Heartbeat Hide and Seek, Game Over if Discovered

Pat pat~

With tiny sounds ringing at Su Mo's fair, soft fingertips, cute, delicate little diamonds were being set one by one.

Watching her fingertips being adorned with very fine, cute nail art under Yun Xia's skillful movements.

At this moment, Su Mo's mood was somewhat complex.

As a former boy, Su Mo had never understood why girls would like nail art.

After all, regarding nail art, like most male compatriots, Su Mo couldn't get its charm either.

As for Su Mo, who wasn't interested in nail art, why was she now obediently sitting in the nail art area of Mo Mo's Dimensional Store next to the clothing store, having Yun Xia do her nails?

The reason was, frankly, an irresistible force.

Just now, after being surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic girls, although Su Mo managed to break out with Yun Xia and Chu Tianlan's rescue.

But somehow someone suggested: 'Junior Mo Mo, why don't you have accessories? Want to get nail art?'

So it became the current scene.

Feeling Yun Xia's smooth, delicate little hands first gently taking wet wipes to softly clean her little hands, then doing some relaxing movements for her fingers, afterward carefully attaching small diamonds to her fingertips.

Hearing Junior Yun Xia occasionally discussing store matters in soft murmurs.

At this moment, Su Mo somewhat understood why girls would like nail art.

Because whether nail art was pretty or not aside, just the experience of having her hands touched by girls throughout the process was very nice. Plus the focused attention for her sake and intimate chatting with girls.

This... in some sense, wasn't this similar to the foot washing experience male roommates described?

"Senior Mo Mo, isn't it beautiful?"

Half an hour later, with Yun Xia's girlish voice, Su Mo's nail art service finally neared its end.

Looking at Yun Xia, whose ten fingers were interlocked with hers, excitedly examining her slender fingertips adorned with small diamonds. Those fingertips occasionally sparkled brilliantly under the lights, looking very cute.

To get a clearer look, Su Mo instinctively raised her five slender jade fingers and very girlishly shook her wrist.

Because the little nail art's sparkling light was really cute, Su Mo's fair pretty face couldn't help but show slight fluctuation, and two dimples appeared.

But Su Mo's smile hadn't lasted two seconds before being forcibly withdrawn.

Because Su Mo suddenly discovered a problem—a big problem!

Emmmmmmm, she was clearly a boy at heart.

But how... how could she now like nail art? I... I'm not right!

Just as Su Mo was shocked by her feminized thinking changes, Chu Tianlan's gentle voice sounded behind her.

"Little Mo, is the nail art done? Little Brother Wang says the supermarket landlord is arriving. Let's go!"

Hearing Chu Tianlan's urging, although Yun Xia also wanted to follow along and find a chance to inquire about or even measure Senior Mo Mo's new measurements.

But considering that the clothing store and dimensional store had just opened today and there were currently many customers, Yun Xia could only reluctantly wave goodbye to Su Mo and Chu Tianlan.

Leaving the thriving 'Mo Mo's Dimensional Store' and walking hand-in-hand with Chu Tianlan toward the supermarket, Su Mo's mood relaxed somewhat.

Because during the nail art conversation with Yun Xia just now, Su Mo learned that Mo Mo's Ready-Made Clothing Store currently had over twenty orders besides An Xiaoqian's order, all averaging 600-1500 yuan.

As for why there were so many orders on the first day of opening?

Actually, these orders weren't due to Yun Xia's connections. Mo Mo's Ready-Made Clothing Store was really conscientious.

Although there were many cheap Lolita outfits online now, 300 yuan looked very good and affordable.

But whether in fabric materials or comfort, to make profits, merchants actually cut corners significantly. They weren't comfortable to wear, and the fabric was too thin and revealing. Plus the current online women's clothing environment wasn't great, with problems like not removing tags and serious returns, especially with Lolita outfits.

But Mo Mo's Ready-Made Clothing Store didn't need to consider these problems. First, Yun Xia chose good fabrics without transparency concerns. Second, customers could DIY customize and have clothes tailored.

Although the prices were somewhat more expensive than online.

But considering they were handmade two-dimensional outfits, they were generally conscientious.

As for the dimensional store, although it only sold some two-dimensional merchandise with few sales, it provided a comfortable environment for cosplayers, which was quite nice.

Just as Su Mo was inwardly sighing about 'Mo Mo's Ready-Made Clothing Store's' smooth operation, Chu Tianlan, who was holding Su Mo's nail-art little hand, was somewhat spaced out.

Because looking at Su Mo's sparkling, cute fair fingertips, Chu Tianlan suddenly had a good idea.

Fingernails looked so beautiful just with nail art—if Su Mo's smooth, delicate jade feet like figurines were painted with red nail polish.

Just thinking about that combination of white and red, Chu Tianlan's throat couldn't help but move, feeling it would be even better...

Carrefour Plaza was a three-story mall. Although the overall area was large, the east and west sides of the first floor weren't too far apart.

Walking hand-in-hand with Chu Tianlan for ten minutes, Su Mo reached the west side of the mall.

Just arriving at the west side, Su Mo saw Part-time Brother Wang in a sharp suit with professional tie, waving to signal her.

Walking instinctively toward the sharp Little Brother Wang, when she got closer, Su Mo was surprised to discover.

This world really was small.

The person standing beside Little Brother Wang was none other than Zhang Ru, the president of the Blind Association from the 'blind livestream' a few days ago.

"Sister Zhang Ru, what a coincidence! Why are you here?"

Because during the livestream, Association President Zhang Ru had taken good care of her without making things difficult, and guide dog Duo Duo was really too cute.

Su Mo had quite a good impression of this big sister Zhang Ru.

Hearing Su Mo's sweet greeting, Zhang Ru, who had just been called by Little Brother Wang, shook her head and said:

"Little Mo, not a coincidence—I'm the landlord's daughter here! So you're the one wanting to rent my family's supermarket? But aren't you a college student? What are you opening a supermarket for? I'm telling you, business here isn't easy. Be careful you'll cry!"

While speaking, Zhang Ru also teasingly pinched Su Mo's little nose.

Wu...

Su Mo, whose little nose was pinched, although it didn't hurt, made a cute whimpering sound.

Hearing Zhang Ru ask about the reason for opening a supermarket, Su Mo couldn't help but puff her pink cheeks slightly and recall:

"Sister Zhang Ru, you don't even know—I was cheated at the market two days ago... aba aba..."

Before looking for Su Mo to film the 'blind livestream,' Zhang Ru had already learned about many of Su Mo's affairs.

Like her bold college entrance exam, the Four-No-Two-Direct incident, and her bizarre operations on university campus, knowing Su Mo had the bold personality of doing whatever came to mind.

But now hearing that Su Mo wanted to open a supermarket because she was cheated 'a few days ago,' and to prevent other college students from being cheated, she wanted to open an honest, affordable supermarket.

Hearing this reason for the first time, Zhang Ru felt it was fantastical.

After all, Su Mo's idea was too naive and innocent.

Being cheated so she wanted to open a supermarket? And an affordable supermarket with good quality and low prices?

This sounded too fantasy-like, lacking planning and too frivolous.

However, although Su Mo's plan didn't sound mature.

As President of Su City's Blind Association, Su Mo's upcoming supermarket's people-benefiting concept coincided with Zhang Ru's initial intention to help blind people.

In some sense, they were in agreement, and Zhang Ru quite appreciated it.

Thinking of this situation, after simply touring the supermarket, they reached the aspect of discussing supermarket rental prices.

The large flat-floor supermarket Zhang Ru's father had previously operated really wasn't small in area.

Roughly estimating, the area was about 1200㎡.

Although Carrefour mall wasn't like Vanke Beautiful Plaza with high foot traffic—it was actually quite deserted—rent would be much cheaper!

But how to put it?

Such a large area was right there, and prices were definitely proportional.

Just as Su Mo's group of four, after observing the supermarket, came to sit in a nearby coffee shop on the verge of closing to discuss prices.

Originally Su Mo was somewhat anxious about the annual rental cost.

But what surprised Su Mo was that Landlord Zhang Ru's discussed rental price was actually:

"Little Mo, Student Chu, let me tell you first—opening a supermarket here might very likely lose money. How about this, I won't bully you youngsters. I'll just charge you 23% of your annual net profit for rent. If you can't continue before then or have no profit, just give me 100,000 yuan as an explanation to my dad."

Hearing Zhang Ru mention 23% of annual net profit, Su Mo, who wasn't a finance student, could understand the meaning from the words.

But how to put it?

She was still somewhat confused, since she had no idea how much a supermarket could earn in a year.

While Su Mo wasn't clear, Chu Tianlan, as a finance student, clearly knew that Zhang Ru in front of them had given a discount.

After all, 25% of revenue for supermarket rent was reasonable, but Zhang Ru was only charging 23%.

Apart from this point.

Normally, facing herself and Su Mo as two entrepreneurial college students, Landlord Zhang Ru should collect 'real' rent rather than this ethereal revenue percentage.

She must have seen that she and Su Mo didn't have much cash on hand and was worried about cash flow!

Thinking of these two situations, Chu Tianlan ultimately raised the revenue percentage to 25%.

After all, Landlord Zhang Ru not charging rent upfront was already too much of a concession.

Brush brush brush.

After signing her name in black and white, sending off President Zhang Ru, and paying Part-time Brother Wang a huge agency fee, Chu Tianlan and Su Mo got the 'supermarket' keys and contract.

Since they had eaten a lot for breakfast and it wasn't lunchtime yet, the two with keys immediately decided to walk into the supermarket and think about how to layout the future supermarket.

Perhaps due to the psychological effect of now being supermarket owners.

Although she had just been to the supermarket, revisiting it, Su Mo felt this supermarket seemed to have more of a sense of belonging.

Taking happy big steps through the supermarket, Su Mo's Utena JK little leather shoes made cheerful tapping sounds due to her good mood.

Although there was nothing on the supermarket shelves.

But thinking of these being filled with goods she and Chu Tianlan would purchase later, just imagining it was quite appealing.

Just as Su Mo was happily touring the supermarket, reaching the corner of the supermarket.

Meow~

A cute white kitten that looked newly born suddenly appeared at a small hole connecting the corner to the warehouse.

This small hole wasn't big—only about the size of Su Mo's waist.

According to landlord Sister Zhang Ru's introduction, it seemed to have been opened years ago to settle porters' wages.

But in recent years, due to digital payments, it was sealed with black cloth, which seemed to have been taken by the cat.

Looking at this little kitten in the hole stretching its hind feet to cutely scratch its little head.

Perhaps due to becoming a cat girl, Su Mo quite liked cats now. Plus she was in a good mood, so Su Mo instinctively walked toward the cute little cat.

But because she walked somewhat hastily, Su Mo didn't notice a wooden plank carelessly placed on the ground.

Pat~

As Su Mo's little leather shoes stepped on the smooth wooden plank, the next moment, the plank slid backward like a magical banana peel.

Reaching her hands forward and losing balance, Su Mo shot straight forward like an arrow.

Meow~

Seeing Su Mo pouncing so urgently, the one-month-old kitten meowed once, then with fur standing on end, ran toward the supermarket warehouse and quickly disappeared from Su Mo's view.

Su Mo, who had accidentally fallen into the wall hole, was somewhat tearful at this moment.

Wu...

She had used momentum to get in just now, but now this hole seemed somewhat small—she couldn't get out either front or back!

Wasn't this the legendary wall hole play?

However, what made Su Mo breathe a sigh of relief was.

Fortunately, she wasn't alone at the supermarket now—there was gentle President Chu.

Just as Su Mo had just relaxed and wanted to seek help.

But before she could speak, the next second, she first felt a coolness behind her.

Emmmmmmm, was it an illusion?

Her skirt seemed to have been lifted?

While Su Mo without vision couldn't judge the skirt situation from touch alone.

But the next second, what convinced Su Mo was that her panties were gently moved aside.

Feeling this development, Su Mo's fair pretty face couldn't help but flush with a faint blush, her voice also carrying trembling and disbelief.

"Chu... President Chu, what are you doing?"

Chu Tianlan, who had just been thinking about how to punish 'black tea Su Mo,' looked at Su Mo who had accidentally entered the wall hole.

Her gentle, crimson lips curved into a faint arc, then she put her hands together and said softly:

"What am I doing? Of course, doing your favorite thing!"

"I'm starting~"
