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

She pursed her lips, thinking carefully.

I tried to hit that XP spot multiple times but failed. It's not that my judgment was flawed, but rather that his inner defenses were too strong; there was something more important than sexual release.

In An Qing's mind, such matters only involved matters of life and death...

“I don’t think anything is more important than satisfying physical needs, especially for young men.”

This is the girl's perspective.

She could no longer endure the rejections she faced night after night.

"We need to find out what's hidden in his file today... eh?"

Just as she opened the folder named "Inspiration," intending to search for any worthwhile information—

The name of the first text document immediately caught her attention.

——"Female protagonist, sunny, material collection".

"!!!"

The girl sprang to attention like a feather standing on end, grabbing the chair armrests and shrinking into the seat.

Then, he reached out his arm and carefully opened the text document.

The document was created about two weeks ago, which was the third day after I arrived at the house.

Today, Qing passed the assessment and didn't cause me any discomfort in her daily life. I've decided to take her in and continue to observe her.

"...!!"

Today, I discovered that she also puts on makeup at home, as if she did it especially for me. I felt that this level of sincerity was a bit excessive, but I was very happy because I've never been treated so seriously before.

As a sewer rat, I've never understood love, so I've decided to treat her even better, as well as I can.

"...!"

The nightgown she suddenly wore today was so cute. I wanted to compliment her, but I was afraid it would make her proud, so I just gave her a hug and didn't say anything else. But she seemed to really want to hear "You look so beautiful." Sigh...

"..."

I saw the digital drawing board today and suspected that she was Hare, but after thinking about it carefully, how could that be? Qing is a landmine artist, while Hare has never been involved in this field except for drawing landmines for me.

Besides, she's too stubborn, her personality is intimidating, and she always puts a lot of mental pressure on people... Communicating with her is exhausting.

"... "

Ah, she's come clean. I knew it? I missed some details, but the fact that she chose to follow her for two years shows that her feelings weren't just empty words. Will someone who's never been truly chosen ever experience genuine emotions? Let's wait and see.

-

The recording ends here.

The subsequent documentation was delayed until before rehearsals, meaning that once he started working on band matters, he no longer had the energy to record his own information.

“Cheche…”

The girl's feelings were complicated. She subconsciously glanced down, and five seconds later, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, there are no records of Yuan Xiao and Gu Zhi..."

"It seems I'm the only one currently vying for the female lead role."

The girl was too happy to notice the strange name in a later document—"Cat Breeds".

But in any case, An Qing felt very satisfied to be observed so meticulously in secret by him.

"He seems to be rarely cared about."

"So once you open your heart to him, he will also squeeze out some of his true feelings, like squeezing toothpaste, and give them back to himself."

She opened the "New Book Outline" mind map, looking at the dense tree diagram inside, analyzing and pondering it bit by bit.

"Was Cheche originally planning to write a light novel in the style of urban romance? And it seems to be a redemption story."

"But unfortunately, he has never been redeemed by anyone, so he got stuck after writing a framework and needed to find more inspiration."

"It seems that I became one of his inspirations."

"And if I... can provide him with enough inspiration on my own... then can it be interpreted that he no longer needs new inspiration from other girls?"

An Qing pondered the feasibility of this approach and ultimately discovered that it contradicted a certain viewpoint mentioned in "The Way of the Spirit"—

"The best people are bound to have no shortage of admirers, so improving yourself to outmaneuver your rivals is the key to victory."

An Qing wholeheartedly agreed, and thus abandoned her previous strategy, deciding to seize the time to continue with a three-pronged approach—

Practice singing, draw, learn makeup and fashion.

"Looks come first, sex appeal second, talent third, and everything else comes last."

"If we can't arouse his impulse, it's all for nothing."

The girl strengthened her resolve and embarked on a new round of intensive training.

……

The cat's fiery temper was unknown to Su Che.

At this very moment, he was in the school's main library, sitting side by side with Lin Xiao, each reading their own books.

"Hey Su Che, why didn't you invite me to the rehearsal room? Why are you reading here instead? Is this...is this the right thing to do?"

Lin Xiao had not yet recovered from being flattered.

I thought that after performing once, I would become a dispensable, used tool, and most likely be forgotten by him.

But to everyone's surprise, less than a day later, he suddenly said that they should read books together at school and discuss some "academic issues"...

Lin Xiao found this bizarre behavior quite interesting.

"Ah."

Su Che looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, lowered his voice and spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear:

Do you think we still need to accumulate stage experience?

"!"

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback, but then she understood. "Ah! You want me to find performance opportunities again, don't you?"

"Hey, I knew it! You're using me like a cup, making me collect all sorts of dirty, rotten things all the time..."

“...Speak properly.”

Su Che interrupted her, "I promised you last time that I would treat you after this, so I asked you out. Don't push your luck."

"Okay, okay, I won't push my luck~"

Lin Xiao chuckled.

He put down the book "The Art of Communication Between Men and Women" and pondered the question he had just asked.

"As for stage experience, you can never have too much."

She said, "But opportunities on stage aren't always available..."

"The reason we were able to participate in the performance was mainly because the mothers of the foreign language team members had a good relationship with Wu You's manager, which allowed them to get performance time for four songs, and then we were given two."

"...That's quite a roundabout way of putting it, so you mean there are no other opportunities to be found even if we try hard enough?"

"Yes. Ticket-selling level performances are definitely out of the question, but we can certainly explore smaller live performances where performers pay their own way."

"Heavenly music?"

"Yes, it's close to the school, so everyone can go. And most importantly, we've gotten to know the owner at Tianlai, so he might recommend us to other livehouses. That would snowball and encourage us to perform more shows before the competition, creating a positive cycle."

Lin Xiao analyzed it carefully.

"Oh... that's how it works."

Su Che took a sip of his coffee and put the cup down.

Lin Xiao's iced latte was long gone, so while he was lost in thought, she naturally reached out and stole his cappuccino, which was almost empty.

The moment he realized something was wrong, he downed the entire drink in one gulp, right where he was about to drink.

"Wow! That feels great!"

"...You rascal, if you don't have enough to drink, I'll buy you another one! Just tell me!"

"Hey, what are you doing? I just like helping others clean up their messes, is that a problem?"

With a playful grin, she even nudged him with her little elbow, treating him like family at all.

"Fine……"

Su Che grumbled as he took out his phone to scan the QR code and placed two more orders through the mini-program.

The school library is unlike any other outside; it's both quiet and luxurious, a multi-functional open-plan space that combines reading, coffee, and study rooms.

Because the school is relatively wealthy, the decorations are quite nice, and many student couples usually come to book rooms for the whole day.

Su Che and Lin Xiao sat in the corner, in a place where they wouldn't be easily noticed. He sat on the outside, and she sat on the inside.

The former looked furious and embarrassed, while the latter ate with a slight smile.

From a distance, the two looked like a erotic couple who had come specifically to unlock the "library CG".

"Hey Su Che, I was the last one to leave yesterday, do you know what I saw?"

"what's up?"

"I saw that pianist staring at your back for a long time! Even after you had walked far away from the door, she was still staring at you from the window for a long time!"

A tiny, mysterious passage.

"..."

Su Che's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled the deal UU had proposed last night.

In fact, if I had just agreed on a whim, then "Seven Colors" would have had a constant stream of performance opportunities, never lacking them.

After all, Wu You is the type who has to participate in various live performances and competitions every few days. Wherever he goes, he is involved in performances. If he just nods, the two of them can be tied together.

The problem is, one of their demands is to "elope"...
