At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"What? Nana's in love too?"

Miya blinked and asked curiously.

"No, no, it's just that I have a friend who seems to really want to win the Mosse trophy... but half of his teammates are newbies, and the other one is my student."

"Ah... is it possible to get that trophy?"

Miya was worried for him, "If they encounter a stronger team, won't they just be wiped out?"

"Hmm...yes, hopefully they can go further in this game. If they make it to the end and run into us, that would be interesting."

"Um...do you need to turn on the water?"

The child blinked.

"No, that's not necessary. You need to use your full strength; I want to see him cry."

Jiang Nai gave the evil instruction.

-

……

The person on the other side was unaware that they had been set up.

At this moment, he was leading his cat on the way to Yuan Xiao's house for lodging.

He carried a violin on his back and a large black bag containing equipment and toiletries.

An Qing was carrying several shopping bags, which were souvenirs she had bought in advance at the supermarket, saying that someone would make a late-night snack if she got hungry later.

It was 8:30 p.m., a perfect time for nightlife to begin.

"By the way... this is my first time staying at someone else's house."

"Really? Doesn't my family count?"

"Hmph, that's not boarding school, that's...that's..."

An Qing wanted to say that it was like a parasite, like a nibbling away.

But then I felt I was being too wicked and couldn't reveal my true intentions.

So they chose a cute way to express it: "Looking for a suitable owner."

"Oh…"

Su Che smiled and said, "You have a good eye."

Of course~

She gave a sweet reply, but then she thought of Yuan Xiao, the wildcat she was about to meet, and her mood soured.

"what happened?"

Su Che noticed her expression and asked.

“Yuan Xiao and I exchanged harsh words before, and it was about you…”

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to speak out.

"mine?"

"Yes, she said I valued women more than friends, and I said she was a rebellious disciple who offended her master and had ill intentions."

"..."

Su Che remained silent. "So, you guys were planning to form a newbie duo, right?"

"Yes, she wanted to start a landmine-themed girl band, and then she grabbed me at the bar entrance."

"... "

Good guy.

Su Che pondered that if he hadn't intervened, the two of them would have really started playing house like little girls.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like without Yu tide and the little newbie group.

When did Yuan Xiao mention me to you?

"It was a long time ago, right when you first started teaching her the piano. She was so happy, always bragging to me about how handsome and kind her teacher was, and how she was lucky to learn the piano from him. I didn't really believe it at first, because I thought, no matter how kind he is, he's not as kind as Cheche... um..."

The girl stopped talking at that point.

The sense of melancholy is distinct.

Su Che knew she was being targeted, so he chuckled and tightened his grip on her right palm with his left, thus smoothly changing the subject.

-

Soon, the two arrived at the residential area where Yuan Xiao lived.

An Qing's first reaction was that it looked very expensive and made people feel rich.

But when she reached the front gate and saw the seal, and was told that she had to go around to the back gate and climb over the balcony, she realized that Yuan Xiao's life was not entirely carefree after all.

"What's going on...? Was her residence mortgaged?"

"More or less. I reckon her father is struggling with debt collectors and is on the verge of collapse."

Su Che shook his head and opened the balcony door of Yuan Xiao's house with practiced ease.

"No, how do you have a key to her house?"

"what…"

"Cheche, tell me the truth, how many other people's house keys do you have? You don't have Gu Zhi's too, do you?"

"No, we don't have that."

Sweating profusely, Su Che hid the keychain.

I made quite a few mistakes today because I was having too much fun playing maimai with Miya, which made me miss the details.

Fortunately, Yuan Xiao, who was inside the house, heard the commotion and immediately put down her zither, meowing as she ran over to the rescue.

"Shi Hu! Huai Qing! Come on!"

A cheerful voice approached from afar.

Looking around, it's clear the child dressed up carefully today.

Her hair was still wet, which meant she had taken a shower recently.

The clothes I'm wearing are Sanrio print chain T-shirts from Amilige, a purely Japanese brand, and they're not cheap.

Her cute little expression was beaming with a smile, but it was obvious that the smile was directed at Su Che, and had nothing to do with the other girl.

"...I'm not bad."

An Qing didn't seem very happy with her new nickname, only making a comment:

"I didn't expect your house to be so big."

"Hehe! Of course, it's specially prepared for A-Che!"

"what?"

"how?"

"Small breasts, big ambitions."

"mud!"

Before they had exchanged more than three sentences, both of them were already a little flushed.

Su Che reacted quickly, stepping between the two of them and saying with a smile, "Let's go inside first. Yuan Xiao, I bought you some food—snacks, pastries, and sweet drinks. Please open them and put them in the fridge for me later. And An Qing, come on, let's set up the equipment and get the microphones ready."

"it is good."

Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile, and it's almost predictable that if I'm not there for even a second, the two women will start fighting and it will be a close call.

"By the way! Ah Che, you're not leaving tonight, are you? You're going to sleep in my room, right?"

"..."

Su Che stiffened upon hearing this and corrected him, "Sleep on the floor."

"No, no! I have plenty of rooms! Besides, my bed is 2 meters by 2 meters, I can't possibly fit myself in it!"

"That's fine too..."

"Hey, if it really doesn't work out, how about just the three of us? It doesn't matter where we lie down. Besides, we might stay up all night, so we're not even sure if we'll get any sleep."

Yuan Xiao learned some bad tricks from somewhere, which effectively paralyzed Su Che and left An Qing speechless.

Normally, at home, An Qing would definitely stick close to Su Che, but now that they are visiting from afar, and having promised Su Che beforehand that she "would not have a direct confrontation with him," An Qing turned a blind eye to Yuan Xiao's requests.

The privileges I enjoy every day, you can only strive for occasionally, perhaps once in half a lifetime.

Without realizing it, I felt a sense of joy.

"Okay, then, you two sleep on one side, and I'll sleep on the other. Two meters is definitely enough to lay flat."

Su Che did not refuse again.

then……

The fake rehearsal has begun.

-

The arrangements for this evening are as follows:

Su Che first taught Yuan Xiao to play the new song and understand the rhythm part, then let An Qing practice singing by herself in the next room.

Once An Qing had practiced enough and Yuan Xiao was also doing a decent job, the three of them performed a basic duet.

1 vocal + dual guitars, drum kit and bass playback samples, keyboard not added for now, listen to the effect.

At first, both women naturally thought it was fine and there were no problems.

But when An Qing discovered...

Su Che had been teaching Yuan Xiao to play the piano, step by step, all the time...

Note that this was a hands-on, step-by-step process, requiring him to manually correct any incorrect finger techniques. His face was practically touching his own, and Yuan Xiao even leaned closer to him—
