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

"……what?"

Just as Aine opened her mouth to yelp, Ayano had already stuffed the dumplings into her mouth.

"Chew it up and swallow it. Do you understand?"

"no……"

"Don't talk while eating. Have you forgotten what I taught you at home?" Seeing Aine's surprised face, Ayano hit her hard again, "Eat your lollipop after you finish eating the dumplings, or I won't buy you any candy anymore~"

"..."

No, she was really treated like a baby?!

Chapter 74 You

You dare to use the songs I created against me, Lixi? (1/2)

"Look over there, wow...are they mother and daughter? The mother is so young and beautiful! Could this be the Child-Fairy of Tianshan?"

"Are you out of your mind? This is obviously a joke... But I'm going to do this with my girlfriend too! I'll ask her to give me something cold when I have my period."

By the way, what is Tianshan Tonglao? "

"Shh, these days JKs are really outrageous. I even met one who smiled and gave the boss the middle finger. It was so scary... Is this Tokyo?"

"You know what, this scene is so adorable. I really want to take a picture of them... but it's a pity that secretly taking pictures is illegal."

Aine couldn't actually hear the specific content of the whispers of the people around her, but of course she did hear the words "love" from the table closer to her, although this didn't reduce the shame in her heart much.

Too many people's attention is focused on them!

No, why is it that Ayano is able to completely disregard other people's opinions? Is that face full of "maternal love" really that she is so immersed in the role that she can't get out?

"Really? How come you have vinegar all over the corners of your mouth just by eating dumplings? Let me wipe it off for you."

While Aine was stunned, Ayano had already stood up and held a napkin towards her.

She only felt her heart beating very fast at this moment, with a contradictory feeling of being ashamed but also happy. Moreover, Ayano's face and body occupied most of her sight, so Aine could not see other people's pointing fingers at them.

All he saw in his own world was the beautiful Ayano, who was smiling and gently wiping her mouth.

"Well, you passed."

Perhaps she felt that it was inappropriate to continue teasing like this, so after doing this, Ayano sat back in her seat.

Then he handed the chopsticks he had just snatched back to Aine, and continued to eat the dumplings he had not yet started.

"...Approved? Does that mean...can I move in?"

"Of course, we can, but we have to agree on three rules."

"Huh?" Aine was a little dissatisfied, but seeing Ayano's face that refused to be rejected, she nodded. "Then what are the three rules?"

"First, don't get into conflicts with your roommates. Most importantly, don't make me have to mediate the arguments between you and Xiaoxiang every day."

"……Row."

"Second, wash your own clothes. Of course, if Xiaoxiang is willing to wash your clothes, I won't say anything. After all, helping with laundry is part of her job."

"What? She helps with the laundry? Whose laundry?!"

"Why are you so excited?" Ayano gave Aine a strange look, and that look made Aine on the other side feel a little uncomfortable.

But even though this beautiful girl group had already attracted a lot of attention, Aine still expressed her thoughts after thinking for a while.

"I don't need her help washing me, and Ayano, you can't let her wash me either...at worst, I'll wash it for you."

"Are you short of money too?"

"Lack...of money?"

Aine was stunned for a moment before she realized that the subtext of this sentence was to imply that Xiangzi stayed at Ayano's house to work for financial reasons.

Yes, if it wasn't for this reason, there would be no reason why a blue-haired guy who appeared out of nowhere would move into Ayano's house before she could succeed.

But the problem is, Xiangzi doesn't look like a child from a poor family at all.

How could someone who can learn piano and play in a band with others be short of money these days?

Could it be that... the family has fallen on hard times?

"Don't think about it. Why she left home is not our concern. Everyone has their own secrets. To me, she is my teacher, cleaner, and friend.

As an employment relationship, she provides the labor and I provide the compensation.

As a friend, I respect her personal wishes and will lend a helping hand when she needs it."

"Okay... so what's the third rule?"

"You have to get your parents' consent, and then you still have to go back every weekend night to avoid worrying your aunt."

"No problem, it's settled."

Going back on weekends is not a problem at all, and she can't always stay at Ayano's place, she still has to take care of her mother.

Besides, this weekend is the end of the LIVE. Instead of getting angry with Xiangzi after a tiring day, it would be better to go home and have a comfortable sleep.

"I'll go home and pack my things tomorrow!"

......

"No, this part is still a little lacking in meaning."

After returning home, Li Xi said a few perfunctory words to his family, then hurried upstairs and closed the door.

She put on her headphones and listened to the songs in her computer over and over again, but she was not listening to her own song, but

It was "Shiori" that she helped arrange.

Of course, the "almost" she meant was not referring to the song "Shiori", but was a true evaluation of her own new song after comparison.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.

Although "Haruhi Shadow" and "Shiori" are both relatively gentle and lyrical songs, and their tonality does not match the song tentatively named "Bi Tian Ban Zou", the overall quality of the songs is still somewhat different.

At least Riki couldn't convince himself that he could surpass Ayano and Shoko.

"Also... should the wild cat part be changed? Never mind... let's just add it in for now."

Although she is not sure whether Lenai can come to practice and LIVE on time, some things must be done. At least she cannot give up without a reason.

However, her mind was too confused now. Feeling that she couldn't concentrate on composing music if she continued like this, Lixi pushed the chair away and fell onto the bed.

She picked up the phone next to the pillow and found that she had received two messages from Su Shi.

Xiao Deng seemed a little reluctant to go live today. Maybe she was still afraid we would leave her after the live?

However, after discussing this, everyone has managed to calm Xiao Deng down for the time being. Li Xi, when you come tomorrow, please make the same vow as us to never quit the team. Deng should really care about your opinion.

"..."

Looking at these two messages, Li Xi's brows were furrowed and never relaxed.

Did he ignore Deng's thoughts? But swearing or something... For some reason, Li Xi was very repulsed by what Su Shi just said.

If the oath worked, they wouldn't have left before.

Rather than saying it with her mouth, she was more accustomed to proving it with her actions, and... she had finally been able to hear the song of the lamp again, so how could she possibly run away.

After closing LINE, Lixi opened the YouTube app, thinking of relaxing and checking out some original music online. Of course... the videos pushed to her by the system were mostly rock music-related.

However, as she was scrolling, she suddenly found a video with some strange data.

The number of views is not bad, and the various data are basically short-term data that can only be achieved by videos released by well-known video bloggers, but the problem is that the number of followers is only more than 1000.

What kind of horrible new artist is this? Or is it... original music?

Putting on the Bluetooth headset, Lixi clicked on the song "Empty Box", the melody of which seemed to unexpectedly match her thoughts. The gentle yet powerful singing voice immediately made her eyes light up.

I have inspiration!

After listening to the whole song, Lixi jumped up from the bed and sat back in front of the computer.

Although he got the inspiration from this "Red Ginger" blogger, no matter what, Li Xi felt that he had found a glimmer of hope to fight against Ayano!

Chapter 75 You say you are not a 姛, but I think you are a 姛! (2/2)

The night was as dark as ink, quietly covering the apartment building called "Ikebukuro Mansion".

From afar, the buildings dotted with lights look like tiny stars, lying quietly in the silent night sky. Between the buildings, winding alleys are like thin threads in the darkness, connecting every light.

Oh no, the light connection was disconnected at one of the houses, and even the houses adjacent to it were quiet and empty.

It's like putting a period to a writing halfway through, but what is broken is not only the lights outside the house, but also the thoughts of the person inside the house, Toyokawa Shoko.

"... Really, telling me you're moving at this time.

Didn’t I move all this equipment for nothing today?!"

Xiangzi looked at the message sent by Ayano on her mobile phone. She couldn't tell whether she was resistant or happy. Compared with Aine's hostility towards her, Xiangzi actually didn't dislike Aine that much.

It's just that I had just finished everything today. I moved Ayano's recording, video and lighting equipment home and installed them. I finally had some free time to create a new song before the washing machine program ended, but I was interrupted by a message.

However, when Xiangzi looked at the crowded and messy living room, she felt that it was indeed necessary to move to a bigger house.

First of all, the electronic keyboard cannot be placed in Ayano's room, and it's not for any other reason, it's just that there is no room for it.

The piano is placed outside, and it is inconvenient if other equipment is not placed outside. So now the whole house does not look like a home at first glance when you enter from the entrance, but rather like a studio.

Shaking his head, Xiangzi felt that there was no need to think about these things now. Ayano also said that they would find people to help with the move. If she really had to do such hard work alone... then she might as well die.

Putting on headphones and turning on the noise reduction, Shoko Toyokawa began composing "Spring Day".

However, compared to the composition itself, what really made her feel difficult was the warm and beautiful style of music that the song required. As a composer, if she did not put herself into the emotions, she would definitely not be able to resonate with the audience and create a good melody.

But how could she put herself into the shoes of others?

There are indeed good memories, but can she return to the people she once was?

...So what is the meaning of Ayano writing this song?

Xiangzi was still wondering what the message Ayano sent him that day meant.

"Guess who I am?"

Because he was wearing headphones and was very focused, Xiangzi did not hear that Ayano had opened the door outside. It was not until his eyes were blindfolded that he realized someone was standing behind him.

"...Why are you so childish lately? Let go, I still have to work."

"is it?"

Ayano smiled. In fact, she was simply using the time when she blindfolded Xiangzi to drag the mouse to check the music score that had been created on the computer.

After she finished looking at the unfinished piece and let go of the piano, she sat directly on the piano bench beside her.

"The platform at Ikebukuro Station."

"At the ticket gate bathed in silver light, we talked about the past and our inner thoughts all night long."

Ayano played the piano and sang their song softly. Her voice was full of a narrative feeling, as if a beautiful story was told from her mouth to Xiangzi.

"No...you played it wrong."

"Really? Then you play it."

Ayano smiled, not really caring about being suddenly interrupted by Xiangzi. Instead, as if she had anticipated it, she moved a stool that Xiangzi usually used to sit and teach and placed it next to her.

"..."

Xiangzi felt a little helpless, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, Ayano had just taken a peek for a few seconds at most, so it was normal for her to feel unfamiliar with some things.

As a teacher, she has the responsibility and obligation to solve all problems of her students.

.......Music only.

"Actually, the accompaniment for this song is quite simple. Most of the time, you just need to repeat these chords. I plan to add some guitar strumming as a background to enhance the sound..."

“Aine’s presence?”

Shoko rolled his eyes. He now felt that Ayano was the one who had more malice towards Aine than himself. "Increase the overall saturation of the music a bit."

After saying that, Xiangzi stretched out his hand, placed it on the electronic keyboard and began to play, while Ayano also cooperated very well and sang along.

What Xiangzi herself did not expect was that Ayano beside her started to add some things to her own song while singing. For example, at the end of a line of lyrics, she reached out and played a few words on the electronic keyboard, as if responding to the emotion of the lyrics, or responding to her own melody.

In the end, I didn’t know whether it was intentional or accidental.

Ayano's hand crossed several octaves and directly touched her palm, and the closeness of her whole body made Xiangzi feel that the temperature around her had risen a few degrees.
