I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Did she treat cats as friends? And she chased away the cat she treated as a friend because of me... Her strange behavior and incomprehensible words must have made it difficult for her to get along with people normally, right?

Did I do something too much without intending to? Su Shi felt a little sorry for Le Nai, but also a little guilty.

While thinking, when Su Shi looked up at Lenai's position again, she found that Lenai was no longer there. Su Shi hurriedly looked around for Lenai. Her task was to keep a close eye on Lenai and not let her run around.

Although Su Shi thought that it didn't matter if she didn't complete the task given by Qing, she felt that it would be very troublesome, and it was not good for Lenai to run around all the time... She was not worried about Lenai so she was in a hurry to find her, nor did she feel that she had to complete the task well just because Qing asked her to do so!

"Little Lenai? Where have you been?"

Su Shi tried to call out Lenai's name to get a response, but unfortunately there was no response. Shouting in the park was not in line with Su Shi's style, but even so, her extraordinary behavior did not have any effect.

The midday sun shines directly on every place without shadows, which makes the homely young lady who lacks exercise sweat on her head. The aroma of the girl becomes stronger with the sweat. In this park with countless fragrances, she is also the most beautiful and charming flower, but now this flower is swaying in the wind.

"Gui'an, have you seen a girl with white hair, heterochromatic eyes, wearing a black T-shirt and looking like a cat?"

Su Shi came to an old lady who was enjoying the cool in the pavilion and asked her very politely if she had seen Lenai.

Fortunately, the old lady had a deep impression of Lenai, after all, Lenai's appearance was very distinctive. The old lady kindly explained to Su Shi where Lenai was. After thanking the old lady, Su Shi followed the direction she pointed to find him.

They came to a place in the park where there were many flower beds with all kinds of colorful flowers. Su Shi finally saw Lenai here. While she breathed a sigh of relief, her blood pressure suddenly soared after she noticed what Lenai was doing.

Because at this time, Lenai was chasing butterflies! Butterflies! It can be imagined that Lenai got lost because of chasing butterflies. When Su Shi thought about how much time he spent anxiously looking for Lenai everywhere, and Lenai was chasing butterflies, he felt an unknown anger in his heart that he wanted to vent.

"Little Lenai! Why did you run away without saying a word?"

Su Shi walked towards Le Na angrily, spitting out harsh words.

Lenai also raised his head and saw that Su Shi was angry, but his expression did not change at all. He still had that bored expression as if nothing was wrong. This made Su Shi's blood pressure rise even higher.

"Little Lenai, you..."

When Su Shi was about to teach this naughty cat that was running around a lesson, Lenai clasped his hands and trotted to Su Shi, then stared at Su Shi with a pair of innocent big heterochromatic eyes, making Su Shi choke on the words that were about to blame Lenai.

"Su Shi, this is for you."

Le Nai placed her half-closed hand in front of Su Shi, motioning Su Shi to reach out and take it.

Su Shi subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then Le Nai put the thing in Su Shi's hand and took it back. Su Shi looked down at the thing in his hand, and it turned out to be a blue-striped butterfly.

After the butterfly regained the space to flap its wings, it slowly spread its wings and gradually began to fly in the air leaving Su Shi's palm. Su Shi looked at the dancing butterfly, from lowering his head to looking straight, and finally looking up at the blue phantom flying away into the sky. The anger and depression in his heart also flew away with the butterfly.

"Ah, it flew away... What a shame."

Lenai also looked at the butterfly flying away and said with some regret.

Su Shi lowered his head and looked at the innocent Lenai, showing a helpless smile and educating Lenai: "Little Lenai, it is not good to catch butterflies. It is better to let it go."

Still looking at the sky where no butterflies could be seen, Lenai replied, "I know."

……

On the other side, after Lenai and Suyo left, Aine picked up her phone with some boredom, but in the end she didn't use her phone to read anything. She just held her phone and stared at Qing eating.

Qing also noticed that Aine was trying to find some topic to tease her at that moment, so she kept a poker face and didn't even look at Aine, not giving Aine any chance to find a topic to talk about with her.

However, when it comes to having fun, Aine has always been very creative, and she quickly found a topic that Qing would definitely answer.

"Qingqing, you said that I practiced too much so my hands needed massage. Is that the same for you, Qingqing? If you were Qingqing, you wouldn't slack off in your practice, right?"

Aine pointed at Qing's left hand and said, because they were too close, Aine's fingers poked the back of Qing's hand.

Qing glanced expressionlessly at Li Xi who was sitting in the opposite corner. This guy had been pretending to be in a daze because he was sitting next to the lamp, but she must be paying attention to the movements here all the time. If she said she didn't need it at this time, Li Xi might think it meant that she was not practicing hard enough, and then she would start to put pressure on herself.

Although it was true that Qing didn't practice guitar very hard, he felt that it would be troublesome to say it out loud, so Qing didn't directly answer Aine's question and said, "If I need it, I can give myself a massage."

However, Aine still insisted: “Eh? But this will still be inconvenient, right?”

"That's enough."

Qing responded unmoved.

"I say, do you want me to give Qingqing a massage? Anyway, if it's just your left hand, it won't affect your eating."

Aiyin said with a veiled expression.

Qing glanced at Aiyin and said, "Let's not talk about whether you know how to massage or not. With your current hand strength, isn't it a bit too far-fetched to talk about massage?"

"Hey, let me try!"

Aiyin grabbed Qing's hand and acted coquettishly. It seemed that even if Qing disagreed, she would forcibly grab Qing's hand and massage it.

Seeing this, Qing could only nod obediently and then put his left hand into Aine's.

Aiyin grabbed Qing's hand and gave him a sly smile. Then she inserted the fingers of her right hand into the gaps between the fingers of Qing's left hand, and put their palms together, completing a gesture of interlocking their fingers.

Qing's heart skipped a beat when he felt the familiar warmth coming from his left hand. Even his right hand, which was holding the spoon and bringing it to his mouth, paused in the air, and the rice grains in it almost shook out.

Aiyin smiled and praised Qing: "How is it? My massage is very effective, right?"

Hearing that, Qing subconsciously tightened his grip on Aine’s hand and returned the spoon to the plate. He took this opportunity to calm his heart that had been pounding from the sudden attack, turned to look at Aine, and nodded mechanically.

"The effect is outstanding."

Chapter 99: Change position, style, core.

“Is there anything else we need to discuss about original songs?”

As Suyo and Lenai came back from outside, it also signaled the continuation of the band meeting. Wanting to quickly move the meeting forward to the design of performance costumes, Aine clapped her hands and took the lead in bringing up the topic.

Compared to the band meeting, Qing is now more curious about Su Shi and Lenai. He didn't expect Lenai to come back so on time. Especially, there was no strange expression on the faces of Su Shi and Lenai. Could it be that these two people are unexpectedly compatible?

But before Qing could have any more time to think about it, she was called out.

"About the arrangement... Qing, I have something I want to ask you."

Li Xi looked at Qing and said.

No one could guess what kind of questions Lixi would ask, or rather, it was already surprising that Lixi would ask Qing alone. Everyone either looked at Lixi or Qing.

Qing also looked at Li Xi with some curiosity and nodded to her, indicating that she should ask the question.

Li Xi said: "It's about your harmonica. When I was arranging "If You Can Shine" yesterday, I found that it would be better if the three guitars were replaced with harmonicas. I want to include the harmonica in the score. What do you think?"

Lixi's idea seems to be fine, but that is only from the perspective of arrangement. From the perspective of the band, there will be problems.

Because Li Xi meant that Qing should give up the guitar and play the harmonica, at least on "If You Can Shine". But the question Li Xi asked did not mention that it was only about the song "If You Can Shine", which means that Li Xi actually hopes that Qing's position in the band will change, from a guitarist to a wind instrument player.

If you don't want Qing to play the guitar, why would Qing go out of her way to buy a guitar? So Qing definitely couldn't just agree to Li Xi's request.

This is just like when playing RPG and recruiting double-class professions in a fixed team, before recruiting them, they say your team positioning is output, but when you really start driving, they say "You know the situation of our team, you play support first, and then the brothers will take you to output when they are equipped."

So Qing thought for a moment and responded: "It's not impossible, but the harmonica has to be placed in the part where my guitar is not."

In fact, Qing's reminder is basically nonsense. As the main arranger of the band, Li Xi will definitely take into account the actual situation of the band members. For example, in the original story, Li Xi revised the music score many times because of Aine's guitar level and Lenai's frequent absence from the band.

Qing said this mainly to express an attitude: I can accept playing the harmonica, but I am still the guitarist of the band.

In fact, Qing is not too obsessed with playing the guitar, but she chose to play the guitar in the first place to help Aiyin cope with the pressure. Now that she has bought the guitar, of course she will stick with it to the end. At least she will not consider officially switching to playing other instruments until Aiyin's guitar skills improve.

Yes, Qing planned to play other instruments, after all, three guitars were not very effective. As for whether he would play the harmonica as Li Xi just mentioned, or play the keyboard with the professional piano that he had secretly hidden, we would have to wait and see.

Li Xi naturally understood the reluctance in Qing's words, but she didn't feel disappointed that Qing didn't want to change her position. She always thought that hard work was a must, but she didn't think it was right to sacrifice one's will for the team. This was also the reason why Li Xi hesitated when she wanted to say this before.

Aiyin, who was standing by, heard different meanings from their conversation. She first looked at Qing meaningfully, then asked Lixi: "Rikki, you just said that when you were composing yesterday, you found that it would be better to change a guitar to a harmonica. Does that mean you already knew that Qingqing could play the harmonica before yesterday?"

After hearing the question asked by Aine, the first person to react was not Riki who was asked, but Qing who was mentioned in passing. He was frightened and looked at Aine's profile in horror.

Su Shi, who was sitting opposite Qing, saw Qing's expression and couldn't help but hide her joy behind a fake smile, making the smile on her face look more genuine.

Li Xi didn't hear the indirection in Aine's words, and answered very straightforwardly: "We talked about this briefly at RING the morning before yesterday."

After Qing heard that Lixi didn't say anything extra, the stone in his heart finally settled down a little. He had contact and conversation with Lixi that day, Aiyin knew about it, and she had already tortured him, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Aiyin glanced in Qing's direction quietly, and noticed Qing's relieved look. She calmly withdrew her gaze, then looked at Li Xi again and asked: "Um, what did Rikki talk about with Qing that day? Can you tell us? I'm very curious."

Li Xi frowned and said, "Why should I tell you all these things? It's useless for you to know these things, right?"

Aiyin pretended to be dumb and said, "Eh? But there shouldn't be anything that can't be said, right? I think everyone is also very curious about what you said, right?"

Watching the two people gradually confronting each other, Su Shi also put away the intention of watching the fun and said: "Okay, although I am a little curious, now is not the time to discuss such things, right? If Xiao Aiyin wants to know, she should ask Xiaoqing later. I think Xiaoqing should be happy to tell you, right Xiaoqing?"

After saying that, Su Shi glanced at Qing with a half-smile, causing Qing's eyes, which had originally been filled with some gratitude towards Su Shi, to instantly dim.

After hearing what Su Shi said, Ai Yin also gave up the idea of wasting everyone's time on this matter. She just glanced at Qing indifferently and brought the topic back to the topic of arranging music.

"In that case, how is Rikki going to arrange the music? If we explain the situation in advance, Qingqing can focus on her practice. Otherwise, it would be terrible if all her hard work is useless."

After hearing that Aine returned to the official topic, the first question she asked was still about herself, Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that even in terms of feelings, Aine is not a petty person. At the same time, Qing also felt a little proud that Aine favored him so much.

Li Xi held his chin with his hand, thinking, and said slowly: "For "If You Can Shine", I plan to let the harmonica play the keyboard part, and forget about her guitar part... There are already a lot of things to play in this part, and adding a guitar will be troublesome."

In the world before Qing traveled through time, "If You Can Shine" was a song with a very complicated arrangement. When the original band of this song, Goose House, performed it, there were different versions depending on the members, and they were all different from the OP version of April Lie. As for the Ppp version of "If You Can Shine", it goes without saying that the feeling it gives people is completely different.

There is no difference between Goose House and April Lie in this world. Ppp is the original band of "If You Can Shine". There are not many different versions. The performance configuration is two guitars, a bass, a keyboard and a tambourine. The drum part of the drum set is recorded using a drum set, and the tambourine is played by the drummer.

Compared with the OP version of April Lies in Qing's impression, the lead guitar is responsible for the acoustic guitar part, the rhythm guitar is responsible for the celesta part, the keyboard is responsible for the harmonica part, and the drum set is completed by the recording of the drum set and the tambourine. Of course, Ppp still has his own adaptation, not just a simple replacement.

But no matter which version it is, being responsible for the keyboard and harmonica parts is not easy, because the two most prominent sounds of this song are the acoustic guitar and harmonica, which means that if Qing wants to use the harmonica to be responsible for this part, it will not be easy either.

Qing acted unsure and said, "I would feel a lot of pressure if I did that. If I made a mistake in my performance, it would be too obvious."

Li Xi responded decisively: "Then practice until you don't make any mistakes. If you practice the harmonica, you won't have to worry about injuring your fingers and wrists, right?"

Li Xi's words reminded him of the reason Qing gave when he wanted to spend time learning music theory instead of using the time to practice guitar. He didn't expect that after changing to another instrument, the boomerang would hit him on the head.

Aiyin frowned at this time and argued for Qing: "But Qingqing still has to practice guitar, right? Not only that, she also has to study and work part-time. If she works so hard, it seems that she will be under too much pressure."

Reverse Tian Gang! I didn't expect that Qing, who wanted to take the pressure off for Aine, was actually asked by Aine to reduce the burden. This is our exciting combination skill!

This time is different from before. Qing's harmonica does not have any system bonus. If he wants to improve, he has to practice hard on his own. It is not without pressure, and naturally he will not be as comfortable as before.

And just like Aine said, Qing didn't have much time to practice playing the harmonica, because she also had to work and compose music, and now she had to make videos for the band. She really didn't have the confidence to perform with harmonica music.

So Qing nodded in agreement with Aine and said, "That's true. I will try my best to improve my harmonica playing skills, but even so, I may not be able to improve my harmonica skills to a level that is good enough for the performance in a month."

Li Xi was really speechless about Qing, the substitute. How come you can't do this or that? But Qing was a substitute. If Qing could fulfill all her expectations, she wouldn't be just a substitute. So Li Xi couldn't blame Qing, and Qing had played well enough in advance, so everyone was mentally prepared for Qing's failure.

So for a while, Li Xi didn't say anything embarrassing to Qing, but when Qing saw that Li Xi actually wanted to put pressure on him, of course he had to fight back.

"Rather than that, Li Xi, do you just want to change the keyboard to a harmonica and complete the arrangement of "If You Can Shine"? In that case, who will play the tambourine?"

In Anon Tokyo, because there are six people, if we want to adapt it like Ppp's version of "If You Can Shine", we can not use the recording for the drum part, let Li Xi play the drums, and let Deng play the tambourine while singing; or we can play the recording like Ppp and let the drummer play the tambourine, so that Li Xi, who has been sitting behind everyone, can also go around and perform.

Li Xi looked hesitant, and then said: "We may not necessarily use tambourines in our arrangement. I think tambourines don't fit in with our band's singing style."

After adapting "Haruhi Shadow", Li Xi realized that blind imitation could not surpass the original song. Sometimes finding one's own style to re-arrange the song would have a good effect.

Qing was not surprised when he learned about Li Xi's idea. After all, the style of the Ppp version of "If You Can Shine" was very different from the animation OP version. One version seemed to be telling a longing story, and the other version seemed to be depicting the girl's passion and longing for her dream.

This is especially evident on the electric guitar and tambourine, especially the tambourine, which Qing thinks is a stroke of genius. Every time the tambourine is struck, it's as if countless stars are falling around Sha Ling, giving people a glittering and heart-pounding feeling.

But this band composed of Lost and Qing is not suitable for this kind of glittering and heart-beating style. They are not so shining, nor do they convey dreams. If we really want to say what their style is, it may be gravity, the expression of emotions. The emotions here can be any positive or negative emotions.

If it was the perfect Lost Sons band, there would still be the two themes of confusion and progress, but now this band is so different from the original plot that it is hard to say what kind of band style it will eventually form. So Qing is still looking forward to Li Xi's arrangement.

Apparently, Qing wasn't the only one curious about the band's style. Aine also asked, "In that case, what should our band's singing style be? I haven't seen Crychic's live performances. Qingqing and I are both new... What about Xiao Renai? What's your performance style?"

Le Na, who had been idle for a long time, heard Aine's call and suddenly woke up from her sleepy head. She yawned and said, "I don't know. I just play according to my mood."

"Is that so... freedom and doing whatever you want?"

Aine began to think about what a concert of this style would be like.

At this time, Li Xi said: "It's mainly because of Deng's singing style. Our music should also be based on Deng's singing."

Deng didn't expect that he would be responsible for such a big task. He pointed at himself and asked, "... Me? With me as the main one?"

Seeing that Deng seemed unsure, Aine encouraged him, "It's okay, Deng Deng, your singing is very moving!"

Su Shi also encouraged with a smile: "The original song is also discussed around Xiao Deng's lyrics. Isn't that what happened just now? Xiao Deng can be more confident!"

Qing's words were even more pointed: "Without Deng, Su Shi, Li Xi and Lenai would not join our band, so there is actually no problem with Deng being the main focus."

But after Qing said this, Su Shi and Li Xi both lowered their heads and turned away involuntarily, while Le Na was playing with the spoon and fork on the plate contentedly.

"Really? Qingqing, don't say such things at this time!"

Aine tugged at Ao's sleeve and complained.
