In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Chen Xinghua said firmly.

"I've already made the music for Bitian Banzou... Now all I need is a new song."

Shiina Tatsuki said that since you don't want to play "Kasuga Shadow", then try not to play "Kasuga Shadow" as much as possible.

It’s just that Shiina Riki won’t say this explicitly. She will just try to do it in a way that others can’t notice.

This is how Tatsuki Shiina treats people and deals with things.

I'm so bad... Shiina Riki thought so.

"The new sheet music has been sent to you."

Chen Xinghua let out a long sigh, then opened his phone and checked the music score that Riki Shiina had just sent him.

...Compared to the music score from a few days ago, I changed a few details and it's a little better.

“The music score is well composed.”

Hearing Chen Xinghua's praise, Shiina Riki felt that she should be happy, but her hands hanging below her body indicated that she was in a very bad mood.

If it were Xiangzi or my sister, they would have easily accomplished the goal that took me weeks to complete.

What is the difference between ordinary and taken for granted?

Memories of the past flooded into Shiina Riki's mind, those were memories of her time at Hanaoka Junior High School.

At that time, I followed my older sister's example and joined Yuqiu's wind band. I also followed my older sister's example and started playing the trumpet... I planned to prove myself in this field.

Then after spending a lot of time practicing, I thought my trumpet skills could reach my sister's level.

Although I also know that my sister does not take hard work as an ordinary thing like me, she just practiced the trumpet casually and surpassed my trumpet level.

I guess it's just a matter of course for my sister to be able to play the trumpet well.

The skills that took me several days to learn can be achieved by my sister in a short time.

But so what... It's only natural that even an ordinary person can catch up with the genius sister as long as he works hard.

"You did it. That's great. You're truly Maki's sister."

"It's only natural, she's Maki's sister after all."

"Maki's sister is definitely not an ordinary person. Isn't this a matter of course?"

The past evaluations once again chased after Shiina Riki's back, exerting pressure on her petite body and forcing her to keep moving forward.

No matter how powerful she is, it is only natural because she is the younger sister of the genius Maki Shiina.

Isn't it natural that the younger sister of the genius Shiina Maki can play the trumpet well? ! !

...In the end, I ran away like a deserter. Shiina Riki evaluated himself.

Not only did he switch from trumpet to drummer, he also did not join the Hanaoka Wind Band that his sister had joined, and he was promoted to Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy instead of going directly to Hanaoka Girls' Academy.

Because in that academy, there will always be people comparing me with my sister.

No matter how hard I work, I will only get a self-evident evaluation in the end... After all, she is Shiina Maki's sister, so it is only natural for her to achieve success.

Shiina Riki clenched his fists, seeming a little unwilling in his heart.

"Do you really have to go live with Deng?"

Chen Xinghua said casually.

“I think it’s better for everyone to hear the song of the lights.”

Shiina Riki answered without hesitation.

"Is that all?"

Chen Xinghua continued to ask, with a tone that seemed to indicate he was unwilling to give up until he got to the bottom of the matter. "Do you really think that just spreading the song of the lights is enough?"

135

Chapter 135 That’s enough.

"That's enough."

Shiina Riki's tone was firm, and there was no trace of confusion in his purple pupils.

"Obviously no one asked you to spread the song of the lights."

Chen Xinghua tilted his head and looked into Shiina Riki's purple eyes, which were filled with anger.

"...including the lights."

Chen Xinghua's cold voice made Shiina Riki suddenly get up from his chair, stand up and look down at him condescendingly.

"What do you really want?"

Saying something like that would definitely anger Li Xi... Hong Xia could predict that using her drumsticks.

But if we don't put the brakes on her behavior, the consequences will probably be even more serious.

For example, a normal high school band usually cannot rehearse two songs within two weeks, one of which has not even been revised in terms of music score, and another of which has not even been decided on the music to be played.

If Lixi insists on the band performing in the next two weeks... I'm afraid it will only lead to the end.

Having high expectations for yourself may be a good thing, but if you mess things up because you have too high expectations for yourself and for others, then it is not a good thing.

"Ha...you guys know a lot about lights?"

Shiina Riki's tone was becoming more and more like her usual stressed tone.

"I know you."

Despite the pressure from Shiina Riki, Chen Xinghua's expression remained calm, not looking at all like he was stressed out. "You have too high expectations for the band."

"Can you understand me?"

Shiina Riki's tone became increasingly impatient. "If you want to slack off, just say so. Don't be so nagging."

"Shiina-san, what are your requirements for the band?"

Chen Xinghua ignored the increasingly hostile pupils on Shiina Riki's face and continued to look into Shiina Riki's increasingly impatient eyes.

"Is it a casual band like a high school band, or is it a serious professional band?"

Chen Xinghua asked calmly, if the band of lights was the former, he could still stay here.

But if it was the latter... he could only say that he was currently just the keyboardist of the Ending Band, and whether or not he wanted to become the professional keyboardist of Deng's band required careful consideration.

Because if you are in a professional band, you have to talk not only about feelings, but also about money... Unless the person's feelings for the band are greater than material benefits, he will go in and work even if he loses money.

"I'd really like to know that."

And why would I stay in a professional band that is bound to break up.

After all, Aine's academic performance is very good. Even in the Yugaoka Girls' Academy, which focuses on academic advancement, she is able to surpass the part-time worker Xiaoxiang and get first place.

If she continues like this, she will be able to be admitted to the University of Tokyo sooner or later.

Should I go to the University of Tokyo... or choose to play in a professional band with an uncertain future.

This is a really, really, really difficult decision to make.

And if Aiyin doesn't want to accompany Deng on the path of a professional band, then this nameless band will definitely face the problem of disbanding.

"A band that can match the singing of the lights."

Shiina Riki answered without hesitation, "At least do this!"

Chen Xinghua fiddled with his fingers. In addition to those bands that were just for fun like high school bands, there were also bands that were seriously pursuing a professional career.

Of course, there is another option, which is to pressure the band with the standards of a semi-professional band while not taking the path of a professional band.

...How should I put it, anyone who can resist leaving this band has an incredible ability to withstand pressure.

"But did Deng ever say anything about this? Did she ask the band to be worthy of her singing?"

Chen Xinghua's tone was very casual.

...Never, Deng just wants to be with his friends in the band.

As long as he could form a band for life, Deng would probably be willing to form a studio band for life.

"By the way, one more question: has this band ever done anything besides rehearsing?"

Extremely strict rehearsals will bring a lot of negative feedback.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as there are enough positive feedbacks, it will be enough to offset the negative feedbacks.

...But the question is, is there anything that can bring positive feedback?

The band can still go on, thanks to the fact that it hasn't been running for very long. The bombs buried over time are not big enough to blow up the entire band.

Shiina Riki's face turned a little red, as if she had just done some strenuous exercise. Her chest, which was much larger than Aine and Kita's, rose and fell with her breathing.

He must be angry. Chen Xinghua came to this conclusion just by glancing at Shiina Riki's expression.

But he was prepared for this because telling the truth was a very hurtful thing to do to others.

…But sometimes, people have to say words that hurt others.

"No."

Shiina Riki uttered these words with difficulty. Deng had never asked Shiina Riki to make the overall level of the band worthy of her singing.

That never happened, everything was just something Shiina Riki did voluntarily.

...This band has basically done nothing other than practice and rehearse. They haven't even discussed the band's name or costumes.

Until now, the band is still called the Band of Lights, not a specific name.

"I say all this just to say one thing: there's a big problem within the band... You're working too hard, but others aren't willing to work as hard as you."

Chen Xinghua said softly.

…Especially Aine.

Chen Xinghua felt that Aine would not work as hard for the band as Tatsuki Shiina did.

In other words, even in professional bands, there are only a few people like Tatsuki Shiina who are willing to risk their lives for the cause.

Chen Xinghua couldn't help but recall the experience when Ms. Shiina almost ended up in the hospital because she worked too hard to compose music.

He felt that Deng didn't want Ms. Shiina to work so hard, because if Ms. Shiina died from staying up late to compose music, they would not be able to form a lifelong band and would not be able to make lifelong friends.

"Why don't you fight hard?"

Ms. Shiina tried to hold the panda-style milk tea she had just ordered, but she couldn't control the strength in her hand and squeezed the entire milk tea cup, causing it to dent.

The brown milk tea liquid splashed onto Shiina girl's white private clothes.

"Why?"

Chen Xinghua stared into Shiina Riki's panicked eyes and said, "Not trying your best is natural. Trying your best requires a reason."

136

Chapter 136 Actually, I would rather form a band with Shiina Tatsuki.

Shiina Riki fell into deep suffocation. She gasped for breath, trying to absorb the oxygen she needed from the air.

"You feel……"

Chen Xinghua originally wanted to say at this time, "Why do you think Aiyin is working so hard for the band?", but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to "Why should I work so hard for the band..."

The effects of the two should be the same...just take Aine out.

But that's okay.

“…It’s never something that can be taken for granted.”

Chen Xinghua's tone remained calm, without any trace of anger or rebuke.

But when his voice reached Shiina Riki's ears, it sounded so harsh, so disgusting to Shiina Riki, and so terrifying.

"If you want me to fight for the band, you have to give me a reason that's worth fighting for."

Chen Xinghua naturally looked at Shiina Riki's water-stained palm.

Shiina Riki clenched his palms, his fingertips deeply embedded in his palms.
