However, at that time, Lena had not yet joined, nor had she and Su Shi joined the band.

Everything has changed.

Just then, other voices of conversation came from not far away.

"The day before yesterday I saw a girl who liked earthworms."

"Huh? You like earthworms? That's kind of disgusting."

"Right? I don't understand what's so good about that kind of thing. I've heard that some people like to collect things like stones and bottle caps."

"That's just picking up trash."

""

Suddenly, I heard a familiar soft whisper in my ear.

“Tomorin, don’t worry about what they say,” Aine said.

“Exactly. What do they know?” Li Xi curled her lip.

“Those kinds of words are everywhere, and if you take them to heart, it will never end,” Su Shi also said.

“A boring girl,” Lena said succinctly.

The lamp gently shook its head.

She knew Aine and the others were trying to comfort her, but she didn't really feel anything from those words anymore. She just couldn't help but think when she heard others say them:

"There are people who cannot see the colors of others... too."

It cannot be seen, nor can it be accepted.

Even though my color is different from everyone else's, and even though all human colors are different.

It's right there, but I'm unwilling to look at it.

Just thinking about it made the lamp whisper:

"I always feel it's a real pity."

PS: Even though the book is finished, my editor still gave it a recommendation spot. Because I need to write the side stories, I can't change the book status. I was thinking of updating it tomorrow.

Chapter 160 Takamatsu Akari is an alien.

"Light, get up and go to school. Mom, I'm going to sleep for a while. You and Dad have breakfast."

The curtains were drawn back, letting in the lackluster sunlight.

Deng sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Night shift is busy?"

"That's it."

My mother often works the night shift and usually goes to sleep after making breakfast.

"If I can get into a good university, maybe I can make things easier for my family," Deng thought, picking up the comic book beside her pillow.

The comic was recommended by Su Shi, who said that the emotions in it were very delicate and would be suitable for her to read. However, most local comics only have color covers, and the main content is only in black and white.

However, even with only black and white, you can still "see" the unique colors that belong to each character.

But for some reason, Su Shi always recommended female protagonists and their comics.

Flipping to any page at random, one can indeed clearly see the vibrant colors.

However, some people will not choose to watch it.

"Right? I don't understand what's so good about that kind of thing. I've heard that some people like to collect things like stones and bottle caps."

"That's just picking up trash."

The lights were silent.

She wasn't saddened by the colorlessness, silence, rejection, and indifference, but she still felt regret and pity.

No matter how hard you try to convey it, it will only cause your voice to fall into stagnant water and sink into dead silence.

So what should we do?

Turn to the last page of the comic, where the two female protagonists confess their feelings for each other, and then comes the ending.

I wish I could keep drawing.

This way, she will know what to do after confessing her feelings to someone.

"Aiyin"

What should you do after becoming a girlfriend?

My mind is filled with questions.

If you were to ask Aine, she would probably ask in return, "What does Tomorin want to do?"

The lamp couldn't answer; she felt that being together forever was enough. She asked for nothing more.

A "partner" is a special kind of relationship, with things that other relationships cannot do, but partners can do.

For example, kissing. She knew that, since it often happened in movies.

""

She touched her face; it was a little hot. She let out a sigh of relief and decided to go to school first.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Aine hadn't arrived yet, so Akari took out her notebook and began sketching lines and writing down words that came to mind. But no matter how she drew them, the questions in her heart still lingered.

People often say that they will no longer feel confused and will have clear thoughts once they get older.

But no longer feeling confused feels like a pity. It could even be described as terrifying.

"Good morning~"

Good morning, Aiyin!

The lamp looked up and saw Ai Yin greeting her classmates as she walked towards her.

"Good morning, Tomorin, what are you doing?" Ai asked curiously after putting down her schoolbag.

"Ah, but there are some problems."

"math?"

"No..." Deng didn't know where to begin.

Ai Yin pondered, "Could it be that Tomorin is still bothered by what he heard yesterday?"

"Well, you could also say I care."

Aiyin walked to the lamp and glanced at her notebook. Amidst the messy lines, there were a few words: "cannot see," "silence," "color"... At first glance, it looked like new lyrics.

Just as Deng was about to explain, Ai Yin stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"Wait, let me guess!"

Given her relationship with the lamp, she should be able to decipher these radio waves by now!

After pondering for a while, Aine had a flash of inspiration: "I know, it's because they feel that humans can't understand each other, right?"

Deng's eyes widened slightly: "Aiyin... is amazing."

"After all, I've known Tomorin for quite a while!" Aine said proudly.

The lamp lowered its head: "But rather than saying we can't understand each other, it's more like... we simply don't want to understand each other."

"People who like earthworms and people who like bottle caps see the world differently, and it is precisely because of these differences that dazzling colors can emerge."

"Why don't you want to understand?" she asked again.

Ai Yin hesitated for a moment.

The change in the lamp may seem small, but once you open up her heart and explore it, you'll find that the scene presented inside is completely different from before.

The lamp used to want to become human, and it always thought about it.

The lamp now shifts its focus from itself to the connections between people.

The resulting confusion is something that no one can perfectly answer, regardless of who they are.

“Maybe it’s because everyone is just different,” Aine said.

"is it?"

"I don't know either. Some people feel there's no need to understand others, while others understand but just can't accept it. There are all sorts of people."

The lamp, pen in hand, continued scribbling on the paper: "...Humans are so complicated."

This sounds like something out of the ordinary.

"How about we give Tomorin a try?" Ai Yin suggested, as she happened to have a good idea.

"How do I try?" Deng asked her curiously.

Ai Yin took out her phone, pointed at the screen, and smiled broadly.

"use this!"

"We are preparing for the second session of the Lost Child Gathering and would like to collect photos from everyone: please select the stone that you think is the best, decorate it with your own unique style, interpret your worldview, or express your wishes, etc."

"The photos we collect will appear in the video. We look forward to seeing your unique stones! This will last for a week!"

That's the latest news from the band's account.

Why a stone? Is it related to the lamp? Did Aine and the lamp talk about something?

Lixi played with her phone, lost in thought.

"...I'm going to make one too."

Because she always felt that others would do the same thing, and in the end she would be the only one empty-handed, then she wouldn't be able to laugh.

Does the school have one?

"Let's go take a look." Li Xi stood up, walked to the courtyard of Hanasakigawa Academy, and squatted down to look for stones.

"What are you doing?" Hailing's voice drew closer.

"Collecting stones."

"?"

Hailing sipped her drink: "When did you start liking to do this kind of thing?"

"Now."

Lixi picked up a sharp-edged stone and held it up to the sunlight.

If it were a lamp, this stone would probably look completely different to her; it might be a hedgehog, or it might be a sea urchin.

But no matter how Lixi looked at it, it was just a stone.

That's why she wanted to decorate it in her favorite way, to let the stone be imbued with her colors.

Is that what Aine means?

“...As expected of my girlfriend.” Li Xi smiled.

"Your smile is strange."

Li Xi blushed: "You're so long-winded."

After some time, on the other side.

Su Shi glanced at her phone, put it away, and also put the kettle aside.

Mu seems to be particularly busy lately, so she came to help take care of these plants.

If you're asking if there are any stones around here, then there definitely are. Although I don't know what Aine is planning to do, she has nothing else to do anyway, so picking up a few stones won't be a problem.

“This one looks good.” Su Shi pinched the smooth stone.

She still seems to prefer round, chubby things that feel nice to the touch.

Because it reminds her of someone with terrible taste in pink names.

Meanwhile, Lena

She watched the cat repeatedly tapping the glass beads, lost in thought.

"Meow, give this to me."
