I'm really tired. I've been scribbling on paper day and night these days, and now I actually feel that the words I wrote have a rhythm.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Xiao Ai, do you also think I'm a little stupid now? I actually still want the words I casually write to have a sense of rhythm... If that's the case, I can also write lyrics..."
But the next moment, Xiangzi grabbed a pen, quickly copied down the words that popped up on a piece of paper, and then wrote down a few notes next to them without thinking.
As she hummed softly, a simple yet moving melody flowed out naturally.
Xiangzi looked at the photo in her other hand tremblingly, put down the pen in her right hand, and put the photo against her chest. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but tears flowed again: "Xiao Ai, did you hear what I said to you? If possible, I feel like these words can be written into a song."
The room was silent, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing in from outside the window. Xiangzi took a deep breath and muttered, "You clearly said you would never push me away or abandon me again, but in the end you still left me alone..."
Xiangzi's mind resurfaced the time when she and Aine played in the Haneda wind band club. At that time, she could make a wish to Aine, no matter what it was.
I remember very clearly that the wish I made was not to push myself away, but... this wish was not fulfilled.
Xiangzi gently stroked the photo: "You are such a person who values promises. You have been thinking about how to make a lifelong promise for mygo... But, my promise... You broke your promise."
"Really? Do you know how angry I am now?" Although Xiangzi said it angrily, there was no trace of anger in his words. Instead, they were full of grievances and complaints.
"Why...why are you so cruel to abandon us?" Xiangzi's grip on the photo tightened. "Our lives have just begun."
When her eyes fell on the improvised melody again, an idea suddenly struck her - why not actually write these words into a song? A complete song that belongs to Aine.
Once the thought comes, it can no longer be ignored.
Xiangzi took out all the draft papers and began to carefully organize the scattered words on the desk.
As I continued to organize the music, more and more memories came to mind, and the lyrics and melody became clearer.
After sorting out all the lyrics that he could use, Xiangzi put on his headphones and started one of his most familiar jobs again - composing music.
Tears blurred his vision again, but this time, unlike the first time he heard the news of Aine's death, Xiangzi only felt a strange calm.
She wiped away her tears, picked up her notebook and photos, and sat down in front of the folding keyboard.
Her fingers gently fell on the keys. This time, she was not doing it for practice or work. Her purpose was very pure, just for Aiyin.
The melody flowed naturally like running water, and the lyrics came to my mind one by one.
Xiangzi devoted himself to his creation and temporarily forgot about time and pain.
The last note trembled in the air and then slowly dissipated. Xiangzi's fingers hovered above the keyboard for a long time, unwilling to let go, as if this could preserve that moment.
She had thought that completing the song would bring some kind of relief, or at least the satisfaction of having completed a memorial to Aiyin. But as she looked at the densely packed notes and lyrics on the music paper, an unprecedented sense of emptiness and confusion surged over her like a tide, drowning all her previous creative enthusiasm.
It was getting dark outside the window, and Xiangzi stared at her own reflection on the dark lacquer surface of the keyboard - blurry and distorted, just like her current mood.
"Xiao Ai, I'm done." She whispered softly into the air, her voice unusually loud in the silent room. "Do you... like it?"
Chapter 408 Do you want to disband mygo?
Hailing was still sitting at home, looking at the lavender specimen in her hand, and she sighed.
I had clearly planned to confess my feelings to Aine after she had finished the surgery, but in the end... I would have to keep these words in my heart for the rest of my life.
Carefully placing the lavender specimen on the table, Hailing lay down on the bed.
Two days ago, thanks to Hailing's efforts, Lixi finally came to school. After seeing that she was fine, Hailing was relieved.
My life has not been easy during this period. I have to pretend nothing happened at school, but when I return to my lonely home, I can't help but think of the good times in the past... After experiencing the light, I don't want to experience the darkness again.
"Ding."
Just as Hailing was tossing and turning in her memories of her previous life, the phone she had put aside suddenly popped up a notification. She reached out to pick up the phone, her pupils shrinking slightly. It turned out to be a message sent by Xiangzi in the group.
[Xiangzi: Everyone, do you have time today? Do you want to come out for a while?]
Hailing stared blankly at Xiangzi's message. Several minutes had passed, but still no one replied to her.
A few minutes later, Lenai was the first to respond to Xiangzi's message.
[Lenai: I’m in RiNG.]
After Lenai's reply, others also started to reply...
In RiNG, Lenai is sitting alone in the second-floor cafe. Not only are there no other customers, there are not even any staff members.
In fact, when Lenai first arrived, the staff were still there. However, Lenai no longer had any interest in playing the guitar, and was not even in the mood to eat matcha parfait. So after learning that Lenai did not need anything, the staff left the second floor and went to the first floor.
For Lenai, every time she sees the matcha parfait, she always thinks of the matcha parfait that Aine treated her to before her surgery.
Lenai lay on the table, pouting, looking aggrieved: "Aine is just a liar... She clearly said that she would form a band with everyone for life, but in the end... She is such a bad woman."
At this point, Lenai closed her eyes: "And Rikki... They were supposed to be in a band for life, but now they're actually disbanding Mygo... Deng hasn't expressed his opinion, and Su Shi hasn't come either. I don't know what to do..."
Lenai slowly raised her face and placed one hand on her chin: "It was Aine who formed the band... If we want to disband, it should be Aine who does it."
Just as Lenai was daydreaming, Xiangzi was the first to arrive at RiNG.
When he saw Xiangzi, Lenai raised his head and asked, "Meeting, why..."
"Deng sent me a message yesterday, saying that Rikki wanted to disband mygo." Xiangzi sighed lightly. In fact, it would be best to let Deng and Su Shi solve this kind of thing. After all, he was a member of Mujica, and it was obviously not a good idea for him to interfere in mygo's affairs.
But since Deng found herself instead of Su Shi, it must mean that she can't contact Su Shi now, right?
I organized this meeting myself and didn't expect to invite everyone, but... most of them should be able to come, right?
At least... we can't keep going on like this, right?
"So... do you want to stop Rikki?" Lenai asked with her head tilted.
Xiangzi hesitated for a moment and nodded gently: "After all... this is the band that Xiaoai has tried her best to protect, and I don't want it to disband..."
Even if it is a band that only exists in name and no one comes to join, it is at least better than a band that disbands.
"Yeah." Lenai nodded, a glint in her eyes, "I don't want to either."
Just as the two were discussing, Miao Meng walked into the coffee shop on the second floor. She stood at the door and glanced at the two of them.
Miao Meng didn't go to Mujica these days. She kept herself locked in the room, practicing "Symbol I: " desperately.
Although Miao Meng herself didn't know why she had to practice, she knew that this song was Aiko's favorite in Mujica.
So... I kept practicing this song.
Even before Xiangzi sent the message, he was still practicing. In more than a week, he practiced for nearly fifty hours, and it seemed as if he had no fatigue threshold.
"Why did you ask us to come out?" Miao Meng glanced at Xiangzi, walked to the chair, pulled it out and sat down.
"Let's discuss the future of mygo and the subsequent development of Mujica."
"Mygo?" Miao Meng frowned slightly, as if this was indeed necessary. After all, her beloved son was no longer with her, but...
Miao Meng was puzzled: "Shouldn't the issue of Mygo's retention be left to Xizi and the others to solve on their own?"
"That's what I said." Xiangzi nodded, "But Rikki wants to disband MyGO, but the others don't, so there are some disagreements."
"Is that so." Miao Meng understood in her heart. She also understood why Li Xi wanted to disband mygo. As long as mygo survived, the shadow of Aine's death would become greater for Li Xi.
No longer obsessed with mygo, Miao Meng continued to ask: "What about Mujica? Will there be any more activities in the future?"
After playing with Mujica for such a long time, Miao Meng is no longer as obsessed with money as before. Instead, she feels that immersing herself in the sound of the drums can make her more relaxed.
"Aiko is gone, so does Mujica... still have meaning?"
Miao Meng's sharp question reached Xiangzi's ears. The latter frowned and shook his head slightly: "Yes."
"Don't forget Mu."
Hearing this, Miao Meng was stunned for a moment. She looked away embarrassedly. Indeed, she only thought about Aiko and completely ignored why Muzi was able to stay in Mujica in the first place - she made a bet with her mother.
If Mujica were gone, Mutsuko's life would definitely be more difficult.
"I understand." Miao Meng crossed her arms, "When they arrive, let's have a good chat with them."
After that, Deng Li and Hai Ling walked into the coffee shop one after another.
"Xiangzi, is there anything you want us to do?" Hailing's eyes switched back and forth between the other four people.
"Rikki wants to disband MyGO."
Xiangzi's short words stunned Hailing. She hadn't expected this to happen: "Disband mygo? Lixi? What is she thinking?"
"I don't know." Xiangzi shook his head. "The lamp told me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu slowly walked into the coffee shop and looked at the people inside. Her face was calm: "I didn't expect everyone to come so quickly."
"Muzi, long time no see." Miao Meng greeted.
"Long time no see, Ruomai." Mu responded softly.
Just as they were talking, Li Xi walked into the coffee shop Yiling VII Steak House and looked at Yue Yi. In an instant, the whole coffee shop was quiet and everyone's eyes fell on her.
As if he was a little unaware of being stared at by others, Li Xi asked directly: "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"
Xiangzi had no intention of chatting with Rikki, so she went straight to the point: "Rikki, do you want to disband Mygo?"
Li Xi was not surprised at all by such straightforward words. She seemed to have expected it and nodded immediately: "Yes, I want to disband mygo, what's wrong?"
Chapter 409 The Right Sense of Distance
"I don't agree." Xiangzi shook his head in objection. "After all, Xiaoai built mygo single-handedly. Would she agree if you just dismantled mygo like this?"
Li Xi turned his head away, not daring to meet Xiangzi's eyes: "No matter what, MyGO won't be performing anymore. How is that any different from disbanding?"
Deng shook his head: "But... Li Xi, why can't we keep mygo since it is the most precious thing Aine-chan left us?"
Seeing Deng's painful appearance, Lixi showed a trace of pity in her eyes. She also wanted to keep it, but every time she thought of mygo, she would think of the pink-haired girl in her memory and fall into grief.
She knew that what she did was extremely selfish, but she was terrified of living like this.
Li Xi walked up to Deng and patted her shoulder: "Deng, we... must look forward..."
This was the first time she disagreed with Deng's opinion.
But after saying this, Li Xi lowered her head. She didn't know how she had the nerve to say such things. After all, it was obviously just for her own selfish desires.
"But, there's no conflict between looking forward and keeping MyGO, right?" Hailing did not agree with Li Xi's idea.
"Yes, after all, it was Aiko who formed the band herself." Miao Meng nodded. "Don't you think Xizi feels like Aiko is still here when she looks at Mygo?"
"No..." Li Xi shook her head. How could she not have this feeling? It was precisely because of this feeling that she proposed the idea of disbanding mygo.
"Rikki..." Xiangzi started to speak, but before he could finish what he wanted to say, he was interrupted by a voice at the door.
"Lixi, have you thought it over? Do you really want to disband mygo?" Su Shi walked into the coffee shop. Her face was extremely calm, as if she was talking about something unimportant.
Without waiting for Li Xi to express his opinion, Su Shi continued, "I won't stop you. If you want to disband, then go ahead. But... after this disbandment, there will no longer be a band called MYGO."
After Su Shi finished speaking, Li Xi was stunned. She had never thought about this matter, but now that Su Shi brought it up, she found that what Su Shi said was right.
If I really disband mygo, this band will never appear again... because the people who formed mygo have left, and their band can never go back to the way it was before.
Thinking of this, Li Xi's nose felt sore and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "I'm sorry... I, whenever I think of mygo, I will think of her..."
Sadness spread in the coffee shop. Deng looked at Lixi and couldn't help but shed tears.
However, Su Shi looked at the crying Li Xi, and her voice remained the same: "Li Xi, even if mygo is not here, will you forget her?"
Su Shi's question was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Li Xi's heart.
A light-hearted remark made Li Xi not know how to respond. Su Shi was right. Even without Mygo, he could not forget her... All he did was just deceiving himself.
After a long time, Li Xi shook his head gently.
Seeing this, Su Shi didn't say much to her. She turned to look at Xiangzi and asked, "Xiao Xiang, did you call us out just to discuss whether MyGO should disband?"
"Uh...yeah." Xiangzi nodded. "Of course, I also want to see how everyone is doing now."
"Is that so?" Su Shi nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a smile that had a sense of boundaries, "Then I'll trouble Xiaoxiang."
Xiangzi didn't say anything, she just kept her eyes on Su Shi quietly. For some reason, the Su Shi in front of her made her feel a little strange. The sound of the clapper that she was once familiar with didn't seem so friendly anymore, with a just right sense of distance.
Xiangzi murmured softly, "Su Shi...?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Shi tilted his head slightly, his expression gentle.
"No... nothing." Xiangzi shook her head. She seemed to understand Su Shi's motives in her heart, and she didn't intend to point it out to Su Shi. Since Su Shi wanted to be alone, she wouldn't be so rude to disturb her.
Seeing that Xiangzi didn't intend to say anything, Su Shi didn't intend to ask either.
Mu, who was standing nearby, had noticed the guitar bag behind Su Shi early on. After Su Shi and Xiang Zi finished their conversation, she finally had the chance to raise her hand: "Su Shi, is the guitar behind you... Aine-chan's?"
"Oh yes." Su Shi took off the guitar bag and gently unzipped it, revealing an old light green guitar hidden inside.
This guitar hasn't been played for a long time.
"You..." Before Mu finished speaking, Su Shi guessed what she was going to say.
