She thought for a moment and reminded her, “My brother will be taking his middle school exams this summer. He doesn’t have much time. Don’t disturb him.”
Yang Jingyi looked embarrassed, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful and not disturb him too much.”
Ji Yuanyuan had a headache. She said she would not disturb her brother too much, which meant she would still disturb him.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to treat Xinyi as your biological sister? Why are you fighting with her now?” Ji Yuanyuan asked softly.
Yang Jingyi looked around and saw that Fang Xinyi was not there yet. She then whispered into Ji Yuanyuan’s ear, “1 do treat her as my biological sister, but there are some things that we have to compete with.”
As soon as Yang Jingyi finished speaking, Fang Xinyi entered the classroom.
She was panting heavily. When she passed Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi’s seats, she explained, “I overslept at noon and was almost late.”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly passed the book on the table to Fang Xinyi, “My Big Brother gave this to you. Take a look first.”
“Okay!” Fang Xinyi took it.
After Fang Xinyi returned to the back seat, Ji Yuanyuan explained to Yang Jingyi, “You should let your sister accompany you tonight. My brother won the first prize this time. Our family will have dinner together tonight.”
Yang Jingyi looked disappointed, “What? That’s not good, right?”
“What’s wrong with that?” As Ji Yuanyuan spoke, the teacher had already stepped into the classroom.
The two of them immediately sat up straight and waited for the teacher to start class.
After class, Yang Jingyi ran to the back to tease Fang Xinyi.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the extra-cursory books in boredom.
“I heard that your brother won the first prize in the olympiad tournament?”
Ji Yuanyuan looked up from her textbook in surprise and saw Yu Jianian standing in front of her, asking shyly.
“Yes, it’s the first prize!” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
“Then your brother is quite impressive,” Yu Jianian smiled.
Ji Yuanyuan was about to say something when Yang Jingyi suddenly ran over in a panic and whispered something into Ji Yuanyuan’s ear.
When Ji Yuanyuan heard this, her expression turned serious.
She took out toilet paper and money from her desk and stool, stuffed them into the pocket of her school uniform, and then followed Yang Jingyi to the back. The two of them protected Fang Xinyi in the middle and quickly left through the back door.
Yu Jianian stood rooted to the ground, watching Ji Yuanyuan’s back. She sighed in disappointment and returned to her seat with her head lowered.
Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi brought Fang Xinyi to the washroom.
“Go in and keep her company. I’ll go buy something,” she instructed Yang Jingyi.
“Then hurry up.” Fang Xinyi was a little scared.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and turned to run.
There were no small shops in the middle school, but there were shops along the street outside.
There was a window between them, and the students could pass in their money through the window if they wanted to buy anything. The shop owner would then pass out the things they wanted.
Not long after Ji Yuanyuan handed the money over, the shop owner handed over a black plastic bag.
Ji Yuanyuan opened the plastic bag and took a look before running back to the toilet.
The bell for the class had already rung, but Ji Yuanyuan did not care too much about it.
Fang Xinyi and Yang Jingyi were both scared out of their wits in the toilet.
“There’s so much blood. What happened to her…” Seeing Ji Yuanyuan return, Yang Jingyi came up to him and asked in fear.
“It’s nothing. Girls are all like this.” Ji Yuanyuan took out the things she bought from the black plastic bag and waved them in front of Yang Jingyi, “Look, don’t they look familiar?”
Yang Jingyi took it suspiciously and nodded, “My mother seems to have this too.”
In this era, it seemed that the folk customs were much more open, but many women were still very conservative.
Women like Hu Chunli, Li Xu, and Deng Juan would not explain to their daughters in advance what their periods were and what sanitary pads were. Usually, they would wait until their daughters experienced it before vaguely telling them how to use the sanitary pads, how long their periods would last, and how often they would come.
Although there was a biology class in junior high school, it did not teach about girls ‘periods.
“This is called a sanitary pad. It’s used by girls during their period…” Ji Yuanyuan explained carefully to the two of them.
After explaining, she opened the sanitary pad and explained its usage in detail.
After she was done packing, Fang Xinyi stood up.
Her pants were covered in blood. Fortunately, her school uniform was black, so people couldn’t tell.
She took off her shirt and wrapped it around her waist.
“You’re amazing,” Yang Jingyi said, impressed. “How do you know everything?”
“I read a lot of books,” Ji Yuanyuan replied perfunctorily.
“Then forget it. 1 don’t want her to accompany me tonight. She’s lost so much blood. Let her go home and rest!” Yang Jingyi said to Ji Yuanyuan.
“What do you mean?” Fang Xinyi was confused.
Yang Jingyi quickly shook her head, “Nothing. Go home and rest early tonight. You can ask your mother to buy some pig liver for you.”
Ji Yuanyuan urged, “Alright, alright. The class has started. We have to go back quickly.”
On the way back, Yang Jingyi suggested, “When the teacher asks, just say that Xinyi has a stomachache. We’ll accompany her to the bathroom.”
The three of them reached an agreement. Yang Jingyi was about to explain when they stood at the door of the classroom.
The homeroom teacher sized them up and waved his hand, “Hurry back to your seat.”
Yang Jingyi was a little surprised and returned to her seat suspiciously.
While the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she quietly whispered into Ji Yuanyuan’s ear, “Why is the teacher so nice to us today?”
Ji Yuanyuan did not answer her question and only reminded her softly, “Have a good class!”
It wasn’t like she hadn’t experienced it before.
Furthermore, Fang Xinyi’s expression was not very good. Coupled with the clothes around her waist, any adult woman would probably be able to see her condition.
Girls at this age would more or less have some shame about menstruation. The teacher did not point it out because he was protecting the children’s mentality. After class, Teacher Han packed up her textbooks and said without looking up, “Fang Xinyi, come with me.”
With that, she hugged her textbook and turned to leave the classroom.
Yang Jingyi subconsciously looked at Fang Xinyi and said worriedly to Ji Yuanyuan, “Is Teacher Han going to criticize Xinyi? Should we go and help her explain?”
Ji Yuanyuan held her down, “That won’t happen. If she were to criticize us, she would definitely call all three of us over. How could he look for Fang Xinyi alone? There must be something else.”
Yang Jingyi was relieved, but her face fell again as she watched Fang Xinyi leave.
“Yuanyuan, I’ve been thinking about a question just now.”
“Yes, what is it?” Ji Yuanyuan tilted his head..
