A Young Woman's Heart

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm in a good mood, so I'll give them to you guys, haha!"

"Thank you, boss~" Hua Yinyin took the can without any hesitation and then handed the other two cans to Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan respectively.

"Is everything alright?" Mo Xueyao asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't expire! It's just that having such a vibrant girl eat at my restaurant makes me feel a lot younger, haha!"

Actually, to be precise, it was probably because a pretty girl came to eat that he was in a good mood...?

Mo Xueyao grumbled inwardly, but still accepted the can of Fanta.

It's free, so why not take it?

"Let's go home and take a bath! Little Yaoyao, let's take a bath together!"

"I refuse!"

"No, refusing won't work, hehehe..." Hua Yinyin clung to Mo Xueyao...

"Don't move! Don't move! The packed food is going to spill!"

Volume 4 Our Snow Band Chapter 1 The Rain on the First Day of School

A light drizzle was falling on the streets in the early morning.

The raindrops were as black as ink, as if they wanted to dye the world black.

The light on the horizon seemed to want to pierce through the clouds and dispel the darkness.

Mo Xueyao rolled over on the bed, and just as the alarm clock rang, she suddenly reached out and slapped it, stopping the alarm from ringing out.

This alarm clock also went off during summer vacation, since it's not that smart—it doesn't allow you to choose when it rings or when it doesn't.

After struggling for a moment, Li Wanyan finally opened her eyes when she heard the alarm clock.

Summer vacation is so long, and she hasn't gotten up early in a long time.

The time is 5:40 a.m.

"Wanyan... do you want to get up and go to the toilet...?" Mo Xueyao mumbled incoherently while hugging her pillow.

"Get up and wash up."

"So early..."

"School starts today."

"Ugh... school starts—" Mo Xueyao clutched her head, shaking it violently. Her feelings were complicated; she was both looking forward to it and resisting it, because she really didn't want to get up early.

"I'll go wash up first."

"it is good……"

Li Wanyan's washing up time wasn't short, at least ten minutes, but for Mo Xueyao, who was half asleep, it passed by in a flash.

She even felt as if she had just closed her eyes when she was woken up.

"Time to get up and wash up."

"Uh... what time is it...? Let me sleep a little longer..."

"Get up." Li Wanyan pinched her cheek.

"It's up, it's up..."

Mo Xueyao swayed as she got out of bed and walked into the living room, almost bumping into her mother who was carrying breakfast.

"You're up? I've served you some porridge. Eat it after you've washed up."

“Okay—” Mo Xueyao replied lazily, pushed open the wooden door that seemed even more broken, and walked into the washroom.

She was so familiar with this house that she could find her things even with her eyes closed.

At that moment, she closed her eyes, picked up her cup and toothbrush, and started brushing her teeth haphazardly, up and down and left and right.

Today is September 1st, which is the first day of school.

The long two-month summer vacation has finally come to an end. Although there is a lot of reluctance, there is even more anticipation for the new life in the second year of high school.

Autumn mornings can be quite chilly, especially when it's raining like this.

The cold water soaked her cheeks, finally making Mo Xueyao, who was half asleep, fully open her eyes.

"Phew...so cold..." she muttered, burying her entire face in the basin. After holding her breath for a while, bubbles began to rise and fall.

Holding your breath in a basin full of water in the morning can quickly energize you.

"Huff!" A little over a minute later, she suddenly raised her head, took a few deep breaths, and then began to apply face wash to her face.

Using facial cleanser is something she's already very used to.

But thinking back, a year ago, she had no habit of using facial cleanser at all, and she didn't even have the habit of using a washbasin. She would often just wet a towel under the tap and then wipe her face haphazardly and that was it.

"Wasn't it supposed to be cloudy today...?" Mo Xueyao sighed. "Why did it start raining?"

"Isn't it common for weather forecasts to be inaccurate? Don't make a fuss." The mother grabbed a mop and hurried past the bathroom door, urging, "Hurry up, I need to do the laundry."

"Mom, why do you always do the laundry in the morning? Can't you do it at night?"

"You make it sound so easy. You get home so late every night. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"

"Actually, it's the same... You can go to bed a little later at night and get up a little later in the morning..."

"Aren't I going to make you breakfast?"

“Tsk, Wanyan can burn it!” Mo Xueyao replied matter-of-factly.

"Stop arguing and hurry up and finish washing up."

"Tch, didn't you used to tell me to take longer to shower? Why are you telling me to hurry up now?"

"This is to stop you from dawdling."

"Tsk." Mo Xueyao clicked her tongue, washed the face wash off her face, and then washed it again to make sure she hadn't completely washed it off.

Don't laugh, this kind of thing has actually happened a few times—like arriving at school only to find there's still some foam on your chin.

However, autumn has its advantages. At least on mornings like this, the breeze is so refreshing that it makes you want to close your eyes and take another nap...

Yeah, I'm still not fully awake.

Because she was still sleepy, Mo Xueyao had little appetite and only ate half a bowl of porridge and a little bit of side dish before picking up her backpack, which she had put her books in the day before, and getting ready to leave.

"Yaoyao, you haven't changed your school uniform."

"Ah, right, it's been two months since I went to school, I've almost forgotten the process." Mo Xueyao yawned again, went into her bedroom to change into her school uniform. It had been so long since she wore them, she actually felt a little nostalgic. She liked old clothes because they were soft and comfortable to wear. "Speaking of which, shouldn't we be changing our school uniforms?"

"Mm." Li Wanyan nodded.

"Oh~ I remember the school uniforms were different in the second year of high school."

“The styles are different for all three grades,” Li Wanyan said after a moment’s thought, “but they might not necessarily change.”

"what?"

"It's possible that freshmen will use the same style as last year's senior students, so the other two grades won't need to change."

"Why is it like this? Isn't that too boring?"

"Not necessarily." Li Wanyan shook her head, indicating with her gesture that this was just her guess.

However, if the school wants to cater to the majority of students, it probably won't change the design.

This way, only students who feel their clothes are old and need to be replaced, or who have grown taller or gained weight, will need to replace their school uniforms. Other students can save some money.

Although Yukong High School's high-quality uniforms are priced the same as other schools, some impoverished families might find it difficult to even afford that amount of money...

From the perspective of taking care of the majority of people, this is the best approach.

Because it had rained in the morning, it was still dark when I left home; it hadn't gotten light yet.

The length of day and night is also a great way to feel the changing seasons.

An unexpected light rain made me hesitate about whether or not to take the bus.

"Forget it, let's just ride the bike!" Mo Xueyao hesitated for a long time, but still took out her raincoat from the bike basket. "Riding a bike in the light rain feels pretty good!"

"it is good."

Li Wanyan never seemed to have many objections.

But this doesn't mean she lacks her own opinions; she simply lets Mo Xueyao's mood dictate her actions in various small matters.

A gentle breeze and light rain caressed my face, and the cool wind felt as refreshing as drinking soda.

Although both are light rain, autumn and spring are completely different.

Spring rain still carries a hint of winter, making it feel a bit chilly, while autumn rain is refreshing and soothing.

"Whoosh!" Mo Xueyao stood up and stomped on the pedals a few times, attracting the attention of the few passersby on the street in the early morning.

"Hehe, school starts today!"

Are you happy?

"Thinking about it carefully, I'm actually quite happy. After all, I'm going to be a junior in high school. I wonder how many new classmates I'll have. Hmm... and we can all get together again. We can chat during the long break, at lunchtime...."

"So Yaoyao is afraid of being lonely too," Li Wanyan said with a smile, pushing up her glasses.

"Of course... well, but with Wanyan around, I'm not so lonely. It's just that I sometimes crave liveliness—if it's been quiet for too long."

"Ah."

"Charge! Get to school before dawn!" Mo Xueyao shouted.

Be careful.

"Do not worry!"

The rain gradually stopped, so it seems the weather forecast was relatively accurate. After all, the light rain started around this time, and if it hadn't rained during the day, it would indeed have been considered cloudy.
