"You...! You! I'm replacing you as the drummer!"
Already deeply shaken by Souyo's absence, Akari finally broke down in tears upon witnessing Aine and Ritsuki's argument.
Chen felt like the sky was falling the moment he pushed open the door. He'd been searching for Su Shi's address for the past two days, running all over the streets and alleys according to the original world's internet model.
Comparing the photos to the original footage of her house taken by Mygo, we finally managed to find her place.
Discovering the base has exploded on its own feels like the heartbreaking feeling of playing a solo carry when your teammates have already destroyed it with four votes.
Like seeing a lifeline, Deng hugged Chen tightly as he walked in, begging him to save the band.
Chen knew that the consequences of Aine not practicing would eventually erupt.
He just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
He remained silent, and could only place his hand on the head of the lamp, gently comforting her.
What should he do? If he sides with Ai Yin, the band will break up.
If he sides with Riki, his relationship with Aine will be ruined.
An unprecedented dilemma was placed before Chen.
Li Xi righteously criticized Aine's irresponsibility.
As the truth is revealed to Chen, Aine feels increasingly pressured.
She had already learned her lesson from what happened at Fanxing, but she hadn't improved at all. She couldn't imagine how Chen would view her for doing such a thing.
In her confusion, she could only pin her hopes on Chen standing by her side.
That's right, Chen can only stand by her side; Chen is her intended boyfriend! He has to be by her side!
Aine barely managed to maintain her tough stance, issuing accusations that Riki dismissed with disdain, hoping to salvage her losing position.
Faced with the irreconcilable conflict between Li Xi and Ai Yin, Chen, while comforting Deng, made his own choice.

Chapter 49 Disheartened
Who is the backbone of Mygo's operations?
Without a doubt, it's Shiina Tatsuki.
It's fair to say that she was the only one who genuinely wanted the band to continue as a band, rather than turning it into some strange or weird thing.
Therefore, in the original timeline, Aine's avoidance would put pressure on her, and Motoyo's desire to break away from the team would also provoke her opposition.
I'd even pay out of my own pocket to buy matcha parfaits for Lena so she can come practice.
What about the other members of the band?
Ai Yin initially formed the band purely out of vanity and a desire to be in the spotlight.
The initial purpose of inviting the lamp was simply because it was popular in the class, and I wanted to get the surprise and admiration of the students around me.
To say how much she really loves music and playing instruments...
That means there probably aren't many left.
Nagasaki Motoyo needs no introduction; Crychic is her eternal white moonlight. From the moment she agreed to Aine's request, she was thinking of kicking her out and bringing Shoko back.
All she wanted was the company of others; she didn't care about a band or anything like that.
If Aine is angry, you can comfort her; if Suze wants company, you can give her that too.
But if the band's core member falls, then the band is truly finished.
After distinguishing between the primary and secondary contradictions, Chen finally gave his answer. He understood the consequences of siding with Li Xi, but he had no choice but to do so.
"Aine, it's okay, we still have time, we can just practice hard, right?"
As Chen spoke, Aine understood the choice he had made.
Betrayed, attacked...
She ran away.
Yes, once again.
Resentment at being betrayed by Chen filled her heart; she hated Chen for making such a choice.
Why?! Even if she was wrong, why couldn't Chen stand by her side and comfort her?
She knows she was wrong, and once she calms down, she will apologize. She will also work harder on her practice afterwards.
But Chen betrayed her in an unforgivable way.
She just wanted Chen to be on her side, what did she do wrong?!
“Aine!”
With a sob in her voice, Deng chased after him.
She didn't know what to do, but if she let Aine go, the band would definitely... definitely end.
"Light, don't chase that unreasonable person!..."
Li Xi, with her small scar, tried to grab the lamp that was searching for Ai Yin, but after seeing the despair in the lamp's expression, the strength in her hand gradually weakened.
"Hmph, serves her right! With a leader like her, the band will never get any better."
Was it her fault again? She was just trying to do what was best for everyone in the band. If the pink-haired girl issue wasn't resolved, the band would definitely explode.
Miss Lixi believed she had done nothing wrong; she was doing it to prevent a potentially bigger crisis for the band.
"Shiina...."
Chen spoke slowly, causing Li Xi's heart to skip a beat.
How could she forget that Chen is a fan of Pink Hair?! What will happen if he leaves the band because of Pink Hair?!
"What's wrong? Are you going to plead for that pink-haired girl? After all, she defended you so much."
Lixi, arms crossed, forced a smile, bracing herself for the worst possible consequences.
Yes, in her heart, Chen stood firmly by that pink-haired girl's side.
She stared intently at Chen with her beautiful purple eyes, awaiting his answer.
"This time, it was indeed Aine's fault, and I will find a way to make amends."
"what?"
Hearing the unexpected answer, Lixi stared at the boy in front of her in disbelief.
"Could you please wait for me here? I'll give you an explanation, no matter what. I'll bring the lamp back too."
"Humph"
Almost imperceptibly, Li Xi nodded.
Where's the cat? The cat's eating melon seeds.
Like a headless fly, the lamp searched futilely for the sound of love in its surroundings.
When Chen found her, her face was already covered in tears.
Upon seeing Chen, Deng rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Aine! Aine!...I can't find her."
"It's okay, Deng. I'll take you back to find Lixi first. Trust me, I'll bring Aiyin back, okay?"
Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning the nearly broken lamp to Lixi's hands.
He sent message after message asking Aine's location.
Feeling wronged, confused, and angry filled Aine's heart.
After a fierce internal struggle, she decided to send her location to Chen.
If Chen doesn't give her an explanation, an answer, then she...
Cancel Chen's status as her pre-booked boyfriend!
Without realizing it, Ai Yin had run to the spot where Chen had caught up with Fanxing.
Moved by the scene, she felt increasingly aggrieved.
Chen made that promise to her here before! But this time, this time!
At the place where Aine first ran away and was caught by Chen, Chen finally found the pink-haired girl.
Upon seeing Chen's figure, she took heavy steps towards the panting Chen.
"Chen! The band was clearly formed by the two of us, why are you siding with that outsider!"
Feeling betrayed, she was now alone with Chen and unable to control her anger.
She forced Chen to look her in the eye, not allowing him to give any ambiguous answers.
"Aine... just practice more, Shiina didn't actually want you to leave the band."
Chen's attempts to comfort Miss Aine had the opposite effect.
"I don't want to hear that woman's name! Why did Chen side with Li Xi just now?! Does she mean she's more important to Chen than me?!"
Unable to stop herself from talking, she knew she was being unreasonable, but there was no turning back.
"Besides, Chen is also partly to blame, isn't he?! Why did he agree to Li Xi's idea of holding a live concert in the first place? If Chen hadn't agreed, things wouldn't be like this now, right?!"
Ai Yin nowadays can be described as being completely unreasonable and argumentative.
In Chen's eyes, Aine couldn't accept her mistakes and showed no remorse; she was just forcing him to side with her.
Exhaustion and bitterness enveloped Chen deeply.
Is it his fault again...?
Was it because of what happened in the Starry Night that he didn't make Aine properly realize her mistake?
It was precisely because he tolerated everything about her that Ai Yin, feeling supported by him, started arguing with Li Xi and even suggested changing the drummer.
He knew there was no point in reasoning with Aine now.
"Yes, it's my fault. I'm sorry, Aine."
With a long sigh, Chen was powerless to offer any further advice; he resigned himself to fate.
"Either she quits, or I quit. There's no other way!"
Ai Yin pressed on with Chen Chengsheng, who had compromised, saying she was determined to win him over to her side.
She didn't really care about the band or anything like that; all she wanted was Chen's attitude and answer.
After a long silence, Chen finally gave the answer she had been waiting for, and her heart leaped with joy.
He kept his head down and spoke in a stiff tone.
"Okay, I'll quit with Aine."
Then she turned around and walked towards a place she didn't know.
She was overjoyed and wanted to grab Chen and tell him how she felt.
Chen used the excuse that he needed to go to work to evade what Miss Aine was about to say.
She was indulging in a false victory.
RING
Chen weakly pushed open the rehearsal room door, feigning a hopeful expression, and tried to deceive the lamp...
