A Young Woman's Heart

"So, you're really naive, Xiaoyao." Li Wanyan smiled slightly.

"No, no, no, just hearing that word gives me goosebumps." Mo Xueyao waved her hand and let out a long sigh, "Ah—we've finally reached the top of the mountain!"

On the mountaintop, the students had been training for a while and were now sitting on the ground resting, waiting for breakfast, which was to begin in twenty minutes.

Today is Thursday, which is actually the last day of military training.

Because the results of the military training will be reviewed on Friday.

To be honest, five days is not enough for military training. It would be more appropriate to call it an experiential military training rather than a full-fledged military training.

After the inspection tomorrow, the students will have about half a day to pack their luggage or take a shower, and then the bus will come back here to pick them all up and take them back to school.

As the time drew to a close, everyone felt a little reluctant to leave.

Although it was only a few days, it was a fulfilling memory.

Just a few nights spent at the hotel are enough to make one reminisce about it even after growing up.

So Mo Xueyao put in extra effort today, taking the military training very seriously. Even though the weather wasn't hot, her camouflage uniform was soaked with sweat.

The breakfast time seemed to fly by, and it was already noon.

The atmosphere was at its most enthusiastic when the students sang military songs today.

They changed from their previous reluctance; even if they sang off-key, they all tried their best to make their voices heard.

Although from a distance it sounds like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Then, as before, we went into the cafeteria, sat down, and waited for our meal to be served.

The teachers and instructors would wait for the students to finish eating before eating together at another round table.

The teachers sat at one table, and the instructors sat at another.

The dishes served to teachers/instructors and students are different.

The students' meals were fast food, while the teachers' and instructors' meals consisted of plates of stir-fries.

But that doesn't mean that stir-frying is always good.

For example, today's meal is all vegetarian, without a single trace of meat.

Yes, not even minced meat is present.

"Damn it! This is all vegetables, what the hell are we supposed to eat?!" Huang Gou slammed his fist on the table, throwing a tantrum. "What's going on? They won't even give us any meat?"

"Huang Gou, watch your image." Battalion Commander Tian glared at him. "We're eating vegetables because the meat was all given to the students. We'll have something better to eat tonight."

"It wouldn't make much difference if we shared a little bit," Huang Gou said disdainfully to Battalion Commander Tian. "Commander, is it because you pay for our food that you didn't prepare any meat dishes to save money?"

"What are you talking about? Do I look like such a stingy person?"

"It's so similar, so very similar." Huang Gou nodded vigorously. "They even smoke our cigarettes, and they're not stingy at all."

"Hey kid, that's enough. Stop throwing a tantrum and eat properly. The students aren't talking while they're eating, so why are you, their instructor, still nagging?"

"I'm not a monk, I feel uncomfortable just looking at this dish without meat, damn it..." Although he said that, Huang Gou still angrily finished his meal.

Everyone exchanged helpless smiles, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It was clear that although Huang Gou was indeed unhappy, his angry appearance was just an act to make a joke.

This isn't the military, so there's no need to be too strict about rules. Otherwise, just showing disrespect to your superiors would be punishable.

After leaving the cafeteria, Huang Gou immediately went into the convenience store.

There were still quite a few boys from Class Two in the convenience store who hadn't left. When they saw Huang Gou, they all called out to him with great enthusiasm.

"Instructor, you're here to buy food too!"

"Yeah, that damn battalion commander won't give me any meat." Huang Gou wiped the vegetable leaves from the corner of his mouth. "Boss, give me a country bumpkin chicken leg!"

Huang Gou, who had bought chicken legs, squatted by the roadside and started eating them, looking as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

However, he had just finished eating...

Even Battalion Commander Tian couldn't help but chuckle: "This kid, is it really that serious? It's just one meal without meat."

"After all, you get hungry if you don't have meat for a meal," someone defended Huang Gou.

Some people followed his example and ran into the convenience store to buy a chicken leg, then squatted down by the roadside with him and started eating it.

Three or four instructors were squatting in a row, eating chicken legs. This strange sight immediately attracted a lot of students to watch.

Kind students bought them drinks and water, but they refused to accept them.

"Come on, don't buy us anything, we're not short of money." Huang Gou waved his hand.

"Instructor, want a cigarette? Zhonghua." At that moment, Gao Yuan mysteriously approached and handed him an unopened box of Zhonghua cigarettes.

"Damn, where did you get those cigarettes, kid?"

“From my dad’s place, hehe.”

"You still smoke? You're underage and you still dare to smoke?"

"No, no, it's just something I brought to prepare for the instructor—if the instructor is bad, then forget it."

"Oh, so you mean I'm a good instructor?"

"Absolutely."

"Looks like I can't refuse this cigarette." Huang Gou was saying this when he saw the battalion commander turn around and immediately push the cigarette back. "Cough! Do you think I'm that kind of person? You should just take this home yourself!"

Then, pretending to be nonchalant, he whispered in a voice only Gao Yuan could hear, "Give it to me secretly later."

……

Chapter Sixty-Six Barbecue Party

Dusk fell.

Today's military training ended a little later than usual.

Everyone was dismissed at 5:40.

Instead of having dinner immediately, the students were asked to return to their dormitories to shower and rest, and then gather again at 7:30 for the barbecue party that evening.

"The barbecue party is coming up soon! My stomach is already growling!" Wang Jiale shouted excitedly, then looked at Li Wanyan, "Class monitor, do we still have to wear camouflage uniforms later?"

"No need, just wear your own clothes." The class monitor took out a clean school uniform from his bag, planning to change into it after taking a shower.

"Hmph, I had foresight! I prepared an evening gown!" Hua Yinyin proudly took out a black dress, which was not only off-the-shoulder but also backless.

For the conservative older generation, it is definitely unacceptable for students to wear such clothes.

Because it's too 'revealing'.

"Little Yaoyao! Shall we take a bath together today? I haven't bathed in days!" Hua Yinyin folded her evening dress and called out cheerfully to Mo Xueyao.

"Xiaoyao is taking a bath with us today!" Mo Xiaoxiao hugged Mo Xueyao's arm even faster than Hua Yinyin. "How about it, Xiaoyao, why don't you take a bath with us sisters?"

"Can't I just wash by myself...?"

"That's such a waste of time, and it's more fun to do it together!"

And so, unable to resist, or perhaps with a hint of anticipation, Mo Xueyao was dragged into the bathroom, half-heartedly.

Mo Zhuyou had already filled the bathtub with warm water and even added a little salt.

"Where did the salt come from...?" Mo Xueyao asked blankly.

"I bought it from the convenience store. Foreigners always use bath salts when they take a bath, but they don't have any here, so I just bought a bag of salt from the convenience store to make do." Mo Zhuyou answered as she took off her clothes and comfortably lay down in the bathtub.

"Um... I'll take a shower..." Mo Xueyao said softly as she walked into the shower room next door.

"No need, no need~ Let's all soak together." Mo Xiaoxiao grabbed Mo Xueyao's wrist.

"The bathtub isn't big enough..."

"It's still manageable if we squeeze in!" Mo Xiao said with a smile, and then took off her camouflage uniform and threw it aside.

She was wearing a pure black bra underneath, and it seemed a bit too small, so much so that it squeezed her flesh together.

It felt like the straps might snap at any moment.

Mo Xueyao thought about how she had been in military training all day, sometimes even doing exercises like frog jumps, and felt immense admiration for the bra she was wearing. It was truly a lot of work for it…

Only when she thought of this did she suddenly come to her senses and realize that she shouldn't have been staring at the girl's chest, so she quickly turned around and looked at the misty, snow-white wall.

Snow white...

This made her start to make those connections again.

"Isn't Haruka going to take off her clothes?"

"Hmm..." Mo Xueyao awkwardly turned her back to them and took off her clothes, completely unable to understand why the girls all liked to take a bath with her.

Is it because they think this will enhance their relationship?

“Xiao Yao is a white tiger~” Mo Xiaoxiao chuckled, her two dimples sinking deeper.

Why does everyone say this?

Mo Xueyao rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sat down in the bathtub.

The bathtub is for two people.

Although three people can sit comfortably, it would become extremely crowded.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together.

Slippery and creamy white...

Scrubbing each other's skin seems to be the most popular thing for girls to do when they shower together.

Even Mo Xiaoxiao, who usually seems serious, is like this.

Moreover, it seems that such physical contact makes them all feel very happy.

"Ah, my sister's has grown bigger! Why is mine still so small! I seriously suspect that my sister has taken away the part that belongs to me!" Mo Zhuyou hugged Mo Xiaoxiao from behind and shouted indignantly.

Actually, hers wasn't that small either, but it paled in comparison to Mo Xiaoxiao's.
