Chapter 86 : Chu Tianlan's Gentle Proposal~
86: Chu Tianlan's Gentle Proposal~
Su Mo had once watched an anime.
In the anime, it should have been a hot summer in a remote small town, with cicadas constantly chirping.
A young man was blissfully lying on a big sister's lap pillow, being intimately fed ice popsicles by the big sister.
Su Mo couldn't remember the name of that anime.
But perhaps because that scene was too peaceful and beautiful, or perhaps because the sister character in the anime was completely different from her own sister Su Su's style, in any case, that scene had existed in Su Mo's mind for a very long time.

Mmm~~~
Having worked all day and falling asleep after putting the two little ones to bed, Su Mo slept very soundly.
In her dream, she was in a soft field of lavender flowers, walking through the flower field while smelling the fresh and elegant lavender fragrance—the experience was truly intoxicating.
Logically speaking, in such a beautiful dream, Su Mo should have been able to sleep until she naturally woke up.
But as she walked in the dream, Su Mo saw a group of butterflies collecting nectar on the lavender, constantly fluttering toward her. The butterflies didn't bite and didn't hurt when they hit her body, but rather felt ticklish.
In her drowsiness, Su Mo felt her lips were somewhat itchy and instinctively wanted to rub them with her hand.
But when she reached out, she unexpectedly touched a warm palm.
Because this soft sensation didn't match the dream and carried real body temperature.
Su Mo instinctively opened her eyes, but the scene that appeared in reality made her slightly stunned.
At this moment, occupying her entire field of vision were two magnificent mountains full of purple charm.
Looking at those two large, round, full peaks, Su Mo's just-awakened and still confused brain couldn't immediately process what this was.
Then the next second, she saw the two mountains in front of her view move slightly forward, and then in front of those two mountains appeared Chu Tianlan's beautiful face full of gentle virtuousness.
"Junior Su Mo, you're awake?"
Hearing this voice full of gentle, mature big sister charm, smelling Chu Tianlan's unique lavender fragrance, looking at her still beautiful face from this deadly angle.
At this moment, Su Mo's head was somewhat chaotic.
It seemed like she had fallen asleep after tutoring Ningning and Chenchen's homework and telling stories?
How was the current situation that she was lying on Senior Chu Tianlan's soft thighs?
And she was looking at her so gently right now?
Uh, was she not fully awake?
This should be a dream, right? Not sure, better sleep again...
Chu Tianlan, who was holding a bottle of anti-swelling ointment and gently applying it to Su Mo's slightly swollen lips, looked at Su Mo waking up drowsily, her big peach blossom eyes becoming round from surprise, and found it very cute.
She was about to explain why this situation had occurred.
But the next second, she saw Su Mo peacefully close her eyes again, with a cute expression of "I don't believe this is real."
Seeing this scene, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but chuckle softly, and the originally accumulated emotions from today were swept away by Su Mo's cute behavior.
While chuckling, to let Su Mo know this wasn't a dream, Chu Tianlan reached out and gently pushed Su Mo's somewhat frail shoulder, reminding her:
"Junior Su Mo, wake up, this isn't a dream."
You can never wake someone who's pretending to sleep.
Su Mo had heard this from her teacher when she was little.
But little Su Mo didn't understand why someone couldn't be woken up by calling—if calling didn't work, just pinch them!
But at this moment, lying on Chu Tianlan's thighs, Su Mo truly experienced the meaning of this phrase.
Feeling Senior Chu Tianlan's gentle pushing, at this moment the pretending-to-sleep Su Mo's head was very chaotic, with many questions starting to emerge one by one, such as: why was she on her thighs, and why was she clearly lying on the desk but now sleeping on a bed, how did she move?
Because there were too many suspicious points, and having never experienced a girl's lap pillow before, Su Mo didn't know for a moment what expression to use or how to face Chu Tianlan, this gentle-as-water neighboring big sister, when she woke up.
So now Su Mo experienced for the first time being a "person who truly can't be woken up," in the true physical sense.
Leaning forward slightly to avoid the two mountains blocking her view, Chu Tianlan saw the "sleeping" Su Mo's crystal-white little face seeming to think of something, starting to show waves of cute blushes, and her neck resting on her thighs also becoming stiff.
Looking at Su Mo clearly recognizing this was reality but still unwilling to accept the situation.
Chu Tianlan's gentle pretty face showed curved almond eyes. Although this version of Su Mo was very interesting and teasing him a bit more would be fine.
But thinking of how Su Mo had already been scared like a frightened little white rabbit by her somewhat emotionally uncontrolled self at the elevator entrance just now.
If she continued teasing now, although she could see more cute expressions from Su Mo, this cute and timid younger brother would probably develop psychological trauma toward her afterward. Seeing her again, he'd probably be scared and run away, and future study tutoring couldn't continue either—calculating this way, it would be a big loss.
Thinking of this, Chu Tianlan didn't continue making Su Mo shy, but instead slowly placed her hands on Su Mo's somewhat stiff neck, gently beginning to knead and massage Su Mo while slowly speaking:
"Junior Su Mo, this morning in the elevator, seeing you and Lin Muyao's intimate behavior, I was somewhat angry. Do you know what I was angry about?"
Su Mo, who was thinking about how to wake up without embarrassment, couldn't help but fall into thought upon hearing this question.
After all, in Su Mo's view, Chu Tianlan was a gentle-as-water big sister, and she really couldn't think of a reason for her anger.
Before Su Mo could respond, Chu Tianlan's small hands moved up from Su Mo's stiff neck to massage Su Mo's head.
Unlike An Xiaoqian's massage technique full of yellow waste thoughts, Chu Tianlan's technique was very good.
Under that gentle and relaxing technique, today's tired Su Mo felt like a cat having its chin scratched by its owner—very comfortable, making her want to meow...
Feeling Su Mo being massaged, her muscles no longer tense like before, her originally nervous brows relaxing again, and cute humming sounds occasionally coming from her slightly swollen cherry lips...
Chu Tianlan was slightly glad in her heart—good thing she had learned children's massage for precious Ningning and Chenchen before, and now it came in handy.
Feeling the atmosphere in her room become more relaxed due to Su Mo's relaxation, she continued:
"The elevator is a public space with cameras. If bad people published videos of you and your 'girlfriend' being intimate, what would happen?"
Su Mo, who was being massaged very comfortably, couldn't help but blush slightly upon hearing this possibility. Indeed, Senior Chu made a very good point.
But she didn't know if it was her imagination—why did Senior Chu seem to emphasize the syllables when saying "girlfriend"?
Just as Su Mo was about to admit her mistake, she found her lips gently blocked by an index finger, then Chu Tianlan's gentle-as-water voice rang out again:
"Junior Su Mo, but this isn't the reason I was angry. The main reason I was angry is that in your relationship with Lin Muyao, you're the one being bullied!"
The one being bullied?
Hearing this topic, Su Mo couldn't help but repeat it in her heart!
After all, she really had been constantly bullied recently—first by An Xiaoqian, that evil loli, then recently Lin Muyao was added, and yesterday the two even collaborated.
Seeing Su Mo had listened and didn't show resistant or confused emotions, Chu Tianlan's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.
When you see one cockroach, it proves there are already many cockroaches in the house. Su Mo's current behavior of listening clearly showed she had been bullied by Lin Muyao quite often in private.
Thinking that her beloved cute younger brother was actually being bullied by Lin Muyao in various ways behind the scenes, Chu Tianlan felt inexplicably furious. Afraid her emotions would affect her and hurt Su Mo, Chu Tianlan quietly stopped massaging and placed a bottle of ointment in front of Su Mo's opened eyes, saying with concern:
"Junior Su Mo, this morning in the elevator you were forced into the corner by Lin Muyao, and this afternoon... I just applied medicine to your lips, otherwise tomorrow morning drinking water would definitely hurt. In one day you've been bullied twice.
Junior Su Mo, although I haven't been in love and have no romantic experience, as your senior I think you should become more aggressive. If you keep being bullied, your senior will feel heartbroken too!"
As Chu Tianlan's caring words came out, Su Mo felt her favorability toward this neighboring big sister Chu Tianlan increase even more, while her head also became dizzy.
How she got up from the warm lap pillow afterward, and how she left Room 1802, Su Mo couldn't remember clearly.
The soft and tender Su Mo with her pitiful and endearing frail aura only remembered catching one key point from Chu Tianlan's words.
I need to become more aggressive → I need to be aggressive → I need to become aggressive~
