MYGO's guitarist has ice attribute bonus

Every time she dug out the food, every time she chewed it, Aine felt like she was not looking at a person, but rather admiring a delicate machine.

One bite, two bites, three bites.

Xiaomu takes three bites of a small spoonful of dessert, what a small mouth she has.

"By the way, I feel like Xiaomu's eating is like a set program. The amount of dessert he scoops out with his spoon, the amount he eats in each bite, and the number of times he chews are all the same."

Hearing this, Mu's hand suddenly trembled, and the amount of dessert he scooped out with this spoon seemed to be a lot more.

Can puppets make mistakes?

"This is the etiquette that my mother taught me..."

"Xiao Mu, eat first. After you finish eating, I want to ask you something."

Mu didn't answer, but just lowered his head, and the gears continued to turn, and he continued to eat the dessert in three bites and one spoonful.

After Mu finished eating, Ain paid the bill first. Under Mu's somewhat puzzled gaze, Ain took Mu's hand and brought her to a river.

"Xiao Mu, have you been asked to do a lot since you were a child?"

Aine’s response was only silence.

Aiyin walked to the lawn beside the stream, sat down, and said to herself, "Xiao Mu must have been very well-behaved and sensible when he was young."

It looked like she was asking Mu, but actually Aine's tone was one of affirmation rather than question.

Aine turned around, and as expected, she saw Mu with his head lowered.

Looking at this expression, Xiao Mu was certain that what I said was correct.

"Xiao Mu, the more well-behaved and sensible you were when you were little, the more it meant your family didn't allow you to express your own ideas."

Aine’s answer was still endless silence.

"Xiao Mu, don't you want to sit down?"

"No...I can't get my clothes dirty."

After hearing this, Aine couldn't help herself. She stood up and grabbed Mu's hand. Although Mu resisted a little, he only resisted symbolically for a few times before being pulled to Aine's side.

"Xiao Mu, sit down."

Despite repeated persuasion, Mu still stood there. Helplessly, Aiyin could only force Mu to sit next to her.

"Xiao Mu, you think exactly the same as I do." Aine held Mu's hand and looked at his profile. "Xiao Mu, you must be tired too, just like Sakki."

"In fact, children who seem well-behaved when they are young actually have more psychological problems when they grow up. At home, they have to listen to their parents and not rebel; at school, they have to respect their teachers and obey them. Everything is suppressed, right, Xiao Mu?"

Hearing this, Mu buried his head in his chest, as if he wanted to shut himself up tightly.

"But these self-suppressed emotions will not disappear just because you are well-behaved and sensible, little Mu." Aiyin did not look at Mu. She knew that she should leave some personal space for Mu. All she could do was hold Mu's hand and give her warmth.

"Some parents are extremely strict with their children, not allowing them to stray from the path they've planned. Others use emotional blackmail to force them to obey. For example, when a child presents an idea, parents often say, 'I'm doing all this for you, Xiaomu.' Your parents probably fall into one of those categories."

Hearing Aine say this, Mu's head seemed to bury a little deeper. How should she tell Aine that her mother was extremely strict, and her father was the latter that Aine mentioned.

The two of them sang in unison and drowned the emotionally rich Wakaba Mutsu with their own hands. Now the only one alive is the perfect doll in their hearts.

"Children from such families learn that their own thoughts and feelings are unimportant, and that only obedience and compliance can earn them recognition. As they grow up, they often don't know what they like or even what they're feeling, because they've never paid attention to their own feelings."

Having said that, Mu felt that the string that had been tense in his heart seemed to have broken.

"Xiao Mu, don't you want to experience and live out your true self? If you blindly try to please others in a well-behaved way, are you... still yourself? Xiao Mu, you don't belong to anyone else. You only belong to yourself."

Am I...still me?

Mu quietly looked at his hands in front of him. His hands... so familiar, yet so strange.

This is clearly my hand, so why don't I feel it bringing me joy? It's as if... it's always been completing tasks for someone else.

Thinking of this, a sour feeling surged out from the axis of the puppet girl and flowed uncontrollably to each running gear.

Aine's words, with warmth and strength, pried open the shackles that bound her heart, and an unprecedented emotion surged in Mu's chest.

I... belong only to myself?

Aine's words were completely different from her parents'...

Aiyin also sensed something was wrong with Mu. She turned around, looked at the motionless Mu, and called out, "Xiao Mu? Xiao Mu, are you okay?"

“Aine…chan…”

Hearing Aiyin's soft call, Mu finally raised her head. Something called "tears" gathered in her eyes, blurring Mu's golden eyes and washing away Mu's world.

That tear was transparent and pure, like a broken star, falling into the earth, dyed with the color of the sunset, carrying an unspeakable emotion.

"I... why do my eyes feel blurry... am I crying?"

Aiyin gently hugged the petite Mu, and her warm body seemed to block the world's malice towards her.

"Xiao Mu, it's okay to cry, just cry it out." Aiyin gently patted Mu's back, "Xiao Mu, you have to know what the real you is like besides your current identity. No matter what you are like, you deserve to be treated gently by yourself, by others, and by the world. Sakki and I will always be with you."

Mu's body was twitching a little, and although there was no sound, Aine knew that Mu was crying loudly.

Although her chest was wet with tears once again, Aine had no regrets.

Well, it doesn’t matter if the clothes get wet. As long as it can make Xiaomu become more normal, just like what happened with Sakki, and no longer look like a doll, it’s worth it.

Chapter 18: Aiyin's skills amaze everyone?

After a long time, Mu finally raised his head from Aine's arms, his tears soaked in the afterglow of the sunset, adding a touch of beautiful makeup to his bloodless face.

Aiyin gently wiped away the tears on Mu's face: "Xiao Mu, do you feel better?"

"Shoko said that Aine is very gentle, like a sun...it's true."

“Eh?” Hearing this, Aine felt a little embarrassed, “No… no, I’m not as good as Sakki said.”

"But Aine definitely changed Shoko..."

Will I change too... I want to change, Aine... I feel so bad, I don't want to attack myself anymore... I also want to talk...

"Xiao Mu, since we are good friends, you should try to show your true self in front of me in the future. If there is anything you can't say to others, just come to me and talk to me. No matter what you are like, Xiao Mu, I will like you." Aiyin gently stroked the hair on the side of Mu, and this gentle action seemed to capture Mu's heart.

Mu lowered his head reflexively: "Well, I... I will try my best."

"Xiao Mu, raise your head."

Aine's voice was like the drizzle in spring, gentle and full of magic, gently brushing past Mu's ears.

At that moment, Mu seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force. He raised his head involuntarily and looked into those gray eyes.

"Xiao Mu, say what you just said again."

This time, Mu didn't look away. After brewing for a while, the voice finally came out of Mu's mouth: "I will try my best, Aine... Aine-chan, I will try to find myself in front of you."

"Well, I will always look forward to seeing Xiao Mu."

Standing still, after being baptized by the pink sunlight, the doll's originally rusty axis seemed to be moisturized and became smooth again.

Behind her, the strings that controlled her were breaking one by one. Although not all of them were disconnected, the puppet now felt a long-lost sense of relief. It was the first time she had ever felt this way in her life.

"jingle".

The notification sound of the mobile phone interrupted the wonderful atmosphere between the two. Aiyin took out her mobile phone, and as expected, it was Li Xi.

"Xiao Mu, Rikki has a message. I have to leave first."

"See you."

Watching Aine walk away, Mu felt a sense of emptiness in his heart for some reason.

Maybe dolls get lonely too.

RiNG.

Aiyin had gone through the pressure from Rikki last time, so she was not late this time.

When Aine arrived, Riki and Touma were already waiting for her and Suyo.

Seeing Aine arrive, Riki glanced at the time: "There are still ten minutes left until the agreed time. This time it's pretty fast."

"Of course, Rikki, I arrived just in time, isn't that amazing?"

"Humph, isn't this what we should do? Are you still planning to stand us up?"

Hearing this, Aine pouted: "Really, Rikki's words are really hurtful. I didn't stand you up last time... I just came a little late... maybe."

"You're two hours late, so why don't you call me later?" Li Xi crossed his arms, sat on the chair, and looked at Aiyin with an unhappy face.

"Oh, Rikki, I've admitted my mistake." Aine imitated Su Shi's accent, but it gave Rikki goosebumps.

"I told you my name is not Rikki, and I've said it many times."

"Rikki is really not honest. He is obviously very happy in his heart."

"Who would be happy with such a name?"

Just as the two were bickering, Su Shi walked in wearing a fake smile: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Seeing Su Shi, Aine immediately ran over and grabbed her arm, "Su Shi-san, please be the judge."

Although she felt a little disgusted, Su Shi endured it for the sake of her own plan. Now was not the time to turn against Aine.

Looking at Li Xi's somewhat dark face, Su Shi guessed something in her heart, but she still asked Ai Yin in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Hey, Rikki is a nice name, isn't it?"

"The naming taste is extremely poor." Li Xi said this and took a sip of water helplessly.

Sounds good... what the hell.

Su Shi felt a little embarrassed, wondering who gave Aine the confidence to feel that the name sounded nice.

Although she was complaining in her heart, Su Shi still had to step forward and act as a peacemaker: "By the way, Aiyin, we have some time today, let's take a look at your guitar."

“Okay.” Aiyin was full of confidence at this moment.

Humph, watch out, I am sure that my guitar performance today will definitely astound you three. After all, Sakki has been helping me train before and has laid a solid foundation. This afternoon, I also went through Xiaomu’s devilish training.

I am so strong now!

With these thoughts in mind, Aine followed the three people into the rehearsal room.

When the song ended, Aine looked at Rikki with some pride: "Hey, Rikki, how is it? Huh, Aine is very strong now."

Li Xi nodded reluctantly, acknowledging Ai Yin's guitar skills. "How long have you been practicing this?"

"About a week."

Hearing this, Li Xi suddenly wanted to withdraw his approval of Ai Yin: "No way, it took a week to play like this?"

Aine turned her face away from Li Xi and said, "I...I can already play it very well, okay? I don't have much time to practice."

"Wait a minute, I'll find you a song and you can play it on the spot."

Aiyin had never expected these words. She looked at Li Xi who was constantly swiping his phone with some nervousness, but then she shook her head, trying to get rid of the nervousness in her mind.

No, I can't be afraid. Sakki and Xiaomu have helped me so much with just the music score. If I can't play it well, how can I face them like this?

"Here, play this one for a minute."

Aiyin took the phone handed over by Lixi, looked at the music score on it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was simpler than the music scores that Xiaomu taught her this afternoon. No, it should be said that it was much simpler.

After playing another song, Aiyin let out a long sigh. This time she felt that she played quite well.

Sushi and Deng clapped their hands at the same time: "Aine (chan) is amazing."

"No way." Li Xi sighed, "You just had two spots, why did you play so hard? Are you going to play heavy metal?"

"Well, Rikki, I didn't mean it. Just be careful next time."

It's over. I practiced with Xiaomu for an entire afternoon, and the rhythm hasn't been completely changed yet, otherwise I would have been able to play this song perfectly.

"Well, I guess you didn't mean it. There can't be any mistakes in those ten minutes in a few days."

Chapter 19: The Doll's Loneliness

Aine was a little surprised that Li Xi would give in so easily. The next moment, she quickly stood up and moved closer to Li Xi, looking at her with a smirk on her face: "As expected, Li Xi is also impressed by my skills."

"What's so impressive about that? Wildcat's guitar is much better than yours."

When mentioning Lenna, Aine scratched her face awkwardly: "Although there is a big gap between me and Lenna, I will practice hard."

Deng trusted Aine's words and nodded heavily: "I believe Aine-chan will become very powerful."

Li Xi closed his eyes helplessly and immediately pushed Ai Yin away: "Alright, alright, I'll trust you for once."
