Chapter 164 Seeing Through

Liu Hao received another urging text message from Su Ning, [Didn’t I ask you to report the progress every day? What’s going on? Does Su Mu have a crush on you?]

He kept urging him all day long, and Liu Hao got angry, [Su Ning, you are with me just to use me and let me help you deal with Su Mu, right? ! ! !]

When Su Ning saw the message, he panicked for a moment. No, he was too anxious. If he annoyed Liu Hao, and he was unwilling to help him deal with Su Mu, it would be bad.

This time, Su Ning’s reply was much softer, and even had a bit of coquettish meaning in it.

[Liu Hao, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to teach Su Mu a lesson. You know, he has been bullying me at home, and I just wanted to fight back.]

[You said you were willing to help me, so I let you go. If you didn't want to, I wouldn't force you to do this. It's all because I'm too weak and I don't dare to confront Su Mu on my own. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you help me.]

To put it bluntly, you helped me voluntarily, and I didn't force you. You can't blame me.

Liu Hao felt like he had swallowed a fly, with a mixture of disgust, but even though he was attracted to Su Mu now, he didn't want to give up Su Ning. Although

Su Ning was not as good as Su Mu, she also met his aesthetic standards.

Liu Hao and Su Ning met because of a variety show. They were both at the bottom of the show. They were both amateurs and were the ones who were bullied the most. So, under the complex of "being in the same boat", the two of them got to know each other.

After Su Ning learned that Liu Hao could play the piano, he had an idea.

Wasn't he looking for someone to separate the relationship between Su Mu and Chu Hanting?

Wasn't Liu Hao the best bait that came to him?

So, when Liu Hao approached Su Ning, Su Ning did not refuse and kept him hanging, which led to the current situation.

Liu Hao still pretended to be considerate, [Don't blame you, I was willing to help you, I just want to tell you not to rush, Su Mu is too defensive, if I do it too obviously, he will be suspicious, fish have to be caught slowly.] This

applies to Su Mu and Su Ning.

[Well, come on, you must make Su Mu completely devoted to you and obey you!]

...

Tomorrow is the day of the official performance, and everyone needs to do the last run-in practice this afternoon.

"Su Mu, wait a minute."

Before entering the practice room, Liu Hao called Su Mu, "Wait, I have something to tell you."

This time Su Mu did not ignore him, but stopped and waited for Liu Hao to speak.

It's not that Su Mu was soft-hearted or anything, but he felt that Liu Hao had been quiet for so many days and suddenly came to him again, maybe he was up to something bad.

"What's the matter? I have nothing to say to you." Su Mu still responded with a cold expression.

Liu Hao has become accustomed to his attitude and is not entangled with it. "Su Mu, I want to know why you are so nice to everyone else but not to me. Did I do something to annoy you?"

"Even if you annoy me, you have to give a reason. I don't mean anything else. I just think that we are all in the same team, and personal discord will affect the group. I am here to ease the relationship between us."

Su Mu responded indifferently, "There is no need for that. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I won't conflict with you."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Although Liu Hao guessed that Su Mu would have this reaction, he still felt frustrated, especially when Su Mu looked at him as if he was looking at dust.

Liu Hao had never suffered such a defeat at the hands of a person. Looking at Su Mu's back, his eyes gradually became vicious.

"Su Mu, don't blame me. You asked for this. If you had looked me in the eye, you wouldn't have..."

Liu Hao followed Su Mu in. After entering, he looked around and found Li Jie first. He exchanged glances with him and Li Jie nodded at him.

No one paid attention to the two's little movements.

Cooperating with Li Jie was not the best strategy, and the risk of being exposed was too great. However, in the past few days, Su Mu did not give him a chance to get close to him. Even if he had a eloquent tongue, he could not use it because Su Mu refused to listen to him at all, as if he was completely blocked from his words. He

had no choice but to make this bad move.

But no matter whether it was a bad move or a good move, it was useful.

Su Mu sat on the piano stool, thinking back to what Liu Hao said. This man was two-faced and was very good at doing things secretly. It was definitely not that simple for him to talk to him just now.

These past few days, he had always been very careful and on guard, but Liu Hao had not made any moves.

If he wanted to deal with him, where would he start?

Tomorrow was the time for the official performance. Could he give him laxatives? Impossible. He had no chance to touch his partner's food. He always got his own food and ate it directly without passing it through a third person.

So, what was he planning?

Su Mu was used to thinking while playing the piano, and he was more focused when playing the piano.

As he thought about it, he started playing.

Just after he struck a note, he suddenly got an inspiration.

He stared at the piano for a while.

"Su Mu, are you ready? Let's practice the last ensemble."

The old members called Su Mu, and suddenly Su Mu turned around and shouted, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" asked the conductor.

Su Mu tilted his head and looked at where Liu Hao was standing, and he smiled.

Liu Hao:...What do you mean? Su Mu suddenly laughed at himself, which was unusual for him. He must have been holding back his fart!

Su Mu said to the conductor confidently, "It's like this, I think Mr. Liu Hao should also come to practice playing together. Since he is a substitute, he should be able to play with everyone. Although I don't want to curse myself, if I can't be there tomorrow, Liu Hao will have to take over."

"I saw that he was practicing alone before, and didn't play with everyone. Tomorrow is the official performance, in order to prevent him from making a fool of himself tomorrow, Liu Hao should be allowed to practice with everyone."

The conductor felt that what he said made sense. He

said to Liu Hao, "Come on, play with us once."

Liu Hao: ...What's wrong with Su Mu, did he know something? It's unlikely!

Why did you bring up this matter at this time?

Liu Hao still had a kind face, and acted a little flattered. "Conductor, I want to listen to Su Mu play first, so that I can learn from him before playing with everyone."

Li Jie immediately helped and said, "Yes, let Su Mu play first, so that he can set an example for Liu Hao."

Su Mu listened to the two people's speeches and immediately felt that he was right.

Originally, he was just testing it casually, and this Li Jie, could it be that he had known about it for a long time and was helping Liu Hao?

Su Mu looked at the cellist. He remembered that the man who spoke this way had said on the first day when Lin Yu brought them here that this man did not get along with him, and at that time he did not even look at himself and Liu Hao.

While Su Mu was thinking, the commander said, "In that case, then you go first, Su Mu, and show Liu Hao."

"Commander, I suddenly have a stomachache. How about letting Liu Hao go first? I'll observe where he goes wrong, and I can give him some pointers then."

"Commander, let Su Mu go first, I..."

The two of them kicked the ball for a while, and the commander was a little unhappy, and the other old members around were also stunned.

What's going on? Is this ensemble a big deal? Why don't they dare to go first?

The commander didn't know what was going on, and Su Mu didn't know what was going on either, but he knew Liu Hao must know.

The two were deadlocked, and no one was willing to play first.

The conductor was furious and said to Liu Hao, "It's you. Come over here and practice first."

After all, Su Mu had been quite happy with them and rehearsing these days, so the conductor was more inclined to give Su Mu this face.

Liu Hao never thought that this calculation would directly burn him. Of

course he couldn't go over to play, because...

However, the conductor was already impatient, "Hurry up and come here. If you don't come to practice, I will withdraw from this performance."

Although he was just a substitute and had no chance to perform, as long as he was still in this group, he would also receive commissions.

If he was forced to withdraw now, these days would be in vain.

Liu Hao secretly gritted his teeth and walked over slowly, stalling for time while thinking about how to solve the current situation.

Liu Hao was not the only one who was anxious, Li Jie was also anxious. He never thought that things would suddenly turn out like this. Both of them were caught off guard.

Liu Hao thought about it, but Li Jie did it.

The two of them knew the problem of the piano better than anyone else.
