A Young Woman's Heart

Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan walked through the small door and stood in silence for a long time in the snow that reached almost to their calves.

But in the end, they still took the first step.

A series of deep footprints appeared in the pristine white snow.

At least it paved the way for those who came after.

Mo Xueyao thought to herself.

But who will be responsible for shoveling the snow later?

Will you let the students come?

Or perhaps we could ask the school's cleaning lady to come?

Anyway, Monday's morning meeting will definitely be canceled.

Mo Xueyao didn't expect that morning reading would also be canceled, and Yukong High School organized all the students to shovel snow together.

The boys were having the most fun; they seemed to have so much energy they didn't know what to do with it, shoveling snow while also having a snowball fight.

Some people even worked together to grab their friends and gently toss them into the thick snow...

It's probably similar to jumping into a pile of leaves.

Mo Xueyao was initially eager to try, but when she saw Li Wanyan sweeping out several pieces of cat poop that had been frozen solid from the snow, she gave up the idea.

The whole school worked together to shovel snow, and the scene was quite lively.

Everyone treated it as an extracurricular activity and had a great time.

Students from the art club all took out their cameras, wanting to capture this rare moment forever.

Mo Xueyao stood on Li Wanyan's side, slacking off, and waved a small broom that was basically useless around in her hand.

She tucked half of her hand into the sleeve of the oversized winter school uniform, covered her mouth with one hand and breathed on it, then pressed it against Li Wanyan's cheek, which was red from the cold.

"what."

"Is it hot?"

"……Um."

"Hehe, let me warm your face." Mo Xueyao withdrew her hand, breathed on both hands, and then slapped them onto Hua Yinyin's chubby little face.

"...Little Yaoyao, can't you do your job properly?"

"Huh, Yin Yin can actually work properly sometimes?"

"I'm actually quite serious about shoveling snow today," Hua Yinyin pouted, giving her a disgruntled look, and then swept the snow to the ground under a tree with her large bamboo broom.

—Let's just consider it as watering them.

However, it's unclear when the snow will melt. The weather forecast says that sub-zero temperatures will continue for some time, and it might not warm up until after the New Year.

The snow that has been swept away no longer has that fluffy, white appearance; instead, it becomes twisted and dirty.

"Liu Xiaowei, stop sweeping! You're getting dirty water all over my shoes!" Wang Jiale yelled at Liu Xiaowei, leaning on the broom.

"An unexpected surprise!"

You're so annoying!

"Haha, Liu Xiaowei, why do you get scolded by Wang Jiale all the time?"

"There's nothing I can do, this woman and I don't get along."

"Tsk tsk, a pair of bickering lovers, huh?"

"What? A flat-screen TV? Who would like that?"

Wang Jiale couldn't help but want to speak, but she was afraid that if she took the initiative, it would seem like she was trying to hide something, so she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Although Huang Yuxi didn't do any work, she still ran around with her short legs, sending Christmas Eve blessings to every student in Class Two.

—Sometimes I'll bring Christmas gifts along too.

He also had small chocolates wrapped in oil paper in his pocket, and he gave one to everyone.

"Peace, Christmas, and Merry Christmas!" Huang Yuxi, with a beaming smile, walked up to Mo Xueyao and gracefully handed her a greeting card and a small chocolate.

"Oh, thank you." Without any hesitation, Mo Xueyao tore open the wrapper and stuffed the star-shaped chocolate into her mouth.

It tastes slightly bitter, but that makes the chocolate flavor even richer.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

"I made them myself," Huang Yuxi said with a proud smile. "More than a dozen different molds...and the shapes are all different."

Wow, that's amazing!

"It's just that the finished chocolate, the strength, the melting..." He was a little embarrassed by the praise, and quickly took out another one and handed it to Li Wanyan.

"Thank you."

Everyone in Class Two has one.

Preparing so many chocolates must have cost a lot of money.

But more importantly.

He spread joy and happiness to everyone.

However, it seems there are still some difficulties on the way to deliver the gift. As soon as Mo Xueyao turned her head, she found that Cha Li and the others were grabbing her and rubbing her face vigorously. They didn't seem like classmates of the same age at all, but rather like they had seen an exceptionally cute child.

"Look, Xiaoxi gave me Valentine's Day chocolates!" Gao Yuan jokingly shouted to Zhou Yong.

"...Valentine's Day, Mom...How about Christmas?"

"Sigh, what a pity, why isn't Xiaoxi a girl?"

"Even if you were a girl, it wouldn't be your turn."

"Damn, I'll pay for it!"

"Then you'll probably have to go to Vietnam—"

……

Is Chapter 122 a confession?

(One)

Despite the snow falling outside, senior high school classes continued as usual.

Nothing has changed.

The only difference is that physical education class might turn into a study session.

In fact, in such cold weather, people probably don't want to leave the warm classroom to go to the playground or indoor stadium to sweat out that uncomfortable sweat.

At noon, the sun finally broke through the hazy yellow clouds and slowly peeked out.

The snow stopped briefly, but the temperature didn't rise much.

"Yinyin, are you going to the band room at noon today?"

"Huh? Um... wait, I haven't finished this test paper yet..."

"Hey, this isn't like you today."

"I just don't want to stay up all night at home..."

"So you're not going today?"

"Right away, right away!" Hua Yinyin replied quickly. "Oh dear, Xiao Yaoyao, don't talk to me. Let me finish this problem first... I forgot the formula."

"This dish is not simple..."

"Stop! I'll think of something myself!"

"It's rare to find someone with backbone," Mo Xueyao teased, but the latter showed no intention of playing along.

The fact that her lunch break was so peaceful, without any disturbances, made her feel a little uneasy.

My studies are getting busier and busier, and there's only about a month left before the final exams.

That will also mean the end of the first semester of senior year.

Even someone as seemingly cheerful as Hua Yinyin must be feeling some pressure.

……

(two)

Suddenly, the back of the classroom became noisy. Mo Xueyao knew that the boys had started playing around.

But for some reason, the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.

She felt as if several eyes were watching her from behind, so she suddenly turned halfway around and saw a group of boys also quickly look away and pretend to do other things.

Her acting was so bad it was laughable; she figured someone might use Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as an excuse to confess their feelings.

I hadn't really figured this out before.

Having been a girl for so long, I've gradually come to understand why most people's confessions of love are unsuccessful.

Because—without an emotional foundation, how could a girl possibly accept someone's confession so easily?

Unless you chat or hang out together frequently, it's basically wishful thinking to confess your feelings to someone you've had a crush on for a long time but haven't really spoken to.

From a girl's perspective, such a sudden confession is not a surprise but a shock, which will only make her wary and annoyed.

—It's like a mosquito suddenly landing on your forehead.

Shouldn't a true confession of love be something that happens naturally and spontaneously?

At the very least, there should be an emotional foundation.

The jeers in her ears grew louder and louder. She helplessly picked at her ears and saw that Hua Yinyin was finally almost finished with her test paper.

Perhaps that person ultimately didn't have the courage to send a love letter.
