I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Li Xi complained: "Why does the lamp understand? I have no idea what this means!"

After hearing Deng's understanding, Aiyin also remembered what happened that day. Her face immediately turned red. She coughed twice and said, "Now that everyone is back, let's start practicing again."

But at this moment, the camera beeped and Aiyin saw the flashing icons and pop-up prompts on the screen, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"Eh? Low battery? Eh!?"

Chapter 95: Joint training, reliability, and exposure.

Since Aiyin was excited when she got the camera, and Qing had been filming almost the entire rehearsal to collect behind-the-scenes footage, the camera ran out of battery very quickly. Not paying attention to battery life is a common problem for new photographers, and Aiyin didn't realize she needed to bring extra batteries, so neither Aiyin nor Qing could film for the rest of the time.

Aiyin saw that she had finally learned some photography techniques from Qing, but she couldn't use them because she didn't pay attention to the battery level. This was tantamount to a stoppage for Aiyin, who always couldn't wait to show off after learning a little bit, and her face revealed a look of disappointment.

Aine's unhappy look was naturally seen by everyone. Su Shi, who was somewhat tamed by taking care of Lenna just now, subconsciously showed the attitude of a good mother and comforted Aine: "It's okay, little Aine, this is a common thing. We can shoot it next time."

Deng also stepped forward to encourage her: "Ain, cheer up!"

Aiyin wanted to respond to Su Shi and Deng's concern, but she didn't hear anyone's comfort, so she didn't respond to them immediately, but glanced at Qing inconspicuously.

Qing seemed to understand something and said, "It's okay, Aine. Anyway, the camera has played its role today. I have already shot the material for the band promotional video. It doesn't matter if it runs out of battery."

"Ah, this is not what I want to hear! Why did you think of this, Qingqing?"

Aine complained unhappily, then sighed, put away her unhappy look, and recovered her energy as she said to Deng and Su Shi on the other side, "Next time I will definitely take some photos! Deng, Su Shi-san, thank you."

Su Shi was a little puzzled by Qing's sudden loss of emotional intelligence, but in the end she just attributed it to Qing wanting to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, so she didn't think much about it and just smiled and nodded to Aine.

Aine was actually a little confused about this question. She was sure that Qing said this on purpose because Qing had been looking at her just now and she would definitely notice her glance, not to mention that Su Shi and Deng had demonstrated it before her.

However, Aiyin was not the type to quibble over such matters. She just thought that Qing wanted to get back at him after being tortured by her, so she deliberately didn't speak in accordance with Aiyin's meaning. Aiyin would not take Qing's pampering for her for granted, so she chose to take care of Qing's feelings at this time and passed the matter over.

In fact, Qing originally wanted to speak to comfort Aine, but after she noticed that Aine deliberately stopped responding to Deng and Su Shi, she chose to play dumb.

The reason is that she found that Ain tended to care too much about her. Qing certainly didn't think it was wrong for Ain to care about her, but at least when they were in the band, Qing hoped that Ain could focus more on other people. After all, Qing hoped that Ain could become the backbone of the band.

Imagine if Qing had said something to comfort Aine, would Aine have given priority to Qing? This had inadvertently left Su Shi and Deng out of the spotlight. This was just a small matter, but if things went on like this, the band members might have tied Aine and Qing together, and then deliberately made room for them to get along, thus distancing themselves from them.

This is not an exaggeration. Before crossing over, Qing had seen people in the office who were inadvertently alienated by everyone because they had a particularly good relationship with one person. Qing wanted to avoid this kind of thing from happening.

Li Xi, who had already sat down at the drum set, saw that Aine had finished making a fuss, so he asked everyone to return to their respective seats to prepare for practice. Finally, he looked at Qing and said, "Since we can't take videos, then everyone should hurry up and practice... What are you going to do? Do you want to practice with us or practice on your own with ear monitors?"

Qing answered without much hesitation: "If I join the joint training now, I will only hinder you. I'd better practice on my own first."

Li Xi seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips. Ai Yin came forward to persuade him: "Since we are here, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't practice together in the rehearsal room?"

Alas, Aiyin, you should be more careful. Originally, you would have been treated this way, which is a waste, right?

Feeling Qing's strange gaze, Aine tilted her head, not knowing what Qing meant by looking at her. Qing certainly wouldn't say what he was thinking, so he followed Aine's words and responded: "Then how should the music be divided? Should I play the rhythm guitar part with Aine? Or should I play with Lenna?"

Aiyin waved to Qing and asked her to come to her side. After Qing came over, she pointed at the guitar sheet in front of her and said, "I have an idea. Let's complete the rhythm guitar part together!"

Then Aine began to explain her plan, she divided the rhythm guitar part where she couldn't keep up with the rhythm into two parts, and when she couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Qing would take over, and Aine would prepare the next part in advance. This way, both of them had enough time to switch chords and prepare how to play in advance.

In theory, this method can help people with less technical skills to play songs more easily, but after all, it is not two people playing one guitar together, so it is easy to produce noise at the junction of the two guitars. The main problem is the location of the division of the sound. A complete sentence is divided into two parts, which will definitely be weird.

However, Aiyin didn't know this at her level, and she proudly puffed out her chest and boasted: "This way Qingqing will have something to do, and I can be more relaxed. Isn't this a great idea? It's the best of both worlds!"

Li Xi sighed and said, "I advise you to improve your strength honestly. You won't get far if you take this unorthodox approach."

Qing actually thought so too, but she still found a good angle to mediate between the two and said: "Let's give it a try first. In any case, this seems to be the fastest way for me to participate in joint practice. At least I can get familiar with the song. When our guitar skills improve in the future, there will be no need to use this method, right?"

After Qing said this, no one could refute it anymore, after all, it was just a try. So Qing came to Ain's side. She and Ain still needed to look at the guitar tabs to play, but they each had a big guitar hanging on their bodies, so they definitely couldn't get close to each other like they were sharing a microphone.

The performance started, just as Qing had expected, there was some noise at the junction between the two, but most of the time this noise was not so easy to be noticed in the wrapping of Le Nai's guitar and the lamp. Of course, people who are more sensitive to music can easily hear the problem.

"How is it? How is it? Better than before, right?"

As soon as the performance was over, Aine came to take credit, because this time with more preparation time, Aine had made few mistakes. From this point of view alone, the noise produced by using this method became unimportant.

Even Li Xi had to admit that this joint practice was indeed more effective than the previous ones: "In terms of completeness, it's really not bad... But you need to practice more after you go back. Using this method to cheat will not improve your strength."

"Yes, yes! I know!"

Aiyin agreed to Lixi's request, then looked at Qing and asked, "Qingqing, how was your first practice session? Did you feel like a band?"

Ah, what is the feeling of being in a band? Qing seemed to see the same look in Aine as when other girls in the class talked to her about topics she didn't understand. In fact, because Qing needed to pretend to be a novice and rarely played complete sentences, she played with restraint and didn't play very happily, so she couldn't understand what Aine meant by "the feeling of being in a band".

But Qing still found a perspective to agree with Aiyin and said: "Is this our first joint project? It feels good when you think about it this way."

It's not because of the ensemble or the so-called band feeling that makes me happy, but because I can be with you.

Aiyin blushed and patted Qing's shoulder gently, saying coquettishly: "What are you talking about? Everyone is listening."

Qing glanced at everyone with some confusion, but didn't notice any strange expressions on their faces. She looked at Aine with some confusion. Although what she wanted to express was a bit ambiguous, she felt that her expression was still relatively subtle. She didn't quite understand why Aine made such a big fuss.

After a few more ensembles, it was time for lunch. The band had a full day of activities today, but Li Xi did not arrange any more rehearsals in the afternoon, and the rehearsal room was only rented until noon.

If you keep practicing, it is actually very easy to get injured, especially for beginners. Aiyin and Qing will easily get tendonitis if they keep practicing. Deng can't sing all the time, and his voice also needs rest.

As for the afternoon schedule, it is the band meeting. Contrary to what many people imagine, they think that most of the time in band activities is spent on practice and singing, but in fact, the band meeting often takes up the most time in band activities.

Because usually, musicians will practice their own parts when they are alone, and when they practice together, they just need to work together to find problems. Individual practice does not take up the time of band activities.

When performing, a band only needs to play well and show their coordination, but there are many things to consider in a band meeting.

For example, the first band meeting discussed the band style, goals, when to hold live performances, song selection for practice, itinerary decisions, etc.

The main issues discussed in today's band meeting were about original songs and performance costumes.

"Is practice over?"

Seeing everyone packing up and preparing to leave, Le Nai asked. She seemed to be a little behind everyone, or rather, her pace was not in tune with everyone else.

"It's over."

Su Shi quickly put away the bass and put it behind her back, then turned around and answered Lenai with a smile.

"Then I'm going back."

After saying that, Lenai quickly put away his guitar, picked up the speaker and was about to leave.

Li Xi quickly stopped her: "Hey, don't leave yet. There is a band meeting in the afternoon. If Stray Cat really wants to join, you have to attend too."

“It feels like a hassle.”

Lenai tilted her head. When she was in Space, she mainly watched those bands perform on stage. Band meetings were usually very boring.

"It's troublesome to go!"

"Um……"

Seeing that Li Xi and Lenai were in a stalemate, Qing said to Su Shi: "In this case, just go up and feed him. Quickly use the matcha candy on Lenai."

"Huh? Me? Okay then, I get it."

Su Shi reluctantly agreed, because she really listened to Qing and prepared matcha candy for Lenna. In fact, what she really wanted to say was "Why do I have to feed the cat?", but in order to maintain the mask of being kind to others, she could only obey Qing's wishes.

"Okay, Lenai-chan, open your mouth."

He came to Le Nai, separated Li Xi who was blocking Le Nai from leaving, took out a matcha candy from the wrapping paper, and motioned for Le Nai to open her mouth.

When Lenai saw the green candy and smelled a familiar scent, she opened her mouth and sucked the candy from Sushi's hand without thinking too much. When the candy reached her taste buds, she unexpectedly felt the taste of her favorite matcha from Sushi. The momentary surprise made Lenai's eyes widen, and it felt like she was skating.

At this time, Su Shi smiled and said gently: "We are going to the band meeting later. Will Xiao Lenai go with us?"

Le Nai nodded in agreement. Li Xi was stunned to see that Su Shi had so easily persuaded Le Nai, who had just been stubborn.

Then Su Shi walked to Deng again, took out a green candy and placed it in front of Deng, saying to Deng: "Xiao Deng, this is throat lozenge. You must be tired after singing for so long."

Deng took the candy from Su Shi, put it in his mouth and thanked Su Shi: "Thank you, little Su Shi."

Aine, who had seen the entire scene, exclaimed, “As expected, Suyo-san is very good at taking care of people. She’s as mature and reliable as a parent. As expected of the eldest lady of Tsuki no Mori, isn’t she?”

Su Shi smiled modestly and evaded the question: "That's not the case. I just followed Xiaoqing's instructions. Besides, even in the Moon Forest, there are many children who are very worrying."

"Aine, let's go, I'll hold the camera for you."

Qing didn't want Su Shi to bring the topic to herself, so she urged Ain to leave. Qing noticed that Ain was very tired after playing the guitar all morning, so he offered to help Ain hold the camera.

"Oh, thank you Qingqing."

Aiyin naturally handed the camera to Qing, then she carried her guitar and followed Lixi in front of her out of the rehearsal room.

Su Shi smiled and looked at Deng again, pointed outside the door and said, "Let's go too, Xiao Deng."

Deng nodded and walked with Su Shi. They walked slowly, a few steps away from Ai Qing and the other two in the group ahead. Su Shi asked casually as they walked, "Xiao Deng, how do you feel about participating in the joint training again?"

Deng looked at Su Shi, nodded seriously and said, "Very happy."

"That's it."

Su Shi tilted his head slightly and glanced at the light, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if responding casually.

Although RING is a very comprehensive livehouse, the food sold there is mostly light meals, which is a little insufficient as a place to have lunch. Also, there was no rehearsal room booked in the afternoon, so we had lunch at a restaurant outside.

When talking about places for high school students to meet and eat, Saizeriya comes to mind. Saizeriya’s main selling point is the cost-effectiveness, so it is also called the “poor guy’s set meal.” Although the families of the people present, except Qing, are well-off enough to go to more upscale restaurants, Aiyin, a social expert who used to meet with classmates frequently, subconsciously recommended this restaurant suitable for high school students to everyone.

Saizeriya also has self-service beverage machines, so they can hold band meetings directly inside Saizeriya without having to find another place, so everyone has no objection to coming here for lunch.

According to the order of the seats, Lena sat in the innermost seat first, then Riki sat opposite Lena, then Aine pulled Qing to sit next to Lena, and Aine sat in the middle. Maybe in Aine's eyes, Riki is more dangerous than Lena. Finally, Deng and Sushi sat down, so Deng sat opposite Aine, and Sushi was facing Qing.

As Qing and Su Shi were sitting on the outside, they naturally had the task of pouring drinks for everyone. It happened that they both took the order very quickly, so after taking the order and asking others what drinks they wanted, they went to the automatic beverage machine together.

While waiting for the drink, Qing stared at the gradually filling glass, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Thank you for taking care of Lenai."

Facing Qing's sudden greeting, Su Shi did not humble herself as she did to other people in the past. She knew that this would not change Qing's impression of her, so she smiled and responded: "Little Lenai is very cute. Xiao Qing can actually try to take care of Lenai."

Although she was still smiling, and even her words were full of friendliness, she was actually expressing her dissatisfaction with being assigned to take care of Lenai.

Qing put the filled drinks on the tray, then looked at Su Shi, his calm eyes staring straight at Su Shi's gradually solidifying smile.

"Su Shi, the matter with Lenai is just the beginning. I will make some interesting videos later, not just the one I shot today. It will be very tiring if you keep this forced smile on your face."

The calm words made Su Shi's brain freeze for a moment, and she only came to her senses when the drink overflowed and splashed onto her hands.

After turning off the automatic beverage machine, Su Shi also put the drinks on the tray, then turned to face Qing, and the smile on his face returned to its usual natural state. He said, "What are you talking about, Xiao Qing. Isn't it good to smile happily?"

Qing gave Su Shi a meaningful look, turned around and prepared to leave, saying: "That was really just advice, but since you want to continue acting... I look forward to how long you can hold on."

After saying that, Qing left first, without giving Su Shi a chance to catch up and talk. Of course, Su Shi would not catch up with her either, as she wished to just pretend that nothing had happened.

"Has it been seen through?"

Su Shi held the tray a little harder, causing the drinks on the tray to shake a few times.

Ever since Su Shi decided to put on a fake smile, almost no one could see through her fake smile, or even expose her. Yue Zhisen's classmates were all simple-minded children, and as long as she continued to show her friendly side, they would not doubt Su Shi.

The last time someone saw through my feelings and told them was when I met Shiina Maki during the brass band competition.

Why did Qing reveal this to her when they were alone? Was it really because he didn't want her to keep smiling? Or was it a provocation?

Su Shi didn't know, but Qing was undoubtedly a very troublesome person. Under her manipulation, it was difficult for Su Shi to split the band from within, and if Su Shi acted rashly, Qing would probably find out. So even though Su Shi was unwilling, he could only temporarily give up the plan to sow discord among the band members.

And now what Su Shi wants is what Qing wants. After all, there is the concept of lost child, God's AFK Su Shi, it would be great if Su Shi could really AFK.

Also, Qing really felt that it would be tiring if Su Shi kept up a fake smile, because what she just said was not alarmist. She planned to make Su Shi a comedian in her band channel on YouTube.

He returned to his seat and sat down. Su Shi followed soon after. After everyone was together, they began to discuss the band meeting.

Li Xi took the lead in the beginning of this meeting. As the band's affairs involved more and more music, her voice in the band became more and more important. She motioned for Deng to take out the lyrics: "First, let's talk about the original song... Deng, take out the lyrics."

Since Su Shi took Le Na out to eat when Deng took out the lyrics, the two of them did not see the "Mu Lu Shi" written by Deng, so Li Xi showed it to them first.

"It's the lyrics that sound like this. It feels very much like Xiao Deng's style."

Although Su Shi could not understand the lyrics written by Deng, it did not affect her praising Deng.

After reading the lyrics, Le Nai didn't say anything. When Li Xi asked her what she thought, she just said "I can't put into words the feeling", but it seemed that she had no opinion on Deng's lyrics.

When Deng saw that everyone in the band approved of her lyrics, she finally felt relieved and took a sip of juice with peace of mind.

"What do you think about the arrangement?"

As for Lixi, she personally feels that a certain sense of pace in the music is more suitable for Deng's style, but she is a flexible Deng fan, and she is not incapable of adapting if other people's suggestions are more suitable for Deng.

Everyone fell silent at once. Among the six people present, Aine and Deng knew nothing about music theory, Qing had apparently just learned music theory, Su Shi was deliberately making trouble, Lenae was difficult to communicate with, and if Riki was willing, she could have the final say in arranging the music.

Lixi frowned. If she didn't think this band was more to her liking, she wouldn't have bothered to discuss the arrangement with others. But now that she took the initiative to seek opinions, she didn't get any feedback, which made her a little disappointed.
