36 Chanting, introductions, joking
At the bar counter of RING, Ms. Rin Rinko, the person in charge of RING, looked at Li Xi who was wiping the glass again and again with his eyes closed at the bar counter, and couldn't help but suggest: "If you care so much, why don't you go and do reception?"
When Li Xi came to work, she informed Rin Rin Zi that her friend would come and she would not be able to work for a while. Then Rin Rin Zi saw that Li Xi was distracted from time to time, and she kept repeating the actions of wiping cups or tables anxiously.
For Li Xi, who didn't need to participate in club activities, the time waiting for Deng and the others to come to RING was a bit too long. Now the school club activities were almost over, and Li Xi wanted to stand at the door waiting for Deng to come. However, she was unwilling to do the reception work, because she knew she was not good at dealing with others.
So Li Xi declined politely: "If I come into contact with others, it would be a little bit..."
Rin Rin Zi didn't want to accept Riki's statement, so she played dumb and said, "Huh? Aren't you in contact with me now?"
Li Xi didn't want to be pestered by Rin Rin, so she turned around and pretended not to hear. Although Li Xi's behavior seemed very impolite, the seniors who worked at RING were surprisingly able to pamper Li Xi, who had such an awkward personality. Perhaps it was because Li Xi was also serious and responsible. Rin Rin was not angry, after all, she also knew that Li Xi and the receptionist were not compatible.
At this time, a lively and lovely voice shouted from a distance to the bar: "One serving of honey water, one serving of milk coffee, and... um, can Sister Linlinzi come over here for a moment?"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Rin Rinzi responded loudly, then looked at Li Xi who was already preparing drinks, and said with a smile, "You are really motivated, in order not to be a receptionist. Then you should keep working hard."
After saying that, Rinrinko left the bar, leaving Riki alone to mix drinks, while thinking: Since they didn’t order mocha coffee and black tea, it seems that it wasn’t Deng and Sushi who came.
Meanwhile, Qing, who was sitting next to Aine, complained to her, “Do you really have to drink that thing with a bunch of names?”
Aine corrected seriously, “It’s not something with a string of names, it’s the anniversary flavored refreshing citrus mint and tropical fruit tea with ice!”
The shop assistant with cat ears standing next to the table had a weak voice. She apologized to Aine, “Sorry, my dear customer, you read too fast. I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Qing looked at the shop assistant whose name was CDD, which was completely opposite to Qing's solo push, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Bang Gaozu can't resist Aine's chanting of spells.
However, before Toyama Kasumi could remember Aine's order, another customer came to the table and said in a gentle and polite voice, "Ah, speaking of this... I also recommend the custom-made super classic with ice, berry cream, mango sauce, milk cap, orange chocolate chips, tropical pineapple fruit punch, and shaved ice!"
Hearing this series of incantations, Aiyin's eyes lit up and she quickly turned around to see who the fashionable person was. Then, when she saw the person coming, she happily greeted him, "Ah, Sushi-san, you're here!"
Su Shi smiled and waved in response, "Good afternoon, Xiao Aiyin, Xiao Deng and Xiao Qing."
Kasumi, who was just trying to write down the order, was already rolling her eyes, and the scene of Aine and Suyo's spell battle kept replaying in her mind. Fortunately, Rinrinko arrived in time and asked Aine and Suyo to re-order. In the end, Aine ordered ordinary citrus fruit tea, and Suyo ordered ordinary black tea.
Su Shi put her schoolbag on the seat next to the lamp, but she did not sit down. Instead, she smiled and explained to everyone: "The new member I found is working at RING. She should be in the store now. You guys sit here and wait for me."
Linlinzi, who was standing nearby, also heard what Sushi, Ai Qingdeng and the other two were saying. She came over and asked Sushi, "Could it be that the guest you are talking about is Xiao Lixi?"
Su Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, did Xiao Lixi tell you about it?"
Linlinzi's tone suddenly became much more intimate, and she said enthusiastically: "Yes, she said that a friend came back to see her, and it turned out to be you! You just sit here, I'll go and call Xiao Lixi over for you."
After saying that, Rinrinko smiled and waved to everyone, and went to the bar. Su Shi said to Rinrinko's back, "Then thank you for your help," and sat down.
Aiyin also looked at Rinrinko's receding back and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What? Isn't this very caring of the senior?"
Su Shi looked at Ain curiously, wondering why Ain said that. Qing noticed Su Shi's expression and explained to her, "We heard Deng talking about Li Xi before, and I felt that she seemed difficult to get along with. But her senior who worked part-time became much more enthusiastic towards us after knowing that our table was Li Xi's friends. It can be seen that Li Xi can actually get along well with others, so Ain sighed."
Qing said this without fear of offending Li Xi. After all, her statement was objective. Besides, Li Xi was not her only supporter, so Qing did not have to please Li Xi. Instead, she wanted to attract hatred. It would be best if Li Xi could take out his temper on her instead of Ai Yin. So Qing's words just now deliberately downplayed Ai Yin's opinion of Li Xi, and transferred Ai Yin's opinion that Li Xi was difficult to get along with to my opinion that Li Xi was difficult to get along with.
After listening to Qing's explanation, Su Shi was stunned. She was not angry for her friend because Qing said something bad about Li Xi. After all, no one knew better than Su Shi whether Li Xi was easy to get along with. It was better to say that Su Shi was the one who saw Li Xi's ugly face the most because she had been in contact with Li Xi from time to time in order to revive Crychic.
Su Shi was stunned because she had never noticed what Qing said before. Although she had come to RING to find Li Xi more than once or twice, she had never noticed that the staff of RING actually treated Li Xi very well. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed the case, but she had not paid attention to it before.
But Su Shi was only stunned for a moment, and she soon showed her signature smile again and changed the subject: "Is that so? Xiao Deng has already told you."
After saying that, Su Shi smiled gently and looked at Deng, but found that Deng seemed a little uneasy today, so Su Shi asked with concern: "Xiao Deng, what's wrong with you?"
Deng didn't say anything, but just shook his head gently to show that he was fine. Seeing this, Su Shi turned his gaze to Ai Qing and asked what happened.
However, Qing did not intend to speak. Aiyin did not want to speak, but for some reason, Su Shi kept staring at Qing after she saw that Qing did not speak. Finally, Aiyin could only say: "We just talked about the reason why crychic disbanded on the road, but Qingqing and I are not members of crychic after all, so we can't give a definite answer. Deng Deng has been struggling with this issue. What do you think, Su Shi?"
Su Shi glanced at Deng in silence. Deng had already mentioned this question yesterday on the way to send Deng home, but Deng was still struggling with it and even talked about Crychic's family affairs with Ai Qing and other two irrelevant people. Su Shi also wanted to know the reason why Crychic disbanded, but Xiangzi was missing and Mu Ye could not let it go.
However, in order to reunite Crychic, Su Shi could not allow any rifts to arise between the members of Crychic, so she could only bring up the same excuse from yesterday and said, "I think it's because everyone didn't communicate well. If everyone could calm down a little and sit down and talk, things would definitely get better."
Qing did not comment on Su Shi's answer, but she was not interested in the answer to the question itself. She even said that she was the one who knew the answer to the question, so she was too lazy to complain about Su Shi's answer.
Because of Qing's reminder yesterday, Aiyin immediately realized that Su Shi's answer was just vague. Her statement can be applied to any broken team. What she said makes sense but cannot get to the heart of the problem. It's like just writing down the formula when doing a physics word problem. It gets points but is not correct.
Aiyin glanced at Qing who was indifferent at the side, and hesitated whether to express her thoughts and let Su Shi tell a more direct reason, but at this time a cold voice came from the side of the table: "It's Xiangzi's fault, right? After all, she suddenly said she wanted to quit."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a RING employee uniform and a teardrop mole under her droopy purple eyes. She was holding five drinks on a tray and looking at them.
"Xiao Lixi, you're here." Su Shi saw the person coming and greeted her with a smile. The girl who suddenly interrupted their conversation was the new member she found, Lixi Shiina.
Li Xi nodded expressionlessly at Su Shi as a response to the greeting, then looked at Deng and took the initiative to greet Deng in a much softer voice than before: "Deng, long time no see."
Deng responded cautiously: "Xiao Lixi..."
Seeing Deng's cautious look, Li Xi didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only put the drinks one by one on the table to ease the embarrassment. At this time, Qing reminded: "The milk coffee is Deng's, the black tea is Su Shi's, the honey water is mine, and the fruit tea is Ain's."
Although Qing's words seemed to be instructing Lixi to work, Lixi, who was a shop assistant, didn't care about these trivial matters. On the contrary, she felt a little embarrassed because she didn't know which drink the light was for. Qing's reminder actually helped her a little.
By the way, Li Xi also knew that the pink-haired girl sitting next to the person who was talking was named Ain. She put the fruit tea in front of Ain, and Ain quickly thanked her with a "thank you for your trouble". Then when she put the honey water in front of Qing, Qing did not say thank you, but turned to another empty table and moved a chair behind Li Xi.
Their table was rectangular, with two seats on each of the two long sides, and the short side was originally an aisle with no seats. So Li Xi, as the fifth person, really needed to move a chair to have a seat.
Although from what Su Shi said yesterday, it seemed that these two people were not very reliable, but now it seems that the pink-haired girl is quite polite, and the single-tailed girl is also quite attentive. Thinking of this, Li Xi put the last tray and the cup of espresso on it in front of herself, and then sat in the seat that Qing moved for her.
After Li Xi sat down and could continue the conversation, Su Shi was afraid that Li Xi would bring up the previous topic again, so he quickly introduced him to Ai Qing and said, "This is Li Xi. Come on, little Li Xi, introduce yourself."
Li Xi didn't have an obsession to continue the conversation, so he naturally put aside the sharp criticism of Xiangzi and looked at Ai Qing. He said indifferently, "I'm Shiina Li Xi, a drummer. I used to form a band with Deng and Su Shi."
Although Riki's attitude was not good at all, it seemed to be better than Aine expected. Considering that Riki would be her bandmate in the future, Aine still put on an interested expression to liven up the atmosphere and said, "Hey, Shiina? He looks very handsome."
Lixi frowned. She remembered that Su Shi said yesterday that one of Deng's two teammates looked frivolous. She was probably referring to this pink-haired girl. Although she wasn't frivolous yet, she was so familiar that it was a bit annoying.
Seeing Aine step on the landmine, Qing also complained silently in her heart. Calling Rikki by her last name would not remind Rikki of her inferiority complex towards her sister? However, Aine didn't know Rikki's situation, so Rikki should be annoyed at most, but not angry with Aine. In the original story, it was Su Shi, who knew Rikki's situation, who told Aine Rikki's last name. Rikki was directly angry with Su Shi, but Aine immediately diverted her attention.
Su Shi saw Aine suddenly started to act stupid. Although she didn't want to pay attention to Aine in her heart, she still responded with a smile: "Chihaya is also a very good surname. Aine, you should introduce yourself too, so that Riki can get to know you two."
"Okay!" Aine said with a bright smile, "I'm Chihaya Aine, and I study at Haneda. I'm in the same class as Deng Deng and Qing Qing, and our seats are very close! I'm a guitarist for now, but I was the lead guitar singer in junior high school. Please give me your advice!"
"What is that strange name..." Li Xi couldn't help but complain.
"It's not weird, isn't it cute?" Aine firmly defended her right to give her friend a nickname. But Riki was too lazy to complain about Aine, as getting along with this pink-haired girl might indeed consume more energy.
Ignoring Ain, Riki looked at Qing, hoping that Qing would introduce herself. But Qing followed Ain's words and said, "It's very cute. Do you want to try calling Ain Ainyin? It will definitely be very cute."
Lixi really wanted to complain about how Qing could say such a joking thing in such a calm voice, this couldn't be a joke, right?
Su Shi made a sweaty face and said in a gentle voice, "Isn't this too borderless?"
Aiyin waved her hands excitedly and said, "Not at all? How about I call you Su Shishi too? Wouldn't that make it seem like we're very close and don't need boundaries?"
Su Shi leaned back slightly, her smile almost froze, but she still said vaguely, "Well, it's a bit like that..."
Li Xi sighed and said, "Is that enough of a joke?"
However, at this time, Deng looked determined and shouted to Aine who was sitting opposite her: "Aine... is that so?"
"Huh?" Li Xi and Su Shi, who were so shocked that they couldn't speak, made an unbelievable sound at the same time.
Aine held onto Tomo's hand and said happily, "Wow, that's it! It's so cute, Tomo!"
Deng was a step slower to react to what Li Xi just said, with a shy expression on his face. He looked at Aine and Li Xi and asked in panic: "Huh? Was that... a joke? ... Did I take it seriously?"
Seeing Deng looking like he had done something wrong, Li Xi panicked and used all he had learned to comfort Deng. But when the words came out of his mouth, he could only say incoherently: "No, that...it's okay, Deng...it's not your problem!"
Qing looked at the scene with a happy face. Although Aine found Riki's other side very interesting, she was not a "former audience of fun" like Qing after all, so Aine held Deng's hand and said, "I'm not kidding, Deng Deng, you can always call me that from now on, okay?"
Although Deng was comforted by Li Xi and Aine, it was a little difficult for her to call out "Aine" because of the awkward scene just now, so Deng tentatively asked, "Then can I not call her that?"
“Eh?” Aine’s face showed obvious disappointment, but she still managed to say, “That’s fine, just press the button you like.”
"Wait a minute, don't make things difficult for Deng!" Li Xi couldn't help but start to blame.
Deng saw Aine's disappointed look, thought for a moment, and proposed a compromise: "Well, Xiao Ai...how about it?"
"Huh?" Li Xi opened his mouth in surprise. Su Shi, who was standing next to Deng, had already taken a sip of the black tea and was secretly watching Li Xi's expression from the corner of his eyes.
"Okay! I'll be happy as long as you can call me by a unique nickname!" Aine encouraged Deng with a smile.
Seeing Deng and Aine being so intimate, Li Xi hesitated for a while, and asked Deng softly and tentatively: "Deng, what about me?"
Deng was confused for a moment, then responded in a low voice: "Xiao Lixi..."
"Huh↑↑?"
----------
Oops, this laning hasn't even reached the point where it's going to explode.
However, Li Xi, if he could hold back for one chapter without persecuting, he would be a god (
The hen card pv2 is out. I didn't expect that everyone in the chicken group is also a master. Everyone is exploding! I originally thought that Hatsumi-neko was here to redeem the puppet girl Xiangmu, but it turns out that none of you are intact.
From this point of view, the Go group was very merciful in giving one Saint Aiyin.
I'm really looking forward to what the plot will be that will make Hai Ling red and warm.
Chapter 37 Entertainment, Substitution, Operation.
"I'm Yanagi Aoki, and I'm also a guitarist. By the way, I can't play the guitar."
Ao introduced himself expressionlessly, which instantly cooled the atmosphere that Aine had been trying so hard to liven up.
Li Xi frowned and asked in a questioning tone: "Why do you want to play in a band if you don't know how to play an instrument?"
Aine couldn't help but shrink her neck when she heard Riki's impolite questioning. Her technique was actually not much different from not being able to play the piano.
Qing was not affected by Li Xi's question and attitude, and replied unmoved: "Because Aine invited me, I came."
"what?"
Li Xi made a sound of confusion. Whether he didn't understand the causal relationship between the two or the reason itself, or both, was unknown.
Qing didn't mean to explain, as if she didn't notice Li Xi's confusion, and the atmosphere gradually became tense. Originally, Su Shi would come out to be a peacemaker, but her plan was to kick Qing and Aiyin out of the band sooner or later, so at this time she just watched the show from the sidelines.
Seeing that Qing and Su Shi had no intention of talking, Aiyin could not expect Deng to help, so she could only come out to ease the atmosphere. She sighed softly and was about to come out to explain, but suddenly she felt her hand being held down by Qing, who made a soothing gesture to her, signaling her not to say anything.
Qing then looked at Li Xi and said, "The band was established after Ain invited me, and then we invited Deng, and then we set the goal of everyone playing in the band happily."
Then, Qing looked at Deng and asked, "Deng, are you happy playing in the band with us?"
Deng nodded heavily and said seriously: "Very happy!"
Now Li Xi was speechless. Qing's actions were telling Li Xi that our band is an entertainment team. Technology is secondary and having fun is the most important thing. Besides, your favorite light is very happy here, so even though I, Liu Zeqing, am not good at playing, I will have no problem playing in this team.
Seeing that Li Xi did not make things difficult for Qing, Su Shi thought about doing something himself, and asked a question with a smile: "That being said, when can we carry out band activities?"
This is a very realistic problem. With Qing's zero guitar skills, he can't even participate in basic group practice, let alone live performances. If we have to wait until Qing learns guitar to the point where he can participate in band activities, it would be a waste of time for others who are waiting.
It just so happened that Lixi was also concerned about when the Live performance could begin, so she looked at Qing, wanting to see what Qing would say.
Qing nodded without giving it too much thought and said, "That's right. So my plan is that before I learn guitar, I will just be a substitute in the band. With your current configuration, you can still practice and hold live performances normally even if you are missing a guitar, right?"
Although Qing said that she would be a substitute temporarily, she would not miss any activities of the band, otherwise the pressure on Li Xi would fall on Aine. However, Qing did not plan to appear in the Live, so that Renai, who has not yet joined the team, could have a chance to join their band.
Li Xi and Su Shi could barely accept Qing's solution.
Lixi agreed with Qing's way of handling the matter. You should know that when Xiangzi wanted to quit Crychic, Lixi had no intention of keeping him. It was not because Lixi had any opinion about Xiangzi, but because she felt it was normal for a band to quit and it would not affect the band's continued activities.
Regarding Qing's replacement, Lixi's thoughts were the same as Xiangzi's when he quit the band. He thought it was normal as long as it didn't affect the band's activities.
However, Lixi still hopes that Qing can improve his guitar skills as soon as possible. If she sees someone who is both unskilled and arrogant during practice, it will be difficult for her to control her anger.
As for Su Shi, her thoughts were much simpler. She simply thought that substitute players were easier to be eliminated than regular players.
What she cares more about is that Qing seems to have joined the band because of Aine. Does that mean that if Aine is kicked out, Qing will leave too?
Although Aiyin was surprised by Qing's decision to be a substitute, she didn't care about the music in the band and didn't say anything.
Instead, Deng, who had spoken the least before, had the biggest reaction. Qing said, "You guys can still practice and hold live shows even if you don't have a guitar," which reminded Deng of what Xiangzi said when he quit Crychic, "Even without me, you guys can still play, right?"
However, the final result was that without Xiangzi, Crychic disbanded.
So Deng was upset about Qing's decision to be a substitute. Would Qing really quit after being a substitute? Would this be the beginning of the band's disbandment?
"Really...you're not coming to the joint training?"
Deng asked Qing nervously.
Qing took a look at Deng's uneasy expression and quickly understood what Deng was worried about. She took out her mobile phone and showed everyone a page. Everyone leaned over to see what Qing was going to show them.
"Show me the YouTube account? Anon Tokyo?"
