Umamusume

Qingxuan has even begun to look forward to which horse girl the [Golden Ship] will bring over. Will it be [Emperor of the East China Sea] and [Mejiro McQueen]?

Chapter 148 What girl doesn't like to be praised?

After dinner, Meili, who had just dried her tears, was punished to wash the dishes and her eyes were filled with tears again. Qingxuan was giving some basic lessons to Wanlai, who was attending the class for the second time.

Su Zhi was adjusting the pipa in her hand. After all, it was bought by Teacher Qing Xuan. Although she did not accept it as a gift, it was still given to her for safekeeping, so she took great care of it.

After the last close-knit instruction, Wan Lai already had an understanding of how to play the pipa. After filling in the basic details that were not covered last time, Wan Lai was able to formally get started.

In just less than two classes, Wan Lai caught up with Meili, who had been in class for several classes.

This made Meili, who came out of the dishes, want to cry again. After all, she could tell the good from the bad. Wan Lai could play the music with the same level as her, or even slightly better. She immediately felt greatly hit and looked at Teacher Qingxuan with a wronged and resentful look.

——Does the teacher dislike me? Does the teacher like spanking me? If I have time, can I come to ask for a spanking and then give me some special treatment? I also want to be praised by Qingxuan teacher...

Qingxuan didn't think about what Meili was thinking at the moment, but started teaching everyone equally. He took the pipa handed to him by Suzhi, and then played the pipa language completely.

For the three girls, Qingxuan's playing is always so beautiful.

Perhaps because it was the first time that the player was playing in the apartment, people upstairs and downstairs, and even trainer [Tojo Hana] who was about to open the door to get something, stopped in their tracks. The key in his hand was placed outside the keyhole, and he glanced in the direction of Qingxuan's room door, as if he could see Qingxuan through the wall who was absorbed in playing the Pipa Language.

He is majestic, has an extraordinary temperament, and is the center of current hot topics. Now he is playing music. As for whether it is a musical instrument or a mobile phone playing music, you can naturally hear the difference, and it is very obvious.

Tojo Hana entered the room with mixed feelings and took out the lipstick that she forgot to bring after lunch break. After all, in order to maintain the image of an elite woman, she could not bring makeup, but she could not miss the lipstick.

When she went out, she closed the door gently, closed her eyes and listened carefully until Qingxuan finished playing the song, then she left with the clacking sound of her high heels.

Inside, the three horse racing girls all clapped together, and even Meili gradually forgot about the pain in her buttocks due to the music.

Qingxuan handed the pipa to Suzhi and briefly talked about some of the shortcomings when the three played it last time. He asked them to try to correct them when they played, and then they played it one by one.

The quality can be said to be the most attentive one, and last time he had reached the proficient level.

Wan Lai's talent and sense of pitch are extremely high and are rapidly approaching the proficient level.

In the end, Meili was the last one to come in. Her confidence had already been hit, and she was physically hit by Teacher Qingxuan, so naturally her mentality was not so stable.

There were five mistakes at the end of the song. Although the rhythm was followed, mistakes are still mistakes.

Her beautiful and aggrieved eyes dimmed. She had originally been learning the pipa with Su Zhi out of interest, but now she wanted to give up. However, her unyielding spirit made her unwilling to give up.

Qingxuan did not scold her this time. Instead, he praised her for the fact that the rhythm of her playing had reached the passing line. As for mistakes, that was a process that everyone had to go through, and she just had to correct them slowly.

After the class, the three of them thanked Qingxuan respectfully and left.

Not long after Qingxuan closed the door, the account income notification came. Although 10 per class is indeed not a lot, the income of 20 (without charging for quality classes) is not enough to cover the occasional indulgence of the Empress of Qicao for a meal.

After Qingxuan came out of the shower, he checked his phone and saw that Crown had reconfirmed his appointment with trainer Mingzi tomorrow afternoon.

Then, Qi Cao forwarded the electronic version of the contract document on behalf of his mother. If there is no problem, the paper version will be signed at the dinner.

Then Xiaobei and Xiaozuan sent different words of missing each other. After all, they are the must-leave messages and good morning and good night every day.

Only Junyi, who had suffered a penetrating wound early this morning, seemed rather silent at this moment.

Qingxuan did not take the initiative to disturb her, letting her digest it herself. He believed that it would be of great help to her training in the future. After all, even her attributes already had the state of "dawn in the heart". Staying by her side could play a role in training and growth. Then, if he really grew up with her, the effect might be better in the future.

The next morning, she still went to Suzuka's house first, but Qicao did not come this morning. After all, as the temporary secretary yesterday, she was temporarily called to the headquarters by her mother to coordinate the changes in the training mode.

After Qingxuan came alone, when Xiaote, who opened the door, found that Qicao was not next to Qingxuan, the change in expression on his face was quite interesting.

"Good morning, Master."

"Good morning, Xiao Te is also very beautiful today."

"Eh? Really? It's the same as usual..."

However, Xiao Te was very happy. After all, what girl doesn't like to be praised? And it's rare to meet a boy who cares about her. But, this is a master.

"I left you a message before I came here. Is the medicine boiling?"

"Yes, you can give Suzuka a massage first... Well, although it's a bit inappropriate to say this, I'm still asking you to do it."

"It's okay, go ahead and get busy."

Qingxuan was already familiar with the layout here, and walked into the garden in a flash. Suzuka was still basking in the sun on a lounge chair. Her home clothes and black stockings were still dazzling. Her skin, which had been so pale before, was now rosy after a few days of conditioning, and she could even reveal a hint of a smile with her eyes closed.

Qingxuan walked lightly to the garden to inspect the different environments. The surroundings should be the planned renovation from yesterday afternoon. The seeds of blue butterflies and gardenias had been planted, and the renovation of the flower beds had been completed. They just needed to be watered and wait for them to germinate, grow branches and bloom.

This is a planting time that is neither long nor short, but they can wait, and they have hope for the future, just like Qingxuan has been constantly instilling in them the belief that they will recover, and constantly deepening their dependence on Qingxuan, until they can no longer control their emotions, and think of this mysterious man from the country of Hua all the time.

Xiao Te looked at the bubbling medicine and somehow felt complicated. The feeling yesterday was so strong that she even reliveed it several times in her dreams at night.

I even changed into a new pair of underwear when I woke up in the morning.

I don't know why, but I just avoided the most correct answer, which is that I have feelings for my master other than respect and admiration...

I can only blame myself for being too excited when I knew Suzuka could recover. Also, these days Suzuka's home is no longer as gloomy and sad as before. All these turning points originated from Master Qingxuan!

Perhaps, I should repay my master...

Chapter 149: Alone with Silent Suzuka

Since Qi Cao didn't come today, Qingxuan and Suzuka were still alone at the moment. They could start caressing each other with just a few words.

The smooth touch of the black stockings, the slender calves, all the way to the thighs, he slowly untied her black stockings.

Qingxuan deliberately avoided looking at Suzuka's expression, and her face was indeed flushed. An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere was formed. It seemed that in just these few days, she had already adapted to a man helping her take off her black stockings, and it also triggered a sense of redemption from the soul.

Because Suzuka knew that Qingxuan was working hard to help her recover from her foot disease, she tried her best to cooperate. In particular, Qicao and Xiaote had done some psychological preparation for her, allowing her to cooperate with Qingxuan as much as possible, and to relax and not reject it.

So, Suzuka indeed remained silent, allowing Qingxuan to measure her legs as much as he wanted.

Qingxuan has started working on not only the affected foot, but also the other leg.

However, Qingxuan looked very carefully and his expression was serious.

It was hard for Suzuka to feel that there was anything wrong with this, after all, it was for her to observe the effect.

After playing with the legs enough, I started to give Suzuka a normal massage on the affected foot, increasing the intensity.

Suzuka's feelings were also stronger and she was not as easily hurt as before. This was also the result of Qingxuan's massage and medicinal soaking in her these days. She could clearly feel the signs of improvement, which also doubled her confidence.

Suzuka felt that this atmosphere was a bit strange, and her heartbeat gradually quickened. Qingxuan, who was giving her a massage, could naturally feel the changes in her heart rate, which was a good thing.

Suzuka couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she asked, "Mr. Beigong, what do you think of the empress?"

Qing Xuan knew that she could not help asking about this topic, so he answered: "We are very good friends. After we first met, I gradually discovered that although she has a personality, she is also unconventional. So I am willing to interact with the empress, and gradually we have become very good confidants."

"No wonder Mr. Beigong is willing to help me. This is probably all thanks to the Empress."

"That was the case at first, but after meeting you and Xiao Te in the past few days, and after learning the cause of your injury, I decided to help you. Perhaps it was after the first time I met you, Miss Suzuka, that I already felt that you were different. My thought at the time was that I hoped you could cheer up again."

Suzuka was stunned, she could never imagine that Qingxuan made up his mind to help her after seeing her, and it was not entirely because of the energy groove.

"Thanks you."

"Well, thank me after I make you fully recovered. But, I also want to talk to Miss Suzuka alone. What do you think after you recover?"

“Eh? Well… I, I’ve already retired. I can’t become a Umamusume contestant anymore.”

"But you still want to run on the field, right?"

"Well, maybe I can come back and participate in some exhibition matches or something like that. After all, the restriction on competitions is that only contestants can participate."

"Yes, that's true. So, for the development of the Spica team, you and Xiao Te are still advisors, right?"

"Well, not anymore. Now it's completely handed over to Emperor and McQueen as consultants. Xiao Te and I rarely even go back to Tresen Academy now."

"Is Suzuka still a stay-at-school student?"

"Well, I've been thinking about it recently. If it's really not suitable, I won't take up the place to stay in school. After all, my foot injury has lasted for several years. The main reason is that the chairman reserved the place for me to stay in school, so I can get the subsidy from the academy."

"You don't need to give up. Since the chairman has given you such preferential treatment, you should just enjoy it with peace of mind. After all, your performance was very good at the beginning, and your agency team is willing to pay for your medical treatment."

"Yeah, maybe I've caused trouble for everyone. Even Xiao Te has given up the development of retired players in order to take care of me. Even the consulting business has been handed over."

As Suzuka spoke, her heart ached and tears rolled down her cheeks. She had not expected that the first time she was alone with Qingxuan, she would reveal her true feelings to him. After telling Qingxuan, she seemed to feel much better.

"Thank you, I feel much better now, but I am already considered happy. There are other horse girls who have experienced more tragedy than me, but I am lucky to have been treated well by everyone."

Qing Xuan smiled gently and said, "After your injured foot recovers, run in your best condition and express your gratitude to everyone."

When Suzuka closed her eyes, tears rolled down her face. She could only cover her face and nod gently. There were many things she didn't dare to tell Xiaote and the empress, but she said them to Qingxuan. She herself didn't know why.

Qingxuan used some questioning techniques to make her open up and say what she had been holding in her heart for a long time. Some things can indeed help to relieve the pain after telling others.

During this tentative conversation, Qingxuan also completed his task, and then Xiaote came out with a pot of boiling medicine.

Qingxuan also stood up and looked at Suzuka, who had hurriedly wiped away her tears, and she smiled.

Xiao Te did not walk out of the garden, but put the medicine pot on the ground first, and then went to get the bucket, towel, gauze, etc.

"Miss Suzuka, I'm sorry."

Qingxuan picked her up, and this time Suzuka's body was obviously not as stiff. This was good news for Qingxuan. The other party had taken this conversation seriously and should treat their relationship properly in the future.

Being able to be hugged by the opposite sex without stiffening is already a surge in Suzuka's favorability.

Qingxuan took a special look at the favorability prompt, which one was about Suzuka.

【Silent Suzuka】Cumulative +15, currently 50 points.

There has been tremendous progress.

Put Suzuka on the chair, and then let Xiaote do the rest.

"Although it's still a little early, I can make you some side dishes and you can have porridge at noon."

"Ok."

Qingxuan went straight into the kitchen, washed his hands and began to take out the spare ingredients from the refrigerator. After all, Xiaote is now a growing chef. In order to learn more knife skills from his master, Xiaote is persistent in buying more and practicing more.

From this aspect, Qingxuan can see Xiaote's simplicity. After all, she is a child who grew up in the mountains. Therefore, Qingxuan is very happy to teach her knife skills so that Xiaote can have something worth pursuing when accompanying Suzuka.

And every time Xiao Te practiced knife skills, he would think of Qing Xuan. Although his favorability increased slowly, it was an influence that could benefit him in the long run. As the saying goes, success will come naturally.

Because there is no conflict of interest, Qingxuan does not intend to rush the strategies for [Silent Suzuka] and [Special Week]. They deserve a wonderful and beautiful memory.

Chapter 150: Special Week of Obsession

Qingxuan slowed down his work, focusing on making some dishes that took a little time but were complicated. This could be done after Suzuka finished soaking her feet. By then it would be just after eleven o'clock, so he could have lunch earlier.

During this period, Suzuka asked Xiaote to go to the kitchen to help many times. After all, soaking feet did not require her company.

So, when Qingxuan was making complicated dishes, Xiaote had no idea how he did it and could only stare at Qingxuan in amazement as if he was performing magic, turning all the ingredients into ready-made dishes in an instant.

"Master, slow down, please, I can't keep up with it."

"Well, if you really want to learn, just watching probably won't be very effective."

"Eh? How do I learn it?"

Qingxuan put down the kitchen knife, took a step back, took off his apron and pointed at Xiaote.

"Eh? Should I wear an apron?"

"Yeah, you're in front of me, so if you don't wear an apron, what will happen if your clothes get dirty?"

Xiao Te blushed all of a sudden, not because he didn't want to, but because he was not mentally prepared.

“Master, this, this… is this really okay? You… I… this…”

"Don't you want to learn? Don't think too much about it. If you find it inconvenient, then don't force yourself."

Qingxuan was about to put the apron back on as he spoke, but when Xiaote reached out to grab the apron, he grabbed Qingxuan's wrist as well.

"Master, I will definitely work hard. Please give me your guidance!"

Xiao Te put on an apron as she spoke, and then came to the chopping board, which was equivalent to going directly to the area in front of Qing Xuan and waiting for the master to wrap her up.

Qingxuan felt that Xiaote really liked cooking and learned knife skills quickly, so he was a person with good talent. As for cooking, he was still a little lacking in seasoning and controlling the heat.

Qingxuan was not polite either, and held Xiaote with his chest and big hands.

He manipulated her like a puppet, from her smooth and delicate lower arm to the back of her hand, according to his own ideas.

Including the technique of holding the knife, Xiao Te only needs to hand over his body to Qingxuan.

Qingxuan can make her completely immerse herself in the performance beyond her own ability. Seeing the fruits and vegetables become spare ingredients like works of art in her hands, her heart is filled with excitement.

This time, she was not slow to react like last time, but took the initiative to throw herself into Master Qingxuan's arms.
