After spending 5 minutes cleaning himself up, he prepared to go out to work at the convenience store.

But that day, as soon as Nalin opened the door, he saw Toyokawa Shoko passing by in her school uniform.

"Is Daisho-sensei going to school so early? I remember that classes at Hanaoka High School didn't start until 8 o'clock."

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted.

"Good morning, Ms. Toyokawa."

Toyokawa Shoko's movements froze, and the girl thought to herself, "I clearly didn't want to run into this guy, so I set out 20 minutes early, only to end up running into him. What a mistake..."

On the surface, Xiangzi forced a smile and replied, "Good morning, sir. I didn't expect we meet again."

"Yes, my name is Tian Nalin. I just moved here recently. I'm looking forward to your guidance."

"That's my side."

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Tian Nalin jogged towards the convenience store without any intention of lingering.

This relaxed Xiangzi's tense nerves and made him realize that the other party really had no special intentions and that what happened last night was just a coincidence.

On the other hand, Tian Nalin was in a hurry. He had to run to the convenience store before 7:, have breakfast, change into his employee uniform, and take over from his colleague who had just finished the night shift.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between the convenience store and his residence is no more than 1 kilometer, and he can get there by jogging in just a few minutes, which he can just treat as morning exercise.

This is also one of the important reasons why Tian Nalin chose to work in this convenience store. He hates wasting his life on the commuting road.

Apply Deng's calculus to calculate: If you spend 3 hours going back and forth every day like a loyal dog named Pare, then the total time in a year is 42 days, which is nearly a month and a half!

This was something Tian Nalin could not tolerate, because he felt that the rest of his life, whether it was one day or several decades, was too short to do what he wanted to do, so how could he waste it on such a meaningless thing.

It’s more interesting to watch the beautiful girls sticking together.

...

At 4 p.m., Tian Nalin finished his work at the convenience store and clocked out.

He changed out of his employee uniform as quickly as possible, ran to the station to take the JR train to Toshima Ward, then got off and ran to Higashi-Ikebukuro to transfer to the Chengdu Electric Arakawa Line and arrived at Kishimojin-mae Station, which is near Takamatsu Touma's house.

Tian Nalin came here just to check on the situation of the other team members. After all, he had graduated and could not meet the protagonists at school.

After arriving at his destination, he turned on his phone screen and checked the time.

"4:... According to normal procedures, Dengbao should be in the astronomy department for club activities before going home, so I shouldn't be late."

So Tian Nalin found a bench near the station and sat down, waiting for the target person to appear.

Later, as train after train arrived, groups of female students wearing various sailor uniforms kept getting off the train and passing by the platform, exuding a youthful atmosphere that made someone feel intoxicated.

"It's so beautiful...JK will never get boring."

Suddenly, a girl with short gray hair and wearing a Haneda uniform stepped off the train, drawing his full attention.

【It appeared, it’s the lantern treasure! 】

At the same time, Takamatsu Deng was startled by the strange male voice that popped up in his mind, and stood there looking around like a frightened animal.

'Yes, is someone calling me?' the girl thought.

[Hey, what's wrong with Dengbao? Did he see someone he knows?]

Seeing Gao Songdeng doing this, Tian Nalin also looked around, but did not see any familiar characters.

Chapter 7 The best of both worlds

When Nalin's voice, which had not passed through her ears, sounded again in her mind that day, Gao Songdeng finally confirmed that her feeling was correct. There was indeed an unknown existence talking to her in the void.

"Is it the Eight Million God? ...But why did the God call me Tomorin?"

After looking around for a while without any results, Gao Songdeng simply stood there and waited.

In her opinion, if the "Lord God" had something to do, he would definitely come forward and give her instructions, so it would be better for her not to wander around.

Tian Nalin on the opposite side saw Gao Songdeng's appearance and understood who the other party was waiting for.

【Could it be that Deng Bao is waiting for Li Xi? 】

[No, this is behind the Moon Forest, or maybe it's Sushi.]

[Strange... Logically, their misunderstanding shouldn't have been resolved by now? Could it be that I really triggered some kind of butterfly effect?]

Just as Tian Nalin was wondering, Gao Songdeng was shocked by new words.

"God... do you also know Riki and Sushi? But why didn't you come to me?"

Under the influence of negative emotions, Gao Songdeng habitually began to reflect on himself.

"As expected...it's because I'm too ugly that the gods are unwilling to come up and talk to me."

Thinking of this, Gao Songdeng lowered his head sadly.

When Tian Nalin saw the former's expression, he thought that Deng was remembering his past memories, and he felt very distressed.

[Don't be sad, Dengbao. As long as Sheng Aiyin transfers in next month, everyone will quickly clear up the misunderstanding and come back to you. Then you can form a lifelong band.]

"Huh?" Gao Songdeng looked up in surprise, "Is this true?"

Seeing the girl suddenly speaking to an empty place, it was Tian Nalin's turn to be surprised.

[Dengbao...who are you talking to? ]

[But even when Dengbao talks to himself, he's so adorable. Who wouldn't be confused?]

"Obviously... I'm not cute at all."

Hearing the sincere praise from the God, Takamatsu Deng felt a little shy and her cheeks turned slightly pink.

She clenched her right fist and raised it to her chest. After a moment's hesitation, she mustered up the courage to step forward and speak. "Well, well... although I don't know who you are, God, thank you for your comfort."

These words immediately attracted the attention of the people passing by.

Curious, surprised, teasing...

The gazes filled with various emotions made Gao Songdeng suddenly realize what he had done.

She quickly bowed to the front, said "sorry", picked up her schoolbag and trotted off the platform.

--Eh?

Tian Nalin, who was watching everything, was even more puzzled and really confused.

------

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Tian Nalin returned to his residence carrying boxes of things.

After last night's intensive study, he learned a method that even newcomers to music can use to transcribe music and compose it.

You just need to learn how to use relevant music software, such as FL Studio and Cubase, and use the simplest method to piece together the song bit by bit like a puzzle, and then use the relevant programs to convert it into sheet music.

So after meeting Takamatsu Deng just now, he ran to the Shimokitazawa second-hand market to buy basic equipment he would need, such as a computer and headphones, as well as introductory books on music theory and arrangement, and almost spent all his remaining savings.

Fortunately, the convenience store will pay salaries tomorrow to alleviate this predicament. By then, I can get more professional arrangement equipment such as Midi keyboards, and then sign up for cram school to learn professional knowledge.

Before entering, Tian Nalin glanced at Toyokawa Shoko's residence and found that the room was dark and there was no movement inside.

"Strange, why hasn't Teacher Daxiang come back yet so late..."

According to the school rules of Yuqiu, which focus on the rate of admission to higher education, students cannot work part-time jobs outside the school too late, and there is a total limit on the number of hours per week to prevent the work from consuming too much energy and affecting students' academic performance.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko was definitely not late for work, which made Tian Nalin, who had watched many anime, feel nervous.

"The security situation in Akabane is not very good. Could it be that something bad happened to Teacher Daxiang?"

After putting the things down, Tian Nalin immediately went out and searched the road leading to Akabane Station, but found nothing unusual. He could only wait near the station exit.

To make matters worse, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky soon after, and the temperature quickly dropped by several degrees.

"Hey, Teacher Daxiang, please don't let anything really happen to you."

Although he would laugh when he saw a beautiful girl suffering, he did not want her to really encounter any dark things.

Just when Tian Nalin was getting more and more worried, Toyokawa Shoko finally appeared in his sight with an umbrella, which made him feel relieved.

On a rainy night, the blue-haired girl walked slowly with her head down, as if she was relying on her willpower to drag her tired body, and she was out of tune with the people passing by.

Seeing this scene, Tian Nalin suddenly felt that Toyokawa Shoko was really delicate. Just because the weather was a little cold, her fair and tender cheeks were frozen slightly pink. She had a kind of beauty that made him feel pity for her, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

【Teacher Daxiang has worked so hard. 】

At the same time, Toyokawa Shoko also heard someone's inner voice and frowned slightly.

"It's this guy again..."

But this time she didn't have the energy to get rid of him, because not only had she worked overtime for half an hour due to a customer's complaint, but she also accidentally fell asleep on the subway and missed her stop. She was exhausted both physically and mentally.

So Toyokawa Shoko no longer cared about Tennalin and let her follow her like this, since the latter already knew her address anyway.

The only annoying thing was that the other party's voice kept coming, which made her even more upset.

Customer service representative Xiaoxiang didn't give any bad reviews today. Even when she's exhausted, she's still elegant and beautiful.

[He's getting home so late from get off work, has Teacher Daxiang not eaten yet? Should I ask my colleagues to make an excuse and bring him some lunch boxes...]

No, with Mr. Daxiang's pride, he probably wouldn't accept this kind of help. Instead, he'd probably find a serious excuse to refuse and never go to that convenience store again.

How can I help Teacher Daxiang?

Listening to Tian Nalin's inner voice, Toyokawa Shoko's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Why did this guy know her character so well...

Could it be that the other party likes her and has secretly investigated her situation?

Thinking about this, Toyokawa Shoko walked slower and slower. She was considering whether to come clean and warn Tian Nalin not to bother her anymore, otherwise she would call the police.

But if she did so, wouldn't it mean that her deliberate avoidance of others last night would be exposed? She felt a little hesitant because of this.

Behind Toyokawa Shoko, Tian Nalin didn't notice the girl's abnormality, and he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Oh right! I want to learn music theory, so why not hire Mr. Daxiang as my tutor? His hourly rate of 4000 yen is definitely worth it, considering his musical level. That way, I can have the best of both worlds."

The key question is how to let Teacher Daxiang know my urgent needs. Besides, as a man, will Teacher Daxiang worry that I might be up to no good?

[Either we set up the teaching location in a public place, or we could simply find an agent to guarantee the teaching. However, this way, they would take a cut, and the money that reaches Teacher Daxiang would be less.]

Listening to Tian Nalin's inner mumbling, Toyokawa Shoko quickly did some calculations.

If you go there five times a week, each time for one hour, that's equivalent to an income of more than 5 yen per month, enough to offset rent and living expenses.

In this way, she can reduce the wasted time in her part-time customer service job and focus her main energy on future development. The temptation is huge.

For a moment, Toyokawa Shoko was no longer so resolute about her decision to confront him. After all, this was not a one-sided charity, but a mutually beneficial one.

However, until she returned home, Toyokawa Shoko did not respond to Tennalin. She felt that she should get to know this "new neighbor" better, at least to find out why she could hear the other person's thoughts, and then make a more cautious and safe choice.

Chapter 8 A turn of attack

The next morning, Tian Nalin was awakened by the doorbell.

He rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and his consciousness instantly became extremely clear, because Shoko Toyokawa was standing outside the door in her school uniform.

[Oh my god! Why is Teacher Daxiang here? Could it be that my stalking was exposed?]

Shoko Toyokawa looked up at the stunned person with a warm smile on her face, like a pure angel who had descended to earth.

She held up the bag in her hand and greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Tianna. These are the rice balls I made. If you don't mind, please accept this small gift."

Tian Nalin came back to his senses and took the gift with both hands, "Thank you Miss Fengchuan for the gift."

[Is it true that Teacher Daxiang is so gentle and kind to ordinary people? Oh my god, it's so beautiful.]

At this moment, Tian Nalin finally understood why Nagasaki Sushi and others were obsessed with Bai Xiang. This kind of charming charm can only be experienced in person.

Hearing his praise, Toyokawa Shoko's amber eyes narrowed slightly in pleasure, and she asked with a smile, "Mr. Tenna, have you just woken up? Did I wake you up?"

"No, no, Miss Fengchuan, why don't you come in and have a seat and a glass of water before leaving." Tian Nalin said politely.

Normally, most people would refuse by saying they have to go to work or school, but what he didn't expect was that Toyokawa Shoko actually agreed.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Tianna."

After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko brought a gust of fragrant wind past Tian Nalin and entered the entrance hall, looking at the scene in the room.

It was a small apartment about the same size as her rental. The living room, occupying about half the area, was right at the entrance. A square low table sat on the tatami mat in the center. Further inside were the bedroom and bathroom, evenly dividing the remaining area.

Tian Nalin was still standing there in a daze, unable to react immediately.
