Su Shi's voice was calm. She continued to take a sip of black tea and placed it on the table. The bottom of the teacup hit the tray, making a crisp sound.

Immediately, Su Shi raised her eyes and looked at Aine quietly.

Aiyin felt a little flustered when Suyo looked at her. She turned her face away: "Um... Soyorin, I accepted her confession..."

"I know." Su Shi nodded, without any special reaction to Aine's words.

Aine asked doubtfully, "Isn't Soyorin jealous?"

"you guess."

Looking at Su Shi's expression, Ai Yin lowered her head in disappointment. Well, she was indeed a little angry.

Su Shi sighed and suppressed her emotions: "Aine-chan, yesterday... did you follow Metis to her house by yourself?"

“Uh…” Aine lowered her head, “Yes.”

"Su Shi..." Xiangzi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Are you still angry about what happened before?"

Chapter 129 Xiangzi and Sushi

"What happened before? Are you talking about...Asukayama?" Su Shi's voice gradually became low.

Asuka Mountain is the pain that Su Shi doesn't want to mention. She gave up her dignity just to win back Xiangzi and Crychic, but in the end she got nothing but pain.

Thinking of this, Su Shi glanced at Aine without leaving a trace. If it weren't for Aine-chan... I don't know what my life would be like now...

Xiangzi lowered his head: "Yes, I was wrong at the beginning... I'm sorry."

Su Shi, who had already started to think about how to refute, was stunned when she heard Xiangzi's words. She looked up in disbelief.

No, what did this have to do with me? Is she still Xiaoxiang? How could Xiaoxiang's self-esteem allow her to say such things?

Could it be... that Aine-chan asked her to tell me? But... if I ask, will it trigger her rebellious psychology?

"Uh, um, really... I don't care." Su Shi played with his fingers, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Su Shi... you still haven't forgiven me, right?" Xiangzi didn't dare meet Su Shi's gaze. "I know you must be feeling very bad after saying such harsh words... When I said you were obsessed with yourself, I was actually saying that to myself."

Su Shi didn't respond.

“Indeed.” Aine nodded, breaking open another piece of fruit sandwich on the plate and passing it to the two of them. “Sakki said such harsh words to Soyorin, you need to reflect on it. Soyorin is so gentle, you must not bully her anymore.”

"I've known Xiao Ai for so long, and I've learned a lot from her."

Xiangzi raised his head as if he had made up his mind and met Su Shi's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Xiangzi spoke: "Su Shi, can we... still be reconciled? I apologize for what I did before... I really didn't consider your feelings before... If I had explained the whole story to you when I left Crychic... you wouldn't be so sad."

"Xiao Xiang, I have walked out of the shadow of Crychic." Su Shi's voice was flat.

Yes, I have moved on... I have placed my emotions on other people... other bands.

Hearing this, Xiangzi clutched the hem of her skirt, her voice trembling: "Then... can we restore our previous relationship?"

Su Shi was silent for a moment and did not choose to answer this question: "Xiao Xiang, when did you and Aine-chan meet?"

"It was when I first came to Hanegaoka." Aine scratched her head, "What's wrong, Soyorin?"

"Oh, so Aine-chan has known Xiaoxiang for a long time." Su Shi emphasized this sentence more than any other time.

When Aine heard this, her body trembled involuntarily.

It's over, Soyorin won't start to hold a grudge again... Let him hold a grudge, the most urgent thing is to fix the relationship between Sakki and Soyorin, and then resolve the Mumu issue.

Aine gently took Suyo's hand and rubbed the back of her hand with her fingers: "Soyorin, Sakki's attitude is so sincere, why don't you forgive her."

Su Shi didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them quietly.

Seeing this, Aine gently drew a smile on Soyo's face with her hands. "Well, Soyorin, give me an answer."

Su Shi did not resist, but just let Aine do whatever she wanted. She turned her eyes to Xiangzi.

Her intuition told her that Xiangzi seemed serious this time, but she was resisting in her heart.

"Sushi...can you forgive me?"

Su Shi lovingly took Aine's hand away, then questioned Xiangzi: "Why did you leave Crychic?"

"Because... because of my father..." Xiangzi lowered his head. "Back then, my father left the Toyokawa family because he owed 168 billion, and I followed him... My grandfather asked me if I could afford to take on the responsibility of someone else's life... But I didn't think much about it at the time, until later..."

After Xiangzi finished explaining the reason why he quit the group, Su Shi fell silent.

If this is the case, then Xiaoxiang's retreat from Yi (VII) Liu Yishan's second term is understandable.

But at the same time, Su Shi felt a little unhappy.

Su Shi crossed his arms and asked, "Were we friends in the beginning?"

Xiangzi turned his head away: "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you? You could have told me and everyone would have helped you. But you did that, and it would have been meaningless except for making us sad and leaving you to bear the whole burden."

Xiangzi lowered her head. What Su Shi said was right, and she really had no way to refute it: "It's just because I didn't think so at the beginning... At the beginning, I only wanted to rely on myself. I was unwilling to put down my self-esteem and beg you, and I didn't think that my withdrawal from the group would hurt you, so..."

"You... your mind is always thinking about yourself." Su Shi's voice was a little cold.

Aiyin gently tugged at the corner of Sushi's clothes: "Soyorin..."

"Ain-chan, this is a matter between Xiaoxiang and me, just watch." Su Shi handed her black tea to Ain, motioning her to drink the tea and watch without saying anything.

Aine took the black tea handed to her by Su Shi, her eyes switching between the two of them. Finally, she took a sip of the black tea and gave up the intention to continue speaking.

"Indeed... I, indeed, only think about myself..." Xiangzi's voice gradually became louder, "But I will keep changing myself, changing myself for the better... Su Shi, can you... trust me again?"

Seeing Xiangzi trembling slightly, Su Shi's heart softened. She finally said, "How do you want me to believe you?"

"Can we...restore our previous relationship? After dating Xiao Ai, I realized...it's impossible to survive in this world alone."

"Restoring our previous relationship... probably won't be possible." Su Shi glanced at Aine, who was eating a sandwich, drinking tea, and watching the show. "I've already put almost all my feelings on Aine-chan."

"Ahem..." Aiyin, who was eating melons on the side, coughed lightly. Although she knew that Su Shi had feelings for her, she didn't expect it to be so heavy. Almost all of her feelings? No...does she have to be so cruel?

Aiyin couldn't help but feel panicked. Su Shi's feelings for her had exceeded the maximum range that she could bear. She didn't know what she would become if her ALS worsened and she and Su Shi confessed that they wanted to break up.

Oh my god, what if Soyorin turns into a yandere? No way, no way, I, Soyorin, am a beautiful and kind person, how could I turn into such a horrible thing?

"Aine-chan, are you choking?" Su Shi took out a piece of toilet paper from the table and wiped the sandwich from the corner of Aine's mouth, while picking up the black tea that Aine had just placed on the table.

Aine took the tea and took a sip before she finally recovered.

Chapter 130: Plans after

"Well... I guessed it. After all, Su Shi has been redeemed by Xiao Ai, and I have been redeemed too." Xiangzi's expression was still a little timid. "Then... can we start as ordinary friends?"

If I say this... I think Su Shi will agree...

"Okay then." Su Shi glanced at Aine who had been watching her and sighed inwardly.

If I hesitate any longer, Aine-chan will probably start to have all sorts of weird thoughts again... Although I still have some resentment in my heart, Xiaoxiang has already told me the reason why he left the group... After we spend some time together, everything should be fine.

"In short... I just feel that Su Shi is more mature than before." Xiangzi smiled, and she felt relieved. Su Shi is more decisive and soft-hearted than I thought. Is he soft-hearted just for Xiao Ai's sake?

Since I have made up my mind to make progress, I will slowly change my image in Su Shi's mind and will not cause any more trouble to Xiao Ai.

"Mature?" Su Shi looked at Aine, who was holding a cup of black tea. She didn't feel that she had become as mature as Xiangzi said. "Maybe."

But, only Su Shi himself knows whether he is mature or not.

Su Shi turned her head away, her eyes a little gloomy. She put her hands quietly on the table, and silence echoed between the three of them.

"I think it's because I'm no longer obsessed with the past. After all... one should always look forward, right?"

Although she was asking this question to Xiangzi, Su Shi kept her eyes on Aine when she said it.

What he had said to Su Shi at Asuka Mountain came back to him now. Xiangzi knew that although Su Shi had verbally agreed to be ordinary friends with him again, he still had a grudge in his heart.

Come to think of it, it was she who invited her to form Crychic, and spoke so brazenly about a community of shared destiny, but ended up destroying Crychic with her own hands, and then destroyed Su Shi's hopes on her own.

A wry smile appeared on Xiangzi's lips. She nodded and said, "Yes, Su Shi is right. We should always look forward."

"Well, soyorin, sakki, now that you've reconciled, let's discuss Mumu's affairs."

Noticing that the smell of gunpowder in the air, which had been somewhat dissipating, was becoming stronger again, Aine quickly spoke up to interrupt the delicate atmosphere between the two.

"That's right, let's talk about Xiao Mu first." Su Shi nodded, agreeing with Aine's words. Then she turned to look at Xiangzi, "Xiao Xiang, this matter between us is over."

Xiangzi nodded without saying anything more.

Seeing the atmosphere stabilize, Aiyin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she turned her head to look at Su Shi, her bright eyes full of curiosity.

Why does Soyorin seem so powerful? She seems to have been like this since the beginning... Is she unhappy with Sakki's behavior?

Feeling the puzzled look of his beloved, Su Shi turned around and their eyes met.

"What's wrong, Aine-chan?"

"Soyorin just said she knows why Mortis came out to replace Mumu. What was the reason she told you?"

Hearing this, the smile on Su Shi's face suddenly froze, and then he turned to look at Xiangzi.

Su Shi didn't say anything, but the answer seemed self-evident.

Xiangzi naturally saw Su Shi's look, and she lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, Su Shi, I know... It's my fault."

Hearing this, Su Shi didn't know what to say. She sighed softly, "Xiao Xiang, you should change your personality."

"Otherwise, everyone close to you will be hurt... I'm worried about Aine-chan."

At this point, Su Shi rubbed her fingers subconsciously: "I don't want Aine-chan to get hurt."

Xiangzi nodded, agreeing with Su Shi's words in his heart: "I...I know, I also want to apologize to Mu now."

"By the way." Su Shi spoke again, his eyes fixed on Xiangzi again, "Today when I was chatting with Motis, I heard Xiao Mu's voice."

Hearing this, Aine crossed her arms and nodded: "I also saw Mumu last night. According to what Mumu said last night, Mortis can come out when her faith is not strong enough."

"I see..." Su Shi nodded, remembering what Motis said to her today, "It must be because of Xiao Mu's guilt. When I was chatting with Motis today, she said that Xiao Mu would rather have a good talk with us, and she wanted us to realize our mistakes."

After a pause, Su Shi continued, "Xiao Mu thinks this method is a bit extreme, so he did this, right?"

“That should be it.” Aine drank the last sip of her hot Earl Grey tea. “So, Soyorin, what do you want to do next?”

"After that? Now Metis has no hostility towards me." Su Shi said, and ordered three more cups of hot Earl Grey tea.

"I see." Suddenly, Aine seemed to remember something and took out a ticket from her pocket. "By the way, this is the ticket Mortis gave me. It's for the Fukuoka concert. She told me to go there. Soyorin, can you come with me?"

Sushi took the ticket from Aine: "Concert?"

Seeing the tickets for this concert reminded her of the bad memories at the Budokan...but...never mind.

"Sure, I'll accompany you then." Su Shi nodded and agreed.

"Soyorin, love~"

Su Shi smiled at Aine, then turned her attention to Xiangzi again: "By the way, Xiao Xiang, I saw it on TV. You guys have performed the stage play twice in a row, right?"

Xiangzi nodded without saying anything.

"Aren't you guys going to form a band? Can it still be a band if you keep going like this?" Su Shi's words pierced through Xiangzi's inner defenses. "Are you guys any different from a theatre troupe now?"

"Later...it will change back to normal." Xiangzi lowered his head.

"That's the best, because..." Su Shi closed her eyes and took a long breath. "Mertis also told me that she wants to take control of Mujica. Metis is good at acting, right?"

Although Su Shi knew that the current Mujica was causing great harm to Mu, she didn't really want to give Mujica to Metis. After all, it was Xiangzi's hard work. Of course, all this was based on the reconciliation between Xiangzi and Mu. If Xiangzi was still so awkward, Su Shi also agreed that Metis should control Mujica.

Su Shi didn't want to see anyone sacrificing their friends for the band.

When Xiangzi heard Su Shi's words, her body froze instantly. What? Metis... was going to take Mujica away?

No! I can't lose Mujica... If I lose Mujica, the agreement between me and my grandfather... will be broken... Then how can I help Xiao Ai!

"No!" Xiangzi suddenly stood up and shook her head desperately, "Mujica, we can't lose..."

Shoko's sudden action startled Aine and Sushi, and they both raised their heads to look at her.

Chapter 131 The Reason for Bad Attitude

Looking at Xiangzi's face full of resistance, Su Shi shook her head: "Metis said that in Mujica, Xiao Mu has always been wronged just to satisfy others. Once Xiao Mu becomes the center of Mujica, it will no longer be like this."

"I... I won't let Mu get hurt again... so... Mujica, I can't give it to you." Xiangzi's voice became smaller and smaller, but at the same time, her hands gradually clenched.

"Sakki?" Aine felt uncomfortable looking at Xiangzi's expression.

She knew that Mujica was very important to Xiangzi, but now that Mortis was going to extend his hand to the band that Xiangzi cherished, she understood Xiangzi's inner feelings.

Su Shi asked Xiangzi, "So what do you want to do?"
