Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

She was craving it so badly. She hadn't eaten fast food in the three years since her rebirth, and she couldn't resist it when she saw it while driving by.

I wonder if Young Master Shen has ever eaten this stuff before…

While waiting in line to order, Xu Su asked the man next to her, "Is there anything you'd like to eat? And what about the burgers? Do you have a favorite flavor?"

Shen Chen glanced at the menu in her hand, the dazzling array of dishes on it made him look away immediately. "You decide what to arrange."

Judging by their appearance, they haven't eaten before...

Xu Su immediately understood what he meant, ordered a bunch of things from the menu, and when it was time to pay, Shen Chen handed her a card first.

In the days before mobile payments, Xu Su always carried loose change in her bag. She pushed Shen Chen away, saying, "I said I'd treat you to a meal, so I have to pay for it!"

She took two hundred-yuan bills out of her bag and gave them to the waiter.

Faced with the choice between money and a card, the waitress chose the RMB in Xu Su's hand.

Xu Su glanced smugly at Shen Chen: "Come on, let's find a place to sit."

The two found a spot in a corner. The food came out quickly, and Xu Su had ordered quite a lot, filling the table to the brim.

"Eat up," Xu Su urged the person opposite her, "Eat it while it's hot, fried food doesn't taste as good when it's cold."

Shen Chen didn't hesitate. He picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup like the people around him, and ate it.

Even a single French fry is eaten so slowly and methodically.

Xu Su handed him a glove: "Is this your first time eating at McDonald's?"

Shen Chen hummed in agreement, looked at the table full of food, and asked her, "You really like this?"

"I wouldn't say I really like it, but it's nice to have it once in a while."

Xu Su gave Shen Chen a giant hamburger, watched him eat it, and then asked, "How does it taste?"

"...It's alright," Shen Chen commented simply, amused by her. "If I didn't know better, I would have thought you made it. You're just staring at me, aren't you going to eat any yourself?"

"Eat, I'll eat right now!" Xu Su was a little embarrassed by his smile. This was the first time she had invited him to dinner, so she should at least show some concern.

When ordering, Xu Su wanted to eat this and that.

But once they started eating, Xu Su felt a bit greasy after only a few fries.

She had a poor appetite during the few days she was learning to drive, but in order not to waste food, Xu Su forced herself to take two bites of a chicken leg burger.

Unfortunately, there was a piece of fat in the chicken thigh patty of the hamburger. When she swallowed it, Xu Su tasted the greasy flavor as it passed down her throat, and she immediately felt nauseous. She endured it for a while, but her eyes welled up with tears from disgust.

Finally, I couldn't hold back anymore...

She suddenly stood up, covered her mouth, and ran towards the toilet.

Xu Su leaned over the sink, wishing she could vomit up everything she had just eaten.

Someone handed her a tissue, which Xu Su took after rinsing her mouth.

As she looked up at the mirror and wiped her lips, she saw Shen Chen standing beside her with a blank expression and frighteningly deep eyes.

Xu Su was taken aback, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Did it affect your appetite? I didn't mean to, but I seem to be suffering from summer heat these past few days, and nothing tastes good."

"Are you still vomiting?" Shen Chen grabbed her arm. "If you're not vomiting, come to the hospital with me."

"Why are you going to the hospital?" Xu Su was being pulled out by him, and couldn't help but explain, "I'm perfectly healthy. I just lose my appetite for a while every summer. It's nothing serious."

This was the first time Shen Chen had ignored Xu Su's words. With a stern face, he pulled her to the car, pushed her into the passenger seat, quickly walked around the front of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.

"Fasten your own seatbelt."

After saying that, Shen Chen took out his phone and made a call, actually contacting the hospital.

Xu Su was a little confused by his show of force: "Seriously? Is it really necessary? People who don't know better would think I have some serious illness."

Shen Chen hung up the phone, casually put it down, and turned to look at Xu Su: "Xu Su, are you on your period?"

"…!" Xu Su's pupils suddenly dilated: "What do you mean?"

Her fingers curled up unconsciously…

“Answer me,” Shen Chen’s voice was cold and hard, “You said you were coming a week ago, so you’re here?”

A fart came...

They've been seeing each other almost every day for the past few days, and Xu Su never holds back when it comes to what she eats in front of him. She drinks anything, whether it's ice-cold or cold, and just now she even had a few sips of soda.

Shen Chen knew this, of course. His expression darkened further, and he increased the car's speed without saying a word.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the girl in the passenger seat whose face was gradually turning pale. His hand on the steering wheel paused slightly, and he unconsciously softened his tone: "Are you scared?"

Xu Su didn't reply to him, but silently calculated her menstrual cycle in her mind.

...It was delayed by four days.

"My appointments are never accurate, so it's normal for me to be a few days late." She said this, but a look of panic gradually appeared on her face.

Zhou Mochen always takes proper measures, how could that be?

Xu Su could not accept any possible accidents.

She's only nineteen, she hasn't even gone to university yet, how could she be pregnant?

But she also felt nauseous and her period was delayed…

What should I do if I really get pregnant?

Birth?

No, no!

She hasn't even reached the legal wedding age, how can she allow herself to become an unwed mother?

Not to have children?

...Would Zhou Mochen agree?

Xu Su's mind was in turmoil, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

"Don't panic," Shen Chen patted her hand. Even though he himself was about to explode with all the guesses in his head, seeing how scared she was, he couldn't help but comfort her.

"It's not certain yet. You should go to the hospital for a check-up first. It might just be because of your stomach problems these past few days."

Shen Chen sped up again and again, driving at breakneck speed all the way to the private hospital.

A row of doctors in white coats stood at the entrance. This time, Shen Chen didn't bother with pleasantries and headed straight for the obstetrics and gynecology department, holding Xu Su's hand.

The doctor who saw us was a woman. When she saw that the leader had brought people with him, she asked very detailed questions during the consultation.

The doctor calculated the dates and said that if she was indeed pregnant, she was currently in the early stages of pregnancy, and a pregnancy test might not be accurate.

Blood tests are more accurate.

We'll expedite the testing; results will be available in an hour or two.

Xu Su nodded in agreement and was about to speak when Shen Chen spoke up first: "Take a pregnancy test first."

……

A few minutes later, Xu Su held the pregnancy test given to her by the doctor and began to study how to use it.

To my shame, having lived over thirty years in total across both lifetimes, this was the first time she had ever used this thing.

Once Xu Su learned how to use it, a pretty nurse led her to the restroom.

Shen Chen accompanied her the whole time. Seeing Xu Su's absent-minded state, he couldn't help but pat her on the back and say gently, "Go in, I'll wait for you here."

He had calmed himself down and, thinking she must be terrified, comforted her, "Don't be afraid no matter what the outcome is, okay?"

"..." Xu Su looked up and saw his eyes full of concern. She was really touched. She nodded and went into the bathroom.
