Aiyin quickly walked in front of Qing, looked at him with resentful eyes, and said angrily: "Hey, didn't I tell you to go back and rest if you were sick?"

Qing finally saw the person she had longed to see, and that person immediately walked up to her and showed concern for her after seeing her. The unspeakable emotions in her heart caused by that dream finally calmed down, and when she looked at Aine again, there were some subtle changes in her eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't read the message."

Qing lied in a calm tone. As Qing paid special attention to her, it was impossible for her not to notice the message sent by Aine, and she even clicked on it to read it, but she still wanted to tell a lie that would be exposed at the slightest touch.

Qing stared at Ain while talking, and Ain also noticed the tenderness and deep affection in Qing's eyes when he stared at her. Due to the lack of rest, illness, and the rush on the road, Qing's eyelids drooped subconsciously after relaxing, leaving only Ain's figure in his field of vision.

Qing's facial features were definitely exquisite and beautiful, but wearing a mask did not conceal her temperament and beauty, but instead highlighted her cold temperament like a flower from a mountain. In addition, the only thing that was revealed was the look in her eyes that was like drawing silk when she looked at Aine, which made Aine feel that Qing was now breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, Aiyin couldn't help but wonder, what does Qing mean by looking at me like this? Looking at me so straight, I feel a little shy.

But soon Aine remembered what happened yesterday and immediately suppressed some unnecessary emotions for friendship. Even so, after seeing the tenderness in Qing's eyes when he looked at her, Aine was still overjoyed in her heart.

"You obviously saw it. You read it all."

Hiding the thoughts that changed many times in her heart within a short period of time, Aine argued as usual.

Qing was unmoved, he just nodded, still staring at Ain, and said in a very firm tone: "I just saw it."

It was still such an obvious lie, but Qing was determined to deny Aine's statement even if he had to tell such a lie that could be seen through at a glance.

Aiyin curled her lips when she heard that. Although she knew Qing was talking nonsense, she was too lazy to ask any more questions and started asking serious questions: "Qingqing, how are you? Is it really okay for you to come to practice when you are sick?"

Qingye withdrew his gaze from looking deeply at Aine, glanced at the other people in the rehearsal room and said: "It's okay, my cold is very mild and it won't affect me at all. As long as you don't get too close to me, you shouldn't be infected."

Since Qing has said so, others will not say anything even if they still suspect that Qing is just trying to be brave. At most, they will persuade her to rest when they see that Qing is not in good condition.

Seeing that no one else had any objection to her words, Qing patted Aine's shoulder and walked to her practice position. Although Qing wanted to meet Aine very much just now, if she really met her, Qing would restrain herself from saying anything to Aine. Just watching her was enough.

He waved and greeted everyone as he passed by. When he came to the drummer's position, Qing stopped, looked at Li Xi, and asked: "Rikki, I was late today, but you didn't put pressure on me. It's really strange."

Qing noticed that Li Xi seemed a little too quiet today. Normally, even with Li Xi's personality, she would have complained if she knew Qing was sick. Moreover, after everyone arrived, Li Xi just watched her and Aine chatting without leading everyone to practice faster. This was completely different from the Li Xi that Qing remembered.

Li Xi glared at Qing and said angrily: "Don't talk like you know me very well!"

Although Li Xi talked back, he didn't seem angry. More importantly, Li Xi had completely lost his previous dominance, which made Qingdu doubt whether the Li Xi in front of him was the real Li Xi.

Qing turned to look at Aine and asked, "What did you do to Rikki when I was away? Why did she become like this?"

Of course, Aiyin could tell that Qing's question was meant to tease her. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "We didn't do anything. Could it be that those days have come?", as if she hadn't noticed that Li Xi's face was gradually turning red.

Qing shook his head and said, "I've only heard that those few days can make people irritable and angry, but I've never heard that they can make an irritable person become docile."

Seeing Aiqing and the other man teasing her in front of her, Lixi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hit the drum hard, staring at Qing and said viciously: "Do you think I won't scold patients? I think you really deserve to be punished!"

Just right! For some reason, Qing didn't feel scared when Li Xi got angry with her, but instead felt comfortable. This Li Xi, she had to breathe out!

However, Qing originally teased Li Xi to make her active. Now that his goal had been achieved, he stopped teasing her and put away his teasing eyes and asked Li Xi: "What are the arrangements for practice?"

Who knew that Qing's casual question would make Li Xi avoid Qing's sight, look at the jazz drums under him, and say with a voice a little less confident than usual: "I can do anything. I have already made the arrangement of "If You Can Shine", it depends on what you want to practice."

Something is wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong! Qing didn't have time to ask Li Xi if he had stayed up late again to change the song so quickly, Li Xi's answer was very problematic.

Qing originally wanted Lixi to arrange the next practice, but Lixi's answer was "I'm fine with anything", implying that she accepted Qing and the others' arrangements, and she would not arrange the practice.

If such an answer came from Su Shi, Qing would not feel any surprise, because Su Shi's personality is very easy to go with the flow, but Li Xi has a strong opinion. Moreover, in the field of music that she cares about very much, she should try her best to fight for the dominant right to speak, and should not take the initiative to show weakness and give up the dominant position.

So something must have happened to Li Xi to make her change so much. Qing originally thought that her biggest purpose in coming here was to prevent Ai Yin from having wild thoughts, but she didn't expect that Li Xi also had a problem, and it was a problem that she didn't know about.

Qing was not the only one who noticed that Lixi was abnormal. Deng and Su Shi also found that something was wrong with Lixi. However, they didn't know why Lixi had such a change, so they didn't know what to say.

Su Shi could only come forward and ask Li Xi with concern: "Little Li Xi, did you not get enough rest? You look very listless."

Compared to Li Xi in the past, Li Xi today, no, to be more precise, Li Xi after returning to the rehearsal room, really seemed to be listless. It was as if he was tired and didn't want to take care of things.

Li Xi shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Although Li Xi denied Su Shi's statement, Qing thought Su Shi's idea still made some sense. After all, judging from the speed of the arrangement, it was not difficult to guess that Li Xi must have stayed up late again yesterday. It was understandable that he didn't want to take care of things or even get angry because he was physically and mentally exhausted.

But Qing still felt that something was wrong. Would Li Xi really become a bad player just because he was tired? At least that's not the image given in the original animation. But Qing couldn't explore too much now, so he could only take the lead in arranging the practice and looked at everyone.

"Well, then you must have been practicing before I came here, right?"

Qing asked to confirm.

I thought it was just a routine question, but Qing's question made everyone silent. Only Le Nai, when no one else answered and met Qing's gaze, answered firmly, "Yes, I have practiced."

Qing felt that Le Na would not lie, but why was everyone silent just now? Puzzled, Qing turned to look at Ai Yin and gave her a confirming look.

"Ahaha, I guess I did practice... but only a little bit, and the effect wasn't very good."

Aine didn’t want to tell Ao that everyone was not able to concentrate on practicing because they were worried about Ao, so she could only give a somewhat general answer.

After hearing this, Qing glanced at Li Xi who was sitting quietly, and thought: Is it really because Li Xi is not in good condition and is too lazy to play the band? Otherwise, why would she only let everyone practice a little bit? And she didn't care if the effect was not good.

Qing never thought about how much her absence would affect the band's practice. In her opinion, she was just a lousy substitute. She was not in the band, but they were the original members of the Lost Band. She couldn't practice the same way as in the animation. The only one who might be affected was Aine, who might have some random thoughts.

She was thinking about these things quickly in her mind, but in reality, Qing did not slow down her arrangements. She arranged: "In this case, let's practice again and see the effect. It's normal that the joint practice effect is not good. The purpose is to find problems for everyone. Once the problems are found, they will be solved."

So everyone started practicing "Haruhi Kage" again. This time, with Qing joining in, Aine also found her form. There were no problems with the guitar part, and Deng could sing normally. What surprised Qing was that Li Xi's drums also had no problems, not even a small mistake, and she didn't look tired at all.

After the practice, everyone fell silent again. In the past, Lixi would give a summary to everyone and point out everyone's problems, but this time Lixi did not speak.

"Rikki?"

Aiyin called out to Lixi tentatively, trying to remind Lixi to comment on everyone.

Who knew that Li Xi didn't understand what Ain meant at all, he just looked at Ain in confusion and asked: "What's wrong?"

Qing frowned. Even Aiyin, who had known Lixi for a short time, noticed something wrong. Qing was more and more certain that something was wrong with Lixi, which made him look like a loser. She asked in a deep voice: "What happened to you?"

Li Xi clenched the drumstick in his hand, but recalling that Deng really started singing just after Qing came, and the singing was still so touching, he suddenly lost his mind and almost dropped the drumstick in his hand.

After quickly catching the drumstick, Li Xi raised his head and replied nonchalantly: "I'm fine."
