As for Lenai, the corners of her mouth rose, and her eyes flashed with strong interest: "Interesting girls... those."

Only Deng lowered her head. Although she had already sensed that there was something unusual between Aine and the three of them, she had not expected it to be this unusual.

"Is that so..." Deng's voice gradually weakened, and the disappointment in his words was hard to hide.

Deng knows that she is a strange girl in the eyes of others and is not good at expressing herself, but if she asks herself what her feelings are towards Aine, Deng’s inner thoughts are that she wants to be with Aine forever, no matter whether they are poor or rich, healthy or sick... She wants to be with Aine and never be separated.

She didn't know what this feeling was, but if she were to describe it, it would probably be the same feeling that Xiangzi and the others had for Aine.

But if you ask her to say it out loud, she can't do it. Deng can only express her emotions through words or songs.

“So… Aine-chan probably can’t detect my deepest emotions over and over again…” — Deng thought.

“Tomorin, why do you feel lost again?” Aine stretched out her left hand and gently held Deng’s. At the same time, she raised her right hand and cupped Deng’s face. “Okay, this is a rare first visit. Be happy.”

Deng was forced to raise her head, feeling the softness on her chin and cheeks. She felt a little panicked: "Aine-chan..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Aine looked at Deng's flustered look. Well, Tomorin is still as cute as ever.

"It's... so itchy." Deng's whole body was tense, but when facing Aine, she didn't dare to move rashly.

Although it's itchy, it feels so comfortable and reassuring.

Aine’s left hand tightened a little. “Is that so, Tomorin, let’s go get a fortune together?”

Deng held Aine's hand: "Okay, let's do it together."

Although I really want to let Aine-chan know my feelings, but... I can't say it out loud, and... if I say it out loud, it will embarrass Aine-chan... I'd better not do it. Now... it's fine.

The thought that came to him when he invited Aine to his home has not changed.

The lamp felt the warmth in his hand, as if... it would continue like this forever.

“Hey, are you kidding me?!” Aine’s exclamation brought Deng back from his fantasy.

Deng came back to his senses and looked at the bamboo stick in Aine's hand: "Aine-chan, what did you pick?"

“It’s a terrible fortune!” Aine said in disbelief. “How is it possible? Among all these fortune sticks… you found it so precisely?”

Looking at Aine's lost face, the miko shook her head: "It's okay. You should know that there is a saying that goes, 'After adversity comes good times.'"

Hearing this, Aine felt better: "I hope so..."

The New Year's days passed quickly. During this time, the members of Mujica had been rehearsing for their upcoming tour. As for mygo... they were rarely seen in RiNG, except for Lixi who occasionally worked there.

Su Shi would come to Aine's house almost every few days to talk and chat with Aine, for fear that she would be bored.

Deng often stays at home, maybe writing songs or doing other things, and occasionally comes to Ain's house to accompany Ain.

As for Lenai, she would refresh in RiNG once every few days on average, or follow Ritsuki to visit Aine.

……

"Ding-ling." The doorbell of Aine's house rang again.

"Here I am." Aine's mother opened the door. Unlike what she expected, the visitor was not Su Shi who often visited Aine. "Chu Hua, how did you find time to visit Aine?"

"Well... because today is the last day before the tour, I thought that if I don't come today, I will have to wait half a month or even a month to come later." Chu Hua lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously tangled together, and he was visibly panicked.

Aine's mother smiled slightly. "Oh, I see. She's still in the attic."

Aiyin's mother turned sideways and let Chuhua walk into the room. She then gently closed the door and said, "Go, Chuhua."

"Well, excuse me for disturbing you." Chuhua nodded politely. She took off her shoes and slowly walked to Aine's door.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally knocked on Aine's door: "Um, Xiao Ai, can I come in?"

Aiyin's surprised voice rang out from inside the room: "Chuhua? Sure, sure, come in."

With Aiyin's permission, Chuhua gently pushed open the door.

The room was very tidy and had the style of a high school girl. It was much more lively than the house I rented.

This was Chu Hua's first thought after she entered the room. When her eyes swept over the medicine box on the table, her brows couldn't help but frown.

The glaring medicine box was out of place in the girl's room.

When Chu Hua withdrew her gaze, she came to Ai Yin and said, "Hey, Xiao Ai, how have you been these past few days?"

Aine smiled and shook her head: "Well, it's just so-so."

Since the New Year, Aiyin feels that her legs are not as flexible as before.

"By the way, Chuhua, you suddenly came to see me, what's going on?" Aiyin asked the question in her heart, "You're going on tour soon, right?"

Chapter 275 Chu Hua's inner cry

"I... am here to apologize to you." Chuhua knelt in front of Aiyin. She lowered her head, her face full of guilt.

A big doubt appeared on Aine’s face.

Apologize? What are you apologizing for? Did Chuhua do anything to offend me?

Aiyin raised her head and began to think about everything that had happened since she told them about ALS until now. After a long time, Aiyin came to a conclusion: Chuhua had not done anything to let her down.

Thinking of this, Aiyin reached out and held Chuhua's shoulders: "Wait a minute, Chuhua, you haven't done anything to let me down, right?"

"No, I do." Chu Hua shook her head, biting her lower lip. "I sincerely apologize for what I did to Xiao Xiang, and for the ugly fantasies I've had about you in my mind since then."

"Huh?" Aine was stunned for a moment. I knew about the excessive things I did to Sakki. After all, I confessed my feelings to Sakki. Then... what was my ugly thing...?

Chu Hua clenched his fists and said with determination: "Xiao Ai, can I have a good talk with you?"

Looking at Chuhua's determined eyes, Aiyin nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Chuhua lowered his head and began to tell Aiyin about his own story: "Actually... when I was a child, I didn't have many friends to accompany me. No... to be precise, there was not one."

"Eh? Not even one!?"

Aiyin was stunned. She had never lacked so-called "friends" since she was a child, so when Aiyin heard Chuhua say this, she was very surprised. However, Aiyin quickly suppressed her inner feelings: "Then... Chuhua must be very lonely."

Chu Hua nodded and said, yes, he was very lonely.

"At that time, I met Xiaoxiang. I was so happy that I finally had a friend to accompany me... But one day, Xiaoxiang stopped coming to the island where I lived." Chuhua lowered her head, a bitter smile on her lips. "At that time, I missed her so much that I came to Tokyo alone. By chance, I formed Sumimi with Mana."

"At the time, I thought... as long as I became famous, I could find Xiaoxiang and return to her." Chuhua lowered his head. "Until then, I thought my feelings for Xiaoxiang were just love... After Xiaoxiang made it clear to me, I escaped from Mujica and wanted to be alone and relax..."

After a pause, Chu Hua looked at Aiyin who had been staring at him, and continued: "It was when I met you and Xiaodeng at the planetarium, and then after chatting with Xiaoxiang, I seemed to understand my actual feelings towards Xiaoxiang... because I have never experienced friendship..."

Seeing that Chuhua no longer wanted to continue, Aiyin finally spoke: "Is that so? That's true, but it can't be helped. Emotions are easily confused. Don't blame Chuhua."

Aiyin's words comforted Chuhua's fragile heart. Although she knew that Aiyin's character was like this, she was still prepared to be scolded or even treated coldly. After all, she was the one who made the mistake first. But the smooth development now surprised Chuhua a little.

Aiyin asked the question that was confusing her: "By the way, Chuhua, what was that scandal you just mentioned...my scandal...what was that?"

"That is..." Chu Hua hesitated, then she lowered her head suddenly, "Sorry, Xiao Ai, I told you this, please don't be angry, oh Neigai."

Seeing this, although Aine had a bad feeling in her heart, she still waved her hand and pretended not to care: "I won't be angry, just say it."

After receiving the promise, Chu Hua took a deep breath: "At the beginning... I saw you and Su Shi dating in Osaka, and then I saw you and Xiao Mu... So, at that time, I thought you were... was..."

Chu Hua couldn't continue talking at this point. She raised her eyes and looked at Ai Yin. Seeing the latter nod, she spoke again: "Bastard..."

"..."

Hearing this, Aine fell silent.

A scumbag... huh? Well, even though I'd felt like that before, it still felt a bit uncomfortable to be told so.

But think about it... Chu Hua is right. How can a normal girl date three girls at the same time?

“Well, she’s definitely a scumbag.” Aine turned her face away, pouting, “After all…why would a normal girl be in a relationship with three girls at the same time?”

Chu Hua shook her head. She reached out and grabbed Ai Yin's hand: "But... Xiao Xiang said it all. Those three were the ones who confessed their love to you."

Aine lowered her head, it was indeed true.

"Well... although that's true, but if they confessed once and I accepted it... isn't that still a scumbag?"

Seeing Aiyin sinking into self-doubt, Chuhua panicked. She put her hands on Aiyin's shoulders and said, "No, this...is not Xiaoai's fault."

"Everyone knows Xiao Ai's personality... So, even if they know you have a girlfriend... they're still willing to be with you." Chu Hua's eyes were serious. "Isn't this trust in Xiao Ai's character?"

"If it weren't like this...how could they be willing?"

Aine turned her face away again: “Then…what if I tricked them with sweet words?”

"Pfft." Chu Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Aiyin like this, "Who would tell others about it after deceiving them with sweet words?"

Aine smiled slightly: "I am."

Chu Hua lowered his head: "Xiao Ai, I have explained everything to you. I apologize for my ignorance and awkwardness before."

Aiyin shook her head and used one hand to straighten Chuhua's body: "It's not necessary, but... if Chuhua doesn't have many good friends, I'd be happy to be one."

Hearing this, Chu Hua shook her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Aren't we good friends now?"

"I see." Aiyin nodded. "If Chuhua can think this way, then it would be the best."

That’s good. It seems Chuhua didn’t stop because of guilt.

Looking at Aiyin's smiling face, Chuhua felt a little dazed. He hadn't seen many expressions of genuine happiness for others, but... once he started to interact with Xiaoai, he felt like he could see it every day.

"Xiao Ai's personality is truly great." Chu Hua sighed, "If it weren't for you... I might still be paranoid because of Xiao Xiang."

"Eh? I... I'm not as good as you say, Chuhua." Aiyin's face flushed slightly. She felt that Chuhua's words were a bit too serious. "I'm just... doing my own thing... and caring about my friends a little."

"Just a little concern?" Chu Hua smiled with his hands covering his mouth.

“Uh…” Aine’s lips twitched, “Maybe… it will be a little more…”

"Thank you, Xiao Ai." Chu Hua gently hugged Ai Yin, "I'm really happy to meet you."

Chapter 276 Tension is inevitable

Aiyin seemed a little flattered by Chuhua's sudden action. After Chuhua let her go, Aiyin was still frozen in place.

In Aine's impression, Chuhua is still the idol Chuhua in the Sumimi group, and she can actually have such close contact with her idol.

"Um...Chuhua, no, you're welcome."

After Aiyin came back to her senses, she shook her head gently, and her stiff body relaxed. Aiyin's face turned visibly red, and the corners of her mouth could not suppress her excitement.

Hehehe, I’m so happy to be so close to my idol.

Chuhua naturally saw everything Aiyin did, and a smile appeared on the corner of Chuhua's mouth.

She really likes this little gesture of Aine's. It looks so smart and cute against the backdrop of her cheerful personality.

"Is Xiao Ai happy?" Chu Hua asked with his head tilted.

“Of course.” Aine nodded, her face unquestionable, “I’m a big fan of Sumimi… and Mujica, of course.”

"Is that so?" Chuhua nodded, his eyes gentle. "Then I should also thank Xiaoai for supporting Sumimi and Mujica so much."

“Hehehe.” Aine scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

"Since Xiao Ai supports us so much, then... do you want to go shopping together later?" Chu Hua clasped her hands together, as if she felt that this statement was inappropriate, and she added, "I'll treat you."

"Huh? Chuhua likes shopping too?" Aine was a little surprised. "I thought celebrities like you guys didn't go shopping much."

Chu Hua was very curious: "Huh? Why would Xiao Ai think so?"

"Because... I feel like as celebrities, you should have endless amounts of beautiful clothes at home, right?"

Hearing Aiyin express her thoughts, Chuhua covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xiaoai, you have misunderstood too deeply. I am renting a house now. I am not that powerful at all."

Rent?

This word popped into Aiyin's mind, making her feel unrealistic. Chuhua was already a big star who could easily accept advertisements, so why would she still rent a house?

Aine shook her head, looking unconvinced: "How is that possible? Chuhua is so famous."

"Really." Chu Hua's eyes were full of smiles. "If you don't believe me, I can take you home to see it later~"

Seeing that Chuhua wasn't joking, Aiyin nodded: "Is that so..."

"It's just perfect. I haven't been shopping much this year. Xiao Ai, can we go together later?"

"Eh? Didn't this year just begin?"

Chu Hua's mouth twitched, and he quickly covered his mouth and shook his head: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing, I haven't been shopping much since joining Sumimi."

Did I say something wrong? There are quite a few things wrong with this...

Although Aiyin complained in her heart, she nodded: "Of course I can, but my body can't accompany you for too long. I have to rest after walking for a while."

"Of course, everything is based on your body."
