Heartbeat Hide and Seek, Game Over if Discovered

Sizzle~

In the small apartment room filled with a girlish living atmosphere,

Early in the morning, the crisp sound of cooking echoed from the kitchen.

Golden egg fragments dotted the rice, emitting an enticing color. Each grain of rice had been carefully stir-fried, the grains plump and elastic, each bite bringing delicate texture and rich flavor.

What was being cooked in the kitchen was the very popular breakfast dish of egg fried rice, just looking at it made one want to taste it.

But compared to the golden, enticing fried rice.

At this moment, the virtuous fried rice girl in the kitchen was clearly several levels more charming than the fried rice itself.

On skin like congealed fat, she wore only a cool silk bellyband that fluttered like autumn leaves in the air conditioning breeze, occasionally lifting to reveal glimpses of the girl's graceful waist and round, cute white rabbits from behind, just looking at it made one want to launch a rear assault and punish her on the spot.

This fried rice girl was none other than Su Mo, who had come to visit room 1103.

As for why Su Mo was now cooking fried rice wearing only this seductive bellyband, wasn't she afraid of being attacked by the landlord?

Speaking of this reason...

Su Mo couldn't help but glance toward a glass bottle that had originally been transparent but was now filled.

Looking at that full glass bottle, Su Mo's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.

Under the 'succubus buff,' An Xiaoqian's body had been modified to be like Su Mo's—not only had her constitution become special, but even her taste had become like Su Mo's, full of memorable sweetness.

As a black-hearted loli, An Xiaoqian's size was even more exaggerated than Chu Tianlan's D—an F cup.

Su Mo had thoroughly enjoyed herself this night and was already quite satisfied.

Now looking at An Xiaoqian who hadn't awakened yet, thinking about how she herself would be very hungry the day after being devoured, with a wife-doting and empathetic mindset.

Estimating that An Xiaoqian would wake up in three or four hours.

To prevent the heavily depleted An Xiaoqian from going hungry, she prepared breakfast for her in advance, while also experiencing whether the chef girl's bellyband was useful.

Looking at the freshly cooked egg fried rice with distinct grains emitting an enticing aroma, Su Mo knew this fried rice was a success.

Silently placing the fried rice in the half-closed microwave, then drinking the delicious breakfast from the glass bottle in one gulp.

Su Mo then gracefully walked toward the Holy Knight.

Fufufu~

Looking at An Xiaoqian, who had been arranged in scissors hand and scissors foot positions by herself, still oblivious and yawning widely while sleeping.

Su Mo silently bent down and took out a marker that An Xiaoqian had used before, wanting to remind An Xiaoqian after she woke up that there was rice in the pot.

But just as she was about to write, Su Mo hesitated.

Because during last night's nightmare buff, Su Mo had learned many strange patterns from otherworld people.

So this night, she had drawn many doodles on An Xiaoqian.

To the point where there was no space left on An Xiaoqian's delicate body to write.

However, Su Mo soon found a place where she could write properly.

Looking at the small sign hanging on An Xiaoqian's chest that read 'I am Su Mo's exclusive plush toy,' Su Mo thought for a moment, took out the marker, and continued writing on the back: "There's rice in the microwave, and it's safe this time!"

After doing all this, the virtuous Su Mo gently covered An Xiaoqian with a small blanket.

Looking at the computer screen showing the continuously trembling Holy Knight going "aba aba," Su Mo revealed a satisfied smile.

Hmph~

This time she had finally succeeded in revenge through her own abilities.

Ding dong~

Just as Su Mo was immersed in the joy of victory, her phone rang with a notification.

Unconsciously opening her phone, Su Mo saw the message was from Yun Xia.

Yun Xia: Senior Mo Mo, I'm at President Chu's house now. Didn't we agree yesterday to look at shops together today? If you're awake, let's head out. I'll tutor the two little ones first.

Looking at the thoughtful Yun Xia who had been helping her tutor the two little ones for a long time recently.

Su Mo felt moved and couldn't help but get excited.

After all, today she had landed a big order!

Silently tucking in the blanket of her big order employer more carefully, having done all this.

Having been a goblin for a night and eaten a flavorful breakfast, Su Mo energetically headed toward room 1802.

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

After arriving at Chu Tianlan's home and having a simple chat.

Su Mo and Yun Xia got into Chu Tianlan's sports car and headed toward the 'Carrefour' plaza they had been scouting recently.

As for why Chu Tianlan was accompanying them when it was supposed to be Yun Xia and Su Mo preparing to open a 'clothing store.'

The reason was simple.

Yun Xia looked like a youthful, pretty sweet girl, while Su Mo was surrounded by a beautiful, sweet girlish aura.

Although both had beautiful auras, this beauty was obviously going to be taken advantage of in negotiations.

Su Mo and Yun Xia's funds were only 500,000 yuan, which wasn't really abundant.

To save money, Su Mo and Yun Xia both agreed it would be better to invite the reliable-looking Chu Tianlan to oversee things.

Since they had been scouting for two consecutive days, and Yun Xia's market research had been approved by both Chu Tianlan and Su Mo.

This trip was basically to sign contracts.

Yun Xia had her eye on two shops in the 'Carrefour' mall—one was a shop that hadn't been renovated before, with an annual rent of 100,000 yuan.

The other had already been renovated and could be moved into immediately after removing the signage, but this one was more expensive with an annual rent of 180,000 yuan.

Faced with these two shops, normally Su Mo would definitely choose the former.

After all, renovating a 150㎡ shop with 'commercial decoration' would cost about 100,000 yuan.

But thinking about the daily increasing interest on 'Black Card Borrowing,' even if renovation took ten days and airing out formaldehyde took another ten days, the interest rate would exceed 2000+, which wouldn't work!

So after brief consideration, Su Mo ultimately chose the latter.

Through 'Part-time Brother Wang's' connection, Su Mo contacted the landlord, and to the surprise of Su Mo, Chu Tianlan, and Yun Xia, the world was surprisingly small.

The landlord of this clothing store was someone all three of them knew—the mother of Jiajia, who lived next to room 1802 and was classmates with Ningning and Chenchen.

Although Su Mo had only tutored Jiajia for less than ten sessions and had frequently taken leave recently with Yun Xia covering her classes.

Due to Su Mo's Heartthrob Aura influence, her broadcasting major's special voice mimicry skills, and most importantly, Su Mo had a 'Mo Mo' little sister who made Jiajia's heart flutter.

Under Su Mo's recent course guidance, Jiajia, who used to get headaches, feel feverish, and roll around on the floor when studying, had recently begun studying actively on her own.

This change made Jiajia's mother both surprised and relieved.

Because Jiajia was studying actively, she didn't need to attend cram school.

You should know that elementary school cram schools weren't cheap nowadays—200 yuan per session was rare, not to mention the trouble of driving children to cram school, and parking fees in Su City weren't low either.

So Jiajia's mother had always wanted to thank Su Mo for making Jiajia study seriously.

She had proposed giving Su Mo some monetary reward.

But Su Mo had refused, since teaching Ningning and Chenchen was already teaching, and Jiajia was also well-behaved, so it wasn't too much trouble.

Now seeing Su Mo coming to rent her property, Jiajia's mother's eyes lit up.

Before Su Mo could speak, Jiajia's mother grabbed Su Mo's little hand and said:

"Teacher Su, since you're renting my property, I'll definitely give you a discount. The original price... 180,000 yuan, right? I'll reduce it by 60,000 yuan for the year."

Hearing the rent drop from 180,000 to 120,000 yuan, Su Mo was slightly shocked.

After all, while waiting in the coffee shop earlier and listening to conversations between Yun Xia, Chu Tianlan, and Part-time Brother Wang, Su Mo had learned about the general market prices.

But while surprised, seeing the relief in Jiajia's mother's eyes, Su Mo didn't immediately agree.

After all, emmmmmmm, although Carrefour mall had declined.

It was still a mall, and this shop had decent renovation with 140 square meters of usable space.

It definitely wouldn't be as cheap as 120,000—clearly Jiajia's mother was giving too much of a discount.

Although Su Mo had originally wanted to negotiate the price, she didn't want Jiajia's mother to lose out.

So the situation became interesting.

"Jiajia's mom, 170,000 yuan rent would be fine for me."

"125,000, Teacher Su, don't feel burdened."

"Jiajia's mom, 160,000, really can't be too little."

"You college students all have it tough, and you work so many part-time jobs, 130,000 rent is fine."

...

Little Brother Wang, as a real estate agent, was stunned watching this scene.

The landlord actively lowering prices while the buyer started raising them—this operation was simply unheard of.

Just as Su Mo and Jiajia's mother were counter-haggling in opposite directions.

Jiajia's mother suddenly slapped her forehead and said:

"Teacher Su, my family has another shop in 'Carrefour' mall that used to sell scarves, earrings, and small accessories. But business hasn't been good these past two years, and the space is small at only 70㎡, so it closed down. It's been empty for three years with no tenants, right next to the clothing store. Since it's just sitting empty anyway, why don't I just package it for you? One price: 170,000 yuan per year."

Hearing Jiajia's mother's words, Su Mo was slightly stunned.

Emmmmmmm, what would she do with this shop when she was selling clothes?

However, seeing the price finally reach 170,000 yuan, Su Mo didn't struggle further and directly signed the contract.

After successfully signing the contract, paying Little Brother Wang 5,000 yuan in agency fees, and getting keys to both shops, Su Mo followed Yun Xia and Chu Tianlan into the exquisitely decorated clothing store.

Looking at this shop, Su Mo felt incredulous at this moment.

Emmmmmmmmm, just a month ago, she was still a young man struggling for heart health.

Now she was about to open her own shop!

Mmm... it felt somewhat incredible!

Just as Su Mo was looking at the shop with emotion, her phone suddenly received a call.

After seeing the caller's name, Su Mo's excited mood calmed considerably.

Wu... Advisor Lu, what was he calling for?

It didn't feel like anything good!
