Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

At this point, Ayano's face brought a gentle smile, but she quickly recovered and said, "Sorry, I got off topic.

To put it simply, we had our first disagreement over some things, and based on my understanding of Lixi, there was no way that Lixi would listen to my explanation at that time.

It was by coincidence that I discovered that there seemed to be a message from Li Xi under Hong Shengjiang's account, so I used this identity to find her. "

"You mean to say that you used this new identity, as an outsider, to enlighten her?"

Hachiman Kailing seemed to be lost in thought. At this moment, she looked like an apprentice listening to a master's lecture. She lowered her head as if she was looking for a notebook to write down a sentence.

However, she thought that she was not suitable for disguising her identity, so she gave up.

"Not entirely. I also wanted to tease her. After all, she put a lot of pressure on us during that time."

"..."

"Lixi must be having a hard time right now, right? Everyone in her former band has left, and she's clearly been trying very hard to win back the relationship. I can tell from chatting with her that this time, I'm asking for her help under the pretext of collaborating, mainly because I want her to stop dwelling on the past.

If there is anything that can make her start again, I think music is the best answer."

Hai Ling looked at Ayano's "sincere" expression, but her face didn't show much emotion. Instead, she waited calmly until Ayano finished speaking before asking a crucial question:

"Then why didn't Mizushima-san invite Riki to join you, and instead invited me? And if you want Riki to move on, deceiving her into forming a new band isn't very wise."

Hiss, what a difficult guy to deal with.

Ayano found that she thought too simply. She thought that such a good-tempered girl only needed

If you reveal a little of her secret, you can easily gain her trust.

But are you saying that she's overwhelmed and doesn't know how to deal with it? That's not the case.

"Hachiman-san, don't you think this is the best way?"

"But what you're saying now conflicts with what you said before. Before, you said that external and internal pressures are the catalysts that really bring a band together."

"Yes, so this is what is called external pressure."

"You...huh?"

Hachiman Kailing was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Mizushima Ayano in front of her did not show any sign of panic, but instead continued to talk as she said.

This made her curious about how Ayano would explain it.

"I hinted to Lixi many times that I would leave behind a song when I left, in order to express my reluctance to leave.

I also encouraged her to face the problem through the Polaris account. Of course... I didn't expect that some unexpected things would happen later, which completely made her at a loss again after she had finally decided to take action.

So when internal pressure has completely lost its effect, I can only rely on external pressure.

When Lixi learned that her former teammates were about to find new homes, she knew that if she didn't take action now, she would lose everything, so she would definitely make some preparations.

"..."

Hai Ling clenched her right fist and placed it on her chin. She carefully thought about the logic behind this sentence because she always felt something was wrong.

But Ayano obviously wouldn't give her time to think any further.

"You might be wondering what this has to do with external pressure. Isn't this the internal members' own choice? No one is forcing me to leave, right?"

"really."

"What if I say someone really invited me?"

"Who?"

"Toyokawa Shoko."

"Toyokawa Shoko?"

Hai Ling's eyes suddenly became a little subtle. She knew this person. Li Xi had told her that this was her former teammate.

Li Xi's ex-ex-teammate found his former teammate to form a band, and then the former teammate said that he did this for Li Xi. This kind of words sounded really weird, but it was very suitable for the girl in front of her who made her feel very weird.

The way of meeting and chatting is unconventional, mixed with some calculations and the intention of exploring her character. Logically, she should dislike such a person.

However, every time the other party concealed and deceived someone, it seemed to lead to a good result or a good intention in the end, which really made Hai Ling feel very interesting.

This is a very confident person with a delicate and sensitive mind, and he speaks very sharply.

This is Hai Ling's evaluation of Mizushima Ayano.

Of course, the way the other party teased Lixi really opened her eyes.

"So how do you plan to end this? You say this is a good way to go, but aren't you still going to quit the band in the end?"

"Why did you quit? Is it difficult to catch up between two sets?"

"..."

"Building a formidable opponent to increase pressure and provide motivation for Li Xi, but at the same time, these strongest opponents are all our own people. Is there a more selfless and interesting experience in the world?

By the way, let me tell you in advance that we will be performing on stage wearing masks."

"Okay, I'll join."

Ayano was a little surprised. How could this person agree so quickly? "Why, are you moved by me?"

"Yes, I'm moved by your shamelessness." Hai Ling smiled. This was the first smile she showed since coming here today. "By the way, when is your birthday?"

"Um... April 4th?"

"Then it seems you will have to call me sister from now on, Sister Lishi."

"..."

Chapter 166 Do you want to take Ayano to see Ayano's performance? (2/2)

Perhaps not much time has passed, but the fact that the students' uniforms have officially changed to summer uniforms always gives Lixi the illusion that everything that has happened before has come to an end.

Wearing a light white short-sleeved shirt and a solid pleated skirt school uniform, Li Xi stood in front of the vending machine, feeling the early summer breeze brushing against her cheeks.

On campus, the greenery was thicker, the cherry blossoms long gone, replaced by lush green leaves. Students walked in groups of two or three along the paths, their thin and light textbooks and notebooks making their steps seem even more brisk.

The ringing bell indicated that the physical education class was over, but Li Xi, who had changed out of his gymnastics uniform long ago, didn't care.

In front of the teaching building, the laughter and whistles of the sports club can still be heard. The track and field team members run on the playground, their sweat glistening in the sun. The change in school uniforms feels fresh, but the expressions on everyone's faces are still familiar.

It feels like... everything has changed, yet nothing has changed much.

Or maybe everyone is still the same, but Li Xi rarely has the opportunity like now to quietly observe and think about their similarities and differences.

"What happened next?"

"Red Ginger?" Li Xi, who was taking a drink from the vending machine, said to Hai Ling, who was leaning against the wall. "The song has been released. It's doing pretty well, right?"

This should be a very happy news, but for Li Xi, the end of this cooperation also means that she has no

A new goal.

Maybe if she had known this, she should have slowed down the re-arrangement process?

"I mean your band."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Xi paused in picking up the can. She did not turn around to look at Hai Ling who was speaking, but after a slight tremor in her heart, she pretended to be calm and said:

"ended."

"..."

Hai Ling looked at Li Xi with the lifeless eyes and felt helpless, but she also understood that some things could not be changed no matter how much advice others gave.

What can change others is never those few words, but the listeners themselves who already agree with those words.

She had signed a contract with Mizushima Ayano a few days ago, so she has now officially joined a stable band.

Although Hailing knew that Ayano did not establish this band entirely for Riki, no matter what, if doing so could make Riki try to make amends, then it would all be worth it.

"What about you?"

Li Xi obviously didn't want to continue talking about his topic, "Did Polaris talk to you?"

"Well, we met."

"Meeting?!"

Lixi's pupils widened. If there was anything that could make her so excited, it would only be Polaris, whom she had always wanted to meet but had no chance to meet.

Of course, she did feel a little jealous inside, after all, she was the one who knew the other person first.

"Well, she asked me to join her band and I agreed."

After saying this, Hai Ling kept her eyes on Li Xi. She wanted to observe his reaction.

"Is that so... That's great." Li Xi smiled, then asked doubtfully, "What about the band you've been helping out with?"

"I'm still going there because the new band hasn't fully started yet and they don't need me to go there."

"That's it."

Li Xi nodded and fell silent again.

But curiosity eventually overcame the other voices in her heart. Li Xi turned her attention back to Hai Ling and asked, "What kind of person is Polaris?"

"A very special person."

"special?"

"Yeah." Hai Ling nodded, trying to explain in a way that avoided telling a lie but also didn't reveal any key information in advance, "She gives people the impression of being very sophisticated, and her ideas about the band are very reasonable.

But she's not as innocent and gentle as you said. Instead, she seems to be quite thoughtful."

"Is this so..."

Lixi did not feel disappointed. On the contrary, her admiration for Polaris increased a little more.

She is not a fool. As a senior who has been in the music industry for many years, she must have seen more people and things than her. How could such a person be really naive? How could she be someone who is unconditionally friendly to others?

The setbacks and difficulties that Sister Polaris may encounter are beyond my imagination. She may have also experienced what I am experiencing now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so calm after I told him everything about the band, as if he had already found out about it from somewhere.

I can only say that I have seen it so many times that I have become numb to it.

But even so, Sister Polaris still provided a lot of help to a stranger on the Internet like him, and this kindness, which was as pure as if it had come out of the mud, really made Li Xi feel flattered.

"Do you have a photo together?"

"Do you want to see what she looks like?"

"Uh." Li Xi was a little embarrassed when her thoughts were directly exposed, but she didn't care that much in front of Hai Ling. "Well, after all, Polaris is a very respectable senior."

"..."

Oh, this child was deceived badly.

Hai Ling looked at Li Xi, whose eyes were full of longing, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

It has to be said that after knowing everything, she couldn't help but develop a strange sense of superiority in her heart, but this sense of superiority was not derogatory. It was just that after knowing the truth of all this, she couldn't help but have some teasing thoughts towards her friend.

"There are no photos, but Polaris is a very beautiful person."

"Is it beautiful?"

"Well, it's pretty unique among the people I've met. Why... do you still care so much about this?"

"Not really."

"..."

Hai Ling frowned. She inexplicably felt that the little joy she had just felt in her heart was now mixed with some less positive emotions.

"Do you really want to see her?"

"..."

Although Li Xi didn't say anything, Hai Ling already knew what she was thinking. "When we have our first LIVE, come and watch it if you're free."

"……it is good."

Although Lixi agreed, she was not as excited as before, or perhaps she was a little afraid to meet Polaris in real life.

After all, I must have disappointed the other party, right?

During this period of time, except for the first day when Li Xi recorded with Hai Ling, he only waited alone in the recording studio for the lights on the following two days.

On the fourth day, she gave up completely, and the idea of going to find the lamp also disappeared, because she didn't know what to say to win the other party back when they met.
