Silence surrounded the two of them again.

Aine leaned forward and looked at Mu's profile: "Um... Mu-san? What's wrong?"

Mu shook his head again and still said nothing.

"Mu-san, have you known Sakki since childhood?"

"Yes."

"Really, Mu-san, I feel like you're even more dull than Xiao Deng. Xiao Deng at least tells me the reason. Why can't you just speak out like Suze-san or Rikki?"

When Su Shi was mentioned, Mu's body stiffened, but then returned to normal.

"I am used to it."

Aiyin sighed. No, if this goes on, I'm going to be crushed to death by this gravity. I have to think of another topic.

"By the way, Mu-san, you are a student of Yuezhisen, right? You should know Sushi-san."

"Yeah, I'm friends with Sushi."

The light green hair still covered Mu's eyes. As if out of curiosity, the breeze quietly lifted Mu's hair and also opened the street lights behind them.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, what do you think of classmate Su Shi? She seems so gentle to me."

The sudden change of address made Mu feel a little awkward, but her character developed over the years did not allow her to make any objection.

"By the way, has Xiaomu been playing guitar since he was a child?"

"Ah."

"A guitar that can be praised by Sakki must be incredibly powerful."

Seeing that Mu didn't respond, Aine continued, "By the way, is there anything Mu likes?"

"cucumber."

Hearing this answer, Aine was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect that such a quiet-looking little girl would like cucumbers, although the two things had nothing to do with each other.

"I didn't expect Xiao Mu to like cucumbers. That's right, they're so delicious after all."

Ain quietly looked at Mu's profile, and Mu, who had not looked up for a long time, suddenly looked at Ain. Her fair and pretty face looked even more morbidly beautiful under the light, as if she was a doll, without much blood color.

"Do you want cucumbers?"

"Eh?"

Feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong, Mu lowered his eyes again: "I'm sorry... I said something I shouldn't have said."

"Did Xiaomu plant it himself?"

Mu didn't answer.

"If Xiaomu is willing to give it to me, then yes."

Hearing this, Mu's hands seemed to clench a little tighter, and there seemed to be emotions other than calmness in his eyes.

Finally, Xiangzi came back after buying the drinks and handed a drink to Aine: "I'm back. Here, Aine-chan, this is your drink."

"Oh, thanks sakki."

"Mu."

Mu looked at Xiangzi blankly and took the drink with both hands.

The moment she took the drink, Aine opened it and drank it eagerly.

The drink flowed over the tip of her tongue. When the tip of her tongue touched the drink, the sweet and sour taste instantly filled her senses. The surging drink flowed into her stomach, as if all the sorrows were drowned in this sweetness.

"Wow, it's delicious, Sakki is amazing, Love."

Listening to Aiyin's high-pitched announcement, Xiangzi's cheeks flushed a little, as if because of nervousness. Her fingers kept tapping the drink in her hand: "No...no."

"So, Sakki, what are we going to do next?"

"Come walk with me and chat with me, right here in the park."

"Okay."

"Mu, let's go."

After hearing what Xiangzi said, Mu also stood up from his chair and followed Xiangzi quietly.

And all of this was naturally seen by Aine.

"By the way, Aine-chan, I want to take some pictures with you in this park, is that okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Aine instantly became interested: "Huh? Why did Sakki suddenly want to take pictures?"

"I want to record the happy times with Aine-chan."

Aine nodded thoughtfully, but soon she realized something was wrong: "Damn, damn, Sakki, the clothes I'm wearing today aren't suitable for taking pictures. How about we wait until next time?"

"It's okay, Aine-chan looks good in anything."

"Huh, Sakki is so cunning, there's nothing I can do. Remember to take a good picture of me."

"okay."

Take a photo... Wings rise and flow ^ Full umbrella 2 Erjiu

Aiyin looked at the phone in Xiangzi's hand and thought, "Perhaps, I should also record my life. Later, it can serve as proof that I have been here..."

I had a great time spending a few hours in the park.

Yue climbed to a high altitude. After saying goodbye to the two of them, Aiyin left the park and returned to her home.

As soon as she got home, she plopped down on the couch, exhausted... but happy.

Aiyin looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought. She felt like she had to be guided by the girl named Mu before she would take the next step. She was like a puppet.

Why do I feel like everyone in Crychic, except for Su Shi, has some issues... Am I overthinking it?

Aiyin took the phone and clicked on Xiangzi's profile picture again.

[Aine: Sakki, why do I feel like Xiaomu is even more dull than Xiao Deng?]

[Xiangzi: Mu has always been like this... Oh, no, I think he was a little more lively when he was a kid.]

[Aine: I see.]

[Xiangzi: I heard from Mu that you added her chat method today?]

[Aine: Yeah, tomorrow is the weekend. I made an appointment with her to go to this park to practice guitar in the afternoon.]

[Shoko: I look forward to Aine-chan's progress.]

[Aine: Mmm, good night, Sakki, I’m going to sleep first.]

[Xiangzi: Good night, have a sweet dream.]

Mu returned to his home.

"Good evening, mother. I'm home."

As usual, Mu returned home, greeted his mother, and continued his unchanging daily life, like a puppet.

"You're back, Xiao Mu." The woman on the plush sofa had her back to Mu. She showed no emotion at her daughter's return. Her tone was flat, as if she was simply recounting something insignificant. "You must have had fun meeting your friends tonight, but don't forget to make up for the ballet class you missed tomorrow."

Although Mu had returned to the mansion, she still felt the cold wind piercing her skin and penetrating deep into her bones.

Mu hugged her body tightly, with her head down, not looking at her mother. Her hair seemed to understand Mu's thoughts, blocking the outside gaze for her and creating a protective space that belonged to her alone.

Mu responded mechanically: "Yes, mother."

"Then, go take a shower and rest early."

"Yes."

Just as Mu passed behind her mother, her mother spoke again: "Mu, I hope you will always remember that you are the child of a famous artist. You are the face of our family and our proudest child, Ruoye Mu."

Hearing this, Mu's mind flashed back to the words his family had said before...

"Mu, you are our child. You must work hard and surpass everyone else."

"Xiao Mu, you must study hard in ballet class. Mom and Dad have already arranged a path for you. We are doing this for your own good."

"Mu, you are our child. It is necessary for you to be a little tired because you have been the center of attention since you were born."

"Xiao Mu, you must be a good child. Mom and Dad won't harm you, okay? Mom and Dad are proud of you."

"Mu..."

Every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing Mu's heart; the words of the past were like a nightmare, following her all the time.

"Mu, did you hear that?" His mother's words awakened Mu who was immersed in the past.

"I heard you, Mother."

Mu Xing walked into the bathroom, took off Yue Zhisen's school uniform, and immersed her delicate white body in the warm water. It seemed that only in this way could she warm her cold heart.

Why? Aren’t mothers always gentle and homes always warm?

Why? I feel like this isn't the mother I know from textbooks.

Why? I don’t seem to have experienced the warmth that people talk about in this family.

Dragging his intact but bruised body, Mu walked out of the bathroom and returned to his room.

In this home, she was not allowed to lock the door, and her mother said that she wanted to communicate more with her children.

After closing the bedroom door, Mu could finally stop the world from tormenting her for a short while. She sat quietly on the bed, looking at the world outside through the window.

The scene seemed like a bird in a cage longing to soar into the sky.

"jingle."

The notification sound of the cell phone interrupted Mu Aoyou's thoughts. She picked up the phone and it was Aiyin.

[Ain: Xiaoyi, you said you would bring me cucumbers, don’t forget to bring me cucumbers tomorrow.]

After hesitating for a long time, Mu finally clicked on Ain's avatar and entered the chat box.

[Mu: Yeah. ]

After replying to Aiyin, Mu turned off his phone, said goodbye to today, and entered a dreamless night.

Chapter 15 Aquarium

Aiyin slowly woke up in the dim morning light, her eyelids heavy, a hint of confusion and sleepiness in her eyes, her consciousness still immersed in the afterglow of a dream.

She reached out her hand dazedly and fumbled to grab the phone next to her.

The screen lit up and time jumped into her eyes. At that moment, all her sleepiness disappeared.

It’s spicy! The time I agreed to meet Xiao Deng is almost here!

Aine was startled and immediately jumped up from the bed. The next moment, she hurriedly began to put on her clothes. In her panic, every piece of clothing seemed to be against her.

Finally, she almost ran under the bed while putting on her shoes. However, at the moment she hurriedly got out of bed, she suddenly felt her legs lose support. Perhaps it was because of her excessive anxiety, or perhaps it was because of her illness, Aine lost her balance.

Aine flailed her arms in the air, trying to grab onto anything for support, but alas, there was only air around her.

With a "thump", Aine fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, she felt a sharp pain spreading rapidly from the part that touched the ground to her whole body. Her face was distorted, her brows were furrowed, her lips trembled slightly, and her long hair was scattered on the ground, messy.

"It hurts!" Aiyin slowly got up from the ground. It took her a while before she slowly got up. She looked at her legs in some surprise. Could it be that her condition had worsened so quickly?

She moved her legs in disbelief, but didn't feel anything unusual.

Maybe he hasn't recovered from his sleep yet...

There was no time to waste, so Aine simply packed up and ran out of the house.

Following the direction from where Deng had left off, Aine arrived at the Sora no Mori Biological Aquarium, and as expected, Deng was already waiting for her there.

Deng, who had originally looked a little anxious, finally lost his uneasiness after seeing that familiar figure: "Aine..."

"Sorry, Xiao Deng, I'm late."

"It's okay, let's go in together."

After that, the two stepped into the aquarium. The lights inside were soft, reflecting a pool of clear water.

More than a dozen penguins swam nimbly in the water, their bodies drawing smooth curves in the water.

Aine and Deng's eyes sparkled with excitement as they stared at the cute penguins, as if attracted by their graceful swimming movements.
