Liang Yin’s tears fell even more violently. She hugged her shoulders and cried miserably.

Feeling a headache coming on, Hua Jin put a hand to his forehead. “Does it matter so much when someone looks at your body?”

“Of course it matters a lot!” Liang Yin came from a traditional family. Her parents had always taught her that girls had to have self-respect and self-love. Especially, her first night should only be given to her husband!

As for her body, it would become worthless after any man, other than her husband, looked at it!

“Now that you’ve seen my body naked, I’m worthless…” Liang Yin cried sadly, “My mother said that if another man saw my body that wasn’t my husband, my body would be defiled…”

“What era is this?” Hua Jin was unimpressed. “We’re not in a male-dominated society, and your mother still uses such backward ideas as dogma?”

Tears streamed down Liang Yin’s face.

Frustrated, Hua Jin had no choice but to humor her. “All right, stop crying.”

As he helped wipe away her tears, he said, “Who says that a girl’s body isn’t worth anything if someone sees it? A girl is only beautiful if she’s confident. Who says that a girl’s self-worth depends on this concept you mentioned? Besides, it was an accident. Can you imagine, if I refused to shower and caught a fever as a result, it would only hurt your body in the end.”

Liang Yin immediately stopped crying and looked at him in surprise. She was stunned because she had not expected him to console her so seriously.

Hua Jin added, “Besides, if you ever have a boyfriend and give him your first time, and eventually he doesn’t want you anymore, you’re not going to kill yourself just because you lost your virginity to him, are you?”

Liang Yin listened to him in silence.

“I’ve seen many people who value their chastity end up marrying a man who was clearly not suitable for them, just because he was their first man. In the end, they lived unhappily ever after.”

He continued, “Girls are better off on their own. They don’t have to depend on anyone to live. Why restrict yourself to such dogma?”

Liang Yin gradually stopped crying.

The actor stroked her head. Except that it felt really odd. After all, he was stroking his own head.

Liang Yin’s expression did not change, but her heart was stirring. She had not expected Hua Jin to be saying such things to her. All this time, her family had always taught her that a girl had to exercise restraint.

Yet the actor was telling her that girls had to be more independent. They had to know how to protect themselves, but they also had to know how to pursue their own happiness. There was no need to restrain themselves too much…

When the words sunk in and she thought about it logically, he wasn’t entirely wrong. Indeed he had no reason to want to see her body. However, he had no choice in this situation.

Liang Yin pursed her lips, feeling rather guilty. She felt that she had made a mountain out of a molehill! Although she still felt a little awkward, she gradually calmed down.

“From now on… if you want to shower, I’ll do it for you.” Liang Yin said.

Hua Jin’s lips twitched at that. “Why?”

“Because … it’s my body.”

“Oh!” He nodded, then asked meaningfully, “Shall I bathe you from now on?”

“Why?!” Liang Yin looked like she had seen a ghost and subconsciously became even more alert.
