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

Her approach was to use indirect methods.

"Yes, I live in a house with cats."

"You own a cat?"

"Ah."

Miya took the violin, connected the cable, and explained while adjusting the speaker's tone, "He likes to keep cats, so I told him to keep cats."

"oh oh……"

Ling Yao seemed to understand but not quite, "Then he's very important to Senior Sister, right? After all, he's the one who took her in."

"Yes. Very important, the most important."

Miya didn't mince words and gave the answer directly: "More important than my family."

"!"

At this moment, Ling Yao seized the opportunity, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly asked a thought-provoking question: "Compared to Master?"

"... "

Miya paused, glancing at her with a troubled expression.

I always felt that this junior sister seemed to be somewhat inconsiderate of the other person's situation when she spoke.

Do I have to answer?

"Uh……"

“Then I’ll be frank. My master is indeed very good to me, even better than my parents, but if we’re talking about who holds the most place in my heart, I’ll definitely care more about the cat. Because he raised me, so we’re the closest of friends.”

"I see."

Ling Yao understood.

The eldest sister has already taken root in my mind.

They would rather betray their sect than not choose their seniors.

[As expected, the senior's charm is boundless; even someone like my senior sister is captivated by him.]

"Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but Senior Sister, I always feel that for us qin players, the 'heart of the instrument' is of paramount importance. This is something Master once mentioned."

"Ah."

Miya nodded silently.

"So, senior sister, do you think being with this person who... who owns cats, will affect your 'musical heart'?"

"Will do."

"Huh...?"

Ling Yao originally thought she would say something to refute her, such as "We will improve together" or "We did not influence each other", but to her surprise, she confessed without being asked.

“After he took me away, I wanted to be held by him every day, to see him every day, and to be touched by him every day. I wanted to live in his arms, to lie on him, and to see him as soon as I opened my eyes every morning. But the more I thought about it, the harder it was to achieve these goals.”

Miya sighed, "It's impossible for this state not to affect my piano playing. I guess my teacher is already disappointed in me. And when he really gives up on me, junior sister, you have to step up and protect my teacher's reputation for me."

The kitten's self-deprecating words shocked Ling Yao.

I never imagined it would affect me to such an extent.

I've only been here a few days, and I'm still in the stage of cleaning toilets, dusting, and maintaining the piano... How could I possibly take on so many responsibilities?

Even if we take a step back and say that we have the desire for a "showcase" or something, we don't have the hard power that we've accumulated over the years.

Is this correct?

Seeing Miya's anxious expression, Ling Yao put down the mop and sat down in front of her.

She comforted her, saying, "Senior Sister, don't be sad. He's not gone, he's just out of reach. At most, he was out having fun and forgot to come home. Now that Master has stepped in, are you afraid you won't see him? I think we should just keep a calm mind, really."

"Ah."

Miya smiled helplessly, "It's not that I'm afraid of not seeing the cat owner again, but I'm afraid that the cat owner... will have his most important thing taken away, and I won't get to have the first bite..."

She paused, then said with a self-deprecating smile, "Don't laugh, I'm just that selfish. I want to pursue pure things, whether it's practicing the piano or other objects."

Especially for cat owners, even though I know he can't be a purebred, I still... can't help but lean against him. It's my own fault for being so pathetic; I can't blame anyone else.

"..."

[It's hopeless. It's severe.]

Ling Yao's face hardened.

Suddenly, I felt surrounded by experts.

If all the women pursuing the older generation are considered rivals, then Miya is undoubtedly one of the most competitive among them.

She could ask her master for support, and she could also disregard traditional views on chastity and choose to be like a moth drawn to a flame.

They yearn for each other day and night, their hearts are devoted to one another; once they join hands, they can spend their lives together.

Who wouldn't be wary or fearful of a player of this caliber?

Now, it seems she's worried about something more advanced, like her senior's chastity.

That kind of thing, from the very beginning, was something a player like me could never hope for.

I don't deserve it at all.

Forget about chastity, I can hardly even bring myself to look at him more than a few times.

Hmm... Come to think of it, does he still remember my name?

It's hard to say for Ling Yao.

I just feel that the troubles between people are on completely different levels.

She didn't know how to comfort Miya, so she stood up again and decided to clean the room first.

The housekeeper has been on leave for many days, so I've taken on the entire cleaning job for the studio myself.

She didn't practice the piano much, but she became very adept at housework.

I can't even imagine how blessed anyone who marries me will be.

Ling Yao felt that she was quite competitive in terms of being a virtuous wife.

"By the way, junior sister, how's your band doing?"

While practicing, Miya suddenly asked, "I saw online the other day that 'Water Colors' disbanded."

"Ah... yes."

Ling Yao was surprised that her senior sister actually cared about this.

Her face stiffened, and she immediately replied, "The information about the disbandment is true, but Yui and I have already gone solo and regrouped with the others."

"Oh, I see. Is the new teammate reliable?"

Miya expressed her concern for her junior colleague.

"Very reliable, she's one of the top idols in Tianhai City, and extremely cute, second only to you, senior sister. I think she's a pretty solid choice."

"...!"

Miya found her junior sister's pleasant way of speaking quite agreeable.

Miya is naturally guileless; she's happy when she's happy and joyful when she's joyful. Now that she's been praised for being cute, her face beams with delight. If she had a tail, it would be soaring high in the air.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good. That looks really cute."

She accepted the compliment without hesitation.

"However, the only ones who can be called top-tier idols are probably those of Bai Chu's caliber."

"Senior sister, do you know Chuchu?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh? It really is her?"

The kitten observed its junior sister's expression, and seeing that she didn't object, it pouted, looking somewhat displeased.

"Junior sister, if Bai Chu is the lead singer, then you don't need to flatter me. When it comes to cuteness, I don't think I can even come close to her."

"No, no, you're both adorable in your own way, you can't compare them!"

Ling Yao's little mouth is very sweet, as if it's coated with honey; a kiss from her would probably leave a sweet taste.

Miya pondered for a moment, then asked again, "But doesn't she have her own 'Silver Traveller'? Why was she able to reunite with you? I haven't heard anything about 'Silver Traveller' disbanding."

"Yes, Yui and I were lucky enough to be selected by the person in charge of 'Regeneration' who wanted to make us famous, which is how we met Chuchu."

Chuchu is highly skilled, and she came to relieve stress, so it's not really a solo project, but rather a hobby team she's playing with.

"understood."

Miya nodded slightly. "I saw her come to the studio to record a song last time, so I guess the teacher recognizes her too."

"Wow...so all the talented people come here to record?"

“That’s right.” Miya said noncommittally. “Besides the rising stars, I’ve also seen many exceptionally talented musicians around here, but the teachers often ignore them. Some people have asked to see me dozens or even hundreds of times, but they still won’t be allowed to enter.”

"..."

Ling Yao understood something and asked, "If I may ask, is one of the portraits in the stairwell actually of Ms. Lin?"

"Yes."

"What is her relationship with her master...?"

Ling Yao's gossipy nature stirred, and he wanted to get some relevant information from his senior sister.

To everyone's surprise, Miya pondered for a long time, seemingly unsure how to describe this complex and illogical relationship.

After pondering for a long time, I finally managed to come up with a sentence:

"Regular meetings can resolve some needs in a relationship, is that right?"

She paused, then used herself as an example:

"If I grow up, I'll probably end up in a relationship like that with cat owners. But what's different about me is that I can have kittens for the cat owner. That way, the cat owner will focus more attention on me and the kittens, so I won't be at a disadvantage."
