"Brother, why are you still holding this thing?"
"Oh, I'm used to it."
Tian Nalin said as he put the baseball bat behind him so that it would no longer be so conspicuous.
Miao Meng gave him a strange look, turned around, opened the door and said, "Come in and sit down, little brother."
Tian Nalin followed him into the room and stood at the entrance to look around. It was a standard Japanese-style single-person apartment. The kitchen was right inside the door, and there was a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and a total area of about 40 square meters.
His sharp eyes even noticed a lot of women's underwear on the sofa in the living room. One of them was a white T-shirt with a summer triangle pattern printed on it, which was particularly eye-catching. It was probably Chuhua's clothing.
Miao Meng saw him standing there without taking off his shoes, so he called out again, "Brother, come in and sit down."
"No, I just came up to check the situation."
Tian Nalin turned around and prepared to open the door and leave.
But the next second, he found a safety hazard and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
"My dear Miao Meng, why doesn't your door have a security chain?"
"Hmm? It's okay, right?"
Miao Meng came over with her hands behind her back and said, "This is what it's been like since I moved in."
Hearing this, Tian Nalin scolded with a stern face: "No, something like this happened today, how come you still don't have any sense of precaution?"
To enhance his persuasiveness, he added, "There was once a talented idol who was murdered by a stalking fan who knocked down his door simply because he didn't have an anti-theft chain installed. This led to a series of tragedies."
"Hey! Is there such a thing?"
Miao Meng covered her mouth in surprise, "Then let's call a technician to install it in a couple of days."
"No need. It's such a simple thing, I can just help Miao Mengqin fix it. I just happened to see a hardware store on the way here. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, Tian Nalin opened the door and walked out, leaving Miao Meng standing there with a confused look on her face.
"Brother...are you serious?"
In Miao Meng's impression, this was the first time she met such a serious guy, completely different from most people.
So Miao Meng, with anticipation, brewed a pot of Darjeeling black tea using the method she learned online, waiting for someone to return.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door was knocked again. Miao Meng went forward to open the door. It was Tian Nalin carrying a toolbox.
Seeing her open the door without any precautions, Tian Nalin scolded her: "Miao Meng, why didn't you check before opening the door? What if there's a perverted stalker outside?"
"Hey, Miao Mengqin, don't you think it's you, little brother, who's here?"
Miao Meng tilted her head and stuck out her tongue.
"Oh, I'm really impressed by you."
Tian Nalin waved his hand to let Miao Meng step back, put the toolbox on the ground and started working.
The installation process of the anti-theft chain is extremely simple. Just mark the screw holes on the main body with a marker, take out a drill to drill holes, then buckle the anti-theft chain on and tighten it with self-tapping screws. The whole process only takes a few minutes.
After the installation was complete, Tian Nalin conducted another test to confirm that the anti-hotlink function was secure and reliable.
Miao dreamed that he had finished the work and took out his phone and said, "Hey bro, how much are these things? I'll transfer them to you."
"2000 yen is enough. I borrowed the tools from the hardware store owner. I was lucky to run into them playing mahjong in the store today. Otherwise, I might not have been able to buy them."
Tian Nalin replied while packing up his things.
"I'm really troubling you, little brother."
"You're welcome. It's alright, I'll leave first."
Tian Nalin stood up and preached.
"Hey? Young man, why don't you come in and sit down and rest for a while? I made some black tea."
Miao Meng invited with a smile.
"Next time, it's too late today, and the hardware store owner is still waiting for me to return the things."
After saying that, Tian Nalin picked up the toolbox, opened the door and left, without giving the former a chance to stay.
Miao Meng was speechless when she saw him leave without any reluctance.
It turns out that there are such slow-witted people these days. Did he really think she wanted to treat him to black tea?
It shouldn't be...
Recalling Tian Nalin's previous emotional intelligence, Miao Meng rejected this idea again.
The other party probably didn't consider it in this way, or didn't treat her as a person of the opposite sex who could date. Even the help he just provided was out of friendship.
After figuring this out, Miao Meng suddenly became enlightened and quickly realized that the first difficulty in conquering Tian Nalin was to make the other party face her and change his opinion of her.
"Really? You only consider me a friend. Am I really that unattractive?"
Miao Meng sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of black tea and tasted it. For some reason, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
111
Chapter 111 Dong Xuelian is a beautiful and kind-hearted person.
In a house in Chihaya-cho, Hatsuka, who was busy, suddenly received a call.
She took out her cell phone and saw that it was a call from a man named Oreki Taro.
"Miss Triangle, the target is on his way back and is expected to arrive home in about 10 minutes."
"I understand, Mr. Oreki. Thank you for troubling me tonight. I will transfer the relevant expenses to you later."
"Thank you, Miss Triangle. If you have such easy work in the future, remember to look for me more often. Bye."
"Goodbye, Oreki-san."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Hua skillfully deleted the call history, put the phone back in his pocket, and began to deal with the traces he had left behind.
Ten minutes later, she was out of the house and standing in a nearby alley, testing the effectiveness of the new device on her phone.
Soon, she saw a high-definition picture of someone returning home and felt relieved.
The new equipment provided by Oreki Taro was very professional. Not only was its appearance sufficiently concealed, but its clarity was also better than the one she bought online.
The other party was a private detective she met when she was receiving anti-stalking training at the firm. She was cautious at the time and asked for a business card, and she didn't expect that it would come in handy.
However, as a popular idol, it is better for her to avoid dealing with such people. She might be sold out one day without even knowing it.
So tonight's first collaboration should also be their last. Anyway, everything that needs to be installed has been installed.
……
The next day, at the performing arts agency.
The members of Mujica gathered here in the morning, including Tian Nalin, because today is the week since the physical CD of the album "Confessions Under the Starry Sky" was released.
As soon as they met, Hai Ling noticed that Miao Meng, who was also in the rhythm group, had a square patch on his neck, which continuously emitted a faint scent of Chinese herbal medicine.
"Meow Dream Honey, what's wrong with your neck?"
"This."
Miao Meng smiled and said nonchalantly, "I accidentally got a stiff neck last night, so I put this patch on. Thank you Haizi for your concern."
"I see. I've never had a head injury before. Does it hurt?"
"It was quite painful at first, but it's much better now."
Miao Meng said this while glaring at Chu Hua who was standing next to her, her tone a little gritted.
In response, Chu Hua just gave a kind smile, as if to say that you Y totally deserved it.
Tian Nalin thought Miao Meng didn't want to make everyone worry, so he didn't expose her and followed Hailing to comfort her.
Xiangzi watched calmly and coldly. In her opinion, the fact that Miao Meng got a stiff neck due to sleeping meant that there was something wrong with his sleeping posture. It was a special personal situation and he did not deserve sympathy.
After a while, the staff sent the status of the initial sales.
Ave Mujica (Confessions Under the Starry Sky): Initial sales: 20191 copies, ranking 5th on the weekly album chart.
The moment Miao Meng got the news, she was the first to jump up and cheer, "That's great."
A happy smile appeared on Xiangzi's face, because based on the price of 1780 yen per album, 2 copies would be 3600 million yen.
After deducting taxes, costs and other factors, the band can earn more than 20 million from the initial sales alone. Combined with the income from the next few weeks, it is enough for her to overcome the first round of repayment crisis.
And as the band's fame grows, sales of its first album "Alea jacta est" have increased this week, reaching more than 5 copies, which will contribute another round of revenue.
Tian Nalin is also aware of this, and he struck while the iron is hot: "It's time to add related peripheral products, such as acrylic standees, hats, masks, etc., so that fans can contribute their love."
Previously, due to the early stage of Mujica's establishment, the only related peripheral products were T-shirts printed with the band's logo. Now is the time to reap the benefits while the popularity is still high.
When Xiangzi heard the word "mask", he suddenly remembered something, opened the drawer of his desk, and handed him a black mask.
"Tenna-kun, this is yours."
Tian Nalin took the mask and his expression was a little bit awkward. It turned out that the other party had always remembered this incident.
"Xiao Xiang, I don't have to perform on stage, so let's forget about this kind of thing."
Xiangzi flatly refused, "No, Tianna-kun, you have to wear it and let me see how it works."
Miao Meng also followed suit, saying, "That's right, little brother, don't be so shy, let us take a look."
"Oh... okay."
Tian Nalin turned the mask over and put it on his face.
This mask was also made of black nylon, most of which was hollowed out to ensure breathability, and the edge was engraved with a floral pattern that he didn't recognize.
Its main shape is an inverted L-shape. When worn, it covers the right half of the face and the left forehead, leaving only the left side of the face and mouth exposed, making the wearer look more mysterious and cold.
"Oh~ The effect is very good, you look much more handsome, little brother."
Miao Meng praised.
"Really?"
"Ah."
Wakaba Mu nodded in agreement.
Hai Ling joked: "At least it doesn't look so silly anymore."
Hearing this, Tian Nalin frowned, "So, is that how I appear to you, Hailing?"
"Ah~ So, Tenna-san, you don't realize it?"
Hai Ling asked back with a smile.
"I……"
Tian Nalin was speechless.
Xiangzi ignored his frustration and asked, "Tenna-kun, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, it feels fine. It just blocks my left eye's field of vision a bit. It would be better if it were a little wider."
"I understand. I'll ask the staff to help improve it."
Xiangzi reached out and took off his mask, which made Chuhua very envious.
Tian Nalin had long been accustomed to this kind of behavior and asked the question in his heart: "By the way, Xiaoxiang, what kind of flowers are on this mask?"
"Snow lotus."
"What the hell?"
Tian Nalin couldn't help but exclaimed.
Xiangzi looked up at him and said, "What's wrong, Tianna-kun? What do you think of this flower?"
"No, no, I just thought of an old friend from my hometown."
"Is it."
As soon as Xiangzi heard him speak, he knew that he was talking nonsense and ignored him completely.
Instead, Miao Meng next to him asked curiously: "Where is your hometown, little brother, and who is your old friend?"
"There is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl in the south of the Tianchao River, her name is Dong Xuelian."
