After a brief pause, Chen Bing recovered from her surprise.
To clear his and Shang Yunmiao's names, and to correct Liu Xiaoxiao's strange thinking, Chen Bing adopted the posture of an older brother and righteously refuted Liu Xiaoxiao, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just a child, spouting nonsense."
Although Chen Bing's tone was quite stern and he adopted a very authoritative older brother demeanor, Liu Xiaoxiao was not easily intimidated. She immediately frowned and asked with a strange expression, "Then what is Sister Miao doing in your room so late?"
I'm speechless. You've been reading too many old-school romance novels, haven't you? So every girl who goes to the male lead's room in the middle of the night is there for *that* thing? Couldn't she be there to play Ludo?
Those kinds of suggestive things are all fabricated by authors to satisfy readers' strange fantasies. Besides, look at my age! In the context of online novels, have you ever seen a kid my age doing that kind of thing? If an author actually wrote that, they'd definitely get banned, you know that?
Faced with Liu Xiaoxiao's ignorance, Chen Bing immediately continued, "If you're close to her, can't you just say hello before bed? Besides, it's only two or three minutes, what can you possibly do in that time? Don't overthink it, you silly child."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao was somewhat convinced and felt that there was some truth to it. Based on her limited knowledge gleaned from the internet, even disregarding things like "all night" or "once a time," it should at least last for one or two hours.
In two or three minutes, it seems that nothing can really be done.
So, it turns out I was just misunderstanding things; I was just imagining things...
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and her expression became awkward.
Seeing the change in the other person's expression, Chen Bing knew that her explanation had convinced her and the misunderstanding had been cleared up. However, Chen Bing hadn't really expected that Liu Xiaoxiao would figure it out through the absurd duration.
It can only be said that Chinese parents and Chinese education are still too feudal and conservative when it comes to sex education, and Chen Bing expresses her deep condemnation of this.
With the advent of the internet age, if children are not given proper sex education in a timely manner, they are very likely to go astray and harm themselves.
Sex has never been something to be ashamed of, much less a monster. Yet, the vast majority of Chinese people are "afraid to talk about sex," which inevitably leads many teenagers astray.
It's a story told in a humorous way, but it also reflects the lack of sex education to some extent.
The story goes like this.
A fifth or sixth grader was sitting in the classroom during recess when his buttocks suddenly started bleeding.
The other students were terrified, thinking that the person was injured or something, but the person calmly explained to them that this was something that people would experience during puberty, such as menstruation or periods, and spent a long time explaining it.
After a while, the homeroom teacher came and took a look, then said, "Boys don't have that kind of thing. Go to the hospital to get it checked out."
See, this is what happens when sex education is lacking.
Thinking about this, Chen Bing couldn't help but wonder about the extent of Shang Yunmiao's knowledge in this area.
Although the little girl acted very innocent and naive in front of him, in the internet age, it's hard for anyone else to guess how much she actually knew, even if she didn't say it.
For example, Liu Xiaoxiao, who would have thought that a twelve-year-old girl who had just started junior high school would know these things?
It seems necessary to find some time to specifically educate young business students... on business...
Forget it!
The child will find out sooner or later. If I take the initiative to talk to her about these things, wouldn't I look like a weirdo?
Mr. Chen, who was just lamenting the lack of sex education in China, has now transformed into a staunch anti-establishment figure standing on the opposite side of the times—Old Master Chen.
It can only be said that if everyone stands on a moral high ground and talks grandly, then everyone is a gentleman. But when it comes to putting it into practice, everyone will find excuses to absolve themselves.
Tragedy—that's the weakness of human nature.
Returning to Chen Bing and Liu Xiaoxiao, after each going through some internal monologues, Liu Xiaoxiao spoke first.
To ease her embarrassment, she forced herself to remain calm and asked Chen Bing, "Then, you two aren't exactly innocent either, are you? Running into a room in the middle of the night, saying you're playing Ludo, I don't believe it."
Yeah, I don't believe it either. But how am I supposed to explain it to you? I have no idea why Xiao Shang would come here in the middle of the night.
Thinking of all this, Chen Bing opened her mouth and stiffened her neck, wanting to defend herself but not knowing what to say.
"Just, just saying hello before going to bed."
"You're lying. If I weren't here, you two would definitely be sleeping together tonight."
"I swear to God, I've never slept with your sister Miao." Chen Bing raised his hand, as if swearing an oath to the heavens. His eyes were firm, and his expression seemed to have suffered a great injustice, making people want to trust him.
[The time we huddled together watching "A Silent Voice" doesn't count; Xiao Shang left immediately after watching it, so we didn't sleep together at all.]
Chen Bing silently added a sentence in his heart, as a way of giving an account to his conscience.
Seeing her brother's sincerity, Liu Xiaoxiao believed him to some extent. However, out of curiosity, she still asked, "Didn't you ever sleep together when you were little?"
To be honest, I have slept in a room before. I remember it was in elementary school, when we were traveling. Because the hotel we found at the last minute didn't have enough rooms, I slept in a room with my two mothers and Xiao Shang. However, I slept on a makeshift bed on the floor by myself.
That's all there is to it, because Master Chen is a respectable man, and he really can't bring himself to trick the naive and innocent Xiao Shang into sleeping with him.
Even when she herself or both sets of parents brought it up, Chen Bing never agreed, to the point that Shang Yunmiao thought several times that he didn't like her anymore.
After quickly recalling these things in his mind, Chen Bing replied to Liu Xiaoxiao in his firm and unquestionable tone: "Really not, we never slept together when we were little."
"Then... we've kissed, right?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked this question in a very soft voice, but her words were exceptionally clear, so much so that Chen Bing could hear her clearly even amidst the torrential rain outside.
Damn it, we really kissed, and it happened just a month ago. Should I lie?
Honestly, why did they have to kiss me a month ago of all? Why did they have to kiss me so early? Now I have to lie, it's all Shang Yunmiao's fault!
Hmm? It seems like I was the one who initiated the kiss?
No, it's also Shang Yunmiao's fault. Who told her to be so cute? She made even a gentleman like me lose control of myself.
