Chapter 251
She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but the faint scent of lavender laundry detergent on her pillow made her eyelids start to droop.
Outside the curtain.
Su Qingbai did his homework under a small lamp. After finishing, he put down his pen and gently called out, "Sister, are you asleep?"
There was no response; it seemed she was asleep.
He smiled slightly, stood up, quietly tidied the table, and walked towards the bathroom.
After showering, steam swirled and created a light mist on the bathroom glass.
He draped the white towel he used to dry his hair over his shoulder, squatted down, and began picking up the dirty clothes from the basket and stuffing them into the washing machine.
The water droplets, not yet dried, slid down his collarbone and into his cotton T-shirt. As he stuffed them in, something felt off. Looking at the underwear in his hand, his face flushed bright red.
He shoved the clothes in his hands into the washing machine, but then stopped, remembering that his underwear needed to be washed separately.
His face not only turned red, but it was also incredibly red.
"This...this...this..." he thought, "This can't be blamed on him."
Looking back on the girls he had met in the past, they asked him to do odd jobs that required physical strength, such as moving things and running errands.
He had never lived with a woman before and had absolutely no experience taking care of a girl.
So I didn't know I needed to prepare these kinds of things.
After blushing, Su Qingbai began to feel annoyed, blaming himself for not being more careful.
But what should we do now?
I can't buy my sister underwear tomorrow because she has to go to school, and she's not wearing anything underneath. Can I go out and buy some myself?
He stood in the bathroom looking out onto the balcony. It was autumn, and although it wasn't as hot as summer, the wind was strong at night.
If you wash it now, it will definitely be dry by tomorrow morning.
But... but...
His face was full of conflict and regret. He should have listened to Qu Xing and bought a washing machine with a dryer.
*********
The washing machine was tucked away in the corner, its drum turning slowly and quietly.
Su Qingbai gripped the doorknob and slowly backed out. When her gaze fell on the dripping women's underwear hanging on the balcony, she quickly pulled back as if she had been electrocuted, her face turning bright red as she slammed the bathroom door shut.
He turned off the light and lay down on the floor. "Goodnight, sister."
Jiang You was awakened by a hurried voice, a trembling voice with panic at the end:
"Oh no... my alarm didn't go off! I forgot to charge my phone yesterday, I'm going to be late!!!"
She drew back the curtain made of bed sheets.
Su Qingbai hurriedly put on her clothes, her soft, fine brown hair was messy, with several strands sticking up stubbornly.
He ran his hands through his hair, searching for something, muttering incoherently, "I clearly put it here yesterday, where is it...?"
The tuft of hair sticking up on her forehead swayed back and forth with her movements, giving her a slightly goofy and adorable look.
Just then, the boy, who was on the verge of a breakdown while searching for something, met her gaze, and his boisterous movements stopped abruptly.
The surroundings became quiet.
He seemed dumbfounded, staring at her blankly with wide, doe-like eyes.
After a long while, he said in a low, hesitant voice, "I'm not usually like this."
I always try to present my sister with a reliable and steady image, but I always end up making mistakes.
He: ╥﹏╥
Seeing that Xiaobai was about to cry, Jiang You said, "I know you are very reliable."
"Sister, you don't need to comfort me."
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
Jiang You reminded him, "You seem to be late."
Su Qingbai: "!!!"
