As a veteran of Group C, I want to destroy mygo!

At that time, Li Xi, who was surprised and happy, couldn't help but feel her chest heaving with joy. She looked at Kamiya Yu with an oppressive expression. She believed that the sound of her drum at that moment was powerful enough to conquer him.

However, contrary to the reaction she expected, after listening to her unbridled and powerful drum beats, the other party actually clapped and praised her from the bottom of his heart along with Takamatsu Deng?

Although at least eight of his ten compliments were simply flattering Xiangzi, he actually did not respond to her obvious hostility with equal hostility. Instead, he waited until the band members dispersed to practice in different areas, then after a moment of deep thought, he came to her side and said as if to deliberately make friends:

"As a bandmate, can you teach me how to play drums, Lixi?"

"Huh?!" Shiina Riki frowned on the spot. She couldn't understand why the other party made this move, and she was disgusted by the other party calling her by her name: "Who knows you so well?!"

However, even though he was treated badly again and again, Kamiya Yu did not show any impatience. Instead, he still looked very patient and said softly, "Because we are in the same band."

He looked directly at the impatient Li Xi and spoke each word sincerely: "Even if you don't like me now, since I have become a member of this band, I hope we can get along well. Even if it's not possible now, it will always be possible in the future."

"As long as Crychic exists, we will meet each other every day. Since this fact cannot be changed, why don't we try to get to know each other, Lixi? Do you want to hate me until you are old?"

Hearing this, Shiina Riki immediately raised his eyebrows and subconsciously retorted: "Huh? It's not like I'll ever meet you again in my whole life!"

Kamiya Yu shook his head slightly, and for the first time since they met, he spoke to Li Xi in a confrontational manner: "Maybe?"

As he said this, he turned his head and looked towards where Toyokawa Shoko was.

When he looked at her, Xiangzi was caught off guard and had no time to hide her concern. She was always paying attention to the situation here. If Lixi was about to hit someone, she would come over to stop the fight immediately. She was looking at this side with concern. Immediately, with a slightly red face, she quickly walked to the side of Deng, pretending that she was chatting with Deng and knew nothing about this side.

"...Ha, you're so bold." Shiina Riki's face darkened. Are these two people still serious about the band? The band is not a place for couples to flirt!

Angry and disgusted, Li Xi finally said coldly: "Hedgehog ｛;4 fold∽⌒Purchasing agent ※｜：⒐〔"０【☆⒋⒏＇"⒋￡⒉＿'⒐０⒌Okay, if you really dare, then come on?"

Did he think that showing weakness and saying he wanted to become her student would calm her down? What a joke! She was originally worried that she had no way to deal with this man, but now that he dared to come and die, she had no choice but to be kind and help him!

They are all learning to play drums under her, so how could she not give them a little more intensity?

The man in front of him seemed to have no idea what kind of hell he was about to face. He smiled and said, "Then please give me your guidance, Mr. Lixi?"

"……Ah."

That day, it was already dark enough that not only Su Shi, Mu, Deng, but even Toyokawa Shoko, had to leave the practice room and go home because of tutoring issues because it was too late. In the end, the only ones left were the two people who were playing the drums intensively.

At that time, Yu Kamiya did not have his own drum set. The drum sounds coming from the practice room came from two different people who took turns beating on the same drum set. Li Xi demonstrated and explained in person first, then he stood up and stepped aside, and Yu Kamiya took over, clumsily beating according to Li Xi's demonstration and explanation.

Although she hated this man, Shiina Riki always took a serious attitude when it came to music, and would never let her personal likes and dislikes tarnish the beautiful drum set. Since she agreed to teach, she was really teaching seriously.

However, when faced with an incompetent newcomer, while teaching him, he would be so angry at the large number of mistakes that he would start to scold him intensively, which was helpless, right? This was a reasonable behavior that even Xiangzi could not find an excuse to stop.

Long before she started teaching, Lixi had already thought about how she would let Kamiya Yu, that bastard who looked down on the band, experience firsthand what it felt like to be so violent as a drummer!

But, with the night falling that day, even though Toyokawa Shoko was no longer in the way and stayed to take sides and favor her man...all of Shiina Rikki's original plans were still surprisingly only in the planning stage, and disappeared completely from then on.

Volume 21: Chapter 21 . Li Xi: I am here to quit Crychic

"Really are……"

At the beginning, Shiina Riki really scolded him. After all, for her, the noise made by Kamiya Yu when he first started playing the drums was completely unbearable, and she was not a professional teacher at all, so naturally she didn't have that much patience.

But Li Xi could never have imagined that those first few sentences would be her last words?

No one would not be shocked to the point of being dumbfounded after seeing the speed of Kamiya Yu's progress... Even though he himself didn't know what his performance represented, Li Xi, after being shocked to the point of being numb, could easily understand that Kamiya Yu's results after only one day of practice were almost catching up with her level after one month.

Although talented people will make particularly significant progress in the early stages, which is much more dazzling than later on, no matter what, Kamiya Yu's situation is really too outrageous.

With this kind of talent, let alone her, Shiina Riki, even a professional like Xiangzi would inevitably be left far behind by the opponent in the end. This is a completely foreseeable future.

“…This band isn’t for you.”

Facing the moonlight coming in from the window, Li Xi, with his brows lowered, seemed to have no other thoughts at all. The only thing left at this moment was a kind of unwillingness mixed with bitterness and sorrow. Perhaps it was not even unwillingness, but could only be called frustration.

Even when facing her sister Maki, Xiangzi, and the two geniuses, Lixi had never felt the frustration of not being able to catch up. Her eyes were blank at the moment, and she could no longer find the stubbornness and strength she had always had. She just leaned against the wall decadently, muttering blankly: "This band is not suitable for you..."

Hearing this, Kamiya Yuu, who was rubbing his wrist that was sore from the high intensity of the training, was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"We won't be able to catch up with you."

At this moment, Li Xi's voice was as low as that of Gao Song Deng, who made her very unhappy. With a unique sense of fragility lingering around her, she smiled bitterly and murmured: "One day, one month... Then what are my three years worth?"

Her fragile whisper was so soft that Kamiya Yuu couldn't hear it clearly. He simply moved closer and only then heard Li Xi's words:

"First it was Deng, then me, Su Shi, Mu, and finally Xiangzi... Everyone will be left behind by you. This band is simply a mess..."

But even after hearing this, Kamiya Yu still asked again: "Why?"

His question, which seemed to be asked knowingly, stunned Lixi at first. After a moment, she suddenly felt a surge of infinite anger from all parts of her body. She turned around and grabbed Kamiya You's collar with her drumming hands. Her voice was trembling and she gritted her teeth. Her pupils on her face showed an almost cannibalistic look.

"Why? What why? There are so many whys? Don't you know? Didn't I already tell you?!"

"Ah, yes, I admit, I was wrong! I was wrong! Are you satisfied?"

"I underestimated you, I misjudged you. You are a genius, a genius! I am the trash! I am the garbage dump!!"

"Are you satisfied? You bastard!!"

Li Xi, who was breathing rapidly and out of control, clenched her fists, but she didn't do anything really out of line after all. The unwilling fists only expressed her disappointment and despair in herself. Although she was shouting, her voice was getting smaller and smaller except for the first roar.

It's terrible!

Be it that she misjudged the genius, or that he turned into a clown, or that it was San who was clearly responsible for teaching, but the other party was sad, disappointed and upset because of someone else's talent, all of this was her fault, and none of this was Kamiya Yu's problem. It was her preconceived ideas that led to these embarrassments!

but--

For such a talented person, the first thing he did when he joined the team was to learn to play the drums.

What band needs two drum kits?

"…It's not that you are not suitable for this band, it's me! I'm not good enough, I'm the one who will be kicked out by you, I'm not worthy of staying in the band!" Shiina Riki could not remember the last time she cried, but she never thought that she would show such an embarrassing scene in front of a man she had only known for one day.

However, this self-destructive crying tone was like a signal of a flood. She clearly wanted to stop it, but the harder she tried to stop it, the more she couldn't do it. Tears suddenly dripped uncontrollably, even though she had no intention of crying from the beginning.

Li Xi sniffed, raised his hands and tried to wipe away his tears, but no matter how hard he tried, they couldn't be wiped away completely, and new tears always fell from his eyes.

The one who should leave the band was never Kamiya Yu, but her, it was her, Shiina Tatsuki, it was her, the Shiina Tatsuki who could not keep up with the geniuses!

Maybe one day Kamiya Yu will improve to surpass Toyokawa Shoko and the others and go to a higher stage alone, but at least now, at this moment, the first person to be eliminated and replaced by this man is her, Shiina Tatsuki!

Li Xi sobbed uncomfortably. Even though she was dissatisfied with Gao Songdeng and did not have deep feelings for Xiangzi and Su Shi, she was really ready to devote herself to the band and treat Crychic as her own band when she joined the band. But everything ended before it even started? And in such a cowardly way?

"why?"

However, just when Li Xi was about to give up completely, the next second, a sentence that made him furious appeared for the third time.

Li Xi, with tearful eyes, froze in her tracks. She put down her hand and looked at Kamiya Yu again in a trance.

Just when she was about to lose control and really wanted to take action against this rubbish genius who repeatedly showed off in front of her and took advantage of her misfortune, Kamiya Yu's words made Li Xi's eyes widen in confusion:

“Why must one of me and Lixi leave Crychic, or must both of us be unsuitable for this band?”

"What are you talking about and why..." Li Xi couldn't understand what he wanted to say.

Fortunately, Kamiya Yu finally didn't let her guess the riddle, nor did he let her wait too long, and he just said slowly:

"Even if I will be great in the future, why do I have to leave here? Li Xi, you are so great, but you don't despise Deng who can't even sing?"

"Who said I didn't dislike her, wuuu..." Li Xi retorted with tears in her eyes and shook her head. Immersed in the questions raised by Kamiya Yu, she actually succeeded in stopping her tears and no longer looked ugly.

And it was at this moment that her eyes widened in surprise, as if she had thought of something. All of a sudden, she finally understood what Kamiya Yu meant.

Volume 22: Chapter 22. This band can either have you or me!

"I learned keyboard from Xiangzi."

Looking at Li Xi who was crying, although he had been treated rudely by this person before, Kamiya Yuu did not have the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to retaliate. He just pointed at himself with a wry smile, with a look of discomfort on his face that was not understood:

"It's not that I want to replace you as the drummer. I just want to learn all the instruments in the band. I chose the drums first because I really want to build a good relationship with you. I just didn't expect..."

"So what?" Li Xi choked up, "It's all over. This band doesn't need me at all!"

She knew it wasn't Kamiya Yu's fault, Kamiya Yu did nothing wrong at all, but she just couldn't help it, she just couldn't help feeling sad.

After hearing her sincere words of self-abasement, Kamiya Yuu was neither happy nor tried to comfort her. Instead, he was at a loss for a moment and had a slight headache. Soon, his eyes became sharp. After evaluating Shiina Riki's personality, he came up with a feasible approach and immediately offered a terrible threat:

"If you say something like that again, I'll go to your doorstep and play drums every day. How about that?"

"——" Li Xi's sobbing stopped abruptly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She really couldn't understand why someone would choose to use this method to try to convince her?

Facing her incredulous look, Kamiya Yu seized this rare moment of normal communication, raised his fingers, and counted them one by one.

"Crychic is a six-member band, and that's something that will never change."

"Shoko, me, you, Nagasaki Suyo, Wakaba Mutsu, and Takamatsu Touma."

“This is a band called Crychic.”

"I'm not leaving, and neither can you. There's nothing wrong with any of us not being a good fit for this band!"

His words were so decisive that Lixi couldn't help but be moved. Even though the band had only been established for three days, and she and Kamiya Yu had only known each other for the first day, hearing that someone recognized her and her band like this, no matter how cold-hearted she was, she would be moved.

But, at the same time, Li Xi was also confused: "Why are you so concerned about Crychic?"

"Because this is Xiangzi's band." Kamiya Yu replied as a matter of course.

Hearing this, Lixi's heart, which was so moved, almost stopped beating. She thought that this guy really liked Crychic so much that he swore to protect her on the first day of joining the team, but it turned out that it was just a by-product.

Because Toyokawa Shoko has feelings for the band she formed, so this guy who seems to have a close relationship with Shoko is just in love with her?!

Li Xi, angry!

“Bands and music are not for flirting!”

After hearing her full-throated condemnation, Kamiya Yu was stunned for a moment, a thoughtful look flashed across his face, and then he nodded and said insincerely: "You are right, how about this, you play the drums for me more often in the future, and try to make me really fall in love with music? Then maybe I will abandon Xiangzi and make the band my top priority, which is in line with your idea, right?"

"Huh? Why would I have to do this—"

The words of rejection had just reached her throat when Lixi couldn't help but swallow them back. She looked straight at the man in front of her. This time, she reacted quickly and understood, and fell silent.

After all, Shiina Riki has never been a fool.

Seeing her silence, Kamiya Yu laughed in a very tasteless way: "Haha!"

He understood that since Lixi didn't refuse immediately, it proved that she still had feelings for Crychic and didn't intend to quit the team in such a cowardly way. Isn't it worth being happy about such a thing?

"Try it?"

While smiling, he once again offered a perfect excuse: "I won't tell anyone about what happened tonight, including Xiangzi."

Li Xi was too embarrassed to answer this question. It was not until this moment that her clear mind made her realize how embarrassing the thing she had just done was. Even without a mirror to look at herself, Li Xi could imagine how embarrassing her face looked now.

She paused, turned around, and faced Kamiya Yu for a long while before she said in a muffled voice, "...We'll continue tomorrow."

Kamiya Yuqiang gritted his teeth and tried to stop laughing. If Xiangzi was forced to lose a team member on the first day of joining the team, he would not be able to forgive himself. Fortunately, it did not develop to that point. This Shiina Riki is actually quite nice, right? Although his attitude at the beginning of the morning did make him a little nervous, worried that they would not get along well.

But now it seems that there should be no problem.

Li Xi had his back to Kamiya Yu the whole time, packing his things carefully, until he put on his shoulder bag and walked to the door of the practice room. Just before he opened the door and walked out, he said the last words of the night without looking back:

"…The band is not a toy for you to please Toyokawa Shoko. Even if I won't leave the band because of its professional level, if you are thinking of using the band as a tool, one day, I will leave Crychic."

“How serious.” Kamiya Yu sighed helplessly, “I’ll do my best.”

Not knowing whether Li Xi heard his answer or not, he turned the door handle and left without closing the door.

Kamiya Yuu was left alone in what should have been the noisiest music practice room in the world. He looked up at the moon outside the window and murmured, "Band... Besides the girls you like, you can't be without friends, right?"

At the same time as he was sighing, a message from an account that he had set as a special concern suddenly appeared on his mobile phone. Kamiya Yu picked it up and took a look.

[Xiangbao: How are you getting along with Lixi? Don't quarrel. It's so late, and don't play the drums anymore. My hands will feel uncomfortable tomorrow (Kumamon emoticon)]

[You: It’s okay, I’ll surprise you tomorrow (with Kumamon’s emoticon pack)]

While typing a reply to Xiangzi, Kamiya Yuu reviewed the situation tonight and couldn't help but nodded: "Crychic, Shiina Riki... Xiangzi's choice is really good."

It really deserves to be called auspicious treasure!

Li Xi, who was peeping against the wall, heard the sigh coming from the practice room, and he couldn't help but look a little annoyed. He avoided people's eyes, grabbed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, and ran away quickly without anyone noticing.

……

……

ps: "Real teaching, I just want your reward"

Volume 23: Chapter 23. Xiangzi who doesn't know how to cherish, Lixi's feelings

"Li Xi? What's wrong? It's rare for you to be lazy in bed. Although you don't have to go to school today, don't you have to go to the band? Uwaaa... Why do you look so reluctant? No way? Is there anyone in the band formed by Xiangzi-chan who is capable of bullying Li Xi? Do you want me to settle the score with her?"

"Wait - there's no such thing! Don't mind your own business, it's nothing, I'll be up soon!"

No matter how much time has passed, Li Xi still doesn't know what kind of resistance or embarrassment appeared on her face the next day when she just woke up with slight tear marks and thought about going to the band. She was actually teased like that by her annoying sister. Was it really that obvious?

But... she couldn't deny that she had the shameful thought of retreating for the first time when she stepped out of the house. Although that guy had already told her that he would not spread it, she clearly didn't know whether that guy could be trusted or not.

If she was greeted with surprised and even mocking eyes from Xiangzi and the others when she arrived at the practice room, then even if she was Shiina Riki, there was absolutely no way she would remain indifferent!
