A Young Woman's Heart

"Welcome, welcome~" Shen Kelin pushed open the door and pulled Mo Xueyao, who was hesitating whether to knock, inside.

Actually, she wasn't invited; she just remembered their previous agreement—

I hope she'll be a guest on the next rainy noon.

But since she hadn't contacted him beforehand, she wondered if it was presumptuous of her to just come over like this.

"Um..." Mo Xueyao was a little embarrassed as she was pulled inside and sat down awkwardly on the chair next to her.

Although there is only one microphone, it is perfectly fine for two people to use.

"I knew you'd come!" Shen Kelin patted her head with satisfaction. "You didn't disappoint me!"

"Alright, alright..." Mo Xueyao struggled against her wandering hands, just like when she was always 'bullied' by her in junior high school. "The broadcast should be starting soon, right?"

"Yes, it's about to start. It's lunch break now, so there might still be some people who haven't finished their lunch. Just wait a little longer," Shen Kelin replied, combing her short hair again.

Even though it was just a broadcast and no one could see her, she still seemed very conscious of her image—but she wasn't like this before.

Seemingly noticing Mo Xueyao's strange gaze, Shen Kelin turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? After all, it's a rather formal job! It's normal to tidy up a bit, isn't it?"

"Nobody can see you anyway..." Mo Xueyao muttered helplessly.

"This is to keep your energy and spirit in good condition. Xiaoyao, your hair is a bit messy, shall I comb it for you?"

"I can do it myself..."

Before Mo Xueyao could finish speaking, Shen Kelin interrupted her.

So she had no choice but to accept the latter's hair-combing service.

“I said back in junior high that I wish you could have long hair, hehe, now I finally have the chance!” Shen Kelin said, shaking her head as she braided a hairstyle for Mo Xueyao that she found very complicated.

It's a European-style braid, similar to Hua Yinyin's.

Who would have thought that Shen Kelin, who is usually so carefree, is actually so skillful?

"Hehe, how is it? It's different from your usual braids. Doesn't it have a different feel?" Shen Kelin asked with satisfaction after braiding her hair.

"It's alright..." Mo Xueyao felt as if she had become the incarnation of Hua Yinyin.

The only difference is that Hua Yinyin has two braids, while hers has a single braid.

Another blinding flash of lightning streaked across the window, and pitch-black raindrops pattered against the windowpane.

"What's wrong? You seem nervous?"

"Uh...maybe..." Mo Xueyao nodded awkwardly, looking around, "Do you have any scripts with those kinds of dialogues?"

"There's absolutely no such thing. Rainy Day Broadcast is just a casual broadcast! It's the same even if guests come to visit. Anyway, it's not a particularly formal radio station."

Mo Xueyao looked at her with droopy eyelids, almost forgetting who had just said that they should be more formal.

“And it’s more fun this way, isn’t it?” Shen Kelin put her elbow on Mo Xueyao’s shoulder and winked at her.

This left her momentarily speechless.

"Alright, alright, actually there aren't many fixed segments now, it's mostly free play." Shen Kelin finally decided to stop teasing Mo Xueyao and said seriously, "First, we'll talk about recent campus stories, then we'll ask the guests questions, and then we'll read the selected notes that others have submitted. The notes have all sorts of content, they're very interesting."

"What are the guest questions...?" Mo Xueyao grasped the key point.

"Hehe, this is a secret, otherwise we won't be able to see your true reaction later!"

As they were talking, the head of the teaching department walked in, pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses. He didn't seem surprised at all when he saw Mo Xueyao.

It's unclear whether Shen Kelin mentioned it beforehand or whether she didn't interfere with the rain broadcast plan, so they assumed Mo Xueyao was a pre-booked guest.

"The broadcast can begin," the head of the teaching department said gently, but still with an aura that made people afraid to approach him.

Students sometimes fear the head of student affairs even more than the principal, because the principal doesn't really get involved; instead, the head of student affairs is in charge of all kinds of disciplinary actions and punishments.

Mo Xueyao didn't dare to look her in the eye and lowered her head as if she felt guilty.

"Okay! Leave it to me!" Shen Kelin responded readily and efficiently, turning on the microphone. "Ahem, ahem, hello, can you hear me? Can you hear me?"

Her voice suddenly came through the school's loudspeakers.

However, as the head of the teaching department closed the door again, the sounds became indistinct, as if they were coming from a great distance.

"Hello everyone~" Shen Kelin cleared her throat, "Welcome to today's Rainy Day Radio! The rain today isn't cold at all, it actually has a refreshing feel to it! Taking a nap... oh no, studying at this time of day can be twice as effective!"

The usually carefree Shen Kelin has also become more feminine.

Mo Xueyao's expression was somewhat complicated.

The reason she and Shen Kelin were so close in junior high school was mainly because Shen Kelin's personality was very boyish, making it comfortable to be around him and giving him a buddy-like feeling.

However, precisely because of this, although she always hung out with boys, she never dated a boyfriend.

Most people, including Mo Xueyao, only regarded her as a brother.

"I forgot to introduce myself again, everyone! I'm Shen Kelin from Class 5, Grade 1!" As she spoke, she gently patted Mo Xueyao's thigh and gestured to her with her eyes. "And then, we have a special guest today. I won't tell you her name, let's see if you can guess who she is!"

Mo Xueyao rubbed her thigh helplessly, wondering why people always liked to pat her thigh. Was it because it was more fleshy?

Should I try to slim down my legs?

But actually, legs with some curves are the most attractive...

Of course, it also feels the most comfortable to touch.

This might be why people always like to pat her thigh?

Just like the reason why guys always like to pat fat guys' butts?

Wait a minute, does that mean she's basically fat?

Mo Xueyao began to worry about her weight.

She felt they should buy a weighing scale for their home so she could check if her weight was too high...

Of course, you can go to the pharmacy to weigh yourself, but if you just go there to weigh yourself without buying any medicine, will you be kicked out?

Amidst her jumbled thoughts, Mo Xueyao still managed to speak: "Ah, um... I... Hello everyone."

"So, did anyone guess it? Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. That's right, our special guest this time is one of the most popular school beauties at Yukong High School—Mo Xueyao!"

Actually, you could have removed "one of" entirely; it's just a technique to avoid making absolute statements.

How famous is Mo Xueyao?

Even in this era before the internet was widespread, many people had seen her photos. Wherever she went, boys would often recognize her and whisper among themselves.

However, perhaps it's because Mo Xueyao's blue eyes make her seem too aloof, that she hasn't been harassed by any boys so far.

Thankfully not, otherwise she would have had a terrible headache.

“Come on, Mo Xueyao, let’s say hello formally?” Shen Kelin nudged her arm.

"Hello everyone... I'm Mo Xueyao from Class 2, Grade 11," Mo Xueyao said awkwardly, then paused again.

If Hua Yinyin were here, she would have already snatched the microphone and started talking non-stop, right?

"Our school beauty is quite reserved, probably because we're going to ask her some interesting questions today?" Shen Kelin said mysteriously, but instead of starting the questioning session, she started rambling on and on, trying to get Mo Xueyao involved in the conversation as well.

Most of the time, she could only manage an awkward laugh and a few perfunctory "uh-huhs".

But the other students were intrigued and eager to hear what the questions would be, wondering if there would be any interesting or even terrible questions that involved privacy.

If school radio had a 'listening rate,' then the number of people listening to the radio would probably be as high as 70% or 80% by now, right?

"Little Yaoyao is a guest? I didn't even know..." Hua Yinyin muttered sourly.

Wang Jiale teased, "Xiaoyao doesn't necessarily have to tell you what's going on. You're not her husband."

"Tch, why can't it be!"

"Do you have that function?" Lu Chengyuan interjected, making a mischievous joke.

"Wow, you two ganged up on me! You're dead meat! But Lele is fine, she's like a flat-screen TV, she has no feel at all, and it hurts to touch her." Hua Yinyin pouted and deliberately glanced at Wang Jiale.

Wang Jiale, the shortest in the class, angrily patted his flat chest: "Who said that? I'm at least a little bit, okay!"

"Uh...like a slice of toast with a fried egg on it?" Hua Yinyin described while scratching her ear, of course, she was still teasing her, "No, it should be smaller than that, right?"

"Ugh, that wretched Hua Yinyin!"

Wang Jiale pounced on him, and the two started tussling over again.

Wang Jiale was probably the only one in the class who wasn't afraid of spending money.

Because there was absolutely nothing about her that attracted her.

She has no buttocks and no breasts.

Her thighs were so slender, without any fleshiness.

Hua Yinyin has a very discerning eye for aesthetics!

"Ahem, alright, speaking of the PE class that's been changed to swimming lessons recently, let's start our Q&A session!" Shen Kelin changed the subject, catching Mo Xueyao off guard, "Mo Xueyao, what kind of swimsuit do you like? A bikini, a full-coverage one, or... a three-piece?"

……

Chapter 167 Strange and Weird Questions

Bikini swimwear generally refers to the more revealing and alluring triangle-shaped swimsuit.

The appearance is roughly the same as wearing only underwear.

Full-coverage swimsuits are more conservative.

The lower body lengths vary, and the style is similar to boxer shorts; some can cover most of the leg, while others only cover a little bit of the thigh.

The upper body was similar to wearing a vest, with the navel not exposed.

Swimsuits worn in school swimming lessons are a particularly conservative type.

As for bikinis, they are generally not seen in swimming pools.

You can probably find these things in adult stores, right...?

At least for Chinese people of this era, very few could overcome their sense of shame and wear such a swimsuit in public.

Although a three-piece swimsuit can also be called a bikini, if we separate it out, it generally refers to the thong swim bottom and the small piece of fabric on the upper body that can only cover the two points.
