MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"Ah, it's raining," Aine said.

Only then did Lixi notice the faint noises coming from the roof, and the dim light outside the window was blurred by the rain.

It's raining.

Seeing that Riki was staring at the rain outside the window, Aine said, "Don't worry, it won't leak."

It wasn't that she was thinking about such things. But Lixi still nodded slightly.

"The rain is really loud," Li Xi whispered.

"Yes, then let's turn up the volume."

Press the volume button on the side of your phone to increase the volume.

However, since I was only wearing one earphone, no matter how loud I turned up the volume, I could still hear the noisy rain.

Many people can fall asleep to the sound of rain, but this doesn't work for Li Xi, and probably for the lamp or Su Shi as well.

I will always think of the past that I can't forget.

"I," Li Xi couldn't help but speak softly.

"Ok?"

"...I only noticed something today, something I should have noticed much earlier."

Aiyin looked at Lixi.

Lixi whispered, "There are many things I haven't done well. I could have done better, but I haven't grown at all since then..."

“I took my anger out on Lena, and I also lost my temper with that guy... Xiangzi. But I don’t hate them, and I’m not angry at them, I’m angry at myself. I should have done better.”

The sound of rain was still pattering against the windows and roof, and the melody playing on my headphones was gradually fading away.

Aine remained silent for a while.

She could understand Lixi's situation. There were always people who were better than her, and what was most painful was not being inferior to them, but the feeling that she should have been able to do better.

He should have been able to surpass his former self, but he hasn't grown at all.

Ai Yin said in a lighthearted tone, "When I first met you guys, I didn't actually intend to form a band seriously at all."

"Because there are a lot of people in Yuqiu who play in bands, that's why I wanted to form one."

"Then I didn't intend to put in much effort at all. I practiced guitar half-heartedly, thinking that I was a guitar genius just because I could play one or two chords. I wanted to take shortcuts."

“I had already decided to start all over again at that time.”

Lixi hesitated, unable to imagine such a loving voice.

These are all things from the first playthrough, times that only Aine remembers so far.

"That's why Riki always gets angry with me and yells at me all the time. Even though it was training camp, she made me play by myself in a corner—but that's my own fault."

Is this my first playthrough of Ai-ne?

Obviously don't understand anything.

“That’s because she doesn’t understand anything,” Li Xi said in a low voice.

Aine exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're talking about someone else!"

"To me, the me you remember does feel like someone else."

Aine probably doesn't want to hear that kind of talk.

But Li Xi couldn't help but continue, "She can compose a lot of songs, such as 'Shadow Dance' and 'Lost Day'... but I can't even compose a new song. The new song we are playing now was only completed by me forcing myself to finish it."

"I am not satisfied."

"But we can't just stand still..."

Lixi lowered her gaze and looked at her hands.

"But in the end, I haven't changed at all. My so-called efforts may just be lies to deceive myself."

Running desperately is just a way to numb yourself.

Ai Yin played the next song.

"So that's what Riki was thinking."

I felt like I was a completely different person in my first playthrough.

I feel like I haven't grown at all, that I haven't accomplished anything, and that I really hate myself.

"That--"

A soft voice followed.

"Are you going to give up?" Aine asked seriously.

"...I don't want to, but it's precisely because I don't want to that I'm in pain."

If you can let go, you will definitely feel much more relaxed, but where does that "relaxation" come from?

Can that really bring liberation?

Will I be able to breathe the air I want?

"If I give up, I think I will lose something more important."

It will also negate many things.

Even so, she found it difficult to move forward.

“But I can’t go any further.” Lixi lowered her head, her fingertips turning cold.

We've been failing all along.

They keep messing things up.

Even if we want to move forward, how should we do it? Which direction should we go?

do not know.

Seeing Riki so dejected, Aine's heart tightened as well. She reached out and gently turned Riki's face towards her, their eyes meeting for a fleeting moment.

"Lixi, let's try again."

""

Even if we take the wrong path, we must keep moving forward.

Li Xi said softly, "I don't want to go down the wrong path, I don't want to fail again, and I don't want to hurt anyone again."

Aiyin said softly, "Even so, we should keep moving forward."

"why?"

She had expected Aine to say something even gentler.

"Only by moving forward can we surpass ourselves, become stronger, and see further and higher—so that we can better hold other people's hands and heal their wounds."

"Just like you?" Li Xi raised his eyes and looked into Ai Yin's eyes.

"I'm not good enough yet, but I want to keep moving forward. I want to play the guitar better, I want to get better scores, and I want to fulfill my lifelong band promise with everyone."

Aine grasped Riki's hand.

The warmth of my body melted away the chill from my fingertips.

"I want to be with Lixi."

Supporting someone doesn't necessarily mean doing something substantial; simply being there for them is enough. No matter when or where, a slight turn of the head is enough to see them, and the warmth of their skin is within reach.

How heartwarming. Lixi thought to herself.

It was still raining outside the window, but she didn't feel depressed.

Being near Aine, it seemed like I could finally breathe again.

"Ah."

PS: I want to touch it again tomorrow.

Chapter 83 Beyond the Time

The morning sunlight illuminated the room.

Lixi's eyelids twitched slightly, and then she opened her eyes, only to be met with an unfamiliar ceiling.

By the way, I stayed at Aiyin's house last night. She felt a bit dizzy, probably because she didn't get enough sleep. They listened to music and chatted until after 1 a.m. before finally falling asleep.

I tried to get up, but my arms wouldn't obey me, as if I couldn't feel them anymore.

Lixi turned her head and saw that Aiyin was using her arm as a pillow for some reason.

I'm completely numb and can't move at all. This is really bad.

"Hey, Aine, get up."

He shook Aine's shoulder forcefully with his other hand. After a few seconds, Aine rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily:

"Huh? Why is Riki here?"

"Didn't you force me to stay in your house?"

Aine remembered: "Ah—I think there was such a thing...."

"Just get up quickly, my hands are numb. And don't step on my hair."

Aiyin sat up sleepily, picked up her phone and glanced at the time.

7 o'clock, that's pretty early, I can definitely go back to my nest and sleep a little longer.

Lixi lifted her numb left hand, and could clearly feel the blood flowing in her arm, indicating that Aine hadn't been pressing on it for too long.

"How was Riki sleeping?" Aine scratched her head and asked casually.

A glimpse of white was revealed through her open neckline.

Li Xi quickly looked away, touching her neck: "It's alright, it would have been even better if you hadn't pressed down on my arm until it went numb."

"Ahaha, I'm sorry~" Aine gave an awkward laugh, her sharp canine teeth barely visible.

To retract my previous statement, it was already quite good that Aine didn't bite her arm.

Lixi touched her left hand and finally regained some feeling. She also glanced at the time. It was still early, but she had to transfer stations to get to Hanasaki River School.

I need to leave early.

"I'm getting ready to go out," Lixi said.

"So early?"

"You need to transfer here to get to Hanasaki River."

Yeah, that's true. It would be great if Riki was in Haneoka, then they could go to school together.

Ai Yin climbed out of bed: "Then I'll get ready to go out too! This is a rare opportunity, let's go to school together."

"...That's also acceptable."

The two left the bedroom one after the other, went down the stairs, and went to the first floor to wash up.

"You're up really early today. Good morning, Lixi," Aiyin's mother greeted her with a smile as she prepared breakfast.

Lixi was a little uncomfortable: "Uh... Good morning."

Wearing Aine's pajamas, spending a night and a morning at Aine's house, the feeling was indescribably subtle.

After finishing breakfast and changing into her school uniform, Lixi let out a sigh of relief.

After changing her clothes, the subtle feeling disappeared a lot. She picked up her schoolbag and walked out of Ai Yin's bedroom.

"Okay, let's go."

Ai Yin, who was leaning against the wall playing on her phone, nodded: "OK."

After leaving the house, Aine closed the door.

"By the way, Riki, don't you think we look like sisters?"

"what?"

comfortable.
