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

...

...

One hour later.

The all-powerful master sent the message to her mobile phone.

[Wu You Solo Recital: New Pieces Showcase - Tianhai Grand Theatre, First Floor Concert Hall]

[Invited bands: A. "Boundless", B. "Seven Colors". The person Xiaoya is looking for is in band B. I got 10 tickets from the dean; you can bring your friends to see it.]

"Thank you, teacher."

The happy kitten's face beamed with contentment.

Once again, I felt that it was wonderful to be able to learn piano from an all-powerful teacher at Tianhai.

"Now, Su Che can't stop me from spying on him."

"whee."

Miya's two hobbies are very simple.

In summary, it boils down to "eavesdropping" and "peeping".

However, the prerequisite is that "one should only pursue hobbies with people they care about".

There was no one I cared about before.

It was added as one a few days ago.

"Xiaoya, what are you laughing at? You seem so happy."

In "Flower Room Live"

Miss Ari smiled as she watched the little one walk into the store, feeling that even the weather seemed brighter because of the child's innocent smile.

It was raining outside.

"Ah...it's nothing, Ari-neechan, I'm just in a good mood..."

The child was timid and hesitant to speak loudly.

Every time my child sees Vocal sitting in front of the easel sketching art, he has hallucinations and dreams of a goddess.

After all, Ari's entire demeanor was completely out of place in Tenkai's world; looking around, the only environment in the entire house that could be considered suitable for her presence was...

It's in one of her hand-drawn paintings.

From Lian Ya's perspective, Ari-san's white dress reached the ground.

Xingyin's long, silver hair cascades down her back, her profile is flawlessly beautiful, and she appeals to men, women, young and old alike, her charm captivating hearts.

Such an older sister can become my "teammate".

Lian Ya couldn't imagine how much money the organizers had spent and what terrible price they had paid to get Ari-san to join.

"Sister, I want to... ask you a question..."

"Ok?"

Seeing the tiny kitten muster the courage to speak to her, Ari smiled and stopped painting, glancing at her sideways.

"Sure. Xiaoya, is there anything you'd like to know?"

"I...I want to know, does my sister have someone she likes...? Because I see my sister always by herself, whether it's singing or painting, she's always alone, and it seems like she spends all her time on these two things and doesn't do anything else."

I asked Nana, and she said that Ari has never had any scandals because human men are not worthy of a goddess like her.

"puff…"

Miya's words made Ari chuckle, causing all the flowers in the room to pale in comparison.

She thought for a moment and explained:

"I don't have anyone I like yet, which is why I have more time to focus on the things I enjoy. However, lately I've been feeling a stirring in my heart and want to find someone of the opposite sex who can truly attract me..."

Even when facing the children, Ari held nothing back—

"What interests me most is 'unwavering affection.' I enjoy the feeling of being liked. If someone appreciates me, likes me, loves me to the point of complete devotion, even to the point of self-destruction—then I think I would most likely consider reciprocating such profound feelings."

"...??"

The world spins and space collapses.

Miya felt suffocated by those words.

"Sister, I'm alright now, thank you for your reply...!"

The child bowed respectfully, then slung his instrument over his shoulder and ran away.

"what…"

Ari turned to look at the child's receding figure and asked in confusion:

"Did I say anything strange...?"

His eyes were pure white, with an icy, captivating quality.

……

By noon, An Qing and Yuan Xiao had both gotten up and were practicing intensely.

To maximize the success of the small rehearsal, the resourceful Su Che brought Gu Zhi along halfway through.

Gu Zhi's first reaction was "I don't want to go to my sister's house."

However, since it was Su Che who invited him and claimed that "we can play together after you arrive," he thought about it for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

This marked the first time that four people were present in Yuan Xiao's large house.

"As expected of you! Ah Che, I can't even call my sister myself! Otherwise, I wouldn't always be the one going to her house to bother her! Hehe..."

"It's okay. There's always a second time after the first. I'll get her here for you this time. Next time you miss your sister, just invite her. Maybe she'll get used to it and come anytime."

Su Che was quite experienced in this area, after all, it was the most basic skill recorded in "The Great Technique of Bad Water," which he could learn at a glance.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't I renovate my basement?"

I feel that if more and more people come, they can rehearse downstairs anytime. It's free, and it won't disturb the neighbors, because all the neighbors on either side have gone bankrupt and moved away. There's an empty villa next door, so there's no problem with rehearsing anytime.

Yuan Xiao chattered on about the tragedies of the wealthy people around her, as if she had forgotten that her own father was also on the verge of bankruptcy.

"...Is this area cursed?"

An Qing couldn't help but complain, then turned her gaze to the basement area on the first floor in front of her.

I think that such a large space would definitely be very, very expensive to renovate.

If Yuan Xiao's family goes bankrupt, it will be very difficult for them to raise a large sum of money to convert this place into a band rehearsal room.

"How much will this cost... I saw online that the sound insulation cotton alone is calculated per square meter, and it has to be completely covered from top to bottom and left to right."

"No, that's small change. The big money is in the speaker equipment and mixing console. For example, a large vacuum tube costs tens of thousands, but we need three."

Su Che pointed out the key point: "Conservatively speaking, it would cost at least two or three hundred thousand."

He included the budget for the drum kit, mixing console, microphones, etc., and he did so on a low note.

At this moment, Yuan Xiao was itching to make a move again.

"How about I sell one of my father's paintings..."

"Hey, that's enough. Stop thinking about selling those paintings. If your family finds out, they'll spank you."

"Impossible! My family never hits me! On the contrary, Master, if you really want to hit me, then come and hit me! After you're done, I'll go sell my paintings, how about that?"

Yuan Xiao always used his intelligence and wit in the wrong way, which made Su Che and An Qing exchange bewildered glances.

"That's a big game."

The two shook their heads and declined to comment.

Just then, there was a knocking sound coming from upstairs.

"Ah, it's my sister! I'll go open the door!"

Yuan Xiao's ears perked up, and she ran upstairs in a flash.

Su Che hadn't intended to follow, but soon he heard a child's shocked exclamation from upstairs—

"Eh—?! This…this…this isn't Teacher Jiang Jiang! You've come to my house as a guest too? Hehe, a warm welcome!!!"

"???"

Now, Su Che couldn't sit still any longer.

Gu Zhi did not say that she would bring Jiang Nai with her.

But it's clear that today is indeed the day she's having class with Jiang Nai.

Perhaps the two of them came together after finishing their classes.

Moreover, Jiang Nai particularly likes to make surprise attacks. Even if Gu Zhi didn't ask her to come, it would be expected if she insisted on coming.

really,

Faint footsteps and voices could be heard coming from upstairs.

"Ah, I didn't expect Yuanxiao's house to be so big? Not bad, not bad, you seem very comfortable."

I was just giving your sister a lesson when she suddenly said halfway through that she had to leave. I was thinking, what could be more important than teaching? Turns out she needed to come here for a "rehearsal"...

So I followed her here. I'll check out her performance later and then leave. Please excuse my uninvited visit.

Jiang Nai explained her purpose, and Yuan Xiao, of course, did not refuse. He directly took her hand and led her into the house, even more enthusiastically than he had been with Gu Zhi.

Now, Su Che was drenched in sweat.

Ever since we met at "Night Listening" last time, even after the food poisoning incident, I haven't visited Jiang Nai. I just made empty promises to her.

Now, she has actually personally led the attack to the base area...

They can't go in, and they have nowhere to retreat; they're blocked at the door.

We're doomed.
