Chapter 138 : An Xiaoqian's Heart Flutter~
138: An Xiaoqian's Heart Flutter~
"Oh ho~ Husband, look at that beautiful girl over there, she has such a literary atmosphere!"
"TNNNNND, you still know I'm your wife, yet you dare look at other girls."
"Don't, don't pinch anymore, it's going to break, my... my ear is going to... break."
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Su City Affiliated Third Hospital was located south of Su University. As a hospital in a bustling area was an essential part of the commercial district, it naturally had many prosperous shopping malls around it.
The reason Su Mo chose to meet with her 'non-existent' Sister Su Su at this location.
First was wanting to buy a phone directly here. The second point was being cautious.
If her Wife Muyao really accompanied her over, if she couldn't get away, she could also cleverly get lost in the crowd.
From the current results, the latter worry was unnecessary.
Although today was Friday and not officially a holiday yet, perhaps because Dragon Boat Festival was approaching and many workers had taken time off.
Today the 'Metro Department Store' mall next to Su City Affiliated Third Hospital was crowded with people.
Walking in the mall with heavy foot traffic, feeling the amazed gazes of shopping crowds looking at her from time to time, seeing a brave guy in front actually 'audaciously' sharing his girlfriend's attention while looking at her.
Watching the brave guy's ear being twisted by sharp manicured fingertips, letting out ghostly wails.
At this moment, Su Mo silently mourned for him while feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After all, as a formerly ordinary boy, Su Mo used to be the type who walked down the street without anyone paying attention.
Although Su Mo knew humans were instinctively visual creatures, and she used to like looking at beautiful girls and still did now.
Su Mo also knew that having become a beautiful girl herself, she was indeed good-looking... being watched was understandable.
But while the reasoning was sound, the problem was that normally shouldn't people sneak a glance then quickly look away?
Why were many people in the mall now, after looking at her, not only not withdrawing their gazes when she looked back, but getting even more excited?
Strange, really too strange.
Looking at such passersby, at this moment Su Mo finally somewhat understood why her Wife Muyao always appeared so aloof.
Because an aloof appearance seemed to reduce others' gazing, at least when she looked back they would be shy rather than excited!
Thinking of this point, Su Mo couldn't help but consider a question.
Emmmmmmm should she also learn to be aloof like her Wife Muyao?
Just as Su Mo was thinking this, the next second an emotionless electronic synthesized voice rang in her mind.
[Ding, detected host's inner monologue. Female Lin Muyao's aloof personality is caused by her wealthy background, experiences and many other factors. As the youngest of the Su family, with a happy family and weak constitution, the host likely cannot develop Lin Muyao's coolness in personality, leaning more toward a loveable, adorable dumpling personality.]
Hearing the Challenge System's statement, Su Mo's pale pretty face darkened.
Emmmmmmm today's system must be broken. She was a tough guy!
A tough guy!!!
Silently ignoring the broken system's notifications, Su Mo afterward came to the Xiaomi phone sales point on the first floor of 'Metro Mall.'
As for why Su Mo chose Xiaomi among the many phone brands?
Affordable prices suiting poor Su Mo was one aspect. The more important point was that unlike other brand phones that didn't allow customers to 'excessively' use display models.
Xiaomi phones were excessively generous in this regard, as could be seen from allowing many children to play 'King of Glory' in phone stores.
Su Mo, who now only had a phone card left with money stored in WeChat, naturally could only first use Xiaomi to log into WeChat, then buy a Xiaomi phone.
Su Mo's action of entering the Xiaomi phone store did surprise many people who had been silently watching her.
After all, Su Mo was a super beautiful girl.
This beautiful girl had no boyfriend, didn't drive luxury cars, and now entered an affordable Xiaomi phone store. Could this be a poor beautiful girl?
But looking at Su Mo's skin that seemed untouched by sunlight, everyone felt it was somewhat unrealistic.
After all, what poor family would raise such a beautiful girl??
Regarding many passersby's confusion, Su Mo didn't notice and had no mind to notice.
Since being watched by others was really embarrassing, Su Mo planned to cut through the mess quickly, buy the phone and go home. After all, she still had a 'Loli Wants to Play' mission to do today. In a sense, time was tight and tasks were heavy.
Since completing the SSS-level heartbeat mission's ninth ring required at least 3000 yuan, and Su Mo only had 4500 in cash.
So the phone's price range was finally set around 1000, with Su Mo planning to keep the remaining 500 for emergencies.
"Student, are you here to buy a phone? What price range are you thinking of?"
As soon as Su Mo entered the store, perhaps because her appearance was too striking, or because Su Mo indirectly brought a lot of customer traffic.
She was immediately approached by an enthusiastic sales lady.
Looking at the sales lady whose eyes sparkled slightly, looking at her like a 'high-quality customer.'
Su Mo honestly felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, the phone she wanted to buy was quite cheap, and she needed to insert the card and log into WeChat to pay, which was honestly troublesome.
But what surprised Su Mo was that after she made her request, perhaps due to the Heartthrob Aura's influence, or today's Literary Junior Outfit's effect.
The Xiaomi store sales lady was unexpectedly understanding. Not only did she not find it troublesome to privately lend her phone for logging into Tencent, but she also gave a big discount when checking out.
The originally 1199 yuan Xiaomi Note was discounted by over 200, directly 988, and she even brought an orange juice for Su Mo.
Feeling things progressing unexpectedly smoothly, at this moment drinking orange juice, Su Mo suddenly felt emotional. Becoming a beautiful girl seemed to have some benefits after all. Now it seemed her face even had discount effects!
Holding the newly bought phone, physical stores unlike online stores required filling out some invoice forms.
Su Mo waited for the helpful lady to find forms while happily drinking orange juice.
She didn't know if it was a potential influence from the 'Sensitive Constitution' skill.
Su Mo felt she liked drinking water more now.
Gulping down most of the orange juice bottle, after rejecting several brave boys' attempts at conversation.
Bored Su Mo began installing apps on her new phone while also looking around this Xiaomi phone store.
Unlike other stalls in 'Metro Mall' that were mostly adults.
The Xiaomi store had quite a children's playground feel.
In this store, you could see many middle and high school students enthusiastically playing games.
But amid this chorus of 'kill kill kill' and 'haha ha' happy sounds, a small figure cowering in the corner seemed out of place.
It was a petite girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features and fair skin, giving off a good baby vibe just by looking at her.
But such a cute girl was now trembling slightly all over, her little head lowered timidly, not daring to look at several delinquent-looking boys at the stall, showing a conflicted expression of wanting to leave but not daring to.
Seeing the girl's reaction, Su Mo was stunned. Was the girl being bullied?
Just as Su Mo was thinking this, a system notification suddenly rang in her mind.
[Ding, congratulations host, triggered C-level mission: Save the Bullied Girl.]
[Save the Bullied Girl: Ling Ran, as a second-year middle school student, has a somewhat short vocal cords and stutters when speaking. Lacking confidence to make friends, she has recently been bullied by three third-year seniors who not only forcibly seized the girl's money but also made threatening behaviors toward the obedient girl.]
[Mission requirements: Please have the host counsel and comfort the girl, helping her regain confidence. Success reward: 300 Challenge Coins. Mission failure: no punishment.]
Su Mo, who had recently been completing SSS-level missions, was honestly quite surprised to see this ordinary mission suddenly refresh.
Her surprise was partly that Su Mo didn't expect to encounter bullying incidents in reality.
The other point was that as SSS-level mission rings increased, Challenge Coin rewards also gradually increased. Now looking back at ordinary missions, Su Mo realized how little ordinary C-level missions rewarded.
But although the reward was small, Su Mo didn't dwell on it much and quickly accepted this mission.
After all, as a former boy, facing a bullied girl, if she stood by and watched, Su Mo's 'manly' conscience wouldn't allow it!
[Ding, congratulations host for successfully accepting mission: Save the Bullied Girl]
As the system notification echoed in her mind, Su Mo began thinking about how to properly approach the girl.
After all, if she directly went over and abruptly asked, the bullied girl might very likely be threatened by the three and say 'I'm fine,' which would be passive.
Just as Su Mo was considering an appropriate reason.
The three delinquent boys seemed to have lost their game and were in a bad mood. One directly grabbed Ling Ran's arm and walked toward the store exit without explanation.
Seeing Ling Ran trembling, her lips turning pale from fright, yet not daring to refuse—clearly having received abnormal treatment before.
Sensing danger, Su Mo stopped thinking about finding reasons.
Afraid Ling Ran would get hurt, she subconsciously wanted to chase after them, but then discovered a cute petite figure in front of her.
An Xiaoqian had been angry for half the night after being treated differently and left out during last night's 'junior acting cute session,' only falling asleep in the latter half of the night.
Just now in deep sleep, she received a consultation call from her friend Lin Muyao.
Hearing Lin Muyao on the phone mention meeting Su Mo's sister Su Mo Mo at Su University, then the phone explosion, filming short videos being watched, and finally wanting to buy 'couple aromatherapy' and asking for her opinions.
Recalling last night's Su Mo in Literary Junior Outfit, An Xiaoqian deduced that Su Mo Mo was most likely Su Mo, and Su Mo might come to nearby malls to buy phones.
Thinking of this, An Xiaoqian came to 'Metro Plaza' to look for Su Mo by chance.
An Xiaoqian, having successfully found Su Mo, hadn't yet had time to get close to the incredibly sweet and cute-looking Su Mo.
The next second, she was ignored by Su Mo.
Seeing Su Mo ignore her, An Xiaoqian was originally somewhat angry.
After all, how could a 'wife' ignore her 'husband' on the street!
But after An Xiaoqian saw the seriousness, focus, and anxious worry revealed in Su Mo's crystal-bright amber eyes.
As an adult, An Xiaoqian didn't inappropriately stop Su Mo, but silently followed behind her.
Metro Mall was very crowded today, to the degree where couples shopping could easily be separated by the crowd with one turn.
But fortunately, one of the three middle schoolers had dyed chuunibyou white hair, very conspicuous.
Su Mo, having just left the Xiaomi store, quickly discovered through this white hair clue that the three boys had taken Ling Ran into the mall's rarely noticed emergency fire escape room.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition.
Thinking that bullying locations were often enclosed spaces, she subconsciously quickened her pace... running.
An Xiaoqian, following behind Su Mo, looked in Su Mo's direction and saw Ling Ran being helplessly coerced into the fire escape room.
A dark memory buried deep in her heart slowly revived in her mind.
In the dim, cramped bathroom after school, boys' humiliating mocking voices, the cold sensation of water flowing down her hair, and the burning pain on her face.
Helpless, afraid, fearful, panicked emotions wrapped around her like layers of gauze, choking her throat and preventing her from speaking.
Recalling that memory, An Xiaoqian couldn't help but shiver all over.
When she followed Su Mo to the somewhat dark emergency fire escape door.
Hearing the girl's faint sobbing from inside, smelling the moldy scent characteristic of fire escapes.
At this moment, An Xiaoqian surprisingly found her body trembling with fear like a stress response, even her legs in white stockings had an instinctive urge to run away.
Just as An Xiaoqian was trembling with fear from memories.
Su Mo in front of her moved.
Su Mo firmly walked to the fire door in her white sneakers. The next moment she extended two pale, delicate-looking little hands and pressed against the door.
Su Mo's hands were very small and powerless—An Xiaoqian, who claimed to be Su Mo's husband, knew both these points.
But these powerless, weak little hands actually pushed open the heavy fire escape door.
Creak~ Creak creak~
As the fire escape door was pushed open, streams of fluorescent light from the mall shone through the gap onto the tearful middle school girl Ling Ran.
As Su Mo pushed harder and the fire door opened wider and wider, An Xiaoqian standing beside Su Mo suddenly discovered.
In the black eyes of that girl who, like her past self, was being bullied, a light called hope and salvation gradually appeared.
Seeing the girl show this expression, hearing Su Mo's angry and solemn voice by her ear.
"You guys, let go of that girl!"
Su Mo's voice, due to her weak constitution, wasn't loud even when angry.
But this voice sounded like a great bell to An Xiaoqian, unable to dissipate for a long time.
As this voice rang out, An Xiaoqian felt the fear from childhood bullying begin to gradually dissipate.
Feeling strength return to her body again, looking at Su Mo standing at the fire escape door, bringing light to the dark room with clenched fists, gritted teeth, and a resolute, fearless handsome appearance.
At this moment, An Xiaoqian felt her little heart beat hard.
Intense love poured out—that was a feeling called heartfelt attraction!
Mmm~ My wife is so handsome❤ I seem to like her even more❤!~❤
