“Yes, it’s been a long time. Mu is here too?” She noticed Mu standing to the side.
It's not surprising that Aine would be here...
Mu nodded slightly in response.
"Good evening, Xiangzi." Aiyin greeted him with a smile.
"...Good evening. But let's end the pleasantries here. I'm here to talk about something."
To break free from lingering ties, a swift and decisive action is necessary.
Xiangzi took a breath, and although it was difficult to say, he had to:
"Crychic is over."
As expected, Su Shi's expression changed drastically. No amount of guessing or speculation could compare to the concise and to-the-point statement from the person in question.
The end? Su Shi forced a smile: "Xiao...Xiao Xiang, why are you saying that too...?"
"Because it's a fact, and I ended it with my own hands. Have you forgotten? I told all of you in front of everyone that I was leaving the team," Xiangzi said coldly.
Before Su Shi could speak, she continued, arms crossed:
"I heard you seem to want to reorganize Crychic?"
"Yeah! We used to have such a great time together, isn't it a shame that it's ending like this?"
"It's not a pity."
Xiangzi said coldly, "It's your business if you want to reorganize, but don't drag people who don't want to be involved. I will not agree to join, absolutely not, so from now on, don't bother me anymore."
"It's about time we moved on from the past, isn't it?" she said again, turning to leave.
One or two people said the same thing.
Mu is like that, and so is Xiangzi. In the end, is it only me who wants to reform the band?
Am I the only one still clinging to the past?
Su Shizhen wanted to grab Xiangzi's hand, kneel down and beg her to stay, pleading with her—she was willing to do anything to bring Crychic back to life.
But everything so far has infuriated her.
Mu, Lixi, Deng, Xiangzi—the ones who said nothing, the ones who joined other bands and became traitors, the ones who left without saying goodbye, and others…
"Do you have the right to say that?" Su Shi asked, her head bowed, her fists clenched, her voice low and menacing.
"What?" Xiangzi turned his head.
relief?
Liberation from the past?
"Yes! I hope to form a community of shared destiny to play music together! And like my senior... Morfonica's band, we can play songs that belong to us."
"That sounds wonderful."
"I think so too, but we'll make it happen. Come on, Su Shi!"
Xiangzi smiled brightly: "Let's form a band!"
"Who was it that kept talking about a shared destiny? You formed your own band, and now you say you'll end it all yourself. What are we to you? You betrayed the past—"
Su Shi suddenly raised her head and said hysterically, "—I have absolutely no right to ask others to let me off the hook!"
"!"
Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips. This was the first time Su Shi had ever been so angry and hysterical.
When she was with Crychic, Su Shi was like a gentle mother, harmonizing and taking care of everyone in the band. But the side she shows now feels unfamiliar.
Ai Yin, on the other hand, thought it suited her taste.
This was Su Shi's expression when she played "Spring Shadow".
Mu couldn't help but defend himself, saying, "No, Su Shi, Xiangzi is because..."
"Mu is like that too! He always has that long face and never says what he really thinks. He just needs to listen to me, but he always does unnecessary things. Even if he doesn't listen, he shouldn't stay by my side."
"If you didn't want to restructure, you should have just said so earlier!"
"The result was that I was made to look like an idiot, thinking there was still a chance to reform the band!"
Mu lowered his head and remained silent.
Su Shi is completely exploding right now; no matter what you say, she probably won't listen.
Moreover, Su Shi was right; if he had said from the beginning that he didn't want to reorganize, or if he had rejected her from the start...
Then Su Shi would not see even the slightest glimmer of hope, and would become deeply mired in it, unable to extricate herself.
"Lixi too! Deng too!"
Su Shi looked at Ai Yin.
"Aine too!"
"what?"
"Me?" Ai Yin pointed to herself, feeling as if she had been suddenly kicked while lying on the side of the road.
"What other timelines, what Soyorin, what wanting to form a band with me—it's all so annoying, constantly trying to sway my resolve!"
They're actually criticizing this?
"I hate you all... I hate you all so much..." Su Shi's tears fell to the ground drop by drop.
In the deathly silence, only Su Shi's sobs lingered.
Xiangzi watched this scene with a complicated expression. She wanted to apologize, but this didn't seem so bad.
At least in this way, Su Shi will no longer bother her, nor will she want to rebuild Crychic.
Xiangzi opened his mouth.
Just as she was about to say her next sentence, Aine spoke up.
"Mu, were you cooperating with Xiangzi back then?"
Mu was stunned for a moment: "Back then?"
"The day Crychic disbanded, Riki told me, 'You said I never felt happy playing in a band.'"
"said."
But she didn't understand why Aine would bring it up at this time.
Xiangzi was puzzled for a few seconds, then she understood: "Mu, ignore her!"
"But you actually had a lot of fun with everyone at Crychic, right? You went to karaoke together, took photos together, and even laughed."
""
Aine walked up to Mu and said softly, "I've never felt happy playing in a band—but it's not that I've never felt happy being with everyone, is it?"
Mu raised her eyes, looked at Ai Yin, and hesitated to speak.
Xiangzi strode over and said, "Aiyin, this is none of your business. Let's go, Mu."
"Xiangzi, shut up!" Aiyin said seriously.
"what?"
"I'm asking about Mu, it has nothing to do with Xiangzi, right?"
Xiangzi said in a low voice, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Aine ignored it.
She looked at Mu again and said softly, "Even if everything is already set in stone and cannot be undone, at least Mu can speak her mind."
"For the sake of the person I used to laugh in front of everyone, for the sake of Su Shi, and for the sake of Xiangzi... is that alright?"
Mu's gaze passed over Aine's hair and landed on Su Shi under the lamplight. She had stopped sobbing, but under the lamplight, she looked so lonely. It was completely different from her usual smiling self in front of everyone.
Mu looked at Xiangzi again, and Xiangzi's expression clearly said: Don't say it!
For the sake of the person who used to laugh in front of everyone.
"I--"
Mu said softly, "I feel very happy when I'm with everyone."
Su Shi did not react at all.
“But we can’t go back now, because of Xiangzi,” Mu continued.
"Because I'm going to form a new band!" Xiangzi suddenly interrupted.
Huh? A new band? Ai Yin was taken aback.
Su Shi finally reacted, her voice hoarse: "A new band?"
“Yes, it’s different from Crychic; it’s better and stronger,” Xiangzi said in a cold tone.
Better and stronger?
"So what exactly does Crychic mean to you?" Su Shi clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, sending waves of dull pain through her.
Xiangzi closed his eyes and turned around.
What is it? Many images flashed through her mind, but what finally settled on was her current home, the cheap house, the bottles scattered all over the floor, her empty wallet, and her unconscious, bastard father.
"Of course it is..."
A place we can never return to, a place where we can no longer bear the weight of each other's lives.
"...It doesn't count for anything, so I don't need it anymore."
"The so-called community of shared destiny never existed from the beginning. How can we, mere students, bear the burden of each other's lives?"
"How can people who are firmly bound by Earth's gravity pursue the stars in the sky?"
"What a person can possess and what they cannot possess is all predetermined in the universe."
"The dream is over, I don't need Crychic anymore."
We cannot possess it.
Xiangzi was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Let's go, Mu."
""
Mu stood there, hesitating for a long time, before finally following Xiangzi.
She wanted to look back at Su Shi, but in the end she couldn't. In Su Shi's eyes, she must be an absolute traitor.
And so, the two gradually drifted away.
Aine watched this scene silently, her gaze eventually settling on the silent Su Shi.
Su Shi seemed to have lost all her strength, slumped on the ground, and looked even more lonely.
"Soyorin, get up first, it's not good to sit on the floor..."
Ai Yin tried to pull Su Shi up, but Su Shi did not respond. She tried several times, but it was still the same, so she knew it was in vain.
Su Shi doesn't want to do anything now; she's completely heartbroken.
There's nothing I can do; since I can't pull her up, I'll just sit next to her.
Thinking this, Ai Yin pressed down on her skirt and sat down next to Su Shi. Unable to see Su Shi's face clearly, she couldn't help but reach out and brush a strand of hair from Su Shi's face behind her ear.
Then, Su Shi, with her lifeless eyes, came into view.
“It’s all over.” Su Shi’s voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.
"this one"
"In the end, I was the only one who wanted to reform the band, like a fool."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, sliding down her cheeks. Su Shi wept listlessly.
"What do all my efforts amount to?"
Aine couldn't answer, but instead, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Suze's face, wiping away her tears.
Su Shi slapped the hand away, saying, "What is this? Are you pitying me?"
