"Get used to it..." Su Shi muttered to himself.
jingle.
The copper bell at the door rang again, and Chu Hua walked in with her head lowered. She glanced at the two people sitting by the window inconspicuously, and chose a seat farthest away from them to sit down.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Chu Hua took a book from the heavy bookshelf next to him and secretly observed the two of them under the pretext of reading.
Xiao Ai couldn't really have some unclear relationship with the bassist of their band... If that was really the case... then Xiao Xiang...
"You two, your hot Earl Grey tea."
Su Shi nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
"Please enjoy."
After the waiter left, Sushi reached out and took Aine's left hand: "Aine-chan, how does your hand feel?"
“Not very good.” Aine shook her head, her voice a little low, “I still don’t have much strength. I can’t even hold it tightly.”
Su Shi's eyes darkened when she heard this. She gently stroked Aine's left hand and bit her lower lip. "Then...what about Dr. Yamada? Did he say anything?"
"Dr. Yamada just said to do the ASO intrathecal injection and cytokine storm test as usual, and not to forget to take your medicine."
"Is that so?" Su Shi nodded. The surgery notice seemed to be a long way off... Dr. Yamada said it would take at least a year... Could Xiao Ai really wait that long? There shouldn't be any special circumstances in between, right?
I hope...
Chu Hua, who was pretending to read a book next to him, froze when he saw Su Shi suddenly grab Ai Yin's hand and caress it.
No, huh? This bassist isn't pretending anymore? So direct? He just took Xiao Ai's hand and started caressing it... Is that right? Looking at Xiao Ai, she didn't seem to be disgusted. Is this really the kind of person she is?
For a moment, Chuhua remembered how she had compared herself to Aine in the rental house before, and now, she suddenly felt relieved.
So Xiao Ai is this kind of person... She's actually so affectionate with other girls behind Xiao Xiang's back. Compared to Xiao Ai, my character is even worse.
Now, Chu Hua is somewhat certain of his previous guess: Xiao Ai does have some shameful secrets.
Chuhua frowned and looked at Aiyin. As expected, no one is perfect. I said Xiaoai couldn't be so perfect.
But then again...is it possible that I'm misunderstanding something?
Chu Hua lowered her head in thought. After all, Xiao Ai was actually very gentle to everyone, but was she even more gentle to Xiao Xiang? Based on the Xiao Ai I knew, she wouldn't do such a thing, right?
Even if I tell Xiaoxiang this, without solid evidence...will Xiaoxiang think I'm ruining their relationship again? I clearly don't want to cause them any more trouble...
Well... I'll wait until I've investigated it thoroughly before telling Xiaoxiang. Although I said I don't want to cause any more trouble for them, but... I still don't want Xiaoxiang to get hurt.
At this moment, the coffee she ordered was finally ready. She took a sip and thought, "Hmm, it's delicious."
At the same time, Su Shi let go of Aine's hand and gave her a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Ai. Yue Yi Qi Er San Lin () Si) Jiu Qi Shan Yin-chan, drink some black tea, try the black tea here."
“Yeah.” Aine smiled again and nodded, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, have some black tea.”
However, even though Aine said this on the surface, she still felt uncomfortable inside.
Dr. Yamada didn't have any good solution. All he could do was to delay as much as possible... After the animal experiments were completed, he would have to wait for approval before he could participate in human clinical trials as a volunteer.
Can I... hold on until then? Even if I can, then... what will I be like by then? I'll probably be lying in bed, unable to move, needing someone to take care of me...
Thinking of this, Aine's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. That look... was so scary. Would I really become like that?
Su Shi noticed that something was wrong with Aine, she put down her teacup and called softly, "Aine-chan?"
“Hmm?” Aine came back to her senses and shook her head. “Sorry, I was thinking.”
"Thinking about something?" Su Shi blinked. She was probably thinking about ALS. Although Aine-chan seemed to be indifferent to the disease now, she must be very scared inside.
Su Shi held Aine's hand again: "Aine-chan, I'll stay with you. After we finish our tea, let's go to the gallery to see the exhibition, how about that?"
"Soyorin..." Aine naturally understood the meaning of Su Shi's words. She smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay."
Chapter 233 Shocking Wisdom
Sunday, Sushijia.
Aine was still lying on the big sofa in the Sushi family as usual.
Su Shi came out of the kitchen with a cup of black tea in her hand. After she placed the tea in front of Aine, she sat down next to Aine: "Aine-chan, have you finished your report?"
"I've finished writing it." Aine nodded, her eyes not leaving the phone.
"Knock you, meow, meow..."
Hearing this, Sushi knew what Aine was doing: "Watching Meowmu's videos again?"
Aine nodded: "Sodayo."
Su Shi gently stirred the scalding black tea for Aine: "I'm going to RiNG rehearsal this afternoon, Aine-chan, would you like to come with me?"
"Sure, but, Mumu doesn't have time to go, right?" Aine put down her phone and moved her eyes to Su Shi's face.
That's right, Su Shi nodded.
Due to the tour, Mu didn't have time to rehearse with them. However, it didn't matter much if they didn't take Mu to rehearsal, because Mu's skills were already there, and apart from the occasional self-doubt, there was no other problem.
"It's okay, Xiaomu's skills don't require any training." Su Shi smiled.
“Indeed.” Aine nodded. “Mumu’s skills are truly amazing. I’m so envious.”
Aiyin lay flat on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling. The scene of herself asking Mu to teach her guitar emerged in her mind again. Gradually, the scene turned into Mu rehearsing with the other members of Mygo.
When Lenai said Mumu's guitar was getting better, that meant there were still some shortcomings. Why? Didn't Mumu say he already had a goal?
After thinking about it for a long time, Aiyin still couldn't figure it out. She sighed in her heart and said to herself: Forget it, I'll ask Xiao Lenai when I see her in the afternoon.
Afternoon, RiNG rehearsal room.
By the time Aiyin and Sushi arrived, the other three had already been waiting for a long time.
"Sushi, you're so slow." Li Xi sat in front of the drum set, pointing at Lenai with a helpless look on his face, "Wildcat got here earlier than you."
"Sorry, I missed the train and have to wait for the next one." Su Shi smiled and took out his bass. "What are you going to practice today?"
"Practice them all."
Su Shi was stunned: "All?"
"Yeah." Li Xi nodded, "Let's consolidate our efforts today."
"That's it."
As the two chatted, Aine pulled Lenai aside and said, "By the way, Lenai, how do you feel about Mumu's guitar now?"
"Now?" Le Nai tilted her head, her strange-colored eyes scanning the rehearsal room. "Not here."
Aine's mouth twitched, and she quickly shook her head: "No, it was during the live performance back then. How did it feel?"
"Not bad," Lenai replied expressionlessly, "better than in the previous rehearsal."
"Then... Mumu, what other questions do you have?" As she said that, Aine took out a matcha candy from her pocket and fed it to Lenai.
Click, click, click.
After chewing and swallowing the candy, Lenai smiled happily: "Lack of confidence, lack of freedom."
“Lack of confidence and freedom?”
Aine could understand the word "lack of confidence", but she couldn't figure out the reason for "lack of freedom".
"Not free?" Su Shi walked over to Aine, "Why would Lenna say that?"
Aine was startled by Su Shi's sudden appearance beside her. She turned around and saw that the other three had stopped talking at some point and were just looking at her and Lenai quietly.
"Feeling." Lenai looked at Su Shi in confusion, "Su Shi... can't you feel it? It's very clear."
Su Shi looked away: "I can't feel it."
How could a normal person possibly feel this? Rather, this kind of thing is only clear to Le Nai... and besides, I'm the bassist.
“Is that so…” Lena blinked and continued to focus her gaze on Aine, “Aine, you still want it.”
"Okay." Aine took out another candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Lenai's mouth.
Li Xi suddenly asked, "Is it because of your family's expectations that you are not free?"
What are your family’s expectations?
Aine turned her head to look at Riki, her eyes suddenly shining, "That's right, she and Mumu had talked about... her family before."
Because of the special status of her parents, she has always been the focus of attention, and every step she chooses will cause huge backlash, so... Lenai would say that Mumu's guitar reveals "unfreedom".
But... this is someone else's family affair after all... I, as an outsider, can't interfere, right? Maybe... I can ask Sakki later?
When this thought came to her mind, Aine immediately took out her cell phone.
[Aine: Um, Sakki, I want to tell you something. I just asked Lenai, and she said that during the previous live, Mumu's guitar playing was a little unsure and unfree. Do you think it could be related to Mumu's experience?]
Aine typed on the screen, typing and deleting, deleting and typing again, but in the end she still couldn't find any more tactful words.
After a moment, the message on the phone was still unread. Aine pouted and thought to herself: Look at the moon/ripple-Qi Erqian Mio Jiuqi]IV, Sakki is busy.
Deng looked at Aine, whose mood was changing obviously, and couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Aine-chan?"
"Uh, nothing." Aine shook her head, "You guys go rehearse."
Su Shi seemed to see through Aine's worries. She clapped her hands gently and said, "Then everyone, let's rehearse."
Hearing this, Li Xi knocked his drumstick: "Wildcat, go back to your seat and prepare for rehearsal."
"Ah."
After rehearsing a few songs, Su Shi put down the bass in his hand, picked up the water he had bought in advance and took a sip: "By the way, Xiao Deng, you said in the group yesterday that you wanted to write lyrics. You will rehearse again today. What about your Osaka tourist attraction report?"
When Su Shi said this, the smile on Aine’s face froze.
"Hmm? An Osaka tourist attraction report?" Deng blinked, looking puzzled. "What's that?"
"It's your school homework." Su Shi continued to explain, "Did you forget it?"
Deng shook his head: "But...we don't have any homework at school this week."
"Oh, I see." Su Shi nodded, a smile on her face, "Maybe I got it mixed up."
Based on Aine's various behaviors and Deng's words, combined with Su Shi's amazing wisdom, she already knew that Aine was lying to her about going to Osaka.
But... why did Aine-chan deliberately lie to me? Was she afraid that I would reject her request?
Su Shi turned her head and looked at Aine who was trying to escape in the corner.
Without much hesitation, Su Shi walked over to Aine with a smile on her face and gently grabbed Aine's shoulder with one hand: "Aine-chan, where are you going?"
Aiyin turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Uh, well... I just wanted to go downstairs to buy some drinks."
"I see." Su Shi nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "So Aine-chan is thirsty. Then let's go together. I happen to be thirsty too."
Chapter 234 Speechless Xiangzi
There was no other way, so Aiyin had to go outside with Su Shi.
After Su Shigang walked out and closed the door of the rehearsal room, when the two of them reached the end of the corridor, she grabbed Ain's right wrist and pushed Ain against the wall. She slapped the wall with her other hand to block Ain's escape route.
"Aine-chan~" Su Shi's murmur suddenly became louder and entered Aine's ears bit by bit.
Hearing the trembling shouts, Aiyin shuddered, Buhao! Soyorin is opening the clamp!
"Did you hear what Xiao Deng said just now?"
Looking at Su Shi's dangerous smile, Aine swallowed her saliva. It looked like Soyorin might eat me up at any moment! No, I can't just sit there and wait for death!
Aine forced a smile: “No.”
"I see, so you didn't hear it." Su Shi showed a trace of regret, "What a pity, I didn't expect Aine-chan didn't hear it."
Changing the subject, Su Shi raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "But... I'm glad I heard it."
"Soyorin... calm down."
Because Aine's right hand was firmly grasped by Su Shi, she could only push Su Shi with her left hand, but how could Su Shi not know that Aine would resist?
So she grabbed Aine's right hand, which was stronger. As for Aine's left hand, she couldn't exert much strength at all.
As Su Shi expected, Aine pushed Su Shi with her left hand, but Su Shi couldn't feel much strength at all: "Aine-chan, be good, you still have one chance."
“I… I heard it.” Aiyin lowered her head, like a child admitting her mistake.
Seeing this, Su Shi gently stroked Aine's head: "That's good, then...what excuse are you going to make for lying to me this time?"
"I... want to go out with Soyorin, but I'm afraid you'll say something about my illness again, so..." Aine's voice became smaller and smaller, but in the quiet atmosphere between the two of them, even Soyo could hear it.
