Chapter 165 Grown Up

Even though Lin Cong burst into tears, Lin Qiu remained unmoved.

She took a tissue and handed it to Lin Cong, "Wipe your tears and continue playing games."

When Lin Cong heard her aunt's ruthless answer, her sad tears kept flowing and she couldn't wipe them away.

The few little ones who were lying at the door and peeking, looked at me and I looked at you, with sympathy for Lin Cong in our eyes.

My little brother/older brother, this is too pitiful!

Lin Qiu pretended not to hear the noise at the door, like a devil, "Congcong, move faster, don't you like playing online games the most?"

Lin Cong cried with snot and tears, "I don't like playing games anymore."

Lin Qiu took a tissue and blew his nose clean. "Why wouldn't you like it? Aren't you pretending to be sick to play games?"

"Aunt, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you."

"It doesn't matter if you lied to me. Come on, continue playing the game. We said we'd have fun all day."

Facing his aunt's urging, Lin Bin tried to hide back, "I don't want to play games anymore. I won't play games anymore! Wah wah wah..."

"Don't you always play games secretly when you stay up late at night? Can't you play openly now?"

Lin Cong cried so hard that he couldn't speak, and shook his head until tears came out.

"Will you lie again in the future?" Lin Qiu stared into his eyes.

Lin Cong continued to shake his head, "I won't lie anymore."

"Are you still sneaking in here to play computer games at night?"

"Never again!"

"Then wipe your tears and go out and drink some water." Lin Qiu put the tissue in his hand.

Lin Cong wiped his tears while sobbing, his eyes and nose were red from crying.

After wiping his face clean, Lin Qiu led him out of the bedroom.

The whole family, young and old, gathered around quickly.

Seeing everyone's concerned eyes, Lin Cong lowered his head in shame.

It was all because of me that everyone was awake.

"Go drink some water!" Lin Qiu gently pushed him.

After crying for so long, your body must be dehydrated.

Lin Cong picked up the cup and drank the water in big gulps.

"You little ones come here!" Lin Qiu sat on the sofa and waved to them.

A few little ones walked over obediently and stood in a row, just like little poplars.

"You have seen the example of Congcong. This year, since it was his first time, I will give him a lighter punishment. But if he does it again or you want to try it, I will not let you go just because you cry!"

Lin Qiu's eyes wandered over them, and his stern words were loud and clear.

The little poplars all shook their heads.

"I know you like playing online games, but you can play them, but you have to know your limits. How can you stay up late at night and lie to others just to play games?"

At this point, Lin Qiu's gaze happened to fall on Lin Cong, and Lin Cong trembled with fear.

"Have you ever thought about this: if you are obsessed with playing games, can you still concentrate on studying? Moreover, if you sit in front of the computer all day, will your eyes and body still be in good condition?"

"In that case, are you playing the game or are you being played by the game? Think about it for yourself."

Lin Qiu's words hit their hearts like a heavy hammer.

Since that night, the younger ones in the family have consciously put a rein on themselves. Not only do they strictly follow the daily schedule, they even work harder in their studies and have never been overly addicted to online games again.

…

The summer vacation passed quietly as a group of children were reluctant to leave.

After the summer vacation, Wang Shan officially became a freshman in the elite class of the first grade of Baoan Middle School.

That afternoon, Lin Qiu was watering the green ivy in the Internet cafe when he suddenly received a call from Huang Xinxin.

"Aunt!"

Huang Xinxin's breathless voice came from the other end of the phone, "Shanshan is here and her pants are soiled. Please send a pair of pants over quickly!"

Lin Qiu listened to Huang Xinxin's increasingly quiet voice and was unable to react for a moment, "Who's coming?"

"That's it!" Huang Xinxin was a little anxious, but she deliberately lowered her voice, "Hurry up and send the pants to school!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Only then did Lin Qiu realize that his daughter had grown up.

Lin Qiu didn't dare to delay any longer. He said something to sister-in-law Zhong Hua and Xiao Han, who worked part-time, and rushed home without stopping.

He took his pants and shirt, stuffed a sanitary napkin and a pack of tissues into his trouser pocket, ran out of the community, hailed a taxi and rushed to the entrance of the junior high school department of Baoan Middle School.

After getting off the bus, Lin Qiu ran towards the classroom against the crowd of people leaving school. From a distance, he saw Huang Xinxin looking anxiously at the classroom door.

"Auntie! Shanshan is in the classroom!"

Huang Xinxin went to greet Lin Qiu when she saw him.

"Xinxin, thank you so much." Lin Qiu turned his head and thanked her while walking quickly.

"That's what I should do! Shanshan and I are good friends."

When Lin Qiu walked into the classroom, he found his daughter lying on the table, not sure whether she had a stomachache or was embarrassed.

"Shanshan." Lin Qiu knocked on the desk.

"Mom! You're finally here!"

Hearing his daughter's crying voice, Lin Qiu touched her head and said softly: "It's okay, this means you have grown up, we just need to change the pants."

Wang Shan nodded with red eyes.

God knows how panicked she felt when she realized something was wrong with her stomach and pants.

She remembered that her mother had talked to her about menstruation, so she quickly called Huang Xinxin over and asked her to help call home.

Lin Qiu was just thankful that Huang Xinxin was in the same class as her daughter, otherwise, as a girl as thin-skinned as paper, she would have been so scared when she encountered such an embarrassing thing for the first time at school.

She tied the shirt around Wang Shan's waist and handed her the pants. "The things are in your pockets. Go to the bathroom and change."

Wang Shan took the pants, lowered her head and rushed to the toilet.

Huang Xinxin also hurriedly followed.

Lin Qiu took the opportunity to wipe the chair clean and walked to the toilet clutching the dirty tissue.

She threw away the garbage and washed her hands, then Wang Shan changed her pants and came out.

"Here, give me your pants, you and Xinxin go pack your schoolbags!"

Wang Shan refused. She rolled up her pants, took them to the classroom, stuffed them into her schoolbag, and then the three of them walked out of the school side by side.

After returning home, Wang Shan soaked her pants somewhat shyly and went to do her homework.

When she finished her homework, she found that her mother had already washed her pants.

"Mom, let me wash it myself next time!" Wang Shan took her mother's arm and leaned on her shoulder.

"Little Ha Bao, are you still thinking about next time?" Lin Qiu gently patted his daughter's hand, "What would you do if Xinxin wasn't here?"

Wang Shan rubbed her head against her mother's neck. "Then I will ask my classmates to help call you, but I will be embarrassed in class in the future."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. All girls go through this. It's a sign of growing up."
