From that day on, Qi Siling stopped participating in the construction of No. 10 Huada Street and focused solely on his studies. He would even audit economics classes when he had free time. He made rapid progress, studying even harder than Xiao Hai, a serious economics student.
Xia Youyou attended the rigorous classes attentively, and during the practical classes, she worked on her graduation project with Qi Siling.
Yan Ke knew the abilities of the two and had submitted the materials for skipping grades. He was just waiting for a clear result from the principal.
The building at No. 10 Huada Street was completed a month later, and all that remained was renovations. The materials had already been ordered from the manufacturer, and the original crew remained, with Anhai Company's own construction team also doing the construction and renovations. Xia Youyou chuckled, "We still don't have enough people!"
Looking at the five-story building rising from the ground, several families living nearby said it was impossible not to be envious, but they did not have the money to build a high-rise building at home, so they could only watch.
At first, Cao An and the construction team didn't notice anything unusual; they were all focused on their studies. Over the past month, everyone had made rapid progress. Besides practical classes, Xia Youyou also tutored them in foreign languages in the evenings, and they also studied the rest of the course independently.
Xia Youyou was like a tutor, fully responsible for their studies. This made her more diligent, and even Cao An stopped complaining about her staying in bed.
When they learned that the two had returned in a flying vehicle, Cao An and Xiao Hai pestered her to fly again. However, the small aircraft could only seat two people, and there were larger ones in Qi Siling's space, but they were too loud and unsuitable for this area. So they gave up and decided to think about it later.
Early in the morning of early summer, Xia Youyou was awakened by the dazzling morning light. She curled up like a shrimp and was held in Qi Siling's arms, with her waist and back pressed against him.
It was strange that they both particularly liked this position. Xia Youyou felt like a baby, being completely embraced by him, and this feeling made her very comfortable.
Qi Siling had coaxed her to sleep last night, then gone to the study to continue studying. He didn't return to sleep until very late. He was sound asleep now, and hadn't expected Xia Youyou to wake up before him. He felt the person in his arms shift, thinking she was feeling the heat again, like she had a few days ago, and was about to push him away. So he tightened his hand around her neck, holding her back, and with his other hand, he placed his hand on her breasts, massaging them.
Xia Youyou hissed as he pinched her in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"You pinched me and asked me what was wrong!" I didn't expect him to be confused sometimes. I looked back at the head arched on my neck and pulled away his hand that was resting on my chest. "Let me go, I need to go to the bathroom."
Qi Siling finally opened his hazy eyes and watched her sleepily as she stood up from his arms, then moved to the edge of the bed and stood up.
He glanced out the window. It seemed still early. The sun rose early in early summer. Today was Sunday, and Hua University had a holiday on Sundays, so he could take a break. Suddenly, he was dazzled by a red light and then covered up. Only then did he wake up.
I lifted the quilt to check and realized why she was so sensitive just now. She cried out in pain when I pinched her lightly.
"Be good, your pants are dirty." Qi Siling got up from the quilt, picked her up by the waist after she had just put on her pajamas, opened the door and went to the bathroom.
Liu Hui had already gone downstairs to run the breakfast business, and Cao An and Xiao Hai were probably also over there to check on the renovations, so there were only two of them at home.
He held her and cleaned her body before returning to bed.
As soon as Xia Youyou got up, she knew something was wrong. She stood there in a daze, not daring to move. When he found her and picked her up, she simply asked him for help.
There's no way around it. Her period every month is like an avalanche, painful and heavy. This isn't a disease that can be fixed with just any pill.
Lying back on the replaced mattress, she snuggled tightly in the man's arms, absorbing his body warmth.
Qi Siling held her little face lovingly, sucking her soft lips and kissing her. When she woke up just now, her back was facing him, so he didn't notice her pale little face in time. He only noticed it when he picked her up.
Xia Youyou groaned, her hands pressed against his chest, letting him do what he wanted. Her lower abdomen felt relieved by his warm palm, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again, comforted by him.
It was a day off today, and he didn't need to go over there to check on the project. He propped himself up slightly, sat up to make sure she was comfortable against him, and then took out his book to study.
Liu Hui came upstairs and knocked on the door, and he replied softly, "Mom, what's wrong?" He covered her ears with his big hands to avoid waking her up.
"Are you still not awake?" Liu Hui heard the noise inside and Qi Siling's cautious voice, and she knew that the girl was probably staying in bed again.
"She's asleep." Qi Siling carefully put her down, got up, dressed, and went to open the door. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Liu Hui peeked at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed with a look of disapproval on her face.
Qi Siling quickly explained, "Youyou is having her period, I asked her to sleep a little longer."
Liu Hui finally understood, and she felt relieved to see her sleeping. This girl always felt like a soft bone when she had her period, painful and weak, and could only lie down to sleep.
The two of them closed the door and stood in the main room on the second floor to talk. "Anzi went over there to check and found that a lot of things were missing. Let me ask you to go check it out with me."
Qi Siling frowned. What did he mean by "a lot of things are missing"? He nodded, reopened the door, and glanced at Xia Youyou on the bed. "Mom, please keep an eye on her for me. Put a hot water bottle under her quilt. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep because of the pain." Only by warming her lower abdomen could the pain be relieved.
"Mom knows, don't worry." Liu Hui was happy. Her daughter was being treated like a treasure. What else could she be dissatisfied with? She patted his arm and said, "Go, leave it to me."
"Thank you, Mom." Qi Siling curled her lips and nodded, straightened her clothes, and then went downstairs.
When Cao An and Xiao Hai saw him coming, they talked about their discovery in the morning.
"Uncle Wang said this morning that some materials were missing, but we confirmed the number was correct when we unloaded the goods a few days ago. I don't know how it suddenly became missing." Xiao Hai had been watching the incoming and unloading of goods, and he was very puzzled when the number suddenly became wrong.
Upon hearing this, Qi Siling frowned and looked at Cao An, "What did you say, brother?"
Cao Na leaned against the door frame and looked at the pile of materials. "No one was watching at night. I guess someone took it away then."
Several people looked at the place where even the door panels had been stolen and said in unison: "It's not just one person!"
If it was just one person, it would be impossible to move such a large door panel without making any noise!
Cao An told Uncle Wang to continue pretending he didn't know and to do what he had to do, and he would find a way. So the others helped without making any noise, and didn't show anything unusual.
On his way back, Qi Siling glanced around the area. Aside from a few neighbors looking at him with a hint of envy, nothing seemed out of place. That's just how it is these days: if you're poor, they look down on you; if you're rich, they envy you, and if they don't like you, they'll even report you.
