Chapter 313 The lilies of my hometown are blooming

Today is the weekend, and Lixi got up very early. Of course, this does not mean that she did not stay up late, but her beautiful sleep was broken by Su Shi's call.

The reason why Su Shi called Li Xi early in the morning was to ask her to go to NCNP to take care of Ai Yin, even though Ai Yin's mother was already taking care of her there.

However, according to Su Shi, she was mainly there to help Aiyin's mother share the pressure. Su Shi told Li Xi that the reason she couldn't go this morning was because Xiangzi asked her and Deng to discuss something, but she didn't tell Li Xi in detail, and Li Xi knew that he didn't need to ask too much.

It has been more than three days since their tour ended.

"Haaa~" Li Xi got off the tram and yawned. She took out her cell phone and said, "Seven o'clock, isn't it too late?"

Lixi put away her phone, looked up at the hospital in front of her, bought a bouquet of flowers from the small shop in front of the hospital, and then she walked into the hospital.

Although NCNP covers a large area and the building is complex, Li Xi was familiar with the sixth floor because he had been there many times.

The corridors in the hospital are always so long.

Li Xi held a bunch of fresh lilies and followed the path in his memory to the door of Aine's single room.

Li Xi rubbed her eyes with one hand and placed the other on the door handle. For some reason, her originally calm heart began to beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xi did not knock on the door - Su Shi said that her aunt was there too, and her aunt had also told them before that there was no need to be so restrained.

Thinking of this, Li Xi was about to push open the door when he heard faint voices from inside.

"Mom, no need, my right hand is fine..." A soft yet stubborn voice reached Li Xi's ears. It was Aiyin.

"Don't be so stubborn, Aine." Aine's mother's voice was filled with helplessness and heartache.

It's Aine and Auntie, what are they talking about?

Li Xi hesitated for a second, then gently pushed the door open. The moment she looked inside, all the sounds in her ears faded away, and her world seemed to stop at that moment.

The early morning sunlight streamed into the ward through the half-drawn curtains, presenting her with a scene she had never imagined.

Aiyin sat on the hospital bed with her back to the door. The upper half of her hospital gown was completely unbuttoned and pulled down to her waist, where it was piled up into soft folds. Although her back was not directly exposed to the baptism of sunlight, it was still white, and her whole body was stained with a sickly paleness.

Time seemed to be stretched.

Lixi seemed to be able to see the dust floating in the sunlight, her heartbeat accelerated in her ears, and she could even feel the burning sensation of blood rushing to her cheeks.

This... don't look at it if it's indecent...

Li Xi muttered to herself, her eyelashes trembling violently. Although she felt ashamed at the moment, a dark corner of her heart greedily preserved every frame of the picture - the curve of Aine's hair brushing against her neck when she tilted her head, the shallow marks left by the belt on her shoulders...

The cool breeze in the corridor blew on her hot neck. She wanted to leave, but found that she had no control over her body.

Aine's body is so thin...

"Little Li Xi?" Aine's mother was a little surprised when she noticed the intruder standing at the door.

This call returned control of the body to Li Xi, who suddenly woke up as if from a dream and took a step back, almost dropping the bouquet in his hand: "I, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Riki’s voice rose several degrees in panic, and at the same time, this sentence also caught Aine’s attention.

Aiyin turned around and her blank eyes met Li Xi's, her collarbone filled with sunshine.

Li Xi's face flushed red when she saw Aine's eyes. She turned around eagerly, but because of her excessive movement, she bumped her head against the door frame.

Enduring the pain, Li Xi quickly closed the door and staggered back to the bench in the corridor to sit down. The lily in his hand was casually placed beside him, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed together.

She could clearly feel the blood boiling in her body. What lingered in her mind was the scene just now - Aine's slender back, her fragile yet beautiful lines, and the collarbone and neckline revealed when she turned around and glanced blankly.

"Shiina Riki, what are you thinking about!?"

Lixi covered her face. She blamed herself in her heart, but she couldn't control the temperature on her face that continued to rise.

"Why is this happening so early in the morning?! This is ridiculous!?"

The sound of a cart came from the end of the corridor. Lixi stood up like a thief. She raised her head and met the nurse's slightly puzzled eyes.

"sorry."

Li Xi bowed and sat back down.

From inside the door came the rustling sounds of people dressing and talking.

Lixi looked down at the lilies beside her. There were still dewdrops on the petals, sparkling in the sunlight, just like some thoughts that shouldn't exist in her at the moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and to Riki, it felt like centuries had passed - the door of the ward was opened again, and Aine's mother walked out with a polite smile on her face.

"I didn't expect that little Lixi would come so early." Aine's mother had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Hello, Auntie... I, I'm so sorry for what happened just now..." Li Xi stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence. Her burning ears revealed her nervousness at the moment.

"It's okay, it's an accident, Auntie understands." Aiyin's mother patted her shoulder and said softly, "Auntie will go buy food now, you go and accompany Aiyin."

Looking at Aine's mother's departing back, Lixi was stunned for a long time. After taking a few deep breaths, she finally plucked up the courage to push the door open.

In the ward, Aiyin was already sitting down in her light blue hospital gown, her whole body completely enveloped by the sunlight. The top button of the loose hospital gown was still unbuttoned, and a small piece of the collarbone that Li Xi had just seen was exposed at the neckline. Her hair was a little messy, and a few strands of hair stuck to her neck, probably from the sweat she had sweated from changing clothes.

"I didn't expect Rikki to come so early." Aine's voice was very soft.

Lixi turned her face away, her face flushed. She raised the bouquet with an exaggerated gesture like a French military salute, hoping to divert the embarrassment.

"Aine, I... bought flowers."

"Thank you, I like it very much." Aiyin's eyes fell on the bouquet of lilies, and then returned to Li Xi's face, "Okay, it's okay, don't take it to heart."

Li Xi nodded gently, walked to the bedside, and placed the flowers in the vase. Her hands were shaking slightly. She didn't dare look directly into Ain's eyes, for fear that she would see the thoughts deep in her heart that she shouldn't have through her eyes.

"Su Shi and the others are busy...so let me take care of you..." Li Xi sat on the other bed with his head lowered, "They will come in the afternoon."

She said "hmm" and raised her right hand to tidy up her hair that was stuck together by sweat, but it was still difficult.

Although Li Xi didn't dare to look directly into Ai Yin's eyes, she kept an eye on her out of the corner of her eye. After noticing her movements, she got off the bed and stammered, "Do you need... do you need me to help you?"

The twenty-first chapter of the test results

"Okay, thank you, Rikki." Aine closed her eyes and nodded with a smile.

Even though Aine was smiling on the surface, a bitter feeling still welled up inside her. Really, even something as simple as fixing her hair was so difficult...

Li Xi cautiously reached out her hand and tucked a strand of Aiyin's hair behind her ear. Her fingertips accidentally touched her cheek, and the slightly cool touch made her heart skip a beat.

However, even though Aine’s cheeks felt slightly cold, Riki quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

Li Xi's clumsy look diluted the bitterness in Ain's heart. Ain couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect Li Xi's reaction to be so big.

"Rikki?" Aine teased, "Why do you seem like an innocent little girl?"

No, why do I need to say "feel like"? This is obviously the case. Rikki's emotional intelligence is questionable and he has no experience in love. This is completely normal.

"Huh?" Li Xi raised an eyebrow and turned her face away. "Who... who is acting like an innocent little girl?"

"You."

Hearing Aine's teasing, Li Xi didn't get angry for the first time in a long time. She lowered her head and looked at Aine's quilt, not knowing what she was thinking: "Well, your liver and kidney function tests are fine. I'm happy for you."

"Eh?" Aine was stunned. She had never expected Riki to suddenly change the subject. She had already thought of how to tease her.

But after Li Xi said this, Aiyin could only suppress the thought in her mind: "Oh, thank you..."

Seeing that Riki had no intention of continuing to speak, Aine lowered her head and her eyes fell on her hands placed on the quilt.

I was able to rehearse with everyone not long ago, and even perform at a concert in Fukuoka... But now my left hand doesn't even have the strength to make a fist, and although my right hand can still perform some simple activities, it feels very tired after a few minutes.

"rikki..."

"Hmm?" Hearing Aine's call, Li Xi raised her head. She noticed that Aine's mood was a little off and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you seem so unhappy?"

“Indeed,” Aine nodded, “We were able to rehearse with everyone not long ago, but in the end…”

"Wouldn't it be nice to rehearse together when you get better?" After saying this, Li Xi subconsciously reached out and held Aine's hand.

Aine's hands were soft, and her fingers were so slender that they seemed like they would break if she applied even the slightest pressure.

"Don't think too much, just recover."

Although Li Xi also admitted that he had low emotional intelligence, he could still say such words. After all... after being with everyone for a long time, his emotional intelligence could be improved.

Aiyin looked at the hand she was holding, then followed Li Xi's hand and moved her gaze to her face. She stared into Li Xi's eyes for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

"Yeah." Li Xi nodded, "Everyone will accompany you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Aine's eyes. She didn't expect that Lixi could be so comforting. Based on her understanding of Lixi, the latter's emotional intelligence only supported her to invite others to have a cup of coffee or a drink after she did something wrong, but she didn't expect that he could do it so easily now.

Of course, Li Xi didn’t know what was in Aine’s eyes. She just looked at Aine quietly, fearing that Aine still had some negative emotions.

The air between the two of them suddenly became thicker, and Riki could smell the faint scent of shampoo on Aine.

After a long time, Li Xi opened his mouth and was about to say something when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a nurse walked in pushing a medical cart.

"Chihaya-san, it's time to give the medicine." The nurse's voice broke the atmosphere between the two.

Li Xi suddenly realized that she was still holding Aine's hand. She let go of Aine, stood up suddenly, and pretended to arrange the bouquet of flowers in the vase to cover up her embarrassment.

Although he didn't know why he had to do this, Li Xi's subconscious intuition told him to do it.

Just now... what I wanted to say...

Li Xi recalled that moment just now and realized that he almost said something irreversible.

Luckily the nurse came in...

Li Xi bit her lower lip. To be honest, she felt a little relieved, but also a little disappointed. Really...lucky?

The nurse expertly helped Aine take the medicine, recorded a few data points, and then left, leaving the two of them alone again. But the delicate atmosphere had dissipated, replaced by a strange awkwardness.

"Aine, I'm going to the restroom this afternoon."

Without waiting for Aiyin's response, Lixi ran into the small bathroom in the ward and closed the door. She looked in the mirror, which reflected her red face and ears.

"Shiina Ritsuki, calm down." Ritsuki panted and whispered to himself in the mirror, "Aine already has a girlfriend, how could you have such thoughts?"

Although she has more than one girlfriend, that's not okay either... Yes, I'm a straight girl, and Aine and I are just good friends...

Although she hypnotized herself in her heart, it was obvious that such words could not calm her restless mood. In fact, the more she hypnotized herself, the clearer the image of Aine became in her mind.

Back then, Aine teased herself in the rehearsal room and counseled herself during RiNG...

Li Xi recalled every little detail of Aiyin and herself, and the palpitation came back. She turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, trying to wake herself up.

It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but it was ruined because I came so early.

Li Xi sighed and opened the bathroom door. Aiyin was already leaning on the pillow with her eyes closed.

Aine's eyelashes cast tiny shadows on her face, and her breathing was even and shallow. Riki sat in a chair and looked at her quietly. It was hard for her to connect the quiet girl in front of her with the chattering Aine in the past.

Back then, Aine hadn't seemed tired at all, and she'd always been mumbling during rehearsals, but now she was incredibly quiet... Was she afraid? Of course she was, afraid of losing a good friend, afraid of losing a good friend who was willing to spend time and energy to guide her... afraid of losing Chihaya Aine.

"Hmm, I'm hungry." Aiyin gently stroked her stomach, opened her eyes, and found Riki looking at her.

Their eyes met, and Riki quickly turned his face away, fearing that Aine would see the emotions in his eyes.

Aine chuckled, "Pfft, why does it seem like Rikki is so excited?"

"No." Li Xi shook his head.

Aiyin looked at the blush on Riki's face that had not faded, and her inner thoughts became more and more certain.

The next moment, the door was pushed open and Aine's mother walked in with breakfast and a report in her hand.

Aiyin pouted, looking aggrieved: "Mom, you're finally back! I was starving."

"Okay, Aine." Aine's mother sat next to Aine and prepared to feed her.

Aine noticed the report sheet in her mother's hand: "By the way, Mom, what's that sheet you're holding?"

"I just met Dr. Yamada on my way back from buying food. This is the test report he gave me about your AAV9 neutralizing antibodies."

Hearing this, Aine was stunned: "So...what was the result?"

Aine's mother smiled faintly, "Doctor Yamada said the results were normal, so don't worry."

Chapter 314: The Mutou people are too desperate

After Li Xi shared the good news from Aine's mother in the group, Xiangzi and the others finally felt relieved.

In a blink of an eye, two months have passed and it is summer vacation again.

Outside the window, green shade blocks out the sun and cicadas chirp, announcing the arrival of summer.

Inside the ward, Dr. Yamada and several other doctors stood beside Aine's bed, recording the data from the instruments.

"All the data are very stable." Dr. Yamada pushed up his glasses and turned to the doctor behind him and asked, "What about the toxic protein levels?"

"It has been in a suppressed state since a month ago, and it is still so now."
