Chapter 206 : Senior Chu, Why Aren't You Going Out
Pitter-patter~ Pitter-patter~
Late June, having officially entered midsummer, was somewhat stuffy in temperature.
In the evening, Su City welcomed a gentle rain characteristic of Jiangnan's tranquil elegance, which dispersed some of midsummer's stuffiness and brought a touch of freshness to the air.
But the originally silent gentle rain that should have made people quiet and peaceful formed a great contrast with the atmosphere inside Su University's arts hall at this moment, as the comedy performance ended and the program moved to the confession meeting segment before the welcome party's conclusion.
Excited discussion voices began echoing in the arts hall.
"According to the program list given by Su University's student council, the next one should be Su University campus belle's confession meeting!"
"Hehe, latest news just spread backstage—today's Su campus belle is super cute, she even made the comedy senior faint from cuteness just now. Really looking forward to Junior Su Mo today!"
"Heh, fellow schoolmates, I feel like you're mythologizing Su Mo a bit. She's just a girl—how good-looking could she be? I think the online pictures are all photoshopped!"
"Oh, this brother, then can I ask why you're so resistant to Su Mo, yet you came here at 2:30 PM to save a seat, and didn't watch the programs just now—is it cool here?"
"Cough... I came with a critical, verifying perspective... oh, oh, oh~"
The third-year senior Sun Hang who was 'discussing' with people beside him hadn't finished saying 'critical' when the spotlight on stage lit up, shining on Su Mo who appeared from behind the curtain.
At this moment, his brain clearly hadn't reacted yet, but his mouth had already honestly given the amazed 'oh' answer.
Today's Su Mo, because she had to give a confession meeting speech, couldn't wear the too-casual Utena JK uniform. So she simply changed into a sky-blue dress that her sister Su Su had selected for her before leaving.
The fluffy blue skirt hem made Su Mo's already fair skin appear even more exquisite.
Two tender, straight long legs appeared from under the fluffy skirt hem, without a trace of leg hair or blemishes. Just looking at them, one could completely imagine how smooth they must be, and even imagine their sweet fragrance.
Above the two slender calves, two knees with cherry-pink hues were faintly visible.
Perhaps being watched by too many people, at this moment the two pink little knees were shyly trembling slightly with a tendency to press together, giving Su Mo a delicate and exquisite aura while also adding a kind of... ravaging desire to pry them apart.
Su Mo's lower body was already very cute, but even more stunning was Su Mo's pretty face.
After several days of growth, Su Mo's hair was no longer the androgynous style of a tomboy, but had become long enough to easily fall in front of the soft peaks extending along her graceful swan neck's beautiful curve. Combined with Su Mo's large, round peach blossom eyes, delicate nose, and fragrant cherry lips, she was like an obedient doll waiting for her master in a shop window.
At first glance, she was such a stunning doll.
But what made people even more amazed was that as Su Mo under the spotlight walked somewhat shyly and nervously toward the center of the stage, both the audience in the stands and the livestream viewers discovered something incredible.
In their perspective, through 'imagination,' beside Su Mo's little head, an incredibly cute two-dimensional big-headed Q-version girl image was born.
At this moment, this Q-version big-headed girl had a blush on her cheeks, using her little hands to shyly cover her eyes, but seemed to be secretly watching ahead through the gap in her right fingers.
Seeing this cute scene, because this dimension-breaking emoji effect was really too unexpected, the arts hall seemed to have a pause button pressed, suddenly changing from chaos to tranquility.
Facing the shocked crowd looking at her, Su Mo, who couldn't see her own emoji effect without a mirror, didn't pay attention, or rather couldn't pay attention.
Because now was the time for her confession meeting.
Rather than managing the audience's emotions below, Su Mo, who was introverted by nature and not good at expression, now just wanted to quickly recite the script and end this confession meeting.
After all, being watched by so many people was really too shameful.
Although this shame was still less intense compared to Senior Chu's special training.
But if possible, Su Mo still wanted to return to normal daily life!
She didn't want to play this kind of shameful play!
With her mind made up to speed up the exit process and end this shameful confession meeting play, Su Mo quickened her pace toward the microphone.
But as she reached the microphone stand, Su Mo suddenly discovered a big problem.
The stage's speech microphone, to ensure sound quality, was an adjustable standing design.
The previous act was a comedy performance by two male seniors, both over 180cm tall, which created a problem.
Su Mo needed to adjust the microphone.
Facing the adjustable standing microphone, since Su Mo didn't like going to KTV, she had no adjustment experience.
Under normal circumstances, facing this simple design, Su Mo should have figured it out quickly.
But now, feeling many people's watching gazes, Su Mo was already nervous, and often it's like this—the more anxious and afraid of making mistakes you are, the more mistakes you make, and the more mistakes you make, the more anxious you become, creating a vicious cycle!
So, facing Su Mo entangled with the microphone, her emotions became increasingly agitated!
The Q-version girl emoji above her head also began gradually changing with Su Mo's mental journey.
First shyly covering eyes → wearing dizzy glasses → looking down and crying → biting a towel and looking up crying → angrily stomping feet → little loli rolling around...
Watching these cute dynamic emojis silently telling Su Mo's emotions, vivid like a stage play, super cute.
"Oh~"
Some audience member was the first to give an amazed "oh~," setting a precedent.
The next moment, more and more amazed "oh" exclamations began ringing out in the arts venue.
Buzz~
In the rising and falling "oh" sounds, Su Mo finally... finally knocked over the microphone!
As the microphone hit the ground, it let out a loud, displeased buzz!
Having been on stage under everyone's gaze for nearly a minute, Su Mo felt a wave of social death wash over her.
Wuu wuu wuu, this was too embarrassing!
Just as Su Mo didn't know how to save the scene, and had even forgotten the confession script she knew by heart due to this incident, with her little Q-version person turning into a gray-white shocked open-mouthed state, a voice that sounded like heavenly music to Su Mo rang out from the other side of the stage.
"I'm sure everyone can see that Student Su Mo is very nervous today. However, Su University is a wonderful big family. Student Su Mo, you don't need to worry—no one will laugh at you. Use this microphone first!"
Looking at Chu Tianlan walking toward her from backstage to save the scene, speaking while gently extending a graceful hand to pass her a microphone, at this moment the panicked Su Mo felt like she was a princess and Chu Tianlan was the hero who had rescued her from an evil dragon.
Thanks to Chu Tianlan's help, the Q-version person above Su Mo's head immediately recovered from gray to vibrant yellow, even actively putting on black cat ears and paws, making grateful, affectionate gestures.
Looking at Su Mo's head, which had already made no fewer than twenty cute emojis since entering until now, and this emoji showing affection toward her was cute to the extreme, seeing Su Mo like an adorable kitten, Chu Tianlan's gently made-up, neighborly big sister face showed a slight smile.
But hearing the waves of amazed "oh~" sounds from below the stage, Chu Tianlan's smile slowly faded.
Although she had always had psychological expectations about Su Mo's charm, now it seemed... Su Mo's charm was really too great.
To prevent her treasure from being coveted by others, looking at Su Mo on stage who had taken the microphone but was trembling slightly from shyness and hadn't started speaking yet, her little emoji becoming lively again, to reduce Su Mo's embarrassment and reduce her cute charm emission, recalling this afternoon's crash training and remembering most of the confession meeting content, Chu Tianlan began guiding.
"Student Su Mo, what is your view on the Four-No-Two-Direct incident..."
With knowledgeable Chu Tianlan's high emotional intelligence topic opening, the originally nervous Su Mo who had forgotten her lines due to the small incident gradually entered the speech state.
Although she still contributed several steamy girl emojis due to nervousness during the process, she still deeply completed the 'new school rules' confession meeting.
Since the confession meeting was the final closing act of Su University's welcome party, afterward, the welcome party came to a perfect conclusion.
After the welcome party ended, what Su Mo didn't know was that after experiencing her confession meeting just now, shocking clickbait news articles about 'emoji packs' began being published online.
Besides news, various cute two-dimensional emojis about Su Mo were also created and uploaded by many skillful internet users.
Seeing this, some might want to ask: what does current Su Mo actually know?
About this, after the welcome party ended, Su Mo returned to Weiyang Apartments room 1603 with Chu Tianlan, watching Chu Tianlan who had helped her greatly in the confession meeting just now and was now taking pajamas preparing to stay overnight, skillfully starting to run bathwater.
Recalling the reward Senior Chu mentioned this afternoon, current Su Mo suddenly had a premonition that something big would happen tonight!
Just as Su Mo was looking at the bathtub about to be filled with warm water, thinking about what might happen next, a voice full of neighborly big sister's gentle and virtuous girl's tone began echoing in the small room 1603.
"Junior Su Mo, the confession meeting is already over, why are you still so nervous? The bathwater is ready, hurry and take a bath to relax properly!"
Looking at Senior Chu making this suggestion, Su Mo, who had really accumulated pressure today, didn't think much and entered the bathroom.
But what surprised Su Mo was:
"Sen... Senior Chu, why aren't you... aren't you going out?!!!"
