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

The words moved all the women.

Everyone knows in their hearts that "Seven Colors" has been established for this very night... If they can truly help him, then they will become an indispensable part of his life's story, a memory that will last a lifetime.

Yu tide: "Let's go, let's go on stage."

An Qing: "I unconditionally support Cheche."

Yuan Xiao: "Although I am weak, I will do my best to perform and I will never let you down in such a situation! I am working hard!"

Gu Zhi: "We will take this seriously."

Xiao Xiao: "Hehe... This is suddenly putting a lot of pressure on me. But for the sake of the captain, it seems I have no choice but to give it my all."

In a rare sight, the six members of "Seven Colors" actually put their hands together before going on stage, encouraging each other as a way to boost their morale.

The champions of Group A and Group B will face off first, while the neighboring team "Mercury Sparkle" is already ready under the opposite curtain and watching this side.

The order of performances was determined by drawing lots, with "Seven Colors" going first, followed by the others.

As we all know, in any live performance, the starting team is at a disadvantage and is at a disadvantage.

After all, the last team to perform is the one that leaves the deepest impression on the audience and judges, so the first team is often given a very low score, which is common sense.

Su Che and the others waited for the host to give the opening speech and for the audience to enter the venue one after another.

On the judges' panel, the man in the main seat glanced subtly in his direction, then turned to the Mosse competition organizer beside him and asked:

"Who is the rival of the 'Seven Colors'?"

"Return to the Land Division is a wildly strong team, composed entirely of Japanese players. They swept through Group B, encountering virtually no obstacles in their advancement..."

"Have you made arrangements?"

"It's arranged."

"How are the unorganized teams arranged?"

"Their bassist... was dealt with by our insiders, which is why he can't come today. The current substitute musician, Yui Tsukishima, is an informant we bought to help support them. If necessary, she can make a mistake on the spot and lower the score."

The person in charge kept his head down and didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of making the man frown.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the name Yui Tsukishima, Master Lu nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the official arrangement.

"Very good. We'll see how they perform later. If the difference isn't too big, we'll keep the audience's scores low and proceed as planned. If the difference is significant, we'll send her a message halfway through and tell her to be mindful of the situation. Understand?"

"I understand, I understand, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

The person in charge was meek and respectful.

On either side of him, the other judges didn't dare to breathe, each sitting upright with their eyes fixed straight ahead, and no one interrupted.

It's important to understand that even the person in charge behind Mosse has to speak to Master Lu with utmost respect, and regional managers can only communicate with him as subordinates.

As for the judges, they were completely beneath his notice. All he needed to do was follow the steps to give each score "correctly" tonight and "recite" the comments he had memorized beforehand, and the task would be complete.

"Master, the arrangements for the semi-finals should be fine. As for the finals, the 'Silver Travel Ship' team seems to be universally acknowledged as invincible. Even if we try to lower their score, we can't..."

The person in charge spoke again, his expression clearly showing some worry.

"Don't worry, Bai Chu is the least troublesome one." Master Lu waved his hand, then asked from a different angle, "By the way, has Miya arrived?"

"She's here, she's here. She's already backstage getting ready, and all her teammates are here too."

"OK, that's fine then. The main event tonight is at the end, not during the game."

Lu Shi took out a cigarette from his pocket and subconsciously wanted to light it.

Just as he was about to press the lighter trigger, he considered that this might require him to take off his mask and be "discovered" by his son, so he resisted his immense craving for cigarettes and put the cigarette pack aside.

"Ugh."

She sighed softly, gazing at her rebellious son in the distance, her emotions a little complicated.

After a moment of distraction, the phone on the table started vibrating.

When Mr. Lu saw that it was Ms. Su calling, he immediately answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Were you at the scene?

"Yes."

Did the child see you?

"I saw it."

"Leave as soon as the game is over, don't let him catch you."

Ms. Su made this request, which is quite unusual for her.

"why?"

Master Lu found it somewhat amusing, wondering why he had run away before him since he was already here.

“I’ve seen him perform more than once or twice. When he was with Tianlai, when did I miss a single performance? What are you worried about?”

"No, no, it's a message from Ari. He said that when he spent the night with her, he accidentally talked in his sleep, muttering something like 'If I had the power, I would definitely kill that guy'... Although it's a bit chuunibyou, after Ari relayed it to me, I seriously suspect that the child was talking about you. Do you have any clues about this?"

Lu Shi: "..."

It must be said that if Ms. Su hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten about it.

The child's anger accumulated over the years, slowly building up to Max's level. His laissez-faire upbringing in childhood led to his isolation and anxiety, while intervention during adolescence caused his personality to become increasingly distorted and erratic. Now, he has grown up to have an extremely high level of self-care ability, but he has lost too much of the healthy development that a normal child should have.

It's unrealistic to say I don't feel bad about it.

However, given that it involves a three-way bet, Master Lu believes that this is a path that has no other choice.

The "best daughter-in-law" that Su Ling thinks is, the "perfect gene inheritor" that the old man thinks is, and the "spouse who will make his son happy" in his own eyes are almost worlds apart; their perspectives are vastly different.

Yali and Bai Chu were Su Ling's choices;

Nao Ise was handpicked by the old man;

Miya and Lingyao were carefully chosen by me after undergoing trials.

The problem is that during this period, Su Che also had new encounters, and these connections were like threads that he couldn't untangle.

If we follow the timeline, then the first person to win as a child was Nao Ise.

At the time, considering that Su Che was still young and that Nao was constantly tempted to devour him as a minor, which she could not bear several times, Master Lu had no choice but to ask the old man to stop the first phase of the test, recall Nao, and make new plans.

The old man was dissatisfied, but he cooperated with the operation. However, Su Ling had to play the bad guy.

This led to Su Ling playing the bad cop and interfering with Nao's progress, causing Nao to still harbor resentment towards Su Ling to this day. Like Su Che, Nao believes that the fault lies not with the old man, but with Su Ling.

Forced into a corner and caught in the middle, Su Ling resorted to an extreme solution: to have the flawless Hua Leng directly intervene in the second stage, since no man in the world could resist Hua Leng's charm.

Unfortunately, by the time Ari reached Su Che, Su Che had already mutated to the point of having countless house cats.

"At the time, my thinking was very simple. I felt that raising Miya well and giving him an absolutely clean girlfriend was more important than anything else."

But I overlooked one thing, which is... my son seems to have some genes from us, doesn't he?

Even if he does nothing, plenty of girls his age will still flock to him like moths to a flame—from classmates to online acquaintances, from his part-time boss to teenage girls still in their early teens. He seems to have it all.

Lu Shi was filled with emotion.

Ms. Su scoffed on the phone, saying impatiently, "Isn't that obvious... Are you kidding me? Besides, if you were an ugly, gloomy man back then, why would I have used such a scheme to throw myself at you?"

"..."

"This only proves that the child is the result of your and my relationship. Even though he has a lot of problems, he's now reached the point where a 300-square-meter house can't even fit a cat. In that respect, I think you can't even come close."

That's true.

Teacher Lu picked up the cigarette case and lighter, but in the end he couldn't resist and got up to walk to the smoking area outside the door.

As they walked, he remarked, "But do you really think Ari got the points after moving into his house?"

"How to say?"

“Su Che is in no different from a zombie right now. I don’t think he’s considering who’s pretty or beautiful. His choices might be different from our old-fashioned perspective.”

“Hmm. Ari’s observation and feedback to me is that the child needs to breathe.”

Are you breathing?

"Yes. It's roughly like when you were finally held back by everyone, overwhelmed by pressure, causing your condition to worsen and threatening to collapse at any moment."

"Ah..." Master Lu leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and recalled:

"So how did I solve it back then?"

"You."

Ms. Su paused for a moment, then said quietly, "You promised to help everyone have a child, and then let them focus their energy on raising the children, so they wouldn't have time to catch you. As it turns out, you succeeded."

……

……

Chapter 298 A Life-or-Death Situation Between Father and Son! Fierce Battle! Confrontation! On the Verge of Eruption!

As the only male heir of the new generation of the Lu family, Su Che was unaware that he bore the great responsibility of carrying on the family line.

According to information from within the family, both the eldest sister, Mu Cheng, and the youngest sister, Lin Yi, have confirmed that they will remain unmarried for life, upholding the principle of prioritizing their skills.

They can either focus on performing and pursue a master career, or delve into the craft of instrument making and strive to create a Mosse masterpiece.

Su Che had never met them before. After all, they had been pampered since childhood, living in a princess's castle. Once they met, as wealthy sisters, they might easily give him a few million in pocket money out of pity. In that case, the old man's bet would be completely invalidated, and Master Lu and Madam Su would not be able to accept their son being corrupted in that way.

To be honest, Su Che's current state of depravity is far better than his normal development into a spoiled brat.

If he were to discover his true identity, let alone practice the piano, even moving a finger would become an obstacle to his lazy and decadent lifestyle, turning him into a complete waste.

Therefore, he cannot understand, nor could he possibly understand, the good intentions of his parents. At this moment, he stands on the stage shining brightly, and every ray of light he shines is something he has earned himself, something he has obtained with his own hands under the abnormal "self-growth".

—It's his own thing.

Whether it's an original song or a team built from scratch.

And then there are those kittens whose eyes are only for him, who live for him.

"That's really rare."
