Qing didn't look at Xiangzi at all. He still looked down at the list and said casually: "Our band doesn't have a keyboard, so Li Xi adapted a double guitar version. She seems to want to write "Spring Shadow" for our band. As the main creator of "Spring Shadow", can I hear your thoughts?"

When Xiangzi heard "Spring Shadow, which belongs to our band", he clenched his fist unconsciously, then gritted his teeth and replied: "I have nothing to say, it has nothing to do with me."

Qing heard Xiangzi's tone, which was obviously wrong, and then he seemed to remember something, raised his head and said: "By the way, you are considered the creator of "Haruhi Kage". From the perspective of copyright, do we need to obtain your consent before we can play it live?"

Xiangzi closed his eyes, calmed down a little, and replied coldly: "It is your freedom to play if you want to. Please feel free to do so."

"That's it..."

After hearing Xiangzi's answer, Qing silently took out her mobile phone and clicked on the double guitar version of "Spring Shadow" posted by Li Xi, and played it in front of Xiangzi. She even hummed along with the melody.

When Xiangzi heard the familiar melody and the unfamiliar clear guitar tone, his eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Qing who was shaking his head in front of him. Qing had no doubt that Xiangzi would suddenly change his tone in the next second and loudly ask "Why are you playing "Spring Shadow"? "

"Are you kidding me?"

Xiangzi pushed the ground sideways with his feet, clenched a fist and pressed it against his chest, and spoke in a vigilant and defensive posture.

Qing pressed the pause button, his face full of confusion, and asked back: "Didn't you say that it is our freedom to play? Then is there any problem with me singing here?"

Xiangzi felt his blood pressure rising. It was not that high even when he was arguing with his father just now.

In fact, if Qing and the others were to play "Haruhi no Shadow", although it would indeed make Xiangzi's mind a little unstable and she would be hurt by the memories of the past and the cruelty of reality, it would not make her so angry. What made her angry was Qing's attitude. It seemed that Qing had been provoking her since the beginning, as if he was deliberately trying to anger her.

In fact, Xiangzi's feeling was not wrong. Qing was deliberately controlling the temperature. His purpose was not to pay tribute to the legendary second creation "It's Your Freedom to Perform", but to give Xiangzi desensitization training.

In order to prevent Xiangzi from accidentally coming to their Live, being attacked by Mao Mao, and finally running away crying in front of Su Shi, Qing has been giving Xiangzi a shot of prevention from now on. Although she will try her best to avoid the Kasuga Shadow Incident, it is worth it to let Xiangzi be mentally prepared anyway.

The best thing would be that even if the story develops as it originally did, Xiangzi would just remain indifferent when hearing about "Haruhi Shadow" which does not belong to Crychic. This would be the best.

Xiangzi was retorted by Qing with the words she had just said. Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't find any reason to refute. He couldn't just slap himself in the face at the speed of light, right?

But it was impossible for Xiangzi to hold back her anger like Lixi did. She turned away, not looking at Qing's irritating face, and said, "I have something else to do later. I'll leave first. Sorry for disturbing you."

After that, Xiangzi walked straight to the employee locker room. Qing reminded Xiangzi from behind: "The uniforms are in my locker, I didn't lock it."

Xiangzi did not respond, but Qing did not care whether Xiangzi heard it or not. Instead, he walked to the senior in front of the oden stall and said, "Senior, can you give me a portion of radish?"

"Oh, no problem."

Then I made a portion of radish oden for Qing.

Just then, Xiangzi had changed his clothes and was ready to leave. Qing picked up the oden and walked over to Xiangzi, handed him the radish, and said, "Take it. Eating radish can help you calm down when you are angry."

Xiangzi looked at Qing speechlessly and thought: So you know I am angry.

Thinking this, Xiangzi looked at the radish in Qing's hand. For some reason, he had already calmed down before he ate it, but she still refused coldly, "No need."

After saying that, Xiangzi left the store. Qing looked at Xiangzi's back as he left in a rage, picked up a bamboo stick and put the radish into his mouth, sighing, "What a pity, it's obviously delicious."

Chapter 89: Ghosts, inspiration, and dreams.

When Liu Zeqing was reading online novels, he would often wonder why those time travelers could always work so hard and sweat to complete system tasks or earn points?

And now, Qing finally understood why those time travelers would be motivated to complete goals that required a lot of effort once they got a system.

Because it feels so good to get positive feedback from the improvement. Qing didn't have this feeling before, probably because she never played the piano after gaining professional-level piano playing ability, and at most she just used the music theory knowledge she learned by the way to complete the arrangement.

Qing originally wanted to buy a MIDI keyboard to make her arrangement more convenient, but after thinking about it carefully, if she bought a MIDI keyboard, she would also have to buy audio equipment and a sound card, right? It would cost a lot to get a good set, so she gave up.

But today she finally got her own guitar, and for the first time she felt the impact of the system-activated skills on herself so personally that she was almost so excited that she wanted to hold the guitar tightly.

In a word, playing guitar is fun!

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the skills activated before are useless, but for something like playing the guitar from scratch, from a knowledgeable newbie to a big shot in her eyes, the positive feedback is too great.

If playing guitar at an amateur level is so cool, how cool would it be to play piano at a professional level? Qing had already secretly decided to buy a set of audio equipment and an electronic keyboard after the income from the song came in next month.

Well, should I learn from Daxiang and play the piano in the wind band? Haha, just kidding. If I really do this, I think it will be troublesome if people I know find out.

Just when Qing was immersed in playing the guitar, her phone rang with a message. Qing picked up the phone and saw that it was Aiyin who posted a message on SNS.

Aine didn't actually tell Qing about her SNS account, but Qing had already found Aine's SNS account and followed her before Aine transferred to Yugaoka. We can only say that our single pushers are like this, and the main thing is that they have strong subjective initiative.

Qing clicked on Aine's status, and the text read "I'm back", followed by photos taken at the aquarium today, but Qing was not in any of these photos. This was understandable, after all, it was not appropriate to post the photos that Qing was in.

Thinking of this, Qing sent a message to Aine, asking her to send the photo of her and her to her. Although she couldn't send it out, it was still worth keeping, and who knows, maybe she and Aine would develop a relationship that would allow them to send such photos out.

While waiting for Aine's reply, Aogiri returned to the SNS platform and clicked on the comments under the post. Surprisingly, someone left a message so quickly, asking if Aine had returned to Japan, and Aine responded in the affirmative.

Seeing this, Qing revealed a relieved smile. It seemed that he had helped Aine to face her past failures. His arrival still had a positive impact on Aine, and he did not let down the feelings that Aine had for him.

At this time, Ain sent a reply, without saying much, just two pictures. The first picture was of course the photo that Qing wanted to save; the second picture was a screenshot, and the content of the screenshot was the chat record between Ain and Qing.

Qing saved the first picture, then looked at the second picture. She smiled slightly, clicked on the conversation settings, and changed the chat background with Ain to this photo. After finishing, she also took a screenshot and sent it to Ain.

This way, their chat session background images were the same. After receiving Qing's screenshot, Aiyin quickly replied with an emoticon pack saying "I love you".

Qing slowly raised his head, and the scenes of him and Aine kept switching in his mind. Finally, he recalled Aine's confession to him today and his reaction.

It was so embarrassing. It would have been fine if I hadn’t responded to Aine’s feelings, but I cried like that and was comforted by Aine.

Then Qing thought about the pressure he had been under since he came here, and how confused he was at that time when he was alone.

"This is the last song. After playing it, it's time to get down to business."

Qing warned himself.

Qing picked up the guitar and played a few simple legato notes before singing in Chinese, which she hadn't used for a long time: "I never thought of hurting anyone/I'm sorry for everything."

Qing sang, as if she saw the moment she met Le Nai after she traveled through time, and realized that the characters she knew were all flesh-and-blood humans. Then she was confused about whether she should intervene in their stories, but in the end she had to contact them because of her situation, carrying the mission of making them better and the apology for affecting their fate.

Then Qing picked up the speed of strumming the guitar in his hand and sang: "But my inferiority complex outweighed all those who loved me/So I killed all those who loved me/But your sadness outweighed all those who loved you/So you killed me."

Recalling the time when she came to the campus, Qing saw the girls full of youth and vigor. She could not understand their conversations and could not integrate into their group, so Qing chose to isolate herself. For this world of girl bands full of youth and dreams, Qing only had a soul that was no longer passionate and a hollow body. She was afraid that she could not give Aiyin what she should have, so her inferiority complex rejected Aiyin's confession.

After a brief pause, it exploded again: "For what am I shedding blood/For whom am I shedding tears/I hide in the night and laugh at the darkness/Because no one can kill ghosts."

The performance came to an abrupt end. Qing did not continue to play the remaining half of the song. She took a deep breath, put down the guitar, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that no matter how good your guitar skills are, you still have to keep practicing guitar regularly."

Qing shook her left hand, as if shaking it would get rid of the pain caused by pressing the strings. She ignored the red marks on the pads of her left fingers, and went to the computer to recall the melody of "Spring Shadow" and began to write guitar music.

After all, I had agreed with Lixi that I would send this guitar score to her tonight. If it was sent too late, when Lixi realized that this score could bring her inspiration, she might stay up late or even all night to re-arrange "Spring Shadow".

After writing down the guitar tab of Mygo's version of "Spring Shadow" from memory, Qing deliberately made mistakes in a dozen unimportant places. This was not an easy task, because the mistakes had to be made in a way that would not affect the core feeling of the song, nor would they be so wrong that Li Xi would find out that Qing had made mistakes on purpose.

It took Qing longer time than writing down the score to finally modify the score. After checking it once and playing it along with the wrong score to make sure there would be no problem, Qing sent the guitar score to Lixi.

The next period of time can be used to write the arrangement of "Sakura". I don't have any other schedule tomorrow, so after I have used up my part-time working hours, the rest of the time can be used to arrange the music. I will try to finish this song during the Golden Week.

On the other side, after Li Xi received the guitar score sent by Qing, she remembered that she still had to revise the guitar score for Qing. She sighed and stopped the arrangement work. Today, after learning that Deng had already written the lyrics of the original song, she went home and immediately adapted "If You Can Shine", forgetting what she promised Qing.

Li Xi did not write a correct guitar score first and then proofread it with the score submitted by Qing. On the one hand, she forgot it before, and on the other hand, she felt that correcting Qing's mistakes bit by bit would help her deepen her understanding of the song, just like explaining the problem to others can also deepen her understanding of the knowledge points.

However, as she was making changes, Lixi frowned. She deleted all the changes she had made previously and restored them to their original state. Then she went through the entire score roughly, corrected a few obvious and discordant errors, and reviewed the score again.

Li Xi opened the project of "Spring Shadow" in the arrangement software in disbelief, and began to make some modifications to the score. Finally, he replaced the clean guitar tone that replaced the piano with the tone of the lead electric guitar. After pressing play, Li Xi's eyes lit up.

It sounds nice, and has a different style from the original piano version of "Spring Shadow". I can't say which song is better specifically, but this version of "Spring Shadow" is definitely better than my previous clumsy imitation of the original song.

The only doubt is whether Yu Deng can sing this version of "Spring Shadow" well. After all, the feeling of the song is completely different, and it is hard to say that the lead singer's singing style will not change.

If it is this version of "Spring Shadow", Deng must sing it more passionately and immersively.

In this regard, Li Xi did not doubt whether Deng's emotions when singing could control this version of "Spring Shadow". After all, you can question Deng's singing skills, but the only thing you cannot question is Deng's emotions.

In short, let's keep this version of the arrangement first, and we can discuss which version to choose later.

Lixi breathed a sigh of relief after writing down her inspiration in one breath. Then she looked at the music score that gave her inspiration with complicated eyes, as if she saw Qing's beautiful and tall figure behind the music score.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Qing.

【Lixi: Did you write this score yourself? 】

After a while, Qing sent a reply message.

【Qing: That’s right. You would ask, is my composition good?】

Lixi frowned. This sentence revealed the ignorance of a beginner, and instantly dispelled the idea that Qing had deliberately sent her such a score that could give her inspiration.

However, Li Xi didn't suspect Qing was playing dumb. After all, there was no reason for Qing to do that, right? Honestly telling the band about his true level was a good thing. With Qing's attention to the band, he shouldn't do anything to deliberately hold them back.

Moreover, to be able to unexpectedly compose music for yourself is not something that anyone can do. The person who can do this either has a much better composing skill than you, or she already has a better version of the song in her mind which can guide you to compose music according to the other person's pace.

Li Xi shook his head, put aside the unnecessary thoughts, picked up his phone and replied to Qing.

【Lixi: There are many things wrong. 】

【Qing: I see. Remember to send it to me and Aine after you have revised it. 】

Looking at Qing's reply, it seemed that Qing didn't care at all why Li Xi suddenly sent her a message asking her if the score was written by her. However, Li Xi didn't intend to explain too much to Qing at this point, but began to explain the current situation.

[Lixi: I wrote a new version of "Spring Shadow", and I will post the finished product in the group later. ]

[Qing: In that case, do you need me to rewrite a new score based on the new tune? ]

[Li Xi: No need, I have already prepared the score, I will send it to the group when the time comes, you can practice according to this version of the score. ]

【Qing: I understand.】

【Qing: It seems that you are very satisfied with this version of the song. 】

Li Xi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the message. He wondered why Qing was so perceptive, since they had only sent a few messages to each other over the Internet. After calming down, Li Xi sent a message to Qing in his usual tone. If they were not talking over the phone, Qing should have been able to read his thoughts from his expression. Li Xi had no doubt that Qing could do this.

【Lixi: It’s not bad. 】

[Qing: Because your attitude towards this version of the song is completely different from your attitude towards the song this morning. Now you dare to take the initiative to release the song, and you also take the initiative to arrange our practice, which shows that you have already determined this version of the song. ]

Although Lixi didn't ask anything, Qing seemed to see through the doubts in Lixi's mind and took the initiative to explain why she could see that Lixi was very satisfied with this version of the song.

Li Xi had no intention of replying to this message, but started to work on some details of the song. Seeing that Li Xi had not replied yet, Qing sent another message.

[Qing: I look forward to your confident work, but don’t stay up too late and don’t let your senior colleagues worry about you. ]

Li Xi saw the message, but she still didn't reply. Instead, she stared blankly at the cup of coffee on the table and murmured, "I won't work tomorrow. Is that okay?"

After saying that, Lixi picked up the cup of coffee and drank it all. Feeling the strong bitter coffee flavor, Lixi began to consider whether he should try the refreshing effect of drinking tea next time.

At midnight, it was already late, and a message suddenly came from the band group. Qing picked up his phone to check, and it was indeed the new version of "Spring Shadow" released by Li Xi, with both the functional score and the guitar score.

Considering time constraints, Qing had no intention of replying to the message, but she noticed the "Read: 2" mark next to the message sent by Lixi.

It seems that there is another person who doesn't want to reply after receiving the message, but who is it? It shouldn't be Aine, because Aine doesn't care about the time when replying to the message.

In fact, just as Qing thought, Aiyin was already fast asleep in bed at this time, but the expression on her face was not peaceful, as if she was having a bad dream.

90

Chapter 90 Precognitive Dreams, Radish, Victory.

Aine woke up from her sleep, and she subconsciously wiped away the tears with her hand because she was still asleep, or maybe because of the dream she could no longer remember yesterday.

After a short while, the pain from her fingertips sobered Ain up. She put away her hand that was wiping away her tears, and stood up from the bed, staring blankly at her left hand. The red mark on the fingertips that had not disappeared after a night showed how hard Ain had practiced guitar after returning from her date yesterday.

Rather, my fingers hurt more after I woke up today. Although it was painful when I pressed the chords with my left hand at the beginning yesterday, I got used to it after practicing patiently. On the contrary, it hurt more after I woke up after a good sleep because the sensitivity of the pain nerves was refreshed.

Even though it hurts, it is still necessary to persist in practicing. Yesterday, when Qing and I went to buy a guitar together, Qing showed off her advantage of having long and strong fingers. If I don't practice more, I might really be caught up by Qing.

Aiyin had no doubt about Qing's dedication to the band, and she would not slack off in her guitar practice, so in order not to be surpassed by Qing, Aiyin also increased her own practice. She practiced the guitar all night yesterday, and almost fell asleep immediately after putting the guitar down, which shows how much concentration Aiyin put into her guitar practice yesterday.

Aine got up and washed. When she picked up things, her fingers felt the pressure from touching the objects and it was painful, which made Aine a little distressed. She had originally thought that she would seize the time to practice today, but what should she do now?

Aiyin had no choice but to go back to her room and take out the band-aid that Deng had given her before, and wrapped it around her finger. Although it was a gift from Deng, she still had to use it, after all, it was a functional gift, and Deng also hoped that the band-aid she gave would help people get hurt less.

Well, you ask why a pink pick isn't used? I advise you to shut up.

After finishing, I came to the living room. Breakfast was already prepared and placed in the kitchen. Mom usually didn't wake Aiyin and Dad up for breakfast during the holidays, especially since Dad seemed to have worked overtime until very late yesterday. However, Dad's work seemed to be finished, so they could have a good vacation from now on.

Aiyin had to go jogging in the morning, so she only ate a little to prevent herself from running out of energy later. She could eat the rest after she came back from the jog.

Yesterday, because she was going out with Qing to buy a guitar, Aiyin was worried that she would not have enough time to take a shower after a morning run, so she simply did not run. Although Aiyin did not plan how long this morning run would last, it would be a bit too frivolous if she just ran once and then stopped, as if she was just running for a ritual to cover up something.

She ran to the familiar park again. Although Aiyin's running route last time was just a casual one and was not planned, she had already developed path dependence on the experience left by the last run. In the end, she stopped at a convenience store near the park to rest and buy water.

This time, the boss didn't say anything about Aiyin's frequent visits here before, but just calmly paid for Aiyin. However, if this long-term run can be maintained, Aiyin may really become a regular customer of this store.

After returning home, Dad just got up. Aiyin wanted to eat some more breakfast to replenish nutrition, so she had breakfast with Dad. Although Mom had already eaten breakfast, she still sat at the dining table. It was a rare occasion for the family to have breakfast together on holidays.

After the family chatted for a while, Aiyin saw that the atmosphere was good and made her own request: "Dad, do you know anything about cameras? I want to buy a camera to shoot some things, can you buy it for me?"

When Mr. Chihaya heard Aine's request, his hands trembled while he was eating breakfast. He raised his eyelids and asked with some pain: "Aine, are you interested in photography?"

Although Chihaya can still afford photography with his income, Aine is only a teenager. He can't believe how much it will cost if Aine insists on photography. It is not without reason that photography makes three generations poor and SLR cameras ruin your life.
