"Xiangzi, you seem to be lost too."
Xiangzi turned his head away, his voice trembling: "Aine, I want to... cut off... cut off the past. Please stop comforting me."
"Sakki, there should be some light in a person's heart, otherwise, once you get lost, you won't be able to find your way out."
"It's ok."
Hearing this, Aine's eyes were a little disappointed: "Does Sakki's past include me?"
"I..." Xiangzi wanted to nod, but found that his body seemed to be frozen out of control. Looking at Aine's eyes, his originally firm heart began to waver again.
What? What are you doing! Toyokawa Shoko! Aren't you going to cut off the past and forget everything? Aren't you going to realize your dream? Aren't you going to end this miserable present and kill your weak self? What are you doing now!?
Xiangzi roared heart-wrenchingly in his heart. At this moment, just like when he was in the activity room of the wind band club, he longed for redemption, but wanted to reject the light.
Aiyin extended her hand towards Xiangzi: "We talked to each other before, and didn't we agree to spend time with each other afterwards?"
Looking at the hand she longed for, Xiangzi stretched out her hand tremblingly, but when she raised it halfway into the air, she paused.
The desire for her ideal drove her to raise her hand, but the cruelty of reality stopped her from raising her arm.
"Although Sakki left Xiaodeng, because Xiaodeng once bathed in the glory of the white moonlight, she was still able to find the direction to move forward even when she was lost. Didn't Xiaodeng say that even if you are lost, you must move forward?"
"I am the White Moonlight? No, the White Moonlight is just an illusion that doesn't exist. My situation at the time allowed it, but now, all the pillars have collapsed. There is nothing left to support me to continue."
I don’t deserve it anymore. Now… I don’t even know what it feels like to “move forward”.
Chapter 30 You Are My White Moonlight
Aine shook her head and stretched out her hand, moving closer to Xiangzi again: "Sakki, I will always support you."
"What... Chihaya Aine, please don't... don't be so gentle anymore, okay." Xiangzi took a step back, "Please, let me... forget everything."
"Xiangzi, isn't it because you're confused that you want to forget everything?" This time, Aine directly grabbed Xiangzi's hand and didn't let go.
"Let me go! Chihaya Aine! Let me go!" Xiangzi struggled hard, but found that Aine's hands seemed to be wrapped around him and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
As if he had lost his mind, or was too embarrassed to face the situation, Xiangzi raised his other hand, drew an arc in the air, and landed heavily on Aine's face.
Snapped!
A crisp sound echoed in the silent park, and at this moment, time seemed to freeze.
After Xiangzi slapped Aine, she finally came to her senses and realized what she had done out of line.
Raising his hand, Xiangzi discovered that the hand he had just used to hit Aiyin was shaking uncontrollably.
At this moment, Xiangzi seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She sat down weakly on the bench, staring blankly at Aine who was standing beside her. One of her hands allowed Aine to hold it. "Why? Chihaya Aine, why... do you always break into my world when I'm at my most vulnerable!"
"Because I've always been by Sakki's side, if Sakki is confused..." Aine didn't hold a grudge against the slap Xiangzi had just given her when he was emotional. On the contrary, "I will always be with you and support you as you go on."
"Aren't we good friends who have opened up to each other... So, Sakki, can you turn around and look at me?"
Yes, we've opened up to each other and promised to be there for each other... I've already broken promises to Xiao Deng and Crychic, so am I going to break promises to Aine again...
Xiangzi took a deep breath and suppressed the moisture in her eyes. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Aiyin's flushed cheek but she didn't dare to: "Does it hurt...does it hurt?"
Aine shook her head: "If Sakki didn't have the past and me in her heart, then it would hurt."
“I’m sorry…” Xiangzi lowered the hand that was about to touch Aine’s cheek and leaned his head on Aine’s arms, “I’m sorry… Aine-chan, I’m sorry… I’ve let you down…”
"It's okay, Sakki. Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing about that kind of situation. I understand you." Aine gently stroked Xiangzi's long hair, her movements gentle, as if she was comforting a child.
In Xiangzi's mind, this scene gradually overlapped with the moment when Aine comforted him in the activity room.
If I really am Xiao Deng, the white moonlight of Crychic, then will Aine... be my white moonlight?
Without a doubt, yes, Aine... is my white moonlight.
At this moment, Xiangzi felt that his knot with Crychic and the past had been untied.
She raised her head, her eyes once again filled with tears. Xiangzi hugged Aine tightly with one hand, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to merge Aine into his body. With the other hand, he clamped Aine's hand, and their fingers were interlocked.
"Aine-chan...please stay with me...I have nothing else but you."
"Well, I will."
After making a fuss and crying, Xiangzi's emotions gradually calmed down. She leaned in Ain's arms and asked the question in her heart: "Why does Ain always break into my life at such a timely manner?"
"Yeah, why?" Aine gently played with Xiangzi's hair, "Maybe it's because Sakki and I have a telepathic connection."
"We have such a telepathic connection." Xiangzi got up from Aine's arms and looked at Aine's blushing cheeks again. Unconsciously, Xiangzi's mouth was already close to Aine's face.
"Sakki?"
Finally, Xiangzi seemed to have made up his mind. He gently placed his mouth on the red and swollen area and blew air carefully. Every breath seemed to be saying "I'm sorry".
"It's so itchy, Sakki." Aine twisted her body unconsciously, trying to avoid Xiangzi's apology, but because Xiangzi hugged her body, she could only accept it passively.
After stopping blowing, Xiangzi took Aine's hands and told her what he was thinking: "Aine-chan, I want to take a new step."
"A new step?"
"I want to form a band, a band without dreams, only profit, but... it should be very tiring."
"Is that so? Since it's Sakki's choice, I support you." Aine's gentle gaze was like water, gently wrapping Xiangzi around her. It seemed that Xiangzi would drown in this gentleness in the next moment. "If you get tired in the middle, look back, I'll be right behind you."
"Well, I believe Aine-chan." Xiangzi leaned on Aine's chest again, feeling her reassuring chest and warm heartbeat.
At this moment, Xiangzi had forgotten all the nightmares that Aine had mentioned during their first conversation. She now had only one thought in her mind: Aine is behind me, she has always been behind me.
She was already certain in her heart that she could not leave the girl in front of her. This girl intoxicated her, made her feel at ease, and made her obsessed. Her life had fallen into her hands.
But I am very happy.
"Aine-chan... Shoko, I'm back."
The two turned their heads and saw Mu holding a bottle of drink in his hand.
"Here, Aine-chan."
Aiyin took the drink that Mu handed over, and after confirming again and again that it was the only bottle of drink, she couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Did Xiaomu buy it just for me? What about you? And Sakki..."
"Because...Aine-chan asked me to buy you a drink."
Hearing this, Aine couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, pondering over what she had just said.
Well, Xiao Mu did buy the equivalent amount of drinks according to his own words, so let’s just treat this bottle as three bottles.
Aiyin tilted her head back and took a big gulp of the drink. She felt her throat, which had been a little smoky, feel better now. "Huh, I feel better now. Sakki, do you want a drink?"
"Yeah, drink." Xiangzi glanced at Mu who was standing next to her. The words on the tip of her tongue were not said out of shyness. She climbed up from Aine's arms, took the drink from Aine's hand and took a sip.
Aine was a little dazed. She raised her hand to rub her eyes. After confirming that she had seen correctly, she couldn't help but ask the question in her mind: "Sakki...did you drink directly from the bottle?"
"Hmm? Is there something wrong, Aine-chan?"
Xiangzi acted nonchalant and as if it was all natural, but this made Aiyin lose her confidence: "Then we... this, does it count..."
“Pfft…” Xiangzi had already guessed what Aine would say next and chuckled, “Then let Aine imagine it.”
Chapter 31 Triangle Begins
Aiyin's face flushed a little because of shyness. She took the drink handed to her by Xiangzi and handed it to Mu: "Xiao Mu, do you want a drink?"
Mu shook his head stiffly: "No... no need."
"Sakki, look, Xiaomu is shy."
Xiangzi chuckled and said nothing.
Helpless, Aine could only drink the remaining drink. After throwing it into the trash can, she looked at Xiangzi with some distress: "Really, Sakki, you threw all the remaining problems of Crychic to me. I used to have Suyo to help me share the burden, but now she is angry too."
"She's angry?" Xiangzi's attitude immediately changed after hearing Su Shi's question. "What is she angry about?"
"She said that we played Kasuga Shadow and it made you cry."
"Still obsessed with the past, still obsessed with Crychic, how ugly." Xiangzi sighed helplessly, "Aine-chan, I originally wanted to explain everything to her after the live today, but because of this incident, so..."
Aine nodded thoughtfully, "I see..."
Xiangzi looked at Mu, his eyes filled with speechlessness and disgust: "Mu, I've blocked her. Please make an appointment with her and then we can talk to her face to face."
"Xiangzi, when do you want to...?"
At night, Aine returned home.
"Ain, you're back." Seeing her daughter return, Ain's mother happily took the guitar off her back and asked, "How was your live performance, Ain?"
Aiyin nodded and didn't tell her mother about the unexpected incident after the performance. She just shared the joy of the successful live performance: "It was a big success, Mom. I played it so well. My friends are all praising me. Hehe, I'm really good."
"Yes, my daughter is the best." Mom hugged Ain into her arms. Feeling her mother's warm embrace, Ain sighed in her heart. Then she would go to the hospital alone tomorrow to check her condition and not let her mother worry.
Aine lay down on the bed and opened her phone. A striking message caught her attention: Nagasaki Suyo had left the group chat.
Alas, the days go by... If I were not here, would there not be so many things to do?
If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have gotten to know everyone, wouldn't have formed a band with Xiao Deng, Rikki, Su Shi-san, and Le Na, wouldn't have held a Live with them, wouldn't have invited Sakki and Xiao Mu to watch... and none of this would have happened... It seems like it's really my fault...
If only I hadn't lived...
But... I don't want to die... I still want to live...
Aiyin hugged her doll tightly, as if only this could make her heavy mood feel better.
She had a dreamless night. The next day after school, Aiyin said goodbye to Xiaodeng and Xiangzi and went to the hospital alone, where she met her attending physician again.
"Aine-san, we agreed to a checkup every three months, so why are you here today? And only one person?"
Aine nodded, "I don't want to make Mom and Dad worry anymore."
"Oh, so what brings you here today?"
"These past few days, I've been feeling like my legs are suddenly weak. I think my condition is getting worse."
"Have you done any strenuous activities in the past few days? Or have your moods been very fluctuating?"
"I did run a lot, and even performed live... but my mood was definitely a little down."
After listening to Aiyin's words, the attending physician nodded, as if he understood the reason. "With your illness, you should avoid strenuous activities and excessive mood swings. If you do live, try to do so as little as possible, otherwise it will aggravate your condition."
"That's it..."
……
Chu Hua walked out of the planetarium and saw the girl who had been haunting her dreams.
"Chuhua, you still like stars so much."
"Xiao Xiang..." Chuhua's eyes flashed with light, and she hurried to Xiangzi. To her, the charm of the stars was not even one-tenth of that of the girl in front of her.
Chuhua brought Xiangzi to a rooftop and walked on a small bridge. On both sides, there was green grass and colorful flowers blooming, emitting a faint fragrance. Under the bridge, the waves were rippling and the water surface was like a mirror, reflecting the figures of the two girls on the bridge.
Xiangzi gently brushed the blue hair away from his ears: "I'm sorry, it was obviously me who asked you to come out. I have to leave soon."
When Chu Hua saw Xiangzi, she seemed to have a thousand words in her heart: "It's okay, I'm very happy to see you for a while. The last time we met was about a year ago. Thank you for calling me. I was a little surprised by your sudden call, but I'm very happy."
"No need to thank me for this."
"Every time I see the messages you send me, I gain courage... I'm sure you sent me those when you debuted. You became the singer I always dreamed of."
Xiangzi was a little surprised: "You still remember it?"
Chu Hua smiled sweetly: "I told you, I watch it often."
"Is work going well?"
"It's okay. What about you, Xiaoxiang? You were in a band before, right? Your live last year was amazing. What was the name of the band... Cry..."
Hearing this, Xiangzi did not react excessively. Instead, he replied calmly, "It was called Crychic, but it has disbanded."
Chu Hua sighed with some emotion: "Is that so..."
Xiangzi turned around and leaned against the green bridge railing: "Why did you choose this roof?"
Chu Hua walked to Xiangzi's side and looked up at the sky: "Because it is close to the sky."
"It's always summer when I look up at the sky with you."
"I miss you so much. Every summer, you would come to my island." Chuhua nodded and couldn't help but recall the time when he met Xiangzi that year.
"I miss you so much." Xiangzi's thoughts gradually drifted away, but suddenly, the vibration of her phone brought her back to the present. "It's time... Chuhua, today, I have something very serious to tell you..."
In the deserted room, Su Shi was lying alone on the soft bed. The sudden sound of her cell phone made her eyes light up. She picked up the phone, but found that it was not a reply from the person she expected.
Ignoring Aine's greeting, Su Shi opened Xiangzi's chat box again. On it, she sent a series of apologies and assurances to Xiangzi, but received no response.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and quickly searched on the browser - how to confirm that she was blocked on the social network.
