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

-

……

In the Flower Room Live rehearsal room.

Miya was holding her phone, calling Jiang Nai who hadn't arrived yet to ask about the situation.

All four teammates arrived and were waiting.

Mommy's eyes were not kind; after all, it was a rare recording day, and the absence of the bassist meant that nothing could proceed.

Jiang Nai has always been one of the less troublesome members of the team, so her sudden skipping of rehearsal today was truly unexpected.

"crooked?"

Miya's subdued voice came through the microphone.

"Um……"

The person on the other end answered weakly.

"Nana, why does your voice sound so weak? Are you sick?"

The child blinked curiously and asked, puzzled.

"...Well, I guess so. I'm exhausted and would like to ask for leave..."

"Why? Today is a very important day, we're recording a music video, aren't you coming?"

"...I, I can't get up."

"Huh?!"

"Can't get out of bed?"

Upon hearing this, the women all reacted with different expressions.

Since the microphone is hands-free, the external speaker volume is loud enough for all teammates to hear.

UU's first reaction was panic.

Because she knew very well that Nana's "lover" was her little fan and the person she was asking about her fortune!

This is like having your territory invaded by a bad fox, which is absolutely intolerable!

Miya wasn't scheming at all. She figured Miya was probably just exhausted or maybe UU had cursed her again, causing her menstrual cramps and illness.

Yi Xiang was just watching the show, but she didn't like teammates who weren't present when it was time to rehearse. She felt that Jiang Nai was not only dressed up, but was also wasting everyone's time on important matters and was not very reliable.

As for goddesses.

The goddess's face was hidden by her bangs. She had undergone exquisite makeup and styling, but her expression was sinister and her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed.

Of everyone present, she was the one who knew best about the relationships between Su Che and the women.

The current situation is making her a little impatient with waiting.

He turned his back to everyone, took out his phone, and sent a message to someone—

"Are you free next week? How's your thinking about the modeling thing going? If possible, how about we meet again sometime? After the holidays, I'd like to treat you to something to eat, is that alright?"

Chapter 213 The Maid Cat's Plea - Relationship Heats Up (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Just when he feared it, Su Che received an invitation from his goddess.

I had already agreed to the modeling offer, so there was no way I could refuse.

However, the timing seems to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which slightly clashes with my own numerous schedules.

He could only stall, saying, "Okay, Miss Ari, is it okay after the holiday? I'll contact you as soon as possible after the holiday."

"Mmm. It's so great that you could come... I'm looking forward to seeing you!"

The goddess readily agreed, and said she should relax when the time came.

Su Che didn't understand why he should relax, but he didn't press the matter. He just sighed silently, feeling that the pressure of meeting her was too great.

Moreover, as for modeling and such... I have no experience in this area, so it's certain that I'll be at her mercy, and that's unavoidable.

"Cheche, why have you been bringing back so many tea bags lately...?"

At home, An Qing watched him tidying up the tea storage compartments on the bookshelf and couldn't help but curiously come over to ask him.

She had noticed that recently, every time he went out, he would bring home large bags of tea, and he would secretly store them somewhere, even putting a glass lock on them, as if he was afraid someone would steal them.

Do we even have to be wary of ourselves?

The girl didn't quite understand.

Su Che's heart skipped a beat. Naturally, he wouldn't easily reveal the truth. He simply gave a few perfunctory words: "Ah, they were gifts from an elder. Because they are of rather rare varieties, I've been saving them all for future gift-giving."

Are you giving a gift?

"Correct."

“But Cheche, I see you make tea yourself... Before you leave in the morning, you secretly boil water to make tea and then store it in your thermos that you never used before…”

The girl suddenly uttered a fatal remark, causing someone to become extremely nervous. "Wait, weren't you sleeping at that time?!"

"No, I was just pretending to be asleep."

"!"

"Actually, I can't fall asleep the moment Cheche wakes up."

The girl confessed softly, "After all, there's really nothing to lie on in a big bed for one person, so I would secretly watch your back, watch you finish packing and leave the house, leave me."

"........."

Su Che was speechless. He felt that his cat might have been practicing some kind of evil technique recently, because the things it said always made people feel guilty. He had to reward it.

He closed the cabinet door, turned to face the cat, and went straight to the point:

"Are you harboring resentment?"

“No way…” The house cat avoided eye contact.

"Do you feel bad that I haven't been home for two days and that I've made you feel bad for being alone?"

"Well... not entirely."

"Don't worry about the tea anymore, and don't keep an eye on me all the time. On the contrary, I appreciate that you can tell me everything. In that case, I'm still willing to spend more time with you, provided you behave well."

Su Che approached slowly with a stern face.

The house cat realized something, turned its little face slightly to one side, and used its bangs to cover its smug expression.

It seems like it's coming.

She looked forward to being rewarded with meows in the perfect setting, with the curtains drawn and Miya not around, just like last time.

But unfortunately, this time, closing her eyes only earned her a tight hug from him.

"Okay, okay, I know you miss me. What I can tell you is that I'm working myself to the bone right now, and if this continues, I'll completely break down. I need some time to recover. Anqing, can you understand me?"

"what……"

Upon hearing this, the girl inevitably looked disappointed.

Who doesn't want tenderness?

Especially since absence makes the heart grow fonder, what one needs right now is dry wood meeting a raging fire... isn't that normal?

But she was very sensible and didn't cause any trouble.

Knowing that even if he devotes his energy to other cats, he only needs to wait to receive new, even greater, and more compensation.

Su Che would never owe anyone anything in this kind of matter.

"I understand. Then I won't eat cat food today."

The girl raised her small face and returned his smile with understanding.

……

A well-behaved house cat will greatly increase her standing in his heart, with his affection level increasing by 30 points or more.

In Su Che's eyes, there are thousands of cats, but only one in ten thousand has a good personality.

He can accept a house cat with flaws at first, as long as the cat is willing to be trained and changed.

It seems that An Qing's maturity level is increasing step by step. If she can continue to be this easy to manage, then the position of "mistress of the villa" will probably belong to her in the future.

Su Che silently plotted in his mind.

In the afternoon, he accompanied his cat to a casual dining restaurant downstairs for a low-fat meal, then they went to the supermarket to buy some essential ingredients for the house, and sat in a coffee shop for a while until the sun set before he took her home.

The cat was in a great mood after spending a whole day with the pet, and all its previous resentment disappeared.

After telling her to take good care of Miya, Su Che took a new cup of herbal tea and left home again.

"I might not be able to go home today, but I'm going to pick up some clothes."

These are his exact words.

At 9 p.m., following the latest location he received on his phone, he made all the necessary preparations and arrived at a complex called "September Luxury Apartments".

According to Bai Qiao, she is staying here temporarily and does not plan to go back before the start of the school term.

It's only about 800 meters from Riverside Street, within walking distance, so there's no need to drive.

Uncharacteristically, Bai Qiao did not show excessive anticipation. The two agreed that Su Che would ring the doorbell when he arrived downstairs, and she would open the door to greet him from upstairs.

He quickly entered the residential area without incident.

Although it's called a "luxury apartment," the security here is practically nonexistent; anyone can sneak in without swiping a card.

Because the security guard was a young man, he was playing on his phone in the booth, and the smart guardrail was not long enough, just enough for pedestrians and riders to squeeze in.

Such a park made Su Che shake his head slightly, feeling that the place Bai Qiao rented was not very safe.
