I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

What's with that weird nickname? And you have a problem with my proposal, right? Su Shi was madly complaining about Aine in her heart, and her impression of Aine continued to plummet.

At this time, Qing said, "Now that we are here, Deng and her friends should have something to say. Aiyin, if you are worried, I can take you home later."

The tall girl said this in a very human way, but why do you keep looking away from my face? Su Shi always felt that Qing was very rude to her, so even though Qing was speaking for her, she didn't give her any extra points.

"No, that's not necessary. I'll just send a message to my mom." Aiyin took out her cell phone and started typing a text message.

"Let's go, Xiao Deng." Su Shi invited Deng with a smile.

Although Deng didn't express any feelings about whether to go upstairs and sit down to chat during this conversation, somehow her thoughts no longer mattered.

So the four of them came to the reception room, found a small round table with four seats and sat down. In order to avoid seeing Su Shi's face laughing, Qing sat next to Su Shi, and asked Ain to sit opposite him. This way, there would be no problem as long as he kept staring at Ain. Deng sat opposite Su Shi, which was a more suitable position for the two of them to talk.

When ordering, Su Shi smiled and said, "I'm familiar with this place. If you don't know what to order, I can recommend it to you."

Aine's eyes lit up when she heard that. She put her fingers together and asked with an expectant expression, "Um... can you please tell me what you recommend?"

Su Shi suggested with a smile, "Just call me Su Shi. I don't know if you prefer tea or juice. If you like tea, I recommend hot Earl Grey tea. I drink this all the time."

Aine responded to Suyo in a friendly and enthusiastic manner, "Suyo-san, my name is Aine. Thank you for your recommendation. I'll order this. Actually, I didn't like the bitter taste of tea before, but I've been drinking tea lately and it's no problem anymore."

Su Shi smiled and nodded in response, but she had no intention of continuing the conversation with Aine. She turned her head to look at Qing and asked, "Does this classmate need help with a recommendation?"

Qing stared at the menu without looking up, but refused: "No, I have already decided what to order, I didn't expect that they even have this... I want ginger and red date tea."

"Qingqing, you're drinking this? It doesn't sound very tasty..." Aiyin, who was already very familiar with Qing, didn't worry that she would get angry by ruining her show, so she complained directly.

Qing still looked like he was studying the menu and said, "Drinking this is good for your body. It can drive away the cold and replenish your blood. You can also try it, Aine, especially when you are not feeling well."

Su Shi no longer wanted to complain about Qing for studying the menu after he had already decided what to order, and also about this pink-haired girl who was too good at taking advantage of others and was a little too familiar.

But Su Shi still maintained a friendly smile and said to the waiter: "That's two cups of hot Earl Grey tea and one cup of ginger and red date tea. For Xiao Deng, it's..."

However, Qing interrupted Su Shi at this time. She glanced at Deng and asked, "What do you think of the milk coffee you drank last time?"

Deng was stopped by Su Shi at first, and looked up at Su Shi in panic, but after being interrupted by Qing, he looked at Qing again, and his mood settled down. He nodded and said: "I think it tastes good... It feels familiar and reassuring..."

Qing closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Then I'd like another cup of milk coffee."

Under the table, Su Shi clenched his fists. He clearly had the impression that Deng should like mocha coffee, so why would this irritating person order milk coffee for Deng first? The key point was that Deng looked like he had no problem ordering it.

"Liu Zeqing, this is my name, you can call me whatever you want."

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted Su Shi's secret anger. Qing leaned on the back of the chair, folded her arms and closed her eyes, but it was obvious that the cold voice just now belonged to her.

Su Shi felt that the rhythm of the conversation was constantly interrupted by this girl named Yanagisawa Ao, but she quickly reacted and said, "Okay, nice to meet you, Aine, Ao, I'm Nagasaki Su Shi, a former friend of Deng. I'm studying in Tsuki no Mori now, so please take care of me. Thank you for taking care of Deng all the time, it's hard work."

Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. What is this? A declaration of sovereignty?

Qing looked straight at Aine who was sitting opposite him and said, "This is me. Thank you for taking care of our lead singer before."

Qing emphasized the words "before" and "lead singer", which made Su Shi realize that Deng was actually playing in a band with others. She secretly gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and stomped her feet subconsciously, but she happened to kick Aine's foot.

“Huh?” Although Aine felt like she was kicked, the people in front of her, one smiling, one expressionless, one at a loss, were totally unlike the way someone who kicked someone should behave. Aine also realized the inexplicably tense atmosphere, swallowed her saliva, shrank her neck and dared not say anything, like a husky that accidentally entered a cage of wild animals.

Su Shi rubbed his fingers, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he looked at Deng with a sense of oppression and said, "I see, Deng started playing in a band again, with people other than crychic."

When Deng heard Su Shi mention Crychic, she shrank her neck and did not dare to respond to Su Shi. She felt guilty towards the members of Crychic because she felt that it was her poor singing that led to the disbandment of Crychic.

Qing stared into Aine's eyes and said pointedly, "A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. I heard that Deng was accused of lack of practice in his previous band. It just so happens that we are forming a happy band, so Deng doesn't need to practice too hard. We can just play happily in the band together."

Aiyin was a little confused and thought, you two just want to fight each other, why are you staring at me and Deng?

Luckily, the ordered drinks were delivered at this time. Aiyin drank a sip of tea without even adding sugar, and unexpectedly found that the sweetness of this hot gray was acceptable.

Su Shi didn't know how to respond to Qing's words for a moment, and could only drink a sip of tea to think about how to respond. She was still shocked that Deng Hui even told them the most embarrassing thing in the crychic period. How important were these two people to Deng.

Su Shi knew that Deng was the one who was hurt the most by the disbandment of crychic, otherwise she would not have disappeared after Xiangzi left. So although Su Shi has not been able to find Deng, she has never worried that Deng would be as indifferent to crychic as Li Xi was, but reality gave her a hard slap in the face.

Su Shi looked at Qing and Aine. Were these two the ones who made Deng put down crychic and decide to form a band again?

That won't do. We can't let these two people completely break up the crychic family. Xiangzi just didn't communicate well with everyone before. Her problem can definitely be solved after sitting down and talking it out. The others just didn't come because they couldn't practice.

But these two people are extremely evil. They actually took advantage of Crychic's internal instability to steal people. We must not let them succeed.

But it seems that Deng has already joined their band. It seems that it is too late to use ordinary methods. We have to think of a roundabout way to save the situation.

Putting down the teacup, Su Shi rubbed her fingers, and a bold plan gradually emerged in her mind.

--------

Well, generally speaking, if it is divided into two chapters, one of the chapters will be updated after 12 o'clock, so those of you who don't like to stay up late don't have to wait.

22 Lip prints, configuration, natural enemies

Inside RING, in front of the notice board recruiting band members, Aine stood alone in front of the notice board, looking at the notice posted there with a somewhat depressed look.

If there was one reason why Aine was here, it was only because she drank her tea too fast.

Time goes back to a few minutes ago. Aine couldn't get a word in with the conversation between Qing and Su Shi, so she kept using smiles and drinking tea to hide her embarrassment and relieve stress.

But after Aiyin finished her tea, Qing actually said to Aiyin: "Since Aiyin has finished her tea, let's go and see if there are any suitable people to recruit. You haven't forgotten the purpose of our coming here, right?"

Aiyin originally wanted Qing to go with her to see it, but Qing was obviously too engrossed in the confrontation with Su Shi, and told Aiyin to come here first, saying that her tea was not finished yet and could not be wasted.

"I feel like I was kicked out... Although Qing may not want me to be embarrassed there, I still feel uncomfortable!"

Aine sighed, and after carefully browsing the recruitment information, she became even more depressed.

“Why are they all guitarists?”

……

On the other side, Su Shi smiled and looked at Qing, and said, "So you came to RING to recruit band members. I wonder what your band members are like? I am also an experienced person, so I can give you some advice."

“Although Aine didn’t say what position she will play, I guess it should be guitar. Deng is the lead singer, and I am also the guitarist. In other words, there is one lead singer and two guitars. It doesn’t look like a configuration that can recruit people, right?”

Qing still didn't turn around, staring at Aine's empty seat and answered Su Shi. But after all, there was nothing to see in Aine's empty seat, so Qing stared at the empty teacup that Aine had drunk from, and could vaguely see the faint lip prints on the rim of the cup. Qing's eyes were firmly attracted to the rim of the cup, not because it was so beautiful, but because there was nothing else to see.

Su Shi made a embarrassed expression, thinking that it was indeed difficult to find people for this configuration, but he also felt relieved, because this way his plan could be carried out smoothly.

So Su Shi said in a comforting tone: "But if you lower your expectations a little and wait patiently, you will definitely find the right person in the end. Just take your time."

Qing looked at the lip print on the rim of Aine's teacup, which was shining brighter and brighter under the warm light, and said casually, "We are not in a hurry, and we don't have any requirements for new members. As long as their personalities are compatible, it doesn't matter if they are complete novices."

"Is that so?" Su Shi looked at Deng, as if asking for Deng's opinion, but Deng just nodded slightly.

Su Shi put down the teacup, looked down at his reflection in the tea, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Xiao Deng, Xiao Qing, I have a proposal. Would you like to consider me for your band? I haven't seen Xiao Deng since that day, and I finally saw Xiao Deng again today. I have always been worried about Xiao Deng, so I am very happy to see Xiao Deng cheer up and start playing in the band again. No one wants to see something like that happen, and I was very hurt afterwards. Now a new opportunity is in front of me, and I also want to start over. This time, Deng and I must continue to form a band."

Su Shi clenched his fists nervously and placed them on the table, leaning forward and asking, "So, can I join you? I can be a bassist. I've never had any conflicts with my teammates in crychic or in the wind band activities I participated in at school. I think I won't have any problems in your band."

Su Shi's words seemed very sincere. She didn't know whether this sincere repentance and self-recommendation would move Qing, but she knew that these words would definitely move Deng.

"Xiao Sushi..." Deng was indeed very moved, but he finally looked at Qing, "I think it would be great if Xiao Sushi could join... What does Xiao Qing think?"

Qing naturally heard the little trick behind Su Shi's words just now. For example, she said that she wanted to form a band with Deng, but she didn't mention Qing and Aine. Qing knew exactly who she wanted to form a band with.

However, Qing did not want to make it difficult for Su Shi to join the team. After all, Su Shi would join the team anyway. However, Su Shi could not be so comfortable, otherwise it would be bad if she thought that she could control the band at will. Qing needed to give her a warning. After all, at least she could really control Aine and Deng.

So Qing said, "As long as Aine agrees, I have no objection. But Suyo-san, I want to ask you something..."

Su Shi smiled and tilted her head, pretending to be curious and asked, "What's the question? I'll try my best to answer it if I can."

In an instant, Qing's eyes suddenly moved away from the teacup opposite him, and for the first time, he looked at Su Shi with a sharp and cold gaze, and met Su Shi's azure blue eyes. The sudden sense of oppression made Su Shi a little frightened.

"crychic, has it disbanded?"

The unexpected question asked by Qing went straight to the thing that Su Shi had been avoiding in his heart.

Su Shi tried to remain calm and lowered his voice due to nervousness, but he did not directly answer Qing's question.

"Why do you ask that?"

This was also the question that Deng wanted to ask. She looked at Qing in confusion. She had clearly expressed more than once that crychic had disbanded because she didn't sing well. Why would Qing ask such a question?

At this time, Qing slowly shifted his gaze and looked at the empty seat opposite Aine again, and said casually: "I'm just curious. After all, if crychic hasn't disbanded yet, there may be conflicts in the band's activities in the future."

Su Shi felt the pressure on her body suddenly relieved. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile and said, "Although no one has ever announced that crychic has disbanded, the band's activities have not been successfully carried out since that day..."

"So what? Is it disbanded?" Qing's cold voice interrupted Su Shi before he could finish his words.

"Huh?" Su Shi was sweating profusely. She didn't expect that after the other party let her relax her vigilance, he would immediately start chasing her fiercely. She couldn't help but feel that Qing was a difficult person. She even began to doubt whether Qing had noticed her purpose.

If Yao Yushi told her that Crychic had disbanded, she couldn't say it. As the person who valued Crychic the most, how could she admit that Crychic had disbanded? Especially in front of Deng, what if she admitted it and Deng completely gave up Crychic?

So Su Shi could only laugh and say, "Does this count as disbanding? I'm not really sure..."

"What? What are you talking about?"

Fortunately, Aiyin came back at this time, and her voice as cheerful as the sun asked everyone curiously. It was the first time that Su Shi felt that this outgoing pink-haired girl was so pleasing to the eye.

“Hey, listen to me, all the people looking for bands on the notice board are guitarists. There are no drummers or bassists at all.” Aiyin said as she sat down. She picked up her empty cup and took a look to see if there was any tea left in it. Then she put the empty cup down with some disappointment.

Qing naturally noticed Aine's actions, and did not answer the two questions Aine asked. Instead, he pushed his half-drunk cup of ginger and jujube tea to the middle of the table and said, "If you are thirsty, you can drink my cup. I don't mind."

Aine complained, “I wouldn’t drink something as weird as ginger and red date tea!”

As she said that, Aiyin reached out to push the half cup of ginger and jujube tea back, but when she saw an obvious tea stain on the rim of the cup facing Qing, she stopped moving her hand for some reason. She suddenly felt her mouth water and subconsciously wanted to swallow her saliva.

"Okay, but drinking this is really good for your health. You should really try it." Qing pulled the teacup back in front of him with some regret.

For a moment, Aine’s hand was suspended in mid-air. Then, she came to her senses and quickly pulled her hand back, saying nonchalantly, “I’m not that thirsty!”

At this time, Deng pushed the remaining little bit of milk coffee towards Aine and said shyly: “If you don’t mind, little Aine… please enjoy it! Although there is only a little bit left… but it tastes good!”

“Eh? Actually, we don’t have to do this…” As she said this, Aine secretly glanced at Ao, wanting to see Ao’s reaction.

But Qing just took a sip of the ginger jujube tea, then saw Aiyin's gaze and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"

Seeing Qing's reaction, Aiyin looked away angrily, took the milk coffee from the lamp, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Aiyin drank the little remaining milk coffee in one gulp with great vigor, and even her lips were covered with milk foam.

Su Shi, who watched the whole thing, was puzzled. What was wrong with these three people? Are they so close? Is this the relationship between band members? She even suspected that the disbandment of Crychic was caused by the members being too conservative.

After finishing her drink, Aine put down the cup and breathed a sigh of relief. The pent-up emotions were also released along with that breath. Then Aine wanted to talk about business again.

"Other bands are basically recruiting drummers, keyboardists, and bassists, and some are recruiting people without experience. It's hard for our band to snatch new members from the competition of other bands. Do you have any solutions?"

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their ordered drinks, Qing raised his glass and drank it all, then took a breath and said, "Regarding this matter, I happen to have something related to tell you. Just now, classmate Su Shi said that she wanted to join our band. She is the bassist."

Hearing this, Aiyin looked at Su Shi excitedly, and even raised her voice a few notches. She looked at Su Shi expectantly and asked, "Really? Su Shi is going to join us?"

Su Shi woke up from his daze, gave his usual polite smile and nodded to confirm, "Yes. As long as Xiao Deng and Xiao Qing agree, and as long as Xiao Ain has no objection, we will be teammates from now on."

Aiyin happily put her palms together, making a "pa" sound, and said, "Great, of course I welcome Sushi-san very much! This way, our band only needs one more drummer to carry on! Qingqing, do you want to try to be a drummer?"

Qing refused expressionlessly: "I'm a guitarist."

Aiyin was slightly disappointed and murmured to herself, “I want to be a guitarist too… Should I try to learn to play the drums? But the drummer sits at the back, and it feels like he has no presence at all…”

Su Shi has wanted to complain about Aine and Ao so many times today. It seems that you two haven't even discussed what positions each of you will play before. It's true that this B band can't be compared with Crychic at all.

Qing said, "If Aiyin wants to play guitar, then she can be the guitarist. It's not a problem for our band to have two guitarists. In fact, I think it won't be a problem even if there's one more guitarist. I'm a novice, so I can ask you for some guitar skills on a daily basis."

"Would you like to ask for my advice..." Aiyin's mind imagined the scene where Qing held a guitar and acted coquettishly towards her, calling her "Teacher Aiyin". The corners of her mouth curled up wildly, and she couldn't help but let out a silly "hehe" laugh.

Su Shi: Poet's Grip! I feel like this band has a bleak future! But it's just the right pedal to revive crychic.

Su Shi couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore and couldn't help but speak. She put her fingertips together and said with a gentle smile, "Anyway, our team needs a drummer and a keyboard player. I'll try to help find them."

Aine came back to her senses and thanked Sushi, “Thank you for your hard work, Sushi-san. I didn’t expect you to be so dedicated on your first day at Anon Tokyo. It’s great to meet you!”

"Um... may I ask who Anon Tokyo is?" Su Shi clenched his fists but still asked in a gentle voice.

"Huh? That's the name of our band!" Aine answered as a matter of course.

"I'd better not join!" Su Shi couldn't help but say this the moment he heard Ai Yin's answer, and even his voice was a little audible.

Qing secretly turned her face away and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh. She didn't even need to use her eyes to see Su Shi's expression. She just listened to the sound of Su Shi's voice and Su Shi's humorous face automatically appeared in her mind.

"Eh! Why?" Aine asked in confusion.

During this period, Su Shi had controlled his emotions, thinking that in order to bring crychic back to life, it was not a big deal for him to endure the humiliation and stay in this abstract band. It didn't look like the band would go far anyway, and he wouldn't need to feel any apology when the band was resurrected.

So Su Shi smiled and said, "I was just joking! But I think the name of this band is in poor taste, don't you?"

"Is that so? That's really scary. You didn't look like you were joking just now, Su Shi-san? Your acting was so convincing!" Ai Yin felt relieved and patted her chest. As for what Su Shi said next, she automatically ignored it.

Su Shi's brows twitched again when she heard that, but she was too lazy to waste words with Ai Yin any more. It would be better to finish the process as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible so that out of sight, out of mind.

Qing looked at Ain with some surprise, it seemed that today, the intelligence he had in hand and the way it designed to make Su Shi suffer was not as great as Ain's free play that made Su Shi suffer more. It can only be said that some people are born with natural enemies, and Su Shi's natural enemy is undoubtedly Ain.

Putting aside these unnecessary thoughts, Qing asked everyone to get down to business: "It's getting late, let's add Su Shi's line first, and we can talk about it later if there's anything else."

"Oh, that's right!" Aiyin took out her cell phone as if she had just woken up from a dream, and came in front of Su Shi with a lively jump.
