A Young Woman's Heart

"Why do we need to clean?" Mo Xueyao glanced inside and noticed some hair scattered haphazardly on the damp floor.

Some are darker, some are lighter, some are longer, and some are shorter.

They feel like they're from different parts of the body.

The longest part should be the hair.

"Hmm, why is there so much hair?"

Li Wanyan's face was slightly flushed in the mist, but she still calmly replied, "I shaved my fur."

"Huh? Shave?"

"Ah."

"Hmm... so that's why I used to sometimes take long showers, I was shaving! Does Wanyan have leg hair too?"

"...Of course."

"Oh... you have armpit hair too?" Mo Xueyao raised her arm.

“Yes.” Li Wanyan squatted down, picked up the hair scattered on the ground with a napkin, and threw it into the trash can next to her.

"I don't have one yet."

"Perhaps it will never happen."

"Ah... um, it's quite convenient."

"It's very convenient for girls."

"Tsk, so does that mean it's a good thing I'm a girl? If I were a boy, wouldn't that be a bit much?"

"That would be very unmanly."

"Hmm." Mo Xueyao pointed to the hair on the ground, "Which ones are leg hair?"

"The finer ones."

"Oh...I've never really noticed before?"

"Well, because there isn't much, and we'll shave it off as soon as it shows any signs of life." Li Wanyan finally finished cleaning up all the hair. "Yaoyao, you can wash now."

"Ah, it's finally my turn. I'm already a little reluctant to take a shower..." she said, yawning widely as she stepped into the steamy bathroom.

"The water in the bathtub... is clean; I took a bath after showering."

"Oh, you're taking a bath? That'll definitely take a while. Hmm, I'll take a bath too." Mo Xueyao was about to take off her clothes when she suddenly glanced at her.

The latter understood and left, closing the door behind him.

Yu Jinyu's voice came from outside the door: "Oh, Wanyan, are you done showering? You take as long to shower as my mom!"

"Haha—don't speak so loudly, or your mom will hear you." The godfather laughed and then called out to Mo Xueyao in the bathroom, "Xiaoyao, do you want me to pause for a bit—?"

"No need—I want to—take a bath—!"

"Okay, I'll tell you the ending later."

"Mmm—!" Her drawn-out voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of splashing water.

……

Chapter Fifty-Three: "The Young Lady"

"Splash—"

"Boom—!"

For some reason, the sound of thunder and rain always makes me sleep better and more deeply.

In addition, since it's the weekend, I can sleep in as long as I want.

The sky outside the window was pitch black, making it impossible to tell the time even with eyes open.

She was startled awake when the candy jumped onto her chest.

She just had a strange dream. Time flowed from back to front. She seemed to understand what people were saying, yet she also seemed not to. In the dream, she was looking forward to what would happen when time returned to the beginning.

However, all of this was interrupted by the increasingly chubby cat, Sugar.

"Stinky cat, go play somewhere else—" Mo Xueyao pushed its butt and chased it away, then patted the bedding that was covered in cat hair.

Perhaps it's because autumn is here, but Su Tang has started to shed fur. It's probably time to replace her summer fur with warmer fur suitable for winter.

If human body hair were as cute as cat hair, girls with thick body hair wouldn't have to worry about it, and it might even be considered adorable.

No, that's not right either. If those hairs grew on a person, it would look really weird, wouldn't it?

Mo Xueyao's active mind made her unable to sleep. She forcefully threw off the covers and jumped out of bed, almost twisting her ankle in the process.

The coolness of autumn drifted in through the small window, along with the slightly chilly raindrops.

Mo Xueyao put on the black dress her mother had left on the bedside table last night, and slipped on the stockings with the intricate retro-style text pattern—it was amazing that she could even buy such strange stockings.

However, it does look quite good paired with this black dress with a star pattern.

Her mother seemed to really like dressing her up like this, perhaps because she was fair-skinned enough that wearing black clothes created a stronger contrast.

But now, our pretty blue-eyed girl yawned widely, completely disregarding her image, and shakily pushed open the door.

This was the first time she had ever felt that the small room was so well soundproofed.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard my father chatting with the guests; I heard the torrential rain outside; I heard cars rushing by...

"Oh, look, our daughter's awake," the father said with a hint of teasing. "I deliberately didn't wake you, just to see how long you could sleep."

"What's up? What time is it? Is it late?" The sky outside made it impossible to tell the time, so Mo Xueyao replied lazily.

"It's 9:30."

"Tch, who would believe that?" Mo Xueyao glanced casually at the time on the landline phone and found that it really was 9:30.

Moreover, the father spoke for a few minutes less.

"Huh, did I sleep for that long?"

"Yeah, thank goodness, I didn't sleep until the afternoon. At least it's still somewhat morning now. Go wash up."

"Hmm—ha—ah—" Mo Xueyao covered her mouth, yawned again, and swayed to the door to wash up.

Although it was a rainy day, there were still quite a few customers, making her feel like she was being stared at while she was washing up. Besides feeling embarrassed, she had to wash for a little longer to appear ladylike.

"Tsk tsk, there's a reason she's so beautiful. Look how meticulous she is, it took her almost twenty minutes just to wash her face." A middle-aged woman, waiting for her father to make a flower basket, teased her husband with a smile.

"Of course! Being good-looking is innate, but it also requires maintenance."

"Hey, speaking of skincare, how about taking a look at these health supplements over here? Like this one, it's supposed to beautify and nourish the skin. The effects won't be exaggerated, anything exaggerated is fake. This one can help reduce your dark circles and eye bags, and make your skin smoother." The father seized the opportunity to enthusiastically promote other products.

The reason why Mo Xueyao's fruit shop is doing so well is largely due to his business acumen.

Old Lu had actually come to ask for advice with some embarrassment, and his father had taught him a lot. However, doing business might really require some talent. Old Lu's business was already not bad, but compared to the bustling atmosphere here, it was still far behind.

After washing up, Mo Xueyao went back to her room, took off her slippers, put on her clean little leather shoes, and sat at the entrance of the shop, not wanting to go anywhere.

If you go outside, your leather shoes will definitely get dirty.

It's much more convenient to stay at home, especially since I get scolded by my mother after making a mess, which is just too annoying.

So... there are many reasons why I like staying at home.

—Mo Xueyao defended herself in her heart.

Wow, boss, is this your daughter?

"Yes."

"She looks like a porcelain doll! This dress is so beautiful! Where did you buy it?"

"Haha, I don't know either." The father laughed and scratched his head, bringing the topic back on track, "What do you want to buy?"

The mother replied from the side, "It was made to order."

"No wonder it fits so well! Where was it custom-made?"

"It's just a regular little tailor shop."

"This is really nice." The middle-aged female customer turned her gaze back to the fruit shelf. "How much are the pomegranates?"

"Which one? The prices are different; the larger one is cheaper, and the smaller one is more expensive."

"Why is it reversed?"

"Haha, this is..."

Even though it was raining on Saturday, the fruit shop still did very well.

After all, most people can only visit patients in the hospital on weekends.

The rain stopped after a while. There have been a lot of showers like this lately. But just because it stopped doesn't mean it won't rain again. It might start raining again in an hour.

Mo Xueyao silently memorized English words, while Li Wanyan made herself a whole test paper next to her and then wrote on it with a different colored pen.

You know, usually after an exam, if you ask students to copy down all the wrong questions along with the answers, some people will complain.

Li Wanyan's entire exam paper, including the questions, was handwritten.

Indeed, while we see others' success, we should never overlook the hard work they've put in.

Even Mo Xueyao couldn't do something like this; it goes beyond just being self-motivated to study.

Someone who can do this must be someone who is extremely passionate about learning.

Otherwise, no matter how diligent you are, you'll only end up like Mo Xueyao, just memorizing texts.

Is this why she's always stuck at the bottom of the top ten in the whole grade and can't move up?

Even if she could do it just as well if she tried her best, Mo Xueyao wouldn't do it.

She was so tired that she needed to find a balance between work and rest. If she were to keep doing this all the time, she would become annoyed.

That would be counterproductive.

— Not everyone's learning style is suitable for them.
