Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Miaomeng truthfully complained according to her own thoughts.

Yanming's fist hardened; he wished he could bury this guy right now.

"But..."

Miao Meng smiled and said, "Indeed, I find Yan Ming more pleasing to the eye. Although we don't get along very well, he is someone I can truly reach."

After the fans' filter shattered, all she saw was an ordinary young man.

Narrow-minded, talkative, and prone to worrying unnecessarily.

While being considerate, she always appears dishonest to everyone.

Such a contrast exists in one person, and that person is someone who was once his idol...

"How about I sign an autograph? You can easily sign a hundred or eighty autographs now, and you'll earn more than I do in a year! You have no idea how hungry your die-hard fans are. If we team up, we'll definitely make a fortune!"

"Go to hell."

Of course, Yanming knew perfectly well that Miaomeng was just joking.

This is also why he was willing to continue treating Miaomeng as a friend even after she knew about his situation...

Wait a minute? Did he just say they were "friends"?

Sorry, I misspoke.

They are not friends.

He couldn't stand Miaomeng.

Miao Meng was forced to be subservient to him because he had something on her.

Well, it's just a purely mutually beneficial relationship, nothing more.

"Really don't think about it?"

"Go to hell."

"...Then just sign one for me, I promise I won't show it off online."

"That's no problem."

"Yay! As a reward, Meow Dream can sign one for you too!"

"That's not necessary."

……

After a fierce internal struggle, Xiangzi finally chose the clothes he planned to wear to show Yanming.

A beige plaid mini skirt.

special.

It's extremely short.

It's absolutely impossible for her to actually wear this out, but if it's just for someone she likes to see...

"Ok!"

After changing, Xiangzi patted his flushed cheeks and then pulled open the dressing room door.

"Yanming, how is it?"

Chapter Ninety-Four: Love Cat TV.

Yanming: "...?"

What happened?

"Click."

"Wow! Xiangqin, you're so bold!"

Xiangzi: "..."

Can anyone tell her when and where this purple garlic clove holding a phone appeared?

"Xiangqin? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yanming glanced at Miaomeng, who was still courting disaster, and dismissed the idea of ​​helping her.

If this guy jumps like that, he deserves to die.

"...Yanming, help me hold her down, don't let her get away."

"it is good."

Their communication was as efficient as ever, and in just a few words, they seemed to have decided Miaomeng's fate. "Also, there's one more thing."

"Ok?"

Seemingly sensing what Yanming was about to say, Xiangzi was somewhat hesitant to meet his gaze.

"You look great in this."

"Thanks……"

Xiangzi blushed, lowered his head, and shrank back into the changing room.

"Uh uh..."

Miao Meng stared blankly at the interaction between the two, then belatedly turned to the person who was starting to rub their fists together and asked, "Um, do I look like it?"

"Correct answer, but no reward."

After Yanming finished warming up, he looked at Miaomeng with pity, as if he were looking at a corpse. "Armbar or rear naked choke? Choose one, I know a little bit of both."

"A tonic!"

"No? No won't help either."

……

A few minutes later.

"Gomen, Saki-san!! Red bean paste, simi masai!"

It turns out that Miaomeng's constitution is quite resistant to sand.

Hehe, another day has passed.

"Humph!"

Still not satisfied, Xiangzi kicked Miaomeng's shin again. After confirming that Yanming's attention wasn't on them, he whispered, "Why are you everywhere?!"

It was supposed to be a rare date, but before she could even enjoy it, an annoying third party interfered.

As for driving Miaomeng away now... Xiangzi can't do it, and Yanming certainly can't do that either, so unless she leaves on her own, it's a foregone conclusion that she'll have a third wheel by her side.

"Because this store has a lot of foot traffic, isn't that how it is in our industry?"

"Instead of wasting time trying to gain attention, you should practice your terrible drumming. I've told you before, haven't I? You're the one who needs the most practice. If you don't meet my expectations, I'll kick you out without hesitation."

Teacher Oblivionis is very strict.

"Hey—I know, but Xiangqin, haven't you told Yanming about the band yet?"

Miaomeng quietly inquired about it.

Xiangzi shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet... I plan to tell him last."

Miaomeng asked in confusion, "Why? Aren't you two already so close that you can sleep in the same room?"

He casually rambled on, yet his words were so precise it was as if he had X-ray vision and a lock.

"It's just staying overnight, I didn't sleep in the same room with you, you bastard! Who told you that?!"

"Ugh... Jiu Min, I can't breathe anymore!"

In her hazy dream, Miao Meng seemed to see her great-grandmother, whom she had never met before.

Xiangzi let go: "Hmph!"

"Ahem... So why is that?"

When it comes to her own life and fortune, Miaomeng stops being naughty.

Although she believed that even if Xiangzi failed to recruit Yanming, he could find other highly skilled guitarists, Yanming was definitely the best one.

Wouldn't the sooner we tell him, the greater the chance of success?

“He didn’t tell you, and even Xiaodeng and the others probably don’t know, but Yanming actually had a band.”

Xiangzi explained why he hadn't invited Yanming yet: "It must be for some reason that the band couldn't continue either, but Yanming still misses that place."

That's enough to say.

Xiangzi couldn't be sure if Yanming would be unable to truly integrate into a brand new band because of her own lingering concerns, especially since her AveMujica was a for-profit band with commercial goals.

"I want to wait a little longer, until I know more about his past, before I try to ask him what he really thinks."

Miaomeng nodded: "I understand, but... isn't it possible that you're overthinking things, Xiangqin?"

"...Perhaps, but my decision will not change."

Xiangzi secretly glanced at Yanming's back. "Just like how he always takes care of others in every way, I don't want any unintentional words I say to hurt him."

For Xiangzi, Yanming's past was like a completely blank vault; no matter how hard he tried, he could never peek into its contents unless Yanming himself opened it up.

While it's true that forcibly prying something open has a chance of success, it also carries the risk of damaging the contents.

Xiangzi wouldn't take that risk for her own sake, even though Ave Mujica was key to her turning her life around in the Toyokawa family.

A person cannot live only thinking about themselves.

"If Yanming knew that you think this way about him, Xiangqin, he would be very happy."

“No, Miss Yutenji Wakami, you still don’t understand Yanming enough. On this point, most of you have been fooled by him.”

"Oh?"

Miao Meng was somewhat surprised.

"Although there is no obvious manifestation, he does indeed put his own value very low, which goes against the self-interest of most people. When Yanming has to make a choice, he must only consider himself last."

One cannot only think of oneself.

However, ignoring one's own thoughts and feelings, as Yanming did, is certainly a mistake.

Xiangzi continued seriously, "So..."

"Xiao Xiang, stop chatting and come try this on."

Yanming was waving from a short distance away, holding a light-colored dress, unaware of the conversation taking place.

"Come on, come on!"

Meow Dream, who was watching this scene from the side, was immediately horrified.

Xiang Sang, you change your tune so quickly!

Yanming's fitting method was much simpler. He had Xiangzi stand with her arms outstretched, then casually held the clothes up against her to confirm the size was correct before tossing them into the basket he was carrying.

"Great, I'll buy it."

"Wait, Yanming, what's this pile of...?"

While they were chatting, Yanming wasn't idle either; she had already filled her basket with four or five dresses suitable for going out.

"These are the clothes I want to buy."

"But I haven't tried any of them yet!"

Yanming then held up a dress he had his eye on Xiangzi, looking quite matter-of-fact, and casually said, "It's okay, Xiangzi, you can buy whatever you like too. These are just for you to wear casually, they're all loose and everyday styles, you definitely won't look too bad in them."

The styles and quality of this store are all top-notch. Since price is not a factor in his judgment, Yanming's selection criteria naturally became much more casual.
