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

Su Che stood in front of the phone booth, looking into her bright eyes that were gradually narrowing, and made a vow.

……

……

Chapter 32 Nightingale

Ning Ye watched the two people walk into the bar together.

I was somewhat surprised.

"..."

The child seems to have been brainwashed.

She nestled close to Xiao Su like a little bird.

He kept grinning foolishly.

It looks like...

It seems like they can come up with another 40.

"no?"

She held an e-cigarette in her mouth, raised her perfectly sculpted chin, and greeted Su Che:

"It's only 6:30, the store has just opened, and we haven't even taken inventory yet. You two are already here to start your shifts?"

"what…"

"Also, didn't I tell you to rest today? If you insist on working overtime, you won't get your holiday compensation."

Ningning observed someone with a smile.

His gaze lingered on the little guy beside him, who had already lost his mind.

I couldn't help but think to myself:

[You can easily steal a little girl's heart; this money tree is definitely not going to let you go.]

"It's alright, Sister Ningning, we were just thirsty and came in for a drink. I'll deduct the cost of today's drinks from my salary."

Su Che said.

"Okay, I'll deduct the cost price from your bill and throw in a fruit platter for you."

Also, Xiao Yuanxiao, you should really cherish this good brother of yours. I've arranged his work schedule for you. Taking him home isn't out of the question; it's up to you to decide.”

Ning Ye leaned against the bar counter, gently exhaling a puff of mist, a complete change from his previous attitude.

"!"

Yuan Xiao was overjoyed to receive such preferential treatment from the boss's wife.

Her rosy cheeks were even more visible in the dim light.

Her skin was smooth and alluring.

"Let's go to the innermost booth."

"it is good…!"

Su Che took her hand and led her inside.

The layout here is quite telling.

The outermost layer is a small card, open and unobstructed.

The further you go in, the more secluded it becomes.

From round tables to square tables, from small round stools to chairs with backs, and finally to sofas.

The innermost part even has a partition curtain, which can be easily pulled open to do whatever you want inside.

Passersby outside could not see it at all.

Under the watchful eyes of their other colleagues, Su Che led Yuan Xiao to a corner where they could whisper.

"Ah Che, I... I really believed everything you said, you can't lie to me...! I will really remember what you said!"

I can practice the piano well, take good care of your belongings, and completely follow your arrangements!

You can come over to my house anytime. It's quite big; you could easily fit in there, let alone give a lecture, or even dance and have plenty of room to stretch out!

Yuan Xiao was in a state of excitement, and all her previous grievances vanished in the face of Su Che's promise.

She believed him wholeheartedly and thought he would do those things.

The only thing lacking confidence is...

Can he really "crush" the new guitarist?

And all of this happened in just six months... It's really quite...

"What's with that expression? You look so insecure. What, you don't have confidence in me?"

Su Che faced the girl, waiting for his colleague Xiao Wang to serve the drinks, while resting his elbows on the table, his fingers intertwined, supporting his thoughtful face.

"No...it's not that I lack confidence in your ability to teach me piano...it's that I'm afraid I'm really not good enough, that I...I won't be able to learn it, and that I'll embarrass you..."

Yuan Xiao honestly told him what was on his mind.

Facing Su Che, she had no intention of hiding anything from him, and was even worried that she might disappoint him if she didn't reveal her shortcomings early on.

If I tell him all my worst sides beforehand, he should lose interest and give up on me.

The girl turned half of her face to the side, covering her expression with her bangs, and peeked at him.

"fool?"

Su Che looked at her. "Yuan Xiao, do you really think so?"

"Um... I learn things very slowly, and my grades in class are... also at the bottom."

"so what?"

He looked at her calmly. "What does being at the bottom of your class have to do with playing the piano?"

"I...I don't know...but I'm also a bit hyperactive, I can't sit still, I always want to go out and play...and I don't have many friends..."

Yuan Xiao's voice grew softer and softer.

"Oh, you can't sit still, but you practiced the piano so much that your hands were almost bleeding, and your ring finger was wrapped in a band-aid."

"..."

Yuan Xiao covered her face, her cheeks flushed red.

Ah... he found out. Even with all this training, I'm still a noob... sob...

"Then let me ask you,"

Ignoring her evasive attitude, Su Che continued to probe the topic he wanted to know: "Have you talked to a teacher before?"

"I don't."

Yuan Xiao shook her head, her long hair swaying gently with her movement.

Her hair was jet black and glossy under the light, with a cherry blossom petal that had just fallen outside tucked into the roots.

Su Che reached out and picked the flower petals off her head, while ruffling her hair in the process.

"How did you learn without a teacher? You mastered the basics on your own and were able to rehearse with the band, is that right?"

"no……"

Yuan Xiao's face was flushed, she pursed her lips, and confessed truthfully:

"There was a really nice senior at my school who could also play the piano. She transferred schools last year. She taught me a few basic things before..."

Then she recommended some videos and tutorials to me. I was bored at home, so I watched them slowly and learned gradually. After a lot of practice, Kuku became... like this... noob..."

"?"

As Su Che listened, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"You mean, under your senior's guidance, you only understood the basics, and the rest you learned on your own?"

"Ah...you could say that..."

Yuan Xiao wasn't quite sure about her own strength either, so she just raised her small face and nodded in confusion.

"So what did your senior teach you? List a few things for me."

Su Che gradually became serious, leaning forward slightly with a focused expression.

"she……"

Yuan Xiao strained to recall the complex knowledge that was impossible to decipher in her mind, then randomly picked a few and repeated them in the tone of a senior student:

She said, "When learning the electric guitar, don't blindly pursue speed and exam pieces. You should start by building a solid foundation from the basics. And the so-called basics are not boring finger exercises. On the contrary, the essence of the guitar is the arrangement and combination of scales, chords, and arpeggios."

【Holy shit.】

Suddenly, Su Che, who was a guitar teacher, widened his eyes.

His expression was terrifying.

"Ah... what's wrong with you..."

The child was startled.

I don't know what happened.

There are some things I dare not say.

"Continue, you continue."

Su Che narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the child.

They pricked up their ears.

Listen like a bat.

If I had to use just one word to describe it,
