Chapter 0 General Nagasaki issues order to allow the champagne opening ceremony (2/2)

Wearing headphones, Lixi stopped focusing on the awkward guitar in the background, because with the duet between Polaris and Vega, the song with its catchy melody and moving lyrics had left Lixi with no energy to think about other issues.

She felt the huge gap that could not be crossed.

Although the style is different from the previous song, the lyrics are as high-quality as ever. The sense of life and warmth between the words are undoubtedly from the hands of Sister Polaris.

When she listened to this song, she paid close attention to the meaning of every word of the lyrics. After just one listen, her mind was filled with many perfect lives that she felt were extremely beautiful and that she longed for.

Friends, lovers, confidants... all of them are by my side. Only someone who is passionate about life and good at discovering the beauty in others can write such a picture, right?

Then there's the problem with the song. No... I should say there's no problem with the song at all.

Originally, Li Xi was worried that if someone else wrote the music for this song, it might not be worthy of Polaris's musical talent and such good lyrics. But after listening to the whole song, her doubts were immediately dispelled.

This is a whole, an indivisible whole.

It's so good that it feels like it was created by the same person. If Li Xi were the North Star, he would probably express his sincere feelings to the composer directly:

This song is exactly what she wanted.

It can be said... that at my level, I can't compare to him at all.

Although their singing skills are not up to the top level, this flaw cannot conceal the talents of Polaris and Vega. It is as if they are stars in the sky that cannot be ignored, just like their stage names. You can always find their place in the night sky.

It’s this Sirius... It’s really shameless to name yourself after one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

Of course, Lixi felt that she shouldn't jump to such a conclusion. After all, there was no more information to rely on. She had no way of knowing whether Sirius had any other talents besides his not-so-good guitar playing.

For example... write a song too?

"Ding~"

Li Xi took off his headphones and heard a notification tone from his cell phone.

However, when she reached out to take it, she found that before the new reply from Polaris, Ayano had actually replied to her while she was listening to music.

[receive. ]

"……Gone?"

But at least it ended with a period, which is still a bit polite... What the hell!

It's really infuriating! What kind of attitude is this?!

Lixi kept swiping the screen downwards, trying to see if she had a network delay and didn't receive the following message, but no matter what she did, she could only see the single message "Received" on the phone screen.

how to say?

Although words like "received" are basically a polite response from subordinates to their superiors' instructions, in a way, it can be said that Li Xi has gained some small advantages.

But this cold and formulaic reply still made Li Xi feel that his previous behavior of flattering others and pretending to be a good person was a bit ridiculous.

"Never mind, as long as they can come, Ayano doesn't seem like the type to break her promise. I hope Wildcat can come tomorrow, too. Really... they're all so troublesome!"

Li Xi picked up the cup of water on the table and took two gulps. He slammed the cup down and suppressed the nameless anger in his heart.

Oh yes, Polaris also replied.

After reopening his phone and clicking on the Polaris chat window, Li Xi saw a long string of enthusiastic replies:

[I saw Takki's work. I was busy editing the video recently, so I'm sorry I didn't reply to you right away. However, I've listened to the new song and it's really good.]

[Although the piano part was not recorded, the other parts were very good. Compared with the demo Takki sent me last night, it sounds more than a little bit better. I look forward to his future works~]

This gentle and enthusiastic attitude is so much better than someone else's!

However, in the face of such praise, Li Xi didn't feel very happy in his heart.

She was not so confused as to know her true level. Although her song was acceptable in terms of completion, its quality was not as good as the two songs of "Red Ginger", nor as good as Xiangzi's previous song "Haruhi Shadow", and it could not compete with Ayano.

In front of a true genius, simple efforts are actually not enough to keep up, let alone this kind of... literary and artistic creation that requires inspiration.

I feel like I still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm not completely satisfied with this song yet.

If it was in front of other people, Li Xi would not want to say this, but in front of a stranger

She had no need to hide anything in front of netizens.

[In fact, no one can do the best at the beginning. Taking the first step is much more valuable than thinking you can do it perfectly and then trying again.]

Ok?

Why does this sentence sound so familiar? Hmm... Oh right, Ayano said the same thing.

My friend also said what you just said, Polaris. It feels like... you two are actually quite similar in some ways. But she's also very talented, and I... really envy her.

[But in my opinion, Takki, you also have your own talents. At least not everyone can complete a complete song after a few months of self-study.

Besides, inspiration is something very mysterious, so one song doesn't mean anything. Who knows, maybe you'll write a classic that no one can surpass.]

Really…

A helpless smile appeared on Lixi's face. Although she knew that this was just a consolation, she was indeed very happy.

Thank you, North Star...

...

The next morning.

Li Xi stood at the door of RiNG on time, waiting for the arrival of other members anxiously.

"Lixi, you're here so early."

"You're too slow!" Li Xi frowned and said with some dissatisfaction at Su Shi, who seemed to be taking today's live broadcast lightly. "Where are they?"

"It should be coming soon..."

Su Shi felt relieved when she saw Li Xi, who was very resistant to forming a band at the beginning but now went to such lengths for Xiao Deng.

This is... the empire she built for Xiangzi.

Well, actually, the main reason is that Su Shi felt that Xiao Deng and Li Xi had returned to their previous state.

Although Ayano was indeed a little hurt by what happened the day before yesterday, but inexplicably... Riki comforted herself.

It seems that even goddess luck is on her side.

Aine, who is not to be feared, the wild cat that disappears at any time, and finally Ayano, who makes her hesitant the most and is not easy to deal with, is now on the verge of leaving the group at any time.

Even if Ayano came today, given her personality, she would definitely not be able to concentrate on playing because of Riki. When Xiangzi saw this from the audience, he would understand that everyone is ready and urgently needs her return.

If you didn't come...

Wouldn't that be better?

The whole song becomes a bit weird because of the absence of the keyboardist. Doesn't this further highlight the need for Xiangzi in their team?

And yesterday she had already confirmed with Xiaomu that Xiangzi would indeed come to watch the LIVE today.

hum...

It seems that today will be a special day worth remembering~

Chapter 91: The Righteous Support Group Would Never Do Anything to Destroy the Band! (1/2)

"Captain, I have already bought the bouquet of flowers I prepared."

"Hmm...why is it pink? Are you sure Mizushima-sama would like this?"

As the leader of the fan club, Furuhashi Misaki looked at the pink roses held in the hands of Takasugi Aki, one of her subordinate members, and always felt that the bouquet of this color did not suit the noble Lord Mizushima.

However, after hearing the other party repeatedly assure her that his information was reliable, Furuhashi Misaki no longer cared about it.

"I've already contacted my family and made arrangements in advance. The band behind Mizushima-sama will be given about three minutes of free time at today's live performance. This way, at least others won't think Mizushima-sama is just here to make up the numbers."

"Great, Captain. You are so reliable."

"Wow, it's a pity that I can't hear Mizushima-sama sing in person, otherwise I would definitely record it and use it as an alarm clock."

"Asshole! Are you trying to ruin Mizushima-sama's singing by acting as an alarm clock?!"

"Everyone, be quiet." Furuhashi Misaki looked at the several members in front of her who seemed to be having trouble thinking, and felt a huge pressure. "Mizushima-sama and the others should go to RiNG's backstage this afternoon to do sound checks and adjust the equipment.

But in order not to disturb them, we decided to wait until the show officially started in the evening to go and watch it.”

"Huh? I thought I'd see Mizushima-sama by now."

"..." Furuhashi Misaki stared at the members who were starting to lose their minds and said calmly, "Also, although all of our fan club members will be watching the event live this time, no one is allowed to cheer from the bottom."

"Why?!"

Hearing such an unreasonable request, several important members became somewhat dissatisfied.

"I've already said that we need to be Lady Mizushima's invisible shield. Given her personality, she definitely wouldn't want to see us do anything too enthusiastic down there, and that would undoubtedly cause unbalanced thoughts among the other band members.

So everyone just needs to watch quietly and don’t disturb the normal progress of the LIVE.

And when giving flowers, we have to wait until they leave the stage and go backstage. Once again, we are rational fans!

I will absolutely not do anything foolish that would affect Mizushima-sama himself or destroy the unity of his band!"

"The captain is right!"

“We are righteous!!!”

...

"Everyone is here."

At the same time, in the recording studio where everyone was already present, Li Xi looked at the five people in front of him and spoke lightly.

Because it was a last-minute appointment, the recording studio provided for them to practice today was much smaller, and the six people standing together looked obviously crowded.

This meant that the distance between Li Xi, who was sitting in front of the drum set, and Ayano, who was sitting in front of the electronic keyboard, was the closest among the others. Seeing the expressionless face of the other party, Li Xi wanted to say something, but the words condensed into one sentence:

"No matter what, let's wait until the LIVE is over."

After hearing this, Ayano looked up at Li Xi in surprise. This look made Li Xi feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was treated as a weirdo.

What's wrong? Can't she just talk normally?!

However, the Ayano in front of him showed a faint smile the next moment. There was no mockery in the smile, only a gentle reply:

"Okay, come on."

Sure enough, good emotions can infect a person in a bad mood, and the advice Polaris gave her was indeed very good advice.

Li Xi was just thinking about this sentence in her heart, and she didn't realize that the person who was infected was not Mizushima Ayano sitting opposite her, but herself who was infected by Ayano's gentle smile.

With confidence and her inner anxiety almost gone, she felt that there was nothing to worry about in this LIVE.

Besides, this isn't her first time on stage, is it?

"Then let's begin the final practice."

Very good... Aine is quite familiar with these two songs, needless to say, "Shiori", which she practiced the longest, and she can hardly hear any major problems.

As for the song "Bi Tian Ban Zou", although the flaws are obvious when playing it alone, there is no need to worry about them now... At least, in the ensemble state, Ai Yin's stumbling can be covered up by other parts.

Still can't ask for too much...

No, no, no, this is already very good. It shows that Aine has huge room for improvement that no one else has.

As long as each time gets better than the last, you will always reach a better stage.

Not to mention a top-notch supporting talent like Lenai. The guitar solo after the first chorus made Lixi want to stand up and pound the pick.

Apart from the guitarist, Su Shi's performance as the bassist has also improved a lot compared to before. At least after Li Xi made that criticism, he was obviously much more serious when playing together today.

Ayano is actually the one who doesn't need to worry about the least. Perhaps the only thing to worry about is... whether such an overly talented person can really immerse herself in the LIVE that will follow.

But at least now Li Xi can feel the weight of music from the sound of the piano.

Finally, it was the singing of the lead singer Xiao Deng. The voice that burst out from that small body was clear and crisp, and every word of the lyrics was the best encouragement to everyone. It also made Li Xi have a smile on his face when he played the drums, and his eyes became more determined when he looked at Deng's back.

"How's it going...it should be okay, right?"

After rehearsing the two songs, the first person to stand up and speak was Aine, who was still a little nervous. When she said this, she glanced in Li Xi's direction.

Seeing the other person nod towards her, Aine finally felt relieved.

"But it can be better, ah... this is fine for this time."

Has this guy not been taking the right medicine these past two days?
