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

Su Che took the matter very seriously regarding the fact that the strong aftereffects of drinking tea could lead to mental confusion and make poor decisions.

It's a minor issue if the release isn't complete, but what if it accidentally hurts a kitten or a bird...?

The consequences would be very serious.

Su Che didn't want to do anything he'd regret, so he needed to discuss it with the old man to see if they could avoid it.

Time passed by, second by second.

When I got to my doorstep, I received a message from Brother Zhang on the phone—

"Xiao Su, your team's manager talked to me about the Mid-Autumn Festival performance plan. I think it's fine. We can arrange for 'Seven Colors' to be the main team for the live performance. Tomorrow I'll start finding people to make posters, launch the website, and start pre-selling tickets."

But I'd like to ask, are you planning to hold a solo concert, or are you looking for a group to perform with? I heard you don't have enough songs; since you're relatively new, you don't meet the minimum requirement of 12 songs for a solo concert. In that case, I could bring in someone to warm up the crowd. What do you think?

"!"

Su Che finished reading and nodded to himself.

It seems that Xiao Xiao has already taken care of the important matter; Zhang Ge has put the Mid-Autumn Festival performance on the agenda.

“Okay, we currently only have about 6 songs. If we practice two more recently, we’ll only have a maximum of 8 songs. We’ll need other teams to help us perform 4-6 songs,” he said frankly.

"Okay, so on this side, would you like me to invite teams you're familiar with, or teams you're not familiar with?"

Brother Zhang handed the initiative to Su Che.

Su Che thought for a moment and felt that a team he was familiar with would definitely be better. However, he was only familiar with a few teams, namely "Shui Se" and "Yin Lv", as well as the Korean team, or the student teams he had met when he first came to Tianlai.

As for the other teams, we've never cooperated with them at all.

"I think the former is better, but if it's hard to find one, then a new team is fine too."

Su Che offered a compromise.

As expected, Brother Zhang had his own plans—

"Well, 'Silver Travel' is too high-profile, I can't get them to come, and 'Water Color' is too ordinary. I don't think the effect on the spot will be very good."

But recently, they split up, and Chuchu, the lead singer of "Silver Travel," and the guitarist and bassist of "Water Color" temporarily formed a new band called "Mercury," a trio. I think this better meets our needs.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Su Che's first reaction was, "Is that so?"

In his mind, Silver Cruiser was a fully-fledged and strong team, and there was no reason for them to split up. Why would a strong team abandon its own team and instead focus on developing a weak team to start over?

But Zhang Ge's words couldn't be false, so if that's really the case, then inviting them to come and play support would be a perfectly reasonable scenario.

"Mr. Zhang, have you told them about this?"

"I haven't asked yet," Brother Zhang said with a smile, "but I think it's unlikely they'll refuse. After all, they're going to be cooperating with you."

"..."

Hearing these ambiguous words, Su Che didn't know how to respond.

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work."

He told Mr. Zhang to make his own arrangements, and that he was only responsible for arranging the rehearsal repertoire; everything else was irrelevant.

Zhang quickly shared a Feihao (Flying Signal) number, which displayed the ID "Chu".

He said, "This is Chuchu's number. You can discuss any music-related matters yourselves. This will also help foster relationships between the bands. I'm just responsible for coordination."

"........."

This put Su Che in a bit of a bind.

Unsure whether to add it or not

Or rather, when to add it.

What should I say after adding them?

Why add it if you're not going to speak?

It's all problems.

And the problems are all quite significant.

To be honest, Bai Chu gave me the impression of... a slightly eerie little girl.

What's strange about it?

It's mainly her personality.

Su Che has met all sorts of girls and has compiled a basic theoretical framework for understanding the potential needs of girls.

But Bai Chu is clearly not among them.

First of all, her talent goes without saying. Her singing voice is very distinctive, with a unique tone. When she performs on stage, she has a unique... sickly quality that makes it impossible to look away.

[But in private, her behavior in bars was a bit too innocent. It was as if she hadn't drunk any alcohol but was trying to act tough, and her motives were unclear.]

Furthermore, regarding the night Bai Chu stayed at Yuan Xiao's house, if what Yuan Xiao said is true, then Bai Chu is very likely...emm...

It "slept" in my arms for about 15 minutes.

This fact forced him to re-examine the relationship between the two.

"What exactly is her opinion of me? Why would she do such a thing?"

"Was it caused by drinking too much?"

"If she was drunk and mistook someone else's embrace for hers, that would be understandable. But no matter how you look at it... she doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't act logically."

Su Che believes that Bai Chu is different from Miya.

Miya's behavior is unpredictable, while Bai Chu's behavior is purposeful.

The two are fundamentally different, so you must be careful and cautious when communicating with her.

After thinking it over, Su Che decided to do it today.

So I sent them a friend request.

[I'm Su Che, and I'd like to talk to you about collaborating with a band.]

He decided to follow the strategy outlined in "The Bad Water Method," starting with the main topic and focusing solely on it, refusing to discuss anything else.

This way, I can still have topics to talk about, and she won't suspect that I have any ulterior motives. It's relatively conservative.

Three minutes later, Bai Chu accepted the friend request.

"Su Che, you finally added me?"

"finally?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you."

"...??"

The bizarre opening remarks immediately left Su Che speechless.

He had prepared several approaches, but he never expected that Bai Chu seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Generally speaking, when facing a strong enemy, the first thing to do is not to lose your composure.

According to the strategy guide, you should first look at the clues that the other party has made public before drawing any conclusions.

Su Che didn't reply immediately. He opened her profile and decided to peek at her WeChat Moments first.

However, the next second...

Today I went back to the countryside to visit my grandma. She said that recently some city people came to worship Buddha and stayed at our house for a meal.

I believe they are salespeople or fraudsters working together to drain the elderly's finances by selling emotional value.

These people are really wicked. I told my grandma that if she sees them again, she should call me immediately, and I will definitely return home quickly to report them to the police and have them arrested.

"???"

Su Che's vision went black.

He wondered to himself, "Wait, why does this feel so familiar?"

Looking at the local customs and culture depicted in the accompanying pictures, looking at the courtyard I once walked through, and the black dog that used to bark at my group...

He was now certain that Old Mrs. Bai was Bai Chu's grandmother.

"Uh, we can't rush this, I need to take another look."

He calmed himself and continued to examine Bai Chu's information.

Her social circle is only visible for the past six months, giving her more room for exploration than most people.

But she clearly doesn't post much content, or she hides it to be visible only to herself, so only a handful of posts are visible.

Among them, the day I drank alcohol a while ago was recorded—

I was in a really bad mood today and wanted to find a place to drown my sorrows in alcohol. I passed by a bar called "Night Listening," and the photos of the male escorts on the door looked really cool, so I couldn't resist going in to take a look.

[He's really handsome. I accidentally got drunk and fell asleep on the table. I dreamt that he picked me up and carried me a long way.]

"..."

She didn't record the rest, most likely because she woke up in the middle of the night and decided to take some action, so it was impossible for her to write it down and post it on her WeChat Moments.

Su Che watched with great interest and continued to observe.

I had a fight with my teammates today. They don't seem to support me finding people outside to form a new team, as if I've abandoned them.

But it would be very uncomfortable for me to sing in a group that's like a machine all the time.

To put it bluntly, my teammates are all like bots. What's the point of singing my heart out? Even if they're incredibly skilled, I don't want to play with bots. Yeah.

"..."

The reason for the split has been found.

Su Che never expected that even someone as strong as Rihe and the others would be abandoned by Bai Chu.

If such teammates were assigned to me, I would be more than happy to accept it, so why would I say that it's like playing against bots?

Sure enough, there was also a post about her feelings after finding new teammates—

I met Yui and Lingyao in "Regeneration". They seemed like nice people, but their teammates weren't so great.
