A Young Woman's Heart

There are no shops nearby, only trees.

The bridge only has piers; the bridge itself hasn't been built yet.

Mo Xueyao suddenly felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so she followed Hua Yinyin and ran all the way.

The rain soaked my clothes.

Her hair was also wet, with several strands stuck to her cheeks as if glued on, and she couldn't get them off no matter what she tried.

I decided to just ignore it; the uphill path to the fruit shop was already right in front of me.

"Awoo—" Hua Yinyin even let out an excited howl, but her voice was soft, sounding like a little puppy.

"Awooo—" Mo Xueyao also let out a howl, which was much more like Hua Yinyin's.

Hua Yinyin didn't say anything, but simply gave her a thumbs up with her back turned.

It looks like we've arrived, but we're actually still quite a distance away.

Mo Xueyao was panting heavily, while Hua Yinyin's breathing was relatively stable.

After all, her long-distance running results are better than Mo Xueyao's.

"Rain is actually quite nice, it's so refreshing!"

"Huff... I can't keep up..." That wolf howl just now completely messed up Mo Xueyao's breathing, and she was having trouble catching her breath.

Hua Yinyin, however, was still able to continue shouting and saying a few words.

It's getting closer.

The noodle shop is right in front of us.

Once you reach the noodle shop, the fruit shop won't be far away.

Zhuang Lianlian stood in front of the noodle shop, her black hair loose, which made Mo Xueyao feel a little uncomfortable.

She had dyed her hair dark blonde before, but after some time, she went to get it dyed back to its original color today.

Perhaps because her hair had grown longer, the color of her blonde hair had become somewhat mixed.

To maintain that color, you have to keep dyeing your hair.

That would not only be bad for your hair, but also a waste of money.

Countless thoughts raced through Mo Xueyao's mind, many of which stemmed from the gossip girls usually shared.

Although students are not allowed to dye their hair, girls who love beauty always have the idea of ​​trying it, and even if they have never actually seen it done, they know quite a bit about it.

Just like how even if a boy has never served in the military, he still has a general understanding of some weapons and equipment.

After running past the noodle shop, the two finally rushed into the fruit shop.

One of the towels was tossed onto Mo Xueyao's head with a 'whoosh,' while the other was neatly handed to Hua Yinyin.

She had clearly seen the two people running wildly in the rain long ago.

"How old are you? Don't you know to take shelter from the rain? It's raining so hard, what if you catch a cold from getting wet?"

"No problem, just think of it as taking a shower, it's so hot anyway," Mo Xueyao replied nonchalantly. "Mom, I can't dry myself off."

"You know you can't dry yourself off?" Her mother glared at her, annoyed. "You're soaking wet. Go grab an umbrella and take a shower."

"Hello, Auntie~" Hua Yinyin rubbed her hair, "I didn't bring any change of clothes—"

Before her mother could speak, she continued, asking in a very familiar manner—although she had been here a few times, they weren't really that close, but she still asked, "Can I wear Yao Yao's clothes?"

"of course can."

"Thank you, Auntie! Um, you don't need to wash my clothes. I'll take them home to wash, and then I'll wash the clean clothes and return them to Xiaoyao!"

They're so proactive; it feels like they're going to do something weird with the clothes.

Urged by their mother, the two rushed to Grandma Jin's house to take a bath.

When I came back, it was still raining, but not as heavily as when I came back.

The sewage drain at the entrance seemed to be clogged again, with water gushing out with a 'gurgling' sound.

The mother continued her nagging: "These urban management officers are here when they can fine people, but when it comes to repairs, it's not their responsibility. Even if it's not their responsibility, can't they call someone else to do it? The drainage is so bad... I saw on the news that foreigners have very good drainage systems that won't break down for a hundred years."

"Tch, people from all countries are the same," Mo Xueyao retorted.

"If you speak to urban management officers like that, you might as well become their daughter."

Now it was Mo Xueyao's turn to be speechless.

"Hoo hoo, enjoying this." Hua Yinyin leaned back in her chair, gently scratching Sutang's head. When she saw Mo Xueyao coming over, she tried to touch her thigh.

"Don't touch me!" Mo Xueyao quickly dodged her groping hand. "Su Tang hasn't taken a bath in ages, you touched it and now you're touching me—"

"Can I touch it after I wash my hands?" Hua Yinyin tilted her head up very 'obediently'.

"..." Mo Xueyao didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Here, have some snacks." The mother placed a plate of loose snacks on the table; they were the kind that had a very rustic feel to them.

This is a rotating platter, divided into several portions, each containing a different dessert.

There are fried dough sticks, earth cakes, sesame candy, and the like. The amount in each compartment is not very large, but it's not good to eat too much of this stuff.

Because they are all excessively sweet.

Especially with sesame brittle, it tastes good at first, but after eating half of it, all you want to do is drink water. It takes at least a few minutes before you can finish the other half.

Hua Yinyin casually picked out a few things to eat, munching on the cat while also having the leisure to 'trouble' Mo Xueyao.

The fruit shop was doing quite well, and the mother and Li Wanyan were rather busy, which contrasted sharply with their leisurely pace.

"You're so unhygienic, you'll get an upset stomach later."

"Absolutely impossible." Hua Yinyin said this while stuffing a Jingguo into her mouth with her fingers, which had been licked by the candy.

She's already drunk several cups of cooled boiled water.

Five minutes after she said that—

Her expression gradually turned strange.

His body went from sitting upright to hunching over.

He put his legs off the ground and onto the chair.

She hugged her knees, and it took her a long time before she gasped for breath.

"Hiss—Little Yaoyao, is there a toilet?"

"...It's karma."

"Ouch...it really hurts...I need to go to the toilet..."

"Let's go to Grandma Jin's house."

"Ugh...it's so far..."

"Let me see." Mo Xueyao stood on tiptoe and saw Chen Cheng leaning against the convenience store entrance smoking. She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice carrying through the rain, "Chen Cheng—!! Can I borrow your electric scooter? I need to take Yinyin to the restroom—!"

Hua Yinyin's little face immediately turned red.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes, turned around and walked to the corner. After a while, he stopped his bike at the door with the key still in the ignition. He didn't say anything, turned around and left, acting all cool and aloof.

“Childish…” Mo Xueyao muttered, “Let’s go, Yinyin, I’ll take you to Grandma Jin’s.”

Grandma Jin is at home today.

Zhuang Lianlian and Chen Cheng took turns looking after the convenience store.

"Phew, hurry up, hurry up..."

"I suddenly remembered—Aishue's divination."

"What? Uh..." Hua Yinyin nodded, "It's actually quite accurate..."

"That's quite a coincidence."

"Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the probability of it happening is high?"

"...It seems you know yourself very well."

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

Chapter 103 A Tooth Knocked Out

Monday, August 2001, 6.

At five o'clock in the morning, before the alarm clock rang, Mo Xueyao dragged Hua Yinyin, who had slept with her the night before, out of bed.

Actually, she rarely gets up that early herself.

I just wanted to 'torture' her a little.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that it is really uncomfortable for three people to squeeze into one small bed. Although it rained yesterday and it was cool, it was still a little difficult to fall asleep.

"Waaah—"

"get up--"

"sleepy……"

Mo Xueyao used a feather from a feather duster to scratch Hua Yinyin's nose, and the latter immediately sneezed several times and opened her eyes helplessly.

"Even when I ride my bike to school, I don't get up this early..."

"We need to open the classroom door."

"My stomach still hurts..."

"Who are you kidding? You weren't in pain last night, okay?"

"Woooo..."

Hua Yinyin struggled to get up and joined him in washing up.
