Due to the interruption of the topic just now, she could no longer use her words to explore Tian Nalin's thoughts in the short term, and was very worried whether Su Shi would be waiting for her at the door.
Fortunately, this worry did not come true. When Xiangzi saw the empty street in front of his house, he felt relieved and relaxed...
Her address was not disclosed.
"Goodbye, Mr. Tianna, thank you for agreeing to my rude request." Xiangzi bowed slightly.
"You're welcome, Miss Xiangzi. See you tomorrow."
After the two said goodbye to each other, Tian Nalin looked at Xiangzi's back, resting his right hand on his chin and thinking.
Teacher Daxiang seems strange today, even his speech is incoherent. Could it be that society has severely punished him, affecting his mental state?
When Xiangzi heard his inner thoughts, the veins on his forehead twitched. In the end, he resisted the urge to refute and slowly closed the door.
"I am back."
Xiangzi took off his shoes, turned on the light, walked past his drunken father, and opened the window to dispel the smell of alcohol in the room.
Then she sat on the windowsill, facing the cool evening breeze, took out her cell phone and sent a message to "Half Body".
"Are you free after school tomorrow? I'd like to ask Xiao Mu for a favor."
After a while, the new message arrived along with the phone notification sound.
Xiao Mu: Okay.
A smile from the heart appeared on Xiangzi's lips, and he told the other party the time and address.
According to her previous assumption, if Su Shi could also hear Tian Nalin's thoughts, then Ruo Yemu would definitely be able to do so as well.
Because the biggest thing they have in common is that they are all members of Crychic.
------
The next day at noon, at Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy.
In a corner of the lush atrium, a girl with long light blue hair was holding a watering can and watering the cucumber seedlings on a small fence.
"Hello, Xiaomu."
As the shrill and gentle sound of the clips rang out, the girl stopped what she was doing and faced the person who came, her only friend Nagasaki Suyo.
"Hello." Ruo Yemu nodded slightly.
Seeing that the former looked normal, Su Shi smiled and started the conversation.
"Xiao Mu, did Xiao Xiang reply to your letter yesterday?"
Wakaba Mutsu pursed his thin lips, looked away and continued to water the cucumber seedlings.
Seeing this, Su Shi said sarcastically, "Xiao Mu is indeed on Xiao Xiang's side."
Ruo Yemu remained silent, but tightened his grip on the watering can.
Su Shi regained her gentle smile and said, "But I'm not angry, because I've found a way to help Xiao Xiang."
Ruoye Mu looked at the other person with his amber pupils, and his dull eyes seemed to be asking questions.
"I want to reunite Crychic with Xiao Deng and the others, invite Xiao Xiang to join, and then make a commercial debut as quickly as possible to generate profits. What do you think of this plan, Xiao Mu?"
"..."
Silence is the best denial.
Su Shi didn't take it seriously. With a bright smile on his face, he continued, "After Xiao Xiang joins, how about you come back, Xiao Mu? Then we can all play in the band happily like before."
Ruoye Mu paused in sprinkling water, his expression hinting at sadness.
Su Shi seemed not to notice this and continued to talk to herself, "We plan to go to Yuqiu this afternoon to find Xiaodeng and Xiaoxiang. We'll try to convince them today. Xiaomu, do you want to come with us?"
Ruoye Mu lowered his head and replied in a dull voice: "I... won't go."
"Why? Today isn't the day for piano practice."
"I dont go."
Ruoye Mu repeated it again, expressing his will.
"Okay... since you insist so much, Xiao Mu, I won't force you. Remember to go home early after school." Su Shi gently reminded.
"..."
Ruoye Mu picked up the watering can again without saying a word and continued to water the cucumber seedlings.
Under the bright sunshine, the fresh little yellow flowers swayed in the wind, as if witnessing the growing distance between the two people.
------
At 4 p.m., the South Exit of Shinjuku Station, which has the most traffic in Tokyo.
According to the request of "Half Body", Wakaba Mu changed into casual clothes and came here through a complex transportation network, waiting for the other party to arrive.
After a while, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing the Haneda school uniform, arrived and found herself being stared at by passers-by.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Xiao Mu. You haven't changed at all."
Wakaba Mu also looked at Xiangzi and said with some concern: "Xiao Xiang... looks very uneasy."
Faced with the concern of "Half Body", Xiangzi frowned subconsciously, but considering the other party's emotions, she changed the subject:
"Has Su Shi come to see you?"
"Yeah." Ruo Yemu nodded his head and simply repeated what he heard at noon in his own words.
After hearing this, Xiangzi frowned even deeper. Fortunately, she left school early after school today, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed.
"As expected... the more I try to avoid her, the more she'll pursue me." Xiangzi's eyes grew increasingly resolute. "It seems I need to make things clear."
"Are you going to Moon Forest?" Wakaba Mu asked blankly.
"How could I possibly go there!" Xiangzi raised his voice unconsciously, speaking with a hint of anger.
Ruo Yemu lowered her eyes in grievance. She didn't understand why the other party was angry.
Xiangzi calmed down for a while and proposed a new location.
"It seems like RiNG has a concert soon, so let's schedule it for that day."
After hearing the name RiNG last night, she did some research and learned that Shiina Riki worked in this store.
From this, it can be inferred that since Su Shi and others are going to reunite as a band and debut quickly, they will definitely attend RiNG's concert, and they can choose that day to pretend it was an accidental encounter.
Ruoye Mu nodded her chin slightly. Although she didn't know why Xiangzi chose to go on this day, she still agreed.
Then the two of them started moving and came to the Blue Bottle Coffee shop outside the station. They chose a seat by the window so that they could observe the outside world.
Not long after, Xiangzi saw a black-haired boy in casual clothes walking out of the station, and he said to Wakaba Mu:
"Please, Xiao Mu, do as I say and go interview Tianna-kun in person.
Remember, if you hear any strange noises, ignore them and don't care what Tianna-kun says. Just leave and report the results to me on your phone."
"clear."
Ruoye Mu responded obediently, maintaining a high degree of trust in "Ban Shen".
Chapter 18: Being Hard-Controlled
"That's probably what Teacher Daxiang is talking about."
Tian Nalin looked around, confirmed that the name on the coffee shop sign was correct, and headed towards his destination.
But just as Tian Nalin was about to approach, a girl with long light blue hair walked out of the shop door and walked straight towards him.
Tian Nalin was shocked when he saw this girl who looked somewhat similar to Xiangzi.
【Why is Xiaomu here! 】
Mu's face rarely showed any emotion while she was walking. Her amber eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Tian Nalin curiously, greeting him as requested by her "half body".
"Greetings, Mr. Tianna."
"Huh?" Tian Nalin was stunned for a moment, his heart filled with turmoil.
"What's going on? Why does Xiaomu know me? Could it be that the friend Teacher Daxiang was talking about is her, and not me?"
[...That doesn't make sense.]
Ignoring his doubts, Ruo Yemu greeted him and walked past him indifferently, as if he was just completing a task.
"Well, Miss, please wait."
Just as Tian Nalin was about to catch up, another girl's voice sounded behind him.
"Good afternoon, Tenna-kun. You're on time for your appointment."
"Miss Xiangzi..." Tian Nalin turned around and looked at the blue-haired girl, and instantly understood something.
[Teacher Daxiang must have just met with Xiaomu.]
Ignoring his inner voice, Xiangzi smiled and said, "Tian Na-kun, please follow me."
"Oh..."
After looking at Wakaba Mu's receding figure, Tian Nalin followed Toyokawa Shoko into the Blue Bottle Coffee Shop and took a seat.
"Tian Na-kun, would you like something to drink? Mocha coffee?" Xiangzi called the waiter to take your order.
"No, just the same as Miss Xiangzi." Tian Nalin said as he glanced at the table next to him and found a glass of empty mango juice.
"Then please send a Darjeeling."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter responded and left, leaving the space for the guests.
At this time, Toyokawa Shoko's cell phone beeped. She said "Excuse me" and took it out to check the message.
Xiao Mu: I heard what he was saying.
Xiao Mu: How is this done?
Looking at these two messages, Xiangzi suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if his exclusive toy was shared by someone else.
"So I'm not the only one..."
Xiangzi closed his eyes to calm himself down, and when he opened them again, he felt calm.
She typed back: I don’t know, Xiaomu, you go home first.
Seeing that the message had been read, Xiangzi locked his phone, put it on the table, and looked up at the opposite side.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Tenna-kun. I'm sure you're curious why I'm here."
"Ah, that's right."
"Sorry, Tenna-kun, the friend I was talking about is actually me."
"So it's Miss Xiangzi herself!" Tian Nalin cooperated with the performance and pretended to be surprised.
"Are you not angry, Tenna-kun?"
"No, I'm actually quite happy to know it's you, Miss Xiangzi. After all, it's safer to deal with someone you know."
"I'm glad you think so, Tenna-kun. How about we discuss the relevant compensation?"
"no problem."
The two then talked about music theory tutoring. Originally, Tian Nalin wanted to adopt an hourly wage system, but Toyokawa Shoko held a different opinion.
"Tenna-kun, how about we work out a monthly salary system? That way I can teach whenever I'm free, which is more flexible."
"Um...if we adopt a monthly salary system, how much salary would Miss Xiangzi want?"
At the same time, Tian Nalin thought to himself, "Teacher Daxiang, my monthly salary is only 20 yen. Don't ask for too much."
A sly glint flashed in Xiangzi's eyes as he stated his offer, "How about 10 yen? I'll promise to go to Tenna-kun's house every day to teach him. While maintaining the quality of the teaching, the progress will be much faster than at a professional cram school."
Tian Nalin didn't rush to answer.
If he followed the other party's plan, after paying for rent, utilities, and other living expenses, he would only have about 3 yen left each month. He couldn't afford to buy a new instrument, and he would still have to pay for the cat's matcha parfait...
But Tian Nalin would not refuse this condition, because being able to help Xiangzi is a very meaningful thing, and he also urgently needs a professional to guide him into the field.
"I'll find a way to open up the source code as soon as possible. It's really hard to do anything without money."
Thinking this in his heart, Tian Nalin nodded in agreement: "Miss Xiangzi, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
