Chapter 130: Realizing the Desire for Each Other for the First Time
Qin Jiahuai pushed open the door of the laundry room and saw Chu Yao sitting in the laundry room with a large basin in front of her. In the basin was the bed sheet with strawberry pattern that her mother had changed for her tonight.
She is washing the sheets.
It was already late autumn in Fengpu and the weather was very cold, but in order to prevent her pajamas from getting wet, she rolled up her sleeves and pants. She rolled her pajamas up to her knees, revealing her slender and white calves.
Qin Jiahuai's eyes fell on her legs uncontrollably, then quickly moved away and asked softly, "Why are you here so late at night..."
Chu Yao was fine at first, but as soon as he asked, her tears welled up.
Qin Jiahuai panicked and quickly squatted down: "What's wrong? Don't cry..."
As soon as he squatted down and approached the basin, he smelled the smell of blood hidden under the lemon-scented laundry detergent.
Qin Jiahuai understood instantly.
It turned out that she was on her period and it got on the sheets.
In fact, their schools don’t teach this.
The changes that boys and girls undergo during puberty all depend on self-exploration based on textbooks.
However, his mother is the director of gynecology, and he has learned a lot of gynecological knowledge from her since he was a child.
He also thought it was normal and nothing at all.
He comforted her softly: "It's just a small matter, it's okay."
Chu Yao didn't want to talk, nor did she want to be seen by him. She lowered her head and rubbed the bloodstains on the sheets bit by bit, with tears falling on the back of her hands.
Qin Jiahuai knew that she was usually very strong, and he couldn't understand why she broke down over such a small thing.
But then I thought about how she pretended to be a quiet girl in front of his mother tonight, and it was obvious that she cared a lot about what his mother thought of her.
So, maybe she felt embarrassed because she thought her mother would blame her?
"It's really nothing. You think it's too serious. Even if you tell my mom directly, she won't think it's a big deal."
Chu Yao was silent.
Qin Jiahuai didn't know what to say for a moment.
He lowered his head and saw that Chu Yao's hands had turned into two different colors.
Above the wrist, the skin was as white as milky porcelain, while below the wrist, it was red from being frozen by the ice water.
"Okay, I'll wash it." Qin Jiahuai reached out and held Chu Yao's wrist.
Sure enough, her hands were very cold.
Chu Yao pulled her hand back and refused decisively: "No."
This is her menstrual blood. She would feel embarrassed to let a female elder wash it, so how could she let a boy wash it?
Qin Jiahuai thought for a moment and said, "Then wash it in the washing machine."
Chu Yao: "No, the washing machine can't clean it."
Qin Jiahuai: "Then wash with hot water."
Chu Yao: "No, blood stains can only be washed out with cold water. Hot water will cause the hemoglobin to coagulate and combine with the cotton fibers, making it impossible to wash off."
Qin Jiahuai: "..."
Why is nothing working?
But it can be seen that she has reviewed biology very well.
She is also very good at housework.
But her hands were very cold, and her face looked strangely pale at night. I guess she hadn't taken good care of herself recently because her grandmother was sick.
He patiently advised: "If you touch the cold water now, it will hurt tomorrow. You don't want to be in so much pain that you can't continue writing during the exam, do you?"
Chu Yao hesitated: "No. Don't worry about me."
Qin Jiahuai: "Okay, you listen to me."
Chu Yao shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want it."
Qin Jiahuai stopped trying to persuade her, stood up and walked out: "Then I'll wake my mother up now."
Chu Yao panicked, immediately stood up, and gently tugged at his clothes: "No, no...Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qin Jiahuai squatted down and started washing the sheets.
He didn't think it was a big deal at all, and there was no excessive expression on his face.
But Chu Yao felt strange in her heart. Her heart was beating uncontrollably, and she had an indescribable burning sensation in her chest, as well as an inexplicable urge.
She actually wanted to hug him, she felt that he was worthy of her support.
She frightened herself so much that she took a step back.
This is utterly awful! What the hell! How is this possible?
Chu Yao quickly dismissed the ridiculous thoughts in her mind.
Thanks to the timely treatment, the sheets were washed quickly.
Qin Jiahuai stood up and took it to the washing machine behind him to wring it dry.
After finishing these things, he turned around and said to Chu Yao: "I'll come over later to hang it up. I'll get you new sheets. You go to sleep first."
As he approached, Chu Yao's whole body shook uncontrollably.
She said nothing and followed him back to the room.
Qin Jiahuai went to the cupboard to get new sheets for her.
After the floor was paved, he turned around and found Chu Yao looking nervous and at a loss.
He thought it was still about the bed sheet and comforted her, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. It won't have any impact on your life."
Chu Yao lowered her head and looked away: "You...you must have never lived under someone else's roof before, so you would say that. When I visited other people's homes before and soiled the sheets, they would give me a cold look."
In fact, she didn't want to talk about this, but she urgently needed a topic to hide the panic in her heart.
Qin Jiahuai asked, "Whose house are you going to?"
Chu Yao was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again, her voice choked: "My mother's house... I stained the sheets, and her parents-in-law gave me a cold look."
This is true, and I remember it when I was very young.
At that time, Cheng Yiyi seemed to be only two or three years old, and her mother's love had not yet been completely transferred to Cheng Yiyi.
Her mother took her in and arranged for her to sleep in Cheng Yiyi's princess room with her.
Cheng Yiyi was playing with her on the bed, and the two of them accidentally knocked over Cheng Yiyi's bottle, spilling it all over the bed, and Cheng Yiyi started crying.
Grandma Cheng walked in first, picked up Cheng Yiyi, and said distressedly: "Did you get burned? Tell grandma."
He glanced at Chu Yao with disgust again, "Did someone splash water on you or burn you on purpose?"
Grandpa Cheng passed by the door and rolled his eyes at her.
When Mr. Cheng heard the crying, he frowned and made a loud and irritable "tsk" sound.
Mom was silent.
The adults in the family reacted differently.
However, no one cursed her or hit her.
But she just felt a strong sense of malice, which made her feel suffocated.
So Qin Jiahuai kept saying "it's just a small matter", and she couldn't convince herself.
She always felt like the sky was falling because she was a guest in someone else's house and dirtied their things.
Qin Jiahuai's personality wasn't yet so outrageous that he would scold everyone. He didn't even have the nerve to directly scold Chu Yao's mother...
I just think this family is too petty.
Even if it's a child from an unfamiliar relative's family, you can't give him or her a cold shoulder for something as trivial as soiling the bed sheets.
What's more, this is their granddaughter's half-blood sister.
He looked down at Chu Yao. She was sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, her whole body exceptionally soft.
This was the first time she showed him her vulnerable side.
She was so little at the time, and was looked down upon in someone else's home. She must have been very confused and at a loss as to what to do.
She certainly doesn't understand that being bullied doesn't mean being beaten or scolded.
Those injustices, indifference, bias, sarcasm... are all bullying.
She had suffered far more while growing up than he imagined.
But she didn't look like someone who was bitter and resentful.
Qin Jiahuai's throat tightened and he subconsciously raised his hand. He didn't know why, but it felt like a force was pulling him closer to her. He wanted to hug her...
But he suddenly thought that they were only seventeen years old, and this was obviously inappropriate.
He immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Go get some sleep. You have an exam tomorrow."
He gave her instructions, turned around and left, gently closing her door.
-
Qin Jiahuai waited until the sheets were washed and hung up, then went back to his room to sleep.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind couldn't help but appear her slender legs, trembling shoulders, and her soft hand holding his hand while watching a movie...
It kept appearing in his mind over and over again, and he couldn't get rid of it.
What’s even more terrifying is that some hidden and shameful desires are slowly taking shape.
Qin Jiahuai had a cold expression on his face. He simply sat up, picked up a test paper from the table, and started doing the questions quickly.
I was clearly doing a physics problem, but suddenly I wrote a line from the poem "Guanju" for no apparent reason:
I can't get what I want, and I think about it day and night.
