In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Although Chen Xinghua felt that this thing was not very important, even if the "performance" was not achieved, the worst that could happen was that he would spend money to make up for his share later.

However, he only planned to make up for his and Goto Ichiri's share, and not the "performance" of the entire band.

Because the Ending Band is everyone's band, not just his band.

The responsibility of the band should be shouldered by everyone together, rather than just one person carrying it all.

Only a band like this can last long.

"I bought some strawberries and chocolates. Let's eat them together and then I'll help you with your homework."

Chen Xinghua opened the bag he had just brought up and took out a box of chocolates and a box of strawberries wrapped in plastic wrap with cold water stains on them.

"Don't forget to leave some for Erli."

(Your childhood sweetheart is so kind to you... Leave some strawberries for me, I want some too.)

"Goto Ichiri" said in Goto Ichiri's heart.

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was pinching the small strawberry in his hands and carefully putting it into his mouth, Chen Xinghua raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Come to think of it, it seems that Aine and Rakuna will definitely come to watch the Ending Band’s live performance.

How about promoting it to Deng, Lixi and Sushi before the band’s live performance and see if they want to come and see the band’s live performance?

Chen Xinghua thought about this behavior and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

Is there anything wrong with having your friends come to your band's performance?

...Indeed, there is nothing wrong with that.

Chapter 133 Relationships need to be maintained.

In the afternoon, the temperature in the city became increasingly hot, evaporating the sweat on the bodies of pedestrians, making their mouths increasingly dry.

At this time, a coffee shop that provides customers with cool air conditioning and drinks with lots of ice is definitely the best choice.

But now Chen Xinghua can only enjoy one of the services because he is sitting at a table outdoors under a giant parasol.

His target at this time, Riki Shiina, was sitting opposite him.

Why did he come here? Shiina Riki frowned. Was he here to talk to me about the band? Did he think the music I composed last time was too intense for the keyboardist, or did he think I was putting too much pressure on him?

...No matter what, the job at hand must be done well.

"Why did you call me out?"

Shiina Riki's tone became increasingly stressed.

Chen Xinghua did not answer Shiina Riki immediately, but took a sip of the iced mango juice he had just ordered and exhaled a breath of cold air with the smell of mango.

Chen Xinghua's behavior made Shiina Riki's already frowned brows even more furrowed.

"If you want to hold a live show, when do you think is the best time to do it?"

"what……"

Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment. Why would this guy take the initiative to mention the Live? She had previously thought that this guy was a slacker who really liked to slack off.

"Next two weeks."

"...A senior from RING said that because a band dropped out midway through, there's a ten-minute window between the Poppin' Party and Afterglow joint live performances over the next two weeks, so we should be able to sing a couple of songs."

"We're just short of a warm-up band... How about it? Any questions?"

This was a big problem. Chen Xinghua took another sip of the mango juice he had not finished yet, trying to cool his body down.

"There are big problems."

After swallowing the remaining fruit pulp in his mouth, he stretched out two fingers towards Shiina Riki.

“Generally speaking, the warm-up band has to have at least two songs… you have a few songs on hand.”

There is only one song "Bi Tian Ban Zou" which is still being revised, and another song "Spring Shadow" which was made before "CRYCHIC" disbanded.

So if the current Shiina Riki wants the band to go on stage as a warm-up band, she has to let Deng's unnamed band play the two songs "Bi Tian Ban Zou" and "Haruhi Shadow".

This was based on the fact that Deng's band was able to finish rehearsing "Walking with the Blue Sky" (the score of which had not yet been revised) and "Spring Shadow" (which had not yet been practiced for many performances) at an unrealistic speed within two weeks.

This is the requirement for a professional band, not for an ordinary high school band.

For an average high school band, if they can finish rehearsing songs that can be performed at the school festival before the festival, they are already a very remarkable high school band.

"One song is 'Azure Sky Companion' and another is 'Shadow of Spring'. However, 'Shadow of Spring' cannot be played, so the only song left is 'Azure Sky Companion'."

"Spring Shadow" must not be played, because it directly touches the scars deep in Su Shi's heart...

The disbandment of "CRYCHIC".

Now Chen Xinghua finally understood why Su Shi didn't let him play "Spring Shadow" before.

"why?"

Shiina Riki was very confused, "Why can't we play "Kasuga Shadow"?"

This guy's last name is neither Nagasaki nor Su Shi.

So that's why he didn't want to play "Haruhi Shadow".

"Because of Sushi."

Chen Xinghua placed his hands on the table and looked into Shiina Riki's somewhat irritable purple eyes. "Don't you know that your teammates don't want to play 'Haruhi no Kage'?"

Based on the message Su Shi sent last night...it can be seen that she plans to move forward.

But I'm not some big bald guy who can control your mind. Just a talk therapy can make Su Shi forget all the memories of "CRYCHIC" in his heart. It's like he was brainwashed and he is wholeheartedly ready to devote his life to Deng's nameless band.

...It's just a high school band. I don't think you'd want to dedicate your entire life to it.

If it really reaches this level, it would be a bit too heavy.

Looking at Shiina Riki's increasingly irritable purple eyes, Chen Xinghua shook his thigh and put his right leg on top of his left leg.

Besides, judging from Yisushi’s performance last night, she just gave up the idea of ​​reviving “CRYCHIC”, not that she completely forgot about “CRYCHIC”.

She still misses "CRYCHIC."

At this time, don't use other things to stimulate her.

And playing "Spring Shadow" is undoubtedly an act of exposing her scars.

After the performance, she might have thought, 'This is the 'Haruhi Shadow' that doesn't belong to 'CRYCHIC'.

Just think about it and you will know that this is a very hellish scene.

Although it shouldn't explode.

But it is certain that it will lay a minefield for the band of lights.

When you do something for the band that makes others unhappy, it naturally reduces their sense of belonging to the band. Isn't that a natural thing?

Su Shi is not a masochist.

The more she is pushed, the more she feels a sense of belonging to the band.

Besides, why would you step on a landmine for no reason? Are you trying to test your friendship?

And friendship needs to be maintained, not tested.

"what……"

Shiina Riki snorted at Chen Xinghua, "Why should we worry about that guy?"

"Because Su Shi is a teammate."

Chen Xinghua placed his left leg on top of his right leg again. "If the band wants to survive, how can we not consider the feelings of our teammates?"

"...Deng wants to form a lifelong band, but he doesn't consider the feelings of his teammates. How can he form a lifelong band?"

Chen Xinghua brought up the target of the lamp again.

“Relationships between people must be maintained.”

The relationship between Aiyin and the band needs to be maintained. We cannot only give her negative feedback without giving her positive feedback.

But doesn’t Su Shi’s relationship with the band also need to be maintained? Chen Xinghua thought so.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that for Nagasaki Motoyo, the feeling the band gave her was the same as that given to Aine.

In the process of joining Deng's band, Su Shi seemed to have only received negative feedback, just like Aine, and no positive feedback.

Long-term high-pressure practice is negative feedback, and arguing with Li Xi about not playing "Spring Shadow" several times before practice is negative feedback.

But positive feedback...is there any?

Chen Xinghua frowned.

Li Xi has the same problem. It seems that she has only been worried about the negative feedback from the band practice, and has never received any positive feedback from the success of the live performance.

Chapter 134 What is the difference between ordinary and taken for granted.

So what about Deng, and what about Lena... Let's not talk about Lena for now, she should have received a lot of Matcha Buffet from the band, which is definitely positive feedback.

Shiina Riki held the milk tea and knocked on the table suddenly.

"what on earth do you want?"

"You're pretending to be on the other side of the light... you just don't want to participate in the Live."

"Deng said he wanted to hold a live show for the rest of his life."

"So what is your purpose?"

Chen Xinghua's tone was different from his usual calmness. It was filled with a hint of impatience. "Why do you really want to hold a live performance?"

"Deng didn't set up a band just to give live shows or to form a band for life. She just wanted to make lifelong friends."

With his hands placed on the white fence table to support the gravity of his body, Chen Xinghua's tone became calmer at this time, no longer carrying the previous impatience.

"Have you figured out what Deng really wants?"

After realizing that his emotions had inadvertently entered his tone, Chen Xinghua spent two sentences to calm himself down.

Emotions such as irritability, tension, and anxiety are of no help in solving problems.

So you have to calm down.

It’s difficult for everyone, so we need to be considerate of each other so that we can form a band instead of breaking it up.

"As long as I can achieve that goal, it doesn't matter if I play in a studio band for the rest of my life."

Chen Xinghua's tone became as calm as usual.

Deng definitely didn't intend to form a professional band at the beginning, which can be seen from the fact that she casually invited Aiyin to join the band.

Because according to probability theory, is it more likely that a high school guitarist picked up from the street is a rookie guitarist who can't even tell the difference between a multi-string bass and a guitar, or is it more likely that he is a guitar hero?

I'm afraid it's not the latter.

"what."

Shiina Riki blew at Chen Xinghua and said, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm working hard for the goal of Deng."

"We are scattered like a pile of sand, and we must have a goal to move forward."

“If we don’t have a goal, we’ll stay where we are and never be able to move forward.”

"You're avoiding the keyboard, aren't you? You're avoiding the keyboard... You've been slacking off with Aine and Rina even though we only have practice time. Do you want to go live?"

"Every time you come to practice, you don't really focus on practicing, do you?"

Listening to Shiina Riki's words, Chen Xinghua couldn't help but pinch the tip of his left index finger.

Seeing the fleeting unfriendly expression on Chen Xinghua's face, Shiina Riki relaxed for a moment, and then after this moment of relaxation, a serious look crept onto her face again.

Uh, did I say too much?

But for Tatsuki Shiina, expressing apologies is not her forte.

"But no matter what, the band will definitely not be able to perform live in the next two weeks."
