"Hey, what do you want to do with someone else's phone?"

But Qing deliberately avoided Lixi's hand and kept clicking on Lixi's mobile phone. In desperation, Lixi left his seat, walked to Qing's seat, and used both hands to grab Qing's hand holding the mobile phone.

“I just sent the demo to the band group. It’s nothing.”

Qing had no choice but to use various actions to avoid Lixi's arrest. Thanks to the advantage of his long arms, when Qing raised his body and arms outward, Lixi's hands could not reach them, so he could only squeeze his body towards the direction of Qing's raised hands.

"Give me back my phone!"

"Wait a minute, could you please stop squeezing me? This position... is terrible!"

Qing felt that Lixi was leaning forward continuously in order to reach her hand, and finally most of her upper body was pressed on Qing's body. The girl's body fragrance with a strong smell of coffee permeated Qing's nostrils, and the two soft lumps of her employee uniform were pressed directly in front of Qing. The extremely elastic impact made Qing feel a little dizzy.

Shiina Riki's body, which combines the youthfulness and precocity of a girl, is so terrifying!

This was Qing's last thought before his consciousness was paralyzed by the electric shock. Yes, without any system prompt, Qing was punished by the system.

Qing, who was being subjected to electric shock, naturally had no strength to compete with Lixi for the phone. Lixi quickly snatched his phone back. When he saw the screen showing that the demo was only one step away from being sent out, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked himself for his quick action.

Then Li Xi wanted to glare at Qing who took her mobile phone without permission, but then she realized that Qing was now being pressed under her. If Qing was not constantly twitching and convulsing, and even drooling from the corners of his mouth, this scene would have seemed very ambiguous.

Seeing that Qing looked abnormal, Li Xi gave up the idea of breathing on Qing and quickly pulled back, asking in a bewildered manner: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

However, Qing still hadn't recovered from the electric shock. He just slumped in the chair, his eyes dull and his body twitching as if he was having a seizure.

Li Xi couldn't help but think about what he did wrong to make Qing like this. But except that he was a little too close to Qing, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his behavior just now, right?

It couldn't be that Qing was allergic to other people's close contact, right? After all, Qing and a certain pink-haired girl seemed to be quite close.

Could it be that Qing had some psychological trauma, and her excessive movements just now had caused a stress reaction? Or did Qing have some physical or mental illness that triggered it?

Li Xi was not the type of person who would think so much, but Qing was already looking like she was about to die, so she had to rack her brains to think about how to deal with such a scene. But she didn't know the reason, nor did she know the solution, so she could only try to ask Qing to wake her up.

"Hey, are you okay? Do you need someone to take you to the hospital?"

Lixi patted Qing's cheeks twice in an attempt to get Qing to respond.

"No... just stay away from me..."

Qing spat out these words with trembling voice, as if she had used up all her strength. After she finished speaking, she lay on the table like a dead dog.

Li Xi stopped what she was doing as Qing asked and kept a certain distance from Qing. Although she reacted immediately, Qing told her to stay away. Did it mean that Qing became like this because she was too close to him just now?

"Feel sorry……"

Li Xi is not a person who is used to saying sorry. In fact, Li Xi does not think that she has done anything wrong. After all, ignorance is not a crime. She did not know that she would become like this after getting close to Qing. But in this situation, if apologizing can make Qing feel better, Li Xi is still willing to apologize.

After more than ten seconds, Qing raised his head slowly, panting heavily, with layers of cold sweat oozing out of his body. He looked at Li Xi's blurry figure with distracted eyes and said, "I'm fine... It will be fine if I take it easy..."

In the final analysis, the punishment of the system only gives pain equivalent to electric shock, and it does not really electrify Qing's body, so it will not cause damage to the body, but will only cause some physiological reactions. Coupled with the effect of "Legendary Stress Resistance", as long as the system stops the punishment, Qing will soon return to normal.

Seeing that Qing's condition was gradually improving, Li Xi asked carefully: "Are you really okay? Don't you need to see a doctor? Do you know what's going on?"

Although Qing looked scary just now, Li Xi felt a little relieved when she saw that the situation had improved after she listened to Qing's words and stayed away from her. It seemed that Qing at least understood her condition, so she could at least follow Qing's instructions.

Qing did not answer Li Xi, but gasped heavily. However, in fact, she could have spoken normally a long time ago, but Qing was taking advantage of this time to think about how to get rid of this matter.

After all, she couldn't tell Li Xi that she had a system that would punish anyone who got close to someone other than Aine, right? She had to come up with an excuse that would convince Li Xi.

Soon, Qing thought of a decent excuse and said, "It's okay. I'm just allergic to the smell of coffee. It will be fine after I stay away from it."

At this time, Lixi had a strong smell of coffee on his body because he drank coffee for a long time and often made coffee at RING. This became Qing's excuse.

Another advantage of using this excuse is that you don't have to worry that Li Xi will be afraid to get close to her. Although Qing can't get close to other people, normal contact is still possible. It would be troublesome if Li Xi was afraid to have normal contact with her from then on because of this incident.

The only downside is that from now on Qing can no longer drink coffee in front of Lixi or even other people in the band. However, Qing didn't like coffee in the first place. She had already drunk enough of it before she traveled through time, so this price was nothing to her.

"Uh, that's it."

After figuring out the situation, Li Xi probably felt that he was not calm enough just now, so he immediately crossed his arms, turned his head away, and said coolly, "If there is such a thing, you should have explained it earlier! This way I can avoid it in advance."

Qing nodded in agreement and admitted his mistake straightforwardly: "This is indeed a point I didn't mention in advance. I'm sorry."

Of course, it was impossible to tell him this in advance, because Qing's "coffee allergy" was also made up on the spot, so it would be a miracle if he could tell me this in advance. I can only apologize.

Li Xi saw that Qing seemed to be able to speak normally and looked no different from before, so he returned to his seat.

Qing first took a sip of black tea to calm down, then looked up and asked: "Why do you want to stop me from sending the demo to the group?"

Li Xi clicked his tongue, thinking that Qing was troublesome, and then made up other excuses: "No, it's all because you took my phone without permission, and I subconsciously..."

Li Xi didn't finish what she was going to say, but Qing already knew what she meant, so Qing bowed his head and apologized very sincerely: "I see, I was rude, I apologize."

Li Xi looked away. She felt guilty about Qing's apology. After all, she didn't want Qing to send out the demo because she was afraid of being compared with Xiangzi. She wanted to delay it because she still had the fluke mentality that inspiration would burst out in the future. Especially after Qing Rui's comment that "a fake can't beat the real thing", Li Xi had even less confidence.

So Li Xi didn't dare to look directly into Qing's sincere eyes. He crossed his arms and looked away and said: "Well, there's no need to be like this..."

Just as Li Xi finished speaking, Qing pressed on and asked: "Since it was because of me that you failed to send out the demo, then you should be able to send out the demo yourself now, right?"

"what?"

The contrast between Qing's weak apology and further force to force Lixi to take action caught Lixi off guard. Coupled with his resistance to doing this in his heart, Lixi subconsciously responded with his own catchphrase.

Then Li Xi reacted and frowned and said, "No, it's not your turn to worry about this kind of thing, right?"

Qing continued calmly, "But won't we have to show it to our teammates sooner or later? If we release it sooner, everyone will have a better idea of what to do, and maybe practice ahead of time. Isn't that good?"

All the issues raised by Qing were for the sake of the team, which made Lixi unable to refute them either verbally or mentally. Finally, Lixi said in a self-deprecating manner: "Ah! I know! I'll post it!"

Qing Buwang reminded him: "I should be just one step away from sending the song. You should only need one click to complete it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi straightened up the tilted screen of his phone, glanced at Qing's gaze, and tapped the screen a few times with a guilty conscience before putting the phone down. It was obvious that Li Xi had just exited the sharing interface after getting the phone back.

Qing saw what Lixi did, but did not expose it. He just picked up the phone and opened the group chat. After confirming that Lixi had indeed sent the music file, Lixi had no intention of sending any more messages, so Qing typed an explanation in the group chat.

【Qing: Li Xi's adaptation of "Spring Shadow" Demo, everyone come and listen to how it works, and if you have any suggestions, it will be convenient for modification. 】

Li Xi also saw Qing's actions and received the message from Qing. After seeing the message from Qing, Li Xi's eyes jumped, and he sighed, and asked in a confused tone: "Why on earth could you do this for this matter?"

Qing put down his phone and raised his head slightly, as if thinking about something, then slowly said: "Before Deng and I became friends, Deng was as troublesome as you... No, Deng was much more troublesome than you."

"Huh? Why did you mention lights?"

When Li Xi heard Qing suddenly say that Deng was troublesome, she would have been furious if she didn't know that Qing and Deng had a close relationship and there might be a twist later.

Qing lowered his head and looked into Riki's eyes, with sincerity in his eyes, and continued to speak seriously in a cold voice: "At that time, Aine and I did things like what we did just now in order to help Deng come out of the shadow of Crychic. In my opinion, you, Deng, and even Su Shi are all problem children who need tolerance and help."

After hearing Qing's words, Li Xi couldn't help but slam the table in anger and asked: "Why do you say we are problem children?"

Qing was not intimidated by Li Xi's angry momentum. He still looked straight into Li Xi's eyes and said calmly: "I can tell you all the problems, but I know that's not what you want to hear. You only need to look at Deng. If you really know Deng well enough, you should be able to understand what kind of positive changes Deng has undergone under the joint efforts of Ain and me. This is enough to show that Ain and I are serious about helping you, and we really want to tolerate and understand you."

Qing's words surprised Li Xi. She had a complicated impression of Qing. On the one hand, Qing was the one who helped Deng decide to re-form the band. On the other hand, Qing had always suppressed herself in terms of the band and interpersonal relationships. This made Li Xi want to accept Qing in her heart, but she often subconsciously wanted to resist Qing.

But Li Xi didn't expect Qing to say such words to her so sincerely. Even she could feel that Qing really wanted to help her. But...

"No need for help, my problems will be solved by themselves. Don't bother with my affairs anymore."

Lixi lowered her head and spoke in a deep voice, her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

What Riki wants is to prove herself, to find the meaning of her existence as "Shiina Riki". She can't rely on others for this kind of thing, right? If she relies on others, will her persistence still have meaning?

Li Xi was ready to be blamed by Qing. After all, no one likes to be rejected. In fact, Li Xi didn't want to say it so coldly. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for Li Xi to express his refusal while acknowledging the other party's kindness.

"Really? Then let's not think about solving the problem first, let's start with mutual tolerance and understanding. If there is anything you want to say, feel free to speak up to everyone in the band."

To Lixi's surprise, Qing did not say anything sharp or harsh, but remained friendly.

Li Xi looked at Qing with a complicated expression. The girl's tall figure was just as she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Although Qing's posture of holding the cup was not standard, it still gave people a feeling of tranquility and elegance. The hot steam of the tea rose in front of the girl, making her close her eyes gently while drinking tea, making her temperament seem extraordinary and otherworldly.

At this moment, although Qing's musical level is still a novice in Lixi's heart, he has already placed Qing in a position that he needs to catch up with, just like his sister and Xiangzi.

Because Li Xi believes that she cannot match Qing's eloquence, rhetoric, and empathy. More importantly, she cannot be as tolerant and accepting of troublesome people like herself as Qing.

Unlike her sister, Xiangzi, who can properly handle the relationship with everyone, people like Qing, who have the attitude and behavior towards others, are what Lixi wants to be.

Chapter 73 Assignment, Purpose, Message.

As a fake high school student with adult thinking, Liu Zeqing also has a certain foresight and God's perspective. She has been playing the role of a dragon in this girls' high school. Many things can be said to be under her control.

But she couldn't predict everything, such as Lixi's current mood. Although Lixi was almost the most understandable character on the Mygo set, Qing still couldn't guess what Lixi was thinking.

If Qing knew that her good handling of interpersonal relationships would cause Lixi to feel inferior to her, she would never have done so.

After all, Qing's original idea was to relieve Lixi's pressure, so she herself could not become a person who made Lixi feel pressured.

Unfortunately, Qing believes that he has not shown any musical talent, so he does not think that Li Xi's current silence is due to his inferiority complex. In Qing's opinion, it is normal for someone like Li Xi, who has a strong self-esteem and cannot speak, to remain silent when faced with questions he does not know how to answer.

So Qing thought for a moment and continued, "I will ask you for something in the future without hesitation, so please don't refuse."

Taking the initiative to accept favors is a good way to break down social barriers when dealing with people you don't know very well, especially in Japan, where people emphasize not to cause trouble to others. When Qing first moved to Akabane, he would ask his neighbors to do small things for him from time to time, and then give them gifts to thank them. Now the neighbors are very caring about Qing.

When facing someone like Li Xi who is hard to ask for help, it would be better to ask Li Xi first. Even if Li Xi doesn't ask for help in return, Qing can use the excuse of thanking him to do something to deepen the relationship between the two parties, thus gradually breaking down the wall in his heart.

Lixi was also stunned after hearing Qing's words. Her sister and Xiangzi had never asked her for help before, and they could handle everything by themselves. Qing also gave Lixi the same feeling just now. She didn't expect Qing would ask her for help.

So Li Xi raised his head, held his chin with curiosity, looked at Qing and asked: "Is there anything you need from me?"

Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Remember what I said before that I couldn't read the functional score? In fact, I can't even read the guitar score now."

"Forehead……"

Lixi felt speechless that Qing could so bluntly say that she was a rookie, but since she had entered the field of music, which she was more proficient in, she regained some confidence in front of Qing.

"But I have already started learning the relevant music theory knowledge, so after I buy the guitar today, probably in the evening, I will try to write out the guitar score based on the song you sent me, just as homework, and then I hope you can help me check if there are any mistakes in my writing."

Qing put his hands together with his fingers interlaced, making a gesture of request.

"You just started learning music and you want to transcribe music?"

This was Li Xi's first thought. Then she realized that she seemed to have subconsciously used a questioning tone again, so she tried to soften her tone and continued, "I think you should practice the fingering of the chords first."

Well, even though Lixi tried her best to speak in a calm tone, the words she said still sounded contemptuous and provocative.

In fact, Li Xi's doubts and suggestions are reasonable. Although she is not a guitarist, she understands music. For guitar novices, especially those who will soon participate in group practice and live performances, it is much more important to seize the time to practice than to learn music theory. In fact, there are also a group of guitarists who do not understand music theory among those who play music, and they can still rely on practice to reach the level of participating in live performances.

Qing didn't pay too much attention to Li Xi's attitude, and just stated his own reasons: "My fingers are not used to playing the guitar yet, so I can't practice for too long at the beginning. So it's better to learn some music theory knowledge while letting my fingers rest to deepen my understanding of music. And this can also reduce your workload of writing music."

"No, it won't reduce the workload at all. I have to read the whole score anyway and pick out the mistakes... If there are only a few mistakes, it's fine, but I can't imagine what you would write."

Li Xi retorted mercilessly.

Qing remained unmoved, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as I feel I have helped you, at least this will make me more motivated to continue."

"Are you... fooling me?"

Li Xi asked somewhat annoyed, frowning at Qing.

"No, I was seriously asking you for help from the beginning to the end, right?"

Qing responded without avoiding Li Xi's cold gaze.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Li Xi finally gave in. Although it seemed that Qing was asking Li Xi for help, Li Xi always felt that Qing had other purposes in asking her to send out the song, just like asking her to send out the song just now, otherwise there would be no need to persuade her so hard. But she couldn't guess what Qing was up to, and she became annoyed.

Finally, Li Xi found an excuse to shirk the responsibility: "You can ask Ai Yin, right? Can't she understand guitar tabs? And the relationship between you two will be better, right?"

Qing looked straight at Li Xi, then showed a disappointed expression, lowered his head slightly, and asked in a tone lower than usual: "Don't you really want to help me?"

Li Xi looked at Qing, who was always confident and tough in front of her, and saw a look of disappointment and frustration. She was at a loss for a moment and stammered: "No...that's not the case..."

"Then why won't you agree to my request? This obviously isn't a big deal for you, right?"

Before Lixi could finish his words, Qing interrupted him and asked.

Of course, I think you asked me for another purpose... But even Li Xi would not say such words directly. Because of Qing's previous explanation and sincerity, it was not difficult for Li Xi to guess that even if Qing really had another purpose, it was for him.

Just like the senior who sent himself over to chat with Qing, if you directly tell Lixi that you want to do something for her, Lixi will refuse you because of her awkward personality; but you take great pains to hide the fact that you are doing something for Lixi, and then even if Lixi finds out, she will be embarrassed to refuse your kindness.

So no matter whether Qing has other purposes or not, it is difficult for Li Xi to refuse Qing now.

In the end, Li Xi reluctantly agreed: "I understand, I promise you! Really..."

When Qing heard that Lixi had finally agreed, she nodded in thanks and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qing would ask Lixi for help for another purpose, of course. In addition to allowing Lixi to make requests to him without hesitation and using thank you as an excuse to bring the two closer, Qing also prepared an operation that would be triggered at random.

That is, the score that I will send to Li Xi tonight will be the animated version of the double guitar version of "Spring Shadow" after the cat is born. Of course, Qing will deliberately leave some mistakes that novices often make.

In this way, even if this score provided inspiration for Lixi and allowed her to write the final double guitar version of "Spring Shadow", Qing could also say that she had good luck during the novice protection period and accidentally wrote a better version.

As for if Li Xi fails to discover the secret of this score, Qing will not feel discouraged, because she is already prepared to bring Le Na into the band. After Le Na's arrival, the final version of "Haruhi Shadow" will naturally be born.

However, with the "inspiration" that Qing gave to Lixi, the music score completed by Lixi herself will definitely give Lixi more confidence and help her get rid of the influence of her inferiority complex.
