When Lin Mo brought Su Ran home, her state of mind was clearly a bit distant.
She didn’t say anything, but Lin Mo roughly knew that Teacher Zhou Muyuan had a significant influence on her, especially since it would be difficult to explain things to her mother.
“Let’s go, I’ll walk you up.”
“Huh?”
Su Ran was just about to take off her coat when Lin Mo helped her zip it back up. He was a bit forceful and slightly overbearing.
Su Ran froze for a moment, then her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pretty face flushed red. She really liked this side of Lin Mo. This feeling of being controlled by him allowed her to feel his emotions even more. It was a subtle sensation.
She couldn’t tell if this was Lin Mo’s care, his possessiveness, or simply an unquestionable command. Regardless, it was all directed at her, and she was the center of his attention, which made her very satisfied.
“What’s wrong? We’ve already met once. Are you suddenly unwilling to let me see your parents now?”
Lin Mo didn’t know what was going on in this girl’s head. Blushing at the drop of a hat really made it easy for his mind to wander.
“No, that’s not it…” Su Ran shook her head hurriedly and explained anxiously, “I’m afraid my mother will make things difficult for you. She always says such harsh things; I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy.”
She wouldn’t lie to him; she was telling the truth.
Lin Mo intentionally pulled a long face and said, “Are you afraid I’ll be unhappy, or are you trying to hide a compromise with your mother from me? Are you planning to secretly go take that Teacher Zhou’s classes on your own?”
“No! I wouldn’t!”
“I… I…”
Su Ran immediately grew frantic. Her face turned pale in an instant, and a hint of terror even appeared in her eyes. She didn’t understand why Lin Mo would say such a thing or why he would doubt her.
In her panic, she glanced around. Seeing that there were no people passing by at the bottom of the building, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lin Mo. Taking the opportunity, she unzipped her coat, grabbed his hand, and anxiously stuffed it inside.
Although they were separated by her school uniform and underwear, and even though he couldn’t see, it was precisely because it was hidden that the heavy and full sensation felt even more stimulating.
Lin Mo’s expression didn’t change, but in reality, stormy waves were crashing in his heart. ‘Some *yandere* behaviors can really catch a guy off guard,’ he reflected.
Besides… some things were truly difficult to grasp.
Su Ran looked at him pitifully and said in a soft, coquettish voice, “I won’t. I won’t go look for that person. I’ll be good and obedient. Please don’t leave me, okay?”
Lin Mo couldn’t keep a straight face anymore and laughed. “Alright, alright. I was just teasing you. Don’t be nervous.”
Su Ran clearly didn’t process what he said. She pushed herself forward. Welcoming that thick warmth against her, she bit her lip and began to twist and rub against him proactively.
The thing was, when Lin Mo tried to pull his hand back, she wouldn’t let him.
“I’ll be obedient… don’t leave me…”
“Will you really be obedient?”
“I will!”
“Then did you hear me say I was teasing you?”
“Mm…”
Su Ran was instantly frozen as if her pressure points had been struck. It felt like her left brain was attacking her right brain, causing her to crash. Seeing her dazed expression, Lin Mo felt like he had discovered a new trick. He took the opportunity to pull his hand back and pulled a long face again. “You didn’t hear me, did you?”
“I… I heard you~”
“Are you still going to make a fuss?”
Su Ran shook her head nervously, indicating she wouldn’t, but her eyes were still full of worry. She instinctively looked at Lin Mo’s hand, obediently suppressing the urge to stuff it back in.
Lin Mo saw right through her, and he suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. ‘I just wanted to find a reason to walk her home,’ he realized. ‘Who knew she was so sensitive to teasing? If I don’t comfort her, there’s no telling what she’ll dream up.’
He also looked around and saw a small alley next to the building. Suddenly, he felt an itch. Since this girl was so wild in public, he might as well take the chance to discipline her.
“But since you just made a fuss, for the sake of fairness, I’m going to make one too.”
Without giving Su Ran a chance to react, Lin Mo pulled her toward the alley.
It was already 6:00 PM when they arrived at the conservatory. After all that back and forth, the sky was already completely dark. The streetlights didn’t reach here, making the alley even darker.
Su Ran was a bit scared, though not of the dark. She was afraid Lin Mo would misunderstand her relationship with Teacher Zhou Muyuan. She followed obediently as she was pulled along, still thinking about how to explain and prove herself, when Lin Mo suddenly pulled hard, throwing her into the darkest corner against the wall.
Then she saw Lin Mo crouch down in front of her. While she was filled with surprise and doubt, she suddenly felt a familiar heavy sensation on her thigh.
It was his hand!
Su Ran’s eyes widened in shock. Looking down, she saw that Lin Mo seemed to have raised his head, but she couldn’t see his face — not because the alley was too dark, but because it was blocked by her skirt!
Sometimes, happiness comes that suddenly. As Lin Mo got up close and personal, Su Ran immediately felt the sensation of hair brushing against her legs. Like the stroking of a feather, it caused her whole body to freeze instantly, a chill running down her spine. Immediately after came a hot, flowing breath, surging toward her with unavoidable precision.
“Mnh…”
Su Ran reflexively reached out her hands, but not to push Lin Mo away. Instead, she cradled his head. In the blink of any eye, her lips pursed into a wavy line, and her eyes shimmered with obsession in the darkness.
Any misunderstandings, worries, and anxieties were tossed to the back of her mind. To be precise, it was Lin Mo’s physical actions that allowed her to feel the truest sense of being cherished.
—
On the street, a few pedestrians walked by occasionally. No one noticed that two high school students were “cherishing” each other in the alley.
However, there was an old lady who, as she passed by, happened to hear some strange grunting and humming coming from the alley. She stopped and strained her eyes to see. The lady was old and her eyesight wasn’t great. She could vaguely see someone leaning against the wall with a leg raised, seemingly riding a dark shadow.
It was lucky the old lady was timid and didn’t dare walk into the alley for a closer look; she also hadn’t been exposed to ACG culture, or she might have asked which knight was slaying the dragon.
After a long while, the dragon hadn’t been slain, but the hero was exhausted to the point of collapse. As she was led out of the alley, Su Ran felt like she was walking on air. Her head was hung low, her face so red it looked like it could drip blood.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was refreshed. He really looked like a delinquent student from an anime, looking back every few steps to admire the short and dark pleated skirt on the school beauty.
“Still going to make a fuss?”
Su Ran shook her head quickly, but then, thinking of something, she hurriedly nodded.
This time Lin Mo knew what she was thinking. She probably meant she wouldn’t make a fuss because she didn’t want to make him angry, but she wanted to continue doing that in the future, so she would continue to “make a fuss.”
Lin Mo couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile. He leaned into Su Ran’s ear and whispered softly, “Su Ran, you really are so good.”
Su Ran trembled slightly. She felt like Lin Mo’s voice was electric. It was so intoxicating that her legs went weak. ‘He’s so bad. It’s wonderful.’
When they entered the building lobby, Su Ran pulled Lin Mo toward the staircase. She needed some time to calm down; the elevator was too fast, and her mother would see right through her.
However, she forgot one thing: Lin Mo had said he was going to make a fuss, but he hadn’t said for how long.
The stairwell was very quiet, lit by motion-sensor lights. Moreover, Su Ran’s steps were soft as she climbed the stairs, her delicate manner making one unable to resist teasing her. As everyone knows, a state where one is holding back from entering “Sage Mode” is the most vulnerable to temptation.
Su Ran had to stop almost every two steps because Lin Mo’s hands wouldn’t stay still. One moment they were on her waist; the next, they slipped inside her coat. Suddenly, he would pin her against the wall; then, he would have her lean against the wall with her back to him.
“Mmm… Lin Mo…”
Su Ran loved it when Lin Mo acted naughty with her, but they were almost at her front door. She was afraid her mother would make things difficult for Lin Mo. If they were caught, she didn’t know what would happen. Most importantly, her black stockings were already damp and even stained with a bit of white.
Seeing her leaning on the handrail, looking back at him with pleading eyes, Lin Mo felt a great sense of accomplishment. He pulled her up and kissed her small mouth again.
For the first time, Su Ran offered some resistance to Lin Mo, but it was only a gentle push. When she couldn’t push him away, she gave up, closed her eyes, and responded obediently. He liked her being good. So, she would be very, very good.
It took the two of them nearly 30 minutes to reach the fourth floor. By the time they arrived at the front door, Su Ran was still dazed and her face was still red. It was because Lin Mo had taken something of hers, which he was currently stuffing into his pocket with a mischievous grin.
She lowered her eyes, smoothed her skirt in embarrassment, and then took out her key to open the door.
“Mom, I’m back.”
“Why are you so…”
Before the word “late” could leave her mouth, Mrs. Su Qingwan froze as she came to greet her. Su Ran also froze. Lin Mo’s eyes widened.
Mrs. Su had obviously just finished a shower; she was only wearing a bath towel. Compared to the oppressive ice goddess she had seemed when they first met, she was currently a veritable furnace. Even from several meters away, one could feel the alluring warmth radiating from her body.
She was well-maintained, with skin as delicate as a newborn’s, and the pinkish hue after her bath made her look incredibly tender. It was also clear now where Su Ran’s excellent figure came from. A bath towel could wrap around many things, but it couldn’t contain such a curvaceous figure. Mrs. Su stood at over 5 feet 7 inches tall, a perfect S-curve. The towel was narrow at the top and short at the bottom, bulging as if it were about to burst, with the lower edge only reaching the tops of her thighs.
Everything below that was just long, pale pink legs — legs longer than Lin Mo’s lifespan in his previous life.
The fire Lin Mo had just suppressed flared up again instantly. He was the first to snap out of it, abruptly turning around to look at the stairs.
Mrs. Su’s expression changed immediately, and she rushed toward her room. Seeing her mother in such a hurry, completely lacking her usual composed and majestic aura, Su Ran actually felt relieved and tugged on Lin Mo.
“Don’t mind her. She’s always like this at home. Come in and wait. I… I’ll go to my room first.”
After saying that, she ran off, much like her mother, scurrying away like a thief.
Lin Mo didn’t enter the house immediately but waited outside the door until Mrs. Su’s voice drifted out.
“Lin Mo, do you need something?”
Perhaps her sudden loss of composure had made her a bit annoyed, as her tone was even colder than before. Lin Mo sighed inwardly and simply changed his strategy. He turned and entered the house, asking straightforwardly, “What is your relationship with Teacher Zhou?”
In just a few minutes, Mrs. Su had changed into a woman’s suit, complete with a hip-hugging skirt and high heels. Her hair was tied up, and she even had a watch on her wrist. It had to be said that this woman was meticulous from head to toe, inside and out. She was refined, but refined to a point that was a bit abnormal.
“Teacher Zhou? You mean Muyuan?”
Mrs. Su’s attention was immediately diverted. She didn’t mind Lin Mo’s rudeness but gestured for him to sit on the sofa while she pondered his intent for coming to ask this specifically. Lin Mo sat down unceremoniously, neither rushing her nor asking again.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su’s heart sank, guessing that something must have happened with Su Ran.
“I used to work at the conservatory as well. He could be considered my junior. Going back even further, his teacher was also my teacher.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Su sat down opposite Lin Mo. She sat bolt upright, her legs habitually pressed together and angled to the right, her hands resting gently on her lap. An invisible elegance settled over her, and an indescribable air of high society washed over him.
If not for the lingering hint of red in her cold expression, Lin Mo would have thought that what he had just seen was a hallucination. This only strengthened his resolve. Su Ran wasn’t easy to comfort, and Mrs. Su was clearly even harder to handle.
‘Neither this mother nor her daughter can be handled with normal methods,’ Lin Mo decided. ‘I can only get them to listen to reason by fighting fire with fire.’
Lin Mo steadied himself, faced Mrs. Su’s scrutiny, and slowly uttered, “Have you slept with him?”
