A Young Woman's Heart

(four)

“So many…cardboard boxes.” Huang Yuxi always had a hard time speaking a sentence coherently, which was somewhat similar to Sanhua Tongjue, who was a little rusty in speaking Chinese in everyday situations.

In this small attic, the most eye-catching thing is the tall stack of cardboard boxes in the room.

There were probably twenty or thirty of them, piled together, taking up most of the already small room.

"They were all sent from Japan Post. They arrived before I left." Mika Hitomi affectionately pressed her little face against his cheek and rubbed it against him. "Xiao Xi! Help me unpack and organize them, okay?"

"No problem!" Huang Yuxi looked eager to try, as excited as if she were winning the lottery.

The two sat back to back on the clean tatami mat and began to unpack the cardboard box.

The pink wig of Sanhua Tongjue tickled Huang Yuxi's neck.

The first thing he opened was the box containing Sanhua Tongjue's personal clothing.

And it's...the kind with a really romantic vibe.

It uses little fabric, has lots of lace, and even includes openwork...

Although I had seen these clothes on her in Japan, I still blushed a little when I actually took them off.

He quickly pushed the box towards her.

"Hehe, I found them on the very first one! Xiaoxi, which one do you want me to wear tonight?"

"Wear it, wear it..."

"Oh my, you actually really want to see this? Xiao Xi must miss me a lot, right?" Sanhua Tongjue stared at Huang Yuxi with amusement, then leaned over him, her soft body full of allure.

Huang Yuxi quickly found an excuse to stand up: "Then, I... I'll tidy up, the rest..."

"Oh dear~ then let's wash up tonight and play again~"

When Sanhua Tongjue said this, she gently licked her lips, as if she couldn't wait any longer.

The cardboard boxes were mostly filled with clothing and personal items.

Consumables account for the majority of these.

Especially various food items that can only be purchased in Japan.

There was even a whole box full of miso soup packets, the kind you just need to put in water and boil to drink.

Sanhua Tongjue wasn't good at organizing; the things she took out of the box were scattered everywhere, and it was Huang Yuxi who sorted them out.

Although the attic is small, it has a lot of storage space, and the things that were scattered on the floor have gradually decreased.

Even so, it still made the place much more crowded.

Rainwater was slowly flowing down the slanted window.

There is also a floor-to-ceiling window in the attic, so even on rainy days, the lighting is still very good.

The autumn wind carried the withered leaves into the house.

A cool breeze brushed against his face, but it didn't make him feel cold.

After working for a while, I started sweating.

"You're so good at tidying things up, Xiaoxi!" Seeing that everything in the room was neatly arranged, Sanhua Tongjue happily pounced on Huang Yuxi.

He almost suffocated from her breath and barely managed to break free.

"I'm tired, let me... rest for a while..." He leaned against the wall, looking exhausted.

"Hey, then I'll make you dinner today!"

Huang Yuxi didn't speak, but her eyes conveyed her doubt.

"Xiaoxi, where did you put my instant food?" she asked, gesturing with difficulty.

"Look in the kitchen cabinets yourself." Huang Yuxi tilted her head and looked for a while before she remembered what this meant. When she said this, she had an expression of 'I knew it'.

After all, my brother often eats instant noodles when he's not home.

No matter what, those fancy packaged fast foods are still tastier than instant noodles, right?

"Good girl, Xiao Xi~ Wait for me to make dinner!" Sanhua Tongjue said, giving Huang Yuxi a big kiss on the cheek, which almost looked like he was biting her.

One kiss wasn't enough, so she gave him another hard kiss on his other cheek, leaving an even deeper lipstick mark.

"Xiao Xi's face is so soft, like, like a glutinous rice ball, I really want to take a bite~" Her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth raised in an exaggerated arc, "Hehe, I want to eat with you after dinner, Xiao Xi~!"

Chapter Sixty: Why are there couples everywhere?

(One)

Yesterday's rain, which lasted all day, washed the sky clean and clear.

The sun was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.

Su Tang nestled lazily in Mo Xueyao's arms, while the latter was writing 'Su Tang's Diary' in her notebook.

Actually, it wasn't a sudden urge to write; rather, her godfather had given her and Li Wanyan two German fountain pens. Receiving new stationery made her quite excited, so she wanted to write something.

Scribbling around is pointless. While rummaging through my schoolbag, I happened to find this notebook that I hadn't opened in ages. There were dozens of blank pages at the back, and it would be such a waste not to fill them up.

Although Li Wanyan didn't say anything, she couldn't help but sit opposite Mo Xueyao, open the all-English novel, and copy down a few passages she liked.

Having just taken a bath, fluffy-furred Su Tang twisted its body and rolled over in Mo Xueyao's arms, lying back very relaxed. Grandma Jin's husky ran over and nudged its tail vigorously, but it remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, Grandma Jin was talking to Mo Wenli on the other side of the fruit shop, seemingly about business.

"Ali, you can't go wrong eating at those restaurants over there. They'll definitely cost more in the future, but right now they're only 10,000 yuan a room..."

Mo Wenli was trimming the flower branches with a large pair of scissors, saying, "We definitely need to eat, but we're considering how many restaurants to go to. The main problem is that we don't have much money on hand, haha."

Grandma Jin's wrinkles creased as she smiled: "It's alright, I can lend you the money. You can pay me back when you have the money, or you can mortgage the shop to me if you don't."

Mo Wenli glanced at Grandma Jin with some surprise, because by doing this, he had no risk at all.

“Let’s eat all of that row, and write your name on half of them.”

"Half is...?"

"Ten rooms."

"The currency has depreciated sharply recently, so buying now while the money is still valuable might actually be a good idea..."

"Then it's settled, Xiao Mo. Come with me to sign the papers tomorrow."

"Let me think about it some more and I'll give you an answer before I go to bed tonight."

"This is a speculative business, are you sure it's okay?" Yang Xiaoyu asked with some concern.

Grandma Jin and Mo Wenli couldn't help but laugh, comforting her and telling her to relax.

(two)

A small truck, emitting a strong fumes from its diesel engine, pulled up in front of the fruit shop.

Huang Zhengyang slammed the truck door shut, nimbly jumped off, and then, like a monkey, tumbled into the truck bed, gritting his teeth and laboriously unloading a large wooden crate.

This is full of bananas.

We get bananas every two days or so, and if they sell well, we ask him to deliver a box every day.

"Wow, so serious! Doing homework so early in the morning?" Huang Zhengyang put down the crate, teased Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan, and then pulled out a large stack of invoices from his chest pocket. "Boss Mo, the bananas have been delivered to you!"

Did you bring the invoice this time?

"I brought it this time!" Huang Zhengyang rummaged through the large stack of invoices and found one with the words "Lao Mo Fruit Shop" written on the header. "Here you go."

"Tsk, bananas have gone up in price again?"

"Yes, everything is going up in price these days, and banana production drops in winter unless we source them from further away."

The father shook his head, quickly signed his name on the invoice, and then Huang Zhengyang tore off one and handed it to him, while stuffing the other one into his other pocket.

As usual, Mo Wenli took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Huang Zhengyang, who, as usual, waved his hand and refused: "Mr. Mo, you know I don't smoke."

"What man doesn't smoke? Besides, as a driver, don't you get sleepy if you don't smoke?"

“Peppermint candies work even better. By the way, Mr. Mo, have you ever considered selling vegetables in the store? Sell some cheap ones, the kind that people usually buy.”

“I’m selling vegetables in a flower and fruit shop, that would be a complete mess!” Mo Wenli shook his head repeatedly. “It wouldn’t look good.”

“What’s wrong with this? Making more money is a good thing, I think it’s great.” Yang Xiaoyu, who was repairing an old flower basket, immediately retorted, “Some people are too lazy to go to the market, so they just buy some cheap vegetables like cabbage and bok choy from our fruit shop, and maybe they’ll also buy some fruit while they’re at it!”

"Yes, boss, we also have vegetables here. We'll deliver them directly to you, and the price will be about the same as your wholesale price."

"Forget it, forget it, I don't have room for that in my shop," Mo Wenli said, changing the subject as he looked at the purple-haired woman sleeping in the car. "Hey, bro, who's that in the passenger seat? So pretty and classy, ​​those clothes don't look cheap, do they? Where did you hook up with that rich girl?"

"Mr. Mo, you have an amazing eye for people."

"That's obvious."

"Heh, haha... still chasing!"

Mo Wenli gave him a thumbs up with great respect: "Young man, you have ambition! But it's not easy to pursue a rich man's daughter. If you're not well-matched, her family will object."

"It's okay, just do your part. I'll definitely regret it if I don't try."

"A real man!" He patted Huang Zhengyang's shoulder forcefully.

Yang Xiaoyu raised her head and teased, "What real man? He's just someone who can't resist when he sees someone good-looking."

“It’s perfectly normal to like pretty girls,” Mo Xueyao interjected. “Zhengyang, your brother already has a girlfriend, you should try harder too.”

"Hey, I'll try my best!" Huang Zhengyang scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Mo Xueyao suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Xiao Xi's girlfriend is also a rich heiress! You're dating a rich heiress too? You two are truly brothers..."

"I'm not trying to be a kept man!"

"Tch—who would believe that!" Mo Xueyao teased with a laugh.
