A Young Woman's Heart

(One)

The spring sunshine outside is brilliant, and the distant construction site always echoes with heavy, booming sounds. The towering cranes are tall and huge, like bridges connecting the clouds.

Recently, the farmland and villages along the road seem to have decreased, replaced by fenced-off construction sites.

News reports say that Hangzhou plans to expand its urban area and develop the entire city into a highly modern metropolis.

Mo Xueyao rode her rainbow-colored bicycle alone, with a dusty wind blowing in her face.

Li Wanyan didn't come along because she was still lying in bed taking a nap.

—Even though I'm already awake, I just don't want to get out of bed.

Occasionally, she'll slack off and cheat.

So Mo Xueyao went out alone.

She's going for a checkup today; it feels like it was ages since her last one.

Actually, there's no need for a follow-up examination. However, since Dr. Wang will be staying in this city for a few days, he's taking the opportunity to have Mo Xueyao checked out, just in case, and also to see how her mental state is lately.

Although Mo Xueyao felt it was completely unnecessary to go, considering that this might be the last check-up, she listened to her parents.

The wind lifted a strand of hair that hung at her temple, as if stirring up her memories of her boyhood.

She opened her mouth wide, wanting to sing a song she used to sing most often, but instead her mouth was filled with sand: "Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!!"

The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Province remains as busy as ever.

There always seem to be so many people seeking medical treatment. You can always see people rushing around with medical records in hand, and you can always see family members pushing wheelchairs to accompany patients.

Although she hadn't even entered the building, the smell of disinfectant seemed to already be filling her mouth.

"Hello, registration." Mo Xueyao took out her medical record book, which was covered with a lot of scribbles. She couldn't understand most of it. The few sentences she could understand were ones that Dr. Yunmeng had specifically written down for her to read.

"Which department?"

"I should have made an appointment with Dr. Yunmeng in the urology department."

"Okay, an appointment with a specialist, right?"

"Ah...yes, oh, and also, do a blood test to check hormone levels."

After registering, she went upstairs and had her blood drawn at the corner. She just needs to wait for the results and pick up the report later.

Further on, in the consultation room, a man was somewhat embarrassed as he described his symptoms. Yunmeng listened attentively, nodding repeatedly, and wrote out a prescription.

Mo Xueyao peeked out and greeted Yunmeng, "Yun...Doctor?"

"Oh? You're here. Wait a moment, Dr. Wang will be right there."

"Mmm, no rush." ​​Mo Xueyao nodded vigorously and plopped down on the row of green plastic chairs by the door.

……

The door, which had been open just moments before, was suddenly closed, and Yunmeng's voice could be faintly heard coming from inside.

It seemed that the young man was laid on the bed, followed by a long silence.

Do you have a girlfriend? Or have you been frequenting certain places lately?

"Uh...no..."

"It's inflamed, and quite badly. Don't do it so frequently anymore, how many times a week?"

"Twice a day..." The man's voice was very soft, and only Mo Xueyao, who was sitting near the door of the consultation room, could barely hear it.

"Pfft." She covered her mouth with a hint of schadenfreude. She knew exactly what they were talking about. Although she had never done those things herself, it was common for her good buddies to talk about these strange topics.

"Isn't that too frequent? It's very harmful to the body. It's best to do it once or twice a week, which is healthier."

"it is good……"

After a few minutes of silence, the man let out an ambiguous inhale.

"hiss--"

"Just collect the data, don't move around."

"Cough... I feel my back pain has gotten much better."

"How about I get you a medical massager? Of course, you can't use it too often..."

"No, no need!"

Mo Xueyao was already covering her mouth, laughing so hard she was shaking, when suddenly a hand gently patted her shoulder: "What are you laughing at?"

"Um! Dr. Wang... Ah, no, it's nothing..." She hurriedly raised her head and saw Dr. Wang, who was still the same as before, looking at her with a smile.

Actually, it's not that I haven't lost any hair at all; for example, it seems like I've lost another inch of my hair.

……

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?" Dr. Wang patted her shoulder again before lowering his hand and asking kindly.

"Hmm... I'd say it's pretty good, right?"

The door to the consultation room opened just then, and the young man who had just gone in walked out with his legs together, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Dr. Wang then naturally led Mo Xueyao inside.

She sniffed hard, sensing a strange smell in the air.

Fortunately, the window was open the whole time, and the wind blew in and out, so the smell dissipated in no time.

"Come on~ the little beauty is almost a big beauty, okay, lie down on the bed first~" Although they hadn't met many times, Yunmeng acted as if she knew her very well, joking with a hint of teasing.

Mo Xueyao coughed softly and lay down on the bed.

As before, Yunmeng put on sterilized disposable gloves. Although Dr. Wang did not do it himself, he also put on a mask. The air he exhaled from his nose caused a thin layer of fog to form on his glasses.

"Hmm, it's in pretty good condition. I've been paying attention to cleaning, so it's quite clean. But it still hasn't grown any fur? That means I need to be even more careful about hygiene..."

"Being young is great, haha." Dr. Wang nodded. "Your body's metabolism is fast, so there are almost no surgical scars."

Mo Xueyao blushed slightly, closed her eyes, and answered their questions haltingly.

The examination itself didn't take much time, but it felt incredibly long to her because she hadn't had one in a long time.

After finally managing to straighten her clothes and sit down again, she breathed a sigh of relief.

……

(Fives)

"Your estrogen levels are on the higher side for your age, but still within the normal range—have you stopped taking your previous medication?"

"No, that's all."

"Yes, there's no need to take any more medicine. Your hormone levels are very stable now." Dr. Wang nodded, looking at the test results one by one on the form. Yunmeng, standing next to him, looked more like a student watching her teacher diagnose a patient.

"I remember you were a little anemic before your surgery that year. Have your living conditions improved now? Or have you become less picky about food? Haha, you've returned to normal levels."

"Cough—I guess I ate something good." Mo Xueyao looked down at her chubby thigh and couldn't help but give it a gentle pinch.

She was actually a little worried that she might be gaining weight because she was getting too much nutrition.

"How have you been lately?" Dr. Wang put down the test results and asked the question that Mo Xueyao hadn't answered seriously earlier.

"It's good—isn't it?"

"I mean, how's your love life? During your three years of high school, did you have a crush on anyone? Or date anyone? Did you have any particular physical urges?" Dr. Wang spoke very seriously, but Mo Xueyao was still a little embarrassed to look him in the eye.

"Ah, this... uh..."

Yunmeng smiled and took a sip of water: "You have to answer seriously, so we can confirm your current mental state."

"Yes, don't be shy. Or you don't have to treat us like people with feelings; just think of us as machines that take your X-rays." Dr. Wang touched his bald head.

"Ah, well," Mo Xueyao blushed and turned her head slightly, "when I'm taking a bath... I can't help but touch it a few times, it feels so good..."

"Where to touch?"

"This, here," she stammered, pointing to the location of her heart.

"Hmm, only here?"

"right……"

“It’s normal, don’t be shy.” Dr. Wang remained serious. “It’s good to make yourself happy within reasonable limits, but be careful not to harm yourself. Appropriate release is good for your health. When you feel the need, use normal methods. After all, you’re not an ordinary girl, so you might not understand how to avoid hurting yourself.”

Dr. Wang was clearly well-prepared. He took out many anatomical illustrations in the same style as those in textbooks and explained to her how women typically achieve pleasure, like teaching a child, starting from the beginning: "The most common thing teenage girls do is clench their legs. That's when their enlightenment begins. The principle behind the feeling of clenching your legs is..."

Mo Xueyao was initially too shy to look, but because Dr. Wang's teaching style was so much like a class, seriously and earnestly imparting knowledge, it actually lessened a lot of the awkwardness.

"...Remember, this method can harm your body, and you must wash your hands thoroughly before starting. Also, remember, women are more susceptible to illnesses than men, who have stronger resistance in this area..."

"……it is good."

The class lasted for an hour. During that time, Yunmeng even moved to the spare urology consultation room next door to continue seeing patients, so as not to keep them waiting.

They also asked a lot of other questions during the session, all of which were the kind that could easily make people shy.

"...Yes, your mental and psychological state is quite good. However, some deeply ingrained beliefs from childhood may be difficult to change. But I hope you don't care too much about other people's opinions. As long as you've considered it and are sure it's someone you love, regardless of gender, just go for it."

"Let's talk about it later..." Mo Xueyao scratched her head. "I don't want to hurt others, nor do I want to hurt myself, whether it's my parents or the person I like. I probably don't plan to get married?"

"Hehe, that depends on your choice. By the way, here's my phone number. It's my personal number. You can contact me to discuss any problems. Hehe, it might give you some direction in solving your problems."

"it is good……"

"That's all for today's checkup. If you feel unwell in the future, come back for another checkup. Otherwise, there's no need for a follow-up."

"Okay! Goodbye, Dr. Wang!"

"Okay—should we take these materials back and look at them at our leisure?" Dr. Wang pointed to the textbook-like diagrams of various human body postures on the table.

"No, that won't be necessary!" Mo Xueyao blushed and ran away as fast as she could.

The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed gently, making a soft rustling sound.
