Chapter 242: First Love

Zhou Yuan pushed open the door to his room, and Xiao Mei exclaimed "Ah!" and looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise.

"What's wrong, Xiaomei?"

"So many books? More than in my dad's study."

"Oh, really? That can't be right. Your uncle should be a professor, shouldn't he?"

"Yes."

"I understand." Zhou Yuan suddenly became excited, as if he had discovered something fun.

"Brother Zhou, what do you know?"

"I understand, Uncle doesn't need that many bookshelves."

"why?"

"Xiaomei, your father left all the books here."

Zhou Yuan pointed to his head, and Xiao Mei chuckled, "Hmm, maybe. I'll go back and ask my parents."

Xiao Mei walked towards the rows of bookshelves, randomly picked out a thick, yellowed book from one of them, and saw that it was "Advanced Mathematics" on the cover. She quickly put the book back in, walked a little further, picked out another book, saw that it was "Quantum Physics" on the cover, and quickly put it back in.

"Brother Zhou, why are all these books yellowed?"

"These are all old books. I found them myself at scrap yards, secondhand bookstores, and secondhand book markets."

"No wonder my older brother is a top student from the best university in the country. I get a headache just looking at books."

"Hehe, I just enjoy reading."

"Xiaomei, what's your building number and apartment number?"

"Brother, let me write this to you."

After saying that, Xiaomei walked to the desk, took the paper and pen that Zhou Yuan handed her, and bent down. Suddenly, Zhou Yuan saw Xiaomei's snow-white, plump breasts exposed. The thin, cicada-wing-like clothes clung to Xiaomei's curvaceous and graceful figure. He immediately felt a rush of heat to his head and a surge of hot blood to his nose.

Zhou Yuan quickly pulled out a tissue from the table, wiped his nose, and then stuffed the tissue into his nose.

Xiao Mei didn't notice anything amiss; she was just writing diligently on the paper. Zhou Yuan focused his attention on Xiao Mei's beautiful hair.

"Brother Zhou, it's finished. Take a look." Xiao Mei stood up and was surprised to see that Zhou Yuan's nose was stuffed with paper.

Xiao Mei quickly had Zhou Yuan hook his two middle fingers together, then faced Zhou Yuan, bent down slightly, and gently pulled out the paper ball. She then used her little finger to gently remove the blood clot from his nose. Xiao Mei's nose was almost touching Zhou Yuan's face, and Zhou Yuan smelled a faint fragrance.

Xiao Mei asked Zhou Yuan to tilt his head forward slightly, and then, using her fingers to press down on the soft part of Zhou Yuan's nose that was bleeding, she pressed down on it. The two remained motionless. Zhou Yuan felt his heart pounding and his breathing becoming heavy. Xiao Mei's ears also began to turn red.

"Xiaomei, how long will this take?"

"Brother Zhou, it will take at least five minutes."

"Oh."

Zhou Yuan's mother looked through the window at her son and Xiao Mei's strange behavior. After a closer look, she realized that Xiao Mei was trying to stop her son's nosebleed. Zhou Yuan was facing the window and saw his mother's sly smile, which made his heart pound even harder. Zhou Yuan could only look out the window.

It felt like ages had passed when I heard Xiaomei say, "Brother Zhou, it's all done. Let me wash you."

After saying that, Xiao Mei turned away and walked towards the washroom without waiting for Zhou Yuan's consent. Zhou Yuan quickly followed behind Xiao Mei, pointed to the towel, and Xiao Mei turned on the water and started rubbing the towel. Then she took Zhou Yuan's towel and carefully wiped Zhou Yuan's nose. Then she went into the washroom to wash the towel again and used it to wipe Zhou Yuan's nose again. She wiped Zhou Yuan's face and hands for the third time.

It seems that nurses have their advantages; Xiaomei is very efficient at doing these things.

"Son, what's wrong?" Zhou Yuan's mother pretended to have just returned.

Xiao Mei blushed slightly, walked into the washroom, washed Zhou Yuan's towel, and put it back in its place.

"I just had a nosebleed."

"I think you're feeling a bit feverish. Xiaomei, thank you so much."

"Auntie, I'll write down some nourishing recipes for Brother Zhou later. You can try them. It's too hot to take strong tonics in this weather."

"Oh, I really didn't know. Thank you, Xiaomei."

"You're welcome, Auntie."

After saying that, Xiaomei went into Zhou Yuan's room, took out another piece of paper, and started writing on it. She finished writing in a short while.

Zhou Yuan took the two pieces of paper that Xiao Mei handed him and looked at them carefully. One of them was her detailed home address, including her home phone number, courtyard number, building number, unit number, etc. The other one looked like a prescription, with the type of supplement and dosage. However, the handwriting on Xiao Mei's prescription this time was neat and beautiful, unlike the handwriting in hospitals.

Zhou Yuan tucked the two pieces of paper between the pages of a book by his bedside.

"Brother Zhou, does your aunt give you chicken soup every day?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"These are quite nourishing, but you definitely won't be able to stand the heat. In hot weather, eat something mild and nourishing, not too strong. This recipe is good for hot weather. Supermarkets and pharmacies usually have it."

"Okay, thank you then."

"Don't mention it, Brother Zhou."

After saying that, the two left Zhou Yuan's room.

Xiao Mei raised her hand and looked at her watch; it was almost 11 a.m.

"Auntie, don't bother, I have to report to my workplace at 12 o'clock and start work in the afternoon."

"Xiaomei, have lunch before you go, it'll be ready soon."

"Auntie, really, no need, thank you, maybe next time."

Zhou Yuan's mother came out of the kitchen. "Oh, I can't accept that. Don't bring any gifts next time you come."

"Auntie, it's my pleasure to visit for the first time."

"Xiaomei, why don't you have lunch before you leave? Don't you need to eat at work too?"

"No, Brother Zhou, I'll try Auntie's cooking another day."

"Okay then, come often in the future."

"Okay, Auntie."

The three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard. The sun was blazing, and Xiaomei picked up a parasol and set it up.

"Don't bother seeing me off, I know the way."

"Son, why don't you take Xiaomei home? There are so many alleyways. Let me check the soup in the pot."

"Okay, Mom."

Zhou Yuan and Xiao Mei started walking towards the main road. Although Xiao Mei was half a head shorter than Zhou Yuan, they looked about the same height. Zhou Yuan was 1.86 meters tall.

Xiao Mei held the umbrella, tilting almost half of it towards Zhou Yuan.

The two remained silent. On such a hot day, most of the neighbors were in their own houses, except for a few children playing games.

When the children saw Zhou Yuan and Xiao Mei coming over, they politely greeted them, "Hello, big brother and big sister."

Xiao Mei looked at the children, held up an umbrella in her right hand, squatted down, and asked a little girl, "Little girl, you're so cute, what's your name?" Xiao Mei patted the little girl's head; the little girl had a ponytail.

"Big sister, my name is Xiaomin, what's yours?"

"My name is Xiaomei. Little sister, I have something to do, I'll come over and chat with you another day."

"Okay, big sister."

Suddenly a little boy said, "Big sister, how about you and Brother Zhou have a little sister? That way we can play house with her."

Xiao Mei blushed, and Zhou Yuan touched the little boy's face. "Okay, Xiao Tong." Xiao Mei's face turned bright red, and she was too shy to look at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and Xiao Mei happened to see it. Xiao Mei couldn't help but smile too.

"Brother Zhou, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

“I like them all. My mom keeps saying she wants a grandson, I guess she wants one.”

"Hehe, having a grandson is just a general term."

"No, I know my mom's way of thinking."

You mean carrying on the family line?

"Yes, anything else?"

"It's not Auntie's fault; people in our country are like that. After all, men are the main driving force for social development."

Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Mei, "Big brother, did I say something wrong?"

"No, that's very well said. I wonder if the Western Kingdom is like that too?"

"The Western Lands are nothing like that. Just look at my brother. The Western Lands are open-minded, technologically advanced, and people are bold, responsible, and adventurous. We in the Eastern Lands seek stability, development, wealth, and power. Do you know how many girlfriends my brother had in school?"

How many?

"Take a guess."

"Three...three?" Zhou Yuan stammered.

“Eight!” After saying that, Xiao Mei spread her left index finger and thumb and waved them in front of Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded. Xiao Mei saw Zhou Yuan's wide-eyed, dumbfounded look and burst out laughing.

"No... no way?"

"It's true, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

"What did your parents say?"

“My parents can’t control him, since the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. My brother told me that he’s planning to find another one.”

"Aren't the Western countries far too open-minded?"

"Yes, my brother said that this is very common in the Western Kingdom. As long as they are not married, young men and women can do whatever they want."

"Let's not talk about that. Are we almost there? Where did you park your car?"

"See that little shop? It's over there." Xiao Mei pointed, and Zhou Yuan nodded. He saw a beautiful red car.

A moment later, the two reached the car, and Xiaomei folded her umbrella. Zhou Yuan opened the driver's side door for her. Xiaomei felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, glanced around, and seeing no one, just as Zhou Yuan turned around after opening the door, Xiaomei suddenly closed her eyes and planted a big kiss on his cheek. Zhou Yuan was stunned. Xiaomei opened her eyes, her shy expression adorable, while Zhou Yuan stood there dumbfounded.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yuan suddenly realized what was happening and moved away from the car door.

"Brother, you should take this umbrella home. It's too hot; be careful not to get sunburned."

"Xiaomei, I'm fine. Sunbathing is good for men's health."

"You should keep it." Xiaomei stuffed the umbrella into Zhou Yuan's hand. "Just bring it to my house next time you visit."

"What about you?"

"I'm fine. I'm wearing sunglasses, and you can't use an umbrella while driving."

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and Xiao Mei smiled too.

"Okay then, drive carefully. Drive slowly, don't rush."

"Okay, goodbye, big brother."

"Goodbye."

Xiao Mei got into the car and waved to Zhou Yuan, who waved back.

"Brother Zhou, remember to come to my house on July 18th. See you there!"

"Got it. See you there."

Zhou Yuan closed the car door for Xiao Mei, who started the car. Zhou Yuan moved a little further away from the car, and after a while, Xiao Mei straightened the car. Zhou Yuan came to the left side of the car, and the two waved goodbye again. Xiao Mei kept looking at Zhou Yuan in the rearview mirror. Zhou Yuan, holding an umbrella, was still staring blankly at the car driving away. Xiao Mei felt sweet inside, savoring the bold kiss she had just given him.

Zhou Yuan touched his face, then his nose, and opened Xiao Mei's floral umbrella, as if the umbrella itself had a faint fragrance.

That night, Zhou Yuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
