"Lights! Did that guy named Chen lie to you and that's why you agreed to form a band?!"
Li Xi urgently sought to protect the lamp in front of him.
Miss Lixi has never been one to beat around the bush; she is unafraid of any schemes or tricks.
Miss Aine was displeased with such malicious speculation about Chen Lixi.
"Chen, Deng, and I are all classmates, and we have a very good relationship! I'm the one who invited him to join the band, so I won't allow you to make such malicious assumptions about him!"
However, the pink-haired girl's words were not enough to sway Lixi's mind.
What shocked her most was the fluctuation of Deng's emotions, whom she was protecting behind her.
"No, don't do this! Lixi..."
"Aiyin and Chen, they're both willing to be in a band with me for life! I believe in them!"
Even the person she was protecting had betrayed her, leaving Miss Lixi in an awkward situation.
"So, Lixi, do you want to join the band? If you join, you can not only be with Deng, but also see what kind of person that Chen is, right?"
Lixi has drawn all the firepower, and the information gathered about Miss Su Shi is almost complete.
To avoid embarrassing Lixi, Su Shi timely offered him a way out.
They reunited with the lights and reunited with their band.
This one thing alone made it impossible for Lixi to refuse.
Furthermore, she didn't know anything about Chen, and she wondered if he might have bad intentions towards the lamp or if he might damage it.
Li Xi decides to join
However, differing opinions arose regarding the allocation of positions within the band.
Because of her past trauma, Miss Aine's desired position became lead vocalist, so she wouldn't have to embarrass herself with a guitar, and she would still be the center of the stage.
However, the current band has three members from the previous dynasty.
Miss Aine's wish could not be fulfilled at all, and she was forced to return to being a guitarist.
Although it was somewhat reluctant, the band hadn't had any activities lately, so Ai Yin temporarily put aside her worries and happily prepared to ask Chen for credit.
For the lamp, everything that happened today was already dreamlike enough.
Su Shi, Li Xi
Her original friends reunited around her in just one afternoon.
Moreover, this time they made an eternal promise.
Su Shi and Li Xi both promised her that they would "be in a band for life".
Her mood had never been so bright since the band broke up.

I need to get a guitar.

But where can we borrow it?
Looking at the message from Miss Aine, Chen was impressed by her efficiency, but he also had to consider what he would do without an instrument.
You can borrow the equipment at Ring, but you still need to practice at home.
Chen didn't want to break up Mygo's original five-member group.
Therefore, he did not include himself in the final list of five people he booked.
Anyway, Lixi and Sushi are probably happy for him to withdraw. He's still good friends with Deng and Aine, after all.
Who is the best person to borrow an instrument from? Of course, it's Miss Liang, who's right next to him.
"Ok?"
Liang raised an eyebrow, signaling Chen to explain the reason.

She does have it, but why would she need to borrow it?
"I need to help out with Ai Yin's band for a while, but I don't have the money to buy a guitar."
"Oh? You borrowed it to play with women, huh? You want to play with women even when you're broke? How rock and roll~" Ryo nodded seriously, but didn't agree.
The band's lineup is complete; they're just missing a keyboardist.
Moreover, compared to Mygo, Chen still prefers the atmosphere of ending a band performance.
"Also, I want to join the End Band as a keyboardist. But I don't know anything yet, and I don't have a keyboard, so I'd like to borrow another keyboard from Ms. Ryo to learn."
"Hmm? So you're finally not hiding your desires anymore~ Are we all within your hunting range, then~"
Miss Liang is becoming more and more interested in Chen.
"Hongxia and Yili won't have any objections, especially Yili, she'll be so happy she'll fly to the sky, right? In that case, my objections won't make any difference."
"As long as you explain to them in person that you want to join, I'll lend you these two instruments. As for when you'll be able to practice them well, that's up to you."
Miss Liang made several requests
"If you drag our band down, I'll take back the guitar and impeach Hongxia for cheating on you at the same time, how about that?"
"Hey, you're not going to let them find out you're two-timing them, are you?"
"This Ryo from Sakura Empire, the band isn't my harem, what am I afraid of?"
Chen threw a boomerang
"Anyway, it's not a difficult request, so I agreed. Ending the band is my ultimate goal, so please rest assured, Ms. Ryo. Chihaya and her band are just helping out temporarily."
"I recorded it for you~ If anyone comes looking for you later, I'll play it back for them."
Miss Liang was very pleased
"Go ahead and record, it's fine. That was my plan all along."
Chen waved his hand dismissively, and seeing that Liang seemed genuinely indifferent to the matter, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Upon receiving this news, Hongxia and Ichiri began to warmly welcome Chen's joining.

Chapter 18 The Accumulated Pressure
As usual, when it was time for evening shifts, Chen, who had already become fully proficient at her job, skillfully processed the customers' orders.
"Sister Xiaozhi, can I learn to use the keyboard from you?"
During a break from work, Chen made this suggestion to Xiaozhi.
"Hmm? Why do you suddenly want to learn the keyboard? Do you have enough time right now to learn another musical instrument?"
After class, I'll be coming to work soon.
Why does Chen, with such a tight schedule, still want to learn a musical instrument?
"Didn't you say you weren't planning to join Momoka's band? Why are you suddenly learning keyboard?"
Ash has always been a person who speaks his mind.
There's nothing to hide from Xiaozhi and Chen.
"Hmph, teaching you is no problem, but where are you going to buy a keyboard? You've only been working for a few days, you can't possibly have enough money."
Xiao Zhi hesitated whether to lend Chen money so that he could buy a suitable musical instrument.
"I've already borrowed a keyboard from a friend in the band, no problem, Sister Xiaozhi."
A slight sense of regret welled up in Xiaozhi's heart when he heard that the problem had been solved.
She wanted to help Chen more.
"Let me make this clear first: learning takes time and effort, and don't expect me to be gentle with you."
"I will point out all your problems sternly! This isn't a job where you can get used to things so quickly, understand?"
When it comes to music, Xiao Zhi is absolutely intolerant of any flaws.
Yes or no, it either works or it doesn't.
She was unwilling to go against her own feelings and coax others.
It's not that Xiaozhi is cold-hearted, but rather that she understands the negative consequences of doing so would be greater than anything else.
However, she was also afraid that Chen would misunderstand her harsh words as meaning that she disliked him.
"Understood~ With a dedicated and responsible teacher like Sister Xiaozhi, I will definitely put in 200% effort in my studies."
As always, Chen understood what she meant.
Xiao Zhi is becoming more and more accustomed to having Chen around.
"We both work on weekdays, so the time is set for the weekend. Since you've decided to study, all your weekend leisure time has to give way to mine."
"I'll assign you tasks every week, and if you don't complete them the following week..."
Xiao Zhi's words sounded fierce, but he didn't elaborate on how to punish Chen.
Chen simply patted his chest, indicating that he could be completely trusted.
The keyboard learning issue is resolved, and we've borrowed the equipment from Ms. Liang. The band's preparations can now be temporarily put on hold.
As time went by, the number of guests gradually decreased, and Chen had time to check his phone. Just as he unlocked the screen, several messages came in at the same time.
Miss Aine reminded me to meet the other members of Ring tomorrow.
Liang's message was concise and clear: she had entrusted the musical instrument she lent to Chen to the store manager at Fanxing for safekeeping.
I asked him to go to the Starry Sky to practice.
He's really a busy man now.
Chen replied to each of the messages that popped up on his phone.
"Yili, I've made plans to go to Ring with Aine tomorrow, so I won't be able to practice with you at Starry Sky. But I can go to Starry Sky with you after school, okay?"
"No problem, but I need to go to Starry Sky with Yili first tomorrow. I borrowed a guitar from Miss Liang, and after I get it, I'll go to Ring."
"I am deeply grateful for Miss Liang's immense kindness. I have no way to repay her, so I can only repay her by being her servant in the next life."
The message from Chen appeared almost instantly after I read it.
Yili was the first to reply. She was disappointed that she couldn't practice with Chen, but she couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of being able to spend some time alone with Chen after school tomorrow.
"Hey, Chenchen! Can I take a lamp with me to the Starry Night show tomorrow? I feel really bad for running off like that last time, and I want to apologize to Hongxia and the others in person."
Ai Yin rolled around on the bed, giving herself a thumbs up for her perfect reason.
If she doesn't go with them, she'll have to spend more time alone with Chen.
"Treat me to a meal"
Miss Liang's reply remained concise.
Aine really isn't giving Ichiri any chance... completely blocking any opportunity for him and Ichiri to be alone together.
Chen couldn't refuse Ai Yin, who was playing tricks on him, since her reasons were quite legitimate.
Her departure has caused the most trouble for Miss Lin Meng.
Miss Liang's behavior is still too unpredictable.
Frowning, Chen tried hard to think of a solution.
"Miss Liang, I'll come to pick up the instrument tomorrow afternoon. As for lunch, I'm currently working at a restaurant; I'll send you the address."
I work Monday through Friday nights. If you have time, come over, and I'll treat you to dinner—I'll make sure you're stuffed.
"Aine will come with me tomorrow; she wants to apologize to you in person for what happened last time."
After editing the message in the dialog box, Chen clicked send.
"Oh, I'll go. As for what happened last time, Hongxia and I have long since forgotten about it."
After replying to that sentence, Chen's next request made her sit up straight.
