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

She turned around, and as expected, there were many students with guitars in the back of the classroom.

When you go on stage to perform, you might open your guitar case and exclaim in surprise, "Oh no, my string is broken! Looks like I won't be able to perform this time!" Presumably, some kind classmates will offer their guitars, saying, "Then you can use mine for now!"

Immediately, Aine realized that the strategy she had come up with in her panic was really unreliable, and she became very annoyed.

I can't take it anymore, I absolutely can't concentrate on this class.

In her anxiety, Ai Yin could only scroll through her phone for a while to calm herself down.

While scrolling through her feed, she came across a video of a four-piece band performing.

The guitarist in the video had a string break while playing, and it just so happened that it was her turn to play her solo part.

In this critical situation, her teammates first helped her play the piano to provide cover.

At that moment, she picked up a bottle and used it to prop up the strings, acting as a slide.

When a string breaks, it's like a steel cable breaking on a bridge. The tension of that string is distributed to the other five strings, causing them to go out of tune.

The slide can ignore out-of-tune notes and produce the desired pitch.

This guitarist, with his quick wit and superb skills, averted the crisis and successfully saved the day!

Others, when their strings break, try to figure out how to continue playing, but I broke my own string to avoid performing...

She didn't want to back down anymore, and even wanted to use this video as inspiration.

She searched for slide tutorials, thinking that when she performed in the next class, she would take out her guitar with the broken string, and then be surprised to find that her string was broken. She would then borrow a slide from a classmate to continue playing.

Wait a minute, how could someone learn a glissando in just one lesson, especially since they haven't even solidified their basics yet!

If someone is willing to lend me their guitar, I'll use someone else's guitar to play.

If not...

A sense of侥幸 (a lucky break) gradually rose again.

Hmm, so this is indeed the best-case scenario...

……

The bell rings.

At this moment, not only their own group, but other students were also talking about the possibility that the physics teacher might call on students to perform.

Ai Yin faintly heard someone excitedly saying that they had just practiced a piece of music and planned to perform it in the next class.

That's good. I'll just tell Deng that I'll give this opportunity to someone else. Deng shouldn't mind.

Deng happened to overhear the classmate's words, so she turned to Aiyin and asked, "Aiyin... I heard that others also want to play... Do you think the teacher might allow us to play two pieces, so that she and we can all have the opportunity to play?"

Seeing how persistent the lamp was, Aine's previously conflicted heart gradually calmed down, and she sighed.

"Maybe."

It doesn't matter which way it goes.

The school bell rang again.

Before the teacher stepped through the door, Deng was filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement, occasionally reciting a few lines silently, recalling the feeling of practicing at noon.

In this mood, she smiled and turned her head, intending to ask Aine how she felt...

"The physics teacher is on leave, so I'll switch classes with her this period."

Chapter 81 I won't... let you down

Seeing that it wasn't the physics teacher entering the classroom, Ai-yin's conflicted and unstable emotions calmed down.

Afterwards, I felt a little empty inside.

To put it another way, if the physics teacher hadn't asked for leave, and I was forced to perform on stage because I didn't want the lights to be disappointed... wouldn't that be considered a re-motivation to perform under the influence of external factors?

It was like being called on to introduce myself in English class in the morning. Although I didn't think my performance was particularly outstanding, I still received applause from my classmates and regained some confidence.

Indeed, some external motivation is still needed.

Looking back, the only time I encountered a setback was when I was introducing myself during my studies in the UK, due to my spoken English.

Previously, during the student council performance, no one in the audience cast doubtful or mocking glances at him.

Why are you so nervous about this performance opportunity? You probably really want to go on stage and perform...

Besides not having practiced for too long, are there any other factors...?

Chinatsu Toyohashi.

The name popped into Aine's mind.

Every time a presentation is about to take place, there is always a gem of a China that precedes it.

She hit a high note at the karaoke bar, and she also performed in physics class today. Her excellent performance was heard from the next class during the break.

It's all China's fault... No, how could I have such thoughts?

I told China, "Don't feel guilty for doing too well."

When the psychological defense mechanism of "projection," also known as the "blame-shifting mentality," was activated, Ai Yin immediately chose to refuse.

Chika has been helping me all along; I can't have this kind of feeling towards someone who has helped me.

What's done is done. Don't take any chances that the physics teacher is on leave this time. Don't try to find ways to skip practice and performances with the band next time.

Let's focus on our studies first.

Just as Aine was looking at her notes, she saw the phone in the drawer light up.

The lamp sent a message.

Did my request to go on stage bother Xiao Aiyin?

Lamp noticed Aine's hesitation and worry when he made the request.

When asked, "Will the teacher allow us and our classmates to go up and perform?" Ai-yin sighed unintentionally, which even the lighthouse noticed.

Perhaps it's only after the fact that I belatedly realize I should say something out of consideration for others, but when faced with these situations, my words always go blank.

If your heart is a space that isolates you, then your mouth should be a door.

But this door is always tightly closed, preventing my thoughts from being expressed before they are ever truly realized, leaving me only able to wander between the floor, walls, and ceiling.

These thoughts, however, eventually lost their energy and vanished as a wisp of smoke in the air above their closed-off space.

When I tried to grasp these thoughts again, I looked up and found that the space was empty except for myself.

This time, while these ideas still have form and can be grasped, the lamp chose to express them using lines.

This gives you room to think and consider what to post.

Before the message is officially sent, because the content remains in the "draft" in the chat box rather than in the mind, it will not deteriorate, become abstract, or even dissipate.

After sending the message, Deng felt that closing his room didn't seem so gloomy anymore.

Not long after, the lamp received a reply from Aiyin.

It's true that some of these choices have given me some difficulty in making a decision.

But without the little lights, I probably wouldn't have the motivation to perform on stage.

Although there's no chance to perform on stage now...

Was the idea of ​​encouraging Aine to perform on stage also a way of motivating her to perform on stage...?

The lamp didn't dwell on Aine's words, but simply replied.

If Xiao Aiyin doesn't really want to attend the next physics class, that's fine, since it was my request.

These words, originally spoken out of a humble subconscious desire, inadvertently gave Aine a way out.

Aine was actually thinking of not using this step, and imagined that Akari would say something like, "Then I will continue to be your motivation and encourage you to perform on stage in the next opportunity."

But who would dare to say something so forceful? Perhaps it would be Chizuru in a manic state.

I'll try my best to play, but if I'm not feeling good that day, there's nothing I can do.

With the steps provided, Aine couldn't help but step down instead of saying things like, "Next time I'll definitely seize the opportunity to go on stage," which would cut off her own escape route.

Sigh, I should be a little tougher on myself.

She made this self-criticism, but her initial motivation for forming the band told her that it was for socializing, and there was no need to make such a firm decision.

That's true...

Coming to her senses, Aiyin continued listening to the lesson, at which point the social studies teacher started talking about the spread of modern English.

Halfway through the lecture, the teacher suddenly asked:

"Speaking of which, you students should have already learned about this part in your English classes, right?"

The students nodded in agreement.

The teacher continued.

"In that case, we can quickly review this part... Before that, would any student like to come up and sing an English song?"

The lamp's grip on the pen suddenly tightened.

The opportunity has come once again.

At that moment, she also faintly heard the murmurs of the students who had said they wanted to go on stage to perform during the break.

"Sigh... the song we practiced before wasn't in English."

Besides, when I looked at the other students, they were all looking around and no one seemed inclined to raise their hands.

In this way, only he himself would want to take the initiative to go on stage.

My restless heart wavered for a moment between tension and fear, but then I thought of another person.

The lamp quietly turned its head, and Ai Yin in the back seat was also filled with mixed feelings.

It's okay to go on stage alone, right?

But what would she think if Aine wasn't included...?

wrong.

You yourself can be the driving force behind your love for music.

It could also be the motivation for all the band members afterwards.

If you want to be in a band for life, you should take action!

A hand was raised from below the stage.

When the students saw that it was the lamp that had raised its hand, they were all surprised.

This person, who is usually quiet and not very proactive, actually wanted to go on stage and sing.

Who inspired her?

Ai Yin had considered that if she and the other students didn't raise their hands, Deng's desire to go on stage might be dampened by the atmosphere, and she might choose to back down.

But the lamp still broke free from its closed-off heart.

At this moment, Aine could no longer restrain herself, setting aside all fear and worry, and spoke.

"Then I'll be the accompaniment for the lamp!"

"Ah..." Deng smiled with delight, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

Just as Aine was about to take her guitar out of its case, she suddenly remembered something that had happened not long ago…

To avoid going on stage, she just broke the strings on her guitar...

It was this broken string that caused Aine's already mustered courage to be disturbed once again by her troubled inner self.

After taking out the guitar, she looked at it with a slightly serious expression and asked in surprise, "Huh... why is it broken?"

She mimicked checking a guitar, glancing at her classmates who didn't seem inclined to borrow it.

And this is indeed the best situation for Aine.

They expressed their determination to play together in front of the lamp while avoiding the situation of actually playing.

Although this made the lamp look a little less appealing, it was "something that couldn't be helped."
