Without realizing it, they started calling him by his name, but he didn't mind.
"Soyo, Lixi, is...Crychic's friend from before."
Gao Songdeng suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Nagasaki Motoyo's smile froze. "Light...why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
“Crychic?”
Bai Qiu looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Crychic, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I'm not very familiar with it.
"The band's name..." Gao Songdeng explained to Bai Qiu first, then looked at Su Shi, "I just talked to Qiu about it..."
Su Shi forced a smile. She had originally planned to bring up this topic with Deng when no one else was around.
I didn't expect Xiaodeng and Bai Qiu to be this close. It seems I need to increase my regard for him.
Bai Qiu sensed that something was off about Nagasaki Motoyo, so she continued to ask.
"So, the band is now..."
He didn't say anything more, but he roughly understood.
"Everyone... has separated."
Takamatsu Akari lowered her head completely this time, "It's all because of me..."
Under the table, where no one could see, Deng silently clenched his fist.
"It's because I sang badly."
"Light, that wasn't your fault at all!"
Shiina Tatsuki, carrying a plate, suddenly appeared and said in an unfriendly tone,
"It's that guy, the one who just quit without saying a word!"
Bai Qiu opened his mouth in surprise. There was another expert?
Also, could I have misunderstood Shiina Ritsuki? Compared to her tone now, she seemed quite gentle with me just now?!
"Wait, Lixi! Don't say that!"
Upon hearing Li Xi's words, Nagasaki Motoyo's heart tightened, and she hurriedly defended him.
"No one... is wrong!"
Bai Qiu looked at Nagasaki Motoyo in surprise, as this was the first time he had seen her in this state.
Moreover, the sound was a bit off.
"If no one is wrong..."
Why did they break up?
Takamatsu Akari, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Lixi looked at her nervously.
[Stimulates Gao Song's memories of the band, +300 notes]
[Discussing Crychic in front of Nagasaki Motoyo, +300 notes]
[Discussing bands in front of Shiina Tatsuki, +150 notes]
[Stimulating Takamatsu lamps...]
[In Nagasaki, Motoyo...]
Suddenly, a series of musical notes rang in Bai Qiu's mind.
Most of them were contributed by Takamatsu Akira and Nagasaki Motoyo.
Shiina Tatsuki seems a bit stingy.
Bai Qiu suddenly felt that it was quite guilty to see Deng so disappointed, but it seemed justifiable to have earned Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki's money!
I feel like Li Xi could be put under even more pressure, Xiang Zi could be made to suffer even more, and Chu Hua could be made to be more intense... but I'm also afraid of scaring away viewers of Loneliness and K-On!, so I'm a bit hesitant... What do you all think?
I heard everyone here can do anything, please send me some support! (*?▽?*)
Chapter 47 The lead singer is working too hard!
For a moment, the atmosphere became somber because of Gao Songdeng's speech.
Bai Qiu looked at Nagasaki Suze, expecting her to say something to ease the tension, but she also lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.
Then, Bai Qiu looked at Shiina Tatsuki, who was still standing there dumbfounded with the plate in her hand.
I wanted to say, "Lixi, please sit down!"
But considering that the other person was still working part-time, it didn't seem appropriate, and I wasn't familiar enough with them to exchange names, so I had to give up.
So, in order to change the subject, Bai Qiu spoke up to remind him,
"Deng, have a drink first!"
Li Xi then hurriedly realized what was happening.
"Yes! Light, your coffee."
Lixi carefully placed the mocha coffee in the lamp, feeling a little annoyed that she hadn't thought of that!
She looked at Bai Qiu with some reluctance, but she still had to prepare the hot Grey Earl Grey tea and matcha parfait.
Nagasaki Motoyo, having regained her composure, comforted the lamp.
"Lamp, Xiangzi must have some reason..."
After saying that, she didn't look at Gao Songdeng, but instead looked at Bai Qiu.
Deng pursed her lips, recalling Xiangzi's indifferent expression, and did not answer.
Could it be the Xiangzi he knows?
A sense of doubt arose in Bai Qiu's heart, recalling what Shiina Riki had just said: "Withdrawing without saying anything."
He asked curiously,
Why did Xiangzi quit?
Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head, and then,
In order to test whether Bai Qiu knew Xiangzi, Su Shi had no choice but to rub salt into her own wounds and recall what had happened back then.
After Crychic successfully held a live concert, Xiangzi didn't come to the recording studio for a long time. The last time they met, he directly said he wanted to quit...
"So, something must have happened to Xiangzi."
Su Shi said firmly.
Bai Qiu nodded after hearing what Su Shi said.
He felt there was nothing wrong with the lamp; the problem lay with Xiangzi, who had suddenly left.
Why doesn't everyone talk about it?
Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes lit up.
"Yes, as long as everyone sits down and talks things out, it can be resolved!"
"What's the point of talking to that guy?"
Lixi, carrying the plate, reappeared and said coldly.
With two "bangs," Li Xi put down Su Shi's black tea and Bai Qiu's matcha parfait in turn.
Bai Qiu always felt that when it came to her side, she put in a lot of effort.
He also knew that recently, store employees in the service industry have been under a lot of pressure, and there have even been incidents of people throwing coffee at customers.
He expressed his understanding of this.
However, I'm not the kind of unreasonable customer!
If you keep being so aggressive, you'll just become my tool for playing musical notes!
The group started drinking beverages.
To stay close to the light, Lixi stood to the side with her arms crossed.
Bai Qiu silently took out her phone and started searching for Crychic on a video website.
Since there were live performances, some information should be available.
Just then, the store's glass door opened, and a petite figure walked in, dragging a suitcase.
Ririko Maji, a regular employee at RiNG, smiled and spoke to her after seeing this.
"Lena, are we going to play again?"
Kaname Lenai nodded.
He unpacked his backpack, slung his guitar over his shoulder, plugged in the amp, and did it all in one smooth motion.
As Yuena looked up, she was about to strum the strings with her pick.
Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing.
She quickly packed her suitcase and strode towards Bai Qiu.
"Feeding the stray cats! What are you doing?"
Lixi immediately stepped forward and asked about the stray cat from RiNG.
She often does strange things.
It wouldn't be good if she came over and startled the lamp.
Yao Le Nai ignored her and went straight to Bai Qiu.
"Matcha Baguette"
Her beautiful heterochromatic eyes were fixed on the matcha parfait on Bai Qiu's table.
The group looked at Bai Qiu and Yao Le Nai with suspicion.
Bai Qiu was also surprised, not expecting to see Yao Le Nai here.
He was also puzzled because he hadn't received a reply since adding her last time.
After a brief explanation, Bai Qiu ordered the two matcha parfaits that Le Nai owed her.
Le Naijia pulled up a chair and sat down next to Bai Qiu, happily eating her matcha parfait.
Bai Qiu's eyes lit up as he found Crychic's team account.
I also saw the video of Crychic's first live performance.
What surprised him even more was that there were comments he had left below the video.
“The lead singer works so hard!”
Bai Qiu thought for a moment and concluded that it must have been left behind by him while surfing the internet.
But he is now very confused. He clearly meant to praise, but for some reason it seems to have been misunderstood as sarcasm.
So much so that it seems like I've been blacklisted or blocked?
“The lead singer was trying too hard.”
Looking at Bai Qiu's phone, he told Le Nai to swallow the parfait and suddenly spoke.
Li Xi's scrutinizing gaze, Su Shi's questioning gaze, and Deng's timid gaze all looked at each other at the same time.
They were all too familiar with that phrase.
The first live performance, the day Xiangzi stopped coming to the recording studio.
Bai Qiu swallowed hard and looked at the light.
"Light, I'm saying this to compliment you, do you believe me?"
So it was you!
