A Young Woman's Heart

"Taiyin~ Want a back rub?" Hua Yinyin pressed against her back, acting as if they were old acquaintances.

Most people would either be shy or run away—but most people wouldn't choose to take a bath with Hua Yinyin, who clearly likes to 'take advantage' of girls, in the first place...

Taiyin nodded slightly without expression, turned around, and quietly turned her back to Hua Yinyin.

After that, he let her do as she pleased and didn't react at all.

Of course, this was also because Hua Yinyin was still quite sensible and didn't really do anything bad, but she still touched those slender legs quite a few times.

After taking a bath, Taiyin put on her clothes expressionlessly and crawled into bed with Hua Yinyin.

Hua Yinyin, who always loved to make a ruckus, suddenly felt a little tired.

While she was taking a shower, she talked non-stop to herself, but received almost no response. This made her lose interest in continuing to 'tease' the other person.

And we really did make a fuss for a long time today, so after getting into bed, I suddenly felt sleepy.

Her last action was to hug the cool, icy moon as a pillow.

If she had been drawn to share a room with Mo Xueyao, she would have liked to sleep naked, just imagining how interesting the other person would react.

It's a pity I drew this perpetually expressionless psychology teacher...

No matter how many prank ideas I had, there was nowhere to use them.

It was only nine o'clock at the time. Mo Xueyao from the next room had just come out of the bathroom, while the others were still too excited to sleep because of the rare opportunity to sleep together.

Qiu Yi and Lü Bolun slept in the same room. The two grown men might have felt a little awkward at first, but after a few minutes, they were like brothers.

“Hey, Luberon.”

"What's wrong, Teacher Qiu?"

"Just call me Qiu Yi when we're off-campus." Qiu Yi patted Lu Bolun on the shoulder. "Hey, do you like Wang Jiale?"

"Huh?" Lu Bolun's brain didn't react for a moment, mainly because Qiu Yi's words were too sudden—wasn't the topic changed a little too quickly?

"Don't pretend, it's obvious you like her."

"Cough... It's alright, I like all pretty girls."

"That's called appreciation. Liking and appreciating are different."

"Heh...heh heh." Lu Bolun scratched his head and chuckled dryly.

"If you like someone, just go for it. You're still young, so you don't regret it later."

"Teacher, do you really like it when we're dating?" Lu Bolun asked jokingly.

"Tsk, what's with all this talk about puppy love? Actually, this is the age when kids should be dating. It's just that adults are worried that dating will interfere with their studies, so they forbid this so-called 'puppy love' outright." Qiu Yi rolled up the blanket and pushed Lu Bolun out a bit. "When they're in school, we demand that they study hard, and after graduation, we demand that they get married as soon as possible. This isn't raising kids like human beings; it's raising them like livestock. I think this is wrong, or rather, it's lazy education."

"Tsk, Mr. Qiu, you've gone on and on." Although Qiu Yi allowed Lu Bolun to call him by his first name, he still habitually addressed him with a respectful title. "If your daughter falls for another boy in high school, would you allow it?"

"I'd like to see which little brat dares to do this to my daughter—" Qiu Yi coughed twice, "What are you thinking? Maybe it'll be a son."

"So... if it's a daughter, then it's not allowed, right?"

"Knowing that he's a good man, I don't mind," Qiu Yi said earnestly.

“But guys who frequently have girls to date are usually not good people…” Lu Bolun rolled over, “Teacher Qiu, could you move a little closer? I’m about to fall down…”

"Tsk, sigh, life really does go by very quickly." The topic suddenly shifted to another subject. "Looking back now, it feels like my high school life was just yesterday."

"How old is the teacher this year?"

"I'm twenty-seven now, almost thirty."

"Does life go by that fast? I think high school life is quite long."

"Haha!" Qiu Yi laughed twice. "When you look back on it later, you'll realize how short those three years were."

"Tsk, Ms. Qiu, what unforgettable things happened to you in high school?"

"Unforgettable things... Ah... You don't run the 10,000 meters anymore, do you?"

"correct."

"Back then, the high school I attended had a 10,000-meter race, and for most people at the time, running 10,000 meters was quite normal."

“After all, it was that era…” Luberon turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, “And then what?”

"Then, damn it, I was pushed out to run the 10,000-meter race at the school sports meet. You have no idea what that felt like. Ugh, it was a nightmare."

"Are you exhausted?"

"No, not really, but I was completely exhausted after the run, I felt like I couldn't move at all." Qiu Yi's lips curled into a smile. "Hehe, by then I was already with your teacher Ye Wen, and she disregarded the feelings of all the teachers in the school and ran over to give me CPR, hahaha—"

"Back then, there were probably more people who opposed early dating, right?"

"Of course, back then, dating in school could even get you expelled, hehe. Your principal was two years ahead of me, which is why he wanted to make some changes to the school after he returned from studying in Japan."

"By the way, if I performed CPR on you then, would that count as kissing?"

"I guess that's about right in the principal's and the leaders' eyes." Qiu Yi scratched his cheek. "Thank goodness, we almost got expelled. We only managed to avoid expulsion by using the excuse of 'artificial respiration,' but we still received disciplinary action and were put into different classes."

"But that still didn't stop you two from being together?" Luberon asked with interest.

"Hehe, that's the power of love, young man, learn from it~" Qiu Yi said smugly.

Lu Bolun's gossip-loving soul seemed to have been awakened: "Teacher Qiu, tell me some stories from your youth, are there any interesting ones?"

"Interesting? There are so many." Qiu Yi put his arms behind his head. "How about we talk about that one, the one where I saved her?"

"Oh...you mean the time when Teacher Ye Wen was kidnapped?"

"Yes, I'm telling you, people really died that time, and the other side had guns. You know, it's very difficult for people to own guns in our country."

"Yes, but it must have been quite chaotic back then, right?"

"Yes, but it was quite dangerous back then..."

Qiu Yi continued telling his story, and the two of them were in high spirits, seemingly able to talk until dawn without any problem.

In the other people's rooms, there were also their own unique lively activities.

Aya Akimoto and Wan-yan Li were in the same room. They hadn't showered yet and were doing yoga.

Just because Li Wanyan asked, "How did you grow so tall?", the answer was, of course, "exercise."

So Aya Akimoto, being the action-oriented person she is, dragged Li Wanyan into exercising. They did relatively less strenuous yoga, mostly stretching exercises.

Although stretching was very painful, Li Wanyan stubbornly endured it, unwilling to let others discover how afraid of pain she was.

A mask called strength is worn on her face, and she rarely takes it off.

Gao Yuan, who was unusually quiet all day, seemed to have something on his mind and went to bed early—he shared a room with Mr. Xue.

Overweight Tian Xinnan received VIP treatment—sleeping in a room all by herself. Actually, Ye Wen was initially embarrassed to suggest it, but fortunately, Tian Xinnan herself suggested sleeping in a room by herself because it would be more comfortable, thus relieving any potential awkwardness.

From this perspective, she actually has some self-awareness.

Lu Chengyuan was assigned to share a room with Ye Wen. Ye Wen originally wanted to share a room with her Chinese class representative, but under her persistent prompting, Hua Yinyin chose a different number card.

Hua Yinyin originally wanted to draw a room with Mo Xueyao, but something went wrong and she ended up sleeping with Taiyin instead.

This disrupted Ye Wen's plans.

However, her interactions with Lu Chengyuan were still quite pleasant. Although she wasn't often called to the office to help out as a class representative, Lu Chengyuan was still a student in her class.

Ye Wen had a very good relationship with the girls; they were practically inseparable.

This has led to a situation where boys are often a little afraid of her, while girls don't treat her like a teacher at all, but rather talk to her like classmates.

This kind of relationship has its pros and cons.

Chapter 141 Rubbing

The time was Sunday, March 12th, at 7:30 AM.

It should be the time when the sun is shining brightly, but the sky is pitch black, as if frozen in the dead of night.

The rain poured down, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

In ancient times, people might have thought, "Who has committed heinous crimes and angered God?"

The ground was damp, and a large amount of water flowed into the ditches and into the lake.

When Mo Xueyao first woke up, she thought it was only two or three o'clock, but when she looked at the alarm clock, she realized that it was already quite late.

"Meow meow—" Wang Jiale was having a strange dream, gently rubbing against Mo Xueyao while mumbling incoherently, drooling all over her collar. "I'm just a cat... why do I have to learn piano..."

"Cough!" Mo Xueyao choked on her own saliva. "That's awful... Is practicing piano really this painful?"

"Waaah... Why do I still have to play... My... My hands are sore, meow..." Mo Xueyao didn't know what Wang Jiale's image was in her dream, but listening to her ramblings, she couldn't help but imagine a little white cat with fluffy paws outstretched, playing the piano.

Hmm...surprisingly cute?

“Mi Sao Rui—Du Sao…Fa—**, Mi Fa Sao…” She was still humming in her dream. Mo Xueyao listened carefully and found that it was the tune of Edelweiss, and it seemed that she hadn’t sung it wrong.

"It seems Lele is under a lot of pressure too." She shook her head and smiled. "Well... everyone has pressure, that's normal."

While Mo Xueyao was lost in thought, Wang Jiale suddenly bit down, landing right on her flesh. Although it wasn't very hard, it still hurt a little.

"Hey!" Mo Xueyao quickly sat up. "Lele, what are you doing?"

"Waaah... Don't touch my head... or I'll stunt my growth!" Wang Jiale yelled in her sleep.

The sleep talking is quite a serious symptom; it usually happens when people are under a lot of stress, although it's quite amusing...

"Wake up, it's time to get up." Mo Xueyao could only helplessly wake her up.

The latter opened her eyes in confusion, glanced out the window, and then pulled the covers back over her head: "What time is it...?"

"It's almost eight o'clock." Mo Xueyao moved the time forward by half an hour, just like when her mother woke her up.

"Huh? It's so late?" For students, even if they sleep in, it's about time to get up by eight o'clock. This is a habit they develop at home—because if they don't get up, their parents will keep nagging them.

"Hmm." Mo Xueyao responded perfunctorily, putting on a loose casual outfit. She usually wouldn't choose to wear a skirt when she wasn't going to school.

Wang Jiale stretched like a lazy cat, then fell asleep again while sitting on the bed. She didn't wake up until Mo Xueyao came out after washing up. She wiped her drool and grinned sheepishly.
