Whether it was composing music, maintaining band relationships, or comforting others... so when Xiangzi left the band, everyone fell apart.

""

The teacher's voice gradually faded into the distance.

She wished she could dream about what happened in her first timeline this time. She was quite concerned about what she did and how she behaved in her first timeline, and also...

Aine should feel more at ease about this.

Of course, this is just a side reason.

It was just something I did on the side.

Chapter 25: Divorced Rich Woman's Long-Term Vegetarianism

Unfortunately, Lixi didn't dream of anything.

My neck was still a little sore when I woke up. Luckily, I'm still young and energetic, otherwise I would definitely have developed a bunch of chronic ailments. Li Xi felt that she needed to change these bad habits.

She let out a breath and took out her phone to check it.

Aiyin didn't message her and didn't know how things were going.

The Moon Forest Girls' Academy is more vibrant during lunch break.

But Su Shi's expression carried a hint of coldness.

"What did you say?"

Mu didn't look at her. With her back to Su Shi, she watered the cucumbers and said softly, "I don't want to be a messenger anymore."

Why did it turn out like this? Mu shouldn't say things like that.

...That's right. Su Shi's fingernails dug into the back of her hand, and a possibility occurred to her:

"Xiao Xiang must have told you something."

Otherwise, Mu himself would never have said those words.

"You saw her, right?" Su Shi stood up and walked to Mu's side.

Mu kept her head down, watering the plants with a watering can.

"Xiao Mu, just a little more, the band... the old days will be back." Su Shi said softly, these words seeming more to herself than to Mu.

Is it still a little short? Li Xi has already betrayed Crychic, and Deng still has no intention of forming a band.

But what else can we do if we don't say it this way?

"Please help me, Xiao Mu."

Su Shi took Mu's water bottle, put it aside, and walked around to face her.

"I can only rely on you!" she said sincerely.

Mu finally raised her face, looked quietly at Su Shi, and hesitated before opening her mouth. She didn't think Su Shi was lying, but that only made her hesitate.

"What you're doing is giving Su Shi meaningless hope. A frank refusal is better for everyone." — Xiangzi's voice echoed in my mind.

A hopeless situation...

Xiangzi will never return to Cyrchic. It's not that she hates the past or the band she built with her own hands, but reality doesn't allow her to continue enjoying those dreamlike, wonderful days.

What Su Shi wanted was destined to remain unfulfilled.

Any hope will eventually turn into poison, so it's better to cut it off completely.

It's good for everyone.

Thinking of this, Mu lowered her head again and moved her lips: "I... will no longer act as a messenger."

Su Shi bit her lip, unwilling to give up, and asked, "Is this your own idea?"

"...Hmm. It has nothing to do with Xiangzi."

Mu turned around.

“I never wanted to reorganize Crychic,” she said deliberately.

Then he started walking and left.

Su Shi, who remained where she was, lowered her head, her bangs obscuring her eyes, but her expression was still somber. Mu always did things she didn't want to do and said things she didn't want to say, and this time was no exception.

Su Shi clenched her fist, then wearily let it go.

"Is there really no other way...?"

At which step did things go wrong?

Or is it that reforming a band was a mistake from the start?

“They talk about a shared destiny, but I was the first to leave the team…” Su Shi gritted her teeth.

She sat in the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling of the pavilion.

"I just want to be with everyone."

Then she returned to that warm time. That way, even if the house was empty, she wouldn't feel cold. Why was it so hard for her to grasp what others could so easily have?

Su Shi closed her eyes, wanting only to sit here for a while.

But then her phone rang—a message had come in. To receive Xiangzi's message as soon as possible, Su Shi never silenced her phone during her free time.

She didn't think Xiangzi would message her.

However, Su Shi still found it and turned on the screen.

[Aine: Do you have time?]

I don't want to deal with it.

If you hadn't taken Lixi away, there would still be a chance and hope... Su Shi pursed her lips and sighed again.

What's the point of taking your anger out on this pink-haired girl?

Moreover, Aine did a lot for them. Although she had her own selfish motives, she did manage to reunite the three of them, and their relationship was no longer stuck on the day the band disbanded.

It was like a ray of sunlight quietly appearing through the rain. But right now, Su Shi just wanted to draw the curtains and block it out.

After a short while, Su Shi still sent a question mark helplessly. If she didn't respond properly to Ai Yin, Ai Yin would definitely, absolutely, certainly... come and block the door.

Students from other schools have been blocking her door time and again, which will definitely become a topic of conversation among the students. She doesn't want to become the center of attention because of this.

[Su Shi:? 】

[Aine: I have something I want to tell you!]

I don't want to hear it.

Don't think you can take advantage of me when I'm vulnerable. Su Shi bit her finger: "I will absolutely not join your band."

If Crychic really can't be reformed, then... she won't form a band with anyone again!

She does what she says.

[Su Shi: What is it?]

[Aine: Let's talk about it when we meet!]

[Su Shi: I haven't had much free time lately]

[Aine: Then I'll wait until you're free, soyorin. This concerns the Crychic you want, and everything I want, so please think it over as soon as possible.]

Although the address is still that tasteless "soyorin," the seriousness in the sentences is obvious.

Su Shi stared at the phone screen and moved her fingers.

"Did you come here specifically to mock me?"—She typed this sentence and then deleted it.

"Everything you want? That has nothing to do with me"—she also deleted that sentence.

Su Shi ultimately only replied with one sentence.

[Su Shi: Let's talk about it after school.]

[Aiyin: Okay, the address is here, you must come!]

Aiyin sent a map link; the location she set was a beverage shop, seemingly indicating they planned to talk while having drinks. Su Shi didn't reply; instead, she put down her phone and slowly closed her eyes.

Aine once said that the content of dreams is another timeline, representing things that actually happened.

Did I ever truly exist as someone who cried and suffered like a fool on stage?

If so, what were the feelings and emotional journey of that "I" when I joined the band that wasn't Crychic?

Su Shi subconsciously touched the hair beside her face.

I know you're feeling really bad right now, I understand!

"I will prove it, prove that you can believe everything I say."

—That's what the pink-haired girl said.

Do you understand? Even if you do understand, what good will it do?

Even if it's proven, so what?

Su Shi crossed her arms, rubbed her arms, and said casually, "Why me of all people?"

Anyone can play bass.

Her skill level couldn't be considered professional, and after the band disbanded, her performance declined significantly due to lack of training. She deserved better options, both technically and personally.

Su Shi whispered, "Chihaya Aine..."

really.

"...I still can't bring myself to like it."

The name soyorin.

She doesn't like it at all.

Chapter 26 You must be Miss OB something something, right?

Su Shi still remembers what her original name was.

Ichinose Motoyo – Ichinose was her original surname. At that time, she did not live in a luxurious 45-story apartment building, but in an inconspicuous little house.

The living room wasn't big, the lighting was dim, and many things were piled together, so it wasn't exactly tidy. But everywhere you looked, there were traces of a family's life, and it was warm and comfortable, so the small size didn't matter.

Until one day her mother said to her:

"Su Shi, why don't you live with your mother?"

Then her name was changed to Nagasaki Motoyo.

The mother took her hand and led her to the 45th floor of the luxury apartment building, excitedly saying, "Mom, I'm so awesome, right? From now on, Su Shi and I will live here!"

Why move?

Why change the name?

Why is it just me and my mother left?

Many questions piled up in her mind, but the still young Su Shi didn't ask them. She couldn't bring herself to ask, and it seemed there was no need to ask; she vaguely realized the truth—separation.

Life is always full of partings.

Sometimes it's beyond our control, sometimes it's our own fault... but no matter which one it is, the ending is already predetermined.

I hate parting. Su Shi thought to herself.

"Su Shi, is there anything you want?"

I want my original life.

Going to and from school doesn't require taking an elevator to the 45th floor, nor does it require such a large room.

But when Su Shi opened her mouth, she only gave an ambiguous smile.

"No."

"Which junior high school do you want to go to?"

"...Which one does Mom think is better?"

Actually, it doesn't matter which one.
