No, no! I'm not! I do all this for Crychic, for everyone! I really value you all and love you all! That's why...

"Sushi-san?" Aine looked at Sushi's slightly trembling body, feeling a little worried. "Are you okay?"

She slowly reached out her hand towards Su Shi, but Su Shi suddenly retreated to avoid Aine's concern, and hurriedly left a sentence "I still have something to do" and fled.

“Eh?” Aiyin looked at Su Shi’s back in confusion. Why did it feel like Su Shi had suddenly become a different person? I didn’t think I had said anything excessive…

Well, my discussion with Sushi tonight should be okay. I didn’t betray Sakki, nor did I deceive Sushi.

Thinking of this, the corners of Aine's mouth gradually curved up. It seems that my emotional intelligence is quite high.

After returning home, Aine lay on the sofa with a tired look on her face. The chat with classmate Su Shi tonight was so exciting. I have never had such a hard time taking the IELTS before.

"jingle".

"Huh? Xiao Mu? Why did she suddenly send me a message? Is it because of what happened today?"

Aiyin clicked into the chat box, and Mu's messages popped up one after another. In a short while, they filled up Aiyin's phone screen.

[Mu: I’m sorry, Aine.]

[Mu: I messed up again.]

[Mu: I thought I could open up to Su Shi...]

[Mu: But...]

[Mu: I'm sorry, Aine, I failed to live up to your expectations.]

[Mu: Perhaps, quietness is my destiny.]

[Mu: Su Shi, she should have looked for you.]

Looking at Mu's messages one after another, Aiyin couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She never expected that little Mu would one day be as depressed as Xiao Deng.

But despite being surprised, Aine quickly responded to her.

Chapter 23 Mu's Gravity Field

[Aine: Xiaomu, listen to me, okay?]

On the other side of the phone, Mu, who was still tapping on the screen, suddenly stopped. She looked at Aine's words and the words "the other party is typing" at the top of the screen, and the thousands of words in her heart froze in her hands.

[Ain: Xiaomu, you have to know that no one can do something well right from the start. It's great that you dare to express your inner voice.]

Mu didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at the message that Aiyin sent him.

Really, Aine...

[Ain: Xiao Mu, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that you have taken the first step, I believe you will definitely get better and better.]

[Mu: Really, Aine-chan?]

[Ain: Yeah, don't be afraid to speak, and don't be afraid to say the wrong thing. Everyone makes mistakes, right, Xiao Mu?]

[Mu: Aine-chan, don’t you blame me? After all, if it weren’t for me, Suyo wouldn’t have known…]

[Ain: I won’t blame Xiaomu, not now, and not in the future.]

[Mu: Aiyin-chan, when Crychic disbanded, it was probably my words that became the key to pushing the band to disband.]

Aiyin was stunned. Why did Xiaomu suddenly mention that Crychic disbanded?

[Aine: Eh? What did Xiaomu say at that time?]

[Mu: I've never had fun playing in a band.]

Wow, those are some heavy words.

When Aiyin saw what Mufa said, she was completely stunned. Xiao Mu, oh my God, you have never felt happy playing in a band... I feel like this sentence can really kill your former band.

[Ain: Why does Xiaomu seem unhappy playing in a band? Oh, yeah, I remember Xiaomu liked heavy metal, right? Is it because we don't have the same musicality?]

[Mu: Maybe a little, but, at the time… I was more thinking that playing in a band wasn’t fun, but being with Xiangzi and the others was very fun.]

[Aine: Then why didn’t you say the whole thing, only the first half?]

[Mu: Because Su Shi asked me at the time, playing in a band is also fun...so...]

Aiyin blinked at what Mu said. "Oh my goodness, Mu always answers whatever I ask. He doesn't say anything more."

[Ain: Since this is Xiaomu's true words, there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, didn't Sakki already say she wanted to quit Crychic? This isn't Xiaomu's fault. Xiaomu, please stop torturing yourself.]

As Mu watched Aine say this, the image of Su Shi gradually emerged in his mind. Su Shi had also said these words... Sure enough, Aine was as gentle as the original Su Shi, but Aine... would she become the current Su Shi in the future?

Before she knew it, Mu had finished typing a message. Just as she was about to click send, she found that her words were full of abruptness, so she quickly deleted the text. But perhaps because she was unwilling to give up, she started typing again as soon as she finished deleting it.

On the other side, Aiyin looked at Mu's chat status with some confusion as it suddenly changed from typing to online, then back to typing, and then back to online.

Eh? Why didn't Xiaomu send the message I made?

[Ain: Xiao Mu? What are you typing? Why are you typing and then deleting, then deleting and typing again?]

In the deep night, Mu hid behind her cell phone, holding it tightly in her hand. The flickering light on the screen became the only source of light in her room, illuminating her pale face. Anxiety and desire tightly entangled her.

At this moment, her thoughts were like the neon lights outside the window, colorful and chaotic. On the screen were the words she had already woven, but she hesitated to press it.

Although she knew that sending this sentence would get the answer she wanted, she was also afraid.

She was afraid of the one in ten thousand or even smaller probability that the answer from the person on the other side of the screen would tear through the defenses she had worked so hard to build.

That's why Mu's fingers would wander across the screen, deleting and writing words, writing and deleting again, becoming more cautious each time.

[Ain: Xiao Mu, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to organize your words so carefully. We're friends after all.]

This sentence seemed to give Mu Wuqiong confidence, and her woven words were also sent out at this moment.

[Mu: Aine-chan, Suyo seems to be breaking down... I'm so scared that Aine will become like Suyo one day... Aine said she would always be with me, is that true...]

[Aine: Of course it’s true.]

After getting the answer he wanted, Mu's finger drifted towards the screen again.

After a series of knocking sounds, another sentence appeared on Mu's screen: Then Aine-chan, can you be my own Aine for the rest of my life?

But the next moment, Mu suddenly threw the phone in his hand onto the bed, and the message remained in the chat box and did not appear.

No, this sentence cannot be posted! You can post anything, but this one, cannot be posted!

Let's just leave it at that. It's good to keep this relationship with Aine-chan. I'm already satisfied with having a good friend.

Mu walked to the bed, picked up his phone and deleted the message.

[Mu: Yeah, thank you Aine-chan. I will continue to work hard to speak my heart out.]

[Ain: Yes, Xiaomu, I will always be behind you and support you.]

When the doll gets a heart, desire comes along with it.

Mu looked quietly at the myriad lights outside the window, and seemed to have a doubt in his mind.

Am I really satisfied with just this kind of relationship with Aine-chan? Just being good friends...is that really enough?

But, if Aine-chan really becomes Sushi now one day and wants to abandon me...what should I do?

No, Aine-chan has already promised me that she won’t, she will always be with me.

Well, no, Ruoye Mu, don't think too much. I've thought about it for a while, Aiyin-chan won't lie to you.

The next day, Aiyin and Deng came to RiNG's rehearsal room together. Su Shi and Li Xi were already waiting for them there.

Seeing Su Shi, Aine hurriedly walked up to her: "Um... Su Shi, you left suddenly yesterday... Did I say something excessive?"

Su Shi smiled and shook her head: "No, Aine is really gentle. I did have something urgent to do last night, so I went back early."

"Is it really not my problem?"

How could it not be your problem! After the Live is over, I'll find Xiao Mu and kick you out of the team. Then it won't be your problem anymore.

Su Shi was practically roaring in her heart, but she still smiled: "Well, no, Aine, don't blame yourself."

Aine breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Deng looked at the two of them with some confusion. She seemed to sense a heavy atmosphere between them: "Aine-chan, Suye, what happened to you last night...?"

Without waiting for Aine to speak, Su Shi answered directly, "Xiao Deng, after you and Li Xi left last night, I thought that Aine and I hadn't had a deep conversation yet, so I wanted to pull Aine aside to chat. But I suddenly remembered something urgent, so I left first. But Aine thought that her words hurt me, so she did this, right, Aine?"

Chapter 24: Fragmented Practice

"Ah, um." Aine looked at Sushi in confusion. Why did Sushi seem so anxious? Did she really say something that hurt her?

Also, what did Xiao Mu mean when he said that Su Shi-san was going to break down?

Really, I don't understand it at all.

"Is that so..." Deng's eyes switched back and forth between Su Shi and Aine, but she didn't say anything else.

Li Xi's sudden shout startled the three of them: "Really, what is that wild cat doing? Why hasn't it come yet?"

The next day.

At the door of RiNG, a pink-haired girl was running with a little penguin in her arms.

"Marura! Tomorin, hurry up, or you'll get scolded by Rikki again."

"Aine-chan, I'm so tired."

"Tomorin, we're almost there, just hold on a little longer."

boom!

As I pushed open the door to the rehearsal room, I heard Li Xi's voice: "Just tell me whether you're coming or not."

Aine gasped, "Rikki, sorry... I'm on duty today."

"Ain, wait a moment, it's not your turn yet." Li Xi glanced at Ain and continued to focus his eyes on Lenai.

"Eh?"

Lenai looked at Lixi innocently: "I'm here"

Li Xi was speechless: "That's not what I meant."

Su Shi smiled and said, "It would be better if you told us before you came."

After hearing this, Lenai understood what they meant and took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Sushi.

Su Shi was confused: "Huh? Me?"

Li Xi, who was standing next to him, immediately took his phone and added Lenai to the group chat. "Really? You said you wanted to form a band, but you didn't even join the group. Now I'm adding you. Remember to come. You can't be late."

After pulling Lenai into the group chat, Lixi walked over to his drums, "Deng, come practice."

Aine, who was standing nearby, was a little confused: "Huh? Rikki, what about me?"

Li Xi sat down in front of the drums and gave Ai Yin a sullen look. "Do you really want to be scolded by me that much?"

"No."

"Then why don't you get ready? It's time to start practicing." Li Xi sighed helplessly. What a complete idiot. "If you don't perform well on stage, I'll give you the thumbs-down afterward."

"I know." Aine responded and took out her guitar.

After playing a few songs together, Lenai showed a satisfied expression: "Satisfied."

Li Xi looked at Lenai who was about to run away and shouted directly, "Wait, our practice isn't over yet, and we can't even start the ensemble together yet."

Su Shi walked up to Li Xi and said, "As for Lenai, there should be no problem."

It would have been fine if Su Shi hadn't spoken, but as soon as she spoke, Li Xi immediately started questioning her: "What about you? Are you practicing well?"

Su Shi naturally knew exactly what his current level was.

Although a little embarrassed, Su Shi still replied: "I am practicing hard."

However, Li Xi would not indulge her: "It's worse than before."

Li Xi looked at them with a headache: "If everyone can't cooperate, what kind of band is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lenai left the rehearsal room dragging his guitar.

"Hey, wild cat!" Unfortunately, Li Xi's words did not call back Lenai: "Go back..."

Su Shi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "It really does look like a cat."

The next afternoon, Xiangzi was standing in the activity room of the wind band club. He saw Su Shi blocking the school gate through the window, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

After thinking it over again and again, Xiangzi finally took out his cell phone and sent a message to Ain saying that he had to talk to Xiaomu today and could not accompany her to practice guitar. Ain, who received the message, also expressed her understanding.
