"Then I'll go tell the editor." After saying that, Ruo Yemu walked around Xiangzi and headed out the door.
"Xiao Xiang..." Chuhua walked to Xiangzi and wanted to say something, but looking at Xiangzi's self-doubting look, the words he wanted to say only reached his lips and did not come out.
Miao Meng stood up and said, "Well, I'll go take a look too in case I need it in the future."
"I... I..." Xiangzi clenched his hands and slammed them on the table. The crisp sound made the four of them stop.
Chu Hua murmured to himself: "Xiao Xiang?"
"I... can shoulder the lives of others!" Xiangzi turned around, and the determination in his eyes made Ruoye Mu stunned.
Xiangzi clenched his fist and pounded it on his chest. "Even if my current abilities aren't enough, I will keep moving in that direction! Until... I take on the responsibility of other people's lives! Whether it's Mu, Xiaoai, or anyone else!"
Miao Meng naturally saw Xiangzi's resolute look, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
Could it be that... Xiangzi formed this band because he was determined to give up his wealthy status and persevere? Then... it seems that it is not only for the Fukuoka concert, but also for him to stay in this band forever. It is only a matter of time before he becomes successful, right?
"Xiao Xiang..." Chu Hua showed a smile. This look in Xiao Xiang's eyes was the one he saw when he was a child... Although I like the Xiao Xiang now as well... but, if it was the Xiao Xiang from before... that would be even better.
Even Hailing, who always believed in staying out of trouble, couldn't help but lower her head in thought after hearing Xiangzi's words: "Keep moving forward...?"
I didn't expect Toyokawa-san to have such awareness... If he keeps moving forward, will the band... fall apart?
Wakaba Mu looked at Xiangzi expressionlessly, but his heart was still surging with excitement.
Xiangzi’s eyes... are so beautiful. Now, have you realized this?
……
Xiangzi stood quietly at the door of the agency, carrying her shoulder bag. Her slightly lowered eyes hid unspeakable thoughts. The wind gently blew through her hair, lifting a few strands of hair, but it could not blow away the faint sadness in her eyes.
Why was my apology useless? I was telling Mu with all my heart, but the result was...
There was no time for Xiangzi to doubt herself, as Hailing's voice caught up with her from behind.
"Toyokawa-san."
"Hmm?" Xiangzi quickly put away the worry and sadness on her face, replaced it with a perfect smile, and turned around, "Hailing."
"You asked me to be your friend today, right?"
"Yeah, but Hailing must have been busy with other things at that time." Xiangzi chuckled, "She didn't add it right away."
Hailing's expression was calm: "I'm sorry, Ruoye was talking to me at the time, so I didn't notice."
Hearing this, Xiangzi's smile suddenly froze. She looked around and said, "Hailing, can we go to the park to talk in detail?"
Hailing took out her phone and checked the time: "I have to go to another band in an hour, so hurry up."
"okay."
The two of them came to the park and sat on a bench. After confirming that no one was around, Xiangzi asked directly: "What did she say to you?"
"It's just telling me that Mujica... can be my home." After saying that, Hailing lowered her head and looked at Beth who had always been by her side.
"Home..." Xiangzi shook his head. "Hai Ling, that person...is not Mu."
Hailing's fingers suddenly moved, and her grip on Beth's suitcase tightened. She turned her head and said, "Not Ruoye? What does that mean?"
"That person... is Metis, Mu's alter ego."
"Second personality?" Hai Ling's eyes were full of confusion. "Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"
Xiangzi looked at Hailing seriously: "It's true... Don't you feel that Muhe is different from the beginning?"
"I'm not familiar with her. I just thought she was acting at first..." Hailing fell silent. She lowered her head and then shook it gently. "No... I've seen her arguing with Chihaya before, but the impression she gave me back then was different..."
"Fight?" Xiangzi reacted quickly. Oh, Hailing must be talking about the incident when Xiaoai's ALS was exposed.
"Yes." Hailing nodded, recalling what happened that day. "I remember Chihaya's leg was injured at the time. However, after I talked to her for a few words, she cheered up again. She is such a strange person."
Just as Hailing finished speaking, her arm was tightly grasped by Xiangzi. Hailing turned her head in confusion and saw Xiangzi's anxious eyes: "Hailing, did you say Xiaoai was injured?"
Xiao Ai? What a familiar name! So Toyokawa-san is also very familiar with Chihaya-san? But if I think about it carefully, II: The Confession of Love (I) is also... Since Chihaya-san can play with Wakaba-san, it makes sense that she is also very familiar with Toyokawa-san.
However, judging from her expression, she doesn't know the specific things that happened between Chihaya and Wakaba... Then... I'd better not get involved and just stay out of it.
"Yes." Hailing nodded and said nothing more.
"Hailing, can you be more specific? Why was Xiaoai hurt?" Xiangzi's lips turned pale. She didn't expect that Xiaoai suffered more pain than herself that day, but when she returned home, she was still the one who comforted her... That fool... Isn't she really tired?
Although Xiangzi was begging her, Hailing still showed no sign of speaking again.
"Hailing... please, can you... just finish speaking?"
Hailing looked at Xiangzi quietly with his head down.
"I'm actually quite envious of you for being able to worry about things between yourself and your best friend." The words I once said to Chihaya Aine echoed in my ears again...
This kind of good friend... I really envy him... When can I have a good friend like this? A good friend who can think about each other wholeheartedly...
Worrying about my good friends, worrying about the band's affairs... When will this happen to me?
Thinking of this, Hailing sighed: "I don't know what Wakaba said to her at the time, and Chihaya ran over to chase her, but she fell down after just a few steps. However, Wakaba didn't see it and just walked away."
Xiangzi was silent, but her slightly trembling body represented her mood at the moment.
Chapter 144 Xiao Mu...fell asleep
"Hailing...can you help me?"
Hailing was a little confused: "Help you? Help with what?"
"Stand on my side. I don't want to give Mujica to Metis..."
Hailing didn't say anything, but just held Best's suitcase tighter.
She really wanted to agree, but every time she saw Xiangzi lowering his head, her heart seemed to be cut by a knife, revealing her former self and the things that frightened her and kept her awake all night.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in this matter. I'm just doing my job for the band. Goodbye." Hailing stood up, said this, and left the park carrying her bass case.
"It's just routine..." Xiangzi looked at Hailing's back and lowered his head again. "That's right... After all, Hailing is a bassist who has played in more than 30 bands. How could she have a special liking for just one of them?"
……
At the Ruoye family, Ruoye Mu was lying alone on the soft big bed. She stared blankly at the ceiling, and the scene of her and Su Shi in the Moon Forest today appeared in her mind...
This morning, as soon as Su Shi opened the classroom door and walked in, Ruo Yemu stopped her: "Su Shi, help me..."
Looking at Ruoye Mu who looked lost, Su Shi was startled: "Eh? What happened? It shouldn't be about Xiao Ai, right?"
"No..." Ruoye Mu shook his head, "Su Shi, put your bag on the table and come out with me."
Su Shi didn't think much about it. After putting the bag on his desk, he followed Ruoye Mu out of the classroom and came to the familiar cucumber vines.
"What's wrong, Metis?"
"Su Shi... help me, Xiao Mu, she... is asleep." After saying that, Ruo Yemu grabbed Su Shi's hands, his eyes filled with tears.
This was beyond Su Shi's comprehension. Her pupils shrank. "What? Why is Xiao Mu sleeping?"
"I don't know." Ruoye Mu's heart was already in turmoil. "Yesterday, after talking with you and Aiyin-chan in the coffee shop, I wanted to talk to Xiaomu, but... I couldn't find her."
"Su Shi...what should I do?" Ruo Yemu lowered his head. If Xiaomu was not here, then what was the point of me?
"Mertis, don't worry." Su Shi gently soothed her emotions, "Did Xiao Mu fall asleep yesterday?"
"Yes."
"What you said yesterday... maybe it's because Xiao Mu found out about your conversation with me, so..."
Su Shi's words reached Ruoye Mu's ears, and she looked at Su Shi blankly.
Because Mu fell into a deep sleep, Ruoye Mu had been very anxious from yesterday until now, and had never thought about the reason carefully. But now, Su Shi's words woke her up.
"Didn't she tell you that compared to your approach, she would rather have a good talk with us, right?" Su Shi smiled slightly and gently stroked Ruo Yemu's head. "Perhaps, she did this because she was not satisfied with your approach."
"Really?" Ruoye Mu was still confused.
Su Shi did not give Ruoye Mu a definite answer: "I feel this way."
"But...is it really useful to communicate properly?" Ruoye Mu's face still showed confusion.
Su Shi smoothed Ruoye Mu's hair gently, "Actually, Metis, letting the other person realize their mistakes and having a good communication is also a good way."
"But, Xiangzi's behavior... I can't accept it." Ruoye Mu squatted on the ground, his eyes full of grievances. Why doesn't Xiaomu understand me... Even Su Shi began to persuade me to communicate properly...
Thinking about this, Ruo Yemu reached out and grabbed Su Shi's ankle to prevent her from running away: "Su Shi... I'm so confused, can you stay with me?"
"can."
Thinking back to the present, if Ye Mu turned over to the other side, the setting sun would shine on her scarred face.
"Communicate well with Xiangzi? Su Shi also advised me so...but..." Ruoye Mu's eyes were moved.
"Today... Xiangzi said that in the company... Keep moving forward. Has Xiangzi realized this?"
"Could it be... am I really wrong to insist on this?" Ruoye Mu raised his hands and grabbed his hair irritably, "But I clearly felt that the words she said when she apologized to Xiaomu..."
Not really.
Night falls quietly.
Xiangzi walked step by step to the door of his home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a touch of pink rushing towards him.
Before his body could react, Xiangzi felt himself being held tightly. Aiyin's voice sounded a little aggrieved: "Sakki, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"
"Hmm? What's wrong, Ai?"
Aine let go of Xiangzi and took out her cell phone. On it was the call record between her and Li Xi this afternoon.
"Sakki, Rikki called me this afternoon and I have to go to the rehearsal room tomorrow to rehearse no matter what."
"Is that so... You can go tomorrow. We'll just have one live interview..." Then Xiangzi suddenly realized, "Who called you?"
"rikki."
Xiangzi put the bag aside and said, "Rikka? Wasn't she mean to you?"
"It's fierce..."
"I knew it." Xiangzi gently grabbed Aine's hand, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
"okay."
Back in Aine's room, the two sat on the sofa, looking into each other's eyes.
"Xiao Ai, what did Rikki tell you?"
"She...she asked me what MyGO was to me...was it just a band that could be easily dismissed...She was very angry that I often skipped rehearsals." As she spoke, Aine's voice became increasingly quiet.
Xiangzi closed his eyes, supported his head with one hand, and looked worried: "I am wrong about this, Xiaoai, I will accompany you to meet Rikki and Deng tomorrow."
“Eh? No need.” Aine waved her hand hastily. “Things are already troublesome enough right now. Didn’t you say we could talk about it after this is over?”
"No, I know what kind of person Rikki is. If I don't explain things to her, you'll definitely feel bad in MyGO... Nothing else is as important as you. I don't want you to feel this bad."
“No, no, Rikki is a very nice person.” Aine smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, trust me, she won’t say anything…”
Before Aiyin could finish, Xiangzi hugged her and interrupted her.
"Eh? Sakki?" Aine's body stiffened. She turned her head and looked at Xiangzi who buried his face in her neck. Just as she was about to say something else, she was startled by the sobbing sound in her ears.
Sakki is crying? Why? Did Mortis bully her again when she went to the agency today?
Aine gently placed her hand on Xiangzi's back to soothe her emotions: "Sakki, what's wrong? Why are you crying suddenly? Did Mortis bully you again?"
"You...it's you." Xiangzi's sobs grew louder. "Silly boy, aren't you tired of carrying so much on your own?"
"Eh?"
"I talked to Hailing today." Xiangzi sat up straight and wiped away his tears. "You were injured that day, right? And then... you came back at night and comforted me... Aren't you tired?"
“I…” Aine stuttered, “I’m not tired.”
Chapter 145 Conflict
Xiangzi pointed it out immediately: "It's a lie."
"I didn't..." Before Aine could finish her words, Xiangzi covered her mouth with his hand.
"Xiao Ai, you...can try to trust me." Xiangzi's eyes became determined. "I...am also working hard...and moving forward. I will shoulder the responsibility of other people's lives."
Carrying the lives of others...
Xiangzi's words lingered in Aiyin's ears. She looked at Xiangzi quietly, feeling a little surprised.
Sakki...what had she been through today? Why had she become so determined? Those words were so heavy.
