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

She patted her chest and assured him.

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll really need your help if I run into any problems."

Su Che rolled his eyes at her.

"OK!"

Lin Xiao gestured with her small hand and then winked at him.

A short while later, the two parted ways at the door.

It was three o'clock.

Su Che walked towards his home, feeling a little tired of today's "afternoon tea".

"Xiaoxiao is good in every way, except that she is sometimes a little naughty."

Although she can maintain a proper demeanor in public, she is quick to act and has exceptional problem-solving and work skills, making her a top-notch secretary...

But this secretary also harbors various dark desires that aren't too difficult to satisfy.

For example, just now, it was pitch black, and we weren't allowed to turn on the lights, put on clothes, or be shy or not exert ourselves, making it feel like we were doing something bad, which was very stressful.

"But it's good that she managed to find material and can continue the work."

Su Che, wanting to be a good person to the end, sincerely hoped that she could break through her bottleneck and earn some royalties.

I suppose that after this wave, the small needs should be basically resolved?

[This way, I can focus on practicing drums and accomplish my assigned tasks.]

"Ah."

"Anqing is getting better, and Xiaoxiao is okay too."

"My senior and Yuan Xiao are quite happy too."

"Next up is Gu Zhi."

Su Che has his own clear itinerary plan—

Before the three rounds of performances, we made sure to get the teammates in the right emotional state so that everyone could focus on rehearsing and practicing, and improve their teamwork.

This is to ensure that no cracks appear inside when the Mosse Cup arrives.

“Miya once said that if the team is not united, no matter how strong the members are, they will not be able to come together.”

Su Che wholeheartedly agreed and felt that his team had great potential.

"As long as everyone follows the established procedures, everything will be fine."

"With the passage of time, everyone will be better off, and everyone's problems will be solved. Then everyone will be able to perform perfectly and achieve my goals."

His grand ideals are drawing ever closer.

They believe they still have a chance.

Even if an individual doesn't have a chance, the team still does.

If a team has the opportunity, defeating someone becomes possible.

Proving oneself is also possible.

"I may not be as good as you, but the girls I train will definitely be better than you."

"You are selfish and only care about your own life, never thinking about me. A person like you is bound to lose completely."

"My cat and I will scratch you to death. We will never admit defeat to you."

Su Che clicked his tongue, thinking that even if Buddha himself came,

I can also jump out of that five-finger mountain.

His inflated ego was evident in his words.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The meeting place with Gu Zhi was near the Grammy Piano Shop.

When asked why she didn't go to her house, she said that Aunt Gu was going home today, so it wasn't convenient for her.

Therefore, the small music room outside became her first choice.

"I need a quiet corner, a small room that can only accommodate two people, with no outside sight, absolute privacy, and a place where I can also inspect my work."

These are her original words.

Su Che readily accepted.

He doesn't need to bring his instrument; he can just go to the music store and play a duet with her using an electric keyboard.

When I got to the main intersection of the riverside commercial street, I saw Gu Zhi standing gracefully by the traffic lights, carrying a large AZ bag on her back.

"I'm here!"

She waved at him.

Su Che's gaze fell upon her, and he slightly tensed up—

I noticed that things seemed different from before.

Because it was the beginning of autumn, Gu Zhi wore her favorite long-sleeved clothes again today.

The slightly tight gray yoga crop top accentuated her bust, creating a striking silhouette.

The sharp contrast between the slender waist and abdomen and the upper body creates a striking visual impact.

Her blue denim shorts reached her upper thighs, and below her snow-white skin were a pair of flesh-colored, form-fitting tank tops.

The shoes were strappy sandals that exposed the toes.

Paired with the milky white bass behind her, it was a truly breathtaking sight, so dazzling it made one's heart flutter.

"Hiss..."

Su Che was completely absorbed in watching.

Seeing that he still hadn't come over even though the light had turned green, Gu Zhi couldn't help but raise her arm and wave to remind him not to daydream anymore.

"Brother Che, if you stare at me like that, you'll reveal all your inner thoughts on your face."

"Hmm? What are my inner thoughts?"

Su Che walked over quickly, his face tense as he tentatively asked.

"You're trying to kill me."

"?"

"Oh, I misspoke. I meant, you want to play games with me until you die."

"..."

The general meaning remains the same.

Su Che felt that her guess wasn't entirely wrong.

After all, no man can resist the physical temptation that is so close at hand.

He is now able to accept Gu Zhi's beauty.

Because ignoring it won't work; she'll show you through her actions that you're a pervert.

Why are you dressed like this today?

He coughed lightly and changed the subject.

“Because I was always bundled up before, Yuan Xiao said I looked bulky last time, and I felt very wronged.”

"what……"

"I'm just slightly chubby, not obese."

She puffed out her large chest and emphasized, "So starting today, I plan to wear lighter clothes when I'm only meeting you, and then bundle up when I go out by myself. What do you think?"

"There's no need to take such good care of me."

"is it?"

Gu Zhi smiled, pursing her lips. "Do you know it's about taking care of me?"

"Um……"

Su Che pondered, "I'm not stupid. I can tell who is giving and who is receiving."

He offered her a hand, and she naturally leaned in and took his arm.

"Let's go. Why did you suddenly want to practice the piano with me secretly today? Why didn't you go find Teacher Jiang?"

He looked at the road ahead, keeping his gaze as straight as possible.

"Teacher Jiang is being boring."

"No fun?"

“Yeah, every time she comes, after teaching me a few moves, she mentions you and complains to me that you haven’t visited her lately, and she can’t eat anymore. She feels like she’ll starve to death if things continue like this.”

"...?"

Su Che sighed helplessly, "I figured even if she doesn't see me, she probably doesn't eat much normally... Her dieting has become a regular part of her life. She eats her weight loss meals year after year, unlike others who eat them week by week or day by day."

"Yes, I think she's no different from a vixen."

Gu Zhi nodded.

"But speaking of which, Brother Che, she told me last time that your relationship with her is completely innocent, and nothing beyond online friendship has ever happened. I'd like to know if that's really true?"

"...!"

"Is Teacher Jiang telling the truth?"

Gu Zhi glanced at his eyes and vaguely caught a hint of unease in them.

"Probably, we haven't seen each other many times."
