A Young Woman's Heart

In the old days, perhaps there was actually a tiny bit of a possibility...

Mo Xueyao immediately thought of the KGB in neighboring Russia.

The atmosphere became incredibly heated during the final darting maneuver, and the principal smiled slightly, put away his monocle, and stepped off the stage.

Some bolder students surrounded him, asking him how he had trained.

Others, like Mo Xueyao, thought of spies and loudly voiced their guesses.

Mo Kong didn't ask them to disperse. Instead, he sat down in front of a chair under the stage and talked to the students about some things from the past.

Of course, Mo Xueyao, who was so far away, couldn't hear it at all.

After such a wonderful performance, the programs performed by the teachers who came on stage next seemed a bit bland.

However, the young teachers are quite attractive – mainly because they are able to let go of their airs and interact with students in a friendly manner on stage.

Qiu Yi and Ye Wen publicly displayed their affection—the two danced a duet, which included many scenes of the man lifting the woman up, making the students in the audience extremely envious.

Yao Gugu performed a magic trick using chemicals. Although it ended perfectly in the end, the process made people worry that she might dismantle the stage...

After going on stage, math teacher Jingdie used teacher Ye Yu as a negative example and demonstrated self-defense techniques for the students below, mainly for the girls.

This is a live teaching session. Although students may not learn much, mastering just one or two movements could come in handy in dangerous situations.

It's just a pity for Teacher Ye Yu, he was used as a punching bag...

Later on, Ms. Su from the medical affairs office also came on stage. Many people had never seen her before, and now they could finally see her in person.

Many students remarked that many of the female teachers at Yukong High School looked even younger than their female classmates.

If Ms. Su from the medical affairs office was involved, then Ms. Taiyin from the psychological counseling office certainly couldn't 'escape the ordeal' either.

She stood on the stage expressionlessly, remaining silent for a full three minutes.

At first, the students below felt a little embarrassed, but later, they even began to feel that this was part of the performance.

In the end, it was Teacher Su who came to the rescue, saying that the psychology teacher Taiyin would provide hugging services for the students, and the first ten students to rush onto the stage would be able to experience it once.

Now, many boys went crazy and started climbing onto the stage, creating a feeling of being besieged.

But a counselor is a counselor; she has extremely high mental fortitude. Even when surrounded by a group of boys whose eyes were almost red, she remained expressionless.

And in the end... well, when those ten boys who were hugged went down, they were all given a good 'beating' by their envious and jealous companions.

Chapter 209 Zhou Yong's Small Expectation

On Thursday, after a week of classes and three days of school celebrations, Zhou Yong finally got a chance to rest.

That day, he slept until eight o'clock, which is considered sleeping in for a student.

The sun shone lazily on him; it was a day when most people were going to work or school.

Car horns, bicycle bells, and loud arguments could be heard from time to time on the street.

Zhou Yong rubbed his head and sat up.

His bed was right next to the window, and he could see the dazzling sunlight as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Oh no!" He hurriedly sat up, but then slapped his forehead and remembered that today was a day off.

Although his parents had gone to work, he could leisurely get up slowly.

"No, I feel like I've forgotten something important..." Zhou Yong muttered, rubbing his temples, then jumped out of bed. "Oh right, I made plans to go out with her!"

The agreed time was 8:30, but it's already 8 o'clock.

Zhou Yong rushed into the bathroom, finished washing up in a minute, and then glanced at the breakfast on the table.

There was a little note left by his mother, telling him where breakfast and lunch were.

However, he didn't have time to eat right now. He only had time to pick up a cold corn cob and nibble on it while opening his piggy bank.

He took out a few banknotes and some change for the bus fare from his money jar and rushed out the door in a hurry.

Just as I got downstairs, I remembered that I had forgotten to lock the door, so I hurriedly ran back upstairs to lock it again before running towards the bus stop under the bright sunshine.

The bus he needed to take had just arrived at the stop, giving him no time to stop. He sped up and rushed onto the bus.

"Phew..." Zhou Yong breathed a sigh of relief and dropped a one-yuan coin into the coin slot. "This was even more tiring than the physical education test..."

Surprisingly, the buses were empty at this time of day.

Those who are supposed to go to work have already arrived, while those with plenty of time are still staying at home.

So there weren't many passengers on the bus, except for a middle-aged man who was rushing to work and was about to be late. He was clutching his briefcase and kept glancing at his watch, anxiously waiting for the bus to arrive at its stop.

The lanes weren't too crowded, after all, there weren't that many private cars back then, and traffic lights weren't nearly as strict as they are now.

Many private cars, seeing no pedestrians, simply ran the red light and sped away.

That is, the bus follows the rules a little better and waits for the red light.

Of course, this also caused the private cars behind to keep honking their horns, as if the light had already turned green.

"What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?" the bus driver said disdainfully in the local dialect, with a sarcastic tone.

Zhou Yong's family are not native Hangzhou residents. Although they bought a house here, their household registration is still in their hometown.

So although he could understand the Hangzhou dialect, he couldn't speak it very well; he just found it interesting to use the Hangzhou dialect to curse.

The insults themselves weren't actually that offensive; it was just the sarcastic tone that made the person being insulted feel really uncomfortable.

"Passengers, we have arrived at Su Causeway Station..."

Zhou Yong, who was almost asleep in his chair, suddenly woke up, then yawned and jumped off the bus.

The meeting place he arranged with Tian Tingchan this time was at Prince Bay Park.

Get off here and walk a short distance to reach the park entrance.

Prince Bay Park, which officially opened on National Day in 1989, is more simple and natural than other parks full of artificial traces. The park is built on the mountain, with almost no leveling or filling in, preserving the original appearance of the mountain to the greatest extent. Only some artificial flower beds and small amusement facilities have been added.

The main entrance to the park uses a very simple and natural stone gate, not the kind of modern electric sliding gate.

Moreover, this park is free of charge.

In other words, anyone can come and play if they want.

In 2000, West Lake was not open to the public for free. This meant that on weekends, there were more people here than there, and most of them were locals.

Of course, today is Thursday, a workday, so this place is a bit quiet.

Only a few couples taking wedding photos wandered around, searching for the best shooting location.

Zhou Yong looked around, searching for Tian Tingchan.

In the flowerbed at the entrance, yellow and red flowers are in full bloom, and several bees are buzzing among the blossoms, seemingly intoxicated by the fragrance.

Then he saw a young girl with shoulder-length hair standing quietly by the gate, gazing at the road ahead, seemingly searching for the person she was waiting for.

However, Tian Tingchan was in a very bad state that day and couldn't remember what Zhou Yong looked like at all. So whenever she saw a young man approaching, she would wonder if he was the person she was waiting for.

Standing at a distance, Zhou Yong looked at the delicate-looking girl with a hint of melancholy, and his heart began to race.

He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and finally walked up to her.

"Ahem, hi." He coughed awkwardly and greeted Tian Tingchan.

Tian Tingchan was staring blankly at a beautiful woman in a wedding dress not far away. She was clearly wearing makeup and looked as pure and flawless as an angel descended from heaven. The groom gently held her hand, and a photographer was carrying heavy equipment behind them, taking pictures.

"Ahem, Tian Tingchan?" For a moment, Zhou Yong wondered if he had mistaken the person for someone else. After all, they had only met once in real life, so it would be normal to mistake him for someone else.

"Hmm." Tian Tingchan finally came to her senses and turned her gaze to Zhou Yong. Her slightly unfocused pupils gradually regained some focus. "...Zhou Yong?"

“Yes!” Seeing that the other person seemed to be not very good at communicating, Zhou Yong quickly laughed to liven up the atmosphere—even though he himself was not good at communicating with girls.

But as a man, you have to take the initiative in situations like this...

Of course, there's another point: although Zhou Yong thought she was very pretty, he didn't have much contact with her, so he didn't like her as much as he did Mo Xueyao. In addition, when chatting on the forum, she always gave him the feeling of a sunny older brother next door, which made Zhou Yong feel more relaxed when he was with her.

After all, Zhou Yong doesn't feel embarrassed when talking to boys.

Only then did he have time to examine the clothes Tian Tingchan was wearing. Compared to Zhou Yong's casual outfit, she had clearly chosen them carefully.

There probably aren't many nice clothes for her.

After all, their living space is so small, they obviously don't have much spare money to buy clothes.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yong immediately felt so embarrassed that he scratched his cheek and turned his head away.

The sun was warm today, so Tian Tingchan was wearing a white off-shoulder lace short-sleeved top. Because the top was somewhat transparent, you could see that the camisole underneath was light pink.

Around her neck was a slightly wider black lace choker with a small brass bell in the center.

When Zhou Yong's gaze fell on her neck, she instinctively covered it with her hand, as if she were hiding something.

Her lower body was clad in a black lace skirt, the hem of which just covered her knees—a length that was neither too long nor too short—both alluring and not too revealing.

Out of the corner of Zhou Yong's eye, he also noticed that Tian Tingchan had several wounds on her wrists. Some of them had already healed, while others looked like they had been inflicted recently, as if she had been abused.

"Uh... what's wrong with your hand?" Zhou Yong asked, scratching his head.

"It broke during an experiment," Tian Tingchan replied softly.

"Oh...right, didn't you say you wanted to switch to nursing? Did you succeed?"

"There will be an exam at the end of the semester, and you can transfer after passing it." Tian Tingchan brushed her right sideburns to keep them from getting too messy in the wind.

"Keep it up!" Zhou Yong instinctively imagined patting her on the shoulder in real life, just like in the forum, but after hesitating, he awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand. "Cough, I always feel like you're my buddy, but you're completely different in real life than you are online."

“People have many facets,” Tian Tingchan replied softly, picking up a small cloth bag from the ground.

"what is this?"

“A bento box for lunch,” she replied softly.

"Wow, you're so thoughtful. Actually, I brought some money with me, so we can go out to eat later."

"Use it sparingly."
