Are these two girls still awake? What time is it now? Oh, 2:30. Aren't they planning to go to school tomorrow?

With doubts in her heart, Aine's mother walked to the door of Aine's room and listened attentively.

The soft hum and rejection coming from the room made Aine’s mother startled, and then she had the answer in her mind.

I see, Aine-chan has grown up. It looks like they won’t be going to school tomorrow. Fine then, just rest at home for a day.

However, these two children are really bold. Aren’t they afraid that we will find out?

My thoughts drift back to the present.

"The main thing is that it's almost time for class, but Xiaoxiang doesn't seem to be in a hurry, so I have a feeling that you guys probably won't go." Aiyin's mother made up an excuse to get away with it.

"Is that so?" Xiangzi nodded and thought to himself that his aunt was very observant.

"Xiao Xiang, is Aine-chan still awake?"

"Xiao Ai is still lying down. I'll take my portion and hers back to the room to eat."

"Is that so? Auntie will put the plate on it for you and you can just take it up. Auntie and uncle won't disturb you."

Aiyin's father looked at the two busy people, and although he was confused, he did not ask.

Soon, Xiangzi returned to the room with the plate of food that Aine's mother had prepared for him.

"Xiao Ai, I'm back."

"Well, welcome back, Sakki." Aine lay on her side on the bed, her hands tapping on her phone non-stop.

"Hmm? Who are you chatting with again?" Xiangzi put breakfast on the table, walked to the end of the bed and picked up the pajamas that Aiyin had accidentally dropped last night. "Xiao Ai, put on your clothes and eat."

"I was chatting with Mumu, and she said she wanted to come see me after class this afternoon."

Aiyin took the pajamas handed to her by Xiangzi with one hand, while continuing to reply to Mu with the other hand.

"Mu."

Hearing Xiangzi's calm voice, Aiyin looked up in disbelief. She looked at Xiangzi with a smirk on her face: "Why are you so calm now? Aren't you jealous?"

If it were usual, Xiangzi would have hit back hard at Aine's teasing, but at this moment, she didn't feel jealous at all. After what happened yesterday, the love in Xiangzi's heart was swelling wildly.

"After what happened yesterday, I don't feel too strongly about these things now, because Xiao Ai has already declared herself mine."

Xiangzi's high-profile declaration made Aiyi blush again, and she muttered softly: "Who said it belongs to you..."

"Hmm? What did Xiao Ai say?"

"No...nothing. Sakki, turn your face away. How can I wear pajamas if you are like this?"

"Eh? Xiao Ai, are you still shy even after all this?"

"What else?" Ai Yi tightened the quilt covering her body, her voice rising by two points, "Turn around quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go eat first."

"Go."

Aine stared at Xiangzi, confirming that she really went to the table to eat before she started to put on her pajamas.

After getting dressed, Aine limped towards the table. Xiangzi wanted to come over to support her, but Aine stopped her: "Sakki, I need to adapt quickly, so that Mumu won't notice anything when he comes this afternoon."

"Oh, I see." Xiangzi did not stop her and pulled the high stool he was sitting on to Aine's side, then moved a small stool over and sat down himself.

Aine took a bite of the fried egg and said while chewing, "By the way, Sakki, can I discuss something with you?"

Xiangzi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Go on, Xiaoai."

"Do you have any tickets to the Budokan for your performance?"

"Yes, I prepared it for you a long time ago." As he said that, Xiangzi took out the ticket he had kept for Aiyin from his pocket.

"Thank you, Sakki..." Aine took the tickets from Xiangzi thoughtfully, "But... for the next Budokan show, can I ask Tomorin and the others to go?"

In an instant, Aine's room became dead silent.

"Oh... sorry, sakki, I shouldn't have said that. You forgot about it. Let's eat."

"Why does Xiao Ai want to ask Deng and the others to go?"

"Well, because I'm the only one in the audience watching you, and there's no one to talk to when I'm happy."

"Is that so..." Xiangzi lowered his head in thought. Anyway, I didn't plan to take off the mask in the martial arts hall, so it shouldn't be a problem to just ask them to watch this show.

After making up his mind, Xiangzi nodded and said, "Then I'll get you four more tickets later (Part 2) for the "Long Er Yi Can Lin II" series.

"Eh? Really, sakki?"

"Now that you say that..." Xiangzi turned his face away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chapter 83 Xiangzi's Regret

Mutsu got out of the station with his guitar on his back and walked towards Aine's house.

On the lonely and deserted street, the sun lengthened her shadow, creating a companion for her.

One step, two steps... walking to the familiar door, Mu reached out and knocked on the door.

knock knock knock.

"I'm here." Aiyin pushed open the door, a look of joy on her face, "Come, Mumu, I'll help you get the guitar down."

Mu just opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Aine took the guitar from his back first.

"Mumu, you must be tired carrying such a heavy guitar all the way. Let's go to my room first."

"Ah."

Deng, Deng, Deng...

Aine walked very slowly, and Mu followed quietly behind Aine, following her steps until they arrived in front of her room.

Finally, the two arrived at the door of the room. Aine pushed the door open, and the scene inside made Mu stand there in a daze.

Eh? Why is Shoko at Aine's house?

"Mu, are you wondering why I'm at Xiao Ai's house?" Xiangzi's attention shifted from the keyboard in front of her. She turned to look at Mu and suddenly interrupted her thoughts, "Um..."

Seeing that Xiangzi was about to explain to Mu, Aiyin quickly pulled Mu into the room, closed the door, and tried her best to isolate the sounds inside the room. After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"My bastard dad doesn't understand my efforts at all. He has let me down terribly! I won't go back to that place again."

Having said that, Xiangzi clenched his fists, his face full of determination.

"Then... Budokan, is everything okay?"

"What's the problem?" Xiangzi's eyes became sharp and his voice gradually became colder. "Why do you think I've worked so hard until now?"

Hearing this, Mu lowered his head and dared not look at Xiangzi anymore.

"Sakki..." Aine called softly, "Your voice is so scary. It's not Mumu's fault. Don't be mean to Mumu."

Eh? Scary?

Xiangzi came back to her senses and looked at Aiyin with some confusion. When she focused her eyes on Mu, her pupils shrank. She quickly stood up and walked in front of Mu: "Mu, are you okay? I'm sorry... I was a little emotional."

Mu shook his head slightly, and the whole person made a sound mechanically like a puppet: "It's okay..."

A glass of mango juice suddenly appeared in Mu's field of vision. Following the hand holding the mango juice, Mu saw Aine smiling at him.

"Here, Mumu, drink some juice and sit down and relax."

Aiyin put the mango juice in Mu's hand, then led her to sit on the sofa next to her. Watching Mu drink the mango juice, Aiyin felt relieved.

Aiyin walked up behind Mu, leaned against the sofa, and reached out to smooth down Mu's long, light green hair. "Mumu, after you finish this glass of mango juice, come with me downstairs to check out the cucumbers we planted together, right?"

Hearing Aine mention the cucumbers she and she had grown together, Mu's eyes regained some of their spirit and he nodded in response, "Yeah."

Mu's agreement made Aiyin breathe a sigh of relief. Then, Aiyin raised her head, met Xiangzi's eyes, then looked at her keyboard and gave her a wink.

Xiangzi understood and said nothing more. He just looked at his keyboard quietly, wondering what was going on in his mind.

After finishing a glass of mango juice, Aiyin took Mu's hand and walked out of her cabin.

When they got outside, Aiyin excitedly pulled Mu over to the flowerpot and pointed at the tiny drop of green inside, saying, "Mumu, the cucumbers we planted are growing! The sprouts have finally broken through the soil."

Mu looked at the cucumber sprouts that had just emerged from the ground, and his originally depressed mood gradually improved: "Well, our little cucumbers...we..."

"Yeah, us."

"Mumu, do you still need to water?"

"Yes." Mu noticed the kettle beside him, "Aine-chan, do you always leave the kettle here?"

“Yeah.” Aine bent down and picked up the kettle. “I thought that when Mumu and I look after the cucumber together, we won’t have to run back and forth between the house and outside.”

Mu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Is that so."

Aine-chan has also been thinking about me and wants to look after our cucumber with me. I’m so happy.

On the second floor, Xiangzi stood quietly by the wall, looking down through the clean glass at the two people outside the house who were watering cucumbers together.

Why? Why did I treat Mu like that... It was the same before. Xiao Ai was right. It wasn't Mu's fault... Why did I lose my temper with Mu? I clearly didn't want to be like this... Why did I become so angry? Si Wujiu was so angry.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi lowered her eyes, not daring to continue looking at Mu who was smiling outside the house. That smile was like a knife, piercing her heart fiercely, stripping off her proud coat, and wantonly attacking her for what she had just done.

Xiangzi's thoughts gradually drifted back to his childhood, when he had known Mu in kindergarten, when they had played and laughed together... He had told her everything he knew, shared everything with her, and now...

Snapped!

The sudden opening of the door brought Xiangzi back to her senses. She was startled and turned her head to look at the person who opened the door. Similarly, Aine was also looking at her.

"Sakki, what are you doing? Have you finished the song?"

"Not... not yet." Xiangzi sat back at the keyboard in disappointment. Just as he picked up his headphones, Aine walked over to him.

"Are you worried? Is it because of what happened just now?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Xiao Ai." Xiangzi nodded, his fingers lightly sweeping across the keyboard. "By the way, Xiao Ai came back so suddenly?"

"Come get the guitar." Aiyin pointed to her and Mu's guitar in the corner. "I asked Mumu to wait downstairs, and I came up."

"Didn't Mu come with you?"

"No, I asked her to water the cucumbers downstairs while I came up to get my guitar." Aiyin looked at Mumu's time and was a little absent-minded for a moment. "Well, Sakki, I'll talk to you tonight after Mumu leaves."

"Yeah." Xiangzi nodded. "By the way, you were in the same state this morning. Are you okay now?"

"Although my waist still hurts a little, it's nothing serious."

When the last drop of water in the kettle fell on the tender cucumber sprouts, Aiyin also came out with their guitars.

Seeing this, Mu quickly put down the kettle in his hand and went to help Aine take the guitar: "Aine-chan, why don't you let me help you?"

"Really, Mumu, didn't I just tell you that you water our cucumbers and I'll just go get the guitar."

“But… Aine-chan, it must be very hard.”

Aiyin chuckled and waved her hands quickly: "It's nothing, I just picked up the guitar. I'm not that weak."

"Aine-chan, Mumu, here are some wooden chairs for you."

A sudden voice interrupted their conversation, and Aine's mother came out, holding a wooden chair in each hand.

"Ah, thank you, Mom."

"Thank you, aunt..."

"You're welcome, Xiao Mu, go ahead and have fun. Auntie won't disturb you anymore."

The sun shines through the blue sky and falls on the two of them. The breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness and the fragrance of flowers in the distance.

The guitars rested on their knees, the strings danced under their fingertips, and the sounds of the two guitars intertwined, playing out the tacit understanding between the two.

The corners of Mu's mouth gradually rose with the sound of the guitar.

Chapter 84 Invitation

After dinner, Mu said goodbye to Ain and the others and went home alone.

In Aine's room, Aine was sitting on the sofa, and Shoko was sitting next to her, looking annoyed.

"Sakki, why did your attitude change so much when you faced Mumu today?" Aine looked puzzled.

It wasn't a long sentence, but it left Xiangzi speechless. Even she herself was wondering, yes, why did his attitude change so much?

Xiangzi didn't answer. Aine took a grape from the table and handed it to her, but Xiangzi shook his head and refused.

"Is it because you are under too much pressure?" Aiyin put the grapes into her mouth, and the sweet taste made her a little intoxicated.
