At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Surprisingly, she actually offered an explanation—

"What I'm thinking is to focus on doing things right now, so as not to disappoint everyone's expectations or force anyone's contracts to be terminated. That's enough... As for things further ahead, I... haven't thought that far ahead yet."

She had her head slightly lowered, her bangs obscuring her profile, which evoked pity in people.

No one could see her predatory, predatory expression hidden in the shadows.

“Ari, you don’t need to think about these things. You’re already very tired. You’re the one in the whole team who needs to take care of your health the most.”

Hayasaka unconditionally protected her, saying to the other women:

"The fact that everyone here can team up with Ari is of great significance to your future development, and I think everyone should understand that."

Ari is capable of going solo; forming "Hana-Hyou" was merely a way to please the company's upper management, nothing more. I hope everyone cherishes this opportunity and refrains from raising any more difficult questions.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Yi Xiang stopped talking, picked up the drumsticks, and began to adjust the sampling machine with her other hand.

UU and Miya exchanged a glance and both felt that the atmosphere in the team was so suffocating before rehearsals had even started.

Could it be that another prophecy is about to come true?

No one knows what Ari is really thinking.

She won't tell anyone in the team.

The only person I've ever talked to about my love life is An Qing.

An Qing knew that Ari had always been alone since childhood, a fact that was completely inconsistent with her outward appearance.

When asked about this issue, Ari explained it as the "time bet theory".

It means to use limited energy as a stake, going all in on events that can improve oneself.

That way, you can't go wrong.

Today, she has realized that doing so is not without its drawbacks.

The biggest drawback is that time waits for no one.

Yes, not being in a romantic relationship ensures that I don't waste my emotions and also allows me to maintain a steady pace of improving my professional skills.

But Ari has already seen through the cost of doing so.

"Youth is like the season of flowers."

"Once the season of flowers is missed, you will never be able to show your most beautiful side to the person you love."

By the time she realized this problem, her youth was already nearing its end.

I don't have much time left, so I need to find the most suitable "flower owner" for me in the shortest amount of time.

One's appearance will not last forever like an artificial flower.

Given this, the above allocation becomes a verifiable gamble.

We met with her to give Ms. Su enough face and to do our best in terms of social etiquette.

If it's not a good fit, then be straightforward. Even if it means giving up your career, you should still say no.

Then he turned around and chose to plunder An Qing's share.

That was originally mine.

If Hare hadn't existed, he would definitely be mine.

Ari smiled, a smile that was both alluring and sinister.

The significance of the "greenhouse" being open

It was all for the purpose of waiting for the "flower master".

Once a suitable flower owner is found

Then it's time for this store to truly close down.

All my actions are aimed at finding that suitable existence.

Whether it's drawing, singing, debuting, or joining a project, it's all good.

Being arranged is also a kind of arrangement.

Others' opinions can also be a reference point for choosing a path.

To the left is the eldest son of "Lingyun," the CEO whom I have never met before, and the son of Ms. Su;

On the right is Little Red's wonderful boyfriend, the one whom the artist is devoted to, loves to the core, and is afraid of being taken away by someone else.

They are very familiar with each other and can easily befriend each other.

So, if you have to choose one of the two,

"Who should I choose?"

"Is it the distant and uncertain future, or the true heart right before our eyes?"

Ari fell into deep thought.

……

……

Chapter 159 The Repressed Senior and the Sweet Melancholy

Making choices is a frequent occurrence that everyone must face on their life's journey.

Small things are called choices, but major life events are called decisions.

Regardless of social status or position, every choice made in matters of the heart will determine the course of one's emotions for a significant portion of their life, and even who will be by one's side in bed.

Ari has many factors to consider, but Su Che doesn't.

—He couldn't think about it.

...

The suite's king-size bed was noticeably softer than my own bed, but the person in the bed had changed, so the sleep experience wasn't the same as before.

"Junior, you just slept with me like that?"

At this moment, Yu tide lay on her side next to someone, looking at him with disbelief as he finished his afternoon nap, her pretty face pale.

She was a little unsure whether his stillness was genuine or a tactic of playing hard to get.

"Yeah, didn't we agree that I'd do the same thing here as I do at home? Senior, to be honest, your bed is really high-end, and it's the kind of bedding that keeps dust mites away. Not bad at all."

His voice was unhurried and relaxed, conveying a sense of profound enjoyment.

In the "Resist the Temptation of Senior Sister" challenge, Su Che achieved a score of 3 hours and was rated SSS+.

"..."

Seeing his smug expression, Yu tide gritted her teeth, feeling even more defeated.

While it can't be said that this is entirely bad, after all, it's known that An Qing eats very little at home and doesn't get particularly rich nutrition.

But this self-destructing truck-like experience made Yu tide realize once again that her attractiveness to the opposite sex might not be very strong.

She couldn't help but grab his collar anxiously and pressed him for an answer: "Junior, tell me the truth, even if you stripped me naked and laid me out in front of you, would you still not feel any interest in playing with me?"

"...?"

Su Che's expression froze, and he thought to himself: Is this even human language?

[You don't think I suppressed my evil fire so easily, do you?]

On the surface, however, they showed him full respect:

"No, but senior, don't forget the team's rules—whoever gets something, everyone else must also get something."

Therefore, if I don't want to become a dried-up corpse, I must stop these dangerous thoughts in time.

He paused, then took the initiative: "Putting aside whether it's attractive or not, don't you think it's unfair to me to tease you like this without actually letting you have a good time?"

"what?"

"Look, I can't do anything, yet I have to bear all of this. Aren't I innocent and at a disadvantage?"

"..."

"As a young and vigorous college student, not only do I have to be brought into your home, but I also have to maintain a clear mind under numerous tests. Isn't that difficult for me? Isn't that exhausting?"

"........."

Upon hearing this, Yu tide was momentarily speechless.

"You mean, because the 'team' restricts you, you can't show me your beastly side as usual, is that right?"

Her words became increasingly dangerous and circumvented the "issue of patience" he wanted to emphasize.

"..."

Su Che pondered that if they continued talking, she might end up like UU, thinking about leaving the group.

So he pulled back from the brink, saying, "No, no, first of all, I'm not usually a beast; I just have a particular fondness for beautiful girls."

Secondly, even without a team, I would feel a lot of pressure being with you, senior.

He spoke frankly, “Our social classes are different, so even if you are willing, I have to consider whether your family is willing, and the various problems that will follow after you have your fun.”

"..."

Su Che's move was a basic skill from the "Bad Water Technique"—"Reasoning."

The effect is to dampen the opponent's spirits by spouting boring platitudes before the fierce battle, directly cooling down their desire. The tactical rating is 37.

As expected, those words successfully extinguished most of Yu tide's anger, calming her down a bit.

"So, you're thinking about the issue of mismatched social status?"

"probably."

He did not deny it.

Compared to Yu tide, Su Che clearly preferred to spend time with girls like Lin Xiao and An Qing who didn't have any special backgrounds.
