Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

Seeing Chihiro Tsuzuki trying to gain favor with her with a fake smile on her face, completely disregarding the lives of Momoka and Nina, Momoka was almost going crazy.

But now that things have come to this, there is no way back. However, the only thing that makes Momoka feel relieved is... at least Subaru really wants to come back.

Although... it seems that the difficulty of her coming back may not be much different from the difficulty of not being able to take care of the band after having a boyfriend.

The group returned to the performing arts school. Since it was a school specializing in training actors, there were naturally countless practice rooms. In addition, given An and Tiantong's identities, it was easy for them to find a classroom to practice in.

"But...what the hell is improvisational drama?"

After Momoka and the others arrived at the classroom and were about to start an impromptu performance of the plot centered around the themes of love and third party interference, among the four girls present, except for Anhe Subaru and Tsuzuki Chihiro, the others were all confused.

But strictly speaking, Chihiro was also confused.

But she didn't know if she suddenly became interested. Ever since she learned about the relationship between An, Tiantong and her grandmother, she began to act out the role involuntarily, without even any psychological burden.

As for improvisation?

Can improvisation have her life improvisation?

So in the classroom, even though there were two burdens, and Subaru, who had some acting skills but was dragged down by Momoka and Nina and was not in good shape, kept making mistakes, but Chihiro Tsuzuki was very devoted to her performance.

Even when she was looking at An He Subaru's faces and confessing her feelings, she subconsciously replaced their images with those of a divorced widow, and based on this, she gave a tearful performance.

"..."

"Chihiro..." An Hetian's eyes were full of admiration and love. She now felt that Chihiro Tsuzuki was really to her taste. "Would you like to learn acting with grandma?"

"……Eh?"

Not only was Chihiro confused, but Momoka and Nina beside her were staring at each other with a look of despair on their faces.

Big sister, I asked you to pull Subaru back, but you didn't and you jumped into the pit yourself. What's going on?

Chapter 8/9 Mori Minami: I think I became the big boss? (2/2)

An and Subaru could hardly hold it back any longer.

Although she was not very familiar with Chihiro Tsuzuki, considering that she had some connection with her grandmother, she was not as resistant as before.

However, seeing that the other party had come over and done with it for a long time, and in turn fell into her grandmother's trap, she not only did not hate the other party anymore, but instead felt a little sympathy for the pitiful-looking Chihiro.

Alas, some people look pitiful and their experiences are also pitiful.

"This one……"

"Xiao Qian doesn't like acting?"

"Uh." Chihiro Tsuzuki thought about it and realized that she was not that annoying.

And now it seems that her dream of becoming a band is almost over. Although she feels a little unwilling, if she just follows this opportunity...

After all, she has been recognized by professional actors. In addition, the pressure of life and survival has forced her to learn many skills that her peers do not have, so she will have a smooth life in the acting industry.

But, she really still prefers guitar, right?

Chihiro Tsuzuki thought of her grandmother, Lenna, and everyone she met in the past few days. Although her current identity in the band is fake, she will definitely not stay there after everything is over.

But it is obvious that before reaching an agreement with Su Shi, she is unlikely to choose any other path. What's more, after choosing this path, her grandmother and sister may be disappointed in her, right?

"Sorry, Grandma Anhe." Tsuzuki Chihiro felt that it was a bit rude to refuse, so she directly brought up her own grandmother, "My grandma hopes that I can develop in the field of music. I personally also like to play guitar... and bass.

So it would be difficult for me to balance the path of being an actor."

"..."

There was no expression of dissatisfaction on An and Tiantong's faces. Instead, their eyes were filled with even more fondness when they looked at Chihiro.

An and Subaru, who knew their grandmother's character well, closed their eyes and prayed silently for poor Chihiro.

"Then let me ask you, what do you think about the job of an actor?"

coming.

An and Subaru knew that this was the most crucial issue.

"Actor?" Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't deliberately hide or distort anything, but spoke frankly to the powerful Anhe Tendou, "I think it's a great profession. I usually watch the TV series you star in, Grandma, and I really like the roles you play."

Although... I was dragged along to watch it by Su Shi.

"Yeah."

Looking at the smile on her grandmother's face, An Hesuba's heart skipped a beat. She knew that her grandmother would probably not let Chihiro go easily.

An and Subaru closed their eyes again, but this time they did not pray for Chihiro, but began to mourn for her.

However, in An Hesuba's heart, she actually admired her grandmother very much. She knew everything about the past, and she knew very well that it was very important for her grandmother to have someone recognize her profession.

My grandmother debuted as a high school student at the age of 18. Although she became famous at a young age, her relationship with her peers and family members gradually became distant.

If An and Subaru guessed correctly, Chihiro's grandmother should be the one who has been at odds with her grandmother over the years, and she is also the only acquaintance who recognizes her grandmother's efforts in the entertainment industry.

Even her own mother, An Hetian's daughter, couldn't do this. Otherwise, An He Subaru wouldn't have been cultivated by her grandmother just because she said to her grandmother, "I want to act with you."

Should she say she was lucky? After all, Chihiro Tsuzuki was chosen by her grandmother by accident.

This way, my pressure seems to be much less, and maybe I will have the chance to play in a band again...

"So Xiao Qian, you don't actually hate acting, you just don't know how to explain it to your grandma?"

"I……"

Everyone looked at Chihiro Tsuzuki, even Nina, who had just been planning to use the impromptu play to attack Subaru, now looked at Chihiro with a complicated expression.

She suddenly felt that her intuition about Sister Chihiro was not fake, and the unwilling expression on Sister Chihiro's face when she took out the guitar that day was definitely not an act.

After all, even if Chihiro-sister was the liar that Momoka-sister said she was, there was no reason for her to deliberately make that expression when she wasn't in the room.

However, what Chihiro said in front of her made Renai a little unbelievable.

"I... probably can't meet grandma's expectations. I've formed a few bands, but they all failed. The one that lasted the longest didn't leave much room for a fresh start."

"Sister Qianxun..."

"I understand." An and Tiantong seemed to be thinking about something. After looking at Qianxun deeply, they smiled and said, "You two should practice on your own first. I'll be out for a while. Excuse me."

The departure of An and Tiantong seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. Jing Qinren couldn't help but question Chihiro in front of her:

"Sister Chihiro, you obviously love guitar! Why do you say that?

And Subaru, do you really want to let this go? What are we going to do about the band?!

"..."

"Guitars and such aren't important anymore, right?" Tsuzuki Chihiro said after a moment's silence, then gave a formulaic smile. "You might not understand the helplessness I felt when I was so obsessed with the dream of forming a band that I dropped out of school and found a group of bandmates to form one, only to find that none of those bands ended well because of my personal reasons."

"But……"

"I can understand."

"Sister Taoxiang?" Jing Qinrencai felt like she was going crazy. "No, Taoxiang, whose side are you on?"

"Uh...pretend I didn't say anything?"

"But haven't you missed the point? What happens to me in the future has nothing to do with our original goal, right?" Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't believe Anhe and Tendou could convince their grandmother, so she didn't take what happened too seriously. "Your band has just started. Anhe, you don't want to give up just like that, do you?"

"Eh? Why are you talking about me all of a sudden?"

An He Subaru was planning to take advantage of the opportunity when everyone was paying attention to Chihiro to fish in troubled waters, but she didn't expect that after going around in circles, she would be pushed into the spotlight again.

But just like what Chihiro Tsuzuki said, she actually felt that the current situation was very wrong.

But what Chihiro had just said really put her in a difficult position on both sides, and for a moment she was a little unsure about what she should do in the future.

Playing in a band? What if it fails?

But if she acts according to her grandmother's arrangements, things will go much more smoothly. But is that really what she wants?

Looking at Chihiro Tsuzuki, the granddaughter of his grandmother's old friend, An and Subaru had a lot of things in their minds that they wanted to talk to each other alone.

"Well, you guys should go back first. I have to attend a dinner party tonight. This dinner party is quite important."

"Subaru, stop changing the subject!"

"I'm not trying to change the subject!" An He Subaru glanced at Chihiro, who had been dragged into the dinner by chance, and said helplessly, "You should know Mori Minami-senpai, right?"

"I know...but what does this have to do with your family?"

"My grandma arranged a TV drama for me. Although Sammi is my grandma's junior, he is considered my senior in this drama.

Everyone values this cooperation very much, and it is definitely impossible for me to withdraw now.

So after dinner tonight, it might be hard for me to find time for band practice."

"what?!"

Chapter 90: The Confrontation Between Two Old Men (Part 2)

"Lena, did you see Chihiro today?"

"No."

"Hmm?" Tsuzuki Shifune frowned, a little confused. "Didn't you go to the band today?"

"The band broke up."

"..."

Seeing his granddaughter's expression, which looked as if he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, Tsuzuki Shifune, who was sitting in the living room, became a little confused.

Logically speaking, Chihiro is now joining the band under the identity of Su Shi's child. It is obvious that the little girl is embarrassed to recognize her sister, so she deliberately uses this method to get close to Lenai.

After taking off Chihiro's "hood" the night before yesterday, there should be no reason for the child to continue hiding it from her most beloved sister. Why look at Lenai's expression today, as if she still doesn't know that Su Shi is Chihiro?

What the hell is that damn girl doing again?

Tsuzuki Shifune couldn't help but pull Chihiro in front of her and spank her hard like she did when they were children, but she also felt that she didn't need to be so anxious. She knew Chihiro's character well, and this child would definitely do what she promised.

Maybe I didn’t have time to meet Xiao Lenai because of something else today?

"Lena, are you going out?"

Seeing that Lenai put down her schoolbag and returned to the room, and then opened the door and prepared to go out, Tsuzuki Shifune asked curiously.

"Well, the cat is waiting for me."

"..." Tsuzuki Shifune smiled helplessly, but he was used to this habit of his granddaughter.

Maybe it’s because the cat’s behavior pattern is very similar to Lenai’s. During the years when Chihiro was away, Lenai would often go out to play with stray cats.

"Be careful on the road."

"it is good."

After seeing off Lenai, Tsuzuki Shifune returned to the living room and sat down. After thinking about it, she decided to call and ask Chihiro what she was doing recently.

Let’s not talk about Lenai’s problems for now, just talking about herself, no matter what, she hopes that this granddaughter who has suffered a lot outside can return home as soon as possible.

On the other hand, since he had agreed to the agreement with old man Toyokawa, he had to find a chance for Chihiro to come into contact with Xiangzi.

After all, Chihiro has been away from the Japanese environment for some time. Although she doesn't know the specific situation of her life abroad, now that she has returned to China, it would be very important if she could have a peer with whom she could interact more. Even if we don't consider the old man Toyokawa's little thoughts, it would be very important to let his granddaughter put her mind back into the position of a high school student.

But before Tsuzuki Shifune could call Chihiro, her cell phone rang first.

"Isn't this An and Tiantong?"

Tsuzuki Shifune frowned. She must have stopped paying attention to this "old friend" who always provoked her after Chihiro disappeared.

After all, although she had two lovely granddaughters, it was impossible for an old lady like her not to feel sad when one of them suddenly disappeared.

As a result, An He always came to her and told her that her granddaughter's acting skills had improved. She also always found fault with her granddaughter in some small details that most people would not consider, such as her sitting posture. It was obvious that she was openly criticizing her but secretly praising her.

He is a typical Kyoto person. What he says is always different from what he thinks.

However, she called him at this time, which made Tsuzuki Shifune a little puzzled. After all, since he deliberately ignored them two years ago, An and Tiantong had not contacted him again.

It’s quite a pity to say the least.

Although I have been in this kind of hostile relationship with An and Tiantong for decades, think about it the other way around. Being able to maintain contact with someone you don't get along with for decades, even if the two of you were indeed competitors when you were in high school, it seems that you can be considered "friends" now, right?

"Tiantong, what do you want from me?"

"I haven't been in touch for two years. I want to see how you've been doing lately."

Hehe, isn't she just telling me how wonderful her granddaughters An and Subaru are? No one would believe that.
