Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 243 Pregnant?

"But strangely, I can't see it clearly."

He Lingling's voice was very soft. She glanced at the wall clock not far away and quickened her pace:

"All I could see was a large expanse of bright red blood, and a view of the sky and soil from a first-person perspective."

This was the first time He Lingling had encountered such a bizarre predictive image. She frowned slightly and said:

"There is no clear face, no clear time or place, and no clear source of the blood... I suspect it may be because the story has just begun."

Yu Shijiu looked up while biting into a spicy snack: "I think so too."

The side effects of using a talent skill right at the start of the game are bound to be significant. He thought He Lingling hadn't seen anything, but it turned out she had seen something, which was quite unexpected.

Lu Chusheng nodded in agreement: "It's very good."

Lu Chusheng secretly memorized the prediction points of "blood" and "sky and soil," and looked at He Lingling, who was still thinking.

"Any more?"

besides?

Yu Shijiu and Xu Han looked over at the same time and saw He Lingling struggling to open her mouth, and finally speaking hesitantly.

"I actually have another doubt."

He Lingling: "Did you notice that your stepmother walks a little strangely?"

strange?

Yu Shijiu, the most obsessed foodie at the table at the time, had no idea what was going on. Hearing this, she looked at Lu Chusheng blankly while biting into her spicy snack.

Lu Chusheng frowned slightly as he carefully recalled his stepmother's behavior when she went upstairs... He hesitated for a moment before saying:

"You mean, her legs spread slightly apart when she walks?"

Xu Han, standing to the side: "..."

He tried hard to recall his memories, but he couldn't sense anything... It wasn't that he wasn't paying attention; it was simply that he couldn't see anything wrong with it...

"Yes."

He Lingling nodded instantly. She quickly said, "As a pregnant woman's belly grows, it can compress the bladder and even the hip bones, causing changes in her gait. It can even lead to pubic bone pain and slower walking..."

He Lingling spoke for a while, then finally whispered:

"I always felt like she was pregnant."

? ? ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, not only the people inside the room, but also many players watching from outside the screen were stunned.

Pregnant?

What pregnancy? My stepmother looks slim and well-proportioned; she's in her most beautiful and comfortable state, both in terms of figure and appearance. How could she possibly be pregnant?

Even Yu Shijiu was surprised for a few seconds, and asked curiously, "She's pregnant? But her belly is still flat?"

Xu Han nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! My stepmother's belly is flat, I remember that too."

Xu Han also remembered that pubic bone pain or other reactions usually only occurred in the later stages of pregnancy. Her stepmother looked so comfortable and natural, so she shouldn't be pregnant.

Lu Chusheng remained silent.

He quickly recalled his memories of being on the first floor, his gaze somewhat indifferent.

It seems the other person is indeed pregnant; there are no signs whatsoever.

"No, she is pregnant."

He Lingling shook her head, interrupting them, "I'm 90 percent sure."

If He Lingling was still somewhat hesitant a few minutes ago, she is now completely certain.

"I'm just wondering why my stepmother didn't tell anyone she was pregnant?"

Yes, the young and beautiful stepmother didn't tell anyone.

The "young master" and "young lady" seemed completely unaware of their stepmother's pregnancy, but as wealthy young men from well-to-do families, they probably wouldn't want their stepmother to give birth to a younger brother or sister.

He Lingling didn't understand this point. To her, the newborn child was pure and lovable, so when she realized that her stepmother seemed to be deliberately hiding her pregnancy, she hesitated and wondered if she had misread it.

But I shouldn't have misread it—

Why should we tell them?

The person who interrupted was Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu looked at the three people's puzzled eyes, and a sweet smile slowly spread across her lips:

"If I'm not mistaken, she probably wants to wait until her pregnancy is more stable before making any decisions."

Just like... his stepmother, whom he killed in real life.

Thinking of the woman who brought him countless nightmares and pain in his childhood, Yu Shijiu felt a stinging sensation all over his body for a moment.

It hurts so much.

It hurts so much.

It really hurts so much!

"what happened?"

The boy's trembling, unsteady body was swiftly grabbed by Lu Chusheng, whose usually indifferent expression suddenly crumbled:

What's wrong with your body?

Xu Han and He Lingling were also startled and quickly stepped forward to help Yu Shijiu, but Lu Chusheng, who was not knowing what he was thinking, blocked them with his body without making a sound.

Xu Han, unaware of the other person's movements, was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, and kept saying:

"Could we be being watched by something? That shouldn't be the case. It's only just begun, and nothing has happened yet. How could we be being watched..."

When the heat from Lu Chusheng's body came through the skin, Yu Shijiu blinked slowly, and the strange stinging pain on her skin and even deep into her flesh suddenly dissipated.

He straightened up, pushed Lu Chusheng away, and then shook his head:

"It's nothing, I just lost my balance."

After speaking, Yu Shijiu blinked and resumed his usual cheerful and smiling appearance, still tightly clutching the spicy strips that Xu Han had just handed him.

"Maybe I'm just too spicy?"

Lu Chusheng and He Lingling: "..."

Both of them were intelligent and naturally knew that Yu Shijiu didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't press the matter. It was Xu Han, on the other hand…

Xu Han was clearly still worried and hurriedly said, "Really? Then you can't eat spicy strips. Give them to me, Shi Jiu. You'd be better off eating bread; bread isn't spicy..."

"..." Yu Shijiu silently stuffed the spicy strip behind her back and shook her head in polite refusal:

"I think we can still hold out for now. We've already opened the spicy snacks, so we can't waste them."

"How can you call it a waste?" Xu Han said urgently, "Don't throw the rest to me, keep it for yourself, I don't mind."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

I'm sorry, Xu Han, I think I'm "just a little bit" disgusted with you...

Despite this, Xu Han still grabbed Yu Shijiu's hand in a hurry. Just as he was about to activate his talent skill, he realized that there was no sign of injury inside Yu Shijiu's body.

Xu Han: "???"

No, was it really because it was so spicy that you almost fainted?

"Judging from the current plot, the stepmother is hiding her pregnancy, and the 'young master' and 'young lady' are, respectively, irritable and... well, mentally unstable. There's nothing dangerous at the moment, but things might change tonight."

Seeing that the clock was approaching twelve o'clock, He Lingling quickly finished summarizing and urged:

"Are you sure Shi Jiu is alright? If she is, let's go back to our room quickly."
