22: Chu Tianlan Being Seduced
Tap~ Tap~ Tap~
Hollow footsteps echoed from the stairwell.
In apartnt buildings with elevators, this thod of traveling by stairs seed sowhat strange, only chosen during earthquakes or fires.
As for why Su Mo and Chu Tianlan were currently taking the stairs?
The reason was simple—the room Chu Tianlan was renting was two floors below her residence, in Room 1603 of Weiyang Apartnts Building 11.
According to Chu Tianlan, when Weiyang Apartnts initially went on pre-sale, because people didn't understand apartnts back then and few bought them, the developer created a special opening event to promote sales: 10% off for buying one apartnt, 20% off for two, 25% off for three.
Since the large flat on the 18th floor that Father and Mother Chu liked was too large, buying it alone wasn't cost-effective. So the Chu family directly bought three units with a grand gesture: 1703 for her brother, 1603 for Chu Tianlan, and the 18th floor for Father and Mother Chu.
Hearing Chu Tianlan calmly recount her experience of acquiring property, Su Mo was honestly sowhat shocked.
Emmmmmmmm do rich people buy houses this boldly?
Unlike ordinary families' only children, Su Mo had twin brother and sister, making theirs a special five-person household.
Her parents were just ordinary civil servants from the suburbs. Although life was stable and not impoverished, regarding buying houses, from her father still having 12 years of mortgage paynts remaining and having an older brother, Su Mo knew her future house-buying road was very distant.
Now seeing Chu Tianlan, only one year older than herself, already owning property, Su Mo would be lying if she said she wasn't envious.
As for Chu Tianlan's reason for renting out the house?
Su Mo had also inquired and wasn't surprised by the answer.
Since the 18th floor large flat had an attic with many extra rooms, and in recent years Chu Tianlan's brother often left the two little ones with Father and Mother Chu, while Chu Tianlan liked taking care of people plus the two little ones were adorable nephew and niece with blood relations, Room 1603 beca vacant for increasingly long periods, used only a few tis per month. So a few days ago, eting the part-ti job guy at the entrance, Chu Tianlan decided to rent it out.
With only two floors of height, Su Mo and Chu Tianlan soon arrived at Room 1603's entrance.
Just as Su Mo was wondering where Chu Tianlan in her little white dress would pull out keys, as Chu Tianlan approached the door, Xiao Ai's smart voice sounded from inside, and the door opened naturally.
"Ding~ Face verification passed. Welco ho, master."
Following behind Chu Tianlan, Su Mo was sowhat amazed at this scene.
Although she had seen many electronic door face recognition systems online, this was her first ti seeing the real thing.
Entering the room with curiosity, Su Mo imdiately slled a faint fragrance with a girl's living atmosphere. The scent was sowhat similar to the lavender sll on Chu Tianlan, conveying a comfortable, reassuring atmosphere. Just slling this fragrance made Su Mo develop favorable feelings toward this room.
Taking off her shoes at the entrance and putting on the male disposable slippers Chu Tianlan had prepared for tenants, Su Mo admired how worthy the other was of being Student Council President—so thoughtful to consider even these small details.
However, after putting on the slippers, Su Mo's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Since becoming a girl yesterday, Su Mo's already small feet seed to have shrunk further, making the male slippers feel very loose. Moreover, being disposable slippers made of thin cloth material for environntal protection and recycling, they felt sowhat cool and inevitably hard when stepping on the floor.
This uncomfortable sensation made Su Mo nostalgic for Lin Muyao's pink soft slippers from this morning.
But only for an instant—Su Mo imdiately cast that thought from her mind.
Emmmmmm she was a boy, a boy. She was just doing missions now—why keep thinking about girls' items?
Chu Tianlan, putting on her house slippers, saw Su Mo delaying at the entrance after putting on slippers and thought of the slipper issue, looking toward Su Mo's feet.
After one glance, Chu Tianlan couldn't help but feel surprised.
Although height and foot size were proportional, and Su Mo was half a head shorter than herself so having smaller feet was normal, did boys really have such small feet? And for a boy, weren't these feet too slender and too fair?
With these two questions arising, another confusion Chu Tianlan hadn't understood before quickly erged.
Why exactly did Student Su Mo want to rent at 'Weiyang Apartnts'?
Su Mo didn't know that in the few seconds she stared at the slippers, Chu Tianlan beside her had already labeled her as 'mysterious.'
She also didn't know that when a girl begins to feel mysterious and curious about soone, it might very well be the beginning of her downfall.
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
After the brief slipper incident, Su Mo finally entered the small apartnt after being stunned for 3 seconds.
Just taking a simple walk through the house with Chu Tianlan, Su Mo had already fallen in love with this apartnt.
The 1603 apartnt wasn't large, appearing smaller than the apartnt Lin Muyao and An Xiaoqian lived in, with only one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom—about 45 square ters of usable space.
If it were for a three-person family to live and cook, the area might seem slightly small.
But although Su Mo had girlfriend Lin Muyao, it was ultimately just a contract—they couldn't live together at all. Using this room alone was more than sufficient.
All the walls in 1603 were light pale green, giving a refreshing feeling that made one's mood pleasant.
Whether it was the illusion of becoming a girl or not, Su Mo might not have appreciated this pale green wall color before, but now she thought it was quite nice.
Although the room's interior appeared sowhat empty since Chu Tianlan had removed many items in preparation for rental, whether from the clean tables and floors, neatly arranged objects, or well-maintained facilities, one could see the hoowner's love for the room.
Su Mo had thought this simple, clean room was already excellent enough. But when they reached the bedroom and Chu Tianlan casually said, "Xiao Ai, I want to watch a movie," watching the tech-filled automatic projector opening, automatic curtain closing, and ambient lighting activating in the room, Su Mo's amazent transford into shock.
Could it be... this small apartnt was actually the so-called whole-house smart customization from online?
That would an renting would be quite expensive. And for short-term rental, wouldn't it be even more expensive?
Seeing this, Su Mo felt sowhat anxious. She truly loved the house, but if the price was too high, she could only reluctantly give up.
But thinking of giving up such a great-slling and tech-savvy house made Su Mo's heart ache.
So after brief consideration, Su Mo finally nervously poked Chu Tianlan's waist. With limited funds in her pocket, Su Mo appeared sowhat anxious at this mont, her voice unconsciously weakening by two degrees.
"Um, President Chu, how much would short-term rental of this room for just one month cost?"
Chu Tianlan, who had been planning to demonstrate the room's features and automatic bathtub water-filling thod for Su Mo, felt a tickle at her waist and heard Su Mo's sowhat weak inquiry. Turning to et Su Mo's conflicted yet expectant gaze, she couldn't help but freeze.
Emmmmmm this Junior Su Mo was clearly a boy, so why did he now look sowhat like a lost little deer?
And strangely... strangely cute!
Made one want to hug him~
The feel should be quite nice!
But not now—their relationship wasn't familiar enough yet. Scaring him away would be terrible.
Faced with such pitifully adorable Su Mo, Chu Tianlan, who had originally planned to rent for 6500 per month due to the whole-house customization selling point online but intended to rent to Su Mo for 6000 per month, found her words changing to:
"5000 per month, Junior Su Mo."
After stating the price, even Chu Tianlan herself was sowhat incredulous.
Emmmmmm had she just been seduced?
How did her mouth change the price on its own?
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Su Mo had never imagined she could have such a rich day.
Early in the morning she had sneakily gotten up, secretly gotten a haircut from a sweet junior at the salon, t her girlfriend, then accompanied her to the theater set for acting. In the afternoon she switched to tutoring work for two little ones, and now she had directly rented her employer's house.
Near 5 PM at Weiyang Apartnts, since it was rush hour when workers got off work, vehicles were gradually increasing at the main entrance, and people were constantly entering the residential area past the security gate.
Su Mo, having just successfully rented Room 1603, was dazedly guided by Chu Tianlan to register for the residential access card, feeling the paper contract in her hands. At this mont she felt sowhat incredulous and unreal.
Emmmmmm had she successfully rented a house just like that?
Recalling last year when dorm leader Lin Kun discussed rental experiences in the dorm, according to his experience, renting required long negotiations with landlords about various details like water and electricity fees, plus pre-photographing furniture and walls—it was a patient, bargaining tug-of-war.
Resolving everything in one afternoon would be quite good.
Su Mo had originally thought that even if things went smoothly, completing all housing procedures would take until 8 PM.
But from viewing to signing contracts to now registering owner information with property managent, it seed less than half an hour had passed. Things developed too quickly, making Su Mo appear sowhat dim-witted.
Just as Su Mo hadn't fully accepted the situation, a fair small hand lightly touched her forehead. The finger was slender with a delicate, slightly cool touch, bringing Su Mo back to her senses.
"Junior Su Mo, snap out of it. This is the building's access card for taking elevators and opening corridor doors. You must keep it safe. Without it you can't enter the unit door or call elevators."
Looking at the card handed over by landlord employer Chu Tianlan's soft little hand, printed with her own na and the photo just taken at property managent, Su Mo, renting for the first ti in her life, felt sowhat excited thinking about having her own independent space. Although it was only temporary for one month, this house-owning experience still made her sowhat elated.
Thinking that this room was also a whole-house customized smart room and a house Chu Tianlan had lived in, this excitent amplified sowhat.
Standing beside her, Chu Tianlan watched Su Mo's fair little face, her feminine delicate features carrying a faint blush from excitent, like a little rabbit that had found a carrot...
Chu Tianlan didn't know why she could always see this vocabulary that didn't match boys on Junior Su Mo.
What puzzled Chu Tianlan even more was that looking at this weak young man only one year younger than herself, her body surprisingly had a strange desire to make contact with him.
This contact desire differed from unconsciously wanting to give care and attention when holding Chenchen and Ningning. It was more Chu Tianlan's body itself wanting to explore the 'mysterious' elents in Su Mo.
Chu Tianlan didn't know why she would have evil thoughts similar to boys online who wanted to see girls' clothing and undergarnts upon seeing beautiful girls.
At this mont she was only certain of one thing: regarding this weak Junior Su Mo, her personality of liking to take care of people seed to have begun developing interest.
To confirm her guess, Chu Tianlan lightly coughed. After attracting Su Mo's attention back, she said softly:
"Junior Su Mo, regarding rent, as we agreed in the contract just now, it's 5000 yuan per month. Your tutoring salary is 6000 yuan per month. At month's end, I'll deduct so electricity and water fees based on your usage, then pay your salary. Is that acceptable?"
While speaking, Chu Tianlan directly extended her delicate, smooth left hand toward Su Mo in a handshake gesture.
"Junior Su Mo, if there are no problems, then let's have a pleasant cooperation. Please take care of in the future!"
Su Mo looked at Chu Tianlan's extended slender palm, hearing the generous rental conditions from her red lips.
At this mont she increasingly understood why her roommate Wu Di would like Chu Tianlan.
Emmmmmm such a beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle and polite neighborly big sister—who wouldn't like her!
However, one thing puzzled Su Mo slightly. Although they were both schoolmates and adults, this handshake etiquette sohow felt off sowhere?
Could it be Chu Tianlan's habit as president?
Although Su Mo felt sothing was vaguely amiss, facing Chu Tianlan's gentle extended hand looking at her, the next second she still extended her fair little hand.
Feeling the gentleness and softness transmitted from her palm, Su Mo's heart began beating rapidly again for who knows how many tis today. Fortunately, having experience from acting with Lin Muyao's handshake this morning, although her heart beat vigorously, it was still within an acceptable range.
At this mont Su Mo felt sowhat fortunate. If there hadn't been this morning's rehearsal scene and she had directly shaken hands with President Chu now, with her heart feeling uncomfortable and collapsing unable to get up, that would have been embarrassing.
However, speaking of which, how many seconds should a handshake last?
President Chu...
Why hasn't she let go yet?
