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

Ask what to buy.

They actually mentioned AtelierZ.

Milk White, M245.

"This year, it should have been upgraded to 265, and the price has risen to 30,000."

It's clear that those who directly choose the Greater AZ region did so without prior planning.

In the music industry, a bassist without a big AZ is like a guitarist without a Fender, a big G, a PRS, a Guirenniao, or an ESP.

Therefore, Gu Zhi's words hit the nail on the head.

She knew that her ideal bassist was someone who swayed gently on stage, carrying a pure white AtelierZ, and whose movements were perfectly synchronized with the rhythm.

"Last time she only mentioned bass briefly, without mentioning AZ. It seems she... did her homework."

Su Che never disliked people who were meticulous to the point of being distorted when it came to a matter, regardless of gender.

But to be honest, Gu Zhi today scared me a little.

It even created a wall around the heart.

"That zither..."

Looking left and right,

It all looks like it was deliberately destroyed.

When going out,

Bald Teacher Yang's words also confirmed his point of view:

"Holy crap, how did that happen? That's Taylor! Xiao Su, did this violin get into an accident while out and about?"

The outspoken bald man always says what he means.

and so.

This matter is questionable.

"."

Su Che dislikes people who destroy divine artifacts.

I don't like people who don't take care of their equipment.

I don't like unruly kids.

I dislike scammers even more.

but if,

Assuming that Gu Zhi really destroyed the zither herself, then her words will play a crucial role in this situation.

[If I hadn't told her I liked bass, or that I liked girls who played bass, would she have been so upset that she did something so extreme?]

She must have been provoked to give up the guitar, to abandon her most cherished instrument.

Therefore, Taylor's death is related to me.

"..."

Su Che was filled with frustration.

They believe they cannot escape accountability.

It even mitigated Gu Zhi's inappropriate behavior, prompting her to reflect on whether she had used inappropriate words.

"Thinking back carefully, Gu Zhi has always been the quiet and reserved type who learns the piano in a calm and reserved manner."

"I always take my assignments seriously and have never been careless about what I say."

"But today, something feels off."

"They were more concerned about my motives, sat closer to me, always put their arms around me, and always kept a distance where we could smell each other's breath."

This kind of reversed boundary sense really left Su Che at a loss.

But then again,

If it were someone else,

It may have already been pushed away.

They won't give you the slightest chance.

"Gu Zhi..."

"Ugh."

Su Che couldn't quite explain his feelings for Gu Zhi.

At first, I treated her as my "only student on my days off," since part-time work was easy and enjoyable, and she was cooperative and obedient, so her learning progress was very fast.

Later, her gaze changed, and she put more and more pressure on me in class each time, because she would sit closer and closer, staring at me from time to time, as if she was planning something, which made me very concerned.

So Su Che came up with an excuse, saying that "she needs to find a job soon after graduating from university," and set the last class for next month. By then, that would be considered the official end of her studies.

That was a good idea, but who knew that Gu Zhi would change the track.

"Speaking of which... the first time I received the order was suspicious..."

Su Che kicked the stone steps next to the phone booth.

Let's take our memories back to a year ago.

At that time, I had just moved to my new home not long ago.

Because the number of gaming companion jobs is pitifully small, it's simply not enough to cover living expenses and rent.

With neither royalties nor money for the body available, finding new part-time work became a necessity, forcing him to immediately take on apprentices.

There was only one music store near my home, Grammy, and my teacher, Mr. Yang, was arrogant and dismissive of me when I took the initiative to inquire.

It wasn't until I rented a practice room a few times to practice the piano that I realized how true it was.

The bald man, who had overheard a solo performance of a song with a BPM of 210+, suddenly realized what was going on and immediately knocked on the door to extend an olive branch.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Su Che never lingers with people who have rejected him.

This is why, even with part-time teaching fees as high as 180 and profit sharing of 108, they still refuse to work at the music school.

Gu Zhi added me through someone's introduction.

[We added each other directly via Fetion.]

I asked her who introduced her, and she said it was Aunt Gu's arrangement.

[And Aunt Gu couldn't have suddenly found out my Feixin number out of nowhere. So there must be a middleman involved.]

Who exactly is it?

Su Che has no way of knowing for the time being.

"We'll only know when we see Aunt Gu and ask her."

So, the tuition fee was 120 per lesson, and the total cost for one term was 2400. This process began week by week.

I watched Gu Zhi grow and develop.

From being unable to press the strings firmly, the fingerstyle playing became smooth and flowing.

And fingerstyle bass transition...

It is indeed a line from a master musician.

Perfect upgrade route.

That's fine too.

Su Che narrowed his eyes and picked up the speaker and the instrument case.

"A career change is fine. I can mentor her for a while longer."

"However, once she reaches a certain point, she will have to rely entirely on herself to move forward."

"I am not a bassist, so self-study will be an inevitable path for Gu Zhi in the later stages."

Su Che strolled towards home.

I'm thinking about who around me can help and carry on this relay.

After much thought, the only option left was the online friend I had previously rejected.

She's a bassist, but we live in different cities.

Playing in a band in a different city is a bit ridiculous.

It's not that I don't want to play with the other person,

The main issue is this kind of teammate relationship, which is comparable to a long-distance relationship.

Even if the other person says, "I'm willing to take the train to see you for rehearsals every two weeks!"...

Still...

I felt bad about it.

"It's too much of a hassle."

Su Che shook his head.

Everything was attributed to an "IP error".

Go home, child.

Let's go home first.

Su Che sighed again, as if he were dead.

I'm going to see a live performance tomorrow, and my senior will be reviewing my work.

Although I practiced a few moves today,

However, because Gu Zhi is around, I have to spend half of my energy with her and can't fully immerse myself in practicing the piano.
