What I really want to say to her...

Aine's words lingered in Mu's ears. Is there anything I want to say to Mortis? Yes... but... I can't say it... If I tell her... will it work?

"What are you doing?"

Just as Mu was immersed in her own thoughts, a sudden voice from behind interrupted her train of thought.

"Eh? Xiangzi?" Mu turned his head and saw that it was Xiangzi. For some reason, the burning sensation on his face became more obvious and his heartbeat quickened.

"You two..." Xiangzi came up to Mu, his face serious, his eyes darting back and forth between them, "You won't betray me again..."

Looking at Xiangzi's expression, Mu lowered his head weakly, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Um... Xiangzi, I'm sorry."

After holding on for a moment, Xiangzi finally couldn't help laughing and said, "Well, Mu, don't worry. I know everything about Xiaoai."

Mu didn't say anything, but just kept her head down. Her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.

Xiangzi walked up to Aiyin, put his hands on his hips, and said with a hint of teasing: "Tsk, Xiao Ai, you took advantage of my absence to bully Mu, right?"

"How are you bullying Mumu? Sakki is slandering me again." Aine turned her face away. Although she sounded a little dissatisfied, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Xiao Ai is really a playboy now. She has three girlfriends, me, Mu and Su Shi, right?" When Xiangzi said this, he crossed his arms and pouted, and the word "unhappy" was almost written on his face.

Although the three people present knew about this, Aine still lowered her head with a guilty look on her face for some reason: “Right…right.”

"Xiao Ai, kiss me." Xiangzi put his arm around Ain's waist, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Aiyin shook her head and refused, breaking free from Xiangzi's embrace: "No, Mumu is watching."

"It's okay, you can just give me another kiss later, right?"

Hearing Xiangzi's explicit words, Mu said, "I'll go back to the house first," and ran away quickly, covering his red face.

"Okay, stop it. You scared Mumu away." Aiyin pouted and looked at Xiangzi. "I really don't know what kind of person you will become in Mumu's heart in the future."

Xiangzi waved his hand, indicating that Aine didn't need to worry: "Well, it's just normal. We are childhood sweethearts. It's okay."

"By the way, when you went to the agency today, what did you talk about with your agent?"

Seeing that Aine was asking about serious matters, Xiangzi stopped laughing and said, "She said that the audience was very satisfied with the Fukuoka concert. The next tour location will be in Yokohama, and it will be next weekend."

Aine nodded: "Is that so? Then, Sakki, how long will it take for your tour to end?"

"There are still three more games after Yokohama."

"That's it."

"The agent asked me to perform on stage again, but I refused."

"Huh? What did she say?"

"She said... your performance is also very good, and your guitar skills are also good enough, so she wants you to join Mujica and form a six-member band..."

Hearing this, Aine's mouth curled up unconsciously: "How about it, Sakki, my guitar skills are pretty good too."

"Yes, yes, of course my Xiao Ai's level is enough."

"Then how did you refuse?"

"I said she was my friend and was just making a cameo appearance, and she had a band."

“I see…” Aine nodded, a hint of regret in her tone, “It’s better to refuse. That way I won’t pass out on stage.”

Xiangzi naturally heard the tone of Aiyin's voice. She took Aiyin's hand and said, "Xiao Ai, when you are well again, Mujica will welcome you anytime."

“Pfft.” Aine chuckled, “Okay, okay, once I’m better, I’ll switch back and forth between mygo and Mujica.”

While the two were discussing, Mu stood at the door and called softly to them, "Um, Xiangzi, Aine-chan, dinner is ready."

"Yeah, here I come, Mumu."

The space on the dining table is already filled with food.

Since Aine's father was working overtime tonight, the four of them gathered around the dining table, while Aine's mother looked at the three young girls with a smile on her face.

"Xiao Mu, you haven't been here for a long time. Try this cucumber and egg. Aine asked me to make it specially for you."

"Well, thank you, Auntie." Mu nodded, picked up some cucumber and egg with the serving chopsticks, and put them on her own plate. Her movements were gentle and polite, and she looked like a young lady.

Aiyin's mother's eyes were full of joy: "I remember that Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu were childhood sweethearts, right?"

Xiangzi nodded: "Yes, that's right, Auntie."

Aiyin ignored the conversation between Xiangzi and his mother and just picked up some more cucumber and egg for Muduo: "Here, Mumu, eat more."

"Xiao Ai, I want one too."

Seeing this, Xiangzi pouted and said in a rather coquettish tone: "Okay, I'll give you some too."

"Thank you, Xiao Ai."

Sensing the subtle atmosphere at the table, Aine's mother naturally understood everything. She looked at Mu with a smile, and said with a hint of teasing, "Are Xiao Muye and Aine a couple?"

"Cough cough cough..." Mu, who was still eating, choked after hearing these words.

"Well, yes, Mom." Aine patted Mu's back gently, and soon, Mu's cough finally stopped.

Seeing Aine admit it, Aine's mother laughed and said, "You little girl, you have taken all the good girls."

"Of course, Chihaya Aine is very charming." Aine raised her chin proudly, with a hint of confidence and mischief in her tone.

Chapter 164 Meeting in the Rehearsal Room

The next day, RiNG.

Aine pushed open the door to the rehearsal room, and before she could close it, Riki's voice reached her ears.

"came back?"

Aine turned around and found Riki standing behind her, leaning against the wall in the corridor, two bottles of coffee in her hands. Her expression remained cold, but there was a subtle hint of concern in her eyes.

Before Aiyin could react, Li Xi stuffed one of the bottles of coffee into her hand, then twisted the cap with two fingers, easily opened it, tilted his head back and took a sip, his movements quick and decisive.

"Rikki?" Aiyin looked at the coffee in her hand. She didn't understand why Riki suddenly seemed like a different person. "What's wrong with you?"

"Comfort gifts." Li Xi turned her face away, her voice a little stiff, but the blush on her face betrayed her mood, "You...are you in the hospital, so..."

Aine was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft, whose comfort gift would be coffee?"

If it were before, Li Xi would have immediately retorted, but today she was unexpectedly silent. Her fingers unconsciously stroked the coffee bottle, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Sorry."

Aine blinked, a little surprised: "Rikki?"

Li Xi still lowered her head, not daring to meet Aiyin's gaze. Her voice was intermittent, as if saying these words had exhausted all her courage: "I apologize for what I said before... You, were obviously the one who worked the hardest for the band... That day... I'm sorry."

"Rikki..." Aine looked at Rikki, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She didn't expect that the usually strong Rikki would take the initiative to apologize. Her tone couldn't help but soften, "Well, Rikki, you don't even know how to apologize."

Li Xi raised his head suddenly, a trace of panic and confusion flashed in his eyes, "Huh? This...how is this not an apology?"

"If you want to apologize, at least look people in the eye." Aiyin approached Li Xi with a smirk on her face and gently nudged her arm with her elbow. "Well, do it again, do it again."

"Stop being so irritating!" Li Xi pushed Aiyin away, crossed his arms over his chest, and walked quickly into the rehearsal room with obvious embarrassment on his face.

This guy! I persuaded myself for a long time before finally making up my mind to apologize to her like this, and she actually... I'm so angry! I finally took the initiative once, and I lost so completely!

Li Xi roared inwardly, sat back in front of the drum set indignantly, and subconsciously struck the drumhead with the drumstick in his hand.

"Rikki?" Aine walked slowly into the rehearsal room, closed the door, came up behind Riki, and put her hands on her shoulders. "Rikki? Are you angry again?"

Li Xi answered Liu Qi*er (eight)'s father decisively: "No."

“What a tsundere.” Aine shook her head helplessly, “Rikki, ah Rikki, you’re just too stubborn.”

"Shut up. How's the guitar part of 'A Meeting of Music' going? Go practice it quickly." Li Xi turned his face away, his tone still firm, but his ears were quietly red.

"Hey, Rikki, Rikki, there was nothing wrong with my performance last week. It's obvious that Rikki had more problems."

After hearing this, Li Xi recalled how Aiyin's words had thrown her off her rhythm last week. She turned her head away, her words filled with shame and annoyance: "How dare you say that? It's all your fault."

"Huh? Why blame me? I've tried my best." Aine spread out her hands with an innocent look on her face.

Li Xi seemed to have identified the reason: "It's your fault, that's why I knocked on the wrong door."

“Rikka… you don’t even have a reason…” Aine looked at her speechlessly, “You’re just making up your own story.”

"Why is there no reason..."

Li Xi blurted out something in a fit of excitement, but halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.

If I tell her the reason, this guy's words will make me upset...I will definitely be laughed at by this guy again, right?

Seeing that Rikki had been silent, Aine said with an "I understand" expression: "Well, Rikki, mistakes are not a big deal, but lying is not a good thing."

"Hmph!" Li Xi crossed his arms over his chest, turned his face away and ignored Aiyin, sighing heavily in his heart. This guy is really annoying... But, a day like this... is also pretty good.

As soon as the farce between the two ended, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open and Deng and Su Shi walked in.

Deng still looked timid, holding her notebook in her hand, while Su Shi was as elegant as ever, with a faint smile on her face.

"The wild cat hasn't come yet?" Li Xi asked helplessly.

Aine shrugged, "I sent a message to Rana-chan, but she hasn't replied yet."

"Tsk, I told her to check her phone before."

Just as Li Xi finished speaking, a crisp sound reached everyone's ears and the door of the rehearsal room was knocked.

"Who?" Li Xi was a little confused. "Please come in."

Click.

The door was gently pushed open, and a girl with blue hair timidly poked her head in. She glanced around the rehearsal room, finally landing on Aine: "Um... everyone..."

"Xiao Xiang?" Deng was surprised, her eyes fixed on Xiangzi. She had not expected that Xiangzi would come to RiNG.

Isn't Xiaoxiang at AveMujica? Why is he here? Is he...looking for Aine-chan?

"Sakki, come in." Aine waved to Xiangzi with a smile. The latter nodded and walked into the rehearsal room.

Xiangzi nodded and walked into the rehearsal room, her movements seeming a bit awkward. As she walked in, a green-haired girl popped her head out from behind the door.

Mu lowered his head and bit his lower lip lightly. He looked even more nervous than Xiangzi, and his fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of his clothes.

"Mu?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why are you here too?"

Deng's eyes flicked back and forth between Xiangzi and Mu, his mind a little confused: "Xiao Mu? You and Xiao Xiang..."

"Deng, I came here today because I have something to say..." Xiangzi took a deep breath, his fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, his voice trembling slightly.

There's something to say...

Looking at Xiangzi's nervous expression, Deng couldn't help but think of the day when Crychic disbanded.

Deng's heart sank suddenly, and his fingers unconsciously gripped the notebook.

Xiaoxiang...she shouldn't be taking Aiyin away, right? But, judging from their relationship before...

Xiangzi bent down to the crowd, his voice low and sincere, "Deng, I'm sorry, everyone, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have quit Crychic without even telling you why. It's me who has troubled everyone for so long."

Deng was stunned: "Huh?"

"That's... the reason I quit Crychic... because..."

Xiangzi's eyes were always on Deng, as if these words were spoken to her alone.

Chapter 165 Relieved

After listening to Xiangzi's statement, Deng was stunned, and his eyes moved back and forth between Sushi and Lixi. However, Sushi and Lixi's reactions were unexpectedly calm, as if they had already known all this.

Why were Sushi and Lixi so calm? Did they already know?

"Everyone... I'm so sorry for what happened at that time... I was too naive. I shouldn't have taken my self-esteem so seriously. I shouldn't have hurt my good friends for the sake of so-called self-esteem. I'm sorry... Can you forgive me?" Xiangzi's voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into a murmur.

"Xiaoxiang..." Deng hesitated. She turned to look at the others, but seeing no response, she finally set her gaze on Aine.

"Hmm?" Aine was naturally paying attention to the movement of the lamp. She smiled slightly and said gently, "What's wrong, Tomorin?"

Deng lowered his head, his voice trembling a little: "I... want to restore my previous relationship with Xiaoxiang..."

"Then it's good that you're recovering. Why do you have to look at me?" Aine tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her tone.

“Because… I’m afraid Aine-chan will be sad…” Deng’s voice became quieter and quieter, his fingers tightly gripping the edge of the notebook, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Are you afraid that I will be sad? Why does Tomorin feel this way?

Aine frowned slightly, she was puzzled: "Why does Tomorin feel that I will be sad?"

Deng's voice lowered: "Because...Aine-chan and Xiaoxiang have a good relationship...I'm afraid...after I restore my relationship with Xiaoxiang...Aine-chan will be unhappy."
