“No, it’s this girl Aine, recently…”

"Ah~ It's nothing. Since Soyorin is here, let's go to rehearsal."

Aine said as she stood up and walked out the door first.

I can only use other things like this to divert my attention, otherwise I will keep thinking about random things...

-

"Why do you sound like you don't really want to go home? You haven't been home for a while, right?"

Hachiman Kairei and Sankaku Hatsuka walked out of the school gate together. The two people with nothing to do were preparing to go home together, which was rare.

"That's right..."

Chu Hua put on his hat and sunglasses while speaking, "But back home... I don't have many friends..."

Turning to look at Chu Hua, he couldn't see his expression behind the mask and sunglasses. "What I mean is, if you go back to your hometown alone, will you feel lonely?"

"You're being too blunt,"

Chu Hua smiled and complained about Hai Ling's words, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore. "But you're right, right? Life in my hometown is boring and lonely..."

"Really."

Hachiman Hailing nodded, knowing that Chuhua wanted to say something else, and gave the topic to her.

"Actually, you know what? Hailing, my family didn't agree with me coming to Tokyo..."

He walked to the intersection, stood at the traffic light, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "I have achieved some success, so my family reluctantly agreed to let me live alone in Tokyo."

Just as they finished speaking, the red light turned green, and the two of them walked on the sidewalk following the flow of people.

"Really? That's really hard work."

I didn't go to see Chu Hua this time, pretending not to care much. "So your relationship with your family isn't that good?"

"That's right..."

Chu Hua gave a bitter smile, not really understanding why he suddenly wanted to say all this to Hai Ling, since they obviously didn't know each other very well after all.

"Well, do you want to come to my house and sit down? I'm home alone anyway..."

Chapter 328: Two similar people.

“Here, wrong again!”

After enduring countless times of messed up guitar chords, Li Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the rehearsal.

"This has happened several times, you..."

But seeing Aine's expression, he felt that it might be a bit too much to say that to her now, as he had already sensed something was wrong in the coffee shop just now. "Why don't you take a break first?"

"Um……"

He didn't react at all to the accusations against himself, but just silently put down his guitar and sat down on a seat beside him, with his back to everyone, leaving everyone at a loss.

"What's up with her?"

Su Shi, who arrived a little later, asked quietly, "Wasn't this the case before the exam?"

"I...I'm not sure..."

I was busy catching up on the knowledge I had missed with Xiangzi the past two days, and I didn’t go to the astronomy club much during lunch break. I could only look at the lights of my classmates and Aine.

“Aine…”

Deng turned around to look at Aine's back. He was so slow that he hadn't noticed before that Aine was indeed not as active as before in the past two days. Thinking about it carefully, this probably started after the weekend.

"Maybe something happened over the weekend..."

Deng gave his own guess.

"weekend?"

On the weekend... first I took Mu back home, and then the next day I went to Suye's house. What happened with Aine? Was it something at home?

Pochi also looked over at Aine, who was sitting on a chair, holding her guitar with her back to everyone, giving off a completely different vibe from before.

"Really? I just made an appointment with Rinrinko-senpai for next week's live show, and now he's in this state..."

I wanted to say more, but Aine looked really off. She hugged her chest and tapped her fingers irritably. I'm the worst at dealing with this kind of thing...

The rehearsal room fell into a strange silence for a short time. Aine, who was usually the most talkative and active, suddenly became silent, making everyone feel uncomfortable as if something was missing.

"Um……"

Sitting alone, he had originally just wanted to quietly wait for them to finish rehearsal and go home with Pochi, but now, seeing them gathered together, whispering but unable to find a solution, he looked towards Aine with even greater curiosity.

Chihaya Aine, to be honest, I'm not very familiar with her. I just know that she might be the first friend that Pochi was with, and to be honest, I'm a little envious. But even so, does it still bother me?

Although I didn't communicate with her, just looking at her back, I felt that she must be like this because of something related to Pochi.

Just like myself not long ago...

He looked at Pochi again and saw that he hadn't come to any conclusion yet, so Mu decided to take some action on his own.

It's really strange. When I encountered something like this before, I would just stand by and watch. Why now...

So, in a corner where no one else noticed, Mu stood up from the sofa, quietly walked behind Chihaya Aine, and handed her a cucumber that had been picked not long ago. "Do you want to eat it?"

"Huh...huh?"

-

"Hailing, have you always lived alone?"

I followed Hailing to an apartment building with some confusion. To be honest, this was the first time I accepted someone's invitation and visited someone else's home alone.

Although I had received invitations from other classmates and Mana before, I politely declined them all.

"Well, almost."

As he took out his key and unlocked the door, he replied, "Come in, it's okay to be casual."

Although Hailing's tone was no different from usual, Sanjiao Chuhua could sense that she didn't want to delve into the topic of family.

Obviously, your relationship with your family isn't that good...

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled when he thought of this. Maybe he and Hailing had more in common than he thought?

"Sorry to bother you then~"

Thinking about those things made Chuhua feel a little better. The slightly cheerful tone made Hailing look back at Chuhua, and then in Hailing's slightly strange eyes, Chuhua took the lead and walked into Hailing's house.

The house is a bit plain, with no special decorations, as if the purpose of the house is simply to live in, and not to provide spiritual comfort. Even the curtains are not drawn, and the house looks cold and dim.

"Hmm...it's very much like your personality, Hailing."

"My personality?"

"Well, I can't say for sure."

Chu Hua first took off his shoes, walked to the window, and helped Hai Ling open the curtains. Only then did the summer afternoon sun shine into the room, slightly increasing the temperature.

"That's right, if it was someone else's house, I would be surprised why they didn't even open the curtains, but if it was Hailing's house, I would think it was a matter of course."

"I'm living quite comfortably for now."

Hailing shook her head, not wanting to dwell on Chuhua's comments about her home. After all, she lived alone, so she could do whatever was comfortable for her. She usually wandered around the house in her underwear, so she didn't really like to open the curtains.

"Want something to drink?"

"Hmm... water will be fine."

"Well, besides water, there's only the jelly in the refrigerator."

"Then do you still need to ask me?"

Chu Hua smiled. Although his rental house wasn't big, he had prepared some tea, coffee, and other things to entertain guests. Hai Ling seemed a little clumsy in this regard...

"Well, isn't that what they always do on TV?"

Hailing didn't feel embarrassed and turned around to pour some water for Chuhua.

"Hey, wait a minute, that milk jelly is the one that Li Xi often drinks, right?"

"That's right."

"Hmm...I want to try it, is that okay? I haven't had it yet."

"It's not impossible."

I opened the refrigerator and looked at the two flavors inside, my favorite citrus flavor and Lixi's favorite chocolate flavor.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a box and placed it in front of Chuhua, even though it had less citrus flavor.

"If you drink it for the first time, it might not be easy to suck it out."

Then he also sat on the sofa, one person's distance away from Chuhua.

"Yeah, I'll try."

I tasted the citrus flavor and it was a little more sour than I had imagined. As I slowly inhaled it, I secretly glanced at Hailing. She was just leaning on the sofa, staring blankly at the front. If she was like this even here, it was not difficult to imagine what she was like when she was alone at home.

"Hey, Hailing, you're not just sitting here and daydreaming at home, are you?"

"Well, that's about right."

Without even turning around, he casually replied, "Also, why are you starting to get used to not using honorifics? It sounds weird."

"Because I think Hailing and I are already friends."

"Really……"

He turned to look at Chuhua, then turned back and continued to stare blankly.

"So, are you really planning on just sitting here all summer long and not going to see Li Xi? She invited you."

"Her? She must be busy with Mygo, and..."

Something about Pochi and the lights in her band, "Never mind, it's nothing."

"Just because Li Xi likes someone else, Hai Ling, you're just sitting here in a daze?"

Chu Hua took two more sips of the milk jelly and seemed to better understand the sourness brought by the citrus flavor. "Pochi...isn't he also the guitarist of our AveMujica?"

"What do you mean?"

"In some ways, we're really alike, don't you think? Hailing-san?"

Chapter 329: As long as you are happy.

"Can...can I ask why...it's cucumber?"

I took the cucumber from Mu's hand inexplicably. Although I was not particularly familiar with Mu, I had to say that her green hair matched the cucumber in some ways.

But... there's no need to actually take out a cucumber...

"Cucumbers are delicious and can make you feel better."

"Uh……"

Is this...trying to comfort me?

But... cucumbers and stuff...

He tilted his head slightly and secretly glanced at the people not far away from Mu's side. After a quick glance, he knew that they were all looking at him, and immediately hid behind Mu again.

He looked up at Mu's expression as he stood in front of him, or rather, he had no expression at all, as he looked at him coldly.

Is this really a way to comfort people... Chihaya Aine couldn't help but think so, but to be honest, the depression in her heart did ease a little, "Then... Then I'll go home and let my mother..."

"Eat it raw, it's fine."

"Uh...this..."

A drop of cold sweat trickled down his face. How come Mu, who usually didn't talk much, became so imposing today? Was there something wrong?

Besides, eating cucumbers raw... I don't usually have this habit. My family usually stir-fries cucumbers or mixes them into salads, but I don't eat them raw like this...
