Classic soul swap, but a musical

The light was like a curtain, separating the two people.

Seeing her like this, he straightened his back and sat up straight, having originally been leaning on the sofa in a somewhat lazy manner.

"Well, what happened?"

“.......” Xiangzi clenched his fists and pursed his lips.

After a while, she approached Aragaki Ai, sat next to him, the two of them were very close, and asked.

"That farewell song... is it for me?"

"......." Aragaki Ai was silent for a while. Why did he suddenly bring up this matter? Did something else happen that made her remember it?

While waiting for his answer, Xiangzi felt a very awkward impatience and uneasiness in his heart. He was wondering what to do if he answered yes.

The mood of that farewell song is very obvious. It is not about separation at all, but about remembrance. It is filled with his strong personal emotions, and he almost wants to write "I don't want to leave" throughout the whole song.

She hoped so, but also feared so.

This dilemma tormented her.

Not to mention, there is also the fact that Aragaki Ai did not go to Mu and went to look for other women.

If this farewell song was played for her, would she still have any reason to blame Aragaki Ai?

Was she...already sorry to Mu?

I recall that night in my mind...

In an instant, the torment in her heart became even more intense. In just a dozen seconds, it felt as if she was being roasted on fire.

My heart felt so uncomfortable, as if it was pierced from my back to my chest, as if I had been pierced by an arrow. It also felt like I hadn't slept for several days and nights, and I would die suddenly in the next second.

The air becomes sticky and seems unable to enter the lungs smoothly from the mouth and nose. Every breath requires a lot of effort to compress the air into the lungs to get enough oxygen, causing a burning pain from the throat to the trachea.

The atmosphere seemed to become particularly heavy. Aragaki Ai noticed her strangeness and thought about how to answer this question.

There was a brief pause of more than ten seconds, which seemed like a very short time, but Aragaki Ai kicked the question back to Xiangzi.

"What do you think, Saki?"

“…” She frowned.

"Do you hope that song is for you?" Aragaki Ai turned her head and looked at her.

During these ten seconds, she didn't even look at him.

When asked this question, Xiangzi was completely panicked.

After asking that question, her courage was almost exhausted. Fortunately, she locked the door. That was not to prevent love from escaping, but to stop her escape and locked her retreat.

Her expression changed visibly and she began to back away. Aragaki Ai smiled in her heart. No matter how strong she was, Saki was only fifteen years old and had not experienced so much. She was a weak little girl.

"What if I say no?" Aragaki Ai observed her expression. The corners of Xiangzi's eyes and mouth were drooping, which was different from ordinary loss. It seemed that there were other emotions mixed in.

There was almost no pause as he continued, "You can't step into the same river twice, so that Beethoven's farewell piece wasn't played for you."

"Is that so..." Xiangzi pursed his lips, and the anxiety first dissipated. The feeling of being roasted on the fire and betraying half of his body suddenly disappeared, and then he felt confused.

It seems that there is no need to ask the third question.

She felt a touch of pain again without realizing it, and it seemed as if tears were about to come out.

why.

From the beginning, he was harmonious.

She calmed herself down, but felt waves of pain in her chest.

"I see."

"But this song is also for Xiaoxiang, not for you, but for the you of the past."

Aragaki Ai put on a smile and said, "I didn't lie to you. You can't say I'm a liar."

The blue-haired girl was stunned.

Tears finally overflowed from the corners of my eyes. It seemed that I could no longer bear the discomfort I had just felt. My inner defenses were like a dam that was breached by a flood.

She covered her cheek with the back of her hand and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. The small orange light in the room served as a good protection.

I don’t know what to say.

It seemed as if all the emotions that had been accumulating for a long time were completely released at this moment.

There is a feeling that is so good.

That farewell song was indeed played for her.

But, but, doesn’t this mean that her previous weakness and the warmth she asked for from Aragaki Ai completely became an act of being sorry for Mu.

About half a minute passed, and Aragaki Ai kept giving her time. Although she didn't know why Xiaoxiang had held himself back like this again, she was able to vent after a little guidance from him, which was a good thing.

The girl with long blue hair slowly calmed down and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"That's a very cunning statement."

"Well, you don't keep calling me a liar, so this is the normal way for me to say it, right?"

Aragaki Ai smiled, and the air seemed to have cooled down a little. At least Xiangzi was not so tense anymore.

Xiangzi had other things he wanted to ask, but he always felt a little guilty and could no longer use an accusatory tone to ask on Mu's behalf about Aragaki Ai's finding other people.

So, do we want to explore from other aspects?

She took two deep breaths, suppressed all her emotions, and tentatively changed the subject.

"Have you been using Mu's body lately?"

“…always using it,” he replied.

This is not a lie, I have been using it all the time, but the frequency has become once every other day.

But in Xiangzi's ears, it sounded like a lie, as he was clearly going to look for other women's bodies.

On the surface, Xiangzi really didn't show any emotion. He became very normal and there was no sign of any special feelings.

She then asked, "Is it a hassle for you to use other people's bodies?"

"Well, the requirements are indeed quite strict."

The most Aragaki Ai can get so far is the third space, and there are only two at the moment.

Not to mention, the game objectives are random.

He looked at Xiangzi, wondering if the girl had guessed that Xiao Gu Du was related to him.

Xiangzi feels that she is no longer qualified to blame Aragaki Ai on Mu's behalf. So, will the second person he borrows be that Kaname Rakuna or Pochi?

So, do you want to ask the third question?

It seems that I can't ask.

In the end, the courage I had worked so hard to muster was completely gone with just one question.

Xiangzi lowered his head. "You...don't make Mu sad. She really cares about you being able to use her body."

"I know." Aragaki Ai nodded.

"I have one last question to ask you. Do you know Pochi? Little Pochi." Xiangzi said.

"I don't know. What's the dog's name?"

Aragaki Ai knew that she was doubting and pretended to be confused.

Volume 1: Chapter 129: Leaving

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he began to recall quickly, as if he really didn't know Pochi.

But, this guy's words cannot be trusted.

Xiangzi recalled the conversation between Congmu and Hongxia, looked at the boy next to him, and decided to investigate further.

Her condition had recovered a lot, the temperature seemed to drop, the air became very cool, and she could breathe.

That farewell song was indeed played for her.

Xiangzi felt a little relieved and a little guilty, and didn't know how to face Mu.

The cold feeling slowly erodes the body, and once there is hope, the heart becomes restless.

There are still two questions left.

But she had no reason to blame Aragaki for falling in love, nor did she have the courage to confirm his feelings.

If only time could go back to a month ago, at that moment of thinking, Xiangzi felt that he was too weak.

She reached out and touched Aragaki Ai.

Their hands touched each other, and his fingertips touched his palm, but Xiangzi still didn't have the courage to shake hands.

The air was quiet for a short while, no one spoke. It wasn't an awkward atmosphere, but a familiar and reassuring feeling.

It’s like when two people live together, they don’t interfere with each other and live in the same house.

Seeing that Xiangzi had calmed down, Aragaki Ai didn't know whether she had been completely exposed. If she had, she would have to have a good talk with Xiangzi.

As for Mu...because she was afraid that she would be sad, Aragaki Ai wanted to hide it at first, but in the end she couldn't hide it anymore.

After knowing that he went to find Xiao Gudu, Mu didn't seem to mind and didn't even ask him who the new person he borrowed was.

The two men remained in a stalemate for a while, then spoke almost at the same time and bumped into each other.

“I’m telling you…”

"I think......"

The air was silent again, and the girl with long blue hair decided to dig out the truth herself to see whether he and Xiao Gu Du had that kind of relationship.

"Aren't you going back yet? It's very late." Aragaki Ai looked at the time. It was already 10:13.

"I want to stay a little longer."

Going back once made her happy but also guilty. But overall, she wanted to go back and be with him in that small room, doing their own things.

Just like before.

But now that she was back, there was only one house, and as she lived her life, his traces were gradually disappearing.

No matter how hard you try...

She looked at the locked door, seemed to gather up a little courage, and held Aragaki Ai's hand.

The warmth transmitted from his palm reminded her of the experiences of those nights, her hair being held down, the feeling of a warmer embrace, the touch of her skin, the ability to smell his scent, and a body that looked completely different from hers, slender but surprisingly strong.

She thought that her feelings were clear as day, but she had no idea how he viewed her.

How unfair.

A look of pain appeared in the girl's eyes again, but it quickly disappeared and turned into an expressionless face.

Suddenly, she remembered another thing. The photo of her having dinner with Chu Hua appeared in front of her eyes. The girl couldn't help but kick his shoes lightly with her toes while cursing.

"fraud."

"Why are you scolding me again?"

Ai Aragaki didn't understand why she was suddenly scolded again, as she was really exposed.

He naturally pulled his hand back, opened his phone, and found that it was a Line message from Chuhua.

The screen emitted a faint light, with only one line of text on it, asking him about the time.

"Are you free on Saturday?"

"Are you okay? Come to rehearsal? I remember you have filming work in the afternoon?" Aragaki Ai's fingers tapped quickly on the screen and sent the message.

"Yeah, so there's still a little time in the evening, probably between five and seven."

Chuhua replied the moment he read it.

Ai Aragaki also wanted to change the time with Hemu to go to the amusement park and make time for the band to rehearse.
