Su Shi took out her phone and said, "We're going to perform in a few days. What songs should we play? I have a few songs here. What do you think?"

Without a moment's hesitation, the pressure-type Riki immediately rushed over: "Just play the Kasuga Kage and be done with it."

Although he was unhappy, Su Shi still had that fake smile on his face: "I think it's quite suitable for practice, and playing..."

Li Xi did not agree with Su Shi's words, but directly asked: "What do you mean by practice?"

Li Xi's sudden question made Su Shi freeze in place: "Huh?"

While the two were talking, Deng took out his notebook from his bag and walked up to Lixi.

Li Xi naturally recognized the notebook at a glance: "Deng, is this notebook filled with new lyrics?"

Seeing Deng nod, Li Xi felt a little happy and took the notebook from Deng's hand with both hands.

"This song... was asked by Aine-chan to be written by me."

"Huh?" Aine didn't expect that Deng could actually write it, and wrote it so quickly. She randomly moved closer to Lixi and wanted to see the lyrics, but was pushed away by Lixi.

"Really?! Rikki, I should have the right to see what I asked you to do. Let me see it, just take a look."

Li Xi did not answer Ain, but just made a gesture to keep quiet. Ain couldn't help but become quiet after seeing it.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Xi frowned and looked at the lyrics in his hand: "I will compose the music."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people present uttered "Eh" at the same time.

Su Shi was a little surprised: "Li Xi, can you compose music?"

"Although I'm still learning..." Li Xi's eyes were firm, and his tone was full of unquestionable certainty, "Deng wrote the song for us, so I will compose it."

……

At night, Mu took the driver's car back to his home.

She carried a tall guitar on her back and pushed open the door of the mansion. Although it was heavy, she felt extremely relaxed.

"I am back."

"Miss, you're back. The master and the mistress said they have something to do these two days and won't be back." Several maids walked up to Mu and wanted to take the heavy guitar for her, but Mu dodged them with her back foot.

"Well, I see."

After hearing what the maid said, Mu responded and left the hall with his guitar on his back.

Several maids looked at each other, then looked at Mu's back, their eyes full of confusion. They whispered in voices that only they could hear.

"Why did the young lady refuse us to take over the guitar today?"

"Are you stimulated by something?"

"I just seemed to see the young lady smile."

"Are you blind? How can a doll laugh?"

"makes sense."

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Mu finished washing up and lay down on the bed. She looked quietly at the call list on her mobile phone. On it was a message that Su Shi had just sent her, asking which school Xiangzi was attending.

Aine-chan... I feel like I don't mean much to Su Shi in her heart... Su Shi is always thinking about Xiangzi... I... feel so anxious.

I really want a lifelong friend... someone who can put me at ease, who truly cares about my feelings and whom I can confide in... Aine-chan, you... are so gentle, just like the best friend I dreamed of, just like the original Suyo...

Can you...be my own Aine? My own Aine...for the rest of my life.

Of course, Mu also knew that this idea was unrealistic.

Aine's gentleness was so dazzling that even Xiangzi was attracted by her radiance.

Perhaps this is the loneliness of the doll.

With this thought in mind, Mu gradually fell asleep.

After two days of rest, the students returned to their daily monotonous lives.

Moon Forest.

Su Shi stood beside Mu with a smile: "I will attend RiNG's concert with Li Xi and the others later. After the concert, I will remove Ai Yin from the team and then invite Xiao Mu to join our band."

"Eh?" Hearing the word Aiyin, Mu, who was watering the plants, suddenly stopped her hand in mid-air. In a trance, she seemed to hear the words spoken by the gentle girl in her ear yesterday.

Xiao Mu, don't you want to experience and live your true self? If you blindly try to please others with your clever ways, are you still yourself? Xiao Mu, you don't belong to anyone else. You belong only to yourself.

I also want to try to change.

Mu put the kettle on the ground: "Sushi, why did you eliminate Aiyin?"

"Eh?"

Su Shi looked at Mu in a strange way. She had never thought that Mu would speak to her in such a tone: "Xiao Mu, do you know Aine?"

After saying this, Mu remembered what Xiangzi had said to her on the phone: Don't let certain people know about our relationship with Aine-chan, otherwise everything I have done before will be wasted.

Mu shook his head, his words a little unsettling: "I don't know him."

"Xiao Mu is really not good at lying." Su Shi's eyes were a little sharp, and Mu lowered his head involuntarily. However, when Su Shi spoke, it was still with that signature punctuation, "How did you get to know her?"

Sure enough, I messed up again...

Mu once again fell into self-doubt after Su Shi easily guessed that he and Aine were related.

When Crychic disbanded, it was that sentence of mine that became the key to pushing the band apart...

Maybe... I'm really not suitable to reveal my true feelings.

Aine-chan, I'm sorry.

"Xiao Mu, it doesn't matter how you met her." Su Shi's eyes became unusually calm, and a hint of indifference appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Even if you say you don't want to eliminate Ai Yin, this is an established fact and it won't change no matter what."

Crychic, I will bring it back to life myself.

By then, Xiaoxiang, Xiaomu, Xiaodeng and Lixi, I will play Live together again, playing the Spring Shadow that belongs to us Crychic.

"Su Shi...seems to be breaking down..."

Mu didn't dare look at Su Shi, but still mustered up the courage to say this.

"Xiao Mu, you seem a little different." Su Shi smiled gently at Xiao Mu, "Is it really because of Aine?"

Chapter 20: The King of Blocking the Gate in Moon Forest, But He Blocked the Wrong Person

Mu didn't say anything else. To be exact, she didn't dare to say anything more because it was too easy for Su Shi to guess what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Su Shi couldn't help but fiddle with her long hair.

Aine, I haven't really had a proper conversation with her yet, that annoying girl who always comes across as familiar...

Aine's smiling face gradually emerged in Su Shi's mind, but she immediately pushed it out of her mind.

I don't need her in my head, not now, not ever.

So, when did she meet Xiao Mu? It couldn't have been before I showed Aine the video of the Crychic ensemble. Judging from Aine's expression at the time, she didn't know Xiao Mu at that time.

Is that what happened next? But how could a student from Hanaoka know Tsuki no Mori...

Although she knows me...but Xiaomu is so silent to acquaintances, let alone strangers?

Because of the little lamp? That seemed to be the only answer.

"By the way, Xiao Mu, judging from your tone, it seems like you and Aine are quite familiar with each other." Su Shi smiled, and as always, she mixed her voice, "Xiao Mu, you don't want to watch Crychic fall apart like this, until everyone becomes strangers, right?"

“But, Suyo…Aine…”

Before Mu could finish what was on his mind, Su Shi interrupted him: "Xiao Mu, I plan to go straight to Yuqiu to look for Aine after school today."

I really want to see what kind of magic she has that can turn Xiao Mu into this in such a short time.

In the afternoon, most of the students of Yuqiu had left, but Su Shi had been stuck at the school gate for nearly half an hour.

Looking at the almost empty Yuqiu, Su Shi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Seriously, what the hell is this girl doing? She can't be kept in the classroom by the teacher to catch up on her homework. If she's really at this level, she should just quit playing in a band and focus on her studies.

And what is Aine doing at this moment?

In the activity room of the wind band club, Xiangzi and Aine have finished their piano and guitar practice for the day.

"By the way, Aine-chan, I haven't asked you how your practice with Mu went the day before yesterday, and Mu didn't tell me either."

Aiyin turned her head away awkwardly, not daring to look at Xiangzi's face: "Um, Sakki, Xiaomu almost made me depressed the day before yesterday."

Seeing Aiyin's expression, Xiangzi came up to her and looked like he was eating melons: "Eh? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Mu was quiet and played fast during his lessons. It took me nearly two hours to get used to Xiao Mu's guitar rhythm. Later, when I practiced, I felt like my hands were smoking...but Xiao Mu said I was playing a little too slowly."

"puff."

"Sakki, are you laughing at me?" Aine pouted and patted Xiangzi's shoulder lightly to show her protest.

"No, Aine-chan, how could I bear to laugh at you?"

"You were obviously laughing! You never stopped!"

"Okay, Aine-chan, I have to go first. By the way, I will go to see the performance you told me about."

"Yeah, then I'm going to RiNG too. Bye sakki, see you tomorrow."

Aine turned on her phone, and after confirming with Deng that she was in the Astronomy Club, Aine headed to the club.

Xiangzi, on the other hand, walked towards the school gate with a smile on his face.

Aine-chan is really cute. The time I spend with her every day goes by so quickly.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi walked to the school gate unknowingly. The moment Su Shi, who was at the school gate, saw Xiangzi, the irritability in her heart instantly turned into bubbles, and all the words she wanted to question Aine were choked in her mouth.

The moment Xiangzi saw Su Shi, his eyes were full of disbelief.

How did she know I was here? Was it a coincidence? Or did someone tell on me... Mutsu? Or... Aine-chan?

Su Shi looked at Xiangzi, her eyes full of tenderness: "Long time no see, Xiaoxiang."

Without a moment's hesitation, Xiangzi turned around and wanted to escape from this dangerous place.

At this time, Su Shi had already put the matter of questioning Aine behind her. She had only one thought in her mind - to have a good talk with Xiangzi.

She runs away, she chases.

"Wait! Xiaoxiang, Ounegai, I have something to tell you."

Although Su Shi's voice was filled with urgency, Xiangzi did not turn around, and his tone was terribly deep: "I have nothing to say to you."

"I've been looking for you."

All Su Shi got from begging was Xiangzi's cold back.

"Why did you transfer schools?"

Su Shi's words finally stopped Xiangzi in his tracks.

"Is the reason Crychic?"

"It has nothing to do with Crychic." Xiangzi glanced back at Su Shi with her cold eyes. Seeing her sad look, Xiangzi's face did not change. "Don't come to me again in the future."

These cold words and the knife-like look pierced Su Shi's heart. She stopped involuntarily and looked at Xiangzi's back as he walked away, feeling an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

Why? We were so close before, and you also said that we are a community with a shared destiny of playing music together. Have you forgotten all this?

On the empty street, Su Shi was left alone.

As she was traveling through the past in the secular world, a cell phone ringing woke her up from her own world.

I took out my phone and saw a message from Aine.

[Aine: Suyo-san, where are you now? Rikki said the song is ready, we're waiting for you at RiNG.]

Su Shi clicked on it indifferently and began tapping the screen with one hand.

[Su Shi: Yeah, I got it. Please let Aine know. I'm on my way and will be there soon.]

After sending this message, Su Shi put her phone into her bag.

On the other side of the sky, the rosy glow had already enveloped the earth, but it was not known whether it was intentional or not, the light seemed to exclude the world, and only under her feet was there still a shadow.

It was at this moment that the city opened its eyes as if waking up, and a street lamp lit up above Su Shi's head, dispelling the darkness under her feet.

Su Shi put away her heavy heart, put on the mask used to disguise herself, and walked towards RiNG.

When Su Shi arrived at RiNG's rehearsal room, the three were already waiting for her.
