CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 763: FATEFUL ENCOUNTER? WHAT A HASSLE

--------------

Du Yanming really wanted to smack himself at that moment—why did you have to touch that!

However, after mopping the floor twice in resignation and placing a pair of relatively smaller slippers at the bathroom door, it had been twenty minutes and the girl in the bathroom hadn’t come out yet. He couldn’t help but approach the bathroom door once more.

"Um... did you fall into the toilet?" Du Yanming furrowed his brows, weakly spoke up.

Xie Yuyue, asked this question, felt almost mortified, but she had no choice! Seeing the Second Senior Brother finally coming over, she said tearfully:

"Second Senior Brother, could you please do me a favor? Could you bring me the black backpack I left in your car?" Xie Yuyue glanced at the bloodstains on her pants, really not wanting to put on those dirty pants again...

Upon hearing this, Du Yanming roughly understood what the situation was for the girl. He had a mom, after all.

Uh, and a scatterbrained sister.

"Okay, wait a moment." No wonder she was in such a rush, it turned out to be her period.

Knowing it wasn’t an acute illness, Du Yanming actually breathed a sigh of relief. He feared if she had fainted in the toilet, he might see something he shouldn’t upon barging in!

Two minutes later, Du Yanming found the black backpack mentioned by the girl in the back seat of his car and gave it to the girl who cracked open the bathroom door.

Xie Yuyue, still somewhat cautious, when she saw the big man standing with his back to the bathroom door during the timid door opening, felt a bit reassured. She quickly snatched the backpack and with a ’bang,’ closed the bathroom door.

Du Yanming: "..." This girl!

In the bathroom, after rummaging through her backpack and not finding even a single tissue, Xie Yuyue really wanted to cry!

After Du Yanming made himself some sobering soup and finished it, he realized that the girl still hadn’t come out from the bathroom...

At that moment, Du Yanming had a bad feeling in his heart.

As he approached the bathroom, he heard intermittent sobbing from inside, and his headache deepened. He took a deep breath and weakly offered:

"Hey... do you need help?"

"Yes! Second Senior Brother... I need a sanitary pad!" The last three words, Xie Yuyue said while covering her mouth, both ashamed and muffled.

"I... got it... just wait!" As soon as Du Yanming heard the crying inside, he was mentally prepared. Although the girl’s words were muffled, those three specific words, he understood clearly.

At that moment, Du Yanming had to reluctantly scrutinize himself, wondering why on earth he could understand these things?!

It could only be said that with a confused mom and sister at home, he had been obliviously helping them buy these from a young age, and after numerous times, the shop owner’s teasing made him understand even without understanding.

Was he really that fated with this thing? It was really frustrating.

Although he felt quite irritated inside, Du Yanming still resignedly took some money, ran to the local convenience store in the neighborhood, picked out a few familiar packs of well-known brands, and also bought new underwear and a set of pajamas for the girl, along with towels, toothbrushes, slippers, and a bunch of other daily necessities, before quickly heading back home.

Du Yanming came back, only to hang stuff on the bathroom doorknob before quickly mentioning it to Little Ya and then immediately took off.

Having heard the retreating footsteps of Second Senior Brother, Xie Yuyue quickly opened the bathroom door, snatched up the bag in her hand and swiftly closed the door again.

Looking at the big bag filled with well-prepared necessities in her hand, her face showed a very odd color. Although she was only fifteen, ever since she started menstruating, her mom had told her some physiological knowledge and awareness...

Uh, a love expert?!

The young Xie Yuyue immediately thought of this term mentioned by Brother Xiao Si. At such an awkward moment, she was still able to think about this, truly bold!

Although Xie Yuyue was a bit worried that the other party might have ill intentions, seeing his consistently cautious behavior and knowing he was also an apprentice of Master Guo, she felt somewhat relieved.

Seeing even the towel was there, Xie Yuyue, who had run away from home and definitely couldn’t leave tonight, decided she wasn’t scared anymore. She directly locked the bathroom door, took off her clothes, washed the towel several times, and then seriously began to bathe.

After hanging the things on the doorknob, Du Yanming went straight to the second floor’s restricted area, stripped off his clothes, and took a shower. Running around like that, he felt both the alcoholic and medicinal effects lighten quite a bit...

But still, he is a man, and showering only took about ten minutes. After he finished his shower and put on some comfortable casual pajamas, he went downstairs only to see that Little Ya wasn’t in the living room?

"Could she have left on her own?" Du Yanming couldn’t quite believe it and muttered to himself.

After all, the compound he lived in was in the suburbs! Moreover, it’s generally inhabited by rich people, everyone has private cars, and by this late hour, there are neither buses nor taxis...

Just stepping into the hallway, his ears sharply picked up a small humming from the bathroom, along with the sound of the spraying water—

Clearly, someone was taking a shower in the bathroom!

Du Yanming furrowed his brows, thinking this little girl was really bold, daring to take a shower in a strange man’s house?

Listening to the little girl’s cheerful nursery rhyme, Du Yanming felt a strong urge to spank her—a desire he’d definitely fulfill if the careless girl were his daughter, he’d undoubtedly discipline her with a rattan cane!

To avoid awkwardness, Du Yanming simply returned to the living room to sit, and even turned on all the lights. The dim interior instantly brightened.

Thinking about how long the little girl might have hidden in his car, Du Yanming, covering his empty stomach, decided to prepare some midnight snacks, as he practically hadn’t eaten at the dinner earlier.

Besides being urged to drink a few glasses of yellow wine, he hadn’t really had much food throughout the evening. As a man who typically enjoys meat and never treats himself poorly, Du Yanming opened the fridge, decisively took out a few pieces of meat, grabbed some cauliflower, and decided making rice would be too much trouble at the moment, so he opted for noodles instead.

Soaking the noodles in warm water would make them ready to fry in a short while—convenient and easy.

As soon as Du Yanming had fried two beef steaks, after having rinsed the noodles in cold water several times, he, with his keen hearing, heard the shower finally stop.

Du Yanming relaxed his broad shoulders, continuing to fry the rest of the meat...

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Xie Yuyue looked at the clothes she had changed out of, her face turning pale. At home, aside from her own underwear, she usually washed other clothes in the washing machine!

Looking again, she saw not only her dirty clothes in the washbasin but also the new pajamas Second Senior Brother had bought for her got wet too!

Uh, even if they weren’t wet, she wouldn’t wear them! Her family never wears new clothes without washing them first—
