This is the price for getting everything from her.

never separate.

Chapter 140 Tang Aiyin and Salted Vegetarian Food

After the performance, everyone gathered in the coffee shop on the second floor.

No one spoke until Ai-yin casually smiled and said, "It was another successful performance, everyone is very happy!"

"...What did you mean by what you just said?" Li Xi asked.

She said she would accept anything, and even confessed her feelings to them all in front of so many viewers and fans.

Ai Yin scratched her face, embarrassed, and said, "Well, it's just what it sounds like."

"I don't understand, please explain it more clearly."

Everyone else was waiting for her further explanation, but Lena seemed not to care much about it.

Aine suppressed her shyness and said, "We didn't respond to Riki's confession before, and there are also Soyorin and Tomorin's. Even if the band doesn't disband and continues to exist, it doesn't mean we have to ignore them."

No matter whose intention it is, it should not be ignored or disregarded; it must be responded to directly.

Lixi crossed her arms, recalling Aiyin's confession just now, and felt a little embarrassed herself.

But she had to ask, "So you mean you want to accept everything? To have multiple relationships at the same time?"

That's absolutely shameless!

She had considered whether Aine would accept her confession or reject her, but she never imagined that Aine would accept both.

“Aiyin is really greedy. This band isn’t part of your harem.” Su Shi turned her face away.

"Wait, wait, wait! That's not what I meant!" Ai Yin said hurriedly.

"Huh? What else could it mean?" Li Xi retorted.

The lamp tried to understand: "...the price."

"The price?" Li Xi asked.

"Yes, just like Tomorin said. Everyone's feelings are genuine and shouldn't be ignored, but I can't give a response. Even if I refuse, we'll still be together, but there will still be some resentment, right?"

Su Shi's expression was displeased: "So, once you accept it, that's it?"

"Of course not, so call it compensation or whatever... I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do!"

"...Anything is fine?" Li Xi confirmed.

"whatever!"

It's less that Aiyin owns the band, and more that the band owns Aiyin.

Li Xi didn't know what to say, so she looked at Su Shi.

“...This isn’t what I want,” Su Shi said in a low voice.

But that's all the rights we can have.

Even if there is regret, there is no going back or turning back.

She didn't agree with Aine's statement at all, but regardless of whether she agreed or not, Aine would still do it—this twisted relationship was the best choice for them now.

Lixi lowered her head: "Me too."

There's always this feeling that the band shares a girlfriend.

It's better than never being able to hear Ai Yin again.

Deng pursed her lips slightly: "Actually, Ai Yin, you didn't need to do this... I've already made my choice. I chose the band."

Su Shi is, and so is Li Xi.

Seeing that all three of them had fallen silent and had not affirmed her decision, Aine couldn't help but clench her clothes tightly.

This is indeed reckless, awkward, and not honorable at all.

"And then—"

But she couldn't split herself into multiple parts to respond to their feelings, nor could she ignore everything that had happened before, whether it was a confession or a kiss, she couldn't pretend she hadn't seen it.

Ignoring what has already happened is a recipe for disaster.

When Aine thought of this, her expression became light and airy: "--It feels so good to be liked by everyone like this~ This kind of popularity is something you can't ask for!"

She thought Su Shi and Li Xi would criticize her as usual, but they remained silent.

“If that’s not what you really think, then stop lying,” Su Shi said softly.

“There’s no need to tell lies that are so obvious,” Li Xi said.

If Aine were truly like that, she wouldn't have collapsed.

Aine, realizing she'd been found out, had no choice but to look away: "So you want me to pretend nothing happened? That's not impossible."

All the things that happened between them that went beyond friendship were erased from memory.

The happiness, satisfaction, and warmth felt during that time will all disappear.

Regardless of whether denying these ideas is correct, just having the thought of denying them in my mind is unbearably painful.

The silence continues to spread.

“Then it’s settled!” Aine declared, seizing the opportunity.

From this day forward, she will not refuse anything the band members do to her!

Everything that Chihaya Aine possesses now belongs to this band.

What about the celebration?

She changed the subject, trying to lighten the mood.

Not getting a reply, she continued, "Let's do it tomorrow then, everyone must be tired."

“I also think it would be better to do it tomorrow,” Li Xi said with a sigh of relief.

It would be best if we all went home today.

As for whether everyone will be present tomorrow, there's no need to worry. No matter what, no one will drop out.

After chatting casually for a while, everyone dispersed and went home.

As soon as Aine returned to her room, she collapsed onto the bed: "Ugh—so tired."

Having to perform and force himself to say those words, desperately trying to convey his emotions, the physical and mental exhaustion was obvious.

She certainly didn't think that simply saying those things would be enough to get everyone to accept it.

Whether it's Su Shi, Li Xi, Deng... or Le Nai, everyone must have their own thoughts and ideas.

There's no way to change it.

She had no choice but to give them everything she had.

Time doesn't always heal everything, so we need to take action and respond.

"But I mustered up the courage to say it, so at least I shouldn't stay silent forever." Aine couldn't help but sigh.

Let's check the band's account; she's a bit interested in the performance reviews.

Sure enough, new comments have appeared under the latest news.

"Oh my, I've witnessed something truly extraordinary!"

"So this is the unpredictable stage... I understand."

"The band's new song is great, and every time I come here I see you guys doing something really rock and roll. It's such a good deal to get so much for the price of a ticket!"

It doesn't happen every time!

Wait a minute, do we seem to the audience like the kind of band that always does weird things on stage? Ai Yin belatedly realized this.

Overall, the reviews were positive, and Aine, feeling quite satisfied, began selecting a location for tomorrow's celebration.

Being rejected is an unpleasant thing. Nobody wants to be rejected.

Cute voice's actions are equally unlikable, even though Su Shi knows very well that this is the best ending and choice.

Lying in bed, holding her phone, Su Shi casually scrolled through her chat history with Ai Yin.

It's been many days since our last private chat.

If you made that decision a long time ago, then you shouldn't have remained silent with her until today.

This will only make her unable to trust you.

"....I know."

Ai-yin just wanted to pick a good time.

During that period, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to strike up a conversation as casually as I usually could.

Putting down her phone, Su Shi lowered her eyes.

Can I do anything?

Aine must have said those words with great awareness.

But everyone knows that not everything can really be done—for example, it's impossible for Aine to just look at her, or to just hold her hand.

However, there are also many things that can be requested.

For example, always being together.

For example, leaving traces.

I will not break my promise.

"That"

What if I make her angry with me?

Chapter 141 Accepting the BOT Aine

"cheers!"

The following day, the band held a celebration as promised.

The glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound. Then Ai-yin took out her phone and snapped a picture.

"In this kind of weather, hot pot is the perfect choice," she exclaimed.

"It would be even better if we didn't eat before using our phones. Every time, we have to wait a few seconds before Ai-yin can pick up her chopsticks." Su-shi shook her head slightly, feeling quite helpless.

“Of course we should take pictures when we’re all out for dinner, soyorin really doesn’t understand,” Aine said with a smile.

Su Shi added, "Not everyone would do that."

"But that's what makes a high school girl look like."

"Yes Yes."

Does that mean I don't look like a high school girl at all? It doesn't matter. Su Shi didn't bother with it.

Li Xi propped her chin on her hand, scrolling through her phone: "Why does it feel like our fans are expecting us to do something completely unrelated to music?"

"For example?" Su Shi asked casually.

"Like when they pull the lights up on stage for their first performance. That's not a performance. And a performance should be about playing music. What kind of band would do that messy thing?" Li Xi scoffed.

“Mujica can only perform short plays,” Ai said.

Lixi put her phone away: "So I have absolutely no interest in them. What kind of band is that?"

Li Xi didn't like it, but Ai Yin did.

Unfortunately, she couldn't manage to snag any merchandise.

Who on earth is buying Mujica merchandise?! Aine sullenly put the food into her mouth.

"The performance is over. What are the plans afterward?" Su Shi asked.

"...Just like before, we'll be making two new songs this time."

"Is everything alright?" Su Shi asked to confirm.

Li Xi knew exactly what Su Shi was trying to say: Shouldn't bands slow down and focus on getting to know each other better?
