My roommate was obsessed with love. She was dating a man ten years older than her.

Less than three months later, she got pregnant unexpectedly.

I advised her to have an abortion, but she didn't take my advice.

I kindly informed her parents. They took her to the hospital to have the baby aborted.

Her boyfriend knew about this and confronted me at the campus gate.

In a burst of panic, I died.

Before I died, I heard my roommate say, "It was this gossipmonger who killed our baby."

Upon opening my eyes again, I went back to the day my roommate found out she was pregnant.

——

"My boyfriend said that the safe period is more effective than condoms, so how did I get pregnant?"

"Could it be that I am the legendary fertile body? Is having a healthy body a kind of trouble?"

"You guys tell me. What should I do?"

I woke up from a nightmare with my body twitching. Only after hearing Hollie Cox's murmurs did I realize that I was reborn.

"We are still in school. You can't keep this child."

Aleah Price was the first to express her opinion, but Hollie retorted quickly, saying, "I know I can't have it, but there is life in my belly."

Aleah said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Hollie sighed, saying, "I have no idea. That's why I'm asking you guys."

Jessa Parker, who usually was indifferent, changed her tone and said to Hollie, "Did your pants fall off by themselves? Why didn't you ask us when you were having fun, but now that you're pregnant, and you are asking for our opinion?"

"A top-notch student from a prestigious university believes in the safe period. It seems that the popularization of physiological knowledge is lacking and inadequate."

Hollie said with a grievance, "It's my first time being in a relationship. I didn't know, I just wanted to ask for your opinions. If you don't help me, it's fine. Why do you have to mock me? Won't you be in pain in your heart?"

Jessa sneered, saying, "Of course, my opinion is you should have it. You should actively have a child at an early age. I wish you two kids in three years, and three kids in five years."

I wanted to pretend to be ignorant, but Hollie, who couldn't beat Jessa verbally, asked me, "Lily, what do you think? What should I do?"

In the previous life, when Hollie and Pedro Moore were just in love, everyone in our dormitory had objections.

Pedro was ten years older than her. He graduated from a community college.

He worked on an assembly line. With his monthly salary, he could barely support himself.

Short and fat, he was ugly and bald. He revealed uneven yellow teeth when he smiled.

Hollie was tall and beautiful. Her parents both worked for the Federal government. She was an only child.

Her monthly living expenses are higher than Pedro's salary.

But she was obsessed with love, saying, "I am not a materialistic woman. I don't care about appearances. I value him because he treats me well."

By saying that Pedro was good to her, she meant that he would say good morning and good night to her on time every day. He would treat her to Pizza Hut and drink coffee at Starbucks once every week.

She thought highly of him on the surface. Secretly, they fought and quarreled fiercely.

Every time she finished a fight, she came to me and treated me as someone to confess her negative emotions.

I comforted her and advised her to break up.

When she was better, she changed her mind and reconciled with Pedro.

She even took screenshots of our chat records, where I advised her to break up, and showed them to Pedro, which made Pedro dislike me.

In the end, her baby was aborted. She didn't dare to vent her anger on her parents. Instead, she took it all out on me.

She accused me of meddling in her business and causing the death of an innocent life.

She even instigated Pedro to kill me, causing my body to be stabbed and mangled.

Before I died, her indifferent look and malicious words hurt me more than the stabbings on my body. She said, "You gossip. Go and accompany our baby in hell."

"It is universally advised not to try to interfere or change someone's fate. Otherwise, one will have to bear the corresponding consequences."

I had another chance at life, so I chose to respect and bless her, hoping she and her dear boyfriend could be entangled together forever and have numerous kids in a short period.

I said in the same way as her, "Yeah, what should you do?"

Hollie said to me emotionally, "Lily, you are the best person in the dormitory. You have many ideas. Can you help me with some ideas?"

"I treated you as my sister and opened my heart to you. You turned around and trampled on my heart and lungs, right?"

"Is it right that good people should die?"

The pain of the previous life was vivid in my mind. I suppressed the anger and hatred in my heart. Smiling pretentiously, I said, "You should ask the child's father about this kind of thing."

Hollie suddenly realized something. Then she looked like a gentlewoman, saying, "I was confused. Why would I ask you guys? You are all little kids. Unlike Pedro, he is mature and stable. He knows how to take care of people."

Jessa exposed her, saying, "How can a man who is mature and stable let you get pregnant before getting married?"

Hollie rolled her eyes, saying, "What do you, a single woman from your childhood, know? I guess you haven't even tasted the taste of a man."

Jessa laughed out loud, saying, "Be with a better man."

Hollie didn't respond. She hurriedly went out to find Pedro.

In the evening, Hollie came back to the dormitory and proudly said, "Pedro and I have decided to keep this child."

Aleah sat up from the bed in shock and said, "Hollie, having a child is not a joke. You need to be cautious."

Hollie smiled sweetly and continued, "Per Pedro, this kid is the fruit of our love. He will take responsibility for me and the baby in my belly."

"He also said that I'd better have a child while I'm young so that I can recover quickly. When I graduate and look for a job, the status of being married and having children will give me an advantage over unmarried and childless girls like you."

"Being pregnant means suffering only during childbirth. After giving birth, I can continue my studies. If I give birth during winter or summer vacation, it won't affect my studies."

"I'm so lucky to be with such a good man. Pedro is so stable. He has great ideas. He has a broader vision than college students."

Aleah asked gently, "Will your parents agree when they find out?"

Hollie touched her belly and said, "Pedro told me not to tell my parents for now. After I give birth, we will register for a marriage if they agree. If they don't agree, he will set me free. He loves me and sincerely considers me."

Jessa said sarcastically, "So he doesn't lose out in any way. He can become a father without suffering any pain."

Hollie glared at Jessa and said, "You're just jealous that I found such a good man. You. As a single woman from your childhood, you may even have irregular periods. You may not be able to have children in the future. Unlike me, I'm careful, but I still got pregnant."

Jessa laughed loudly a few times and started browsing her cell phone, ignoring Hollie.

Aleah gestured at me. I continued to pretend to be ignorant, saying nothing.

A notification rang out. The screen of the cell phone lit up. It was a reminder of a WhatsApp message.

I glanced at my cell phone. Aleah created a group chat for the three of us, asking us what to do.

Aleah said, [Why don't you guys try to persuade her? If Hollie decides to keep the baby, her life will be ruined forever.]

Jessa said, [She loves him very much. Let's respect and bless her decision.]

Aleah said, [Should we tell her parents?]

Jessa said, [Sure. You go and tell them.]

Aleah said, [Lily Shawn, why don't you go and inform them? Don't you have her mom's WhatsApp account?]

I responded, [I'm not going.]

Aleah said, [Why are you so heartless? Do you want to watch a young girl go astray? ]

I asked, [Then why don't you go?]

Aleah said, [Jessa, it's up to you to inform her parents.]

Jessa said, [I'm socially anxious. I can't speak up.]

Aleah said, [I'll edit the content. You only have to send it.]

Jessa said, [I have message phobia.]

I said, [Whoever has the idea should be the one to speak.]

Aleah said, [No wonder people say that the post-gen generation is heartless. It's true.]

Seeing that I and Jessa couldn't be persuaded, Aleah cursed a few words and gave up.

In the previous life, Aleah kept urging me to talk to Hollie's parents.

I thought to myself, "After all, it's my roommate's affair. I should let her parents know."

Hollie's dad was a high school teacher plus the headmaster. He liked to preach to others.

After I told him about this, the first thing he did was blame me for being a negligent roommate, which led to Hollie getting pregnant at such a young age.

Blood was thicker than water. I would never be a villain in this lifetime.

I knew Aleah would never go talk to Hollie's parents. She was that kind of fake saint, always taking advantage of others.

Others did the deeds, but she got all the credit.

When something happened, she ran faster than anyone else.

Pedro was waiting for us at the campus gate. When Aleah saw the knife, her first reaction was to push me towards the knife and put all the blame on me.

She even added fuel to the fire, saying, "I told them it was a life anyway. Lily insisted on telling Hollie's parents. She even said your inferior genes were not worthy of having children."

After hearing this, Pedro became even more furious. He didn't give me a chance to speak.

After the incident, Aleah said, "It is normal for Pedro to kill me. After all, the child is gone. He is sad." She advised my parents to issue a letter of understanding.

For this kind of person like her, she would only feel pain when she was hurt.

The next day, Hollie applied for off-campus accommodation on the grounds of taking the postgraduate entrance examination. She moved in with Pedro.

I went to study in the classroom specifically designed for the postgraduate entrance examination every day. Jessa went out to do part-time work every day. The three of us could only meet each other when we went to bed at night.

We occasionally met Hollie during class. Neither Jessa nor I wanted to sit with her.

She, who had gotten pregnant, talked about the child and the child's father all the time, which was annoying.

Aleah was enthusiastic. She cared about Hollie's baby.

She frequently reminded Hollie to go through the prenatal examination and be in a good mood.

Pedro's mother came from the countryside to take care of Hollie after knowing that she was pregnant.

But there was no mention of a marriage.

Hollie occasionally shares the specific meal made for pregnant women cooked by her mother-in-law on Instagram. The dishes were nothing more than pasta and soup with little nutrition.

Others commented that it was too bland and unappetizing.

She replied, [Per my mother-in-law, during pregnancy, the diet should be light, so that the baby will be small and easy to deliver. Eating too much meat will only make the adults gain weight. The baby can't absorb it.]

Others asked her about the time of getting married and having a wedding.

She replied, [Per my husband, there is no rush to get married. Many people in his hometown only get married after having a child. Now that I am pregnant, I naturally can't have a wedding.]

I secretly laughed in my heart, thinking, "Getting married after having a child means having a son before getting married."

"It's okay. Those who are willing to endure hardships will have endless hardships to endure."

Hollie often shared her daily life in our group chat.

On the surface, they were a loving couple, and she got along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She emphasized that she had a peaceful life.

But privately, she often messaged me to complain about her husband and mother-in-law.

In the previous life, right after Pedro hit Hollie, she complained to me.

I advised her that she couldn't be with a man who hit a woman. After all, it was a matter of principle.

But she said and smiled sweetly, [It's normal for couples to have a playful fight. You wouldn't understand us if you weren't in a relationship. I hit him too. Every time he hits me, he kneels and apologizes to me.]

In this life, she complained to me again that Pedro hit her. I replied, [No couple doesn't fight in this world. Fighting at the beginning and making up at the end is a common thing. It shows that there is passion between you.]

She complained to me that Pedro didn't come home every day.

Her mother-in-law said that all men were like this. After all, they were all busy with work to earn money and support the family.

I replied, [Your mother-in-law is right.]

She complained again, saying that she was pregnant, and her mother-in-law made her do housework, laundry, and cooking every day.

When she asked Pedro to do housework, her mother-in-law got angry, saying that these were women's chores. Men doing these things were useless and would be laughed at.

I gave her a thumbs up.

Gradually, she complained more. I would reply to her every two or three days.

I answered her in a perfunctory manner. Then she didn't chat with me much anymore.

"In this life, she can't gain any emotional value from me again."

I kept my distance from Aleah deliberately, fearing that I would be implicated once an accident happened.

I vaguely noticed that Jessa seemed to be distancing herself from Aleah as well.

Normally, she didn't reply to any of Aleah's messages from the group chat.

"It's good for her to stay away from these people who tend to play like saints and who are obsessed with love."

In my previous life, when I was murdered, she was the only one shouting for security, calling the police, and calling 911.

In this life, I just hoped that when these people, who tended to play like saints and who were obsessed with love, died, Jessa and I wouldn't be implicated.
