Chapter 119 : Senior Su Mo, Shouldn't You Be in Romantic Turkey
119: Senior Su Mo, Shouldn't You Be in Romantic Turkey?
If someone you like/admire suddenly disappeared one day to study abroad, what would you do?
Regarding this topic, as a girl in her prime who had fantasized about beautiful love countless times, Yun Xia had recently looked up many posts on similar topics.
Looking at posts about couples who were inseparable when saying goodbye, gradually becoming distant due to distance, becoming polite due to distance, arguing and breaking up due to distance, and finally only being able to heal the pain of breakup through 'time.'
Yun Xia only felt waves of stabbing pain in her heart. Because... because in some sense, she and Senior Mo Mo whom she liked weren't even in a relationship yet. And after Senior Mo Mo went to 'Turkey,' Yun Xia could even feel through their 'time difference QQ' chats that Senior Mo Mo was much more distant and polite than before when chatting with her.
Discovering all these details similar to what was described in forum posts, recalling that night when Senior Mo Mo danced like a banished immortal, looking at the fragrant, incomparably beautiful Haku Yowane outfit now hanging in her home.
These past few days, Yun Xia felt she had entered a rather peculiar nightmare state.
Every time she fell asleep and entered dreams, she would dream of Senior Mo Mo, that absolutely beautiful and charming figure. And whenever she rushed toward that gorgeous fairy-like figure, she would see Senior Mo Mo become like a mirage, turning into points of starlight and dispersing, creating a bone-deep painful feeling of separation.
Because that feeling of separation was too intense, in these few days since the 'City-Toppling Dance,' Yun Xia hadn't rested well.
Last night, due to several consecutive days of insomnia, Yun Xia, who wanted to dilute her longing for Senior Mo Mo through jogging, met Lin Muyao during her night run—this gentle third-year campus belle senior who was also from Su University.
Regarding this campus belle senior Lin Muyao, because she had once investigated 'Senior Su Mo' at the suggestion of her idol senior Chu Tianlan, Yun Xia had some impression of her.
Because she knew that 'Senior Mo Mo's' boyfriend Su Mo couldn't possibly be the same person as Lin Muyao's boyfriend 'Senior Su Mo.'
Perhaps because it was their first meeting, they were similar in age, and the other party had a normal romantic relationship, Yun Xia, who really needed to confide, shared with Lin Muyao during last night's jog about her daily interactions with 'Senior Mo Mo' and the heartbreak of separation.
And Lin Muyao, who listened to Yun Xia's entire experience, gave a reasonable suggestion.
"If you really can't let go of that person, then find a second-favorite peer to fill this pain."
Because this suggestion sounded very reasonable both in theory and appearance.
So today, after another night of insomnia, Yun Xia wanted to seek comfort from her formerly most admired idol, senior Chu Tianlan.
Because she knew Chu Tianlan's student council work was busy, Yun Xia didn't choose to bother the student council during the day.
Since they lived in the same complex, Yun Xia thought about visiting Chu Tianlan's single apartment directly in the evening.
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
6:10 PM,
Yun Xia, carrying a bag of exquisite lunch boxes made at home and two bottles of iced beer, took the slowly ascending elevator in Building 1 of Weiyang Apartments.
Looking at the continuously increasing numbers on the elevator, Yun Xia honestly felt somewhat guilty and self-reproachful.
Why would she have these two emotions?
The reason was simple. Before meeting 'Senior Mo Mo,' Yun Xia was very clear about how much she liked her idol senior Chu Tianlan, buzzing around Chu Tianlan like a little bee every day.
But after meeting Senior Mo Mo, in less than a week, through careful recollection, Yun Xia realized that she had only seen her idol senior Chu Tianlan once when looking for 'Senior Su Mo' that day.
And now, after such 'abandonment,' she was actively seeking help from the idol senior Chu Tianlan whom she had abandoned after Senior Mo Mo left.
Although Yun Xia knew that with senior Chu Tianlan's mature, tolerant personality, she would definitely overlook her wrongdoings and gently place her tender hand on her head like a caring sister, lovingly comforting her.
But as the elevator progressed floor by floor toward Chu Tianlan's single apartment on the 16th floor, Yun Xia still felt that sense of guilt gradually intensifying.
To ignore this guilt, Yun Xia deliberately closed her eyes, not paying attention to the continuously rising elevator numbers.
With her eyes closed, a person's other senses naturally heightened.
With closed eyes, Yun Xia's small nose twitched slightly.
Was it an illusion?
Why did she seem to faintly smell Senior Mo Mo's fragrance in this elevator?
But this wasn't scientific!
Obviously Senior Mo Mo had gone to romantic Turkey three days ago.
That fragrance shouldn't linger this long!
Just as Yun Xia was puzzled, Weiyang Apartments' elevator had quietly risen to the 15th floor and was heading toward the 16th floor.
Yun Xia, with enhanced hearing from closed eyes, faintly heard Chu Tianlan's distinctive mature voice.
"Student Su Mo, exactly how long do you plan to cross-dress..."
Hearing Chu Tianlan's voice, Yun Xia excitedly opened her eyes. Because she had thought she'd have to wait another half hour for Senior Chu to return home from Su University.
But now it seemed Senior Chu was coincidentally right at the door!
Ding dong~
Just as Yun Xia was full of joy, the elevator door suddenly opened.
With the elevator door opening, Yun Xia's light steps became stiff, and her originally happy expression... gradually became confused.
Because the senior she had always considered gentle and elegant was now appearing with a delicate boy at the door of Room 1603?
Looking at this scene, Yun Xia felt incredibly unbelievable.
How had Senior Chu gotten a boyfriend in just these two days?
Just as Yun Xia curiously walked out of the elevator, a breeze gently blew, carrying Chu Tianlan's lavender scent and also blowing Su Mo's unique fragrance into Yun Xia's nostrils.
Smelling this 'Senior Mo Mo' scent that she had been thinking about day and night these past few days, Yun Xia's almond eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.
The small lunch boxes and canned beer in her hands dropped to the floor in surprise.
Clang clang clang~
Su Mo, who was opening the door to Room 1603, heard the crisp sound of things falling behind her.
Instinctively turning around, she saw Junior Yun Xia who had come looking for her.
The moment she saw Yun Xia, Su Mo felt her blood starting to freeze, like a mouse encountering a cat, emanating natural enemy suppression from her soul.
At this moment, countless questions arose in Su Mo's mind:
How did Junior Yun Xia find this place?
Why was Junior Yun Xia staring directly at her?
Junior Yun Xia, she...
And just as Su Mo's thoughts were chaotic and she was instinctively trembling slightly from guilt.
Yun Xia had already ignored the dropped food and stepped forward two steps. After hesitating for two seconds, she asked:
"Are you Senior Mo Mo?"
As Yun Xia asked this question, she also began carefully examining Su Mo.
Just now she had only identified 'Senior Mo Mo' through smell and wasn't quite certain.
But now observing Su Mo's height and the snow-white jade-like smooth skin on her tender little hands exposed below her jacket.
Yun Xia could be completely 50% certain that this person was definitely 'Senior Mo Mo.'
Chu Tianlan, standing beside Su Mo, seeing that Su Mo hadn't replied for three seconds, first showed a flash of guilt on her gentle, mature face.
After all, regarding Su Mo's gender, she had in some sense deceived Junior Yun Xia.
But following the principle of making the best of a mistake, after looking at Su Mo's hidden flat chest, the next second, to maintain her good senior image in Yun Xia's heart, Chu Tianlan still smiled gently and explained:
"Junior Yun Xia, what are you talking about? This person in front of you is Senior Su Mo, not any Senior Mo Mo!"
Hearing Chu Tianlan's 'reasonable' explanation.
At this moment, Yun Xia's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
If just now she still had some uncertainty about whether the person in front of her was Senior Mo Mo.
Now with the appearance of the name 'Su Mo.'
Everything began to become clear.
Why was 'Senior Mo Mo's' boyfriend Senior Su Mo?
Oh, so there never was any Senior Mo Mo—there was only Senior Su Mo alone.
Why did asking Senior Chu about 'Senior Mo Mo' get that kind of response?
Recalling the 'cross-dressing' conversation she had faintly heard in the elevator just now.
At this moment, Yun Xia realized that her admired idol senior Chu Tianlan didn't lack knowledge about 'Senior Mo Mo's' identity.
She just wanted to monopolize such wonderful Senior Mo Mo!
With this realization, facing Chu Tianlan blocking in front of her.
At this moment, the guilt Yun Xia had felt in the elevator had completely disappeared.
Thinking that her former idol senior would actually monopolize 'Senior Mo Mo'—oh... now Senior Su Mo—for selfish reasons, and he was also the 'boyfriend' of the good senior 'Lin Muyao' who had counseled her last night.
At this moment, the perfect filter Yun Xia had for Chu Tianlan was shattered. Facing Chu Tianlan who was still trying to think of explanations, Yun Xia didn't pay attention but gently responded:
"Senior Chu Tianlan, I never thought you were this kind of senior!"
After saying this, Yun Xia gently pushed aside the stiff Chu Tianlan blocking the door, walked toward Su Mo behind her, and continued:
"Senior Mo Mo, oh no, Senior Su Mo, shouldn't you be in romantic Turkey?"
