"It's definitely much better now. I never thought she would even think of using Lenai and me to revive Crychic. What a bad kid."

"Aine-chan, you always give people a sense of warmth." As he said this, the corners of Mu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Aine-chan, it seems like she has some kind of magic.

Aine smiled sheepishly, “No.”

"Aine-chan, shall we start practicing?"

"Yeah, let's get started, Mumu."

The setting sun took away its last ray of sunshine, and the sycamore trees by the river also lost their golden luster.

"Phew, I'm so tired." Aiyin put the guitar aside and slumped down next to Mu.

"Aine-chan, you played it very well."

Aine nodded: "Yeah, basically there's no problem."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Eh? Aren't you eating here?"

"It's too much trouble for you."

Hearing Mu's answer, Aine chuckled: "It's okay, Mumu, my mother will be very happy if she sees you staying. Besides, my mother cooks delicious food."

"Hmm..." Mu's heart was beating a little violently. This was her first time eating alone in someone else's house.

"By the way, Mumu, I heard from Sakki that you are going to form a band with her, AveMujica, right?"

"Xiangzi...seems to be breaking down."

"Eh? Sakki? She looks normal to me, could Mumu be seeing things?"

Mu shook his head and took a sip of mango juice: "She is very eager for money."

"Money...?" Aiyin wasn't too surprised. After all, she had talked to Xiangzi before, and she was familiar with her family situation. "Not too surprised."

As soon as the words fell, Aiyin's mother's voice came from the living room: "Aiyin, do you have time to come down and help me?"

"Oh, I'm coming." Aiyin responded, then turned to Mu and said, "Mumu, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

After Aine left, Mu sat quietly on the sofa alone, carefully looking at Aine's small room.

Her eyes moved little by little, and finally, in an inconspicuous corner, she found a few small white boxes.

What is this? Why does it look so much like a medicine box? Is Aine-chan sick?

With these doubts, Mu walked to this small corner. She reached out and picked up a small white box. The black font on it looked a little dazzling on the white box.

Riluzole tablets.

The other boxes also had black fonts printed on them.

Edaravone injection.

What kind of medicine is this? Is Aine-chan suffering from some strange disease?

Without much thought, Mu turned the box over. On the back, the indications and dosage were printed.

Of course, Mu didn't bother to look at the dosage. She just stared at the indication: used to treat ALS.

Chapter 52 Aine-chan won't lie to me

ALS?

Mu looked at the efficacy listed on the medicine box in her hand. She never thought that she would have to deal with this disease in her life.

Why is there such medicine in Aine-chan's room? Could it be... that she has ALS?

No, it won’t happen… If someone has ALS, shouldn’t they become paralyzed immediately? But Aine-chan looks like she’s fine, and… Aine-chan said she’ll always be with me.

Always be with me...Aine-chan will never lie to me!

Although Mu tried hard to convince himself, the image of Aine saying goodbye to him with a smile still appeared in his mind.

No! I won't let this happen!

Xiangzi...is broken, and Sushi...has also changed a little...The only person who is willing to truly listen to my heart is Aine-chan...

Mu felt like she had fallen into an endless deep ocean. Breathing, which was normal at ordinary times, seemed like a luxury at this moment. Fear and despair grabbed her ankles and pulled her into the deepest darkness.

Click.

The crisp sound of the door opening interrupted Mu's thoughts. She raised her head and met Aiyin's eyes as she pushed the door open.

"Mumu, what's wrong with you?" Aiyin looked at Mu with some confusion, but as her eyes moved and she saw the medicine box in Mu's hand, she understood everything.

Oh no, I forgot to put my medicine back after taking it this morning! Mumu must have guessed that I have ALS, it looks like it’s a sure thing...

Mu put the medicine box on the table. This simple action seemed to have exhausted all her strength: "Aine-chan...you, have ALS?"

Aine answered without hesitation: "No."

"But...why is there..."

“Because… I’ve been interested in medicine lately, so I bought some to try.” Aine did a few squats as if to prove her words were correct. “Look, I’m fine.”

"Really?" Mu looked at Aine trying her best to prove herself, and the despair in his heart was relieved a little, and his breathing became smoother.

However, once doubts arise, it is not easy to completely eliminate them.

“Really?” Aine tried her best to use her wisdom to lower Mu’s guard.

"Well, I... believe in Aine-chan... because Aine-chan said she would always be with me." Mu lowered his head. Aine-chan will always be with me, right? Yes, right? Yes!

Aiyin smiled slightly and gently took Mu's hand: "Let's go, Mumu, let's go eat."

Mu followed behind Aine, looking at her back, his violent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Well, Aiyinqunl》iuyiqi (1)鸸6把》Sibajiang won’t lie to me...no.

The dining table in the living room was already filled with food. Aine's mother couldn't help but smile when she saw the two little girls coming downstairs hand in hand. "The food is ready, come and eat."

"I'm here." Aine pulled out a chair, "Mumu, sit down."

"Oh, thank you Aine-chan..." Mu sat in his seat somewhat stiffly, nodding his head and not daring to look at Aine's parents.

After Mu took her seat, Aine pulled out a chair and sat next to her: "Mumu, don't be so reserved. My parents are very kind people."

Mu nodded, but still didn't dare to raise his eyes.

Seeing this, Aiyin's mother chuckled: "Aiyin, you weren't the one bullying Xiaomu in the room, were you?"

"Ah? Really, Mom, I'm such a nice person, how could I possibly bully Mumu?"

Mu raised his eyes slightly and spoke softly: "Auntie...Aine-chan is very gentle."

Aiyin's mother spread her hands and said, "There's really nothing we can do. Since Xiaomu has already made excuses for you, I'll just have to let Aiyin go."

"Really."

Hearing this, Aiyin pouted and looked at her mother. She knew exactly what her mother was thinking.

Mu stared blankly at the bickering mother and daughter. She had never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, but now she actually felt envious.

After bickering for a while, Aine turned her head away: "I'm ignoring you. Come, Mumu, let's eat."

After saying that, Ain handed the chopsticks to Mu. Seeing Mu taking the chopsticks, Ain's parents also laughed.

"I'm gonna start now."

"Mumu, here you can eat whatever you want, there aren't so many rules."

Mu stared at Aine blankly for a moment, then she nodded with a slight smile on her lips.

"Little Mu looks so beautiful when he smiles." Aiyin's mother held her chin with one hand and looked at Mu with a smile in her eyes.

"Of course Mumu is pretty. By the way, Mom, I'm pretty too, right?"

"Yeah, our Aine is pretty too."

"Of course." Aiyin nodded, then used the serving chopsticks to pick up the egg and cucumber from the plate and placed it in Mu's bowl. "Mumu, try it. I just made this myself."

"Aine-chan made this herself?" Mu's eyes widened a little. She didn't expect that Aine could actually cook. Moreover, looking at the appearance of the dish, Mu even felt that it should taste very good.

At this moment, the uncomfortable feeling in Mu's heart faded a little.

"Of course, Mumu likes cucumbers, so I made a special dish for him, hehe."

This... Aine-chan made this especially for me... I'm so happy.

Mu picked up the egg cucumber that Aiyin had placed in her bowl, put them into her mouth and chewed them gently. In an instant, her topaz-like eyes became brighter.

The food cooked by Aine-chan is so delicious.

Looking at Mu's suddenly bright eyes, Aiyin knew that her cooking skills were already qualified in Mu's heart, but she still couldn't help but say: "What's wrong, Mumu, I'm a good cook, right?"

"Yeah, it's delicious."

After that, Mu mostly just picked at the egg and cucumber dish. It was obvious that Mu really liked eating cucumbers, or the cucumbers that Aiyin cooked.

After dinner, the two returned to Aine's cabin. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Mu tugged at Aine's clothes and said, "Aine-chan, I should go home now."

"Eh? Aren't you going to continue playing for a while? I even specially prepared a game that I like to play."

Aiyin's earnest gaze made Mu feel a little embarrassed: "I... told the housekeeper to be back at nine o'clock."

"Hey..." Aiyin's voice sounded a little lost. She grabbed Mu's sleeve with her backhand, "Mumu, how about you stay at my house for one night?"

Aine's sudden words froze Mu's expression. She looked at Aine and spoke slowly after a long while: "Would you like to stay at Aine-chan's house for one night?"

"Yeah, your parents aren't home anyway, so how about that?"

"I...I've never stayed out alone."

"Um... Mumu, I don't mean to force you. If you want to go back..."

Mu gently grasped Aine's warm hand: "I want to..."

“Really?” Aine’s eyes lit up.

Mu nodded: "I... need to talk to the butler."

"Uh-huh."

Chapter 53 The String About to Break

After going outside, Mu called the housekeeper.

beep...

Soon, a man's voice rang out from the other end of the line: "Miss, I'll be at your destination soon. Please wait for three more minutes."

"No, I'm...staying at a friend's house."

"Eh?" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Oh, okay. Then what time should I pick you up tomorrow morning?"

"You don't have to come tomorrow. I'll take the tram."

"How can that be? You..."

"You don't have to come."

"Yes, Miss." Hearing Mu's increasingly tough voice, even the housekeeper who had worked in the Ruoye family for more than ten years was startled. He felt a little strange in his heart. Was the Miss provoked by something?

"By the way, can you...help me investigate something?"

"Please speak, Miss."

Mu was silent for a moment. "Go and find out if any of the hospitals in Tokyo have ever received ALS patients."

"Miss, it may take some time to investigate the hospital's internal information. How long can you wait?"

"How long do you need it?"

"It will take at least a month."

"can."

Mu hung up the phone and leaned weakly against the wall.

I'm sorry... Aine-chan, your lie was so clumsy... Although I wanted to believe you as much as possible... But... my reason tells me that you are deceiving me... Right!

When you answered that you didn't have ALS, I really believed it... But, your mistake was that you shouldn't have interrupted me and said that you were interested in medicine, and you did squats specifically to prove that you were not sick...

Aine-chan, never does these unnecessary things...
