Classic soul swap, but a musical

"...Why are you here?"

"Classes are too boring." Aragaki Ai said casually, stood up and stood in front of the bookshelf. All the books were books he had read. Many of the books were moved in different positions, which showed that Xiangzi must have read some of them.

"No, how can I just stop talking just because I'm bored..." Xiangzi said halfway.

Aragaki smiled and didn't continue the topic. He flipped through a few books that had been moved and found that Xiangzi was reading romance novels and some were light novels.

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

As he turned on his phone, he asked Xiangzi, "How did things go with Deng yesterday?"

"I just walked around for a while and then went back." Her voice was calm.

"Hmm? How do you feel?" He looked at the Line message on his phone and found that Chu Hua had invited her out again, but the format was more subtle. They were in a small group of three people, saying that they wanted to discuss the lyrics.

The time is after school.

"Do you want to agree?" Aragaki Ai asked Xiangzi again, her finger hovering above the screen.

"Are you going?" Xiangzi asked back.

"Let's go. I'm free anyway." He had nothing to do after school. He had already made appointments with the recording studio and the sound engineer, and all work was progressing steadily.

"Then...just agree." Xiangzi's voice was still full of hesitation, and he was just discussing the lyrics.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is this considered work? Can I work in the office?"

"Well, of course." He nodded, replied directly to Chu Hua, and arranged to meet at the office.

There will be nothing to worry about in the following period of time.

I finally had some free time, so I changed my shoes and went out to buy a new book.

There are no supporting facilities near the rental house, not even a convenience store, let alone a bookstore.

Normally he would jog over, but Xiangzi's body couldn't support it, so there was no need to be so anxious.

When I got to the bookstore, I selected a few books, picked out one, paid, and went to the cafe next door.

Xiangzi kept watching and only asked him his questions when he was paying the bill.

“Why did you choose this one?”

"Because I can read it, it's quite interesting and can kill time." He held the book, ordered a glass of lemonade, and chose a seat by the window, which used to be his favorite place.

Aragaki Ai's answer was beyond her expectations. It was not for any meaning, nor was it for the purpose of finding anything. It was just fun and could pass the time.

She was stunned for a second, speechless.

Sitting by the window in the cafe, the girl's long light blue hair shines in the sun, and she holds a book in her hand, matching her temperament with white moonlight.

Passersby who saw her would steal a few glances, slow down their pace, and watch her become part of the scenery.

The boss was an old lady, probably in her sixties or seventies. When she saw the girl sitting there, she ordered a glass of lemonade and took a book.

She took the lemonade and placed it on the table. "You...are still a student, right? Why aren't you going to school? Did something happen to you?"

"......" Aragaki Ai knew her and replied with a smile, "It's not that I'm not going to school, I'm transferring schools. If there's a little problem, I'll just treat it as a holiday."

"I see. I thought you were unhappy." The old woman smiled. "There used to be someone who also liked to sit here, ordering lemonade and reading, but he hasn't been here much lately."

"They must have moved, right?" Aragaki Ai guessed in an uncertain tone.

"Maybe." She smiled and left.

In the quiet coffee shop, a voice appeared in his mind, it was Xiangzi asking him.

"You know her?"

"I guess so. I used to come here often." Aragaki Ai ordered another lunch and spent more than two hours here.

Xiangzi seldom spoke to disturb him, and he read the rather interesting book with the same eyes.

The quiet and peaceful morning passed by. After finishing lunch, Xiangzi watched the time slip away little by little. He wished that the time could be extended.

After eating, Aragaki Ai closed the book and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and the sound of running water became a cover-up.

"Are you leaving?" Her tone was a little...reluctant, but she hid it well.

"Ah."

"Then, see you tonight."

"It's not really night, it's just three hours. Could it be that Xiaoxiang will be lonely when I'm not around?" He looked at his reflection in the mirror, and smiled brightly at Xiaoxiang's face.

"......Won't."

"Really? Then let's meet at the office in three hours." Aragaki Ai didn't dare to tease Xiaoxiang anymore, for fear that Xiaoxiang would be defeated.

The next second, Xiangzi found that he could control his body, and the reflection in the mirror was shrouded in an indelible gloom.

She returned to her seat and continued reading the book she had just read. Two hours later, she took the tram to the office, holding the book.

It was still quite early, so after waiting for a while, I saw the smiling boy. He looked cheerful and gave people a very warm feeling.

"You're here so early."

"Well, Chuhua hasn't come yet?" Xiangzi looked behind him, but there was no one there.

"I don't think so. Wait a moment." Aragaki Ai put her schoolbag aside and took out her cell phone to send a message to Xiao Mu.

In the past, at dinner time, Mu would always come to him with his lunch box to eat, but today that might not be the case.

On the other side, the Moon Forest.

Not long after school, Mu was walking on the road when he felt his phone vibrate. After opening it, he looked at the message on it and murmured.

"Xiangzi?"

She returned home and asked the chef to prepare dinner for four, intending for everyone to eat together.

It seems like it has been a long time since I last saw Xiangzi.

Looking back at the office, Chu Hua arrived quickly. He was also wearing a school uniform and carrying a school bag. It was obvious that he had just finished class.

When she opened the door, she saw Xiaoxiang and smiled.

"Sorry, am I too late? Are you all waiting for me?"

"No, I arrived a little early and still need to find a suitable room." Aragaki Ai said with a smile.

"Really? That's great."

Chuhua breathed a sigh of relief and sat directly next to Aragaki Ai, which made Xiangzi stunned for a moment.

Normally, the three of them discussed that since she was already sitting on the left side of Aragaki Ai, would it be better for Chuhua to choose the seat opposite her?

Volume 1: Chapter 163 Discussion

The current situation is that Aragaki Ai is sitting in the middle, with Xiangzi on the left and Chuhua on the right.

This situation is a bit unexpected.

Even if there was no seat left to Xiangzi, she should have sat opposite him, but she ended up sitting right next to him.

Chuhua only realized this after he sat down, because he had originally used the lyrics to ask Xiangzi out.

Once she noticed something was wrong, she couldn't change her position because that would only make her more conspicuous.

"Please wait for me for a moment, I'll go get two bottles of water." Aragaki Ai stood up and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Chu Hua gave him a grateful look, and the boy waved and left the room.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she moved to the left and leaned against Xiangzi.

"I've seen the lyrics and even wrote a copy. Take a look at it!"

"Yeah." Xiangzi took Chuhua's phone and looked at the lyrics on it.

After Aragaki Ai went out, Zhen went to get three bottles of water, waited for a while, and then returned to the meeting room.

He naturally sat opposite Chuhua, opened the water and handed it to each of them.

"Thank you."

A smile appeared in the blonde girl's eyes, and it was unclear what she was thanking her for.

"Nothing." Aragaki Ai sat opposite, supporting her chin with her hand, watching the two people discuss.

He had no problem with the lyrics at all, and just listened to the two of them discuss and make the changes.

However, the progress was much faster than Aragaki Ai had imagined. Four of the six songs had been written, and two were half-finished. She was able to catch up with the schedule no matter what.

There is less than a month left until the performance, so six songs is plenty of time to rehearse.

Before they knew it, an hour later, the two of them had finalized the lyrics for another song, and all that was left was the arrangement.

In fact, Xiangzi has had a lot of free time recently, and has more time to write songs and lyrics.

Probably because he had drunk some water, Xiangzi stood up and said he wanted to go to the toilet.

In the room, the blonde girl sat across from him, her chin resting on her hand.

"Aragaki, do you have time recently?"

"what happened?"

"I also want to go to the planetarium. Let's make an appointment. You come and invite Xiangzi." Her eyes fell on the young man and she sat up slightly.

Aragaki Ai hesitated for a second and nodded, "Okay, I'll go invite Xiangzi. When are you free? Is it the weekend? I also want to rehearse on Saturday night. I'll calculate the time later and we can go together."

"..."

Chu Hua opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. His eyes fell on the window beside him. The sky gradually became darker.

She nodded, "Then let's make an appointment. We'll contact each other then."

"Okay, believe me, Xiangzi will definitely go." Aragaki Ai promised her confidently.

Chuhua felt a little confused. It was so difficult for her to invite Xiangzi, but it became so easy when she came to Aragaki Ai.

She shook her head and threw the idea away. She originally wanted to help Xiaoxiang.

"By the way, did you meet the person I met last time?"

"Who? Did we meet her in the planetarium?" Aragaki Ai looked at her with a serious look in her eyes.

"Yeah." She nodded.

"........"

The boy's messy hair covers his eyes a little, giving the feeling that his vision is somewhat obscured.

But Chuhua still felt that the look was a clear warning, and his tone became a little stiff.

"Miss Triangle, it's better not to pursue it too much. Sometimes knowing something isn't necessarily a good thing."

Aragaki Ai was very worried. If Chuhua really knew about Xiangzi's affairs, Xiaoxiang might not be able to hold on any longer.

Now Xiangzi has obviously divided herself into two parts. The former is her past and her past. She wants to abandon those people, not contact them, and does not want them to know her current situation.

The remaining Xiangzi is her present self, keeping in touch with the people behind her, freely revealing her bad side, and not caring about what others think.

Whenever someone on the other side wants to explore her other side, they will be met with strong resistance from Xiangzi.

Only Aragaki and Aihemu, the two people Xiangzi couldn't let go of, knew these things.

If Chuhua knew about those things, who knows what would happen to Xiangzi.

Sanjiao Chuhua and the young man looked at each other, a little confused as to what he was thinking and whether he could really trust him.

She picked up the water bottle and moistened her lips. "Aren't you curious? Or do you actually know?"

"I'm not curious, I don't know."
