In general, the C group's version of "Spring Shadow" is more lyrical and more in line with the band's theme of elegant shouting. The Go group's "Spring Shadow" is more passionate, more focused on shouting, and more forceful in expressing emotions.

So actually the two versions of "Haruhi Shadow" are not on the same track. Some people prefer the version with keyboard, while others prefer the version with double guitars. This is also a very normal phenomenon.

But if you compare the lyricism and elegance of the double guitar version of "Spring Shadow" with the keyboard version, there is no comparison. And now Li Xi is stuck in this dead end.

She gritted her teeth unwillingly, remembering how Xiangzi walked up to her a year ago, tucked her hair, smiled elegantly and pointed out areas where her arrangement could be improved. The feeling of inferiority in her heart once again surged up in her mind.

"Damn it, you still can't do it?"

Once again realizing the huge gap between his mediocre talent and genius, Li Xi became irritated.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Qing and Aine are far from being as harmonious as Xiangzi. Even if Li Xi's arrangement is a little worse, they may not be able to feel it. In fact, as long as the double guitar version of "Haruhi Shadow" is made, it will be delivered. Li Xi just can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Try again. Spend more time thinking about it. There will definitely be a chance to make better music than that guy."

Li Xi was just about to continue trying to arrange the song while muttering to herself when she glanced at the time on the alarm clock beside her. She sighed, took off her headphones, picked up a music arrangement instruction book on the table and left the room. She was going to prepare herself coffee for tonight.

……

Aiyin finally found a textbook in her schoolbag. She opened the first page and saw "Homeroom Teacher Ishihara" and a phone number written on it. Aiyin took out her cell phone and entered the phone number written on it, but she was unable to dial it out.

"I'm sorry, Qingqing, I really can't just leave you injured like that. It's not that I don't trust you, but this matter shouldn't be overlooked so easily... Anyway, today hasn't ended yet, so our agreement hasn't taken effect yet, right? If you want to hate me, just hate me today, and then forget all about it tomorrow..."

Aiyin made up her mind and pressed the dial button...

After a moment, Mr. Ishihara, who was confused at home, asked in disbelief: "You mean that Yanagisawa Aoki may have been abused at home, and you have evidence?"

At this moment, Teacher Ishihara wondered if this transfer student was bullying Yanagisawa Ao and was telling a hellish joke in front of her.

After all, Liu Zeqing is an orphan, how could she be abused by her family? Did she abuse herself?

Aine on the other end of the phone said: "This is just my guess, but Qing has another story, but I don't know how credible it is."

Teacher Ishihara asked tentatively: "Chihaya, do you know Yanagisawa's family situation?"

Aiyin paused and replied, "Qing never talked about her family situation, but I guess she is at least not valued at home."

Teacher Ishihara wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Oh, I think you must have misunderstood, Chihaya-san. You should tell me how Yanagisawa-san explained the injuries on her body."

Although Aiyin was very curious about why the homeroom teacher concluded that she had misunderstood so quickly, she thought that the homeroom teacher must have some information that she didn't know, so Aiyin did not ask any more questions, but told the story she heard from Qing about Qing and Xiang's father fighting against the gangsters.

After listening to Aine's story, Mr. Ishihara believed it a little. First, Aine said that she did see many injuries on Qing, and there was a photo as evidence; second, based on Qing's growth experience, it is indeed possible that he was a delinquent, and it is even possible that he had experience in street fights.

Although it was confirmed that Qing had not been subjected to domestic violence, Teacher Ishihara still decided to intervene in the matter. After all, Qing was injured anyway. If she did not intervene, no one else would. Moreover, she did not know whether those little hooligans would retaliate against Qing. Teacher Ishihara was already considering whether to take Qing to her home temporarily to avoid the limelight.

But no matter what she thought in her heart, she would not tell Aine about these things, so she said to Aine on the other end of the phone: "I see, thank you for the information, Chihaya-san. I will follow up on this matter immediately and call you when there is a result, so just leave it to the teacher with peace of mind."

"Okay... if there's anything I can do to help, please tell me, Sensei."

……

In an empty but not deserted mansion, Mu, who was in the underground soundproofing layer, was sitting alone on a chair, playing the guitar with her seven-string in her arms.

After quickly and skillfully completing the finger opening, Mu was about to play something when the mobile phone on the table beside him received a message reminder.

Mu immediately stopped what he was doing, put down his guitar, picked up his phone and started checking.

Mu's social circle is both wide and small. Thanks to her parents' social status, she always knows a lot of people, but due to her wooden personality, few people can get her contact information. So the people who can send her messages are basically the ones that Mu really cares about, and it is worth her not hesitating to put down what she is doing to read the messages.

[Su Shi: Xiao Mu, are you free on May 5th? ]

[Su Shi: If you have time, let's go play together? ]

Mu opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the message. She knew that Su Shi was a person who would not easily refuse others. If someone asked Su Shi out, Su Shi would happily agree. But she also knew that Su Shi was essentially a roommate, and it would be extremely difficult to get her to take the initiative to ask others out to play.

Is it really because of Xiangzi?

It is natural for Mu to think so. Su Shi usually talks to her about Xiangzi and Crychic. Her concern for Mu is basically just care as a friend. It's just that compared to the classmates around Su Shi in school, Mu and Su Shi are together more often.

But Mu didn't hate it.

【Mu: That day is Green Day, I am going to the park to plant trees. 】

Of course, planting is also one of Mu's few hobbies. Even though Su Shi may have other purposes, Mu will not give up her original schedule just because Su Shi asks her out.

Would Su Shi be disappointed, or would she just be annoyed that I once again didn't do what she wanted?

Just as Mu was staring at the screen in a daze, another message came from his phone.

[Su Shi: It's okay, I will go to the park with Mu, I also want to get to know Mu better. ]

Mu saw the message from Su Shi and widened his eyes in surprise. This was not Su Shi's usual style. Did Su Shi have other plans? Or was it really like what Su Shi said, that she began to care more about Mu?

However, no matter what she said, Mu had no reason to reject Su Shi, so she sent a message to Su Shi.

【Mu: Got it.】

Chapter 63 Gifts, group chat, fatigue.

On the 45th floor of a building in Roppongi, Tokyo, in a huge room with not even the lights on, Nagasaki Suyo was lying on a big bed with a soft mattress, looking at her mobile phone. The decoration in the room lacked the girlish feeling that a girl of Suyo's age should have, and even the sense of life was a bit lacking. If you didn't say that this was Suyo's home, others would only think it was a luxury hotel.

Su Shi watched Mu reply to her message accepting the invitation and put down her phone. Because she was lying on her side, her eyes quickly focused on the table not far away, on which was a white metal ring.

That was the product of a former partner of her mother's company. In fact, the Su Shi family was not like those young ladies from famous families who would follow their mothers to attend those celebrity banquets. It was just that those people came to visit when her mother was not at home and insisted on giving their new products to Su Shi and asking Su Shi's mother to continue to invest and cooperate with their company.

Su Shi, who didn't ask much about his mother's work, certainly didn't dare to refuse. He left these new products they developed at home and made a decision after his mother came back.

Unfortunately, the cooperation between Su Shi Ma Company and that company was eventually terminated. Not only that, no company was willing to invest in that company's new products, resulting in that company's new products not entering the market. This batch of display products in Su Shi Jia's company became the few new products that remained.

The metal ring on the table is one of the products in that batch. It is actually a recording device, but it looks like an ordinary metal ring, which is very disguised. It has the function of automatically identifying human voices and recording only when there are human voices. After the automatic recording is turned on, it can continue to run for up to seven days.

This metal ring can be said to be made for secretly recording, but no one is optimistic about the performance of this product in the market. In fact, the company's self-developed products are basically like this, which looks a bit technological but is useless, which is why no one is interested in this batch of products.

However, Su Shi never thought that one day she would want to use these products. She could only blame Mu for not telling her the news about Xiangzi.

The new band put too much pressure on her. She originally thought it was just a casual band, but with Qing and Lixi's leadership, the band quickly established a complete plan and activity guidelines.

The most important thing is that these people really seem to be planning to form a lifelong band together. Although Qing and Aine didn't swear like Suze and Li Xi to form a lifelong band, they are really aiming to form a lifelong band and are seriously considering how to achieve it.

Su Shi still remembers what Qing said at that time: "I don't know if you said you want a lifetime, was it just a casual remark or was it just an impulse out of youth."

Apparently, Sushi is the one who speaks casually, while Lixi is the young and impulsive one.

Plus, sometimes Qing asked her some questions, such as "Has Crychic disbanded?" and what she said to Li Xi before the meeting today, "If there is anything that can be solved through the band, don't keep it in your heart." This really made Su Shi feel like she was seen through.

This is also the reason why Su Shi would take urgent action. She is worried that if Qing and Aine continue to infiltrate the band, Deng and Li Xi will be "happy here and not want to leave". If she takes action at that time, not only may she fail to force Qing and Aine out of the band, but she herself may be kicked out.

Fortunately, Qing's guitar level is that of a novice, and Ain doesn't look like an expert either. There is still a month left before the Live. As long as we can find a way to prevent Qing and the others from practicing well, the team will naturally lose morale when the Live fails.

It's just like in competitive events where results are above all else, the same goes for band performances. If the performance is not successful, cracks will appear in even the most united band.

But leaving the fate of Crychic's resurrection to the poor performance of others is not Su Shi's style. She prefers to control everything in her own hands, just like her mother did when she was in the business world.

So, Mu, please don't let me down again. If you tell me Xiangzi's whereabouts, you will receive a gift from me. If you still refuse to tell me, you will receive a secret recording device.

Just as Su Shi's thoughts were becoming increasingly dark, her cell phone vibrated again and the screen lit up. Su Shi thought it was Mu who had sent her a message, so she picked up the phone and saw that the person who had sent the message was Ain.

[Ain: Sushi-san, I'm sorry for involving you in the matter between Qingqing and I this afternoon.]

【Ain: Apology emoticon Gif】

Su Shi sighed, unlocked her phone, and replied to Aine, saying it was okay. Then Su Shi suddenly remembered that she still had to send Aine and the others the video of Crychic practicing "Haruhi Kage" as agreed in the afternoon.

Su Shi opened her SNS account and skillfully clicked on the video that proved that Crychic once existed. After entering the video, she did not immediately share it to the new band group. Instead, she watched the entire video in a daze, and then shared the video to the band group as if she had just woken up from a dream.

As a result, as soon as Su Shi sent the message to the group, Aine replied immediately.

[Ain: Is this the "Haruhi Shadow" that Crychic played before? Let me see how good you are! ]

【Love Sound: Spirit Jpg】

Su Shi frowned. This pink-haired girl seemed to be very idle. Is it really okay if she doesn't practice guitar well? Also, why didn't other people in the group send messages? Don't you have anything to say?

Then after a few minutes, a message finally came in the group, but unfortunately, it was still from Aine.

[Aine: Wow, Deng sings really well! And Suye's bass and Lixi's drums are also great! ]

Su Shi sighed helplessly again, from the message sent by Ain, it can be seen that Ain is the kind of person who doesn't know much about music, or she is deliberately trying to please Su Shi and Li Xi.

In this video, Deng does sing very well, but the most prominent sound of the song "Spring Shadow" is the piano, and the difficulty coefficient of the rhythm group is very low. In fact, in Crychic, Su Shi and Li Xi are also the two at the bottom of the level.

But after sighing, Su Shi couldn't help but raise her lips slightly, because Aine praised Crychic, who she valued the most. Just when she was about to post something, Li Xi sent a message first.

[Lixi: What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it natural that Deng sings well? ]

【Aine: Wow, so cold! You should take this kind of compliment well!】

[Lixi: You can start practicing guitar after listening to this, right? You might as well practice more instead of hanging out in the group! ]

【Qing: By the way, if Deng saw what you said to Lixi, she would think that you meant "it's the lead singer's responsibility to sing well, and he should be blamed if he doesn't sing well." 】

[Lixi: I didn’t mean that! ]

【Lixi: I mean Deng sang very well, there is no doubt about that.】

[Ain: Eh? Qingqing, why are you here? You didn't even reply to my message. ]

【Qing: Thanks to someone, I just hung up the phone call from my homeroom teacher, so of course I don’t have time to read your message. 】

[Aine: Ahahaha…shy expression pack Gif]

[Lixi: Don’t talk about things that only you two understand in the band group.]

【Ain: Got it, we chatted privately. 】

【Blue: Panda cute expression pack Jpg】

On the first day of its official establishment, the group actually started to get lively. This made Su Shi alert again.

But Li Xi is also right. Isn't this completely controlled by Qing? Su Shi smiled helplessly, and finally did not reply to the message. He covered his phone and lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

……

Not long ago, Li Xi, who was originally thinking hard about how to adapt the song, saw the Crychic version of "Haruhi Shadow" practice video sent by Su Shi. Past thoughts surged in her mind, and she finally clicked on the video and took the opportunity to eat and drink the coffee and chocolate on the table without wasting a moment.

In the video, she saw the past Crychic, the gentle Xiangzi. She pulled Mu next to her into the camera and comforted Deng. This gentle Xiangzi and the gifted and omnipotent Xiangzi are the Xiangzi in her impression. But why was it raining that day?

After watching the video with emotion, she returned to the Line chat session and saw Aine’s message praising them.

But Li Xi was not happy about being praised. She knew that Kasuga Shadow had not fully demonstrated its strength, and Deng and Xiangzi were the ones who should be praised the most. As for Su Shi? Li Xi didn't want to make fun of the bass, but the bass in Kasuga Shadow really didn't have much presence.

Obviously, Aiyin only praised herself and Sushi because they were bandmates, not because of her own abilities. For Li Xi, it would be better not to praise her, because she has heard too many similar compliments.

"As expected of Maki's sister, you're amazing!"

Li Xi gritted his teeth and replied to Ai Yin in the group. Although it was just a text message, Li Xi's irritability and unhappiness could be felt between the words.

But it was unreasonable to get angry at Aine, Li Xi had been trying his best to suppress the irritability in his heart, and only mentioning Deng and not himself was the result of his patience.

However, Aine still wanted Riki to accept the compliment frankly. Riki finally got emotional towards Aine and asked Aine very impolitely to practice more. She just wanted to end the topic quickly.

But after sending the message, Li Xi regretted it. She knew that Aine was not wrong, and the problem was that she was sensitive and irritable. However, it was impossible for her to admit her mistake to Aine frankly.

Then Qing's message appeared. Following Qing's words, Li Xi looked at the message he had sent out in a hurry and found that what Qing said was very likely true. Combined with the example of Qing explaining for Deng this afternoon, Li Xi suddenly panicked.

She hurriedly sent messages to clarify her meaning. Fortunately, Aiyin changed the subject, but Lixi still insisted that they chat privately and ended the group chat. By the way, she saved the panda emoticon package sent by Qing.

Seeing that there were no more messages coming from her phone, Lixi put on her headphones again and played her own adaptation of "Haruhi Shadow" on her computer. Thinking back to the keyboard version of "Haruhi Shadow" in the video just now, she felt a clear gap.

It's not just the difference in talent. Xiangzi saw Deng's talent at that time, while she was always questioning it. Xiangzi was always comforting Deng, while she was putting pressure on Deng... No wonder Qing would point out the inappropriateness of what she had just said on behalf of Deng: "Isn't it natural that Deng sings very well?"

My personality is really bad... Actually, I didn’t want to speak to Aine in such an aggressive tone just now.

In the dim room, the feeling of frustration was constantly corroding Lixi's heart.

……

Earlier, Qing was checking some matters related to joining the online music platform at home.

"Glad to Serve" successfully became popular on YouTube, and her account "NoneMaker" was finally noticed by bigwigs. Some related music platforms have invited her to join and purchase song authorization.

Qing didn't know much about the music market before she traveled through time, not to mention that she had changed to a different world and country, so she was just looking up relevant information.

But suddenly a phone call interrupted her search. At first, Qing thought that a partner had found her and called her. After all, isn't that what is written in many novels?

It was only after I answered the phone that I realized it was my class teacher calling. To be honest, I didn't realize the person on the other end of the phone was my class teacher the moment I heard the phone call.

However, the head teacher quickly explained the reason for the call, and Qing immediately understood the situation.

It seems that Aiyin is still worried about Qing's injuries, so she called the homeroom teacher to explain the situation. Qing had no choice but to explain what happened last night in more detail.

In the end, the class teacher was still worried. After learning that Qing did not call the police, he insisted on coming tomorrow to take Qing to find the police.

In fact, because Qing traveled through time, her current address is different from the address the school collected when she enrolled. As long as Qing does not tell the head teacher her current address, the head teacher will not be able to find her tomorrow.
