A Young Woman's Heart

(To make it easier for everyone to identify them, when the two sisters appear together, they will be referred to as the older sister and the younger sister. Please don't mistake them for Mo Xueyao's older sister.)

"Uh... but... I didn't bring any money..." Mo Xueyao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I can still afford to treat you to a bath."

"OK then."

"Yay, let's go take a shower together~" My sister perked up a bit. She seems to like being around people, but she usually sleeps whenever she has free time at school.

"Hmm... the house is a bit messy, don't mind it." The older sister brushed her bangs aside and smiled gently.

"It's okay, don't ask me if I mind. It's enough that you don't mind."

"Hmm... Anyway, let's go back and get some clean clothes first."

So, Mo Xueyao and the two sisters went into a large area of ​​farmers' houses behind the village.

In the low-rise building, even the stairs are narrow. Mo Xueyao has lived in her current home since she can remember. Although it is not a high-end community, at least the stairs are quite spacious.

There aren't even motion-sensor lights here; you have to go up one floor and press a button, and the lights that do come on are very dim.

"Ugh...it's so cramped." Even the room was small; Mo Xueyao stood at the doorway and felt like she had nowhere to put her feet.

"Uh, please excuse my poor appearance," the older sister said somewhat shyly, twirling the ends of her dry, yellow hair with her fingers.

"Uh...can a whole family live in such a small place? Is it enough room?" Mo Xueyao asked curiously. "Hmm...aren't your parents home?"

"Parents? My sister and I haven't had parents for a long time."

"Oh? I'm so sorry!"

"It's nothing, it's all in the past," the younger sister waved her hand, not caring at all.

Before long, the older sister came out of the house with three changes of clothes and two washbasins.

"Let's go to the bathroom."

"Let's go~ the three of us together~" the younger sister raised her hand high, "Speaking of which, why did Xiaoyao suddenly think of coming here?"

"Hmm... because I only know where you two are. Luckily you're still working at the restaurant, otherwise I wouldn't know where to look for you."

"Xiaoyao, why did you leave in such a hurry and not want to go home? Did you run away from home?" Her younger sister winked at her.

"That's it."

"That won't do, our parents will worry." The younger sister, who is usually taken care of by her older sister, advised like a little adult today, "It's better to go home early."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow..." Mo Xueyao was a little embarrassed and didn't want to continue the topic.

"I know, I know, it would be embarrassing to go back right away, right? Well, it's okay to stay a few more days." The younger sister smiled mischievously, then yawned widely and mumbled, "So sleepy..."

"So the reason Youyou is so sleepy every day is because she stays up too late at night?"

"Yes, I only sleep five or six hours a day..."

"Then why didn't you notice that Xiaoxiao was very sleepy?"

"My sister probably has the ability to be energetic after sleeping only four or five hours," the younger sister said, scratching her hair, which wasn't as dry and yellow as her sister's. "I, on the other hand, can't do that."

This bathhouse is a bit bigger than the one near Mo Xueyao's house, and it's open 24 hours a day in winter.

The bathhouse also has complete individual cubicles.

The so-called completeness means that each cubicle is like a small room, which can completely protect one's privacy.

This relieved Mo Xueyao, but also left her with a slight sense of disappointment.

Because she has a small question recently.

That means there's still no hair growing in that area, including under the armpits.

Something feels off.

Is it that girls of this age don't grow taller, or is she just a special case?

Meanwhile, the two sisters were taking a shower in the room next to hers.

The two of them shared a cubicle.

Perhaps it's because we've relied on each other for so many years, but it always feels like we can't be apart for a moment when we're out together.

"Hehe, haha—sister...it tickles!"

"Who told you to try something naughty again, little sister?"

"Tch, I'm just curious why some of the hairs on my sister's pubic area are yellowish."

"You're always curious about this?"

"Touching you won't kill you~ Let me rub your back!"

Are you rubbing my back?

"No problem, rub both sides together~"

"Stop messing around, scratch there, right there, it was a little itchy before."

"now what?"

"Much better, but your nails are too long, you should trim them."

"I cut my nails, how am I going to scratch my sister's itch?"

"Come on, okay? Okay, okay, be serious and wash yourself properly. It costs money to take a bath every time, so don't waste it. Take a little longer."

"Sister, I want to take a bath."

"Don't go there, it's very dirty. If you get a gynecological disease, you'll have to spend even more money."

"I really wish we had a bathtub in our house..."

"Pfft, you're lucky if you even have a bathroom at home, let alone a bathtub? You're dreaming!"

Everyone needs to have dreams, right?

……

Chapter 143 Christmas 1999 (Part 1)

The girls' soft bodies pressed tightly together, their cheeks almost touching.

Although the cardboard box was filled with books, it had dented a bit after sleeping there overnight.

In the dream, the blankets, not enough for three people, were unconsciously snatched away, so that only the person in the middle could have a blanket.

The younger sister, sleeping in the middle, was sweating profusely, while the older sister on the other side held her tightly to keep warm.

Even Mo Xueyao unconsciously moved closer to her younger sister.

Of course, some subconscious instinct made her restrain herself from actually reaching out to hug her sister.

However, it was indeed a bit cold since there was no blanket on my feet.

Fortunately, the room is small and not very well ventilated, which is a good thing in winter, at least you won't feel so cold all over.

But Mo Xueyao was still woken up by the cold.

Opening her eyes and looking at the sky outside the window where the sun was not visible, the first thing she wanted to do was put on her socks.

But as soon as she sat up, the blanket was pulled off, and a gust of cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, making her shiver. She turned slightly to the side and accidentally fell to the ground.

Thankfully, the cement floor was covered with soft foam mats, otherwise it would have hurt a lot.

The loud thud woke my sister from her dream.

"Hmm... what's wrong, little sister?"

"Hmm...?" The younger sister, still lying in bed, was fast asleep and only responded unconsciously.

Then the older sister remembered that Mo Xueyao had also slept here last night. She insisted on sleeping on the outermost side, so it must have been her who fell down just now.

"Xiao Yao, are you alright?" Just as Mo Xueyao was feeling dizzy from the fall, a fair arm was stretched out in front of her. Perhaps due to a lack of nutrition, the arm appeared somewhat pale, and the skin was slightly rougher than hers.

"Ah...it's alright." Mo Xueyao rubbed the back of her head, grabbed the hand her sister offered, and laboriously climbed back onto the bed.

"What's wrong? Are you awake?" my sister asked with a smile.

"No...it's just so cold." As she spoke, she sneezed loudly, causing her clothes to slip off her body.

The older sister's clothes were a bit bigger than hers, mainly because of the large difference in bra cup size. They fit her perfectly, but were a bit loose on Mo Xueyao.

Since she wasn't wearing anything underneath, her clothes almost fell straight down when she sneezed. Just as the outline of a small steamed bun appeared, her sister quickly reached out and grabbed the clothes, pulling them back onto Mo Xueyao's shoulder.

"Achoo!" Once a sneeze starts, it often comes in a chain. Mo Xueyao sneezed three times in a row, feeling like her brain was about to be thrown out.

"Here, wipe your nose." Her older sister took a clean handkerchief from under her pillow and handed it to her. "After you're done wiping, just put it on the cardboard box next to you."

"Thank you."

"And, um... the clothes are going to fall down again."

"Well!"

Mo Xueyao awkwardly covered her neckline: "Xiaoxiao's clothes are too big..."

"Hmm, I should dress you in Youyou's clothes." The older sister smiled and climbed out from inside. "If Xiaoyao isn't awake yet, come inside and sleep. It's warm inside."

"Hey, what about you?"

"It's okay, it's already 6:30, I should be waking up soon enough."

"But I haven't even had eight hours of sleep yet. It's rare for me to get a good night's rest. Sorry... I disturbed you..."

"No, Xiaoyao, you don't need to blame yourself so much, pfft." The older sister covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes curving like crescent moons. "I usually only sleep for a short time, and I already took the day off last night. My sister and I can both rest today."

"Huh, how did they manage to get us here during the busiest time of Christmas?"
