"So... has yours come yet?" Xia Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.
"Yeah, it came a long time ago, it’s no big deal!" Xu Qingfan lied without batting an eye.
"The teacher said that after getting your period, you grow taller very quickly, so how come you’re still so short, Xu Qingfan? You’re not going to stop growing, are you?" Xia Xiaoxiao’s barely stifled laughter echoed from the bathroom.
Xu Qingfan’s face darkened, and he really wanted to kick the door open and smack her butt.
"Wait here, I’ll go to my mom’s room and find you a pad." Xu Qingfan pursed his lips and turned to leave.
His mom usually hung the pads in a black cloth bag, dividing them into day and night use types.
Thanks to his past life’s Xia Xiaoxiao’s luck, he could actually distinguish between them, day-use ones being generally shorter, around 190-250mm, while night-use pads were about twice that length, typically 250-450mm.
After he pulled out an open day-use one, he put everything back in its place and turned to leave the room.
Wu Lingyu was standing at the bathroom door, looking as if she had already brought in some clean clothes.
"Open up, I’ve brought you a pad." Xu Qingfan twisted the doorknob and called out.
"Xu Qingfan, can you not be so creepy!" Xia Xiaoxiao’s face heated up at his words, and Wu Lingyu wasn’t faring much better either.
Xia Xiaoxiao opened the door a crack and reached out her hand, Xu Qingfan handed over the pad, "When you used to cough and cough and it hit my face…"
"Xu Qingfan!!!" There was a third party present, and Xia Xiaoxiao was dead set against letting anyone besides Xu Qingfan know about that incident.
"Brother Fan, what are you guys talking about?" Wu Lingyu felt they were discussing something she couldn’t understand and wanted to join in.
"It’s nothing, Yu, could you help me fetch a pair of trousers from my room? I accidentally got them wet."
After hearing the footsteps fade away, Xia Xiaoxiao spoke harshly, "If you dare to tell anyone about what happened when we were little, I... I... I..."
"What are you going to do?" Xu Qingfan leaned against the door, smirking, knowing full well Xia Xiaoxiao’s secret was his to savor for a lifetime.
"I… I’ll tell Aunt Yao you bullied me!" Xia Xiaoxiao spoke like a deflated balloon, weakly mustering her threat.
"Alright, alright. I won’t say anything, happy now?"
"You swear, Xu Qingfan, if you dare talk, may your instant noodles come without seasoning packets!"
"Damn! Xia Xiaoxiao, you’re so cruel!"
"Hurry up and swear, otherwise, I’ll tell Aunt Yao!"
He chuckled and shook his head, "Fine, fine, fine. If I, Xu Qingfan, dare to tell anyone about the time Xia Xiaoxiao threw her underwear at my head when we were little, I’ll eat... Yu! When did you get here!"
"Ah!" Xia Xiaoxiao bellowed in genuine fright, shrieking like a pig.
"Just kidding, you silly dog, hahaha~"
After making the poison oath, Wu Lingyu returned shortly.
They waited at the bathroom door for Xia Xiaoxiao for about seven or eight minutes without seeing the girl come out, Xu Qingfan couldn’t help but ask, "You don’t know how to use the pad, do you?"
"You know how!" Xia Xiaoxiao, fiddling with the pad, couldn’t help but complain.
"So stupid, you tear it open, the sticky side goes on your underwear, the longer end wraps around the back, don’t stick it wrong, and come out for dinner once you’re done!"
Xia Xiaoxiao’s face was burning up, and she did as told; it didn’t take long for her to figure it out and open the bathroom door.
"Creep!" Seeing Xu Qingfan still standing at the door, Xia Xiaoxiao dodged like she saw a ghost.
"Brother Fan, you sure know a lot!" Wu Lingyu cradled her hot cheeks, unable to resist commenting.
"You should change pads every two hours, otherwise, it can lead to the growth of bacteria." Xu Qingfan waved his hand and walked into the kitchen to continue cooking.
There was no helping it, who would have thought that short videos in his past life would make him inadvertently accumulate such bizarre knowledge.
The two girls watched him go, utterly shocked by his extensive knowledge.
