A Young Woman's Heart

Mr. Xue and Huang Yuxi were the only two boys invited to play water volleyball with the girls. No one envied Huang Yuxi, but everyone envied Mr. Xue.

"Damn it, being handsome means you can do whatever you want," Zhou Yong cursed under his breath.

"It's alright, Zhou Yong, you'll have your chance too," Liu Xiaowei comforted him, but his next sentence turned into a joke, "What do you think of Tian Xinnan? She's a good match for you, isn't she?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Some girls are average-looking but have great figures, while others have pretty faces but average figures.

For example, Lu Chengyuan belongs to the latter category.

Although the school uniform for girls at Amakura High School is a short skirt, it at least manages to cover up their figures to some extent.

When she wears a swimsuit, you can clearly see a small ring of fat around her stomach—it's not obvious, but you can still notice it if you look closely.

Moreover, although she's a little chubby, she's flat-chested...

Currently, the girls that the boys in Class 2 like the most are either like Mo Xueyao, who has a curvy figure but isn't fat, and doesn't have a roll of fat around her stomach; her slightly protruding belly only adds to her alluring charm. Or they are like Hua Yinyin, who, although she has the height of a middle school student and a very youthful face, has an exceptionally hot figure. She can hug you tightly without worrying that you'll feel nothing but bones.

"Lele, let's fight together!" Lu Bolun shouted. As Wang Jiale's possessor, no, her boyfriend, he was always very proud during swimming lessons.

Although Wang Jiale is completely flat-chested, she has the advantage of being petite. Especially when she gets tired of playing, she can snuggle into his arms, and that feeling is just too good.

"Come here!" Wang Jiale waved his hand vigorously.

That's perfect now, boys on one side, girls on the other.

There's a ready-made dividing line in the middle, so there's no need to confirm the midline anymore.

Mo Xueyao wasn't very interested in water volleyball; she was currently lying on the water, trying out backstroke.

If controlled properly, this is probably the most energy-efficient way to swim.

However, it's more accurate to say she was just going with the flow rather than swimming.

Li Wanyan was having a breath-holding contest with Cha Li, with Ye Banxia as the referee.

Aside from Mo Xueyao and the others, she was closest to these two.

Ye Banxia was there to help her out every day after school, while Cha Li was there because they were both good students and could exchange study experiences.

"Oh! Lili has secretly surfaced to breathe!" Ye Banxia exclaimed.

"Oh dear, I didn't!" Cha Li stood up and protested, but her expression already admitted that she had indeed cheated secretly.

"Phew—" Li Wanyan raised her head after a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Did I win?"

"Yes, the class monitor won!"

"Let's do it one more time."

"It's my turn now..." Ye Banxia muttered softly.

Mo Xueyao, who had floated to this spot, landed right in Li Wanyan's arms. The soft object cushioned her impact. Luckily, it was Li Wanyan she bumped into; if it had been Wang Jiale, it would have hurt terribly...

"Huh, Wanyan?"

"What are you doing?"

"Let's just float."

"Aren't you going to play?"

"Ugh, I don't like playing water volleyball. I feel like I can't jump high enough, it's so heavy."

"It can help you lose weight."

"...The place is full."

"Let's play then, four people in total, two against two," Cha Li said, taking over an extra water volleyball from the shore.

However, it seems there aren't any good locations available right now.

Most importantly, it's difficult to assign them to which side to stand on.

There is currently an empty space at the very innermost part of the shallow water area, while the corresponding area is at the very innermost part of the deep water area.

At the very back of the deep water area, the depth is 1.8 meters. The four of them could barely stand in the 1.6-meter-deep area at the back of the shallow water area, let alone in the deep water area.

Going a little further forward would be possible, but again, the corresponding deep water area is 1.7 meters, and none of the four people are over 1.7 meters tall...

The 1.6-meter deep water area was occupied by Mr. Xue and his group. After all, they arrived first, and it's not right to force them to change positions.

Of the four people, Mo Xueyao was the shortest. She could barely stand at the very back of the shallow water area, and she was currently standing in the 1.5-meter-high section.

"Shoot like that?" Mo Xueyao asked. "We'll just have to skip using that existing center line."

"But there's not enough space either." Ye Banxia gestured, the distance between the two people was too close, and they couldn't move around freely.

"Then... let's throw it lightly? Let's try to make sure the other side can catch it, and see how many we can throw in one go?" Mo Xueyao suggested.

"Okay, that's settled then! Class monitor—I've submitted my application!"

"Let's begin."

Compared to the water volleyball team with all the jumping and leaping, Mo Xueyao and her team were much more harmonious, since their goal was to get the ball to the other side.

It's less tense and more rhythmic.

"Hey—whoosh—!!" Just then, Hua Yinyin suddenly leaped out of the water, displaying her amazing jumping ability, and managed to knock back a high ball that Lu Bolun had hit.

But because of this, he lost his footing and the next second, he fell into the water with a 'plop', splashing up a large wave.

"Ugh!" She tried to stand up, but found that her swimsuit was caught on the plastic strips on the center line. If she didn't get it out in time, she might really drown in the pool.

Mr. Xue rushed over in one stride, but before he could help, Hua Yinyin broke free with brute force.

Then, a 'rip' sound was heard, and one of the swimsuit's shoulder straps was torn. It was no longer taut, but limply slipped down. The other shoulder strap lost its supporting effect and also slipped down onto the arm.

In an instant, Zhou Yong and the others stared wide-eyed. Time seemed to slow down as they waited with bated breath to see their swimsuits slip off completely.

However, a world law called 'friction' stopped the falling swimsuit; it was just a hair's breadth away from jumping out.

Even so, the erotic scene still made Zhou Yong feel a burning sensation on the tip of his nose. He touched it and, although he didn't have a nosebleed, his body was already burning hot.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on that.

"What are you doing? What are you looking at!" Hua Yinyin glared at the boys around her, both embarrassed and annoyed. A blush spread across her tender face, as if she were on fire.

It's quite rare to see such a shy expression on her face.

When everyone saw her covering her chest, they began to admire her shyness.

Perhaps, Hua Yinyin, who usually seems so bold, isn't really that bold?

"Yinyin, are you alright?"

"It's okay—!" Hua Yinyin quickly grabbed the shoulder strap. "But I can't continue playing."

"Then you should rest. This looks like it could fall down very easily," Wang Jiale said worriedly.

"Phew..." Hua Yinyin blushed and climbed ashore, sitting alone in the corner by the French windows, with her back to the pool, not wanting anyone to see her face.

Shy Hua Yinyin seems even more charming than usual.

Chapter 59 The September Monthly Exam

Saturday is this month's monthly exam.

The monthly exams weren't particularly formal; they were simply a matter of students pulling their desks apart and having a teacher who wasn't their homeroom teacher proctor them.

Taking the exam while sitting in a familiar spot makes me feel particularly relaxed, and I always feel that my efficiency is much higher than when I take a big exam in a test center.

Although she hasn't fallen behind in her studies recently, Mo Xueyao was still a little nervous when she received the test paper.

However, once she was doing it smoothly, her worries lessened considerably.

Since we had to take four exams in one day, the time was a bit tight.

Especially for subjects like Chinese that require writing essays, if even a little time is wasted, it may be too late to finish the essay.

So after finishing the multiple-choice questions, Hua Yinyin simply flipped to the last page and started writing the essay.

This month's exam essay topic was about popular culture.

Simply put, it's a debate topic where you need to choose between the viewpoints of "popular culture is good" and "popular culture is bad".

Choosing a viewpoint that has both advantages and disadvantages is absolutely unacceptable, because it lacks a clear perspective and will be deemed off-topic.

Trying to take a middle-of-the-road approach to this kind of essay will only get you a basic score.

Generally speaking, young people will choose the first viewpoint to write about, since so-called popular culture is something they created.

But Hua Yinyin insisted on doing the opposite.

On the surface, she uses the idea that "popular culture is bad" to satirize those who think it's bad, thereby proving that she thinks it's "good."

This writing style is quite unique in essays, but whether it gets a high score depends entirely on whether the examiner is lenient with it.

Anyway, it's not a very reliable way to write it.

But she didn't care about her monthly exam essay score, otherwise she wouldn't have messed around like that.

Besides her, there were others who wrote their essays first, such as Gao Yuan.

Of course, he just wanted to get more points. Getting points in Chinese is actually very simple. As long as you finish the essay, no matter how good or bad it is, you'll get at least 20 points.

Then, once you've mastered the memory-testing questions, and can manage the reading comprehension and classical Chinese sections, passing the test is incredibly easy.

Anyone who fails to pass the Chinese language exam must not have even studied it.

Moreover, it's my native language, unlike mathematics which is obscure, or English which feels unfamiliar.

The Chinese exam was the longest of the monthly exams, and even so, many people barely finished it before the bell rang.

Some people didn't even finish writing before they were done, and could only hastily write a sentence to end the piece.

In terms of writing volume, Chinese language exams probably require the most.

Mo Xueyao watched as the test paper was collected, then shook her slightly sore fingers.

"Little Yaoyao, time to go to the toilet!" Hua Yinyin rushed over as expected.
