"I kept thinking last night, Aine-chan is such an outstanding and gentle girl, but she is like this... why?" Deng's voice began to tremble. Is it because... the world is jealous of Aine-chan?
Aine shook her head. "Well, I don't know either. The doctor said she should have had ALS in her third year of middle school, but it only started to show in her first year of high school."
"Aine-chan, that's amazing."
"Eh? Why do you say that?"
“Because…” Deng turned his head again and looked at Aine, “Even though Aine-chan has this disease, her mentality is still so strong. She thinks about everyone and wants to move forward…”
Hearing this, Aiyin sighed with a smile. She didn't expect that Tomorin would see me like this. It's a pity...Tomorin, even though you think highly of me, I still tried to avoid you...
“Actually, I’m not as powerful as you say, Tomorin.” Aine shook her head. “I’ve thought about running away too… I get scared too. If it weren’t for Sakki, Soyorin, Mumu, and everyone else… I wouldn’t be who I am now.”
“But…” Deng didn’t agree with what Aine said. She sat up and looked down at Aine, “If it weren’t for Aine-chan, then… we wouldn’t be here today.”
"It was the Aine-chan of the past...that created the Aine-chan of today." Deng took a deep breath.
Aine felt indescribably moved: "Tomorin..."
"I...I was so scared after you told me the reason why you quit the group that day." Deng lay back on the bed.
"Feel sorry……"
“This isn’t Aine-chan’s fault…” Deng looked at the ceiling, and everything that happened when Aine left the group that day gradually emerged before his eyes. “At least, Aine-chan explained the reason very clearly… I’m also very grateful that Aine-chan was willing to come and listen to my songs, and let our MyGO be revived.”
"Actually... that day, I didn't want to tell you the reason." Aine didn't choose to hide it from Deng anymore, but told her the truth, "I was afraid that you and Rakuna-chan wouldn't be able to accept this fact, but... Soyorin and Sakki talked to me a lot, so I decided to tell you."
Deng was silent for a long time before replying, "I see... Thank you, Aine-chan, for always thinking about us, but... after that, you can try to trust me. I... will try my best."
Although Deng’s body was shaking as he spoke these words, the undeniable power in his tone still moved Aine.
"Really... I understand. I'll trust Tomorin."
Chapter 269 Christmas Eve
"Thank you, Aine-chan, for believing in me." Deng hugged Aine gently. Aine-chan... is so soft. I want to hold her like this forever.
“After all… we are good friends.” Aine smiled slightly.
good friend……
When Deng heard this word again, he felt a little disappointed, but it did not show on his face.
"Well, good friend..." Deng muttered to herself, repeating what Aine had just said. After a moment, she continued, "Aine-chan, what I said to you that day...how do you feel?"
“Your voice? Oh, you said it after you sang that song that day…” Aine thought for a moment, “I was really moved.”
"Those words...are all my true feelings."
Aine nodded: "Yeah, I know."
Seeing that Aine had no other reaction, Deng felt a little disappointed. She felt that she had made her words very clear, but Aine's reaction was still the same as before.
Why? I've already told Aine-chan that she's the only star I can touch, but... I feel like my relationship with Aine-chan isn't that close... It's still not as good as Xiaoxiang and Sushi, or even as good as Xiaomu...
I also want... a better relationship with Aine-chan.
"Ok?"
Now, Deng's emotions were written all over his face, and Aine could easily see it: "Tomorin, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy again?"
"Aine-chan...it's nothing." Deng shook his head. It was so strange...I became, why did I become like this? Why did I always think about taking my relationship with Aine-chan to the next level...Maybe, Aine-chan already understood my feelings...But, are you just playing dumb because you don't want to hurt me?
Well... just keep it in your heart for now.
“Is that so?” Aine looked at the lamp hugging her, shook her head and chuckled, “Well, Tomorin, just say whatever you want to say.”
Would it be better to say it out loud? Or let it go... This feeling has been lingering in my heart. It's so strange. I'm afraid that if I say it out loud... My relationship with Aine-chan will change... Or let it go. This... isn't bad... right?
Deng shook his head and rested his head on Aine's chest, "Aine-chan...thank you for coming with me."
“It’s nothing.” Aine shook her head, a smile spreading across her face like a tide. “Don’t be so reserved when you’re with me.”
"Well, no," Deng's mouth curled up slightly. As expected, Aine-chan made me feel more at ease. "Being with Aine-chan, I feel at ease and relaxed."
Ain's warm body temperature was transmitted to Deng through her clothes, and her hair fell loosely on Deng's face, carrying Ain's unique fragrance.
The lights are a little hazy. Is this kind of life a dream?
……
Ever since everyone knew about Aine's ALS, she took some time to tell everyone about her current surgical status. Although there is hope for a cure for her single-factor ALS, unfortunately, the surgery is still a long way off.
After resting at home for more than half a month, Ain's mother arranged for Ain to take a leave of absence from school. The reason was very simple: she was afraid that something might happen to Ain at school.
Time goes by slowly...
The colorful lights on the street illuminate the falling snowflakes, and the starry sky tells the most beautiful moment.
"Today is Christmas Eve." Aiyin sat in the room, looking through the slanted window at the snow falling outside. The snowflakes were small but dense. They had been falling since this morning and there was no sign of stopping. The ground had long since turned into a pure white expanse.
She didn't know why, but the moment she saw the snow, she felt a little restless. She wanted to grab the snow in her hands, make it into a snowball, and then...
I'd stuff it into Rikki's clothes from her back. Of course, Rikki might scold me... No, she definitely would. Forget it.
"I really want to go out and play in the snow." Aine turned her head and saw that there were only textbooks on her desk besides the computer.
It has been almost two months since I took a leave of absence from school. During this period, apart from occasionally watching Miao Meng's videos on the computer or tablet, or hanging out with my partner and friends, I started to self-study high school courses when I was bored.
However, Aiyin is indeed very smart. Now through self-study on the Internet, she can fully keep up with the knowledge taught in school.
Seriously, why not send them a message?
Aine took the phone and opened a chat group called "ANONTOKYO".
This group was newly created by themselves, and all ten of them are in it. They thought it would be more convenient to send any group notifications here.
Although Lixi strongly opposed naming the group this, the reason was simple: it was too tacky.
But Li Xi's power was too weak, and it was useless to oppose. Xiangzi, Su Shi and others stood on Aine's side. Even his good friend Hai Ling had no aversion to the name "ANONTOKYO". As for Lenai, it goes without saying that she didn't care at all, or rather, there was no need to chat with her.
[Aine: Everyone, do you have time today?]
[Xiangzi: What's up, Xiaoai?]
[Aine: It’s nothing important, I just feel like today’s weather is good for going out.]
[Su Shi: Is that so? Then why don’t you come out and take a look?]
Eh? Come out and take a look! ?
Aine’s eyes lit up. Since Soyorin said that, could it be that they have already…
Aiyin put on her clothes and walked out of the room. She came to the door of her house and as soon as she opened it, she saw a group of girls standing outside.
Without a doubt, it was Xiangzi and the others.
Xiangzi walked up to Aiyin and gently took her hand: "Xiao Ai, we guessed that you couldn't hold it in at home. Come on, we'll stay with you."
As early as when it started snowing today, Xiangzi had an inexplicable feeling - given Xiaoai's personality, she should really want to go out and play in the snow.
After talking to Deng at school, Xiangzi went to the agency to rehearse. After the rehearsal, she called Wuqi and followed the other people from Mujica to Aine's house.
Deng originally wanted to call the other members of mygo over to RiNG, but because Aine had already made it clear that she would not participate in the rehearsal, Lenai did not show up at RiNG, and only called Riki and Sushi over.
"Really?" Li Xi rubbed his brows, "Where are you going?"
Aiyin shook her head: "I didn't know, and you didn't even inform me in advance."
"Tsk." Li Xi crossed his arms over his chest and smacked his lips.
"Um..." Su Shi pointed at the snow falling from the sky, "How about we go in and discuss it first? It's not good to be drenched in snow like this."
“Yeah.” Aine made way for him, “Come in.”
Chu Hua glanced at the others and said, "Speaking of which, with so many people here, can they all go in?"
Aiyin nodded: "Don't worry, Chuhua, these people are not under much pressure, just go in."
Hearing this, Chu Hua smiled and said, "Is that so? Sorry to bother you then."
Chapter 270: Ice and Snow Heartbeat
Everyone was sitting in the living room. On the table in front of them were cups of hot barley tea, freshly brewed by Aine's mother.
Chu Hua looked around in surprise: "This is my first time at Xiao Ai's house. It's so big."
I have never seen such a luxurious interior. Although I have seen the wooden mansion where Xiaoxiang came to escape the summer heat when I was a child, I have never been inside.
"Yeah, yeah, Aizi's family is really great." Miao Meng introduced Chuhua excitedly, "We came here to celebrate Aizi's birthday before, and we had a great experience there."
Hearing this, Chu Hua turned his face away and forced a smile: "Well... at that time, I was still quite young..."
"What Chuhua said back then feels like many years have passed since then." Xiangzi picked up the hot barley tea and took a sip. "It's delicious."
"Well... I was ignorant back then. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chu Hua clasped his hands together and bowed his head towards Aiyin. "Xiao Ai, on your birthday next year, I will make it up to you."
Aine waved her hands: "It's okay, I'm not the type to care about gifts."
After hearing Xiangzi's sentiments, Miao Meng also took a sip of hot barley tea. After swallowing it, she felt much warmer. "By the way, Aizi, have you decided what we're going to do?"
“Are you guys going out now?” Aine’s mother came over and placed the cakes on the table. “It’s still snowing outside.”
"Well, Mom, we know, but we're so bored now." Aine leaned on the sofa, rubbing Mu's long hair with her right hand boredly.
“Bored? Your dad has already decorated the Christmas tree…” Aine’s mother pondered for a moment, “Then… how about building a gingerbread house?”
“Gingerbread house?” Aine’s eyes lit up instantly and she stood up. “I haven’t made one yet. Everyone, do you want to make one?”
Su Shi nodded and was the first to express his opinion: "Okay."
"Well, I will accompany Xiaoai in whatever she wants to do." Xiangzi smiled.
Mu nodded, "Aine-chan, come together."
After everyone else had expressed their opinions one after another, Li Xi sighed helplessly: "Since you all agree, I can't say anything more."
The windows in the living room were covered with mist, and the cold air outside condensed into ice flowers on the glass.
The girls sat together around the dining table, on which were scattered amber-baked gingerbread panels, icing sugar accumulated in piping bags like white snow, and various materials were piled on the side.
“Huh, after preparing for so long, it’s finally time for the exciting decoration moment.” Aine put her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face.
It had been two or three hours since the preparations for the table began. However, only Aine's mother, Su Shi, Xiangzi and Deng were busy with the preparations, while the others were just watching TV in the living room and waiting for them.
Suyo picked up a piece of the gingerbread wall and handed it to Aine, "Aine-chan, start building it."
“Yeah.” Aine took the gingerbread wall with her right hand. Then, Sushi picked up the icing bag and squeezed icing on one side of the wall to act as glue.
Aine looked at the gingerbread wall in her hand, one side of which had been covered with icing sugar. She pinched the gingerbread wall and gently placed it on the large gingerbread piece at the bottom.
As soon as Aine loosened her grip, the gingerbread wall that was standing on the large piece of gingerbread began to shake.
"The wall is crooked!" Xiangzi quickly reached out to straighten it, with cinnamon powder still on her nose.
At the moment when the gingerbread wall was about to fall, Xiangzi's hand finally arrived and held it up with great difficulty.
"That was a close call." Deng breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaoxiang, you're amazing."
"Well, it's okay." Xiangzi raised his other hand to wipe the cinnamon powder off his nose. "Xiao Ai, at least wait for it to dry before taking your hand away, or you can use something to cover it."
Aine nodded: "I know."
"Then Aine-chan, do you want to continue?" Su Shi continued to pick up a piece of gingerbread wall.
Aiyin waved her hand to reject Sushi: "Let Mumu do this, and the others, so that everyone can participate."
Chuhua stood aside with his eyes slightly widened. He couldn't help but have a better impression of Aiyin. He didn't expect Xiaoai to be so considerate of everyone. She was such a warm-hearted little sun.
The warm air from the air conditioner is filled with the sweet aroma of cinnamon and brown sugar.
"Let me arrange the last star cookie!"
Aine picked up the last piece of sugar snack on the table and raised it high above her head. Then, her hand slowly came to the top of the gingerbread house and gently dropped the cookie.
A gingerbread house shrouded in warm light stands on the table. Its caramel-colored cookie panels are neatly pieced together, and its edges are trimmed with wavy snow-white frosting. Every corner gleams with light.
“Done!” Aine looked proudly at the gingerbread house in front of her, a gingerbread house that was the product of everyone’s hard work.
There was a light in the lamp's eyes: "So beautiful..."
Hailing nodded: "Indeed, it is very beautiful."
"Everyone, the snow has stopped." Aine's mother came out of the kitchen. "But it's getting late now, so let's just play around."
Hearing this, everyone looked up at the clock hanging on the wall: nine o'clock.
"Eh? It's already so late?" Aine was a little surprised. She thought it was only around eight o'clock.
