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

"...Who provoked her again?"

Ayano looked at Xiaoxiang, who was like an old mother, unhappily, shook her head, took a few bites of food, and typed a reply to Lixi:

If so, there's no need to worry too much.

If she really dislikes the band's atmosphere, then let her go. A band with someone who can't empathize won't last long.

[However, judging by Takki's description, your new friend probably still wants to experience the atmosphere of a live event. And rather than letting her continue to not understand the meaning of working hard, it's better to convince her with your dedication.]

【Convince her? 】

[Yeah, if she can give it her all while playing with you guys, doesn’t that just prove that you and your vocalist friend are right?]

[Maybe she'll even apologize and thank you later. After all, music never lies. As long as you're completely immersed in it, a simple remark about being unhappy won't seem to deny your perseverance.]

When Li Xi saw this passage, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, she can't beat that evil girl in a debate.

If you really walk up to that guy and ask him why he left that message, he will definitely have a hundred reasons to defend himself.

It would be better to ignore her for now and just continue practicing hard together. When Ayano is sweating on the stage with a happy smile on her face, wouldn't we win without even fighting?

No matter how eloquent Ayano is, does she have the nerve to deny herself?

It is easy for a person to deny others, but it is very difficult to deny himself.

As long as Ayano cannot deny that she is the kind of person she attacked, what choice does she have other than to apologize to Deng out of shame?

It is worthy of being the North Star.

Adults think a lot and have experienced a lot...they are different.

I really want to meet Sister Polaris in real life...

Chapter 82 Ayano didn't come? Hurry up and ask for help from the almighty North Star! (22 left)

"So, why do I need to take leave with you? And didn't we agree to just hire someone to move the furniture?"

Early in the morning, Xiangzi was woken up by Ayano who suddenly climbed onto his bed, and then told that he had a cold and could not go to school today.

No, this woman is getting more and more excessive now, right?

She made her own decision, what did she think she was?

Ayano's belongings?!

In anger, Xiangzi wanted to take this opportunity to ask Ayano to hand over the spare key to her room, as compensation for suddenly breaking into her room and scaring her.

But after Ayano actually handed it over, she realized... No, they were all moving, so there was no point in getting the spare key now?

"Because the reason I asked for leave from school was because I had a cold. It's normal for you to get infected by me since you live with me, right?"

"Huh? Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Is that a problem? And are you willing to let me do the cleaning by myself? If we can't move the big furniture, we can just pay someone to move it, but we can do things like tidying the house ourselves, right?"

"But the problem is that I still have to attend classes. Do you think everyone is like you...unlearned but skilled?"

At least a scholarship or something...she still needs it.

"That kind of thing isn't important. If you really care about it, I can temporarily be your tutor this afternoon to help you make up for the lessons you had today."

Seeing Ayano's relaxed demeanor and her nonchalant manner of speaking, Xiangzi became even more furious.

"Then why doesn't Aine ask for time off to come and help? You're clearly exploiting me maliciously!"

"Aine isn't as smart as you. She still needs to pay attention in class."

"..."

Although he felt a little happy to be praised, Xiangzi still felt that these were all lies told by Ayano with evil intentions.

But since it has come to this, Xiangzi, who has no room for resistance, gave up the idea of continuing to argue with Ayano. Besides... moving should take less than a day, and he can use the remaining time to rest at home for half a day, which seems not bad.

Xiangzi has been very busy these past two days. Between her studies, housework, teaching and creation, she is really overwhelmed.

The only good news is that her students are very worry-free, and both teaching and creating are not that difficult.

Moreover, Ayano has good living habits, and her family is not particularly good at creating garbage like her father.

In fact, apart from having to endure the shame and give each other a full body massage, other housework is not a very high-intensity task.

Not long after breakfast, the movers Ayano had called knocked on the door. With the help of four people, they basically cleared out all the belongings in the house.

Clothes and other things were packed directly into the suitcase, and daily necessities, both his own and Ayano's, were stuffed into the cardboard box.

Other valuables were also placed separately, and the larger ones were entrusted to the movers, which took about an hour in total.

Although the new home was located upstairs, Xiangzi and Ayano were sweating after running up and down the stairs several times.

"Thank you very much, have some water."

Ayano smiled and thanked the big brothers. While paying them today's wages, she took out a bottle of mineral water that was just taken out of the refrigerator and was still a little cool and handed it to each person.

After exchanging a few polite words with these people and watching them leave one after another, Ayano looked back at Xiangzi, who was lying on the sofa in a daze, and shook her head with amusement.

The little girl's physical fitness is poor. She started pretending to be dead after doing such a small thing.

Although...she herself wasn't that good either. After all, the only subject Ayano wasn't very good at was physical education.

Whether in junior high or high school, her physical education test scores were always in the middle of the class, and it was the only subject that she could not dominate.

This was mainly because Ayano was incredibly lazy. She could use her brain, but she was a bit reluctant to move her body. However, she wasn't frail, and while her endurance wasn't as strong as someone with a strong body, her explosive power was still quite strong.

"Rest for a while and try to clean up the house before lunch."

"...Are you a devil?"

"It's okay. When you're really exhausted, go take a shower. If you can't do that, I can scrub your back."

"Don't even think about it." Xiangzi glared at Ayano fiercely, then stood up in a huff. "Where do we start?"

"Of course we have to move the things first. There are so many cardboard boxes..."

"……All right."

Although he complained, Xiangzi still started to tidy up and clean very efficiently.

But after she put all the kitchen utensils in place, she looked at Ayano's perfect profile as she swept the floor in the living room. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked:

"Do you know Takasugi Aki?"

"Who is that?"

"They said it was from your fan club... Never mind, it doesn't matter if you don't know. You'll know when the time comes anyway."

"Is that so?" Ayano raised her eyebrows, but didn't care too much.

But speaking of this so-called fan club, she was indeed approached by the deputy leader during her lunch break yesterday and asked a somewhat strange question.

Could it be that these little girls are really going to cause trouble and make me work overtime?

Rolling her eyes, Ayano shook her head and continued with the work at hand.

........

"lamp……"

In the classroom, when Aiyin passed by Xiaodeng, she noticed that she kept her head down and avoided him.

His own sight.

Her weak and helpless look makes people feel distressed.

After calling the other person's name, she didn't get any further response. After thinking for a while, Aiyin could only prepare the textbooks for the next class.

Time passed slowly, until the last class of the afternoon ended, and finally Aine found the opportunity to stand in front of Deng.

"Deng, Ayano asked me to tell you that she's sorry about that comment."

"Ayano-chan?"

Seeing that Deng was finally willing to respond to her, Aine breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he explained on behalf of his friend, "Ayano actually wanted to tell you in person, but she... is on sick leave today."

Damn it, why did she help Ayano to lie?

And looking at the worried look on Xiao Deng's face at this moment, Aine really felt like she was nothing. How could she have the nerve to lie to such a cute Xiao Deng!

"Ayano, is she sick? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it should be fine tomorrow..." Aiyin said perfunctorily, just wanting to quickly skip this topic, "She asked me to tell you that she is actually very grateful to Xiao Deng.

Although I don't quite understand what Ayano meant, her original words were...'Just tell Xiao Deng that I used to envy her, but now I don't envy her anymore, because I have found my own position and understand the reason and meaning of Deng's hard work.'"

"envious……"

Deng clasped his hands together, and recalled in his mind the words that Ayano had said to him seriously when they walked out of the planetarium that day.

At this moment, that overly harsh criticism didn't seem so harsh anymore.

She didn't know whether it was because it was Ayano who said that, or because through the interactions over the past few days, she realized that her desperate efforts were no longer a shortcoming in Ayano's eyes.

If time could go back to her first stage performance, she might... still face it with the same attitude, right?

"Aine-chan."

"Ok?"

"Even though Ayano-chan can't come, let's still go practice together, with everyone."

"Of course~"

15 minute later.

Riki, who had been thinking all night about how to face Ayano, looked at Aine and Deng who came in, and heard from Aine the reason why Ayano did not come.

For a moment she was stunned.

Sick? I knew it was just an excuse. He was deliberately trying not to see her.

...She was a little panicked.

Li Xi took out his cell phone, but sent a message not to Ayano, but to Polaris.

[North Star Sister, my keyboard player friend... seems to be really angry with me.]

[What should I do?]

Chapter 83 Lixi, is your face cramping? (1/2)

On a quiet afternoon, sunlight shines through the curtains onto the desk, and the interweaving of light and shadow reveals the figures of two young girls.

Miss Mizushima Ayano with long brown hair sat quietly next to the blue-haired girl with twin tails, Toyokawa Shoko, explaining her lessons to her attentively.

She held a pencil in her hand, her slender fingers sliding deftly across the paper, and from time to time she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her movements were gentle and natural, revealing a hint of charm.

"Do you understand?"

"……Um."

Xiangzi looked a little absent-minded.

Her eyes were erratic, sometimes staring at the book, sometimes glancing at the brown-haired girl, a faint blush appearing on her face.

She didn't know why she was blushing. It might be because the temperature in the room was a little stuffy, or it might be because Ayano's breathing was too close to her and too close, and the rhythm caused Xiangzi to start breathing faster as well.

"Well, you big-headed ghost, why don't you solve the problem I gave you?" Ayano hit Xiangzi's head with her head in annoyance, then grabbed Xiangzi's little hand and stuffed the pencil in her hand into it.

After the pencil made a few scraping sounds on the paper, Xiangzi finally completed today's extremely arduous one-on-one class by reversing the roles of teacher and student.

But you know what, it's actually more efficient for her to be guided by a genius like Ayano than to listen to the teacher in class.

Xiangzi even had the absurd idea that he might as well not go to class anymore.

Of course, the biggest problem with doing this is that it is impossible to meet the most basic attendance requirements for scholarship assessment.

"That's all for today, it's almost time."

Ayano stood up from her chair and glanced at the time. Aine and the others were probably already at RiNG by now.

It wouldn't make much difference if she didn't go for one day. On the one hand, she took a day off today just to save time to take care of these things at home. On the other hand, she also wanted to stand Li Xi up.

Ayano was quite curious about how Riki would react when he found out that she had come up with such a fake excuse for absence.
