I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Xiangzi suddenly became more and more powerful, and walked towards a position. Seeing this, Qing's lips slightly raised, and then he took the paper bowl of oden to the backstage to get the label sticker. When passing by a certain place, he accidentally spilled a little soup in the paper bowl on the ground. No one noticed that there was a puddle of soup on the ground, and Qing might not know it either.

When Qing appeared again with the label sticker, every step she took made the atmosphere in the wolf pack more tense. When Qing stopped in front of the lunch box area, the air around her seemed to condense into substance. Xiangzi, who decided to join the battle for the first time, also became nervous. She secretly watched the people around her who were eyeing the lunch box area.

The people in the wolf pack were anxiously waiting for Qing to put the half-price sticker on the lunch boxes they wanted to get at half price, and at the same time they were calculating the best route to grab the lunch boxes. Xiangzi was silently thinking about which lunch box Qing would put the sticker on next, and seeing that Qing acted exactly as she had told him before, Xiangzi felt relieved.

Finally, Qing finished pasting the stickers for the last half-price bento and left, but Xiangzi was the first to move, because she was prepared for Qing's next move and quickly took the lead. At the same time, her position and route were also excellent, almost the shortest distance to her target bento.

As for the target bento? Of course it was the Japanese pork chop rice with the today's recommendation logo. If the blonde girl's target was the today's recommendation logo, then wouldn't it be the same as defeating her if she took the bento?

However, before Xiangzi could open the champagne in advance and imagine grabbing the recommended pork chop rice bento first to face the blonde girl who looked down on him, a golden figure flew in front of him with a strange movement. Last time, he couldn't feel it when watching from the side, but when competing with the opponent in person, this feeling of despair of being easily surpassed by the opponent almost made Xiangzi deeply frustrated.

However, before the blonde girl could land firmly, she suddenly lost her balance and seemed to slip. Xiangzi noticed that there was a small pool of liquid under her feet. Fortunately, the blonde girl had excellent balance and hand-foot coordination, and she relied on a strange posture to stabilize her body and did not fall. However, she had wasted too much time after regaining control of her body, which made her lose the possibility of competing for the first half-price bento.

Xiangzi didn't have time to see what happened to the blonde girl. She was ahead of everyone else and undoubtedly grabbed the pork chop rice with the half-price bento label. Xiangzi turned around to check on the blonde girl, but saw the wolves rushing towards the bento area ferociously, and Xiangzi was so scared that he quickly gave up his seat.

Afterwards, when Xiangzi saw the blonde girl appear safely behind the wolf pack, Xiangzi was relieved and went to the cashier to pay. Fortunately, the other party was unlucky today, and there was a pool of liquid where she moved, which affected her movements. Otherwise, Xiangzi would not have the confidence to snatch the lunch box from the other party even though he knew all the information and had the upper hand.

After paying the bill, Xiangzi looked at the queue behind him. A blonde girl was holding a bento and staring at him with a fighting look in her eyes.

"I'll win next time."

Although the blonde girl knew that Xiangzi had inside information and only barely defeated her by luck, the wolf is a proud and aloof animal. She would not make excuses for her failure, but would only be more focused and work harder to win back.

Xiangzi couldn't help but become serious. He nodded heavily to the other party and then left the convenience store.

Qing watched Xiangzi leave the convenience store, and was happy for him for opening his heart further. She just wanted to see Xiangzi gradually let go of her boring self-esteem that was restraining him.

But Qing thought that Xiangzi would at least say hello to him before leaving. It seems that he was overthinking it, which made Qing feel a little lonely.

Chapter 91: Joint training, failure, new members.

A new day, unknowingly, the holiday has come to the day of the band's rehearsal, Qing also came to RING with his guitar. This time, there is no need to find someone in the cafe, Li Xi has already told everyone the location of the rehearsal room, just meet up in the rehearsal room.

Although Qing had reserved time in advance to come to the rehearsal room, she was still the last one in the band to arrive at the rehearsal room when she arrived.

"It seems like everyone is very active and arrived early."

Qing was not embarrassed because he was the last to arrive. Instead, he unpacked his guitar case, took out his guitar and greeted his teammates.

Aine was the first to respond to Qingdao: "After all, it's our first rehearsal as a band, so it's normal to be looking forward to it."

Su Shi was much calmer and replied with a smile: "We just arrived not long ago."

Li Xi's attitude was businesslike: "Since everyone is here, let's start practicing in advance."

Deng carefully greeted Qing in a low voice: "Xiaoqing, good morning..."

Qing nodded to Su Shi and Deng in turn, then looked at where everyone was standing, and finally stood in front of the drum set, making Deng the center of the five people and the number of people on both sides formed symmetry.

When it came to music, Li Xi unconsciously became the leader of the band. She looked at the guitarists standing on both sides and asked, "How is your practice going?"

Qing shrugged and said, "Come on, I've only been practicing guitar for a short time, how can you expect me to learn something in one day?"

Although Qing's attitude made Li Xi a little dissatisfied, what Qing said was the truth. Li Xi never expected Qing to be able to practice guitar in such a short time, so she turned to look at Ai Yin and asked: "What about you?"

Aiyin said honestly: "At the moment, I can't play the song properly."

Li Xi was stunned when she heard that. Although she didn't have high expectations for Aiyin's guitar skills when she knew that Aiyin couldn't read functional music, she didn't expect that Aiyin couldn't even play a single song.

"Play it first and see."

Li Xi said with a frown.

"Um, which part should I play?"

Aine asked somewhat angrily.

Li Xi was a little impatient, and said in an aggressive tone: "Of course it's the lead part. Do you expect that guy to play the lead?"

Of course, that guy was referring to Ao. The piano part of the original "Haruhi Kage" was very important, so the lead guitar part of the adapted double-guitar version was also the most important part of the song, which required a certain level of guitar skills to play. Ao, a novice, obviously couldn't play it, so Aine had to play the lead part.

Aiyin knew her own level, so she picked up the guitar tab and reluctantly started playing after Lixi gave her a rhythm. However, not only did the speed of the chord switching fail to keep up with the rhythm, she also often made mistakes in fingering.

Li Xi couldn't bear it anymore and stopped, but Ai Yin was too nervous to notice that Li Xi's rhythm had disappeared. She was still slowly switching chords. The muffled sound of the guitar due to incorrect fingering and the noise seemed particularly harsh in the rehearsal room where only she was playing.

"That's enough, stop it!"

Li Xi anxiously stopped Aine from playing, which scared Aine.

"You can't practice together like this. You need to at least practice your part until you can play it smoothly before you can participate in the practice."

As he said that, Li Xi looked at Qing fiercely again.

To be fair, the current Aine's guitar level has improved a lot compared to the same period in the original plot. Qing actually wanted to praise Aine's efforts, but Li Xi did not recognize Aine. This is also natural. Qing looks at progress, while Li Xi looks at strength.

Although he understood Li Xi's idea, it did not affect Qing's response to Li Xi, saying: "Since you are going to practice on your own, why do you still need to book a rehearsal room? Without guitars, you rhythm group probably can't practice together, right?"

In fact, there are many kinds of music that can be played very well with a rhythm group, but this definitely does not include "Haruhi Shadow". If you remove the sound of the two guitars from "Haruhi Shadow", you can't even hear the melody, and there is no point in practicing together.

So, if Qing and Aine can't participate in the joint practice today, there is no point in booking this rehearsal room. The only meaning is that Li Xi can supervise the two people practicing the piano, but this is like paying money to go to a cram school to listen to the content that the teacher has already taught at school. For Aine and Qing who also practice seriously at home, it is a pure waste of money.

Although Li Xi felt that Qing's doubts were not problematic, she also did not think it was a big deal that they could not practice together after booking a rehearsal room. She said unhappily: "What can we do? Who told you that your level can't keep up?"

Qing Jianlixi hadn't realized that she was wasting money yet, and was a little angry. He immediately retorted: "I mean, since you are all practicing on your own, why don't you just let us practice at home? Do you think you have too much money to burn? Or do you really want to meet Deng?"

"Uh, me?"

Deng, whose name was suddenly mentioned, looked at Qing with confusion, not understanding why Qing mentioned his name.

In fact, Qing's words were a bit of malicious speculation. Although Li Xi was looking forward to meeting Deng, she was not the kind of person who would fill up the band's schedule just to have more contact with Deng. The reason why she frequently booked rehearsal rooms was because she felt that more practice could improve the band's level.

As for the issue of wasting money mentioned by Qing, Lixi had never thought about this issue before, and she still doesn't think it is a big problem, so she has this attitude.

After hearing Qing's groundless speculation about him, Li Xi, who was already in a very irritable mood, became furious. He glared at Qing fiercely and retorted loudly: "You guy! Don't be so self-righteous! If your level was better, would I have so many opinions?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Aiyin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Stop talking, Qingqing, let's start practicing quickly."

Qing was unmoved. She looked straight at Li Xi, which made Li Xi a little nervous. She asked in a deep voice: "Are you choosing teammates? Then I will leave?"

"Qingqing!"

"do not go!"

"Okay, everyone calm down."

As soon as Qing said this, the atmosphere in the rehearsal room exploded. Aiyin, Deng, and Su Shi all spoke out to stop Qing's idea. Lixi also woke up instantly. She stared blankly at Qing, whose expression did not seem to be fake, and became a little scared for a moment.

Qing looked around at everyone and said, "I have always been calm and I know what I am doing. I am a substitute. Since Li Xi is not satisfied with me, I will be a substitute and find someone more suitable. Isn't this a reasonable thing to do?"

Qing's words seemed to make sense. Everyone was still thinking about it, but Aiyin had already walked in front of Qing and said earnestly: "No, Qingqing, you are irreplaceable. As the founder of the band, I will never allow Qingqing's position to be replaced!"

Deng also put aside his extra thoughts and shouted to Qing: "That's right, Xiaoqing must not leave."

Seeing Deng's firm attitude, Su Shi felt a little worried, but still said to Li Xi: "Little Li Xi, you were a little too harsh just now. You'd better apologize."

Although Su Shi hoped that Qing and Aine would have conflicts with the team so that she could isolate them from the band, it was not the right time yet. She had to wait until she found Xiangzi and contacted him. Otherwise, if the group was to fall apart now and Xiangzi didn't come to rescue them, Deng, who had suffered another setback, might not want to form a band again.

Li Xi was dumbfounded. She looked at Qing and wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to start. But Qing didn't wait for Li Xi to speak, and shook her head and said, "I'm not going to quit the band. I just won't participate in the joint practice for the time being. When my skills level improves, I will still participate in the joint practice and live. I have also mentioned these things in the previous band meeting, right?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Qing was not going to quit the band, and Qing did say something similar when he proposed a replacement, so although they were still worried, they were able to accept this statement quickly.

Aiyin asked, "But we haven't found anyone to replace Qingqing yet, right? So let's just practice normally first."

Whether Aiyin did it intentionally or unintentionally, when she said this, she put Qing in the starting position and the other talents she found were substitutes, firmly expressing her position.

Qing glanced at the door of the rehearsal room and replied, "Actually, I've found it, but I don't know if she will come."

When Su Shi heard that Qing had found a new member, even though it was just a substitute, she still felt a little overwhelmed. She pretended to be curious and asked, "Excuse me, who is Xiaoqing looking for?"

Qing replied: "You know this person and have heard her play. Her skills are excellent and she will definitely be the lead guitarist for our band."

Li Xi listened to Qing's description and remembered that Qing had mentioned before that she wanted to hire someone to be her guitar teacher. He suddenly understood something and asked, "Is the person you are talking about a stray cat?"

Aiyin asked in confusion: "Stray cat? Who is that?"

At this time, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open, and a white-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes walked into the rehearsal room with her guitar and speakers. Qing saw Le Nai coming, and thought that she came at the right time, so he smiled and greeted Le Nai: "Le Nai, you are here."

Aine also recognized Lena and said, "Are you the girl who invited us to the stage to perform that day?"

When Le Na heard Aine asking her a question, she tilted her head, then nodded, then looked at Qing and said, "I'm here."

When Qing asked Lixi for help, she just asked her to tell her senior who worked part-time to let Lenai go to find Qing. She didn't explain why Qing asked Lenai to come. But Lenai didn't care about that. She had her own unique understanding of the world.

Lenai walked to the drum set where Lixi was sitting, lowered his head and looked sideways at the music score. Before Lixi could react, he quickly swiped the score on the tablet. After roughly browsing it, he looked at everyone and asked, "Don't you want to start? Practice."

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Aiyin and Su Shi were both at a loss.

Seeing that no one responded, Le Nai started humming and playing the piano by herself, and actually played "Haruhi Shadow", which she had only seen once.

Compared to Qing and Aine's previous mediocre guitar skills, the gap was so big that the entire rehearsal room fell into silence.

Chapter 92 Mission, Nickname, Raising a Cat.

For Qing, the arrival of Lenai means the complete formation of Lost Sons, the beginning of a new chapter for the band, and it is something to be happy about. But for the other members of the band, it is not the case.

The current Aine is not as resistant to Lenai as in the original plot. On the one hand, she has a clear understanding of her own level, especially after trying to play the lead part of "Haruhi Shadow" at Riki's request, she understands more clearly that she is not yet able to meet the band's needs for lead guitar.

On the other hand, she knew Le Na in advance, and the current Le Na did not come uninvited like in the original plot, but was invited by Qing, and Aine also knew that Qing and Le Na had a good relationship, so even though Le Na replaced Qing's position and Aine still had some doubts in her heart, but generally Aine still accepted Le Na's arrival.

After all, this was Qing's painstaking effort. Even if Aine felt it was not worth it for Qing, it was a decision made by Qing himself and he executed it personally, so Aine still supported it.

Lixi had already been prepared by Qing, and she was even the only one who guessed the identity of the new member. She quickly accepted Lenai's arrival. What she was thinking about now was the future practice plan and the adjustment of the music score.

And Su Shi is even more anxious than in the original plot. The main reason is that Le Na was found by Qing, and Le Na's performance level is very strong, which can make up for the shortcomings of Aine and Qing.

Now in Su Shi's eyes, Qing is someone who can always find problems in the team and take action to solve them. Under her leadership, the band is moving forward steadily. If such a person is a teammate, it would be too reassuring, but the problem is that Su Shi wants to rebel!

From the beginning, the band was full of loopholes and Su Shi thought it could be easily broken and disintegrated. Now, the space for her to infiltrate and destroy is gradually reduced and even disappears. Su Shi is getting more and more anxious. Qing's plan must not be allowed to proceed smoothly, and Xiangzi's whereabouts must be found as soon as possible. She was originally hesitant about whether to use Mu completely, but now Su Shi has made up her mind. If she hesitates any longer, Crychic's resurrection will only exist in her fantasy forever.

Now, Su Shi also had to take action. She took a step forward to attract everyone's attention, and said to Le Nai in a low voice: "But Le Nai's skills are so good, why are you willing to join our band? There should be many people who invite Le Nai to form a band, right?"

When Le Nai heard Su Shi's words, she remembered those girls who had invited her to form a band because of her good guitar skills. Although her expression did not change much, her tone was ruthless and with a hint of disdain, she said: "They are all boring girls."

Then Le Nai turned to look at the lamp beside him, smiled cynically and said, "Interesting girl."

After saying that, Le Nai looked around at the people around him, and finally looked at Qing, and finally said: "And Qing."

These three sentences translated mean that the other bands that invited her were all boring girls, and Le Nai was not interested in their bands, but Le Nai thought Deng was an interesting girl, and all of them were quite interesting. The last reason she was willing to come here was because of Qing.

Qing was very surprised that she was one of the reasons why Lenai came here. After all, she felt that she was not as important as Deng, and she did not always talk about her whole life. Although she said that she could be Lenai's temporary home when she first met Lenai, this did not actually meet Lenai's expectation of finding a lifelong home.

What Qing didn't know was that after meeting their band and returning home, Lenai told her grandmother about the band. Lenai's grandmother commented that "a lifetime is not something that can be easily said", and then Lenai talked about Qing's cautious attitude towards a lifetime, and the plans and efforts she made to improve her ability to resist risks in order to take a lifetime as her goal.

Lenai's grandmother actually agreed with Qing's approach, so Lenai became more interested in Qing.

Perhaps Le Nai's explanation was a bit confusing, and everyone else looked at Le Nai with confusion. Seeing this, Qing came out and explained: "I invited Le Nai to be the guitar teacher for me and Aine, but considering the situation of our band, I think it's okay to just let Le Nai join us. For the time being, she can be the lead guitarist."

Aiyin asked with some concern: "What about you, Qingqing? You will improve your guitar skills, right? How will you and Lenai share the positions then?"

Li Xi came out to help out: "Three guitars is not a problem, right? Although it would be very challenging to arrange the music if we want to make full use of the three guitars, but conservatively speaking, it is also very easy to achieve the same effect as two guitars."

Li Xi's perspective on the problem is different from Aine's. Li Xi considers that with Qing and Aine's guitar skills, it will take a long time for them to take on the responsibility of lead guitar, and it is very likely that they will not be able to make it to the Live next month. So Li Xi's current idea is to add a combat force to deal with the current difficulties first.

What she said was not without reason. There are bands with three guitars. Even if they cannot produce the effect of three guitars, it is easy to use three guitars to produce the effect of two guitars. The problem now is that Qing and Aine cannot even produce the effect of one guitar.

Besides, Li Xi is the arranger of the band, and the difficulty of arranging three guitars also puts pressure on herself, which is what she is best at. So considering the needs of the band, Li Xi is inclined to let Mao Mao join the band.

Qing nodded, then took out a harmonica and said, "We can use three guitars to perform. We can reduce the number of my guitars and insert harmonicas in some places. In short, we should solve the current problems first and then coordinate later."

Aiyin asked in surprise: "Qingqing, you can also play the harmonica, I didn't know that before."

Qing explained to Aiyin first, then looked at Le Nai and said, "After all, the harmonica is not an instrument used in regular band performances. I thought it would not be used before, so I never mentioned it... How about Le Nai, do you want to join our band?"

Le Nai put her index finger on her lower lip and asked, "Aren't you going to start practicing yet?"

Qing nodded and explained to Lenai seriously: "We have to find out your wishes first. If you join our band, you can play guitar during our band practice and participate in Live and play guitar in front of everyone, but we require you to participate in band activities without other things. If you agree, we can start practicing."

Qing must make it clear that Lena will join the band. Before the original work "Shichao Kizuna", Lena had always been in a state of being on and off the band. The fundamental reason for this was, on the one hand, Lena's cat-like free personality, and on the other hand, it was because the band at that time was becoming boring, which made Lena not want to participate in joint practice.

So Qing made it clear now that he wanted to restrain Lenai's stray cat side and let her skip the band's practice as little as possible in the future. In addition, he was telling everyone that Lenai was a member of the band, and they would not give up on her even if Lenai was absent and there were problems in the future.

Le Nai narrowed her eyes slightly as if she was thinking about something, then opened them as if she had thought of something, and it felt like her pair of heterochromatic pupils were sparkling. She said, "Matcha parfait, matcha pudding, matcha cake."

Su Shi tilted his head and left a drop of sweat in silence, then smiled politely and asked: "What is that?"

Le Nai turned to look at Su Shi who was asking him a question, and continued with what he had said: "If I can keep treating you, I will come."

When Qing heard what Lenai said, she immediately turned to look at Su Shi. Aiyin was stunned for a moment, and then also turned her gaze to Su Shi. Li Xi saw that Aiqing and both looked at Su Shi, and didn't understand why they suddenly focused their attention on Su Shi, and looked at Su Shi in confusion.
