Chapter 177 Even Shiina Tatsuki Gets Nervous
midnight.
Bai Qiu suddenly woke up.
He reached for his phone and glanced at the time; it was 3:30 a.m.
I wonder what time the girls next door stayed up before they finally went to sleep.
In short, around 12 o'clock, he went to rest in the room next to Aiyin's.
Bai Qiu, lying in bed, tried to fall asleep again, but found that the more she lay there, the more energetic she became.
I don't know if I'm worried about their live performance today, or if they're having trouble sleeping in their new beds, or what.
Bai Qiu is having trouble sleeping.
Bai Qiu got up, turned on the room light, and prepared to scroll through her phone to pass the time.
Despite my worries, the live performance will be held at night.
There's no need to torture yourself if you can't sleep. You can just stay up all night and catch up on sleep during the day.
At this moment, in the doorway.
Unable to fall asleep either, Shiina Ritsuki went to the bathroom and returned to find the light still on in the room next door, belonging to Shiraaki.
I thought of that song by Deng, which was full of confessional emotions.
Li Xi knocked on the door as if possessed.
Li Xi really wanted to ask Bai Qiu what she thought about the lamp.
If Bai Qiu also liked lamps, Li Xi felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
No! Why would she be worried about this?
Hmm... she just wanted to help Deng confirm this guy's feelings in advance.
After all, this guy is always surrounded by so many girls. Although he doesn't have any frivolous behavior and gets along well with everyone, it still makes people a little uncomfortable.
It would be bad if the innocent and kind-hearted lamp were deceived.
But if Bai Qiu doesn't like Deng, Deng will be hurt. Given Deng's personality, he will probably fall into a state of utter despair.
Shiina Tatsuki couldn't even bear to imagine such a scene.
...Who could it be so late?
Bai Qiu opened the door with doubt in her heart.
"…Lixi?"
"Hmm..." Shiina Riki nodded to Bai Qiu.
Using the faint light escaping from the house, Bai Qiu easily recognized Shiina Riki, who had a cold and alluring face and a beautiful beauty mark under her eye.
Li Xi actually attacked him at night?
She's even bolder than Aine.
Bai Qiu's assessment of Li Xi's danger level rose several notches.
In the room, on a chair.
Shiina Tatsuki entered without a word.
She appeared calm, but her gaze kept scanning the room.
She barged into the boy's room in the middle of the night. Although she didn't think Bai Qiu would do anything to her, she had spent time alone with Bai Qiu in her room.
But now Lixi is unusually nervous.
Bai Qiu poured her a glass of water.
He sat down on the bed; there wasn't a second chair in the room.
"Thank you." Shiina Tatsuki reached out and took it, then fell silent.
Without a second thought, Bai Qiu smiled and asked, "Li Xi, can't you sleep either?"
"Hmm." Shiina Tatsuki took a sip of water and looked at Bai Qiu with a puzzled expression. "You too?"
"I woke up, and then couldn't fall back asleep," Bai Qiu replied, adding, "So you saw that the light in my room was still on, so you knocked on the door to chat with me?"
Shiina Tatsuki hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I guess so..."
But then she asked, "Have you been studying composition diligently lately?"
"Of course." Bai Qiu perked up at the mention of this. "I've read all of your books."
Like a child showing off their grades to their teacher, Bai Qiu looked at Li Xi with a hint of pride.
Subconsciously, she wanted to ask why, since she had finished reading it, she didn't tell her or ask her any questions. But Shiina Tatsuki quickly remembered the reason.
"Well... that's good." Shiina Riki nodded, then pretended to be serious and said, "I'll be checking after the live performance. If I find out you're slacking off, you're in big trouble."
"Of course, my dear teacher Lixi," Bai Qiu said with a smile, "Don't underestimate him."
"You're not allowed to call me... Teacher Lixi."
Shiina Tatsuki coughed suddenly and almost choked on the water.
What an idiot! What nonsense is he spouting, acting like he owns the place.
Bai Qiu laughed and tried to brush it off, so he casually asked, "Aren't you nervous about performing live?"
Shiina Riki: “…”
Lixi fell into an eerie silence.
Bai Qiu was stunned. Could it be that his casual remark had come true?
That shouldn't be the case, you are Li Xi.
But Bai Qiu soon noticed that Li Xi had developed heavy dark circles under her eyes again, and her hands were gripping the hem of her skirt tightly.
So Li Xi was actually nervous?
Thinking about it this way, it seems like Lixi is under a lot of pressure.
Besides composing the music, she was also in charge of organizing everyone's practice sessions.
If we were to say that Takamatsu Akari values each member the most, then Shiina Tatsuki would be the one who values the band's development the most and prioritizes live performances the most.
Shiina Tatsuki was indeed very nervous when she thought about performing live.
I worry whether the lamp can sing, whether Ai Yinsu can perform well, and whether the stray cat will obediently play the tune according to the score.
What if, what if the live performance fails? Stray Cat might not be able to play in the band with everyone anymore, and Deng might feel really guilty...
So Lixi has been getting very little sleep these past few days.
Bai Qiu quickly came up with a solution.
"Come on, follow me, Lixi." Bai Qiu raised his voice slightly and made a gesture of putting his hands together in prayer.
“Uh…” Shiina Tatsuki looked up in surprise, somewhat confused, “Why do I have to do this?”
She's not Nagasaki Motoyo.
"Just follow my movements."
Bai Qiu said with a hint of helplessness.
He's not like Nagasaki Motoyo, who doesn't like doing this every day.
Why is Lixi being so fussy tonight, like a woman?
Oh, sorry, Lixi is a girl by nature.
"Ok."
Shiina Riki looked awkward, but still obediently followed Bai Qiu's lead.
However, it happened in the blink of an eye.
clap clap!
Two crisp slaps rang out almost simultaneously.
Before Shiina Riki could react, Bai Qiu slapped Shiina Riki's hands hard with both hands.
Shiina Riki immediately felt a burning, tingling pain on the back of her hand, and her fair hand turned red instantly.
Shiina Riki's eyes widened as she glared angrily at Shiraaki, who had suddenly attacked her.
Li Xi gritted his teeth, but considering the people sleeping next door, he had to lower his voice and say, "What are you doing!"
She clenched her fists, determined not to let Bai Qiu off easily unless he gave her a proper explanation.
"Lixi, don't get agitated." Bai Qiu gently raised her hand and smiled reassuringly, "See, you're just too easily agitated."
Shiina Riki's eyes widened even more, and she stood up abruptly, taking a step closer.
It must be because she was too gentle with Bai Qiu recently.
Before Li Xi could get too close, Bai Qiu made a gesture to stop him and said slowly, "Alright, Li Xi, don't you notice that you're less nervous this way? Your hands won't shake anymore."
"Moreover, this level of pain will not only not affect your drumming, but will also make you more focused."
"Hmm?" Shiina Riki frowned, sensing the fallacy in Bai Qiu's words.
She looked at her hands; faint red marks remained on the backs of her fair hands.
She looked at Bai Qiu, who was facing her with a teasing smile, and Li Xi felt that her mind really relaxed.
Shiina Riki turned his head, his expression softening, and crossed his arms over his chest.
She felt that Bai Qiu's words made some sense.
“So,” Bai Qiu held up a finger, revealing a relaxing smile, “if you get nervous during the live performance, just recall the pain you're feeling right now, or prepare the lights before the performance…”
"Oh, the lamp might not work."
Since the lamp definitely wouldn't put in much effort, Bai Qiu suggested again, "Let Su Shi or Ai Yin hit you like this. I believe Ai Yin would be very happy to do so, and then you won't be nervous."
How could she possibly show nervousness in front of Aine?
Shiina Riki paused, glancing at Bai Qiu: "Don't talk bad about Tatsumi behind her back."
"Yes." Bai Qiu shrugged, completely unconcerned.
When will he be able to have a guard who will stand firmly by his side?
"But you're really not nervous anymore, right?"
"Um……"
Shiina Tatsuki nodded slightly, though reluctantly.
"That's good." Bai Qiu smiled again, then gave the order to leave, "Go back and rest now."
It's so late, we can't let Lixi stay any longer.
Just as Bai Qiu was waiting for Shiina Ritsuki to leave, Shiina Ritsuki suddenly spoke softly:
"But I'm angry."
Bai Qiu: "?"
Bai Qiu looked up in confusion and met Li Xi's overly serious gaze.
Then he saw Shiina Riki's strong and powerful fingers reaching towards his waist.
"Wait, Lixi, you can't do this." Bai Qiu reacted quickly, grabbing Lixi's fingers and lowering her voice, "I was just trying to help you, you can't repay kindness with enmity."
“No way.” Shiina Tatsuki also lowered her voice and almost immediately retorted, “But I saw you smiling happily.”
Immediately afterwards, Li Xi stretched out her other strong and powerful hand, intending to take revenge on Bai Qiu. When had she ever suffered such a loss?
But she looked relaxed, with an irrepressible smile on her face.
