Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

However, most of the content above was crossed out with several lines, as if they were considering better words to express their inner thoughts.

"Do we need some more inspiration?"

China put her hands behind her back, walked to the lamp with heel-to-toe steps, and bent down to ask.

"I feel... I haven't quite grasped the main theme yet," the lamp replied slowly.

Li Xi silently watched the two of them, recalling that although Qian Nai had never mentioned what songs she had written, she was certain that she had written both the lyrics and the music.

Therefore, China should also be able to provide assistance to the lighting crew in terms of lyrics.

In addition, China came to visit them with the intention of guiding the light to sing.

If I could have that many...

When this feeling of inferiority and dejection struck again, Lixi quickly shook her head, trying to shake off these thoughts and try to think about things from a positive perspective.

She tapped her drumsticks to get everyone's attention, and then said, "Let's play it one more time."

She wanted to cherish this opportunity of Chika's visit, as Chika's advice would help the band improve faster.

"Keep it up!"

China gave everyone a thumbs-up, then stepped back to their side and slightly in front.

"I can listen to a live performance for free."

"To have Ms. China's free on-site guidance is truly..."

Before Ai Yin could finish her honorary address, the drums began to beat, and she quickly followed the rhythm.

Chika tapped her thigh lightly with her fingertips to the beat of the drum, listening intently to the rhythm.

Aine, Akari, and Sose occasionally met her gaze. Seeing how serious China was, they couldn't help but focus even more intently and diligently on their performance.

The little lamp sang too high...

Su Shi saw through the wall mirror that the lamp seemed to be desperately shouting.

She coughed lightly to remind her, but the sound was completely drowned out by the sound field of the lights.

During her performance, Ai Yin was filled with tension and anxiety.

She kept telling herself: I absolutely cannot make a mistake in front of Chika, I absolutely cannot...

Sweat seeped from her palms, and her playing speed involuntarily increased due to nervousness.

"Stop!" Li Xi slammed the cymbals a few times to signal a halt.

Aine saw Riki's dissatisfied expression of "I made another mistake" through the mirror. If China hadn't been there, she probably would have scolded herself again.

"Don't be so nervous..." China immediately reassured her.

However, she also noticed that Lixi seemed to realize something, her eyes widened in astonishment, and her gaze lingered between her and the chocolate milkshake.

"W-what's wrong, Lixi?" Qiannai asked anxiously.

"Let's go outside and talk for a bit..."

Chapter 149 Main Attack

Another private message?

Aside from Le Nai, the other three knew that Chi Nai was the one who had a conflict with Li Xi during their private chat last time.

This made them uneasy.

"What happened, Lixi?"

Su Shi frowned as she asked, fearing that things would repeat themselves, yet it was something beyond her control.

If she or someone else is present when the two are talking, and if they foresee that a conflict may occur, they can at least try to dissuade them.

Besides, it was just a mistake in someone's performance, so why did you ask China to go outside to talk?

"It's nothing, just something between us... Let's go, China."

Lixi glanced at the milkshake again as she answered.

She became increasingly convinced of her guess, and could no longer hide her shyness. While waiting for China's reply, she would occasionally bite her lip.

What happened between them?

Li Xi's statement, coupled with her subtle expression, surprised Su Shi.

Have the two of you, who had a conflict not long ago, now found things you can only talk about when you're alone?

Have they made up? And when did their relationship become so good...?

Like two repulsive magnets, they attract each other tightly when one side is turned on.

While Su Shi was deep in thought, her fingers intertwined, Qian Nai and Li Xi had already walked outside the door.

A moment later, her gaze was drawn to another dejected voice.

"I was so nervous because Chika was there, so I sang really high... Is Tatsuki not planning to let Chika come visit us anymore...?"

Deng lowered his head and gripped the microphone tightly with both hands.

Su Shi raised her eyebrows; the lamp's angle offered some clues to the mystery in her heart.

Yeah, I was really hoping that Nozomi and Chika would suddenly become good friends.

But soon, her heart tightened again.

But doesn't that mean there's going to be another conflict?

Aine walked to the side of the lamp and patted it on the shoulder to comfort it:

"It can't be that bad. Didn't Lixi seem quite cautious when he was talking to Xiao Qiannai before?"

"Besides, with me here..."

She intended to stand tall and speak confidently, but accidentally let the guitar strings hanging around her neck hit the microphone, producing a piercing whistling sound.

The sound, like the cawing of a crow or the rustling of dry grass rolling past her feet, seemed to diminish the effectiveness of her soothing words and gave off an ominous premonition.

After everyone covered their ears and waited for the whistling to end, Ai looked around and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, sorry."

Then, she quickly walked to the door.

"Sure enough, I can't put my mind at ease either."

Ai Yin murmured helplessly, then pressed her ear to the doorway, but quickly pulled away, shaking her head.

"No way... eavesdropping is too disrespectful to other people's privacy."

Su Shi walked directly to her side, opened the door, and leaned out to look towards both sides of the corridor, but could not see the two of them.

"Where did they go..." she asked worriedly.

…………

In a rarely used safety passage, Li Xi gradually stopped and then turned around.

Her expression when she saw China was somewhat complicated, but more so fearful.

"Relax..."

Lixi tried to say that, but it didn't work.

China continued to stare at a certain corner, her brows trembling unconsciously.

This is the very spot where China knelt and cried after their last argument.

Seeing Qianna's expression, Lixi felt that he should put the chocolate milkshake matter aside for now to avoid putting more pressure on Qianna.

She needs to give a formal apology first.

"I'm very sorry about what happened between us in the kitchen last time."

Although Li Xi paused for a moment, he did not show any reluctance. Instead, he looked at Qian Nai and spoke sincerely.

Chika chuckled softly, maintaining that stiff smile, her gaze slowly shifting from the corner to Riki, and she questioned:

"So you brought me to the place where I cried last time?"

Lixi seemed to sense the suppressed anger in her smile, and she hurriedly and rapidly said:

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that!"

She was genuinely afraid that China would suddenly erupt in emotion or silently start sobbing again.

Even though she didn't know about China's condition, Riki had encountered several people with extreme emotional fluctuations, so she had this premonition.

However, China suddenly chuckled and then adopted a relaxed and indifferent expression.

Just as Li Xi blinked in confusion, Qian Nai said gently:

"I should apologize to you for that first, since I was the one who gave you the nickname 'little idiot' first."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she continued somewhat shyly.

"When I sent you a message on Line asking you to bark like a dog as an apology, didn't I demonstrate it? I used that demonstration as my apology at the time, but now that I think about it, it was really inappropriate..."

Who would have thought you were apologizing!

Li Xi couldn't help but think to himself.

Although the imitation of a puppy's bark is quite accurate...

She didn't want to admit it, but when she first heard China's puppy bark, even though it was just a tantrum, her heart pounded and her legs went weak.

In the following days, she would listen to it several times when no one was around, constantly convincing herself that China had deliberately used a puppy to cheat, and that she should just pretend she was listening to a real puppy barking.

As a result, Lixi's heart almost melted... She planned to save up enough money from her part-time job to buy a puppy.

In the end, was it really China who imitated it herself?

Li Xi still couldn't quite believe it:

"Could you please demonstrate it again? It's so similar."

I don't know if this counts as an unreasonable request...

However, Chika quickly nodded.

"Sure, consider it my way of apologizing in person."

“No…” Lixi reached out her hand, trying to indicate that she should remove the pre-existing purpose of “apology” and just imitate it to satisfy her curiosity.

But this didn't stop Chika. She raised her hands, her fists bent to the ground, and called out with a smile:

"Wang Wang~"

Ahhhhh...

Li Xi's pupils contracted, as if a pink arrow had shot into his heart, and many bubbles floated around his vision.

"It really, really looks like it..."

She felt a little dizzy, as if her mind had been occupied by the imitation of a puppy's bark, and she almost forgot about the chocolate milkshake.

Yes, yes... about the milkshakes, what was it again about the milkshakes...?

It turns out that the milkshake we just had was actually drunk by Chizuru!

Thinking back on it now makes it even harder for Lixi to recover.

"So, we're even now?" China asked tentatively, her hands behind her back.

Are we even?

Suddenly, Li Xi raised his head and asked as if in response to a jolt.

"That milkshake wasn't actually drunk by Hailing, it was drunk by you, right?! How could she drink something cold when she's on her period these days!"

China was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

She should have been flustered and stammering about Li Xiti's matter.

But it seems that the "advantage" she had just gained has stirred up some desire in her to take control of the situation... or rather, some restless thoughts.

"I thought you only realized something was wrong because you heard Hailing order a hot milkshake."

Chika crossed her arms, tapped her fingers lightly on her arm, and a sly smile played on her lips as she asked:

Are you best friends with her? How do you know her so well?
