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

Once you have a goal, you'll stop at nothing to move in that direction.

Ignoring the risks that may be encountered along the way

Ignoring the fact that Yu tide's usually icy face was now flushed red to the roots of her ears.

Why is he actually doing this...?

Was his drooling over me not just an act...?

[You wouldn't be so eager to collect interest before the match even starts, would you?]

Should I stop him...?

Inside the luxury suite, Yu tide was somewhat flustered.

Although she gave herself to him as a gift,

However, the process of winning the trophy is fraught with difficulties and obstacles, with at least a 90% chance of failure.

It was precisely because of this consideration that agreeing to his request became feasible.

And even if he really did achieve that...

Then he will become an irreplaceable "dream fulfiller" in his own heart.

She could straddle his arm, walk up to Lian Ya, and boss her around, loudly saying things like, "You're nothing special." She could even provoke her with questions like, "Playing music alone must be lonely, right?", "Is life without teammates tough?", and "You like to sleep all day, does anyone sleep with you?"

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly happy.

What good would it do to give him everything when that time came?

Lian Ya will become my defeated opponent, or rather, my equal. I no longer need to live in her shadow; the artifacts she possesses, I can possess too. I not only have the harp, but I also have "teammates."

"Haha."

and so--

He deserves it.

...

Yu tide thought she was very calm.

She didn't really care about lust.

There was absolutely no thought of reneging on the agreement or refusing to give it to them.

“From the very beginning, it was a huge gamble. He gave me what I wanted, and I gave him what he needed.”

Therefore, the complete transaction version is—

When Su Che successfully helped himself bring home the trophy while participating in the team,

I will unconditionally dedicate myself to him.

That is, the request he mentioned, "to sleep together."

However, when Su Che failed despite participating in the team, meaning he couldn't retrieve the trophy—

So no matter where the team goes along the way, no matter how much effort or energy he puts in, he can ignore it all, which is equivalent to his investment failing and him getting nothing in return.

Therefore, contracts, to some extent, greatly benefit oneself.

After all, the current situation is that they haven't even managed to gather all their teammates.

"There are less than five months left."

"The preliminary rounds are in September, which means the first round of PK will start then, followed by a 3-month break to participate in the recording of the advanced PK."

"So, we need to get all the teammates together by at least this month or next month. If we can't get them all together, it won't be enough time. Any team, no matter how good the players are, needs a certain number of times to practice together."

"If you go on stage without practicing together, and you face a team with perfect teamwork, you're bound to lose."

Yu tide was perfectly aware of this.

Regarding the schedule, "If I am lucky enough to advance from the September preliminary rounds, I will participate in the live recording of the round of 16 to 8 in December."

"If a team can win again among the 16 teams, they can participate in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals every week for a total of one month."

"In other words, if all five matches are completed, all the PK matches will be finished in January, and the winner will be decided before February."

Yu tide had already figured out the competition format.

"The official statement is that a team can have a maximum of 7 members, with two lead singers or one harmony singer; any more than that would be considered cheating."

问过苏澈，苏澈的愿景配置是：1主唱、1主音、1副琴、1Bass、1Key、1鼓手。

That makes 6 people, and we can also arrange a substitute.

Of course, Yu tide herself can only send two people at the moment.

“Team PK is different from other competitions. If we really want to start, we need to set up a fixed rehearsal room and a fixed rehearsal time. If it is for a competition, I think we should have a major rehearsal at least once every two weeks.”

She shared her thoughts with Su Che.

"As for the venue, I have plenty of space to provide. If you need, I can book a large rehearsal space once everyone is there, and use it as a practice base."

When it comes to the competition, Yu tide is not stingy with money at all. She wouldn't even hesitate to give Su Che a key to her room right now.

"As for your thirst..."

Yu tide paused for a moment,

"Once everyone's here, I might let you get some interest first. I hope you know I'm not the kind of woman who likes to make empty promises."

Su Che had no idea what kind of expression she had when she typed that sentence.

In short, the response must be done perfectly, without any deviation.

"Alright, alright, senior, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let's meet on Monday when school starts and talk in detail."

"Um…"

The two set a meeting date and decided to invite Lin Xiao next time.

-

……

Putting down his phone, Su Che let out a sigh of relief.

"Only in this way can I make my senior sister trust me completely and give it her all."

He was well aware that Yu tide, though she had the intention to build a powerful team, had only focused on the concept of a "team".

Unlike myself, I would consider the most crucial factor for victory – “centripetal force”.

"Any team, if it does not have an inseparable centripetal force to unite it, will eventually be a disorganized mess on stage, no matter how strong the individual members are."

"A team like that won't go far."

Su Che had already anticipated that if he didn't get deeply involved, Yu tide would follow her plan and find a group of "big shots"...

These people might be musicians from other schools, hardcore recruits online, people from her network, or even top talents she hired at great expense...

However, everyone's goals are not necessarily the same.

Even worse, some might join simply because of her looks or reputation, and it's hard to say whether they can actually give it their all.

When that time came, the teams, each with their own ulterior motives, took the stage, only to be soundly humiliated once again by the judges of "Mosse."

Then the senior student never recovered from that setback.

The eyes lost their luster.

That won't do.

Su Che shook his head.

It's not just about achieving my own goals, but also about helping her out and teaching her a lesson—"Use is mutual."

"You helped me defeat that person, and I'll help you bring the trophy back. We owe each other nothing."

"As for the reward..."

Su Che stopped in front of the residential complex, his mind filled with the image of his senior's flawless, work-of-art figure—

With a soft sigh,

murmured:

"As the team takes shape and daily exchanges deepen, the understanding between the two sides will definitely increase day by day."

"So, she will gradually discover what kind of person I really am."

"She will lose all her filters on me and discover that I have problems."

“I’m not normal or stable. I come from a bad family and have a withdrawn personality. I’m definitely not someone you can entrust your life to.”

"Furthermore, I will tell her that I have cats at home, cats outside, and poor cats all over the neighborhood who like to stick to me."

"I won't abandon my cat for no reason. No matter what she says or does."

“Under normal circumstances, if she encountered a situation like mine, she would definitely be very disappointed in me, and then she would no longer speak as forcefully as before.”

"And since she has already achieved her goal, she has the trophy and fulfilled her long-cherished wish. So I have become a useless person. She no longer needs to give me the precious thing that others have coveted for many years, even though I agree not to pay for the prize."

"therefore……"

"We should ask her again seriously then."

Su Che made his final decision in his heart:

"She still wants it, so I'll give it to her."

……

……

This is what it means to keep one's word and to always fulfill one's promises.

(Little hand pointing upwards)

Yu tide's status as a wealthy young lady was instilled in her by her father, Yu Youcheng, from a young age.

"What you say must be done. Integrity comes first. Our family is not short of money."

After being left to his own devices by his parents, Su Che solidified a principle for dealing with things—
