Just graduated, the aloof school flower brought the baby to the door? - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Alumni Group Exploded

Shu Mengyao turned her head to look at Lin Yang.

It seemed like she was confirming something.

After a moment.

“Husband.”

She called out again.

Her voice was still low.

Her cheeks flushed with a hint of red.

“Wife.”

This time, Lin Yang also called her.

It was the first time he called her ‘wife’.

Both of them felt a bit awkward calling each other like that.

Nervous yet happy.

“Lin Yang.”

Shu Mengyao still felt more comfortable using names.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Yang felt the same way.

Calling each other husband and wife felt a bit awkward.

But when Shu Mengyao used her soft, tender voice to say his name, it felt like she was being coquettish.

It sounded even better that way.

“Lying is wrong!”

Shu Mengyao looked at Lin Yang seriously, emphasizing each word.

Why did she suddenly talk about lying?

Who did he lie to?

Lin Yang was a bit puzzled.

“I didn’t prepare any gifts for Uncle… Mom and Dad.”

Shu Mengyao originally wanted to call them Uncle and Auntie.

But since they were already married, she had to change how her address them.

Bringing up this topic made her feel guilty.

It was really impolite.

She had thought about preparing gifts.

But for the sake of having a baby, she had spent all her money.

Now she had the intention but lacked the means.

When she heard that Lin Yang had sent gifts in her name, she felt even more guilty.

This was something she should have done.

It could be considered deception.

Shu Mengyao was distressed.

She didn’t want Lin Yang to become a liar because of her.

“Silly.”

“We’re husband and wife; what’s mine is yours.”

“Where’s the deception?”

Lin Yang couldn’t help but smile.

He never expected that Shu Mengyao would worry about something like this.

And she was so serious about it.

It was incredibly adorable.

“Is that so?”

Shu Mengyao tilted her head. She had never thought about it from this angle.

With Lin Yang’s explanation, it seemed like there was no problem.

“Yes, exactly.”

Lin Yang nodded confidently.

Now Shu Mengyao fully believed him.

“I’m sorry, I blamed you.”

She apologized sincerely.

Shu Mengyao was always straightforward in her expressions.

No beating around the bush.

The more straightforward, the more innocent and cuter she appeared.

Lin Yang’s smile deepened.

He ruffled her dark hair.

Ring, ring, ring—

An urgent phone call interrupted the beautiful atmosphere.

Lin Yang took out his phone and saw Wang Chao’s name.

He answered the call.

“Brother Yang, hurry up and check our alumni group! It’s about to explode!”

“Damn, I’ve never seen such intense discussions among all the guys from our school!”

“You’ll regret missing this!”

As soon as the call connected, Wang Chao’s familiar voice came through.

He was still as talkative as ever.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Yang was completely puzzled.

“Just take a look, and you’ll know!”

Click—

Wang Chao hung up without waiting for a response.

Leaving Lin Yang bewildered in the wind.

“What’s wrong?”

Shu Mengyao’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

She sensed something odd in Lin Yang’s expression after that call.

“Wang Chao said the group chat exploded, and he asked me to take a look at the commotion.”

Lin Yang opened WeChat with a suspicious expression.

He wasn’t sure if the group chat had exploded, but his WeChat Moments certainly had.

Within a few hours, he had accumulated hundreds of replies, but the likes were pitifully scarce.

Lin Yang glanced briefly at his Moments and then opened the alumni group chat.

Lin Fan: “Wang Chao, stop spreading rumors! How could Lin Yang be married to Shu Mengyao? She hasn’t been to school in half a year; she probably transferred!”

Zhang Qiang: “Exactly! Wang Chao, even if you’re making things up, at least make it somewhat believable. Saying Lin Yang is with the class flower, I might have believed that!”

Wang Chao: “You mortals wouldn’t understand the value of my insider information!”

Lin Yang observed the endless debate in the group chat.

In summary, the other male students at school refused to believe that he was married to the school flower.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, single-handedly debated with everyone, and there seemed to be a fifty-fifty split in opinions.

Truly, Wang Chao lived up to his reputation.

Lin Yang: …

He didn’t know what to say, so he simply replied with an ellipsis.

Everything was better left unsaid.

Wang Chao: “Brother Yang, you finally showed up!”

Wang Chao: “Quickly tell them that everything I said is true!”

Seeing Lin Yang’s message, Wang Chao became even more excited. He sent several consecutive messages, specifically mentioning Lin Yang.

Lin Yang had initially wanted to keep a low profile, but he had forgotten about Wang Chao. A chink in the armor, indeed.

Lin Yang: “That’s right, Shu Mengyao and I are married.”

Since the cat was out of the bag, he saw no reason to hide it.

They were legally married now, after all.

Liu Mou: “Have you been drinking? Or did you conspire with Wang Chao to deceive us?”

Lin Fan: “Impossible! I haven’t seen the campus belle in half a year. How did you get to see her?”

Zhang Qiang: “I don’t believe it!!! Unless Shu Mengyao says it herself!”

“Why is the group chat exploding?”

Shu Mengyao looked at Lin Yang, amused and curious.

Little did she know that she was the reason behind it all.

“These people refuse to believe that you and I are married,” Lin Yang casually remarked.

“They’re questioning me.”

Shu Mengyao’s pupils dilated. Why wouldn’t they believe it? Could it be that they also liked Lin Yang?

In that moment, she felt pressure for the first time.

Shu Mengyao pondered alone for a while.

Eventually, she silently opened her Moments.

She wasn’t social and rarely shared her life. Since the advent of WeChat, her Moments had always been empty. But this time, she decided to break her own pattern…

Zhang Qiang: “Damn, you guys need to see this! School flower’s Moments seem to have been updated!”

Lin Fan: “Stop lying. I’ve been secretly peeking at her Moments for three years, and she’s never posted anything!”

Ma Li: “Hold on, something seems off about this Moments post?”

The alumni group chat exploded once again.

Although school flower rarely added people, her Moments weren’t restricted to strangers.

Everyone could see them through the group chat.

Countless admirers clicked into her Moments.

Previously, Shu Mengyao’s Moments background had always been a white cat—a picture she found online.

It hadn’t changed in four years. Many people found comfort in that little cat.

But this time, the white cat was gone.

In its place was a group photo—a red-background picture.

In the photo, Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao stood close together, both wearing happy smiles.

It was one of the shots taken by the photographer earlier, and Shu Mengyao had carefully selected her favorite one to set as her Moments background.

Underneath this background was a new Moments post—simple and concise:

“I am married to Lin Yang.”

And she even included a photo of their marriage certificate.
