The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 6
The Transmigration Diary 6
In the morning, when Wen Shiyu woke up, she felt a wave of sour, throbbing headache.
She forced her eyes open with great effort, but what met her vision was a high, completely unfamiliar ceiling…
“!”
Wen Shiyu suddenly sat up, and a soft cashmere blanket that had been covering her body slid down.
She looked around; the vast living room was empty except for her.
Seraphina was not there. The doctor from last night was nowhere to be seen either.
What happened? She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have drunk too much last night, and then… her memories became a bit blurry.
How did she end up falling asleep here?
Wen Shiyu scratched her messy hair in frustration, and just as she was about to get up, she faintly heard the subtle clinking of porcelain coming from the direction of the dining room next door.
Was it Seraphina?
Was she having her meal in the dormitory today?
She hesitated for a moment, then straightened out her crumpled school uniform and walked toward the dining room.
The dining room was slightly smaller than the living room but equally exquisite.
A snow-white tablecloth was spread over the long dining table, adorned with fresh bouquets of flowers.
A middle-aged maid in a uniform stood silently nearby, waiting to serve.
Seraphina sat alone at one end of the long table, unhurriedly eating her breakfast.
Wen Shiyu noticed that Seraphina’s complexion seemed a bit better than yesterday; that fragile sensation of being almost transparently pale had diminished, and her lips had regained a bit of color.
This made her whole being appear more vivid and beautiful.
Was it because she had rested for a night, or…?
Hope suddenly rose in Wen Shiyu’s heart. She walked to the side of the table and spoke hesitantly,
“Um, about yesterday… did I succeed?”
The motion of Seraphina cutting her fried egg came to a halt. She slowly lifted her eyelashes.
It was as if she couldn’t believe the other girl had the nerve to even ask.
“Of course not.”
“Huh? …But,” Wen Shiyu couldn’t help but defend herself in a small voice, “you look… like you’re doing a bit better?”
She subconsciously leaned in closer, staring intently at Seraphina.
The roots of Seraphina’s ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but her expression quickly became even colder and harder.
“Wen Shiyu! I gave you a chance, and as a result, you gave me that kind of perfunctory and ineffective method, and you even got drunk in my house.”
“Do you understand? Without my help, your family will absolutely not get that loan.”
She suddenly set down her knife and fork, and for a moment, she seemed to be intentionally imitating her cold mother.
“Are you going to just watch your family’s company step by step toward bankruptcy and liquidation?”
Wen Shiyu’s heart tightened.
“I wasn’t being perfunctory. Don’t you believe that I also really want to solve the problem?”
“Drinking was the only way I could think of. I already didn’t know what else to do.”
“That is your problem; I only care about the result.”
Seraphina turned her face away.
“But if you force me like this, I can’t think of a solution either.”
Wen Shiyu couldn’t help but talk back, “The greater the pressure, the more I—”
“I am forcing you?” Seraphina suddenly stood up, her eyes faintly reddening.
“Wen Shiyu, it was you who forced me! You completely disrupted my marriage and childbearing plans, forcing me to endure all of this, forcing me to tolerate your existence!”
“I have no reason to be sympathetic to your difficulties, no reason to accommodate you…”
“And no reason to have to engage in intimate contact with you just to get pheromones!”
Wen Shiyu was stunned for a moment.
What intimate contact?
Could physical contact also transmit pheromones?
If Seraphina truly was, as she believed, “forced” into this situation by her, then she indeed did not deserve sympathy.
But in reality, for Wen Shiyu, wasn’t this also a completely undeserved disaster…
The two stood in a stalemate; the dining room was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.
“In short, just figure it out yourself.”
After a long while, Seraphina seemed to regret her agitated reaction. She wiped her eyes forcefully and sat back down in her chair.
“I will give you one last chance today.”
“Tonight, here again. If you still can’t release pheromones…”
“Your parents’ loan application will be rejected!”
“…” Wen Shiyu stood in place, not knowing what else to say for a time.
She turned, hesitatingly planning to leave and go back to rack her brains again.
However, Seraphina spoke again with a commanding tone.
“Now, sit down and eat with me!”
“?”
When Wen Shiyu turned back in surprise, Seraphina was already no longer looking at her, her expression so cold it was as if she hadn’t been the one to say those words.
Wen Shiyu looked at the dazzling array of breakfast items on the table. Freshly baked pastries, nutritious fried eggs, a colorful fruit salad… compared to the school cafeteria’s free bread slices that she was already tired of eating.
“…Oh.” She gave a muffled response and, without much hesitation, sat down at the other end of the long table, the furthest position from Seraphina.
Might as well eat since it’s free…
…
Throughout the next day, although Wen Shiyu was attending classes normally, she was actually constantly writing and drawing in her notebook.
The core of her research was only one thing: besides directly releasing pheromones, through what other ways could an Alpha allow an Omega to obtain pheromones?
The answers on the internet were blunt and explicit. One careless click could lead to indescribable content.
The answers were also very obvious.
It was nothing more than: deep kissing, temporary or permanent marking, and various even more intimate, direct physical contacts and exchanges of bodily fluids.
This sort of thing Seraphina had already clearly stated she could not accept, and in truth, Wen Shiyu couldn’t really accept it either.
However, if one looked at the essence through the phenomenon, one would know that pheromones were essentially a type of chemical signal existing within an Alpha’s bodily fluids. Therefore, as long as the transfer or contact of bodily fluids could be achieved, the possibility of transmission existed.
…Sweat, blood, saliva.
Wen Shiyu scribbled in her notebook, and finally selected these three as the easiest to operate.
Although she didn’t actually have pheromones, all of this depended on whether Seraphina felt she smelled them.
And according to her grades, Seraphina’s biology must be very good. Therefore, she also had to master the correct knowledge so that she could simulate the effect…
Unfortunately, the pheromones in bodily fluids seemed to decompose and disappear rapidly once they left the body.
The simple method of taking a tube of blood and telling Seraphina “This is my pheromone, drink it” did not exist.
Wen Shiyu thought about it and decided to cross out blood first.
Then all that remained was…
Just as she was pondering, a slight commotion faintly drifted in from outside the classroom window.
She happened to be sitting by the window and instinctively looked up.
She saw that on the tree-lined path not far away, Su Yan was half-supporting and half-embracing Seraphina, walking toward the dormitory area.
Seraphina’s head was slightly lowered; one hand was supported by Su Yan, and the other hand seemed to be unconsciously covering her lower abdomen.
Her face was much paler than it had been at the dining table this morning.
Wen Shiyu’s heart skipped a beat. What happened to her? Wasn’t she fine this morning?
Could it be that the physiological reactions brought by the “pseudopregnancy” were actually worsening?
Just then, the bell for the end of class happened to ring.
Wen Shiyu thought for a moment, packed her books, and decided to go directly to find Seraphina.
Since she had thought of a new direction, it was better to try it as soon as possible.
Familiar with the way, she avoided the main roads and once again shuttled through those secluded paths, walking quickly toward the detached villa dormitory area.
However, just as she was nearing her destination, she saw from a distance that Su Yan was just coming out of the front door of the villa, seemingly having just settled Seraphina in and preparing to leave.
Wen Shiyu’s heart jumped, and she instinctively ducked behind the lush ornamental bushes by the side of the road, holding her breath.
She didn’t want to be caught by Su Yan coming to see Seraphina privately.
She crouched behind the bushes, ears perked to listen to the sounds outside, estimating that Su Yan should have walked far away before she carefully poked her head out.
The result was a direct eye-contact with Su Yan.
Wen Shiyu was so startled her hair almost stood on end, and she nearly sat back down immediately.
Su Yan had her arms folded across her chest, having stood by these bushes for who knows how long.
“Student Wen Shiyu,” Su Yan looked down at her, her voice steady, “do you have some business here?”
Wen Shiyu: “…”
She stood up and patted the grass leaves off her clothes, “…Took the wrong path.”
“If I remember correctly, your apartment dormitory area should be in the opposite direction.”
“…I have no sense of direction.”
Su Yan: “…”
She ultimately did not continue to press the issue, but merely stepped aside a bit and tilted her chin toward the main road nearby: “Fine. Let’s go.”
“?” Wen Shiyu didn’t understand.
“The exit is that way.” Su Yan was concise, her tone brook no argument, “I’ll lead you out.”
“…” Wen Shiyu was speechless and could only resignedly follow Su Yan’s footsteps.
Su Yan’s height was close to 1.8 meters, and years of physical training gave her a tall, straight posture and a steady, powerful stride. Walking by her side, Wen Shiyu could clearly feel the sense of pressure brought by the other person.
Along the way, it was very silent between the two.
After walking for a distance, Su Yan finally used her peripheral vision to carefully size up Wen Shiyu beside her.
In her memory, every time Wen Shiyu saw her, she was always wearing exaggerated makeup, trying all sorts of absurd reasons to manufacture physical contact—clumsily “falling” into her arms or using a coy tone to make various unreasonable demands.
And when Seraphina was present, she would immediately switch to another face of twisted jealousy, casting venomous glances in secret. That kind of duplicity had once made Su Yan feel extreme aversion.
But the Wen Shiyu walking beside her right now was fresh-faced, with her school uniform worn properly.
She kept her head slightly lowered, her gaze fixed on the ground ahead; instead, she had a sense of awkwardness as if she wished she could get away from her immediately.
She was more like an introverted, shy, somewhat socially anxious little girl(?).
This contrast was so stark that Su Yan couldn’t help but take an extra look.
Finally, the two returned to the main road near the teaching building. Wen Shiyu breathed a secret sigh of relief, feeling that they could finally go their separate ways.
“Then I’ll just…” She was impatient to say goodbye.
Just then, the phone in Wen Shiyu’s pocket suddenly rang urgently. She instinctively pulled it out to look, and the name “Seraphina” was jumping on the screen.
She immediately covered it tightly.
Su Yan said, “Aren’t you going to answer it?”
Wen Shiyu swallowed nervously and looked up to meet Su Yan’s gaze.
But the other’s expression looked very calm.
Maybe she didn’t see the name on the screen clearly?
Wen Shiyu forced a tug at the corners of her mouth.
“It’s an advertisement.”
“Thanks for showing me the way, then I’ll be going now…”
“Wen Shiyu.”
Su Yan called out to her again.
Wen Shiyu had to stop.
“Saint Windsor Academy possesses top-tier faculty and academic resources that match its exorbitant tuition.”
“For the current you, the most important thing is to study hard, cherish every moment here, and graduate successfully from this place.”
Wen Shiyu was stunned.
What kind of positive-energy, “old cadre” type speech was this?
Was it because she was the Student Council President?
Su Yan’s expression was very serious. “Put your mind on your studies and don’t have any more strange plans.”
“If you hurt Seraphina again, in whatever form, I will not let you off.”
She paused, looked into Wen Shiyu’s eyes, and asked word by word: “Do you understand?”
Wen Shiyu: “…You’ve misunderstood.”
Su Yan said nothing more, just turned and left.
Wen Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to walk toward her dormitory.
However, after a few steps, she ducked into a classroom and waited for a few minutes to confirm that Su Yan hadn’t doubled back.
Only then did she pull out the phone that was still stubbornly ringing non-stop.
On the screen, the name “Seraphina” flashed continuously along with the vibration, as if it could transmit the owner’s growing, impatient anger through the screen.
Wen Shiyu didn’t dare delay any longer, gripped her phone tightly, and once again ran toward the direction of that detached villa dormitory.
