I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

"Stray cat, what are you doing?"

Li Xi questioned.

"gone back."

Lenai gave a concise answer.

These few simple words aroused Li Xi's anger the most. She gritted her teeth and continued to ask: "What about the practice?"

Lenai did not answer Lixi's question. She put away her guitar, picked up her speakers, turned around to look at the other people in the rehearsal room, and said in a cold tone: "Very boring music."

Le Nai's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's head, making everyone's heart tremble, including Deng who didn't participate in the ensemble at all. In Deng's opinion, it was because she couldn't make a sound just now that Le Nai thought their music was boring.

But it wasn't over yet. Le Na glanced at Aine, Su Shi and Li Xi, and continued to add coldly: "Boring woman."

After saying that, Le Na was about to leave. The people whose eyes were swept by Le Na's eyes became extremely complicated. Although Ai Yin didn't understand the meaning of Le Na's words, she began to blame herself for not doing anything for Qing. It seemed that silence and going with the flow also became hateful.

Su Shi was simply hurt by Lenai's description of her as "boring". She didn't understand what she had done wrong. Was all the energy and attention she had spent taking care of Lenai before not worth mentioning?

For Lixi, the music she played was considered boring and the band was also considered boring, which was tantamount to devaluing her abilities and efforts.

Su Shi quickly called out to Lenai and asked, "Wait a minute, Lenai! Don't you want to eat the matcha cake? If you don't practice, don't you want it?"

Le Nai half turned and looked at Su Shi, with a hint of doubt in his clear eyes, and said as if he was stating an ironclad fact: "I have practiced it."

Everyone had nothing to fault with Le Nai's words. Even though they had only practiced the entire song once and there was no vocals yet, you could still say that they had practiced it.

Su Shi habitually made a gentle expression, and her voice was even sharper than usual, and she said gently: "In that case, I will take Lenai to eat matcha cake."

After saying that, Su Shi put down the bass hanging on his body, walked quickly behind Lenai, and then left the rehearsal room with Lenai.

The departure of the two was not the end. Aiyin also made up her mind and picked up her phone to run outside the rehearsal room. Li Xi stopped her and asked: "Where do you want to go now?"

Aiyin explained seriously: "I have to confirm Qingqing's situation. I plan to call the class teacher and ask her to contact Qingqing's parents, otherwise I won't be able to practice with peace of mind. Anyway, I can't practice now, right?"

Li Xi couldn't refute Ain's words. After losing the lead guitar and bass, the band really couldn't continue to practice together. Moreover, the reason Ain gave for leaving was impeccable, and it could be considered as an adjustment.

"Xiao Ai... I also want to know about Xiao Qing's situation. I'll go with you!"

Deng, who was unable to sing during practice just now, called out to Aine and trotted out of the rehearsal room with Aine.

Looking at the empty rehearsal room, Li Xi clenched the drumsticks in her hand, lowered her head, and sat weakly in her seat, feeling the gradually deserted rehearsal room. The self-doubt reminded her of the fragile self under the shadow of her sister and Xiangzi. It turned out that she had not changed at all.

Qing is not here today, and Aine has no intention of managing the band. Li Xi has become the absolute leader of the band, but this happened. Everyone left, everyone was dissatisfied with her leadership, and even Lenae thought she was boring.

Is there really something wrong with my play?

……

Liu Zeqing and his brother were invited to the living room downstairs to drink soup. Every time his parents came to Liu Zeqing's house, they would take control of the kitchen, start making soup, and then invite him downstairs to drink soup before dinner.

The two brothers walked downstairs, and the rich smell of the soup immediately attracted Liu Zeqing's nose. He looked at the dining table, where several bowls of prepared soup were placed in several fixed positions. He and his brother habitually walked to their respective seats and sat down.

Dad was already sitting at the dining table, wearing a pair of reading glasses and looking at an advertising leaflet of unknown purpose. Although the TV, which Liu Zeqing never turned on when he was alone at home, was now playing the anti-Japanese war drama selected by his dad, he had no intention of watching TV at all.

In the open space between the dining table and the TV, there was a soft cushion for children, on which various toys were placed. My sister-in-law was sitting on the cushion and playing with my niece. When my niece saw her father and uncle coming down, her eyes lit up, she put down her toys and trotted towards them, but was stopped by my sister-in-law, who taught her that she had to wear shoes before going out.

The sound of the range hood running came from the kitchen. My mother was preparing dinner for everyone. When she saw Liu Zeqing coming down, she kept nagging and criticizing him for being too rough in cleaning the kitchen and how unhygienic it was.

Liu Zeqing looked at the bowl of soup in front of him, which had more ingredients than soup, and felt the warmth from family. He picked up the soup, leaned over to take a sip, and the warm soup made him feel activated. He put down the bowl, and the rising mist floated into Liu Zeqing's eyes, making his eyes a little hot.

Liu Zeqing shed tears. He wanted to stop the tears from flowing, but he couldn't. The grievances in his heart poured out like a flood. He didn't know where the grievances in his heart came from. He seemed to feel a lot of pressure these days. Now in his family, his eternal safe haven, he can finally stop enduring.

"Qing-san!"

My vision gradually blurred, and I heard a shouting voice from far away. Was it a child calling her friend?

"Qing, wake up!"

However, the voice became clearer and more familiar, and Liu Zeqing realized that the owner of the voice seemed to be calling him.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and Qing raised his head suddenly. What he saw in front of him was not the familiar ceiling, but a computer screen that was on standby. The wind from a rainy day in late spring and early summer blew by, and Qing, who was still savoring the warmth of his family, shivered.

It turned out that the warmth that was once so real had now become nothing. The eternal haven that allowed her to cry only existed in her dreams. Her parents, brother, and niece had all become illusions in her memories.

It turns out that the ordinary middle-aged uncle named Yanagisawa Ao is dead, and the one who is still alive is the body of a young girl called "Ao-san".

wake up.

Chapter 106 Contact, all, rush.

Time goes back a little. After Aine and Deng left the rehearsal room, Aine called her homeroom teacher, Mr. Ishihara, and after the homeroom teacher answered the phone, Aine explained the situation to her.

At first, Mr. Ishihara didn't take Aine's explanation seriously. After all, it was very common for little girls to be absent or disappear when they went out to play, and it didn't mean anything.

This is also the reason why Aiyin cannot tell others about her uneasiness. She worries whether something has happened to Qing because she knows Qing very well and knows that Qing would never deliberately not come to the band practice. Also, Aiyin has some speculations about Qing's family situation and is not sure whether Qing's family can take good care of Qing, so she is so worried about Qing.

There were too many subjective assumptions during this period, and Aiyin had no way to convince others. After all, in the eyes of others, Qing was already a grown-up, so how could he say that something bad would happen? But Aiyin knew that Qing had offended gangsters before, and combined with the subjective assumptions above, it was really hard for Aiyin not to worry.

Fortunately, Ishihara knew about the fight between Qing and the gangsters, and after Aine said this, Ishihara became serious. Then Aine vowed that Qing would never stand up the band, and said that if the homeroom teacher still felt it was a waste of time, she should give Qing's parents' contact information to her and let her communicate on her own.

But Aiyin didn't know that when Aiyin moved out of Qing's parents, Teacher Ishihara had to completely give up her fluke mentality and promised Aiyin to try to contact Qing. Because she knew that Qing was different from other children, and Qing, who was alone, had a much lower ability to resist risks than others.

After hanging up the phone, Ishihara tried to call Qing first, and after confirming that no one answered, she began to think about what to do. Because of Qing's special situation, she couldn't contact her parents, and if she called the police, the missing time would not be enough, so she had to go find Qing herself.

Unfortunately, Ishihara is not in Tokyo now. She went back to her hometown during the holidays. It is impossible for her to return to Tokyo now. Even if she returns, it will be too late if something happens. So Ishihara decided to ask others to go and see Qing.

Aine is a good choice, she cares about Qing very much, and Ishihara has a good impression of Aine. However, even though Aine and Qing have such a good relationship, Aine seems to be unaware of Qing's actual situation, which means that Qing does not want Aine to know her situation.

After Mr. Ishihara told Aine about Qing's address, Aine went to Qing's home and learned about Qing's specific situation. She wondered if she could still be friends with Qing as before. Qing had finally improved from a problem child, joined a club and made friends. If he was abandoned at this time, it would be a good result that all his efforts were wasted.

If there was no better choice, Ishihara would still tell Aiyinqing her address, but she had a better choice. She searched through the address book and finally found a person's phone number: Toyokawa Shoko.

As for how Mr. Ishihara got in touch with Shoko, it all started when he dealt with a fight involving Qing at the police station a few days ago.

After the matter was dealt with, Qing was stopped and questioned by Xiangzi before he was about to leave. Teacher Ishihara took this opportunity to call the head teacher of Class B and talked about Xiangzi. After communication between the two parties, they agreed to a plan to let the two problem children help each other and grow together.

After Qing left, Teacher Ishihara found Xiangzi and explained the plan to her. At first Xiangzi did not agree, but compared to other people, Xiangzi was not so resistant to contact with Qing, so she put it aside and waited to return to school to let her homeroom teacher do some psychological work on her.

Originally, this plan was to be carried out at school after the holiday, but now it seems to be useful. Xiangzi knows Qing's specific situation, so there is no need to worry about any problems if Qing's family is exposed; and Qing and Xiangzi have known each other for a long time, and their relationship may not be very good, but it can be seen that it is not bad; in the end, Qing saved Xiangzi at that time, so even if Xiangzi was in the mood of repaying a favor, he should agree to help take care of Qing.

After Xiangzi received a call from Mr. Ishihara and learned about the situation, she agreed to visit Qing's home without hesitation. Xiangzi's feelings for Qing are complicated, but this complicated feeling will not affect her helping Qing.

Teacher Ishihara had confirmed Qing's address at the police station. Now that she had told Xiangzi, she could roughly guess that Qing lived in a rented house in a residential building, so she told Xiangzi to go find the landlord if knocking on the door didn't work.

After Xiangzi agreed to Mr. Ishihara's request, she set off for Qing's house. Her working hours this week had reached the limit, so she had no work arrangements today. She had been thinking about when to go to the convenience store to see if there was a chance to participate in the Half-Price Bento War, but now she has a new schedule.

When Xiangzi arrived at Qing's house, he knocked on the door but got no response. Instead, he attracted the attention of the landlady. Seeing that the landlady came uninvited, Xiangzi took the opportunity to explain his purpose.

Seeing that Xiangzi was polite, well-mannered, elegant, and cute, the landlady was not overly wary and agreed to help open the door and take a look inside.

Then after opening the door, Xiangzi found Qing lying on the desk with a computer, as if he was asleep.

……

Qing woke up from her trance. The daily life in the dream had become out of reach. She felt lost and the sense of gap made her feel extremely lonely.

"Qing, are you okay?"

A familiar voice sounded in Qing's ears, bringing Qing back to his senses and looking to the side.

Damn, Bai Xiang!

Now Xiangzi was half-bending over, looking his head at Qing who was lying on the table, with a worried look on his face, which reminded Qing of the first-person perspective of Deng Baixiang in the animation.

"Xiang? ...And the landlady?"

Qing greeted them in a daze and confusion. She hadn't figured out the situation yet as to why the two of them appeared in her home.

Xiangzi was relieved to see that Qing seemed to be fine, but he still asked seriously: "Qing, why are you sleeping on the table?"

Qing turned his head and looked around him, and found that he was indeed sleeping on the table as Xiangzi said. Qing tried to recall what happened before he fell asleep, but he just felt dizzy and a little painful in his head.

Not only that, but when Qing tried to get up from the table, his body felt tingling and as if it was about to fall apart. Qing sniffed and found that his nose felt a little blocked.

In an instant, Qing realized that he must have a cold and might even have a slight fever.

Qing wanted to speak, but his dry throat made him speechless and he could only cough. As a last resort, Qing had to stand up shakily and prepare to drink some water first.

Seeing that Qing was about to fall down at any time, Xiangzi hurried forward to support Qing's body. Qing waved her hand to Xiangzi, saying that she just woke up and her body was not used to the movement. In fact, the illness did not affect her that much, and it was not difficult for her to walk.

But before he had walked far, Qing suddenly remembered something and hurried back to sit in front of the computer. After switching off the computer from standby mode, he saw the interface of the arrangement project. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pressed the Save button, then closed the arrangement software and shut down the computer in one go.

Qing finally remembered why she fell asleep in front of the computer. Because of insomnia last night, she got up and started to complete the arrangement work. As a result, after getting into the state, she felt a burst of inspiration and was immersed in the arrangement all of a sudden. In order to not lose the inspiration, Qing kept holding up her body. Finally, after completing the arrangement of "Sakura", she fell down on the spot.

As the result of Qing's work for the whole night, although Qing would save the project files from time to time, he was still worried that he would not save them in the end. Not saving a project is definitely one of the most frustrating things. Qing had a deep understanding of this before he traveled through time. That's why Qing was in a hurry to save it first.

After a series of smooth moves, Qing stood up again and continued to drink water as if nothing had happened. After drinking more than half a glass of water, Qing felt alive again. He turned to look at Xiangzi, but did not answer the question Xiangzi had just asked. Instead, he asked: "Why are you in my house?"

Although Qing was very confused about the two people appearing in his home, he did not feel scared. The landlady was a nice person, and Xiangzi was not the weird character in some secondary creations, but a very normal and kind girl.

Xiangzi didn't get angry because Qing ignored his question. He just replied: "You and Aiyin had an appointment to go out, but you didn't show up at the appointed time, and I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so Aiyin asked your homeroom teacher to come and see you, and your homeroom teacher asked me to come and see you. As for the landlady, I asked her to open the door and accompany me to see you."

After hearing Xiangzi's explanation, Qing's face suddenly changed and he asked in a somewhat urgent tone: "What time is it now? Hey, where's my cell phone? Ahem..."

Xiangzi helped pick up Qing's phone from the ground, handed it to Qing, and said: "I found it near your desk. It must have fallen to the ground when you fell asleep."

Qing took the phone and pressed the lock screen button. In addition to the time, the lock screen also showed a series of message prompts. Qing saw that the people who sent the messages were Aiyin and the band group, so he quickly clicked to read the messages.

[Ain: Qingqing, will you come to the practice today? ]

[Ain: I'm late today too. It's really troublesome on rainy days. Is Qingqing busy on her way now? ]

[Ain: Rikki's face is very stinky, Qingqing, you have to come here quickly, otherwise she will definitely get angry at you. ]

【Aine: But Rikki didn't get mad at me, Lucky! 】

[Ain: Lena-chan hasn't arrived yet, Qingqing, if you just speed up, you won't be the last one to arrive.]

【Ain: Missed the voice call. 】

[Ain: Qingqing, please reply when you see the message. We are all very worried about you.]

【Ain: Missed the voice call. 】

[Ain: Qingqing, are you okay? Don't scare me. ]

【Ain: Missed the voice call. 】

[Aine: I went to ask the class teacher to contact your family. I'm sorry for taking the initiative.]

When Qing saw this string of messages from Aiyin, his already cold body suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

It wasn’t that she was shocked by the oppressive feeling of the density of messages sent by another band member, who was like a heavy girl, but because of Aine’s identity.

Just imagine that your girlfriend sent you so many messages and called you three times but you didn’t reply. Just thinking about it makes me sweat.

What's more, this girlfriend had a quarrel with you yesterday and thought that your love for her was not that deep. Although Qing has been single for many years and Ain is not really Qing's girlfriend, Qing has already thought of the posture of kneeling on the keyboard.

Even though Aiyin tried her best to create a casual chat atmosphere from the beginning, Qing could feel the anxiety and worry in Aiyin's heart from the text.

Then the question is, what is Aiyin worried about? Qing immediately thought of the unhappy ending yesterday.

With Aine's ability to empathize, she would most likely put herself in Ao's shoes and come to the conclusion that she herself is disgusting and Ao would not want to see her for the time being.

But the problem is that Aiyin doesn't know why Qing doesn't dare to have too much desire for her, so she can't really put herself in Qing's perspective, and the conclusion she gets is also a wrong conclusion. So Qing must quickly reply to the message to dispel Aiyin's wrong idea.

As for whether Aiyin might be simply worried about whether she had an accident, Qing had never considered this possibility. After all, she felt that her image in Aiyin's heart was relatively reliable, and Qing felt that putting aside the identity of a girlfriend, it was not strange to not have any news for a short time.

These thoughts flashed through Qing's mind quickly, and Qing edited the good news and sent it out.

【Qing: I just overslept. I'll be right here. 】

After sending the message, Qing wanted to call Ain, but she soon remembered that her voice had changed due to the cold, and she didn't want Ain to hear that she was sick now, because if Ain knew she was sick, she would most likely not let her go to practice.

But Qing couldn't just let Aiyin's thoughts run wild. More importantly, Qing felt very lonely after dreaming about her old home. She wanted to see Aiyin right away. So Qing had to go to the band practice.

Qing put away his phone, looked at Xiangzi and the landlady, bowed slightly and thanked them: "Thank you for your concern, and thank you Xiangzi for waking me up. I'm fine now, and it's not convenient for me to entertain you, so why don't you go back first."

The landlady said goodbye very straightforwardly and went back, but Xiangzi refused to leave.

"Qing, do you want to go out?"

After the landlady left, Xiangzi's tone became much more straightforward and he asked directly.

Qing nodded, and then continued to see the guest off: "That's right, so I really don't have the free time to entertain you, and I have to change my clothes, you should go back quickly."

Xiangzi shook his head and said, "No, if I'm not mistaken, you are sick, right?"

Qing didn't answer, but opened the closet and took out a set of clothes. After thinking for a while, he took out another coat.

Seeing that Qing didn't answer his question, Xiangzi continued to ask: "If you are sick, it is better to stay at home and rest. I promised your homeroom teacher that I would help take care of you, and you don't want to infect Aiyin with your cold, right?"

Qing replied sullenly: "I don't need your care, and I can wear a mask."
