Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Sushi, what are you doing?"

"It's over..."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned. She now realized clearly that she was in two embarrassing situations.

And it seems that there is no escape, these two situations are set in stone.

One was that he was so rude to his own mother. Not only did he point at her nose and scold her, he even made the actual move of turning against Tiangang to teach his own mother a lesson.

The second thing... is that she can't clean herself up at all.

Just by turning her head and glancing at the expression on Xiao Mu's face, she knew that the child must have completely regarded what she had just said as some kind of deliberate act of showing off in order not to worry others.

No, she felt that it could still be saved.

"Mom...it's like this." Su Shi intertwined her hands and kept playing with her restless fingers. "Can you help me explain to Xiao Mu? I actually have no plans to go abroad after the end of this semester."

"Going abroad?"

Rina, who hadn't figured out the situation and thought her ex-husband might be behind her daughter's condition, was slightly stunned when she heard these two words.

So...what's the deal with this thing about going abroad this semester?

Could it be that my daughter had a fight with her best friend and angrily said that she would leave Tokyo this semester and study abroad?

No, how come this child has become so prone to bragging now, to the point where he can't explain himself clearly and has to ask her, the mother who is taking the blame, to come out and clarify?

But no matter what, Rina had no intention of sending her daughter to a foreign country just because Ichinose returned to China. After all, it would be difficult for her to transfer her job abroad, and finding a job and settling abroad again would not necessarily mean that they, as foreigners, would live a better life in other places.

"Your name is Xiao Mu, right?" Nagasaki Rina smiled as she looked at the cute and well-behaved girl who was following her daughter. "Don't worry, Xiao Mu, Auntie won't take Su Shi away. You two can stay together forever."

"……Um."

Ruoye Mu nodded, but the speculations in his mind were still not so easy to overturn.

But Su Shi didn't know all this at the moment. She just breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Xiao Mu, and then followed her mother with her head down, a little at a loss, like a bad kid who had done something wrong, until she opened the car door and got in.

"So... can you talk to Mom now? About that person named Tsuzuki Chihiro you just mentioned."

"This one……"

.......

"Finally done!"

Pushing the keyboard, mouse and other things in front of her, Chihiro Tsuzuki, who had finished composing the music for "Cutting Line" written for Xiaoxiang, slumped in the chair like a deflated ball.

It seemed like she hadn't been so immersed in creating something for a long time, and she originally thought... she couldn't do these things.

After all, although she had written many songs before, those songs were just for fun. At that time, she had never even thought about writing songs properly. She had extraordinary abilities on the guitar and was naturally arrogant. She thought that things that were not related to the guitar could be left to the hard workers in the band.

But playing in a band...is it really as simple as just playing the guitar in your own hand?

Obviously not. After all, the band is slightly different from original groups like Red Ginger. At least the band needs to go to various clubs to participate in offline performances.

In addition to music creation, performance is also a big part that cannot be ignored, and it is obvious that Chihiro Tsutomu has not done well in these two aspects.

But this time... when Chihiro took it seriously and took on the responsibility of both Xiaoxiang's lyrics and the melody suitable for Su Shi, she indeed discovered that composing work has never been a show just to highlight personal ability.

In order to highlight others, he subtracted some of the parts that belong to his own performance. This is actually the same work that Xiaoxiang did when he composed and arranged the music for Kasuga Ying.

"No wonder Su Shi cares so much about crychic... Xiao Xiang is indeed an outstanding musician."

Chihiro glanced at the time and found that it was only about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She stood up without thinking and jumped onto the bed next to her. She was really too tired now. Such a sinful composing speed had emptied her brain. She just wanted to have a good sleep.

Nothing can stop her from sleeping, not even the sky falling!

Anyway, if the sky falls...she can use Su Shi to support it.

However, Chihiro Tsuzuki had only slept for about 20 minutes. She was in a state of just falling asleep and not yet entering a deep sleep, when she was woken up by the ringing of her cell phone.

The dazed girl tried to get up several times, but she felt like her body was out of control and she couldn't move. She thought that the phone would stop ringing after a few seconds, but until she regained control of her body, the phone on the computer desk was still ringing.

"I really have a miserable life."

The girl had a sad face and reluctantly got up from the bed and walked to the computer desk. After taking a look at the caller ID on her mobile phone, she answered the endless call.

"What's wrong, Subaru-chan?"

If Chihiro remembered correctly, shouldn't An and Subaru be filming right now? Why would they call me, a homebody who never leaves the house?

And the last "deal" was not completed.

"Chihiro! I'll give you a commission, can you help me kill someone?"

"...You called the wrong number, didn't you? I only cheat people here, I don't kill people."

"Ahhh! I'm going crazy. How could that Rencai be so unreasonable? I really want to beat her up!!!"

Anyway, can you come over? I'm so angry. I was ready to confront my grandma as Rencai said, but she stopped me!

"I'm sorry... Nina is my best friend, I can't..."

"As long as you help me vent this anger, I will do anything."

"Eh?"

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Chapter 150 Chihiro: I'll take care of things, don't worry (2/2)

"What a small recording studio. Is this where you usually practice?"

According to the address Subaru sent her, Chihiro Tsuzuki took a taxi in order not to waste time.

As for the travel expenses, she planned to ask An Hesuba, who had boasted without her permission, for reimbursement after today's affairs were over. After all, he could not escape the responsibility of disturbing her sleep.

"Chihiro, you're here..."

"Eh? Why is Chihiro here?" Unlike An and Subaru who already knew that Chihiro would appear, Nina and Momoka on the side were a little surprised.

However, when she recalled that when they just came out of the set, An and Subaru made an angry phone call behind their backs, Nina understood what had happened.

"That's such a cheat, you actually asked Chihiro to come over and speak for you!"

"You have no right to say that?!" An Hesuba, holding the drumstick, felt that the drum in front of him was a substitute for this stinky kid, and he had an urge to smash it to pieces.

But no matter how impulsive it is, it is impossible to really smash it.

"So what happened?"

"......"

"Let me tell you." An Hesuba frowned, and finally she had to explain what happened in the afternoon.

In fact, she had originally agreed to play an unimportant supporting role in her grandmother's crew this week. Since the role itself was not a permanent one, her part was not very large.

I joined the crew on Monday, and apart from the scenes opposite Mori Minami, the rest of my scenes were basically opposite Grandma Ann and Tendou.

Wednesday was the day that An and Subaru finished filming, and it was also the day she had originally planned to confront her grandmother and tell her that she didn't really want to continue being an actor.

However, she mustered up her courage and finally made the final decision between her favorite band and the acting career her grandmother expected. She had already walked up to her grandmother and was about to say what was in her heart, but someone interrupted her.

"That's them! These two unreasonable people!

And that's what you said back then, Niina? You said I was lying and that I had to confess quickly. Chihiro was there too!

"Was I there? I can't quite remember..." Chihiro Tsuzuki rubbed her head. There were too many things going on recently, and she only cared about Su Shi's affairs, so she couldn't quite remember anything about An and Subaru.

"Chihiro! Which side are you from?!"

"Ah...I remember everything, huh."

"That's exactly what I said." Seeing that she couldn't deny it, Rencai, who was holding the microphone and trying to win with her voice, admitted it directly.

"So you're still so sane? I... I've never seen such an infuriating person. Chihiro, help me elbow her to death!"

"......"

"Do you know that it took me so long to muster up the courage? The words were right on the tip of my tongue, I was just a little bit away from saying them!"

"That's... because everyone has their own secrets."

"what?!"

Rencai, who turned her back to pretend to be a philosopher, crossed her arms and said, "It's hard to explain in a short time, so I have to pay attention to this kind of thing.

If you say it out loud, it will make the situation more complicated.”

"Who do you think made things more complicated!!!"

"Um, can I say something?" Taoxiang, who was standing by, didn't want to intervene, but she felt that she couldn't let these two funny guys do whatever they wanted in front of Chihiro, "Actually..."

At this point, Kawahara Momoka suddenly paused, took back what she was about to say, and then said something that she herself did not expect:

"Actually, compared to forming a band with us, acting is the safest path for you, Subaru."

"......"

The safest path? Is it because of her grandmother that the smooth road is so difficult for others to take?

Although Momoka didn't say so, and An Hesuba didn't express this idea out loud, in An Hesuba's opinion...it seemed that many people thought that this was the most promising path.

This reminded her of a classmate in their Metropolitan Art College high school who often tried to get close to her but always made An and Subaru feel a little uncomfortable.

The girl named Yutenji Wakamugi always seemed to like to associate herself with grandma. The envious look she gave him would make An and Subaru feel uncomfortable from time to time.

Everyone... including her "friends" at school, saw her this way, and now even Momoka was saying the same thing.

"Ah...I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it anymore!"

An He Subaru left Renai and sat back in front of the drum set, lowering his head and grumbling, "You told me not to give up the band, so I made up my mind.

But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, you changed your mind again. I really can't stand you, a fool who talks so much about moral principles.

There is also a guy who seems to see through everything and arranges my life on his own.

as well as......."

"Ahem, I haven't said anything yet." Tsuzuki Chihiro coughed twice, as if trying to escape from the pursuit of the world-weary version of An and Subaru.

"Then please say a few words for me!"

As he spoke, An and Subaru angrily banged on the cymbals, "So why can't I decide my own affairs?"

"Subaru-chan..."

"......"

Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at An He Subaru, who had some connection with her grandmother and became her friend by chance, and walked to the girl with a smile and held her hand as she was about to continue knocking.

"Okay, stop scaring them. You're acting so well that they almost believe it."

"I......."

Before Anhe Subaru could frown and refute, Tsuzuki Chihiro continued, "In fact, Anhe Grandma may have known for a long time that you don't like acting."

"what?"

"I forgot whether I told you this before, but let's just pretend I didn't." Tsuzuki Chihiro looked at Subaru who was looking at her with a puzzled look on his face, and said gently, "The reason why I play guitar and form a band is because of my grandma.

When I was little, my grandmother patiently taught me and my sister how to play chords, how to practice left and right hand techniques, and how to understand music scores...

At the time, I thought that my grandmother must have taught Lenai and me so carefully because her two children did not inherit her beloved career.

“Isn’t this just like my grandma…?”

"But in fact, even though I didn't plan to go to school anymore or play guitar in a band with others, grandma never said anything. She just looked at me so tenderly and cared about whether I was living a good life and whether I was happy.

Let me put it this way, grandma is different from my parents. There is actually no complicated feelings between them... They just give endlessly."

The fundamental reason why grandparents are closer is not the generation gap itself, but the fact that many grandmothers have already poured most of their lives into their children.

Regardless of whether these expectations are realized or not, after half of their lives have passed, these expectations are gradually no longer so difficult to let go, so they will unreservedly hope that their grandchildren can truly live a happy life.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

However, in Chihiro's opinion, her grandmother and Subaru's grandmother should be such people, because the gentle eyes looking at their granddaughters cannot lie.

"Subaru-chan, you've already understood, right? It's just that Nina is such a nasty person. If we don't just act and scare this nasty person, it would be too easy for her."

"Ah...yes! My acting was pretty good, wasn't it~"

"Well." As An and Subaru laughed happily, Tsuzuki Chihiro elbowed the girl's arm and whispered, "Please reimburse my car fare later. Also... this service at the bottom of the stairs will cost extra."

"I......."
