Chapter 22 Those Gorgeous Underpants

  Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The moon hangs in the high black sky, with half of its face hidden, as if it's shyly covering itself up. The other half of its radiant face shines with a silver-white light, passing through the window and into Li Qiu's room. After going through the bright lamp light, only a hint of sparkle remains, printed on the back of Li Qiu who is sitting on the floor...

  Just after taking a bath, Li Qiu wore casual pants similar to sportswear. Cui Xiuying suddenly pulled them down to her knees. Cui Xiuying was taller and Li Qiu was shorter. With this sudden movement, Cui Xiuying also pushed Li Qiu onto the floor. Li Qiu sat paralyzed on the ground while Cui Xiuying buried herself in her own thighs.

  Choi Soo-young didn't feel much pain from the fall, thanks to Lee Choo's legs acting as a cushion. What she felt more was comfort, but her cheek was pressed against something hot and it made her uncomfortable. She lifted her head, opened her eyes, and saw that a pair of shorts were being propped up by something. Suddenly, Choi Soo-young's brain short-circuited. She wasn't a 7 or 8-year-old kid anymore; she was 13 this year. Girls mature early, and there are some things they understand more than boys do. Anyway, she understood what that thing was. "So it's this thing that's been pressing against me before meals..."

  Damn it! Li Qiu is so frustrated now! His casual pants were pulled down to his knees by Cui Xiuying, and the scene from before dinner until now has been replaying in his mind, making him feel even more frustrated. And now, there's a girl lying on his lap, separated only by a pair of white briefs, closely observing this situation... how can he not be frustrated?

  "Get up already!"

  ……

  With this unexpected event, Choi Soo-young was also stunned and was driven out of the room by Lee Qiu to go back to her own room to sleep. This quietness only temporarily calmed Lee Qiu down, as something even more embarrassing happened...

  At 5 am, Li Qiu woke up. Why did she wake up? Couldn't sleep? No, it was because of the chill - Li Qiu silently got out of bed, found a clean triangle-shaped underwear, changed into it and went to wash her underpants... for the first time in 14 years, getting up at dawn to wash her underpants.

  I think most boys around that age have had this experience. At this age, it's easy for these things to happen, especially when you're teased before going to bed and feel like you're on fire. At 5 am, the whole house was quiet, Li Qiu felt very embarrassed, in order to quickly wash away this shame, he didn't go downstairs, but instead went straight to the bathroom on the second floor, not daring to turn on the light, facing the moonlight shining in from the window, and washed his underwear like that. This even more embarrassing thing happened right here, precisely because of his awkwardness, precisely because he didn't turn on the light...

  At this time BoA should be back in Yokohama!

  BoA finished recording a show in Yokohama and it was already dawn. In the evening, she received a call from Kim Min-young and learned that Lee Chul had returned from Kurashiki. After some thought, since her schedule for the day was also in Tokyo and she disliked the hotel bed which felt like an ice coffin, she decided to head back home immediately. When she arrived home, it was already past 5 am. In order not to disturb others who were resting, BoA quietly entered the house. After a busy day, BoA was very tired and just wanted to take a bath to wash away the greasiness all over her body and then sleep comfortably. Her thoughts were normal and couldn't be blamed, but she didn't think that...

  Boa walked quietly back to her room, making no particularly loud noise. She went into the bathroom and found a set of clothes, then headed towards the bathroom. Boa's footsteps were very light, so light that they almost made no sound at all. As soon as she pushed open the bathroom door, she discovered a short figure holding a pale-colored triangle-shaped underwear, staring at it in the moonlight, occasionally bringing her nose up to sniff it!

  There are two bathrooms in this house. The one on the second floor is reserved for Boa and Choi Soo-young, those two girls. Lee Chiu, who lives on the second floor, also goes downstairs to take a bath. Moreover, Lee Chiu's body is short and small, not yet grown up, so his underwear won't be very big. When he hangs it up, in the dimly lit bathroom, through the window, the moonlight shines in, just like a perverted man secretly peeking at women's underwear...

  "Little Autumn, what are you doing? How can you do such a thing?" Boa recognized Li Qiu at a glance and was deeply grieved by his appearance. The thought of being disappointed in him surged up instantly. When she first met him, she felt that Li Qiu was a pitiful person, and the words he said that night had touched her heart deeply. So, for so long, she had treated him like a younger brother, hoping he could walk out of his past shadow. Since the incident in the practice room, she thought she had succeeded, and Li Qiu had slowly integrated into this family. But tonight, this guy had secretly entered the bathroom she shared with Xiu Ying, stealing underwear and even sniffing it with his nose...

  "Bang!" The light turned on, and the entire bathroom was suddenly illuminated. Li Qiu had just finished washing his underwear and was checking if there were any remaining stains when he froze, still holding the underwear in his hands, which he forgot to put down. He turned his face towards the bathroom door, where Boa was standing with a set of clothes in her arms, looking at him with complex eyes that seemed to be welling up with tears. Li Qiu's cheeks instantly flushed, like a ripe tomato...

  "Good sister......" Li Qiu was so embarrassed! He looked at the underwear he was holding, which now seemed particularly luxurious and shiny. At this moment, he wanted to die. How could he not know that Boa had misunderstood him? "It's not what you think..."

  "What's going on? I saw it with my own eyes, can I be wrong? Xia Qiu, I'm so disappointed in you!" She was the youngest child in the family from the start, and had been away from her family since she was a child, rushing to Japan to pursue her dreams. Tears seemed to have nothing to do with her, but now, seeing Li Qiu like this, she really cried...

  Li Qiu's rosy cheeks instantly fell, and her redness turned pale as Boa's tears dropped at that moment. "Boa sister, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, it's really not what you think, this is my underwear..."

  "Stop making excuses! When did your underwear ever appear in our bathroom?" Who's so bored that they'd sniff their own underwear? Boa didn't believe this was really his underwear...

  "It's really mine, you see, white, male..." and so on. Xiu Ying's underwear was also white! This... it seems that from the color alone, it can't be distinguished! Honestly, this underwear is really indistinguishable as to whether it belongs to a man or woman, although it's pure white, without any pink prints and all that. Li Qiu wanted to say that this was truly his, but looking at this unisex underwear, he didn't know how to explain.

  "Even if it's yours, how did it end up in the bathroom..." Okay, I believe this is your underwear, but didn't you know that this bathroom is exclusively for me and Soo-young?

  "I, I, washing underwear..."

  "Doing laundry?" This reason is a bit absurd, right? Who gets up at 5 am just to do laundry. Doing laundry? Wait, suddenly, Boa thought of a reason, and the tears in her eyes immediately stopped! Her originally complicated expression immediately relaxed, her cheeks flushed red, and she looked at Li Qiu, "First time?"

  "This is the first time! Really!" Li Qiu swore, this really was the first time!

  At this time, the situation has changed. Li Qiu is eager to get Boa's forgiveness; while Boa, however, at 5 o'clock in the morning, suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing through the quiet house...

  "You go out first and wait for me on the balcony, I'll talk to you after I finish my bath." This question, can't it make her awkward? She's already 17 years old this year, she understands more things than Qiu Li does, as her sister, although it's very embarrassing, but it's necessary to popularize some knowledge in this aspect.

  "Yes, older sister Boa." Li Qiu tightly clutched that especially luxurious underwear into a ball, lowered her head and hastily ran out of the bathroom.
