The next day, at the dining table, after the two of them finished their meal, Aine sat quietly on the sofa, stroking her fingers non-stop.
The window was slightly open, and a gentle breeze came in, ruffling Aine's long hair.
Su Shi had been watching Aine's little movements. She sat down next to Aine and said, "Aine-chan, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?"
"I... Soyorin, I want to tell you something, do you want to listen?" Aiyin gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her head.
This sudden action made Su Shi stunned. A bad feeling spread in her heart and took root deeply.
Su Shi opened his mouth, his voice a little low: "What...what's the matter?"
"Actually...actually..." Aine wanted to tell Su Shi the secret in her heart, but the words couldn't come out no matter what.
Aiyin was scared. She didn't know how Su Shi would react after she told him.
"What?" Su Shi smiled slightly, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere with a lighthearted tone, "Aine-chan, you're not thinking of playing a prank on me, are you?"
Aine's expression was calm as she shook her head.
This indifferent look reflected in Su Shi's mind, making her heart skip a beat. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of her favorite hot Earl Grey tea.
Taking a deep breath, Aine gently grasped Soyo's other hand: "Soyorin... I... have ALS."
With just these few words, the whole house fell silent. Su Shi's hand holding the teacup remained motionless, and in her ears, there was only the wailing sound of the wind.
Su Shi blinked, but only felt that Aine in front of her was becoming blurry. She reacted from her daze, shook her head heavily, and when she looked at Aine again, she found that it was still blurry, as if there was a layer of frosted glass between the two of them.
The sound of the wind in her ears quieted down, replaced by a ringing in her ears, as if someone had hit her head with a heavy hammer.
The fragrance of the black tea in her hand suddenly became a little disgusting. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Snapped!
Her hand could no longer bear the weight of the teacup and dropped. The gorgeous white teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The black tea inside spilled onto the floor, leaving a hideous reddish-brown pool.
“soyorin…” Aine hugged Suye tightly.
The sudden hug made Su Shi instinctively spread her arms and pushed Aine away. A tear fell on the sofa. Aine's appearance was a little clearer than before. She opened her mouth slightly, her voice a little hoarse: "You... Aine-chan, please don't joke around. This is not funny."
"I'm sorry...soyorin...I...didn't lie to you...this time."
Seeing Aine lowering her head, Su Shi was a little dazed for a moment. She wanted to lift Aine's face with her hands, but found that she didn't have the strength to support this idea: "You... didn't you say it was just Raynaud's phenomenon? Why... did it suddenly become ALS?"
“I’m sorry, Soyorin… I, I just don’t want to make you worry…” Aine reached out, trying to hold Soyo’s hand.
But the moment she touched Su Shi's hand, she was thrown away by him. Su Shi retreated a distance: "You...Aine-chan, you said you have ALS...are you really not lying to me?"
At this moment, Su Shi looked at Ain who lowered her head again, and in her heart she actually wanted Ain to raise her head and say with a smile: Humph, soyorin, you were fooled by me, hehe.
But... good things always go against one's wishes.
Chapter 181 I'm sorry, soyorin
Aine raised her head, her eyes unable to contain the tears any longer, streaming down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, falling one by one to the floor: "I'm sorry... Soyorin."
Su Shi's voice trembled a little: "Then you lowered your head and thought yesterday..."
"I was hesitating whether to tell you about ALS... Sorry, sorry, Soyorin." Aine approached Su Shi and wanted to hug her, but Su Shi suddenly stood up from the sofa and avoided Aine's apology.
"Aine-chan...this..." Su Shi blinked, her eyes unfocused, and all the things about Aine in her mind seemed to be strung together into one thread at this moment.
It seems... everything is explained?
"soyorin..." Aine started, a hint of begging in her voice, and she wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Su Shi.
"I'm sorry... Aine-chan, let... let me be alone... okay?" Su Shi lowered her head, her voice still hoarse, "Today... I can't take you home, you go back by yourself first... okay?"
Listening to Su Shi's words, Ai Yin's heart was torn. She rushed over, holding Su Shi tightly with both hands, and every word she said seemed to have drained her last bit of strength: "Soyorin won't do anything dangerous...Soyorin..."
Do something dangerous? Would I do it? Maybe... I don't know.
Even though she was thinking this, Su Shi still shook her head with a wry smile: "No... I haven't married Aine-chan yet... I won't do it."
"Really...really?" Aiyin's voice, with a clear plea, pierced into Su Shi's ears, like a sharp blade, cutting her heart and causing pain.
Su Shi pushed Aine's hands away, she closed her eyes and nodded quietly.
Seeing this, Aine didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head, walked out of the living room step by step, and quietly closed the door.
With the sound of the door closing, Su Shi opened her eyes and the tears that had just been choking her flowed out.
What just happened... was it real? Am I really not dreaming? What did I do wrong... Xiaoxiang too... Crychic too... and now even Aine-chan...
Why do all the beautiful things I have come into contact with keep going away from me...
The violent impact made Su Shi unable to stand steadily. She fell to her knees on the ground with a thud. Her knees hit the floor heavily with a dull sound, and her heart was beating very fast.
Su Shi was panting and breathing greedily. Everything in front of her eyes became blurred again. She shook her head, trying to regain consciousness, but found that her vision was still blurry. She used her last bit of consciousness to stand up with the help of the sofa, stumbled to the kitchen, and gripped the edge of the sink with her fingers.
She turned on the water and the icy water poured on her head. The biting chill made her shiver and made her blurry consciousness much clearer.
Drops of water slid down her hair and soaked her collar, but she was completely unaware.
Su Shi didn't care about her wet hair. She fumbled to take out her cell phone from her pocket and looked at the surveillance video. After confirming that Aine had left the building, she threw her phone on the sofa, as if she had lost the last bit of her sanity.
Coming to the bedroom and pushing open the door, everything seemed so beautiful. The quilt still carried the warmth of the two of them, and the scent of Aine seemed to linger in the air.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting a thin strip of light on the floor.
But for some reason, Su Shi felt that all this beauty was so dazzling that it drove him crazy.
Finally... the pretense I had put on in front of Aine just now completely collapsed.
"Snapped!"
She suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground, fragments flying everywhere and water stains spreading on the floor.
Su Shi looked at the fragments and seemed to see Aine's shattered life.
"Why!" Su Shi's voice was filled with endless tremors, "Why didn't you tell me before!"
She continued to pick up the teacup on the table and smashed it towards the vase in the inner room. The sound of shattering filled the bedroom, but Su Shi felt that it was not enough... It was not enough to make her forget the pain temporarily, nor was it enough to make her forget every word that Aiyin said temporarily.
The mirror on the dressing table reflected her distorted and crazy face.
As if unwilling to admit her current self, Su Shi picked up the desk lamp and smashed it against the mirror. The cracks spread like a spider web, dividing her face into countless pieces.
In every fragment, there was Aine's weak smile.
"Chihaya Aine! If I hadn't discovered your lie, how long would you have kept it from me?" Su Shi screamed at the shattered mirror, "What did I do wrong? Why are they all doing this to me?"
"You clearly pulled me out, but now you want to abandon me!"
Su Shi fell to the ground, his palms pressed on the glass fragments, and blood flowed through his fingers.
The pain made her sober up a little.
Looking down at the scarlet mirror, Su Shi sobbed, "I... I just want a... a place where I can feel warm..."
"I...what did I do wrong...was I too greedy..."
After walking out of the building, Aiyin stopped, her heart beating violently. Then, she took out her cell phone, clicked on Su Shi's profile picture, and called.
One second, two seconds...fifteen seconds, no one answered.
Called again, still no one answered.
Without hesitation, Aine quickly turned back, Soyorin! Don't do anything stupid!
"Ding!"
The sound of the elevator rang out, and Aiyin watched as it finally reached the top floor. The moment the elevator door opened, Aiyin suddenly jumped out and came to the door of Su Shi's house. After skillfully entering the password, she opened the door and ran in.
It was eerily quiet at home.
Looking at the familiar scene, for some reason, Aine felt a sense of fear in her heart: "Soyorin?"
Aine called out softly, but no one responded. After confirming that there was no one on the first floor, Aine ran up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
She gently pushed open the door of Su Shi's bedroom. Su Shi was sitting in the middle of the floor. The ground was covered with broken glass shards. There was a pool of undried blood closest to Su Shi.
"Soyorin!" Aine's exclamation attracted Su Shi's attention.
Sushi turned her head stiffly, her voice even hoarseer than before Aine left: "Aine-chan?"
Looking at Su Shi's appearance, Ai Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was in even greater pain.
Luckily, Soyorin didn't do anything stupid... But, if I hadn't told Soyorin about this, she would definitely have accompanied me to the rehearsal room and rehearsed happily with me...
Aine dodged the broken glass on the ground while walking to Soyo, kneeling on the ground and hugging her gently, as if comforting a wounded animal: "I'm sorry, Soyorin, I shouldn't have done this..."
"This shouldn't be the case... What shouldn't be the case?" Su Shi's eyes lost their former glint. "Do you... still want to keep it a secret from me?"
Chapter 182 Aine-chan is still naughty (still owes 12 chapters)
"No... I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to Soyorin... I'm sorry." Aiyin hugged Su Shi tightly, afraid that she would push her away again like she just did.
Su Shi's voice trembled: "Xiao Xiang... Xiao Mu and the others know?"
Hearing this, Aine was stunned, but this time she did not choose to hide it, but nodded.
Seeing Aiyin's affirmation, Su Shi closed her eyes and exhaled heavily. Her heart collapsed again: "So... you told Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu, but didn't tell me... right? Why did you lie to me? Am I... really your girlfriend?"
Before Aiyin could speak, Sushi raised her voice slightly, as if pouring out all her anger and pain. She continued to yell, "Xiaoxiang too! Crychic too! Why is all the good things leaving me?! What did I do wrong?"
Finally, he spoke out his inner thoughts in front of Aiyin. At this moment, Su Shi felt a lot more relieved, but what followed was a deeper emptiness and pain.
This was the first time Aine had seen such a crazy Su Shi. Compared to the Su Shi who asked "Why do you want to play Kasuga Shadow" after mygo's first live, it was even more terrifying.
Aine wanted to explain, but Su Shi didn't give Aine a chance. She stood up suddenly, grabbed Aine's collar with her bloody hands, and kissed her.
The violent movement caused Su Shi's teeth to knock against the corner of Aine's mouth, and a bloody smell spread in their mouths.
The pungent smell made Aine frown slightly. For a moment, her body stiffened and her brain completely shut down. She had no idea what to do.
Su Shi let go of Aine and then pushed her onto the bed.
Aiyin seemed to be startled by Su Shi's sudden action. She sat on the bed and looked at Su Shi timidly.
pat.
A tear fell to the floor, sparkling in the light from the window.
As if she was tired, Su Shi propped herself up on the bed, blood staining the sheets. She lowered her head and sat up, her voice sounding exhausted: "Am I... important to you?"
Aiyin reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, nodded, and gave Su Shi a positive answer: "Soyorin is very important to me."
"Is that so... very important..." Su Shi muttered to herself. It turned out that it was just very important, not the most important... well, after all, Xiaoxiang was her first girlfriend...
"Then... when did Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu know that you have ALS?"
Aine lowered her head and spoke softly, "When I first transferred to Haneda, I had a heart-to-heart with Sakki... I knew about her situation, and she knew about mine, and we agreed not to tell anyone else... As for Mumu, I don't know how she got my medical records..."
Listening to Aiyin's explanation, Sushi sighed: "So... you weren't familiar with Xiaoxiang at that time... right?"
Seeing Aine nod, Sushi couldn't help but laugh, a hint of bitterness in her laughter: "So... based on your situation, you'd rather tell a stranger than tell me?"
“No, soyorin… I…” Aine’s voice was trembling, her eyes filled with guilt.
"No? Then you told Xiaoxiang, right? Xiaomu also knew, right? They are all your girlfriends, so what about me? Then why didn't you tell me!" Su Shi became more and more excited as he spoke, and shouted the last sentence again.
Aine wiped the tears from her eyes: "I... because Soyorin is too delicate, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it if I tell you..."
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to accept it if you tell me?" Su Shi clenched her hands. "Then why did you tell me again today?"
"Because I remember how good Soyorin was to me... I don't want to lie to you anymore... If I don't tell you now, I'm afraid you'll be even more sad later."
Seeing Aine lowering her head, Su Shi's eyes were filled with suspicion: "Chihaya Aine, are you telling the truth? I can't tell whether what you said is true or false now...Are you really not saying this because you have told too many lies and it's hard to justify it?"
“No… Soyorin…” Aine gently grabbed Sushi’s shoulders, “Soyorin, please believe me… I really didn’t lie to you.”
Listening to Aiyin's sobs, Su Shi finally didn't say "I don't believe it" in her heart: "If I don't find out that you are lying, how long are you going to keep it from me?"
“I…” Aiyin’s fingers trembled slightly as she looked at Su Shi’s calm eyes.
How should I tell Soyorin... When I agreed to confess my feelings to her, I was thinking about how to cut off my relationship after the disease broke out...
Seeing that Aiyin remained silent, Sushi seemed to have an answer in her heart. She gently pushed Aiyin's hand away from her shoulder and slowly reached under the pillow: "You...are you going to follow Xiaoxiang's example and cut ties with me like before at Asuka Mountain?"
Hearing this, Aiyin's pupils shrank and she raised her head suddenly with an expression of disbelief. She had not expected that Su Shi could actually guess it.
Seeing Aine's reaction, Su Shi couldn't help but sneer: "Aine-chan, you're still not being well behaved."
“Soyorin… I’m sorry… I… I shouldn’t have thought like that…” Aine felt scared by Soyo’s look.
"Hehe, I've been doing my best to consider Aine-chan, but you still want to leave me... Did you think it was funny to see me kneeling and begging?" Su Shi licked her lips with her tongue, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "But... this time I won't be helpless like I was with Xiaoxiang."
As she spoke, Sushi moved closer to Aine, and her two hands slid down Aine's arms.
