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

When speaking to strangers, especially to their future bandmates, people tend to be more cautious with their words.

If a conflict of opinion arises, try to resolve it through debate rather than escalating it into an argument.

If someone accidentally touches on a sensitive topic in their speech, they should change their words as soon as possible.

Hailing has seen more instances of arguing with someone knowingly touching their sore spots than in bands that have been established for some time and where the members have developed a certain bond.

unless……

"Is she considered to be familiar with everyone?" Hai Ling speculated.

"Familiar with people..."

As Li Xi recited the word, recalling his conversation with Qian Nai backstage, his face involuntarily flushed.

Before her cheeks turned red, she turned her head and used her other hand, which was facing Hailing, to support her face, thus avoiding Hailing's gaze.

And... China even gave a special demonstration of how to bark like a dog.

As she was thinking, she bit the straw off her drink and it was only when the straw was just out of her mouth that she noticed it.

She immediately put the straw back in her mouth, twisted it half a circle with her finger, and then rounded it again before putting the drink aside and pretending to be calm.

"Anyway, it's my problem."

Li Xi's vague answer made Hai Ling seem to sense something, but she couldn't quite figure it out, so she asked casually, "Are you planning to find a new member?"

"Finding new members..."

Li Xi's pupils trembled, and he looked at Hai Ling firmly, saying,

No...she's very important!

The fact that Touka was willing to bring up the idea of ​​forming a band must have been due to China's encouragement and support in vocal instruction.

If we don't keep Chika, Akari will probably lose motivation again because of this familiar experience...

Damn it, I had to have this strange falling out with such an important person.

After speaking, Li Xi relaxed his shoulders again, looking unwilling.

She resembles the original band members of Lixi and they had a falling out as soon as they met. She is very important to Lixi.

When these factors were combined, Hailing understood...

Lixi will probably be able to find her place again.

"That's it."

Hai Ling turned her face to the side, her bangs obscuring her slightly furrowed brows.

"I hope we can get along well."

She turned around and went back to her seat.

And in the seat behind her was Chu Hua.

She sat quietly in the chair, her calm smile masking a mysterious allure in her purple eyes.

"Hailing, have you been busy at the newly opened RiNG store lately?"

“Yes, there are many bands rehearsing there,” Hailing nodded. She was employed by many bands for their rehearsals and performances.

"What good food or drinks do you have in RiNG?" Chu Hua asked softly.

Hailing shook her head: "I haven't ordered much yet."

The water she drank most often at RiNG was the purified water from the training room.

Every time the band finished rehearsing, and the members planned to take Hailing to a shop for a drink, she would leave under the pretext that she had to help another band with their rehearsal.

"That's it."

Chu Hua felt a little regretful.

After all, at RiNG, besides the training room, areas like the lobby or restaurants are where people most often gather to discuss forming a band.

Hailing might be pleased that Lixi has reformed the band, but she won't pay special attention to who formed the band.

However, once the band performed for the first time, they found out who Lixi was talking about.

It was at this moment that Lixi saw a message from Su Shi pop up on her phone:

"Sienna won't be able to come for a while, how about the four of us try practicing for a few days first?"

??ha?

……

In the afternoon, after school.

The end of the last class before Golden Week was a pleasant surprise for many students.

However, the four people who were about to meet RiNG were filled with trepidation and mixed feelings.

The first to arrive was Lixi, who was going to work there.

Then came Suze, who had accompanied China to the hospital and returned.

In the morning, after making breakfast and waiting for China to wake up naturally, she received a text message from Aine.

"After Xiao Qianna cried like that, she probably won't want to be in a band for a while. How about we try practicing for a few days first?"

"sure."

Su Shi, who was obsessed with the integrity of the band, quickly agreed this time.

She felt extremely guilty towards China and deeply regretted her plan.

Originally, after the conflict between China and Riki, it was probably true, as Aine said, that she just didn't want to join the band for a period of time, and she could be gently coaxed into joining by words.

However, Su Shi used terrible methods to persuade Qian Nai, which made Su Shi, in judging herself by her own standards, decide that she was no longer worthy of inviting Qian Nai into the team.

Afterwards, I took China to the hospital for a check-up. Since she drank alcohol while taking the medication, she was admitted to the hospital for further investigation.

Regarding China's hospitalization, Su Shi didn't want Aine to mistakenly believe that it was all Riki's fault, and was prepared to take the initiative to admit her mistake.

However, on her way to the inpatient department, China smiled and said:

"Just tell Aiyin it's a routine hospital check-up."

Su Shi felt guilty, yet obediently told Aine this.

And now, after school in the afternoon, they wait for the other two to arrive.

As expected, when Aine arrived, she tried to force a friendly smile, but her eyes remained serious, while Akari looked uneasy.

At another table, a white-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes, enjoying a matcha parfait, sensed something interesting.

Chapter 105 What You Hope For, What We've Been Hiding

Such a heavy and somewhat awkward meeting atmosphere usually doesn't arouse the interest of girls with heterochromia.

But the girl's cat-like intuition told her that something interesting was about to happen.

When Yao Le Nai went to the beverage shop to play the piano, she had overheard the shop manager and Li Xi talking about bands. She had heard about someone who had rekindled their confidence and wanted to form a band for life.

People like that are very interesting.

……

At the table next to Yao Lenai, when the four people all looked solemn and speechless, it was Su Shi who broke the silence first.

"Aiyin"

Su Shi adjusted her tone to be amiable and said to Ai Yin, who was sitting opposite her,

"Could you elaborate on your thoughts?"

"Um……"

Aine had reminded herself several times before the meeting, and had rehearsed it countless times in her mind, to maintain her usual demeanor and simply do things gently.

Before she spoke, she mentally reviewed the purpose of bringing everyone together.

As someone who encouraged Deng to regain her hope and played with her on the stage, Ai Yin wanted to accompany her in the band again.

Another point is to test the waters for China and get to know the members better.

Band practice is not as relaxed as casual conversation, especially before a show where the pressure is immense and it can easily lead to friction between members.

Aiyin first needs to understand whether this band can maintain a relatively positive and harmonious atmosphere under considerable pressure.

If it's too difficult, I wouldn't recommend that China come and suffer...

Regarding whether to tell Li Xi that "China can be vulnerable at times, so try to be kind and tolerant towards her," Aine chose to discuss it with Suze and China herself via LINE during lunch break.

First of all, Aine and Suze both understand that China is afraid that once others find out that she has bipolar disorder, the label of "mentally ill person" will be attached to her in their eyes.

Some are kind-hearted, but upon learning that the other suffers from mental illness, they become at a loss and feel ashamed of their inability to help.

In this regard, Aine is quite proud to have gained China's trust and reliance.

In short, China rarely reveals to others that she has bipolar disorder, and also indicates that she should not tell Riki that she has bipolar disorder for the time being.

Secondly, without explaining the symptoms, should Li Xi try to be gentler with Qian Nai and not put too much pressure on her?

China said no, saying that Riki didn't need to suppress his personality for her sake, and then stopped talking, citing "resting in the hospital" as the reason.

When communicating with Su Shi, she didn't express a strong desire for Chika to stay in the band, and the conversation ended there.

After lunch break, Ai-yin talked with Deng again.

As a result, it was natural that the lighthouse needed Chika to stay in the band and planned to persuade Riki to do so.

It was now the afternoon of the four-person meeting. Aine glanced at the silent lamp beside her, who looked hesitant to put her plan into action.

Then, Ai Yin slightly lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling obliquely on Li Xi across the lamp.

That look in his eyes, whether casual or easygoing, left Lixi unsure whether to be wary or relaxed.

"Actually, I don't really have any concrete ideas..."

"In short, China didn't skip the visit because she was sulking; she genuinely had something to do."

"Then, I'd like to ask Lixi, do you want Xiaoqianai to join the band?"

"I……"

After holding his breath for a moment, Li Xi glanced at the light and then said with certainty.

"Although we had a conflict the first time we met, I hope that Chinatsu will join the band if Akari needs her!"

At this moment, he looked up from under the lamp and asked, "Little Lixi, will you be a little gentler with Little Qiannai?"

“Of course!” Lixi nodded quickly.

"Hmm... then let's practice for a while first, and then wait for China to come back."

"Okay! I'll prepare another score for five people..."

On one side, Riki and Akari, radiating energy, affirm each other and look forward to China's return.

On one side are Aine and Sose, who are confused and struggling to express themselves, still hiding the fact that China is hospitalized.

Seeing the usually taciturn couple chatting so happily, Su Shi smiled and gave Ai Yin a nod, and the two of them also tried to join in the conversation.

They opened their mouths at the same time, but couldn't utter a single word, so they could only laugh awkwardly at each other.

As Aine serves as China's "secret keeper" and "caretaker," Motoyo senses a subtle sense of partnership with Aine.

While at Crychic, I felt like a member of the family.

However, when it comes to interacting with one of the members, there is rarely this feeling of "having a common goal and cooperating and communicating with each other".

When they were in a quartet, they always maintained close or special relationships with one or more of them.

Xiangzi and Mu were childhood friends. Xiangzi composed songs for the poems and lyrics of the lantern, and Lixi also resonated with the lyrics after the lantern performance...

Su Shi herself felt that there was always a distance between her and them, and that she was just trapped in a circle by Crychic.

But being able to stay within the circle is enough to make me content.

Having a partnership with someone like Aine isn't really a necessary requirement.
