"She also said..." Hailing raised her head and looked at the sky, her eyes a little dazed, "She will also work hard..."

"Huh?" Li Xi was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Hai Ling to say this. "She...will also work hard?"

"Correct."

"What an idiot." Li Xi sighed, as if venting all the helplessness in his heart, "That guy... always wants to take all the responsibility on himself. What a pushover."

I should have a good talk with Aine... After all, we have to form a band for the rest of our lives. If she gets sick from all this, it won't be worth it.

Hypnotizing himself in this way, Li Xi planned to have a good talk with Aine after rehearsal today.

"Really? You're very observant."

Hearing Hailing's words, Lixi exclaimed "Ha", then turned his face away so that Hailing wouldn't see his face gradually turning red.

Chapter 174 Is it fun to carry someone else's life?

Hailing naturally noticed Li Xi turning his face away. She leaned over, a playful smile on her lips, and a hint of gloating in her voice: "Why, are you shy?"

"Nonsense! Who's shy?" Li Xi turned around abruptly, his cheeks slightly flushed, and his tone was filled with a hint of anger and embarrassment. "How could I be shy? And... I have no reason to be shy!"

"Oh, I misunderstood you." Hailing touched her chin, a cunning look in her eyes.

Li Xi waved his hands impatiently, trying to end the topic: "Okay, let's eat."

After saying that, Li Xi no longer paid attention to Hai Ling and just ate his rice.

However, although she seemed to be eating her meal obediently, she was still thinking about Aine in her mind.

That guy... why on earth did he do so much? He wasn't even close to Hailing, but he was still so willing to help her. Tsk, really, someone like her could be sold out and still happily help others count money.

As the conversation between the two came to an end, leaving only bursts of chewing sounds, Chu Hua, who was hiding not far away, walked back to the classroom.

Sitting in his seat, Chu Hua's mind was filled with the conversation between Hai Ling and Li Xi.

"What..." Chu Hua held his chin with one hand, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, "Why would there be such a person? She wants to take all the responsibility on herself... She..."

Thinking of this, Chu Hua scratched his golden hair in annoyance, and a few strands of hair fell on the table: "She... why is she so kind? Is she very familiar with Hai Ling? But from what Hai Ling said... it shouldn't be that they are familiar with each other, right?"

"Is Xiao Ai really that good?" Chu Hua lay on the table and recalled the scene when he met Aiyin and Xiangzi before.

Aine's smile was as warm as sunshine, as if it could dispel all the haze.

It seems...it's really warm...I feel like she is like the sun...

Chu Hua covered his head with his hands, his eyes filled with pain (Six) Yi Qi Yi Er 8+Private Si.

What?! With a girl like this... How can Xiaoxiang still look at me? I clearly wanted to be with Xiaoxiang forever... If this happens... It's definitely going to be a disaster!

After a moment, Chuhua raised his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, searched for a while, and found Aiyin's chat avatar.

"I said before that I wanted to learn how Xiao Ai and Xiao Xiang get along, but I never had the time... and now summer vacation is almost here... why not wait until summer vacation."

……

Afternoon, RiNG rehearsal room.

"Ain, what's wrong with you today?" Li Xi knocked the drumstick, and the rehearsal of the five people was interrupted again.

Her brows furrowed, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "This is the third time the guitar has gone wrong."

"Uh... I'm sorry, Rikki. Maybe I'm not in a good condition." Aine lowered her head a little embarrassedly. She looked at her fingers. They were fine before, so why did they feel a little stiff now?

"Aine-chan, are the aftereffects of your previous fracture showing up again?" Sushi asked worriedly, "Did you use too much force when playing the guitar just now? You said before that the aftereffects would only appear if you exerted too much force."

"Uh, yeah, a little." Aine felt a little embarrassed. She had forgotten that she had used a broken bone as an excuse before. Sure enough, Soyorin is still good to me. Love~

Originally, Aiyin was still trying to find an excuse to escape Riki's pressure, but since Su Shi had spoken, she just went along with it.

Hearing this, Li Xi had no more words to say: "Then let's stop here for today's rehearsal. You should have a good rest. If you do something like what happened during rehearsal again in the future live, I will put pressure on you."

After Riki finished speaking, Sushi immediately spoke up: "Well, Riki, don't be too harsh on Aine-chan. After all, she is injured."

"Tsk." Li Xi glanced at Su Shi helplessly, then turned his gaze to Ain, "Ain, wait a minute, I have something to say to you."

After saying that, Li Xi looked at Deng again: "Deng, today... I won't go back with you first. I want to talk to this guy for a few words."

"Yeah, okay." Deng nodded while holding his notebook, "Li Xi... don't make it too difficult for Aine-chan."

"Okay, I understand." Li Xi held his head in distress. The same goes for Su Shi and Deng... Why are they all siding with this guy?

This guy is so annoying... although he's a nice guy...

"Talk to me?" Aiyin hid behind Su Shi and looked at Riki with a wary look on her face. "Riki...you don't want to bully me, do you?"

Li Xi was speechless: "Huh? Why would I bully you? Okay, let's go to the coffee shop on the second floor. Su Shi, Deng, you go back first."

Su Shi glanced at Riki suspiciously, turned around, and gently rubbed Aine's head: "Well, Aine-chan, it's okay. Although Riki is very straight, he is still a good person, you know."

"No...what do you mean? It's not like I'm really bullying this guy."

After the commotion ended, Aine and Riki came to the familiar coffee shop.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Kasumi came over and said, "Hey, what do Ritsuki and Aine want to drink?"

"I'll just keep it the coffee I usually drink."

"Then I'll be the same as Rikki."

After Kasumi left, Aine looked at Rikki with a smile on her face: "Well, I haven't talked to Rikki like this before."

Li Xi crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in her chair. She just nodded calmly to Aine's words without denying them.

"Rikki, can you buy me coffee today?"

Snapped!

Li Xi slapped the table, and the crisp sound echoed in the somewhat empty coffee shop. The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Li Xi withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

She turned her face away, her face red with embarrassment: "Why should I treat you?"

"Well, you haven't invited me yet."

Seeing Aine's as if it was a matter of course, Riki was puzzled: "Why do you act as if it's a matter of course? You haven't even invited me, have you?"

“Well, you invited me, so I can just invite you back later.” Aine spread her hands.

"Tsk, no need. I can still afford a cup of coffee." Li Xi rolled his eyes at Ai Yin and sighed helplessly, "You talked to Hai Ling yesterday, right?"

“Yeah.” Aine nodded, “Did she tell you?”

"She told me about it during lunch break today." Li Xi turned his face away, his voice gradually weakening, "You really are a good person."

Aiyin was stunned for a moment and blinked: "Huh? What do you mean?"

"I've always wanted to shoulder everything on my own." Li Xi sighed. She turned her head and looked at Aiyin. "Carrying someone else's life... is it fun?"

Chapter 175 A Unique Heartbeat

"Rikki...why do you say that?"

Aiyin turned her face away. For some reason, when Riki's eyes were fixed on her, she felt inexplicably panicked, as if she had done something wrong.

"Didn't you tell Hailing that you would work hard too?" Li Xi stared at Aiyin, his face no longer relaxed, replaced by a hint of seriousness.

Aine didn't deny it: "Uh...I did say that."

"You want to bring Mujica together while rehearsing here at mygo?"

Although Li Xi's voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable tone, leaving Ai Yin at a loss as to how to respond. She could only lower her head and silently endure Li Xi's output.

"Didn't you go to the hospital a few days ago? Have you forgotten this?"

Aine remained silent, and the cafe was filled with Riki's questions.

"We agreed to form a lifelong band. If something happens to you, how are you going to explain it to Deng? How are you going to explain it to Su Shi and Wildcat?"

Li Xi crossed her arms and sighed, "Really? You're only thinking about others."

Aiyin clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning slightly white, and Riki's words kept hitting her mind.

If anything goes wrong with my body... I...

Those light words made Aine's body tremble uncontrollably. She took a deep breath, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Well, Rikki, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Um...if there's anything you can't handle...you can tell me..." Riki didn't notice Aine's abnormality. He just turned his head away, his cheeks flushed. "We are in the same band after all...I will also...help...you."

"Well, thank you, Rikki." Aine lowered her head and didn't look at Rikki.

Just then, Kasumi came over with two cups of coffee, temporarily interrupting their conversation.

After Kasumi left, Riki held his chin with one hand, reached out to pick up his coffee, took a sip, and thought about the next topic.

Aiyin picked up the teacup and looked at the boiling hot coffee in it. She took a sip. The bitter coffee flowed into her throat along with the hot air, suppressing the sadness in her heart a little.

After feeling sad, eating or drinking something will definitely make you feel better.

After taking a few deep breaths, Aiyin adjusted her emotions. She raised her head and continued to look at Li Xi calmly.

"Well, Aine, I didn't expect Shoko to act that cowardly."

Riki suddenly spoke up, the rapid change of topic making Aine unable to react for a moment: "Sakki?"

"Yeah." Li Xi nodded and put the coffee on the table. "That day, she came to the rehearsal room to apologize. It was the first time I saw her like that."

"Really..." Aine nodded noncommittally, "After all... everyone has a vulnerable side, and Sakki is no exception."

"Then..." Li Xi was a little uneasy, with one hand resting on the table for a while, and then on his legs, his uneasiness was visible to the naked eye. "Do you have a vulnerable side?"

"?"

Aiyin looked at Li Xi quietly. "Sister, your question is too direct, isn't it? What kind of nice person would directly ask someone if they have a vulnerable side?"

As if realizing that his words were inappropriate, Li Xi quickly shook his head: "No... It's nothing, Aiyin doesn't need to answer... Sorry."

The atmosphere fell into a brief period of stiffness again.

After a long while, Aine spoke: "Rikki, I heard Shiina Maki in Haneda before. Is she Rikki's sister?"

After the words fell, Li Xi's hands, which originally didn't know what to do, suddenly became quiet. She lowered her head and said, "Yes."

"Then... why did Rikki go to Hanasakigawa instead of Hanaoka?"

"I went to junior high school in Hanaoka, but I didn't want to live in my sister's shadow forever...so I went to Hanasakigawa for high school."

As he spoke, Riki took another sip of his coffee: "I can't compare to her... She's too perfect. In Haneda, no one knows that my name is Shiina Riki. They only know that I'm Shiina Maki's sister."

This seemed to open Lixi's heart, and she continued, "Not only my sister, but Xiangzi too... At Crychic, her talent for composition made me despair... She could rewrite something I could never have thought of with just a flick of a pen... Compared to them... I'm nothing."

"I clearly...want to be as outstanding as them..."

Li Xi clenched his fists and his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

But the next moment, she felt a weight on her shoulders. She turned her head and saw Aine had come to her side without her noticing. She put her hands on Rikki and opened her thin lips: "No, Rikki."

"This...is not the same thing as anywhere else." Li Xi turned his face away, as if trying to escape.

"No one is perfect. You just said that Sakki can also show that cowardly side, right?" Aine smiled softly, extremely gentle. "Rikki, there is no need to compare yourself with them, nor do you need to be someone else. Rikki is Rikki, just be yourself."

Li Xi raised his head and looked at Ai Yin blankly: "Huh?"

"Rikki's drum is not a means to catch up with his sister, but the unique heartbeat of our Mygo..."

After a pause, Aine continued, "Of course, the lyrics aren't meant to be a tool to rival Sakki, but rather a light that illuminates the way forward for our Mygo. Otherwise, Mygo will really be Mygo, right? We Mygo can't be without Rikki."

Aine's words were like a ray of light, shining into Riki's abyss of "inferiority complex", penetrating deeper and deeper, dispelling all the darkness he saw along the way.

"It's okay, Rikki. No matter what happens, we'll be with you, because we're MYGO!!!!!" Aine patted Rikki's shoulder gently. "Like you just said to me, if there's anything you can't handle, you can tell me. After all... we're in the same band."

In an instant, Li Xi felt her nose sore. At this moment, she actually felt that the stone pressing on her heart had loosened a lot, and her body felt much lighter.

This guy... what the hell, he keeps saying this, it's really annoying! My nose is sore... I want to cry... but if I cry... I'll probably be laughed at by this guy.

"Well, I know!"

Rikki's voice trembled slightly as it reached Aine's ears. Aine could tell something was wrong with the voice. She tilted her head and looked at Rikki: "Rikki? Are you crying?"

"Who's crying! I... I'm not crying!" Li Xi shook off Ain's hand on his shoulder, but the red nose and the big tears could not deceive Ain.

Seeing that Li Xi was still trying to be brave, Ai Yin took out a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Li Xi: "Here, wipe it."

"I...I already said I didn't cry..."

This piece of paper became the final blow that broke Riki's defenses. She hugged Aine tightly, and her initial sobs gradually turned into loud crying.

The final stage
