Chapter 213 Coffee
The next day, in the coffee shop on the second floor of RiNG.
There was no practice scheduled for today, but the entire mygo team still gathered here.
Everyone wore relaxed and happy smiles, naturally because they had passed the first stage of the 'Unconfirmed Riot' demo review.
Although there are no plans to hold a celebration banquet for the time being, we still need to get together and discuss what to do next.
"Thanks, Lixi. It smells great and tastes delicious."
After taking a sip of the hazelnut caramel latte that Li Xi had recommended, Bai Qiu found it quite delicious and couldn't help but ask, "Any other recommendations?"
Amidst the slight bitterness, one can perceive the rich aroma of fruit and caramel.
After drinking too much black tea with Su Shi, it's time to switch to something else occasionally.
As for coffee, you can't go wrong asking Lixi, who works at Ring.
"Yes, we also have charcoal-roasted coffee, and the vanilla latte is also good; they sell very well in the store."
Seeing that her recommendation suited Bai Qiu's taste, Li Xi's tense mood relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Okay, I'll definitely try it next time." Bai Qiu nodded slowly.
“Hmm,” Lixi said, “Drinking too much in one day isn’t good either.”
Watching the two chatting and laughing, exchanging glances, Nagasaki Motoyo pursed her lips and suddenly found the red tea in her hand no longer appealing.
Wow, you're actually this close to Li Xi too?
Mingming Qiu had been drinking the black tea that she recommended before.
"Qiu, would you like to try a mocha?"
Seeing that Bai Qiu was interested in coffee, Gao Songdeng couldn't help but speak up, and even moved the coffee he had ordered in front of Bai Qiu, blinking his eyes expectantly at him.
"Wait, lamp, that's you..."
Shiina Riki subconsciously opened her mouth to make a sound, but then suddenly fell silent.
That's the drink you had.
What if I say it out loud and embarrass Deng?
Moreover, if she were to stop them herself, it would seem as if she harbored a selfish motive—not wanting to see Deng and Bai Qiu getting too close.
Shiina Tatsuki is in a dilemma.
"What's wrong, Riki-chan?"
Gao Songdeng tilted his head and looked at Li Xi with a puzzled expression, his face innocent.
This made Lixi feel even more guilty.
"No, it's okay."
Shiina Riki turned her head slightly awkwardly to look at Aine and Sose, still hoping that the two of them would say something.
However, Chihaya Aine was already used to this kind of situation.
Ai Yin smiled sweetly and adorably at Bai Qiu, saying playfully:
"Would you like to try my strawberry sundae?"
"It's very sweet!"
Nagasaki Motoyo maintained a gentle smile. Although she was a little bothered, she didn't really care. It was only this much...
Shiina Riki's eyes widened involuntarily.
Is she the only one who cares?
Well, if it's Bai Qiu, then sharing a cup with the lamp is fine...
Bai Qiu did not answer.
But I think Aine's smile is quite sweet too.
In addition, although the lamp doesn't have the concern of sharing a cup, he still does.
If I just open the lid and taste a little along the rim of the cup, it should be fine, right?
Just as Bai Qiu was pondering, a waitress with a ponytail and flaxen hair happened to pass by. She remembered that the waitress's name was Yamabuki Saya.
Bai Qiu then asked the other person to get an empty cup before drinking the coffee that was lit by the lamp.
"Thank you, Lantern."
"Ah."
Takamatsu Tō revealed a faint, happy, and satisfied smile.
Seeing this, Shiina Riki felt a sense of relief, but also felt that this was somewhat unfair to the light...
She coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, saying with a serious expression, "Let me talk about the music festival."
"it is good."
"Ah."
"please say."
Everyone quieted down, waiting for Lixi to speak.
Then, Shiina Tatsuki began to explain in detail.
The second stage of the music festival: the rules for online voting.
Currently, a total of 100 bands have been shortlisted. The shortlisted bands upload their music videos to the website, and only the top 30 bands in the online voting can advance to the next round.
The event will last for two weeks.
"So in the next few days, we need to film the music video and upload it. Also, everyone needs to campaign for votes. Each person can cast one vote per day," Shiina Tatsuki summarized.
Except for Le Nai, Bai Qiu and the others nodded to indicate that they understood.
"We need to campaign for votes," Ai Yin couldn't help but smile. "That's something I'm good at."
Once she's amassed a bunch of votes, Qiuqiu will give her a proper compliment.
"Thank you for your hard work, Li Xi," Bai Qiu said with a smile. "Let's decide which song is most suitable for the online voting."
Li Xi nodded and looked at the light, if there were no new songs.
mygo currently only has three original songs: "Haruhi Kage", "Aokata Banzou", and "Boku wa...".
That's a bit too little.
Takamatsu seemed to realize this as well, and took the initiative to say:
"Um, I'll write more lyrics."
"Yes, Lamp, we believe in you," Bai Qiu encouraged.
So it didn't take long before we decided to use "Walking with the Blue Sky" to shoot the music video.
The main reason is that this song better represents the characteristics of mygo; everyone is moving forward while feeling lost.
Bai Qiu clapped his hands symbolically and then continued:
"I'd also like to let everyone know that Fanxing's live performance application has been approved. We just need to wait for the store manager to arrange the time."
"Are you going to perform live at Starry Sky?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lenao, unusually focused, looked up.
She almost fell asleep during Li Xi's long speech.
However, no one cares whether the cat can understand or not.
"Yes." Bai Qiu smiled at Le Nai.
"I'm going," Le Nai said affirmatively, a smile playing on her lips. "Qiuqiu is so nice."
She knew this must be Bai Qiu's doing.
As Le Nai spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of matcha parfait and tried to feed it to Bai Qiu.
Stars?
At this point, Nagasaki Motoyo fell silent for a moment, and her smile faded slightly.
She remembered that Bai Qiu had invited her, but she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.
If she had gone then, she would have been the first one, right?
Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but feel regret and guilt. No wonder her confession failed...
After Bai Qiu and Li Xi finished speaking and there was a few seconds of silence, Chihaya Aine suggested with a smile:
"How about we discuss band team building activities while we're at it?"
"A band team-building activity?" Li Xi was taken aback, raised an eyebrow, and then looked at Ai Yin with a hint of speechlessness. "There's no time for that right now, is there?"
"It's not like we have to go right away."
Ai Yin replied, recalling the temple fair, and couldn't help but nudge at Li Xi and say, "Li Xi and Qiu Qiu even went to the temple fair."
Then everyone looked at Shiina Tatsuki.
"Ha, uh..."
In front of everyone, when Chihaya Aine pointed this out, Shiina Tatsuki's face flushed slightly, and he kept thinking about how to explain himself.
The lamp, in particular, seemed to be looking at her with envy.
What if the light gets the wrong idea?
"Temple fair? Do they have buckwheat noodles and matcha parfaits?"
Lenai seemed to care about the temple fair as well, constantly tugging at Lixi's clothes and asking questions.
Li Xi reluctantly pulled her clothes back, and somewhat guiltily offered her explanation:
"My sister just happened to have something to do and couldn't go, so we went together."
"Bai Qiu, don't you think so?"
"Yes, that's right."
Bai Qiu nodded; that was indeed the case.
Bai Qiu hadn't expected that all he did was go to a temple fair with Li Xi.
Why does it feel like being repeatedly whipped after a corpse?
Indeed, it's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality.
“That’s why I suggested a band team-building activity; we’re a unit.” Chihaya Aine smiled slightly. “What does Soyorin think?”
"That's a good idea. We can discuss it first and go when everyone has free time."
Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded in agreement.
Unbeknownst to them, they had formed a united front with Aine.
Lixi needs to know that sneaking away is wrong.
Bai Qiu looked at Li Xi and explained with a smile:
"Lixi, it's good to relax once in a while."
"We can't just get together when we're practicing. Going out and having fun together can also strengthen the band's cohesion."
"Go out for a walk, and you and Deng might find more inspiration for writing lyrics and composing music."
"Yes, I also want to go and have fun with everyone."
Thinking about the scene of everyone traveling together, Deng couldn't help but smile happily.
"Okay, I understand, I agree."
Seeing that Bai Qiu and Deng both said so, Li Xi couldn't help but purse his lips.
Despite saying that, Li Xi secretly began to look forward to it.
"Yay, hee hee." Ai Yin raised her chin and gave Li Xi a triumphant "V" sign.
Li Xi turned her head away irritably, crossed her arms, and added:
"But before that, we need to shoot the music video first."
"Of course," Bai Qiu said with a smile.
