Miao Meng tightened her clothes: "It's so cold."

Chu Hua nodded. Her complexion had recovered a lot, but there were still some dark circles around her eyes. "After all, it's deep winter now."

Arriving at Aiyin's tombstone, everyone took turns going forward to place the fresh flowers, saying a few words, or just standing quietly for a while.

Su Shi was the last one. Her fingers were shaking slightly and she could hardly hold the bouquet of daisies in her hand.

“Aine-chan…I’m sorry,” she whispered, so quietly that only she could hear it, “I haven’t been here this whole time. You won’t blame me, will you?”

Su Shi squatted down and gently stroked the cold surface of the tombstone with his fingers.

"No way."

The familiar voice sounded in front of her again. Su Shi looked up suddenly and her sight passed over several rows of tombstones. The familiar figure was standing not far from her.

Staring blankly at Aine who was not far away, Su Shi lowered her head and looked at the tombstone in front of her in confusion.

Eh? That's weird... Aine-chan is still alive, so why is there a tombstone for her? Is today April Fools' Day? But... isn't April Fools' Day a bit too much?

Without giving it any more thought, Su Shi stood up and walked towards Aine who was in the distance.

Deng, who was standing behind Su Shi, looked at her suspiciously: "Su Shi?"

But Su Shi did not hear Deng's call. Her pace was getting faster and faster, from the uncertain slow walk at the beginning to the fast walk, and now to the running.

"Su Shi!?" Xiangzi wanted to grab her, but he couldn't catch up with Su Shi's speed.

When she arrived at the place where Aine had just stood, Su Shi was a little confused. She looked around in astonishment, unable to believe that what she had just seen was a dream.

"I just...saw her." Su Shi muttered to himself, his voice trembling, "She's right here..."

Xiangzi and Hemu, who followed, looked unhappy after hearing Su Shi's words.

Suppressing his inner sadness and panic, Xiangzi gently placed his hand on Sushi's shoulder: "Sushi, are you okay?"

"Xiao Xiang?" Su Shi turned around and smiled at Xiangzi, "I saw her, Aine-chan is right here."

Looking at Su Shi's "smile", Xiangzi took a step back. In her eyes, Su Shi was crying and looked sad.

Chapter 414: Crying? I was obviously laughing

Seeing Xiangzi taking small steps back, Su Shi's face was stunned. She reached out and grabbed Xiangzi's arm, her nails almost digging into his skin.

Those eyes were fixed on Xiangzi, and they asked, "Xiao Xiang, Aine-chan is standing right here."

As he spoke, Su Shi pointed behind him, trying to prove himself.

Xiangzi's gaze passed over Su Shi and looked at the empty back of her. She wanted to shake her head, but was afraid of hurting Su Shi.

At this point, Xiangzi's expression became complicated.

A warm hand rested on Su Shi's shoulder. Su Shi turned around and saw Mu's concerned face.

Mu used his other hand to pull Sushi's hand off Xiangzi and held it gently: "Sushi, go sit over there for a while."

Only then did Xiangzi notice that others had followed and were standing a few steps away, their faces full of worry.

Miao Meng even took out his cell phone, apparently ready to call an ambulance at any time.

Noticing the looks of others, Su Shi suddenly shook off Mu's hand and staggered back a few steps.

"You... do you all think I'm crazy? Right?" Su Shi suddenly laughed, with a hint of hysteria in his laughter.

Looking at Su Shi's appearance, Mu subconsciously took two steps back. Su Shi's appearance now made Mu feel terrified.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Su Shi continued, "But I really saw her! She's right here!"

"Su Shi..." Deng slowly raised his hand.

"What's wrong?" Su Shi turned his head stiffly and looked at everyone's expressions. Su Shi forced out a smile, the same smile he had just shown to Xiangzi.

"Su Shi...don't cry." Deng wanted to go up to Su Shi's umbrella to comfort her, but Su Shi took two steps back and avoided Deng's hands.

"Eh? Crying?" Su Shi tilted her head. She didn't understand, didn't understand what Deng meant, "Xiao Deng, why did you say I was crying? That's weird, I was clearly smiling at everyone..."

Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Sushi turned around and said, "Right, Aine-chan?"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and there was nothing behind Su Shi. She stared blankly at the back: "Eh? Aine-chan? Where have you been?"

"Su Shi..." Xiangzi grabbed Su Shi's wrist with such force that Su Shi frowned slightly.

"Xiao Xiang, let me go!" Su Shi struggled, but could not shake Xiangzi at all.

"Su Shi, Xiao Ai is dead."

Xiangzi's short words made Su Shi lose her spirit of resistance. She looked at Xiangzi blankly, unable to imagine that Xiangzi would say this.

"What?" Su Shi smiled softly, "Xiao Xiang, what are you talking about? Aiyin-chan... Isn't Aiyin-chan right here?"

"Take a good look, is Xiao Ai really there?"

"..."

Su Shi was silent. She didn't choose to look back. Didn't she know that there was only endless wind behind her? But she didn't want to believe it. Why did she have to go through all the sadness?

Family, Crychic, mygo, and now Aine-chan... I finally had a sun that could dispel all my darkness, but it eventually went out... Why?

"Stop fantasizing, Sushi." Mu Yu couldn't bear it. She didn't want to say it so directly, but at the moment, she had no better way to make Sushi wake up. "Aine-chan... has left."

"Xiao Mu...Ain..." Su Shi's words suddenly stopped. She stared blankly at the people in front of her. She felt a little awkward when they looked at her.

As if unable to withstand the blow of reality, Su Shi clenched his fists.

"I know... Aine-chan is dead." Su Shi's voice echoed in the empty cemetery, "I know... but, but I just... just..."

Her legs suddenly gave out, and she fell to her knees on the cold ground. The tears she had been suppressing burst out again, and she cried like a child, her chest heaving violently, almost unable to breathe.

“I miss her so much… I miss her so much…” Su Shi kept repeating these words as if they were the only important truth in the world.

Xiangzi knelt down beside her, gently hugged her trembling body, and tried to comfort Su Shi's heart.

"We all miss her." Xiangzi whispered in Sushi's ear, "All the time."

Hearing Su Shi's sobbing gradually weakening, Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you feeling better?"

Su Shi didn't say anything, she just nodded slightly.

"Well, soyorin, I'm very happy that you think so."

Su Shi raised her head blankly. Aine was half-squatting in front of her. Her long pink hair danced in the wind and gently fluttered on her face, which made her feel a little itchy. Su Shi remembered this feeling. Aine's hair often fell on her face before.

Aiyin gently raised her hand and scratched Su Shi's nose. She opened her mouth and seemed to say something.

The wind got stronger again. Su Shi slowly raised her hand. She wanted to touch Aiyin, but she was afraid that Aiyin in front of her would turn into foam.

Just as Su Shi raised her hand to the air, a cold wind blew by, and Aine's figure became transparent, and the itchy feeling on her face disappeared along with it.

Su Shi's hand froze in mid-air. She recalled the scene just now and seemed to read Aine's words - Goodbye.

"Su Shi?" Xiangzi looked at Su Shi and patted her shoulder gently.

"Xiao Xiang..." Su Shi slowly put down her hand. She turned her head and looked at Xiangzi. "Am I ridiculous?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Xiangzi was puzzled. In her eyes, she didn't see Su Shi doing anything ridiculous.

“Aine-chan has already left, but I’m… stuck here…”

Listening to Su Shi's increasingly quiet voice, Xiangzi shook his head: "No, Su Shi, this is not something ridiculous."

"I just said that we have also been missing Xiao Ai." Xiangzi comforted Su Shi in a soft voice, "This is just a normal reaction."

Chu Hua walked over to Xiangzi and Su Shi, pulled them up, and then sighed: "The ground is so cold, it's a pity you can kneel down."

Deng looked at the two people who stood up and said to Su Shi, "Who wouldn't like Aine-chan...the warm sun."

"The sun..." Su Shi nodded. What Deng said was absolutely right. If he could do it again, he would definitely cherish it doubly... Unfortunately, there was no if.

Li Xi said softly, "It feels like... the sound of love is like the most perfect note in a performance. It comes suddenly and leaves in a hurry, but it changes the whole song forever."

Hearing Li Xi's lame love words, Su Shi couldn't help laughing and said, "I feel like Li Xi is really not suitable for saying these love words."

Li Xi blushed slightly, and she turned her face away: "What do you care?"

The smile on Su Shi's lips did not fade, but with the tear marks on his face, he looked a little funny.

The feeling of alienation from everyone in my heart seems to have faded... Is it because of Aine-chan...

The so-called sense of distance is nothing more than an extra gap in interpersonal relationships, and that gap happens to be the position of close people.

But now, after feeling relieved, the relationship in my heart seems to be closer.

Chapter 415: Sing at RiNG

The night fell without taking away the last ray of sunlight.

A few people were walking on the sidewalk. Because of the cold weather, there weren't many people on the street.

Su Shi lowered his head, his blue eyes filled with depth and melancholy.

She was grateful to Xiangzi and the others for pulling her out of her dream and preventing her from sinking into the past.

But she also blamed Xiangzi and the others, blaming them for not letting her stay with Aine for a while longer, even though she had only seen her a few times.

Xiangzi walked to the front and she suddenly stopped. Lixi, who had been distracted behind her, didn't notice and bumped into her.

"It hurts..." Li Xi covered his nose and frowned as he asked, "Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Rikki, do you want to attend our Mujica concert later?" Xiangzi's voice gradually became quieter. "I wrote a song in memory of Xiao Ai, and I want you to listen to it."

"You wrote it?" Li Xi was stunned.

"Yes." Xiangzi nodded. "Dad, I want you to listen to it."

"I want to listen." Deng was the first to speak up, lowering her head. "I want to hear... Xiaoxiang's true feelings for Aiqian K Yi Yinqi Si Jiu (Nine) Bayin-chan."

"Did you write and compose this song by yourself?" Lixi bit her lower lip. She couldn't believe that Xiangzi had the ability to write a song.

"Yes." Xiangzi nodded, a wry smile on her lips. "This is what I wanted to say to Xiao Ai. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, and I collected it and made it into a song."

Li Xi fell silent for a long time, then nodded: "Well, I'll go too."

After the two of them expressed their opinions, Xiangzi looked up at Su Shi, who naturally noticed her gaze.

After a moment, Su Shi nodded: "When?"

Xiangzi was stunned and thought for a moment: "Probably...it will take another month."

"A month? Why does it take so long?" Lixi was surprised by Xiangzi's words. In her impression, it didn't take that long for everyone in Mujica to practice a song. If they were fast, they could even master a song in a few days.

Xiangzi smiled slightly: "Of course I have to prepare well. I can't lose face for Xiao Ai."

As he spoke, Xiangzi drew a semicircle on the ground with his toes. "After all... Xiao Ai loves to be in the spotlight so much, she definitely doesn't want to have any flaws, right?"

Although Xiangzi said this, in fact this was only half of the reason, and the other half was still because of Mu.

Of course, Mu knew that Xiangzi was trying to excuse herself. She lowered her head guiltily. If it weren't for her, the concert would have been held soon, right?

"Is that so?" Li Xi nodded. Of course she believed what he said. After all, Aine's pushy look had always been on her mind. "Where are you planning to prepare for the concert?"

"RiNG."

"Huh?" Deng was stunned. "RiNG? Why?"

Xiangzi's eyes softened, and she spoke softly, "That's where Xiaoai always plays."

After returning home, Xiangzi pushed open the door of the room. She seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She lay directly on the bed, and the soft bed wrapped her whole body.

Xiangzi stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing how she had gotten through the day.

Thinking of everything that happened in the cemetery today, Xiangzi couldn't help but mutter: "Su Shi is really something, he's such a grown-up, and he still needs comfort from others..."

As he spoke, Xiangzi turned over and asked, "Why do I always have to comfort others? Why doesn't anyone come to comfort me?"

Thinking of this, Xiangzi felt a little dazed. She seemed to see herself having a conflict with Mortis, and Aine comforting her gently.

Xiao Ai...I miss you so much.

A line of clear tears flowed from his eyes.

Xiangzi clutched the bed sheet tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force: "If possible... I really don't want to be so strong..."

“This is so tiring…”

Xiao Ai, I really want to hide under your protection forever...

But thinking of what he had said to Aine, Xiangzi lowered his head in shame - Xiaoai, I am weak and dead, you can try to rely on me.

I clearly made this promise to Xiao Ai at the beginning, but when I insisted on it, I found that I was unable to do it, especially after Xiao Ai left.
