A Young Woman's Heart

"Huh?" Mo Xueyao was startled. "What's this?"

"Hey—whoosh!" Then, the doll that had been inside the box actually climbed out on its own. She looked at Mo Xueyao with her ruby-like eyes and said, "Master, you've finally let me out!"

"Huh? You...you can move?"

"I don't know either. I wasn't supposed to move. But one day, I found myself becoming a real person, just... well, a little smaller."

Mo Xueyao rubbed her eyes hard, utterly incredulous. She couldn't help but poke Nancy's cheek, causing the latter to burst into laughter: "Ouch, Master, it tickles~"

"You're really alive."

"Mmm!" Nancy lifted her skirt and swayed it. "Master! I'm hungry!"

"Huh? You get hungry too?"

"Of course, I'm alive!"

"Hmm, okay, I'll go see what we can eat..."

"Hey, wait for me!" Nancy grabbed Mo Xueyao's hand and climbed up with difficulty, looking very affectionate. "I want to stay with Master~"

"Lying on my shoulder?"

"No need~ I can crawl into Master's pocket! Hey, Master, where's your pocket?"

"I haven't washed up or changed yet... It's cooler at home when I'm just wearing a tank top." Mo Xueyao scratched her cheek sheepishly. "Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat."

Mo Xueyao held Nancy in her hand and walked into the kitchen.

There was a pot of stir-fried rice noodles in the kitchen, which still seemed warm.

The rice cooker next to it was steaming, and it looked like it was about to overflow.

"Mom is really something, she didn't even unplug it..." Mo Xueyao quickly unplugged it with her other hand and then placed Nancy on top of the refrigerator.

"Oh dear, Master, Master, it's too high!"

Are you still afraid of heights?

"I get scared when my owner isn't around!"

"Wait a minute, I need to serve the rice noodles and porridge first..." Mo Xueyao said helplessly. After serving the breakfast, she placed it on the dining table in the living room before taking Nancy over.

"Master, how should I eat this?"

"Uh...how about some porridge first?" Mo Xueyao muttered, scooping up a spoonful of white porridge, blowing on it a few times before placing it in front of Nancy. "How is it? Is it drinkable?"

Nancy cautiously reached out and poked at the congee, bringing the slightly viscous liquid to her lips to taste it: "Hmm, it's a little hot..."

"Is it still hot?" Mo Xueyao blew on the spoon again. "How about now?"

"Okay, now you can do it!" So Nancy bent down, supported herself on the table with both hands, and stuck out her little tongue like a kitten to lick the porridge on the spoon.

Her mouth was so small that she didn't eat very fast, but after she finished eating, the spoon looked like it had been washed and was shiny.

"Want to try some dried rice noodles?" Mo Xueyao picked up another mouthful of dried rice noodles with her chopsticks, but felt they might be too long, so she picked out one strand, held it between her fingers, and let it hang down from mid-air.

"Ah—" Nancy raised her head and opened her mouth, letting the rice noodles fall into her mouth little by little, and swallowed them in one gulp, just like sucking on noodles. "Cough cough, cough cough!"

But soon, she choked.

"Are you alright?" Mo Xueyao gently patted her back with one finger and asked with concern.

"Phew... I almost choked to death..." Nancy straightened up and let out a long breath. "Thank you, Master~"

"Eat slowly, have some more porridge?"

“Okay, sure!” Nancy exclaimed excitedly.

However, in the end, she only drank three spoonfuls of porridge and seven or eight rice noodle sticks before she was full. She sat on the napkin box next to her, swaying her head leisurely as she watched Mo Xueyao eat.

Suddenly, her face flushed red as she covered her skirt: "Um... Master, I need to... go to the toilet..."

"Huh? The little one?"

"Um……"

"The toilet can flush you away, right? My head hurts, how am I supposed to go?" Mo Xueyao scratched her head, supported her armpits with two fingers, picked her up, and placed her on the flowerpot. "Why don't you just take care of it here?"

"You can, but Master absolutely cannot look!"

"I won't watch it..."

Then came a very faint sound of water.

"Master, I'm all better now!"

"Ugh." Mo Xueyao deliberately pinched her nose. "It stinks."

"It doesn't smell bad at all!!" Nancy punched Mo Xueyao's chest a few times. "Master is talking nonsense!"

"Whose urine doesn't smell bad?"

"A beautiful girl like me wouldn't smell bad."

"Hey—you're the one talking nonsense."

"I'm not lying, boo-hoo—Master is bullying me!"

"Okay, okay, just kidding, just kidding..." Mo Xueyao helplessly pinched her cheek with her fingertips and gently tugged it.

"Ouch—!" Nancy complained, showing off her two small and cute fangs, and took a bite.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Mo Xueyao felt as if she had been bitten by a rabbit.

"Hmph, Master, do you know how much it hurts now?" Nancy sat back down in Mo Xueyao's hand triumphantly.

"Don't sit here... I still need to eat breakfast."

"Hmm, then the master will have to wash the dishes later, right?"

"Ah, well, if Wanyan isn't here, I'll wash myself."

"I want to watch from the sidelines!"

So, when Mo Xueyao was washing dishes, there was a noisy little guy next to her.

She stood beside the stove, wearing a gorgeous dress, and shouted loudly, "Master, go for it! Master, go for it!"

"It's just washing dishes..." Mo Xueyao said helplessly. "Don't stand too close, or you'll fall into the basin. It's all dishwashing foam."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nancy slipped and fell into the dishwashing basin with a scream.

"Aaaaaah—Master, help!"

"It's not deep, you can stand up by yourself, right?" Mo Xueyao helped her up. "Are you alright?"

"Waaah, so dirty."

"Yes, the clothes are all dirty."

"I need to change my clothes!"

"I do have clothes, but... how are you planning to take a shower?"

"Take a shower in the bathroom!"

"I'm afraid you might accidentally fall into the toilet..."

"I'm not that stupid!" Nancy flashed her little tiger teeth again.

"Okay, okay... then I'll think of another way..."

After washing the dishes, Mo Xueyao took a basin from the bathroom, put Nancy in it, and then took out another basin, poured in half a basin of tap water, added a little more than half a basin of boiling water, stirred it, and it became warm water suitable for bathing.

Then, she shaved off a piece of soap about the size of a fingernail and handed it to Nancy to use as a bath soap.

"Are you ready? Just call out if you need water."

"Waaah, if I wash like this, my master will see everything..."

"Hey, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I look every time I change clothes. Who wants to see yours?" Mo Xueyao said irritably. "Are you going to wash or not?"

"Then, the master has to take responsibility, right?"

"Hmm, what strange things are you saying, such a tiny doll..." Mo Xueyao gently tapped her forehead, scooped up a cup of water, and slowly poured it down.

"Mmm—so good...here, here, I want it here too."

"Can't you move yourself...?"

After Nancy's entire body was soaked, she used the small bar of soap to scrub her body and hair.

It seems her hair is the hardest to clean.

She sat sideways in the basin, carefully washing her hair for a while before calling out, "Master, I need water~"

"Here it comes." Mo Xueyao poured the water down again and rinsed it several times before Nancy climbed onto Mo Xueyao's palm.

Her smooth skin was in direct contact with her palm, the sensation was somewhat subtle.

"Master, please wash my feet. They've been soaking in the bathwater and I can't get them clean."

"So I've become a bathhouse attendant, huh?" Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes, but still carefully rinsed the foam off her feet with clean water.

"Master, please help me change my clothes!"

"Why didn't you change it yourself?"

“It’s all been seen anyway…” Nancy pouted. “It’s the same whether you switch or I switch, and it’ll save me some energy if you switch…”

Mo Xueyao covered her forehead: "Lazy little rascal..."

"Tch, Master's way of changing clothes is so rough, you've hurt my skin."

"I have a feeling you've said this before."

"You didn't say that?"

"That was something we talked about some time ago..."

"Meow?" Nancy moved closer to Mo Xueyao's face and rubbed her hair against it vigorously.

"Hahaha, stop it, stop it, it's so itchy, ouch!" Mo Xueyao sneezed loudly and suddenly sat up in bed.

She stared blankly at the door for a while before muttering softly, "What? Just like last time, it was a dream..."

"Get up," Li Wanyan said softly as she pushed open the door and entered the room.
