"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it."
"Tena-kun, why don't you ask Miss Genjumaki for help? With her family's abilities, maybe they can find out who took it."
Xiangzi pretended to be trying his best to share his worries and preached.
Tian Nalin pondered for a moment, shook his head and refused, "It's better not to trouble Miss Xianjuan with such a trivial matter."
Faced with such a brooding girl, he suddenly felt that losing his phone might be a good thing, so that the other party would not get it and cause any trouble in the future.
Hearing what he was thinking, Xiangzi secretly clenched his fists and put aside his only concern.
Since Tian Nalin will not look for Xian Juanxin, what she did will not be exposed.

Chapter 133 You are on the first day and I am on the fifteenth.
In the evening, at the performing arts office.
After finishing the filming, Chu Hua returned to the lounge and lay on the sofa as usual. He took out the photo of himself and Xiangzi taken at the aquarium yesterday to relieve the fatigue left by work.
After admiring it silently for a few minutes, she opened the chat software and browsed her friends circle to see if there was anything new and interesting.
Soon, she saw the post from Aiyin, saying that MyGO had encountered a theft incident while camping, and Tiannalin had a lot of cash and mobile phone stolen. She reminded everyone to pay attention to safety in this area in the future.
Chuhua sat up straight immediately. She knew what special function Tian Nalin's cell phone had, so she immediately sent a message to Aiyin to confirm whether this was true or not.
After receiving a definite answer, Chu Hua, like the other party involved, locked his suspicion on Xiangzi.
She was not making random guesses, but had a basis in reality.
Through the cameras installed near Akabane's rental house, she knew very well that Xiangzi did not go back to rest last night, and even the lights in the room were not on. He only returned home this morning.
Originally, Chu Hua thought that the other party might have stayed at Ruoye Mu's house. After all, the two of them were close friends, and she was clear about that.
Now, looking at these two things together, it is very intriguing, especially since the timing happens to match.
After a little thought, Chu Hua came up with a way to verify this matter.
She first asked Wakaba Mu and learned that Xiangzi did not stay overnight last night, narrowing the scope by half.
Then she opened the chat interface and edited a fake message to test Xiangzi.
Chuhua: Xiaoxiang, the aquarium was really interesting yesterday. At night I even dreamed that I was swimming with fishes at the bottom of the sea. It felt very dreamy.
Chuhua: Xiaoxiang, did you dream about anything at home last night?
After a while, Xiangzi replied: Sorry, no, I slept until dawn last night, and my brain is not as active as yours, Chuhua.
After seeing this message, Chu Hua's heart sank slowly, because the former was lying!
At this point, the result is obvious. It is likely that Xiangzi pretended to be a thief and took away Tian Nalin's mobile phone in order to obtain the latter's exclusive mental channel.
It was possible that while the two of them were chatting, Xiangzi was already listening to Tian Nalin's thoughts and secretly rejoicing.
To verify this, Chuhua sent another message.
Chuhua: Xiaoxiang, are you with Mr. Tianna?
Xiangzi: Chuhua, are you following us?
Through these words, Chuhua seemed to see Xiangzi's cute look as he vigilantly observed his surroundings, but at this moment she couldn't laugh at all.
Chuhua: No, I asked because I saw the message that Ain posted on WeChat Moments.
Xiangzi: I’m sorry Chuhua, I misunderstood you.
Xiangzi: Just as you guessed, I am accompanying him to buy a new cell phone.
In reality, Chu Hua stared at the chat interface with a sad look, his hands still sending messages non-stop.
Chuhua: It’s okay, Xiaoxiang. What new phone does Mr. Tianna plan to buy?
Xiangzi: He plans to buy HUAWEI, which seems to be a brand from China.
Chuhua: But the original phone is lost. Don’t you feel sorry about it, Mr. Tianna?
Xiangzi: He has always been very open-minded and not as fragile as you think, Chuhua.
Chuhua: Really? Xiaoxiang, you really understand Mr. Tianna.
After talking for a while, Chu Hua, having finished testing the waters, ended the conversation using the excuse that he was busy.
At this moment, she was 100% sure that the suspect was Xiangzi, the man she loved.
This reality made Chuhua feel sad, just like a traveler from a foreign country who tasted the bitter taste of Houttuynia cordata for the first time.
"Xiao Xiang, is Mr. Tianna so important to you? Would you commit such a crime, deceive and hurt those around you, just to possess him..."
Thinking of this, Chuhua's heart, which had just healed from an old wound, began to ache again.
"Since you did it first, Xiaoxiang, don't blame me."
Chu Hua then opened the shopping platform and bought the same model of mobile phone as Tian Nalin’s original one, and asked for it to be delivered on the same day.
Then she contacted her agent and moved her work schedule from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow to make room for the upcoming action.
As for what she was going to do, the answer was obvious.
Chuhua expected that Xiangzi must have hidden the stolen mobile phone in Akabane's rental house so that he could charge it in time every day and maintain the effect of the mental channel.
Coincidentally, she also has the key to Akabane's rental house, and no one knows about it.
……
In the evening, Tian Nalin installed a SIM card in his new mobile phone and felt like he had returned to modern society.
He installed the commonly used software, logged into his account, downloaded the backed-up files from the network disk, and processed the messages that had accumulated over the past half day.
First of all, since Aiyin has the habit of posting trivial matters in his daily life on WeChat Moments, the news of him being robbed spread in the group, and he received many messages of concern from girls.
Out of courtesy, he gave a unified reply to the big band group about the specific situation to avoid worrying everyone.
Secondly, the Morfonica band expressed high praise for the two songs "ChAngE" and "Deep Sea Girl" and invited him to CiRCLE for an interview tomorrow.
Tian Nalin naturally agreed to this.
Finally, Miao Mengqin also sent a message saying that the video of the new work had been edited and asked him to go to the Meguro District apartment to see the final effect.
Tian Nalin hesitated for a while and chose to reject the invitation. He asked the other party to send the video and he would give some guidance online.
He was not a fool and could sense that Miao Meng had that intention, but right now Xiangzi alone was enough to give him a headache and he didn't intend to make things worse.
Imagine joining a Mujica band where two people are fighting over who is right and who is not, how much trouble that would be.
Besides, he already has his favorite target, and Rinko Shirogane's favorability is steadily increasing, so he doesn't plan to create any more trouble.
After being rejected, Miao Meng obediently sent the video to him, and he pointed out several areas that could be improved.
After dealing with these things, Tian Nalin turned on the computer and logged into the NFO game, and found that Shirogane Rinko, Udagawa Ako, and Hikawa Sayo were online.
The three girls also saw the news that their friend was online, and immediately took the initiative to send him a team-up request.
Click Accept and the public chat bar will automatically switch to team chat.
Tian Nalin: Good evening, everyone.
Sayo: Good evening, Tianna-san. I heard that your phone seemed to have been stolen. Is everything okay?
The Phantom Thief of the Heart: Yes, I never thought that I, a great thief, would be hunting geese all day long but end up getting my eyes pecked by a goose. It’s really embarrassing.
Seeing Tian Nalin's self-deprecating tone, the girls knew that he was fine.
RinRin: Tenna-san is really strong. (.???)ノ
↑Fallen Angel Princess Ayako↑: Humph, he actually dared to steal Ayako’s friend’s things. Don’t let me run into that thief, otherwise Ayako will make that guy pay!
Tian Nalin: Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yazi.
After chatting for a while, everyone turned the topic back to the game itself and happily started to tackle the dungeon together.

Chapter 134: Substituting one thing for another.
On the morning of the second day, Chihaya Town Residence.
Since there is only one day left until the live performance on Friday, the girls of the MyGO band are going to the basement practice room today to do some ensemble training to get their touch back so that they won’t mess up on the stage tomorrow.
The main repertoires for practice were several new songs, "Henceforth" and "Mengdu Invasion" by Takamatsu Touma, and "Want to Be Cute" sung by Aine.
The first two are famous VOCALOID songs, written by Orange star and [一二三] respectively.
The latter song is a character song produced by the Honey Works creative team for Seina Narumi in "Confessions of Love". It is well-known in the ACG world for its cheerful, lively and cute style.
However, Su Shi's song "Calling the Oath" was rejected by him and he did not plan to sing it at this live performance.
Later, Tian Nalin waited at home for all the MyGO girls to arrive. He instructed everyone to practice a few times before preparing to set off for CiRCLE.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance, he ran into Xiangzi who was walking in.
"Xiaoxiang, why are you here? Aren't you going to the office today?"
"I'll go in the afternoon."
Xiangzi then asked, "Tian Na-kun, are you going out?"
"Morfonica asked me to discuss cooperation, so I went to CiRCLE."
"Is it."
Xiangzi glanced around the living room and didn't see any members of the MyGO band, which made him feel extremely strange.
She had clearly seen five girls arriving with their instruments, so how could they be gone now? And there was no movement at all.
Tian Nalin naturally didn't want Xiangzi to stay at home to avoid discovering the truth, so he quickly invited him, "Xiao Xiang, how about you come with me?"
[We need to quickly take Teacher Daxiang away, lest the underground practice room incident be exposed.]
Hearing the inner voice, a hint of coldness flashed in Xiangzi's amber eyes. As expected, the other party was hiding something from her. If she had not regained the mental channel, it might have been hidden for a long time.
"No, Tenna-kun, I heard you have a basement practice room at home. Can you let me see it?"
"what!"
Tian Nalin was shocked and wondered how the other party knew about this. He had clearly told Aiyin not to spread it.
"What's wrong, Tenna-kun?"
Xiangzi asked with a smile.
"Nothing, since Xiaoxiang wants to see it, then come with me."
In desperation, Tian Nalin had to bite the bullet and open the basement entrance, leading Xiangzi down to meet the girls of the MyGO band who were practicing.
But unexpectedly, Xiangzi just greeted everyone calmly and no one pursued the matter that he had deliberately concealed.
This made Tian Nalin feel relieved, and he felt that the other party had finally become reasonable.
Little did he know that Xiangzi had heard his psychological activities and was therefore taking appropriate measures, pretending to be gentle in contrast.
……
at the same time.
Chu Hua saw Xiangzi enter the house through the surveillance camera and took action.
Disguised, she took a taxi to the vicinity of Akabane's rental house, walked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then took out her key, opened the door and entered.
Compared to when Tian Nalin lived there before, the whole room was more simple and clear, and it also had a faint fragrance unique to young girls.
If she were to visit under normal circumstances, Chu Hua would probably enjoy the meal, but now she had to race against time and had no time for such trivial matters.
Wearing dust-free gloves, Chu Hua looked around and locked onto several places where things could easily be hidden, such as the tatami compartments, the inside of cabinet drawers, under the mattress, etc.
Then she started rummaging around, and after a while she found an iPhone 12 with a fancy shell and a wooden box with a seal inside the cabinet drawer.
"Sure enough, Xiaoxiang got Mr. Tianna's phone."
Chuhua picked up the iPhone 12 and took a look at it, and quickly understood Xiangzi's intention.
The phone in front of me not only has a new screen protector, but the outer shell has also been specially repackaged to prevent others from accidentally seeing and recognizing it.
However, this happens to create a lot of convenience for her, because the current Apple 12 looks like it has just been bought after being packaged, which is more suitable for replacing it with a new phone.
