“Jealous?” she muttered.

Even Aine gets jealous. Su Shi sighed, but jealousy was useless, because Crychic was completely over.

"I will not forget it."

I just won't cry or get angry about it anymore.

That's it.

Su Shi subconsciously touched her hair, which was still slightly damp. That's the downside of long hair, but she had no intention of cutting it short. Her mother said she looked good with long hair, so she kept it.

In the end, Aine still got to touch her hair.

But actually it's not a big deal, it's just hair, not the face.

Thinking of this, Su Shi recalled that strange dream again. It was clearly not real at all, not a memory that had actually happened, yet it had inexplicably taken root in her mind and she couldn't get it out of her head. It was really frustrating.

She didn't want to dream about Aiyin.

I don't want to dream about touching Aine's face, or being touched by her.

It's best not to dream.

What about the dream of the next cycle? Su Shi raised her right leg, hugged her knee, and looked at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The steel jungle is lit up with countless lights, so many that they could be called stars on the ground.

She could vaguely see the place where they took the long way around.

Aine said they had formed a band called MyGO, but in a different timeline.

Now that things have come to this, Su Shi has no need to doubt or question this statement.

Whether it's true or not, Ai Yin wants her to join the band.

"How will you know if you don't try? Looking to the future will definitely seem far away, but if you just focus on the present, you'll spend every moment together in the blink of an eye."

"I hope you exist in every single moment."

—A band for life. A community with a shared future.

The two sound similar, but their actual meanings are completely different.

One is about spending every moment together, simply being there for each other. But the most important thing is spending the rest of your life together.

One is entrusting one's life to the other and moving towards a common goal together. Spending the rest of one's life together is secondary.

However, both were very difficult to implement. The latter was a complete failure.

Different experiences, different personalities, different views, the only thing we have in common is our gender. If only we could really be in a band for life, if only we could truly exist in each other's eyes in every moment.

That kind of life would certainly not be boring.

Su Shi picked up her phone; there were no new messages in the chat window. It was unusual for Ai Yin not to message her.

Time keeps moving forward.

""

Su Shi picked up her bass and tried playing it according to the sheet music.

There is no particular reason.

It's just a way to pass the time.

To pass the time, anything is fine, it just so happens that the sheet music and instruments happen to be in my field of vision.

If something else had entered my field of vision at that moment, I would have picked it up and amused myself just the same way.

But after playing, Su Shi still sighed.

"I've gotten rusty."

Although Aine decided to take a few days off, she still did what she was supposed to do.

Practicing piano, studying, and maintaining good relationships with classmates—that's the simple, fulfilling life I lead.

She has adjusted her mindset during this time.

However, by the time Su Shi accompanied her on the long detour, she had already recovered to about 70-80%.

There's still so much to do; how can we let a little emotion stop us from moving forward! Aine clenched her fist.

The restructuring of MyGO is just the beginning.

"So that means I haven't even reached the starting line yet?" she thought to herself with a dry laugh.

The next second, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The teacher assigned today's homework and then quickly left. Students walked out of the classroom one after another, many of them carrying bass or guitar cases, which Ai Yin found deeply enviable.

"I also want to do a live show and increase my popularity!" Aine sighed.

Being good at studying only makes one well-known within the Yuqiu sect.

Playing in a band is the only way to gain popularity outside of Haneoka!

But for now, I should just focus on practicing the piano.

"Aine." The lamp at the front desk immediately turned around, as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Ok?"

"Are you free today?" Deng asked, slightly nervously.

Ai Yin put the book into her schoolbag and smiled, "Yes, what do you need it for?"

Upon hearing her say that, Deng's expression immediately softened.

That's great. If Aine had said she was still busy today, she wouldn't know what to do.

The lamp quickly turned around and pulled a very familiar-looking note out of its bag.

The paper was perfectly smooth, showing that it had been well cared for... It truly felt like a collectible item for the lamp.

She held the note in both hands, showing its contents to Aine, while also covering the lower half of her face, leaving only a faint blush on her cheek.

"You said I could use this scroll to ask Aine to do something," the light said softly.

That's true.

Aine replied frankly, "Hmm! Have you thought about what you want me to do?"

"Hmm," the lamp nodded slightly.

"What is it?" Aine asked curiously.

The lamp put down the paper, blushing, and said, "This... is a secret for now. Could Aine come to my house?"

“Okay.” Aine agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, she went to the lantern's house quite often during her first playthrough.

On the contrary, Deng was surprised. She thought Ai Yin would hesitate for a moment, but she didn't expect her to answer so decisively, as if she had done it many times before.

Does Aine often go to Riki's house?

"Should we invite Riki and Soyorin?" Ai asked, taking out her phone.

"Ah, no need this time. We'll get together with everyone next time."

I always feel that whenever Aine makes a move, it easily turns into a team-building scene.

Deng lowered her head and said softly, "This time, I want to be with Aine, just the two of us."

"Alright, let's go together."

"Ok!"

Deng carefully put away the "Aion Scroll," then packed her schoolbag and left school with Aion. For some reason, she seemed a little nervous the whole way.

Oh right, this is the second time around, and this is my "first" time going to her house. Aine thought to herself.

Previously, Lixi and the others only delivered the lights to the edge of the house; they didn't go inside.

"Tomorin, look at this, isn't it cute?" Aine showed the phone screen.

In the video, a large pet dog is lying on the ground, acting cute.

Such an adorable scene naturally made Deng smile: "Hmm, very cute—"

"Right, right."

"—It sounds a bit like Aine."

Ok?

Aiyin looked at the pet dog in the picture, which was panting and showing its belly to act cute, with a subtle expression on her face.

Where does it look like?

Chapter 39 will be updated today (single update).

"Please come in."

"Excuse me~"

Lamp's parents didn't seem to have returned yet, so Aine followed her into the bedroom first.

The bedroom was much the same as I remembered; the small room was piled with boxes, and the bed, which was integrated with the table, occupied the largest area.

The bed is on top, and the table is below.

If you want to sleep, you have to climb up there, which Aine finds really troublesome.

But the bed is made of very sturdy materials, so there's no need to worry about it collapsing.

The table was filled with bottles and jars containing dried flowers, glass beads, and other small items. The felt board was covered with all sorts of decorations, making it seem like you had entered a private exhibition hall at first glance.

Of course, these are all lamps from my collection.

“Tomorin’s desk and bed are integrated, it feels like a secret base,” Aine said with a smile.

"Hmm, this is perfect for concentrating... Ah, would you like something to drink?"

"Milk is fine."

Deng nodded: "There are some in the fridge, I'll go get them."

There was nowhere else to sit in the room, so Ai Yin simply sat on the floor.

A moment later, Deng returned with a tray containing two glasses of milk, still steaming slightly, clearly freshly heated.

"Please use it," the lamp said softly.

"Thank you! So what exactly does Tomorin want me to do? Now you can tell me, right?" Aine asked curiously, taking a sip of milk.

She didn't think the lantern festival was making any excessive demands.

At most, it's just keeping the lamp company and doing some trivial things, like appreciating penguin bandages.

But surely the school's astronomy department could do this, right? No one would come over anyway.

"Um... wait a moment." Deng was still a little nervous.

"Mmm, take your time, there's plenty of time," Aine reassured him. She didn't want Tou to remain tense, as it would make the atmosphere awkward.

Deng nodded vigorously, stood up, went to her desk, and stared at the pile of notebooks and boxes for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up one of the notebooks.

Ai Yin craned her neck to see what she was going to do, and just then she saw Deng take out the "Ai Yin Roll" and carefully stick the note on the first page of the notebook with transparent tape.

"From now on, I want to use this to record my stories with Aine."

Aine exclaimed in surprise, "A record?"

"Ah."

"May I ask what this record covers?"

"....all."

Not surprisingly.

“I want to remember everything Aine gave me, and all the important moments we shared together.”

Even a casually written note can become a collectible.
