Gu Mingxi, your toenails have gotten long.

What’s done cannot be undone. Pang Qian finally understood what that phrase meant. She thought she just had to eat until she was full and that was all. As if being tortured by the teacher in school all day wasn’t enough, she also had to go over to Gu Mingxi’s house in the evenings and suffer. After five nights of doing homework at Gu Mingxi’s, Pang Qian suggested she stop going, but Gu Mingxi wouldn’t allow it.

“No,” he said solemnly. “I didn’t realize that your foundation was so bad. Pang Pang, how much time do you usually spend on homework each day?”

Pang Qian couldn’t answer. Her evenings usually went like this: Watch an episode of a cartoon after school. Then eat dinner. After she ate, she would flip through a magazine– The metals company would give their employees some money each year to order some newspapers or magazines. In the Pang household, Pang Shuisheng ordered the E City Evening Press, and then also ordered two monthly comics for Pang Qian.

It was usually past 7 o’clock when she finished going through the magazines. Her TV shows started then. Pang Qian always dallied and lied in her parents’ room to watch TV dramas. It wasn’t until Pang Shuisheng finally asked her, “Did you finish your homework?” that she would gloomily return to her room.

She’d spend an hour randomly doing her homework, and then she’d wash up and get ready for bed.

Even before sleeping, she wasn’t entirely honest. She would tell her mom that she wanted to listen to her English cassettes, but her cassette player was already broken. She could only listen to the radio with it. Pang Qian would hide under her covers, ears plugged, listening to various music programs. Occasionally, she would listen to “Warm Harbor” at 10 o’clock.

A lot of people called in to the host, sharing all about the troublesome things in their life. Sometimes they would ask health questions. Pang Qian’s unprecedented curiosity would burst forth at that point. She would listen attentively to the callers’ questions, even though there were a lot of questions she didn’t understand.

There was one question that she’d heard asked many times before, but she could never figure out quite what it meant. So she took advantage of her time going to school with Gu Mingxi to humbly ask him.

“Gu Mingxi, do you know what a wet dream is?”

Gu Mingxi was steering with his shoulders on the metal contraption. After hearing Pang Qian’s question, his bike swerved, and he immediately braked with his right foot, stopping the bicycle in its tracks.

Pang Qian was also startled. After she stopped her bike, she noticed Gu Mingxi’s complexion was a bit strange. His cheeks were completely flushed. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Gu Mingxi started peddling his bike. Pang Qian chased after him, asking, “You didn’t answer my question. What’s a wet dream?”

Gu Mingxi’s response was slightly muffled, “Don’t know.”

“…” Pang Qian felt that he was just putting on airs. She pouted, not too happy. Then she asked, “Then… Then do you know what premature ejaculation is? Or nocturnal penile tumescence (colloq. morning wood)?”

Gu Mingxi was getting stressed about it, and shouted at Pang Qian, “I don’t know! You’re being so ridiculous! If you have the time to ask these kinds of questions, why don’t you do a few more math problems?!”
