Chu Hua took a sip of coffee and said, "Actually, I want to ask you, what do you think love is?"
"Love?" Aine stared blankly at the golden-haired girl in front of her, not quite understanding why this girl, whom she had only met a few times and had hardly spoken to, would ask her this question.
Is it because Chuhua might like Sakki that he wants to ask me?
With doubts in her heart, Aiyin asked: "Why did Chuhua ask me this?"
"Because... I have someone I like." Chu Hua's whole body was trembling. She gripped the teacup tightly, her fingers turning white from excessive force.
"Is that so?" Aiyin bit her lower lip. "Then what I said to Sakki before was right. Chuhua really liked Sakki. "My idea of love is that two people like each other and both sides will consider each other. There's no need for one person to desperately chase after the other, right?"
"There's no need to desperately chase after someone..." Chuhua thought about what Aiyin said, and his thoughts unconsciously drifted to the day when Xiangzi decisively rejected him.
Is this what Xiao Ai thinks Ai Yin is? Could it be that Xiao Ai said this because Xiao Xiang told Xiao Ai that she likes Xiao Xiang? But... is Xiao Ai really that kind of person?
Chu Hua let out a long sigh, and looked at Ain without any hesitation behind his sunglasses, but he didn't find anything unusual on Ain.
After a moment, Chu Hua retracted his gaze: "The person I like...she doesn't like me."
"Uh..." The corner of Aiyin's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't know how to answer Chuhua.
"Xiao Ai, do you know that Xiao Xiang and I have talked?"
Aine shook her head: "I don't know about that."
"Xiaoxiang has someone he likes, did you know?" Chu Hua clenched his hands hidden under the dining table.
Aine nodded awkwardly, "I know that."
"Before... when I was little, I met Xiaoxiang. I had no friends, and she became my best friend. She clearly promised me that she would come every summer vacation." Chuhua paused, lowered her head, and continued, "But, she broke her promise. In order to return to her, I came from a small island to Tokyo, and climbed step by step to become the idol I am today..."
I was here first, but why...
Aiyin didn't say anything, just looked at Chuhua calmly.
Chu Hua raised her head: "Xiao Ai, do you know that Xiao Xiang likes you?"
Seeing Aiyin nod, Chuhua sighed and leaned back in his chair with a look of relief: "Is that so."
Why doesn't Xiaoxiang want to look me in the eye? What's wrong with me?
The atmosphere between the two of them froze. Chu Hua tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands, and his fingers trembled from excessive force.
After a long time, Chu Hua's clenched teeth finally loosened. Her throat rolled up and down several times, and she adjusted her breathing. She forced a smile on her face, looking nonchalant: "But it's okay, Xiao Ai, I wish you all the best. After all, this kind of thing is just like you said, it has to be a two-way journey, right?"
"Chuhua..." Aiyin turned her eyes away. Chuhua's awkward look was obvious to her.
Alas, Chuhua said it so easily, how could he not care in his heart? Just like when I faced Soyorin's confession... I thought about leaving her after ALS came on, but I still couldn't bear to do so.
Chu Hua's chest heaved violently after she finished speaking. She realized that her words were a little inappropriate and stood up awkwardly: "Um... Sorry, Xiao Ai, I... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The moment Chu Hua turned around, her knee hit the table leg with a dull sound. Without time to worry about these trivial matters, Chu Hua quickly fled the cafe.
Chu Hua ran into an empty alley, panting heavily, leaning against the wall, his body shaking violently.
Thinking back to the conversation with Aine in the cafe just now, tears formed circles in Chuhua's eyes, but she never let them fall.
She clenched her fists and pounded them hard on the wall in front of her. A slightly hoarse voice came out of her throat: "What am I...doing what on earth...Why did I specifically call Xiao Ai out...It's so disgusting..."
Do we really have to be just good friends like Xiaoxiang said... Xiaoai and Xiaoxiang obviously like each other... Can I really bear to ruin it?
I... don't want to... I don't want to be such a pretentious person...
Chu Hua took out her cell phone, lowered her head and clicked on the chat with Xiangzi, then found the "Delete Chat History" button. Looking at the black button, she bit her lower lip tightly, her finger hovering on it for a long time, but she still didn't have the courage to press it.
pat.
A tear fell on the sunglasses she was wearing, blurring Chuhua's vision.
The strong emotions made Chu Hua's chest rise and fall rapidly. The next moment, Chu Hua pressed the lock screen button of the mobile phone and grasped the phone tightly in his hand.
Forget it... Don't delete it. If you continue like this... There will be very little left of the good things Xiaoxiang left for me.
Chu Hua put the phone back into her pocket. She tried hard to raise her head and control her tears from flowing down. A fishy-sweet taste was already lingering on her lower lip.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Hua finally calmed down and walked out of the alley with a tired face, looking like a soulless walking corpse.
Meanwhile, Aiyin was walking on her way home, her mind full of the conversation she had just had with Chuhua.
Aiyin's mind was in a mess. She looked at the clouds floating in the sky: "Chuhua called me out just to say a few words of blessing to Sakki and me, and to express her resentment in a subtle way..."
"Forget it, let me tell Sakki first." Aine couldn't bear to continue thinking about the headache-inducing relationship alone. She took out her cell phone from her pocket, but before she could open the chat with Xiangzi, her attention was attracted by the message that suddenly popped up.
Shocked, Wakaba and Mori Minami's daughter actually went to an unknown band to do something like this! ?
Chapter 212 Deng's Feelings for Aine
On the street, Aiyin called Xiangzi, and soon, Xiangzi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Ai, why did you call me suddenly? Is there something urgent?"
Aiyin's voice was a little anxious: "Sakki, someone filmed the video of Mumu helping Mygo perform and posted it online. It's now the second most searched topic."
"Yi Lingyi Qi: Gulls are just 4 leek scars, eh?"
"Your agency should know that Mumu is performing in my place, right?"
"I know, I've already told them before." Xiangzi's voice was very calm. "Why is there such a big fuss?"
"Did you make an announcement on your official account in advance?"
Aiyin's words woke Xiangzi up, and the latter was silent for a moment: "No... I just told the agency."
"No wonder there's such a big reaction... What are you going to do next? Are you going to use your official account to make an announcement?"
"Well, I'll post an explanation right away and call the agency. This time it was our fault and that of the agency."
"By the way, Sakki, I talked to Chuhua today, and she knows that we are a couple."
Hearing this, Xiangzi fell silent again for a long time: "What did she say to you?"
"She said it's okay for us to be in a relationship, and she wishes us well..." After a pause, Aine continued, "But I saw that she was quite sad..."
"Oh, I've already talked to her and told her a clear no. We're just friends, don't think too much, little Ai Ni."
Xiangzi's somewhat impatient voice made Aiyin laugh: "I didn't think too much about it."
"That's good. Xiao Ai, I'll post on the official account first. I'll talk to Chu Hua about it later."
"Yeah, let's go."
After hanging up the phone, Aiyin didn't rush home, but stopped on the street and opened a harmonious chat.
[Ain: Mumu, have you read the news on the Internet?]
[Mu: Eh? News on the internet?]
[Aine: Um, because you attended the live in my place, it was recorded and uploaded to the internet. I’m sorry.]
[Mu: It's okay, Aine-chan.]
[Aine: Mumu, I just talked to Sakki and asked her to explain the situation on the official account.]
[Mu: Yeah, Aine-chan, don't be nervous. I'm practicing guitar right now. I'll ask Xiangzi later.]
Watching the conversation with Mu, Aiyin sighed, and just as she turned around to go home, a timid voice called her from behind.
"Aine-chan?"
Aiyin knew without a doubt that this timid voice belonged to Deng.
Aine turned her head, and sure enough, the light was right behind her. Her left hand was holding her right wrist, and she looked at her with some confusion: "Why is Aine-chan here?"
Aine smiled slightly: "I went to meet a friend today."
"Friends..." Deng lowered his head with his eyebrows slightly lowered.
"What about Tomorin?"
"I... I want to go to the aquarium today." Deng suddenly raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Aine, "Aine-chan, do you have time?"
It was so obvious that Aine immediately understood and nodded in response, "Yes, do you want to join us?"
“Yeah.” Deng smiled, mustered up the courage to reach out and grab Aine’s left hand.
Aine turned her head and looked at Deng who was holding her left hand. As her eyes moved up, Aine noticed that Deng's face was gradually flushed.
tomorin is so bold.
"Aine-chan, yesterday... what I said to RiNG, do you still remember?"
"remember."
"Then our relationship... has it also become intimate? Just like Xiaoxiang... Sushi."
As soon as Deng finished speaking, Aine understood. What Tomorin said yesterday... was actually a confession? Wait! Tomorin's meaning couldn't be the same as that of an ordinary person, right? Maybe she just wanted to have a better relationship with me? Like... a close friend?
Thinking of this, Aine nodded: "The relationship is much closer."
Deng was overjoyed by Aine's answer, and held Aine's hand even tighter: "Really..."
Arriving at the aquarium, Aine looked at the penguins in the water and pondered for a moment: "I'll go get a season pass later."
"Seasonal pass?" Deng tilted his head slightly. "Why not an annual pass?"
“Uh…” Aine twitched her lips, “Well, it won’t take that long now, right? Let’s do it later when there’s a chance.”
After listening to Aine's somewhat perfunctory explanation, Deng didn't think much about it. He just quietly held Aine's hand and watched the penguins swaying freely in the water.
After the penguin in the water swam back and forth countless times, Deng slowly spoke, his voice trembling slightly: "Aine-chan, our relationship... has become intimate, right?"
“Yeah, that’s right.” Aine nodded and turned her head, a little confused, “What’s wrong, Tomorin?”
"Actually, at first... I felt lost when I heard you say that you have a close relationship with Xiaoxiang and Sushi... and a very good relationship with me." Deng clutched Ain's clothes tightly, as if Ain would disappear if he didn't.
"So... I wrote 'A Moment of Sound', hoping to use this song to convey my inner feelings to you." Deng's mouth curled up. "Luckily... you finally received it."
Deng's explanation made Aiyin feel a little ashamed. She guessed Deng's feelings for her, but she didn't dare to be sure, and she couldn't be sure. She knew that Deng was a delicate girl at heart. If she really agreed to her, then when her ALS was exposed one day, she really couldn't believe what Deng's expression would be.
But, I already said yesterday that I knew Tomorin's feelings, so...if I reject Tomorin again, will it seem like I'm playing a trick on her and making fun of her emotions?
Or... just play dumb and pretend you don't know...
“Yeah, Tomorin, I know everything.” Aine forced a smile.
However, Deng saw through Aine's forced smile and hung her head. "Aine-chan...are you unhappy about coming to the aquarium with me?"
"No, why would you think so?"
“Because… Aine-chan’s unhappiness is already written all over her face.” Deng tightened his grip on the hem of Aine’s clothes, “So…”
"No." Aine raised her hand and stroked Deng's head, the feeling being like petting a small animal. "Actually, it's because Mumu participated in the live in my place, and there are a lot of doubts online now."
When Aine finished saying this, she suddenly wanted to slap herself twice.
I lied to tomorin again... Really, ever since I got ALS, I've been either lying or on the way to lying...
As expected, after Aine finished speaking, Deng's attention was drawn to her: "Eh? Mu-chan? Then...what should we do? I'm going to trouble Mu-chan."
Chapter 213 Xiao Mu, leave it to me (still owe 11 chapters)
"Don't worry, Tomorin, I've talked to Sakki and Mumu." Aine held Deng's hand with her right hand and whispered soothingly, "It's okay."
"Then...should we call Xiaoxiang and the others out?"
Aine shook her head: "Just trust Sakki, she's very reliable."
At the Toyokawa family's house, Xiangzi sat in his room, looking at the announcement he had just posted on his mobile phone, frowning slightly.
The explanatory announcement he had just released was almost entirely filled with questions.
Either he said that he only came out to explain after something happened, so why didn’t he do that before; or he asked Mu to come out to explain.
Xiangzi closed the account interface unhappily and called his agent. Not long after, the agent's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Fengchuan, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember what we discussed earlier about having Mu fill in for another band?"
"Yeah, remember."
"But neither of us released any notice, and now a video of Mu filling in for another band has been posted online."
"Eh?" The agent paused. "Has the official account released an announcement yet?"
"It's been released, but most fans don't believe it." Xiangzi sighed, "What should I do?"
The agent was silent for a moment, then replied, "Well, can we hold an interview tonight and let Ms. Ruoye respond?"
"Interview?" Xiangzi was stunned, and the fear Mu showed during the interview emerged in his mind again.
