You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

When she pushed open the door of Practice Room 3, she was surprised to find that Sanjiao Hatsuka was already there.

"Xia classmate is so early!"

"Just finished tuning." Sanjiao Chuxia raised his head and smiled a fairly sincere smile. He was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and the braided bracelet on his wrist.

Chihaya Aine unconsciously took a few more glances.

"Hmm? You bought the guitar already?"

"Yeah, I bought it at a music store a few days ago." She put down the guitar bag behind her and carefully took out a green guitar with 'ESP' printed on the headstock. "How do you like this guitar?"

"ESP's ULTRATONE... It's truly an excellent instrument, with a wide range of tonal adaptability."

"Really?" Chihaya Aine looked very happy. "When the clerk recommended it to me, I was worried it wouldn't be suitable for beginners..."

"Do you want me to help you tune it?" Sanjiao Chuxia stretched out her hand and waited politely for her response.

"Is it okay?" The girl carefully handed the guitar over. "The clerk said it's already tuned..."

"A new guitar tends to go out of tune easily. And it's best to tune your guitar every few days to keep it in tune."

He took the guitar, plugged it in, and gently plucked the strings. Sunlight streamed through the window onto the guitar, illuminating his focused profile.

Chihaya Aine unconsciously held her breath. Mikado Hatsuka's concentration was a stark contrast to her usual self, her long eyelashes drooping, her lips pressed into a serious line. As his fingers twirled the tuning pegs, the blue and white bracelet on his wrist swayed gently with the movement.

"Alright." He handed the tuned guitar back to her. "Want to try it?"

When she took the guitar, Chihaya Aine's fingertips accidentally brushed against the back of the other person's hand. She pulled her hand back as if burned, and the guitar almost slipped.

"Be careful!" Sanka Hatsuka held the neck of the guitar firmly and looked at her with some confusion, "Is Chihaya-san nervous?"

"Ahahahaha... I'm not nervous." She laughed dryly, but her ears turned red.

Chihaya Aine sat down holding the guitar, her fingers somewhat stiffly pressing on the strings.

"Um... Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, where should we start?"

He pulled a chair and sat opposite her, keeping just the right distance.

"Let's start with the most basic guitar-holding posture." Sanjiao Chuxia picked up her guitar and demonstrated, "When you sit, you can cross your legs and lean the guitar against the upper leg like this..."

The girl imitated his movements, but she felt something was wrong. Sanjiao Hatsuka hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked behind her.

"Move your elbow a little lower," he lightly supported her arm and adjusted her posture, deliberately avoiding direct contact, "let your thumb rest naturally here..."

Despite this, Chihaya Aine could still smell the faint aroma of coffee on him, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit. She secretly raised her eyes, and from this angle she could see Sanjiao Hatsuka's well-defined jawline and slightly trembling eyelashes.

(Teacher Xia... is so handsome...)

There is no doubt about this. After all, even Sanjiao Chuhua's face has attracted countless fans, let alone the opposite-sex version of Sanjiao Chuxia. The average girl's resistance to this face can be said to be almost zero.

But now she was practicing the piano, and realizing that she was distracted, Chihaya Aine quickly lowered her head and continued to look at her guitar and adjust her movements.

"What's wrong?" Sanjiao Chuxia noticed that something was wrong with her.

"No, nothing!" She frantically plucked the strings of her guitar, making a harsh noise. "Is this how you play it?"

This complete novice look made Sanjiao Chuxia laugh a little: "Don't use too much force, and relax your right hand. Come, look at me."

He returned to his seat and slowly plucked the strings with his right hand.

"Just like me, gently let the strings slip away from your fingers..."

Chihaya Aine tried to imitate, but this time her voice was much softer.

"Wow! I popped it out!" She looked up excitedly and met Sanjiao Chuxia's approving gaze, and her cheeks suddenly flushed.

"You're learning quickly. Next, let's try climbing the scales..."

As the lesson progressed, Chihaya Aine found it increasingly difficult to concentrate. Every time Mikado Hatsuka leaned over to help her adjust her fingering, her fingers would tremble unconsciously; when he praised her rapid progress, an inexplicable joy would well up in her chest.

“When pressing a string, the first joint should be upright.”

He gently held Chihaya Aine's soft left hand and squeezed her knuckles.

"Like this." The voice sounded in her ear, with a gentle breath, "Press down vertically with the pads of your fingertips."

Chihaya Aine could feel her heartbeat racing. His palms were warm and dry, with a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips, and the touch was surprisingly soothing.

"Try harder...yes, that's it."

When the correct tone finally sounded, Chihaya Aine finally breathed a sigh of relief. She found a thin layer of sweat on her back, and Sankaku Hatsuka also let go of her hand and sat back in the chair.

Towards the end of the course, Chihaya Aine was able to memorize the fingerings from do to ti, but it was a little difficult to climb them all in one breath, and she would easily crash if she went too fast.

She observed the way Sanjiao Hatsuka demonstrated—

His fingers danced nimbly across the strings, the scale flowing smoothly, whether climbing forward or backward. His fingers were long and bony, the tips gleaming white as he pressed the strings, and the faint blue veins on the back of his hands as he plucked. If he used...

(No! What was I thinking!)

Chihaya Aine suddenly came to her senses and shook her head violently, driving away those strange thoughts.

"Let's stop here for today." Sanjiao Chuxia put down the guitar and checked the time. "It's almost three o'clock."

The girl then realized how quickly the two-hour lesson had flown by. She reluctantly let go of the strings, her fingertips already slightly red from pressing and plucking them for so long.

"It's normal for your fingers to ache. The pain will go away after a couple of days as the calluses form."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it over.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Chihaya Aine took the water bottle, her fingertips accidentally touching his again, "Um...will we still be here next week?"

Sanjiao Chuxia packed up her guitar and said without looking up, "Well, it's still this practice room. Remember to practice for at least half an hour every day."

"I know~" Chihaya Aine dragged out the last syllable, and her voice unconsciously became a little sweet.

………………

ps: I don't know guitar or music theory, so I just wrote the teaching part randomly ()

ps2: How do you know that I can get a cat with 10 consecutive shots, and a birthday with 5 consecutive shots soyo

ps3: I originally wanted to write a sequel for Soyo, but I had already written about it in the book before... How about just writing about Soyo's sequel?

Chapter 201: Ain's Tang Xiao Must Be Appreciated

"I know~" Chihaya Aine dragged out the last syllable, and her voice unconsciously became a little sweet.

Sanjiao Chuxia put the guitar and tuner into the guitar bag and said, "Remember to practice every day, otherwise the calluses on your hands won't grow and it will hurt every time."

"Yes, I will." She pursed her lips. "Well...if there's anything you don't understand during practice..."

"You can message me, but it's best to do it after dinner. If it's earlier, [Personaction] still needs practice, so I might not see your message."

Chihaya Aine nodded and carefully put the guitar bag behind her.

"Teacher Xia teaches very patiently... Thank you."

"You're welcome"

Just when the two were about to leave and go home, the door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open, and a girl with silver hair and heterochromic eyes slipped in like a cat.

Lenai had to pull the cart with one hand and hold the matcha parfait with the other, and no one knew what she used to open the door.

"Xiao Xia, come and play the guitar."

"Little Lenai? Isn't there any practice scheduled for today?"

Normally, when there is no practice time, Kaname usually plays guitar in the shop outside [RiNG].

"Because I want to be with Xiaoxia." After saying that, she moved a stool and sat next to him without caring that Sanjiao Chuxia had already put away the guitar.

"Finish your matcha parfait first, before it drips on the floor."

He sighed helplessly and then took out the guitar again.

As for why Lenai knew he was in this practice room, there was no need to ask.

This "Practice Room No. 3" can now almost be regarded as Personaction's permanent dedicated practice room. Unless there are special circumstances, it will be reserved for their band.

The reason... is because Kaname is the boss's granddaughter.

Lena pouted, finished the remaining dessert in a few bites, then looked up at him eagerly. Sanjiao Hatsuka also took a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth as before.

"that……"

Chihaya Aine looked at the girl who suddenly appeared and looked familiar with some curiosity. She was about to ask something when she was interrupted by Kaname Rakuna.

"Who are you?" She looked at Chihaya Aine, her heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm Chihaya Aine, Teacher Xia's student!" Chihaya Aine straightened her back subconsciously.

"Student?" Kaname tilted her head and suddenly grabbed her hand to examine it. "The fingers are so soft... no calluses."

She looked at the other person's face with some suspicion, as if to say, "Are you really a guitar player?"

Mikado Hatsuka ruffled Kaname Rakuna's hair and said, "Everyone starts from scratch. Chihaya-san is just a beginner."

"This is Yasuna." He turned to Chihaya Aine, "The guitarist of Personaction. If you've seen our performances, you should know him."

"Oh!"

After hearing what Sanka Hatsuka said, she finally remembered where she had seen Yao Lenai before.

(So ​​she's the guitarist for Personaction. She's completely different from her on stage...)

It was hard for Chihaya Aine to imagine that the guitarist who was so skilled and wild on stage could be like a clingy kitten when not playing guitar. This contrast...

(I always think it's kind of cute.)

Ask Lenai to let go of her hand and take out her guitar from the cart: "Come and play guitar."

"Wait, Ryuna-chan." Sankaku Hatsuka hurriedly stopped him, "Chihaya-kun has just started learning scales..."

But she had already plugged it in expertly, her fingers dancing across the strings. A fierce and gorgeous solo instantly filled the entire practice room, shocking Chihaya Aine so much that her eyes widened.

"So...so awesome!"

Mikado Hatsuka sighed and picked up the guitar as well: "Chihaya-san, do you want to go back now or stay and play guitar with me?"

Hearing his words, Chihaya Aine pointed at herself in surprise.

"Me? Can I?"

"It won't be complicated." Sanjiao Chuxia plugged the guitar back in. "Just play 63231323."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it slowly so that the other person could see clearly the fingers he was plucking the strings.

"Just follow our rhythm, can you do that?"

"Oh, okay." She hurried back to her previous position and hurriedly took out her guitar and plugged it in.

However, Kaname was already getting a little impatient.

"Guitar, aren't you going to start yet?"

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and placed her fingers on the strings with trembling hands. She plucked the strings carefully: "6...3...2..."

"You don't have to count," Sanjiao Chuxia gently instructed, "Relax your wrist, like this..."

His slender fingers gently brushed across the strings, his movements smooth as flowing water. Chihaya Aine couldn't help but stare at his hands. The sight of his hands dancing on the strings inexplicably made her heart beat faster.

"Come on, play like this. Just keep up with the rhythm of me and little Lenai."

This time, Chihaya Aine relaxed a little, and the simple rhythm pattern gradually took shape.

So Sanka Hatsuka and Kaname Rakuna looked at each other and then started their performance.

He wanted Lenae's guitar to sound free and unrestrained, so he used it as a foundation and slowed down the other party's rhythm as much as possible so that Chihaya Aine could keep up.

But Maomao is free, her improvisations becoming increasingly wild, her silver hair swaying gently with the rhythm. After a gorgeous glissando, she suddenly turned to Chihaya Aine, a mischievous glint in her heterochromatic eyes: "We need to speed up."

"Wait, wait!" She tried to keep up in a panic, her fingers almost getting tangled.

Sanjiao Chuxia couldn't help laughing, but the rhythm of her hands steadily controlled the overall speed: "Don't panic, just follow my rhythm."

The sunlight filtered through the window, casting dappled shadows on the three guitars. Chihaya Aine's fingertips gradually turned red, but the wonderful sense of accomplishment made her reluctant to stop.

When the performance naturally ended, the practice room fell silent for a moment. Chihaya Aine looked at her own trembling fingers and suddenly felt indescribably moved.

"I...I actually caught up!"

(This is just the beginning. You don’t even need to switch chords, you just play the rhythm.)
