Classic soul swap, but a musical

Ms. Nagasaki looked at the three girls in front of her. Two of them were still in school uniforms. She thought they came after school. She wanted to say hello to them and chat with them, but her cell phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to take a call."

She walked into another room. Su Shi came out of the kitchen, holding a plate. She didn't see her mother. She was slightly confused, but then she figured out the reason.

The girl took out the cake again and placed it in the middle of the coffee table with a big smile, a smile that was very real and full of warmth.

Seeing Su Shi so happy, Deng started to smile too, infected by the atmosphere.

"Do you have a lighter at home? Or matches?" Li Xi took out a candle, stuck it into the cake, and asked her.

"No, that's too much trouble."

With the tips of his ten fingers pressed together, Su Shi said this, but he still took the lighter from the kitchen.

Mu was also infected by this atmosphere. Looking at the direction where Ms. Nagasaki left, he recalled his birthday and the corners of his mouth slowly calmed down.

Lixi lit the candle and prepared to turn off the lights.

Just then, Ms. Nagasaki came out of the room with an apologetic look on her face, her brows lowered, and she made brief eye contact with Su Shi.

"Sorry, Su Shi, I suddenly have some extra work that I need to go back to deal with..."

"......"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." She apologized as she walked out.

"It's okay, Mom. Work is important." Su Shi stood up and followed closely behind, followed by Ms. Nagasaki, looking quite well-behaved.

She saw her mother off with a smile.

The door is closed.

The door lock made a crisp sound.

The scene was so quiet that one could hear breathing. Su Shi turned around, still smiling.

"Everyone, keep going."

".....You?" Li Xi's finger was still on the light switch. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Gao Songdeng lowered his head like a penguin.

Mu didn't know what to say. She thought about what she would say if it was love.

But, it was totally unexpected.

She still couldn't do the same as love.

Su Shi walked back to the living room from the door with a smile on her face, but compared to her previous smile, it lacked a little sincerity.

"It's okay, we can just continue."

"Then...I'll turn off the lights." Li Xi turned his head away, but still pressed his finger.

In an instant, only the candle on the cake emitted a faint light, and the swaying flame seemed to reflect Su Shi's mood.

The four of them sat down again and looked at the dishes that had been set out but were not occupied.

After all, is the missing person her mother, or Xiangzi, who always smiles in her heart?

Su Shi still kept smiling and said to everyone: "It's okay, Mom has been very busy. It's already happy enough that she can come back to give me gifts and cakes."

"......"

The other three people present were not very good at comforting people. Gao Songdeng raised his head and looked at the smiling girl through the dim firelight.

"Want to blow out the candles?"

"Ah."

"Have you thought of a wish?" Li Xi asked.

"Think about it."

The flaxen-haired girl closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and blew out the candle.

"Happy Birthday" rang in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, there were three birthday gifts.

She smiled.

Even though all the candles were out, there was still some moonlight coming through the window, illuminating the room enough for them to see each other clearly.

"thank you all."

She did not open the gift immediately, but turned on the lights with a smile, shared the cake with everyone, and took care of Xiaomu and Gao Songdeng.

Li Xi couldn't say anything. He took the cake handed to him by Su Shi and ate it with Deng.

The atmosphere has actually eased somewhat.

Everyone shared the cake and ate the dishes made by Su Shi. Deng took a bite and subconsciously said it was delicious. Li Xi followed suit.

Mu was determined to go back and learn how to cook.

Love should like it.

she thought.

When a few people get together, the only things they can talk about are things related to the band.

But there is no Xiangzi.

This kind of atmosphere made Su Shi wonder for a moment if she was dreaming at home and crychic was not over at all.

She was really happy.

Gradually, I couldn't eat anything.

Several people cleaned the table together. Li Xi took charge of the follow-up work, and Su Shi went to make tea.

Half an hour later, I sat down at the table again.

Su Shi held the red teacup and his eyes fell on the doll lady with long light green hair, observing her recent changes.

Compared to the other two people, Mu and she were in the same school and they met often, but the changes she expected never happened.

This is also normal.

Aragaki Ai divides half of her time with Xiao Gu Du, using Mu's body just to practice the piano.

I won't go to school at all.

Especially after knowing that those classmates were particularly friendly to Mu because of his actions, Aragaki Ai was very relieved about her life in school.

Naturally, Su Shi knew nothing about it.

She smiled and asked Mu, "Mu, you don't seem too busy lately? But you seem to be very popular."

"Very busy..." Mu shook his head.

"Really? I always listen to Mu's Dream of Love." Deng followed with a very flat tone.

Li Xi's focus was clearly not on the piano, so he asked, "Speaking of which, Mu's father, is that Ruoye?"

“…Yeah.” She nodded.

Deng was stunned for a moment. Mu’s father was the somewhat scary Ruoye.

This topic didn't last long.

Su Shi gradually brought the topic back to the direction she wanted and asked Wakaba Mu softly.

"Mu, did you help convey this to me?"

"What?" She was stunned.

"I asked you to pass a message to Xiangzi, but she really refused?" Su Shi's tone was a little weak.

"......"

Mu opened his mouth and recalled the incident, as if he wanted to just leave it to him.

She shook her head. "I don't know. I should have told Xiangzi."

"Huh?" Su Shi was stunned.

According to speculation, Mu should be the only person who still has contact with Xiangzi.

Qiu Deng had just sent a message to Xiangzi, but he didn't reply and didn't come either. That means Xiangzi just doesn't want to see them.

Mu lowered his head and said nothing more.

Deng noticed something, reached out, holding the teacup, and asked her.

"Mu and Saki, are you still in touch?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"......" Hearing what she said, Deng lowered her head and looked down, thinking that Xiangzi simply didn't want to pay attention to her.

"The light..." Li Xi noticed something was wrong and immediately looked at her, "Have you contacted her?"

"Hmm.....Saki didn't reply to me."

The little animal's mood became increasingly depressed. Lixi became a little anxious and wanted to put pressure on it but didn't know how.

She shook her head and made a "tsk" sound.

Instead, Sushi began to explain, "Well, maybe Xiangzi is in trouble, right, Mu."

“…” She lowered her head and said nothing.

The atmosphere seemed to become strange. Li Xi didn't understand, but maybe he did.

If Deng wanted to quit, she might also try to contact Deng like Su Shi did.

The birthday has already been celebrated, and if I stay, the atmosphere will probably become very troublesome.

She said, "Su Shi, we're leaving first."

"Well, great. I'm really happy that you can celebrate my birthday with me."

Su Shi was not unhappy at all. She smiled and saw Li Xi and Deng off, saying goodbye to them. Only she and Xiao Mu were left in the room.

The lights were bright and the teapot was emitting steam. Mu felt that it was time for him to leave as he had to go back and practice the piano with Ai.

"Well, there must be a reason why Saki isn't coming. Do you know why?"

She turned around and smiled.

Mu shook his head, "I don't know."

"Did Mu tell Saki in person?" Su Shi returned to her original position and sat next to Mu.

"......"

Watching her out of the corner of his eye, Mu was very reserved, his body leaning inward, his hands resting on his thighs.

Probably not.

A trace of imperceptible melancholy flashed across Su Shi's face, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought Mu would help her, but he didn't.

Since I can’t contact Xiangzi for the time being, let me meet another Mu.

She played with her fingers and continued, "Xiao Mu, I want to ask you one more thing."

"Ugh?"

"Can I see the other Mu?"

The tone was very light, with a hint of tentativeness, but in Mu's ears, it was like an earthquake, and she was stunned.

She was stunned for a few seconds, completely unsure how to answer or what to say.

Su Shi reached out and wrapped his hand around the back of her hand, giving it a touch of warmth.

"Another Mu exists, right?"
