A Young Woman's Heart

Chapter 158 Taiyin's Milk Tea Party

At noon, it started to drizzle again.

The playground was much quieter than usual at this time of day.

There were still boys playing basketball on the nearby court, and Mo Xueyao could already imagine how covered in mud they would be later.

Is playing basketball really that fun?

It has to be done on a rainy day.

The school does have an indoor gymnasium, but it's obviously not enough for all the boys to play basketball together. Some people are just itching to play, so as long as the rain isn't too heavy, they'll run to the basketball court to play.

The school teachers would occasionally stop them when they passed by, but most of the time, they could still 'sneak' around and play for a while.

Mo Xueyao and Wang Jiale were sharing an umbrella, seemingly strolling leisurely in the rain.

The two had just finished lunch and were on their way to the psychological counseling center.

When I got to the door, I found that quite a few students from Class 2 had come.

Most of the attendees were girls, but there were also a few boys who came to join in the fun.

"Holy crap, everyone's here!" Gao Yuan exclaimed excitedly. "Haha, this is so lively!"

"Teacher Taiyin is really popular..." Wang Jiale was a little unhappy. She thought she was the only one with this idea, but she didn't expect that many people had the same idea and came with her.

"So, what are you all doing gathered around the door?" Mo Xueyao asked, puzzled. "Aren't you going in?"

“We’re deciding who should knock on the door!” Lu Chengyuan replied. “Teacher Taiyin doesn’t seem as cold as Teacher Jing, but she doesn’t seem particularly approachable either, right? So… we’re a little hesitant.”

"Why don't we just knock it?" Mo Xueyao said helplessly.

Zhou Yong scratched his head beside him and said, "Strange, Teacher Taiyin today feels different from the ones I've met before."

"How come it's different?" Wang Jiale asked curiously.

“When I came last time… uh, yes, Wen asked me to bring something over, cough.” Zhou Yong quickly lied and explained, although in fact no one was interested in why he came to the psychological counseling center. “Teacher Taiyin was very lively when I met her, and she talked a lot and was a bit mischievous.”

"So you were just too nervous today?" Wang Jiale muttered, tilting her head.

"No way...? This is how I've always remembered Taiyin?" Mo Xueyao frowned, then suddenly remembered something. "Wait, wait, I know!"

Wang Jiale and she exchanged a glance, clearly having thought of the same thing.

Students who have visited Ye Wen's seaside villa should know what happened.

Actually, everyone really liked Taiyin when they went to the villa, but after the summer vacation, they didn't have much contact after returning to school, so their fondness for her was put aside again. It wasn't until she came to substitute for him today that Wang Jiale couldn't help but want to get closer to her again.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?" Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl who looked exactly like Taiyin stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips. She had a yellow and white fox ear headband on her ear and wore a black short skirt with nine fluffy fox tails hanging from the back.

Like an actress who plays a fox spirit in a stage play...

"Oh—you mean Sister Tianyin!" Gao Yuan finally realized.

"Huh? Heavenly Sound?"

"Didn't you miss going to the seaside villa that time?"

"Uh...yes, I'm working..."

“That’s right. This is Teacher Taiyin’s younger sister. Uh… I don’t think she’s a teacher at the school, so just call her Sister Tianyin.”

Imagine a group of high school students calling a middle school student "sister"—that would be quite a strange scene.

"What are you all doing here? Are you all mentally ill?" Tianyin spoke without any politeness. Although her face was exactly the same as Taiyin's, their personalities were completely different.

"Taiyin Master's younger sister..."

"Twins? They look so!"

"Their personalities are completely opposite!"

"They're both so cute!"

Just as Zhou Yong was scratching his head, finally getting a general idea of ​​the situation, Taiyin appeared behind Tianyin and gently said to the students, "Come in."

The psychological counseling room itself is not big; it only contains a bookshelf, a storage shelf, and two desks.

But when the door next to it opened, a living room that looked very exquisitely decorated appeared in front of everyone.

"Remember to take off your shoes when you come in!" Tianyin said, kicking off her shoes and darting inside, then plopping down on the soft, bouncy fabric sofa.

The floor was covered with carpets, and plush toys were placed everywhere. From the furniture to the various decorations, everything was in a fairy tale style, giving people the illusion of entering a fairy tale world.

There's also a large skylight overhead, through which you can see raindrops hitting the glass and creating ripples on the puddles.

This feeling is truly amazing.

A dozen or so boys and girls walked in in an orderly fashion, maintaining a quietness that perfectly matched the surroundings.

The last one to enter was Taiyin. She carried a large teapot and a large plate of snacks, which she placed in front of the coffee table.

A dozen or so people sat around here, and surprisingly, it didn't feel crowded at all; on the contrary, it felt just right.

The coffee table is still adjustable, and it was raised by the moonlight, allowing everyone to comfortably place their hands on it.

The students all came to see Taiyin, but after Taiyin received them as if she had anticipated it, she was at a loss for words.

"Alright, what's troubling you all? Tell me! Hmm... you start!" Tianyin pointed to Zhou Yong, who was sitting on the far side.

"Ah I?"

"Yes, it's you, the one from last time..."

"Cough cough cough!!" Zhou Yong, disregarding his nervousness, quickly coughed a few times. "Actually, it's just that I've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, and I don't want to study, what should I do?"

Gao Yuan looked Zhou Yong up and down, pretending as if he were meeting him for the first time, and deliberately jokingly said, "Damn, how can you say such rubbish?"

"Well, this can actually be considered a psychological problem!"

Actually, people aren't here to solve psychological problems.

But somehow, Tianyin led us to this topic.

"Drink up, milk tea." Taiyin poured milk tea from the large teapot for everyone before leisurely sitting down and taking a sip from her cup.

The milk tea had a rich aroma, but it tasted salty. Mo Xueyao had tried it before, so it wasn't surprising, but the others who hadn't all looked astonished.

"This is my first time trying salty milk tea..." Kang Yang, who was slightly chubby, licked his lips. "Hmm... it's pretty good."

"This milk tea is perfect for you, Tangyuan. Drinking more of this kind will keep you from getting so fat!"

Tangyuan is Kang Yang's nickname because she is a little chubby, especially her face, which looks quite large. Combined with the homonym of her name, everyone gave her this nickname.

"What right do you have to talk to me, you fatso?" Kang Yang rolled his eyes and retorted to Gao Yuan.

The previously somewhat subdued atmosphere became lively as a result.

Since we're all here, everyone feels free to share their troubles. These are indeed psychological issues—you don't necessarily need to have a mental illness or depression to see a psychologist.

"First, let's deal with yours! Hmm... Don't want to study? It's simple, play a game!" Tianyin handed Zhou Yong a ring toss game machine. "You're not allowed to leave at noon until you've got all the rings on the toss!"

Zhou Yong hesitantly took the game console and started playing. He was interested at first, but got bored later on because it was too difficult to get all the pieces.

But Tianyin kept an eye on him, making sure he couldn't slack off.

This is probably an extreme treatment... like making someone who loves sweets eat a lot of sweets until they throw up and don't want to eat anymore.

However, whether this will have an effect on Zhou Yong remains to be seen.

“Me? Uh… I don’t have any worries.” When it was Gao Yuan’s turn, he coughed lightly. “I came with Zhou Yong.”

"That's impossible! Everyone has their own troubles! If it's inconvenient to talk about it now, you can talk to us later when no one is around!"

"Ah...no, really."

"there must be!"

Just like a child, Tianyin shouted with great certainty.

Taiyin's gaze fell on Gao Yuan, as if trying to read the information contained in his eyes.

"You don't want to leave everyone, do you?"

"Huh? Uh..." Gao Yuan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "You could tell that?"

"Graduation is still a long way off, Gao Yuan, why are you worried about this? I never knew you were so sentimental," Mo Xueyao teased.

"No...uh...never mind, actually..." Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to vent her frustrations in front of her classmates, "I'm going abroad to study in my senior year of high school..."

"Huh?" Mo Xueyao's eyes widened in surprise. "Gao Yuan, you've never mentioned this before?"

"Ah... I was thinking... it's no use saying it..."

"So, are you going to go abroad and still be a senior in high school?"

“It’s possible to start over from the first year of high school, or it’s possible to take a crash course and spend one or two years getting into university,” Gao Yuan said frankly. “As you know, some schools can be entered by paying money, even universities…”

"So you're leaving after your senior year of high school? That means... you only have a little over six months left."

"right……"

"Damn it, Gao Yuan, you're not a true brother! You didn't even tell me!"

"It's no use saying anything; it'll only make you feel more reluctant to let go, won't it?"

"Tch, you're too narcissistic, aren't you? We won't begrudge you!"

"Hahaha--"

"I'm afraid this problem can't be solved," Tianyin asked, resting her chin on her hand. "Why don't we ask our parents if we can go abroad to study after graduating from high school?"

"If I could, I would have convinced them long ago."

"It's okay if it's only a year apart, right?"

“There are many times when you can’t wait even a year. Actually, I was supposed to go in my second year of high school.”

"Then let's cherish the present!" Tianyin slapped the table. "Let's chat with everyone more and create some wonderful memories!"

In fact, Mo Xueyao felt that Tianyin had not made any substantial solution to Gao Yuan's troubles at all...

What was originally supposed to be a fun outing for everyone turned into a bubble tea party to release our worries.
