Chapter 242 : Men Can't Say They Can't
Lin Nan sat at the dining table with a stern face, lowered her head to look at the richly-filled congee, then raised her head to look at Chen Yao sitting beside her.
She suddenly remembered last night's incident and that dream. Her face immediately flushed red and she awkwardly lowered her head to drink her congee.
"Nan Nan, from now on we'll leave at eight in the morning and won't be back until eleven at night." Auntie had already dressed in her going-out gear. As she passed the dining room she stopped to give instructions. "Everything's in the fridge. If you run out, give me a call."
"Mm, don't worry."
"You two need to eat properly. Make sure to combine meat and vegetables."
"We know." Lin Nan smiled and nodded, inconspicuously using the magic she'd just unlocked on Uncle and Auntie.
Along with a slight magical fluctuation, Lin Nan could "see" a layer of soft membrane like a raincoat draped over their skin. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, smiling as she watched the two elders leave.
This should prevent them from getting infected, right?
Lin Nan worriedly glared at Chen Yao beside her. If this guy hadn't agreed so readily, she wouldn't have needed to endure the shame to unlock this magic. Who knows what she dreamed about last night!
The two of them tacitly didn't bring up last night's events. Chen Yao was mainly still confused and couldn't figure out the situation, while Lin Nan was simply shy.
After eating, she put the dishes in the dishwasher, then Lin Nan hurriedly ran to take a shower.
Last night's dream had left her underwear sticky and uncomfortable. Plus her period had coincidentally arrived, causing her pajamas to be stained red... Fortunately, the pajamas were thick fleece material, so at least it hadn't leaked onto the blanket.
This situation obviously couldn't be let known to Auntie. Lin Nan planned to quickly wash the clothes clean after her shower.
Chen Yao finished eating early. His head was still full of confusion. Seeing Lin Nan leave, he also got up from the dining table and returned to his room.
He'd never had close contact with females before, so he was very puzzled by Lin Nan's behavior last night.
Moreover, looking at Lin Nan's sleeping appearance this morning...
He must have been thinking impurely and imagining things. Lin Nan had only recently become a girl—how could she possibly think about those kinds of things?
Chen Yao wasn't really a shut-in type. Though he normally liked games, he often played basketball and exercised. But with the epidemic, he didn't even dare go out. Having played games to excess, he'd also grown a bit tired of them.
He sat in front of the computer idly clicking through today's news, paying attention to the latest epidemic situation. But then he heard the sound of the room door opening. Looking back, his gaze immediately froze.
Lin Nan had changed into a high-necked white sweater. The undulation at her chest was particularly prominent. Her lower half wore low-waisted jeans that outlined the curved contours of her buttocks and legs without reservation. This outfit completely displayed her graceful figure to outside eyes.
"What are you looking at!" Lin Nan glared at him irritably, using a towel to dry her hair as she walked to the bedside table, picked up a khaki-colored windbreaker and put it on.
Her figure was immediately concealed by the windbreaker. Chen Yao regretfully returned his gaze to the computer.
Why did Mom buy her a windbreaker?
Lin Nan had probably started developing around September or October. In just this half year, she'd actually developed so well.
He grumbled internally, then turned his head to glance at Lin Nan sitting properly on the bed behind him, feeling slightly regretful about her short hair.
If only it were long hair.
"Chen Yao, how does your family heat water? I just looked around the kitchen and didn't see a kettle."
"Should be in the cupboard, right? Can't you just drink bottled water?..."
Chen Yao's family had bought several cases of bottled water. Normally they'd just boil a kettle of water during the day and put it in a thermos. Most of the time they drank ice-cold bottled water.
But Lin Nan's period had come today.
Her lower abdomen felt a bit cool and achy. Though the pain had lessened considerably compared to before, the experience was still quite bad.
Chen Yao turned around and looked at Lin Nan's slightly irritated expression. "What? Your period came?"
Nodding, Lin Nan lay down on the bed, rubbing her lower abdomen in frustration.
"I'll go boil water for you." Chen Yao got up and left the room. After a few seconds, he retreated back. "If you're on your period, try not to touch cold water. Should I make lunch?"
"I still need to wash clothes."
"Let me do that too."
"Get lost!"
Lin Nan didn't want him to see the bloodstains on her pajamas.
Her tone was much worse than usual, but Chen Yao had no objections and continued, "Then I'll get you two buckets of warm water to wash clothes. Why hand-wash when the washing machine works so well?"
"Two pieces of clothing in the washing machine wastes too much water."
She casually explained, then turned over to lie on her side curled up, playing with her phone.
These jeans were quite tight. Though the elasticity was good, Lin Nan was still a bit worried about whether making too big a movement would burst the pants...

After lying there for a moment, she remembered last night's dream again.
That dream was probably a selection from one of Lilith's nightly festivities, except in the dream she had become Lilith.
Honestly, even when she was male before, she rarely had those types of dreams. She hadn't expected that not only would she have one last night, but it would be quite pleasant too...
How scary. Fortunately she woke up before the final step. Lin Nan felt her thoughts had been contaminated by Lilith.
She got up and opened the bedroom window. The room had almost no ventilation, which caused it to always seem to faintly carry Chen Yao's scent.
Just as she was about to leave the bedroom, Chen Yao also pushed open the door carrying a thermos.
"Here, hot water, heat pack. Your warm water for washing clothes—I've already filled one bucket on the balcony. The first bucket is still filling."
He stepped aside to let Lin Nan pass and put the things on the cabinet, instructing, "When your period comes, don't drink beverages. After washing clothes, go lie on the bed and rest for a couple days."
Lin Nan was irritated by his nagging and didn't answer, leaving for the balcony with a stern face.
Chen Yao turned his head to look at her retreating back, completely baffled.
Though he'd heard that when girls got their periods it caused low mood and irritability, I didn't provoke her, did I?
The way she stayed silent with that stern face was really aggravating. Chen Yao was too lazy to care much anyway—this time it was just a period problem. In a couple days she'd get better.
Half-lying on the bed, Chen Yao yawned, always feeling that strange floral fragrance in the room was getting stronger and stronger.
Here was a perfectly good hot-blooded young man having to spend day and night with the girl he liked. Moreover, this girl kept intentionally or unintentionally tempting him, yet he completely didn't dare make a move. In just these few short days, Chen Yao felt his body was suffering a bit.
If this continued, before he could win Lin Nan over, he'd probably really become impotent.
"Chen Yao, what do you want for lunch?"
Lin Nan's voice suddenly came from the balcony.
"Should I make it?"
A moment later, her figure appeared at the bedroom door, her face full of disdainful doubt. "Can you even do it?"
For some reason, hearing those three words made him angry.
"Why don't you try and see if I can do it?"
"?" A question mark appeared over Lin Nan's head, but she quickly understood the meaning in Chen Yao's words. Her face darkened and she turned to leave. "Pervert!"
