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

"Aya, I'm so worried... can I really go in? A place like this."

"Okay, Yui, wait for me, I'll come down and get you!"

Today, since Master is not home, you can invite your friends to come and visit.

Before leaving, my master said, "Considering your good performance recently, I will allow you to bring your teammates to the studio to use the recording studio for practicing piano and playing together, but each time is limited to 1 hour."

Ling Yao expressed her immense gratitude for this green light.

She knew that, in a sense, this was a form of recognition.

Over the past few days, I've cleaned the entire studio until it's sparkling clean, and all the equipment has been properly maintained. I've even learned how to change the strings, adjust the string spacing, and perform maintenance on this amazing instrument. Although I haven't practiced playing much, I've mastered the art of playing reliably.

Now that the housekeeper's legs have recovered, she'll be back to take over the shift soon...

Ling Yao felt that she would soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Hehe... I'm going to start learning the true scriptures..."

The girl has a very good mindset.

After arriving here, all my previous anxieties vanished because the future looks promising and everything is looking good.

My senior sister is a very nice person, and she's super cute.

She would secretly sleep in the music room, and when her teacher wasn't around, she would secretly go to offer incense to "inspiration," while muttering to herself.

I vaguely heard it; the content seemed to be something like "sleep with me," "forever," "take care of me," or "play with me."

However, the reason her wish didn't come true seems to be because her senior sister, who had a sweet tooth, had stolen one of "Inspiration's" tribute peaches a few days ago...

【…】

Ling Yao thought, "Whatever you eat, you shouldn't eat the peaches placed in front of the Buddhist shrine."

Unless the master says it's okay to remove the food, even if the sky falls, we must never touch it.

My junior sister's behavior is sometimes both funny and exasperating... but as her junior sister, I don't dare to stop her...

[Sleeping on top of that big ladle speaker last time was pretty dangerous, wasn't it...]

[Also, they lay flat on the music production workstation table like cats and bugs, saying that the workstation's material was cool and could relieve the heat, more comfortable than a sofa...]

[Stealing his master's guitar pick, saying he'd give it to someone he liked or something...]

【emm……】

Similar behaviors are countless. Miya has set few good examples, but she has demonstrated quite a few bad ones.

However, it was precisely because of this that Ling Yao was taken seriously by Master Lu, who turned a blind eye to her behavior. He thought the child was very virtuous and would be a very good candidate for a daughter-in-law in the future.

At that moment, the girl swiped her card to open the door and went downstairs to greet her teammates.

Yui waited patiently, carrying her bass guitar and a convenience store bag.

Upon seeing Ling Yao appear, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she rushed forward to hand over the gift.

"Aya! You're amazing now... You've become a musician in high society."

"It can't be that bad..."

Ling Yao waved modestly and took the bag, secretly delighted, and silently thanked Ms. Lin once again.

If it weren't for her, my life might have gone downhill from there, with no chance of turning things around.

"Hehe, what's this? Why did you bring a gift to rehearsal?"

She happily opened the bag and looked inside.

"It's dessert. I know you like pudding, so I bought you caramel pudding!"

Yui pointed to the items in the bag and added, "There are also pineapple buns, fruit candies, chocolate bars, Monster Ace, Oriental leaves, and..."

"Wait! What is this?!"

Suddenly, Ling Yao paused slightly, her face flushed red, and she pointed at the Sixth Sense chewing gum inside, questioning it.

“ah…”

Yui organized her thoughts and began to improvise:

"It's a 30-5 yuan discount, I used it to reach the minimum order amount, so I had to take more things. If you don't need it, you can give it back to me. I'll keep it for later."

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to take the item away.

"No, no, I've already bought it, you can't go back on your word."

Ling Yao hid the bag to her left side and accepted all the gifts.

Hmph... If it were me, I'd definitely be too embarrassed to buy something like this...

Since she bought it for me, I'll need it sooner or later. I'll... leave it for my senior to use.

Her mind raced, and she felt she had made a killing this time.

At this moment, Yui's lips curled into a strange and wicked smile.

—38 Quick Skills: "Mistakenly Choosing a Gift" This skill allows you to assess the other person's emotional state by using the excuse of accidentally buying the wrong item.

It can provide key information, confirming whether the other person is in a passionate relationship or has a desired outcome.

As a foreigner learning Chinese, Yui can seamlessly use such a smooth skill, and it is not easy for others to see through it.

Ling Yao's reaction revealed her true thoughts.

She not only had a crush on her senior.

Instead, she wanted to sleep with her senior.

[That's quite ambitious.]

"Hey, Aya, it's been a while since I've seen you. You look great... You seem much more energetic than when we were in Mizusaki..."

Yui probed indirectly, asking, "Is there any new progress?"

"New developments...?"

I mean, in terms of emotions.

The two walked up the stairs, chatting about things in their lives.

Ling Yao thought for a moment, "Although there hasn't been any substantial progress, the future looks bright. I think our decision to try out the 'Regeneration' interview was absolutely correct. Ms. Lin is a benefactor in my life... If things continue like this, I should be able to... um."

She didn't elaborate on what she was going to say next.

I'm not afraid of anything else, but I have to keep a secret from my best friend.

Ling Yao now understands one thing: there are no eternal friends in the world.

Although Yui is reliable and a good person, sometimes the smile on her face is definitely fake.

Ling Yao could clearly distinguish the smile behind the mask.

and so……

It's better to leave some room for maneuver.

"I'm so envious... I wish Miss Lin could take a liking to me too..."

Sure enough, Yui looked on with anticipation and followed Ling Yao back to the door.

Ling Yao didn't respond, but silently swiped the door lock, allowing her to go inside for a visit.

"Wow--!"

Upon entering the studio and seeing all the top-of-the-line equipment, Yui was almost drooling with envy.

"These racks... these surround sound near-mid-far super stereo monitors... and this exhibit-like wall of speaker heads... Waaah... Aya, just what kind of rich guy is Master Ni? Is he a big collector?"

"More or less..."

Regarding the teacher, Ling Yao described him as "a mysterious figure from Tianhai who is knowledgeable, taciturn, whose wealth is unknown, and who is highly respected."

This is a conservative conclusion drawn from recent observations.

If we were to dig deeper into each one, the results would probably be even more exaggerated than this, no doubt about it.

"Frog Fun..."

Yui is already obsessed with the oversized bass cabinet in the recording studio, and can't move away from it.

I wanted to just plop down on it, no, I wanted to tumble down on it.

Or kiss her.

"Be rational and stop touching the speaker. If you get it dirty, I'll have to clean it."

Ling Yao frowned and reminded Yui to withdraw her small hand.

It has to be said that Yui, having been immersed in the Japanese music scene, is already a bit of a tech enthusiast.

Although she didn't have much money, she knew all the model parameters of various equipment like the back of her hand, and when it came to tuning, she was indeed ahead of everyone in the team.

Seeing all the amazing instruments in Studio 61, and then stealing a glance at the wall of humidity-controlled cabinets filled with guitars worth over 100,000 yuan that could be considered collector's items, she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. She felt that this place was definitely a musician's paradise, without a doubt.

"Even the bass is there... Teacher Ni is really an omnipotent god."

"Yes, I've seen him play the bass. It was when he was recording a new song... The teacher used that sound card connected to the AZ directly... and recorded it into the music production workstation in one take, without needing to edit any notes."

"Wow..."

"Let's not talk about the guitar. Just look at my senior's skill level, and you can roughly guess the teacher's skill level..."

Ling Yao sighed, and couldn't help but feel amazed once again—

My senior sister always sleeps around here, and I've never seen her practice the piano much. So why is her skill level so high? Does sleeping improve piano technique and finger dexterity?

How strange.

She was very puzzled.

I cannot understand the structure of Miya.

"I know, I know, Miya, the number one female zither player in Tianhai! Ah, it's so great to be able to become her senior sister."

"We're just nodding acquaintances, and I don't dare to disturb my senior sister's sleep. Oh no, I don't dare to talk to her too much."

"Hehe... I also want a senior sister... That way, when I encounter setbacks, I can cling to her leg and act cute... Maybe I can even get healed by burying my face in her chest..."
