A Young Woman's Heart

For the next half hour or so, probably no one will go to the playground.

Mo Xueyao was thinking about taking a nap at her desk when she saw two 'rare guests' walk into the playground.

Mo Xueyao recognized the slightly messy-haired man at a glance—it was the principal.

His hairstyle was initially thought to be due to unkemptness, but later, because he had the same hairstyle every day, the students began to suspect that it was the principal's hairstyle, or perhaps a hairstyle called messy hair?

In short, this somewhat messy hair became his signature hairstyle.

Standing on the edge of the playground was a petite girl.

Wait, upon closer inspection, Mo Xueyao realized that this looked like a teacher from the medical department.

Many students may spend three years in a school without ever seeing the medical staff. Mo Xueyao remembers her because she has been there a few times.

Principal Mo Kong, arm in arm with Su Yuqing, a teacher from the medical affairs office, walked slowly forward.

The two seemed to be chatting, but they were too far apart to hear what they were saying.

Compared to the petite Su Yuqing, Mo Kong was much taller, and the height difference between them made them look like a father and daughter from a distance.

The two strolled leisurely to a wooden bench at the edge of the playground and sat down.

At this distance, even facial expressions were blurred. With Mo Xueyao's 5.3 vision, all she could see was that Mo Kong and Su Yuqing seemed to be smiling.

"Wow—" Just then, Wang Jiale's excited and gossipy voice came from beside him, "Is the principal dating a female student?"

"Pfft!" Mo Xueyao choked on her own saliva, coughing for a while before she recovered. "Lele, why are you up so early today?"

"Of course I'm here to copy homework," Wang Jiale replied matter-of-factly. "No, no, I should say I'm checking the answers. How can you call it copying when it's a scholar's job?"

"It's only the third day of school, and you're already copying homework? That won't do..." Mo Xueyao muttered, her eyelids drooping.

"Oh dear, I forgot my math homework at school yesterday, Yao Yao~ please help me~" Wang Jiale pleaded pitifully, clasping her hands together.

"Your acting is terrible." Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, take it from the drawer yourself."

"Okay~ Thanks, Xiaoyao!" Wang Jiale took the math workbook and then came over again, "Aiya, Xiaoyao, who's that girl next to the principal? Do you know her?"

"Not a girl."

"Huh?" For some reason, Wang Jiale reacted very strongly. "Not a girl?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"It's a boy?! Could it be Huang Yuxi? Damn it, I'm a little nearsighted, I can't see very clearly." Wang Jiale's gossip spirit began to burn fiercely.

"What are you thinking..." Mo Xueyao explained helplessly, "It's about the teachers in the medical department."

"Hey, not only does our school counselor look like a middle school student, but the medical staff are also so young! They look about the same age as high school students."

"Mm." Mo Xueyao nodded, her gaze still fixed on Mo Kong and Su Yuqing.

The two seemed to have a very close relationship. She gently rested her head on Mo Kong's shoulder, a very natural and habitual gesture.

Mo Kong then casually put his arm around Su Yuqing's shoulder to make her more comfortable.

The sweet aroma is almost overflowing; you can almost smell it from a distance.

They're practically an old married couple already.

However, speaking of which, the principal must be quite old, and although Su Yuqing looks young, she must be at least twenty-five years old, right?

It's not certain that the two of them will actually get married.

"Qiu Yi, you little brat, stop right there!" Just as he was thinking this, the sounds of chasing and playing came from the corridor.

They were not students, but two teachers.

The one running ahead was art teacher Qiu Yi, and the one chasing behind was homeroom teacher Ye Wen.

"Hehe—Wenwen, do you know what this is called? It's called face wash~" Qiu Yi, who was running ahead, laughed in a very 'lewd' way, dodging a pink fist thrown by Ye Wen who was chasing after him.

"Are you asking for it?!" Ye Wen was furious and embarrassed, but she couldn't catch up with him no matter what she did.

"Oh dear, I can't catch you, I can't catch you, hee hee hee~" Qiu Yi made a face and patted his own butt to mock her. He continued to run away when Ye Wen was almost caught up, and actually ran straight into the classroom.

"You brat, don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!" Ye Wen was amused by her anger, but the next second her expression turned fierce. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them had a blood feud.

Not to mention Mo Xueyao, even the usually composed Li Wanyan was dumbfounded.

It's one thing for an art teacher to be mischievous, but how could a homeroom teacher play such childish 'games' with an art teacher?

Although he is usually quite easygoing, he shouldn't act like a child, right?

"Oh dear, stop, stop, stop—the students are all here!" Qiu Yi stopped, raised her hands, and gave a gesture of the highest French courtesy. "Stop fooling around."

"Who's making a scene!" Ye Wen tackled Qiu Yi to the ground, pinching his cheeks hard. "I told you to use face wash, I told you to use face wash!"

"Help! Help!"

"Stop yelling, no one will save you even if you yell until you're hoarse!" Ye Wen said fiercely.

"Wow, Principal, what brings you here?"

Qiu Yi exclaimed in surprise, and took advantage of Ye Wen's momentary daze to break free and slip away.

"Don't run away if you dare!" Ye Wen gritted her teeth and followed.

"You spineless coward!" Qiu Yi replied shamelessly. "If you dare catch me again, I'll change my surname to yours on the spot!"

"Fine! If I don't let you call me Ye Yi today, I'll change my surname from Qiu!"

"Your surname wasn't originally Qiu!"

"Shut up! Your death is just around the corner!"

Mo Xueyao swallowed hard, stunned. "Well... teachers are just ordinary people after all..."

Chapter 80 The New Job of the Propaganda Committee Member

It seems normal for teachers to chase each other, play around, and flirt; after all, everyone is human and has joys and sorrows.

However, only Mo Xueyao and a few others saw these things; even Mr. Xue, who was asleep, did not see them.

Of course, the gossipy Wang Jiale couldn't hold back. She told almost every student who came in what had happened that morning, and before long, the whole class knew.

Some people were skeptical at first, but as more and more people said it, they gradually came to believe it.

Moreover, the gossip became increasingly outrageous, eventually evolving into the story of the principal kissing two female teachers, one of whom was the art teacher's girlfriend, which infuriated him so much that he confronted the principal face to face.

"Ai'ai, Xiao Yaoyao, have you heard?" Hua Yinyin approached mysteriously.

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that the principal cheated on our art teacher and stole his girlfriend, who is our school's dean of students!"

"Stop, stop, stop, what is all this about?" Mo Xueyao was completely bewildered, even wondering if this was a variation of the gossip Wang Jiale had spread that morning. If so, it was going to be far too outrageous.

Let's set aside the question of how Mo Kong and Su Yuqing's intimate chat on the playground relates to Ye Wen and Qiu Yi's playful chasing.

Why was the homeroom teacher replaced by the academic affairs director?

And it was the principal's green shirt?

What does this have to do with the principal?

It's utterly baffling.

"Tsk tsk, the relationships at our school are really messed up." Hua Yinyin clicked her tongue.

"I think you'd better not believe these rumors..." Mo Xueyao said speechlessly, "They're all fake."

"But everyone's talking about it."

"Is everything that everyone is saying and doing necessarily right?" Li Wanyan suddenly looked up and asked sharply.

Hua Yinyin, unusually attentive, wore a thoughtful expression.

"So it really is true that the principal has five wives?" She slapped her palm hard and muttered to herself.

"You didn't listen at all!" Mo Xueyao almost fell off her seat.

At this moment, Ye Wen calmly walked into the classroom, and the whispered gossip immediately stopped.

"Everyone, start your morning reading. Don't stop reading just because I'm not here," Ye Wen said as usual, as if nothing had happened that morning. "By the way, Mo Xueyao, come to my office during the long break after the second period."

"Huh? Oh..." Mo Xueyao felt a little uneasy, wondering what the homeroom teacher meant by calling her to the long break.

Could it be that those rumors have already reached her ears?

It's all Wang Jiale's fault, all he does is gossip...

Now no one believes her explanations anymore.

Moreover, it seems she believed the rumors that others had relayed back to her.

Can't you at least have some discernment...?

Mo Xueyao helplessly covered her forehead.

He endured the long break like this, and he couldn't concentrate on either of the two physics classes. Although he knew they were all rumors, he still inexplicably felt that his physics teacher, Ye Yu, had been cuckolded.

The rumor then spread that the head of the teaching department was Ye Yu's girlfriend.

Although the physics teacher was completely unaware of these strange rumors.

Some things are better faced directly; otherwise, if you keep dangling them in your mind, you'll lose all motivation.

She knocked on the door of the homeroom teacher's office with some nervousness and trepidation.

"Report."

"Come in."

"Ah... Teacher Ye..." Mo Xueyao walked over with a look of having made a mistake and asked cautiously.

"You're here," Ye Wen said without looking up.

“Hmm.” Mo Xueyao lowered her head. “Well… I didn’t tell anyone about those things… no, I mean the very beginning… ah, well, the rest was just what people spread themselves…” Mo Xueyao stammered as she explained.
