At that time, she was a few shelves deep into the library, completely immersed in her book. When she finally realized what exactly it was that she was hearing, it was too late to leave.

All she could do was continue to hide behind the shelves with a red face, covering her hears… the entire time until the two were finished, and they left…

Xia Rou hid behind the curtains and covered her ears.

However, the distance between herself and the pair wasn't far. She could even hear the squeaking of the wood…

There was a heavy log table that came with a set of six chairs placed in the middle of the reading room…

Please, let this quickly come to an end!

However, the sounds continued for quite a while.

The woman even let out a few uncontrollable screams a few times to echo through the s.p.a.cious room.

Xia Rou really couldn't stand it anymore and tried to quietly change her position. Her elbow sc.r.a.ped against the gla.s.s of the window, the sound vibrating.

The squeaking rhythm of the wood seemed to stop for a second, then starting again to become more forceful, like they were trying to break the log table.

Fortunately, it finally came to an end.

The man breathed heavily for some time, then whispering into the woman's ears. The woman let out a shocked noise, mumbling softly in response.

Very soon, there was the click of the door shutting once more.

The reading room was finally silent.

Thank G.o.d! Translated by The Novelst

Xia Rou took her hands off her ears, letting out a long sigh of relief.

She promptly s.p.a.ced out again as she began to think who it was, so annoying!

The time in the past she had never figured it out. She could only exclude Cao Xiong from the list since he had been on a business trip for the week.

Also, even though she hadn't experienced it herself… Cao Xiong was quite elderly. He couldn't be nearly so fierce anymore, right? So it could only be one of his sons.

Was it Cao Bin? That wasn't likely, as second brother was very careful about his image.

Then it would be either Cao Xing or Cao An. Of the Cao Family members, the two were considered the most l.u.s.tful when compared to the others.

Xia Rou felt that doing it in the reading room really fit their style.

From start to finish, the past life to this life, Xia Rou had never even entertained the thought that it could be Cao Yang.

Cao Yang had always been a special existence to her.

Just as Cao An had joked to Cao Yang, saying that she idolized Cao Yang - to her, Cao Yang was perfect, nearly omnipotent.

Also, she viewed him as her "big brother" and couldn't even fathom anything related to s.e.x.

To Xia Rou, Cao Yang was really set apart from all things, kept well away from dust…

The thick curtains were pulled back with a swoosh.

Xia Rou was so frightened she trembled.

She raised her head to see…

Cao Yang was in an unb.u.t.toned white s.h.i.+rt, revealing his chest. His abs were well-defined.

A sharp gaze that could cut like a knife was directed at the girl quailing behind the curtain.

When their eyes met, both were stunned.

Time seemed to freeze.

"How come it's you!" he said angrily.

Just then, he had noticed someone with them in the reading room. He wasn't embarra.s.sed that someone was there, but he was angry that someone dared to try and peek at the ongoing activities. He thought it was a worker.

So he had quickly finished, coaxing the woman to leave first. Then he wanted to see who in the world dared to do so. The salary - this person shouldn't dream of receiving it any longer.

He'd never imagined that when he pulled back the curtain, the person who had been listening to the entire time would be Xia Rou!

Xia Rou had thought it was Cao Bin, Cao Xing, and even Cao An.

But she had never thought it would be Cao Yang.

Of course, she understood that in her past, that person might not have been Cao Yang.

But… But… In this life, right now, the person… was Cao Yang!

Xia Rou felt her head buzzing.

Although Hu Xuan had told her before, and so had Cao An - any rumors about Cao Yang had always been something she had rejected right off the bat.

She tried to fit this new information into her image of Cao Yang as "big brother."

But now, she clearly felt that something deep in her heart had fallen and shattered to pieces.

Cao Yang… Her big brother had finally been taken down off his pedestal. Standing before her now, he became a living man.

At this very instant, she felt that the Cao Yang before her and the big brother of her past had developed a flaw.

She felt that something had fallen from her hands.

She couldn't bear it.

Inside her heart, she was embarra.s.sed, and awkward, but at the same time she felt wronged and depressed.

Xia Rou was also deeply afraid.

Tears began to leak from her eyes.

When Xia Rou cried, Cao Yang's heart would soften.

He had also calmed down. Translated by The Novelst

"Don't cry," he said helplessly. "It's not a big deal."

However, the reasons he was saying these things were completely off as to why Xia Rou was crying.

Her past life had been quietly scattered to the wind, and no one could help her recover it. Xia Rou couldn't explain this, so she felt even sadder.

Cao Yang was also caught in a headache.

To bring this matter up - it wasn't just Xia Rou that was awkward.

In fact, this kind of stuff was usually taught by the older female members of the family as they shared knowledge with the younger generation. But the reason Xia Rou had joined their family was because she had lost her mother. n.o.body was there to teach her about it.

In the beginning, when she first joined the family, Cao Yang had bit the bullet and asked her whether it was her first time experiencing her period.

But now he had no choice. Her s.e.x education would also have to fall to him.

Raising a girl was really so troublesome!
