She really didn't want to answer, but Amamiya Ren said that the band would not be able to continue unless these issues were resolved.

"I'll compose the music."

She squeezed out these words from between her teeth, but this was not the answer Amamiya Ren wanted to hear: "Why aren't you confident?"

He repeated the question again.

This attitude of getting to the bottom of the matter made Li Xi not resist Amamiya Ren angrily, but turn around and try to escape.

But she couldn't run away, as Amamiya Ren grabbed her wrist.

Her wrist was grabbed tightly. She wanted to escape back to the kitchen, but Amamiya Ren held her wrist tightly and she couldn't run back.

You can't run away. You can't run away at all.

Amamiya Ren stripped off all the protection on Li Xi's body. His rough action made Li Xi resist: "I already said I'm the one composing the music, why are you asking so many questions!"

she cried.

It was the first time that Amemiya Ren saw her cry. Her ugly face from the past was no longer visible. Now, only her weak side could be seen.

She was still being stubborn, this was her last bit of stubbornness, she didn't want to let Amemiya see the last bit of herself which caused her to escape.

But she couldn't escape, she couldn't run away. Amamiya Ren's persistence made it impossible for her to leave.

So she exploded, she resisted, she turned around and slapped Amemiya while yelling.

Snapped!

The sound was so clear that Hai Ling, who had just walked in from outside, was startled.

She just came to RiNG as a temporary worker as usual, thinking that she would have a drink before the performance and visit Li Xi, but she didn't expect to see this scene.

Why is Lian here? Why is he holding Li Xi's hand? Why did Li Xi slap him? Why is Li Xi crying?

There were so many questions that Hai Ling couldn't understand some of them. She just stood at the door alone, looking at Li Xi who had completely softened after the slap.

"Why...why do you ask so many questions..."

Lixi couldn't help but squat down, and she let her left wrist continue to be held tightly by Amamiya Ren.

Even after being hit, Amamiya Ren did not let go of her hands.

"Because you're running away."

Yu Gong reached out to adjust his glasses; his glasses were crooked because of the slap he received from his father Ling Qi and Yin Yin.

As for the redness and swelling on his face? It did hurt, but he didn't care much about it.

"You can't run away."

"But I want to escape...let me go..."

"Then tell me the reason, and I'll let you go."

How does the old saying go? A good girl is afraid of a clinging man. Amamiya Ren clings to him so tightly because she wants to pull out all the thorns from Li Xi's body one by one.

Only in this way can Li Xi face himself and become an excellent leader.

Otherwise, she has weaknesses and when problems arise, she will just become the second Xiangzi.

"I...I don't think I deserve it."

She finally told the reason, she was not qualified to compose music, nor was she qualified to be the one making decisions.

The inferiority complex and feeling of inferiority in her heart filled her whole body, so when Amamiya Ren brought this up, she could no longer calm down.

"Not worthy of composing music? This is the first time I've heard such a statement. Is there anyone who is not worthy of doing such a thing?"

“But I’m just not as good as them.”

"Not as good as who? Who are they?"

Amemiya clearly said that she would let her go if she told her the reason, but now she was still holding her hand tightly. She wanted Lixi to tell her everything.

As I said, if you don’t vent your emotions, they will always pile up in your heart.

But Lixi was obviously confused now. She was panicking and she didn't know what to do.

She could only squat here, hiding in her shell like a little turtle to protect herself.

"Lian, that's enough."

At this time, Hai Ling came over and grabbed Amamiya Ren's wrist, hoping that he would let go: "Li Xi can't hold on any longer."

"And it will continue like this?"

Amemiya Ren turned his head to look at Hai Ling. He and Hai Ling looked at each other, and he looked at Hai Ling's expression.

She was not happy, which was a rare negative emotion that Amamiya Ren could see on Hai Ling's face.

"Lian, you are a little too high-handed."

This was not a light statement, but she was not wrong either.

Amamiya Ren is indeed a bit arrogant.

"You are like a stubborn middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, forcing her to listen to you, thinking that you are doing her good but hurting her all the time. You don't understand her at all, you just keep talking about big principles, which only hurts her."

"You think I'm hurting her?"

"she cried."

Hai Ling didn't know what had happened between Amamiya Ren and Li Xi, but she knew their personalities, knew what Li Xi was afraid of, and knew that Amamiya Ren usually didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but once she started to meddle, she would do it to the end.

These two people are not smooth at all. Li Xi has a straightforward character, and Amemiya also has a straightforward character. When the two of them meet, they will only clash head-on, and one of them will definitely be stabbed and bleed.

This is the situation now. Li Xi has been pushed to the extreme by Amamiya Ren, and she even slapped him in the face, which is something Li Xi would never do under normal circumstances.

So she felt that the two of them needed to slow down, as there would be no good results if they continued like this.

"Let go, Lian."

Hai Ling's words made Amamiya Ren fall into silence. He let go of her hand and watched Li Xi run back to the kitchen alone.

Rinrinko only dared to come over at this time. The atmosphere between the two of them was so tense that she didn't know how to interrupt. She could only watch what happened between them.

"Alian, apply it first."

What she brought was a homemade ice pack. Ice cubes are very common in coffee shops. After wrapping it in cloth, it can become a small ice pack.

Amamiya Ren's face was already red and swollen from the slap. The drummer's hands were very strong, so of course his face was swollen.

After taking the ice pack, Amamiya Ren thanked her and sat back in her seat.

Hai Ling also sat nearby, watching Amamiya Ren applying facial mask.

"Are you calm now?"

"better."

Just now, not only Li Xi was upset, but Amamiya Ren was also upset.

Perhaps Hai Ling was not wrong. Amamiya Ren was just a middle-aged man who insisted on saying "this is for your own good" and said it directly and forcefully without considering other people's feelings.

As people get older and gain more experience, they want to express their opinions on what others do. However, because they consider themselves to be "elders", their attitude will become more rigid, thus ignoring the fact that different things cannot be viewed with the same mindset, which leads to an inability to resonate with younger generations and conflicts.

Hai Ling knew that Yu Gong was doing this for Li Xi's own good, and he also wanted to help Li Xi get rid of her inferiority complex. But it was not that simple, and such a direct approach would only make her collapse. She was unwilling to tell Yu Gong about herself, and nothing good would happen if she continued to pester him.

"I at least know a little about Li Xi's affairs. You can listen to me and then consider what to do."

Hai Ling watched Amamiya Ren regain her composure before continuing to talk about Li Xi.

She didn't hate Amamiya Ren's personality, she just felt that his approach was inappropriate and that he needed to slow down a bit instead of being so abrupt.

Yu Gong could have just stood by and watched coldly, doing nothing. After all, what did Li Xi's matter have to do with him? But he still took action.

This is what Hai Ling envied. Sometimes he didn't know how to express his kindness properly, and was misunderstood, denied, and rejected by others, but he still held on to the heart of being willing to help others. It's a pity that he often does this. His original intention was good, but his approach was wrong. He was like this, and so was Li Xi.

Really like ah.

Hai Ling couldn't help but think in her heart.

She gently explained the reason for Li Xi's inferiority complex, it was all because of her sister Maki.

Maki is a genius, a real genius, to the extent that Hailing would even take the initiative to praise her.

As Maki's younger sister, Riki is not a genius but a mediocre one compared to Maki.

There is no need to say more about the rest. Under the brilliance of the genius, the 'mediocrity' will only become the 'genius's sister' in the mouths of others. If they do well, people will only say 'it's Maki's sister who does a good job, so it's only natural'. If they do not do well, they will be blamed 'why did Maki's sister do such a bad job'.

Maki, Maki, Maki, all she heard was Maki. No one talked about her, and everyone was comparing her to Maki. This attitude gradually made her collapse, and her sense of inferiority became more and more obvious.

She hated herself, she loathed herself, she hated herself. Why was she so stupid? Why was she so much worse than her sister?

So she has been putting pressure on herself and trying to catch up with her sister, but how can the sweat of a mediocre person keep up with the inspiration of a genius? What Maki can finish in an hour may take Li Xi a whole day. No matter how hard she tries, she can't catch up with her sister. This is an unchangeable fact, which makes her inferiority complex more obvious.

Her toughness was just a layer of thorny shell, and inside she was extremely weak. Yu Gong broke open the shell and saw the weakness inside, but the thorns of the shell also pierced his palm.

Chapter 29 Ghost

Lixi was lying on the table alone, she was in a daze at the moment.

It was still early before class started, so she had plenty of time to be dazed.

She didn't want to recall what happened yesterday, and she fell into a rare state of silence.

"Lixi."

At this time, Hai Ling walked up to her and saw that she was in a daze.

Noticing Hai Ling coming over, Li Xi turned her head away. She didn't want to see Hai Ling. At this moment, she just wanted to be alone and calm down.

The look Hai Ling saw on her yesterday made her afraid to look at her, so she rarely did so and stayed here alone.

"Lian said he won't go to RiNG today."

As Hai Ling spoke, she placed a box of milk jelly on Li Xi's head, but Li Xi did not respond at all and continued to pretend to be dead.

Hai Ling was not in a hurry. She just took out a piece of paper and put it on Li Xi's desk: "This is for you."

"I do not want."

Lixi spoke, like a willful little girl who wanted nothing as soon as she opened her mouth.

But after all, she didn't have a conflict with Hai Ling, but with Amamiya, so she just said no coldly instead of running away.

"You haven't even seen what it is yet and you're saying you don't want it?"

“I don’t think it’s what I want.”

Lixi continued to lie down with her face facing the wall. She was deliberately avoiding looking at Hailing, and Hailing would not run to the other side to make her stare at her forcefully.

"lyrics."

"what?"

Receiving an unexpected gift made Lixi raise her head involuntarily, and then she looked at Hailing.

"A set of lyrics, waiting for you to compose a song for it."

Hai Ling explained it a little more clearly at this time. Li Xi picked up the paper and looked at the lyrics on it.

As soon as she saw it, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

'I never meant to hurt anyone, and I'm sorry for everything.'

'But my inferiority complex outweighed all those who loved me, so I killed them all.'

'But your sadness outweighed all the love for you, so you killed me.'

'For what are you bleeding, for whom are you shedding tears?'

'I hid in the night and made fun of the black because no one could kill the ghost.'

The lyrics are very short. In Lixi's opinion, if they were to be sung, it might take a minute, no, even less than half a minute.

But it was obvious that this was not a fast song, but in these few short lines, she couldn't help but be stunned.
