A Young Woman's Heart

“Hmm…” Mo Xueyao’s lips twitched, feeling that there was something ambiguous about what she said.

She felt that she must have been led astray by Hua Yinyin, and that she kept thinking about terrible things.

Chapter 195 Random Social Lobby

Shen Kelin, who was almost asleep while waiting in the pyramid-shaped cardboard box, suddenly heard a rustling sound from the other side, and then it seemed that someone crawled in and sat down in a chair.

"Hello?" Shen Kelin called out tentatively, resting her chin on her hand.

"Ahem, hello?" came a rather unremarkable male voice from the other end of the line.

"Oh—hello."

"Hello."

An awkward silence fell over the room.

Fortunately, Shen Kelin is a talkative girl. After a few seconds of silence, she immediately started a new topic: "What grade are you in?"

"First year of high school."

"Oh~ I'm also a first-year high school student."

"Ha...it feels quite subtle."

"It does have a bit of, well, a touch of mystery."

The boy opposite me relaxed a little: "So, what are your hobbies?"

"My hobbies are... all kinds of movies and TV series, I prefer the realistic kind."

"Oh! I also like watching movies, the kind that are action or sci-fi."

At the beginning of the conversation, the questions asked were somewhat superficial and formulaic, but at least they were not offensive and appeared polite.

However, as the conversation deepened, the two, who couldn't see each other, began to reveal their more authentic selves.

"Ah, yeah, that female lead is so stupid, how could she like a male lead like that? I was so annoyed watching it!" The boy across from me slammed his fist on the table and shouted indignantly.

"Yeah, I wish I could kill that kind of scum. His mother is disgusting too, and his whole family is disgusting. I really don't understand why anyone would like him. Is it because he's handsome? Or rich? Even though I'm a girl, I think the female lead is despicable. She puts herself in such a low position."

"Especially when the male lead pushed her into the water, and he said it was unintentional, and the female lead actually believed him, how stupid! It was obviously intentional! Even if it was impulsive, she must have had that thought in mind before she did it!"

"Exactly, that kind of scumbag male lead should be paired with a bitch. Isn't that bitch quite suitable for him? Watching the two of them scheme against each other is much more interesting than watching the male lead bully the stupid female lead."

"The screenwriters nowadays are too melodramatic. They always like to follow the old formulas, and in order to film more episodes, they deliberately create disgusting plot twists."

"Yeah! Come to think of it, you're quite to my liking. Hey, how about we become friends?" the straightforward Shen Kelin asked directly.

"Of course you can, but why are you even more agreeable than me, a guy..."

"You have to be straightforward, right? I hate all that fussing and indecisiveness, it's so annoying! Hmm, shall we go out?"

"it is good."

When Shen Kelin emerged, she finally saw the boy opposite her.

Hmm... he's a round, chubby white guy.

It was cleaned up quite well, so it didn't offend anyone.

"Huh, this isn't quite what I expected?"

"Well, what kind of image do you have in mind?"

"Hmm... skinny and short?"

"Looks like you two are having a good chat..." Mo Xueyao said with an awkward smile as she looked at the two of them.

"Yeah, you really can't judge a book by its cover." Shen Kelin put her hand on the chubby boy's shoulder. "Hey, what class are you in?"

"I'm in Class 4." The chubby boy was embarrassed again.

"Hmm, you were so straightforward just now, why are you being so hesitant now? Are you even a man?" Shen Kelin punched his chest. "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhu Chengfeng."

"...How strong a wind would it take to lift you up?" Shen Kelin paused for a second before asking jokingly.

"Cough, ha..."

"Alright, alright, let's go outside and chat. Oh, by the way, let's take a walk on the playground, we're bored anyway."

"Oh, oh... with me?"

"Huh? You think I'm on a date with you?"

"no no……"

"Well, it's your own business what you think. It's fine to treat it as a date, but for now we're just friends."

This sounds like there's an opportunity...

Mo Xueyao scoffed inwardly and pouted.

Shen Kelin's straightforwardness sometimes leaves even the boys a little overwhelmed.

She's the kind of girl who's particularly proactive, right?

And they're even more proactive than they were in junior high.

Hmm, I always bullied her in junior high school. Was that also a way of expressing my feelings for her?

Mo Xueyao thought about many things in a short time.

"Xiaoyao, bye-bye! I'll help you get some people to come and play. It's more fun with lots of people here! That way, there's more randomness."

"Hmm..." After about half an hour, no one else came, and Mo Xueyao's confidence began to waver. "Alright, then I'll have to ask you to find more people to come and play here."

Shen Kelin's influence was stronger than she had imagined, perhaps because of her outgoing personality and wide social circle.

Half an hour later, people started knocking on the door one after another. Then, more and more people came. Not only was the 'pyramid' full of people, but there were also people waiting in line.

The cafeteria is open all day during the school anniversary celebration, which means you can go whenever you want to have lunch. If lunch is sold out, you can also get afternoon tea snacks.

The loss of a sense of competition has ironically made the students who used to sprint to the cafeteria as soon as the fourth period ended less eager to eat.

Everyone seemed quite relaxed, waiting until they got hungry before going to the cafeteria to eat.

Some people even waited specifically for the legendary afternoon tea snacks.

Even the homeroom teacher didn't reveal what it was, which only made people more curious.

"Yaoyao, are you hungry?" Li Wanyan asked softly.

"No, Wanyan, let's wait for afternoon tea snacks. I think they'll have them after 2 p.m.

"But I'm a little hungry now, and will there be enough afternoon tea snacks?" Ye Banxia rubbed her stomach. "By the way, shouldn't we split up later?"

"Let Wanyan find some other people to cover our shifts. We should be able to rest this afternoon, right?" Mo Xueyao swayed from side to side, bumping into Li Wanyan and Cha Li. "I also want to see what the other classes are up to!"

"There should be shifts, right?" Cha Li nudged Mo Xueyao's head with her forehead. "There should be six groups of people, four people each half a day."

“Yeah, I should have told Wen.” Mo Xueyao banged her head back. “But it’s not convenient to arrange for someone now, is it? And if the other people aren’t familiar with the situation, they can’t help keep an eye on things.”

"It's actually quite simple. Just distribute masks, let people sit down, and then arrange for other people to sit opposite them without their knowledge."

"It seems so."

"Okay, I'll talk to Awen later!" Cha Li bumped into Ye Banxia next to her like a roly-poly toy. "We can't always be the ones doing the work!"

"Shall we go talk to Wen together later, about Wanyan?"

"I'm fine with anything," Li Wanyan replied nonchalantly, then suddenly looked up and whispered to the newcomer, "Welcome."

"There are no seats available right now. If you don't mind, can we wait a bit?" Mo Xueyao said quickly.

……

In the center of the playground, where the football field used to be, a large stage has now been set up.

This morning's preliminary round of the campus singing competition was held, and the participants were all students who had registered in advance. Because the school leaders' speeches in the morning took up a lot of time, the preliminary round may not end until the afternoon.

The playground was bustling with people coming and going.

It's like a bustling market.

Most stalls sell goods, but some offer free benefits to recruit members, while others provide various services.

For example, Wang Jiale's "Supernatural Phenomena" Society provides various divination services.

The preliminary round was halfway through. Standing on the stage was Gao Yuan, and below was a group of teachers who served as judges. They might be from different subjects, but they were all people with a deep understanding of music.

Of course, art teachers make up the majority of them.

As the intro melody began, Gao Yuan swayed his arm, appearing quite relaxed.

He seemed to be used to such grand occasions.

"Lying down, it resembles a drawn bow; standing, it resembles a pine tree."

"Sit still as a bell, walk like a gust of wind..."

This is a 'popular song' from three years ago, titled "Chinese Kung Fu".

Gao Yuan, who usually likes to joke around and act unseriously, appeared quite serious and earnest at this moment. His voice also became lower and deeper than usual, no longer as sharp as it usually is.

This is a very powerful song, and Gao Yuan performed it very well. At least in terms of campus singing competitions, it can be considered top-notch.

However, if you stare at someone else, the voice will sound very out of place.

It's like putting a fat person's head on a muscular man's body.

Of course, this is a singing competition, not a talent show, so the judges still use singing ability as the absolute standard.

After the song was finished, a lot of people applauded.

"Wow, Gao Yuan, that's amazing!" Zhou Yong shouted from below the stage. "I didn't know you could sing so well!"

"Not just okay, that's incredibly awesome!" Gao Yuan smugly wiped his nose and replied into the microphone. When he saw the judges looking at him with half-smiles, he quickly chuckled and said, "Hehe, no, no, I mean, I'm really good at bragging."
