A Young Woman's Heart

"The lump hasn't subsided yet, it will continue to develop. Although it's developing later than others, the development speed is still relatively normal." Yunmeng nodded, threw the disposable gloves into the trash can, and then threw the tweezers and other tools into the plastic bin waiting for recycling. "Okay, the physical examination is complete. Now go get your blood drawn to check if your hormone levels are normal."

"Phew..." Mo Xueyao let out a long breath, her face slightly flushed as she sat up in bed. She subconsciously always forgot the time for her check-up, largely because the time spent lying in bed was always too agonizing. "Would it be helpful to get blood drawn now? Shouldn't they be off work by now?"

"It's okay, just go to the emergency department to have it drawn. Just say it's the one Yunmeng mentioned, and they'll do it for you right away. The results will be available within an hour."

"oh oh……"

Pushing open the door, Mo Xueyao found that Dr. Wang and his daughter were not outside. She looked around for a while, but did not continue searching, as she wanted to go home for dinner as soon as possible.

"Hopefully I can get there before seven o'clock..."

When she was little, she was actually afraid of having blood drawn because it felt very painful.

But back then, her parents often said, "How can a real man be afraid of pain?" So she started to learn to endure it, and gradually, she seemed to stop feeling the pain.

Dark red blood was quickly drawn into the syringe, and a small cotton ball was pressed onto the injection site.

"Throw it away in three minutes, and come back to pick up the form in half an hour. That was arranged by Dr. Yunmeng, right?"

"Ah, right... so fast." Mo Xueyao pressed the cotton ball on her arm and backed away. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go back to her office first.

The office was rather empty, and Yunmeng wasn't there either. Curious, she went in and looked around. Just as she was about to sit down and wait for someone, she saw Dr. Wang push the door open and walk in.

"Okay, you don't need to stand up, just sit down."

"oh oh……"

"Dr. Yunmeng has gone home from get off work. Do you want dinner? I'll have Mingming buy you some."

"No need... we can eat at home later."

"That works too, how about a Coke?"

"Isn't it unhealthy?" Mo Xueyao wanted to drink it, but she still found an excuse to politely decline.

"Haha, what's the big deal? Just don't drink it too often." He said, then shouted towards the door, "Mingming, go downstairs and buy two bottles of Coke!"

"Okay!" Wang Jiaoming, who was just about to enter the room, walked away again with her footsteps.

"Do doctors drink cola too?" Mo Xueyao asked curiously.

"Of course I drink it! I loved drinking this stuff when I was young, but it wasn't so easy to buy back then," Dr. Wang laughed. "Who doesn't like something delicious?"

"Hmm, I thought you guys would be very health-conscious..."

"It depends on personal habits. I personally think being happy is more important—just don't overindulge." He smacked his lips, as if recalling the taste of cola. "Usually, after major surgery, I'll have an ice-cold cola. Tsk tsk, that feeling is simply indescribable."

"Oh..." She could understand it a little better now.

"Next, we're going to do a psychological test. It's very simple, with two parts. The first part is a questionnaire with only one hundred questions. You can choose according to your instinctive thoughts. The second part is looking at some pictures, which we'll talk about later."

"it is good……"

A hundred multiple-choice questions were nothing to Mo Xueyao. Not to mention those that could be answered without thinking, she wasn't afraid of math tests that required logical thinking at all.

Wang Jiaoming quickly returned with three bottles of cola. She sat quietly beside her father, without disturbing Mo Xueyao, who was rapidly choosing her answer.

"Finish!"

"Soon?"

"It's alright, it's not a very difficult question." Mo Xueyao cleared her throat and looked at her, asking, "It's Friday today, don't you have school?"

"School gets out early."

"Oh...so you came along to play?"

"Yes, there are other things to do, but I also wanted to see you."

"See me?"

"Because I'm really curious!"

Mo Xueyao gave a helpless twitch of her lips, feeling once again like she was being used as a guinea pig.

"I want to be a psychologist when I grow up," she added. "Maybe you can come to me sometime!"

"Oh...we'll talk about it later..." Mo Xueyao replied very perfunctorily.

Dr. Wang was calculating the scores on the questionnaire and quickly came up with an answer.

With only a score of forty-something, it would obviously be a failing grade in an exam.

But here, the score is not used to judge merit or demerit, but rather to judge psychological state.

"How about it?"

"No rush." ​​He kept everyone in suspense and turned on the projector in the office.

A slide title popped up on the white screen, reading 'Image Test' in large letters.

Dr. Wang turned his head slightly to look at Mo Xueyao: "Next, we will look at a few sets of pictures. You don't need to say anything, just look at them."

"Just watch...? Okay." Mo Xueyao frowned slightly and nodded with a puzzled look on her face.

The slideshow began to play slowly under Dr. Wang's control, with each slide lingering for about thirty seconds.

It started out very ordinary, just some flowers, trees, mountains and lakes, and then some large buildings, statues, and some exquisite utensils and handicrafts.

Then came all sorts of animals, some ferocious and terrifying, some cute and docile, and some that don't exist in reality—seemingly images taken from movies.

Mo Xueyao's favorite picture was of a tiger pinning down a deer, with blood flowing from its mouth, revealing the cruelty of the survival of the fittest, but also a kind of wild beauty.

Then came pictures of plush toys, BJD dolls, and the like. Some of them were quite cute, which drew her attention slightly.

"Wow..." A particularly cool matte blue sports car came into view, and she finally couldn't help but whisper, "So cool...!"

Dr. Wang glanced at her sideways, smiled, and nodded.

In fact, even Wang Jiaoming seemed to be observing her expression intentionally or unintentionally.

Then came pictures of various vehicles and weapons.

Just as Mo Xueyao was still enjoying herself, a picture of a completely naked man suddenly popped up, startling her so much that she frowned, stiffened her neck, and instinctively shrank back.

If the earlier pictures were all normal, then the later ones started to look strange.

There are both men and women, mostly between sixteen and thirty years old, and they have all sorts of actions, expressions, and postures.

There were even pairs of men and women, two men, or two women...

Mo Xueyao's facial muscles gradually stiffened. She looked at Dr. Wang beside her with some unease, but the latter just smiled and told her to continue.

Then we have no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

"This is pretty good, both of them have great figures." Another picture popped up of two girls hugging each other, their beautiful bodies pressed together without any clothes restricting their movement. Wang Jiaoming rested her chin on her hand and said with some fascination.

"Uh..." Mo Xueyao didn't know where to look.

Next is a picture of a man with thick body hair.

She leaned back with a hint of disgust.

Then a picture of a handsome young man popped up. He had a neutral, soft appearance with a touch of feminine beauty.

Mo Xueyao opened her eyes wide, glanced around curiously for a few moments, and then focused her gaze on his face.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at this moment; even though this part only lasted three to five minutes, it felt like an hour.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the slideshow was turned off.

"call……"

"Hehe, I roughly understand your psychological state."

"what?"

"But some things are indeed not so easy to change."

"So, is there anything I need to be careful about?"

"It's okay, just continue like this, there's nothing particularly wrong."

Generally speaking, one should analyze Mo Xueyao's psychology at times like this, but Dr. Wang didn't say anything, which obviously had his reasons.

Mo Xueyao licked her lips, suppressing her curiosity, and didn't ask any more questions.

There was another knock on the door; it turned out someone had come specifically to deliver the hormone test report.

It only took about half an hour in total.

However, the tests were not as numerous as usual. They mainly tested for estrogen, androgen, as well as several other related hormones. Mo Xueyao didn't quite understand the large amount of data and specialized medical terminology on the screen, but Dr. Wang only glanced at it and understood the general situation.

"Okay, no problem. Let's go, I'll take you home."

"No need, no need. I came by bicycle, I can go back by myself."

"Is it okay tonight?"

"It's okay, it's a man... anyway, it's all main roads, well-lit."

"That's fine, haha, I'll visit your fruit shop again next time."

"Oh, okay... Well... I'm leaving now?"

"Be careful on the road."

"See you next time!" Wang Jiaoming waved vigorously.

Chapter Thirty-Three: School on Saturdays

On Saturday morning, Yukong High School was immersed in a soothing tranquility.

Faintly, one could hear melodious music coming from the laboratory building, occasionally mixed with some noise and slightly disordered rhythms.

This is the Snow Music Band practicing because they have a performance on Tuesday, and time is very tight. Even if they are cramming at the last minute, they have to cram for as long as possible.

Mo Kong took off his monocle and carefully put it into the mirror case next to him.

The curtains behind him were open, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the clean, sparsely populated asphalt road outside the school—mainly because it was a one-way street, and there were no important buildings nearby besides the school and library, so few people drove in.

Even the bus stop is on the wider main road outside.
