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

Miya immediately looked away and focused on the road again.

"Does it have to be me? Can't anyone else?"

Su Che continued to press for answers.

"No, absolutely not."

Why not?

"Because...because...I'm certain of at least three people who like you...This is one of the necessary conditions for a team like ours to advance and ascend, it's very crucial."

"???"

"Xiang doesn't seem to like men or women, so let's leave that aside for now. I think she's more concerned about how to improve her condition..."

"As for whether the goddess sister likes it or not..."

Miya paused, then suddenly pursed her lips and came to a conclusion—

"I think if it were you, you could even win over a goddess."

Chapter 146 The Kitten's Barbed Tongue

Today marks the second encounter.

An Qing carried a shopping basket and selected vegetables in the supermarket.

Based on the list provided by Su Che, we can deduce what food he wants to make today by looking at the ingredients.

“土豆、洋葱、牛肉、胡萝卜、牛奶……”

"Oh...it seems to be curry beef rice, and the cold dish is a platter of Arctic surf clam and sweet shrimp sashimi..."

An Qing felt that today's afternoon lunch was quite expensive; just the two boxes of seafood alone cost more than 200 yuan.

It's hard not to draw a comparison between her and the kitten in her mind.

"Although there's some for me, this newcomer kitten is eating way too well..."

An Qing muttered to herself, somewhat unhappy.

Just then, my phone lit up. It was a bird-shaped emoji sent by my "newest best friend" Yuan Xiao.

Are you there?.jpg

"I'm here, what's up?"

An Qing smiled and replied immediately.

"Practicing the piano made me feel tired, so I wanted to talk to you. By the way, what are you doing? Are you video chatting?"

"...I'm going grocery shopping. Video calls are fine, it's just a bit noisy outside, I hope you don't mind."

"OK, OK! I've been wanting to see the outside world, hehe."

Yuan Xiao immediately sent a video call.

An Qing readily answered the call and held her phone at a suitable height to show off her best angle.

"We'll just chat for a little while, I have to go home and help with cooking, we have guests over today."

"Wow! You're at Sam's?! Isn't this the house near me? By the way, who's coming to visit you? Is it someone I know?"

As soon as the call connected, the little bird started asking questions like a walking encyclopedia of "why".

"You might know her, but that doesn't matter. Just think of her as a 'stray cat.'"

"!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiao sensed that something was wrong.

Even with her sharp mind, she could instantly realize that a woman had come to visit Ah Che's house and that the cat had gone out to buy groceries by itself.

This shows that the guest was very important and held a high position.

"The problem from last time hasn't been solved yet, and now a new cat has appeared! This isn't right! Anqing, do you need my help? I can come over right away!"

An Qing: "...?"

The girl fell silent.

No need to think,

Having studied the "Way of the Spirit," how could she be easily fooled by a little bird?

I thought to myself, if she comes, wouldn't the house be a gathering of three cats and three calicos?

Wouldn't that mean I'd get even less of a share?

If it was originally one-half, wouldn't it become one-third, or even less than one-third?

I appreciate your kindness, but I won't reveal your true feelings.

She politely declined Yuan Xiao's offer.

Yuan Xiao wasn't angry; she just chuckled and egged him on.

"Hey duck! You'll be crying again if you can't beat the other cats! By then it'll be too late to regret it! Hmph..."

"Let's skip it today. I'll handle my own problems. I'll go back and face her in lane. I estimate I have a 6% chance of winning, so don't worry."

An Qing's assessment of herself was that...

Miya, 6/4 chance;

Against Ari, the odds are 0/10.

Against Yu tide, the odds are 2/8;

Hit Gu Zhi, 3/7 split;

As for the others, such as Yuan Xiao and Xiao Xiao, it's basically a 50/50 situation, which is quite interesting.

This is her modest calculation result.

Judging by the progress, she believes she has a 90/10 chance against anyone, with herself at 90% and the other person at 100%.

"Fine, fine, if you won't let me, then forget it. Next time I'll talk to A-Che myself and ask him to take me out for something nice to eat. Then I won't invite you."

Yuan Xiao has a childlike temper and likes to retaliate in kind.

An Qing remained unmoved, completely unconcerned about the threat.

"I'm going home now. Is there anything else you want to see? Tell me quickly."

She urged him on and walked towards the cashier to pay.

At this point, Yuan Xiao finally steered the conversation to the main topic, saying in a rather anxious tone:

"Actually, I'm thinking, we only have two months left until the competition. Although we've secured performance opportunities and arranged equipment, team uniforms, and so on, is winning the championship really something we can achieve?"

really.

An Qing knew that she wouldn't call for no reason.

"You're worrying about this?"

She thought for a moment and slowly revealed:

“I used to worry about this problem too. But then I thought, since I have to do everything I can for Cheche anyway, and there’s no way to run away, I just need to focus on doing my best on the road ahead and ignore everything else.”

"!"

"Don't you think so? Are you going to desert your post?"

Of course not!

"Isn't that it? Just practice the piano, and reach whatever level you can. Even if you fail, as long as you've tried your best, he won't say anything."

An Qing's view is that if you push yourself to the limit of your potential, you will have no regrets.

But Yuan Xiao's point is not here.

She believes her potential is very limited, and her ceiling is low.

Without breaking this upper limit, a qualitative change is impossible.

"Actually...I...sigh."

She hesitated, clearly indicating that there was still some major issue she hadn't addressed.

An Qing frowned, paid the money, and carried the ingredients out of the store.

"If you keep beating around the bush with me, I'm hanging up."

"No, no, no, I'll tell you. I'll tell you."

Yuan Xiao stammered, "I've been thinking about something lately... A-Che knows Miya, and they seem to be on good terms... What if he gets tired of me and goes to Miya to be his guitarist? What if I... then..."

"Clam?"

After hearing this, An Qing couldn't help but feel even more bewildered by the bird's thought process.

Do you think he's the kind of person who admires strength?

"no……"

"So you think he'll kick you out just because Miya is better than you?"

"This one……"

"Even if we held a vote within the team, this kind of thing wouldn't be possible, right?"

An Qing said frankly, "Even if I did vote, I would definitely vote against it. Yuan Xiao, I'll definitely save my vote for you. I think you're a great person, really."

"Whhh...what!"

The unexpected heart-to-heart talk deeply moved Yuan Xiao.

She never expected that in An Qing's heart, she would be more worthy of being retained than a guitar master!

I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart, and instantly found the house cat in the video incredibly pleasing to the eye!
