Before Chen Xiao could answer, she began to play and sing, performing Chen Xiao's version of "Quiet." Sunlight streamed through the corridor window, illuminating her focused profile, and the strings flowed with a clear melody from her fingertips.
Chen Xiao leaned against the wall, arms crossed, listening intently. Le Nai's technique was indeed impressive; her rhythm and pitch were excellent, but…
"Stop for a moment." Chen Xiao suddenly spoke up and walked to her side. "The trill in the third measure can be handled like this." He took the guitar, and his fingers gently plucked the strings, adding a touch of deep emotion to the same melody.
Lena's eyes widened: "So that's how it is!"
“And the chords here.” Chen Xiao placed his hand on the back of her hand and adjusted her fingering. “Lower your thumb a little and press the strings with your fingertips. The sound will be cleaner.”
Le Nai's cheeks flushed slightly, but her attention was quickly drawn to Chen Xiao's professional guidance. In just a few minutes of instruction, her playing improved significantly.
"That's amazing..." she murmured, looking at Chen Xiao with admiration. "You're even more amazing than you look in the videos!"
Chen Xiao handed the guitar back to her, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Interested in joining MyGO? We have a new guitarist who needs guidance."
Rakuna's eyes lit up instantly: "It's Chihaya Aine, right? I've seen her videos!" She jumped up and down excitedly, "I'm willing! I've always wanted to volunteer!"
"Then it's settled." Chen Xiao casually ruffled her hair. "Two guitarists will create a better effect on stage."
In the music room of Yuqiu Academy, the members of MyGO!!!!! are practicing on their own. Aine stares at the sheet music with a troubled expression, playing the wrong chord again.
"Ugh—I messed it up again!" She frantically ruffled her long pink hair. "This solo is so hard!"
Takamatsu gently patted her shoulder: "Aine... take your time..."
Shiina Tatsuki stopped playing her drumsticks and sighed, "The performance is on Saturday. You'll drag us down if you go on stage like this."
"I know!" Ai Yin pouted, feeling wronged. "Why isn't Brother Xiao here yet..."
Just then, the classroom door was pushed open. Chen Xiao walked in, followed by a petite figure.
"Everyone, let me introduce our new member." Chen Xiao stepped aside to let Yao Le Nai step forward. "Yao Le Nai, guitarist, is joining MyGO starting today!!!!!
The classroom was silent. Ai Yin's eyes widened, and the pick in her hand fell to the ground.
"A new, new member?!" Her voice suddenly rose, "Brother Xiao, what's going on?"
Rakuna bowed nervously, "Hello everyone! I'm Rakuna, a third-year junior high school student! Nice to meet you!" She looked up at Aine, "Especially Chihaya-senpai, I really like your style!"
Aine was stunned: "You...you like my style? But I'm still a newbie..."
"That's precisely what makes it so captivating!" Lena exclaimed excitedly. "That feeling of constantly pushing one's own limits is the very spirit of rock and roll!"
Chen Xiao nodded approvingly: "Le Nai will help Ai Yin practice, and they can play a duet of two guitars for Saturday's performance."
Nagasaki Sase walked over with a smile: "Welcome to the team, Rakuna-chan. I'm bassist Nagasaki Sase."
Riki raised an eyebrow: "Shiina Riki, drummer. Since Chen Xiao approves of you, why don't you give it a try?"
Takamatsu waved timidly: "I...I'm the lead singer...Takamatsu Takamatsu..."
Ai Yin looked at Le Nai, then at Chen Xiao, and suddenly rushed over to hug Chen Xiao's arm: "Brother Xiao! Did you find a new person because you think I play badly?!"
Chen Xiao pinched her cheek helplessly: "I did it to make the performance more perfect. And..." He lowered his voice, "Didn't you always complain that practicing was too tiring? Now someone is sharing the burden."
Aine pouted, but quickly smiled again: "Okay! Then, Rakuna-chan, nice to meet you!"
Lena nodded happily and immediately took out her guitar: "Aine-senpai, shall we start practicing together now? I know which part you're stuck on!"
Watching the two guitarists quickly get into practice, Chen Xiao walked to the piano with satisfaction. The lamp quietly followed.
"Brother Chen Xiao..." she whispered, "Is the new song... finished?"
Chen Xiao took out a sheet of music from his bag: "Tears of the Stars, written specifically for this concert." He turned to the first page, "Come on, I'll teach you the main melody."
Deng intently studied the sheet music, softly humming along to Chen Xiao's piano playing. Her clear, ethereal voice blended perfectly with the piano, gradually attracting the attention of others. Even Ai Yin and Le Nai, who were engaged in a heated discussion, stopped talking and became immersed in the beautiful melody.
"It's so beautiful..." Shuangshi exclaimed softly.
A hint of amazement flashed in Li Xi's eyes: "This guy... is indeed not simple."
After the rehearsal, the afterglow of the setting sun streamed in through the windows of the music classroom, bathing the entire room in a warm orange-red hue.
The members were packing up their instruments, chatting and laughing as they discussed the results of their practice that day.
"Brother Xiao, I still don't quite understand today's guitar solo..." Yao Le Nai suddenly moved closer to Chen Xiao, her short silver-black hair swaying gently with her movements, her amber eyes sparkling with expectation, "Could...could you give me some individual guidance?"
She lowered her head slightly, a blush rising on her cheeks. "It's...it's at my house...my parents aren't home tonight..."
Chen Xiaojiao gave a playful smile: "Oh? Individual guidance?"
Chihaya Aine, standing nearby, immediately cast a mischievous glance at her: "Wow~ Rakuna-chan is so bold~"
"N-No, that's not it!" Kaoru's face flushed red instantly, and she waved her hands frantically. "I just wanted to practice properly!"
Shiina Tatsuki snorted and crossed his arms: "Tsk, another one who walked right into the trap."
Nagasaki Sase smiled gently and said, "Good luck."
Takamatsu Akira quietly tidied up the bass.
"Then it's settled." Chen Xiao naturally put his arm around Yao Le Nai's shoulder. "I'll go and give you some 'proper' guidance."
Yoro's room was tidier than I had imagined. The walls were covered with band posters, and various music magazines and sheet music were neatly arranged on the desk.
A pink electric guitar leans against the bedside, looking like it's used often.
"Would you like something to drink?" Kaoru asked nervously. "Juice... or tea..."
Chen Xiao didn't answer, but walked straight to the electric guitar and casually plucked the strings a few times: "Good pitch."
Kaoru stood awkwardly to the side, "Um... guidance..."
Chen Xiao put down his guitar, turned to face her, and said, "Come here."
Those two simple words made Yao Le Nai involuntarily take a step forward. When she got close enough, Chen Xiao suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Xiao, Brother Xiao?!" Yao Le Nai looked up in a panic, only to be met with Chen Xiao's handsome face so close to hers.
Chen Xiao's voice was deep and gentle, "Every time I see you practicing so earnestly, it's so touching."
Lenai's mind went completely blank for a moment, her heart pounding: "I...I..."
“I like you, Lena.” Chen Xiao gently stroked her short hair. “Not just as a musician… but also as a girl.”
Kaname's voice was barely audible, "Aine and the others..."
"Shh..." Chen Xiao pressed his thumb to her lips, "You're only thinking about me right now."
His kiss landed gently yet firmly, shattering Le Nai's last resistance. As Chen Xiao gently laid her down on the bed, the last rays of the setting sun shone on them both.
In the dead of night, Le Nai curled up in Chen Xiao's arms, her face still flushed.
"How was it?" Chen Xiao chuckled, stroking her smooth back. "Are you satisfied with my 'guidance'?"
Lena punched him in embarrassment and annoyance: "You jerk... what kind of guidance is this...?"
“This is the most private one-on-one tutoring,” Chen Xiao said with a mischievous grin, leaning close to her ear. “Want to learn more?”
Lena blushed and turned her head away, saying, "...Whatever."
[Ding! Host has successfully won over the key character, Kaname!]
[Unlock New Ability: Crazy Rocking!]
[Reward: Band synergy increased by 200%! Original rock music has a wildly captivating effect!]
The system notification sounded in his mind, and Chen Xiao looked at the shy girl in his arms with satisfaction. The bond between MyGO!!!!! had deepened once again.
Chen Xiao only started interacting with the band members to make the band more united.
Chapter 116 Getting Hachiman Kairin Pregnant, Spreading Discord Between Ave Mujica
The stage lights were dazzling, and the venue for the Soubu High School's school festival concert was packed.
Cheers and screams rose and fell, and the air was filled with the restless energy of youth.
MyGO!!!!!'s performance brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Chen Xiao stood in the center of the stage, under the spotlight, he looked like a god descending to earth.
His long, slender fingers lightly touched the microphone, and his deep, magnetic voice resonated throughout the venue:
"Tonight, let us fall together into the abyss of music—"
The screams from the audience almost lifted the roof off.
Yawata Kairin stood in the center of the crowd, her short black hair swaying gently to the rhythm.
As Shiina Tatsuki's friend and fellow music enthusiast, she originally came just to support him, but she was completely captivated by the dazzling young man on stage.
“Lixi…your captain…” Hailing murmured to herself, subconsciously placing her hand on her heart, feeling it pounding wildly. “I understand now why the band was able to be reformed…”
Her heart raced with every move Chen Xiao made.
When Chen Xiao played his guitar solo, sweat slid down his neck, glistening alluringly under the spotlight; when he interacted with Yao Lenai, the tacit exchange of glances between the two made Hai Ling feel a pang of sadness.
"What's wrong with me...? Why do I feel so uncomfortable watching Chen Xiao's concert?" Hai Ling pressed her chest in confusion, unable to look away.
Of course, apart from Hachiman Kairin, all the other girls present were no exception; this was due to Chen Xiao's succubus system and his irresistible charm.
In the shadows at the far edge of the venue, a girl in a kimono stood quietly.
Ryougi Shiki looked at Chen Xiao with a silent gaze, feeling that this man possessed a captivating quality.
On the stage, Chen Xiao seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look in Ryougi Shiki's direction. Their gazes met in the air, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Heh..." Chen Xiao's lips curled slightly as he spoke into the microphone, "The next song is dedicated to a special audience member..."
The music suddenly changed, with the intro featuring a melody full of Japanese charm. This was a song that Chen Xiao changed on the spot, an original song that blends tradition and modernity.
Ryougi Shiki's eyes widened slightly, clearly not expecting this turn of events. Meanwhile, Hailing, sitting in the audience, bit her lower lip, a strange sense of loss welling up inside her—who was that "special audience member"?
The system notification sounded in his mind, but Chen Xiao was completely immersed in the performance. His singing became more and more affectionate, but his eyes remained fixed on Ryougi Shiki.
Kaname seemed to sense something, and her guitar playing paused slightly. Shiina Tatsuki glanced at her sharply, and the drumbeats became even more intense, as if venting some kind of emotion.
The performance ended amidst the audience's wild cheers. During the curtain call, Chen Xiao's gaze swept across the audience—Hai Ling hurriedly lowered her head, and Ryougi Shiki was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Xiao!" Yao Le Nai was the first to throw herself into Chen Xiao's arms. "We did it!"
The other members gathered around, chattering about the performance details. Only Shiina Ritsuki looked thoughtfully in the direction of her friend, Kairin, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Chen Xiao,” Li Xi suddenly spoke up, “Hai Ling seems to have something to say to you.”
Chen Xiao followed her gaze and met Hachiman Kairin's flustered and evasive eyes.
