I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Lixi looked at the picture on Qing's phone and still didn't quite understand. After all, she didn't even know the name of the band was AnonTokyo.

Su Shi, who had run a Crychic account before, guessed what Qing meant and asked Qing to confirm: "Is this our band's YouTube account?"

"Huh? Don't tell me Anon Tokyo is the name of the band?"

Li Xi heard Su Shi's guess and asked in disbelief.

Aine puffed up her cheeks and retorted, “What’s wrong with this name? I think it’s great!”

Qing ignored Li Xi and Ai Yin's struggle over the account name and said, "I will send this account and login password to the group later. We will operate this account together. I will be considered Staff A."

"Hey, what am I then?"

Aine, whose name also starts with A, couldn’t help but ask.

"Staff A as well... The important thing is, I will upload some videos about our band on this account, such as the "Beautiful Girl Learning Guitar from Zero" series, and some of our band's daily life. I hope you can cooperate with me then."

Qing talked about his plan.

“Will anyone really watch this?”

Li Xi questioned.

Su Shi also nodded in agreement: "It's really not easy to operate an account well."

Qing said seriously in a cold tone: "Don't worry about this, I will take advantage of the popularity and attract traffic."

Aine complained, “Wouldn’t it make me more worried if you said that?”

Qing clapped her hands, signaling everyone to stop expressing their opinions and listen to her first.

"What I want to say is that although I may not be able to participate in the rehearsal for the time being, the band's activities are not limited to rehearsal and live performances. I will participate in the band's activities in other places. Please don't worry about this. And as I said above, I will make some videos related to the band at that time, so please cooperate with me then."

For example, yuri business or something like that, Qing secretly glanced at the still confused Aine and thought to himself.

After hearing Qing's long explanation, Deng felt relieved. She said to Qing seriously, "I will try my best to cooperate!"

Chapter 38 Activities, itineraries, guitar.

After Qing finished talking about his plan, the five people at the table got to know each other. The next topic was the action plan for the entire band.

The first person to raise the question was Li Xi, the only one in the band who pursued music. She asked: "Leaving aside the substitute guy, when can our band start formal activities?"

I have to say that Lixi's way of speaking is really top-notch. Her words are equivalent to directly throwing Qing away, and she even refers to Qing as "the substitute guy."

It can be said that if Qing was a normal female high school student, she would have been angry. Fortunately, Qing not only did not care about Li Xi's harsh words, but was also thick-skinned enough to continue expressing her opinions here.

However, it seemed that no one had thought seriously about the question raised by Li Xi, and no one answered for a while.

Li Xi covered his forehead in disbelief and shook his head gently, "Is this true...During the long Golden Week holiday, you guys don't plan to carry out band activities?"

Aiyin smiled and said, "We also have our own holiday plans. The band activities are indeed not well coordinated, so it's difficult to organize activities."

"Then arrange it now! You can't spare one day in your week's vacation for band activities? Can you pay a little more attention to the band?"

Although Lixi was the last one to join the band, she couldn't help but arrange things for this lazy band.

Qing Jian Li Xi has already started to manage the band's schedule, but Ai Yin remains indifferent. She decides not to let Li Xi continue to be so arrogant.

So Qing deliberately said: "In that case, first of all, we can't come on May 5th. Because Aine, Deng and I have to go out to observe the comet, and it may last until very late."

Hearing that Deng was going to go out into the wild with others until night, Li Xi subconsciously blurted out: "Huh? Why?"

However, Li Xi's subconscious denial made Deng think that Li Xi had something against their comet observation. For a moment, she said aggrievedly: "No... can't we go... but, that was given to us by the Astronomy Department with great difficulty..."

Li Xi immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized softly: "Ah, no... I didn't mean that! Sorry, Deng... Just go ahead!"

Su Shi tried to smooth things over by saying, "Xiao Lixi is just worried about you. I don't mean to stop you from going."

Deng glanced at Su Shi and Li Xi uncertainly and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Su Shi smiled and affirmed: "Yes, because Xiao Lixi likes Xiao Deng the most!"

"Huh?"

Li Xi couldn't help but question loudly when Su Shi spoke out his thoughts without any concealment.

Deng looked at Li Xi cautiously. Li Xi's sharp gaze towards Su Shi softened immediately when it met Deng's. Deng asked softly: "Aren't you angry with me?"

"How could I be angry with the lamp!"

Li Xi excitedly slammed the table and stood up.

At this time, Qing said: "Deng's intention is not just to ask you about observing the comet."

The thoughts in his mind were exposed by Qing, and Deng subconsciously lowered his head and avoided Li Xi's sight.

Li Xi saw this and knew that what Qing said was true, but she didn't understand what the lamp meant, so she could only be patient, sit down again and ask: "What does that mean?"

But Qing did not answer Li Xi, instead, he showed an expression that said "I really can't bear to watch". Aiyin at the side then finished the rest of Qing's words and said, "Of course, I'm asking about Crychic. Deng Deng wants to know if you are mad at her for Crychic."

Li Xi reacted and quickly explained to Deng: "I have never been angry with Deng, because it was never Deng's fault. I am more concerned about Deng not coming to practice."

What Li Xi wanted to say was that as long as Deng could come to practice together, she would be happy for them to continue to be together. But Deng thought about what Li Xi said and thought that Li Xi was complaining about her absence from practice, so she lowered her head and said, "You are really angry with me."

Su Shi smiled and patted Deng's back, comforting him: "That's not the case, otherwise why would Xiao Lixi be willing to continue to form a band with us?"

Deng just looked at his own reflection on the milk coffee without saying anything. Seeing that the atmosphere was going in a bad direction again, Aiyin changed the subject and said, "Anyway, everyone should send your holiday schedule to the group...ah, Li Xi hasn't joined the group yet!"

Su Shi picked up the phone and said, "It's okay, I'll add Xiao Lixi to the group right away."

As she spoke, Su Shi started to operate her phone. Ai Yin put her hand in Deng's sight and waved to attract Deng's attention, then said gently: "Deng Deng, you should also send your schedule to the group as soon as possible, because we still have band activities to arrange during the holidays!"

Band... Yes, I have a new band now, including Aion, Qing, and Sushi. Li Xi is also willing to continue to form a band with me. The memories of Crychic in the past are very important, and I will probably never forget them for the rest of my life, but everyone now is more important.

"Ah."

Deng nodded and picked up his phone.

While the girls in the band were discussing, a girl with white hair and heterochromatic eyes, wearing a black T-shirt and Martin boots, came to RING, carrying a guitar and a stereo. The store clerk Yamabuki Saya noticed the girl and greeted her, "Runa, you're here to try playing, right?"

Yao Le Na nodded in agreement. Sha Ling asked Le Na to wait for a moment, and Le Na found a seat and sat down.

Then Le Nai subconsciously sniffed and felt a familiar smell, so she began to look around for it, and finally she saw a figure she had seen not long ago.

"Is it a good woman... Qing?"

Le Nai walked to a position where she could hear the people at Qing's table talking and stopped. Then she remembered what her mother had said about calling Qing's name.

Li Xi looked at the phone and clicked his tongue, then asked impatiently, "Can you tell me what the guitar-buying plan on your schedule means?"

Qing said calmly: "I told you before, I've never played the guitar, so isn't it normal that I haven't bought a guitar yet?"

"Do you really want to play in a band?"

Lixi was very dissatisfied with Qing's attitude. She could clearly feel that Qing and Aine had no pursuit of music, but she did, and her pursuit of music was very high, so when she saw Qing's indifferent attitude, she felt impatient.

How can I catch up with my sister if I keep going like this? When will others recognize me?

Qing didn't tolerate Li Xi and responded with a cold voice: "Why don't I want to play in a band seriously? Can't people who start late play in a band? I've never played guitar before, so I can't play without a guitar? Then I want to play in a band now, I'll buy a guitar during the holidays, what's the problem?"

Li Xi also knew that she was just anxious. There was nothing wrong with what Qing said. It was mainly because she felt that her future in this band was bleak, and she couldn't help it for a moment. But she still said stubbornly: "Then you have to work harder to practice!"

Then Qing and Lixi both frowned, and the atmosphere at the table became awkward.

"I'm ready, Lenai-chan!"

In the distance, Sa Ling prepared the sound equipment and shouted to Le Na.

Le Nai turned his eyes away from Qing's table, walked to a high platform used for performances in the store, plugged in the battle-damaged guitar he brought, and began to play.

The wild and free guitar solo resounded throughout the store. Qing's table fell into silence, and the five of them listened quietly to Le Na's performance.

Qing heard a familiar melody and looked in the direction of the performer. Sure enough, he saw Le Nai's figure. Suddenly, an idea that he had never thought of before popped up in his mind.

Chapter 39: Heart knot, a lifetime, interesting.

Following a burst of intense guitar strumming, a few consecutive strums brought the wonderful performance to a rest. Aiyin couldn't help but praise: "How amazing... She looks about the same age as us."

Li Xi felt that the atmosphere of the quarrel had passed, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone and said, "Anyway, you are free on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th, right? Then we will carry out the activities on these three days. I will book a rehearsal room."

But then Qing questioned again: "Did they go straight to the rehearsal room? They haven't even discussed which song to practice, and the band hasn't decided whether to hold a live performance, record, or write original songs. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to book a rehearsal room so hastily?"

Li Xi was choked by Qing again, but what Qing said was indeed correct. Li Xi was a reasonable person. Although she was very unhappy now, she could not find any reason to refute.

So Li Xi closed his eyes, suppressed his impatience and said: "If that's the case, why don't you discuss what to do!"

Aine felt that if she didn't come out and say something, Li Xi and Qing would start quarreling again, so she leaned towards the two of them, spread her hands in an exaggerated manner to attract everyone's attention and said: "Speaking of this, we have actually discussed the band's goals before. The short-term goal is to hold a live performance, and yesterday we went to the karaoke bar to get Deng Deng to agree to this goal. How about it, is Deng Deng willing to hold a live performance now?"

When Lixi heard that it was related to Deng, she immediately looked at Deng and was very surprised that Deng was unwilling to hold a live performance.

Do you want to start a live show? If this question was asked yesterday, Deng would have agreed directly, but after talking to Aine alone this afternoon, Deng could feel that the distance between Aine and Qing seemed to have grown.

Something that they had finally found and might last a lifetime seemed to be torn as the distance between Aine and Ao grew. It looked like it was about to break at any moment.

This reminded Deng of bad memories. If there was no lifetime guarantee, would the band also end after the live performance?

So, the lamp hesitated.

Seeing that Deng didn't answer, Su Shi asked softly: "Why don't you want to start Live?"

Deng didn't say anything, because the uneasy feeling she had was not that strong. It was just that the originally perfect stone suddenly had a crack when it was placed on the ground. Deng was afraid that if she continued to leave the stone there, the cracks would become more and more, and eventually the whole stone would break.

“I think they’re worried that the band will disband after the live show.”

But Qing directly expressed what Deng was worried about.

Li Xi thought this statement was ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it, he finally looked at Deng and asked, "Deng, do you really think so?"

Deng nodded gently. She didn't know whether she should say this idea out loud before, but since Qing Gang had said it out loud, she should be able to say it out loud.

Li Xi asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"

It was Qing who answered Li Xi again this time. She said: "After all, it was the only live performance I had in my life, and the band was gone after that. It's understandable that I would worry about the tragedy happening again."

Qing stated a fact in a cold voice, making her words more convincing.

Lixi clenched her fists, but she didn't know what to say. At this time, Su Shi spoke to comfort her: "Everyone has been deeply hurt by the disbandment of Crychic. But it's okay, Xiao Deng, whether it's a live performance or something else, I will not leave Xiao Deng. Didn't we agree that Xiao Deng and I will be a band for life?"

After hearing Su Shi's words, Deng remembered the agreement he and Su Shi made under the lonely star last night. He felt a little relieved and nodded to Su Shi seriously.

Li Xi saw that Su Shi's words were effective in comforting Deng, and for a moment she didn't care when Su Shi and Deng had made such an agreement. She put her hand on her chest to express her sincerity and said: "I swear, I am willing to be with Deng for the rest of my life!"

"Little Lixi..."

Deng was actually a little surprised that Li Xi could make such a promise with her, but she felt Li Xi's sincerity and approved of the promise, and said seriously, "It will definitely be for a lifetime!"

Seeing the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Aiyin complained: "How can you talk about a lifetime so easily? This is a lifetime!"

Li Xi finally managed to convey his feelings to Deng, but the atmosphere was interrupted by this pink-haired girl, who asked unhappily: "So what?"

Aine raised her finger and said, “Do you know what the average life expectancy is? It means that we will be together even when we become 90-year-old grandmothers? No one knows what will happen in life. Have you ever considered that you will continue to play drums after you become an old grandmother?”

Although Aiyin's acceptance of forming a band for a lifetime has improved a lot due to her time with Deng in the past two days, she still doesn't understand how these two people can say "a lifetime" so easily. Wouldn't it make her and Qing look like they have no determination?

When Li Xi heard Aine's question, he answered without hesitation: "I will continue to fight!"

Aiyin looked at Lixi in silence, and Su Shi beside her took the opportunity to say: "It's okay, Aiyin, don't force yourself."

Su Shi hoped that Ain would be scared away by their gravity, but she didn't expect that Ain just sighed and said, "It's not forced. When our band set the long-term goal, we set it as a lifelong band, although we don't know how to do it specifically yet..."

At this time, Qing added: "Although there are goals that we have set but will never achieve, since we have set the goal of forming a lifelong band as our goal, it is natural that we will work hard in this direction."

After hearing what Aiyin and Qing said, Lixi looked at them in a different light. He suddenly felt that if these two could practice guitar well, this band wouldn't be so bad.

Su Shi forced a smile and asked with a hint of criticism: "Is that so? Now that Xiao Lixi and I are also members of the band, can you tell us what direction we should work towards?"

The sentence that Su Shi asked triggered the first attack. It was obviously she and Li Xi who made the lifetime commitment first, so Aine and Qing would later talk about the goal of a lifetime, but in the end, she was the one who asked Qing first.

Qing didn't think Su Shi's question was a big deal. She said in a cold voice: "First of all, we should improve our ability to resist risks. Life is long, and sometimes we have to consider that some situations may happen that are not conducive to the development of the band. For example, what if one of us leaves Tokyo and cannot participate in band activities due to work, family, or further studies; what if one of us has no money to continue playing in the band; what if someone in the band gets sick and can't play..."

Qing said these very realistic but possible problems, which made everyone present fall into deep thought. This also included Lenai who was sitting at the table behind Qing and eating matcha parfait. She had been watching the interaction of the people at this table since Su Shi mentioned her life. Now that she heard Qing's words, she seemed to have thought of something and looked thoughtful.

Qing folded his arms, leaned on the back of the chair, and said without emotion: "The best way to solve these problems is to prevent these risks from happening, such as having the ability to live independently away from home, mastering the right to freely choose the school to go to, and maintaining a healthy body, etc."

At this point, Qing looked at Su Shi and Li Xi with a sharp and cold gaze, and said bluntly: "However, in my opinion, you are not capable of taking these risks now. If the situation mentioned above really happens, you may have no choice but to leave Deng and tear up your lifelong commitment."

Qing paused for a moment, observing the expressions of the two people. Seeing that they both had serious expressions, he continued: "I don't know if you said you wanted to be a band for life, was it just a casual remark or was it just an impulse out of youth. But Deng really believed it. Aine and I also carefully considered various situations before cautiously setting the goal of being a band for life. We worked hard little by little and kept moving towards our goal."

Although what Qing said was all right, it was basically a face-to-face attack for Su Shi and Li Xi. Especially Li Xi, she felt that Qing spoke in a condescending manner, and she asked unhappily: "So what? At least my determination to stay with Deng is stronger than anyone else! Can't I say it?"
