After hearing Aine's explanation, Su Shi fell silent. After a long moment, she released Aine's wrist. "Is that so? After all, Doctor Yamada also said that you still need to stretch your muscles."

The meaning of Su Shi's words was obvious, and Aine naturally heard it. She raised her head, a little surprised: "Will Soyorin blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?" Su Shi turned her face away, blushing slightly. If you had told me directly... I wouldn't have refused.

I really want to tell Aine-chan directly...but, thinking about how embarrassing it would be, I'll forget it.

"That's great, soyorin, love~" Aine hugged Su Shi tightly.

"Okay, I'm not that pedantic." Su Shi gently cupped Aine's face and kissed her, "Let's go buy some drinks."

"Ah."

"What do you want to drink?"

"Mango juice."

In the evening, Aine said goodbye to everyone and returned home.

After she finished taking a shower and returned to her room, she picked up her phone and said, "By the way, I don't know if Sakki replied to the message."

When she turned on her phone, Xiangzi's reply was from ten minutes ago.

[Xiangzi: Maybe.]

[Aine: Since you grew up with Mumu, you should know a lot, right?]

As soon as Aiyin sent the message, it instantly changed to "read" on her screen.

[Xiangzi: Her parents have pretty high expectations of her, considering Mu's status.]

[Xiangzi: Let’s talk in person tomorrow. Typing here doesn’t make it clear enough.]

[Aine: Yeah.]

……

The next day, during lunch break, we went to the deserted path in Yuqiu.

Da da da……

A slow sound of footsteps came from the other side of the path. Xiangzi was holding a lunch box. She turned her head and it was indeed Aiyin.

"Xiao Ai." Xiangzi raised his hand and greeted her.

"Yeah, Sakki." Aine sat next to Xiangzi, she also had a lunch box in her hand.

Xiangzi didn't say anything else, but went straight to the point: "Speaking of which, Xiaoai, why did you suddenly think of telling me this?"

"Because when I was chatting with Soyorin yesterday, she happened to mention that Mumu's guitar skills were very strong. When I heard that, I remembered that Xiaolena said that Mumu's guitar skills still had some shortcomings, but Mumu had clearly said before that she had found her goal... So I wondered why Mumu was like this."

"Is that so?" Xiangzi lowered his head in thought. "But... when I heard Mu's guitar playing, it seemed all right. There was nothing strange about it."

"That's what she said." Aiyin took a piece of meat from Xiangzi's lunch box and put it in her mouth. "After all, Lena-chan is very powerful, so I believe what she said."

Xiangzi nodded: "Then what do you want to do?"

The wind blew the leaves on the trees, making a rustling sound, and a few rays of sunlight fell on them through the gaps between the swaying leaves.

"Me..." Aine raised her head and looked at the green leaves. "Mumu's parents probably don't know about our relationship right now, right? If I suddenly came over and declared that I was your daughter's girlfriend, wouldn't you be rude to Mumu like that?"

Hearing this, Xiangzi covered his mouth and chuckled: "Indeed, Mu hasn't told her parents about your relationship yet."

“If they really said that, they’d sink me in Tokyo Bay.” Aine said jokingly.

"No, you have the Toyokawa family behind you, nothing will happen to you."

"Just kidding." Aine felt a warm feeling in her heart and continued to ask, "By the way, what are Mumu's parents like? I've talked to her before, but all that... is just my guess."

Xiangzi rubbed his chin with his hand. "What kind of person is he? In my impression, he is a person who likes to laugh."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah." Xiangzi nodded. "How did Xiao Ai negotiate peacefully before?"

“Uh…” Aine’s face froze, and she scratched the back of her head. “It’s just that Mumu was saying that some parents are extremely strict with their children, and some use emotional blackmail on them.”

Xiangzi's mouth twitched, and the scene of Mu lowering his head and listening to Aiyin's lecture seemed to appear in front of him: "When did this happen?"

"I've only known Mumu for a short time..."

"It's a shame, Xiao Ai, that you can bring yourself to say that." Xiangzi sighed. "It's not nice to casually talk about other people's family affairs."

In Xiangzi's impression, Aine's emotional intelligence is higher than that of everyone she knows. She finds it hard to imagine that Aine would say such words to someone she has just met for a short time.

“I… I know.” Aine’s face flushed crimson. She lowered her head and pouted. “Because… seeing Mumu’s expression at the time, I acted impulsively. By the time I realized it… I had already said it.”

"Really? It's a good thing it was Mu." Xiangzi shook his head. "If it was Rikki, she would have attacked you at that time."

"probably."

Chapter 235 Conversation at the Su Family

Since things happened suddenly, Xiangzi decided to confirm Aiyin's thoughts again: "Xiao Ai, are you really determined to take care of Mu's family affairs?"

Aine nodded. "Well, after all, this is also for Mumu... Uh, if I just talk to myself like this, won't it make me feel superior?"

Xiangzi looked at Aiyin's face, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "I feel okay. After all, you are considering Mu."

After a pause, Xiangzi continued, "It's for Mu's mental health, and also for the perfect performance on the subsequent tour."

"But, Sakki, there's no direct evidence to prove that it's Mumu's family reasons, right?"

Seeing Aiyin's hesitation, Xiangzi gently held Aiyin's hand: "Indeed, although there is no direct evidence to prove that it is due to Mu's family, but... the reason is also very obvious to us."

"Then...call Mumu out after school today?"

"can."

……

On the tram, Su Shi looked speechlessly at the three girls sitting next to her: Aine, Xiangzi and Mu.

Su Shi's mouth twitched: "So...you want to talk to Xiao Mu about something, so you plan to go to my house?"

Xiangzi nodded: "Su Shi, please."

"But...a coffee shop is fine too." Su Shi crossed his arms over his chest, his face still speechless.

Xiangzi lowered his head and said, "Because what I want to talk about is family matters...I don't think it's appropriate to say it in public."

"There aren't many people in the park, so that's OK, right?"

“Soyorin…” Aine gently grabbed Sushi’s hand and shook it. At the same time, she raised her head and blinked at Sushi, “Because home is more comfortable than outside.”

Seeing Aiyin like this, Sushi's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned her face away and sighed: "Just this once. After all, my house is not a place for meetings."

"I love you, soyorin is the best." Aiyin hugged Sushi gently and rubbed against her arms affectionately.

"Okay, Aine-chan, stop being so ungrateful now that you've gotten the advantage." Su Shi symbolically pushed Aine, but as expected, it didn't work.

Aiyin raised her head and grinned at Sushi: "If you don't behave after getting a bargain, what else can you sell?"

"Really?" Su Shi shook his head slightly at Aine's excessive advances, but didn't say anything else.

Mu lowered his head: "Sorry to disturb Su Shi."

"It's okay, Xiao Mu."

Xiangzi put his hand to his mouth and smiled wickedly: "Sure enough, in Su Shi's place, Xiao Ai's words are more effective."

Su Shi turned his head to the side and replied in a calm tone: "Nothing."

When the tram arrived at the station, Xiangzi and Mu followed Su Shi and Aine to the big mansion overlooking the sea and the river.

"This is my first time at Su Shi's house." Xiangzi looked around. From the walls to the sofa, from the sofa to the French windows, it was very different from his own home. "It's so spacious. Could Su Shi be living here alone?"

"It's the same question as Aine-chan asked before." Suye took out some black tea and prepared to treat the three of them. "I live with my mother, but Aine-chan also comes to stay sometimes."

Hearing this, Xiangzi's face froze, and she sat aside with a pout, her eyes wandering over the other three people.

Indeed... Xiao Ai has lived in both Su Shi and He Mu's homes, but she hasn't been to my house yet...

After Su Shi finished brewing the tea, she glanced at Mu, who was sitting on the sofa with a stiff expression on his face. "Why don't you start chatting? The sun will set soon."

Aine and Shoko looked at each other and nodded.

Then, Aiyin looked at Mu and said, "Mumu, when you were at a live with the other members of Mygo before, were you still a little unconfident and unfree when playing the guitar?"

"Eh?" Mu raised his head and looked at Aine blankly.

This afternoon, Aine sent her a message saying that Xiangzi and Aine wanted to discuss something with her after school, but she didn't expect it to suddenly bring up this.

After a moment of hesitation, Mu lowered his head: "I...I don't know."

"I asked Lenai-chan, and she said she feels the same way about your guitar playing." Aine continued, "Actually, I can understand your lack of confidence. After all, it's only been a short time since you decided on your goal, and I don't know if it will be a long-term goal... But you're not free, Mumu..."

Mu didn't answer, her body trembling slightly.

"When we first met, we talked about some obscure topics... But at that time, I only gave you a general idea, and I didn't even have a rough idea of ​​your parents..." At this point, Aine gently grabbed Mu's hand, as if wanting to encourage her, "Mumu, is your lack of confidence because...?"

Aine didn't finish her words, and she didn't need to. Her words were clear enough for Mu to understand.

Su Shi, who was listening, took a sip of her tea and said, "Ain-chan, you're just saying it directly like that? Can Xiao Mu accept it?"

"Yeah." Mu responded after a long time. She nodded and responded to Su Shi's words, "As for Aine-chan...it's okay."

After responding to Su Shi, Mu slowly raised his head and looked at Aine: "Aine-chan..."

Mu's expression was hesitant. When she felt her hand being held tightly by Aine again, she was slightly stunned and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"That's what I said, right?"

Mu nodded, confirming Aine's thoughts.

"But Mumu, I also told you at the time that you don't belong to anyone else. You are you. If Ye Mu doesn't like something, it would be better if you could speak out."

"Aine-chan... I... I can't say it." Mu lowered her head, a tear swirling in her eyes.

Xiangzi clenched his fists: "Then...what about Metis? Can Metis help?"

"No way." Ruoye Mu shook his head. "Even if you asked me to talk to Xiaomu's parents on her behalf, even if her parents truly admitted their mistakes and changed their ways, Xiaomu would probably still have a grudge. After all, it wasn't her who said it herself."

Ruoye Mu spread his hands and said, "Besides, it's Xiaomu who plays the guitar, and I can't, so... it will still affect Xiaomu."

"Is that so..." Xiangzi lowered his head, looking a little lost.

She originally thought that with the help of Metis's ability, she could help Mu overcome this difficulty, but she didn't expect that in the end she could only rely on Mu himself, which was a difficult situation.

Xiangzi knew Mu's character very well. Mu's parents had made Mu like this. It would be too difficult for Mu to communicate with her parents on her own.

After Mortis returned control of her body to Mu, she lowered her head guiltily: "I'm sorry, Xiangzi."

"Mu, you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault." Xiangzi hurriedly straightened Mu.

"Mumu can't bring herself to say it, and that's really bothering me." Aine sighed, "It would definitely be better if your parents knew what you're thinking, right?"

"Not necessarily." Su Shi shook his head, "It might also arouse the parents' stronger desire for control."

Chapter 236 Going to Ruoye's House

"Aine-chan... I... can't say it." Mu lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, "If I say it... Minami-chan..."

"Minami-chan?" Hearing this name, Aine was stunned. She had never heard a child call their mother by her name. "Why would Mumu call her mother by her name?"

Hearing this, Xiangzi nodded and said, "Indeed, we have been playing together since we were young, but I have never asked about this."

"Because..." Mu's breathing became heavy, "Because..."

Aiyin noticed Mu's sudden change immediately. She hugged her gently, stroked her long light green hair, and whispered to her in a soothing voice, "It's okay, Mumu. If you don't want to talk, no one will force you to tell me."

Seeing this, Xiangzi also bowed his head and apologized: "Mu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said so much."

Mu took a few deep breaths, then she gently hugged Aine and buried her head in Aine's neck, as if this would make her feel better.

The two of them hugged each other like this. Not long after, Mu raised his head and said, "It's okay, Xiangzi."

"Okay, Xiao Mu, have some black tea to lighten your mood."

Looking at the black tea that Su Shi handed over, Mu felt warm in her heart. She let go of Ai Yin and took the black tea, took a sip and placed it on the table. "Lu Yiqi..."

At this moment, Mu's mood finally returned to normal. She glanced at the three of them and said, "I'm sorry... I made you worry... Because Minami-chan said that when there are outsiders, you should call her by her name, and only call her mother when you are alone."

“Huh?” Aine was stunned. “Why did you do that on purpose?”

"Because...Mina...Mother said that this way she would look younger and cuter in front of outsiders."

Su Shi asked the question in her heart: "Does this mean that she is not truly prepared to be a mother?"
