A Young Woman's Heart

The reason I didn't write it inside the fruit shop is that I didn't want to be disturbed by the customers coming and going.

After all, it can be quite annoying to have someone walking around you.

This is completely different from simply hearing noise.

In the general store across the street, Zhuang Lianlian walked unhurriedly to Mo Xueyao's table: "Xiaoyao, there are some things I don't understand that I can ask you."

"Oh, that's great! Eh? You're going to school?" Mo Xueyao was a little confused.

"No, I just borrowed Cheng's textbook to study on my own," Zhuang Lianlian said with a shy smile.

Mo Xueyao nodded in surprise: "Ah, okay, sit down. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, or you can ask Wanyan."

"Either is fine." Li Wanyan, who was also writing on her test paper, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses.

A clanging sound came from afar, indicating that construction had begun at the site, which had recently affected the air quality, with more dust floating in the sunlight.

"Speaking of which, Chen Cheng also has a day off today, isn't he coming?" Mo Xueyao asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Zhuang Lianlian gently shook her head, "I told him not to come over."

"Huh? Why? Isn't it good to be with you?" Mo Xueyao rubbed her temples in confusion. "I don't understand what you young couples are thinking..."

"Xiaoyao and Wanyan are both so pretty, we can't let him look at them too much," Zhuang Lianlian said with a forced smile. "Especially since he'll be with everyone all day."

"Pfft, really? Can't I even take a look?"

"No way." Zhuang Lianlian's expression seemed to be joking, but her eyes betrayed it. "Men are all animals that can't control themselves."

"Pfft, you don't trust him at all."

“It’s not that I don’t trust you… I just…” Zhuang Lianlian gently covered her chest, “When his attention isn’t on me, I feel angina involuntarily.”

Mo Xueyao twitched the corner of her mouth, unsure whether the other person was joking or serious.

If this is true, then it's terrifying!

A woman with a strong desire for control.

"Okay, just kidding. He went out to play games with his male classmates."

"Oh..." Mo Xueyao nodded with some doubt.

Zhuang Lianlian was holding Chen Cheng's textbook and working on a workbook she had bought from the bookstore. She looked quite serious. At first, she went through all the knowledge points that had been piling up for a long time, and then she continued to look for the parts she didn't understand while doing the exercises.

This was something that even Mo Xueyao felt somewhat inferior to.

If she stopped going to school, she probably wouldn't continue studying so diligently.

"Is Lianlian planning to take the college entrance exam?" Mo Xueyao took off her shoes and placed her bare feet on Sutang's body.

"Yes, I plan to take the adult college entrance examination." Zhuang Lianlian nodded seriously. "I want to give it a try."

"Ah, maybe you really can pass the exam," Mo Xueyao encouraged.

"It's nothing... I don't have anything to do anyway."

“Hmm…” In fact, Mo Xueyao had wanted to ask Zhuang Lianlian about her past for a long time, but she hadn’t asked the question several times. This time she hesitated for a moment, but didn’t ask anything.

"Ah, I found it~" Just as Mo Xueyao was writing down the derivation formula for Zhuang Lianlian and explaining how she solved the problem, a cheerful voice rang out.

Shen Kelin, whose short hair barely reached her chin, shouted loudly from across the street with her schoolbag slung across her shoulder. She waited for a car to pass before rushing over impatiently.

"Hey~ I found you, Mo! Xue! Yao!" Shen Kelin's short hair swayed gently in the breeze. She was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and black mid-length shorts that just reached her knees.

Apart from that, there were no other decorations, not even hair clips.

Shen Kelin looks cool in all black; she would look even better with sunglasses on.

"...Shen Kelin, how did you know I was here?" Mo Xueyao touched the mole on her neck. The first girl who gave her the most headaches was Hua Yinyin, and the second was probably Shen Kelin.

Although she doesn't like to do intimate and awkward things like Hua Yinyin, her carefree nature often leads her to ask questions that make people blush.

She still vividly remembers that school broadcast.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!" Shen Kelin patted Mo Xueyao's shoulder forcefully, just like she did back in junior high school.

In a sense, she was practically his best friend.

It's just that the relationship can't go deeper because she's a girl.

"Hey, do I have a seat?"

“No—” Mo Xueyao said jokingly, drawing out her words, “You are not welcome here.”

"Tch, Xiaoyao's still as awkward as ever. She clearly likes me, but she pretends to hate me." Shen Kelin glanced at her sideways, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at? Who likes you?!" Mo Xueyao pulled a stool out from under the box, annoyed. "Here you go, what are you doing here?"

"Tsk tsk, of course I came here to have fun, and while I'm at it, let's do our homework together! It's more fun with more people."

"I don't understand why there need to be so many people doing homework." Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes.

Because she was talking to Shen Kelin, Zhuang Lianlian turned to Li Wanyan to ask about the things she didn't understand.

"Because there's so much homework! I have no motivation if we don't do it together!" Shen Kelin moved her chair next to Mo Xueyao. "The table is so small."

"Nonsense, it's just a folding table, it would be too cramped for four people to sit there."

"Um—Auntie! Do you still have any tables left?"

"Don't act like you're at home!"

"Xiaoyao's classmate? Hmm, oh, isn't this Shen Kelin?" My mother's memory is pretty good.

She had only seen her a few times at parent-teacher conferences, but because she had been Mo Xueyao's deskmate for a period of time, she had a deep impression of her.

"Yes, your 'child bride' has arrived!"

"What do you mean, what do you mean?!" Mo Xueyao shouted.

The mother didn't ask Shen Kelin what she knew, because judging from the current situation, her relationship with Mo Xueyao was still very good, so it didn't really matter what she knew or didn't know. The key was that she had a good impression of Shen Kelin.

"You still remember? Here, take this folding table, you and Xiaoyao can share it."

"Okay~ Thank you, Auntie!" Shen Kelin replied cheerfully, moving the table to a slightly more empty spot behind Mo Xueyao. "Xiaoyao, come sit here!"

"What's wrong...you really are..."

"What's wrong? Are you curious about what a 'child bride' is?"

"Tsk, even if it were, it wouldn't make a difference."

"Have you forgotten? We went to the same kindergarten."

"I remember something..."

“Back then, at lunchtime, kindergarten children could choose to take a nap or play by themselves in the kindergarten,” Shen Kelin said, resting her chin on her hand. “You loved to lie on my lap and sleep back then.”

"Alright, alright, alright... I've said it so many times, okay..." Mo Xueyao muttered, her eyelids drooping.

"Back then you said you wanted to marry me."

"Marry you? What the hell? Impossible, I never said that."

“During the parent-teacher conference, I even told Shen Kelin that I wanted her to be my childhood sweetheart,” the mother said with a smile. “She agreed.”

"What's the point of saying this now..." Mo Xueyao muttered with deep resentment, slamming her homework heavily onto Shen Kelin's desk.

"Haha, it was just a joke from when I was young anyway," Shen Kelin laughed heartily. "Xiaoyao, do you guys have a lot of homework this time?"

"Let me do the math. There are three test papers each for Chinese, Math, English, and Science. Then there's copying homework for Chinese and English. To be precise, there are six science papers, with Physics and Chemistry separate."

"Oh—I feel fine."

"I think that's quite a lot."

"Tch, our Class 5 has so much more!" Shen Kelin opened her schoolbag and took out a stack of homework. "Six test papers each for Chinese, Math, and English, five each for Physics and Chemistry, plus a lot of copying homework, and three weekly journal entries for Chinese, each 800 words long. It's killing me!"

"Only 800 words, not bad..." Mo Xueyao's "Sutang Diary," written for Sutang when she was bored, already had more than 3,000 words.

"Tsk, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. What did you finish writing? Let's see if our test papers are the same."

"We finished all the Chinese homework yesterday, since we don't have to write compositions in Chinese. Now we're working on the English homework."

"Can I borrow your Chinese textbook to copy?"

"Is this what you call doing homework together?"

"The 'sea of ​​questions' approach is useless! Anyway, you're just memorizing while copying. It's just Chinese homework; if you write it yourself, you're just copying from the textbook, right?"

"That's a fallacy, isn't it?"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Shen Kelin slammed her hand on the table. "Otherwise, I'll tell your mom about the time you crawled under my skirt when you were in kindergarten!"

"Hey!" Mo Xueyao was speechless.

Chapter 246 Mr. Snow and the Two Sisters

You don't need to start work too early at Ginniang Burger Shop.

Once you're familiar with it, arriving at 8 or 9 is fine.

Of course, the two sisters usually choose to arrive early rather than always late.

At 7:30 a.m., the two sisters were busy in the container house.

There was a knock on the clean glass door. The younger sister, Mo Zhuyou, was drawing back the curtains when the older sister, carrying a broom, walked to the door and opened it.

"Good morning." Mr. Xue, who was dressed very neatly, smiled at Mo Xiao and handed her a paper bag containing two glass bottles of fresh milk. He added humorously, "It's for delivering milk."

"Xiaoxue's here, good morning." Mo Xiao smiled and glanced at the bag in her hand. "Thank you, you always bring something."

"I bought it on the way," Mr. Xue nodded. "Are you going to work?"

"Yes, there will be an event over there for Labor Day, it will be very lively."

“Gradually, more and more people will come to live there.” Mr. Xue didn’t go inside the house. “I’ll borrow your yard for a moment.”

"No problem, feel free to use it~ Do you want the key?"
