"Ah."
……
The afternoon sun slanted in through the windows of the Astronomy Department. The department was very quiet, with only the slight hum of the air conditioner and the occasional rustling of pages.
Deng was sitting on a chair, Xiangzi was standing beside her, and in the middle of the table were several pages of paper filled with lyrics.
During this period, Deng was worried about mygo's new song. She felt that she seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and every time she wrote, she felt unsatisfactory.
As for Xiangzi, she came to the Astronomy Club not only to help Deng find inspiration for the lyrics, but also for another purpose - to help Aiyin consolidate her math grades.
The sunlight shone on Xiangzi's profile, giving her long eyelashes a golden edge, while Deng was unconsciously biting the end of the pen, her brows slightly furrowed, she was in deep thought.
Behind them, Aine was lying on the sofa. She was looking at the math textbook in front of her, biting her lower lip, twirling a ballpoint pen between her fingers, and occasionally circling and drawing on the textbook.
But now, her attention had slipped away from the textbook, her eyes unconsciously drifting to the other two people in the room. Aine placed her textbook on the sofa and stood up.
"Deng, doesn't this word here seem too deliberate?" Xiangzi said, pointing to a line of words on the paper.
Deng stared blankly at the question Xiangzi pointed out: "Xiaoxiang, can you?"
Xiangzi nodded gently: "I feel a little bit. What do you think... how about changing it to this word?"
"It does feel better." Deng nodded, his eyes lighting up.
"besides……"
Aine suddenly appeared behind the two of them, her chin resting on Xiangzi's shoulder and her arm around her waist. "What are you writing?"
Without even turning his head, Xiangzi gently poked Aine's forehead with the end of his pen and said, "Go study."
"I'm tired of studying..." Aiyin said coquettishly, her fingers playing with Xiangzi's hair restlessly. "By the way, what did tomorin write?"
"Eh? I... I'm writing a new song for mygo." Deng grabbed the paper on the table, but before she could hand it to Aine, Xiangzi snatched it away.
"Deng, Xiao Ai needs to study hard now. Let's show her these lyrics later." Xiangzi put the paper back on the table, turned his head to look at Ain, and pretended to be serious. "Xiao Ai, you've only been studying for fifteen minutes."
“Sixteen minutes,” Aine corrected, her eyes fixed on the lyrics on the table. Suddenly, she reached out a hand.
But unexpectedly, Xiangzi had been prepared. She protected the new song of the lamp and tapped Aiyin's head lightly with her fingers: "Xiao Ai, how are the questions I asked you to look at?"
“It should be about time.” Aine pouted.
"Should?" Xiangzi narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to look at Deng. "Deng, you think about it first. I'll go test Xiao Ai."
"Oh, okay." Deng nodded and refocused his attention on the lyrics in front of him.
"Okay, don't disturb Deng, I'm going to test you." Xiangzi pulled Aiyin to sit on the sofa and found a few questions for her from the exercise book.
After Aiyin finished, Xiangzi looked at her answers and twitched his lips: "Xiao Ai, you got three out of ten questions wrong."
“Huh? So many?” Aine looked at her own answer in disbelief and lowered her head weakly, “I better continue studying…”
Looking at Aiyin who had finally calmed down, Xiangzi gently left a kiss on her face: "Well, be good, go study."
Returning to the lamp, Xiangzi said, "Deng, where were we just now?"
Deng looked in Aine's direction, the corners of his mouth raised: "Xiao Xiang... I'm very happy now."
Xiangzi was stunned. Following the light, she fixed her eyes on Aine and nodded slightly, "Me too."
Chapter 420 The Rain is Still Falling
Dark clouds gathered in the sky and raindrops began to beat against the windows.
In an unknown coffee shop, everyone from mygo was sitting inside.
Hearing the sound of rain, Su Shi's fingers stiffened visibly. She was holding a cup of hot Earl Grey tea and was about to take a sip when the sudden sound of raindrops interrupted her movements like a discordant note.
Outside the window, dark clouds were swallowing up the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, wiping out the afternoon sunlight bit by bit.
"It's raining so heavily." Li Xi stood by the window, his voice lower than usual, and it seemed that his mood was also affected by the sudden rain.
Deng bit her lip nervously: "Obviously... I didn't say it was going to rain."
"Hmm...it's raining, so annoying." Lenai held her chin with both hands, her facial expression reflecting her unhappy mood.
"Eh? Why?" Aiyin, who was working on a homework assignment, stopped writing. She looked up and looked at everyone in confusion. "I think the rain is okay. The sound of rain is quite pleasant."
"Uh..." Su Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at the unaware Aine, and he didn't know what to say.
Shoko and Aine had a lot to do with their reaction to the rain—of course, for Lenna, it was only Aine who was responsible.
There was a strange tension in the cafe, like the silence when a string suddenly broke while tuning before a performance. Only Aine was still full of energy, humming Sumimi's song. It seemed that Aine didn't notice the sudden change in the atmosphere at all, or maybe she thought they simply didn't like rainy days.
Su Shi looked at the increasingly dense rain outside the window, then looked at the other three people who were obviously in a low mood. Her gaze finally fell on Aine - the Aine who once said "I want to quit mygo" because of ALS on the same gloomy rainy day.
However, Aine's eyes were already focused on the questions on the table, and she didn't notice Su Shi's gaze.
Looking at Aine's fair cheeks, Su Shi smiled and shook her head, what a fool.
The coffee shop was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of pens scratching across paper.
The rain came quickly and stopped quickly. It stopped in just ten minutes.
"It's still cloudy outside. Let's go home quickly, otherwise it will rain again soon." Su Shi looked outside through the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yeah.” Aine nodded and extended her hand to greet the others, “See you tomorrow then.”
"Bye, Aine-chan." Deng smiled.
……
At the door of Su Shi's house, Deng gasped: "Sorry to bother you, Su Shi."
"It's nothing, come in." Su Shi shook his head, opened the door, and stepped aside to make way.
The rain had just stopped, but unfortunately, after they walked for a distance, it started raining again. Since Su Shi's home was closer to them, they came to Su Shi's home to take shelter from the rain.
“Ugh, I’m soaked.” Aine looked at the clothes sticking to her body, “I’m so cold.”
"Indeed, the winter rain is really cold." Su Shi smoothed Aine's wet hair, "Aine-chan, go take a shower, don't catch a cold."
"it is good."
When Aine walked into the bathroom, Su Shi was sitting in the living room. She turned her head away and asked, "When Aine-chan finishes washing, you should go wash too. Don't catch a cold."
"No need." Li Xi shook his head. "Your house is very warm, the clothes will be dry in a while."
Deng agreed, "Yeah, that's too much trouble for Su Shi."
"Hmm...I want to live." Lenai leaned back on the sofa.
Li Xi broke Lenai's fantasy by saying, "Guitar? Xiangzi and the others are preparing for the concert now. It will take some time before Mu is free."
Hearing this, Lenai dropped her head.
Not long after, Aine put on the pajamas she had left at Sushi's house and walked out of the bathroom. When she returned to the living room, she found that the four of them were strangely quiet. "It's so quiet... By the way, since it's such good weather and everyone is here, how about playing a game together?"
"Game?" Li Xi was stunned. "Ain, isn't it another mobile game?"
“No.” Aine shook her head and thought for a moment, “How about beating the turtle?”
"Yeah." Su Shi nodded, her eyes occasionally looking at the heavy rain outside the window.
When the game started, the atmosphere in the living room was still weird. Li Xi drew the turtle three times in a row, but his reaction was always a beat slow.
Aine put down the cards in her hand and looked straight at Riki: "By the way, I always feel that the atmosphere is weird. Does everyone dislike rainy days?"
"Well...about the same." Su Shi lowered his head.
"It's because of you and Xiangzi." Li Xi put the cards in front of his table.
"Me?" Aine was stunned. She blinked, as if remembering something. "Could it be because of that time when I wanted to quit mygo on that rainy day?"
"Yes." Deng nodded and she said weakly.
Li Xi nodded and muttered, "You actually wanted to push us away and carry it all by yourself... Really? We are mygo, a whole team."
Deng lowered his head. “You and Xiaoxiang are both like that… Every time it rains, we’re reminded of that… feeling of being left out.”
Hearing what Deng said, Aine gently hugged Deng: "Well, Tomorin, I'm sorry, it was my fault back then. This kind of thing won't happen again in the future, okay?"
"Yeah." Deng replied softly, she leaned on Aine's shoulder, "Now... Aine-chan won't leave."
"Rikki too..." Aine looked at Rikki.
Riki came up behind Aine, bent down and placed his chin on Aine's other shoulder: "It's an appointment, Aine."
"Yeah, of course." Aine left a light kiss on Riki's face.
Li Xi retracted her face, her face flushed, and nodded gently: "I believe you."
"Aine...when can we play guitar together?" Lenai reached out and grabbed Aine's clothes.
“I’m afraid it will take a while.” Aine raised her other hand. “Although it doesn’t affect my normal life much right now, playing the guitar is too physically demanding. I can’t do it right now.”
"Well... okay then." Lenai nodded and sat quietly on the sofa.
Aiyin looked at Su Shi who was in a trance and said softly: "Soyorin, what are you thinking about?"
"It's still raining." Su Shi's tone was a little sad. "I don't know when it will stop."
“Oh, it’s okay. This kind of life isn’t bad, actually.” Aine smiled slightly. “After all, everyone is here, right?”
Su Shi came back to her senses and looked up at Ai Yin. After a long moment, her worried expression gradually disappeared and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Well, not bad..."
Yes, Aine-chan is right… Not only her, but also Deng, Riki, Rana… and everyone in Mujica are still here.
“Well, since there’s nothing else to do, let’s continue drawing the turtle, right?” Aine shook the cards in her hand. “My luck has always been good.”
"Yeah." Deng nodded.
"Okay." Li Xi picked up his cards.
"Then let's continue." Su Shi glanced at the rain outside the window again. It seemed that it would not stop for a while.
Chapter 421 Rainy Day, What a Nice Day
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Li Xi's forehead, his fingers tapped the table nervously, his eyes fixed on Su Shi's hand hanging in the air.
The turtle drawing game reached its final stage. Su Shi only had one card left in her hand, and there were two cards spread out in front of her - one ordinary card and one turtle card.
Su Shi looked at the only card left in her hand, then looked at Li Xi, who had a serious face. She was neither anxious nor impatient, her fingertips moving back and forth over the two cards, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Li Xi, there's no need to be so nervous."
"Stop talking nonsense. Which one do you want to draw?" Li Xi looked at the cards in her hand nervously. She had lost thirteen times since she started playing and had not won once so far. Her face was covered with punishment notes, like a mummy.
As for Aine and Deng, they had already finished drawing their cards and were enjoying the endgame.
"Pfft, Rikki is sweating all over." Aine lay on the sofa, holding her chin with both hands, looking at Rikki with a smile.
"Aine, shh." Riki waved his hand, signaling Aine not to speak, "I'm thinking."
Deng nervously twisted the corners of his clothes, his eyes wide open, as if this game concerned world peace.
Lenai sat next to Riki and said with emotion, "Riki... so serious."
"Shh, Wildcat, don't talk. I must win today."
As he spoke, Li Xi swallowed his saliva, and Su Shi's hand was resting on the two of spades.
If Su Shi draws the winning number, she will have lost fourteen games in a row today.
Su Shi didn't think much about it. She put her hand on the two of spades and gently squeezed it, but she didn't pull it out in a hurry. Her eyes swept over the others.
Aiyin's eyes widened, and her legs, which had been shaking, gradually calmed down. She lowered her hands that were supporting her cheeks, and nestled in the pillow, looking at Su Shi.
What a cute big pink-haired puppy... I really want to hold it in my arms and rub its head.
"Hmm..." Deng covered her mouth. Her slight exclamation and the worried expression on her face made Su Shi feel at ease.
Judging from Xiao Deng's expression, if he took this card, Li Xi would lose, right? After all... our band's lead singer isn't good at hiding his delicate emotions.
His eyes passed over the lamp and landed on Lenai.
The look in little Lenai's eyes...it looks like she already understands the rules of the game. She's obviously a smart and cute child, but in some aspects, she's surprisingly dumb.
Thinking of this, Su Shi's eyes finally fell on Li Xi. His fierce look made Su Shi's mouth corners couldn't help but rise.
Really, it’s just an ordinary turtle-drawing game, which should be meaningless, but why does it make people feel so reassured?
"Hurry up, Sushi!" Li Xi couldn't help but urge, "Stop dawdling!"
Her hands couldn't stop shaking. Whether she could win this time depended on Su Shi's move.
Su Shi blinked, and his fingers suddenly turned when they were about to touch the cards, gently pinching the one on the right.
Sigh... let Lixi win.
