Chu Hua didn't know that Tian Nalin had already suspected something deeper. He thought that the former had only guessed his superficial motives and was still acting according to the original plan.
"friend?"
"Yes, yesterday I specifically asked my colleagues about Mr. Tianna's situation. I learned that you have achieved such remarkable achievements at such a young age. I think there will definitely be opportunities for us to cooperate in the future." Chu Hua explained in his usual social tone.
"No, in terms of achievements, I am far inferior to you, Miss Chuhua."
"But they're fundamentally different." Chu Hua shook his head. "Most of my achievements came from recommendations from the firm, but Mr. Tianna entered the industry through his own hard work and now has the company's recognition. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he truly becomes famous."
"Miss Chuhua, thank you for the compliment."
Even though he knew it was just polite talk, Tian Nalin couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he heard the other person praising him in such a gentle voice. After all, he had such a great face. Even if he cursed, there would probably be some pervert who would rush to get the chance to be cursed.
After several rounds of conversation, most of Tian Nalin's suspicions were eliminated, the atmosphere between the two gradually became relaxed and friendly, and Sanjiao Chuhua also began to lead the topic in the direction he wanted.
"Mr. Tianna is so young and talented. Does he have a girlfriend now?" she asked casually.
"Unfortunately, no."
"How could it be!" Chu Hua asked in half-serious surprise.
"That's the truth, and I don't have any plans in that regard lately," Tian Nalin replied truthfully. After seeing the beauty of the girls in the Bang Bang band, he no longer had any interest in ordinary women.
If he has to find someone to be his girlfriend or even marry in the future, he might pursue Popipa's Hanazono Tae, or Roselia's Platinum Rinko, both of whom have long straight black hair that suits his aesthetic.
As for Tatsuki Shiina of the MyGO band, he has no such thoughts at all. He only has the pure desire to protect everyone's lifelong friendship.
Seeing that Tian Nalin didn't look like he was lying, Chuhua's tense heart finally relaxed. This was undoubtedly good news.
"I see. Mr. Tianna, are you planning to prioritize your career?"
"That's about right, what about you, Miss Chuhua?"
"Mr. Tianna and I have similar ideas, and we don't have much time to interact with each other in our current situation." Chu Hua said with a smile.
"Miss Chuhua, you must be very busy."
Tian Nalin also has a general understanding of the situation in the entertainment industry. For a popular idol singer like Chu Hua, the agency will definitely arrange almost endless commercial performances for him, hoping to squeeze out his current popularity as much as possible to make more profits.
"Yes, actually I really envy free musicians like Mr. Tianna." Chuhua sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing the fatigue revealed between the former's brows, Tian Nalin couldn't help but feel pity for him. He asked knowingly:
"Since Miss Chu Hua doesn't like her current job, yet she's still active in the entertainment industry, is there any important reason?"
"Well, I'm doing this for a good friend. She's been in trouble lately and needs help, so no matter how tired I am, I have to keep going." Chu Hua pretended to be strong and spoke.
"I see. Then Miss Chuhua must have a very good relationship with her friends."
Chu Hua shook her head and said, "To be honest, Mr. Tianna, this is all wishful thinking on my part. She has a strong sense of self-esteem and probably doesn't want to accept help from others. I've been struggling with this issue lately."
"Oh? That's really tricky."
Tian Nalin seemed to be worried on the surface, but secretly he had an idea. He thought that this might be a good opportunity to unite with Chuhua and redeem Teacher Daxiang.
But the key question is whether he is willing to spend the time and energy to do so. After all, Shoko Toyokawa's current predicament is mostly caused by his own fault.
If he were in this situation, he would have been willing to accept other people's kind help. Not to mention solving the core problem, at least talking it out would make his whole mental state different.
And the MyGO band has been officially formed, so his focus will definitely be there, and his interactions with Xiangzi will become less and less.
Chu Hua keenly caught Tian Nalin's hesitation, mistakenly thinking that he was thinking of someone, and quickly made a move to retreat in order to advance.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tianna, I spoke about some personal matters without your permission and made you laugh."
"No, I'm really happy that Miss Chuhua can talk to me about this. It feels like we're just chatting with friends."
"Really? In fact, when I was talking with you, Mr. Tianna, I felt very relaxed and natural for some reason. It turns out that I'm not the only one who feels this way." Chu Hua put on another layer of armor to prevent suspicion.
Hearing this, Tian Nalin's heart softened and he thought, "Never mind. I'm kindhearted after all. For Chuhua's sake, I'll just help Teacher Daxiang one last time."
So he continued, "Actually, I also have a friend who has a very similar personality to what Miss Chuhua described, and he also has a bad temper."
"Really? Mr. Tian Na has worked so hard." A hint of joy flashed in Chu Hua's purple crystal eyes.
"Yeah, she always makes trouble for no reason. I can never guess what she's thinking." Tian Nalin took the opportunity to complain.
"Her? Could it be that Mr. Tianna's friend is a girl?"
"That's right. Is it your friend too, Miss Chuhua?"
"Well, she is my playmate since childhood. But we met less and less as we grew up, and she gradually became a stranger to me." Chu Hua's great face was stained with sadness.
[Of course not. Teacher Daxiang has changed so much in the past year that it's hard to believe it's the same person unless you see it with your own eyes.]
"So you're childhood sweethearts."
Just when Tian Nalin wanted to reveal more information about Xiangzi, he suddenly saw a blue-haired girl standing up behind the sofa in the booth not far away, and he almost jumped up in surprise.
[Fuck, Teacher Daxiang, why are you here?]
Chapter 75: Seize the current situation
Seeing Tian Nalin looking behind him in shock, Sanjiao Chuhua also turned around to see what was going on behind him.
The next second, her expression synchronized with Tian Nalin's, and she screamed in surprise.
"Xiao Xiang!"
Looking at the two people in a state of shock, Toyokawa Shoko came over and said with a smile, "Hatsuka, Tenna-kun, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
Tian Nalin was the first to come to his senses, and replied with a stiff expression: "Miss Xiangzi, why are you..."
"Ever since Tianna-kun took me to this Chinese restaurant last time, I've fallen in love with it."
"Is that so..." Tian Nalin suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. If he had known earlier that the meeting would take place elsewhere.
Sanjiao Chuhua also reacted, stood up naturally and said, "It's really a coincidence, Xiaoxiang, why don't we go together?"
"Ok."
After agreeing, Xiangzi did not sit next to Chuhua, but squeezed next to Tian Nalin, and the two were almost touching each other.
Tian Nalin immediately moved into the booth, but Xiangzi leaned over again, as if wanting to stick to him.
Seeing this scene, Chu Hua's pupils suddenly shrank, and an extremely bad guess came to his mind in an instant.
"Xiao Xiang, is she pursuing Mr. Tianna?"
Tian Nalin was also wondering what was going on. He looked at the blue-haired girl beside him with a puzzled look, as if asking, "What the hell are you doing?"
However, Xiangzi turned a blind eye, took the new bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the waiter, said thank you, then acted very gently and kindly, and personally picked up a dish for Tian Nalin.
"Tian Na-kun, this sweet and sour pork tastes really good, try it."
"Oh, thank you Miss Xiangzi." Tian Nalin looked down at the meat in the bowl, as if he was looking at a hot potato, and was not in a hurry to taste it.
Chu Hua opposite him seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His body fell limply back into his seat, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this moment, Xiangzi seemed to realize something and said to his dazed friend, "Chuhua, when did you get to know Tianna-kun?"
Hearing the question, Chu Hua forced a smile and said, "It was yesterday... I met Mr. Tianna at the office."
Then she asked anxiously, "Xiaoxiang, are you friends with Mr. Tianna too?"
"Yes, I have been serving as Tenna-kun's tutor recently." Xiangzi admitted frankly.
"So that's how it is..." Chu Hua couldn't help feeling a little irritated, but with strong self-control, she still maintained a warm smile.
[Teacher Daxiang actually said it out loud?] Tian Nalin looked at the blue-haired girl beside him in surprise, his eyes widening.
Toyokawa Shoko continued to fill Tennalin's empty cup with juice, her movements as elegant as if she was pouring black tea.
"What's wrong, Tianna-kun, do you think I disturbed your date with Chuhua?"
"No, I'm very happy to meet Miss Xiangzi."
In reality, Tian Nalin was thinking: "Teacher Daxiang, please don't be like this. It's very scary, okay?"
"That's good." Xiangzi's bright eyes showed a hint of a smile, and he picked up a piece of meat with his own hands.
"Tenna-kun, please open your mouth, ah——"
Faced with Xiangzi's gentle feeding, Tian Nalin opened his mouth and ate it with courage. The gazes from the neighbors made him feel very uncomfortable, and the originally delicious dishes became tasteless.
Chu Hua looked calm on the surface as he watched the two people interacting intimately, but secretly he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Under the table, his hands were tightly gripping the sofa, and his skin had lost its color due to excessive squeezing.
Unable to bear this weird atmosphere, Tian Nalin used the excuse of having to pee to take refuge in the bathroom.
After he left, Xiangzi sat down again. The gentle smile on his pretty face had disappeared, and only a cold scrutiny remained.
"Chu Hua, are you investigating me?"
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang, I just..." Chuhua lowered his head and whispered in defense like a child who had done something wrong.
"You're just trying to help me, right?"
Chu Hua lowered her head and said nothing. Even though she was good at speaking, she couldn't find any good words to ease the current situation.
There was silence at the dinner table for a moment, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Xiangzi snorted coldly, and like a judge passing judgment on fate, he spoke in a cold voice:
"It won't happen again."
"Xiaoxiang!" Chu Hua raised his head in surprise, his tone full of excitement, "Thank you."
However, Xiangzi's next words made her stunned again.
"Chuhua, do you like me?"
Chu Hua's mind was racing, she didn't understand how the other party knew about this, as she had clearly hidden it very well.
Although she could deny it, her intuition told her that if she lied at this moment, she would be abandoned by Xiangzi forever.
Chu Hua then looked directly into the former's eyes and said with a resolute expression, "Yes, Xiao Xiang, I have liked you since the moment I met you as a child."
After receiving a positive answer, Xiangzi lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry Chuhua, I can't give you a response."
"Is it because of Mr. Tianna?"
Xiangzi frowned, "It has nothing to do with him. Chuhua, as a popular idol, you should know what it means when a band member is dating. It means that the group is not far from collapse."
"I understand..." Chu Hua responded dejectedly.
"So I am now announcing the first rule of the Ave Mujica band. Band members are not allowed to have relationships beyond normal friendships. At the same time, I will also lead by example. If Chuhua, you cannot accept this rule, I will give you a chance to withdraw."
Chu Hua said without hesitation: "I accept this rule, Xiao Xiang."
"Are you really willing to accept it?" Xiangzi narrowed his amber pupils and stared at his friend sharply, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Well, I don't expect you to respond to my feelings, Xiaoxiang. I just want to stay by your side." Chu Hua's tone was extremely affectionate.
Feeling the heavy meaning in the other person's words, Xiangzi suddenly regretted looking for this friend.
But now it's too late.
Xiangzi sighed inwardly, stood up and said, "Chuhua, I'm glad you think so. I have something to say goodbye to now. Please be sure to come to the first band practice tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye Xiaoxiang." Chuhua stood up and watched the former leave with a smile.
After Xiangzi's figure completely disappeared, her originally bright pupils dimmed and her face became sad, just like the despair of the Cowherd Band who lost the Magpie Bridge.
Tian Nalin, who was hiding near the bathroom and watching, saw that the evil star had left, and came out to ask with concern: "Miss Chuhua, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mr. Tianna."
Chu Hua forced a smile, her voice was extremely bitter, as if she had drunk a glass of bitter wine, no longer as warm as before.
Seeing this, Tian Nalin roughly guessed what was going on. He thought that Xiangzi must have said something harsh, so he gave him a good scolding.
As for why Xiangzi did this, Tian Nalin had not figured it out yet. The girl's unusual behavior just now had already confused him.
But this did not prevent him from comforting Chu Hua. After all, Chu and Xiang were an officially certified couple, and they were the ones with the greatest probability of redeeming Xiangzi. How could he be so depressed?
Chapter 76 Shield
After thinking for a moment, Tian Nalin encouraged her with a line from a certain saintly girl: "Miss Chuhua, if you give up after a failure and don't know how to regroup and try again, you won't be able to endure such a long life."
"Mr. Tianna..."
Chu Hua, who was in a depressed mood, quickly recovered his energy after hearing these sunny and cheerful words of encouragement, as if he had been given a shot of cardiac stimulant.
"Yeah... Just because I was rejected once, I'm going to give up. How could I be such a shallow comedic character?"
