Kiyotaka didn't care about Kiyotaka's attitude, but said seriously:

"You should focus your energy on your studies now, instead of getting caught up in the band or dating."

According to the life plan that Kita's mother had planned for Kita, Kita should study hard at this stage, then get into a good university, choose a popular major, and after graduation, become a civil servant and live a stable life.

“Auntie, playing in a band and studying don’t necessarily conflict with each other,” Bai Qiu retorted.

Kita nodded in agreement: "I also want to try my best for my dream, Mom."

The word 'dream' seemed to evoke memories of Xi Jiudu's long-standing life.

She clenched her hands, and suddenly said with some excitement:

"Dreams are just dreams after all. We should be content with what we have. If we get too caught up in them, we'll inevitably be deceived in the end. Mom knows this very well!"

Kita called out in confusion, "...Mom?"

Bai Qiu also looked puzzled.

Why is Kita's mother so resistant to Kita pursuing his dreams?

If we knew this, perhaps we could convince Kita's mother.

Then Bai Qiu pointed out incisively: "Why do you assume that Xi Duo will be deceived?"

In a moment of desperation, Kijiro Yuki even bluntly stated, "Because I have been deceived before."

A brief silence fell over the living room.

Xi Shuliu Dai realized at this moment that she had been a little emotional.

She sighed deeply, trying to persuade the two young people to give up their idea.

Kiki Tatsuyu recounted her story of being deceived while pursuing her dreams.

Her dream was to become a novelist.

When I was in college, I worked hard to win the novel newcomer award, but I still failed.

Later, an editor from a publishing house approached her.

She was told that her novel would definitely be a bestseller once it was published, so she used all her money, including her tuition fees, to send to the editor for self-publishing.

However, they ended up being victims of publishing fraud.

The book was never published, and the editor disappeared.

Kita's mother not only caused trouble for her parents, but also incurred a large debt.

Thinking of this, Kita said to Kita earnestly, "Pursuing dreams is difficult, so I don't want you to follow in my footsteps, Kita."

Bai Qiu and Xi Duo were stunned after hearing this.

Kita's mother actually enjoys writing novels.

Bai Qiu smiled.

But this way.

Perhaps he will find a way to gain Kita's mother's trust.

Chapter 159 Successfully Persuading Kita's Mother

"Actually, I also write light novels."

Bai Qiu said calmly.

"Huh?" Kita Ikuyo looked at Shiraaki in surprise.

"You?" Xi Jiuliu Dai was only slightly surprised.

"Mm." Bai Qiu nodded.

Then Bai Qiu took out his phone and opened the light novel author's account on a social media app in front of the two of them.

Bai Qiu pointed her phone screen at them.

He revealed his identity as a light novel author to the two of them.

When I saw the account named "He Huohuo" displayed on the screen, and its hundreds of thousands of followers.

Kita Ikuyo and Kita Takuya were both stunned.

Their eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief crossed their faces.

Then came a gasp of surprise!

"Eh eh eh——"

Bai Qiu had to cover her ears with one hand.

They truly are a mother and daughter.

"Gentlemen, I think we can calm down."

Bai Qiu said something quietly.

Swallowing hard, Xiduo and her mother looked up at Bai Qiu in unison.

My bandmate is a popular light novel author?!

Kita Ikuyo felt like she was dreaming, which made her inexplicably excited.

Xi Shuojiu fell into deep thought.

She couldn't help but begin to re-examine the young man in front of her.

Even if she didn't think it was true, the hundreds of thousands of subscribers displayed on her phone couldn't lie.

The boy my daughter brought home.

He's a gigolo in her eyes.

It turned out to be the popular light novel author she had always dreamed of becoming.

Do people who say they're giving up on their dreams really ignore them completely?

At least, the idea of ​​how long a generation can last is not like this.

When she has free time late at night, she also reads light novels and keeps up with industry news.

Therefore, she had heard of Bai Qiu's great reputation.

In the blink of an eye, Xi Shuliu's gaze towards Bai Qiu became more intense with fervor and admiration.

Her inner creative desires seemed to be ignited.

Do you want my autograph first, and then we can exchange writing tips?

Should I first ask Teacher He Huohuo to help me see if there is any chance of publishing the works I have written over the years?

For her daughter's sake, Teacher He Huohuo will agree, right?

Having achieved her goal, Bai Qiu smiled and looked at Kita's mother:

"Now you believe me, right?"

Xi looked embarrassed as he stayed.

Since the other party can become a popular light novel author.

So what I just said, that she has a professional-level performance skill, is definitely true.

"I believe you." Kikunojo nodded apologetically.

I can feel the change in Xi's attitude towards staying.

Bai Qiu also felt that there was hope.

So he got back to the point and said to Kita, "You've already worked hard for your dream, and it's not impossible for it to come true, so why not give Kita a chance to try?"

"Yes!" Kita Ikuyo looked at her mother expectantly.

Xi Shuojiu frowned slightly, caught in a dilemma.

She certainly wouldn't object to Kita being with such an outstanding person.

It's more accurate to say that their own daughter has made a huge profit.

If someone can succeed in light novels, they might just be able to achieve something in a band.

However, Xi did not want to give up his studies too early.

She had heard that many students who played in bands eventually dropped out of school.

A band of five couldn't even scrape together a high school diploma.

“But Kita’s grades…” A look of worry appeared on Kita’s face as she glanced in Kita’s direction, “Have they gotten worse again?”

Hearing his mother's words, Kita looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refute them.

However, Bai Qiu's lips curled into a slight smile.

Looking at Kita's mother, Bai Qiu asked softly:

"So, if I can guarantee that Kita's grades won't drop, then I'll agree to let Kita continue playing in the band, right?"

"Hmm...?" Kiku looked puzzled and asked curiously, "How can you guarantee that Yuuki's grades won't drop?"

“I can tutor Kita.”

Bai Qiu smiled as she looked at Xi Jiuliudai, her eyes serious and confident.

"Although it might sound a bit immodest to say that, my grades are pretty good. I also have some insights into learning methods and techniques."

"So if I were to teach Kita, I believe that Kita's grades would not only not decline, but would actually improve."

Bai Qiu patted his chest and assured him, as if he could already see the day when Xi Duo got into university.

Kita Ikuyo then echoed excitedly.

"Mom, Bai Qiujun didn't lie to you. His grades are excellent. He was first in the school in the last exam!"

Xi Shuliu Dai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Truly outstanding people are outstanding in every aspect!

It can satisfy Kita's pursuit of dreams while also ensuring Kita's academic performance.

Then she really had nothing left to worry about.

Although Kita's life path was planned by Kita's assistant, there were significant deviations in its actual execution.

She also dotes on her daughter.

The demands placed on Kita remained mostly verbal.

Then they let Kita do whatever he wanted, otherwise Kita wouldn't be able to go out and play everywhere.

The reason why I was so resistant to Kita playing in a band was because I was worried that Kita would be deceived.

After all, Kita's allowance is indeed being spent faster and faster.

After considering it, Xi Shuliu nodded and gave Bai Qiu a relieved smile: "Then we entrust our Yu Dai to you."

It sounds weird, though.

But since Kita's mother had already agreed.

Bai Qiu felt that she shouldn't worry about these details.

"Leave it to me, I'll take responsibility for Kita!"

Refers to safety and performance.

Kita jumped up excitedly and rushed to her mother, shouting, "Thank you, Mom!"

Xi Shuo Liu Dai wanted to understand Bai Qiu better.

Also, to exchange writing experiences with Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu was then kept at Xijia's house until dinner was served, and only left after dinner.

During this time, he also met Kita's father, who, like Kita, always had a cheerful smile on his face.

After saying goodbye to the Kita family, Kita Ikuyo was instructed by her mother to see Hakushu off.
