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

Whether it was a spirited young child, an introverted boy who had studied music since elementary school, an elderly man sitting on the judging panel, or a formally dressed staff member, everyone was listening to the piano and watching the violinist's slender and alluring figure; not a single person's gaze was fixed on Wu You.

This situation infuriated UU, but she couldn't blame her. She couldn't very well say, "You're being kicked out of the team because you're too beautiful, so we're terminating your contract," could she?

And that's how the gap between good friends appears.

UU is a little jealous of Asai's high sexual attractiveness, but from Asai's perspective...

She believes that UU is a pure genius who has shone on major stages at a young age and earned astonishing amounts of money, something that other musicians, especially violinists, cannot achieve, as it is difficult for them to compete alone without an accompaniment.

Even if you join a large symphony orchestra and become a principal player, the profits won't come as quickly as with the UU model.

Moreover, the concertmasters of advanced string orchestras are all top-notch veteran artists; a recent graduate like myself shouldn't even dream of it.

"Since she's taken a liking to you, I'm not going to interfere anymore, little fan. I'll give you the master bedroom later, and you can live in my big room."

"Asai, you're in room number 3. You can't keep coming to see my people without a reason, understand? I'll be coming home for surprise inspections from time to time."

UU made threatening remarks beforehand and laid out three rules, attempting to prevent further communication between the two through such a rudimentary method.

But this is obviously useless in front of those who are determined.

Su Che, who had visited her home once, vaguely remembered that the master bedroom and the so-called "Guest Room No. 3" were separated by about five rooms, making them the two bedrooms furthest apart in diameter.

UU's arrangement is most likely intended to place the other girls in the middle room as human defenses, creating obstacles and barriers.

But this kind of operation might be a bit childish for Asai.

"Okay, I definitely won't cross the line. I have my own principles. You can rest assured, Yu."

Asai said something subtle, but UU didn't detect anything amiss and was immediately relieved.

"Hmph, then it's settled for now. Little fan, you can find a moving company in the next three days to move your things to my place."

As for the car, I remember you have one. If not, I'll try to get you one so you can use it for now.

As for anything else you're missing, just let me know. In short, since you're staying at my house, I certainly won't let you down.

With a wave of her hand, UU generously arranged everything.

Feeling grateful, Su Che quickly packed up his equipment, ready to start the ensemble and accept her inspection.

The three returned to their positions, forming a triangular formation.

UU sat on the piano bench, Su Che stood directly in front of the stage, and Lingyin was to his right and slightly behind, facing the music stand.

The rehearsal officially began as the magnificent tone of the Steinway grand piano spread out.

~

Su Che was very familiar with UU's abilities, so he was not surprised by her perfect performance. However, Asai Suzune behind him was a different story.

I wasn't paying much attention to her earlier; I was so captivated by her persona that I overlooked her instrument.

At that moment, the violin's timbre burst forth, its rich emotion instantly supporting the entire movement and stunning the listener.

The specs on this instrument... it sounds like it's worth more than just a few hundred thousand...

Su Che is quite sensitive to the quality of musical instruments.

Grand pianos in concert halls, needless to say, can easily cost over a million dollars. But in the world of violins, if a violin's dynamics could outshine a million-dollar grand piano...

The quality of the instrument speaks for itself.

It is very likely a super heirloom-level artifact.

[It may have used top-quality wood.]

Su Che came to a conclusion, then glanced back at Asai Suzune, becoming even more interested in her identity.

He continued to observe secretly.

Within the framework provided by UU, Asai's skills are beyond question. Having undergone the baptism of a top academy, she will not make any mistakes in rhythm and cadence. And most importantly, her performance is simply too captivating.

It's the kind of ability that can draw all eyes to the surrounding area simply by standing still.

Su Che glanced at it a few times and was immediately alarmed. He turned back and forced himself to focus on the task at hand.

He felt that this girl had a kind of magic that could easily make people go astray, and that he shouldn't have too much contact with her.

My main task right now is to settle the house situation and move in as soon as possible. When I get home, I also need to have a meeting with the cats to see who wants to move in. As for other things, I can't focus my energy on them right now.

If you can't even handle things at home, and you're also held back by people outside the family, then the road ahead will definitely be difficult.

He was absolutely certain of this and activated his defenses, deciding to indiscriminately block all other women from spying on and attacking him.

This step perfectly met UU's needs.

UU was very pleased to see that he could actually play continuously for 5 minutes without glancing at the bell!

I think that little fans can indeed be selfless and act according to their own wishes! That makes people feel at ease!

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all! You've really practiced well! I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle so many complicated passages! Now it seems I completely underestimated your potential."

After the audition, UU smiled broadly, got up and walked in front of him, tiptoed and deliberately raised her little face.

"........."

Su Che understood what she wanted to do and hesitated for a moment.

"What? We've done nothing together, what are you shy about?"

UU's desire to solidify her position in the family was blatantly obvious, but Asai Suzune, with her exceptional emotional intelligence, cleverly used the act of putting away her violin to turn her back on him.

He didn't even look in their direction, giving her and him a few seconds to interact.

Helpless, Su Che leaned closer and chose to satisfy UU's vanity.

He knew that the witch cat had a rather assertive personality and was extremely straightforward, preferring to speak her mind and directly state her needs.

The difference between her and Miya is that Miya always silently endures her grievances; she is infinitely passive.

But UU couldn't stand it. Not only would she not stand it, she would also use a crystal ball to divine and cast curses on her enemies...

It can be said to be extremely aggressive.

With a slurp, the moment it ended, UU Shuang tasted the flavor of the man's skin and licked her lips, still wanting more.

"Let's leave it at that for today. We'll have a proper discussion once you've officially moved in."

UU was quite satisfied and quickly added, "Regarding the key, I'll give you yours after the performance tomorrow, and I'll also have your name engraved on all the smart locks. OK?"

"Yes, it's perfectly fine."

Having completed his task for the day, Su Che gestured to Asai Suzune with his eyes before turning and heading towards the lounge with his equipment.

UU originally wanted to go over and play with him, but as the main character of the concert, she had a lot to do, and she had to practice for 9 hours today to keep her hands hot so that she could achieve zero mistakes tomorrow.

In her professional field, she is very strict and will not neglect her duties just because she wants to have sex with Su Che, which would be a loss.

But Asai Suzune doesn't seem to think so.

As a support musician, she, like Su Che, could leave after finishing her part.

The arrangement of strings was not difficult for her, and she felt no pressure at all.

So after she finished packing the instrument, she said goodbye to UU and then naturally went to the outside of the foyer.

Immediately afterwards...

He suddenly quickened his pace.

He jogged to catch up with Su Che's retreating figure, and, to his slightly surprised expression, handed him his business card.

"Che-kun, sorry to bother you, this is my contact information. If... if there are any problems with the performance, please feel free to contact me anytime."

"what……"

When it comes to serious matters, there is no room for error.

"That's all for now! See you tomorrow, Che-kun!"

After saying this, Lingyin didn't linger and left the scene with her violin case in her arms.

Su Che's vision blurred slightly.

When she stood next to me just now, her height, enhanced by her high heels, didn't seem shorter than mine, giving off a rather... married woman vibe?

Moreover, the fragrance wafting through the air as you brush past me is more irresistible than a cat's claws.

Now that his gaze was fixed on the business card she had given him, Su Che noticed that below the four characters "Asai Suzune" was a note indicating his identity as "Spokesperson for Asai Solid Wood Musical Instruments Co., Ltd."

He immediately took out his phone and checked, and found that the company's headquarters were in Japan. It was a well-known leader in the violin manufacturing industry, producing all types of violins, including violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Its reputation was no less than that of Mosse in the piano industry.

"So that's his true identity?"

Su Che looked up at her disappearing figure, lost in thought.

"As expected, like attracts like. UU has achieved so much at such a young age, so the people she invites must be experts in a similar situation."

As a spokesperson, collaborating with UU would benefit her brand by promoting it, earning a stable appearance fee, and strengthening her network of contacts – it's the smartest option from every angle.

"Another point is that when she's on stage, she seems to have a greater appeal to the audience than UU..."

This phenomenon is even more subtle... Perhaps, the benefits she can reap from UU are even greater than those from UU herself, who is clearly the main character.

Su Che was quite sensitive to this kind of thing, and couldn't help but feel a sense of worry—

"Should I remind UU about her current situation?"

"If we ignore it, UU will suffer a great loss in the long run, won't she? That child... is too honest."

The witch cat has a stubborn and unyielding nature, and she won't consider so many details in the struggle between women, so it's inevitable that she will get hurt.

Even though she has astrology skills, she can only draw conclusions through divination, not by being a prophet.

Moreover, UU is under too much pressure on a daily basis. Practicing the piano alone drains almost all of her energy. If she collaborates with Asai Suzune, it is very likely that the more they collaborate, the more her network will be absorbed by Asai.

Just like dancing with a Devourer, the longer you stay in contact with it beneath its beautiful, disguised exterior, the more severe and irreversible the backlash will be.

"As my sugar daddy, I might have to be a little wary of her..."

Su Che has a good ability to distinguish right from wrong. In his mind, UU is innocent, UU gives him money, UU is generous, they have slept together, and UU has told his fortune (divination), so UU is good.

Lingyin is unfamiliar, Lingyin looks like a married woman, Lingyin is too beautiful, able to attract someone like me who is already immune to women, this is not normal, so there is something wrong with Lingyin, Lingyin is bad.

With this in mind, he made up his mind that if he wanted to investigate Lingyin and collect evidence that she was using UU to climb the social ladder, all he needed to do was move into the villa himself.

"We'll be seeing each other all the time, so it'll be easy for me to figure out what kind of person you are. If you want to leech off UU, you'll probably have to ask me for permission first."
