Chapter 28 Strategy
"Uncle, go change your clothes quickly. It's best to take a hot bath before changing to prevent colds. I'll make some soup for you."

Xia Qing turned her head away and hurried to the kitchen while talking. Lin Guzhi said no, but she didn't hear him. She went to the kitchen, put the pot on the fire, and then dissed herself crazily.

Am I crazy?! Why am I a housekeeper again?! Are you planning to change your career?! You don’t write music or sing songs, but you become a housekeeper?!

But the words had already been spoken, people from the kitchen came in and put the pot on the stove, Xia Qing had no choice but to sigh and continue to cook the soup.

There weren't many ingredients at home, and she couldn't make any complicated soup, so she just made some simple ginger soup. While working, she said to herself: Forget it, this stinky uncle and Xiaoxi gave me a lot of inspiration. Thanks to them, I was able to write three songs in a short time. Just consider it as a reward for them.

The soup was ready in a short while. But Xia Qing didn't rush out of the kitchen. Instead, she called Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, has the uncle come out of the shower?"

Xiaoxi could understand what she meant by calling "uncle".

After a few days of getting along, and giving gifts and teaching her to play the harmonica, she became a little familiar with Xiaoxi. Now Xiaoxi was not opposed to talking to Xia Qing, so she replied: "Come out."

Xia Qing then brought out two bowls of ginger soup, one full for Lin Guzhi, and one half full for Xiaoxi.

"Here, drink it up, it will warm you up."

She put down the bowl and asked Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, do you need some sugar?"

Xiaoxi had already picked up the bowl and drank it down. This little girl drank even faster than an adult.

——At least he drinks faster than Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was a little surprised, and besides being surprised, she was also a little happy.

This little girl, isn't she afraid of poisoning herself?

She felt a great sense of accomplishment, and when Lin Guzhi finished drinking the ginger soup, she happily took the bowl to the kitchen to clean up. While cleaning up, she couldn't help but think: This stinky uncle, apart from the fact that he and Xiaoxi don't look alike, they really look like father and daughter. They do everything exactly the same, and they both drink the ginger soup so quickly.

After washing the dishes, she came out of the kitchen and noticed that Xiaoxi was still holding the harmonica she bought. It seemed that the little girl had been holding the harmonica since she came in, and only put it in her pocket for a while when she drank the ginger soup.

Giving gifts is indeed the most direct and effective way to increase favorability and conquer characters. My bestie is always sincere!

"Xiao Xi, can we continue learning to play the piano?"

She plans to work harder to improve her relationship with Xiaoxi.

Although this little girl is a little strange compared to other children, she is generally so well-behaved and sensible, making people like her. Xia Qing unconsciously wanted to get close to Xiaoxi.

However, Xiaoxi did not answer, but turned to look at Lin Guzhi.

Lin Guzhi nodded, and she nodded as well, saying, "Yeah."

"..."

Xia Qing felt a little conflicted. This stinky uncle seemed like a useful tool to conquer Xiaoxi, but also like a stumbling block on his way to conquer Xiaoxi.

However, she only thought about these messy thoughts in her mind. If she showed them all, she felt that she would be regarded as an inexplicable weirdo.

What kind of strategy is this? Xiaoxi is a person, not a character in a Galgame!

"Come on, first recall the harmonica you played that day. Do you remember how you played it?"

She pulled Xiaoxi to sit on the sofa, and she also took out her new harmonica, sat sideways facing Xiaoxi, and asked.

Xiaoxi nodded, put her harmonica to her mouth and started playing.

"Uuuuuu——"

The sound of the harmonica rang out from her lips, but there was no melody or rhythm at all. In other words, it was just a sound.

Xiaoxi had learned to play the harmonica, but she could only play it well. How could the little girl, who knew nothing about music theory, play out a melody and rhythm? This disappointed Xia Qing. She had composed a song based on the melody that Xiaoxi had played unintentionally during the day, and now she wanted to hear if Xiaoxi could reproduce the melody that she had played during the day. Now that she thought about it, she realized that she had been overthinking.

Yes, how could such a tiny little girl, who has not received any systematic training, possibly achieve what she wants?

"Xiao Xi, listen to what I play. Does it sound like what you played during the day?"

Xia Qing waited for Xiaoxi to finish playing, smiled and said something to Xiaoxi, then raised the harmonica to her lips and played according to the composed tune, "Woo~Woo..."

Xiaoxi looked at Xia Qing quietly and was fascinated for a moment.

Lin Guzhi stood beside the sofa, also listening quietly. He felt a sense of dreamlike beauty in this piece of music composed only of the sound of the harmonica. Every note was like a carefully polished pearl, mellow and moving.

She is truly a female singer who is good at both singing and songwriting. She is really talented.

Lin Guzhi admired him in his heart.

"How is it? Does it sound familiar?"

After playing this piece, Xia Qing asked Xiao Xi, "Does it sound like the one you played during the day?"

Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, then nodded and said, "Yeah."

Xia Qing: "..."

Why do I feel like this little girl is just trying to please me and agree to what I say? !
No! It's not a feeling! It's a fact!
She looked carefully at Xiaoxi's expression and was convinced. This little girl was actually using false promises to deal with her!

How could she still do this?!

This makes it seem as if something will happen if I don't get the answer I want...

Who taught her that?!

Xia Qing was speechless for a while, and she glanced at Lin Guzhi unconsciously. She wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.

Forget it, forget it, you are already an adult, why bother with a child?
She controlled the smile on her face and said to Xiaoxi, "Then I will teach you, okay?"

"it is good."

Xiaoxi agreed, then asked doubtfully, "But sister, didn't you just say you would teach me?"

Xia Qing laughed and said, "I just said I would teach you how to play the harmonica. Now I mean I would teach you how to play it as well as I do."

"Ah."

Xiaoxi nodded again, her little head nodding seriously and solemnly. It seemed that she really liked the sound of the harmonica.

Lin Guzhi also noticed that Xia Qing had great confidence in music, as well as the ability to match his confidence.

This woman became a little dazzling when she was confident at this moment.

"I'll teach you from the very basics first. Xiaoxi, you're still too young to learn it, but you can remember the key points of the positions first..."

Xia Qing began to explain to Xiaoxi.

Lin Guzhi did not disturb the two women, one big and one small, and returned to the bedroom silently.

He listened quietly in the bedroom and smiled unconsciously.

After coming into this world, Xiaoxi gradually began to get close to new people, and had new toys and hobbies. This is a really good sign.
