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

"Then in the future..."

"I have A-Che, that's enough. A-Che won't abandon me. Even if he does, I can just die out there. Hehe. What difference does it make whether I study or not?"

"........."

Su Che rubbed his temples, feeling quite stressed.

To be honest and reasonable, even if Yuan Xiaozhen never worked in her life, her father could still support her and wouldn't let her suffer.

Even if it goes bankrupt, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

Those paintings alone, if auctioned off, could buy Yuan Xiao at least 10 apartments in Tianhai City.

The goddess Ari gave an answer to this question after seeing a photograph of the painting.

The problem is, I can't really let Yuan Xiao live off the family's resources and just sit around doing nothing.

Now that I've taken her under my wing and brought her to the team, making her my teammate, I have to take on the responsibility for her, just like her father.

She wanted to do what her father couldn't;

If her father can't support her, she must be able to support him, even be able to accompany him, love him, protect him, and care for him.

This is Su Che's true thought, the burden he carries on his shoulders.

"What's wrong, A-Che? Why aren't you saying anything..."

Yuan Xiao, worried that he was under too much pressure, leaned over and grabbed his sleeves with both hands, shaking them pitifully, and added:

"Actually, Sister Ningning told me that I can work for her to earn pocket money... I will give you all my pocket money so that you won't be so tired..."

"!?"

【no. 】

Su Che was immediately taken aback by the child's words.

The other girls also had different expressions, clearly having learned a lesson from Yuan Xiao's heartfelt words, and had all learned something truly valuable.

"You don't need to push yourself like that. You can practice your piano at my house from now on. As long as you do a good job with the band, you don't have to work. I'll support you."

Su Che raised his hand and rubbed the little bird's head, giving her a smile.

What he couldn't resist most was seeing his own child working so hard for him. Anyone would be moved by that. The wicked Ningning saw through this and indirectly trapped herself by keeping Yuan Xiao there...

This makes it difficult for yourself to find another job after graduation, which is quite a clever strategy.

[What Ningning wanted was for me to stay as well; there's no need to elaborate on her deeper motives.]

Su Che sighed, thinking to himself that it was good that the villa hadn't been invaded by her, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"Hehe... I knew A-Che was the best to me! We'll never be apart again! I can learn a lot! Besides practicing the piano, I can try to help you with other things! You have to believe me!"

"Well, okay."

Su Che smiled, completely ignoring the fact that she was climbing up the bamboo pole and had somehow ended up sitting on his lap.

Seeing Yuan Xiao play such a good hand, the others also had their own ideas.

"I don't have to go to school, so I can stay home and draw full-time..."

An Qing mentioned, "I can help the designer with the peripheral design, and the vocals can't be neglected either."

"very good."

Su Che nodded, "I will introduce you to Bai Qiao later. You two should get along well."

“Mm.” An Qing nodded without showing any hostility.

"So her name is Bai Qiao?"

Yu tide pondered, "The name is very sweet."

"What does this mean, senior...?"

Su Che immediately became alert.

"Don't be so sensitive, junior. I was just saying that it sounds a lot like dessert. I just wonder if you've ever tried it, dear junior. Tsk tsk."

"!?"

"okay, I get it."

Basically, in Yu tide's eyes, there's no need to pry or fish for information. Su Che's expression often tells you the answer is written all over his face, and it's quite clear.

"No, when did this happen? I've never heard of it!"

Xiao Xiao pouted, utterly astonished by the speed at which her personal designer was sneaking food, since she was very concerned about the gap between herself and others when it came to speed.

"One more or one less makes no difference. With her, our team can truly be better and reach a bigger stage."

With the clothing issue as a prelude, although the women felt that Bai Qiao, this outsider cat, was too swift, they didn't say much. After all, they all had to use her, and everyone would have to rely on her aesthetic sense to adjust the stage styling in the future. In this respect, she still had a certain level of approval.

"Okay, that covers the main points. I hope today's meeting is all set."

Su Che picked up the little bird, stood up, and decided to bring the conference to a close.

Just then, An Qing, who had been keeping a low profile, spoke up again.

She looked into his eyes and, quietly, without warning, asked—

"There's something else I want to know. Now that there are more people in the family, who should be chosen as the lady of the house when Cheche isn't around?"

……

……

Chapter 227 Excessive Stalking

Su Che had long believed that the conflict between the cats had entered its later stages.

As time goes on and everyone gets to know each other better, they shouldn't continue fighting over food like they did at the beginning.

However, there's an unavoidable issue when moving into a villa: "Who makes the decisions at home?"

An Qing's reminder undoubtedly revealed her desire to maintain the same status she had in her old home in her new one, which was quite obvious.

The problem is that Miya was the only cat in the house before. Miya was peaceful and wouldn't fight with Anqing for anything.

Now that Gu Zhi, Yuan Xiao, Xiao Xiao, and the senior are all coming in, even if the senior doesn't come often, and Gu Zhi doesn't come often either, it will be very difficult to gain a voice among the other girls. It's a bit like speaking at a United Nations meeting... It's quite difficult to get support.

Faced with everyone's focused attention, Su Che thought about it carefully and finally came up with a reasonable answer—to delegate power to outsiders and implement an equal rights mechanism within the team.

The advantage of this is that no one will be envious of anyone else, minimizing the occurrence of disputes. And currently, there is only one outsider most suitable to acquire this power—

That's white chocolate.

"There's a lot to prepare and organize for the new house. While I'm away, let the maid handle the household matters for now, and let's not argue about these things. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing his answer, a hint of disappointment flashed across An Qing's face.

What she wanted was obvious, and Su Che was well aware of it, but the balance couldn't be broken just because of taking care of the house cat, as that would be detrimental to the team's future development.

"September is just around the corner, and the preliminary rounds will soon be coming to us. After moving into the new house, the rehearsal space will be much more convenient, because there is a dedicated soundproof rehearsal room in the basement, which is fully equipped and convenient for everyone to practice for a long time, so the intensity may be increased."

"Regarding the fans, Zhang from Tianlai said that we have unknowingly accumulated more than a thousand fans, including about 200 die-hard fans, meaning those who come to support us at every performance. So after the preliminary rounds, I plan to hand over the fan management to Xiaoxiao."

"Great!"

At the end of the meeting, Su Che smoothly changed the subject and assigned all the tasks, setting the next rehearsal date for the first weekend after the start of the semester.

"Can we go to your support live stream tomorrow?"

Just before the meeting ended, Miya raised her little hand and asked this question.

"..."

Su Che firmly refused, "No."

Regarding UU's special performance, he believes it's best not to reveal it. If a large group of people go and cause some trouble backstage, it could affect him, and he might end up ruining his performance.

Thankfully, Miya just said "Oh" and obediently didn't ask any more questions.

But that doesn't mean UU won't brag to her about attending a new live event with her little fans.

-

The next day.

To Su Che's dismay, he saw Miya, Nana, and their familiar friends sitting in a row in the VIP seats. Even Bai Chu, whom he hadn't seen for several days, had appeared in the theater's VIP area...

"no……"

Someone's previously tranquil state of mind was shattered by a sea of ​​familiar faces.

Looking at UU, UU winked and said with a grin, "Every time I hold a special event, I give them a few tickets, so it's inevitable that some relatives and friends will come to spy on me. You'll get used to it."

"…All right."

Su Che tried his best to remain calm. With his extensive stage performance experience, he was usually able to ignore everyone in the audience.

The show starts at 7 p.m. sharp.

Today, UU dressed up in a black gown with a distinctive edgy style. Her hair was dyed silver-white, and her makeup was done by a professional makeup artist. She looked like an elegant witch (a shorter version) walking out of a medieval castle, exuding charm.

Su Che was also given a quick makeover. Since it was a classical music concert, he couldn't be too tearful, so he wore a custom-made black suit, a gray tie, and dress shoes, giving him a low-key, composed, and very jazzy look.

Her already attractive image becomes even more eye-catching when she stands next to UU.

Of course, the best performer of the entire event was Asai Suzune, who played a supporting role.

She stood to the left and behind Su Che, towards the back of the center of the stage. The three of them formed a triangle, with each person illuminated by a spotlight.

Lingyin wore a white dress today, which contrasted with UU's black dress and Su Che's black suit. The two seemed to be setting off her presence. From the audience's perspective, she would definitely be the first person they saw.

Her long hair was loosely tied up and placed in front of her chest, exuding elegance and extraordinary figure.

In the VIP area, Jiang Nai squinted her beautiful eyes and asked Miya, "Who is this woman? Why was she able to easily go on stage and play a duet with Xiao Che?"

Although it was Miya's first time meeting Asai Suzune, she had heard UU describe her as having a long-term collaborator who looked like a vixen and always drew the audience's attention away, which was a real headache.

"Maybe she's a close friend or something. I don't know much about string instruments, but judging from her appearance, just standing on the stage would already be perfect for UU's needs."

Miya looked on with envy, feeling that those beautiful older women were truly beyond words.

When she's in the team, Ari gives off a similar vibe.
