A Young Woman's Heart

Mo Xueyao rested her chin on her hand and looked out at the playground.

A gentle breeze brushed her face, making her squint as she looked up at the vast sky.

A beam of golden sunlight shone on the windowsill, revealing many tiny specks of dust.

Suddenly, she felt a gentle tap on her back, snapping her out of her daze as she stared at the empty playground.

Turning her head, she saw the girl named Mo Xiaoxiao smiling at her.

Two deep dimples always involuntarily attract other people's attention.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xueyao asked.

"I just wanted to ask you, why are you looking for Zhou Yong? Did you know each other before?" She chuckled and winked.

Sure enough, girls are always very curious about gossip.

"I don't know him... I just picked him randomly." Mo Xueyao quickly clarified to avoid creating more misunderstandings later. "I just thought he looked ordinary and would be easy to get along with."

“Oh...that’s true. Actually, I’m not like Lele, always staring at handsome guys. There are quite a few handsome guys who are too self-important and narcissistic. In reality, it’s quite tiring to get to know them.” Mo Xiao smiled and covered her mouth, expressing her agreement with Mo Xueyao.

"Um...yes...that's what I meant." Feeling understood, Mo Xueyao nodded vigorously, her goodwill towards the understanding Mo Xiaoxiao growing even stronger.

"Mo Xueyao, do you mind if I call you Xiaoyao directly?"

"It's all right."

"Hmm... Your skin is so fair..." Mo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time before blurting out this sentence, leaving Mo Xueyao licking her lips several times, unsure of how to respond.

"Is it natural? Or is it from maintenance?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked again.

"It's innate," Mo Xueyao answered very honestly.

"Ugh... I'm so envious." Mo Xiaoxiao slumped weakly onto the table.

Actually, she's not dark-skinned; she just has the normal light yellow skin tone typical of people of Asian descent, which actually suits her quite well.

"Speaking of which, have you dyed your hair?" Now it was Mo Xueyao's turn to ask.

"It's natural, probably from malnutrition or something," Mo Xiaoxiao muttered, tugging at her hair. "It's just that the ends are a bit yellow, which is why I always get called in by the teacher."

"Ha..." Mo Xueyao was about to burst into laughter, but then she remembered her current identity and realized that such laughter would damage her image, so she quickly suppressed her laughter after only one laugh.

Is he malnourished?

But her breasts are quite large...

Mo Xueyao's attention still couldn't help but fall on the strange things.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Mo Xueyao quickly shook her head. She couldn't very well just blurt out what she had been thinking, could she?

That would be far too awkward.

At that moment, the school bell rang.

At Yukong High School, the last period on Friday is always a class meeting.

The class meeting is taught by the homeroom teacher.

However, in Mo Xueyao's memory, it seems that the class meetings in junior high school later became classes exclusively for the homeroom teacher.

For example, if the homeroom teacher is a math teacher, then there will be an extra math class per week...

Class teacher Ye Wen walked in, her flat shoes clicking softly, and pointed to the boys who hadn't returned to their seats yet.

"Hurry up and get back to your seats, class meeting is about to start."

"Gao Yuan, if you keep walking so slowly, I'll get angry, and believe me, I'll make you double your homework tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan immediately sprinted back to his seat, but as soon as he sat down, the chair suddenly collapsed.

The students only heard a series of clanging and banging sounds, and then they saw Gao Yuan sitting on the ground, clutching his buttocks, unable to get up for a long time.

"Are you alright?" Li Wanyan was the first to offer a helping hand, but Gao Yuan looked at her for a long time without daring to grab her wrist. Instead, he chose to grab the leg of the boy behind him who was gloating and got up.

"Stop pulling it down, your pants are about to be pulled down!" the boy sitting behind Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"Cough cough!" Mo Xueyao, who was sitting far away, witnessed the whole thing and almost choked on her own saliva.

"Teacher, my chair is broken!" Gao Yuan shouted, raising his hand.

"Look at you, you have no character. I don't even want to give you a chair." Ye Wen shrugged. "You'll have to stand for the rest of the class. Hmm... I've got it. Come here, you'll be my secretary today."

"Teacher, I think I'd rather be a boss."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Come here, you'll be in charge of writing on the blackboard and erasing it."

"So this is your secretary... Teacher Ye, how about you bring up a female secretary and I sit in her seat?" Gao Yuan said in a cheeky tone, deliberately lowering his voice as if he were whispering.

But in reality, the whole class could hear what he was saying.

"Oh?" Ye Wen put her hands on her hips and looked at him with annoyance. "You're getting cocky, aren't you? Get up here right now, or you'll be staying for extra lessons today!"

"No, no, no, school only lets out early once a week, I don't want to stay..." Gao Yuan strode up to the podium and stood obediently next to Ye Wen, his chubby face full of smiles looking particularly 'sycophantic'.

"Alright, today's class meeting isn't really anything special. It's just to introduce a new classmate. You probably all know her by now after a day of classes." Ye Wen waved to Mo Xueyao. "Come on, Mo Xueyao, come to the podium!"

Before Mo Xueyao could stand up, Wang Jiale had already pulled the chair forward to make way for her to walk out.

The fact that all eyes were on her made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Especially now that she's wearing a skirt.

The other students were all sitting.

This also means that if the boys look straight ahead, they can see directly her smooth, rounded thighs under the hem of her skirt.

Thinking about this made her even more uncomfortable. She walked to the podium with somewhat unsteady steps. The podium provided some relief.

Then I felt a little ashamed. Was I thinking too sleazy of everyone?

"Well, Mo Xueyao, strictly speaking, isn't exactly a new student, because she theoretically enrolled with you all," Ye Wen said with a smile as she introduced Mo Xueyao to the students below the stage.

Mo Xueyao, however, was a little nervous. She didn't know what to do with her delicate hands, and her gaze felt awkward no matter where it fell.

"I was late because I was sick and stayed in the hospital for a month." After Ye Wen finished speaking, she handed her a piece of chalk. "Here, write your name on the blackboard and introduce yourself while you're at it."

"Do you really have to...do it?" Mo Xueyao asked in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

"Of course, every student introduced themselves. Well... but since you arrived late, you didn't get to see the other students' self-introductions."

“Okay…” Mo Xueyao turned around and faced the blackboard. At this moment, she wished she was wearing pants, so that she wouldn’t be so nervous.

Deep down, she still had the feeling of 'being a boy wearing girls' clothes,' which was the source of her nervousness, fearing that others would discover her true identity.

However, that is almost impossible.

Because of her nervousness, Mo Xueyao's handwriting was crooked and even worse than usual, but fortunately it was still legible.

"Turn around, turn around and introduce yourself." Ye Wen patted her on the shoulder, then stepped down from the podium.

"Uh..." Mo Xueyao gently pinched the hem of her clothes, looked at the pairs of eyes staring at her, and took a deep breath.

Then, suddenly, in a completely different, carefree tone, she said, "Ha... well, my name is Mo Xueyao, just like those three characters on the blackboard. My hobbies are drawing and reading, ha... haha..."

He started off with a good attitude, but later it turned into a forced laugh.

"Um... I also like watching Ultraman and Kamen Rider... Ah!" Mo Xueyao quickly covered her mouth, becoming even more embarrassed. "This... uh... that's it. It's nice to meet everyone!"

Before Ye Wen could speak, she hurriedly scurried back to her seat.

At that moment, she felt that she must have been seen as childish.

They're high school students after all, and they still like this kind of thing...

The laughter of the other students clearly confirmed Mo Xueyao's guess.

This made her face turn bright red, and she wished she could find a hole to bury herself in.

I was so nervous just now that I accidentally said some things I shouldn't have, and I was also a bit incoherent when I spoke...

Mo Xueyao felt that she shouldn't have been this nervous when she was a boy.

Can a single surgery really change a person's personality?

She lay on the table, burying her face in her arms, lost in thought.

"Well, actually, our classmate Mo Xueyao is quite shy, so everyone should get along well with her. Alright, everyone, you can study on your own now."

Upon hearing that it was a self-study period, some boys immediately lay down.

Others decisively took out extracurricular books to read.

Most of the remaining students did take out their homework to do, but their efficiency was completely different.

Those who chat while doing their homework probably won't even finish one subject's homework in a single class period.

"Tap tap tap—" Ye Wen, who had probably changed her shoes at noon, walked to Mo Xueyao's side in flat shoes, then leaned half her body on Wang Jiale's table and looked at Mo Xueyao.

"Mo Xueyao, Mo Xueyao?"

"Ah... what's wrong?" Mo Xueyao asked, trying to appear calm, and even yawned to cover up her embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm a little sleepy..."

However, her flushed face had already given her away.

"I heard you can draw?"

"Yes...I know a little."

"Are you interested in creating a blackboard newspaper for the class? Our class is just missing a publicity officer right now."

"I've seen Xiaoyao's doodles, and they're quite nice!"

Why are you calling her so affectionately now? — Mo Xueyao glanced at her helplessly.

"Then I'll leave it to you! You can go back today and work on it. This month's blackboard bulletin theme is 'Autumn'." Ye Wen immediately appointed Mo Xueyao as the publicity committee member.

This is way too casual!

Mo Xueyao thought to herself that although she didn't want to do so many troublesome things, she had no choice but to nod and agree.

It was really hard to refuse the teacher's request!
