Su Shi's words were like a wisp of warm wind, blowing into Aine's heart. Her nose felt sore, and she pecked Su Shi's red lips lightly: "Thank you, Soyorin."

"Nothing." Su Shi shook his head, then took out a key from under the pillow, "Turn around, I'll open it for you."

"Eh?" Aine was a little surprised by Su Shi's actions.

Looking at Aiyin's dazed look, Su Shi was a little confused: "What's wrong? Do you want to be handcuffed forever?"

“Ah, no, no.” Aine turned around, and with a click, the handcuffs on her hands fell off. She stretched her stiff arms and asked in confusion, “Why did Soyorin suddenly open them for me?”

"I'll put the key under the pillow. If you want to escape, the handcuffs should have been opened." Su Shi shook the key in his hand.

"Then...you put the key here, aren't you afraid that I'll really run away?"

Aiyin's words made Su Shi laugh: "If you really dare to open it and try to run, I've already locked the bedroom door. If you come back and find the handcuffs are off, you should know the consequences, right?"

As she spoke, Su Shi held Aine's shoulders, moved her face closer, opened her mouth and gently bit Aine's earlobe.

The warmth and itchiness from her earlobe made Aiyin whimper. She gently pushed Su Shi away, her face flushed. “I know, I won’t run away.”

Aiyin leaned in Sushi's arms: "I will accompany Soyorin well... and apologize..."

"It's better. Jiuqi Lu Jiuy37i San takes this." Su Shi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on Li Xi's profile picture.

[Su Shi: Li Xi, are you free this afternoon?]

Not long after, the message sent by Su Shi became read.

[Lixi: Yes, what’s wrong?]

[Su Shi: Let me tell you something.]

[Lixi: Can't I just talk on the phone? Or call?]

[Su Shi: It’s hard to explain that way, let’s wait until the afternoon.]

"Have you told Rikki?"

Aine has given up resisting. To her, resisting Su Shi any further is no different from seeking death. Moreover, after thinking about it, Aine feels that what Su Shi said does make sense.

"I said it." Su Shi nodded. She placed her hand on Ai Yin's hair and stroked it gently. "I'll go make you some food. After you finish the IV, I'll go find Li Xi."

"Well... Soyorin, if I don't go to rehearsal, what about the live afterwards? That day... happens to be Rikki's birthday... I don't think she'll want to cancel it."

Hearing this, Su Shi fell into deep thought. She didn't expect that Ain would remember so clearly that it was Riki's birthday. However, what Ain said should be right. With Riki's personality, she would not want to cancel it.

Aine continued to ask, "Then...how about finding another guitarist?"

Su Shi asked back, "But given Li Xi's personality...she already approved of you, so why would she suddenly accept another guitarist she doesn't know?"

"But... Rikki knows Mumu, and I've also guest-starred in Mujica's performances, so Rikki knows about it. Isn't this perfect? ​​We don't have to cancel the live..."

"Xiao Mu?" Su Shi was startled, her eyes darkening slightly. "Didn't she say that she felt her playing was too bad and she couldn't make the guitar sing... Will she... come?"

Aiyin smiled slightly and gave Su Shi a thumbs up: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

……

In the afternoon, in an unknown coffee shop.

Li Xi pushed the door open and walked in. The quiet atmosphere made her slightly furrowed brows relax a little. She glanced around the cafe, confirmed Su Shi's location and walked over. "Su Shi, what exactly do you want me to talk about here?"

"Aine-chan won't be able to rehearse from now on, including participating in live performances." Su Shi took a sip of black tea.

"Huh?" Li Xi sat across from Su Shi, looking puzzled. "Why? What happened to her?"

Su Shi placed the teacup on the table, and the bottom of the cup collided with the plate, making a sound. "Remember when her fingers were stiff and she couldn't keep up with our pace?"

Li Xi nodded, picked up the spoon with one hand, and took a sip of the coffee that Su Shi had ordered for him in front of him: "Remember, didn't she say it was a sequelae of a fracture?"

"She's lying to us." Su Shi's eyes darkened slightly, filled with endless sorrow. "That's not a fracture, that's ALS."

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The spoon in Lixi's hand fell onto the plate, making a clanging sound. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the coffee shop.

"Su Shi, what did you say?" Li Xi's voice changed. "Don't joke like that. How is it possible? She's so annoying... so young, how could she possibly have..."

"Lixi, I know you can't accept it, and neither can I." Su Shi tried her best to calm herself down, "But this is the truth."

"But...she..." Li Xi paused, thinking back to the past, including when she chased him in Hanasaki River...

Oh... so that's how it is, ALS...

Instantly, a wave of self-blame spread through Li Xi's heart, quickly filling her entire being. "That guy clearly has this disease... yet he can still play such a perfect piece... Really, why does he have to be so stubborn?! Couldn't he have told us earlier?"

"Lixi..."

"I've always been so harsh... so strict with her..." Li Xi held his forehead with one hand, "It's really bad."

After a moment of silence, Sushi said, "Aine-chan told me that the day of the live was your birthday."

Li Xi didn't say anything.

"She wanted to come and play guitar, but I stopped her."

Li Xi nodded in agreement with Su Shi's approach: "That would be best. It's just a live performance."

"She told me to find other guitarists to continue the live." Su Shi raised her eyes and looked at Li Xi.

"Huh?" Li Xi crossed her arms, frowning slightly. She shook her head gently, "What is that girl thinking? Is the most urgent thing to do the live? She is obviously more important than the live."

"Lixi..."

Chapter 186 Call Xiangzi out

"I really don't know what's going on in that guy's head." Li Xi was visibly angry. She took a sip of the coffee in front of her. "Is that guy the American economy of the 1970s?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Li Xi said. She quickly said, "Li Xi, calm down. Don't be so excited."

"By the way, does anyone know that the guy is sick?"

Su Shi did not hide it: "Besides the two of us, Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu also know."

"Xiangzi and Mu also know about this?" Li Xi blinked, as if suddenly realizing something. "Then why did Xiangzi let that guy go to Mujica's Fukuoka concert? And why didn't Mu stop Xiangzi?"

Li Xi became more and more excited as she spoke. She stood up and the quiet coffee shop was now filled with excitement.

The other guests turned their eyes to the two of them. Seeing this, Su Shi grabbed Li Xi's hand, apologized to the other guests, and pulled Li Xi out of the cafe.

Arriving at an empty park, Su Shi looked at Li Xi helplessly: "Li Xi, don't get too excited, be quiet for a while."

"Why do you think I can remain calm when such a big thing happens suddenly?" Li Xi's brows were furrowed, and her shaking legs reflected her inner restlessness.

"Xiao Mu didn't stop Xiao Xiang because she had a split personality at the time. So, when Aine-chan went on stage, it was not only for Mujica, but also for Xiao Mu."

The light words made a question mark appear in Li Xi's head: "Huh?"

"No...ah?" The next moment, Li Xi grabbed Su Shi's arm, "What are these two doing? One has ALS, the other has split personality? What about her..."

No, I'm just running an ordinary band, why would I encounter such a thing?

"Lixi, it's okay. Xiaomu is fine now. Aiyin has found Xiaomu." At this point, Sushi lowered her head, "But I don't understand why Xiaoxiang still let Aiyin come to our rehearsal."

"It's very simple. Just call her out and ask her face to face."

After saying that, Li Xi took out his cell phone...

At Ruoye's house, Mu was lying quietly on the bed, with the children's book next to her.

Light shone through the window onto the bed, following her limbs and crawling towards her face.

Unlike the warm sunshine, Mu's face was expressionless.

After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Mu gently turned over and placed a hand on the headrest next to him: "Mortis...are you awake?"

The next moment, the headrest next to Mu gradually lost its square appearance and turned into a doll-like figure of Metis.

"Mortis..." Mu gently stroked Mortis's body, "Didn't you say you wanted to apologize to Aine-chan, Xiangzi, and Suye... Then go there in person."

"Why do you want to sleep now?" Mu curled up slightly, "Bad guy."

"You haven't spoken to me in this period of time..."

Mu held Metis in his arms, "You know, Aine-chan said that you and I together form Wakaba Mu... and Aine-chan is no longer mad at you."

Every word echoed in the room, but Metis was still.

"Mortis... I missed you... I shouldn't have said those angry words at that time... I'm sorry. You are the person I am most familiar with, and you have always been."

As Mu finished speaking, the ringing of a phone broke the silence in the room. She raised her head and took the phone on the table: "Aine-chan?"

After confirming it was Aine calling, Mu quickly clicked to answer the call: "Hello, Aine-chan, what's going on?"

"Mumu, Soyorin knows about my ALS... If nothing unexpected happens, Rikki should know about it too."

Aiyin's voice came through the phone, sending a feeling of helplessness into Mu's heart.

"Su Shi and Li Xi..."

“Yeah.” Aine sighed, “Soyorin just treated me terribly.”

"Indeed... you hid it from Su Shi... and you also wanted to hide it from me."

Muna's blunt words made Aine choke, and she quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Mumu, don't you already know everything now?"

"That was not something I discovered myself." Mu's voice was filled with endless resentment.

"Uh... Mumu, how did you get my medical records?"

"I asked the housekeeper to investigate all the ALS patients in all the hospitals in Tokyo."

Aine replied somewhat awkwardly, "Okay. Ahem, Mumu, let's not talk about that first. You guys are going to the Yokohama concert this week, right?"

"Yeah." Mu nodded, she turned her head, and her guitar stayed quietly in the corner.

Mu was a little absent-minded. Can I... still attend the Yokohama concert?

"Are you free next week?"

"Should be, what's wrong?" Mu sat up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and hugged Mortis tightly in his arms.

"Well... can you go to the MyGO live next week for me? Soyorin won't let me play guitar anymore, saying I should just take care of my health."

Mu lowered her head, her voice full of doubt, with a hint of timidity in between: "Aine-chan... I don't know if I can make the guitar sing again... I play... so badly, and... I haven't touched the guitar in a long time."

"Mumu is doubting himself again."

"Eh?"

Aiyin asked softly, "Do you think I play well?"

This short sentence made Mu silent.

Is Aine-chan good at playing? It seems... not very good, but... Aine-chan's playing has soul... more vivid than mine.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu replied, "Good... and bad."

"Is that so?" Aiyin chuckled and whispered to comfort Mu, "Then, Mumu, what are you afraid of?"

After a pause, Aine continued, "You said my guitar skills weren't that great, but I still dared to go on stage, and the audience was very satisfied with my performance, right?"

"Of course, if you say my guitar playing is great, then Mumu taught me how to play guitar. If I'm good enough, shouldn't you be better, right?"

Even though Aine couldn't see, Mu still shook his head slightly, "But... Aine-chan's music has soul... and life, while I... just play the guitar."

Aine on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before speaking again, "I see. It's just as I thought. Mumu is unhappy because he can't play his own voice, so he thinks his technique is not good enough, right?"

"Ah."

After receiving Mu's affirmation, Aine breathed a sigh of relief: "Then...why don't you go meet another free-spirited guitarist? Maybe she'll have the answer."

"Eh? Another casual guitarist?" The image of the little girl with heterochromia that he had met appeared in Mu's mind.

"Little Lenai."

Chapter 187 Discussion among Three People

The sun is setting.

Su Shi and Li Xi didn't know how long they waited in the park, and finally saw the blue they wanted to see at the entrance of the park.

"Sushi, Rikki!" Xiangzi came running over, panting and asking, "Why are you calling me so suddenly? Is there something urgent?"

Although he asked the question himself, Xiangzi already had a rough answer in his mind as to why the two of them suddenly called him.

Since Rikki is with Su Shi... and her tone is so anxious, it must be because of Xiao Ai's matter...

As expected, the next moment, Li Xi spoke, her tone a little annoyed: "You... know that guy has ALS, right?"
