"Was that the reason you ran away?" Wang Xiao asked, his gaze piercing.
"..." Anran's lips pressed tightly together, a clear sign of inner turmoil. After a moment's hesitation, she shook her head, her voice a soft murmur. "That's not it."
Wang Xiao, sensing something amiss, pressed further. "So what is it?"
"...um..." Anran's hesitation grew, the words seeming to stick in her throat.
"Anran, whatever you are hiding, you better spill it out," Wang Xiao insisted, his tone firm and unyielding.
"Oops," Anran chuckled nervously, she knocked her head playfully, still adrift in the air.
She shut her eyes, a final smile flickering across her face as if bracing for an impending storm. "I guess I am pregnant...hehe..."
!!
Her words, light and airy, hit Wang Xiao like a ton of bricks.
Thud!
"Ouch... " Anran suddenly fell onto him, and Wang Xiao's expression darkened with confusion and suprise.
