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

If you pay the tuition, you can retake the courses and earn credits at the same time, which will allow you to graduate smoothly.

His idea naturally touched the cat deeply!

"Cheche, you... haven't forgotten me yet?"

"?"

"Oh, no, I mean, you're so good to me..."

An Qing pretended to wipe her eyes, thinking to herself that she wished this warmth could last forever.

She would not be satisfied, but she was also very clear that now was not the best time for her to return to school.

"Seven Colors" is at its most critical juncture. As the vocalist and the core of the team, I simply don't have the spare energy to devote to the campus.

She must first fulfill Su Che's long-cherished wish so that he will be willing to spend more on her, to gain a lot with a little, and to completely control the future in her hands.

Another even more frightening point is that, given Su Che's current earning power, with an extra 10 or so yuan a year, and assuming the band hasn't taken off and he hasn't found a new path, the most likely scenario is that he'll be forced to amass wealth through illegitimate means...

[For example, making a deal with the evil Sister Ningning.]

Considering that he had acquired such a luxurious house at some unknown cost, An Qing had every reason to suspect that UU had received a great benefit.

Thinking of this, she responded:

“I appreciate Cheche’s kindness, but after thinking about it, I’ve decided not to go back to school yet. Firstly, my school is a bit far from home, and I don’t want to live on campus or trouble Cheche; secondly, my tuition is 4… I think it’s better not to put so much pressure on Cheche…”

"These are not problems."

Su Che shook his head, wanting to argue.

"No, no, what I'm thinking about is focusing on the team first. I want 'Seven Colors' to win, and I want you to be happy."

"..."

"I want you to be satisfied with me, so I can't waste my energy studying."

"..."

Finally, Su Che hesitated, unable to speak.

[So An Qing has already placed the band in this position?]

Is it right or wrong to neglect one's studies for a band?

He was somewhat confused.

She made this choice for my sake, perhaps not entirely her own.

He knew that.

Looking at Miya, you can see that the kitten's studies can be customized.

If you feel pressured, take a break from school; if you don't feel pressured, continue studying.

You can take the college entrance exam as a side project; if your score isn't high enough, you can pursue art.

Use a near-perfect score in your major to boost your chances, so you can achieve both goals without neglecting either.

Moreover, she has a powerful backer who can help solve her first year's tuition problem.

After all, saving money takes time. Even if An Qing wants to go back to school to repeat her studies, she will need to find a way to earn the necessary resources.

An Qing's choice is in line with the current situation. Su Che won't force her to go back to school, but he will still give her new options.

"Okay, I was mainly worried that you'd find it boring to stay at home all the time, especially when I'm out."

He added, "I understand that you want to reduce my stress, but if you ever want to acquire new knowledge or meet new friends, just let me know. I can help you enroll in a class or something, so that you can at least experience the feeling of interacting with people and satisfy your social needs."

Su Che knew that humans are complex social animals, and that prolonged periods without interaction with others can lead to social withdrawal.

Of course, dealing with too many people can drive you crazy.

An Qing is the type who appears quiet on the surface but actually needs to let loose. She has very few friends, mainly her teammates from Qicai and Xiao Mao.

Under such circumstances, keeping her at home, even in a large villa, feels a bit like being in prison.

"Okay! I'll tell you then!"

An Qing accepted his kindness and began to get dressed contentedly.

Seeing that the problem had been solved, Miya got off someone's lap and turned off the "symbiotic mode with the cat master".

"Let's go, Xiaoxiao doesn't have a driver's license yet. I'll drive you."

Su Che got up, tidied himself up, and after washing up, took the kitten out of the room.

By then, a sumptuous breakfast had been laid out on the restaurant table—

A pretty woman greeted Su Che with a smile: "Good morning, Che-kun. I made bacon, vegetable, and egg sandwiches for everyone. Come and eat them while they're hot!"

"...Ah, thank you."

Looking at the sandwiches on the table, there was hot milk specially prepared for the children, hand-drip coffee prepared for myself, nutritious blueberry Greek yogurt prepared for Anqing, and a fruit platter of 6 fruits full of Vitamin C...

Su Che didn't understand why Asai Suzune was standing in front of him instead of the head maid he had chosen...

[Speaking of which, given how long I was taking a bath last night... the head maid probably wasn't even up yet?]

[No, is this correct?]

The maid in the house... seems to have changed...

Su Che forced himself to walk up and said, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble..."

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor. With so many new members in the family, I can help Che-jun if the maid is busy in the future~ Please trust me, don't treat me like an outsider."

Asai Suzune covered her mouth and chuckled, making no mention of the sleeping pills she had put in the head maid's water glass.

Su Che gratefully took the kitten and quickly ate breakfast, praising her cooking skills.

And just like that, the first day's game of chess was perfectly completed.

Inside the castle, where undercurrents were swirling...

The beautiful woman squinted her pretty eyes and stood at the door like a married woman, watching Su Che leave with the child.

Before he left, she even managed to straighten his collar and fetch his bag for him.

An Qing saw everything.

I marked her in my mind.

……

The start of the school year is a turbulent time.

As Xiaoxiao was promoted to her third year of university, she was forced to hand over the secretariat work to her juniors, putting pressure on the newcomers.

Yu tide has now entered her second year of graduate school and is busy with her thesis.

As for Gu Zhi, the nursing school mentioned internships, but she said she didn't need one because she wasn't interested in becoming a nurse.

Instead, she brought Xiao Yuanxiao, who had dropped out of school, to the mansion.

At the crucial moment when Su Che was leaving, they attempted to forcefully move in!

"Che, I brought my sister with me to move. Don't worry, we'll take good care of ourselves."

Su Che: "??? Wasn't Yuan Xiao supposed to come by himself? Why are you here too...?"

Gu Zhi: "How could she possibly carry luggage when she's so small?"

I didn't feel comfortable asking anyone else to take her, so I had to bring her myself.

Since I'm already here, I might as well bring my own things along. Is that alright?

I've brought all my stuff, so I'm too lazy to go home. I'll stay here for a few days. By the way, which room is mine? Is it the master bedroom?

"..."

The thought of his home soon becoming so cramped that there was nowhere to step made Su Che's expression quite interesting.

He had a premonition that UU's big house would inevitably be in chaos, with chickens and dogs running amok and cats meowing.

"You...you can stay with Yuan Xiao for now. In room number 2...let the head maid show you around the house."

"Oh, okay. Is the head maid this gentle older sister who's just as good as me? And she seems to be Japanese?"

"........."

Su Che rubbed his temples.

He thought to himself, "Forget it, I should deal with the immediate issues first."

He chose to let Gu Zhi and the others figure things out on their own, while he would first help Miya with her enrollment procedures.

Since Miya had taken a leave of absence from school and took the college entrance examination directly, Su Che felt that he should check with the academic affairs office regarding her enrollment.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the car arrived at the school gate, a familiar-looking mature woman with short hair came up to them and stared straight at Miya.

"you are?"

Su Che frowned slightly, wanting to ask about the situation, but then the kitten behind him spoke up:

"Mommy Hayasaka!"

"Yes, Miya, your class has been assigned. I've come to let you know—"

It was on the 14th floor of the Master Building, where I studied jazz with the Brazilian master Marci. The department was an external special education department, with professors providing one-on-three instruction. There was no need for morning runs or attendance checks, and no need to take basic education exams; you could simply focus on performing.

Oh, and of course, you can also invite a friend you know to participate in the course as your "accompaniment slot." There are no age restrictions for accompanying slots; all you need is about 10 years of guitar experience and passing a music theory exam. All of this privilege was secured for you by that person, so please make a careful decision.

……

……

Chapter 234 Trapped in a Vortex of Landmines

Faced with Hayasaka's words, Su Che was first confused, and then instantly realized that the "candidate" she was talking about... how could it be so similar to himself?

[10 years of piano experience, knowledge of music theory, recent graduate, no age limit, etc.]

Sure enough, before she could think further, Miya pointed her little finger at herself—
