Happy Youngsters: Lin Miaomiao and Yingzi are vying to have babies!

"A little bit~" Lin Miaomiao held Xia Xue's hand, her voice soft and tinged with a hint of grievance.

"Don't cry, Miaomiao. I'll go get you some snacks right now."

"I don't want to eat~"

Hearing that Lin Miaomiao had even refused her favorite snacks, the two girls felt even more sorry for her.

"Xiaoxue, Yingzi, I think I saw my great-grandmother waving at me." Seeing her best friend's distressed expression, Lin Miaomiao suddenly felt playful.

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, don't scare us!" The two girls had never seen anything like this before, and they were immediately terrified, tears streaming down their faces.

"Oh no~" Lin Miaomiao dramatically imitated the exaggerated blood-spitting of an actor in a TV series.

The saying "worrying leads to confusion" was perfectly exemplified by Xia Xue and Qiao Yingzi. Lin Miaomiao didn't even have any blood at the corner of her mouth, and neither of them noticed.

"Miaomiao! You can't die. You promised us that we would take the college entrance exam together and stay together every day."

"I don't want to die, but I feel so uncomfortable."

"You two are my best friends. Remember to come and burn paper money for me every year after I'm gone!"

"Oh, and you also need to cook me some delicious snacks. And you must take good care of Lin Haohao and Lin Miaomiao. You absolutely cannot let Lin Ergou bully them."

Lin Miaomiao talked more and more, and the more she talked, the more energetic she became. Only then did Qiao Yingzi and Xia Xue realize that they had been tricked by her.

“Okay, we’ll take good care of Haohao and Miaomiao for you, and we’ll also help you find Xia Ze a good girlfriend.” Qiao Yingzi said, her eyes darting around as she suppressed a laugh.

Lin Miaomiao immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "No need, no need. Just take good care of Lin Haohao and Lin Miaomiao. You don't need to help him find a girlfriend."

Xia Xue looked at Lin Miaomiao's anxious expression and said, "Sigh, we didn't want this either, but now that you're dead, I have to find my brother a new sister-in-law!"

"I'm not dead yet, what new... ptooey!" Only then did Lin Miaomiao realize she had been tricked.

Seeing the two trying not to laugh, Lin Miaomiao shyly buried her head under the covers and said from inside, "Let's just look for them."

Seeing Lin Miaomiao's stubbornness, Xia Xue and Qiao Yingzi exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Qiao Yingzi sat on the edge of the bed and asked curiously, "Miaomiao, you look like you're in a lot of pain."

"Yeah, it looks so painful, but why don't I experience any pain when I have my period every month?"

Qiao Yingzi and Xia Xue are both girls, and they also get their periods during those few days each month.

But none of them were in so much pain that they couldn't breathe or stand up like Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao peeked out from under the covers, looking on with envy: "My mom says this is called menstrual cramps."

Menstrual cramps?

"Yes, it's menstrual cramps. My mom said that one in three girls suffers from menstrual cramps, and poor me is one of them."

Xia Xue patted Lin Miaomiao's head pitifully, while also feeling fortunate that she was the only one of the three girls who wouldn't experience menstrual cramps.

Qiao Yingzi, who was standing nearby, also felt sorry for Lin Miaomiao and brought her a cup of hot water. Fortunately, Lin Miaomiao didn't have menstrual cramps.

"Today was really dangerous. If it weren't for Xia Ze, Miaomiao would probably have had to go to the hospital." Qiao Yingzi felt a wave of fear when she thought of Lin Miaomiao's miserable state just now.

Xia Xue nodded in agreement: "Yes, thanks to my brother, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened to Miaomiao."

"By the way, Miaomiao, did Xia Ze notice that you weren't feeling well earlier?"

"I think so? Ever since you started running, my brother has been by your side. He's usually in first place."

Recalling what happened at noon, Lin Miaomiao nodded: "It seems like your brother has been following me around ever since I finished eating my snacks at noon."

"Wow! Xia Ze is so good to you," Qiao Yingzi said with a hint of envy.

Lin Miaomiao giggled, her silly look somewhat adorable: "Of course! I've decided that from today onwards, Xia Ze is my idol, and to repay him..."

Lin Miaomiao paused at this point. She had originally intended to say that starting tomorrow, she would give the chicken legs she received at noon to Xia Ze, but she hesitated before she could say it.

Xia Xue, laughing, chimed in, "Why don't you become my sister-in-law? That way you'll repay my brother."

"Xiaoxue! What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Miaomiao blushed and wanted to reach out and pat Xia Xue a few times.

But the pain was so bad that he withdrew his hand as soon as he moved it.

"Don't move around too much, the painkillers won't work that quickly."

“Painkillers don’t work that quickly, but I have a way to relieve Miaomiao’s pain quickly,” Xia Xue said mysteriously.

Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she heard that it could quickly relieve pain: "Is there such a method? Xiaoxue, tell me quickly."

"Of course there is. This method may not be very useful for others, but it will definitely work for you."

"What is it?"

"My brother, I've noticed that you seem to feel less pain when you're around."

Chapter 37: School Rumors

Inside the classroom.

Xia Ze, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, walked back to the classroom amidst the strange looks from his classmates.

What the heck? Why are these people looking at me like that?

Is it just because he wasn't wearing his school uniform jacket? But that doesn't justify looking at him like that!

Xia Ze walked over to Fang Yifan's seat: "Fang Hou'er, did something happen to me just now? They were all looking at me like that."

"You didn't know?" Fang Yifan looked at Xia Ze in surprise. How could he not know that such a big thing had happened?

Dog Brother and Shi Fen also gathered around at this time, their eyes filled with shock, envy, and admiration.

"Huh?" Xia Ze was completely confused. What was all this about?

Seeing that Xia Ze seemed genuinely unaware, Fang Yifan glanced around furtively to make sure everyone was a good buddy before secretly taking his phone out of the hole.

"Hey, you've got guts."

Elite high schools do not allow students to bring cell phones into the school. If a student is caught, the phone will be confiscated and the student's parents will be called in.

Fang Yifan dared to commit the crime against the wind, wasn't he afraid that Lao Pan would confiscate his phone?

"It's okay, only our own people know I brought my phone. Besides, I have Haozi to keep me company." Fang Yifan smiled nonchalantly.

But it would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid. If Pan Yuansheng or Tang Yuanming found out about the phone and it was confiscated, that would be a minor matter. But if Dong Wenjie found out, that would be a major problem.

By then, even his father, Fang Yuan, wouldn't be able to save him.

"Who told you to talk about cell phones? Lao Xia, come over here, I've got some juicy news for you."

Compared to Fang Yifan, Jiang Tianhao, whose family had not yet gone bankrupt, was truly indifferent.

He can simply buy a new phone if it's confiscated. As for calling his parents, if the teacher can get them to come to the school, Jiang Tianhao will respect them from now on.

Xia Ze walked over to Jiang Tianhao's side, glanced at his phone, and his expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.

It's unclear who secretly took photos of him carrying Lin Miaomiao into the dormitory and then posted them in the school's group chat.

Suddenly, all sorts of rumors and gossip began to circulate.

[Shocking news! School heartthrob Xia Ze was caught carrying a girl into the girls' dormitory!]

Have you all heard? Xia Ze broke into the girls' dormitory alone, got caught by a female teacher, and now the school is going to expel him.

[Wait a minute? I heard that Xia Ze was caught dating a girl in his class and was going to be punished by the teacher.]

[The freshmen are really something! They managed to get a spot in the girls' dorm within just two weeks of the start of the semester. The upperclassmen are truly impressed!]

Upon seeing these messages, Xia Ze remained calm on the surface, but was inwardly furious.

At this moment, Fang Yifan and the others realized that their good brother was really angry!

"Don't worry, Lao Xia, we've already explained it in the group."

"These idiots just love to make things up. They talk nonsense without even knowing what happened."

"I just posted on the school's online forum and even hired some online trolls. It won't be long before Lao Xia and Miao Ge are cleared of wrongdoing."

Having learned what had happened, Fang Yifan and the others naturally trusted their good brother, so they cleared things up for him before Xia Ze even returned to the classroom.

Even the rather short-tempered Dog Brother personally went online and argued with a group of trolls for several hours.

"You bunch of idiots deserve to be cursed." Tired of typing, Dog Bro started cursing in the group chat via voice message.

Xia Ze felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at his brothers who were explaining things for him.

In life, it's rare to meet a few truly sincere friends. Fortunately, he was lucky to have met Fang Yifan and Dog Brother.

The topic of Xia Ze entering the girls' dormitory is still gaining traction, and some people who envy Xia Ze are constantly smearing him.

"Thanks, brothers. Please ask Lao Tang for half a day off for me. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, Xia Ze turned around and left the classroom.

He didn't leave the school, but went to the infirmary and got a certificate from the female nurse who had examined Lin Miaomiao earlier.

Then they went to the school's security office, and after proving their identity, they retrieved the surveillance footage from the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

From the surveillance footage, Xia Ze quickly identified the suspect who took the photos.

He had seen this person before; he seemed to be a poor student in his senior year of high school who just coasted through his days at school.

"Thank you, security guard. I'd like to copy this video." Xia Ze took out a USB flash drive he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.
