Before Lin Muxi could finish speaking, she had already rushed down the stairs.

Qin Yao's voice came from behind:
"Even if you're in a hurry, you can't run like that. What if you fall?"

Where was Lin Muxi now?!
The moment Lin Muxi ran out of the dormitory building, she immediately saw Chen Chen standing downstairs.

Sunlight shone on him, outlining his tall and straight figure. His bangs were damp with sweat and clung slightly to his face, but his bright eyes were full of concern and care for her.

Lin Muxi's eyes instantly reddened, and she ran towards Chen Chen without regard for the stares of others.

"You came."

Chen Chen also saw her, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips as he opened his arms to welcome her.

The two embraced in front of the dormitory building, as if the whole world had stood still at that moment.

After a long while, Lin Muxi slightly raised her head, looked at Chen Chen, tears glistening in her eyes, and softly said:
"Why did you skip class and come here?"

Chen Chen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said tenderly:
“In my heart, you are more important than anything else. I know you must be feeling terrible after what happened to you, and I had to be with you. It's all my fault, I'm sorry, I didn't think things through.”

Lin Muxi's nose tingled, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes again.

"I know you didn't mean it, and I've never blamed you."

She hugged Chen Chen tightly, and at that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.

Chen Chen patted her back and gently comforted her:

"Okay, stop crying. Let's go home first and then have a proper talk."

Lin Muxi nodded, and the two walked hand in hand out of the dormitory area.

They didn't speak a word the whole way, but the unspoken understanding and warmth between them filled the air.

About half an hour later, the two returned home.

Chen Chen held Lin Muxi's hand, looked earnestly into her eyes, and said:
“Xiaoxi, no matter what happens, I’ll be by your side. We’ll face this together, don’t be afraid. Now, tell me, have you taken your medicine?”

Lin Muxi bit her lip slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said in a slightly trembling voice:

"I didn't eat..."

After speaking, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with trepidation, and secretly glanced at Chen Chen's reaction.

"It's okay, it's okay if you haven't eaten."

Her eyes were slightly red, filled with helplessness and fear, as she murmured:

"What if... what if I'm really pregnant? I'm so scared..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen gently placed her hand in his palm and then held it tightly, as if to transfer all his strength and determination to her.

His eyes were bright and resolute, his tone steady and powerful:
"Xiaoxi, if you are really pregnant, it will undoubtedly be the most beautiful fruit of our love. Don't worry, I will take full responsibility and never let you suffer any grievances."

Together, we joyfully welcome the arrival of this new life and embark on a brand new chapter in our lives.

Lin Muxi listened quietly to Chen Chen's words. The worries and fears that had lingered in her heart for so long gradually dissipated like the morning mist under the sunlight.

Instead, she was filled with deep emotion, like a warm current flowing through her heart.

At the same time, she also felt a surge of anticipation for the future.

She leaned gently against Chen Chen's shoulder, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his broad shoulders, as if she had found the most solid support.

She closed her eyes slightly, a happy smile playing on her lips, and whispered:
"With you by my side, I feel like I'm really not afraid of anything anymore." Chen Chen gently patted Lin Muxi's back and said tenderly.
"Okay, don't be afraid. All we have to do now is wait. No matter what the outcome, I'll be here for you."

Lin Muxi nodded slightly, nuzzling her head against his shoulder like a docile kitten.

The two nestled quietly on the sofa, the air around them seemed to stand still, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

In the quiet atmosphere, only their soft breathing mingled together.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Muxi heard a rumbling sound coming from her stomach.

The sudden noise shattered the tranquility, and the two of them snapped out of their daze.

Chen Chen gently patted his head, a hint of self-reproach in his voice, his tone filled with guilt:
"It's all my fault, I was so busy... I didn't even realize it was lunchtime."

Lin Muxi couldn't help but chuckle, instantly easing the tense and solemn atmosphere.

She gently poked Chen Chen's arm and said:

"It's not your fault, we were both caught up in those emotions just now."

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi, his eyes full of tenderness, and smiled in response:

"Now I'll go get you something to eat. What would you like? Chinese or Western food? Or I could cook you a bowl of noodles? It's simple and delicious."

Lin Muxi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said with bright eyes:
"I want to eat your tomato and egg noodles, and a soft-boiled egg too. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

"No problem! Leave it to me." Chen Chen said, then got up and strode towards the kitchen.

Soon after, the sounds of cooking utensils clattering and gas ignition came from the kitchen.

Lin Muxi leaned back on the sofa, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

She recalled the conversation between the two of them and felt a warmth in her heart.

This man always gave her a sense of security when she was confused and afraid.

Before long, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen and into the living room.

Lin Muxi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and her stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

Chen Chen walked out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

The top is covered with brightly colored tomatoes and golden eggs, with a perfectly soft-boiled egg lying in the middle, making it look very tempting.

He gently placed the noodles on the coffee table in front of Lin Muxi, then handed her a pair of chopsticks, saying:

"Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Lin Muxi took the chopsticks and eagerly picked up some noodles and put them in her mouth. The rich tomato flavor instantly spread in her mouth. The noodles were chewy and smooth, and cooked to perfection.

"Mmm, it tastes just like before, it's so delicious!"

Lin Muxi said contentedly, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

Chen Chen sat to the side, watching Lin Muxi eat with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face.

At this moment, it felt as if all worries had been thrown to the winds, leaving only the warmth and beauty of this room.

In the days to come, no matter what he might encounter, he secretly resolved to always protect Lin Muxi, shield her from the wind and rain, and give her warmth and support.

While eating, Lin Muxi mumbled, "You should eat something too, don't just stare at me." (End of Chapter)
