What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"I prepared it last month." He wanted to pat Jiuge's head, but was afraid of chilling her.

"I'm not shy." Jiuge's face grew redder and redder.

"Then... what are you being so arrogant about?" An Chen added a little more hot water to Jiu Ge's cup.

Don't worry about burning your mouth; the boiling water will cool down after a few seconds of contact.

"I'm not being arrogant." Jiuge turned her head and finished the warm water, which still had a hint of brown sugar ginger tea flavor, in one gulp.

"Well... then I'll go make breakfast." An Chen shook his head helplessly.

He picked up his water glass and kettle, then got up to go downstairs.

"Wait a minute." Jiu Ge exhaled and gave An Chen's back a slightly shy look.

"What's wrong?" An Chen turned around.

“I…I didn’t have that…” Jiu Ge stood up and placed the sheet on An Chen’s bed.

"Which one?" An Chen asked, increasingly surprised.

"..." Jiuge lowered her head, her ears turning red.

"You mean you're not on your period right now?" An Chen thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

“Hmm…” Jiuge nodded.

"How could you say something so embarrassing?" She looked up, her expression somewhat annoyed.

As someone who is overly honest and lacks social and romantic experience, Jiuge finds it difficult to talk about many private matters.

Strangely enough, when she's in a hurry, she can also naturally say things like, "It's not like we're making a baby."

In short, Jiuge's shyness and many of her perceptions are quite different from those of ordinary girls.

"..."

An Chen was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that when he asked Jiu Ge about her period when they went out for ice cream, Jiu Ge had the exact same reaction.

However, the other party immediately changed the subject after saying that.

“I know you’re not on your period, otherwise you would definitely mind my body temperature.” An Chen smiled and glanced at Jiu Ge.

If you're shy because you think you've been misunderstood, then just explain it clearly.

"The brown sugar ginger tea was prepared for your period, but it's also suitable to drink now, so I've brewed it for you in advance," he added.

“Not this one.” Jiuge lowered her head and thought for a while.

"There's still extra brown sugar ginger tea; we can buy more if we run out." An Chen was a little confused again.

In a sense, he and Jiuge did not spend a very long time together.

It may take some more time to get to know each other better.

"Thank you... I know, but that's not what I meant." Jiuge bit her lip, looking quite troubled.

"What does that mean?" An Chen thought Jiu Ge was indeed adorably silly at times.

"You don't need to be shy, just say what you want to say." He softened his voice, trying to make Jiuge more relaxed.

“That is… I haven’t arrived yet… and then… I…” Jiuge’s eyes darted away, her blush growing heavier.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly," An Chen said gently.

"I... my period hasn't started yet, it's not that I don't have my period anymore." Jiuge took a deep breath and tried to make herself clear.

“…I know.” An Chen felt his intelligence had been “crushed.”

"I'm not pregnant," Jiu Ge said softly.

“I know…we don’t have…” An Chen paused.

He didn't know how to express himself.

Is it possible to describe it using the phrase "making children"?

Jiuge is so shy right now, if she told anyone, she'd be hammered, right?

"You can't make me ignore the laws of physics...get pregnant..." Jiu Ge glanced at An Chen, then at her own stomach.

"...Um, what are you trying to say?" An Chen sensed something was off again.

This "Nine Songs" is definitely not what I meant by that.

"Of course, if you could teach me how to ignore physics... that would be fine too." Jiuge looked up, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"Hmm..." An Chen felt his hand holding the kettle was getting a little sore.

"So after all I've said, why haven't you asked me yet?" Jiuge stamped her foot and said reproachfully.

"What do you want to ask?" An Chen's mind started racing.

“It’s just…it’s just…” Jiu Ge clenched her fist, looking at the kettle and cup in An Chen’s hand with an unhappy expression.

An Chen fell silent.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Um... so when exactly is your period?"

Chapter 263 Are you showing off your love? (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

in the afternoon.

Upon receiving a phone call, Jiuge, still in her pajamas, hurriedly changed into a striped white dress.

She picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Your reaction sounds like you're going out on a date," An Chen said, half-lying on the sofa, curiously glancing at Jiu Ge.

"It wasn't a date! Su Zhi asked me out, and I also needed to discuss something with her," Jiu Ge hurriedly explained.

How can you use the word "date" when you're going out with new friends to take care of some serious business?

She's not that kind of frivolous woman.

"I know, I overheard your phone conversation." An Chen smiled and yawned.

Even a phone call between Jiuge and Suzhi felt like sending a secret message.

The two of them kept talking about how this happened and how that happened, but they never specified what the matter was.

Even when Su Zhi finally asked Jiu Ge to go out, she used a riddle-like phrase.

I don't know how Jiuge understood it.

"Don't let her lead you astray," An Chen solemnly reminded him.

After all, Su Zhi was Jiu Ge's first female friend, and their interactions were bound to have some mutual influence.

In addition, Jiuge is so innocent that she doesn't seem like a typical adult female college student...

He mentally simulated Jiu Ge mimicking Su Zhi's expressions and saying Su Zhi's words.

After a moment of stunned silence, An Chen quickly shook his head.

Jiuge must never become like that.

"You mean you're going too?" Jiuge blinked, looking a little hesitant.

What does "don't get misled" mean?

Is there anyone more beautiful than her?

"I...and you should get more rest." She glanced down at the floor, then looked at An Chen with concern.

“Yeah, I don’t plan to go.” An Chen shrugged and smiled at Jiu Ge.

"Okay, you can pick up the exam results at three o'clock. I'll also pick up your certificate and other documents while I'm at it." Upon hearing this, Jiuge showed a relieved expression.

She pushed open the door and fled the scene at lightning speed.

An Chen remained silent.

He sighed, frowned, and touched the cold sofa cushion.

Speaking of which, the candy has hardly jumped on me these past few days...

Although no side effects have been found yet, An Chen still feels uneasy.

"Milk Candy," he called out tentatively.

"Meow?" Milk Candy woke up with a start and looked up in confusion.

Where did the cat treats and canned cat food from my dream go?

"Come on to me." An Chen patted his thigh.

"..."

Normally, he only needs to pat himself lightly, and Milk Candy will tumble and crawl all over him.

"..." Milk Candy closed her eyes.

Its ears were still twitching, but it decided to continue playing dead.

……

Su Zhi had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Gusts of wind blew back and forth in the air.

She felt an itch on her face, and a few strands of hair fell down the back of her neck.

"Huh? Didn't you say on the phone that you were still on your way?" Hurriedly walking out of the community, Jiu Ge quickly went to meet Su Zhi.

Su Zhi's freshly styled haircut was completely messed up, and the top of her head looked like it had been scratched by chicken claws.

"I just arrived, and I'm not very good at tying my hair, so it came undone in a bit." Su Zhi turned her head away, avoiding looking at Jiu Ge.

Getting her to admit that she arrived at her destination before meeting Jiu Ge because she was so excited to see her was even harder than getting Li Zhi to confess her feelings.

“But… Zhang Zhidong just said you’ve been standing at the door for two hours, and you only talked to me on the phone a dozen minutes ago.”

Jiuge took out a small comb from her bag and ran it through Su Zhi's hair a few times.
