A big question mark appeared in Miao Meng's head, and the next moment, she nodded and smiled.

Okay, okay, that's how we play it, huh? So, Haizi, you're here to trick me?

After releasing all the dissatisfaction in her heart in one breath, Miao Meng continued to ask Chu Hua: "Chu Zi, what do you think of Ai Zi?"

"Xiao Ai..." Chu Hua lowered his head and gently poked the ramen in the bowl with his chopsticks. "Xiao Ai is a very nice person... She is friendly and helpful, so sunny and cute..."

By the time Chuhua finished talking about Aine's strengths, most of the ramen in Hailing's bowl had been finished.

Miao Meng nodded: "Is that so? Then Aizi is a really good person."

"Well, yes." Chu Hua agreed with a wandering look in his eyes.

Miao Meng fixed her eyes on the ramen in front of her and suddenly asked, "Then you must like her very much, right?"

"Yes." Chu Hua nodded subconsciously.

silence……

"Huh?" Chu Hua finally realized what she had just said. She looked up suddenly and looked at Miao Meng in surprise, meeting Miao Meng's half-smile.

Chu Hua opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Sure enough, what I said when we were enjoying the cherry blossoms, that you were thinking of Aiko, was correct."

After saying that, Miao Meng leaned back in his chair and stretched out his body.

"No... Ruomai, it wasn't like that just now..." Chu Hua wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't find any words to defend himself in his mind.

Unlike the scene Chu Hua imagined, Miao Meng suddenly put away the smile in his eyes and replaced it with seriousness: "Well, Chu Zi, there is something I want to ask you, is it okay?"

"Eh?"

"It may be a little offensive. If you mind, I won't say it anymore." Miao Meng sat up straight, holding his chin with one hand and looking at Chu Hua, as if asking for her opinion.

After hesitating for a moment, Chuhua nodded and agreed to Miao Meng's request.

"Actually... I'm a little confused. Are your feelings changing a little too quickly?" Miao Meng roughly calculated the time in her mind. "Well, it doesn't seem too fast. After all, you and Aiko have known each other for over half a year."

Chu Hua lowered his head in frustration, drooping his nonexistent dog ears: "Actually... Ruomai, I don't know myself."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I don't know what this feeling is... Maybe it stems from my guilt towards Xiao Ai? Or maybe it's because of her personality? I don't know... what exactly are my feelings towards Xiao Ai..."

Chu Hua shook his head, his face full of resistance: "I don't know if this is love. After all... I had an unpleasant argument with Xiao Xiang before because of the same thing, and it's still vivid in my mind..."

After Chu Hua finished speaking, Ruomai lowered her head and was in deep thought. She had already formed a general judgment of Chu Hua's feelings in her heart, but Miao Meng did not expect that Chu Hua would be so conflicted in his heart.

But think about it... With the previous experience, how could Chu Hua jump to conclusions so easily?

After pondering for a moment, Ruomai raised his head and looked at Hailing. He didn't know when the ramen in Hailing's bowl had been cleared out.

The moment Ruomai looked at Hailing, Hailing also looked over. This time, she did not turn her head away deliberately.

Hailing nodded slightly, as a response to Miao Meng, then looked at Chu Hua and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Huh?" Chu Hua didn't quite understand Hai Ling's question.

Hailing refined her question: "How do you feel about Aine?"

"How do you feel about Xiao Ai?" Chu Hua lowered her head and after a moment, she answered, "I feel so happy when I'm with her... I really want to see her..."

"Is that so?" Hailing nodded and had a general judgment in her heart.

Miao Meng said, "Chuzi, I now roughly understand. If nothing unexpected happens, your feelings for Aizi must be love."

"Eh? Why are Ruomai so sure?"

When Chu Hua heard Miao Meng's judgment, she didn't believe it. After all, Miao Meng had just asked her about this kind of thing in a roundabout way, and now she suddenly said that she roughly understood it.

"After all, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly." Miao Meng smiled. "Back in the day, when we were talking about Mujica, I had a lot of arguments with Xiangzi because of our different ideas, right?"

"Yeah." Chu Hua nodded. She remembered all these things.

"If you really liked Xiangzi back then, you would never have let me be so presumptuous with something Xiangzi cherished, right?"

After Miao Meng finished speaking, Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "But... Ruomai, I clearly refuted you with Xiaoxiang at the station, right?"

Hearing this, Miao Meng smiled.

Chapter 301 Yes, I like her

Looking at Miao Meng's smile, Chu Hua's originally firm mood gradually wavered.

Could it be... am I wrong? Xiaoxiang and I did refute Ruomai at the beginning...

"Do you really want to help Xiangzi completely?"

When Miao Meng's words reached Chu Hua's ears, she froze in her tracks again. Why would Ruomai say that? I really wanted to help Xiao Xiang in the beginning...

"Xiangzi and the others told us about the commotion you caused back then. You're completely different from the good girl you were at the station."

Hearing this, Chu Hua lowered her head and shook her head: "No... Ruomai, at the station... it was because of someone else..."

As Chu Hua said this, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Really? Even if there were others, they could refute me logically, right? But all you said back then was that you wouldn't let Mujica disband." Miao Meng shook her head and sighed, "The bottom line is, deep down at that time, you must have understood your feelings for Xiangzi, but you didn't dare to face it."

After a pause, Miao Meng didn't give Chu Hua a chance to explain and continued, "Besides, when Motis wanted to take Mujica into her own hands and said that we would share a common destiny from now on, weren't you so happy? At that time, Xiangzi should have talked to you about it, right?"

After hearing this, Chu Hua did not refute anymore, because everything Miao Meng said was true. When Metis said this, he was indeed very happy.

Seeing Chu Hua nod, Miao Meng continued, "When we were enjoying the cherry blossoms earlier, the way you looked at Ai Zi was so tearful. And just now, when we said goodbye to Ai Zi, you looked so reluctant that it was almost as if you wanted to live in the hospital ward written all over your face."

Chu Hua covered her face. Miao Meng's words made her blush: "I...is my expression really that obvious?"

"Yes, it's really obvious. Anyone can see it as long as the eyes are not decorations." Miao Meng nodded, shattering Chu Hua's last fantasy. "Your current state is obviously different from the feeling you had when you first met Xiangzi, right?"

Chuhua didn't say anything. She had never paid attention to what Miao Meng said.

Without giving Chuhua any time to calm down, Hailing immediately asked, "Have you ever been alone with Aiyin?"

"Yeah." Chuhua nodded. The scenes of him mustering up the courage to go shopping and singing with Aiyin, and then going home with Aiyin for dinner were all vivid in his mind.

Hailing leaned back in her chair, her arms folded across her chest. "So how do you feel when you're alone with her?"

"I was so nervous. I felt like... I wasn't myself at that time."

"I see," Hailing nodded, "Do you feel guilty when you're with her?"

"Eh?"

The words Hailing suddenly said made Chuhua's brain freeze. Guilt? Why did Hailing say that? Being with Xiaoai...why should I feel guilty?

"I... don't feel guilty."

Seeing Chu Hua shaking his head in confusion, Hai Ling had an answer in her mind: "In this case, I can almost be sure that you like her."

"Why do you say that?" Chu Hua asked.

"This kind of emotion is irresistible." Hailing explained, "If you really like her out of guilt, then being alone with Aine will be very difficult. After all, she will never be able to get into your heart. That kind of feeling is more about trust than love."

"So, I can confirm that you like her and you enjoy being with her, but you get nervous when you're around her and become unlike yourself. That's normal."

After listening to Hailing's explanation, Chuhua lowered his head. Hailing was right. He really wanted to be with Xiaoai forever, but whenever he was with her, he would start to have wild thoughts and become a completely different person from his usual self...

Moreover, I would start to imagine everything Xiao Ai said and get nervous easily... Do I really like Xiao Ai... It seems to be true...

Miao Meng looked at Hai Ling, her eyes full of confusion: "How do you know so clearly? Have you discussed this before?"

Hailing shook her head, denying Miao Meng's words.

"When I was playing backing bass, I saw this happen a lot in bands." Hailing shook her head and sighed, "On average, this happens in every two bands. It's normal for band members to like each other."

"Huh?" Miao Meng's eye twitched. Is it normal for band members to like each other?

Miao Meng shook her head: "Have you been brainwashed?"

Hailing glanced at Miao Meng and sighed.

"Hey, talk nicely, why are you sighing?" Miao Meng pouted and looked at Hailing with dissatisfaction.

After a long time, Chu Hua finally spoke: "I... should like Xiao Ai."

"Really?" Miao Meng turned her head to look at Chu Hua, with a smile on her face, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Chu Hua nodded, a smile on her face. "Thank you, Ruomai, Hailing. I... can be sure that I like Xiaoai."

Seeing Chu Hua smiling, Miao Meng didn't want to dampen her mood, but after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Have you figured out how to explain this to Xiangzi and the others?"

Sure enough, after Miao Meng said this, Chu Hua's face froze and his mood was visibly depressed.

"I... haven't thought about it yet." Chuhua shook her head. Because she was not sure about her feelings for Aine before, she had never thought about how to face Xiangzi and the others' question.

"Besides, didn't I just say that your behavior towards Aiko was too obvious? So I think Xiangzi and the others should have seen it, but they just didn't have the courage to expose you."

After Miao Meng finished speaking, she glanced at Hailing.

Seeing this, Hailing nodded: "I just had a few words with Xiangzi, and her eyes were basically fixed on you."

"No way..." Chu Hua lowered his head in disbelief, "In that case... Xiaoxiang and Xiaoai will be very troubled..."

"If you like someone, go after them." Miao Meng nudged Chu Hua gently with her elbow. "When are you going to confess your feelings?"

"Eh? I... I didn't think about it..." Chu Hua's face turned red as if blood could drip out.

Chu Hua's weak look fell into Miao Meng's eyes, and she sighed softly: "Chu Zi, you finally have someone you like, are you willing to miss it like this?"

"I... don't want to." Chu Hua shook his head.

Although she didn't want to miss it, she had no plans to "confess" suddenly... She was afraid that after the sudden confession, she would no longer even be known as a "good friend".

Seeing Chu Hua looking like he was having trouble making a decision, Hai Ling sighed and interrupted Miao Meng who was about to continue talking: "Okay, Ruomai, your ramen is about to clump. If you don't drink it, it will really become a clumping mess."

"Eh?" Miao Meng was stunned. She lowered her head and, as expected, there was almost no soup in the ramen. "Buhao! My lunch!"

Chapter 302 The First Surgery

The next day, Aine sat up on the bed early. Her eyes were calm as she looked at the blue sky outside the window with a sense of composure.

Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Yamada told her that her physical examination had passed and she could undergo the mutation gene silencing surgery the next day.

After hearing the news, Aine was a little dazed for a moment. She felt that this moment was just like a dream, and the time for the surgery had come so soon.

On the other bed, Xiangzi slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes lightly, sleepily saying, "Hmm? Xiaoai, are you awake?"

“Just woke up.” Aine smiled slightly, resting her hands on her legs.

Xiangzi followed Aine's gaze outside and said, "I see, the weather is nice today."

“Indeed.” Aine nodded. “I wonder how Soyorin and the others’ tour is going…”

"It should go smoothly."

Just as Xiangzi was about to say something, Aiyin's mother pushed open the door and walked out, holding bags of breakfast in her hands: "Are you all awake? Come and eat."

After breakfast, Xiangzi sat next to Aine, her fingers tapping on Aine's sheets rhythmically, her mind full of the scene of Dr. Yamada coming over and telling them to prepare for the operation yesterday.

After a long pause, she opened her mouth and asked, "Xiao Ai, I remember Dr. Yamada said how long I should fast before surgery?"

"Four hours. You can't drink any water two hours before the operation."

Xiangzi nodded. Yesterday, Dr. Yamada said that the operation would start at noon, but now... it's only 7:30.

Several people sat in the ward, and time slipped away unconsciously. When Xiangzi turned on his mobile phone again, it was already nine o'clock.

During this period, no one spoke, and the ward seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of the impending operation.

After all, none of them knew whether this operation, which had never been tested on human beings, would be effective.

I don’t know how long it was, but just when Xiangzi wanted to take out his cell phone to check the time again, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

Before Xiangzi could react, the door was suddenly pushed open. Dr. Yamada walked in front, followed by several nurses pushing medical carts.

"Eh? Is the operation about to start?"

For a moment, Xiangzi was a little flustered. She looked down at her cell phone: 11:55.

"Yes." Dr. Yamada nodded.

Aine's mother was also stunned for a moment: "Don't we need to go to the operating room? Right here?"

"No need." Dr. Yamada shook his head. "Family members, please step aside."

After Xiangzi and the others left, Dr. Yamada looked up and glanced at the equipment on Aine's bedside, then glanced at the nurse behind him: "During the operation, pay close attention to the patient's various physical indicators."

"Yes, Dr. Yamada."
