I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Aiyin thought so and looked at Qing and asked, "Qingqing, how do you feel? Do you feel stressed?"

When Qing heard Ain ask her this, and knew what Ain was thinking, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she thought to herself: This is what the Saint Ain that I know of would do.

"Pressure brings motivation. Maybe my efforts will exceed your imagination?"

As he spoke, Qing raised his head slightly and said in a provocative tone, "You have to be careful, Aine. If you slack off in practice, I might surpass you soon."

Aiyin puffed out her chest in a somewhat proud manner, accepted Qing's challenge and said, "Qingqing, don't underestimate me. I am a genius, and you are the challenger!"

Su Shi looked at the atmosphere that was suddenly filled with the spirit of youth. It was clear that the two of them were in a cold war not long ago. Why did it become like this now? She didn't understand their relationship any more.

However, Su Shi still had something to say. She asked: "So when do you want to hold the Live?"

This question stumped Aine, and she hesitated for a moment. As for Qing, she never cared. After all, her guitar skills did not depend on how much time she spent practicing, but on how hard she pushed Aine.

Aiyin tried to ask Sushi, "Sushi, you are experienced and you are also a member of the music club. Can you give me some good advice?"

Su Shi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Aiyin. Except for Deng, the previous members of Crychic are all people with considerable music experience. Even when I was learning bass, I had a good foundation. And there is no guitarist in the wind band, so it is difficult to give you reference."

Seeing that Su Shi was unable to give a useful answer, Aiyin turned back in disappointment and lowered her head to think again.

At this time, Qing opened his mouth and gave a time: "Let's start the Live in early June, a month, how about that?"

"Huh? Is this enough?"

Aine asked in surprise.

After all, in Aiyin's opinion, even though her guitar skills were poor, Qing was definitely the one under the most pressure.

The one-month time Qing proposed was a tight deadline for her, not to mention Qing, a beginner. Could Qing really practice guitar to the point where he could perform live on stage in one month?

Qing explained: "If the preparation time is too long, it won't satisfy Li Xi's need to start the Live as soon as possible, right? Do you think a month is enough for us to prepare?"

Aiyin waved her hands and raised her concerns: "Let's put my side aside. Qingqing, is it really okay for you to only have one month to practice the piano?"

Qing said calmly: "Ain, you haven't forgotten that I'm a substitute for the time being, right? If I still can't reach the level of being able to perform on stage in a month, then I won't participate in the Live. I think Li Xi will have no objection to this."

After all, when Cheng Qing said he wanted to be a substitute, Li Xi, who originally had a lot of opinions about Qing, suddenly stopped talking. It can be seen that Li Xi could at least accept Qing being a substitute and not participating in the Live, but he still disliked Qing for being too new.

Aiyin understood Qing's plan, puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, and said: "How cunning! You actually want to escape!"

Qing smiled and said familiar words to refute: "What's wrong with running away? Some things are painful to face, but it will be easy if you choose to run away."

When Aiyin heard Qing smilingly saying these words that she had once said to Qing, she suddenly blushed a little. After all, when it came to running away, she was the best at it.

Aiyin said with some embarrassment: "I am seriously discussing business with you, please stop teasing me!"

Su Shi, who was between the two of them, could only force a smile again, and thought to himself: When you two want to say those little interesting things that only you two can understand, could you please not put me in between you? I will look stupid if I don't understand anything.

Qingye put away the thought of teasing Aine and continued: "This is just a plan for the worst case scenario. If my guitar skills are not that bad by then, I will definitely go."

What Qing said made sense, but what Qing didn't say was that no matter how bad her guitar skills were, it was not up to her to decide.

"Well, if you say so, then I have no problem with that."

Aine said with some distress. Even Qing, a beginner, said that one month would be no problem. Although that was when she had a way out, if she hesitated here now, she would be outdone by Qing, a beginner, so Aine had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

In fact, a little more than a month might be a bit of a stretch for most people, but it is enough for Aine, at least it is much more than the time in the original story.

Although in the original story, Aine made many mistakes in her first Live, her poor performance cannot be entirely blamed on her poor guitar skills.

You have to know that the song "Bi Tian Ban Zou" that Ain played with problems was only completed the day before the live performance. Before going on stage, Ain was still asking Li Xi if it was finished like this. In this case, it is already commendable that Ain, who had difficulty playing an F chord not long ago, could finish the song. Even if there were mistakes, it was normal.

The problem is that there are mistakes. Didn't Deng also have no sound at the beginning, and was out of tune at the beginning. Didn't Su Shi also get distracted when playing "Haruhi Kage" later?

And judging from Aion's performance in playing "Kasuga Shadow" afterwards, she can be considered an expert in Kasuga Shadow, which means she has proficiency and is able to play freely without being nervous. Her guitar skills are good enough for her to participate in Live performances.

This is also the reason why Qinghui took the initiative to say that it would take a month to prepare. A month is much longer than the two weeks in the original story, and it is completely enough for Aine. As long as Aine doesn't give up, let alone practice her guitar skills, she can even make two sets of performance clothes for you.

Aiyin didn't know what Qing was thinking, so she turned to Sushi and asked, "What do you think of a month, Sushi?"

Su Shi smiled and responded: "Sure! ~"

"In that case, I'll go ask Deng and Li Xi for their opinions."

As she spoke, Aine took out her phone and quickly typed in the band group.

At this time, the three of them had already stopped at the train station, so it was no problem for Aiyin to use her phone. After Aiyin explained her idea in the group, she quickly received a reply from Lixi, but Lixi did not forget to remind them to practice well.

"Really? That's what makes Li Xi so annoying!"

Aine thought about the days of hard guitar practice ahead and couldn't help but speak in a tired voice that sounded a bit like a spoiled child.

Aiyin quickly typed back: I will, don't keep pushing me! Then she sent an angry emoji. Qing also picked up her phone and sent an aggrieved panda emoji to show her support for Aiyin.

Seeing that Li Xi hadn't replied, Ai Yin put away her phone, forced a smile, and said to Qing: "Li Xi is right, we should hurry up and practice well, so Qing Qing, you should also learn guitar as soon as possible, why don't you go buy a guitar tomorrow and start practicing right away?"

As soon as Aine said this, the atmosphere around them suddenly became cold. Qing's eyes, which were originally looking at the phone with interest, slowly shifted away and looked stiffly at Aine.

Su Shi swallowed her saliva, then she looked at the tram coming towards the platform in the distance, and said in an urgent but gentle voice: "Hey, the train I'm waiting for is here, see you next time!"

After saying that, Su Shi walked quickly towards the tram, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when the tram door closed. Then Su Shi began to worry again.

Finally, they were away from the center of the dangerous storm, but Su Shi was becoming more and more curious about the relationship between Aine and Qing.

I even wanted to go back and secretly see what was going on.

Chapter 45: Waiting for the bus, questions and answers, night.

Under the cover of night, the tram started slowly and gradually accelerated, making a whistling sound of air flow. The sound gradually became smaller and then disappeared until the last car left the platform.

The platform that had just been illuminated by colorful signal lights was finally left with only pale lights, dimly illuminating the figures of the two girls.

From the moment Aine asked Qing to buy a guitar tomorrow, when the train had not yet arrived at the station, to when Su Shi hurriedly boarded the train, to now when the train has already gone far away, the two of them did not say a word in the meantime, only Aine looked ahead, and Qing looked at Aine.

The day they had agreed to go buy a guitar together was the day after tomorrow, because Aiyin had an appointment with her classmates to go out and play tomorrow. Now Aiyin asked Qing to go buy a guitar tomorrow, and combined with Aiyin's previous intentional alienation towards Qing, Qing certainly didn't think that Aiyin would turn down her classmate's appointment to accompany her to buy a guitar. This could only be Aiyin's subtle way of turning down the invitation for the two of them to go to the music store together.

"why?"

The evening breeze seemed a little colder than usual, and Qing's voice was also clearer and colder than usual under the blessing of the evening breeze.

Aiyin looked straight ahead, with the same friendly smile on her face as when she faced her classmates, and she did not feel nervous at all because of Qing's invisible pressure.

"Didn't I tell you? Because we need to hurry up and practice the piano. Qingqing, you are the one who needs to practice the most, right?"

Aine replied softly, and the cold evening breeze seemed unable to lower the perfect temperature in Aine’s words.

Qing withdrew his gaze from Aine, slightly raised his head to look at the dim night sky, and said: "Now there are only two of us left here, it's time to speak some truth."

What I mean is that we should stop playing guessing games. I know you have something to do, so don't use this excuse to put me off.

Aiyin lowered her head, looking at the extremely long and narrow shadow cast by the light under her feet, and said softly: "But didn't Qingqing directly say what she was thinking?"

Qing withdrew his gaze from the sky. Not even a single star could be seen in Tokyo tonight. Of course, it might also be that it was not late enough.

"No one can tell all their secrets without reservation. At least if there is something you want to know, you should ask me before I tell you, right?"

Qing looked down at the ground and found that because the light was right in the middle between the two of them, their shadows were reflected on the ground in two opposite directions.

Qing quietly moved towards Aine, reducing the distance between them while letting his own shadow fall towards Aine's shadow.

However, after just one step, Aine turned her gaze towards her.

"Then let me ask you, have you already investigated all the members of Crychic?"

Aiyin stopped smiling, and her grey eyes looked into Qing's eyes quietly, causing Qing to stop in his tracks as he was about to approach her.

Qing didn't answer right away. He wasn't thinking about how to answer, but why Aine asked this question. But in the end, Qing answered truthfully: "I guess so."

Although she had not really investigated it in this world, Qing did know all about these characters in another world. Since Aiyin had already seen the problem, Qing did not intend to hide it any longer. Of course, she would not tell anyone about the time travel.

Facing Qing's affirmative answer, Aiyin was not too surprised. Even if Qing denied it flatly, she could still list many suspicious points and verbally torture Qing.

Aiyin stared into Qing's eyes and asked again: "Why are you investigating Crychic? Is it because of the lamp?"

Qingye looked directly into Aine's eyes and answered firmly in a cold voice: "No, it's just my interest."

Qing said this with a clear conscience. After all, what reason do you need to watch anime? Just watch it if you are interested. And it is normal to check the files of the characters in the anime because you are interested in it.

Aiyin Jianqing answered so firmly, and his eyes did not drift at all from beginning to end. There was no flaw in the expression on his face, and he did not look like lying at all.

Is it true that Qing didn't investigate Crychic just for Deng?

Aiyin began to doubt her own speculation, and at the same time she felt a little guilty for misunderstanding Qing, so she unconsciously looked away.

When Qing saw that Ain was no longer looking at her, she looked at her own shadow and took another step towards Ain. But Ain immediately noticed Qing's move and looked at Qing with a vigilant look again.

"Then is Su Shi-san and Li Xi's joining part of your plan?"

Aine asked another question.

"That's more of an inevitable result than my plan. As long as Su Shi knows that Deng will start playing in a band again, she will definitely join the band, and then Li Xi will be invited by her. You know, our meeting Su Shi yesterday was an accident. This couldn't have been my plan."

Qing explained calmly.

Aiyin asked, "You didn't answer me, is that your plan?"

Qing shook his head and said, "I never had any plan. I just foresaw the possibility of them joining the band based on the information I knew. I never induced anyone to join the band."

This answer was also somewhat beyond Aine's expectations. If Qing really wasn't secretly manipulating the band's affairs, perhaps it could mean that she didn't value Deng as much as Aine imagined. In that case, would she still accept herself for Deng?

Thinking of this, Aine suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, as if something that she had extinguished with her own hands had revived. So Aine once again looked away, trying to avoid Qing's gaze.

Then, Aiyin lowered her head and saw Qing's shadow. Unconsciously, she had leaned against the same direction as her shadow. A faint fragrance came from her side. Perhaps it was because she had been intentionally keeping a distance from Qing since the afternoon. This faint fragrance on Qing's body, which she would not usually notice, seemed particularly obvious at this moment.

Aine raised her head high again after lowering it just now, and stared at the pitch-black night sky.

"There are no stars in the sky tonight."

Aine’s tone returned to the way it usually was when she was chatting with Ao.

Qing didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

The sound of a train entering the station came from far away. It was the train to Aine’s house, but the two of them did not divert their attention to the arrival of the train.

Looking at the night sky that had nothing worth seeing, Aine suddenly said, “Although I wasn’t interested in astronomy before, I still know that some stars can only be seen by reflecting the light of the sun.”

As she spoke, the train pulled into the station and slowly stopped. Aine finally took action. She took a few quick steps and came to a position not far from the entrance of the station. Then she turned around and looked back at Qing who had followed her.

"So, if the stars don't appear tonight, would you still look forward to the sun coming out?"

Chapter 46: Leap, Block, Band-Aid.

Qing stared blankly at Aine who turned around and looked at her in front of the train door. The door slowly opened, and the lights of various colors shining through the car divided Aine's figure into three shadows of varying depths. The length of the three shadows just reached in front of Qing, as if they were their masters, looking at Qing expectantly.

When did Aine start to say something metaphorical like this? In Zaiqing's impression, Aine, who likes fashion, shouldn't say something so literary.

But now is not the time to care about these things. Qing reacted and immediately said: "Of course!"

Just as Qing was answering, the train sounded a reminder to close the door. Aiyin turned around and leaped into the car. While she was in the air, she looked back at Qing who was still standing there. Then, when she landed, she turned her body over to keep her balance.

Aiyin's smooth landing attracted the attention of everyone in the car. After all, Aiyin was carrying a huge gigolo bag and a school bag in her hands at the moment, so it would be hard for such a sudden leap not to make a noise.

The unfamiliar passengers looked at Aine who had just stood up with either surprise, confusion or friendliness. These looks made Aine blush slightly, doing something she normally wouldn’t do.

Although Aine likes to be in the spotlight, it’s mostly to get praise from others, and she never does things like this that would embarrass her by attracting attention.

And now thinking back on what she said just now, she felt embarrassed. She said it just because she was in the right mood. If Qing didn’t understand, then Aiyin would never want to see Qing again in her life... No, even if she understood what she meant, it would still be embarrassing!

Doesn't that show that she cares a lot about her position in Qing's heart?

Aiyin lowered her head, her long cherry-pink hair being the perfect cover to hide the blush on her face.

I wasn't originally this kind of person. It's because of you that I became a strange person. This is the first time I've become like this... So no matter how I deny it...

Yanagisawa Ao was probably really a very special person to Chihaya Aine. Aine came to a conclusion in her heart.

Of course, if Qing had not given a positive answer just now, this conclusion would probably not be true.

And Aine was also afraid of the answer that Qing would say, so she jumped in with all her strength just when the train door was about to close. With the distance that Qing was just now from the door, it was impossible for her to catch up with the train before the door closed while she was still standing.

In this way, even if Qing couldn't give the answer that Aine wanted, she wouldn't have to see that figure that would make her sad again. Even if Qing didn't answer, Aine could comfort herself that Qing just didn't have time to say it. And Qing shouldn't continue to send Aine home.

But there is a problem with this. If Qing tells her the answer she wants, she will not be able to continue staying with Qing.

Aiyin felt a little lost and regretful. She leaned against the car door with her back and her hand subconsciously reached into the pocket of her school uniform.

If only Qing could catch the bus...

“Ding ding ding!~”
