The inpatient ward was extremely quiet at night.
Outside in the corridor, the occasional sound of footsteps from the nurses on duty could be heard.
Shen Xu's expression was completely bewildered.
A heart, like a tangled mess of hemp.
It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, suffocating him so much that he could hardly breathe.
"Even if you've never had a girlfriend, you must have watched porn, right?" Receiving no response from Shen Xu, Ning Yanshu continued, "They all say it's very pleasurable..."
"...Who said that?"
In the pitch-black room, Chen Xu's voice was strained.
It seemed like a warning before a storm.
Ning Yanshu shrank back fearfully, hesitatingly saying, "It's... it's Wang Zihao and the others... and the boys around them, they always talk about these things when they get together..."
Teenagers undergo tremendous changes, both physically and mentally, during puberty.
They are troubled by their physical development and also develop vague feelings of love and attraction towards the opposite sex.
However, the government's guidance on sex education is always subtle and tinged with a sense of inexplicable shame.
This has led to a growing number of teenagers being ignorant about sex and love.
At this point, guidance from family and parents becomes a crucial step.
Sensing Ning Yanshu's unease about his emotional changes, Shen Xu steadied himself and said calmly, "Third Brother, I'll go ask. We can't do anything dangerous."
Ning Yanshu understood the meaning behind Shen Xu's words.
However, he felt somewhat embarrassed to specifically seek advice from Shen Fu on such a matter.
His greatest understanding of the relationship between the sexes comes from the concept of the little seed and the little house that Teacher Yuzu told him when he was a child.
But seeing that Shen Xu was really angry, Ning Yanshu had no choice but to give up the urge to continue asking questions.
Silence fell over the ward once again.
Shen Xu thought to himself, "This time I can finally get a good night's sleep, right?"
He tried to clear his mind of all the jumbled thoughts, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing.
But the person in the hospital bed kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Just as Shen Xu was counting the 455th sheep, Ning Yanshu's pitiful voice came from behind.
"...Shen Xu, I need to go to the toilet."
...
The lights in the ward were turned on.
Shen Xu helped Ning Yanshu to the restroom.
Ning Yanshu stood in front of the toilet, staring wide-eyed at Shen Xu.
His right hand was in a cast, and his left hand had an IV catheter, so he dared not exert any force.
Shen Xu sighed and closed his eyes as if facing death.
He raised his hand and groped around, trying to take off Ning Yanshu's pants.
He accidentally touched her waist, causing Ning Yanshu to burst into laughter: "It tickles so much... Don't tickle my waist, I'm so ticklish."
After several unsuccessful attempts, sweat began to bead on Shen Xu's forehead.
He suppressed the tremor in his heart and said fiercely, "It itches, hold it in!"
Ning Yanshu pouted, instantly looking aggrieved: "Shen Xu, you're mean to me! ...You never used to be mean to me when we were little! You've changed!"
"I don't……"
Shen Xu opened his eyes in a panic, wanting to explain.
But then Ning Yanshu's ambiguous smile came into view.
Upon realizing he had been tricked, he couldn't tell whether he should be angry or relieved.
Seeing this, Ning Yanshu stopped bothering him.
He offered, "No need to close your eyes, just take them off. We're all boys, what's the big deal? Besides, we used to bathe together a lot when we were kids."
Shen Xu really wanted to answer him, saying that things are different now than when he was a child.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it.
He turned his head, used his peripheral vision to find the position of his belt, and took it off with trembling hands.
Shen Xu turned his back to the wall.
The sound of water pattering in my ears.
Shen Xu blushed deeply.
He urged, "Are you done yet? Hurry up..."
"Wait a minute," Ning Yanshu replied. "My mom forced me to drink a whole bowl of lean meat soup and millet porridge tonight... I've been holding back for so long."
A few minutes later, Ning Yanshu's words, "It's all done," made Shen Xu feel as if he had been granted a pardon.
He wanted to quickly put his pants on for him, just like he had done.
Ning Yanshu stopped him, saying, "Wait, wait..."
Shen Xu stared at him in disbelief, somewhat doubting his own ears.
"Otherwise, it'll be really uncomfortable if it gets stuck in my underwear." Ning Yanshu asked pitifully, "Can't I?..."
Shen Xu gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
He prepared himself mentally and pressed on with full force.
Then, he took Ning Yanshu's hand and led her to the pool, where he frantically washed her clean.
Seeing Shen Xu's red and puffed-up cheeks from anger, Ning Yanshu thought he looked quite cute.
However, he dared not cause any more trouble.
Ning Yanshu lay back on the hospital bed, closed her eyes, and obediently went to sleep.
However, this time, no matter how much he tossed and turned, he couldn't fall asleep, and instead, he fell into a deep sleep.
He closed his eyes, but the image in his mind wouldn't leave him...
...
The next day, when Ning Wan brought him food, she noticed the dark circles under Shen Xu's eyes and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Did you not sleep well in the hospital?"
"How about Aman takes over the night watch tonight, and you go home and rest for the night?"
Shen Xu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally shook his head.
Seeing that he insisted, Ning Wan did not try to dissuade him further.
Chen Fu is busy with his work at Ningfeng Enterprise and doesn't have much time to spend in the hospital.
Moreover, given Shen Xu's current level of learning, he can also tutor Ning Yanshu during his hospitalization, so she won't fall too far behind.
In Ning Wan's view, it's a good thing that the two children have a good relationship and are willing to be close.
