A Young Woman's Heart

Chapter 131 The Weekend Villa Party (Part 1)

Because quite a few students were attending the weekend gathering, the homeroom teacher only provided an address and information such as which buses could get nearby.

Fortunately, Mo Xueyao's father had lived in Hangzhou for more than ten years and knew almost every road. After a little thought, he gave her and Li Wanyan the simplest way to get there.

But even the simplest way requires changing buses.

The two of them set off at 5:30 in the morning, just like when they went to school.

Actually, Li Wanyan didn't want to get up so early. She usually gets up early, so she wanted to sleep in a little longer on weekends.

Mo Xueyao, however, felt that they should go earlier so they could play a little longer.

Most importantly, if you arrive early, you're less likely to get stuck in traffic.

Even though I left home so early, I didn't arrive in the vicinity until almost seven o'clock.

"Hmm... this should be it." Mo Xueyao looked up and around, finding the place eerily deserted.

The surrounding area is filled with trees sprouting new buds, as well as many evergreen trees that are significantly greener than in winter.

I didn't notice it when I wasn't outside, but once I came out, I found that the skirt of spring had already trailed over many places. The once bare soil was now covered with lush green grass, swaying gently in the breeze.

Apart from this bus stop, there were no other buildings to be seen.

Moreover, even this platform was built very simply, just a slightly raised platform made of cement and a station sign.

Even a rain shelter wasn't installed.

A highway winds its way forward, as if traveling through a forest.

"Go straight ahead, then turn left at the fork in the road, and after walking a little further you'll see the entrance to the villa area," Li Wanyan said softly, glancing at the note she had prepared.

"Phew." Mo Xueyao stretched out a big yawn, then took a deep breath. "The air here is so fresh. Let's treat this as a walk. By the way, Wanyan, is breakfast with you?"

"Here you go." Li Wanyan handed her the pan-fried dumplings that had cooled down a little from being piping hot.

The breakfast they bought consisted of ten fried dumplings, a steamed cake, and a bag of soy milk each.

Ten fried dumplings cost one yuan, and a large steamed cake cost five jiao—bigger than Mo Xueyao's two fists combined.

The two of them walked and ate, enjoying the scenery along the way.

When we finished breakfast, we arrived at the main gate of the villa complex.

Although she was mentally prepared, Mo Xueyao still couldn't help but gasp in surprise, forgetting to chew the food in her mouth.

Even though we're still in China, it feels like we're abroad. It's exactly like the European-style towns we see on TV or in movies!

If it weren't for the Chinese road signs, I probably would have thought I had entered a wormhole and arrived in a faraway European country.

Every household here has its own yard. Some people grow all kinds of flowers, while others just grow ordinary shrubs.

The streets are also adorned with public greenery, featuring plants that bloom and bear fruit in different seasons, meaning that each season offers a unique charm.

And there really are foreigners living here. A typical Asian man and a beautiful blue-eyed woman were walking side by side. Ahead of them, a blonde little girl who looked more like her mother was giggling and chasing a black butterfly. Her dress looked expensive.

But Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan's shock was not over yet. When they found the path to the island, they were almost speechless with astonishment.

Although it is a small island in a lake, it is not small in size. Most importantly, it is almost completely independent, like a small kingdom isolated from the world.

"I never imagined that our homeroom teacher could be so rich..." Mo Xueyao rubbed her nose. "I thought the English teacher was the richest, but it turns out she's the richest one?"

Li Wanyan stared at the large iron gate leading to the island, seemingly wondering what it would be like to live in such a place. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Didn't Lele say that the English teacher and the homeroom teacher live together?"

"So, whose house is this anyway?"

"It's more likely to be Teacher Wang," Li Wanyan speculated.

Mo Xueyao nodded, looked around, and finally saw the doorbell. She then stood on tiptoe and pressed it.

The candy, which she had brought in a cloth bag to play with, finally couldn't stay still and jumped out of the bag.

The reason I carried it in a bag instead of holding it in my arms was because I was afraid the bus driver would refuse me a ride.

Fortunately, Su Tang was relatively quiet on the bus and didn't cause any trouble.

But its patience seems to be nearing its limit.

It jumped out of the bag and easily squeezed through the gap in the iron gate, swaggering inside with its tail held high like a straight antenna.

"Hey, Su Tang went inside by herself... We haven't gone in yet," Mo Xueyao muttered. "I rang the doorbell but there's no response. Is A-Wen still not up?"

"Ah—who is it?" Just then, Ye Wen's somewhat confused voice came from the intercom next to the doorbell.

"Teacher Ye!" Mo Xueyao called out loudly, "Time to get up! Wanyan and I are already at the door!"

"Hey, what are you two doing up so early?"

"It's getting late, it's already 7:30." Mo Xueyao picked up the small clock in her pocket and glanced at it. "Since it's a party, we should prepare early, right?"

"Well, didn't we agree... at nine o'clock... haha..." Ye Wen yawned widely, then the iron gate slowly opened inwards. "You guys come in first, I'll go wash up—"

Then, her voice faded slightly into the distance: "Qiu Yi—!! Get up, you bastard!!!"

“Ah Wen roaring like that, it’s a rare sight…” Mo Xueyao peeked inside. This villa could be considered a small manor, it was so big that she didn’t even know where to go.

As if she had been there before, Su Tang led the way with ease, and soon they arrived at the main entrance of the villa.

Mo Xueyao tried to push open the heavy wooden door, and a dark, shadowy thing darted out instantly, startling her.

"Ahhh!" Mo Xueyao screamed instinctively as she dodged to the side, because she saw what the other person was after it suddenly appeared.

Yes, it was a large black dog; if a person stood up, it would be almost as tall as her.

It was filled with a sense of oppression.

For Mo Xueyao, who is afraid of dogs, it was terrifying; she was afraid that it would open its mouth and bite her.

Li Wanyan remained calm, but she also took a half-step back without making a sound.

"Meow~" But Su Tang was much bolder than the other two. She actually stepped forward and meowed, and even stretched out her paw to pat the other's front paw, as if she was saying hello.

"Cough..." Mo Xueyao took several steps back and almost tripped over a pebble. Then she saw Wang Qianyu, who was dressed very smartly, walk out.

"Don't worry, Black King doesn't bite," Wang Qianyu said with a light laugh as she twirled the car keys in her hand.

Unlike her usual cute outfits, she looked exceptionally capable today, like a professional female race car driver—although her height was a bit disproportionate.

"Hello, Teacher Wang," Li Wanyan greeted politely.

"Ah, Teacher Wang... could you let that dog... go somewhere else?" Mo Xueyao tried to appear fearless, but the way she swallowed betrayed her completely.

"Alright, Black King, stop standing here scaring people. Go away and play somewhere else." Wang Qianyu picked up the huge black dog with some effort, moved it aside, took a dog toy from the shoe cabinet, and threw it outside. The dog immediately ran over excitedly and started playing with the rattling ball.

"Alright, you two sit in the living room first. Wenwen will entertain you two after she's washed up. I have to go out for a bit," Wang Qianyu said, walking outside.

"Isn't Teacher Wang going to play with everyone today?" Mo Xueyao asked cautiously as she moved into the villa's hall.

"No, I'm going to pick up Lele and Lü Bolun. This is a special privilege for the English class representative." Wang Qianyu laughed and walked into the garage next door. A moment later, a bright red sports car drove out and rushed out of the fully open gate.

Mo Xueyao, who was a little envious just a moment ago, is no longer envious at all now.

She was reminded of the van she rode in in Russia; if it went too fast, it could be terrifying...

Especially in areas with heavy traffic.

Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan sat down on the sofa. Ye Wen didn't get to see them, but she did see the art teacher, Qiu Yi.

Perhaps because men wash up faster, he was pulled up to greet the guests.

"Hey, good morning." Qiu Yi greeted him cheerfully. "Have you two had breakfast yet?"

"I've already eaten," Mo Xueyao quickly replied.

"Oh, if you're still hungry, help yourself to the snacks on the table." Qiu Yi yawned widely and plopped down on the sofa. "Want to play some games?"

"What game?" Mo Xueyao asked curiously, perking up her ears.

Li Wanyan wasn't interested; she was simply quietly observing her surroundings.

“Hey, they have all kinds of games.” Qiu Yi’s eyes lit up as he said this.

"Really?"

"Of course, we've transformed the basement into an arcade. It's fully equipped with game consoles, home consoles, computers, and handhelds—all of them are genuine games." Qiu Yi seemed particularly proud when he said the word 'genuine.'

"Arcade!" Mo Xueyao immediately stood up. "Teacher, I want to play!"

"Okay, what do you want to play?"

"Let's play King of Fighters first! If it's on our own, we can play it endlessly, right?"

"Of course."

"Come on! I'm really good at playing Iori Yagami!"

"Huh? Really? Back in the day, I was known as the underground King of Fighters, and I used Iori Yagami. Looks like you want to challenge me?"

"How will we know who's stronger if we don't try?" Mo Xueyao retorted without backing down.

Chapter 132 The Weekend Villa Party (Part Two)

Twisting the joystick vigorously, slamming the different colored buttons, and shouting without restraint—this is a man's romance.

Throughout the game room, the sound of 'bang bang bang' could be heard continuously.

"Hey hah—! Take this!"

"Hey, I'm on guard, hey, what do you mean?" Before Qiu Yi could finish his smug words, Mo Xueyao found an opening, darted behind him, and took away half of his health with a combo.

"Teacher, you're not good enough." Mo Xueyao swayed and glanced at him sideways.

"Damn, how can a man be weak! I was just letting you have it, okay? I, Yagami, am a beast!"

"Teacher, you're getting old, your reactions aren't fast enough, pfft hahaha—" Mo Xueyao laughed without any restraint, because Qiu Yi had just used his ultimate move in the wrong direction, leaving his back completely exposed to her. "Then I won't be polite!"

"Damn it, no, no, no, spare me, spare me!" Qiu Yi blurted out a curse in his excitement, and then begged for mercy without any regard for his image.
