Seeing this, Tian Nalin suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did the current situation seem like the prelude to a young girl's confession of love?

How can this work!

So he immediately looked away and said in a panic: "Deng, it's getting late. You should have a good rest. I'm going back first."

"Oh……"

Gao Songdeng noticed his retreat and lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Goodbye Lin."

"Goodbye Tomorin."

Tian Nalin also realized that he had ruined the atmosphere a bit, so he used a more intimate name to comfort the other person a little before turning around and leaving.

Chapter 29 The second time.

Under the Chitoge Trail Bridge, Tian Nalin stood in the shadows and watched Gao Songdeng enter the building. He was relieved to see the light in the other's bedroom come on before he left.

"She's truly worthy of being called a lantern treasure. Her charm is well-deserved. Even I, a fan of long, straight black hair, almost fell for her. I won't let this happen again next time."

On the way back, Tian Nalin kept reflecting on himself.

Just now, because the atmosphere of the reunion was too good, he inadvertently crossed the line and expressed some overly sincere emotions, almost destroying the principles he set.

Ultimately, in the band MyGO, lead singer Tomori Takamatsu is the absolute core and the key to the band's cohesion.

The title of "Emperor of Lanterns" has some truth to it.

If they dated the other party and it resulted in "the king never attending court again", not to mention whether Aine would feel bad, Li Xi would definitely not be able to pass this test, and it might even cause a crisis of disbanding the group.

This is also the reason why Tian Nalin has always wanted to keep a distance from the girls. Once the band starts to play around with each other, it will be the end of them.

"You must be careful in the future and not be alone with Dengbao anymore. But at the same time, you must act naturally and not let others notice."

After finishing his self-reflection, Tian Nalin's mind returned to business. Now that Su Shi was no longer going to help him practice "double thinking", he could only ask others for help.

But apart from Li Xi, the only person left was Toyokawa Shoko. After all, he loved little Mutou so much that how could he possibly treat her as a "training girl".

"As expected, I still have to ask Teacher Daxiang to make a guest appearance. I hope she's not busy tonight."

Taking out his cell phone, Tian Nalin copied last night's chat history to save trouble and sent it again.

Tian Nalin: Sorry to bother you, Teacher Xiangzi. Are you free tonight? I have a few questions to ask you.

After the message was sent, until I returned to Akabane's rental house, the other party showed that it had been read but not replied. Instead, Chuhua sent a message first.

Chuhua: Mr. Tianna, are you free to meet me soon? I'd like to give you tickets to Mujica's performance.

Tian Nalin: If you are free, can we have the private room in the coffee shop as last time?

Chuhua: Okay, please contact me when Mr. Tianna arrives.

Tian Nalin: OK.

After finishing the chat with Chuhua, just when Tian Nalin thought that this invitation was impossible, Xiangzi suddenly agreed.

……

11 pm.

The door of the rental house was opened and Shoko Toyokawa walked in wearing the same white pajamas.

But the difference was that this time she was holding a small bamboo basket with some cups, bowls and paper bags in it.

Tian Nalin asked curiously, "Xiaoxiang, what's that in your hand?"

"I bought some black tea. Is it okay for me to borrow Tenna-kun's electric kettle?"

Although Xiangzi was asking verbally, he actually picked up the mineral water and poured it into the kettle without waiting for anyone to answer.

"of course can."

What else can Tiannalin say?

[Oh... no, Xiaoxiang's band affairs seem to be going pretty well. He even has the leisure to make some black tea.]

"Yes, the first album will be almost finished in a few days, and the promotion is also going smoothly."

Xiangzi pressed the water button and knelt down beside the low table.

She would never say that she wanted to ask someone to taste her cooking to thank them for their help.

"Then I wish you success, Xiaoxiang."

As Tian Nalin spoke, he tidied up the clutter on the table to the side so that the girl could use it to make tea later.

At this time, Xiangzi noticed a half-finished wooden sword on the table. It was painted with beautiful purple patterns and there were several circles of red silk thread wrapped around the middle of the handle.

"Tenna-kun, do you like Bushido culture?"

Noticing the girl's gaze, Tian Nalin explained, "This is a gift I prepared for PasPale Wakamiya Eve. The 27th is her birthday."

"I see, Tenna-kun and PasPale have a pretty good relationship."

The girl said calmly.

"Fortunately, it's mainly because Caicai and the others are very kind."

Tian Nalin didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that there was a hint of sourness in Xiangzi's words.

"Indeed, Maruyama-san is an optimistic and positive idol. It's normal for Tenna-kun to like her."

Xiangzi had known about Tian Nalin's submission to the performing arts agency for a long time. After all, they were from the same agency. However, since PasPale had its own exclusive events division, it was difficult for the two parties to meet each other.

Then Xiangzi asked again: "Can I ask Tianna-kun in advance what birthday gift you are going to give to Chuhua?"

Tian Nalin thought this was a good opportunity, so he switched to dual thinking mode and replied, "Sorry, please allow me to keep this a secret."

【Xiaoxiang, guess.】

Hearing the inconsistent answer, Xiangzi frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Then she saw Tian Nalin's slightly smug smile and realized that he did it on purpose, probably to fulfill his plan that night.

"Tenna-kun, how did you do that?"

So Tian Nalin explained his method with a show-off mentality, and at the end he asked: "...So, can you please help me, Teacher Xiangzi? It will only take you half an hour."

"No."

Xiangzi refused firmly, "I'm not interested in being your trainee."

"Hey——Why is that?"

Tian Nalin was very disappointed. It seemed that the plan for actual combat training had completely failed.

Xiangzi ignored the former's pleading look, stood up, took the boiling electric kettle, and brewed all the tea sets to warm them up.

She had another consideration for not agreeing. If she really agreed, wouldn't she become a person of the same level as Nagasaki Suyo?

When Tian Nalin saw that Xiangzi ignored him, he no longer had any hope for the matter. He calmed down and concentrated on appreciating the other's graceful tea-making movements.

The girl used her soft and slender fingers to take out about 5 grams of tea leaves, weighed them, and dropped them into a cheap white porcelain teacup. She then picked up the kettle and slowly poured boiling water at about 90 degrees into the cup along the wall to soak the tea leaves. She then covered the lid and quickly poured the liquid into the fairness cup. Her overall movements were neither hurried nor slow, and she knew every step clearly.

"Tian Na-kun, this step is called washing the tea. Some teas can be stimulated and awakened using this technique."

Xiangzi explained softly, as if he really wanted to teach him.

"Ok."

Although Tian Nalin didn't know much about tea art, he could still appreciate the girl's elegance from her posture. The small rental house seemed to have instantly turned into a teahouse filled with the fragrance of tea.

Follow the above steps again. This time, Xiangzi pours the water more slowly, covers the lid and lets it sit for about 10 seconds, and finally pours the bright red tea into the tea cup.

"Please enjoy it, Tenna-kun."

The girl placed the tea cup in front of Tian Nalin and gestured with her hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiangzi."

Tian Nalin picked up the tea, smelled it, and took a sip. He felt that the tea was fragrant and mellow, with a hint of floral and fruity aroma. The taste was very good. He even began to like the taste of black tea.

and many more!

The next moment, alarm bells rang in his heart.

[It seems like Su Shi developed a habit of drinking black tea because of Xiao Xiang. He was unknowingly left with an indelible mark by this woman. Am I going to be assimilated too?]

Chapter 30 The fist is hard.

Hearing Tian Nalin's inner thoughts, Xiangzi's amber eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

She asked with a half-smile, "Tian Na-kun, how does this tea taste?"

“It’s delicious, just like the taste of early summer.”

Tian Nalin praised.

At the same time, he thought: [Compared to Xiaoxiang's black tea, it seems that Rikki's tea tastes better.]

boom!

Xiangzi placed the teacup heavily on the table. The girl seemed to be emitting cold air comparable to Siberia, and the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

Seeing this, Tian Nalin thought to himself that things were not going well, because he had made two fatal mistakes in a row. Not only did he say in front of one girl that the other was not as good as the other girl, but he also forgot to cover it up with double thinking.

"Tena-kun, do you need me to call Shiina-san over for you?"

Although Xiangzi had a bright smile on his face, it was chilling.

"No, Xiaoxiang, please listen to my explanation."

Tian Nalin quickly came up with a clever excuse, "That was just a lie from Doublethink, it's not true! The tea you brew is amazing, it's my favorite."

"Is that so? Don't be polite next time, Na-kun."

After saying that, Xiangzi filled his glass and gestured for him to drink it with a "gentle" look.

Helplessly, Tian Nalin had no choice but to pick up the tea cup and do as he was told.

However, as soon as he put down the cup, Xiangzi immediately filled it with another one, and his meaning was obvious.

Ugh……

Tian Nalin sighed silently, swallowing the bitter fruit of his own making while lamenting the pettiness of the girl in front of him.

But this time he used double thinking to hide his true thoughts under the compliment so that the other party would not notice.

It was not until a few minutes later, when the brewed black tea turned light yellow, that Xiangzi let him go.

"Tian Na-kun, I'll leave this tea set and tea leaves with you. You can make some whenever you want to drink."

Xiangzi realized that he was being unreasonable and immediately softened his attitude.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Xiangzi, for your hospitality."

Although Tian Nalin was a little dissatisfied after drinking a belly full of water, it was his fault for saying the wrong thing.

"You're welcome, Tenna-kun, you seem to have some questions to ask, right?"

"Yes, I didn't have time last time..."

Before he could finish, Xiangzi interrupted him and said, "Tian Na, it's getting late. Let's continue teaching."

"Ok."

Looking at the girl's slightly embarrassed pretty face, Tian Nalin knew what to do and said nothing more.

……

Because he drank too much water, Tian Nalin had to go to the toilet after only half an hour of teaching.

When he came out, he found that Xiangzi had fallen asleep on the table again.

At this moment, Tian Nalin's accumulated resentment erupted, mixed with indignation towards the girl.

[Damn it! Teacher Daxiang, if you're so tired, why don't you just rest early and come over here to make me some black tea? I ended up drinking a whole bellyful of water. You're so bored!]

[Oh no, I forgot girls don’t have balls.]

At the low table, Xiangzi, who was pretending to be asleep, clenched his fists. He felt ashamed and angry at the same time, and his face turned red.
