So when it was Tian Nalin's turn to pay, he said with disdain: "Who said that I always like long, straight black hair? You really can't be trusted."
Tian Nalin was in a hurry to catch up with Xiangzi, so he just gave him a look that said "What do you know?" and trotted out of the convenience store without much explanation.
However, after he went out, he found the girl standing by the door waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
When Xiangzi saw him coming out, she moved her snow-white and smooth legs under her skirt and left.
Tian Nalin smiled knowingly, walked over to the girl and said, "Xiaoxiang, since you're so busy with work that you don't even have time to eat, why don't you share some of the tasks with your teammates? For example, Sister Hailing is very smart and capable."
"unnecessary."
"Xiao Xiang, being brave and being strong are two different things. Don't get them confused."
After saying this, Tian Nalin was prepared to be scolded by Xiangzi, but the girl's next reaction once again surprised him.
Xiangzi nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Tian Na-kun is right. I was just impulsive."
"Eh?"
Tian Nalin widened his eyes in surprise, as if he was looking at a stranger.
[Da... Oh no, is Xiaoxiang fainted from hunger? He actually accepted other people's opinions.]
Hearing this, Xiangzi sighed silently: "Could it be that in Tianna-kun's eyes, I am a headstrong and unreasonable person?"
"Uh...how is that possible?"
Tian Nalin denied it verbally, but his inner thoughts once again revealed his thoughts.
【Isn’t that the case? 】
Hearing his true feelings, Xiangzi gave him a cold look, as if to say, don't do it again, otherwise you'll have to wait and see.
Tian Nalin, knowing that he had been exposed, looked embarrassed and immediately tried to change the subject.
"By the way, Mr. Xiangzi, are you free tonight? I have some questions I want to ask you."
Xiangzi hesitated for a moment and said, "About an hour. Come back after I finish other things."
"Are you really free? If not, let's do it another time."
Tian Nalin was worried that the girl was trying to be stubborn again.
"Tena-kun, are you questioning the teacher?"
Xiangzi asked back firmly.
"No, no, let's do it today."
……
In the middle of the night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Tian Nalin sat in the cool and comfortable rental house, editing the videos recorded during the day on his computer.
Feeling a little thirsty after staying in the air-conditioned room for too long, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of water, then glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the display.
[It's already past 11 o'clock, Teacher Daxiang must have fallen asleep.]
Just when Tian Nalin thought that the blue-haired girl was going to break her promise again, there was finally movement at the door.
"Tenna-kun, if you don't stop calling me that, it will bother me."
Tian Nalin stared blankly at Xiangzi who entered the room and forgot to reply for a moment.
In the sight, the girl was wearing a loose white pajamas, with soft blue hair as smooth as silk casually scattered on her shoulders. Her delicate face, stained with moisture, was more gentle than usual, as charming as a lotus emerging from the water.
The only pity is that this set of pajamas is long-sleeved and has long pants. Except for a little bit of spring at the neckline, the rest of the body is completely covered, even the feet are wearing white stockings.
Noticing his obsessed gaze, Xiangzi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and turned around to close the door.
The sound of the door bolt closing freed Tian Nalin from that embarrassing state, and he stood up consciously to pour tea for the other party.
[So... Mr. Xiangzi went to take a shower.]
Ignoring his inner thoughts, Xiangzi sat down on the cushions beside the low table and felt himself relax.
Compared to her hot, humid, and alcohol-smelling house, the current cool and clean rental house was like heaven.
If she didn't take a shower to wake herself up beforehand, she was worried that she would accidentally fall asleep.
"Teacher Xiangzi, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
Xiangzi took the special teacup, picked it up gracefully and took a sip.
Sitting back in front of the computer, Tian Nalin smelled the faint fragrance wafting from the girl, his heart beating faster and faster. He raised his glass again and took a big sip of water to relieve the heat in his heart.
"Xiao Xiang, do you underestimate your own charm? How dare you come to my house in the middle of the night and be so defenseless against me?"
"I believe in Tenna-kun."
Xiangzi said calmly that although the other party was a pervert, his character was at least better than most men.
[Damn it, Xiaoxiang, now that you've said that, it seems I'm destined to be worse than an animal tonight.]
Tian Nalin subconsciously thought of that old joke.
Xiangzi got the gag through his mind, glared at him with a slightly annoyed look, and then, suppressing his rising embarrassment, said, "It's getting late, Tenna-kun, let's get down to business."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiangzi."
Just as he was about to close the music app, Tian Nalin suddenly thought of something else. "By the way, Xiaoxiang, I recorded a new piece today. How about you give me some advice?"
"can."
Xiangzi sat next to him, took the headphones and put them on.
Tian Nalin clicked the play button, and the song "Yellow" was transmitted to the girl's ears along with the electric current signal.
The moment the moving prelude sounded, Xiangzi couldn't help but close his eyes and listen carefully.
Suddenly, all the sounds from the outside world disappeared, and only the beautiful and romantic melody of "Yellow" remained in her ears, and even her heartbeat was synchronized with it.
With the perfect accompaniment amplifying her voice, Tian Nalin's clear and bright singing voice seemed to turn into a beam of light in the darkness, penetrating the thick wall of her heart and illuminating her heart.
Although there is no date, no confession...
But the beautiful singing filled with passionate emotions really made her heart beat fast.
At this moment, Xiangzi's inner world became colorful, and all the fatigue accumulated recently disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't until the song ended that she slowly opened her eyes, and the noise of the indoor electrical appliances came into her ears again.
Looking at the blue-haired girl in front of him with a trance-like expression, Tian Nalin felt satisfied.
Just now, the always picky Xiangzi listened to the whole song carefully without any pause or dissatisfaction. The sense of accomplishment brought by conquering the arrogant character is simply unparalleled, not to mention that the other party is his musical mentor.
[How about it, Xiaoxiang? I sang well, didn’t I?]
Facing Tian Nalin's smug smile, Xiangzi snorted and turned his head, unable to utter any words of rebuttal.
……
Half an hour later.
Because he drank too much water before, Tian Nalin went to the bathroom.
When he came back to solve the last few questions, he suddenly discovered something very bad.
Xiangzi fell asleep without knowing when.
The girl lay beside a low wooden table illuminated by a desk lamp. Her sleeping face was like a delicate Epiphyllum, blooming quietly in the night, delicate and charming.
"Xiaoxiang looks so pretty when he's asleep."
Tian Nalin was amazed.
"It's beautiful, but Xiaoxiang, you're really making it difficult for me."
Shaking his head helplessly and getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Tian Nalin took out a clean air-conditioning blanket from the bedroom cabinet and gently draped it over the girl.
Then he thought about it, took out a spare pillow and placed it next to the other person, then turned off the computer and desk lamp and returned to his bedroom to rest.
the next morning.
Tian Nalin woke up due to his biological clock, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the bedroom, only to find that Xiangzi was no longer in the room.
Next to the coffee table, all that was left was the neatly folded air-conditioning quilt and a few strands of blue hair with a faint fragrance remaining on the pillow, which were traces of the girl's existence.

Chapter 24 Do you care about me?
Hanasakigawa Girls' College.
There was a sparse drizzle outside the window, and the annual encounter between the plum rain season and Dongdu was still in full swing. The tangled sweat stuck to the window glass, making it wet.
Wearing a white sailor uniform, Hachiman Kailing sat in her seat, packed up the lunch box she had just finished eating, and stuffed it back into her handbag.
At this time, her cell phone vibrated twice. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Toyokawa Shoko.
Xiangzi: I'm sorry to interrupt your lunch break, Ms. Yawata. I want to ask you something related to your position in the band.
Hailing: Ms. Fengchuan, please speak.
Shoko: Ms. Hachiman, are you willing to take on the responsibilities of Mujica's vice-captain?
Hai Ling did not agree immediately, but asked: What does the deputy captain need to do?
Xiangzi: I would like to ask Ms. Yawata to supervise the training of the team members and take charge of some daily affairs of the band while I am away.
Xiangzi: Don't worry, these matters are not difficult and are within the scope of what a high school student can handle, such as band expense management.
Hai Ling thought for a while and replied: Yes.
Xiangzi: Thank you Miss Hachiman for agreeing. We will discuss the details in detail when we meet this afternoon.
Hailing:Okay.
Putting down the phone, Hai Ling looked a little relieved, as if she saw that the band's development was finally on the right track.
In fact, she was very aware of Xiangzi's busyness and wanted to contribute to the band, but she was concerned about his strong personality and had never taken the initiative to speak up. It would be best if he could take the initiative to bring it up now.
While she was thinking, a box of [Melting Milk Jelly, Chocolate Flavor!] was placed on her desk by a white jade arm.
Since this wasn't the first time, Hai Ling asked without even looking up: "Do you need my help again?"
"No, it's just a simple treat."
Li Xi withdrew his hand and said.
"That's really rare."
Hai Ling glanced at her friend with a slightly teasing look.
"Humph."
Li Xi made a slight nasal sound, as if he was acting coquettishly to the former.
Then the girl crossed her arms and asked, "You seem very busy lately?"
Hai Ling still didn't rush to answer, a playful smile appeared on his handsome face, "Are you concerned about me?"
Li Xi was stunned for half a second, then closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Hai Ling stopped teasing and replied calmly: "I officially joined a new band and just became the vice-captain."
"That's really gratifying."
Li Xi returned the sentence to his friend exactly as it was, even using the same tone.
Hai Ling didn't care. Without stopping, she pulled out several stacks of banknotes from her handbag and placed them on the table in two piles, using the upright box of "Melting Milk Jelly, Chocolate Flavor!" as the dividing line.
"What do you mean?"
Li Xi's slender eyebrows were slightly frowned.
Hai Ling pointed to a smaller stack and explained, "This is the proceeds from your help recording the video last month. It's about 6 yen to be split equally among the four of us. Since we're all underage and don't have bank accounts, Tenna-san asked me to transfer it to you."
Then she pointed to another pile and said, "This is for Lenai-san. It's about 30,000 yen. Tena-san said to give it to you to keep as money for her matcha parfaits and other things."
"Are you familiar with that guy?"
Li Xi asked with pursed lips, without reaching out to take it.
