A Young Woman's Heart

"It's too far."

Do you still want to go to university near home?

"Ah."

"Haha, you're not worried that if you go among a bunch of geniuses, you'll seem less of a 'genius,' are you?"

"Perhaps?" Mr. Xue was very frank.

This left Yang Yankai speechless.

A gentle breeze rustled across the grass. Mr. Snow gazed at the blue sky and then asked, "And you?"

"Me? Well, I just need to get into a university, something in agriculture will do."

"I know, you said that."

"Then why did you ask? Haha."

"Let's see if you've changed your mind."

"I won't change it." Yang Yankai swung the hammer and struck it hard again and again.

The frame is already in its basic shape; now all that's left is to install the shelves.

This is a shelf for storing tools. It's placed in the yard, and besides tools, it can also be used to hang sausages and cured meats.

The design is also quite unique, as it is tiered and takes up a larger area, but if you want to dry things, each layer can get sunlight.

Mr. Xue patted Black Chocolate's head, as if he had pressed some switch, and a row of small round balls rolled out of its bottom. He didn't seem to care at all, just patted them lightly, and didn't chase them off.

"Speaking of which, it's quite unexpected that you have so much leisure and refined tastes, Xiaoxue."

"Hehe... Everyone seeks meaning in life, doesn't they?"

Chapter 239 Standing Guard at the School Gate

(One)

"Xiaoyao! What are you still doing in the band room? You need to stand in the etiquette duty!"

"Huh? Oh, it's Monday today..."

"Here!" Wang Jiale tossed the sash to Mo Xueyao, then quickly pinned the red armband with the words "Duty Officer Zhou" printed on it to his arm.

"Let's go, let's go..." Mo Xueyao glanced at her watch; it was already past 6:40.

At Yukong High School, the etiquette staff must arrive before 6:50.

It takes about an hour to stand there, and it doesn't end until eight o'clock.

There was no one else in the band room except her. She had just been wondering why it was so quiet today. It turned out that everyone had gone to do their cleaning duty. No wonder it was so empty.

She casually closed the door and followed Wang Jiale as they quickly ran down the steps.

The wind lifted her long hair, and her skirt swayed in the breeze.

……

(two)

"Huff, huff... We're here..." Mo Xueyao was panting heavily, her head covered in large beads of sweat. In contrast, Wang Jiale's chest was only slightly heaving, making him seem much more at ease.

"We're here? Hurry up and stand in line." Xuan Anyi was already standing on one side of the school gate. Mo Xueyao and Wang Jiale quickly ran over and stood next to her in order of height.

The shortest, Wang Jiale, stood on the outermost edge, while Mo Xueyao was in the middle.

"Is this our last week on duty?" Li Hongran, standing opposite, looked relaxed. "Wow, this is the first time I've found standing at the etiquette post quite interesting."

"Heh..." Chen Cheng remained noncommittal. He always had a habit of showing disdain for what others said first—like curling his lip like this now.

Standing next to these two guys, An Ruosu, who is 1.76 meters tall, suddenly looked rather petite.

Even though he is actually a whole head taller than Xuan Anyi here.

There's no harm without comparison.

Leaving aside Li Hongran, who is 1.95 meters tall and could easily participate in professional basketball games, let's talk about Chen Cheng, who is 1.82 meters tall...

The key point is that Chen Cheng's face looks even younger than An Ruosu's, even with a bit of baby fat, but he is so much taller than An Ruosu.

"Okay, Susu, cheer up today!"

"Ah."

"Chen Cheng, you too, don't look so listless. Stand up straight, we're in the etiquette department!" Li Hongran stood up straight with great enthusiasm and nudged Chen Cheng's shoulder with her elbow.

"Tsk." Chen Cheng clearly looked annoyed, but still straightened his back helplessly.

Mo Xueyao and the others on the opposite side couldn't help but straighten up a bit more as well.

……

(three)

Mo Xueyao recalled the last time she stood at the etiquette post, but before she could think about it carefully, she heard Li Hongran shout in the loud voice of a military training instructor: "Attention—!!"

Startled, she quickly came to her senses and looked at the teacher who was walking into the school.

I don't know which class they were in, but I've seen them at school before.

Meanwhile, Li Hongran, on the other side, had already taken the lead and bowed slightly, calling out the second half of her sentence: "Hello, teacher!!"

The teacher was an older man. He looked to both sides, smiled, and nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.

"Phew..." Wang Jiale finally let out a sigh of relief after the teacher left, muttering in complaint, "What were you all doing, making so much noise?"

"Of course, you need to be energetic in the morning!" Li Hongran replied matter-of-factly.

Chen Cheng, standing next to him, bluntly criticized him, saying, "He's sick."

"Pfft..." An Ruosu couldn't help but cover her mouth with her arm and laugh out loud, "Chen Cheng, you were shouting pretty loudly just now too..."

"I had no choice but to shout when he shouted." Chen Cheng tilted his head, raised his face slightly, and looked at Li Hongran. There weren't many people around him who required him to look up to them, and Li Hongran was one of them, so he looked even more annoyed. "He's sick."

Mo Xueyao put her hands behind her back and swayed her body gently back and forth: "Lele, you'll get used to it. He did the same thing last time and scared several teachers half to death."

"Hehe—" Li Hongran was not ashamed at all, but rather proud. "What do you know? This is how we let the teacher feel our vibrant spirit!"

"Okay." Xuan Anyi smiled, pursing her lips. "But we girls can't shout as loudly as you guys."

"It's okay, just keep shouting. We need to make sure the sound travels throughout the whole school!"

"Don't be so ambitious in weird places, okay..." Mo Xueyao shook her head helplessly.

As we were chatting, another teacher approached from a distance.

They were Yao Gugu, the chemistry teacher, and Ye Yu, the physics teacher, who taught them before the class division.

The red-haired Yao Gugu tilted her head slightly, chatting happily with Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu, when are you going to build a small nuclear power plant?"

"Hehe, let alone nuclear power plants, we'll even develop nuclear batteries for you."

"You're just talking big~" Yao Gugu covered her mouth and laughed. The two walked side by side and had already arrived at the school gate.

Li Hongran suddenly stood up straight and began to shout at the top of her lungs: "Attention—!!"

"Hello, teacher!"

All six of them shouted loudly, and even Wang Jiale joined in.

However, it was probably the first time she had shouted so loudly at the school gate, which made her face turn red, and she looked away at the ground, not daring to look at anyone.

"Holy crap!" Ye Yu jumped half a step to the side in fright. "Damn it, it's you guys again."

"Hahaha, hello Teacher Ye Yu!" Li Hongran laughed triumphantly. "Hello, Teacher Yao Gugu!"

"You seem quite energetic?" Yao Gugu asked with a smile.

"of course!"

"You little brat—if you've got the guts, wait until the vice principal comes and you'll yell just as loud."

"No problem!" Li Hongran saluted.

Ye Yu had a reason for saying that, because from a distance, the somewhat bald man was walking over.

Although the vice principal has a car, he lives very close by, so he is more used to walking to school every day.

This time, even Chen Cheng raised the corners of his mouth. He had long disliked the vice principal and was taking this opportunity to scare him.

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, waiting for the vice principal to approach, and then stole Li Hongran's lines: "Attention—!"

"Hello, teacher!"

The sound this time was louder than the previous two times combined, so much so that everyone entering the school and standing at the school gate couldn't help but look at them.

Wang Jiale stuck out her tongue, her face flushed, but unexpectedly felt a sense of excitement and satisfaction.

The vice principal was taken aback, then swept his stern old face over the six people.

Mo Xueyao couldn't help but shrink her neck, feeling that he was on the verge of exploding.

But to my surprise, he suddenly grinned and laughed, giving me two thumbs up: "Good, very energetic! Keep it up!"

"No problem!" Li Hongran saluted.

"That's really good. I wish our school's etiquette team could always be like this." The vice principal nodded in satisfaction and walked into the school.

After he left, everyone looked at each other for a few moments, and then couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh.

……

(four)

An hour of guard duty can feel both fast and slow, but it was finally time to close the school gates.

There were quite a few people who rushed into the school right on time.

Of course, some people were late.
