Chapter 73 : A Strange Switch
73: A Strange Switch
The ancients often said: "Gentle countryside, hero's grave." The meaning is roughly that if one becomes too immersed in beauty, they will lose their fighting spirit, forget their original intentions, and even step into the grave.
Regarding this classic saying, Su Mo, who was still single just a few days ago, couldn't understand the meaning of this ancient phrase at all.
But just now, she truly experienced it firsthand.
However, unlike the general description of males having their minds sink into the gentle countryside and slowly walking toward the grave, Su Mo almost directly entered the grave in a physical sense.
Thump thump thump~ thump thump thump~
Wave after wave of rapid heartbeats echoed in her chest.
Perhaps the experience just now was too complex—being teased by Lin Muyao on her upper body, ambushed by An Xiaoqian on her lower body, and most importantly, facing nearly a thousand livestream viewers and Lin Muyao, unable to be exposed whether above or below—this triple buff stacking stimulation was really too intense.
Su Mo felt that this heartbeat amplitude was countless times stronger than ever before.
Listening to the thunder-like trembling heartbeats that occupied all her hearing.
Lying powerlessly on the kotatsu due to her rapid heartbeat, only able to breathe heavily by instinct, Su Mo's thoughts were very complex at this moment.
As someone who was still a real boy just a few days ago, although she had always been physically weak since childhood, this didn't affect Su Mo having the heart of a tough guy.
In Su Mo's tough guy understanding of male-female relationships, boys should take the dominant position, occasionally teasing girls, even with some lewd pranks, finally making girls show cute "eeh eeh eeh" or even "hehe hehe" expressions.
But reality was not exactly the same as her expectations—it could be said to be completely unrelated.
She, who should have occupied the dominant position, was now being bullied by two beautiful girls until she trembled all over, panting heavily and lying powerlessly on the kotatsu. This huge contrast... this reversal of positions made Su Mo unable to accept it.
What made Su Mo even more unable to accept was that the scene of her being teased just now—no, the scene of her lying embarrassingly in front of the kotatsu—was also shamefully recorded in the livestream.
Although she hadn't said her name, which was fortunate in the misfortune, thinking that from the livestream viewers' perspective, she was bullied by Lin Muyao until she lay on the table, Su Mo still felt ashamed to death.
Perhaps this shame was too intense, or perhaps An Xiaoqian under the table or Lin Muyao on the table had stopped their attacks. As time passed, Su Mo's heartbeat gradually began to return to normal.
"Hu... husband, sor... sorry, I shouldn't have teased you just now. Um, now the livestream room is suspended, you can relax a bit. Do you want to drink some orange juice first?"
As her heartbeat and consciousness gradually returned to normal and her hearing recovered, Su Mo heard Lin Muyao's concerned girlish voice by her ear.
Hearing this girlish voice carry some self-blame, and the words full of guilt, feeling the other's soft little hand gently stroking her back, trying to make her more comfortable.
At this moment, Su Mo's feelings were somewhat complex.
Logically speaking, facing Lin Muyao who had pranked her in front of the livestream, she should be angry.
After all, if Lin Muyao hadn't played pranks, she wouldn't have been ambushed by An Xiaoqian and ended up collapsed on the table.
But as someone who had just personally experienced it, Su Mo also knew that compared to Lin Muyao's pranking, the main culprit that made her heart beat faster was mainly the evil loli An Xiaoqian's white-stockinged little feet across the kotatsu.
Recalling that tingling sensation from the white-stockinged little feet's touch, Su Mo silently clenched her pink little fists.
Hard, hard—her fists were hard!
Once the Hiiragi Utena outfit finished charging, next time, she must learn her lesson and severely discipline this black-hearted loli senior, giving her hints so she wouldn't dare bully her again!!!
After silently making this decision in her heart, as a former boy, following the principle of targeting the right person for revenge, facing Lin Muyao beside her who admitted her mistake but didn't know the truth, Su Mo ultimately couldn't bear to blame her and shook her head saying:
"I was just too nervous just now. It's not your fault. But I just heard the livestream was shut down—is that okay?"
Looking at Su Mo, who had just been teased by her, breathing rapidly from stimulation with a faint pink hue at the corners of her eyes, not only not blaming her but also worrying about her livestream issue, Lin Muyao felt warmth in her heart.
But thinking that the livestream room wasn't closed by her initiative, but was banned because her husband performed too cutely, a trace of guilt flashed across her pretty face. After thinking for a moment, she changed the subject:
"Husband, although the livestream content just now wasn't quite like the script, the goal was achieved anyway. Now let's eat cake!"
As Lin Muyao's statement was made, An Xiaoqian, who had been sitting silently across the table, appropriately showed her presence.
"Finally we can eat cake, yay!"
Hearing An Xiaoqian's adorable loli voice, Lin Muyao was slightly stunned.
Because just now, she had put her whole heart on Su Mo, forgetting loyalty for beauty, even momentarily forgetting that her best friend was still sitting across the table.
Thinking that she had ignored An Xiaoqian for over 30 minutes just now, and that her teasing of Su Mo had been completely seen by her, a trace of ashamed blush flashed across Lin Muyao's fair pretty face.
Regarding Lin Muyao's current thoughts, if the person involved, Su Mo, knew about them, she would definitely protest strongly, because during this half hour, An Xiaoqian hadn't done nothing—she had participated quite well!
As the livestream had just ended, and now Lin Muyao, as the birthday girl, announced eating cake.
This birthday party finally officially began.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Led by An Xiaoqian, the three of them sang a little birthday song, put a small birthday crown on Lin Muyao's head, blew out candles and made wishes, then officially began eating the birthday feast.
Due to guilt, Lin Muyao first cut a large piece of cake for Su Mo, then cut a piece for An Xiaoqian.
Unlike when boys celebrate birthdays and buy "perfunctory" birthday cakes that leave cream stains on lips that can't be washed off and seriously discolor.
The birthday cake Lin Muyao bought was the kind that looked very high-end at first glance, with fruit layers inside when cut open.
Perhaps because she had become a girl, or perhaps because what just happened was too shameful and she urgently needed to eat some sweets to ease her mood.
Originally, Su Mo wasn't interested in cakes, these delicate foods that girls love to eat, but now receiving a large piece of soft cake decorated with a huge cream rabbit.
Su Mo found that she quite wanted to eat it.
Feeling An Xiaoqian's white-stockinged little feet under the kotatsu occasionally harassing her, recalling the evil things she had done just now.
Ahm~
Su Mo opened her crimson lips, revealing neat little white teeth and two small canine teeth, fiercely treating it as An Xiaoqian and took a big bite. Feeling it wasn't enough to vent her anger, she took another big bite~
Lin Muyao watched Su Mo sitting beside her taking big bite after big bite of cake, looking like she was still angry with no intention of speaking.
Looking at her usually lively best friend, who was now also happily eating cake, unexpectedly quiet.
Feeling the atmosphere in Room 1103 starting to become cold, Lin Muyao thought for a moment and came up with an interesting way to ease the atmosphere, then suggested:
"Hu... husband, do you remember the good news I told you when you came in just now?"
Su Mo, who was angrily eating cake while looking at the evil black-hearted loli senior showing a mischievous little devil smile at the corner of her mouth.
Hearing Lin Muyao's words, she was slightly stunned. It seemed there was such a thing—after the livestream farce just now, she had forgotten about it.
But what good news could there be?
Facing Su Mo's confused little eyes, Lin Muyao didn't keep her in suspense. A trace of pride flashed across her absolutely beautiful face as she said:
"Hu... Husband, do you remember the day before yesterday when you accompanied me to the film crew for shooting?"
Hearing that even after the livestream ended, Lin Muyao still used the "husband" address, Su Mo felt that this "contract" relationship seemed to have changed in some sense.
But she didn't object to this, because she also really liked Lin Muyao, and this feeling of being called "husband" by a beautiful girl was unexpectedly nice!
Apart from the address, hearing Lin Muyao mention the term "film crew," Su Mo's eyes lit up, because recently due to the "female-to-male crossdressing" problem, she couldn't attend school.
If she could act, she could avoid class hour penalties!
And now Lin Muyao brought up "acting"—didn't this mean there were suitable roles for her to play, so she wouldn't have to worry about failing courses?
Thinking of this situation, Su Mo excitedly swallowed the sweet and delicious cake in her mouth, turned her head excitedly to look at Lin Muyao and asked:
"Could it be that you found a film crew I can join? What kind of plot role would I play as an extra?"
Looking at Su Mo hastily swallowing cake, when she spoke, those neat little white teeth and the pink tender tongue inside, decorated with cream, overflowed with sweetness, as if carrying magic, tempting deeper exploration. Smelling the faint unique fragrance on Su Mo's body.
Lin Muyao's throat moved slightly. At this moment, she once again confirmed one thing: she really had fallen for Su Mo. If she didn't really like her, how could she have such a strong urge to kiss?
Silently clenching her fingers to keep herself rational, forcibly suppressing the desire to taste the deliciousness.
Facing Su Mo's "extra" question, Lin Muyao shook her finger and responded with a somewhat mysterious tone:
"Not an extra actor, but the fourth male lead in 'July Lies Love Song.' Director Zhang specifically requested you for an audition!"
"Fourth male lead?"
Hearing Lin Muyao's answer, Su Mo incredulously repeated it.
This wasn't Su Mo making a big fuss, but this development was indeed too incredible.
Su Mo had never been much into acting, and when she did act, it was just extra roles. Being called an obscure small actor was completely appropriate—she had no background, now no graduation or degree, and no backdoor connections.
Although the drama Lin Muyao was filming wasn't a big investment, the fourth male lead in any drama was a very scarce resource, but this fell on her?
This was too magical!
Perhaps this news was too shocking—Su Mo's little hand holding the cake inadvertently trembled.
The next second, the cream cake on the paper plate suddenly fell~
Plop~
With a crisp sound, it directly spilled onto Lin Muyao's pair of long, fair, slender legs.
Lin Muyao's pair of fair long legs were already extremely beautiful in their delicate smoothness, and now decorated with milky white cake, they emitted an even more alluring aura.
Seeing this scene of the fallen cake, Su Mo was about to apologize and pick up the cake.
But after turning to look at Lin Muyao's expression beside her, her outstretched little hand froze.
Because at this moment, Lin Muyao's crystal-white absolutely beautiful face showed an abnormal flush, her bright almond eyes also had two points of excitement-named red light as she began to stare at her hands, and even her breathing carried a trace of heat.
Noticing that this scene seemed familiar from her dreams, at this moment Su Mo froze in place!
Her dropped cake seemed to have activated some strange switch!
