MYGO's guitarist has ice attribute bonus

"I made this handicraft in England." Aiyin held it up and handed it to Hailing. "It's a lavender specimen. It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

"Yeah." Hailing nodded and reached out to take the lavender specimen.

Hailing's outline was shrouded in a hazy layer by the glass. The bunch of lavender lay silently in the frame, with the slender stems fixed with a red ribbon. Although this specimen was made when Ain was studying abroad, Hailing was surprised that the lavender inside was not seriously faded.

Hailing affirmed, "It looks very nice."

"Is that so? Since it looks nice, can I give it to you?"

"Hmm?" Hailing raised her head. "Why did you suddenly give it to me? Isn't this yours?"

"Of course it's mine." Aiyin nodded. She looked at the lavender specimen in Hailing's hand. "This is the most perfect bunch of lavender I found when I was studying in England, so... I want to give it to you."

"Really?" Hailing sat down next to Aine, her eyes fixed on Lavender. "Do you... have something to hide?"

Hearing this, Aine was stunned: "Huh?"

Umirin also guessed it...

Seeing Aiyin's reaction, Hailing had the answer in her heart. Her tone was very natural: "I like the things very much, so I accepted them. Thank you."

Aiyin didn't say anything, she knew that Hailing had become suspicious.

The silence was deafening. Hailing quickly changed the subject: "Lavender... Why did you think of giving me lavender? And not something else..."

“Ah? Oh…” Aine came back to her senses, a smile plastered on her face again, “Actually, didn’t we have a good chat the other day? You said you were looking forward to meeting someone you like, so… I thought of giving you this. Doesn’t the meaning of lavender mean waiting for love?”

Hearing this, Hailing nodded. She knew that lavender not only means "waiting for love", but also freedom, independence, trust, etc., which are also what she expects.

Holding the frame tightly in her hand, Hailing smiled and said, "Well, thank you."

I never thought that one day I would receive a gift of this significance...

After a moment of sighing, Hailing stood up and turned to look at Aiyin: "Then, you take..."

Hailing paused, then coughed twice: "How are you feeling?"

"Your body? I've recovered very well now." Aine raised her arm, and it didn't look very difficult.

"Can I go back by myself?"

"can."

After saying that, Hailing looked back. This place wasn't too far from Aiyin's house, only a few hundred meters away. She nodded and said, "Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

“Yeah.” After watching Hailing leave, Aine slowly stood up. “Next… it’s Lena-chan and Tomorin. Lena-chan… probably wants to have a matcha parfait, right? And Tomorin… is perfect.”

Aine smiled, knowing everything was under her control. She took out her cell phone and opened Lenai's chat box separately.

[Aine: Lena-chan, do you want to go eat matcha parfait together?]

After a few minutes, a line of words finally appeared on Aine's phone screen: The other party is typing...

[Lena: Okay.]

[Aine: Let’s go to RiNG now.]

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hailing made sure that there was no one around and then she called Xiangzi directly.

A voice rang out from the other end of the line: "Hello, Hailing, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

Hailing got straight to the point and asked, "Did Aine give you a gift?"

"Ah."

"Is there anyone else?"

"Sushi, Mu, Rikki, Chuhua, and Ruomai, what's wrong?" Xiangzi paused, "Did you receive it too?"

"Well, I have a feeling something big might be happening."

"Really? We all said Xiao Ai was very stable and sunny. It didn't look like anything serious was wrong at all."

“But don’t you think that if Aine was really just giving a normal gift… why didn’t she just call us all together and give it directly? Why would she go through so much trouble…”

After Hailing finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "You're right, we were all happy about the gift Xiaoai gave us... We didn't think too much about it."

"Contact your aunt or Dr. Yamada."

"it is good."

After Xiangzi hung up the phone, Hailing called Lixi again: "Hello?"

"what happened?"

"Contact Lenai and Touma and ask them which one of them is with Aine now."

"what happened?"

"I feel like there might be something wrong."

"it is good."

Moments after hanging up the phone, Li Xi's message appeared in Hailing's chat box.

[Lixi: Wildcat said Aine just made an appointment with her to go to RiNG.]

Just when Hailing was about to reply, Xiangzi's phone call interrupted her thoughts. After talking with Xiangzi, Hailing's face really became gloomy.

[Hailing: Lixi, let’s go to RiNG. We can talk on the way if you have anything to say.]

[Lixi: OK.]

Meanwhile, Aiyin finally arrived at RiNG. She walked into the second floor and saw Lenna playing the guitar.

"Little Lenai." Aine called softly. After hearing her voice, Lenai stopped playing the guitar, put the guitar aside, and came to Aine.

"Matcha Parfait..."

"Ah."

Chapter 380 RiNG's Interception

On the first floor of RiNG, Xiangzi and the others had already gathered there. She counted the number of people: "We are still short of one lamp."

"Deng said he'll be here soon." Li Xi glanced at his phone.

"That's good." Xiangzi nodded. After asking Dr. Yamada just now, she suddenly became uneasy. She never expected that Aine actually concealed such an important matter from them.

Just after they met in RiNG, Xiangzi told everyone truthfully about her conversation with Dr. Yamada.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the few people has dropped to freezing point.

It was hard to tell whether the expression on Su Shi's face was anger or sadness. She thought that what Aine said in such a relaxed tone must be a good thing, but the truth was beyond her expectations.

"I... I'm here." The voice of the lamp reached everyone's ears.

Everyone turned around to see Deng, panting heavily, standing at the door of RiNG. She rested her hands on her legs and stammered, "You're suddenly so anxious...w-what's wrong?"

Li Xi walked to the lamp and patted her back gently: "Deng, don't worry."

"Deng, this is what happened..." After Xiangzi told Deng about his conversation with Dr. Yamada, the latter took a few steps back in disbelief. Fortunately, Li Xi was quick to grab Deng, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

"How...how could this happen?" Deng ignored the beads of sweat on his forehead. "Dr. Yamada clearly didn't tell us back at the hospital that microenvironmental manipulation would have such serious consequences..."

Xiangzi nodded: "Indeed, this is a problem they discovered later in the experiment... Doctor Yamada also tried to persuade Xiao Ai, but... Xiao Ai insisted on having surgery."

Hearing this, Deng shook his head violently: "No... No, Aine-chan... obviously has a more stable choice. She... where is she?"

"Upstairs." Mu looked up at the second floor.

"Xiao Ai should send you a message later." Chu Hua said softly, "Now Xiao Deng, you are the only one left."

"Me?" Deng was stunned. I was the only one left. What does that mean?

Su Shi explained, "Xiao Deng, Aine-chan wants to give everyone a gift, but we originally wanted Aine-chan to give you a surprise, so we didn't tell you."

"Is... is that so?" Deng nodded blankly, "I... I want to go up and find her."

Hearing this, the others looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, Xiangzi spoke: "It's just right, Deng. Xiao Ai hasn't given you a gift yet, so why don't you pretend to meet her by chance? When the time is right, we'll go in."

"Timing?" Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi, not quite understanding what she meant by "timing".

"Okay, I understand." Deng nodded, and under Miao Meng's puzzled eyes, she went upstairs.

"Xiangzi, what exactly do you mean by timing?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Xiangzi went up the stairs. "Follow Deng, we'll be outside the coffee shop."

When Deng Deng walked into the cafe, Aine was sitting on a chair, watching Lenna eating matcha parfait beside her.

"Xiao Lenai, how is your freshman year of high school going?"

"Hmm..." Le Nai stopped what she was doing and was stunned for a moment, "It's okay, about the same as junior high school."

“Really?” Aine nodded.

The next moment, Lenai looked behind Aine curiously. After confirming again and again that Lenai was not looking at her, Aine also turned around and happened to meet Deng's reluctant eyes.

"Tomorin?" Aine was a little surprised. She was about to stand up when Deng came over and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Aine-chan, you don't have to get up, just sit still."

"Tomorin, why did you come to RiNG suddenly?"

Hearing Aine's question, Deng lowered his head and sat aside: "I was called here."

"Who is it?" Aine asked curiously.

"By the way...Aine-chan, why are you here?" Deng did not answer Aine's question.

"I made an appointment with Lenai to have matcha parfait. Oh, right, it's just in time." Aine reached into her pocket. Tomorin happened to be here. So, she could just give the gift to her and then call everyone out and tell them clearly, right?

When Aine raised her hand, there was a stone in her hand.

The moment he saw the stone, Deng was stunned: "This is..."

"Tomorin, do you remember that you gave me a stone called the sun? The stone in my hand looks very similar to the sun. I call it the moon. Now I give it to you."

Originally, Aine wanted to name this stone "Star" because Deng likes to look at stars, but after thinking about it, she felt that "Moon" and "Sun" were more suitable, so this name came about.

“The moon…” Deng carefully took the stone. She could feel that the stone was very heavy, not only because of the weight of the stone itself, but more importantly, it was because of the unique feelings of Aine that were embodied in the stone.

Deng looked at the stone in his hand, and Xiangzi's words just now seemed to ring in his ears again...

Now it seems like when Aine-chan said that she would form a band with me for the rest of her life, I suddenly found out that she had ALS.

But the difference from before is... now, after giving me the gift, she's going to undergo that surgery herself, that... surgery with no chance of survival...

The stone in her hand became more and more eye-catching, Deng's body trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

"Tomorin?" Aine realized that something was wrong with Deng, so she gently held Deng's hand. However, Deng felt as if his whole body was burned. He suddenly stood up and took a few steps back, looking at Aine in horror.

It was the first time that Aine saw Tomo like this. She asked worriedly, "Tomorin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meanwhile, Lenai, who was standing next to them, had already finished her matcha parfait and was staring blankly at the two of them: "Deng... is she scared?"

"Scared?" Aine was confused. Why would Tomorin be scared? What did I do to make her scared...

Thinking of this, Aiyin's pupils shrank. Could it be... that Tomorin already knew the reason why I was doing all this?

"tomorin..."

Before Aine could finish her words, Deng interrupted, "Aine-chan, why did you want to have that surgery?"

As expected – Aine thought to herself, it was exactly as she thought.

Tomorin really knew the consequences of this operation.

"No, Tomorin, let me explain..."

After Aiyin finished speaking, Xiangzi's voice came from behind her: "Xiao Ai, how do you want to explain?"

"Everyone..." Aiyin stared blankly at the people behind her, a drop of cold sweat dripping down the back of her head. Everyone... everyone knows?

"I was wondering why you suddenly gave us gifts..." Chu Hua clenched his fists, looking angry. "Why didn't you tell us the results of the surgery?"

Su Shi stood aside with a fierce look in her eyes. She didn't expect that Ai Yin would dare to hide it from her again, even though she had already told her so clearly in the beginning.

Not only Su Shi, but also Li Xi.

"Aine-chan..." A trace of pain flashed in Mu's eyes, "Why?"

Chapter 381 Microenvironment Control Surgery Begins

"Well...well, actually, I was planning to tell you after I gave you the gifts." Aine lowered her head. She knew that she was wrong in this matter, but she didn't want to keep it a secret from them anymore.

But after hearing Aine's words, the others looked clearly skeptical.
