Chapter 2351: Chapter 2415: A Normal Occurrence

Li Yifei encountered an unexpected event, or rather, once he learned about it, he was somewhat bewildered. It happened after Chen Junxiao knocked on his door early in the morning. Li Yifei closed his work, walked over, and opened the door, finding the little girl with a flushed face, looking embarrassed. Li Yifei asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Uncle... Uncle, I... I’ve run into something," the little girl said, twisting her hands together, appearing very conflicted.

Li Yifei saw her expression, smiled, and asked, "What’s the matter? Tell Uncle, don’t be afraid."

"You... I... please go take a look, I’m really scared!" Chen Junxiao almost started crying. Li Yifei quickly, worriedly, grabbed her hand and walked into her bedroom across the hall.

"Look where?"

"It’s... it’s on the bed!" Chen Junxiao said.

Li Yifei was a bit puzzled, but still walked to the side of the bed. Although there was nothing unusual on the bed, he sniffed the air and seemed to catch a scent of blood. He quickly lifted the quilt to find a few patches of crimson bloodstains on the sheets. Seeing the bloodstains, Li Yifei’s heart initially jumped, and he instinctively turned his head to look at Chen Junxiao.

The little girl was already worried and frightened. Seeing Li Yifei’s expression, she became even more tense and admitted, "Uncle, am I going to die? I don’t know what happened, I just started bleeding!"

Li Yifei vaguely guessed a certain possibility but still asked, "Don’t be anxious, tell Uncle where the bleeding is coming from?"

"It’s... it’s here!" Chen Junxiao pointed at herself. Upon seeing this, Li Yifei let out a long sigh of relief, patted Chen Junxiao’s little head, and said, "It’s alright, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. Uh... Uncle is a man, so it’s a bit inconvenient. Let me call your Sister Hu over to explain it to you; don’t worry, it’s not a disease, and it won’t kill you!"

"Then... what is it? Why am I bleeding like this?" Although Li Yifei said it was nothing, Chen Junxiao was still very concerned, her small face full of worry, tears brimming.

"This..." Li Yifei patted his head and said, "It’s a good thing; having this means you’re growing up!"

"Growing up?" Chen Junxiao was still confused. Li Yifei had to say, "Yes, growing up. You wait here for a while, and I’ll call Sister Hu over. You’ll understand once she explains it!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Only then did Chen Junxiao let go of his hand, allowing Li Yifei to go upstairs, but her small face was still filled with anxiety.

Li Yifei quickly rushed upstairs and knocked on Hu Yu’er’s room door. After a moment, a groggy voice came from inside as if she was still asleep. Li Yifei then said, "There’s a bit of a situation, need your help."

"What situation?" Hu Yu’er rubbed her eyes and sat up; she was a bit cranky when getting up, especially since it was barely six in the morning. Chen Junxiao, needing to hurry to the sea, was accustomed to waking up early, and Li Yifei had also been waking up early lately.

But since it was Li Yifei calling her, the crankiness from waking up was manageable. Rubbing her eyes, Hu Yu’er opened the door. Just as Li Yifei was about to speak, he suddenly stopped, his gaze inadvertently shifting to a certain spot. Hu Yu’er was wearing a thin nightgown with a low neckline that exposed more than expected, making it a sight to behold from Li Yifei’s perspective.

Hu Yu’er saw Li Yifei not speaking and followed his gaze to understand, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, yet she didn’t shy away. Since she had already been seen, she carried herself confidently, merely pulling up her nightgown. But doing so meant the already short gown was insufficient at the hem, barely reaching her thighs. Li Yifei’s eyes misbehaved, glancing at her tightly pressed together legs, their white skin very captivating.

Having seen this, Li Yifei quickly averted his gaze. Hu Yu’er glanced at him and asked, "What do you need?"

"It’s like this... well, Junxiao just came to me. I reckon she’s experiencing her first period and doesn’t quite understand, scared to death. So she hurried over to find me. I’m... a guy, it’s really inconvenient. So you... help her check, and explain the physiological knowledge." Li Yifei spoke quickly and Hu Yu’er understood, feeling amused and slightly helpless.

When Li Yifei spoke, his slightly panicked manner reminded her of a memory. When she was a child and had her first period, she was scared witless too, running to her dad, which gave him a scare. Once he confirmed what it was, he rushed to find her mom to explain it to her.

"Alright, I’ll go talk to her. You go have a shower, and also shave. I put a razor in your bathroom last night," Hu Yu’er smiled.

"I’ll shave, you go talk to her, tell her everything directly!" Li Yifei said.

Hu Yu’er playfully glared at him, pushed his shoulder aside, and walked downstairs. As she walked, Li Yifei saw the two rounded cheeks moving, this nightgown’s design was indeed... quite something. From the front it was fine, but from the back it was clearly designed for allure.

However, someone going to explain things to Chen Junxiao was better than doing it himself. Li Yifei quickly returned to his room, showering, washing his face, and shaving. Coming out again, he looked much more refreshed.

Meanwhile, Hu Yu’er had also explained everything clearly, had the bed linens changed, and was helping Chen Junxiao with a shower.

Li Yifei heard this from outside, so he said he’d wait downstairs, feeling much more at ease. Clearly, Hu Yu’er really cared for Chen Junxiao, and her personality seemed decent enough at present. Entrusting the little girl to her left Li Yifei feeling no qualms.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Junxiao came downstairs, cheeks red. She saw Li Yifei, walked over with her head bowed, and said, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Thank your Sister Hu. Uncle will be going home in a few days, but I’ll visit in the future. You must study hard, but don’t overexert yourself; work within your capacity. Whatever your abilities, exert as much effort. Don’t push too hard. Both Sister Hu and I hope you can grow up healthily and enjoy a normal childhood like other kids!" Li Yifei said.

Chen Junxiao nodded firmly, saying, "Uncle, I understand, but I want to seize this opportunity. I’m lucky to have you and Sister Hu supporting me, so I can’t miss this chance."

"Good, have ambition; keep going, Uncle believes in you!" Li Yifei said.

Just then, the already dressed Hu Yu’er came downstairs, overhearing their conversation, and said, "I’ve had breakfast prepared. We can enjoy it now, and after breakfast... I might need to step out. You two stay home; I should be back tomorrow, or maybe even later today, can’t say for sure."

"Where to?" Li Yifei casually asked.

Hu Yu’er paused, then said, "Got to visit the provincial city, discuss some matters with people!"

Seeing Hu Yu’er’s expression, Li Yifei said, "If it’s troublesome, take me with you if necessary!"

Hu Yu’er looked at Li Yifei, smiled with pursed lips, brushed her fringe aside, and gently said, "I will, if there’s trouble, I’ll tell you!"

Hu Yu’er initially wanted to say what help could he offer, given her troubles were extremely difficult to handle for her. Even though Li Yifei could fight and had skills, in such matters, he lacked the capability to help. However, as she was about to speak, she chose not to undermine Li Yifei and said this instead.

Li Yifei nodded, saying, "Alright, be safe."

"I’ll be back soon, you two... no need to worry. Have fun at home, if you want to go out, feel free to take any car from the garage, I’ve informed them." Hu Yu’er said.

Li Yifei nodded, escorting Hu Yu’er to the gate, watching her car drive off into the distance. Then he turned and took Chen Junxiao’s hand, walking back. But when he turned around, Li Yifei saw the security guard who had intercepted him twice. He nodded and smiled at the guard, who now had a significantly different attitude, removing his cap, saying, "Mr. Li, about before..."

"It’s alright, let’s have a drink together one day!" Li Yifei said.

The security guard was flattered, yet it was difficult for him too; who could have guessed that someone selling fish would quickly become the most important guest of the lady? Had he known beforehand, he wouldn’t have stopped him for anything.

Returning home, Chen Junxiao’s teacher arrived, invited by Hu Yu’er to help her with tutoring. The little girl’s English foundation was nearly nonexistent; if she were to enter middle school, English would need to be well learned, as it is quite important, even in Huaxia. Other subjects also seemed to need some improvement now.

Li Yifei went back to his room, continuing his meditation practice.

At noon, during a call with family, Xu Yingying reminded him of a matter: the Worm issue. They previously investigated in Peng City, but after that, the trail vanished, and the reclusive family also disappeared. Currently, being in Southern Sky Province, Peng City lay within it, only a three-hour drive from where he was.

So, should he try finding them? Rubbing his face, Li Yifei pondered. Peng City was an open port city, a municipality, with a population over ten million and vast urban area. Could simply going there to search for a family be too difficult?

After locating Peng City, investigations had stagnated for a while. Heading there now might not reveal anything new.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei shook his head, muttering to himself: "Let’s forget it, the Worms appear to have good and bad sides. At a crucial moment, they really can be helpful. Resolving it now seems unnecessarily harsh."

Putting down his phone, Li Yifei stepped out because he had already heard Chen Junxiao calling him.
