Aragaki Ai didn't think it was a big deal, just a joke. She didn't know where she didn't have enough money. Could it be that Xiangzi's father came to find her?

Xiangzi added, "Don't worry, it won't affect Mujica's rehearsals and performances."

"Yeah." Aragaki Ai chose to believe her.

Before the end of this summer vacation, I will definitely perform on stage and release an album, which will earn me a lot of money. Then Xiaoxiang won’t have to work anymore.

From this angle, he could see the rental house, so it was time for him to go back.

His footsteps slowly stopped. Xiangzi took one step further than him before he realized that he had stopped.

The girl turned around, the breeze blew her long hair, her fingers stroked her hair, and the edge of her skirt swayed.

The moonlight, the breeze, and her.

The three seem to form an unusually harmonious picture, and the atmosphere of sadness and sorrow overflows like a tide.

The weak Xiaoxiang finally smiled, with the corners of his mouth raised, outlining a beautiful arc.

"How far have you and Xiaomu gotten?"

"We held hands and hugged each other two or three times." Aragaki Ai answered truthfully.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" She couldn't believe it. She had been using Mu's body for so long, and now that they were together, the progress was so slow.

The young man once again showed his signature handsome smile, "I just lied to you. In fact, Mu's mother asked me to change my last name to Ruoye. She also said that she would hand over the office to me in the future. She wanted me to get engaged tomorrow and married the day after tomorrow. Then she could retire. The Ruoye family will be mine from now on."

"You're just talking nonsense." Xiangzi's smile became real. Perhaps this serious nonsense would remind her of the time when she was looking for Aragaki Ai in the Moon Forest.

"Of course it's nonsense." He laughed.

"Haven't you confessed yet?" She asked nonchalantly, pretending nothing had happened.

"No, there's no chance."

Ai Aragaki thought about it and thought there would be a chance, but not only was Wakaba Mutsu busier, he was also being arranged around by Minami Mori. Fortunately, the salary was not low and he had a free apartment to live in.

After hearing what he said, the girl felt a little relieved, but then she felt deeply guilty for having such thoughts.

"You like Mu, right?"

"Well... I think it's probably..." Aragaki Ai said, but then felt that the answer was too vague, so she added.

"I like it."

"Don't let Mu wait too long." She held the thin metal chain of the lady's bag tightly and forced a smile.

"Well, go back quickly."

Aragaki Ai glanced at the sky and said, "I'm going to take the train back too."

"Good night."

"Good night......"

Before he could finish, the girl climbed up the iron ladder outside the rental house with heavy and quick steps, her heels making crisp clattering sounds.

She unlocked the door, grabbed the edge with her fingers, closed it quickly, leaned her back against the iron door, and slid down little by little. The chill penetrated through her skin into her bones, and entered her body little by little through her fingertips.

It seemed that as long as she helped Mu, was with him, and paid back the 5 million yen, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

It’s like finding a goal for yourself so that you have the motivation to keep going.

Xiangzi felt his knees touching the ground, raised his head slightly, pursed his lips together and pushed them upwards, his eyebrows knitted together, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Her phone seemed to be vibrating. She turned it on and found that it was the small group she had just created, and the message was from Chu Hua.

"Sure, as long as I can help Xiangzi."

Volume 1: Chapter 102 Birthday

Another breeze blew, and Aragaki Ai looked in the direction where Xiangzi disappeared. Her hair seemed to have grown a little longer, covering her eyes.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

I jogged all the way to the station, the wind blowing in my face made me feel cool. I took the tram and then ran back home.

The next day, after finishing his morning run, he went home, took a shower, and then took his schoolbag and went out.

The moment the elevator opened, a girl with long flaxen hair was standing in the middle, carrying a schoolbag. She seemed to be thinking about something, and was slightly dazed before giving up her seat.

Ai Aragaki walked into the elevator and stood on the other side. She felt that she might have gone to school too early. She might be planning to block Xiao Mu's way.

He didn't say anything, thinking about what he had to do today. Only part of the work in the evening could be left idle, and more things required him to communicate by himself. He also had to practice the piano, so he would go find Mu while practicing the piano.

The elevator stopped and he left first, without any hesitation.

Looking at the boy's back, Su Shi's eyebrows sank, without thinking much.

After she arrived at the Moon Forest, she greeted everyone she knew and waited for the light green figure while saying hello.

"Mu, how are you?"

“…Greetings.”

Xiao Mutou's lips parted slightly and she tilted her head slightly. Su Shi walked into the school side by side with her.

It is not uncommon to see two people together. Some girls around look at Su Shi with envy. Recently, some people have noticed that Mu, who has a tougher attitude and a more handsome personality, seems to appear less and less.

Su Shi said with a very gentle smile, "Mu, are you free next Monday?"

"Huh? I have piano lessons."

Mu's piano lessons have been fixed to every day, basically one and a half hours every day, followed by four hours of self-practice.

Only before the mujica rehearsal would she take time to practice guitar to ensure that the rehearsal goes smoothly.

"Really?" Su Shi was a little depressed, but still put on a smile and carried his schoolbag.

"It's my birthday that day, and I want to invite everyone to come to my house together."

"........"

Xiao Mu stopped and looked at Su Shi beside him. The girl with long flaxen hair seemed to have a little depressed smile, and her eyes were very clear.

"Piano lessons...end at five."

"Huh?!" Su Shi didn't react for a moment, thinking it was just a try.

She took a step forward, her tone firm, "I'll be waiting for you on Monday night."

"Yeah." Mu nodded.

"Okay." Su Shi was a little happy, and anyone could see how joyful the smile on his face was.

After they separated harmoniously, some people gathered around her and were a little envious after listening to what she said.

Ever since Mu's Dream of Love became popular, it became known to everyone in the school.

She smiled and returned to the classroom with her classmates, thinking about the next plan.

During lunch break, in the garden.

The wind was getting hotter and hotter. Su Shi watched Mu watering the cucumbers and holding his lunch.

"Want to come together?"

"Ah."

Even though Mu has Ai Aragaki, she has not yet had a falling out with Xiangzi, and everyone in crychic is still one of her few friends.

Su Shi sat down with her and talked about recent events. Mu An ate vegetables quietly, nodding from time to time.

As lunch was coming to an end, she naturally turned the topic to next Monday.

"I'll call Deng and Lixi. Is Muhe Xiangzi in touch? Can you invite her for me?"

“.......”Mu was stunned.

Xiangzi told her not to tell anyone about her affairs, and Ai also told her not to tell anyone else.

She was stunned and opened her mouth.

Seeing her reaction, Su Shi already had the answer in his mind. Xiangzi, who had cut off contact with everyone, now had peace and communication with everyone.

She looked a little lost, packed up her lunch box, and asked softly.

"Xiao Mu, is there nothing you can do?"

“.......” She didn’t respond.

"I know Mu wouldn't lie." Su Shi lowered her head and grabbed her wrist. "I think Saki and we should still be friends. I just hope you can tell her that it's okay to come or not."

“........”Mu lowered his head.

If only love were here, she wanted to send a message to love and let love deal with the world.

She remembered that her cell phone was in her schoolbag and she had no way to send a message to Ai.

Su Shi paused slightly, without pressing, and picked up the packed things with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, let's go back."

"......" Mu Ye packed up his things and went back to the classroom with her. She looked at the dialog box on her mobile phone and finally decided to talk to him about this when Ai came over in the evening.

Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. After school, Aragaki Ai took the tram to the office to start work.

The recording of the first song has been completed and promotion can begin. Aragaki Ai has an idea, but she doesn’t know if it can be realized, so she still needs to contact the publicity department.

He explained his needs, which were to create hype and use a song drawing instead of an MV.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Aragaki Ai doesn’t know much about publicity, so after communicating with the other party, she has confirmed that she will leave it to them.

There should be no problem.

Ai Aragaki went to the art department again to check on Qu Hui's progress and started working.

It was not until Mu's piano lesson ended and the female pianist came to see him that he stopped working for a short time and found a piano room to practice.

Only after seeing the teacher off did he have time to look for Mu.

Her vision went blank, and when she came to her senses, she found herself in the basement. Aragaki Ai looked at the music score in front of her, and it turned out to be Beethoven's "Farewell", or it would be more appropriate to say "Farewell".

He particularly liked this piece of music, so he practiced it a lot, especially the reunion in the last movement.

Unfortunately, the details have not been polished very smoothly, and I just played a piece casually.

There was something not quite right about the emotion. He found it difficult to grasp the feeling of separation.

After playing for a while, I prepared to take a break.

"Love, I prepared a cake." Little Mutou's voice was calm.

"Well, thank you Mu." He went upstairs, ordered cake and black tea, and sat on the sofa.

"Love, soyo came to see me today."

Mu's soft words reminded Ai Aragaki of what happened to her this morning with Soyo, and she really went to block Mu.

"Morning?"

"Yeah." Mu stammered as he recounted the story, pausing several times as if he was recalling something.

He was used to Mu's speaking speed, so he scooped up the cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth slowly.

After Mu finished speaking, Aragaki Ai had a general idea in her mind. First, Su Shi must know that Mu and Xiangzi were still in contact. Second, she seemed to have guessed the difference between him and Mu.

"Since you've agreed, go ahead. I'll handle Xiangzi's situation. Don't worry about what Su Shi says. Just keep silent."

It is too difficult to make Xiaomu lie, and Aragaki Ai doesn't want her to be a messenger, otherwise she will be bullied by both sides.

He didn't even plan to tell Xiangzi.
