A Young Woman's Heart

Then there is no more.

Could they all be dreaming that they've woken up and come to open the door?

Back in the room, Hua Yinyin was combing her hair by the window. Several clumps of hair were on the floor, some of which had been blown away by the wind.

"Hey, why are you combing your hair in the room again? There's hair everywhere, and a whole bunch of it has fallen on the floor."

"What?! Only a few hairs fell out! A whole bunch? Am I going to go bald?"

"Pretty much~" Mo Xueyao put down the thermos, picked up a broom and started sweeping right there. "Hair loss is so annoying."

"Of course, hair will fall out as soon as it grows long. It's not like I'm a boy, so I can't shave it very short."

So it's true, when it comes to things that are convenient, it's mostly the boys who are better at it.

Mo Xueyao thought to herself, but didn't say it aloud.

"Summer, I really want to get a short haircut."

"Don't get a short haircut, you won't be able to grow it back to that length by winter!"

"Who said that? As long as the growth hormone levels are high enough, it's still possible."

"Wouldn't they be covered in hair all over their bodies?"

"Don't make me sound like a savage, okay?" Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes, dumped the hair she had painstakingly swept up into the trash can, and then pressed it down with a dustpan to prevent it from flying out again in the wind.

"What about instant noodles?"

"I'll get it."

Mo Xueyao took out her backpack, which contained several buckets of instant noodles that she hadn't taken out since she brought them there.

No doubt about it, it's all braised beef noodles anyway.

The bag also contained a few sausages and braised eggs, just in case.

The food has returned to normal now, so I finally thought of them.

I ate so well the past few days that I completely forgot I brought instant noodles with me.

"Is it bad for my health to eat instant noodles for breakfast?"

Mo Xueyao glanced at Hua Yinyin sideways after hearing this: "Eat it or don't, it's up to you."

"No, I just thought, shouldn't we eat something light in the morning?"

There's also plain congee downstairs.

"Okay, I'll choose instant noodles. Wow, do you also have braised eggs and sausages?"

That's mine—

"Give me one of those braised eggs!"

"I mean, it's in the bag, go get it yourself..."

At eight o'clock in the summer, there is no longer any trace of morning.

It feels more like 10 o'clock in other seasons.

The various books and objects scattered on the table were temporarily cleared away and piled to the side. A bowl of instant noodles with boiling water was covered, but the rich aroma could still be faintly smelled.

Although it's not exactly bland, it's definitely very appetizing.

"Ah—enjoying it~ It's so nice not to have class~" Mo Xueyao sat comfortably in the chair and stretched out her legs.

"I just realized that when I was a teacher, I actually disliked teaching even more," Hua Yinyin wholeheartedly agreed. "Although, theoretically, we should have gotten used to it by now—"

"It's only been a week, okay?"

"Really? It feels like half a semester has passed."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Huang Yuxi's Holiday Trip

Two delicate and lovely yellow gemstone earrings hung on Huang Yuxi's two small earlobes. His hair was a little long and was neatly combed, making him look like a well-behaved student who never caused trouble.

As for the chestnut-colored hair clip on his head—it was Sanhua Tongjue who insisted on wearing it, adding a touch of girlish gentleness to him.

In other words, it's even harder to tell that he's a boy.

Fortunately, he was wearing trendy menswear—yes, at least it was menswear…

Therefore, he retained some of his youthful vigor.

The sky was blue, but not clear enough, with a hint of hazy gray.

The sun continues to shine relentlessly, and the only way to escape the heat is to hide in an air-conditioned shop or supermarket.

However, none of this had anything to do with Huang Yuxi and Sanhua Tongjue who were shopping in the mall.

The air conditioning here is on full blast, and there are young men and women coming and going everywhere.

The country is recovering from a major financial crisis and is showing signs of renewed vitality, but there seems to be underlying anxiety and caution about the future.

"Xiao Xi! Crepes!" Sanhua Tongjue ran out of a nearby shop and excitedly handed over a beautifully packaged crepe.

The portion is small; if Mo Xueyao were here, she would definitely say, "Isn't this just feeding a cat?"

Fortunately, Huang Yuxi and Sanhua Tongjue don't have big appetites, so these small snacks are perfect for eating while walking.

Huang Yuxi arrived in Japan by plane yesterday, and her girlfriend naturally reimbursed her for the ticket.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Last night, Sanhua Tongjue was anything but quiet. This morning, she excitedly pulled Huang Yuxi, whose legs were still weak, out again.

They ostensibly wanted to let him experience exotic customs once again.

It's basically just shopping.

According to Sanhua Tongjue, shopping is an essential part of dating.

Eat and play, then go see a movie, and then go to a Western restaurant...

When they got home late at night, they would take a shower together.

Huang Yuxi spent some time in Japan during last winter break and learned some Japanese, but she still had some difficulty with daily conversations and could only understand some words.

Therefore, when Sanhua Tongjue spoke to him, she tried her best to use Chinese.

Her Chinese grades seem to be quite good this year, and her level has improved considerably.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, come quick! I've seen an outfit that would be perfect for you!"

"Huh?"

"You look both cute and cool in it!"

It was a pale yellow shirt.

There are many jingling ornaments on it, and some parts are deliberately made to look like they have holes.

It's clear that the design is quite good, because although there are many ornaments, it doesn't look cluttered, and although there are many patterns, it doesn't look too flashy.

“Hmm—” Sanhua Tongjue seemed very enthusiastic about taking Huang Yuxi out to buy clothes. She even wanted him to change into a different outfit every day—at least every day of the week had to be different.

She asked the shop assistant to take the shirt down, and then held it up against him.

Because Huang Yuxi is even shorter, she even had to bend over and lower her head slightly.

"Is this your younger brother?" the shop assistant asked with a smile.

"He's my boyfriend! He's about the same age as me!"

Wow, he looks so youthful!

"Right?" Whenever someone praised him, she was even happier than when she was praised herself.

"Is it expensive...?" Huang Yuxi asked cautiously in Chinese.

"It's not expensive." For her, there's no way a shopping mall could have clothes that she would find expensive.

Perhaps out of consideration for Huang Yuxi's pride, they did not go to the clothing malls that actually sell luxury goods.

Although her family is wealthy, she is not the kind of ignorant rich girl who has to use expensive things for everything.

“I have… brought a lot…” Huang Yuxi said with her not-so-fluent tongue.

Compared to when he first recovered, he can now speak much more fluently.

"I just happened to see this and liked it." It's like a young adult with a job browsing a night market.

It allows you to buy most things without worrying about spending too much money.

That's roughly how I feel.

"This outfit would go better with those jeans."

"Um—no, thank you." Sanhua Tongjue politely declined the shop assistant's sales pitch. "My Xiaoxi looks better with her thighs showing—it's summer after all!"

Although he couldn't quite understand what the two women were saying, Huang Yuxi still felt the strange look the shop assistant was giving him, which made him take a half step back.

A shirt, yet it was packaged in a very exquisite box and bag.

Obviously, the price isn't really that cheap.

"Xiao Xi, take this~" Sanhua Tongjue handed him the clothes, then took his hand and ran around.

I don't buy it every time.

She simply enjoys the shopping experience more.

The two even took a train to come here for this shopping trip.

She was far away from the city where her father lived.

Perhaps it's just about seeking a bit of novelty.

Here, there are noticeably more foreigners than usual, mostly white, with a few Hispanic—Huang Yuxi hasn't seen any Black people yet.

I didn't buy anything else after that, perhaps because there wasn't anything she particularly liked.

The three-flowered jade pendant was pressed tightly against Huang Yuxi's arm, allowing the latter to clearly feel her heartbeat.
