Watching Long Aotian's retreating figure, Li Qingxue also turned to leave.
But her mood didn’t seem particularly agitated.
Realizing this, Li Qingxue quickly wiped the smile off her face.
"That annoying Long Aotian..."
Then, as if remembering something, the smile that had just been on her face faded slightly.
She headed in the direction of her home.
After returning home, Li Qingxue first checked herself in the mirror.
Sure enough, she found a stain on her skirt. She changed out of the skirt, tossed the clothes into the washing machine, and hurriedly ran back to her room.
Her long, slender, and fair legs effortlessly hopped onto her bed.
After a moment of thought, she jumped down from the bed again, opened her wardrobe, and pulled out some undergarments from a small drawer. She then crawled back under the covers, and soon a pair of black panties was replaced.
Her lovely figure rolled back and forth on the bed.
For some reason, she felt inexplicably happy.
Especially when she glanced at the black panties she had just changed out of, she buried herself under the covers, covering her face with her hands, feeling too shy to face anyone.
Why is eighteen always said to be the most beautiful age? Because of its purity, its innocence, and its sheer beauty.
A knock sounded at her door.
Li Qingxue was startled, and then she heard her mother's voice: "Xue'er, come out for dinner."
The sound of the door opening followed.
Li's Mother looked at the girl wrapped tightly in her blanket and couldn’t help but chuckle: "Xue, what are you doing? Why are you wrapped up like that?"
"Do you know you look like a... silkworm cocoon?"
Actually, Li's Mother had wanted to say "maggot," but she thought that sounded too crude and unrefined, so she changed it to "silkworm cocoon."
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed the undergarments Li Qingxue had changed out of.
Li Qingxue, who had just poked her head out from under the blanket, also noticed her mother's gaze.
Her already flushed face turned even redder.
She quickly grabbed the undergarments and pulled them under the covers.
Li's Mother couldn’t help but laugh silently and quietly left the room.
After closing the door, she leaned against it, trying to hold back her laughter: "Has Xue finally started to understand these things?"
Their daughter was outstanding, and as parents, they were most afraid that she might get caught up in the hormonal chaos of adolescence... After all, both she and Father Li had been young once, and they knew how it felt.
But their worries seemed unnecessary.
Qingxue didn’t seem to be affected by adolescence at all, and they weren’t sure if that was a good thing or...
But just now, the way she wrapped herself in the blanket, her flushed face, and the discarded undergarments...
"Honey, what are you grinning about?" Father Li came over and, seeing the amused smile on his wife's face, couldn’t help but ask.
"None of your business. Let’s eat."
Father Li took a deep breath, seeing his wife’s playful, coquettish demeanor, and suddenly felt a surge of confidence. He quickly followed her.
Li Qingxue, now in her pajamas, also came out of her room.
After dinner, Li's Mother cleared her throat: "Father Li, you do the dishes. Xue, let’s watch some TV together."
Li Qingxue, who had been about to return to her room, stopped and nodded, following her mother to the living room to watch TV.
Not long after, Li Qingxue frowned slightly: "Mom, are you watching the TV or me? You’re distracting me."
"Xue, you’re growing up. It’s about time to start thinking about dating," Li's Mother said, not knowing how to broach the topic more subtly. "But as girls, we must always maintain our dignity."
Once school started, Li Qingxue would be heading to the capital, far from home. Her parents wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on her all the time, and they didn’t want her to be fooled by some bad boy.
Perhaps this was a sentiment only parents with daughters could truly understand.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I’m not even thinking about dating yet," Li Qingxue said, feeling a bit embarrassed by her mother’s words.
But her reaction only made Li's Mother sigh. She had barely mentioned it, and already her daughter’s face was as red as if she had already picked out a name for her future child.
"I’m not watching TV with you anymore," Li Qingxue said, then returned to her room, feeling like her mom was acting strange today.
And she also felt... a little strange herself...
Lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, she rolled over and picked up her phone.
Li Qingxue loved posting updates.
Ever since she got her first phone and created her own QQ account, she had been posting frequently on her profile.
Sometimes she would even share what she had for lunch.
Even now, Li Qingxue hadn’t broken this habit.
Perhaps this was what people called the urge to share.
Looking at her phone, she typed and deleted, and soon over a hundred words appeared on the screen.
After reading them, she finally deleted everything and posted: 【Today, I’m a little happy.】
After posting, she let out a long sigh and lay back on her bed.
Soon, Li Qingxue received many comments.
The most active ones were from the girls she had gone shopping with that day.
They thought her post was about their outing and how much fun they had.
Li Qingxue replied to each comment one by one.
For her, this was also a form of enjoyment.
But suddenly, her eyes caught a comment: 【As your knight, I should have stepped back, but unexpectedly, my grades also got me into a university in the capital.】
It was from Ye Liangchen.
Li Qingxue glanced at it and quickly scrolled past.
The memory of Ye Liangchen asking her to lower her scores and repeat the school year with him was like a fishbone stuck in her throat. Every time she saw Ye Liangchen, she was reminded of it.
The pain of that incident was too great. Someone she had known for nine years had asked her to give up her college entrance exam. How ridiculous...
After replying to all the comments, Li Qingxue was about to log off when she noticed a new post on her feed.
【Nine years together, never forgotten. Through blood, sweat, and sleepless nights, I’ve stayed true to my heart and finally achieved my wish. Once, you said that high school was about the college entrance exam, and university was about freedom and dreams. Do you still remember that promise?】
(Accompanied by a picture of a hand hidden in darkness and a bright moon.)
Li Qingxue had noticed before that Ye Liangchen’s posts were often set to be visible only to her.
But this time, there were already comments under the post, meaning it wasn’t just for her eyes.
She rolled her eyes, feeling utterly exasperated, and chose to log off directly: "What a lunatic..."
【Wishing everyone a little happiness today... Please send some encouragement, thank you...】
