MYGO's guitarist has ice attribute bonus

"Hehe, I've been discovered." Ruoyemu chuckled and stopped pretending. She walked to Xiangzi's side, took Xiangzi's hand in Xiangzi's stunned and puzzled eyes, and pulled her back to sit on the sofa. "I didn't expect Ruomai to see through it."

Miao Meng twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "At least I have thought about becoming an actor before... I do have some skills."

Xiangzi immediately distanced himself from Ruoye Mu: "Mertis? Where's Mu? What...what do you want to do?"

"Xiangzi, don't worry, don't worry. I didn't do anything to Xiaomu..." Ruoye Mu said with resentment, "You make me look bad when you say that."

Xiangzi showed no mercy at all: "Isn't it?"

Ruoye Mu crossed his arms over his chest and pouted to express his dissatisfaction: "Tsk, if you say that, I would also say that you didn't take good care of Xiao Mu back then, otherwise why would I come out?"

"You..." Xiangzi wanted to refute, but when he thought that what Ruoye Mu said was true, he had to swallow his words, "Why did you pretend to be Mu?"

Ruoye Mu did not hide anything: "I want to see how long I can deceive you."

"So...what do you want to do?"

"Oh." Ruoye Mu picked up a macaron from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. "Because Xiaomu couldn't handle Liu YaoVII Yiba's interview, I came out to help her."

After chewing and swallowing the macarons, Ruoye Mu looked up at his watch and continued, "I just talked to Xiaomu for a while."

Miao Meng asked, "What are you talking about?"

"From now on, Xiaomu will be in charge of the daily life and the band. I will take care of the things that Xiaomu can't handle." Ruoye Mu said, and sighed softly, "I didn't expect that I was so important to Xiaomu. She said that only with me can she be a real Ruoye Mu."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi fell silent. Her gaze stayed on Ruoye Mu for a long time.

Mu and Metis formed a true "Ruoye Mu"... It seemed that only when the two of them were integrated together could they form a complete personality...

Xiangzi sat back down next to Wakaba Mu again: "Where's Mu? I want to talk to her."

"Okay, I understand." Ruoye Mu nodded.

The next moment, Mu blinked: "Xiangzi..."

Xiangzi called out tentatively, "Mu?"

"Yeah." Mu nodded. "Xiangzi...what's wrong?"

After Mu finished speaking, Xiangzi turned to look at Miao Meng. Seeing the latter nod, she continued, "Have you talked it over with Metis? From now on... will you two take the lead separately?"

Mu nodded. "I talked a lot with her after the interview just now. I'm very grateful to Mortis."

"Is that so?" Xiangzi sighed helplessly and said reluctantly, "Since you recognize Metis, then I will believe her too."

After saying that, Xiangzi took out his cell phone: "Now that the matter here is resolved, I will tell Xiao Ai to save her from worrying all the time."

"Yeah." After Xiangzi finished sending the message to Aine, Mu gently grabbed Xiangzi's sleeve, "By the way, Xiangzi, Mortis wants to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

Without waiting for Xiangzi to ask the reason, Ruoyemu lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xiangzi. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I made you so miserable..."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi fell silent. She recalled the misery of those days again. If she was really defeated by Metis's psychological warfare, Xiangzi was not sure whether she could recover.

It would be a lie to say that I have no complaints against Metis, but... I am also responsible. Mu and I have been together since childhood, and I know Mu's personality very well, but I still believed her and let her continue to play the guitar in Mujica... If I hadn't failed to discover it, Metis would not have appeared... and all the things that happened afterwards could have been avoided... So, is this a punishment from God?

Ruoye Mu raised his head and called out again, "Xiangzi?"

"Well, I'm also wrong. If only I had noticed Mu's condition earlier." Xiangzi met Wakaba Mu's gaze. "To be honest, I hate you. After all, you treated me so badly... But if it weren't for you, it would have taken me some time to realize what a terrible person I am."

He chuckled and said, "Really? Indeed, Xiangzi is quite bad. Well, we are the same."

"I forgive you, but what about Xiao Ai and Su Shi?"

"I'll apologize to them when I see them."

……

Half a month passed uneventfully. During this time, Aiyin returned home, and Mortis apologized to Aiyin and Sushi, gaining their forgiveness. Meanwhile, Xiangzi had another private talk with Chuhua, and was told that Chuhua had given up her thoughts on him.

Love music home.

Aiyin was lying on the bed bored, watching Miaomeng's videos. "Miaomeng said these were all needed for the videos. Sigh, I bought quite a few before, but I feel like I lost out."

"jingle!"

Just as Aine was complaining, a message suddenly popped up, making her whole body jump. She suddenly sat up in bed: "Dr. Yamada sent me a message!?"

Without any hesitation, Aiyin clicked on it directly. She read the two long paragraphs sent to her by Dr. Yamada, and her eyes became more and more moist.

Dr. Yamada: Chihaya, first of all, congratulations! The pathogenic mechanism has been identified: a mutation in the SOD1 gene. Your ALS is single-factor. If you undergo surgery, you won't need so many targeted interventions. The safety and success rate will be significantly improved. This is the only treatment currently with a chance of a cure.

[Dr. Yamada: However, gene editing technology hasn't yet reached the level needed for human use in hospitals around the world, and the exact timeline for this is uncertain. Are you available this week? I'd like you to come to the hospital for a single surgery, which will be completed and completed the same day.]

[Aine: Yes, thanks to Dr. Yamada, I'm free anytime this week.]

[Dr. Yamada: Okay, please come tomorrow morning.]

Aine sat on the bed blankly, looking at the message from Dr. Yamada. A tear fell on the phone. She couldn't believe it. "So... there's a chance I can survive?"

“Mom…” Aine turned her head stiffly, the corners of her mouth gradually rising. Her hands trembled with excitement. “Mom!”

Aiyin got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and tried to push the door open. Suddenly, weakness in her legs made her fall to her knees. This time, she didn't feel any fear. She reached out and grabbed the door handle, using her upper body strength to stand up again. "Mom, I have good news..."

The next morning, Aiyin called out Xiangzi, Su Shi and He Mu early.

Su Shi yawned loudly: "Aine-chan, you called us out so early, do you have time to talk about good things?"

Similarly, Xiangzi and Mu also looked at Ain with some anticipation. They could naturally see the joy in Ain's eyes. Moreover, calling them out so early in the morning was something they had never experienced before.

“Yeah.” Aine nodded excitedly, “Yes, yes.”

As she spoke, Aine pulled out her phone and showed the three of them the conversation she had with Dr. Yamada. "My ALS is caused by a single factor, with a 10% chance of being cured. Dr. Yamada said there's hope it can be cured."

"Huh?" Su Shi snatched the phone from Aine's hand and read it word by word. After double-checking that she had read it correctly, she could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart. She placed the phone on the table and hugged Aine with open arms, "Aine-chan, come on, it will be okay."

“Aine-chan…” Mu’s hands trembled slightly. If that were the case…Aine-chan can always be with me…I’m so happy…

Xiangzi was holding Aine's cell phone, and the excitement in her eyes was also difficult to suppress. But when she saw Dr. Yamada's next words, although she felt a little uncomfortable, it was much better than the previous days when she had no hope at all.

Xiangzi stared at his phone and asked, "Xiao Ai, Dr. Yamada said you need surgery this morning. What is it?"

Aine shook her head, "Uh, I don't know about that."

Sushi let go of Aine and spoke softly, "Aine-chan, have you eaten yet? If not, let's go to the hospital after dinner."

"Yeah, I've eaten." Aine nodded. "It's past seven now, so should we go now?"

"Let's go." Xiangzi stood up.

They went out and hailed a taxi, and the four of them rushed to the hospital.

As soon as we entered NCNP, the smell of disinfectant and medicine hit us in the face. The lights in the corridor were cold, white and bright. The four of us walked on the floor tiles, and the friction between the soles of our shoes and the tiles made a slight "squeaking" sound.

Xiangzi and Mu followed behind Aiyin, turning left and right, and soon the four of them arrived at Dr. Yamada's diagnosis room.

"Chihaya-san, you're here so early." Doctor Yamada looked at the four girls in front of him with some surprise. "Are the other two here with you?"

“Yes.” Aine nodded. “I thought if I come early, I’ll avoid waiting in such a long line.”

Dr. Yamada nodded. "That's right. It's better to deal with this kind of thing sooner rather than later."

"So... Doctor Yamada, what is today's surgery...?"

"Intrathecal ASO injection..." Dr. Yamada said, seeming to realize that the girl in front of him didn't know the technical term. "This surgery is to delay your condition while waiting for the maturity of gene editing technology. Of course, the surgical method still requires a lumbar puncture."

"Eh?" Aine shuddered when she heard the word "lumbar puncture". The last time she had a lumbar puncture, she was in pain for three whole days, and after the procedure, she felt as if she was cut in half.

"I know you don't want to do it, but there's nothing we can do. This is the only way to delay the disease." Dr. Yamada waved his hand. "We want to delay it until gene editing technology can be used on humans."

Aine nodded and said nothing more.

Chapter 217 New Surgery Notice

An hour had passed by the time Aiyin was lying in the ward after the operation. Of course, this didn't mean that the operation took an hour, but because the preparations beforehand took a lot of time, the actual operation only took twenty minutes.

In the ward, Xiangzi sat beside the bed, his eyes full of heartache: "Xiao Ai, how do you feel?"

"It's okay, the pain will only be more noticeable when I turn over and get out of bed."

Su Shi pushed open the door of the ward, holding a cup of water in her hand: "Aine-chan, the doctor said to rest for two to three hours. As long as you don't have a headache, nausea or other feelings, you can leave."

"Is that so?" Aiyin looked at Su Shi with a sidelong glance.

Su Shi put the boiled water on the table: "Remember to drink water when you get up later."

"Aine-chan... your hands are so cold." Mu sat on the stool, gently holding Aine's slightly cold hands with both hands.

"It's okay, Mumu, just drink some hot water and you'll be fine."

Xiangzi held Aiyin's other hand, trying to warm her cold hand: "Xiao Ai, do you want to eat something later?"

"Want something to eat?" Aine stared at the somewhat depressing white ceiling quietly, and after a moment, she said, "I want a strawberry sandwich."

Without waiting for Xiangzi to answer, Su Shi refused outright: "Da-me."

"Eh? Why, soyorin?"

"Doctor Yamada said that you should avoid foods high in salt, sugar, and fat." After saying that, Su Shi took out a list that listed Aine's diet plan.

Xiangzi took the list and read it carefully. After he finished reading it, he handed it to Mu.

Xiangzi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Is that so? Then, Xiao Ai, there's nothing we can do."

“Tsk, alright then.” Aiyin pouted, but for the sake of her own health, she compromised.

The door to the ward was pushed open again, and Dr. Yamada walked in. "Chihaya, there are two things I need to tell you. First, the intrathecal ASO injection isn't just for one time. You'll need to come back every one to three months."

"Secondly..." After Dr. Yamada glanced at the four girls, he said, "Chihaya-san, where are your parents? This matter involves considerable expense and is of great importance. I need to speak to them clearly."

"Uh, Dr. Yamada, please wait a moment. Sakki, call my mom and have Dr. Yamada talk to her."

"Okay." Xiangzi didn't hesitate. He took out his cell phone and dialed Aine's mother, then handed it to Dr. Yamada.

After a while, the call was connected.

Aine's mother: "Hey, Xiaoxiang, is Aine's surgery done?"

"Hey, is this Chihaya-san's mother?"

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then responded: "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Dr. Yamada, the doctor in charge of her ALS. I have something to discuss with you."

"You said."

"After discussion, our hospital would like to conduct a cytokine storm risk test on Ms. Chihaya in the near future in order to better improve and update the treatment plan." Dr. Yamada said solemnly.

Aine's mother agreed without hesitation: "Sure."

"But Aiyin's mom, this cytokine storm test needs to be reviewed every 3-6 months, and some items are not covered by medical insurance, so the out-of-pocket expense is high."

After a pause, Dr. Yamada continued, "If gene editing technology can be matured and applied to Chihaya-san as soon as possible, then the cost-effectiveness will be the highest. However, if it exceeds the golden treatment period, then the cost will be very high. I hope you can carefully consider this."

After a long silence, the person on the other end of the line spoke again: "So... when will genetic programming technology mature?"

"It's still in the experimental stage, and no one can say when it will be used on humans."

Without waiting for Aiyin's mother to answer, Xiangzi said, "Auntie, it's no problem. I can help with the money matters as well."

"This is a lot of money. Xiaoxiang, please don't cause trouble for the family. We can find a way to solve it ourselves." Aiyin's mother continued, "Doctor Yamada, when can we have the test?"

"If you agree, then have Chihaya-san come in for the examination tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, as long as it's something that will benefit Aine, I will definitely agree to it."

After Aiyin's mother hung up the phone, Dr. Yamada handed the phone to Xiangzi. The latter looked at the phone that had turned off and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Auntie doesn't want me to spend money... Indeed, I haven't told her about my family situation. I'll tell her about it when we go out to eat. Otherwise, Xiao Ai's family won't be able to support this illness alone...

Thinking of this, Xiangzi shifted her gaze to Su Shi, who noticed her gaze and seemed to have guessed Xiangzi's inner thoughts. He just nodded quietly.

Seeing this, Xiangzi nodded slightly in response.

It was three hours later when Aiyin and the other three left the hospital. After Aiyin told her mother that she was discharged, the four of them randomly found a restaurant to have dinner.

After ordering the dishes, Xiangzi leaned close to Mu's ear and said, "Mu, Sushi and I will be out for a while. You stay here with Xiaoai."

Mu turned his head and looked at Xiangzi blankly. Although his eyes were full of confusion, he still nodded.

Seeing Suye and Xiangzi push the door open and leave, Aine was confused: "Mumu, what are Sakki and Soyorin going to do?"

"They'll be out for a while." Mu lowered his head and took a sip of mango juice, then looked up at Aine, "Aine-chan, your waist..."
