A Young Woman's Heart

"I know, I know, just one piece." Mo Xueyao picked up the piece of bread, dipped it in the sauce, took a big bite, then paused for a moment, and then started eating it in small bites.

The original plan was to stay for about half a month or two. Half a month is about ten days, and two weeks is fifteen days. That's how most people probably understand it.

However, this also depends on whether the teachers have sufficient funding, although it seems that Ye Wen's family is not short of money at all.

Seeing that Mo Xueyao had finished eating, Mr. Xue stood up very consciously and started clearing away the plates.

"Ah, I can do it myself. You've already cooked for me, I'll wash the dishes." Mo Xueyao hurriedly stopped her. "Uh, let me sit a little longer, I don't want to move after I finish eating..."

"It's alright, you're the patient, I'll take care of it." Mr. Xue smiled gently, picked up the tray and went back to the kitchen, followed by the sound of washing dishes.

After the dishes were washed, the villa fell silent once again.

Mo Xueyao glanced back at Mr. Xue, who had refilled her cup with tea, and asked lazily, "Going to sleep?"

"Hmm, aren't you going up?"

"I'm not too sleepy, I've slept all day... Ugh, never mind, I'll just go back to my room, wrap myself in my coat and enjoy the scenery for a while."

The central air conditioning is always on, and the temperature is relatively low. After all, you can put on clothes when it's cold, but you can't take them off when it's hot, which takes care of most people.

The students who came to the beach this time weren't so selfish—but some of them insisted on turning up the air conditioning temperature for their own comfort, making it too hot for others to sleep.

Mr. Xue's room was closer to the stairs. He quickly stopped at his door and said goodbye to Mo Xueyao: "Good night."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Mo Xueyao waved and walked straight back to her room.

"Mo Xueyao?" Lu Bolun, who was in the room, had two pillows under his head and was playing the game console that Gao Yuan had lent him.

"Ah."

"Tsk, two people secretly going on a date in the middle of the night?" Lu Bolun blinked one eye. "No way, is our school beauty about to be...?"

"No, it was just a coincidence," Mr. Xue said honestly with a smile.

"Why did it take so long?"

"She was hungry, so I made her something to eat."

"Wow, it's so good? You must really like it, right?"

“Of course not.” Mr. Xue looked at him seriously. “If you are sick and hungry in the middle of the night, I will cook for you.”

“Oh—although I’m very touched, please don’t say that, it’s kind of cheesy,” Lu Bolun said with a joking laugh. “I’m getting goosebumps.”

"Go to sleep."

"Hmm, it's about time he went to sleep..." Lu Bolun said, yawning widely. "I wonder if Lele is asleep yet."

"They must be asleep."

"How did you know? Did you peek?" Luberon teased.

Mr. Xue knew he was joking, so he didn't answer. He simply took off his coat and trousers and quietly lay down in bed.

And so the day was drawing to a close, the story turning to the next page as the clock struck twelve…

Chapter 49 Going to the Crowded Beach

The small town has two beaches.

It lies just beyond the forest, an undeveloped area.

The other area is in the city center. Even though it's a small city, many tourists still visit the open beaches during holidays.

The beach itself is free; it's just that the recreational facilities set up along the beach cost money.

Those who have some spare money, but not too much, are middle-class and love this place.

Moreover, the beaches in small cities are of very high quality. Even this beach, which is frequently visited, has stretches of soft golden sand. Because there are many sanitation workers and trash cans, the beach is not too dirty.

The only downside is probably that it gets too crowded during holidays.

But some people might actually prefer such a lively beach.

It's like some people who have a computer at home but still insist on going to an internet cafe to play games.

So today we came to the crowded beach.

However, not everyone is planning to come.

After all, they had just gone sea fishing the day before yesterday, and played a lot of games at the villa during the day yesterday. In the evening, many people went to the beach to swim and have a barbecue. Some people were tired and wanted to rest at home. Anyway, there are plenty of entertainment activities at home. Only those with more energy chose to go out and play today.

They were riding in Qiu Yi's old Alto and Wang Qianyu's cool sports car.

To be honest, if these two cars were driving on the road, no one would believe they came from the same villa, let alone that the two drivers were a family...

Although I don't know what the relationship is between Wang Qianyu and Qiu Yi, they seem to be like cousins, so they can definitely be considered family, right?

Mo Xueyao's fever had just subsided, and she had originally planned to leisurely sunbathe on the beach in front of the villa today, but she was dragged away by the energetic Hua Yinyin.

Besides Mo Xueyao, Li Wanyan, and Hua Yinyin, the people in Qiu Yi's car today also include Lu Chengyuan, who replaced Huang Yuxi.

Huang Yuxi didn't want to go out, so she didn't come.

The small, hidden earring on his ear, meant to prevent it from healing, seems to have remained undiscovered until now.

Or perhaps everyone saw it, but pretended not to, for fear of upsetting his somewhat fragile heart?

Sitting next to Wang Qianyu were Wang Jiale and Lü Bolun, as well as Mr. Xue, who looked like a 100-watt light bulb.

It wasn't that he was particularly interested in joining in the fun; he just wanted to see more different scenery.

In his words, "Since we're already out here, why not travel around more?"

"Goodbye, snail!" The two cars drove out of the villa gate side by side, while Wang Qianyu lowered the roof of her car, waved the lollipop in her hand at Qiu Yi while wearing sunglasses, and then sped away with a throttle.

"Wow—!" Having ridden in Wang Qianyu's sports car several times, Lu Bolun was already used to the feeling. He let out a strange shout of excitement before disappearing into the distance.

The sports car, as vibrant as a blazing fire, vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

For a brief moment, Mo Xueyao even felt that Qiu Yi's car hadn't moved at all.

However, sitting in the passenger seat, she glanced at the dashboard and realized that the speed had actually been quite high, reaching 40 miles per hour...

There's no need to drive that fast on the trails through the forest.

"Won't you be speeding?" Lu Chengyuan asked, stuffing the lollipop Wang Qianyu gave her into her mouth.

“Ha... There are no surveillance cameras all the way to the suburban highway. Although the speed limit should be around 60 miles per hour, in reality, even if you exceed that, you won’t get caught on camera…” Qiu Yi smiled helplessly. “So she’s always driving at high speed in places like this. Just now, that speed… was probably 120 miles per hour.”

"What size are we?" Lu Chengyuan asked curiously.

"Just accelerated to fifty miles per hour." Qiu Yi accelerated very smoothly, giving almost no feeling of being pushed back. Although it lacked the dynamism of driving, the passengers felt much more comfortable.

If you're not used to riding in Wang Qianyu's car, you'll definitely throw up your dinner from the night before.

"...Will they be alright?" Lu Chengyuan asked worriedly.

"It's alright, it's alright. Although Qianyu seems reckless, she still knows her limits. Besides, that car has excellent performance; even at 120 km/h, it can brake in less than two seconds."

"Anyway, there's absolutely no way I'd ride in that sports car." Lu Chengyuan shook her head vigorously.

"Maybe it'll be exciting?" Hua Yinyin provoked. "So Cheng Yuan is really that timid?"

"Tch, you dare sit here?"

Hua Yinyin's face stiffened, and she pretended not to hear as she looked out the window.

Li Wanyan sat behind Mo Xueyao. She raised her arm and gently poked her head: "Are you feeling any better?"

"It's alright, but I feel a bit weak and sleepy." Mo Xueyao said, yawning widely. Through the rearview mirror, she could see the open window in the back and Li Wanyan's slightly worried face.

"Oh, right, Mo Xueyao, can you do me a favor? See that drawer in the passenger seat?"

"This one in front of me?"

“Yes, yes.” Qiu Yi glanced at it sideways and nodded. “There’s a CD case inside.”

"And then? There are lots of CDs inside."

"Take the blue-gray one."

“Blue-gray…what exactly is blue-gray?” Mo Xueyao flipped through the pages.

Hua Yinyin, sitting on the other side of the back row, glanced at it a few times and immediately exclaimed, "Look! This one is blue-gray!"

"Yes, that's right." Qiu Yi slowed down a bit and glanced at it again. "Put it in the car CD player. Do you know how to do that?"

"Not really."

"You just press a big black button, and a drawer for storing CDs will pop out. Then you put the CD in, and it will play automatically."

"it is good."

After fumbling around for a while, Mo Xueyao finally managed to install the disc.

It's a bit like a CD player, but since it's in a car, she didn't dare to press so many buttons randomly, which is why it took her a little longer.

"The car is really nice, it feels like a collection of all kinds of high technology," Mo Xueyao said enviously. "Although I liked the previous RV the most, this small personal car feels pretty good too."

"Right? You can go anywhere, haha." Qiu Yi said, then saw some villagers walking by outside the window. He seemed to recognize a few of them, so he waved and greeted them, "Yo—!"

The other person was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved.

There was little small talk, as the car quickly overtook them.

"Speaking of which, isn't there air conditioning in the car?" Mo Xueyao asked, feeling the hot air blowing in from the window.

"Uh, the air conditioner is broken and hasn't been fixed yet," Qiu Yi said with an awkward laugh. "Because the air conditioner in this car was an aftermarket addition, it keeps having problems, which is quite annoying."

"Okay..." That was all Mo Xueyao could say.

However, having gotten used to the wind outside the window, it didn't feel too uncomfortable.

It was a seaside city after all, so even though it was hot, it wasn't too stuffy. Mo Xueyao leaned back in her chair and even drifted off to sleep.

I was eventually woken up by Qiu Yi.

When I woke up, I was already on the beach in this city.
