After being rejected several times by Gu Yuan, Xue Jiayu decided not to go there anymore.
She sat in the Zhan family's living room, turning on the air conditioner and complaining angrily.
"Even if you don't want to come out to play, you should give us a reason. What do you mean by don't come if you don't want to go? Gu Yuan is too much!"
After saying that, Xue Jiayu scooped a big spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and as if it was not enough, she wanted to turn on the fan.
But he was stopped by Zhan Nanqi.
"Xue Jiayu, you turned on the air conditioner, the fan, and ate ice cream. Do you want to have diarrhea today?"
Xue Jiayu stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Nanqi, you didn't care about these things before, why are you suddenly caring about me now?"
Zhan Nanqi glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to be controlled, just get out of my house."
"don't want."
Xue Jiayu lay on the ground, the cool bamboo mat against her skin, and she closed her eyes happily.
"I don't want to go out. My grandma won't let me keep the air conditioner on when I get home."
Xu Suzhen is used to being frugal. She has spent most of her life in the countryside. When it is hottest, she just turns on the fan. She always complains about the waste when her children turn on the air conditioner all day at home.
Although Jiang Qiuyi and Xue Wangjun have told her many times, it is not so easy to change a habit of a lifetime.
What's more, Xue Jiayu felt that Xu Suzhen did nothing wrong in this matter. Frugality is a virtue, but they just have to endure a little bit of injustice.
Xue Huanyu glanced at Xue Jiayu and then at Zhan Nanqi, and sat carefully next to the sofa, ready to stand up and leave at any time.
She would never be able to come and go freely in the Zhan family like Xue Jiayu, or act like a spoiled child with Zhan Nanqi like she did.
Xue Jiayu didn't turn on the air conditioner, but still wanted to secretly get another popsicle to eat.
Zhan Nanqi turned a blind eye to her behavior. He didn't like sweet things, and the popsicles in the refrigerator were originally bought for Xue Jiayu.
At night, when Jiang Qiuyu was about to come back, Xue Jiayu reluctantly stood up from the carpet.
But as soon as she stood up, she suddenly squatted down, holding her stomach, with a painful and distorted expression.
"Hiss—Brother Nanqi, my stomach hurts!"
Zhan Nanqi squatted down immediately, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, but my stomach hurts."
Xue Jiayu grabbed Zhan Nanqi's arm, her fingers turning white from the force, and she kept sucking in cold air.
“It hurts so much!”
Xue Huanyu stood aside, at a loss, "Brother Nanqi, should I go find the adults? I'm going back to find my mother!"
"kindness."
Xue Huanyu ran home immediately, while Zhan Nanqi called Jiang Peirong.
"mom--"
Jiang Peirong was applying a facial mask upstairs when she heard her son yelling. He ran downstairs without even having time to wash off the mask.
"What's wrong son?!"
"Jiayu has a stomachache."
Jiang Peirong was stunned and hurried to see Xue Jiayu.
"Xiaobao, what's wrong with you?"
"Aunt Jiang, my stomach hurts."
Xue Jiayu kept taking a deep breath, "Am I going to die?"
"Silly, stop talking nonsense and stand up for Aunt Jiang to see."
Jiang Peirong helped her up and was surprised to see a bright red spot on her pants. She instantly understood why she felt uncomfortable.
"Ahem, Nanqi, let go. Mom will take Jiayu upstairs."
Zhan Nanqi looked at her in confusion, "Not going to the hospital?"
"Jiayu doesn't need to go to the hospital in this condition."
Jiang Peirong pushed him away and said, "Just stand downstairs and don't come up. Wait until mom says it's okay before you come up."
"oh."
Zhan Nanqi didn't understand why it was so mysterious, but judging from his mother's reaction, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Xue Jiayu followed Jiang Peirong upstairs, speaking in a tearful voice.
"Aunt Jiang, I'm dying."
"Silly boy, you're not dying, you're just turning into a big girl."
Jiang Peirong smiled and found some clean clothes from the closet for her to wear.
"Just sit here first. Auntie will make you some brown sugar water and get you some toilet paper. Your mother is not at home, so Auntie will teach you how to do it first."
Xue Jiayu sat in the bed in a daze. Was she having her first period? And in front of Zhan Nanqi.
She couldn't help but bury herself in the quilt in annoyance.
Jiang Peirong's bed smelled very good, and it was made of high-quality velvet bedding. Xue Jiayu felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and soon fell asleep on it.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by Jiang Peirong.
"Xiaobao, get up and drink some brown sugar water. You also need to eat this egg."
Xue Jiayu pinched her nose, "What is this? It stinks!"
"It's good for your body, dear, just close your eyes and eat it."
Jiang Peirong coaxed Xue Jiayu for a long time before she ate reluctantly.
After eating, Jiang Peirong asked Xue Jiayu to sleep for a while and wait for Jiang Qiuyu to come back before going back.
She stayed by her side, and Xue Jiayu blushed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
If Jiang Peirong hadn't been here today, she would have been extremely panicked.
"It's okay. I'm very happy to be able to help your aunt." Jiang Peirong touched her head and tucked her in. "And today was the first time that Nan Qi yelled at home. I thought it was magical."
Xue Jiayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was magical.
Unable to resist the physical fatigue, Xue Jiayu soon fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, Jiang Qiuyu was standing next to her.
"Xiaobao, mom is here."
Jiang Qiuyi lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, "My baby, you are growing up."
Xue Jiayu blushed and started to act coquettishly unconsciously: "Mom, my stomach hurts."
"It's normal. No girl wouldn't feel pain at this time. Be good, I'll let Dad come and carry you back."
“No!”
Xue Jiayu shyly crawled into the quilt, "My legs are not broken, why do I need my dad to carry me?"
"Be good, you can't be blown by the wind now. I'll ask Dad to bring a coat over."
When Xue Wangjun learned that his baby daughter had her first period, he took it very seriously and came over with his coat.
"Come on, Xiaobao, Dad will carry you back."
Xue Jiayu couldn't persuade him and finally could only lie on his back.
When she passed by Zhan Nanqi, she was too embarrassed to look at him.
Zhan Aoxiang had just come back from get off work. Seeing such a big scene, he asked curiously, "What happened to Jiayu? Is she injured?"
"Lao Zhan, shut up!"
Jiang Peirong glared at him, then smiled and said to Xue Jiayu, "Uncle Zhan is a man of few words, don't be angry. Go back and have a rest."
Zhan Aoxiang was scolded by his wife for no reason, but he didn't dare to talk back and just touched his nose.
After returning to Xue's house, Xue Wangjun carried her back to her room and brought her a lot of delicious food.
"Xiaobao, do you want to eat cake? Daddy will go out and buy it for you."
Xue Jiayu glanced at the dark sky and said, "Dad, what time is it? Why are you still going out? I don't want to eat anymore."
"Then do you want something to drink? Daddy will make it for you, milk or cereal?"
"I don't want it."
Xue Wangjun wanted to say something else but was kicked out by Jiang Qiuyu.
"Don't you know that what your daughter needs most right now is a good rest? Get out!"
"Okay, okay, Xiaobao, if you want anything, just call daddy!"
