"Aine's Home"

The lamp mumbled something and nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

She also wanted to see how the stones she had given her before were doing.

I hope it's doing well with Aine.

Saying goodbye to the lights, Ai Yin took out her phone as she walked.

[Aiyin: RIKKI, come to my house for a study session after school tomorrow!]

Li Xi: I'm not going.

[Aiyin: Tomorin will be coming too?]

[Lixi:]

[Lixi: Do you think I'll come just because you say things like that?]

[Aine: You won't?]

[Lixi: Yes. Although I'm a little annoyed, I feel like you've tricked me... Where do you live?]

Just know.

After sending the address, Ai Yin put away her phone and quickened her pace. She had to go to one more place before going home.

The entrance to Tsukimori School!

Block the door!

Chapter 16 soyo0

"Why did Crychic disband? If we could have continued together, why... did it turn out like this?"—Deng once asked this question.

I want to ask too. Su Shi leaned against the wall, gazing at the distant sky.

If we can continue to move forward together, we won't disband.

Conversely...

"Are we destined to disband?" Su Shi muttered to herself, touching her hands.

But that's impossible. There's definitely still a chance to salvage things, whether it's Xiangzi or Deng... Deng just needs some time to calm down, and Xiangzi certainly can't forget Crychic. There's still hope.

The pain of her fingernail digging into her flesh strengthened Su Shi's resolve.

"Su Shi."

Su Shi snapped out of her daze and turned around to see Mu with a blank expression.

She put on a gentle smile again: "Has Xiao Mu contacted Xiao Xiang?"

"....No."

"That's it."

"Don't you want to fulfill my wish?" Su Shi wanted to ask.

If it weren't for what you said, if it weren't for the statement "I've never found playing in a band very enjoyable," perhaps the band would still have a chance to be saved... Su Shi hid her hands behind her waist, clenched her fists, and her nails pricked her skin.

I didn't intend to do that kind of thing.

I didn't mean to interrogate you or put pressure on you.

Su Shi became increasingly annoyed and frustrated as she thought about it.

"I...."

She's a hopeless woman. She even once considered taking advantage of a girl who was seriously forming a band.

Su Shi let out a soft breath and said, "I've talked to Li Xi and Deng."

""

You should have come.

Mu Wei turned her face away slightly: "Just because you're here, does that mean you'll succeed?"

That one short sentence ignited Su Shi's anger.

What exactly does Crychic mean to you?

Mu didn't answer. As always, she remained silent at times like these, which only made Su Shi more irritated—just say what you mean! Whether you like it or hate it.

At least let people know what you're thinking.

Su Shi took a deep breath and smiled again.

But there was no smile in his eyes.

"Let me see Xiangzi."

I'll go ask her.

"Good work."

They're definitely just stalling for time again.

Su Shi pressed her aching chest. Getting too angry wouldn't do, so she shook her head and walked away from Mu's sight. Mu watched her quietly, then took out his phone.

After hesitating for a moment, she still sent a message.

After school.

Goodbye, Su Shi!

Thank you so much for today!

Su Shi waved with a big smile: "No, no, it was just a small thing. See you all tomorrow~"

She took out her phone and sent a message.

[Su Shi: Is Mother coming home for dinner today?]

After a while.

[Mother: Sorry, I was very busy today too! I'll take you out for something delicious next time.]

As expected, Su Shi simply nodded in understanding and sent a new message.

[Su Shi: Yes, take good care of yourself.]

So, what should we eat tonight? Su Shi thought casually as she changed her shoes and walked out of the school gate with the other students.

"I've got it, Su Shi!"

Familiar voice.

Pretend you didn't hear it. Su Shi didn't intend to pay attention, and turned to walk away, but the next second, that pink color drifted into her eyes.

Ai-yin approached her: "Su-shi-kun, are you pretending not to hear what I said?"

"Eh? Ai-ne? What are you doing here?" Su Shi greeted her with a smile.

They're definitely pretending not to hear.

She's always like this.

Ai Yin put her hands on her hips and sighed, "Su Shi's lies are too obvious."

What? Su Shi raised an eyebrow slightly.

But she still smiled and said in a low voice, "Lying? There's no such thing. There are so many people here, it's normal that you didn't hear Aine's voice."

"Hmm~"

Ai Yin didn't bother with that anymore and went straight to the point: "Tachi and the Lantern Festival are coming to my house tomorrow."

Li Xi and Deng?

why?

Did they reconcile in private and form a band?

This shouldn't have happened! Su Shi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, fidgeting with her fingers:

"why?"

Ai Yin handed over her phone and said with a smile, "Su Shi, come over too! We're planning to have a study session! Since you're a student of Moon Forest, Su Shi must be very bright."

It turns out it was just a study session.

Su Shi felt relieved. Luckily, it wasn't that they had formed a band in secret and that Ai Yin had come to cause trouble.

Su Shi seemed to be deep in thought when she asked, "Why?"

Why did you specifically tell me this?

Ai Yin seemed to understand Su Shi's unspoken meaning and chuckled, "Isn't that a good thing? It can also serve as an opportunity for the three of you to ease the tension between you."

""

Is that really all I think?

Su Shi observed Aine's eyes and, apart from finding them very beautiful, couldn't discern anything else.

“...I will not join your band,” Su Shi said, emphasizing “your” in a low voice.

"Does Su Shi think I'm doing him a favor?"

"I didn't say that, I just felt that important things need to be emphasized again and again," Su Shi said with a smile.

Ai Yin added, "I have no intention of doing favors for others."

"I didn't say that."

“But I feel that you are thinking that way.”

Su Shiyi looked at him and said, "You said you wanted me to join your band, right?"

"But I won't take this opportunity to force Su Shi to join. I just think—even if we can't form a band, there's no need to make our relationship so strained, right?"

Ai Yin waved her phone: "Not as former teammates, but as friends, let's have a proper get-together with Tomorin and Riki, shall we?"

You talk as if you know me very well.

Su Shi gripped his arm, thinking: How can you, who isn't a member of Crychic, understand the uniqueness of that band?

“If we’re not in a band, then we’re just ordinary friends,” Su Shi said softly.

"Aren't ordinary friends good enough?"

"...Ordinary means whatever."

Because it is an existence that is "good no matter what", even if we part ways, we will not feel too much pain. However, the memories and light given are insignificant. This is the meaning of "ordinary".

negligible.

Ai Yin then asked, "Su Shi, are you really just ordinary friends?"

""

"If that's the case, then it's quite normal that Su Shi doesn't want to come to the study group," Aine said deliberately.

This guy

Su Shi felt a surge of dissatisfaction, as if she had been tricked by Ai Yin. She couldn't make a second choice, as it was neither reasonable nor emotional.

"...Where do you live?"

"Success!" Ai Yin laughed. "Add me as a friend first, and I'll send it to you later. That way you won't forget!"

"Ok."

The two exchanged contact information.

A new person was added to her friend list, but that didn't make Su Shi happy. In stark contrast was Aine's smile.

Although she could ask Lixi to send her Su Shi's account ID so she could add her online, Su Shi probably wouldn't refuse, but some things are better discussed offline.

Aine waved: "See you tomorrow, soyorin!"

"What?" Su Shi was taken aback.

What kind of address is that? It's so tasteless!
