Although the band meeting was awkward at the beginning, with Aiyin and Su Shi paying attention to the atmosphere, the awkward silence would not last long.
Aiyin, who was more used to leading the conversation, raised her hand like a good student and said, "Yes! I think our band's first original song should be safe and not make the arrangement too complicated."
Although Aine's request and reasons were reasonable, among the people present, only Deng would believe Aine's statement. Aine's words were almost like saying "We are very new, so please write the score simply."
After the morning practice, Li Xi realized that Qing and Aine's level was indeed not up to the task, but in other words, the levels of the others were actually okay, so her idea was to simplify the rhythm guitar part.
As for the lead guitar, Li Xi looked at Lenai and asked, "Stray Cat, what suggestions do you have for your part in our band's original song?"
Unexpectedly, Le Nai said in a shocking tone: "Well? You can play it when the time comes."
"Huh?"
Li Xi was stunned by Lenai's answer, and then she asked again to confirm, "What do you mean? How about the arrangement?"
Le Nai tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Li Xi asked such a question, because in her opinion her answer was very ordinary.
At this time, Qing started to explain for Le Nai: "Le Nai meant that her part of the guitar can be improvised at any time. Next is my suggestion. If you, Rikki, care about the integrity of the arrangement, you can actually let Le Nai improvise first, and then record her performance as her part."
Lixi looked at Qing with a complicated expression. She felt that Qing was like a translation machine. He often explained Deng's words before, and now there was another Le Nai.
With the experience of the translation lamp, Li Xi also believed Qing's explanation of Le Na's words. Then he thought about it carefully and it seemed that he could indeed do as Qing suggested.
Li Xi also learned some characteristics of Le Nai from the joint practice in the morning. First, his technique is very strong, and second, his style is very free and he likes to add embellishments. These characteristics lead to Le Nai occasionally not following the music score, but even if he does not follow the music score, the music he plays will not be bad, and in most cases, it will be very interesting. This is probably the so-called spirituality.
So Li Xi nodded and looked at Lenai across from him and said, "After the band meeting, you and I will go to RING. I want to confirm the arrangement of your part."
Before Le Nai could speak, Qing proposed a different opinion: "There's no need to be so anxious to decide, right? Don't we have a rehearsal tomorrow? It's not too late to talk about it then. And if I'm not mistaken, you should have been working on an arrangement of "If You Can Shine", are you going to put it aside and work on the arrangement of the original song?"
In fact, Qing Hui said this not for Lenai. Although Lixi did have the suspicion of kidnapping his teammates, if it was Lenai and she didn't want to be kidnapped, Lixi couldn't do anything to her.
What Qing is worried about is that Lixi will be too anxious and keep putting pressure on himself, so Qing needs to remind Lixi not to be anxious all the time. In addition, he also needs to help Lixi relieve stress as much as possible.
So Qing immediately continued: "There are still many things to discuss, right? For example, the style of the song and the mood. What was your first impression after seeing the lyrics of Deng?"
When Su Shi heard that she was going to talk about how she felt after reading Deng's lyrics, in order to avoid going against Deng's thoughts when asked, she questioned: "But isn't Deng, the lyricist, right here? Do we still need to go far away?"
After listening to Qing and Su Shi's words, Li Xi's attention was also drawn to them. She nodded in agreement with Su Shi's words, but when she looked at Deng and wanted to ask something, she was so nervous for some reason that she couldn't speak.
It was Aiyin who spoke up for Lixi and asked, "Deng Deng, what are your thoughts?"
Deng thought for a long time, and then answered unconfidently: "I don't know... I don't know much about arranging music... The lyrics written above are my inner thoughts."
Everyone fell silent after hearing Deng's answer, while Qing spread his hands as if to say, "I'll tell you."
Aiyin picked up the lyrics written by Deng and read them carefully again. Then, as if she had discovered something, she suddenly asked Deng: "Deng Deng, I found that the lyrics you wrote seem like two people are talking to each other. Is that right?"
Deng nodded without hesitation this time to show that it was true. Seeing Deng agree with her, Aine couldn't help but curl up a smug arc at the corner of her mouth, and then she confidently said her thoughts: "In this case, in order to create the feeling of a conversation between two people, it really needs two lead singers, right?"
"what?"
Li Xi looked at Ain speechlessly, as if she already knew what Ain was going to say next.
"Actually, when I was in junior high school, I once performed as the lead guitarist at a school festival, and the response was pretty good!"
Aiyin spoke of her past glorious deeds in a meaningful way, and combined with what she said in her previous sentence, everyone knew that she wanted to recommend herself.
The student council performance of Aiyin in junior high school was something Qing had always wanted to know. How could Aiyin, who was so poor at this level, be able to perform successfully? This was simply unbelievable.
Some people also say that it is two masters protecting a clown. Aiyin also has reason to say that. What kind of teammates are my two teammates, one is a drummer and the other is a bassist. If I don’t carry the guitar and lead singer, who will carry?
Su Shi couldn't handle the unreliable ideas of this stinky pink-haired girl who opened a dyeing factory with three colors, and Aine's desire to show off all the time made Su Shi feel that she was a little childish. So Su Shi tactfully expressed her resistance and said: "Double lead singer? I feel that this is a bit..."
"What do you think of this idea?"
Aine knew that if she could take down Sushi and Riki, there would be no problem, so she asked Deng for his opinion. On the other hand, if Deng rejected Aine's idea, it would mean that Aine's idea was not reliable at all, and Aine would not insist on it.
Deng knew that Aine had always wanted to be the lead singer and had the ability to do so, but she had taken the initiative to give up the lead singer position to Deng, and Deng was also looking forward to Aine responding to his voice when he sang "Mu Lu Ya", so Deng smiled for the first time, nodded seriously, and said to Aine: "Then... little Aine should sing along too!"
"Really? That's great!"
Aine was so excited that she stood up slightly, leaned forward and pressed her hands on the table, as if she was going to pick up the lamp at any time to express her joy.
Seeing that Deng had already agreed, Li Xi shut up. Although it seemed unreliable to give the responsibility of dual vocals to Ain, it was still feasible to let Ain be the guitar vocalist. What she needed to consider next was how to arrange the song for dual vocals.
Although Su Shi also felt that the idea of two lead singers was unreliable, she didn't care much about the original song. She was more annoyed by Aine's smug look. Su Shi looked at Qing who was sitting opposite her. At this point, Qing was the only one who could control Aine.
Su Shi kicked Qing's leg lightly, and then when Qing looked over, he gave Qing a helpless look, as if to say, are you just going to let Aine's unreliable ideas run wild?
In fact, Su Shi didn't have much hope that Qing would come out to hold Aine back. After all, in Su Shi's opinion, the relationship between Ai and Qing was almost like they were wearing the same skirt, so it was normal for Qing to let Aine do whatever she wanted.
Qing was somewhat surprised that Su Shi would remind him about the original song. In fact, Qing had not intended to agree with the idea of having two lead singers for Aine. After all, the correct answer was in Qing's mind, so he naturally would not let the band take the risk.
So Qing gently pulled Ain's sleeve, signaling Ain to calm down. Ain looked at Qing with some doubts, and saw Qing looking at her with a gentle expression, and then shook his head slightly.
Aine was stunned for a moment, then Qing turned to look at Deng and said, "Actually, my idea is that we don't need to change it to dual lead vocals. We can change the order of the lyrics and change the lyrics that respond to Deng to harmony."
Li Xi's eyes lit up when she heard Qing's suggestion. If it was Hesheng, she would be more familiar with it, and it would be much more reliable than putting her hopes on Aine.
The original lyrics of the song "Deng" are indeed quite suitable for dual vocals. The lyrics of dual vocals are basically you sing a line and then I sing a line in response. But if it is changed to harmony, the harmony can respond immediately after the lead singer finishes singing a line, without having to wait until the end of a line. So if it is changed to harmony, the order of the lyrics must also be changed.
Li Xi was obviously moved by Qing's idea. She looked at Deng and asked, "Deng, what do you think of this idea?"
Deng felt a little confused. She actually didn't quite understand the difference between the two and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Aiyin was not angry because Qing did not follow her ideas. Qing's situation was like a lamp. If even Qing did not agree with her proposal, it meant that her proposal was really not feasible, or Qing had a better way. So Aiyin was already considering the benefits of Qing's proposal.
Qing gave her explanation at this time: "If you choose to change the lyrics of the response part to harmony, the harmony will respond to you immediately after you sing a line, so the song will have a stronger sense of dialogue. And another advantage of using harmony is that everyone can sing together. Deng should actually want everyone to respond to your singing together, right?"
It is well known that Bandoli's girl bands basically have one characteristic, that is, everyone can sing. This situation of everyone singing together is very common in the songs of senior bands as well as in Lost Son's original songs, so it is easier for people to accept.
Deng imagined a scene where everyone would respond to him after he sang a line of lyrics, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Although "Haruhi Kage" also has harmony, and everyone sings together, it lacks the interactive feeling of dialogue compared to "Mu Lu Shi". So Deng is looking forward to the scene in "Mu Lu Shi" where everyone responds to his singing together.
"I want to try..."
As she said that, Deng looked at Aine as if she suddenly remembered something, and wanted to explain worriedly, "Aine, I didn't..."
Aiyin smiled and waved her hands, saying, "It's okay, Deng Deng. I also think Qingqing's idea is great! I'm not that obsessed with being a lead singer!"
Ain's open-mindedness made Deng feel relieved. Riki and Sushi were also surprised that Ain gave up her idea of dual vocals so easily. Could they not see whether Ain was obsessed with being the lead singer? There was no doubt that Ain wanted to be the lead singer, but now she gave up the opportunity to be the lead singer so easily.
Rikki was impressed by Aiyin because she gave up her own idea for the sake of the overall situation. Sushi thought it was Qing's credit because it was Qing who raised the objection, so Aiyin gave up her original idea easily.
However, Su Shi was also somewhat surprised that Qing would respond to her. That's right, Su Shi thought Qing held Aine because she reminded her. After all, why didn't Qing say it earlier or later, but only said it after Su Shi kicked Qing?
"In that case, if everyone has no objection, let's rewrite the lyrics according to this idea... Le Nai, do you have anything to say?"
Qing Jian Aine didn't make any trouble. Although he had known about Sheng Aine's temperament for a long time, he felt relieved in his heart, and then turned the conversation to Le Na who had not participated in the conversation.
"Anyway is fine."
Lenai said casually. Although she had already recognized the identity of the band members, she still had no interest in participating in the discussion of this kind of band meeting. She just wanted to play the guitar and have fun!
So the three people sitting next to the lamp began to revise the lyrics. For a while, the three people on Qing's side had nothing to do, and Le Nai fell asleep directly on the table. Qing was not surprised by this. As long as Le Nai was not playing the guitar, it was normal for him to run away or sleep. This matter was also recorded in the Lost Child Collection.
Su Shi looked up and saw Le Nai sleeping on the table, and couldn't help but remind her: "Little Le Nai, it's easy to catch a cold if you fall asleep like this. The weather isn't hot yet... Really, little Aine, can you please cover her with this coat?"
As she said that, Sushi took out a coat from her bag and handed it to Aine who was sitting next to Le Na. Qing said that Sushi was the only one wearing short sleeves at the scene. Qing thought Sushi was not afraid of the cold, but it turned out that she had a coat in her bag. But speaking of it, Sushi was very involved in the job of a cat owner...
Then Qing and Aine would be left with nothing to do, but since it was just these two people, they naturally had plenty of ways to pass the time.
“Aine, hand.”
Ao leaned in close to Aine's ear and whispered, as if she didn't want anyone else to hear what she was about to say.
Aiyin lowered her head and saw Qing's hand stretched out towards her, her face couldn't help but blush. She secretly glanced at the three people opposite who were busy revising the lyrics, and thought: We are obviously right across from each other, Qingqing is too impatient!
This is different from the previous dates. There are acquaintances around here. If they see me and Ao being intimate, I don’t know how they will view me and Ao... But I have done intimate things in front of them before, but compared to holding hands, it’s nothing.
Although she thought so, Aiyin still gave her hand to Qing obediently. Most of the time today, Aiyin and Qing just interacted like ordinary bandmates, and Aiyin also suppressed a lot of desire to stick with Qing.
But what Aiyin didn't expect was that after Qing took her hand, he turned her hand over, exposing her white palm. For some reason, Aiyin felt a little shy when she saw Qing staring at her palm.
But then Aine couldn't be shy anymore, because Qing put the fingers of both hands on her palms and started to massage them rhythmically.
"Hiss!~"
Aiyin felt a slight pain in certain parts of her palms as Qing pressed harder, which made her gasp.
Qing probably heard Aiyin's gasp, so he raised his head and kept pressing rhythmically while asking, "How is it? Is this strength okay?"
Perhaps she had gotten used to the feeling of continuous pressure, and soon Aiyin felt the pain was much less. She looked up and asked, "Qingqing, what are you doing?"
Qing said as a matter of course: "Can't you see that? I'm giving you a hand massage. Aiyin, you practiced guitar all morning, your hands must be tired, right?"
The hand massage skill was not something Qing knew naturally, but was revealed by the system. Just now, she saw that Aine's hands might be uncomfortable, so she activated this skill when she helped her carry the camera. Although it was only at the entry-level level, this basic hand massage was no problem at all.
“Oh…oh, is that so?”
Instantly, Aiyin felt ashamed for having mistakenly thought that Qing wanted to hold her hand. It turned out that Qing wanted to give her a massage. It seemed that she was the one who was impatient.
At the same time, she felt a little disappointed that Qing didn't want to hold her hand, but then she thought about how Qing considerately noticed that her hands were tired and gave her a massage. This feeling of being cared for instantly dispelled that little bit of disappointment.
Qing looked down at Ain's hand again. She needed to make sure she didn't press the wrong acupoints. She encouraged Ain softly, "Ain has worked hard. Not only this morning, but she must have practiced for a long time yesterday, right? She works so hard for the band. Ain is really amazing."
After receiving such direct praise from Qing, Aiyin felt a little embarrassed to be proud of herself. Instead, she felt a little at a loss and said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment."
“That’s very cute, Aine… Can I increase the intensity?”
Qing's gentle voice suddenly changed the subject, causing Aine's originally shy expression to froze. Before Aine could react, Qing had already begun to increase the strength of his hands.
"Mmm~ It hurts! Ah, moan~"
Aiyin made a strange sound because of the sudden severe pain in her hand, which caused the three people sitting opposite to look up at Aiqing and the others.
Seeing Aine's painful expression, Deng leaned forward and asked with concern: "Aine, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Li Xi opened her mouth slightly in surprise, as if she wanted to complain but was too embarrassed to speak. However, her expression seemed to be asking, "No way, sister, are you going to do such a big thing?"
Su Shi smiled gently and covered Deng's eyes with her hands, comforting Deng: "It's okay, Xiao Aiyin is just playing with Xiao Qing, Xiao Deng should change the lyrics quickly."
After Su Shi finished speaking, he kicked Qing's leg hard. Qing felt that the kick was much stronger than before. She glanced at Su Shi helplessly, then turned her gaze back to her and continued massaging while explaining: "I'm just massaging Aine's hands. Aine must have practiced too much in the past two days, so she will feel particularly painful if I use a little force."
Then Qing warned Aiyin: "The reason why you feel so much pain is because your hands have accumulated too much fatigue. Your hands are not used to such high-intensity practice yet. If you continue like this, you will easily get tendonitis. Don't practice guitar after you go home today. Pay attention to rest when you practice next time, and do some finger relaxation exercises when you rest."
Aiyin turned her head slightly to glance at Rikki who was sitting diagonally opposite her and said, "But if I don't practice, Rikki will be angry, right?"
Li Xi, who was cueed, proudly folded his arms, turned his head away and closed his eyes and said: "Even if it was me, I wouldn't want my teammates to get injured during practice... I didn't expect you to work so hard. Although it's still far from enough, I will recognize your efforts for the time being. Remember to rest."
Although Li Xi thinks that hard work is a must, it does not mean that she will not recognize the efforts of others. She did not expect that Ai Yin, who was usually careless, would practice to the point of injury, which made her look at Ai Yin with new eyes again. As for the truthfulness of Qing's words, Li Xi never doubted that Qing would talk nonsense about such things.
Su Shi smiled at Li Xi with interest and said, "It's really rare for Li Xi to say something like this. It's really amazing that Ain can be recognized by Li Xi."
“Ahahaha…hiss!~”
Before Aiyin could proudly accept Su Shi's compliment, she was hurt again by Qing's sudden increase in strength.
Aiyin puffed up her face and glared at Qing, muttering: "Qingqing is so mean! I just wanted to accept the compliment!"
Aiyin has not forgotten that Qing once said some bad things to her about Su Shi. At that time, Aiyin thought Qing was jealous, and it seems to be the same now. It is obvious that she and Su Shi are just ordinary band teammates.
Ao pretended not to hear Aine’s words and continued, “We are going to discuss the design of the performance costumes later. Let’s study this after we go back today and let our hands rest. Oh, and just in case, let me see your right hand later.”
After Qing's professional explanation, everyone accepted the hand massage setting, and no one had any doubts even though Aiyin would let out some strange hums from time to time.
As for a certain cat, she was wrapped in a scented quilt and had fallen asleep peacefully.

Chapter 97: Make mistakes, be soft-hearted, and feed.
As time went by, the lyrics of the second version of "Mu Lu Ya" were revised, and Qing had already massaged both of Aine's hands. I thought Aine's right hand would be in better condition, but unexpectedly, the situation seemed not optimistic. Logically, Aine should not be at the stage of learning fingerstyle techniques yet.
Qing asked curiously: "Aine, have you started practicing your right hand? I feel that the muscles in your right hand are also very stiff, and the redness is so severe, and the degree of strain on your wrist is also very high."
When Aiyin heard Qing's words, it was as if the secret in her heart was revealed. She immediately lowered her head to avoid Qing's sight. Through her falling cherry pink hair, she could see her ears, which were already red on both sides. Although she was a Mayday girl, her head seemed to be steaming.
"Ahahaha... Well, that's not the case. After all, my right hand is my dominant hand. It's normal to use it when doing other things..."
Aiyin lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito. As her voice was so soft, only Qing could hear Aiyin's answer.
Qing didn't know what was going on with Aine, why she suddenly became like the light before, but since Aine knew her situation, she would just give her a little reminder.
"Then you have to pay attention to that, and you can also massage each other with your hands at ordinary times. I will teach you later... If the camera still has power, it would be great. I can record it and let you do it according to the video."
Qing kneaded Aiyin's hand while giving her earnest advice, just like a doctor who gives you an injection while giving you medical instructions to distract you.
"Thank you, Qingqing..."
Aiyin looked up at Qing and thanked him. But she only looked at him for a moment, and when she saw Qing concentrating on massaging her, she lowered her head again.
"I didn't expect it to have reached the point of strain... I really shouldn't have done this!"
Aiyin lowered her head and murmured quietly, so quietly that even Qing couldn't hear it.
Feeling the increasing strength of Qing on her hand, recalling Qing's serious expression and gentle words just now, and thinking of the mistakes she had made to Qing when Qing didn't know, Aiyin now wanted to learn from Qing before and loudly confess "I am guilty". To be honest, the damage to her right hand can be regarded as a punishment for herself.
