No matter what the little penguin wants to do, he will subconsciously take action at the first moment.

"Aine, you probably have something to say to me and Deng." Sakuragawa Aki said softly, looking at the girl beside him.

"Well...I, there are things I want to tell you."

Chihaya Aine whispered, then took a deep breath.

She glanced at the two people's gently holding hands, feeling the warm and clear touch. Her slender fingers moved slightly, and then slowly let go.

Even a popular girl like Aine-chan has a delicate girlish heart in her nature, and she would feel very shy when holding hands with the opposite sex in front of her friends.

...What if Deng-chan misunderstands that Qiu-Qiu and I are dating?

Sakuragawa Aki naturally knew the pink-haired cat's personality, and didn't have any unnatural reaction. He obeyed Aine-chan and gently let go of her hand.

The feeling of being wrapped by that big hand disappeared, and the warm feeling gradually faded away. Chihaya Aine pursed her lips, and a feeling of emptiness quietly emerged in her heart.

I'm so sad

No, there are more important things to do now... It’s not the time to think about those things yet!

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath, and then spoke to Sakuragawa Aki beside her with a slightly firm tone.

"Come on, let's... go to the light."

The little penguin was still staring at the square glass in front of him, watching the group of black-footed penguins swimming and playing, his attention completely attracted.

In fact, the reason why Takamatsu Deng brought Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine to the aquarium was because she knew very well that Aine was injured and wanted to bring her here to relax.

For little penguins, quietly admiring marine life at an aquarium is a form of extreme relaxation. Just like going to a planetarium to gaze at the stars, these are places little penguins visit when they want to relax.

She wanted to share this kind of place with the injured Aiyin, wanted to give her company and soothe her wounded heart.

This is the best way this introverted girl who is not good at expressing herself could think of to comfort her friend.

Sakuragawa Aki came to her side and looked at the little penguin who was still immersed in his own world and was unaware.

By the way, as a senior solo pusher, it seems that Li Xi has never been to the aquarium with the little penguin. The same is true at home. Teacher Daxiang and Aine have also been to the little penguin's bedroom...

Brother Lixi, you really lost (laughs).

What kind of method is this for cultivating a loser heroine?

For Ai Ne-chan, who is good at observing people's expressions, smart and sensitive, she can naturally understand the little penguin's hard work and intentions.

Chihaya Aine stood on the other side of Takamatsu Touma, looking at the dazed expression on the face of the short-haired gray-haired girl, her cherry lips slightly raised, revealing a slightly gentle smile.

Then, the smile gradually faded until it disappeared.

A serious look appeared on the girl's face, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed.

She was ready to reveal her past and face the experience she wanted to cut off and escape from.

In front of her most important friend.

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "Um, Deng, Qiu, I have something... I want to tell you."

…………

"...Actually, everything Rikki said before was right."

Chihaya Aine leaned against the transparent glass and spoke with her head slightly lowered. Sakuragawa Aki and Takamatsu Touma stood in front of her, listening to her story in silence.

"Wasn't it strange when I transferred here before?"

The girl lowered her light grey eyes and sighed softly.

"It wasn't the right time for him to enroll, but he transferred here at that time."

Aine-chan's enrollment time was indeed not in the normal enrollment period of March and September, which means that she did not complete a normal semester before transferring to another school.

Usually, only students who dropped out of school due to "special circumstances" would transfer here at such a strange time.

"Actually...I went to study abroad in the UK."

The pink-haired girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and her expression became a little depressed, as if she was thinking about her past experiences.

"But I can't keep up with others at all, whether in academics or language..."

"So, I couldn't fit in with the class, couldn't make friends with anyone, and finally... I ran away in shame."

Chapter 111 The Significance of 'Lost Sons'

"Qiuqiu, the person I just met is actually my junior high school friend. Now they know that I failed in my study abroad."

Aine-chan tilted her head back slightly, looking at the schools of silver fish swimming quickly overhead.

"Now, all my former classmates will definitely know about my failed study abroad experience. I boasted to them back then, but now I can only flee back in disgrace..."

The pink-haired girl paused and looked at the two people in front of her.

Her eyes swept across the little penguin whose hands were slightly clenched, as if he was suppressing some emotion, and came to Sakuragawa Aki's silent and handsome face.

"Now it seems that my life is always an escape, Qiuqiu."

Aine let out a slightly sad smile.

"I had originally planned to flee England and return to Japan to start a new life, but now it seems... whether it's the past or the present, my life is over. It's over..."

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

For Aine-chan, the time from the past to high school is her entire life. Apart from her ignorant childhood, junior high school and high school naturally occupy the largest proportion of her life now.

The image he had worked so hard to build was completely shattered in front of his former friends. Now, everything he did after joining the band was denied by Li Xi, and he realized that he was still constantly escaping.

This double blow naturally made Aine start to have negative thoughts, thinking that her 'life' was over.

The meaning of the SAN

Of course, even if she loses the 'past' and 'present', the girl still has the 'future'.

Like she once said.

Even if you fail, you have to try harder next time.

“…It’s not over yet!”

At this moment, the little penguin, who had been pursing his lips tightly, suddenly spoke loudly.

She ignored the surprised looks on Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine's faces, and a sad expression as if she was shattered appeared on her face.

“Before, Aine told me that even if I fail, I just need to keep working hard next time…”

“…So, Aine-chan, it’s not over yet!”

Gao Songdeng opened his mouth, but found that he could not express what was in his heart smoothly.

For the introverted little penguin, singing is the only effective way for her to express her inner thoughts. She cannot describe the emotions in her heart well through words.

She didn't want Chihaya Aine to deny herself.

Because in Takamatsu Deng's eyes, Aine-chan is the person who has always helped her gently and is her most precious friend. How could she think that the life of such a friend is worthless?

Amber eyes revealed a hint of determination as he looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him.

Then the little penguin turned around and ran out.

"Eh……?"

Chihaya Aine reached out her hand belatedly, but could only watch the gray-haired girl's back slowly disappear into the distance.

"Well, don't worry. Deng should be looking for a pen and paper to write down the 'lyrics'."

Sakuragawa Aki patted her shoulder gently and nodded to her.

"Let's go, let's follow."

"Qiuqiu..." Chihaya Aine hesitated for a moment, then slowly caught up with him and whispered, "Qiuqiu, what do you think of me now?"

It was different from the time when Sakuragawa Aki comforted her before.

This time, she told him everything about herself, including the past that she wanted to cover up. Naturally, she wanted to hear his true thoughts about her.

"I?"

Sakuragawa Aki blinked slightly, looked at the pink-haired girl beside him, thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm... I think you and Xiao Deng are really alike. No wonder you became friends so quickly."

"Eh? Me and Deng-chan?"

Seeing the girl's puzzled expression, Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly and said.

"What Deng just said were actually the words you used to comfort her in the Astronomy Department. It seems she has always remembered them well."

"Remember the state of the lights when we first met?"

A trace of reminiscence flashed across Sakuragawa Aki's face.

"That's actually when the light is 'escaping'."

The disbandment of Crychic once hurt the little penguin very much, so she began to avoid everything, just like a little hermit crab curled up in its shell, protecting herself.

However, those gentle words that Aine had spoken to her at the time inadvertently touched the little penguin's heart, allowing her to finally muster up the courage to move on.

Chihaya Aine's words gave the little penguin courage and strength when she was most uneasy and confused.

That's why the little penguin said those words to Aine-chan at this moment, because these were the most profound words that were engraved in her mind!

When Aine gave up on herself, these were the words that the little penguin subconsciously thought of.

These words inspired me in the past, and now, they will surely give strength to Aine-chan!

The little penguin's inner thoughts are so simple and pure, and that sincere emotion can naturally be clearly felt by Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine.

"In fact, many times, seemingly beautiful 'righteous arguments' are meaningless. People are often moved only by those who are equally sincere emotions."

Sakuragawa Aki smiled lightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Deng-chan..."

Chihaya Aine pursed her lips, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed.

The two slowly followed the little penguin and came to the outdoor observation deck.

The stars in the sky cast their light, and before we knew it, it was already night.

The little penguin naturally had very poor physical strength, so it was not difficult for the two to follow behind her. When they arrived beside her, the girl had already written something on the desk. She turned around and handed a piece of paper to Chihaya Aine.

"……Eh?"

Chihaya Aine took the paper and looked at it with some confusion.

There were some messy words written on it, such as "move forward", "no escape", "retreat", "it's okay to escape", and "mygo" at the bottom.

It looked like the 'poems' that the little penguin had always written, straightforward yet a bit explicit.

The words are deeply engraved on the paper, as if the person who wrote these words held the pen very tightly, allowing people to see the girl's strong and passionate emotions and the true content she wants to express.

Communication is still very difficult for the little penguin now, so the girl is better at using "poems" and "singing" to express her feelings than speaking words.

“…Aine-chan, you’re always moving forward. Even if you encounter a dead end, you’ll try your best to find the exit and keep moving forward.”

Takamatsu Deng clenched his hands tightly, looked into Chihaya Aine's eyes with his amber eyes, and spoke with some hesitation.

"... and took me along to form a band, which made me realize that there's more to come."

"So, me too... me too."

The girl took a deep breath and spoke in a firm tone.

“Even if you get lost, you must move forward!”

Chapter 112: Aren't the three of them holding hands elementary school students?

Takamatsu Deng can see Chihaya Aine's persistence and hard work, and knows that no matter what she faces, she can move forward bravely.
