I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Qing patted Aiyin's back to calm her down, and complained, "Why do I feel like you're getting less and less intelligent? How come you can choke even when drinking tea?"

After Aiyin calmed down for a few seconds, she retorted unhappily, "Why am I not smart? I told you that I will definitely get good marks in this test. Then you will know whether I am smart or not."

"It has nothing to do with your grades. I just simply think that your behavior is not very smart." Qing said mercilessly.

Aiyin felt that her image had been affected, and thought about how to redeem herself. She rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Speaking of the test, Qingqing and Dengdeng, what do you think of this test? Are you confident that you can do well?"

Deng thought for a moment and said, "It should be OK. There will be no problem passing it."

However, Qing was just drinking tea and didn't answer the question. Seeing this, Aine couldn't help but let out a playful smile and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, did Qingqing not do well in this quiz? Or did Qingqing look reliable during the evaluation, but is actually a fool?"

Qing had no way to refute Aiyin's teasing. No matter how hard he tried to talk now, his words would seem so pale when the results came out. So Qing could only helplessly explain, "I just didn't review much."

Qing said this without intending to let Aiyin believe it, but what she said was really the truth. Although Qing was not a top student, she was at least not a poor student. It was just that Qing had not come into contact with these high school knowledge for ten years, so it was not wrong to say that she had not reviewed for too long.

As expected, Aiyin showed an expression of seeing through everything, patted Qing's shoulder comfortingly, and said: "It's okay, I'm good at studying! If Qingqing is worried about failing a course, you can always come to me for help. As long as you call me teacher, I will teach you everything!"

Qing looked at Aiyin who was looking proud and wanted to ask her, "I call you teacher, can you teach me spoken English?"

But she still refrained from doing so. After all, Aine was her single pusher, so how could she possibly expose her scars just to see her get humiliated?

----------

I was not in a good state at night. I lay down for a while after writing half of it. When I got up, I saw a life-and-death game of the S game. At first, I wrote while listening to the commentary. Later, the game was too intense and I wanted to finish watching it first. As a result, there was a pause when the game was almost over.

It ended up being so late.

32 Opportunity, invitation, insight

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and as the teacher asked the students to hand in their test papers, it also announced the end of the last class before the holiday, and the students all went into holiday mode. Except for the students on duty, no one wanted to stay in this classroom where they had been doing test papers for a day.

After packing her schoolbag, Aiyin poked Deng's back with her finger and asked, "Deng Deng, are you going to the Astronomy Department first?"

Deng turned around and nodded "yeah" in response. Aine glanced at Qing who was sitting next to Deng and had packed her bag and was watching her and Deng talking. After confirming that Qing was listening to them, she put her hands together and apologized to Deng, "I'm sorry Deng Deng, can you please go to the Astronomy Club alone today? I have something I want to do with Qingqing."

Qing looked at Aine with some surprise, and then she noticed the gaze that Deng was looking at her. Although Aine hadn't told her about this beforehand, Qing still nodded to Deng.

Seeing Qing's cooperation, Aiyin added a few words at the right time: "It shouldn't take a lot of time. Let's contact each other on Line later. If we finish first, we will come to the Astronomy Department to find you. Actually, I wanted to ask you to come with me, but if you go to the Astronomy Department, there may be a conflict in time."

Deng was relieved to hear that he was not going to be abandoned, and asked curiously, "What is it about?"

Qing was also very curious about this, so she silently watched what kind of answer Ain would give. Ain said, "It's about the band. I will explain it to Deng later. We are in a hurry now. If we don't hurry up, we might miss it."

Seeing Aine's somewhat anxious look, Deng stopped wanting to ask more questions and nodded, saying, "Okay, then, good luck to you guys!"

Then Aine gave Qing a look to catch up with her, and stood up and left the classroom. Qing naturally followed closely behind her, walked up to Aine and asked, "What's going on? I haven't heard that you have such a plan."

Aine said as she walked, "Because I thought of it when I had nothing to do after checking the test papers during the quiz, so I didn't have the time to tell you and Deng before."

Qing looked at Ain, who was pretending to be a top student, in silence, but Ain obviously didn't notice the pressure her words brought to Qing, and continued to answer Qing's questions: "Didn't we talk last night about how Su Shi might bring in people from Crychic and the negative effects that would bring, so I was wondering if there was any way to prevent this from happening or prevent the negative effects that would come. Then I thought of a way."

As she said this, Aiyin puffed out her regretful chest with some pride, and Qing also cooperated and acted as a supporting role, asking: "What is the solution?"

Aiyin smiled and said, "It's very simple, as long as we find new members before Su Shi. In that case, if the person Su Shi finds has the same position as the new member we find, we will have a reason to reject the person Su Shi finds; even if the position is different, the new member we find will be ours, which can effectively reduce the influence of the crychic group."

After listening to Aine's explanation, Qing had a bad feeling for some reason, but he had to admit that what Aine said was true. The only question was, is it really that easy to find new members?

So Qing directly expressed his doubts: "Didn't we just say yesterday that it's difficult to recruit people with our current configuration? Where are you going to find new members, Aiyin?"

Aiyin answered as they walked, "Qingqing, do you remember when you took me to visit the club building when we first met? At that time, we heard someone playing the piano in the orchestra room, and we are going to find that person now. I have asked around, and that person basically comes to the orchestra to play the piano after school every day, but he doesn't play for long, so we have to hurry."

Well, now Qing already knew why he had a bad feeling. It turns out that the new member that Aine was looking for was Xiangzi. Aren’t you still inviting people from crychic when you keep inviting them?

Although Qing had never confirmed it with his own eyes, he was sure that the person who played the piano in the orchestra after school every day was Xiangzi.

If Aine invited Xiangzi, even if we put aside the grudge between Xiangzi and Su Deng, it would be impossible for Aine to invite Xiangzi to join Anon Tokyo. The reason is that An Tokyo does not seem to be a place where she can make a lot of money, and if Xiangzi wants to join a band now, it must be a commercial band.

So Qing could only prepare for the failure of Aiyin's invitation and asked, "But will someone who plays the piano so well really be willing to join us? Our playing ability is far inferior to that classmate's, right?"

Aiyin confidently stated her plan and replied, "Of course I have considered this. Because she has strong abilities, we can give her enough freedom. For example, she can voluntarily participate in the regular band meetings. We only need to send her the music scores after deciding what songs to play, and then call her over for performances or recordings. In this way, she won't need to spend too much time and energy to join our band. After we have worked together for a long time and she has developed feelings for our band, we can always welcome her to participate in all our band activities like other members."

Aine's idea is very good. Even if the new member is already in another band, she can consider joining this band with a high degree of freedom.

However, this method does not apply to Xiangzi for two reasons. First, Xiangzi still cannot make money by playing in a band like this; second, it is impossible for Xiangzi to join a band with Su Shi and Deng.

It's just that Qing couldn't tell Aine these two reasons, so Qing could only go with Aine to hit the wall this time and let Xiangzi personally make Aine give up.

Fortunately, Deng had something to do and did not come with them, otherwise Xiangzi would probably have said "I wish you happiness" the moment he saw Deng.

Wait a minute, it seems quite awkward for me to meet Xiangzi now. Qing suddenly remembered what happened to Xiangzi and his daughter last night, and realized that he couldn't stay out of it.

But before Qing could figure out how to respond, she and Aine heard the sound of piano coming from the wind band.

The song Xiang played today is "The Girl with Flaxen Hair".

Aine pushed open the door of the wind band and saw the performer she was looking for. At this moment, the girl with blue shawl and twin ponytails sat in front of the grand piano, her eyes closed, immersed in the piano performance, her nimble fingers dancing lightly on the keys, and the elegant and beautiful notes she played, the girl at this moment exuded a dignified and elegant temperament of a lady, which made Aine stunned.

Qing was not as fascinated as Ain, but she was impressed that the current Xiangzi and the customer service Xiaoxiang she met last night really gave people a completely different feeling. However, Qing did not remind Ain that we are not here to see beautiful women. After all, even if she reminded Ain, Ain would not interrupt Xiangzi's performance and say that she wanted to invite her. That would be too rude.

So Ai Qing and Xiangzi waited until Xiangzi finished playing a song, and they both clapped their hands to show their appreciation for Xiangzi's performance. Xiangzi heard the clapping and looked at the two of them. When she saw Qing, she subconsciously opened her eyes wide, and the question in her heart almost came out: "You are..."

Qing quickly stepped forward and interrupted Xiangzi to introduce: "I am Yanagisawa Qing from Class A of the first year, and this is Chihaya Aine from Class A of the first year. Please give me your guidance."

Aiyin looked at Qing who suddenly walked in front of her with some surprise. She didn't expect Qing to take the initiative to introduce himself.

Xiangzi actually knew Qing's name last night, and when Qing introduced herself as if they were meeting for the first time, she immediately realized what was going on. It seemed that Qing didn't want her schoolmates to know what happened last night, which was exactly what Xiangzi wanted, so she cooperated and said, "I'm Xiangzi Toyokawa from Class B of the first year. I wonder what brings you here?"

Because Qing's self-introduction emphasized their class but did not emphasize that Aiqing and the other two were members of the brass band, Xiangzi also knew that they were not members of the brass band, so they came here for other reasons.

Aiyin was surprised by Xiangzi's honorifics and idioms, but she finally focused on the business. She walked up to Xiangzi and said sincerely, "We were attracted by your performance. In fact, I thought you played the piano very well earlier."

In the face of praise, Xiangzi was also willing to show a certain degree of friendliness. Moreover, she knew that Qing was someone who could become Deng's friend. Although she had never seen this pink-haired girl before, she should not be a bad person when she was with Qing.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi closed the piano and thanked him warmly, "Thank you for your compliment."

Seeing that Xiangzi had let down his guard and treated her in a friendly manner, Aiyin took the opportunity to tell her the purpose of coming here: "Excuse me, can you join our band?"

"Eh?" When Xiangzi heard the word "band", his hand that was closing the piano paused, and he turned to look at Aine who said this and Qing who finally stood behind Aine after introducing himself.

Aiyin placed her hands on her lower abdomen and said a little stiffly: "I'm sorry to be so presumptuous to say this suddenly, but I think your performance level is very strong. I really hope you can join our band. We will give you the greatest freedom. Just practice the songs we send you and come to the livehouse for recording and performances."

"Your band..." Xiangzi glanced at Qing, who was standing behind Aiyin with an expressionless face, and asked after closing the piano, "Please allow me to ask, what is the composition of your band?"

Aine was a little overjoyed when she saw Xiangzi asking the question, thinking that the other party was interested in their band, but she suppressed her excitement and answered, "Qing and I are both guitarists, and there is also a lead singer from our class A. There is a member outside the school who is a bassist, and if Xiangzi is willing to come, he will be the keyboardist."

Hearing that there was another lead singer from Class A, Xiangzi subconsciously turned around and clasped her hands together nervously. She wanted to know if the lead singer was Deng, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she could only make a curious expression and asked, "Is the lead singer also from your class? Why didn't she come with you?"

Qing naturally understood clearly what Xiangzi really wanted to ask, because she had long known that Aiyin's invitation this time was doomed to fail, so she was too lazy to continue watching the two of them arguing, and stepped forward and said: "She is our friend, and she is going to the astronomy club now, so she didn't come."

Qing's friends + the Astronomy Club, this is enough for Xiangzi to lock on to the fact that the lead singer of the Love Music Band is Deng. She lowered her head, and memories of the past band and Deng flooded her mind.

Did Deng also put down crychic and continue to move forward? That's great... But, in this case, the relationship between Deng and me will never go back to the way it was. If these two people are the ones who can guide Deng forward on my behalf, then I will never have a chance to redeem myself.

No, don't talk about redemption! Toyokawa Shoko can no longer redeem anyone, and if she continues to tangle with Deng and the people of Crychic, she will only drag them all down. Shoko shook her head gently, struggling with herself in her mind.

She looked like she was seriously considering whether to join the band, so Aiyin had been silently waiting for Xiangzi's answer. But when Aiyin saw Xiangzi shaking his head slightly, she couldn't help herself and asked, "How about it, do you want to join us? We can discuss any requirements."

When Xiangzi heard Aiyin's question, he suppressed his inner emotions, smiled politely and refused: "No, I have other things to do."

After saying that, Xiangzi picked up his schoolbag and nodded to the two of them, and kindly reminded them, "It will be time for the wind band activities soon, so you two should leave here early."

Maybe it was Xiangzi's thoughtful look just now that made Aiyin think that she still had a chance. She wanted to chase after him and continue to increase the stakes, but at this time Qing grabbed her hand and said, "Forget it, there is no need for us to force others."

Aiyin looked at Qing's serious expression, and stopped chasing after him. She nodded and said, "Okay. Actually, it doesn't matter if we can't invite anyone. I'm not that afraid of Crychic joining us."

Qing nodded and said, "If you don't have any other candidates for new members, let's go find Deng."

Qing wanted to release Ain's hand, but Ain grabbed it instead. Qing looked at Ain in confusion. Ain didn't have a smile on her face at this time. She stared at Qing silently for two seconds, then asked, "Did you know Xiangzi before?"

Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "She was seen through. We only met once. In fact, she didn't even tell me her name at that time."

Aine grabbed Qing's hand and tightened it a little. She asked with a concerned look on her face, "Did anything happen between you two? Is everything okay?"

Qing gently placed his other hand on Aine's hand that was holding hers and whispered, "It's okay, trust me."

In her heart, she was amazed at Aine's intuition and observation skills. She could actually notice this. Fortunately, on the surface, there weren't too many complicated emotional entanglements between her and Xiangzi (referring to her relationship with the members of crychic), so there was nothing wrong with saying this.

Seeing what Qing said, Aiyin chose to believe it, smiled and responded to Qing, then took back the hand that was holding Qing. Then she picked up her phone and saw that there was a new message from Anon Tokyo.

[Su Shi: Can you come to RING after school this afternoon?]

[Su Shi: I found a new member and need to meet everyone.]

----------

I didn’t expect that the “You and I will become stars” incident would happen just after I finished writing about white pufferfish.

And that author also writes books on Maoke. I’m already starting to get scared.

But to be honest, I am quite curious about which book it is. It can't be a fan fiction of Bang, right?

Mainly putting aside the controversial points and his explosive response, his writing is also not good, it is too ooc, and the plot doesn't have much content to speak of.

I just found out that besides spaces, angle brackets will also be blocked. For line messages, just use [square brackets]. Refresh the page and there are two line messages from Sushi.

33 Induction, activity, purpose

At Tsukinomori Girls' School, before Su Shi sent a message to the band group chat, she first made an appointment with someone to meet, and then sent a message to Li Xi. Only after confirming that Li Xi would participate in their band meeting today did she send a message to the group chat.

Su Shi came to a pavilion in the Tsuki no Mori garden and waited for the person she had an appointment with to arrive. That person was Wakaba Mutsu, who was also a freshman in Tsuki no Mori like Su Shi and had also served as the rhythm guitarist for Crychic.

At this time, Ruoye Mu also came to the pavilion where Su Shi was without saying a word. Although Su Shi was secretly looking at the message on her mobile phone just now, she immediately noticed Mu when he arrived.

"Sorry, I want to talk to you about something before the club activity. Please sit down and talk." Su Shi immediately put away his phone and asked Mu to sit down in a gentle voice.

"Yeah." Although Mu nodded in response to Su Shi, she had no intention of sitting down.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for two seconds. Seeing that Mu was adamant, Su Shi had no choice but to start the topic of today. She slightly restrained the smile on her face, looked at Mu seriously, and asked in a concerned tone: "Did Xiaoxiang contact you?"

Mu shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart. As expected, Su Shi came to her for Xiangzi's matter.

"I see." Su Shi looked away and said as if he was thinking, "I thought you would be able to get her to reply since we grew up together."

Yes, before today, Su Shi asked Mu to contact Xiangzi. As for why she asked Mu, it was of course because Xiangzi's situation was the same as Deng's. No matter how much she sent messages, she got no reply.

Su Shi stood up from her seat and walked to the outside of the pavilion. She looked at the scenery in the garden with a look of concern and worry on her face. She said to herself, "Where would Xiaoxiang be now? I wonder if she is doing well."

After saying that, she looked at Mu calmly, and Mu lowered his head unconsciously when he heard Su Shi muttering to himself.

Seeing Mu's expression, Su Shi instantly understood that Mu must know where Xiangzi was and how he was doing. Maybe Mu could actually contact Xiangzi, but for some reason Mu was unwilling to tell her about Xiangzi. Although Mu always had a blank expression on her face and her emotional fluctuations were difficult to detect, Su Shi, as one of the few people who had always been with Mu, could still see some of Mu's thoughts at a glance.

Su Shi expected Mu to respond to her question, but Mu just kept his head down and said nothing. She could only sigh, then raised her head and continued to sigh to herself as if she was reminiscing about the past: "That day, when Xiaoxiang proposed to quit the band, I should have talked to her more."

Mu finally reacted to Su Shi's words, but she still didn't answer Su Shi's words, but just buried her head lower with some guilt. On that rainy day, Su Shi was the only one who wanted to have a good chat with Xiangzi. Su Shi hoped that Mu could help her persuade Xiangzi, but Mu said the words that ended crychic completely. Therefore, Mu always felt guilty about Su Shi, which is why she is always willing to help Su Shi and be her messenger.

Although Su Shi looked up at the sky, she had actually been paying attention to Mu's situation. She pretended to have just realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly ran over to give Mu a comforting hug, apologizing, "Sorry, Xiao Mu! It's not Xiao Mu's fault."

After completing this series of actions, Su Shi thought that Mu would be more inclined to agree to her request next, so she told him another purpose for asking Mu out today.

"However, I met Deng yesterday, and Deng is planning to play in a band again. I have contacted Lixi before, and she also hopes to continue playing in a band with us. We have agreed to go to RING to talk about this after the club activities. Would you like to come with us?" Su Shi let go of the hand that was hugging Mu, but still put her hands on Mu's shoulders, looked at Mu with a sincere smile and invited him.

In fact, although what Su Shi said was true, there was a mystery hidden in it. For example, she only mentioned Deng and Li Xi throughout the whole process, but did not mention that they were in a band with Aine and Qing; for example, Deng did plan to play in a band again, but in fact, it was not just a plan, but he had already formed a band.

And some of the references are not made clear, for example, when she said "I contacted Li Xi before", she didn't make it clear how long ago this "before" was. Did she have this idea when she contacted Li Xi a long time ago, or did she have this idea when she contacted Li Xi after meeting Deng yesterday? Also, does the "we" in "she also hopes to continue playing in the band with us" include Mu, does it refer to Su Shi and Deng, or does it include Qing and Aine, or everyone in crychic.

Mu was also very surprised by Su Shi's highly suggestive words. She opened her mouth and looked a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that there were so many people who supported Su Shi to revive Crychic. This made her a little worried because she knew that Crychic could not be resurrected.

Su Shi looked at the surprised Mu quietly, feeling very satisfied. If she said that, Mu would probably agree to go to RING with her. But after Mu came to his senses, he avoided Su Shi's sight and said, "I have ballet class today."

Su Shijianmu didn't give the answer she wanted. Although she was very unhappy, she couldn't find any reason to refute. However, she didn't show her dissatisfaction on her face. She could only give a kind answer: "Is that so? You have to practice dancing. It's okay. You can go back to the way you were before. Leave it to me."

As she spoke, Su Shi thought about the breakthrough progress she had made in her plan to resurrect Crychic. The unhappiness in her heart was mostly gone, and she showed the most sincere smile in this conversation and looked at Mu, indicating that she could rest assured.

But is the situation really that good?

After seeing Mu off, Su Shi also went to the wind band to participate in club activities. During the period, although she did not make any mistakes in her performance due to her high proficiency, she was actually always thinking about resurrecting Crychic.

We still don't know Xiangzi's situation, which is the most troublesome problem. Before we know Xiangzi's news, we have to find a way to delay the activities of the new band. Otherwise, if we pull everyone in but Xiangzi is the only one missing, it will be tantamount to betraying Xiangzi. Even if we can't stop the band's activities, at least we can't let the band's activities succeed.

As for how to get the news about Xiangzi, it really has to start from Mu. It is better to say that apart from Mu, Su Shi has no other channels to learn about Xiangzi's current situation. The current situation does not allow her to investigate slowly. It would be bad if Deng feels a sense of belonging to the new band before investigating Xiangzi's news. Deng's relationship with the two girls is a bit too good. So Mu must tell Xiangzi's situation as soon as possible. If Mu still refuses to tell where Xiangzi is...

When Su Shi thought of this, her eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light. The trumpeter opposite Su Shi shuddered, wondering what she had done wrong that made Su Shi look at her like this.

Su Shi didn't realize that her gaze made their ensemble a little more tense, and she continued to think about what she needed to solve.

The new band already has two guitarists, and adding another guitarist and a keyboardist probably wouldn't be easy. Not to mention Aine and Qing, even Lixi probably wouldn't agree with such a band configuration.

Therefore, we had to find a way to get those two people to quit the band.

Thinking of this, Su Shi's eyes became dangerous again, like a serial killer who was thinking about his methods of committing crimes. This made the trumpeter on the other side breathless, and the ensemble had to be interrupted.

The trumpeter quickly apologized to the people around him, and even walked up to Su Shi and politely asked her what was wrong with her playing. Su Shi didn't understand why, but smiled as usual to comfort the other party, but the trumpeter suddenly felt that Su Shi's smile was a little scary.
