She had originally thought that Tian Nalin had invited her to stay the night and get a good night's sleep out of consideration for her, but she hadn't realized that he had no such intentions and that she had simply been deluded.
And she couldn't show this emotion. If Tian Nalin found out that she was pretending to be asleep, she would become a girl with indecent behavior, and she would be suspected of doing it on purpose even if she was careless last time.
Fortunately, Tian Nalin only complained a few words, then took out a spare pillow and put it aside, and covered her with the air-conditioned quilt.
Feeling the other person's gentle movements, Xiangzi felt himself wrapped in warmth, and most of the negative emotions in his heart immediately disappeared.
Then Tian Nalin turned off the computer and fluorescent lights and went back to the bedroom to rest. He had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity, but instead kept muttering to himself.
[Damn it... I have to be a man worse than an animal again tonight. Teacher Daxiang really doesn't treat me as a man.]
This caused Xiangzi's originally calm emotions to fluctuate violently again. He was so angry that his breathing became faster, and he even doubted his own charm for a moment.
"This guy! He seems quite smart normally, but why does he always act like an idiot at critical moments?"
She kept complaining in her heart, recalling what Tian Nalin had done, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Tian Na-kun, could it be that you think Hatsuka and I are a couple, and that's why you don't have that kind of feeling towards me?"
The more Xiangzi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. After all, that pervert liked to control lesbians and even wrote such an alternative little work with her as the protagonist.
"No, I have to find a chance to deny this, otherwise, Tenna-kun, that idiot..."
While thinking about emotional problems, Xiangzi heard regular breathing sounds coming from the bedroom and realized that the other person was asleep.
"Forget it, let's talk about these things after the band is successful. I don't have the time for that right now."
Thinking of this, Xiangzi stood up and rubbed his arms which were a little sore from being pressed, then slowly took off his socks and trousers, revealing a pair of white and well-proportioned legs.
Then she unbuttoned her pajamas to let the big white rabbits on her chest come out to breathe, and put the pillow straight. Then she lay down on the clean tatami and fell asleep wrapped in the air-conditioned quilt.
……
Late at night, after drinking too much diuretic black tea, Tian Nalin was awakened by a strong feeling of pressure in his bladder.
I habitually get out of bed and go to the bathroom in the dark, for fear that turning on the light would wake up my drowsiness and make it difficult to fall asleep.
After opening the gate to release the floodwater, Tian Nalin pressed the flush button of the toilet. The water rushed out rapidly, making a gurgling sound, waking up the girl in the living room.
Xiangzi opened his eyes drowsily and instinctively thought that he was at home. He ignored the familiar noise and closed his eyes, ready to fall asleep again.
But just as her brain was about to fall into chaos, she suddenly remembered where she was, and her consciousness instantly became extremely clear.
"No! I was at Tenna-kun's house, and it wasn't that jerk dad who flushed the toilet."
Holding his breath, Xiangzi listened carefully to the noise coming from the bathroom. He noticed that the man stopped after coming out, and his heart suddenly jumped into his throat.
Little did she know that Tian Nalin was also wondering why there was someone lying in his living room.
After a few seconds, Tian Nalin realized who this person was.
[It turned out to be Teacher Daxiang. I was shocked.]
At the same time, Xiangzi, who heard the inner voice, figured everything out. The other party was just half asleep like her.
However, her heart was still hanging in the air, because Tian Nalin did not return to the bedroom. She could sense that he was still watching her.
At this moment, Xiangzi felt that she trusted Tian Nalin too much. They actually lived in the same room with him without any precautions. If this guy went wild, she would be at his mercy.
But the next second, Tian Nalin's inner voice came, denying her guess again.
Daixiang's sleeping posture is so beautiful, just like Rikki and Aine's, even her two little feet are together, just like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale.
'What! ’
Xiangzi suddenly opened his eyes.
31
Chapter 31 How am I inferior to her?
Early morning, in the living room of Akabane's rental house.
With the help of the faint moonlight coming in from the window, Tian Nalin could barely see the sleeping posture of the person in front of him.
Xiangzi was seen lying flat on the tatami, his silky blue hair scattered on the pillow like flowers. In the center of the flowers was the beautiful face of a girl, so beautiful that it seemed as if even the moonlight outside the window was illuminating her.
So Tian Nalin sighed and then returned to the bedroom to rest without doing any unnecessary movements.
This behavior made Xiangzi almost jump up and asked him why he knew how Aine and Riki slept. Have you ever lived with them?
But due to face issues, Xiangzi did not get up to ask. He swallowed the doubt and fell asleep due to the rising feeling of fatigue.
This time, because of what she was thinking before going to bed, she dreamed about related content.
In the dream, Tian Nalin did not choose to help her at the beginning, but went to find Gao Songdeng and others to form a band from scratch.
A few years later, after failing to regain her rights, she was invited to attend the other party's wedding. The bride was none other than Tatsuki Shiina, who had long black hair.
Looking at the two of them flirting and teasing each other affectionately, Xiangzi felt a surge of jealousy for some reason. He wanted to go up to Tian Nalin and grab her collar and ask, "How am I inferior to her?"
After enduring this unpleasant wedding, she slowly woke up from her sleep and opened her eyes to see that it was already bright outside.
"Oh no! I must have overslept."
She quickly picked up her phone to check the time and found it was only 5:, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Rubbing his head which was a little swollen due to the nightmare, Xiangzi turned around and looked at the bedroom. Since there was only one air conditioner, the door was open.
Inside the room, Tian Nalin was lying on the mat with his legs spread out and snoring loudly. His pants were bulging high up because of the erection, like a tent.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, Xiangzi hurriedly looked away, his heart beating faster and faster.
"This guy... doesn't even know how to cover himself with a blanket when sharing a room with a girl."
After complaining in her heart, she suppressed her embarrassment, put on her clothes, and folded the air-conditioning quilt neatly.
Xiangzi tiptoed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of tap water and splashed it on her face. The cool touch made her brain instantly clear.
Looking up at the pale blue-haired girl with dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, reason gradually took over.
When did she start to care about other people's opinions and become unlike herself? Not only did she want to spend the night at someone else's place, she even had strange dreams that prevented her from getting a good night's rest.
This cannot continue.
She warned herself: Xiangzi, if you want to regain your power, you should focus on your career and stop being distracted by such things. Otherwise, you will be eliminated by the tide of the times and become a pitiful building block.
After confirming that the blue-haired girl's eyes in the mirror had returned to their coldness, Xiangzi turned off the faucet and left the rental house without looking back.
……
The next day, in a private room of a high-end cafe in Ikebukuro.
Tian Nalin took the three tickets handed to him by Chu Hua and returned one of them to him.
"Ms. Chuhua, I have the ticket. It was given to me by Ms. Xiangzi."
"Really? Mr. Tianna and Xiaoxiang have a really good relationship."
Chuhua took back the tickets and started preaching.
Although the girl's tone was very casual, Tian Nalin heard a faint hint from it, and estimated that the other party's strategy was not progressing smoothly.
Besides, Xiangzi clearly went to the hospital that night, but he didn't notify Chuhua, which is very telling.
He thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Miss Chuhua with Miss Xiangzi every day? Could it be that the two of you are...?"
"No."
Chu Hua smiled as usual and said, "We are too busy with work, and it is difficult to have private time together."
"That's it."
Tian Nalin nodded in understanding and took the opportunity to tell the information he knew, "I've actually only met Miss Xiangzi twice recently. Last weekend, she fainted from overwork and was sent to the hospital..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Hua, who usually showed no anger, opened his eyes wide and asked impatiently: "Is Xiaoxiang okay?"
"Miss Chuhua, please rest assured. Miss Xiangzi is in good health. It was just an accident."
Seeing Chu Hua heaved a sigh of relief, Tian Nalin continued, "That day I happened to be with Miss Ruoye who had received the notice, so I helped pick up Miss Xiangzi from the hospital..."
After hearing the story, Chu Hua's last doubts were dispelled, and he expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Tianna, for your help."
"You're welcome."
Tian Nalin smiled slightly and took out the birthday gift he had prepared. "Miss Chuhua, your birthday is in two days, right? I'd like to wish you a happy birthday in advance."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Tianna."
Chu Hua took it with a smile and couldn't help but feel a little fondness for the man in front of her.
Afterwards, Tian Nalin chatted for a while, revealed a little information about Xiangzi, and then left without saying a word, hiding his achievements and fame.
After Chu Hua sent him away, he sat in his seat and pondered for a long time.
She originally thought that Xiangzi was deliberately keeping his distance because of the unpleasant incident last time, and that the gap between them would naturally disappear over time and they would restore their previous friendship.
Now it seems that the situation is far more serious than she thought. Xiangzi even hid his hospitalization from her. If it weren't for Tian Nalin's reminder, she would still be unaware of it. If this continues, the two of them will only drift apart and eventually become ordinary friends for life.
That was definitely not the ending she wanted to see.
It was because of her admiration for Xiangzi that she came to this cold and ruthless metropolis alone, broke into the cruel entertainment industry alone, endured unfair treatment to climb to her current position, so how could she tolerate such a distant friendship now?
It would be better to say that she, who was born in an island fishing village, understands the law of the jungle in nature better. Fishermen are not as simple and honest as city people imagine. In fact, people living in resource-poor areas often fight for petty profits.
Growing up in this environment, Chu Hua understood from a young age that happiness must be earned, and that beauty is only for the strong. Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt ashamed because of the disparity in status between them.
So it's time to take action again, even at the risk of being disliked by Xiaoxiang.
-
In the following two days, the progress of Ave Mujica's first album (Alea jactaest) progressed in an orderly manner. All the recording was completed the day before Chuhua's birthday. The remaining mixing and other projects will be handled by professional staff.
The Mujica band took a day off to let everyone rest, gather enough energy for the final sprint, and celebrate a member's birthday.
On the afternoon of the 26th, the girls gathered in a private room of a restaurant to attend Chuhua's birthday party, which was also the first dinner party of the Mujica band.
The first to arrive were the rhythm section players Miao Meng and Hai Ling. They chatted with each other about trivial matters while waiting for the arrival of the rest of the members.
Miao Meng lay on the table and complained: "Nene~Hai Ling, don't you think Xiangzi is too partial? Last time, I didn't even get a present for my birthday, but when it was Chuhua's turn, he held a special party."
Hachiman Kailing sat upright in her seat, her face expressionless as she said, "Ms. Miao Meng, we weren't all that familiar with each other back then, so it was normal to maintain social distance. I'm sure everyone will make it up to you on your next birthday."
"Wow~ That's a year away. Meow Mengqin wants to receive everyone's gifts now."
Miao Meng stood up and winked, suggesting, "How about Hai Ling come and help us?"
"What help?"
Hachiman Kailing asked pretending to be ignorant.
"Moo~ Hailing, come and help me convince everyone. Meow Meng dear, please tell me if you want a gift."
Miao Meng tugged at the former's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Hmm... this is a little difficult."
Hachiman Kailing held her chin with her hand, pretending to analyze things rationally, "After all, it's been so long since Miss Meow Meng's birthday."
"Hey——Why is that?"
Miao Meng lay back on the table and said, "I'm not going to pay attention to you, Hai Ling."
"Well, I see."
Hachiman Kailing was delighted by this.
Seeing the other party's refusal to budge, Miao Meng pouted unhappily. "Miao Meng, you're completely disappointed with this cold-blooded band. You're not as nice as Brother Tianna. At least he gave you a birthday present. It was a six-figure red envelope."
"Is it."
Hachiman Kailing's tone remained indifferent, without even blinking.
Just when Miao Meng was about to say something, the door of the private room suddenly opened, and Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu walked in one after another.
Miao Meng immediately put on a smiling face and greeted: "Xiangzi, Xiaomu, you are here~"
"Well, good afternoon, Ms. Yutenji, Ms. Hachiman."
Xiangzi nodded slightly and returned the greeting on behalf of Ruoye Mu.
Then the two of them sat down, and Xiangzi explained: "Chuhua needs to finish the birthday program prepared by Sumimi's agency before she can come here. Please wait a little longer."
"It's ok."
Hai Ling responded.
