A Young Woman's Heart

"An Ruosu, An Ruosu, you can't go on like this..."

It seemed like he was reciting his own name.

"Blue and white..."

"Hair...again..."

Tian Tingchan pursed her lips before trying on the jeans she had just picked out.

The price is ninety-nine.

expensive.

However, this is in the discount section, and if you manage to get a discount, it will only cost around forty yuan.

Although the price is still quite high, it already feels very cheap.

This made her hesitate about whether to buy it.

The style is actually quite ordinary, but the material is indeed very comfortable. It doesn't feel tight at all when worn, it's quite elastic, and very soft.

She only went downstairs after she asked about the price and confirmed that a discount was available.

The guy who was just now, probably named An Ruosu, is paying at the cashier right now.

The cashier spread out the long dress with its blue sky and white cloud pattern, shook it out, and then skillfully folded it neatly and stuffed it into a small bag.

"Oh, um, do you have a gift box? It's a birthday present for my sister, so I'd like it to be wrapped up nicely," he said earnestly.

"A gift box? Then, can we put it directly inside the gift box, and then put it in a bag on the outside, that's fine?"

"Ok, Ok."

"Okay." The cashier folded the dress in a different way, took out a gift box from under the counter, unfolded it, put the dress inside, sealed it with colorful gift tape, tied it with a ribbon, and stuffed it into the clothing bag.

It really does look like a gift for my sister.

The cashier suddenly smiled, her eyes narrowing, and asked jokingly, "Is it really your little sister?"

"Huh? Ah... It really is my little sister..."

"My younger sister?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Hey, your sister is so lucky to have a brother like you. I thought you were going to give it to your girlfriend."

"Ahem... I don't have a girlfriend yet..." He breathed a slight sigh of relief and answered with a smile.

"Yes, welcome back next time!"

"it is good……"

"Remember to bring your younger sister next time! That way they'll fit better!"

"well……"

Tian Tingchan watched the boy leave before turning back to the cashier: "These jeans are on sale, right?"

She checked it again.

"Let me check, um, yes, it's forty-two after the discount."

"Please wrap it up for me."

Would you like a gift box?

"No need, I can dress myself." Tian Tingchan shook her head, took out her wallet from her pocket, glanced at the hundred-yuan bill, but didn't touch it. Instead, she picked up the only fifty-yuan bill.

She hesitated for a moment, but instead of taking out a fifty-yuan bill, she took out other smaller denominations of change and pieced them together to make forty-two yuan.

There were also four five-cent coins mixed in.

"Alright, that'll be forty-two for you. Please take care."

"By the way, do you hire summer workers here?"

"Yes, you need to contact the store manager."

When will she be here?

"She's not here today, but I can give you her phone number."

"it is good."

Chapter 106 What Happened at the Secret Base on the Mountain Top?

Friday, July 15, 2001.

Everyone has their own things to do today, so the Snow Music Band won't be staying to continue practicing.

Apart from Mo Xueyao, only Hua Yinyin and Yu Shu had nothing to do.

Actually, all three of them can continue practicing, especially Yu Shu, as one or two months is far from enough time for her to practice.

"Everyone's gone, it's so boring—" Hua Yinyin rolled around on the foam mat, clutching her pipa. "I don't want to practice—"

"Anyway, we usually just sit and chat most of the time." Mo Xueyao was trying to play the theme song of Journey to the West on the piano. When answering Hua Yinyin's question, she made a few mistakes and couldn't adjust them in time, so she simply stopped.

"It's just the three of us, chatting isn't very interesting," Hua Yinyin said, then suddenly peeked out of the classroom door. "By the way, where's Wanyan?"

"She and Xiaoxue were both called away by Awen to help out." Mo Xueyao rested her chin on her hand and glanced at her sideways. "They're helping to tutor a few students in the class who aren't doing well academically."

"Who is the teacher after all...?"

“If it’s just regular tutoring, Xiaoxue and Wanyan are enough. Besides, it’s impossible to have so many teachers stay behind to teach just a few students.”

Being a class monitor is really tough.

“You’re not qualified yet,” Mo Xueyao retorted on Li Wanyan’s behalf.

Yu Shu put down her keyboard and sat down at the table surrounded by four tables.

As soon as I sat down, something leaked out of the drawer due to the vibration.

This table is Wang Jiale's favorite place to sit, and it's crammed with a bunch of random things.

There were even many snacks that had been sitting for days and hadn't been finished.

Soggy instant noodles and potato chips, etc.

I wonder what guys would think if they knew that such a cute girl could be so sloppy in certain ways...

Hua Yinyin bent down and picked up the fallen item. It was a thick notebook. She opened it and flipped through it casually, only to find that it was filled with writing.

There are also some simple illustrations.

This doesn't look like Wang Jiale's stuff at all.

So she turned to the title page and sure enough, she saw the three delicate characters '墨竹莜' on it.

This drawer is essentially shared, so it's quite normal that it would contain items by Mo Zhuyou.

In a sense, she and Wang Jiale do have a lot in common—both dislike tidying up.

Wang Jiale is spoiled by the adults in her family, while Mo Zhuyou's older sister probably takes good care of everything for her.

"This seems to have been written later." Mo Xueyao glanced at it, because only a small part was written, and the rest of the paper was blank.

Hua Yinyin flipped through the pages with text and looked at them: "Hmm... Band Horror Murder Case, requires at least three players to participate. At the start, you can choose between a blue-eyed, exotic girl and a big-breasted, brainless girl..."

"I'm talking about you."

"Hmm, she's just jealous!" Hua Yinyin said with absolute certainty.

"Want to try it out? There are three of us." Mo Xueyao said this while looking at Yu Shu. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if Hua Yinyin disagreed; she could just drag her along to play.

"Eh...? No, I don't really like horror games..."

"By the way, Yao Yao, do you still remember our secret base on the mountaintop? It's been so long since we went there."

"Oh, yes."

"It's still early, only a little past three o'clock—why don't we go hiking?"

"Hey, are you just looking for trouble?"

"Come on, come on, Yu Shu wants to come too!"

"A secret base on the mountaintop?" Yu Shu seemed somewhat interested. "Hmm... which mountain is it?"

"Tiger Mountain is very high," Mo Xueyao deliberately exaggerated, "Climbing up is extremely tiring."

"...Why don't you...give it a try?"

"Alas?"

"A secret base."

"I didn't expect Yu Shu to like this kind of thing too..." Mo Xueyao sighed, and was pulled away by Hua Yinyin.

"Let's go hiking!"

……

Compared to Mo Xueyao, Hua Yinyin is a complete action-oriented person; often, her body moves faster than her brain.

But Mo Xueyao was not used to this; she always needed a plan to do things.

Without a plan, it feels particularly abrupt and uncomfortable.

It's as if doing this would definitely cause trouble.

Actually, Tiger Mountain isn't very high; it only takes about forty minutes to climb to the top.

For students at Yukong High School who exercise regularly and whose physical education classes are rarely taken up by physical education classes, it's not too difficult.

However, going up there must have been exhausting.

Yu Shu was physically weak and had to stop and rest several times, while Hua Yinyin seemed to have endless energy, running up and down like a little child.

At this time of day, no one was going up the mountain, but fortunately, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, so it didn't feel shabby.
