MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"this one"

Ai Yin stroked her drink cup. Indeed, she had just agreed with Su Shi's idea, something she herself hadn't expected. Su Shi wanted to revive Crychic; she wanted to revive MyGO.

Therefore, she could understand Su Shi's feelings to some extent. She even empathized with him.

Ai Yin said softly, "Everyone has things they want to protect, right? At least, Su Shi made it clear this time."

Instead of waiting for an opportunity to kick her and Renai out like in the first playthrough.

“You’re really strange,” Lixi said.

"Ah ha ha...."

Li Xi scratched his head and said impatiently, "Even if we sit down and have a proper talk, we still can't reach any conclusions."

It doesn't mean that clearing things up will lead to mutual understanding.

It's only a possibility; even mutual understanding doesn't guarantee acceptance. Interpersonal relationships are always more complex than imagined, let alone forming a band based on that.

Lixi remained silent for a while before returning to the front desk. She still had to continue working.

However, she still asked, concerned, "What should we do?"

"you ask me?"

"If I don't ask you, who should I ask? Who was it that kept saying they wanted to team up with me and Deng? And have you finished drinking?" Li Xi snorted.

"Finished."

Lixi took away Aiyin's drink cup and started washing it.

The water flowed over the cup and her palm, and Lixi hoped it could wash away all her distracting thoughts and worries, but what was faintly reflected in the cup was still her furrowed brows.

“I want to form a band with Su Shi,” Ai Yin said softly.

Li Xi paused for a moment.

She looked up in disbelief: "Seriously? You want to join Crychic?"

"no no."

Ai Yin said seriously, "What I mean is, me, Su Shi, tomorin, RIKKI... and then add a new member to form a new band!"

A new band? Li Xi wiped his hands, lost in thought.

"Why the element of the world?" Li Xi asked.

"Because she's a bassist."

"I know another bassist, I can just ask her to come."

You mean that very dashing girl, right? Her name is Hailing, isn't it?

Li Xi added, "You heard it too, Su Shi wants to revive Crychic, I don't think she will sincerely accept your invitation."

"I know."

"That--"

Aine said softly, "It won't work if it's not Su Shi."

"...What's the reason?"

“I hope Tomorin can move forward with the support of his friends,” Aine said.

This isn't a lie, but it's not the real reason either.

Li Xi turned his face away: "Tomorin means lamp? You always give people weird and strange names."

"Not surprising at all!"

"No, it's just strange. It's strange that you try so hard to help others. No, I should say you're a weirdo from head to toe."

Ai Yin said unhappily, "That's going too far!"

“Because it’s true, I always feel like you have ulterior motives,” Li Xi said bluntly.

"You're just being too suspicious."

It was said right.

But I didn't do anything bad! Ai-yin thought to herself.

Li Xi was silent for a moment: "But I think it's amazing."

"Eh?"

"...You did everything I couldn't do, whether it was bringing in Deng and Su Shi, or sticking to your own goals even when you knew what they were thinking."

Li Xi added, "If it were me, I would choose to replace Su Shi and let Hai Ling—the bassist I know—take over."

Ai Yin stared blankly at Li Xi, then chuckled and said, "I think RIKKI's idea isn't wrong either. I know you also care about all aspects of the band, it's just that we handle things differently."

Li Xi said embarrassedly, "You talk as if you know me very well."

Aine gazed at Riki's face, and in a daze, she recalled a moment after their performance.

Why did you come here?

"You've practiced guitar a lot, haven't you? You've been practicing a lot before you came."

"You really can't lie."

"...It's remarkable that you can continue practicing after hearing such offensive words."

Why are you staring at my face?

When she came to her senses, Lixi was looking at her with raised eyebrows.

Ai Yin opened her mouth, but all her words ultimately boiled down to one sentence:

"I think RIKKI is quite cute."

"what?"

Li Xi's ears burned, and she whispered, "Why are you saying such strange things out of the blue!"

"I'm serious!"

"You think I'm cute? Are you blind? I know I have a bad temper."

Aine exclaimed in surprise, "You know that?! Seriously? I do need to wear glasses occasionally, but I'm not blind!"

"Long-winded!"

Ai Yin raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh?"

"Huh? Am I wrong?"

"You're wrong. You can question my taste in naming things, but you can't question my aesthetic sense!"

They argued like that for a little while.

Ai Yin lay on the table and muttered, "It feels like kids arguing."

"It's all because of you," Li Xi said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes~" Aine was too lazy to argue.

Li Xi sighed, "And yet I admired you so much in my dreams."

"A dream?" Ai Yin pricked up her ears, hearing a key word she couldn't miss.

"Yes, I had a dream before that you were in it—don't get me wrong, I hadn't met you yet at that time."

You dreamt of me even though you didn't see me?

Ai-yin immediately sat up straight and asked seriously, "What kind of dream was that?"

Chapter 13 Intelligence: Aine is as Strong as a Monster

Lixi never expected that Aiyin would care so much about her dream.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

“It was just a dream,” Li Xi muttered.

"Say it!"

"You're so annoying, why do I have to say it?"

Ai Yin was a little anxious: "Because I'm really curious. If it were you, and I told you I dreamed about you, you'd definitely be curious about what kind of dream I had, right?"

"That's true"

Lixi hesitated for a few seconds, then touched his neck and said, "Let me make this clear first, if you laugh or anything, don't even think about letting me join your band."

Ai Yin waved her hand quickly: "I won't laugh! I promise!"

"Really?"

"really."

Li Xi turned her face away: "Okay... how should I put it, I dreamt that I was sitting on the sofa talking to you."

Upon hearing this, Ai-yin instinctively held her breath.

She stood up even more impatiently and leaned closer to ask, "When!?"

"You, you don't come any closer!" Li Xi took a half step back.

What time was it in the dream? Was it dusk?

Li Xi was stunned and asked, "How did you know?"

She hadn't told anyone about this dream except Aine. So how did Aine know the time in the dream?

Could it be? Li Xi couldn't help but ask, "You had the same dream too?"

Before she could get a reply, she saw Aine's eyes glistening with tears, and then she suddenly hugged her.

"RIKKI~" came out in a sweet, coquettish voice that sent shivers down Lixi's spine.

"Don't suddenly hug me!" Lixi pushed Aiyin's shoulder hard. She and Aiyin had only known each other for a few days, so why was she hugging her like that?

Could it be that Aine actually has that kind of orientation?

Was the previous shedding of tears just a conspiracy?

No, that's a bit rude of me... In his confusion, Riki pushed Aine away.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Xi asked unhappily.

"Because I'm very happy, what RIKKI said wasn't a dream."

Li Xi frowned: "Not a dream? If it's not a dream, then what could it be?"

Ai Yin patted her chest: "Of course it's memories!"

"what?"

Can't understand it at all.

"Can't understand?" Aine asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Aine explained, "In other words, it wasn't a dream, but something that actually happened, just not in our current timeline."

"If we consider the scenes in our memories as the first timeline, then we are in the world of the second timeline."

Lixi was even more confused.

"What is all this nonsense?" she asked, her head throbbing. "Is this the setting you came up with for your science fiction novel?"

“No! What RIKKI considers a dream is actually the time that actually happened to me,” Aine continued. She knew it was hard to understand and accept, but that was the truth.

Li Xi sighed deeply: "You mean, you and I actually know each other?"

"Correct!"

"Did I say those things to you too?"

"Uh-huh!"

“This is ridiculous,” Li Xi said frankly.

that's true.
