A Young Woman's Heart

We played around until very late yesterday, having a pillow fight that lasted almost two hours, until we were both covered in sweat.

I had already informed my parents that I might stay overnight at Hua Yinyin's house.

Although she didn't really want to spend the night at her house, since she was already there, she probably couldn't escape it.

Instead of wearing flashy clothes, I might as well bring my own.

However, Hua Yinyin interpreted it as 'taking the initiative'.

However, the extra set of clothes I brought had to be washed again because of the pillow fight.

So later, the two of them took another shower.

Although they were washed separately this time, Mo Xueyao had no choice but to wear Hua Yinyin's clothes.

Although both of them are petite, Hua Yinyin is slightly smaller.

So when it was put on Mo Xueyao, it felt very strange.

The odd thing is that the sleeves or shoulders feel a little narrow, while the chest area feels too puffy.

It's like how the clothes are leaking air because something is missing to hold them up.

Fortunately, the night was no longer cold, which actually made her feel quite cool.

The only problem was that the briefs she changed into were silver-colored, and she said she had never worn them before, only washed them once after buying them...

But what exactly happened has raised deep suspicions.

But since there were no other clothes to change into, she had no choice but to put them on as well.

Being naked while showering is one thing, but being naked while sleeping is another.

Just like best friends among boys, if you have a good relationship, it's perfectly fine to shower together. But if you all take off your clothes and sleep together, that's a big problem!

The first rays of dawn had just emerged from the horizon, casting a slanting light upon Mo Xueyao.

She frowned and pulled her finger out of Hua Yinyin's mouth with a "pop" sound.

This made her wipe herself on Hua Yinyin's body with great disgust before sitting up straight and letting out a small yawn.

"Gum, gurgle..." Hua Yinyin smacked her lips, "I want...I want...more..."

"Get up!" Mo Xueyao shook her body. "I'm going home."

"Waaah...don't go...I'm not...full yet..." Hua Yinyin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth in her sleep and rested her head on Mo Xueyao's lap.

She wasn't very restless last night, I don't know if it was because the pillow fight used up too much energy, anyway, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Her sleeping posture is alright; at least she doesn't kick off the covers like Mo Xueyao. But she does have one drawback: she's extremely clingy...

However, without physical contact, this clinginess actually seems quite docile and not so annoying.

"What exactly are you eating in your dreams...?" Mo Xueyao was speechless.

"It's delicious." Hua Yinyin licked her lips. "Milk... milk..."

No wonder her family wholesales milk; she was even dreaming about drinking milk. Is she endorsing her own family's products?

Mo Xueyao shook her head, left Hua Yinyin behind, and climbed off the bed.

To be honest, she didn't really like Hua Yinyin's bed—her bed was so soft that you'd sink right into it when you lay down.

She had only ever slept in such a bed in big hotels.

However, having gotten used to a hard bed, she felt sore back and uncomfortable all over after sleeping on this kind of bed for one night.

You should know that this kind of bed is much more expensive than a hardboard bed.

It can only be said that they were not fortunate enough to enjoy expensive things.

Mo Xueyao washed up with a disposable toothbrush in the bathroom, and when she came back, she found that Hua Yinyin was almost asleep on the floor.

Half of her body was on the bed, while the other half—one hand and one foot—dangled off the bed, and half of her body was suspended in the air.

"Flower..." Mo Xueyao had barely uttered a word when the latter moved again, this time sliding completely to the floor.

"Thump!" A muffled sound rang out as her head slammed heavily onto the ground. Mo Xueyao felt a pang of pain in her teeth, worried that her head might have bled.

"Ouch—it hurts!" Hua Yinyin suddenly sat up. "Damn it, Xiao Yaoyao, you deliberately pushed me off the bed!"

"Hey, don't make false accusations. I didn't touch you at all."

"No matter what, it's all your fault. I was looking for you in my dream, but I couldn't find you, so I kept groping around to the side, and that's why I fell."

Mo Xueyao looked at her with droopy eyelids: "Don't you already know the reason?"

"Ouch, that hurts! I can't get up without Xiaoyao's help!"

"Then you can stay lying down forever." Mo Xueyao looked at her indifferently, turned around and walked to the living room. "I'll put your clothes back on first, I'll give them to you on Monday."

"Hmph, Xiao Yaoyao is so heartless!" Hua Yinyin pouted as she got up. "It's okay, you can keep wearing it."

"I don't want a weird outfit..." Mo Xueyao teased, "I'll have my mom wash it clean."

"No need, no need to wash!" Hua Yinyin shook her head vigorously.

"what?"

"It smells like Yao Yao! I can sleep better if I make it into a pillow!"

"You're such a pervert..." Mo Xueyao drawled, "Today is Wanyan's birthday, I need to go buy her a birthday present early, hmm, that'll be a good surprise for her. By the way, Yinyin, you're not mistaken, are you?"

"Absolutely right! By the way, if you want to buy a gift, go there."

"where?"

"A gift shop! My dad invested in it."

"Your dad invests in this?"

“Yeah, my dad also invested in a burger shop. I’ll take you there another day.” Hua Yinyin tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Hmm, there should be other shops too. I forgot. Anyway, my dad has invested in a lot of shops. Some are equity investments, and some are newly opened. He names the newly opened ones, and he always uses that name.”

"Which name?"

"It's my forum nickname." Hua Yinyin revealed two cute little tiger teeth mischievously. "Ahem, you'll find out when we get there."

"Why all the mystery?" Mo Xueyao had no interest in knowing. She put the clothes she had changed out of yesterday into a plastic bag, stuffed it into her backpack, and then walked to the door with it on her back. "Hurry up, we're about to leave."

"Okay, okay, at least let me wash up first, okay? Half an hour, Yaoyao, sit down for a while."

"so long……"

"There's no school today, so of course I want to dress up nicely before going out. Besides, half an hour is a very short time, okay?"

"Where is it short?" Mo Xueyao didn't think so at all. She plopped down on the sofa and waited idly.

Half an hour later, the two finally set off.

The time also changed from 8 o'clock to 8:30.

Although it was only a half-hour difference, it felt like most of the day had passed.

It's almost 9 o'clock at 8:30. If it's 9 o'clock, it's very close to noon. If it's noon, then half a day will have passed.

But no matter what, time still goes by.

The two took a bus to the vicinity of Longxiang Bridge.

Near the small commodity market near Longxiang Bridge, I found a gift shop that wasn't luxuriously decorated, but was very simple and clean.

The design style leans somewhat towards European.

However, not many people came to buy things.

Occasionally, people come to buy things, and they are mostly young people who plan to come here to choose gifts for their girlfriends.

Successful people buy branded products, while poor people tend to buy things based on practical value.

"Business isn't very good..."

"Actually, it's not too bad. There are more people during holidays, mostly buying gifts for their girlfriends. But there are also quite a few people who don't buy anything, just the gift box."

“Hmm… Silver Maiden Gift Shop…” Mo Xueyao paused, “Oh, your father’s burger shop, it wouldn’t be called Silver Maiden Burger Fried Chicken, would it?”

"Little Yaoyao is quite clever!"

"...If I'm not mistaken, I've been there."

"Really? I've only been there a few times."

"This world is too small..." Mo Xueyao muttered, pushing open the clean glass door and walking in.

The gifts sold inside are mostly not practical items, but rather handicrafts or small toys.

Plush toys account for the majority of these.

It seems that the main target audience is men who are planning to buy gifts for their girlfriends.

"Hmm... I don't think Wanyan would like these things." Mo Xueyao was already thinking about leaving.

"Hey, Hua Yinyin, you're here?" the shop owner called out first. Clearly, she knew Hua Yinyin, since the latter's father was the investor in the shop.

"Yes, Sister Zhang, do you know any gifts suitable for a rather old-fashioned girl?"

"Old-fashioned, girl?" The young woman, referred to as Sister Zhang, poked her cheek with her finger and tilted her head slightly. "Then a more practical gift would be better, wouldn't it?"

"So you don't have it here?" Hua Yinyin asked doubtfully.

"Of course, but there aren't many to choose from. Hmm, how about wallets? We have everything from cute to simple women's wallets, in canvas or leather."

"A wallet? That seems like a good option." Mo Xueyao remembered that Li Wanyan always kept her money in a crumpled plastic bag.

"Then let Xiaoyao pick out a wallet. Sister Zhang, you show her around~ I'll choose one myself."

"Okay, you must be Hua Yinyin's classmate? What's your name, little girl?"

"Uh... Mo Xueyao..."

"Mo Xueyao~ Come here, there are many wallets to choose from. See which one suits you. I suggest a dark color or something simple—if you're a conservative girl, you definitely won't like the flashy or cute kind."

"Hmm, let me see... Hmm... If we do the opposite, will it have a surprising effect?"

"You think this is some kind of military strategy game?" Hua Yinyin licked her canine teeth with her tongue. "But, the squad leader should like anything Xiao Yaoyao gave him, right?"

"Why?"

"intuition."
