Luo Ziling felt a bit helpless and awkward, so he explained again, "I met a beautiful woman tonight, just helping each other out."
"Oh, so you went to verify something, how did it turn out?" Ouyang Feifei's response was quick.
At this time, Yang Qingyin's message also came back.
"I'm too lazy to be jealous of you, forget it, I don't want to bother with you anymore, I need to sleep, I'm exhausted today. I wanted someone to come over and give me a massage, but it looks like it's not going to happen."
"Should I come over now then?"
"Forget it, let's talk tomorrow. You should get some rest early too, knowing you have many things to handle, don't overwork yourself!" Yang Qingyin added two kissing emojis after her message.
Luo Ziling immediately felt happy and replied with several kissing emojis as well.
Only then did Luo Ziling reply to Ouyang Feifei's message: "I'm very busy, don't have time for these things, you know?"
"Seems like there's really nothing going on, you just tricked me!"
Luo Ziling casually replied: "Someday when you come over, you'll see whether it's a lie or not!"
"Bring it on, who's afraid!"
Seeing this message, Luo Ziling was instantly dumbfounded.
Ouyang Feifei sent another message: "Huihui is coming back tomorrow."
"..."
Looking at the last message sent by Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling was dazed for a while.
Ouyang Huihui was forced to go abroad, it hasn't even been a year yet.
Previously, although Luo Ziling often had entanglements with Ouyang Huihui, he never regarded her as someone important in his life.
Until the two of them had an encounter, Ouyang Huihui got pregnant, and his feelings changed.
But after meeting Ouyang Huihui in Japan, she didn't hesitate to terminate the pregnancy and then went to Europe.
Ouyang Huihui's actions left Luo Ziling feeling very frustrated; her elevated status in his heart plummeted again.
In the past few months, Luo Ziling barely thought about anything related to Ouyang Huihui.
Luo Ziling felt that perhaps Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei both thought that enough time had passed and that Ouyang Feifei's actions had disappointed him, so they weren't worried about Ouyang Huihui causing trouble upon her return. Currently, Luo Ziling also did not want to have any more troubles with Ouyang Huihui.
Thus, he decided not to bother with Ouyang Huihui's return.
When Ouyang Feifei saw Luo Ziling not replying for a long time, she sent another message: "Don't want her to come back?"
"I'm very busy, don't have time for these matters. It's late, I'm going to sleep, good night."
"Alright, good night!" Ouyang Feifei didn't say anything more.
That night, Luo Ziling had a dream of a very cute little girl with two small braids running towards him, waving her hands. "Daddy, Daddy, hug, hug!"
Luo Ziling happily picked up the child.
After picking up the child, a woman also approached.
At first glance, it looked like Ouyang Huihui, but then it was Chen Xiaoyi.
When the woman walked up to him, she suddenly changed her expression, snatched the child, and ran away quickly.
Luo Ziling hurriedly gave chase.
He ended up tripping over something and fell to the ground with a thud.
Opening his eyes, he found himself had fallen off the bed, with his legs tangled in the bed sheets.
He got up sweating, lying back in bed, he couldn't sleep for a while.
Why would he have a dream like this?
Could it be that Ouyang Huihui didn't actually abort the child?
Luo Ziling roughly calculated the time; if Ouyang Huihui hadn't terminated the pregnancy, coming back at this time would mean she'd be about eight months along, close to delivery.
After calculating the dates, he felt it necessary to go see Ouyang Huihui and check whether she actually got rid of the child.
Luo Ziling thought of Chen Xiaoyi again, calculating the time they met and engaged intimately in South Korea, it was early March, roughly seven months from now. If Chen Xiaoyi also accidentally got pregnant, she should be over seven months pregnant now.
With a pregnancy of over seven months, she'd have about two months to go before delivery.
Luo Ziling recalculated, if he and the other members of Dragon Rise go to Europe, it would likely be in about two months.
If Chen Xiaoyi accidentally got pregnant and held on until delivering, he should be able to see the child when he goes to Europe.
Wondering why he suddenly thought of these things and even calculated the times in detail, Luo Ziling felt a bit strange when he came to his senses.
Why did he suddenly think of these weird things?
Ouyang Huihui's pregnancy was a fact, but Luo Ziling was almost certain she had terminated the pregnancy.
Otherwise, Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei wouldn't have let her come back, and certainly wouldn't have allowed her to live visibly pregnant.
Ling Ruonan also wouldn't have permitted Ouyang Huihui to have a child.
Luo Ziling also believed that it's impossible for Chen Xiaoyi to be pregnant, otherwise it would be too awkward.
Besides, they are blood relatives, though distantly related, being beyond three generations apart, it's definitely not good to have such close blood relations.
The dream in the middle of the night left Luo Ziling muddled for a long time, resulting in not sleeping well the entire night.
The next day, he was yawning on his way to school.
After taking over the teaching and laboratory responsibilities, Luo Ziling felt he had little chance to sleep in.
After giving a class on acupuncture to freshmen, he went to attend a lecture on diagnostics.
The feeling of being a teacher at one time and a student at another is quite odd.
Near noon, Luo Ziling received a call from Lin Zeping personally, asking if he had time in the afternoon.
Lin Zeping said on the phone that he wanted to discuss some work matters with Luo Ziling, seeking advice on certain things.
With Lin Zeping personally calling to invite him for a meeting, Luo Ziling naturally felt it would be impolite to refuse.
He asked Dong Xiaowan to cover his afternoon class so he could meet Lin Zeping.
Actually, Luo Ziling and Dong Xiaowan, as well as the other few people, could swap classes.
Though there are differences in their grasp of foundational knowledge, there's no substantial difference.
The differences lie in their teaching style and the degree of patience.
Dong Xiaowan really enjoys teaching students, feeling a great sense of accomplishment when the students admire her during lectures. Additionally, she believes her teaching skills are definitely better, something Wang Feiyang can't match.
Thus, when Luo Ziling asked her to take more classes, she gladly accepted.
Lin Zeping sent his secretary to pick him up.
In this regard, Wang Zhengqiang and Lin Zeping's approaches were quite similar.
Wang Zhengqiang had Wang Feiyang bring him over, while Lin Zeping's secretary picking him up seemed more formal, but it was similar in nature.
On the way, Lin Zeping's secretary politely chatted with Luo Ziling for a few moments.
Luo Ziling didn't intend to probe for information, so he casually chit-chatted as well.
After the car had been driving for around half an hour, it entered that mysterious area.
