"What? Are you playing me?" Xia Chunyu was indignant.
"Shhh! Let me finish talking." Ye Jiayao covered his mouth. She saw his red nose and immediately thought of how he rushed out to Mr. Liu on the other side of the village. He must’ve taken the long route, allowing everybody to see his nose. She suddenly felt ashamed. Everyone must’ve known that she was the one who bit him because no one else would dare to do that. Even the furious black dog that second brother was raising was afraid of Chunyu!
"I... I have a period." Ye Jiayao spoke so softly she wasn't even sure if she heard herself.
"Huh? What?" Xia Chunyu frowned, not really understanding, or hearing, what she said.
"It's that, you know, that thing that women have every month."
Menstruation! This was why she didn't want to explain this to a guy! If they were in the modern days, she could easily ask for a casual leave from the class teacher without this psychological burden.
