Chapter 699 At The Age Of Sixteen
The first time Eva had her period was when she was already sixteen years old,
while the others usually had it in between eleven or twelve.
Fortunately, she had attended physiological class, so she didn't panic.
What happened that day was still fresh in her memory.
At that time, she and Jay were eating ice cream after watching a movie. But before she could even finish eating it, her stomach suddenly ached.
"Jay, my stomach hurts so much."1 The pain made Eva wince.
"Is it because of the ice cream? Stop eating it if it makes you unwell." Worry was evident in Jay's voice when he spoke.
"Ouch, I don't know. It hurts so bad that it makes me want to vomit." This was the first time that Eva felt such pain. It was like having gastroenteritis, which was making her really uncomfortable. "I'll take you to the hospital." As soon as Jay finished his words, he threw away the ice cream and stretched out his hand to hold Eva.
However, when his hand touched her pants, he felt something sticky in his hand.
His eyes went wide when he saw his hand covered with blood.
"Eva! It's blood..."
Hearing this, Eva's face immediately heated in embarrassment.
It took Jay a little while to understand what was happening, and when he did, his eyes widened again.
"You have your period..." The moment he figured it out, his face turned even redder than Eva's.
"Yes. This is the first time I've had it. What should I do? I didn't prepare anything. This is so embarrassing. What should I do, Jay?" A hint of regret of flashed through Eva's eyes. She didn't even know where to put her hands.
Not wanting other people to see the stain on her pants, she hid behind his back.
However, there were a lot people walking on the street, so it was impossible to hide it.
Soon a man pointed at her and snickered.
"What are you laughing at? Be careful or I will break your teeth!" Then Jay waved his fists angrily at the man.
The people who were passing by laughed when they saw Eva's back.
It was embarrassing that she almost cried.
"What should I do, Jay?" Holding back her tears, Eva bit her lower lip.
It was the first time that Jay had encountered such situation, so he was also clueless. On the other hand, he couldn't help but think that being a girl was really troublesome. Fortunately, he was a man.
It was summer now, so none of them brought any jacket. There was no supermarket nearby, so he didn't know what to do. Where could he buy girls' supplies?
In the end, Jay just took off his shirt and tied it around Eva's waist. "Use my shirt to cover it for now. Let's get in the car. I'll take you to the supermarket to buy sanitary pads and pants on the way." "Okay." It might be embarrassing to admit, but Eva really had no idea what to do, so she could only listen to Jay.
Since it was summer, Jay was only wearing a shirt today.
Now that he took it off, he was topless.
Although he was still young, the muscles on his chest were already prominent because he liked working out.
For a moment, Eva was rooted to the spot, admiring his physique.
"Hey, Eva, won't you get in the car?" Seeing her reaction, Jay automatically covered his chest with his arms, although he didn't know why he was being afraid of being seen by Eva.
Shouldn't this move happen only on girls?
This thought made Eva laugh a little. "Don't hide it, Jay. I've already seen it. By the way, your skin is so fair."
"That's why I don't like to be exposed to the sun. If you want your skin to be fair, you should also avoid being under the sun for too long." Feeling uncomfortable, Jay quickly opened the door for her and helped her get in. Then he sat in the driver's seat.
"Oh, I see." As soon as Eva sat down in the passenger seat, a warm current gushed out from her body.
Eva was so frightened that she sat still and dared not move.
"Are you okay?" Upon noticing her stiffness, Jay frowned.
"No. I'm not feeling well. It kind of flows. Hurry up and drive!" This day turned out to be a disaster for Eva. How could she not be ashamed?
"Okay." Jay didn't dare to look at her again, and just drove straight to the supermarket.
When they arrived at the supermarket, he immediately bought a lot of sanitary pads. Then he asked her to go to the restroom, while he went to buy pants for her.
As soon as she was done, the two of them returned to the car, only to see the bloodstain on the passenger seat.
Both of them knew what happened, but no one dared to react out of embarrassment.
After sending Eva home, Jay went straight to a car wash and had it cleaned. It was already half past nine in the evening when got home.
He was scolded by his grandpa as soon as he arrived.
When he didn't say where he went, he was punished with two whips.
It hurt to even think about it now!
Facing Eva's expectant eyes, Jay began to panic. The past might be her best memory, but it was what he didn't want to recall the most.
She found it sweet, but to him, it only brought torture and pain.
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Jay tried to hide his uneasiness. "Ahem, I'm just going to wash my hands..."
"Okay, come back soon!" said Eva.
With a nod, he quickly walked towards the bathroom.
Not long after Jay left, Pam came over with a small birthday cake.
Every year on this day, Pam would buy the same strawberry cake for her.
"Look at the cake I bought for you. Do you like it, Eva?" After putting the cake on the table, Pam gave Eva a kiss on her forehead.
"Of course I like it. No matter what cake you buy, I will like it." It was obvious that Eva was really happy today.
And Pam knew that it was all because Jay was here.
Since she woke up this morning, she was already in a good mood, which was new.
Because normally, Pam would see Eva's red and puffy eyes every morning, indicating that she cried herself to sleep.
No matter how much it broke her heart, Pam didn't know what to do.
Remembering this, Pam took a deep breath and warned her, "Eva, you have to be fine. Do you hear me?"
"Mom, I will," replied Eva sweetly.
When Jay came back and saw Pam, he stopped subconsciously.
"Mrs. Su." It felt like he would always be nervous whenever he saw this woman.
"Sit down." Pam's voice was cold, which made Eva a little mad.
"Mom, be nice to Jay. He is our guest now. Don't be rude. Please respect my visitor."
'Tm used to it." Seeing how her daughter's mood shifted, Pam tried her best to suppress her anger towards Jay.
"I'm fine, Eva." Although Jay felt uneasy, he still sat down on the dining chair.
Frowning, Eva said, "Well, that's good. Why are you so far away from me? Come closer."
"Okay." Despite his hesitation, Jay moved his chair closer to her.
"Let's eat cake first. I won't be able to eat it after I have supper." Since Eva had been lying in bed for a long time, her digestive system had suffered irreversible damage. As a result, she could only eat very little food, or she would vomit.
"Yes, I totally agree," echoed Jay.
Before he came here, Jay had imagined how it would be like when he faced Eva. He thought that he would be completely relieved if he said sorry. However, it was not until he really had to face Eva that he realized that he could not relax at all. He spoke with so much caution, and even his smile was stiff.
