Chapter 257 Your pants are dirty.

Qin Xiaoxiao's hesitant and stammering manner, as if she had suffered a great injustice, drew sympathy from the other educated youth, who comforted her for a few words before leaving.

After Su Yun and her sister left, Qin Xiaoxiao closed the door and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Su Zhiyuan and Qin Feng did not return home that night, and it wasn't until noon the next day that the two of them returned to the village exhausted.

Upon learning this, Qin Xiaoxiao immediately ran to the village committee to see Qin Feng.

Qin Feng didn't hide anything and told Qin Xiaoxiao the outcome.

Since Huang Yuan and Zhou Ying both admitted that they were dating, they would not be punished, but they had to get married immediately to quell the negative impact they had on the public.

Neither of them had any objections and quickly agreed.

As for the two burly men, since Zhou Ying vehemently denied any involvement, it was useless for them to say that Zhou Ying had instructed them to do so. Moreover, the two men were not only involved in this case, but also in a murder case. The police had no evidence, and Zhou Ying even claimed that the two men had raped her, posing as the victim. In the end, the police had no choice but to detain the two men and await sentencing, and then release Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan.

However, because their affair has a negative impact, they cannot return for the time being. They need to go to the farm for three months of rehabilitation before they can be released.

Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes after hearing this.

As expected of the female lead, even this couldn't kill her.

Okay, she understood. Next time she'd go even harder; she wanted to see if the female lead's life was really that tough.

That night, after seeing Su Lu off, Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep peacefully, but she woke up in the middle of the night in pain and stared speechlessly at the ceiling.

When was my last period? It was about three or four months ago, I think.

Is it okay that there's been such a long gap between the first and second times?

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there was a long time gap between her previous life and her current life, about half a year before she came back.

Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and slipped into her spatial dimension to tidy herself up.

He threw his dirty clothes into the washing machine, changed into his pajamas from his previous life (which was unusual for him), and didn't go out again. He slept in the space that night.

The next morning, Qin Xiaoxiao took a painkiller first. She didn't plan to go out. She really didn't want to move, so she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and read a book.

Ten minutes later, Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep again and slept until 10 a.m. If Su Lu hadn't come to see her, she could have slept until noon.

Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Qin Xiaoxiao calmly looked at Su Lu, who was grinning foolishly at her.

"I was too tired, so I fell asleep."

After offering a guilty explanation, Qin Xiaoxiao turned her face away.

Su Lu nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I know you're tired, I understand."

Qin Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily and waved her fist, "Don't make me beat you up!"

Su Lu smiled and hugged Qin Xiaoxiao. "If you have the heart, then beat her up. Just be careful when you do it, don't hit her in the face. This is the only face I have left to look at."

This is a plus; if he lost even his face, he was afraid Qin Xiaoxiao would look down on him.

Although he was certain that Qin Xiaoxiao liked him, that didn't stop her from disliking him, so he still had to protect his face and make sure nothing went wrong.

Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't been changed or washed after sleeping for so long, and when Su Lu hugged her, she immediately felt something was wrong and looked at Su Lu with a pained expression.

"Quickly, let me go."

Qin Xiaoxiao's limbs stiffened and she dared not move, and Su Lu immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"What’s wrong with you?"

As soon as Su Lu moved, Qin Xiaoxiao felt something flowing out of her body and helplessly closed her eyes.

"Brother, can you let me go first? I'll talk to you after I'm done cleaning up."

Su Lu didn't move, frowning as he looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, "What's wrong with you? I won't let go until you tell me."

After saying that, he hugged Qin Xiaoxiao tightly.

Qin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, looking at him with a mournful face, "Brother, you really are... Alright, you should try to change your pants. By the way, try to avoid people, I'm afraid they'll laugh at you if they see you."

No, she was afraid that someone would see it and rush to the Su family saying that Su Lu was injured. If that happened... well, she would lose all face.

Su Lu looked completely bewildered. "Why? My pants..."

He wanted to say that his clothes and pants were all in the warehouse and he didn't have them with him, but when he moved away while holding Qin Xiaoxiao, he looked down and couldn't say anything.

He was wearing blue cargo pants today, the first pair he'd bought a few days ago, and today was the first time he'd worn them. But now…

Looking at the bloodstain on her thigh, Su Lu stared speechlessly at Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao's face turned bright red, almost red enough to bleed.

This was the first time Su Lu had ever seen Qin Xiaoxiao so shy, and he immediately became interested.

He put Qin Xiaoxiao back on his lap, reached out and pinched her cheek. "You've dirtied one of my pants. Tell me, how are you going to pay me back?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu in shock.

Do you, a grown man, have to be so petty?

Just wash it if it gets dirty, why do you expect her to pay for it?

This is the boyfriend she found, what a cheapskate!

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I'll buy you one."

Su Lu narrowed his eyes. "No need, a kiss will do."

Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Su Lu, "No, I'll pay for it."

I've got plenty of money; I can afford to pay for a pair of pants. Want a kiss from me? No way! I don't sell myself.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxiao completely forgot how many times this scoundrel of a man had kissed her; one more time wouldn't make a difference.

Su Lu smiled without saying a word, and despite Qin Xiaoxiao's objections, he forced a kiss on her.

After kissing for more than a minute, Qin Xiaoxiao angrily pushed him away, "Su Lu."

Su Lu smiled and nodded, twirling his fingers around Qin Xiaoxiao's loose hair. "Yes, I'm here."

Qin Xiaoxiao had no time to argue with him, so she pushed him away and said, "Get up quickly, or it will be too late."

Su Lu smiled and put Qin Xiaoxiao on the kang (a heated brick bed) to the side. "I'll go get you some hot water to wash up. You can get ready later."

Su Lu went to the kitchen without any concern about the mess. He calmly poured a basin of hot water for Qin Xiaoxiao and brought it into the room. Then he went out to make brown sugar water for Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care that Su Lu was in the kitchen; she was going crazy if she didn't clean up soon.

Carrying Su Lu on his back, he quickly took off his pants, put on new sanitary napkins and sanitary pants, then changed into a pair of cotton pants, cleaned his body, and only then did he feel reborn.

Su Lu politely kept his back to Qin Xiaoxiao while he was busy. Only after Qin Xiaoxiao finished speaking did he bring the brown sugar ginger water into the house.

"Drink it quickly."

He shoved the water tank into Qin Xiaoxiao's hands and hugged her dirty clothes.

Qin Xiaoxiao, who had just taken a sip of water, quickly stopped him, saying, "Put it down. I'll wash it myself in a bit. You should go back and change your pants first."

She wasn't even married yet, so how could she let Su Lu wash her dirty clothes, especially since they weren't ordinary dirty clothes—they were stained with blood?

Su Lu didn't take it seriously. "It's okay, I'll change it later. You're not feeling well, so you can't get it wet."

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

It's not that it can't get wet, it's that it can't get cold water.

Before Qin Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Su Lu quickly left Qin Xiaoxiao's room.

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Her stomach was hurting terribly, so she had no choice but to let him go.
