Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Are you okay?" Wakaba Junyi frowned and said in a dignified tone, "Your teacher told me that you haven't been paying attention in class lately and have been making mistakes!"

"..."

When Ruo Ye Mu heard this, her whole body trembled, and a trace of panic and fear flashed in her pupils, but she said nothing, not even an explanation.

Wakaba Junyi seemed to have expected his daughter to be like this, so he didn't say anything else, but remained silent for a long time.

He thought that he had given his daughter enough face, but he did not expect that it was this silence that was the most hurtful.

And after this silence ended, he said without a trace of hesitation:

"Don't play guitar for now. Focus on preparing for the competition. Don't let your mother and I down."

"don't want……"

Wakaba Mu's voice was very soft, and no one would have heard it if it was in a slightly noisier place, but this was in a quiet study, so Wakaba Jun'ichi still heard it.

"It's not that I don't allow you to play. That kind of thing is just for killing time. Do you really count on that?"

"I……"

"Anyway, I'm confiscating your guitar. You should focus on ballet practice lately. If you're tired, just play the piano. It's music anyway, there's no difference."

"..."

Hearing this, Ruo Yemu's body trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but in the end she only said:

"I see."

She still escaped, or rather...she still retreated.

But this time she was more unwilling than ever, and she couldn't help but shed tears. But when Ruoye Mu stood up and prepared to leave, her father behind her said something that surprised her.

Other words:

"By the way, that kid from the Mizushima family... Mizushima Ayano, how are you getting along with her lately?"

Ayano?

Wakaba Mu was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why her father suddenly mentioned Ayano's name. Could it be that Mujica's affairs had also been discovered?

No... She couldn't admit this.

Wakaba Mu thought about it, and finally said something lamely that anyone who heard it would know was a lie: "I don't know Ayano."

"what?"

Wakaba Junyi looked at his daughter with amusement, "No, I'm not forbidding you from playing with her. Xiaomu, why are you lying about this?"

"I……"

"Build a good relationship with her. She's a good kid. Learn more from her and see what others are doing. Do you understand?"

"what?"

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Mizushima?" Wakaba Jun'ichi frowned. Although he really wanted to get on Nanako's big ship, he really couldn't interfere too much in the quarrel between children.

"No..." At this point, a slight smile appeared on Wakaba Mu's lips, "Ayano is fine."

"How can that be bad? Ah... I mean... ahem, it's nothing. Go practice dancing first."

"Ah."

Although he agreed to this, Ruoye Mu's mood sank to the bottom again.

She was naturally aware of her father's decisive personality. Although she was surprised that Ayano had such a good impression in her father's heart, after thinking about it, it didn't seem surprising.

Of course, the most important thing is that I can’t continue practicing guitar now.

When she returned to her room, she quickly discovered that the guitar she had placed on the shelf when she just returned home was gone. She knew without a doubt that it must have been taken away by her mother.

Ruo Ye Mu just sat by the bed, silently watching the last bit of sunset light disappear. The night bloomed under her gaze, and she just said nothing until she received a message from Su Shi.

[Sushi: Xiaomu, Ayano promised me, but you don't have to worry, Xiaomu, Ayano will not leave Mujica. ]

"..."

Wakaba Mu felt very aggrieved. It was not because she associated anything with Su Shi's words, but because she suddenly realized that she seemed to hurt Saki again.

If I can't practice, or even rehearse with everyone else... then Saki will definitely be upset, right? Because I'll be holding everyone back.

She didn't know who to talk to because she never knew how to reveal her inner thoughts to others.

Some people can't help but complain to others when they encounter problems. Such people are undoubtedly weak.

But if Ye Mu is the kind of person who is so weak that he can't even complain to others.

At this moment, she found that she had received a new message on her mobile phone, but this time it was from Ayano, and the content of the message surprised her a little.

Ayano: Mutsu, how are you doing lately? If there's anything you want to tell me, you can tell me. Friends don't need to hide things, right?

"..."

At this moment, Ruo Yemu had a wonderful feeling in his heart.

Ayano...how did she know that? Was it because I didn't attend the celebration party last time?

But no matter what the reason was, at this moment Ruoye Mu really had an irresistible desire to confide in the other party.

She typed a lot, deleted a lot, and finally left only a simple sentence:

[Ayano, I might have to quit mujica for a while.]

Wakaba Mu was very nervous. She didn't know that Ayano misunderstood her words as her fleeing for fear of "crime". She just looked at her phone, waiting for the other party's reply.

But when Ayano really replied, Wakaba Mu was stunned.

[Ayano: Want to run away? No way. You're part of my family after signing the contract. You can run away if you want, but you have to pay first!]

Chapter 268 Ruo Yemu's Hesitation and Choice (1/2)

Mizushima Ayano is not a fool, so she quickly realized the meaning behind Xiaomu's words.

Ruo Yemu is different from others. She rarely expresses her own feelings, but more often expresses a result or the feelings of others.

He is good at observing when dealing with others, but only stays on the surface when dealing with himself. This is not just a desire to escape, but also a kind of gentleness that is unique to Ruoye Mu.

However, Ayano did not intend to ask any further questions. She knew that the girl was facing a very difficult decision. If Xiaomu was willing to take the most crucial step, then she would not mind helping her complete the remaining ninety-nine steps.

But if Xiao Mu herself doesn't have this plan, then no matter how much she says, it will be useless.

"Xiao Xiang."

"Hmm?" Xiangzi, who was sitting on Ayano's bed, looking at his phone and wondering what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "Have you rested well? If you've rested well, why don't you practice the piano quickly?"

"Don't be so harsh, I have something to tell you."

Xiangzi frowned, looking suspiciously at the girl sitting in front of her at the piano. In her opinion, Ayano usually wouldn't speak to her so seriously, but now she looked so serious...

"What do you think of Xiaomu..."

"Xiao Mu?!"

"...are you

"What are you thinking about again?" Ayano rolled her eyes, looking at Xiangzi who had become more and more jumpy recently, and she didn't know what to say.

Come to think of it, she actually hadn't done anything to Xiaoxiang for several days. After all, she didn't have much time to be alone with him every week. At home, Aiyin was watching over him, and at the company... there were even more outsiders around.

However, despite this, Ayano always felt that Xiangzi's recent behavior was a little strange, as if she was always on guard against what she might do to others.

Alas...Ain is not as dedicated as you.

"I...so what happened to Xiaomu?" Xiangzi also felt that she had overreacted. After ruling out those improper thoughts, she also thought of something, "Could it be that something went wrong at Xiaomu's home?"

"I don't know, but she did tell me that. She said she might have to quit mujica for a while."

"what?!"

Toyokawa Shoko's face suddenly became uncertain, her cherry mouth opened wide as if to stuff an egg in it, but her expression changed a lot but she still couldn't say a coherent sentence.

Her first reaction was surprise, and the next moment she seemed to have thought of something.

"I see. It must be about the ballet competition."

"Hmm? A ballet competition?"

Seeing Ayano's surprised look, Xiangzi couldn't help but have a hint of pride on his lips. Of course, this pride was simply because Ayano didn't know Xiaomu better than he did.

Even though Wakaba Mutsu had been a playmate since childhood, knowing Mutsu better than Ayano was not really something to be proud of.

"Xiao Mu's family is very strict with her. Although they haven't directly deprived her of the right to choose any of her personal hobbies, her family has always been pessimistic about these things.

Rather than calling guitar a hobby, it’s more of an indulgence or a distraction.”

"what?"

"Because Xiaomu's parents really hope that she can get in touch with higher-level art and join the upper-class people in the future, so... playing in a band is actually not a serious matter in their eyes."

"I do know a little about this..." Ayano thought for a moment, finally understanding why her mother had disapproved of her bringing Xiaomu in. "But what is this ballet competition you're talking about?"

"It's the Neon National Youth Ballet Grand Prix, held every year. It's a very important competition for Xiaomu and her parents.

I hadn't considered this competition before, and Xiaomu isn't the type to tell anyone about it and make them worry about her...

By the way, she said she wanted to quit for a while, what did you say to her?

"Uh..." Ayano rubbed her head awkwardly, "I can't tell her to leave."

"what?"

"It's okay." Ayano quickly regained her usual calmness and confidence, then took out her cell phone and made a call directly.

Maybe Wakaba Mutsu on the other end didn't expect Ayano to call suddenly, so Ayano had to wait for a long time before the call was connected.

"Hey……"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very low, but Ayano still recognized it as Xiaomu's voice.

At this moment, Ayano suddenly felt like an unscrupulous capitalist, forcing a weak, pitiful and delicate girl to work for her.

However, when she saw Shoko Toyokawa standing beside her with her arms folded and a look of anticipation on her face, this thought suddenly disappeared.

How could she be an unscrupulous capitalist?

Haven’t you seen that classmate Xiangzi is now willing to clean for you for free, and is even looking for opportunities to give you a free massage?

She is clearly the Emperor Liu, who wins people over with virtue, not money.

"Xiao Mu." Ayano, who was holding the phone, finally turned her attention to Wakaba Mu on the other end of the line. She asked in a very calm and gentle tone, "Have you encountered any problems? If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I won't let you go."

"I…I need to practice for the ballet competition in two weeks."

Ruoye Mu on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly told the truth.

Because she always felt that if she didn't say it, Ayano on the other end of the phone might not let it go. This feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable, but also made her feel very at ease.

Her contradictory personality created contradictory emotions. She regretted what she said, but also looked forward to Ayano's reply.

"Ballet..."

Having said this, Ayano stretched out her words and suddenly looked at Xiangzi.

"Why are you looking at me? I have very poor coordination and I don't know anything about dancing."

"...Xiao Xiang, you're so shameless. I didn't intend to let you teach me. Are you addicted to teaching me?" Ayano couldn't help but roll her eyes at the narcissistic Xiao Xiang in front of her, and then she said to herself or to Xiao Mu on the other end of the phone, "But I can let my mom contact the ballet teacher... After all, anything can be solved if you have money.

It’s not impossible to practice ballet and rehearse at the same time. Anyway, it’s still a long time before the next live performance, and the practice intensity is not too intense now.”

"…So what's so great about being rich?"

"Yeah, once you have money, you can even capture the blue-haired succubus and make him your wife.

For servants~"

"Mizushima Ayano!"

Just when Toyokawa Shoko was about to rush up and scratch Ayano, Wakaba Mutsu on the other end of the phone said somewhat dejectedly:

"Ayano... I'm sorry, my guitar has been taken away, and my dad... probably won't let me practice guitar anymore."

Chapter 269 You don't think I'm stupid, do you? (Also 27)

Ayano feels like Lara Croft from the famous video game Tomb Raider.

——Wherever you go, it collapses.

Not long after she joined Xiao Deng's band, the band suddenly broke up for unknown reasons because of the song "Spring Shadow", and even in her opinion, the reason was extremely bizarre.
