At the moment, Peach had a secret problem, but she did not know who to discuss it with.

After entering the sixth grade, the female students in cla.s.s slowly began to develop physically. Subtle changes were observed, be it in height or body shape. Some girls would even gather together mysteriously and whisper about getting their period.

Peach looked at them in confusion. Nudging Li Tingting who was beside her, she whispered, "Did you get your period?"

Li Tingting blushed slightly and nodded, before whispering, "Mine only started during these few months. How about you?"

Peach shook her head. Although the elementary school physiology textbooks described the changes in girls' bodies during p.u.b.erty, however, without having experienced it, they were just theories.

Li Tingting looked at her thoughtfully. After thinking about it for a while, she comforted Peach, "Maybe it's because you are one year younger than us. Yours may come next year."

Was that it? Peach was full of doubt.

However, Peach felt that since the start of sixth grade, the other girls had been looking at her like they would look at a child, the same look that Shen Mochen usually had when he looked at her.

If she got her period, would it mean that she was no longer a child?

The sixth grade pa.s.sed quickly amidst Peach's antic.i.p.ation of getting her period.

Peach's graduation examination for elementary school was very easy. After all, with a free expert tutor like Shen Mochen, it would be difficult for Peach to score poorly. After successfully being admitted to the same middle school as Shen Mochen, Peach's father announced that to celebrate Peach's graduation from elementary school, the two families would take a trip to Hainan together during the summer vacation.

Growing up along the riverbank, Peach had seen the sea. Hence, Peach was ecstatic to hear the news and quickly dragged her mother and G.o.dmother to go shopping for a bathing suit.

Shen Mochen did not have much reaction when he heard the news. It just made him slightly depressed when he thought about how the celebration for his graduation examination results the previous year was them moving house.

Fourteen-year-old Shen Mochen had grown much taller, and his voice was no longer crisp and had gradually deepened. The round face that he had had in his childhood was slowly becoming sharper and more defined. Beneath a pair of handsome eyebrows, his eyes began to twinkle with a youthful brilliance.

Glancing up at Shen Mochen, who was standing beside her, Peach felt an inexplicable wave of dejection wash over her. She wondered why he had grown up so quickly, while she still looked like a child. Thinking about how her head did not even reach her shoulders and how the girls in her cla.s.s had a sudden growth spurt this year, Peach felt as if she was being left further and further behind.

"Peach." Shen Mochen's slightly deep voice sounded in her ear.

Peach pondered for a long time before finally snapping out of her daze. Shen Mochen was standing not far ahead of her, frowning as he looked at her. When did his voice lose the childlike quality that her voice still had?

Peach hurried to his side and was about to speak, when Shen Mochen reached out one of his hands to hold her soft and fleshy hand.

He nonchalantly instructed her, "Follow closely, don't get lost."

Peach looked down at his hand that was tightly gripping hers.
