Chen Zhidao knew it was too late, and he had no right to stop Xiangzi; things had gotten serious.

Chapter 48 The Lighting of the Fuse
Watching Su Shi run out crying, Chen knew that it was all too late.
Was it Xiangzi's fault? No, she was just a little too harsh in her words.
If Chen were to encounter such an unreasonable person, his actions and words would only make things worse.
However, for Mygo, Pandora's box had been opened.
Because of the presence of the lights, every member of Mygo is irreplaceable.
Although the members are currently extremely incompatible, the band is still able to hold events.
Like that classic programmer joke, don't worry about why the code runs; if it runs, don't touch it.
Now, with the absence of Motoyo Nagasaki, Mygo's collapse was already foreseeable.
Seeing Chen's terrible expression, Xiangzi suddenly remembered what Chen had just said: Su Shi was his and Miss Ai Yin's bandmate.
Her face turned pale instantly.
If she was caught by Nagasaki Motoyo at the school gate, or right after finishing her customer service work, without Chen's involvement, it wouldn't be too difficult to appease Nagasaki Motoyo afterwards.
However, Nagasaki Motoyo's astonishing patience led her to discover Chen Hexiangzi's relationship.
Given Xiangzi's ruthless behavior just now, Chen's desire to bring Nagasaki Motoyo back is likely futile.
And the light was also in the band... I wonder what kind of chain reaction her actions will cause.
Chen, expressionless, stood there for a moment before closing the door that had been opened.
He waved his hand, sighed, and walked into the room.
at night
As always, Xiangzi grabbed Chen's left hand, staring intently at the boy in front of her, hoping he would at least utter a word or two of reproach.
But all she received in return was Chen's reassurance.
"It's alright, it's not your fault, Xiangzi. You only said those things to Nagasaki Motoyo because of me. I'm so happy that you care about me so much."
Chen's comforting words felt like an ice cave to her. Chen knew that blaming Xiangzi wouldn't solve anything and would only make one more person hurt.
Instead, focus your energy on figuring out how to solve the problem.
That night, Chen pondered how to save the band.
He tossed and turned, barely getting any rest.
Xiangzi, caught up in his partner's worries, completely lost his sleepiness.
Many people already know about her family situation. What would happen if she told Nagasaki Motoyo? Wouldn't that be a better way to shut her up and make her back down?
But she completely chose the worst possible way to solve this problem.
Xiangzi reflected on his actions, but it was too late to change anything.
Chen, who hadn't slept much all night, had a splitting headache. He got up very early and looked at the sky filled with dark clouds.
His unease grew stronger; his powerful sixth sense warned him that something terrible was about to happen.
He had to act quickly, but today, he needed to go to Ring.
We should at least use the process of elimination to find out Nagasaki Motoyo's whereabouts.
Xiangzi also got up, following his movement. As the one who started it all, she wanted to comfort Chen, but didn't know where to begin.
Silently, she tidied their bed and folded the blankets.
After she finished preparing breakfast and lunchboxes, she looked at Chen, who was forcing a smile, trying to comfort her.
Dark circles have already begun to appear on his face.
The guilt was becoming unbearable for her.
The two remained silent, unsure of what to say. After completing their daily tasks, they quietly headed towards Yugaoka.
During his day at school, Chen tried his best to maintain his usual demeanor, as drowsiness was already creeping into his mind.
However, Chen, still pondering a way to break the deadlock, couldn't find peace of mind to rest.
Only one mile away, they noticed Chen's unusual behavior and sent him a message on his phone asking about it.
To avoid worrying his girlfriend, he could only reply that everything was fine. After all, even if Boqi knew, it wouldn't help the current situation.
After lunch, Chen also temporarily refused Boqi's request to spend time alone with him.
He couldn't let his guard down. Once Chen started thinking about giving up, there would truly be no way to salvage the situation.
He would definitely soften in front of someone who knows everything.
Chen had this self-awareness
After arriving at Ring with Aine and Akari, unsurprisingly, Nagasaki Motoyo did not come.
The cat was already eating a matcha parfait and waiting for them. She happily approached Chen and, taking the initiative, raised Chen's left hand and rubbed her white hair against his palm.
The cat didn't hold back her affection for this interesting man, who had even booked her a month's worth of matcha parfaits.
The cat is so cute! Although it didn't help with the current situation, it at least improved Chen's mood a little.
Everyone was present except for Motoyo Nagasaki.
After waiting for a while, Miss Lixi finally couldn't help but ask everyone a question.
"Didn't you see Su Shi?"
Seeing that everyone gave a negative answer, Li Xi was baffled by Su Shi's unexpected absence.
She has already sent an inquiry message to Su Shi.
But like a stone thrown into the sea, there was no response.
Suppressing his initial unease, Lixi assured everyone that the new version of the score was ready.
They were then distributed and everyone began practicing.
"Hey, but Su Shi isn't here. Shouldn't we wait for her to come before we practice?"
Aine raised an objection from one side.
With one member missing, rehearsals haven't been going very well.
But the only missing element is bass, which doesn't seem to matter.

Aine raised her objection for only one reason, and it had nothing to do with Nagasaki Motoyo's absence.
Yes, she still hasn't started her practice.
She hadn't expected Lixi to be so efficient. Revising the sheet music should have taken at least a week!
Unprepared, she could only avoid practicing.
Her reasons were quite valid, but Miss Lixi was beginning to doubt the pink-haired girl.
Why does she always try to avoid or postpone practice whenever it's mentioned?
To this day, he has never even plucked a string in front of anyone.
But Su Shi was indeed absent today, and she couldn't raise any objections, so she could only silently nod and agree with Aine's statement.
After everyone else had left, she stayed alone in the practice room, playing her own drums, trying to calm herself down.
The heart, which would usually be calmed by the drumming, was now pounding unusually, as if foreshadowing something to come.
Chen did not come on Thursday.
Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't there either; the huge practice room was only filled with lights, Aine, Neko, and Riki.
Using the same excuse, Aine skipped practice.
Lixi's doubts and anxieties grew stronger. It was already the end of the first week, but they hadn't made any progress.
If this continues, what will they do for their future performances?
Deng's unease grew daily. She didn't know what had happened to Su Shi, and she was also unable to contact Su Shi.
She felt that the band seemed to be...
On Friday, after Miss Liang helped Chen change his dressing, he rushed to Ring without stopping.
Pushing open the practice room door, it seemed that everything was already too late.
Like an inevitable event, no matter how hard he tries, he can't manage everything.
Before he arrived, Lixi, unable to bear the waste of each day, questioned Aine, who had been avoiding practice.
This time, she didn't use the excuse of incomplete membership to brush it off.
"Why do you always make excuses every time I say we need to practice?! You know we're going to have a live performance, right?! If we don't practice now, we won't have any more time!"
But Su Shi is not here after all.
"That's no excuse! Just because she's not here doesn't mean we can't practice our parts! Or are you just pretending and can't actually play the guitar?!"
"Who, who said that! I was a guitarist who performed on stage in junior high! How could I not know how to play the guitar?!"
"Then you can play the music according to the score I gave you!"
Aine, who was on the verge of death, had nowhere left to retreat.
Miss Lixi walked over to Aiyin and pointed to a note on her sheet music.
"Tell me, how do I press this on the guitar?"
Aine could only haphazardly adopt the postures of the chords she had learned before.
Seeing this, Li Xi sneered.
"Ha, looks like you really don't know anything. You can't even read sheet music?! With your abilities, what excuse do you have for skipping practice?! Do you even care about this band?!"
"You've been using Su Shi's absence as a shield every day, but now it seems it was just to cover up your own problems!"
Her cold and blunt words left Aine, who had no reason to refute her, with no choice but to dredge up old grievances.
"You...you! Do you even remember your promise?! You're not allowed to use technical issues to pressure others!"
"Ha, I'm just stating the facts. Can't you even accept the facts, you coward?!"
Li Xi's face turned red. How could this stinky pink-haired girl be so stubborn even though she's done something wrong?! Wasn't it her doing something wrong?!
If she can't do it, she can't. Just practice properly! Why does she keep making excuses? What does she take the rest of the band for?!
With poor skills and a bad attitude, how can a band possibly succeed under a leader like that?!
In contrast, Miss Lixi felt that Chen was worlds apart from this stinky pink-haired girl.
"Chen knew he was a newbie, and he explained it to everyone properly. I didn't say anything more to him after that, did I?"
"He's temporarily unable to practice because of his injury, and what about you, Chihaya Aine? What excuse do you have?! Don't you think your behavior is despicable?!"
"What's more, he's already found a substitute player in case he really can't play and drags everyone down. And you? Have you found a substitute player too?!"
Aine clenched her fists tightly, and a trace of blood had already appeared on her lower lip from the force of her teeth.
Li Xi's words, "coward," completely broke down Aine's defenses.
The moment Chen pushed the door open and entered, she erupted.
