Chapter 129: Wet Wipes
An Han really suspected that the system was turning her into a fox spirit.
Or maybe... a succubus?
It was the weekend. She sat uneasily on her chair, playing a game, but kept standing up and sitting down again.
The feeling of wearing a sanitary pad was still hard for her to get used to. It was said that using women’s underwear made the pad fit better and feel less uncomfortable, but since she still lived in the boys’ dorm, she couldn’t possibly wear women’s underwear right under her roommates’ noses.
As for tampons, the kind that you insert directly inside, even many girls couldn’t accept that, let alone her, a total newbie.
Well, it should be just the last day or two. She had to remember this timing. Apparently, this “monthly visitor” would come at the same time every month...
There’s no way she’d forget it, since that was also the day she completely became a woman. She bowed her head for three seconds to mourn the “death” of her little buddy...
“An Han, don’t you think there’s been a strange smell in the dorm lately?”
After finishing a game round, Wang Sheng looked at An Han’s computer screen and casually asked.
“Really?”
Of course An Han knew exactly what smell he meant, but she pretended not to. She even took a deep sniff and frowned.
“I’ve got a bit of a stuffy nose these days…”
That small frown, paired with her soft and delicate features, gave her a feminine charm that made Wang Sheng freeze for a second. His face turned red as he looked away.
“Well, that makes sense. If you’ve got a stuffy nose, you wouldn’t smell it. Probably Junjie’s socks again.”
“Your socks stink, not mine! I just washed them!”
An Han instinctively looked toward the balcony at the back door. There were a few pairs of stiff, rock-hard socks hanging there. Her mouth twitched with disgust.
Chen Junjie only washed his socks once a week. One time, they’d even gotten moldy. A nightmare she’d rather not remember.
After the three-day sports festival earlier, everyone was too exhausted to go out. So that weekend, they all stayed in the dorm playing games. Only Long Xing was acting different, he was studying hard for the English exam in December.
“Brother Long, wanna play some Infinite Firepower?”
“Come on, duo queue with me!”
“Hey! Look at this awesome move I just did!”
Long Xing kept a straight face and tried to focus on his English, but Chen Junjie’s nonstop pestering was driving him crazy.
“Stop bothering me! Let me study for one hour!”
“The three of us already passed, Brother Long! You’re the only one who didn’t!”
“I’ll definitely pass this time!”
“Forget the book! Play Infinite Firepower! Studying’s boring anyway!”
Finally, Long Xing lost his patience and glared at Chen Junjie.
“Fine, just one game!”
Sure enough, Chen Junjie dragged him back into bad habits again. Just hearing their voices, An Han could picture Long Xing’s torn expression in her mind.
There’s no study atmosphere in this dorm at all… This is definitely Chen Junjie’s fault! If it weren’t for him, the other three might have gotten research recommendations by now!
She grumbled in her head as she stood up and went to the wardrobe. Reaching inside, she pulled out two sanitary pads she’d hidden in the corner. Looking around nervously, she quickly stuffed them into her pocket.
That wardrobe had once hidden her girl clothes and shoes, and even her chest wrap. Now it was also hiding her sanitary pads… and she had never been caught!
Only the clothes had been discovered once. She’d been too nervous and moved them to her bed, and that was when Ren Chi found them during inspection.
Luckily, Wang Sheng didn’t have many clothes, they were all piled up in one corner. As long as she avoided that area, he wouldn’t notice.
She was smart too, since a whole pack of pads was hard to hide, she split them up and hid them separately...
“Hey, An Han.”
Wang Sheng’s voice suddenly came from behind her. She jumped, startled, and turned around quickly.
“This morning, I accidentally knocked down your clothes, and something fell out.”
Wang Sheng reached into his pocket and pulled out a sanitary pad, holding it out to her.
“This is yours, right?”
“......”
An Han stared at him silently, not knowing what to say.
Did Wang Sheng recognize it? If she nodded now, wouldn’t that mean she was secretly using a sanitary pad? That would definitely make him think of even more things…
But if she said it wasn’t hers, he might take the pad to Long Xing and Chen Junjie to ask about it.
Damn it! She had just been proud of herself a moment ago, and now this happened!
She pressed her lips together, quickly grabbed the pad from his hand, and stuffed it into her pocket.
At the very least, she couldn’t let the other two see it. Wang Sheng might be dumb, but at least he was easier to fool than Chen Junjie!
“It’s mine.” An Han tried to look calm, but her cheeks were already turning red.
“What is it? I’ve never seen that before.”
She had guessed right, Wang Sheng didn’t even recognize what a sanitary pad was!
In fact, if she hadn’t gone to buy and use it herself this time, even she wouldn’t have realized that the white pad-like thing she’d once seen in her mom’s bag was actually a sanitary pad. In her memory, pads were always those long, unfolded things shown in TV commercials.
“Wet wipes,” she said with a small smile.
“Wet wipes? They look like that?” Wang Sheng scratched his head, puzzled.
“It’s just fancy packaging.”
“Really?” Wang Sheng looked closely at her, feeling like she was hiding something. After all, they had been dormmates for two years. Even though An Han had changed a lot lately, that shifty look in her eyes whenever she lied was way too suspicious.
An Han forced a smile, but inside she was panicking.
Why are you so curious! Can’t you just accept that it’s a wet wipe? Go back to your game already!
She really wanted to leave, but that would only make her look more guilty.
“What’s going on?”
The sudden voice made An Han jump backward and bump into the wardrobe behind her. She frowned from the pain, then looked up. Su Peng was peeking from behind Wang Sheng.
Why is he here too?!
“Nothing,” Wang Sheng said. “An Han dropped something, and I was just wondering what it was.”
Now An Han felt even more nervous. Wang Sheng might be too much of a homebody to recognize a pad, but that didn’t mean Su Peng wouldn’t!
“Let me see?”
See my ass!
An Han’s toes curled in embarrassment. Both Su Peng and Wang Sheng were staring at her now, waiting for her to show them the pad.
Even worse, Long Xing and Chen Junjie, who were playing Infinite Firepower, were starting to glance in their direction.
It’s over…
If Su Peng didn’t recognize it, he’d probably go ask Chen Junjie. If he did recognize it… well, she’d die of embarrassment anyway.
“My stomach hurts…” she mumbled, trying to escape. But as soon as she moved, she realized she looked even more suspicious.
With her head lowered, she hesitated, then finally took out the pad from her pocket and sighed helplessly.
Maybe it would be better to just tell them the truth. At least then she wouldn’t have to keep worrying about being found out.
“Oh, that’s just a wet wipe, right?” Su Peng said casually, slinging an arm around Wang Sheng’s shoulder.
“You’re making a big deal out of nothing. I thought it was something strange.”
“It is a wet wipe?” Wang Sheng blinked.
“Of course. What else?” Su Peng dragged him back toward the desk.
“Hey, I heard opening cases in CS:GO is pretty fun. I wanna try it, help me choose a few.”
“Opening cases? Are you crazy?”
“What if I get a knife?”
Huh?
An Han blinked in confusion, completely lost.
Wait… so there really are wet wipes that look like sanitary pads?
