Deng was a little confused: "Why did Aine-chan go to RiNG?"
"Xiao Mu said that Aiyin-chan knew that everyone was going back to Yisanqiju and the two umbrella-walking groups were here, so she told us to go straight to RiNG after we finish packing." Su Shi put away her phone, "Let's go."
……
In the cafe on the second floor of RiNG, Aiyin and the other four members of Mujica sat together.
"Sakki and the others haven't arrived yet?" Aine sat on the chair and yawned lazily.
Mu handed her phone to Aine and showed her the entire conversation she and Su Shi had just had: "Aine-chan, Su Shi and the others are almost here."
“Hmm?” Aine opened her eyes and looked at the phone on the table. “I see. By the way, Mumu, how are you guys practicing the song Sakki gave you?”
"The level is okay." Mu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"By the way, in the song she gave you, are the drums still difficult to play?"
Aine said, looking at Meowmu curiously, while the latter looked speechless. Meowmu nodded: "Ah, that's right... but at least it's simpler than «Symbol I:»."
For Miao Meng nowadays, as long as the song is simpler than "Symbol I:", it is at an acceptable level. She no longer holds out hope for Xiangzi to make a simple drum score.
"It's okay, Ruomai, I still believe in you." Hailing gently placed her hand on Miaomeng's shoulder with a firm look on her face.
"Thank you," Miao Meng said with a dark face, "If it's possible, I don't want it."
"Xiaoxiang should be practicing the three songs she composed during this period, right?" Chu Hua glanced at the others.
"I don't know," Miao Meng spread her hands, "but considering her personality, she should be practicing. It's okay, there's still a month, enough time for rehearsal."
"Of course I'm practicing."
A clear voice came to their ears through the automatic door. Looking up, they saw Xiangzi and his four companions walking into the cafe.
“Everyone, long time no see.” Aine slowly raised her right hand to greet them.
"Xiao Ai, how are you feeling now?" Xiangzi walked behind Aiyin and put his hand on the back of the chair.
In order to get to RiNG quickly, they didn't even go back to the agency. Xiangzi just called the agent on the way to report the situation. Of course, the agent didn't make things difficult for them. After understanding the general situation, he asked Xiangzi to talk to her alone when she returned to the agency for rehearsal.
"It's much better than when I was in the hospital anyway." Aine smiled sweetly.
Seeing this smile, Li Xi, who was following behind, blushed slightly. She unconsciously thought of the day when Su Shi asked her to take care of Ai Yin.
Neck, back, collarbone...
The image of Aine from that day reappeared in Lixi's mind, and she turned her face away.
Although I don't want to admit it, this frivolous and annoying guy is indeed a very good girl... whether in terms of emotional intelligence, mind, actions, or body...
No, what am I thinking!
Li Xi shook his head frantically, trying to get rid of everything he was thinking about.
"What are you doing?" A voice that only two people could hear reached Li Xi's ears.
It’s Hailing.
Li Xi was startled. She subconsciously glanced at the side of the table, then turned back to look at Hailing behind her. She didn't know when Hailing came behind her.
"I...no, nothing." Li Xi's face flushed. Although she was trying to argue, her words seemed pale and powerless in front of Hai Ling.
"Really?" Hailing naturally wouldn't believe Lixi's explanation, but she also knew that they were not alone together now, and she couldn't expose Lixi in front of so many people.
"Rikki, what are you talking about with Umirin?"
Hearing Aiyin's voice, Li Xi shuddered. She slowly turned around, her face slightly red: "Chatting."
Looking at Li Xi's expression, Hai Ling turned her face away, seemingly calm, but she had already laughed out loud in her heart.
It's rare to see her like this. It's as if all the shyness I felt when seeing Riki was all because of Aine... Does she like Aine too? Or... is it because of some other reason? But... none of these reasons are as reasonable as "liking"?
"When Tokyo Dome opens, let's go see the Mujica show together, shall we?"
"Okay." Li Xi responded perfunctorily, then pulled a chair and sat down, glancing at Aiyin from time to time. The latter didn't pay attention to her, but just smiled and chatted with Xiangzi and the others.
Hailing pulled out a chair and sat next to Lixi. She spoke softly, still in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and asked, "Do you like her?"
"Huh?" Li Xi turned his head stiffly and looked at Hai Ling with confusion, as if he didn't understand why she said that.
Chapter 331 I Overestimated You After All
"Eh what? I asked you if you like Aine?"
Hailing's straightforward words made Lixi not know how to respond for a moment. She lowered her head, looked at the menu on the table, and put her hands on the table, at a loss.
"Why don't you say anything more?" Hai Ling held her chin with one hand and looked at Li Xi's profile.
"I..." Li Xi's eyes were flustered, and he stammered, "I, it shouldn't be... I, I'm a straight girl."
"Really?" Hailing nodded, as if she had suddenly realized something. "You're not as credible as Chuhua saying you're a straight woman."
"Huh?" Li Xi turned his head stiffly and frowned at Hai Ling.
Chuhua confessed his love to Aiyin, and they all knew about it. Even if Lixi had a low EQ, she could hear the sarcasm in Hailing's words.
Li Xi lowered his head: "Hailing...I, I'm not kidding."
"Really?" Hai Ling couldn't help laughing. "Before you say that, at least look me in the eye. That way you'll seem more confident."
"I...I'm serious." Li Xi still lowered his head and muttered softly.
"Okay, if what you said is true." Hailing nodded, temporarily acknowledging Li Xi's understanding. "Then, when did your impression of Aine change?"
"Just...she had a heart-to-heart talk with me before." Li Xi still chose to trust Hailing.
Hailing's tone was calm, as if she was asking a very ordinary question: "Really, that was when you developed a crush on her?"
"At that time, there was a little bit... but it wasn't really..."
At this point, Li Xi suddenly realized that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at Hai Ling in surprise: "Are you trying to trick me?"
Hailing smiled and shook her head: "It's not a cliché, I just want to expose your lie that you are a straight woman."
Without waiting for Li Xi to speak, Hai Ling continued to ask: "So, you like her for what reason?"
Seeing this, Li Xi lowered his head and simply gave up resistance: "I... I don't know..."
"Pfft." Hailing chuckled and said jokingly, "Chuhua at least knew why he liked Aiyin. How come you're like this? You've already fallen for her after just two conversations?"
"Of course not..." Li Xi blushed and shook his head, "I, I didn't..."
"You're still saying no?" Hailing shook her head slightly. "You're really being stubborn..."
After a pause, Hailing continued, "You didn't fall in love with Aiyin because of her gentleness or something, did you?"
"Probably..." Li Xi turned his face away. Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Xi had thought so because of what Hai Ling said.
Just as Li Xi was brainstorming and thinking about why she fell in love with Ai Yin, Hai Ling's soft voice made her freeze in place.
"When are you going to confess?"
"Huh?" Li Xi turned her head blankly, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
Did I hear it wrong? What did Hailing just ask? When did I confess my feelings to Aine?
“How…how is this possible?” Li Xi shook his head frantically, “I, Aine and I are just good friends…”
"Good friends?" Hailing glanced back at Aiyin, who was still chatting with Chuhua, then turned back to look at Lixi, "Wasn't it the same with Chuhua before? Are you sure you don't want to confess and give it a try?"
"I...she and I are really just good friends..." Li Xi's voice became increasingly quiet, "and..."
Although Li Xi's voice was very low, because they were both in a corner, Hai Ling could still hear Li Xi's voice clearly with some effort: "And what? Because Ai Yin has another girlfriend? Or are you afraid that she doesn't like you?"
Although Riki only knew Hailing in high school, the latter could always guess his thoughts, and this time was no exception - part of the reason was indeed because of Xiangzi and the others, of course, more of it was because Riki was afraid of what Aine would think of him.
She knew very well in her heart that as long as the sun did not rise from the west, Aine's feelings for her would only remain as good friends - even if there had been that accident in the ward before.
Looking at Li Xi who was gradually sinking into melancholy, Hai Ling sighed and patted Li Xi's shoulder gently: "Don't be discouraged, just go after her bravely."
"?" Li Xi was confused. What did Hai Ling just say? Let him chase Ai Yin? Are you really not kidding?
Li Xi is very aware of her emotional intelligence. Regardless of whether her emotional intelligence supports her doing such a thing, even if she really supports it, with her proud mentality, she probably won't be able to say it out loud.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hailing's eyes twitched. "I'm seriously trying to help you think of something, okay?"
"You...I..." Li Xi wanted to refute, but he couldn't say what was on his mind. Helplessly, he could only sigh.
"Oh, right." After thinking for a moment, Hailing finally realized, "I don't think you'll chase after anyone else either."
Listening to Hailing say the most hurtful words in the calmest tone, Lixi clenched her fists. She had no way to refute it. This was the fact.
"but……"
Changing the subject, Li Xi looked Hai Ling up and down, and that undisguised look made Li Xi confused: "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If I can tell that you like Aine, then Aine herself must have noticed it a long time ago."
As soon as the words fell, Li Xi blinked her dull eyes: "What did you say?"
Li Xi still trusts Hai Ling in her heart, and she doesn't think Hai Ling would suddenly play such a joke on her.
But...if what Hailing said is true, then...
Thinking of this, Li Xi turned his head to look at Ai Yin, but the latter was still chatting with other people with a smile and did not notice him.
Could it be that... that guy has already discovered that I actually like her?
Although Li Xi had been correcting Hai Ling that she and Ain were just good friends, she knew in her heart that her feelings towards Ain were different from her feelings towards Deng, different from her feelings towards Hai Ling, and even more different from her feelings towards other people.
That feeling seemed to have taken root in her heart. Although she tried her best to control herself from thinking about it, whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Aine’s image would always appear in her mind. This phenomenon became even stronger after she accidentally saw Aine changing clothes.
She just has low emotional intelligence, but she is not stupid. Li Xi is very clear about her inner feelings.
"Aine noticed a long time ago that Chuhua liked her. Do you think she wouldn't notice that you like her?"
Listening to Hailing's words, Lixi's hands trembled a little: "But... isn't it because Chuhua's emotions are too obvious?"
"You noticed it too?" Hai Ling was stunned. She didn't expect Li Xi to be able to see it. It seemed that she had underestimated Li Xi.
"Wildcat told me."
“…” Hailing turned her face away in embarrassment. Okay, I overestimated it. I’m sorry, Lixi, I shouldn’t have wavered in my thinking.
Chapter 332 The Innately Evil Pink-haired Imp
"Actually... I felt like you were even more obvious than Chuhua just now."
Hailing's words completely panicked Lixi, who gently grabbed Hailing's shoulders and said, "Is it really that obvious?"
"Well, since you all came in just now, my eyes stayed on the five of you. Maybe I looked at you for a longer time..." Hailing turned her face away, "Chuhua just glanced at me casually at that time, so you were more obvious to me, right?"
Hailing tried to be as tactful as possible. In fact, to her, Lixi and Chuhua each had their own characteristics. Chuhua had an unconcealed look in his eyes, while Lixi had a different demeanor from ordinary people.
After all, when a person sees another person, he suddenly looks away and his face turns red, which is different from his usual carefree appearance, and anyone would be suspicious.
"Is that so?" Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hailing just looked at it a few more times and felt differently...
No! If Hailing can see it in just a few glances, then...Aine can see it too, right? But I didn't notice her looking at me...That means it shouldn't be a big problem - Li Xi comforted himself in his heart.
"So...are you going to confess?"
Hearing Hailing's question, Li Xi turned her attention to Deng - that was the person she admired the most. Now, she could sit next to Aine and chat and laugh with the person she loved.
And I could only sit aside and watch them quietly.
Although Aine has many girlfriends, for some reason, Li Xi still feels that he can accept it. If he has to give a reason, it is because he is familiar with each of them.
Except for Chuhua, but she believes that their relationship will get better in the future.
As for confessing her feelings, Li Xi had had this idea in her heart, but she strangled it in the cradle one by one.
The reason was simple. She was afraid—afraid of being rejected, afraid that she wouldn't be able to compare to Aine's other girlfriends...
Are these the only two reasons? Of course there are more than that...but Li Xi didn't want to think about it any further.
Li Xi withdrew his gaze and looked at the menu in front of him, a little absent-minded.
Su Shi, Mu, and Xiang Zi were all richer than herself, Chu Hua was more talented than herself, and Deng was so emotionally delicate that he wouldn't make Ai Yin feel uncomfortable. Compared to him, it seemed that she had no advantages...
Thinking of this, Li Xi lowered his head unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Hailing glanced back at Aiyin and the others, then fixed her gaze on Lixi. "Haven't you made up your mind yet?"
Li Xi shook his head: "Hailing, let's not talk about confessing. I... don't intend to say it out loud."
After saying this, Li Xi seemed to have been drained of all his strength.
"Why?" Hailing looked at her doubtfully, "Are you afraid of being rejected?"
