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

"What a coincidence! Me too! You... which university do you attend?"

"Arts-related items near Riverside Street."

"Okay, it's not far from me, only an hour's drive away."

"...?"

Su Che was embarrassed. "You live in the suburbs?"

"Yes, I live in a villa deep in the mountains. It's quiet there, and the environment is perfect for practicing the piano."

"........."

Before he could offer his opinion, Wu You continued checking the water meter: "Su Che, your team, how long do you plan to play around?"

"what?"

"I mean, how much longer do you want to play with those kids? When will it end?"

UU is clearly a straightforward person; she says what she means and doesn't bother with beating around the bush or taking things step by step.

"I...have not considered such a question."

Su Che shook his head.

It's impossible for him to give up his children.

Even after the competition ends and he actually wins the trophy, the bond will still exist. He can't be so quick as to cut the Gordian knot and let everyone go their separate ways.

After all, after today's performance, whether it was An Qing, Yuan Xiao, Gu Zhi, Xiao Xiao, or the senior who performed perfectly throughout,

Everyone did their best, and there was nothing that they felt was unsatisfactory.

Such teammates are extremely rare.

However, UU clearly stated:

"I think it's a real shame that someone as capable as you, who can read the emotions in a voice, is buried in your current team. How about this, I have an idea, listen to it and see if it works for you."

"……you say."

She paused, then changed the subject—

"I recently joined a super strong team. You could say that everyone on the team is about as good as me."

"However, the setup is still missing a guitar. Although the guitars we have are the best in Tianhai, one is equivalent to two or even three, I personally think that we still need to find teammates we agree with in order to go further and higher on this path."

"Su Che, I think you're pretty good."

"How about you kick out of your team, I'll leave mine, and the two of us form a new group, doing music production and original composition/arrangement?"

I'll play the piano for you, and you'll write songs for me. Then, after we've compiled a masterpiece together, we'll find new teammates and have a blast. How about that?

"If you're willing to consider it, I'll invite you to every performance from now on, and I'll invite you to every stage performance. We'll be bound together, moving forward together, never separating. Hmm... what do you think of this proposal?"

……

Chapter 124 Library CG: Little One Wants a Bite Too

Although UU's invitations can no longer be described as "limitless"...

But perhaps it's the master's filter?

Such directness, in Su Che's eyes, unexpectedly made the other party seem very innocent, without the usual aversion.

Is it a lack of common sense caused by years of playing the piano...?

Why would she believe that a viewer she'd just met would be willing to "elope" with her...?

Does she have a hidden need to sleep with fans?

Faced with such a repressed witch cat, Su Che found it hard not to think in strange directions.

Of course, outward refusal is also unavoidable.

“uu, I am very honored by your recognition, but the problem is…”

You don't know me at all, and my understanding of you only goes as far as today's concert. I think there's still a bit too much depth between us, and besides... such a risky move was really..."

Su Che didn't need to know what kind of players were on the other team to guess that once Wu Yourun was involved, all the blame would be directed at him.

By then...

I can't run away even if I want to.

The whole pot can be described as such.

"Ah... are you dissatisfied with me?"

uu's thought process is extremely peculiar—

"I understand. It's because I'm not as pretty as the girls around you, so I can't achieve both physical and spiritual cultivation while communicating through music. I completely understand."

"What do you understand, oi?!"

"Wait for me! I'll practice some more! I've definitely neglected this area! But it's alright, I learn quickly. I'll contact you again then!"

pat.

The witch cat hung up the phone.

Su Che was completely bewildered, having no idea what she specifically wanted to learn.

"What a...quite a unique little guy."

He remarked with a touch of emotion that none of the contestants who could become master-level performers were easy to work with.

-

After the interlude, the performance came to an end, and everyone's mental state was different from before.

The next morning, Su Che received a message from Jiang Nai, asking when he would be attending the drinking party.

He thought for a moment and then said directly, "Can you come to my shop and pick me up after get off work? I'll go home with you after I finish my part-time job. Is that okay?"

"Great! I like this!"

Jiang Nai was very happy and readily agreed.

In her eyes, this feeling was similar to hiring a male model, and a male landmine of Su Che's caliber at that, which was a very novel experience.

"I'll wait for you at the bar entrance at midnight, don't forget."

The time they spent dating in the underworld seemed very much like the world of the living, according to their underworld biological clocks.

"I won't forget."

Su Che packed his things and put this matter on the agenda.

"Cheche, are you coming home very late today?"

On one side, the house cat had just woken up, sitting on the bed rubbing its eyes with the back of its hand.

They obviously heard this voice conversation as well.

Su Che didn't hide anything, "Well, I promised Nana I'd go drink with her, as part of her payment for teaching me piano, so I probably won't be back until 3 a.m. at the earliest..."

"Really? You won't be able to come back?"

An Qing's expression was complicated, and she felt that she might have to sleep alone tonight.

She had met Jiang Nai before; she was a glamorous and alluring young woman with sophisticated style, impeccable makeup, and a figure that was almost devilish, making her virtually invincible among women of the same level.

Moreover, anyone who is specifically chosen by Su Che to teach the zither must have extraordinary zither skills; there's no doubt about it.

"No, I promise I'll go home."

Su Che recalled the last time he went camping with Gu Zhi. In the end, even though Gu Zhi was extremely unwilling, she still managed to stick to her "principles"—

That is, no matter how late they stay out, they will always go home.

Su Che has never stayed out all night with An Qing, which is also a habit he has when raising cats.

Your cat should always come home on time, no matter where it goes, or it will go hungry.

"Okay... then make sure your phone is on, we can't not be able to reach you."

"of course."

Su Che ruffled the child's hair, then picked up his bag and turned to walk out the door.

An Qing watched his retreating figure, feeling a mix of anxiety and uncertainty, yet she understood perfectly well—

No matter how beautiful or attractive an outsider may be, if they cannot unlock the "lock" in Cheche's heart, they will absolutely have no chance of obtaining his physical body.

“He has important things to do, and he’s deeply involved in them. I should take this opportunity to think things through more while he’s away today.”

The girl has her own clear plans.

She wanted to further explore the secrets of her beloved, as described in "The Way of the Spirit".

"Relationships end with intelligence, but begin with opportunity."

"If you seize the opportunity but fail to gather any intelligence, then someone like Cheche, who is never short of beautiful and cute girls around him, will be in dire straits."

An Qing quickly got up and expertly turned on his workstation.

As the computer screen lit up, she planned to thoroughly examine his confidential files today.

Especially in terms of creative work, this area was practically a blank slate before I arrived.

"The account cannot be logged in, but the disk can be viewed; there may be some drafts inside."

She has always maintained clear boundaries regarding his work, especially in his presence; she never inquires about creative matters.

Now that Su Che has almost stopped creating music and is focusing all his energy on training the band, this area has become an uncharted territory, and there may be some great secrets hidden in it. The girl is looking forward to it.

Ding-dong-

"Master, welcome back~"

A catgirl butler popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen when it booted up. It was a two-dimensional anthropomorphic character that came with the antivirus software toolbox. Every time An Qing saw this, she had reason to suspect that Su Che was essentially a hardcore maid/catgirl enthusiast.

"So the underlying logic is cat-eared maid?"
