They are in the music show, but I am a stranger to them

Chapter 67: Chen Qi is targeted, Gao Songdeng is deeply confused

"Well, I'll go home first. Hailing, Mu, thank you for today."

After Chen Qi solved Lixi's emotional problems, he stayed at Lixi's house for a while longer to assist Lixi in helping her complete the composition of the band's new song.

Perhaps it was because of the presence of Chen Qi and Hai Ling, but this time, Li Xi was able to complete the arrangement of the new song exceptionally smoothly. With the help of Chen Qi's lyrics, he quickly finished the new song that he had not been able to finish for several weeks.

In the end, Li Xi adopted Chen Qi's suggestion and named the new song "Lost Day".

At this point, including the long-decided "Spring Shadow", the two songs that the five girls will perform in their first Live have also been officially finalized.

This meant that as long as Li Xi and the others performed stably in the live show a week later, the live show could basically be declared a success. After confirming this, Chen Qi couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although he helped a little on the new song, he was more of a lyricist. Now, Li Xi, who can complete the arrangement by himself with just a little guidance, has obviously grown a lot compared to before.

Compared to Crychic, which relied on him for everything in the beginning, the new band has begun to gradually break away from him and Xiangzi and adapt to the new environment without them.

Although Mu's joining did deviate from Chen Qi's expected track, Chen Qi thought again and felt that Mu and Yao Lenai were both people who would not cause trouble, so nothing should happen.

As for Lenai, she needs to think about where she will go in the future... Although [SPACE] has helped to protect her, the cat cannot stay there forever, and she should also find her next home.

Otherwise, when I set up Ave Mujica in the future, I will let Maomao replace Mujica? Chen Qi thought about this in his heart, and at the same time he remembered something, and said to Hailing who was going downstairs with him:

"By the way, Hailing, if possible, would you like to come and watch Lixi and the others' performance at RiNG in a week?"

"Of course." Hai Ling answered without hesitation. She was familiar with Chen Qi, so she nodded and said softly to Chen Qi without blinking:

"After watching the new song you wrote the lyrics for Li Xi, I have decided to watch their live show."

"By the way, I heard that you and Triangle-student performed together before. Do you want me to invite Triangle-student to join you?"

"That couldn't be better." Chen Qi's tone also showed a hint of joy as he nodded in response.

For this live show, Chen Qi will naturally invite as many friends as possible to the scene. Of course, it is not just to attract more audiences for Deng and the others, Chen Qi also has his own selfish motives.

Chen Qi did not tell Hailing that on his way here, he had already sent a message to Chuhua and Miaomeng inviting them to come to RiNG to watch the live show.

Chen Qi's only goal is to use the fame of Chu Hua and Miao Meng to bring more popularity to the new band formed by Deng and the others, so that they can have a higher reputation and get on the professional track faster in the future.

Chen Qi has always hoped to see these girls on a bigger stage.

Being able to witness their growth and success beyond the original works is the most comforting thing for Chen Qi.

Therefore, Chen Qi sent his invitation to Chu Hua and Miao Meng early on, and said without hiding anything, that if they could come to the scene, he thought that the performance of the band he liked was quite good, and hoped that they could help promote him.

After all, Chen Qi had just made his debut not long ago. Although "Gray and Blue" had set off a wave of popularity before, in terms of popularity, he still couldn't be compared with popular idols like Chu Hua who had been famous for a long time, or bloggers like Miao Meng who had up to 30 fans.

"Yeah."

However, for some reason, when Hai Ling saw Chen Qi's tone become a little more cheerful when he mentioned Triangle, her expression became a little serious. She looked away silently and said nonchalantly, pretending to be nonchalant:

"So, Chen Qi, how was your first collaboration with Sanjiao?"

"Hmm? Chuhua?" Chen Qi was not quite sure why Hailing asked this question. But behind the two of them, Mu, who had been following them with her head down, inadvertently pricked up her ears and listened to this topic that concerned her.

"As for Chuhua, she's a very professional idol. She's actually very talented in singing. She probably never noticed before that she's actually quite talented in emotional transmission, right?"

"That's not what I'm asking." However, Hailing was not very satisfied with Chen Qi's answer. She stared at Chen Qi with her eyes fixed on him. With a calm and strong attitude, she asked Chen Qi:

"I'm asking, if you were in different bands, would you prefer working with Mikado or Lixi?"

Chen Qi: "... Chuhua is the lead singer and Lixi is the drummer. It seems that we can't compare them like this, right?"

Facing Hai Ling who suddenly became strong, Chen Qi paused for a moment, but still chose what he thought was the best answer and said gently:

“For me, Chuhua and Lixi both have their own strengths, and I enjoy working with them as long as I can bring out their strengths.”

"It's just like Hailing, you're supporting more than 30 bands, and you use different methods to match each band's different styles, right? You can't really say which band you like more, right?"

"No, so far, I haven't met any band that I would like to work with." Seeing that her question was kicked back by Chen Qi, Hai Ling shook her head helplessly and said softly to Chen Qi:

"That's why I hope that Lixi can stay in a band she likes. It was like this when she was in Crychic, and now I hope Lixi likes this band too."

"——I will definitely do that."

After hearing Hai Ling's caring words to Li Xi, Chen Qi couldn't help but smile a little, feeling quite emotional. How did Li Xi meet a good friend like Hai Ling?

After all, according to Chen Qi's experience, when two straightforward people meet, there is a high probability that a sharp confrontation will occur. However, it is really rare that Li Xi and Hai Ling can not only become good friends, but also not be angered by each other's straightforwardness.

But no matter what, Chen Qi could sense Hailing's wholehearted concern for Li Xi. Therefore, when faced with Hailing's wish, Chen Qi agreed without hesitation.

"Of course, it's not just Li Xi."

"Ok?"

"Hailing, I believe that you will also meet a band that you 'like to work with'. That day will not be too late. I have this feeling."

Of course, what Chen Qi said was not empty talk. After all, at present, Chen Qi has the contact information of several main members of Ave mujica. Everything can be done as long as Xiangzi is ready. Then, based on the relationship between Chen Qi and them, he believes that no one should refuse his invitation.

There is no need to say much about Chuhua. They have a friendship from their first collaboration and they are both good friends of Xiangzi. I believe that as long as Xiangzi joins, Chuhua will join without hesitation.

As for Miao Mengqin, Chen Qi still owed her money. Chen Qi felt that if he used the reason that "If Miao Mengqin is willing to join, not only will I be able to repay the money faster, but Miao Mengqin can also make a lot of money", she should not refuse.

As for Xiangzi... Chen Qi just needs to wait until she becomes the initiator of Ave Mujica. By then, I believe Xiangzi will no longer feel that her self-esteem is hurt because she helped him form the band.

"...Then I'll borrow your good words."

In response to Chen Qi's words, Hai Ling was stunned for a rare moment, then smiled faintly and nodded to Chen Qi.

Before Hai Ling turned around and left, she did not forget to leave Chen Qi with an incredible sentence, saying:

"But now I kind of understand why Li Xi has such complicated feelings towards you."

"Here's a suggestion for you, Chen Qi. Don't make promises to others casually in the future. If one day you fulfill a promise intentionally or unintentionally, it may bring you trouble."

After saying that, Hai Ling just waved her hand and left. Judging from her relaxed tone, it was obvious that she didn't take Chen Qi's words seriously.

After all, she has been running around among thirty bands, but to this day, she has not really met a band that Chen Qi said she "likes to work with", and she doesn't have much hope for this.

But, it must be said that these words of blessing still prevented the little hope in her heart from being completely shattered.

"...Qi, I'm leaving first."

"Well, bye, Mu."

After Hailing left, Mu also said hello to Chen Qi and chose to leave alone. She still had some art training classes to attend, and she had skipped several classes when she came to Lixi's house today.

Fortunately, after I explained it to my dad last time, he didn't seem to doubt anything...

Mu lowered her head and left alone. Feeling relieved, she did not notice that her every move was being watched by a man in a suit in an inconspicuous car on the roadside.

"Hello, Mr. Ruoye?" The person in the car waited until Mu walked away before reporting softly to the person on the other end of the phone:

"Yes, we found the eldest lady, and also found the person named Chen Qi. There was also an unknown black-haired girl with them."

"——Help me keep an eye on that guy." On the other end of the phone, Mr. Ruoye's tone was also extremely serious, and he replied indifferently:

"It is important to investigate his relationships, especially whether there are other girls around him."

"I don't want my naive daughter to be cheated and have to count money for others."

"Yes, Mr. Wakaba."

……

"Ding dong."

On the way home, Chen Qi felt a long-lost sense of relief in his heart. At this moment, his mobile phone placed on the sink beeped. The girl with the mark "Hongxia" sent him a new message.

Hong Xia: [Senior Chen Qi! I have good news for you! Manager Tsuzuki approved our performance, and we have successfully graduated! ]

[A week later, it will be the day for Sister to assess us! Although it accidentally coincided with Dengjiang's live performance, Sister also said that it can be delayed for a few days. After Senior Chen Qi watched Dengjiang's performance, he didn't have to rush to our side. ]

[Of course, we will still wait for Senior Chen Qi at Fanxing! Senior Chen Qi, whenever you have time, you can come to Fanxing anytime. We are in great shape, and we will definitely surprise my sister and Senior Chen Qi~]

The condition is excellent. Chen Qi looked at the message sent by Hong Xia and naturally understood that they had been preparing for this day for a long time in the past month. Since the grandmother tacitly agreed to their departure, it is believed that the current level of the band has also undergone a qualitative change.

Although the friendship between these four girls is not as deep as that between himself and the members of MYGO, they have been working hard to meet his expectations, and it is indeed worth Chen Qi's attention to them.

Chen Qi: [I will definitely go, and I am also looking forward to the performance of everyone in the band.]

……

"I am back."

"Brother... welcome back."

When Chen Qi just returned to the cabin, Gao Songdeng, who was sitting on the bed and flipping through the precious notebook in his hand, also raised his head at the first moment, and quickly came to Chen Qi's side in small steps.

"Brother, how was the talk with Li Xi?" Gao Songdeng helped Chen Qi take off his coat naturally, and at the same time asked the question that concerned him the most, and asked worriedly:

"Lixi, you didn't do anything, right?"

Gao Songdeng was very anxious during the waiting period. After all, his brother left in the morning and he still hadn't come home until dusk, which made him wonder if Li Xi had done something to hurt his brother.

After all, in Gao Songdeng's eyes, the one who had the worst relationship with his brother during the Crychic period was probably Li Xi... He had the impression that the two of them were always arguing, so Deng was quite uneasy when Chen Qi went to find Li Xi this time.

"Don't worry, we have discussed everything well. Lixi will be back with the band tomorrow, and he has also brought you a new song."

Chen Qi's answer also made Deng feel a little relieved. But at the moment when Deng took Chen Qi's coat, the obvious wound on the back of Chen Qi's neck made Deng's eyes suddenly focus.

With a violent tremor of her body, the coat in Deng's hand fell to the ground. Deng's face turned pale, and she immediately asked her brother in an extremely terrified voice:

“Brother! You’re injured—wuwuwu…”

However, before Gao Songdeng could shout out, Chen Qi's large hand immediately covered her mouth.

When he realized something was wrong, Chen Qi half-knelt on the ground. He did not release his hand until Deng's expression calmed down a little. Facing Deng, whose eyes were about to shed tears, he said gently without any concern:

"Shh, Deng, don't let Aine hear it, otherwise things will be very troublesome."

"I have some medicine in the drawer under my computer desk. Can you help me clean the wound?"

Gao Songdeng: "Okay..."

Deng, who always obeyed his brother's words, kept his sanity in the panic. He quickly took out the iodine and alcohol that Mu had used to wipe Chen Qi's wound from the drawer, and quickly returned to his brother who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with the wound on the back of his neck exposed.

...Come to think of it, last time, Xiaomu snatched away my chance to clean my brother's wound, but this time, Xiaomu, Su Shi and Aine-chan happened to be away.

While Gao Songdeng carefully wiped alcohol on Chen Qi's wound, he couldn't help but recall the last time he lost to Mu. At the same time, a strange feeling of relief flashed through his mind - fortunately, he didn't really make a sound.

Otherwise, even this opportunity to be alone with my brother might be snatched away by Aine-chan...

Especially, because of what happened back then, my brother has been trying to keep his distance from me as much as possible... When he thought of this, even Takamatsu Deng, who had been with Chen Qi for more than ten years and whose expression dimmed a little, had almost no confidence in defeating Aine.

But fortunately, at least now, I am my brother’s only choice.

Now, let me be alone and do something for my brother.

Thinking of this, Gao Songdeng became more careful when wiping Chen Qi's wound, fearing that his movements would be too rough and cause his brother to feel pain, thus missing out on the opportunity to apply medicine to his brother.

However, looking at the obvious bloody bite marks on his brother's neck, even Gao Songdeng could not resist the impulse in his heart and said timidly to Chen Qi:

"Li Xi...that's too much."

"Don't say that, Deng. Besides, Li Xi is angry because of me." Facing his sister's resentment, Chen Qi, as an older brother, immediately stepped forward to clear up the misunderstanding and said to Deng behind him:

"If I had paid more attention to Li Xi, Su Shi and the others when Xiangzi wanted to quit Crychic, perhaps everything wouldn't have come to this."

"But, Li Xi shouldn't have treated her brother like this." Gao Songdeng looked at the wound on the back of Chen Qi's neck, and her dissatisfaction became stronger. After all, even she didn't do anything as excessive as Li Xi did to her brother.

Of course Gao Songdeng knew that this was not the first time Li Xi had hurt his brother. When she was in Crychic before, she had seen the wound on Chen Qi's shoulder that was bitten by Li Xi. But that time it was because Li Xi lost control of his emotions, so Deng reluctantly forgave Li Xi's behavior.

But this time, it is difficult for Takamatsu Deng to let it go. After all, the back of the neck and the shoulders have different meanings for Takamatsu Deng.

The back of the neck is where her brother kissed her at the beginning... This also made Gao Songdeng always regard the back of the neck as a symbol of "intimacy" in her heart. She understood that it was a part that could only be touched with the mouth when the relationship was good enough to hug freely.

Li Xi must have been hugging his brother, and given his brother's height, if his brother didn't cooperate, Li Xi would never have been able to bite that position.

But, doesn't Li Xi hate his brother? Why did he hug his brother?

Gao Songdeng's doubts grew deeper and deeper. For the first time, she began to feel that perhaps Li Xi's feelings for her brother were not that simple.

However, Chen Qi naturally had no idea of ​​what was in Deng's mind. He just heard Deng's dissatisfaction, and after a slight smile, he patiently explained to his sister:

"Deng, maybe when we were in Crychic, you might have thought that Lixi always quarreled with me and had a bad temper, but in fact, I can tell you that Lixi is a person who easily keeps things to himself."

"Because she can't find anyone to vent her anger to, nor does she have a reasonable way to vent her emotions. On weekdays, Li Xi may only vent some of her resentment when she plays the drums."

"It was because I saw through Li Xi's character that Li Xi came to quarrel with me whenever he was dissatisfied."

"Hey? Li Xi quarreled with brother at the beginning. Was it intentional by brother?"

However, Gao Songdeng's fingers trembled slightly when he heard Chen Qi say this for the first time. With his eyes slightly contracted, Gao Songdeng clenched one of his hands unconsciously, and asked Chen Qi in a trembling and slightly frightened tone:

"Brother...why do you indulge Li Xi so much?"

Could it be because my brother...likes Lixi?
