Chapter 100 : Su Mo, She Doesn't Seem to Be a Junior
100: Su Mo, She Doesn't Seem to Be a Junior
"This Su University arts evening concludes here. Thank you all for watching~"
Approaching 9 PM.
The sunset had completely set in the west, the bright moon climbed high into the sky, signifying night's arrival.
In the auditorium of Su University's Arts Center, with Chu Tianlan holding a microphone and wearing formal dress announcing the 'arts evening' closing words.
Under the combination of everyone's applause and ending BGM, this Su University arts evening finally concluded successfully.
As the curtain completely covered the stage, if it were any other time, Chu Tianlan would definitely celebrate properly with the student council members who had worked hard these past few days.
But today was different from usual. Recalling the conversation about 'Senior Mo Mo' with Junior Yun Xia at noon, and thinking about Su Mo's possible 'scumbag woman' behavior.
At this moment, Chu Tianlan had only one thought: to quickly return to Weiyang Apartments to confirm whether her little tenant, her Teacher Su, her little junior's true identity was male or female, and whether moral education was needed!
After hastily sending a 1000 yuan thank-you red envelope in the student council's Tencent work group to thank everyone for their joint efforts, Chu Tianlan left the arts venue without even changing out of her formal dress, arriving at a pure white Porsche sports car.
Opening the trunk, after changing from small high heels to flat shoes, this white sports car quickly transformed into a streak of light, racing through Su City under the night sky.
The distance from Weiyang Apartments to Su University wasn't far. At Su Mo's walking pace it would take about 40 minutes, but with the Porsche's horsepower, it only took 5 minutes for Chu Tianlan to return to Weiyang Apartments.
Parking the car on B2, sitting in the slowly ascending elevator, perhaps affected by the centrifugal force brought by the elevator's ascent.
Watching the numbers on the elevator begin to change bit by bit, Chu Tianlan unexpectedly felt nervous, even her heartbeat quickened considerably.
Noticing this emotional fluctuation, Chu Tianlan was slightly stunned. Even when hosting the arts evening watched by thousands, she hadn't been nervous.
Why would she feel this way just taking an elevator?
Because this inexplicable nervous emotion appeared somewhat magical and sudden, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but try to interpret this nervousness in her heart.
Through calm analysis, Chu Tianlan quickly discovered the source of this nervousness actually came from Su Mo's gender.
When thinking that Su Mo's identity might be a soft and fragrant Junior Sister rather than a Junior Brother, her body and nerves instinctively began to feel excited nervousness.
Ding dong~
Just as Chu Tianlan was surprised by this discovery, before she could analyze the reason.
The elevator had already reached the 18th floor.
The reason Chu Tianlan first returned to the 18th floor instead of going directly to find Su Mo actually had reasons.
First, she needed to change from the host's formal dress into normal clothes.
Second, because she was about to visit 1603.
Since this would be a surprise inspection, Chu Tianlan decided to bring her get-out-of-jail-free card (student ID), since this would give her legitimate reason for visiting.
After determining her upcoming itinerary, Chu Tianlan took out her keys and just opened the door to Room 1802.
As the door opened, perhaps because she had been the host today, wearing a sky-blue formal dress and with exquisite makeup, Chu Tianlan looked sparkling and very beautiful.
As a naturally beautiful little loli, Ningning immediately ran over on her short legs, pattering over to hug Chu Tianlan's thigh and sweetly said.
"Auntie, you look so beautiful today!"
Hearing her little niece's soft and childish praise and compliments, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but smile. After bending down to pat Ningning's warm little head, she thought for a moment and asked.
"Our Ningning is also very beautiful today. Did such a beautiful Ningning study well with Teacher Su today?"
Originally, Chu Tianlan asked this question to make Ningning happy.
After all, elementary school curriculum for third grade and below was mostly in the form of edutainment, and listening to Su Mo's onomatopoeia lessons added much more fun. In such a learning atmosphere, Ningning would definitely be happy.
But what surprised Chu Tianlan was that, instead of Ningning responding as usual by blinking her big eyes and proudly raising her little head saying "Ningning studied well!"
Facing her question, Ningning hesitated for a while, then said.
"Ningning studied well with Big Brother Su today, but Big Brother Su's body seemed uncomfortable today. During class, his tummy kept making soft gurgling sounds. Ningning is a bit worried!"
Chu Tianlan, who was just about to change clothes, became somewhat worried upon hearing Ningning's response.
After all, Ningning had used the descriptor 'kept,' and Su Mo's normal class time was 1.5-2 hours. This wasn't a simple stomach ache issue.
Could it be enteritis or appendicitis?
Thinking of these two possibilities, Chu Tianlan quickened her pace in changing clothes.
After changing into a simple dress, she grabbed her get-out-of-jail-free card and ran toward 1603 without even removing the exquisite host makeup from her face, wearing only slippers.
Since the 18th and 16th floors were only two floors apart, it only took Chu Tianlan ten seconds to reach the familiar door of 1603.
Through the anti-peeping peephole, although she couldn't see clearly inside the room, she could still faintly make out lights on in the living room.
Seeing that weak light, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but feel relieved.
From the situation, Su Mo should be home now, hadn't reached the point of needing to go to the hospital, and should still be safe.
Gently extending her right hand, Chu Tianlan pressed the doorbell hanging on the door.
Ding dong~ Ding dong~
Hearing the doorbell sound inside the room.
After brief consideration, Chu Tianlan slightly tilted her head and gently pressed her ear against the door of 1603. The reason for this action was simple.
Chu Tianlan felt that if Su Mo really was cross-dressing, then facing her surprise inspection, to disguise his identity, Su Mo would definitely be very panicked, at least becoming flustered while hurriedly hiding girls' items, making lots of noise.
But to the listening Chu Tianlan's disappointment, one second passed with no movement inside the room.
Two seconds passed, still only the doorbell sound.
Three seconds passed, still no panicked sounds.
Facing this situation, Chu Tianlan was somewhat surprised.
Could it be that Su Mo wasn't panicked, or had he prepared for surprise inspections daily?
Just as Chu Tianlan was pondering, the doorbell she had just pressed had stopped ringing.
As the landlord of 1603, Chu Tianlan clearly knew she had set the doorbell duration to 8 seconds.
Now a full 8 seconds had passed with no movement inside the room, yet the living room lights were still on. This development surprised her.
Could Su Mo be trying to refuse her visit by pretending not to be home?
Thinking of this possibility, this time Chu Tianlan didn't press the doorbell again, but knocked on the security door while saying.
"Junior Su Mo, this is Chu Tianlan. Someone found a student ID today, I'm here to return it to you. Are you home?"
But even after changing her visiting method, Chu Tianlan had expected to see the door open.
After knocking for a full 30 seconds until her hand started hurting, the door still showed no signs of opening, and not even the slightest sound came from inside the room.
This development made Chu Tianlan feel somewhat uneasy.
Because Weiyang Apartments wasn't residential housing, the water and electricity used in the apartments were commercial rates. Looking at Su Mo's usual dress and her investigation of him, Chu Tianlan could confirm Su Mo had a thrifty nature.
Now with room lights on, and even after she mentioned 'student ID,' still no sign of Su Mo, combined with Ningning's earlier mention of Teacher Su's stomach ache.
Chu Tianlan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could something have happened to Su Mo inside the room?
Thinking of this possibility, as the landlord of 1603 with facial recognition key access, although Chu Tianlan knew barging into a tenant's room wasn't appropriate.
But with the current situation, she couldn't worry about such things.
"Ding, welcome home, master."
As the facial recognition at the door scanned Chu Tianlan's pretty face, the mechanical voice sounded.
The next second, the door to Room 1603 automatically opened.
"Junior Su Mo, excuse me."
While softly saying this, Chu Tianlan entered Room 1603.
Just upon entering, Chu Tianlan was hit with an opening thunderbolt.
At the shoe placement area in the entrance, not only were there Su Mo's male shoes, but also a pair of 8-centimeter crystal high heels sparkling with light.
This pair of crystal high heels appearing in Su Mo's home was already strange, but what shocked Chu Tianlan more was that these crystal shoes were too small, looking to be only size 35 or 36, so petite they looked like toys.
Looking at these small crystal shoes, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but wonder: whose were they?
But the answer to this question was automatically ignored by Chu Tianlan the next second.
After all, now that she was inside Su Mo's home, she just needed to find the person in question to ask, and the answer would be crystal clear.
Gently taking off her shoes, Chu Tianlan slowly searched for room owner Su Mo in the fragrant Room 1603.
"Junior Su Mo, Junior Su Mo?"
As a single-person apartment, Room 1603 wasn't large. With just one sweep, Chu Tianlan discovered the open kitchen and living room had no sign of Su Mo.
Could he be sleeping in the bedroom?
After this, Chu Tianlan headed toward the bedroom, but to her disappointment, although the bedroom lights were on, there was still no sign of Su Mo.
In Room 1603, she had searched the kitchen, living room, and bedroom, leaving only one final option—the bathroom.
But logically speaking, if he were showering in the bathroom, there should be water sounds. How could Su Mo possibly be in the bath...
Chu Tianlan's thought of 'bathroom' hadn't finished forming.
After pushing open the bathroom door, her thoughts began to become chaotic.
Why was Junior Su Mo lying on the ground with blood faintly flowing beneath him?
Where had he fallen and hurt himself?
No wait, wait, in this situation, Su Mo he... no... she... didn't seem to be a Junior Brother!!!
