Toilet paper was already used so sparingly, thrifty use was a necessity. Ling Momo suddenly became anxious about that dirty pair of panties.
She couldn’t just wear them like that, covered in dried blood...
Just thinking about it was gross!
Ling Momo struggled with the thought all day and finally, at night when she thought Li Qingshen was asleep, she hid under the blanket, rustled about for a long time, and then took off her panties. Then she put on her clothes and silently crept out of the tent.
After discarding the toilet paper she had used as a pad, she ran to the tent where they stored their mountain-climbing gear. Since the climbing team had many people, they had brought along comprehensive supplies, so Ling Momo quickly found a small basin and poured some cold water into it.
The weather was very cold, well below twenty degrees, and the water was freezing. Ling Momo touched the water and couldn’t help but shiver. She placed her only pair of blood-stained panties into it.
Then Ling Momo squatted on the ground, staring at the basin of water for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and with a resolve akin to facing death, reached her hand towards the basin.
However, before her hand could touch the cold water, all of a sudden, a slender hand stretched out from the side and steadily took the basin away from in front of her. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel~fire~net
Ling Momo’s eyes widened in surprise. Turning her head, she saw Li Qingshen’s handsome, elegant profile, as if it were a painting.
Why was he here? Wasn’t he asleep?
Ling Momo opened her mouth and called out, "Teacher..."
Li Qingshen hadn’t been asleep; he had just felt the girl’s rustlings in the blanket nearby, the faint noises she made, with no idea what she was up to.
He had kept quiet, but after a while, the girl had stealthily felt her way out of the tent.
Thinking she was just going to the bathroom, he hadn’t paid it any mind. But when she didn’t return after a while, he became uneasy, got up, and followed her out.
The moonlight was bright that night, and he immediately spotted the girl squatting on the ground not far away.
He quickly walked towards her.
She hadn’t noticed him and remained focused on something in front of her. It was only when he got close that she realized it was a basin.
Then followed by her baffling gesture to dip her hands into the water.
With the weather so cold, the water would undoubtedly be freezing too. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but extend his hand and take the basin away from her.
Thinking of this, Li Qingshen spoke softly, "The water is too cold, let me do it."
Then, he slowly squatted down, extended his hands into the basin of cold water, where the temperature dipped into the -20s and ice had started to form. Yet, he acted as if he didn’t feel the cold at all, his expression calm as he gently began to wash her tiny panties.
Ling Momo squatted beside him. She first looked at the basin of water and then followed Li Qingshen’s hand all the way up, finally resting her gaze on his profile.
His expression was one of focus, meticulously scrubbing her panties.
Her little panties were quickly moving between his fingers; only then did she belatedly realize that Li Qingshen was helping her wash her panties...
Instantly, Ling Momo’s face turned red.
Many of the bloodstains had dried and were hard to wash out, but Li Qingshen didn’t show the slightest impatience. He was extremely serious, treating the matter with utmost gravity.
