A Young Woman's Heart

For girls, it seems that the more times they invite each other to go to the bathroom, the better their relationship is...

Because they even go to the toilet together every time, that's what you call 'inseparable'!

"How did you guys do? I didn't have time to finish my essay, so I ended it with just one sentence. I definitely won't get many points this time because it's incomplete..." Wang Jiale said dejectedly. "There's still one line of classical poetry I didn't write. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything."

"Which sentence?" Mo Xueyao glanced at her sideways.

"Mountains surround the ancient country..."

“Ah~ that line.” Hua Yinyin immediately continued, “The tide beats against the empty city, and loneliness returns.”

"Eh... I just couldn't remember it at the time."

"I still haven't memorized enough," Hua Yinyin said with a smug smile. This was the only thing she could be proud of when it came to Chinese language.

“This time, only this one line of classical poetry is a little uncommon; the rest are quite simple,” Mo Xueyao comforted her. “When I was writing this line, I thought about it for a while.”

"So how did you write your essays? I don't even know if my essay has enough words, I think it's probably just barely enough," Wang Jiale sighed. "There's too little time, we simply don't have enough time."

"Essay? Just write it like this, you can just write whatever you want." Hua Yinyin said lazily, her words revealing her dissatisfaction with the current essay review process. "This time, the more difficult ones are the classical Chinese texts, right? They're extracurricular classical Chinese texts."

"Ugh, right... I've never studied classical Chinese before, how am I supposed to do this!" Wang Jiale complained. "And there are so many obscure characters, I can't even pronounce them fluently."

“Chinese language is so difficult.” Sanhua Tongjue nodded from the side. “Our Chinese exams also have classical Chinese, but they’re not this difficult.”

"Hmph, is it difficult?" Hua Yinyin raised her little face. "I think it's quite simple!"

"Don't show off in front of foreign friends," Mo Xueyao said helplessly.

"Maybe, as for English, it's okay, because I've been using it a lot lately, communicating with Lele in English."

The break time given to the students was very short, only ten minutes.

Then you need to compose yourself and continue with the next math exam.

Even though the difficulty of math in humanities classes has been reduced, many students are still struggling.

In fact, for liberal arts students who want to improve their overall score, studying mathematics is a very good way.

After all, many people are bad at math, and many just barely pass.

If you can get 90 out of 120 on a math test, you can significantly improve your ranking in the overall score.

Mo Xueyao saw that the student in front of her, Sanhua Tongjue, had only written half of her exam before falling asleep at her desk. It seems that no matter what country a student is from, there will always be students who fall asleep during exams...

Qiu Yi was in charge of proctoring this exam. He walked over to Sanhua Tongjue's desk, gently patted it, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, this student, wake up."

"Ugh!" Sanhua Tongjue immediately sat up straight, but she had only written a few words when she became drowsy again.

Exchange students probably don't need to worry about exam scores.

After all, there is a language barrier.

Even understanding the questions can be a bit of a struggle, especially some math problems that are like riddles. They can be explained simply, but they insist on playing word games and going around in circles.

When it comes to understanding the questions, liberal arts students may have an advantage, since liberal arts classes are all about 'playing word games'!

Mo Xueyao, who finished her math exam quickly, even had time to check it over slowly and take the opportunity to leisurely observe the progress of others.

Some people secretly flipped through books to look at formulas when Qiu Yi wasn't paying attention, and others hid their computers in drawers.

The boys in the back row were very anxious; they were looking for someone to copy their answers from.

Li Hongran finally got the answers to the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions from An Ruosu. After copying them down, she generously handed them over to the other brothers.

Everyone just copied ten answers and changed two, and that was considered getting away with it.

As for the word problems that follow, well, that's up to each person to rely on their own abilities.

But at least it manages to stay around the acceptable level.

Qiu Yi turned a blind eye, patrolling back and forth but not really interfering, and occasionally he would stare out the window for ten minutes or so in a daze.

After the bell rang, he seemed even more relieved than the students, and much more energetic than when he was proctoring the exam: "Okay, everyone, pass the exam papers forward. Don't copy the answers. It's useless to copy them. You can copy now, but do you think you can still copy when you take the college entrance exam? Hurry up, pass them up!"

The exam ended and it was lunchtime. The boys who had been spacing out for the second half of the exam, like Qiu Yi, perked up and passed their papers forward before dashing out of the classroom, their destination—the cafeteria.

The entire building began to shake again, but Mo Xueyao was already used to it.

In junior high school, class representatives would carry the food and dishes; this situation wouldn't have happened.

In high school, students have to eat in the cafeteria on their own, so it all depends on their individual abilities.

Most girls are quite reserved and won't run out as soon as get out of class is over, so there are often long queues.

In addition, most girls have a lot of pocket money, which has led to the bread in the convenience store selling very well, and many girls go there to buy bread to eat.

A bread roll for lunch is delicious and helps with weight loss and maintaining a good figure—Mo Xueyao felt the calorie difference was about the same, but since all the girls said so, she just went along with it.

"Yaoyao, shall we go to the cafeteria?" Li Wanyan took the cutlery and waited beside her.

"Hmm, let's go. I wonder what we'll have for lunch today. I have two more classes this afternoon... Phew, I only get one day off tomorrow, and then I have to go to agricultural training again. Why does this National Day holiday feel more tiring than other holidays?"

"I can finally get a good rest after I get back from the farm work."

"I hope the agricultural training won't be too tiring..." Mo Xueyao muttered softly. "By the way, does Wanyan know where the agricultural training base is this time?"

"It seems like they're going to Tonglu County."

"Although it's very close, I don't think I've ever been there before. It would be nice to go and have some fun, just like a school-organized autumn outing."

"Ah."

"Little Yaoyao~ Want to eat instant noodles? The cafeteria will definitely be packed." Hua Yinyin twirled and jumped over, grabbing her arm.

"Ugh—" Mo Xueyao waved her arm impatiently, "I'm not going, I'm going to the cafeteria to eat."

"But queuing is such a hassle."

"It's alright, chatting while queuing, it's still quite fast."

"Okay, I'll go too."

“It’s fine if you go eat instant noodles by yourself, I don’t mind,” Mo Xueyao teased.

Wang Jiale followed Lü Bolun to the convenience store, while Sanhua Tongjue, unable to find anyone she recognized, squeezed over to Mo Xueyao and the others.

"What will happen today?" Sanhua Tongjue didn't know what to say, so she just started a conversation.

"I don't know, it depends on the chef's mood." Mo Xueyao tried to pull her arm out of Hua Yinyin's embrace, but it was stuck to her tightly and she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did. In the end, she could only pinch Hua Yinyin's cheek to finally break free. "I hope we can have pork chops today."

"Ugh, that pork chop last time was boiled, it was awful, I don't want to eat it again," Hua Yinyin said with a look of disgust.

"Hmm... I don't like that kind either, so I'd prefer it braised. As for vegetables, I'd like cauliflower, not celery. Celery is the only vegetable I don't really like..."

"Little Yaoyao is a very picky eater."

"It's just a matter of preference! If I had a choice, I'd definitely choose what I like to eat!"

Chapter Sixty: The Lost Husky

"Don't rush home yet, everyone. Listen to my announcement. As I've mentioned before, tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and we'll start agricultural training the day after tomorrow. Please assemble at school before 8:30 am the day after tomorrow. Don't forget to bring the items we were notified about before. If you still have any questions, call me. My phone number is written on the blackboard." Ye Wen rushed into the classroom as soon as the last exam ended. "You should all still have your previous notices, right? Please read the details carefully again."

"Teacher, I lost mine!" After all, it's been almost half a month, so it's normal to lose it.

"I'll send a text message to your parents' group later," Ye Wen said, as if she already knew. "Alright, school's out, everyone go home early, see you the day after tomorrow!"

"Charge, Little Liu!"

"Let's go!"

Gao Yuan and his group of boys rushed out of the school again to compete with students from other classes for seats in the internet cafe.

This group was planning to play Counter-Strike, but if they couldn't get a spot, they'd have to go to the arcade.

The problem is that, in this day and age, no shooting game in arcades has better graphics and gameplay than Counter-Strike.

Most of the time, it's just the screen moving, and then the player picks up a gun, aims, and shoots.

"Ma Jianhang, you haven't finished cleaning yet," Ye Banxia reminded him as soon as she saw Ma Jianhang packing his schoolbag.

"I know, I know, I'm just tidying up, don't panic," Ma Jianhang said, trying to cover up his embarrassment. "Can I go take out the trash now?"

"No, we have to wait until everyone else has finished before we pour it."

"Wow, this is so troublesome. Can't we just wait until the sweeper finishes sweeping?"

“...Okay.” Ye Banxia was easily swayed and much easier to talk to than Li Wanyan.

Today's cleaning duty is calculated based on Friday, and Yu Zi was complaining about how unlucky she was, having to clean two days a week.

However, with Li Wanyan supervising, the classroom was cleaned up quickly.

The school quieted down after the hustle and bustle of dismissal, and the setting sun in the sky rose and fell like an egg yolk in water.

Lu Chengyuan is also on duty today, so everyone can go home together.

As for band training—after all, they just finished their exams, so they're taking a rare break.

"It's so rare that we can go home together today!" Lu Chengyuan exclaimed happily. "I've been going home alone every day lately, it's so boring!"

"Is there anyone else going the same way as you?"

"Hmm, that's all."

"Fortunately... the distance is relatively short."

"But it's definitely more lively with more people, isn't it? Only when there are people walking home together can it truly feel like school is over!"

"No one will walk you home from school with you, are you not planning to 'go home'?" Mo Xueyao teased.

"Oh, I was just reminiscing~" Lu Chengyuan casually put her arm around Mo Xueyao's shoulder and rubbed her face against hers, "Hehe~"

"Why are you like Yin Yin?"

"What? This is a way for girls to express their affection. Hasn't Xiaoyao ever done this with anyone before?"

"...I've only ever been rubbed like that by Hua Yinyin."

"It seems that your friends are all quite reserved."

"You mean, Hua Yinyin is just more open-minded?"
