Bai Meiyue felt her head hurt, and she wondered whether she should start looking at the almanac every day before leaving home. How come one thing kept happening after another? She sighed heavily. Not knowing what was going on outside, she supported her belly with her hand and then headed down the stairs. Because her body had gotten heavier, it was a bit difficult for Bai Meiyue to walk. But she still headed outside after hearing the sound of a quarrel.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Tong Huan tugging her hand free of Bai Zhan. Her eyes were red and filled with tears; she looked like she was close to crying.
"Huan, listen to me. It's not what you think—I was just–"
SLAP!
"I don't want to listen to a thing that you want to tell me. You are a liar." Tong Huan wiped her eyes furiously. She raised her foot and kicked Bai Zhan on the shin before turning around on her feet and running away.
