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

Lin Xiao: "Fight? We'd be no match for that."

"Play the drums."

"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem. I'm quite capable."

What is it?

"...I think you need to gather more material."

Lin Xiao raised her little fist and punched his hip.

Su Che remained expressionless, as if in deep meditation, and continued watching the bassist.

"As for bass, that girl named Ayana seems to be playing a pretty ordinary guitar."

He found Huadian.

Compared to Gu Zhi's amazing instrument, Cai Nai's instrument seems to be a second-hand piano worth less than 10,000 yuan. Although her technique is better than Gu Zhi's, the difference is not significant.

"Gu Zhi's rate of progress is still amazing. In addition, the parts she plays are not very difficult. So if given enough time, she should not be weaker than the opposing team."

Su Che came to this conclusion, glancing out of the corner of his eye at her, who was intently practicing the piano in the room.

They seemed very satisfied with everyone's hard work and dedication.

"Finally, it's Yuan Xiao."

[The opposing team is missing a guitarist, so I'll be the lead singer. Yuan Xiao can play support, which is basically a 2v1 situation. We have an advantage in terms of team composition, so as long as we don't cause any trouble, we'll be fine.]

Thinking this to himself, Su Che turned to look at the little bird sitting with the kitten, practicing the piano.

"Yuan Xiao, will you cause trouble?"

"!"

Upon hearing this, the child's eyes lit up, and he grinned, saying, "If you don't give me candy, I'll just cause trouble!"

"..."

Su Che glanced at her, intending to warn her not to be too greedy.

To his surprise, the child completely ignored his warnings, and her hesitant expression revealed that she wanted to bring up Ari.

In this regard, Su Che knew he was in the wrong and couldn't explain himself, so he waved his hand and directly called everyone to the basement.

"Once Gu Zhi finishes class, let's start a new round of rehearsals."

He used the classic tactic of changing the subject, and said seriously, "Oh right, Bai Qiao, I'll trouble you and Jiang Yuezhu to prepare dinner together."

"Yes, young master."

Jiang Yuezhu had only been in the household for a short time, but she was already considered to have the position of the second-in-command maid. This was because she was good at management and cooking, while Bai Qiao was only good at serving the emperor. The two were very different in terms of skill points, so cooking was something that the ordinary maids had to do.

She and Bai Qiao respectfully lifted their skirts and bowed.

At this moment, Su Che felt as if he had truly become the male master of the castle.

But he understood that one cannot simply wallow in the temptations of power and sex, becoming corrupt day by day.

If we don't seize every moment to do the right thing...

If we cannot stay true to ourselves and keep moving forward despite these temptations...

Then you will become a slave to your desires, turning into the very thing you hated most in your childhood, the thing you fantasized about countless times in your dreams—

"In the arms of the maids, he turned into a puddle of mud, his bones and heart were corroded by the tender dreams, he fell into ecstasy and lost himself."

"I want to try at least once, to try to challenge the impossible. If I really fail, it's not too late to give up then."

At this moment, the corrupted Su Che tried his best not to show any emotion as he withdrew his gaze from the overly charming head maid, and thought to himself.

……

……

What does Chapter 246 mean?

Rehearsals began with everyone's enthusiastic cooperation.

Su Che hadn't touched the zither for seven days, but when he picked it up now, it was as if he were divinely inspired, and his playing was smooth and completely unimpeded.

"As expected? Even if I don't practice, my piano skills will activate a safety mode through muscle memory, and it can last for a long time."

Su Che regarded his finger memory as his "foundation," but once this foundation was exhausted, he would have to start cultivating from scratch, so he couldn't be too reckless.

He glanced at the other women out of the corner of his eye, trying to see if any of them had a bigger problem than him, so that he could "take care of" them in advance.

Like a CT scan, the first thing that catches the eye is An Qing.

An Qing had just woken up, her eyes still sleepy, and the top button of her pajamas was undone...

Since it was at home, everyone was completely at ease. Like me, except for Yu tide, we basically just wore whatever we could find and went into the basement to rehearse. It was like "rehearsing in our pajamas".

She finished her vocal part with a slightly languid tone, and overall it was flawless. Su Che glanced at it and...

I think my cat is so cute and pink, even her pajamas are pink with bunny ears. All I want to do is pet her ears.

He turned his gaze to Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao is different today; she seems to have received Miya's "true teachings".

Her face was serious as she played the piano, and she paid close attention to her technique because Miya had previously said that her "posture was completely wrong"...

It means it needs to be reworked.

Therefore, she put a lot of effort into each note, which Su Che considered a bit too strict.

“Yuan Xiao’s role as the rhythm guitarist in the team is basically to provide the foundation for the performance, and with Yu Xi supporting her, there’s no need to train her with the demanding requirements of a lead guitarist… But since she’s willing to accept Xiao Mao’s guidance, I’ll just observe for now.”

Su Che has always been very tolerant of children, and Yuan Xiao herself should be able to feel this.

She wants to improve, stop holding the team back, and even add a touch of brilliance to "Seven Colors," becoming a respected musician rather than just a mascot.

[Yes. He's a good child who knows how to improve.]

Su Che continued to look at Yu tide.

Yu tide sat at the keyboard, her fingers flying across the keyboard with composure and grace.

It was as if such a piece of music was completely effortless for her, and she didn't need to worry about it at all.

[It's really a waste of her talent for her to be in our team. But looking at her serious expression... she obviously wants to ship UU... sigh.]

Su Che sighed softly, wondering which side he would subconsciously support if a real fight broke out.

Supporting UU is tantamount to being disloyal to the team and forgetting one's roots.

Supporting Yu tide is tantamount to being ungrateful and forgetting the kindness of her sugar daddy, Maomao...

Neither option seemed quite viable, so Su Che decided to put it off for now.

He turned to look at Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi's zither skills have clearly improved significantly today, it seems she has made great progress in learning the zither.

Her face still held that "I absolutely hate playing the piano" expression, as if playing the piano was a task, a troublesome task that she had to complete for someone else.

"..."

Su Che had known all along that she didn't like bass, and in fact, she probably preferred guitar to bass.

But the car had already arrived at this point, and it couldn't be stopped.

We had no choice but to let her keep going.

The CDs arrived; time for tea after the match…

He looked away.

One last look at Xiaoxiao.

Okay. Xiaoxiao didn't wear it again today.

Too.

Su Che's helpless expression drew the attention of two people in the audience behind him.

The basement was quite lively today. In addition to the six members of the Seven Colors team, Miya and Jiang Nai also entered as a support team.

Compared to the cats who have lived here for a long time, Jiang Nai, who is visiting for the first time, is full of envy and also wants to live in such a big house.

However, Su Che had said that her identity was that of a "test subject," and she couldn't live under the same roof as everyone else. This "privilege" washed away Jiang Nai's desires, leaving her blinded by the enormous promise of a reward.

It wasn't until I came to class today that I belatedly realized—"Wait a minute, they've all moved in, how come I'm the only outsider?!"

This really caused an uproar.

Jiang Nai suppressed her grievances and finished teaching Gu Zhi. Then she sat there patiently waiting for the rehearsal to end, wanting to say a few words to Su Che. Her teary eyes made it seem like she might burst into tears in front of everyone at any moment...

Su Che noticed her anxious expression out of the corner of his eye, and knew that her CD had probably arrived, and if she didn't deal with it urgently, things might get out of hand...

So, during a break, he called Jiang Yuezhu over, asked the maid to prepare a guest room, and invited Jiang Nai to stay overnight.

Finally, Jiang Nai was happy.

"Hehe, I knew it, Xiao Che wouldn't forget me."

She watched his retreating figure with delight, and as the maid came to speak, the fox blurted out, "Alright, alright, thank you Xiao Che for taking me in for six days! Then I won't be polite!"

Maid: "? Wasn't it supposed to be one night?"

Su Che: "..."

And just like that, six days passed in the blink of an eye.

……

On the eve of the competition.

Having endured hellish training, the "Seven Colors" team carried large bags and bundles, loading the equipment into the car.

Because it was a nationally renowned competition hosted by Mosse, even the preliminary rounds were held in a fairly formal setting.

The organizers prepared hotels for all teams and arranged the 128 teams in four districts of Tianhai. The top 32 teams were selected through a simultaneous event at four sub-venues.
