A Young Woman's Heart

"Oh! Thank you..."

"You're welcome." Mo Xueyao waved and left the general store.

Then, she used the fruit shop's landline to call Li Gutao.

"Hey? You idiot Tao? What the hell are you doing?"

"Cough cough!" The father, who was arranging flowers, coughed a few times forcefully.

Mo Xueyao turned her head away, pretending not to see her parents' expressions.

When chatting with my best friend, I always feel a bit awkward if I don't use some swear words.

"Hey, you son of a bitch, why are you still so unladylike?" Just as Li Gutao finished speaking, a girl's voice came from the side—

"Who?"

"Ah, it's one of my best friends."

"Your female best friend?" The voice drew closer.

Li Gutao's voice, however, was a little distant: "Ha...ha...cough, it's that girl I told you about before, the one from before, uh, we became best friends because she disguised herself as a boy, and our friendship is still there after all these years..."

"Humph……"

"Hey kid, looks like you've been having a tough time lately? henpecked?" Mo Xueyao chuckled in a low voice.

"Damn, why are you deliberately lowering your voice? It sounds disgusting."

"What? You actually said my voice is disgusting? Tsk, hey, let's not talk about anything else, do me a favor."

"What is it? Just say it!"

"Come to Mid-Levels Park another day and help me out. If that guy doesn't listen to me, you can hold him down for me! Well, generally you don't need to lift a finger, just support me from the shadows."

"Oh, what happened? Did you get into trouble?"

"No, it's just some other things, well, it has nothing to do with fighting, don't worry."

"Okay, should we call that kid Shi Haiming over?"

"Is he free?"

"Oh my, this kid is so bored! He only serves rich women two or three times a week, and does whatever he wants the rest of the time."

"Then why doesn't he come to play with me?"

"Maybe he's afraid the rich woman will misunderstand," Li Gutao laughed loudly.

"Ugh—this guy doesn't treat me like a brother," Mo Xueyao muttered under her breath.

"He treats you like a brother, but that rich woman doesn't. Besides, you don't look like a 'brother' at all! I have to tell Huihui before I go to see you! Otherwise, she'll think I'm going to meet my lover!"

"I want to go with you." Lin Huihui's voice came from the side. Just like before, it was full of the delinquent girl vibe, but the two of them seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

"what?"

"It's fine, she can come too. If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. What's the big deal?"

"Sigh, it's such a hassle to have a girlfriend at a gathering of close friends."

"Shouldn't you call me wife?" Lin Huihui seemed to have pinched Li Gutao's soft spot, and the latter kept begging for mercy and crying out in pain.

"Haha, alright, alright, you two can go flirt all you want!" Mo Xueyao shook her head helplessly. "I'm hanging up now."

"Good good..."

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief. This way, Chen Cheng would have no choice but to listen, whether he wanted to or not. If this guy really deserved a beating, then she would let Li Gutao and the others fight him.

For guys, if they have any pent-up frustrations, they just settle it with a fight.

If there's something you can't talk to, a fight will make you listen.

Yes, a simple and direct solution.

Mo Xueyao was very satisfied with her arrangements.

Chapter 109 Wang Jiale and Lü Bolun's Date

On August 9th, the temperature finally broke through the 40 mark. The official weather forecast has reported that today's temperature will reach 41 degrees Celsius.

However, the actual temperature under the sun is obviously much higher.

This is weather so bad you can't even walk properly without being in the shade.

There were noticeably more people with umbrellas on the street than before.

At this time, using an umbrella isn't necessarily to prevent sunburn, but more to avoid heatstroke.

Wang Jiale was alone at home. Right now, she was carefully applying sunscreen in front of her dressing table, checking her hair for any messy or frizzy spots. She even changed the position of a hair clip several times before finally deciding where to put it.

Today was the day she had arranged to go out with Luberon.

I told my parents in advance because I was going to another city.

Of course, Mo Xueyao and the others were used as scapegoats, with the excuse that he went out to play with the girls.

However, in reality, he went out with Luberon...

The thought of secretly going out with her boyfriend for a few days without her parents' knowledge filled her with a slight excitement.

The travel bag beside her was filled with all sorts of things, including essential daily necessities, changes of clothes, and a diary to record her travel experiences.

However, this diary has remained blank since it was bought. She takes it out every time, but she never writes in it.

It feels more like a symbol.

"Oh no, I'm half an hour late..." Wang Jiale glanced at the time, hurriedly packed up the last few things, and then left home with her schoolbag on her back.

Actually, this wasn't the first time she had traveled far away alone. She had also gone out during the summer vacation after her third year of junior high school. Most of the sisters who said they would always be good friends back then have lost contact with her now.

It's only been a year.

Last time I went to neighboring Shanghai, but the feeling was completely different.

Shanghai and Hangzhou are not far apart. Taking the express train with the "K" in its name takes only about two and a half hours, and if it is a direct train, it will take less than two hours to get there.

Direct trains are currently the fastest, but the tickets are relatively expensive. Since the time difference isn't significant, buying a slower train won't make much of a difference.

Lu Bolun was waiting at the KFC in Peace Square near Wang Jiale's house. He was getting a little anxious. He had finished his coffee, but he was still holding the cup and sucking on the straw.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to check on Wang Jiale, he saw a petite girl outside the shop window waving and smiling at him.

The impatience I felt earlier vanished instantly, leaving only joy and nervousness.

He had barely stood up and run a couple of steps when he turned back, picked up his travel bag from the chair, and then strode out again.

"Lele!"

Sorry to keep you waiting~

"It's alright, it's alright, there's still plenty of time." Lu Bolun seemed completely unconcerned.

Wang Jiale tilted her head and watched his arm slowly rise, then took his hand quite proactively, a move that greatly surprised Lü Bolun.

Because Wang Jiale would never take the initiative to make any intimate gestures towards him before, but this time... well, I guess you could say she took the initiative halfway?

"Have you bought the tickets?" Wang Jiale asked, shaking Lu Bolun's arm.

“I bought them yesterday at the ticket office next to my house.” Lu Bolun pulled two red train tickets out of his pocket. “They’re for departure at 10:22.”

"Then we can take our time... and take the bus, okay?"

"Sure, but it's best to sit in a car with air conditioning."

"What's wrong? You're afraid of the heat? Can't a boy endure hardship?" Wang Jiale winked and teased with a smile.

"I'm fine with it, I'm just worried you'll get too hot."

"Tch—that sounds nice." Although Wang Jiale teased him like that, he was secretly delighted.

She is sensitive to heat, and even though she has only been out for a short time, her forehead is already covered in sweat.

While a parasol can block the sun from overhead, it cannot block the high temperature in the air.

I arrived at the train station at 9:30, so I had a full hour to spare.

The waiting hall of the train was air-conditioned, but it wasn't as comfortable as I had imagined. It was filled with all sorts of strange smells, and the ventilation in the station wasn't very good, so these smells lingered and wouldn't dissipate.

Lu Bolun took out two bottles of iced cola he had bought in advance from his backpack and handed one of them to Wang Jiale. The latter hesitated for a moment but still took it, muttering, "Drinking just one won't make me fat, right..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, you're too thin right now. It would be better if you gained some weight."

"Pfft, you're lying. If I got fat, you'd definitely dislike me."

"How could that be, hehe..." Lu Bolun chuckled awkwardly, then added, "As long as he's not too fat..."

What constitutes being too fat?

"Uh...you weigh more than me?"

"Hmm...that's fairly fair."

In fact, Lu Bolun is not heavy; it's just that his height and the fact that he is a boy make him much heavier than Wang Jiale.

There's a saying: "You get used to the smell after a while." After spending some time in this enclosed space, it doesn't seem to bother me much anymore.

"I borrowed a game console from Gao Yuan." Lu Bolun pulled a thick little bag out of his backpack and took out a GBC game console from it.

Besides the game console, there were also several game cartridges in the bag.

Should I play?

"No, there's one more."

"Wow, you borrowed both of them? Don't break them! Aren't they supposed to be imported from Japan? They seem quite expensive, right?"

"It's okay, it's usually not broken. I'll pay for it if it gets damaged."

"He and you are really close. Girls don't usually lend each other such expensive things easily, even if they are very good friends."

"is it?"
