50: Is It an Illusion?
"Junior Su Mo, let see you off!"
At seven-thirty in the evening, with the obedient cooperation of the two little ones, Su Mo finally completed today's tutoring task, even going above and beyond by having the two little ones morize three additional ancient poems.
After politely declining Father Chu and Mother Chu's 'special' invitation to stay for dinner, Su Mo was about to head ho when she saw Chu Tianlan following her out.
Tonight, Chu Tianlan was wearing a light purple dress with a very hoy feel. It must be said that purple really matched her gentle and tranquil aura as a neighborly big sister.
Combined with Chu Tianlan's good figure, just looking at her brought feelings of stability and beauty to one's heart.
"President Chu... it's just two floors, no need to..."
Thinking that her ho was just in Room 1603, only two floors away, completely unnecessary for soone to see her off, Su Mo was about to politely decline based on her ingrained politeness.
But before she could finish speaking, she was gently silenced by Chu Tianlan's warm, jade-like hand covering her mouth.
Feeling the warmth brought by that soft palm, Su Mo was slightly surprised.
The surprise wasn't about the action Chu Tianlan had taken.
As a neighborly big sister, Chu Tianlan making this gesture similar to doting on a little brother felt completely natural. And similar scenes had played out last night too, so Su Mo could accept this.
What really surprised Su Mo was that, whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt that Chu Tianlan's warm little hand seed to be intentionally or unintentionally touching the corners of her lips. Although it didn't hurt, it felt quite forceful.
Was it an illusion?
Just as Su Mo was feeling puzzled, Chu Tianlan's tily words interrupted his thoughts.
"Junior Su, I ca out because I have sothing to tell you. Let's go downstairs first and talk at your place!"
Looking at Chu Senior, who said "let's talk at your place" as casually as if she were drinking water, with such a nonchalant manner.
At this mont, Su Mo, who was still disguised as a boy, had quite complex feelings.
For a mont, she didn't know whether to be glad that such a beautiful woman was voluntarily entering her ho, or to be sad that as a boy, she apparently couldn't give a girl any sense of danger.
Although her feelings were complex, thinking that Chu Tianlan might really have sothing important to discuss, Su Mo cooperatively walked downstairs with her.

Walking to the door of Room 1603, perhaps because Chu Tianlan had been the room's owner for quite a long ti.
The smart room door automatically opened with security clearance upon Chu Tianlan's arrival.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo thought about it but didn't say anything.
After all, she was just a guest renting for a month, and soone like Chu Tianlan, such a neighborly big sister, how could she possibly enter her little nest without her permission? She wasn't like An Xiaoqian, that evil black-hearted loli who would delete the smart lock recognition, which would be troubleso instead!
Following Chu Tianlan back to his little nest, Su Mo was glad that she had properly tidied up the sofa when she went to An Xiaoqian's house for makeup, cleaning the stained sofa cover and wiping the floor thoroughly.
Otherwise, if the stains had been seen by Chu Tianlan, his image in her heart would probably have dropped significantly!
Just as Su Mo was breathing a sigh of relief about cleaning the house, Chu Tianlan, who had entered the room, furrowed her delicate brows in confusion.
As everyone knows, a room's scent changes according to its different owners.
In just one day and night, this little Room 1603 no longer carried its previous lavender scent but was filled with the faint fragrance emanating from Su Mo's body.
Slling this faint fragrance in the room and seeing no traces of other won having lived there.
Chu Tianlan relaxed slightly. It seed it wasn't sothing Su Mo had picked up when spending ti with his girlfriend Lin Muyao, but should be Su Mo's own scent.
But the problem was, why would Su Mo, as a boy, wear perfu?
Could it be that Lin Muyao liked it?
Thinking of the question her mother had just entrusted her with, Chu Tianlan sat on the sofa, poured water for both herself and Su Mo, then gently inquired.
"Junior Su Mo, the perfu you're wearing slls really good. Can you tell what brand it is?"
Su Mo had originally thought that what Chu Tianlan wanted to discuss would be about tutoring.
After all, during today's class, Chu Tianlan had been listening from behind the whole ti, and Su Mo could feel that Father Chu and Mother Chu were always lurking by the door, occasionally peeking to see if he was studying, just like his own parents during high school.
Su Mo had been prepared to accept criticism, but unexpectedly, Chu Tianlan was asking about this.
However, regarding this question, she found it difficult to answer for a mont.
After all, she had signed a confidentiality agreent with the Challenge System, and couldn't talk about challenge missions and such. Most importantly, this scent wasn't from any perfu, but was actually her own body fragrance that erged after gaining the new skill.
But how could she explain this to Chu Tianlan?
Even telling the truth, no one would believe it!
Her CPU running at high speed, Su Mo finally set her sights on the essential oil in the trash can, her eyes lighting up.
"President Chu, I'm a big man, how would I wear perfu? It's probably because I used this thing this afternoon."
Chu Tianlan looked at the bath ball gift that she had brought Su Mo yesterday, feeling that sothing was off, but thinking that Su Mo, as a boy, indeed shouldn't be wearing perfu, she didn't say anything and decided to try it herself when she got ho.
After silently morizing the small bottle's brand in her mind, Chu Tianlan elegantly took a sip of water, then placed an English exam book on the table and stated the main purpose of her visit.
"Junior Su Mo, I saw that your college entrance exam English score was quite good. Could I ask you to tutor in English Level 6 after you finish tutoring Ningning and Chenchen each day? Please."
Su Mo looked at the exercise book labeled "English Level 6" placed on the table, feeling sowhat surprised.
College entrance exam scores and university English Level 6 seed to have no connection!
Was President Chu trying any redy in desperation?
Afraid of misleading her since this was beyond his study range, Su Mo was about to decline when she heard Chu Tianlan continue.
"That is... I just can't concentrate when studying alone. Today in the study, listening to you teach Ningning and Chenchen felt very calming. You just need to accompany while I study, and I'll pay you too."
Hearing that Chu Tianlan's request was just for companionship and didn't require tutoring, Su Mo, who had received much care from her yesterday, quickly waved her hands and spoke.
"Senior Chu, you're too kind. You've already taken great care of with the rent. I won't charge for accompanying your studies. I happened to pass Level 4 and will be taking Level 6 later too, so studying this with you would be mutually beneficial."
Hearing Su Mo's response, the corners of Chu Tianlan's crimson lips curved into a faint smile.
She then directly opened the English Level 6 exercise book and very naturally patted the chair beside her.
"Teacher Su, co sit here!"
Looking at the gentle, neighborly big sister Chu Tianlan with her curved eyebrows and ladylike image.
At this mont, Su Mo sohow felt her sixth sense generate a dangerous premonition.
Shaking her head to dispel this feeling from her mind.
How could the upright President Chu, like a neighborly big sister, have any ulterior motives toward her? How could she possibly have bad intentions?
Monts later, slling the unique lavender fragrance from Chu Tianlan in her nostrils.
Su Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled. Was it an illusion?
Why did she always feel that the distance was getting too close, and why did Senior Chu keep inadvertently touching her hand?
Well, she was probably overthinking it...
