"Sorry, sorry, I had something to do today, so I'm late."

"Eh? Urgent? Is Sushi-san alright?"

"It's okay, I'm done." Su Shi shook her head, a smile still on her lips. When she turned her gaze to Li Xi, she was a little puzzled, "Did Li Xi go home specially to change clothes?"

"I skipped class today."

Hearing this, Su Shi was a little surprised: "Eh, from school?"

Aine gave a wicked smile: "What? Rikki is a total bad girl."

Ignoring Aine's joke, Li Xi took out his phone and said, "I'll play the song for you."

Chapter 21: Quick Thinking

The accompaniment of "Walking with the Blue Sky" ended soon.

Aine was a little surprised: "I didn't expect it to be a song."

Li Xi looked at Deng hesitantly: "Deng, how do you feel?"

"very gentle."

Aiyin put the guitar aside: "Does that mean it's good?"

"Yeah." Deng nodded, then looked at Lixi again, as if to assure Lixi, "I will do my best."

Hearing this, Li Xi finally smiled, and the fatigue in his heart disappeared.

"Hey, Rikki, this song is quite suitable for my speed. I wonder if Rikki made it like this especially for me."

Li Xi pushed Ai Yin away and said unhappily, "You know you're not fast enough, so why don't you practice faster? Besides, if you suddenly play a heavy metal tune on stage..."

Although Li Xi didn't continue speaking, Ai Yin knew what she wanted to say.

"Well, Rikki, no, I know what I'm doing."

"You'd better." Li Xi passed the music score to everyone present through his mobile phone, "Here is the music score, everyone practice it."

Aine kept scrolling the screen. "Huh? Just chords? Nothing else?"

"It's enough to have the chords. Then you can just play them according to the sound."

Aiyin looked at Riki a little embarrassedly: "Huh? Isn't there something that says how to press your fingers?"

Su Shi asked, "Are you referring to tablature? Li Xi, is there no way to quickly write one on the computer?"

Li Xi turned his head away: "No way."

Aine sighed. “I should be able to play it this way, but I don’t have much confidence without that.”

click!

"it's here."

The door of the room was pushed open and Lenai walked in with his guitar.

Li Xi was a little surprised: "Wild cat!"

When Aine saw Lenna, she frowned slightly and felt a little worried, and this scene was naturally seen by Su Shi who was beside her.

Lenai walked straight to Lixi's side and looked down at Lixi's music score: "I want to play together too."

Hearing this, Li Xi felt his head was about to explode: "We talked about forming a band before, so if you want to play, you should practice every day. Besides, since I don't know if you can come today, I haven't prepared your sheet music."

"It's okay, I want to play."

After taking a quick look at Lixi's music score, Lenai walked aside and began to play his own music.

The amazing guitar skills once again shocked everyone present.

Li Xi was stunned. "Really? I'm going to add this to what I just wrote and rewrite it. Wildcat, remember to report in every day."

When the practice time was over, Lenai disappeared again, and Deng and Riki were ready to take the same train home again, although Riki was not going that way.

At the door of RiNG, watching Li Xi and Deng leave, Su Shi looked at Ai Yin gently: "By the way, Ai Yin, can you walk with me?"

“Eh?” Aine didn’t expect Sushi to invite her. She smiled and said, “Sure, Sushi-san.”

"Then let's go for a walk." Su Shi looked at Aine with a smile, "Is there any place you want to go, Aine?"

"Yes, come on, Su Shi-san, I'll take you there."

"Okay."

Aiyin walked in front and Su Shi followed behind. At this moment, the smile on Su Shi's face was gone, replaced by calmness and curiosity.

Chihaya Aine, what kind of magic power do you have to be able to turn Xiaomu into that?

Well, no matter what magic you have, after this live is over, we will go our separate ways and live in our own worlds from now on, without interfering with each other.

Of course, before that, let me see your "magic" first.

Aine, who was walking in front, suddenly turned her head and said, "By the way, why did Suyo-san suddenly think of inviting me?"

Su Shi reacted quickly, and the moment Aine turned her head away, she resumed her fake smile. “It just occurred to me that we haven’t communicated much, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to get to know each other better.”

"Oh, I see. Come to think of it, it seems we don't have much time to communicate."

On the hazy city streets at night, lights flicker like stars falling into the earth.

Aiyin stood in front of Su Shi, her eyes revealing surprise and envy that were difficult to conceal.

Su Shi was wearing the Tsuki no Mori school uniform, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind like the wings of a dancing butterfly. Her every move was full of elegance, and her long chestnut hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind, with the light of street lamps flickering between her hair.

"I feel like Sushi-san looks unusually good-looking today."

The sudden praise interrupted Su Shi's well-organized thoughts. Because it happened suddenly, Su Shi just said "eh", and the initiative of speaking returned to Aine again.

"Hey, Sushi-san, look here."

"Eh?" Before Su Shi could react, a crisp "click" sound came into her ears.

Seeing the pink-haired girl showing a smug smile, Su Shi couldn't help but frowned: "Did you take a picture of me?"

"Yeah, hey, Su Shi-san, do you think it looks good?" Aine handed the photo she had just taken with her mobile phone to Su Shi.

Su Shi looked at her in the photo, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed. What the hell is this photo of? Does this guy really have a talent for photography?

This photo of Aiyin perfectly captured Su Shi's carefree expression. Her eyes were slightly hazy, with a hint of doubt hanging on the corner of her mouth. She looked as if she was in a dream, with a dazed feeling.

"Uh... hehe..." Su Shi laughed awkwardly, "Looks good, looks ...

"Really? Then I'll send it to you."

Before Su Shi could say anything, her cell phone rang. It was no wonder that Ai Yin sent her the photo.

Su Shi suppressed her inner speechlessness and anger and asked, "By the way, Aiyin, how long have you and Xiaomu known each other?"

"Eh?"

Aine, who was originally very mischievous, suddenly became quiet. Finally, the two of them arrived at the place Aine had mentioned before - the small river, the small river where Aine had stayed in harmony.

At this moment, Aine's brain was thinking rapidly.

Huh? What does Sushi mean by that? She already knows about Xiaomu and me? How did she know? What about Sakki and me? Sushi didn't say anything, so she probably doesn't know about Sakki and me...

Since classmate Su Shi has asked this, what should I do? Should I answer truthfully?

But what if classmate Su Shi doesn’t know the relationship between Xiao Mu and me, and she just asked casually?

Seeing Aiyin hesitating, Sushi narrowed her eyes slightly: "Ainyin, Xiaomu told me everything."

Hearing this, Aine's body stiffened, and at this moment, the speed of her brain processing reached an unprecedented peak.

Huh? Everything? Does that include the matter with Sakki?

But Xiaomu is not that kind of person... No, what if Xiaomu and Sushi have a good relationship? After all, I have only known Xiaomu for a few days, but she and Sushi... have known each other for a long time.

But Xiaomu couldn't possibly betray Sakki, after all, Sakki told me that she and Xiaomu were childhood sweethearts.

Maybe Su Shi only knows about the relationship between Xiao Mu and me. If she also knows about Sakki, why doesn't she just say Sakki's name directly?

Chapter 22 Pulling

Seeing that Aine still didn't answer, Su Shi smiled and said, "Aine is amazing to be able to turn Xiao Mu into this."

It seems that Su Shi-san really knows about Xiao Mu and I. However, Su Shi-san is also Xiao Mu's friend, and she is so gentle and understanding. It wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't involve Sakki and only admitted the matter to her, right?

Aiyin looked a little hesitant, and after a long sigh, she finally spoke: "Xiao Mu and I haven't known each other for long."

Seeing the fish take the bait, Su Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now that she had let go, it would be easy to get the rest of the story out. "By the way, Aiyin, I asked Xiaomu about you and her earlier, but you know Xiaomu doesn't like to communicate with others, so her words were too concise. Could you please repeat it to me again?"

What does this mean? Is Xiaomu's words too concise? Wouldn't that make it easier to understand? I'm talking to Xiaomu now, and she doesn't say much, but I understand her perfectly. Why does she have to ask me to repeat it again?

Su Shi isn't really lying to me, is she? Could it be that she doesn't actually know about Xiao Mu and I? But she's such a gentle person, could she really lie?

Well, in that case, just say a few words and see how she reacts.

"Actually, there's nothing special going on between Xiao Mu and me. I just ran into her when she was meeting her friends a few days ago, and then I suddenly remembered that Su Shi had shown me Crychic's video, so I said hello and then we started chatting."

Hearing this, Su Shi couldn't help but play with her long hair and began to think in her mind.

Is it really as simple as Aine said? However, based on what Aine said, it does make sense. A few days ago, Xiaomu did tell me that she had something to do and had to leave first. It turned out that she was going to meet a friend. She must have been going to see Xiaoxiang...

Thinking of this, Su Shi looked at the girl in front of him again, his eyes full of calculation.

As for Aiyin, she is indeed a very outgoing girl. Although it was unexpected that she started chatting with Xiaomu, it was also reasonable... After all, she became so familiar with Xiaodeng in just a few days.

"Did you meet the friend Xiao Mu wanted to meet?"

"There were two other people there besides Xiao Mu. Which friend of Xiao Mu is Su Shi referring to?"

When Aiyin said this, she was extremely nervous, but her face remained calm, for fear that Su Shi would see her inner anxiety.

Su Shi, who was standing aside, was also full of doubts, but he did not show it on the surface.

Two people? Is there someone else besides Xiaoxiang that Xiaomu wants to see? Does Xiaomu have other friends? Why haven't I heard her mention them?

Or... was Aine lying to me? Had she already figured out I was lying to her and was deliberately setting a trap for me?

But Su Shi reacted quickly, her dress a little angry: "Aine, didn't I say before that Xiao Mu's account of the process was too brief? She didn't explain some details clearly."

A glint flashed in Aine's eyes, "Is that so? Sorry, Suyo-kun."

"Then do you remember what Xiao Mu's two friends look like?"

"I remember they were all wearing Haneda's school uniforms."

Upon hearing this, Su Shi was roughly certain that one of them was Xiangzi, but she was not sure about the other one.

Who could that person be? Why is she so close to Xiaomu and Xiaoxiang? Is it because of her that Xiaoxiang refuses to return to Crychic?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Su Shi immediately threw it away.

Alas, I started to think about Xiaoxiang unconsciously again. The most important thing now is to ask her what she said to Xiaomu tomorrow.

"Then what did you say to Xiao Mu at that time, Aiyin? You know, Xiao Mu and I are also good friends. I also want to learn from your words and slowly change Xiao Mu."

Eh? Is Su Shi asking me this just to communicate with Xiao Mu? I feel really sorry for her, after all, I've always been so wary of her.

  Seeing Aiyin deep in thought, Su Shi raised a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. Just have a heartfelt conversation with Xiaomu."

???

Huh? Just talk to me with sincerity and genuine feelings? Chihaya Aine, are you just trying to be polite?

Although she was still complaining in her heart, Su Shi's tone was still gentle: "Eh? Is that true? It turns out that Aine is a child who understands people's hearts very well."

Aiyin was a little embarrassed: "No."

"Then could Aine tell me a few words about what she said to Mu-chan? I can use them as a reference."

"Let me think... I should tell Xiao Mu that she doesn't belong to anyone else. She doesn't need to compromise herself to please others. She only belongs to herself."

Silence spread between the two of them.

There is no need to compromise yourself to please others, you only belong to yourself?

What kind of perverse logic is this? Impossible, Chihaya Aine, what you said... is simply not true!

Ain's words echoed in Su Shi's ears for a long time. Although Su Shi denied what Ain had just said in her heart, she still couldn't help but put herself in the situation.

Doing things that make others happy? Am I?

Thinking of this, the blue figure appeared in Su Shi's mind.
