Xiao Youran said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.
Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything either.
The room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere involuntarily became ambiguous.
Sensing the shift, Xu Xiuwen said, "It's getting late. I should go. You should rest early too."
Just as he was about to get up and leave, he felt someone grab his hand from behind.
There was no one else in the room, so it could only be Xiao Youran.
Xu Xiuwen turned around to see Xiao Youran holding his hand.
He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
With her head lowered, Xiao Youran said, "If you leave now, what will you do?"
Xu Xiuwen was puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
Xiao Youran pointed at a certain spot on his body and then quickly withdrew her hand.
Following the direction of her gesture, Xu Xiuwen looked down at his pants and instantly understood what she meant.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Xiao Youran say, "Didn't you say last time that holding it in would be bad for you? How are you going to deal with it when you get home?"
Xu Xiuwen recalled the previous situation.
He had indeed told Xiao Youran that holding it in was bad for one's health and could cause harm.
To his surprise, Xiao Youran had believed him completely.
Xu Xiuwen had originally planned to leave.
However, seeing Xiao Youran's expression made him change his mind.
She was sitting on the bed in a duck sit position, her head lowered, her face flushed with embarrassment that almost reached her ears.
In the gentle light of the room, her skin appeared fair and rosy, looking increasingly endearing.
Reacting quickly, Xu Xiuwen said, "Yes, I was hoping you could help me, but you seemed so nervous earlier. I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't say anything."
Xiao Youran stammered, "If... if you need... I can help."
Xu Xiuwen was overjoyed.
This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
He immediately began to take off his pants.
His movements were so swift that Xiao Youran had no time to prepare herself mentally.
Embarrassed, she turned her head to look out the window.
Xu Xiuwen gently took Xiao Youran's delicate hand.
She was extremely tense, her fingers stiff.
Leading her hand, Xu Xiuwen aimed it toward the target.
Just as they were about to make contact, she pulled her hand back and whispered, "Can you turn off the light?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded, "Alright, I'll turn off the light right now."
He turned off the light and climbed onto the bed, lying down with his legs spread.
Though the light was off, the room wasn't entirely dark because the curtains were slightly open, letting in a sliver of moonlight.
Xiao Youran remained seated on the bed.
Xu Xiuwen had to prompt her, "Youran, please hurry. It's getting late, the sooner you help me, the sooner I can go home."
Biting her lip, Xiao Youran said, "I don't know how."
Xu Xiuwen thought, Didn't I teach you last time?
But he kept this thought to himself, knowing that saying it out loud might make Xiao Youran too shy to help him.
He gently coaxed, "Just come over here first."
After an internal struggle, Xiao Youran finally complied.
She found it difficult to maintain a duck sit, so she knelt with her legs together instead.
Xu Xiuwen praised her internally, "This position is perfect. Now, just follow my lead..."
Xiao Youran remained still.
Xu Xiuwen didn't rush her.
After a few minutes, she finally moved.
"Like this?" she asked shyly.
"Yes, just like that," Xu Xiuwen confirmed.
Watching Xiao Youran, with her single hand bracing against the bed, the moonlight accentuating her delicate features, he felt a surge of pride and excitement.
Having such a beautiful girl help him in this way made him feel uniquely privileged.
He continued to watch Xiao Youran.
Occasionally, she glanced up and caught his gaze, his gentle eyes softening her heart.
Her shyness diminished, and she no longer resisted the task, focusing solely on helping Xu Xiuwen resolve his issue.
....
Half an hour later.
Both of them were in a mess.
Looking at her soiled clothes, Xiao Youran couldn't help but exclaim, "Xu Xiuwen, you're too much! Why didn't you tell me?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled apologetically, explaining, "My bad, I didn't get the chance."
Xiao Youran pouted, "I'm never helping you again, you're so annoying."
She got off the bed, grabbed some tissues, and started to clean herself up.
Xu Xiuwen quickly said, "Give me some too."
She handed him the tissues, and he cleaned himself up before tossing the used tissues into the trash can and putting his pants back on.
Suddenly, Xiao Youran said, "Xiao Xu, I'm going to take a shower."
Xu Xiuwen hurriedly replied, "It's late, I should head home now."
She nodded, and Xu Xiuwen opened the door and walked out.
Just as they reached the living room, heading towards the main door, they heard a noise outside.
It sounded like someone was inserting a key.
Realizing that Xiao Youran's father was home, Xu Xiuwen felt a pang of guilt.
Xiao Youran quickly urged him, "Hide quickly!"
Xu Xiuwen instinctively ran towards her room.
After hiding in Xiao Youran's room,
Xu Xiuwen finally realized:
Why was he hiding?
If it were an ordinary situation, a male classmate visiting a female classmate's house would indeed be hard to explain.
But his relationship with Xiao Youran was not ordinary.
Since childhood, he often came over to play.
So he could have openly met Xiao Youran's father and then politely excused himself to go home.
Xiao Youran's father wouldn't have suspected anything.
But now!
Because he was hiding in Xiao Youran's room, he had made the situation more complicated.
If Xiao Youran's father discovered him hiding in her room now, there would be no way to explain it away.
Xu Xiuwen was very helpless.
However, since he had already chosen to hide, he could only hide well and avoid being discovered by Xiao Youran's father.
He carefully pressed his ear against the door, listening to the sounds in the living room outside.
In the living room,
Xu Xiuwen quickly hid back in the room.
Xiao Youran, however, still stood behind the entrance, looking at the front door.
The next second, the front door opened.
Xiao Youran's father walked in from outside.
Seeing Xiao Youran, Father Xiao was momentarily stunned, then smiled and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
