A Young Woman's Heart

That's probably why she waited in line so quietly—she didn't want to attract other people's attention.

Those high-ranking officials who know her will definitely try to curry favor with this major investor when he arrives, even if she doesn't need it. They absolutely cannot pretend not to know once they discover him.

Actually, maybe this leader doesn't want to come here and be met with a cold shoulder...

Life is never all smooth sailing.

While children may seem to be confined to an ivory tower, they are actually quite free in many ways.

Hua Yinyin was suddenly surrounded by three girls and was a little overwhelmed. However, it seems that she is always the one who gets focused on in the game...

Or perhaps it's the general impression she gives that makes her a better target.

This actually shows that she is popular with people—in a sense.

After all, it was a joke, not a real 'attack'.

If we disregard Hua Yinyin's habit of touching girls' thighs and doing inappropriate things, she is actually a very cheerful girl who is also very good at enlivening the atmosphere. She has a particularly good temper, unlike the class monitor who is always serious and whose temper is sometimes unpredictable, or Wang Jiale who occasionally throws tantrums.

She never gets angry and is always laughing and joking, which makes her an easy target. But if someone really bullies her, everyone will unite to protect her.

In fact, Mo Xueyao is also a girl with a very good temper, so everyone likes her, but the two have different personalities.

Characters like Hua Yinyin always seem particularly sarcastic, while characters like Mo Xueyao are more likely to be seen as mascots.

"Haaah—! Damn it, three of them ganged up on me! I'm going to get angry!" Hua Yinyin yelled. "Wait, I'm going to get serious!"

"Then come on!" Lu Chengyuan challenged without any politeness.

"Just you wait—woof! Activating mad dog mode~!!" Hua Yinyin landed on all fours and shouted, "Prepare to die!"

Then she ran inside the ball on all fours, and her speed was even faster than that of two legs.

Moreover, it has a powerful impact.

Mo Xueyao was swept away and crashed into the fence that prevented her from entering the deep water area.

"Awoo awoo awoo~~" Hua Yinyin screamed, attacking three people all by herself, seemingly quite experienced in this kind of thing.

This amazing way of playing with the ball attracted a lot of onlookers, and Hua Yinyin seemed to have gone crazy, so she started attacking everyone else she could see.

Those tourists were all strangers!

Fortunately, bumper balls are fun because they're meant to bump into each other. It would be petty to get angry just because you were bumped.

Hua Yinyin actually enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone started bumping into her, making the entire water bumper ball area a chaotic mess, but everyone was even happier than before.

Some people even made friends because of this.

"She's too..." Lu Chengyuan couldn't speak for a long time, "...a bit too much, isn't she..."

"Tsk, although I'm reluctant to admit it, this is probably Hua Yinyin's charm, isn't it?" Mo Xueyao said with a pout.

……

Chapter 51 A World Only for Children (Part 1)

The water bumper ball game lasts for fifteen minutes at a time.

But Mo Xueyao felt as if she had played for an hour.

Actually, no one called them, but seeing that the same group of tourists had finished, everyone consciously returned to the shore.

"Ugh—I'm so tired!" Lu Chengyuan returned to the spot where Wang Qianyu had put down the parasol and lay down directly—of course, it was rented from a small shop on the beach; who would put this in a sports car for no reason?

"Come on, are you all tired of playing? This is only the first activity." Wang Qianyu walked over carrying two large bags of freshly squeezed juice. "I didn't know what flavors you wanted, so I bought one of each."

"Hmm, is the white stuff coconut juice?" Mo Xueyao asked curiously.

"Yes and no, because there is fresh milk in it."

"Fresh milk and coconut juice?" Hua Yinyin exclaimed. "I want it!"

Even though there's always an abundance of milk at home, she still has a deep love for it. What kind of spirit does that represent...?

"Orange juice~!" Wang Jiale picked up the bag of freshly squeezed orange juice. "Thank you, Teacher Qianyu~!"

"Don't be so polite, it's no fun if you're too polite." Wang Qianyu winked playfully and pinched Wang Jiale's cheek.

Lu Bolun, who was standing nearby, casually picked up a cup and patted Mr. Xue on the shoulder: "Hey, Xiao Xue, let's go rafting?"

Mr. Xue glanced at him: "The two of us?"

“The girls are all tired, who else is there besides the two of us?” Lu Bolun glanced at Mo Xueyao subconsciously, “Hmm… could it be…”

Mr. Xue didn't seem to understand what Lu Bolun meant. He simply inserted the straw into the cup, took two sips, and patted Lu Bolun's shoulder: "Teacher Qiu should be alright, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bolun subconsciously looked at Qiu Yi, who was lying motionless on the beach like a dead dog with his tongue lolling out.

The collision was too intense; he had exhausted all his strength.

In terms of endurance, this guy, who graduated many years ago, is probably not as good as the girls who exercise regularly in school.

However, Hua Yinyin wasn't much better off. Just now, this guy practically played the role of Zhao Zilong at Changban Slope, fighting a group of people all by himself, and he had already exhausted all his strength.

He was covered in sweat, but he insisted on lying on Mo Xueyao's lap and refused to move away.

There's a mobile ice cream stand not far away, and the ice cream sold there is a bit cheaper than what's sold in the shops here.

However, the store sells so-called handmade ice cream, while the ice cream tricycle sells pre-packaged ice cream.

This is also why the price is much cheaper.

"Mom, you said the ones there were expensive, so can we buy this one instead? It's only a dollar more expensive." A chubby boy pleaded, tugging at his mother's wrist. "Just buy one! What's the point of coming to the beach if we don't eat ice cream?"

"We're not starving, we just drink water when we're thirsty, why waste money?"

"But everyone else is buying them."

Just because others buy it doesn't mean you have to.

The chubby boy was speechless, so he grabbed his friend's shoulder and ran off to the side.

These two families seem to be locals from a small city, and they know how to save money, unlike tourists who tend to spend money recklessly.

"If only there were no adults in the world, we could eat ice cream whenever we wanted," the chubby boy, who looked like a primary school student, whispered to his best friend.

The latter nodded vigorously in strong agreement.

These are certainly naive ideas from children, but it is precisely because they don't know much that they can have so many wild and imaginative ideas.

After all, their imaginary world is not limited by the logic and rules of reality...

Mo Xueyao, who was lazily resting against the parasol pole, suddenly couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if there were no adults in the world, only a group of children.

Lu Bolun and Mr. Xue went rafting again. Although Wang Qianyu was not there, it was obvious that the leader-like person had memorized what the other people who came with her looked like, and must have informed his employees. Even if they couldn't recognize them, the footage could be transmitted to the leader through the surveillance cameras in front of each amusement park ride, so he could easily give instructions to the staff.

Since it's free to play, of course I should play it as many times as possible.

Although the line was long, Mr. Xue and Luberon still went back and forth three times in the end.

Normally, we wouldn't be able to have so much fun and enjoy ourselves.

Although the sun is strong at the beach, it's not so bad as long as you hide under a parasol.

The sea breeze wasn't very hot; in fact, it felt warm when you were half asleep.

When you're tired, you'll feel sleepy once the sweat dries.

Mo Xueyao also swayed and fell backward, but instead of falling on the beach, she fell into Li Wanyan's arms.

The three of them then nestled together and drifted off to sleep.

Of course, Li Wanyan did not sleep.

……

"Crack-!"

When I opened my eyes, I saw a torrential downpour.

It was as if the whole world was about to be washed over by God's spray.

Everywhere was filled with damp moisture.

This is a city on a rainy night. Although the streetlights are on, there is a sense of deathly stillness.

"Haha, hahaha! Kill him, kill him!" A chilling laugh came from the direction of the laughter, and Mo Xueyao shuddered and looked in that direction.

In the alley, three elementary school students were surrounding a thin boy, smashing bricks on his head, while another student took out a machete and dismembered him.

The cruelest part was that the boy was still alive at this point, and he only breathed his last after his head was cut off.

Mo Xueyao swallowed subconsciously, having no time to think about where she was.

She turned around and ran towards the street behind her.

Along the way, she saw one child after another, the oldest of whom looked to be no more than a sixth grader, some of whom were wearing red scarves around their necks.

These children, roaming the streets with impunity, all wore cruel, terrifying, and bloodthirsty eyes.

They didn't seem to be human at all, but rather a group of wild beasts that looked like humans.

When children, who should be pure and innocent, behave like this, it is especially chilling.

It was as if the souls of demons had been forcibly stuffed into this tiny body.

Finally, a little boy with blood flowing from his mouth spotted Mo Xueyao by the roadside. He pointed at her and shouted in his childish voice, "It's an adult! Kill her! Otherwise, she'll rule us again!"

"You can't keep killing people like this!" a little girl surrounded by them shouted.

However, the next moment, two daggers pierced her eyes, blood gushing out, and she collapsed, losing consciousness.

Children from all directions chased after them.

"Eat her flesh!"

"I love her thigh muscles!"

The roar that came out was not just 'kill her'.

Mo Xueyao felt like a cat with its fur standing on end, but she didn't know where to run.
