Bai Qingqing explained, “To most people, students at the third grade of high school are at an extremely important phase in their life. Proper girls wouldn’t spend too much energy on things other than their studies during this phase.”
Mu Ya subconsciously thought of Shen Yin, followed by Wang Muxi.
Wang Muxi seemed to be the “improper girl” his mommy mentioned. She kept thinking of getting into a love relationship in third grade of high school and looked around for trouble everywhere.
Things were different for Shen Yin.
Mu Ya instantly put on a pleased expression and continued eating his food.
Bai Qingqing had thought that there was really something going on with her third son. Thus, she felt unsure after seeing that he was happy.
.
“Anyway, you guys must be careful toward relationships. The most important thing is that you mustn’t cross the line, do you understand?” Bai Qingqing said solemnly, thinking that she must tell Muir to talk to them about sex education when he was free. It’d be awkward for her to talk to her sons about this topic.
“I got it.”
The three brothers replied in unison.
Dinner was only over after two hours due to more food being added and also the family meeting. The children then went back with their respective dads to wash up and rest.
When Bai Qingqing was at home, all the parents would stay on the third floor. Therefore, the four rooms on the second floor basically belonged to the children.
The three Mu brothers entered their daddy’s room, and Mu Tian fought to be the first to use the bathroom. As the eldest brother, Mu Hai didn’t fight with him. However, Mu Ya planned on sneaking out from the window.
Mu Hai immediately called him. “Where are you going?”
“I have something to do,” Mu Ya replied hurriedly, then planned on flipping out of the window.
Mu Hai grabbed his shoulder, frowned, and said, “Have you forgotten mommy’s words?”
Mu Ya paused. “I’m only going out to buy some stuff.”
Not believing him, Mu Hai didn’t let go.
“She only has one set of clothes,” Mu Ya said, feeling strangely uncomfortable. He instinctively didn’t wish to mention Shen Yin too much in front of his brothers, as if this was very dangerous to do.
He wanted to help Shen Yin but didn’t wish for his brothers to help her.
Only then did Mu Hai let go, saying, “Come back after you’re done. Bring them to school tomorrow.”
“I will.”
After saying that, Mu Ya jumped out of the window onto the courtyard’s wall, then out of the courtyard.
Thankfully, he narrowly came back in time to receive Muir’s sex education.
…
The next day, the three young men entered the classroom energetically. The first lesson was self-study.
The morning self-study was still to read the English textbook aloud. Today, the form teacher wasn’t strict with them and let the students do so freely. It was very noisy in the class.
Mu Ya took out a plastic bag from his drawer and placed it on Shen Yin’s lap without even looking at her.
Shen Yin’s body shook and she lowered her head to take a look. She then looked toward Mu Ya, feeling perplexed.
“For you.” Not hearing the other party’s reply, Mu Ya added, “Clothes.”
Shen Yin opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, the hesitation in her heart caused her to not make a sound.
It was true that she needed clothes. She wanted a set of clothes in which she could change between.
She looked at her school uniform that had turned white from all the washing, the fabric having piled up from being often soaked in perspiration. This made it even harder for her to refuse the new set of clothes.
If she were to refuse it, it might be a very long time before she could get to wear new clothes. Moreover… this was a gift from Mu Ya.
Mu Ya had drawn back his hand. After he finished reading a chapter, Shen Yin stuffed the bag into her drawer, replying in a soft voice, “Thank you.”
Her faint voice was drowned amidst the reading voices, but it reached Mu Ya’s ears clearly.
His lips curled up, but he didn’t look at her from the beginning to the end. It was as if that set of clothes had nothing to do with him.
