A Young Woman's Heart

She looked down at the world from high above, hoping that the world would be restored to its original state before she woke up.

In her dreams, she is omnipotent.

The world indeed returned to its original state as she wished.

The Earth was getting farther and farther away from her, as if she were about to ascend, and she fell into a state of ethereal tranquility.

If the real world is also a larger dream, then in ancient times, were there really people who ascended to heaven?

Is the so-called ascension simply realizing that this is a dream, and then waking up?

It's not enough to just talk about it; it has to be a sudden flash of inspiration.

Mo Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, she had finally escaped this strange and bizarre dream.

She opened her eyes and saw a sun that was no longer so scorching high in the sky.

Her sense of time was so confused that she couldn't immediately tell whether it was morning or afternoon.

My thighs are still tingly and numb, and I can't muster any strength.

Mo Xueyao struggled to sit up and took a closer look, then she understood the reason.

Hua Yinyin always sleeps with her head on her thigh, so of course her legs would go numb.

"Move aside, move aside..." Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes. "My legs are aching from using this as a pillow."

"Mmm... Don't worry, little Yaoyao, I'm here..." Hua Yinyin mumbled incoherently, seemingly having some kind of dream.

Anyway, her drool had already soaked Mo Xueyao's leg.

"You're awake? I was about to wake you up if you hadn't woken up yet," Wang Qianyu said with a light laugh. "Alright, alright, if you want to do something else, go ahead and do it. There are fewer people now. Around 5 pm, a lot of people will go to eat, and it won't get crowded again until evening."

"Phew, I don't really want to play anymore." Mo Xueyao couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw the group of children running around and playing.

The main reason was that the dream left a very deep impression on her, filled with a strange and intriguing feeling.

"You stole my toy, believe me or not I'll beat you to death!" A boy who looked like he had just started elementary school shouted fiercely at a little girl.

"Hey, no, you have to give way to the girls, you know?"

"Waaah—" It turned out that the little boy was the one who started crying first.

Mo Xueyao helplessly covered her forehead: "Is it a problem with the parents' education, or is it that human nature is inherently evil?"

"I think it's an educational issue," Qiu Yi replied, clearly having also witnessed what had just happened.

“Of course it’s an education problem, but this just proves that human nature is inherently evil.” Wang Qianyu stretched and prepared to return the parasol. Mo Xueyao suddenly wondered if she would ask for her deposit back when returning the parasol.

Uh... even if I have money, I shouldn't spend it recklessly, right?

So you should be able to get your deposit back.

Because her thoughts had wandered off course, Mo Xueyao didn't even ask Wang Qianyu why.

“Let’s try rafting,” Mr. Xue suggested.

"Hmm... never mind." Mo Xueyao really didn't want to go near the group of children lining up. She rubbed her sore thighs. "Shouldn't we be heading back soon?"

"Okay, let's go back~" Wang Jiale hadn't fallen asleep, so she rested for a while and played various games with Lu Bolun. She was having a great time.

Li Wanyan wasn't particularly interested in what games to play, so she didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction even though she stayed here with Mo Xueyao and Hua Yinyin.

—Actually, if she really wanted to go out and have fun, she could have asked Wang Qianyu to look after her while she went to play, so she really wasn't interested.

"Okay—then, let's go home!" Qiu Yi stretched and announced loudly.

“Actually, this beach is more interesting at night. All the neon lights will come on. Should we go back tonight?” Wang Qianyu suddenly asked.

"Then it depends on everyone's opinion." Qiu Yi looked around.

The students looked at each other, seemingly without much thought.

Should we go home in the afternoon, or enjoy the lively beach night view before leaving?

Chapter Fifty-Three: Jade Feet Stepping on Face

On the third floor of the villa, in the master bedroom of Ye Wen and Qiu Yi.

The torrential rain outside the window washed over the entire sky, and the pitch-black night still shrouded the world—even though it was already seven in the morning, there was still no sign of dawn.

On the large bed that could comfortably accommodate five people, Ye Wen lay sideways, her delicate foot resting on Qiu Yi's face.

The latter was fast asleep, her little feet covered in drool, and she would occasionally smack her lips, probably dreaming of something delicious.

"Eek—ya—!" Just a second before the alarm clock was about to ring, Ye Wen suddenly opened her eyes, and the instant the alarm clock actually rang, she slapped it down.

However, this rather large movement resulted in her foot being directly inserted into Qiu Yi's mouth.

"Ah—" Qiu Yi seemed to be breathing through his mouth, and when his mouth was suddenly blocked, he couldn't breathe and immediately started coughing violently, "Cough cough cough, cough cough cough! Ugh, damn it, you shoved your foot in my mouth!"

"What? You liked it so much, didn't you?" Ye Wen glanced at him sideways. "At first, you even touched my thigh every night while sleeping!"

"Tsk, that was a long time ago."

"Oh, you get tired of it after a while?" Ye Wen grabbed Qiu Yi's soft flesh and twisted it hard.

"Awooo!" Qiu Yi let out a scream like Tom from Tom and Jerry, as if his toes had been caught in ten mousetraps.

"What are you yelling about? It'll be bad if the students hear you." Ye Wen rolled her eyes at him, sat up in bed, and yawned widely.

Did Mom and Dad leave today?

"Yes, I need to fly to Japan to discuss business."

"Phew..." Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Why are you so disgusted?" Ye Wen pressed her face against his cheek with a half-smile and asked coquettishly.

"No, no," Qiu Yi quickly shook her head. "It's just that the students are all here, and they might disturb the two elders."

"Tsk tsk." Ye Wen clicked her tongue. "So you feel like you've lost face, huh? Pfft, there's nothing to be embarrassed about about being afraid of your father-in-law or anything like that."

"That's not what I meant."

"Tch, don't I know you?" Ye Wen bit his ear, eliciting another scream.

Then, the two tidied up their bedding and prepared to get up.

Ye Wen stood in front of the washbasin, carefully wiping her face, while Qiu Yi hugged her from behind.

"What's wrong? Are you being coquettish?" Ye Wen said irritably.

Qiu Yi chuckled and rested his chin on Ye Wen's shoulder, who was noticeably shorter than him: "Hey, can't I look at my own wife?"

"What old hag? I haven't even married you, you idiot, yet."

"Then who else could you choose besides me?"

"Oh, you think you're so great?"

"That's not what I meant..." Qiu Yi coughed awkwardly, "Besides me, is there anyone else who loves you this much?"

"Tch, how did you know I didn't?" Ye Wen twisted her body. "Well, Qiu Yi, you were secretly hugging me and doing something naughty, weren't you?"

"Well, for men, this is quite normal in the morning..."

"If you move again, believe me, I'll have Taiyin cut your thing off."

"Cough cough!"

Ye Wen washed her face and walked out of the bathroom: "I'm going downstairs first. You can come down by yourself after you've finished washing up."

"Oh!" Qiu Yi replied energetically, then squatted on the toilet, clutching her stomach.

"Taking a dump so early in the morning?"

"No way?" Qiu Yi asked back.

"nausea."

"Damn, it's not like you don't poop."

"Can't you be a little more polite?" Ye Wen rolled her eyes and pushed open the door to leave.

In a villa during a downpour, it's always a little later to get up.

After all, the moment you open your eyes and find it's still pitch black outside, you can't help but want to crawl back into bed.

Ye Banxia and Qiu Yuanling were sitting on the sofa downstairs, casually leaning against each other and flipping through a novel they had found in the study.

"You're here so early today?" Ye Wen greeted them.

"Good morning, Wen. I went to bed early yesterday, and couldn't fall asleep at five o'clock this morning." Aya Akimoto closed the book. "Phew, it's not as good as I imagined."

"what?"

“The Sherlock Holmes Collection.” Aya Akimoto pointed to the cover of the book.

"Oh...you have to see the original version to understand it; the translation isn't quite accurate or elegant enough." Ye Wen said, walking over to Ye Banxia's side, patting her pigtails, and asking with a smile, "What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed?"

"Huh? Uh..." Ye Banxia was startled, only then realizing that Ye Wen was already standing beside her. "Ye... Teacher!"

"You're 'Teacher Ye' too," Ye Wen teased her, glancing at her book cover. "Oh~ this book, um, it's a very open love story. I didn't expect you to find it."

Ye Banxia's face turned even redder, and the pimples on her face looked like they were about to burst.

The rain stopped after a short while, but started again a little while later.

This could be considered a shower.

This kind of weather is obviously not suitable for going to the beach.

Who knows, it might suddenly start pouring rain while we're playing?

One by one, students came downstairs. The last to come were Gao Yuan and Lü Bolun. No one knew what the two of them had been up to last night. They came down the stairs with dark circles under their eyes, and it was already noon.

They missed breakfast, but managed to make it to lunch.

"What did you two do last night?" Ye Wen asked, surprised and curious. "You seem quite listless."
