“……”
Jiang Xiao could somewhat sense that Song Qiuyu had always had a hidden difficulty, but he had truly never considered this possibility.
For a moment, he was a bit stunned.
He hadn’t experienced anything like this, but he could still understand her current feelings, so he didn’t ask further.
He just hummed, acknowledging that he understood.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
If it were winter, it would be fine, but it’s still a hot summer.
Since it’s wet, if it’s not handled properly, it might smell too strong and be easily discovered by others.
Looking at it this way, there seems to be only one solution.
“There’s no other way, I’ll just have to take them off and throw them away.”
Song Qiuyu’s eyes were incredibly firm.
After saying that, her neck quietly turned even redder.
The full class schedule in the morning didn’t give her any chance to run back and forth.
So, once she took them off, she’d have nothing to wear.
“Take them off and throw them away? Are you just going to wear the top half of your pajamas afterward?”
Jiang Xiao was taken aback.
The image was too horrifying to think about in detail.
“Uh, no, just the inner ones. I’ll throw those away.”
Song Qiuyu immediately looked a bit embarrassed.
“I see.”
Good thing it wasn’t everything.
Jiang Xiao nodded and extended his hand into the cubicle, palm open.
“?”
Song Qiuyu was startled, looking at his outstretched hand in a daze.
Huh? What did he mean by opening his hand?
“Put the pants you take off onto my hand first, then take care of yourself carefully, don’t fall.”
Jiang Xiao explained calmly.
“Okay…”
Song Qiuyu stared blankly at the large hand and nodded.
Although Jiang Xiao seemed very considerate to her, his “brother,” at the moment…
In her memory, he was equally very considerate to Shen Xi.
But if Jiang Xiao discovered the true nature of the person handcuffed to him in the cubicle, if he found out she was just a scumbag playing with his emotions…
Perhaps, not only would he no longer be considerate, but he would also be so angry that his temperament would change even more, becoming someone who could do whatever he wanted to her even in the men’s restroom, turning her into a cream puff…
Jiang Xiao’s filter of consideration suddenly shattered, replaced by an even more cautious and strong awareness of female chastity and safety.
She lowered her head, taking her other round, firm, and slender leg out of the pant leg.
Then, gritting her teeth, she gently placed the removed little yellow chicken pajama bottoms, still carrying her body temperature, onto Jiang Xiao’s outstretched hand.
Immediately after, she continued to remove the wet one, then skillfully rolled it into a ball and threw it directly into the trash can beside her.
To prevent it from being seen at a glance, she even specifically pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, spread it out, and covered it.
As for what the cleaning lady who cleaned the men’s restroom would react when she found it, she didn’t dare to think about it anymore!
She was already mortified enough!
Her legs felt cold.
As soon as Jiang Xiao opened the door, he would see her in a pose that seemed to say, “Please enjoy your meal.”
The doubled sense of shame made her head spin even more.
She pursed her lips, pulled out another tissue, bent down, and carefully began to clean up.
Jiang Xiao waited patiently.
Even when his hand started to ache, he didn’t move, remaining as still as a soulless human clothes rack.
Only when his hand felt lighter, and the other person took the soft pajama bottoms, did he slightly move his aching hand.
“This time, you’ve really gone to too much trouble, Jiang Xiao!”
Song Qiuyu was extremely ashamed, putting on the pajama bottoms that carried his body temperature as quickly as possible.
“It’s nothing.”
Jiang Xiao was a bit puzzled.
Her tone of thanks seemed a bit too heavy.
After all, her getting into this predicament was also to help him with their scene.
Besides, they were friends, friends since middle school.
So, wasn’t it only natural for him to help Song Qiuyu?
A familiar rustle of fabric echoed in the men’s restroom.
Song Qiuyu had finished getting dressed.
However, she also felt the surrounding temperature rise, and she was so hot that her thoughts became a muddled mess.
She mumbled a few words that she was ready, and when Jiang Xiao moved aside from the door, she pushed open the cubicle door.
She stepped out of the cubicle, her pants feeling cool and the unfamiliar emptiness making her extremely uncomfortable.
She led Jiang Xiao towards the sink, eager to wash her hands and escape the men’s restroom.
She was also very grateful that there was still no one else in the restroom.
“Is class starting soon?” Song Qiuyu asked, turning on the faucet at the same time.
“Three more minutes.” Jiang Xiao shifted his gaze from her flushed face and checked his phone.
“Oh, then I was pretty quick.”
As her hands entered the cool water, Song Qiuyu felt herself relax slightly due to the chill.
She even splashed some cold water on her face.
After thoroughly washing her hands, she prepared to leave the men’s restroom, her expression becoming slightly uncomfortable.
She wondered if her pajama bottoms were pulled up too high, as some parts of her body kept getting rubbed… It was terribly uncomfortable.
“Wait for me for a bit, I’ll go too while I’m at it.”
“Okay.” Song Qiuyu nodded, completely agreeing.
This way, they wouldn’t have to come to the restroom together again later.
She was led by Jiang Xiao towards the urinals, stopping in front of them.
At the same time, at the entrance of the men’s restroom, a somewhat chubby boy slowly walked down the aisle, intending to use the restroom.
One foot hadn’t even fully stepped into the men’s restroom.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the sight of Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao handcuffed together fell into his view.
He didn’t continue walking in; his steps halted.
These two looked somewhat familiar? He pondered for a moment, then deceased memories, like little flying sticks, chased him down with lightning speed, banging repeatedly until he felt dizzy.
“Holy crap, it’s those two again? Do these two lunatics really love men’s restroom play so much?!”
The world is truly going downhill… Damn it!
This time they even had handcuffs on, playing cop and criminal, huh? Where is justice? Where is the sun and moon? His heart was filled with intense resentment.
Why couldn’t it be him? With tears in his eyes, he resigned himself to his bad luck and turned around, walking back down the aisle he came from.
At the same time, he resolved that once he returned, he would transform into a keyboard warrior and fiercely criticize this behavior again.
Inside the men’s restroom, both Jiang Xiao and Song Qiuyu were still unaware of the chubby boy’s situation.
They stopped in front of the urinals.
Then, Song Qiuyu instinctively looked away, not daring to face it directly.
The silver chain lightly swayed, making crisp sounds as it collided.
With a tearing sound, her small hand was pulled down by Jiang Xiao’s movement, uncontrollably drooping.
Jiang Xiao lowered his eyes, focusing on his own business, and with a large hand, he pulled something out.
“?”
With a sudden flick, Song Qiuyu’s gaze, which had been specifically looking elsewhere, abruptly narrowed.
Her fingers, which retained an inexplicable sensation, curled up.
A hint of resistance and disgust rose in her heart, but her mind was recalling and imagining what had just happened on its own accord.
Soft and squishy.
It seemed she had touched Jiang Xiao’s “that.”
Her heart quickened, and that hand curled up again.
More and more question marks popped up in her mind, but she forced a relatively calm expression on her face, belatedly realizing what had fully transpired.
For a moment, she didn’t know what reaction would be the most normal!
She had goosebumps, held her breath, and that hand trembled slightly.
Only one uncontrollable thought immediately sprang to mind:
Mom, my fingers are dirty!
Jiang Xiao paused slightly, sniffing a scent in the air—the scent of embarrassment.
