Chapter 49 : Junior Su Mo, He Really Smells So Good~
49: Junior Su Mo, He Really Smells So Good~
"Teacher Su, you smell so good!"
As soon as Chu Tianlan walked into the study, she heard this crisp declaration from her niece Ningning, who was clinging to Su Mo's body. On the other side, Chenchen was also eager to be held by Su Mo but was too shy to ask.
Looking at the current development, Chu Tianlan was somewhat puzzled for a moment.
Emmmmmmmm It had only been one day since they last met, how come these two little ones looked at Junior Su Mo like cats that had seen catnip, becoming even more clingy.
If her daughter-obsessed brother saw this scene, he would definitely explode!
"Ningning, let's study first, okay? We can play after we finish studying!"
Gently reaching out to lift her up, Chu Tianlan picked up the little dumpling niece from Su Mo's arms and placed her back in her seat, then lightly tapped her little head as a warning before turning her gaze to Su Mo, who was also looking over.
Today in Suzhou, the sky was cloudless, and the June weather already had the sweltering heat of summer, with temperatures approaching 35°C.
The boys on the street were uniformly wearing short sleeves and shorts, while the girls wore cool dresses or ultra-short pants. Even the conservative Chu Tianlan had changed into a light green fitted dress today due to the heat.
But in such a sweltering environment, Su Mo was still wearing the same long-sleeved jacket as yesterday, which surprised and puzzled Chu Tianlan.
What made Chu Tianlan feel even stranger was that although Su Mo's outfit today seemed like a mirror image of yesterday's, today he looked softer somehow, as if he were a cute plush doll that made people want to hold him in their arms or be held by him.
Feeling that her own body was actually having the same thought as Ningning, the usually disciplined Chu Tianlan found it somewhat incredible.
Emmmmmmmm This Junior Su Mo seemed to have subtly changed in some way.
But she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was for the moment.
Being scrutinized by Chu Tianlan, Su Mo saw those bright almond-shaped eyes constantly looking at him, occasionally showing confusion. To avoid being discovered, the somewhat guilty Su Mo waved his hand in front of her eyes and tentatively spoke.
"President Chu, shall we start studying now?"
Watching Su Mo's tender white little hand pass before her eyes, Chu Tianlan came back to her senses and finally noticed where that sense of discord appeared.
It turned out to be Su Mo's skin. Looking at Su Mo's smooth little hand with skin like congealed fat, Chu Tianlan actually felt an impulse to grab and hold it.
But feeling the gazes of the two little ones on her left and right, this thought was quickly dismissed by Chu Tianlan.
As an aunt, how could she do something that would corrupt the children?
This kind of thing should wait until after the tutoring session!
Lightly nodding in agreement, smelling that unknown fragrance, to avoid evil thoughts arising again, Chu Tianlan chose to leave the study after this.
With Chu Tianlan's departure, the tutoring session that had experienced various small episodes finally got on track.
In the study filled with many books, Su Mo's voice soon rang out, imitating the cute and mischievous voice lines of female characters from Genshin Impact.
Perhaps due to the fragrant effect brought by 'Flower God's Pity', the two little ones listened more attentively today than yesterday, and even caused much less mischief.
As soon as Chu Tianlan came out of the study, she saw her parents crouched by the study door like secret agents, one on each side, and was immediately pulled over.
"Lanlan, this classmate of yours seems to have real skills. He can even do voice mimicry and subdue these two little devils. Look, they're actually studying now. I think he's better than those elite teachers your brother found."
Hearing her father mention elite teachers, Chu Tianlan felt somewhat speechless.
Those so-called elite teachers would immediately instill values in Ningning and Chenchen, saying things like "children won't play with you if you don't study hard" and "you won't find work if you don't study"—basically brainwashing them with achievement-only thinking.
Although many parents nowadays like this approach and it can improve children's academic performance, such values are really harmful to children.
Compared to Ningning and Chenchen who were now happily studying with Su Mo, Chu Tianlan didn't want to see the two little ones looking dejected and having lost their dreams again.
Hearing Father Chu mention the elite teacher who made Ningning cry months ago, Mother Chu directly gave him an elbow strike, then pulled Chu Tianlan over and said.
"Why bring up that killjoy? By the way, Lanlan, are you familiar with this tutoring classmate of yours? Can you ask him later what perfume he's wearing? I'd like to buy the same one."
Hearing her mother's words, Chu Tianlan recalled the faint fragrance that came when Su Mo waved his hand earlier. It did smell quite nice. Thinking of her family's perfume business, she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
As a junior finance major, Chu Tianlan studied English every night.
After all, English certificates were essential for finance students.
Originally, during this time period every day, to avoid the two little ones disturbing her studies, Chu Tianlan would return to her own room to study.
But today, seeing Su Mo coax the two little ones to be well-behaved, thinking of her mother's request, plus her good impression of Su Mo.
After brief consideration, Chu Tianlan directly brought her exam materials to the study as well.
She sat behind Su Mo and the two little ones, listening to Su Mo use a voice full of two-dimensional feminine tones to vividly tell the little stories in the textbooks, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from his body in the study.
Usually, Chu Tianlan, like most Chinese university students, deeply detested English as a foreign language. After studying for a while, she would feel uncomfortable all over as if ants were crawling on her, and her heart would be restless with the illusion of wanting to destroy something.
But now, opening her textbook and listening to Su Mo's voice while smelling that fragrance in the study, Chu Tianlan surprisingly found her mood unexpectedly calm, and her efficiency had improved a lot.
The practice test that usually took her over two hours to complete was finished in just an hour and a half today, and the accuracy rate was quite high.
After grading her own paper, Chu Tianlan felt a surge of joy. She hadn't expected this cute Junior Su Mo to have the miraculous effect of calming the mind.
In her delight, seeing Su Mo who had been teaching for over an hour, the caring big sister Chu Tianlan went to the kitchen to pour Su Mo a glass of orange juice and brought a clean handkerchief.
"Junior Su, you've been teaching for over an hour. Have some fruit juice and take a break."
"Do you two want some?"
Looking at the gentle big sister Chu Tianlan offering orange juice and a handkerchief, the parched Su Mo felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although she had never worked as a tutor at other people's homes, she could be certain that employers as easy-going as Chu Tianlan were really rare!
Gulp, gulp, gulp~
Perhaps she was really thirsty, or perhaps the orange juice at Chu Tianlan's house was really high-quality.
After Su Mo took a sip, she simply couldn't stop and began tilting her head back to drink.
Chu Tianlan found Su Mo's eager appearance somewhat cute. If he was really this thirsty, why didn't he say something earlier?
Just as Chu Tianlan was about to speak, telling Su Mo to drink slowly as there was plenty more orange juice.
As the transparent glass with orange juice gradually emptied, looking through the glass, she was surprised to discover that after being moistened by the orange juice, Junior Su Mo's lips actually showed an alluring crimson that made one want to taste them.
And within that crimson, his small white teeth were so neat, and the pink tenderness within those small white teeth looked so fragrant and soft that one really wanted to have a taste.
Yes, it would be best to hold the soft and cuddly Junior Su Mo in her arms and taste him!
"Auntie~ Auntie~ Ningning spilled her drink on the floor."
Just as Chu Tianlan's mind was forming an inappropriate thought, a childish voice suddenly broke her reverie.
Coming back to her senses, Chu Tianlan saw that the orange juice she had brought had overflowed from Ningning's cup, soaking a large area of the floor.
Looking at most of the cup of orange juice spilled on the floor, Chu Tianlan felt completely out of sorts at that moment.
Emmmmmmm What exactly was I just thinking?
Su Mo is a junior with a girlfriend!
How could I, how could I have such filthy thoughts?
Chu Tianlan, snap out of it, you just think of him as a little brother!
"President Chu, are you alright?"
Unaware of Chu Tianlan's thoughts, Su Mo hadn't noticed that under the effect of the orange juice, most of the lip balm on her lips had been washed away.
She only noticed that unlike her usual composed self, Chu Tianlan was now frozen in place.
Because Chu Tianlan's behavior was too out of character, out of concern and with the mindset of cleaning up, Su Mo walked in front of Chu Tianlan, and along with Su Mo came that faint fragrance from his body.
Feeling a refreshing fragrance rush into her nostrils.
The moral resolve that Chu Tianlan had just stabilized suddenly shattered.
At this moment, in her mind, there was only one thought left—Junior Su Mo, he really smells so good.
