Thinking of this, Mu suddenly spoke up, interrupting the rhythm of Li Xi's drumming that was about to begin: "Le Nai... If I could find something that makes me happy playing guitar... would that be my goal?"

A sudden sentence made the entire rehearsal room quiet.

Lenai's eyes left the guitar and rested on Mu, the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Interesting girl."

"Eh?" Le Nai's inexplicable words made Mu a little confused. She turned her eyes to Li Xi for help.

Li Xi saw this and smiled slightly: "Mu, what you said about the wild cat is correct."

"Is that so..." Mu hugged his guitar tightly, the corners of his mouth raised, "That's good."

Xiangzi, who had been sitting there, was a little troubled: "Mu, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Because... Lenai said she played guitar to make herself happy..." Mu lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But when I was playing Crychic and AveMujica, I didn't feel happy..."

"Uh..." Xiangzi pulled the corner of his mouth. He had recruited Mu into these two bands. Now Mu said that neither of these bands had ever been happy, and a sense of shame arose. "Well, then, how does Mu think playing guitar can make you happy?"

How can I be happy?

Mu tilted her head slightly, with some confusion in her eyes, but when her eyes fell on Aine, it seemed that everything had an answer.

Practicing guitar with Aine-chan... It's so relaxing, so happy, so satisfying...

So... the purpose of my playing guitar is to make myself happy when I play guitar with Aine-chan?

As if he had gotten the answer in his heart, Mu withdrew his gaze from Aine: "When I am with Aine-chan, whether it is playing guitar or planting cucumbers, I feel very happy..."

Chapter 192 Rikki, Don’t Be So Greedy

Mu's light words once again made the rehearsal room quiet.

Li Xi stared at Mu in a daze. What did Mu mean by this? Didn't she know that Su Shi and that guy were a couple? Huh? Was this considered a sign of stealing?

Thinking of this, Li Xi suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Shi, but the latter had a smiling expression on his face... Li Xi did not find any negative emotion on Su Shi's face, but rather, some relief?

Li Xi withdrew her gaze from Su Shi and looked at her drum head with some suspicion. Am I overthinking this? Maybe... Mu just wanted to express that being with that guy is quite relaxing? Well... I think so too.

After being glad that she had thought too much, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but then her pretty face turned slightly red. Why did she come up with such a thing in her mind!

Deng, who was holding the microphone, lowered his head weakly after hearing Mu's tactful yet bold words.

Is Xiaomu expressing his feelings? When will I ever have the courage to speak directly?

But... does Xiaomu also have special feelings for Aine-chan...

The hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly. They were hugging each other just now... Could it be that Xiaomu and Aine-chan have a very close relationship?

Should I be braver?

Aiyin, sitting next to him, blinked in confusion at Mu's gentle gaze. Then she turned her head to look at Xiangzi. "No, is it really just like what Sakki said? Mumu really has his sights set on me?"

Xiangzi, who was standing next to her, smiled knowingly after noticing Aine's gaze, and whispered in Aine's ear, "Right?"

“Aine?” Le Na was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, “The target…”

"I don't know... if it's the goal..." Mu lowered his head, "But... Aine-chan and I are very happy together."

The whole afternoon passed in Mu's doubts and rehearsals. Of course, Mu still didn't play a song that satisfied him.

"Let's stop here for today's rehearsal." Li Xi put away the drumsticks and looked at Aine. "Aine, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"Huh? Oh." Aine nodded and followed Riki to the cafe.

This time, after ordering a cup of coffee for Aine and himself, Li Xi paid in advance.

Picking up the cup in front of her, Aine took a sip of coffee: "Rikki, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that before. You clearly have this... yet, you still managed to rehearse so well." Li Xi turned his head away. "It's amazing."

"puff."

Looking at the awkward Rikki, Aine couldn't help laughing. She waved her hand gently: "It's nothing, Rikki, you already apologized to me just now. There's really no need to be like this anymore. I didn't take it to heart."

Li Xi shook his head, his attitude resolute: "It's different. It's indeed my fault. Regardless of whether you take it to heart or not, an apology is necessary."

"Is that so? Then I accept it." Aine gave Li Xi a smile.

"Ain..." Ain's smile made Li Xi a little dazed. She spoke softly, without her usual impatience.

Aine was a little uncomfortable with Rikki's sudden tone and way of addressing her: "What's wrong, Rikki? Why are you suddenly using that tone?"

"Why...why can you still laugh?" Li Xi lowered her head, her hand subconsciously grasping her arm. "Even though you've been through such a thing...you're in this state, why do you still have the energy to comfort us?"

Aiyin heard the trembling in Lixi's voice. At this moment, she was silent. She didn't know how to talk to Lixi.

Yes, I must seem a bit heartless in the eyes of others... Even though I have a terminal illness, I can still smile every day and still care about solving other people's problems. Maybe I am really heartless...

"Aine, I'm so grateful to you."

"Eh?"

Li Xi raised his head, tears trembling in his eyes: "Thank you for pulling me out of my inferiority complex. Thank you for letting me know that I am different."

“What…” Aine chuckled, pretending to be relaxed, “Why is Rikki suddenly getting sentimental?”

Li Xi didn't show any impatience towards Aiyin's teasing: "I just want to speak out what's in my heart..."

After a pause, Li Xi continued: "Can you... promise me one thing?"

"what?"

"Can you always stay with us...?" Li Xi's voice was trembling. Although she knew that this was a wishful thinking, she still couldn't help asking. She wanted to hear a satisfactory answer from Aiyin's mouth.

“I…” Aine lowered her eyes, feeling lost. “Rikka…don’t be so greedy.”

"Didn't you...say you wanted to be in a band for life?" Li Xi shook his head, unable to accept the answer given by Aine.

"Right... I'll keep my promise... with my whole life..."

The short words entered Lixi's ears, causing her heart to ache. She grabbed Aiyin's hand, unwilling to give up.

"So...what about the lights? What about Lenai?"

"Tomorin... Lena-chan..." Aine muttered to herself. Rikki was right. What should Tomorin and Lena-chan do next? Tomorin probably wouldn't be able to accept it. And Lena-chan...she was such an interesting child.

Thinking of what she would look like in the hospital bed later, Aine sighed: "Maybe... should I disappear from her world?"

Hearing this, Li Xi was stunned. Her intuition told her that Aine's next words would be hurtful. She was about to speak, but Aine spoke first.

"How about... I'll just quit mygo and disappear."

buzzing...

On the ceiling, the sound of the fan turning filled the entire cafe. Although it was a silent fan, it sounded extremely noisy to Lixi.

Li Xi was not sure what Aine said, so she asked again: "Aine...what did you say?"

"I... should just quit myGO and disappear into the world of lights." Aine sighed as she watched Riki holding her hand. "This... at least it'll be easier for Tomorin to accept than telling her I have ALS."

"But..." Li Xi opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Aine is right. She said that quitting mygo is the least harmful way to Deng... If Deng knew that she has ALS... she would definitely not be able to accept it. However... she can't accept your disappearance.

I can't accept your disappearance...

Li Xi said with hope: "Is there no better way?"

Aine shook her head: “No more…”

Chapter 193 Compromise

"Ain, Deng has already been abandoned by Xiangzi once..." Li Xi raised his head, his straightforward gaze meeting Ain's, as if he wanted to pour all his worries and anxieties into these words, "If you abandon her again... she will be sad and suspicious for the rest of her life..."

Aine shook her head and forced a smile. “I…I won’t quit until this live show is over. I’m still a member of MyGO.”

"But... you still have to quit in the end." Li Xi lowered his head, his voice getting smaller and smaller, but his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something.

“I… there’s nothing I can do about it.” Aine felt a soreness in her nose and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. “After all… this is a terminal illness…”

"What if it can be cured later, right?" Li Xi's voice trembled a little, as if he could really deceive himself by saying this.

Aiyin didn't dare to look into Riki's eyes again. She was afraid, afraid of meeting that look full of reluctance and hope: "Riki..."

Li Xi held Ain's hand tightly, as if by doing so, Ain would give up the idea of ​​quitting the band in her mind: "This is the band you formed, you can't run away at this critical moment..."

Outside the coffee shop, Xiangzi, Su Shi and Mu were standing at the door waiting for Aiyin.

"I didn't expect Xiao Mu to be so bold." Su Shi covered her mouth and chuckled. The surprised expression of Li Xi just now appeared in her mind again. "When you said that you were happy with Aine-chan, Li Xi's eyes widened."

Mu Qiao blushed slightly, and quickly lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes in panic: "Su...Su Shi...I don't know why I said that."

"Well, I know how you feel." Su Shi gently placed her hand on Mu's shoulder to soothe him.

"Why do I feel like Xiao Ai and Rikki are both about to cry?"

Xiangzi's words suppressed Su Shi's desire to play. She turned around and walked to Xiangzi. Through the clean glass wall, Su Shi could clearly see the expressions of the two.

He Xiangzi was right. Both of them seemed to be holding back tears. Su Shi turned her head and spoke softly, with a hint of worry in her voice: "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Xiangzi nodded, agreeing with Su Shi's words: "Okay, maybe they have encountered some difficulties."

"But...didn't Riki say he wanted to talk to Aine-chan alone?" Mu spoke softly with hesitation in his eyes, interrupting the two who wanted to go in.

"Uh...it's okay, Mu." Xiangzi waved his hand awkwardly. "We're just going to check. If there aren't any problems, we can just withdraw."

Mu nodded thoughtfully: "Really."

After the three of them reached a consensus, Su Shi walked in first, followed closely by Xiangzi and Hemu.

The two who were still silent couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after seeing the three of them walk in. Aine asked, her voice full of confusion: "Aren't you...waiting for me at the door?"

"Well, seeing that you looked like you were about to cry, I was a little worried, so I came in." Xiangzi gave the two of them a reassuring smile, then looked at Rikki who was closest to him, "Rikki, what's wrong with you?"

"This guy... wants to quit mygo." Li Xi's voice trembled a little.

"Eh?" After hearing Riki's answer, Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Aine, "Aine-chan, why do you want to quit mygo?"

“Because… I don’t want Tomorin to know about my condition.” Aine held her chin with one hand, a worried look on her face, her voice so low it was almost inaudible. “I feel like quitting the team is easier to accept than ALS.”

"Aine-chan, it's okay." Su Shi walked behind Aine and hugged her tightly, "We agreed to be together for a lifetime. Trust me and Xiaoxiang, okay?"

After hesitating for a long time, Aine finally spoke, her words tinged with compromise: "Then... I'll stay in mygo for now. If I really can't think of any other solution later, I can withdraw on my own. Is that okay?"

Although she still felt bad, Aine had already made the biggest concession, and Riki nodded: "Well, that's fine."

After saying goodbye to Lixi, the four of them left the cafe.

On the way, feeling Aine's lost mood, Su Shi smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so sad, Aine-chan, this hasn't happened yet, has it?"

"Yes, Xiaoai, we still have time." Xiangzi gently grabbed Ain's hand.

Mutsuya nodded in agreement, "Aine, it's okay."

“Soyorin… Sakki… Mumu.” Aine nodded, and after releasing all the annoyance in her heart in one breath, she regained her usual cheerfulness. “You’re right, there’s still time, right?”

Seeing Aiyin visibly cheer up, Xiangzi smiled slightly: "This is the little Ai I know."

Aine nodded, then asked, "By the way, Sakki, when are you guys going to perform in Yokohama?"

Xiangzi answered, "I'll go on Saturday and perform on Sunday. What's wrong?"

"Well, didn't I talk to Meowme-chin and Umirin before? Later, they said they wanted to bring you two together for a good talk." Aine thought for a moment, "I feel like... you two would be a good match if you formed a band."

"Huh? And Yutenji?" Xiangzi's interest instantly waned when she heard the words "Miao Mengqin." She spread her hands helplessly and replied irritably, "I don't think they would be compatible."

Aine gently pinched Xiangzi's chubby face: "Well, Sakki, at least we can meet and talk about our feelings. Maybe we can come to terms with each other."

Mujica on the side nodded: "Yes, Xiangzi, Mujica..."

"Tsk, okay then." Xiangzi sighed, and the scene of Miao Meng taking off her mask in the martial arts hall appeared in his mind again.

Su Shi was a little confused about the name Aine called out: "Aine-chan, umirin...who is that? Could it be Hailing that Riki mentioned earlier?"

"Yeah, it's Hailing. How about it? Umirin sounds good too, right?"

Aine was quite pleased with Suyo's reaction.

Looking at Aine's smug look, Su Shi's mouth twitched: "Uh... Hehehe, Aine-chan's naming is still so ingenious."

Aine put her hands on her hips, “Of course.”

Su Shi turned away, Aine-chan, I didn't mean to praise you...

"Xiao Ai, when are you going to call them out?"

Aiyin took out her phone and swiped her finger across the screen. "Let me ask them, and after they reply, I'll gather them together and give you the answer. How about that?"

"Yeah." Suddenly, Xiangzi was startled and took out his cell phone from his pocket. "Xiao Ai, should I call Chuhua to come with me?"
