On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
What he found even more interesting was that Su Yuqing wasn't completely relaxed while reading comics. "Sometimes, as she was looking at something, her eyes would suddenly light up like a light bulb, filled with an excited "I understand! Then she would quickly glance around (especially when he looked over, she would seem particularly guilty), and swiftly pull out that familiar hard-covered notebook from deep inside her bag.
Although Chen Mo didn't understand, he saw that Su Yuqing hadn't neglected her studies.
Moreover, his performance on the copybook was quite good, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
What he found even more interesting was that Su Yuqing wasn't completely relaxed while reading comics.
Her brows furrowed slightly at times and relaxed at others; her fingertips slid rapidly across the screen, but her eyes remained unusually focused, as if she were conducting some kind of serious "academic research.

" light.
Then she would quickly glance around (especially when he looked over, she would seem particularly guilty), and swiftly pull out that familiar hard-covered notebook from deep inside her bag.
She would turn her back to him, blocking his view with her body, and scribble something down.
After taking notes, she would casually put the notebook back and continue flipping through the comics, as if the inspiration she had just experienced was just her imagination.
Chen Mo was both amused and exasperated.
What on earth is this girl up to?
Studying romance comics as "teaching materials"?
Although her grades haven't fallen behind, wouldn't it be better to use that same tenacity in the final sprint?
However, seeing her sneaky yet incredibly earnest demeanor, her pure clumsiness and cuteness softened his heart.
Well, as long as she's happy and it doesn't affect our work, let her be.
He believed that Su Yuqing knew how to behave.
Zhao Yueyue smiled knowingly at the sight.
Because she finally understood why Su Yuqing was befriending Wang Susu.
I also know what Su Yuqing has been up to lately.
It wasn't that Wang Susu was being nosy.
Rather, Su Yuqing desperately needs the help of her advisor.
She didn't have many staff officers she could find, and Zhao Yueyue was naturally one of them.
Through this opportunity, Zhao Yueyue finally learned what Su Yuqing had been secretly doing behind Chen Mo's back.
Of course, her involvement was not something Su Yuqing actively recruited; rather, it was simply a matter of going with the flow after she was discovered.
After all, Zhao Yueyue had no dating experience and was very close to Chen Mo.
Su Yuqing was afraid that if Zhao Yueyue found out about this, she would expose it to Chen Mo in advance, so she didn't tell Zhao Yueyue in the first place.
But it was discovered later, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
It was during this morning's break.
As usual, Zhao Yueyue skipped over to Su Yuqing's desk, intending to share the gossip she had just heard about in the grade.
However, she happened to catch Su Yuqing frantically stuffing her "Love Strategy" notebook deep into her drawer.
"Oh dear!
" Zhao Yueyue reacted quickly, grabbing Su Yuqing's wrist.
She happened to see the words "Confession Plan" on the notebook that Su Yuqing hadn't fully graduated yet.
A sly and knowing smile immediately appeared on her face.
She lowered her voice and said, "Yuqing!
I caught you!
You've been acting all mysterious these past few days, even keeping it from me.
So you've been up to this 'big plan' all along!
"Su Yuqing's face flushed red, like a ripe tomato, and her eyes darted nervously towards Chen Mo—luckily, Chen Mo had been pulled outside by Zhou Hao to talk about something.
"Yueyue!
Keep your voice down!
" Even though Zhao Yueyue had lowered her voice, it still sounded like thunder to Su Yuqing.
"Hehe, don't worry, Mo-ge is chatting with boys from other classes outside, he can't hear you.
" Zhao Yueyue leaned closer, winking and making faces.
"How could your 'confession campaign' be complete without me?
I knew it was weird that you've been getting so close to Wang Susu lately!
Come on, tell me the truth!
How far have things progressed?
Do you need a strategist?
I have plenty of good ideas!
"She patted her ample chest, displaying a confident "I've got this covered" attitude.
Looking into her friend's bright, gossipy, and enthusiastic eyes, Su Yuqing's secret fortress instantly crumbled.
The pressure and confusion of planning alone seem to have found an outlet at this moment.
"You must promise me that you won't let Chen Mo know beforehand, not even the slightest hint.
"“No problem, I can even cover for you.
Just say you’re planning his birthday party or something,” Zhao Yueyue said, her mind racing.
This excuse was quite suitable for getting rid of Chen Mo.
Su Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded gently, her face showing a shy yet pleading expression: "Um...
I've been thinking about confessing my feelings lately...
but I really don't know what to do.
I was originally going to ask Wang Susu for her confession advice...
"It turned out that her experience of confessing her feelings was completely unsuitable for me.
"I knew it!
" Zhao Yueyue was so excited she almost jumped up, then quickly covered her mouth, looked around warily, and pulled Su Yuqing toward a relatively quiet corner of the corridor outside the classroom.
"Come on, come on, this isn't the place to talk!
Let's find a safe place to plot something!
"A few minutes later, the two hid in a small stairwell leading to the rooftop of the teaching building.
Few people usually come here; only in the afternoon, when the sunlight shines through the high windows in a few beams, and dust particles float in the air.
Su Yuqing carefully took out her notebook, which had been flipped through and was slightly curled at the edges, and turned to the page with the four big words "Confession Plan" written on it.
Below are some scattered thoughts, but most of them have been crossed out:~~After graduation ceremony?
(Too many people, too noisy, doesn't seem special enough...
)~~~~His birthday?
(Wouldn't that steal the spotlight from his birthday celebration?
Especially since the anniversary of my confession and his birthday overlap later, it would be a shame to miss out on a significant day...
)~~How about a special gift for him?
(A watch?
A pen?
Too ordinary...
not meaningful enough...
)Should I just say "I like you"?
(Wouldn't that be too simplistic?...
)~~Reference to a manga… a confession under a cherry blossom tree?
(But our school doesn't have those kinds of cherry blossom trees, and while it looks romantic in the manga, it seems a bit too casual in real life…)~~……The words are filled with entanglement and uncertainty.
Zhao Yueyue leaned closer and exclaimed, "Wow, Yuqing, your planner is even more meticulous than my error notebook!
"She pointed to the crossed-out items, "I understand your concerns!
Your relationship with Mo Ge isn't just an ordinary campus romance; it's about a lifetime commitment!
This confession ceremony has to be earth-shattering and unforgettable!
""Earth-shattering?
" Su Yuqing was startled.
"No need...
I just hope...
it's serious enough, sincere enough, so he can feel my earnestness...
"As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her face turned red again.
"Relax, relax, I understand!
" Zhao Yueyue waved her hand, her eyes darting around as her brain raced.
"It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it has to be special enough, and thoughtful enough, right?
Location, time, method, gift, lines...
everything is essential!
"She snatched the pen from Su Yuqing's hand.
"Come here, let this strategist give you some advice!
