"If it was Xiao Xinxin, Wei Jun would definitely reply just now."
"If it was urgent news from someone else, Wei Jun wouldn't ignore it even in front of me."
"The only person I can guess who knows Wei-jun and would send so many non-urgent messages in a row is Su Shi."
"After all, Su Shi would really value the opportunity to reorganize Crychic with Wei Jun's help, right? He reassured me a few days ago that he would definitely reorganize Crychic."
Xian Juanwei laughed and said, "Xiao Mu is unexpectedly perceptive... But it's really gratifying that he's willing to tell me instead of keeping it in his heart."
Ruoye Mu also took out his mobile phone, lowered his head and said softly:
"Su Shi...didn't do anything wrong."
"However, even if you don't block her, it's still better to mute her."
"Next, I want to rest my voice... Could you, Wei-kun, accompany me to see a newly released movie starring Minami?"
Tips: There is only one chapter left today, which will be published later in the night.
Chapter 48 AnoFriends?
RiNG, inside the cafe.
When it was time for the shift change, Shiina Riki put the freshly cleaned dishes into the cupboard. After a while, he changed into a white coat and went downstairs to wait.
A few minutes later, the legendary mercenary Hachiman Kailing, who had just finished a live support, walked in from the side door carrying her bass.
"Aine and Touma haven't arrived yet?"
Li Xi shook his head: "No, today is Saturday... Although they said that they seemed to have something to do in class and needed to go to school... It's definitely not an excuse like being late for duty or oversleeping."
"Oh, I see." After saying that, Hai Ling picked up the phone again and typed quickly at the speed of plucking a string.
"It's only been a minute since the agreed time. No need to rush us, right?"
"No." Hai Ling lowered her head and typed while answering, "I'm responding to a band's invitation to support them."
"what?"
Lixi hash value +1
"Is your schedule already so busy?"
"After all, it's a rest day, so bands that are holding live shows want to grab as much attention as possible during these two days."
"...I say, am I taking up too much of your time with my affairs?"
As a hint of guilt appeared in Li Xi's eyes, the door of RiNG was hurriedly pushed open by a pink-haired man holding a lamp.
"Sorry sorry!"
Aine's breathless voice came.
"I'm sorry, Lixi, Hailing. On the way here with Deng, the road collapsed in front of the train. I had to run over because my dad got suspicious... Am I late?"
Li Xi touched his forehead and sighed: "Next time, at least tell the group what happened in advance."
"I'm sorry, Li Xi, Hai Ling." Compared to the breathless Aine, Deng, who was dragged all the way to the point of exhaustion, apologized with his last bit of strength.
"Ah, it doesn't matter. It's only one minute late. It's just time to wash your hands." Li Xi quickly put down his hands and stood at attention.
"Woo...Pfft." Hai Ling laughed subconsciously.
"Anyway, I'm supporting over 30 bands at the same time, so it's okay to turn down one to rehearse."
Hai Ling finally had time to answer Li Xi's question, "Did I delay you too much?"
Riki hurried forward, and he and Aine each dragged the almost exhausted lamp to the rehearsal room.
This was the first formal rehearsal between the band after they met offline a few days ago to confirm their intention to form a team.
Sitting on a lounge chair, next to Takamatsu Deng who was lying flat on his back catching his breath, Chihaya Aine opened a bottle of sports drink to replenish electrolytes and salt.
Aine couldn't help but glance at Hailing's back as she was plugging in the guitar.
Black leather jacket with red lining and gray leather skirt
You look so energetic!
Paired with Shanghai Ling's earrings, it's hard not to attract attention when walking on the street.
Aine's memories involuntarily fell on the day when the four of them first met. The process of confirming the intention to form a team was so smooth that it was like a dream.
However, with the centipede chain of Hailing→Lixi→Deng, as long as the fourth person is not too talented, it would be difficult for the team to fail to form.
The moment the store manager grabbed the light, it was a divine move. He immediately got the drummer and bassist on board…
"Have you rested well?" Hai Ling asked while holding Bess.
"Deng was panting so hard just now, let her rest a little longer." Li Xi half-knelt beside the lamp and looked at Aiyin with some resentment:
"Next time, just tell us in advance and gather later. Right now, I'm afraid the lights will take a long time to recover, and we won't save any time."
Aine clasped her hands together again: "Sorry, sorry!"
"So, since the lead singer seems to have to lie down for a while, we can't rehearse for the time being?" Hai Ling put down the bass.
"I'm afraid that's the case..." Li Xi worriedly brought Deng another bottle of sports drink.
"I'm sorry, I was trying too hard just now..."
Deng opened his eyes and gasped for breath with unevenness.
"Then, how about we determine other important matters first?" Hai Ling suggested.
"Important matter?" Li Liuxia Jiuwu? Baliu 405】Xi helped Deng unscrew the cap of the drink and handed it over.
"For example, the team name and upcoming performance arrangements..."
Aine raised her hand high: “Um, I have an issue with the team name!”
"Why not just use our group name? It sounds nice and easy to remember!"
"Group name? Are you talking about that group name?" Li Xi's bad memory was suddenly triggered, and he immediately said "Huh?"
"Please allow me to decline, Aine-san." Hailing nodded at Lixi, "This naming aesthetic is probably not suitable for a band."
“Eh? Why?” Aine protested, “What’s wrong with ‘Ano Friends’? It’s so catchy.”
"I'm sorry, but this name always reminds me of impolite phrases like Aine and her animal friends." Hailing was unmoved.
Riki also looked after the lights while turning back to glare at Aine. "And that group name is what Aine-san changed four times in a row before it became like this! I didn't agree to that."
"Well, really, you guys are missing out on a name that has the genes to become a huge hit!" Aine waved her drink bottle, protesting that no one understood her amazing aesthetic.
"Let's not talk about the band name for now. No one will care and there's no rush to choose one before we go on stage." Hai Ling patted the shoulder of the leather jacket.
"Compared to that, the latter is more important—when are you planning to go live?"
“Have a live?!” Aine was so surprised that she almost dropped the drink bottle in her hand. “But we haven’t even rehearsed once. Isn’t it too hasty and premature to think about a live now?”
"Ha..." Hai Ling sighed, but considering that the other party was indeed a newcomer in music, she didn't care too much.
"It's not about holding live shows. As a newly formed band, unless there are special reasons, the only way to gradually be remembered by the audience and accumulate a basic fan base is to participate in joint live shows first. Only then can we have the possibility of holding live shows on our own in the future."
“Is that so? Then it seems a bit too hasty…” Aine said weakly.
Hailing crossed her arms, her tone becoming more serious. "This is something that must be clarified, Aine-san."
"Let me be frank. Even a campus band should have the desire to participate in live performances. A band without clear short-term goals has no motivation to maintain practice or even its existence."
"Otherwise, there's really no need to buy or practice musical instruments. A few people can just go to karaoke and sing with a microphone when they have time. It's much more relaxing."
"Aine-san, I think the motivation behind leaving karaoke and joining a real band should be to have more people hear your music, to use music to gain attention on stage and earn a basic income. What do you think?"
The idea of "immediately setting a goal or time to participate in a live" makes Aiyin, who currently just wants to attract attention on campus by forming a band, feel very pressured, but Hailing's words "win the attention on the stage" deeply touched her heart.
"I understand... Then let's go check out the latest live schedule later." Aine compromised.
"Ah, but the schedule can't be too tight! Otherwise, if I don't practice enough and then perform... I'm afraid the performance will fail and I'll be afraid to perform on stage in the future."
Hai Ling nodded as a matter of course: "No problem, I just hope that when you form a band, you can at least set a clear goal. Otherwise, a band formed just for the sake of forming a band will not last long. It is better to disband early to save each other's time."
Chapter 49: I beat the sweetheart that fell from the sky? Is it true?
In the Wakaba family's viewing room, as the female character played by Minami rushed towards the camera and shouted "You devil", the movie left an open ending and the screen began to play the credits.
Xianjuan Wei, who hadn't watched a movie seriously for a long time, rubbed his face.
He didn't expect that the movie that Wakaba Mu invited him to watch, starring Minami, was a recently released horror film.
Generally speaking, if a girl is willing to go to this kind of movie with you, even if it is a terrible movie, she will act a little scared.
But Wakaba Mutsu just sat upright and watched the horror movie that lasted more than two hours, occasionally nodding calmly when Minami performed some high-energy shots.
It's like a film critic who only watches movies to sort out the story line.
"Wei-jun, aren't you afraid of ghosts at all?" Ruoye Mu turned his head to look at Xianjuan Wei, whose expression didn't change much throughout the whole process.
"Maybe it's because I've been with Kokoro for too long... My first thought was where the smiles on those ghosts' faces had gone, and by the time I realized what was happening, I wasn't scared anymore."
Xianjuan Wei stretched out his arms, looked at the credits on the screen and said:
"When you and Xiangzi left this afternoon, Chuhua told me that you, Xiaomu, also invited her to accompany Xiangzi?"
"Ah."
"Isn't this different from what we discussed at the beginning?"
"Wei Jun didn't say no."
Xian Juanwei looked at Ruoye Mu's eyes, which showed no trace of timidity, and smiled with his hand on his face.
Is Mutouren acting like a wooden man again?
Wakaba Mu winked at him again.
"...I don't think Xiaomu invited her because he missed Chuhua, right?"
"Ah."
"So, why?"
Wakaba Mu narrowed his eyes and recalled: "Although Xiang agreed, she cried very sadly today."
"Before, I didn't even know... what the consequences would be of all the excessive words you taught me, Weijun."
"If Xiang encounters another unexpected situation in the future..."
"If I open my mouth, I'll mess it up again."
"But Chuhua is different. He's good at talking. Maybe he can keep Xiang here."
Is this...right?
Does Chuhua really have such ability?
Xian Juanwei shook his head and smiled: "Didn't Xiao Mu play very well today?"
"That's not me. Wei-jun won't always be able to figure things out for me in advance."
"Hmm..." Xian Juanwei remained noncommittal - in an emergency that required him to react on the spot, he really had no other choice.
"It's okay." Ruoye Mu suddenly raised his arm and clenched his fist.
"What's okay?"
"I'll live on the first floor, Xianghe and Chuhua will stay on the second floor, and Weijun won't be discovered by them at night."
"??"
Xianjuan Wei once again felt what it was like to have a teammate who could occasionally deal fatal damage but did not turn off friendly fire.
"...What good things did Xiangzi do in her past life that made you all willing to do so much for her?"
"In this life."
----
Sunday morning, office.
Xiaoxiang, the former customer service representative, finally quit all the manual labor that required no technical skills, including delivering newspapers, doing housework, and doing customer service.
Although she didn't sleep well last night because of her mood swings due to being tortured by her childhood sweetheart Wakaba Mutsu, the quality of her sleep last night was still among the best she had experienced in the past year.
Xiaoxiang was like a night owl who always stayed up until after two o'clock in the morning, but suddenly went to bed at ten o'clock one day. He got up much earlier than usual the next day, but was full of energy and had no urge to stay in bed.
