Chapter 1073: Jiaojiao is a Big Girl Now (2)
Young girls tend to feel shy when encountering such things, and Jiaojiao is no exception.
However, compared to how she treats Ruan Jie and others, she is slightly more relaxed, albeit still embarrassed, as she calls out to Zhao Li: "Godmother..."
Zhao Li smiled and handed her the prepared items: "Go inside and change, and also swap out the dirty clothes."
Jiaojiao, blushing, took the items into the bathroom. Once everything was sorted, she looked at the dirty clothes set aside, feeling conflicted. Chen Tingting’s earlier commotion had mortified her, and there was no way she’d let anyone touch her dirty clothes now.
But her stomach still hurt, in bouts, and she lacked the energy to wash them, so she balled up the clothes into a corner and covered them with a towel before opening the door.
"All set?" Zhao Li asked outside.
Jiaojiao nodded, her lips still pale, the stomach pain causing her to hunch over and curl up.
Normally, it wouldn’t hurt so much. Seeing Jiaojiao’s face so pallid from the pain, Zhao Li felt a pang of sympathy. After helping her lie down on the bed, she lifted the corner of Jiaojiao’s shirt and placed her hand inside, her expression turning grave upon touching.
"Why is it so cold?" It’s still summer, so the human body should feel warm, yet Zhao Li could distinctly feel the chill when she placed her hand on Jiaojiao’s stomach.
Zhao Li wanted to inquire further, but footsteps came from outside, followed by a knock on the door.
"Mom, how is Jiaojiao?" asked Lu Xian’s voice.
Zhao Li had to cover Jiaojiao’s clothes, then got up to open the door. The three big boys outside looked somewhat awkward, yet in their concern for their sister, they thickened their skin to inquire about her situation.
