As expected, Riki can't live without that "Huh?"! Although Aine wasn't exactly playing dumb.
Aine brushed a strand of hair away from her face: "I'm the mature older sister, and Riki is the younger sister who often throws tantrums. Although we go to different schools, we still live together and share a room—doesn't that sound like a sister dynamic from an anime?"
Lixi sighed, "I have a real sister, I don't need an imposter."
"To say I'm an imposter is really going too far."
"Not too much."
Aiyin and Lixi walked one after the other, taking their first steps.
"Riki, how about you call me Aine-neechan?"
"Are you still half asleep? I won't wake you."
"Riki is back to how she used to be. I suddenly miss you crying yesterday. It was a hassle, but it was still pretty cute."
Li Xi's face flushed slightly. This guy was using such an incredibly corny nickname and was really taking advantage of her.
Last night, her gentle nature completely vanished, leaving only her infuriating temper.
She nudged Aine's arm silently.
"Ouch! No violence allowed!" Ai Yin exclaimed dramatically.
"I didn't use much force."
"Doesn't Riki know that a person's elbow is a weapon?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested."
Lixi took out her phone; she had been thinking about something all night.
"...Aine, I'd like to revise the sheet music."
It's hard to say, but I have to. She still feels that she can't just use the current piece to get by, even though she still has no clue or inspiration.
Ai Yin had expected this, and said nonchalantly, "I'm fine with anything, but don't underestimate my guitar!"
"Wait until you catch up to Lena's level before you say that."
If Aine has already agreed, then all that's left is to explain it to the others.
Lixi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally made up her mind and sent a message in the group.
[Li Xi: I have something important to say]
[Su Shi: You're talking about this so early in the morning?]
Why is Su Shi always able to reply to messages within ten seconds? Although replying quickly is a good thing.
[Light: Ah, what is it?]
[Lena: ?]
[Li Xi: I want to revise the melody of my new song]
The group fell silent for a while, and then new messages started popping up one after another.
[Su Shi: Understood]
[Light: No problem!]
[Lena: Whatever]
[Su Shi: What did Ai Yin say? Why didn't she say anything in the group chat?]
Lixi looked up and saw that Aiyin wasn't using her phone, but was walking along the lines of the road, her school uniform skirt swaying slightly with each step.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xi replied as follows:
[Li Xi: She said OK]
[Su Shi: You two are still together?]
[Lixi: Is there a problem? It's just on my way to school]
[Su Shi: Not really.]
That's good. It would be strange if Su Shi felt there was a problem, since they didn't do anything special last night.
Thinking this, Lixi touched her palm, as if the warmth of last night was still in her hand, and the melody she heard was still echoing in her ears, even though she didn't pay attention to what the songs were called or which band they were from.
Li Xi couldn't help but call out to her, "Ai Yin—"
"Hmm?" Ai Yin turned around and asked with a smile.
What should I say?
Li Xi really wished they were still wearing headphones together now. If there were those delicate lines connecting them, their hearts would seem to be able to communicate, and they could understand each other without needing many words.
"I still don't like failure, and I don't want to fail."
"But it seems there is no other way but to move forward despite the pain."
Even as boulders continue to fall, we must keep pushing forward despite the pain.
Just thinking about it made Lixi feel heavy-hearted.
But looking up at the sky, even this color is trapped by gravity. How could something as insignificant as her break through gravity and go to a higher world?
After listening, Ai Yin simply said softly, "Yes, but don't worry."
"Riki will never be alone."
Chapter 84 Having a cat at home is like having a treasure
Inside the luxury apartment building on the 45th floor, Su Shi looked at Aine with a helpless expression.
"...Why are you coming to my house again?"
"Isn't it great? Doesn't Soyorin want us to come over and play?"
Not really.
But why do they always have to come to my house? Su Shi shook her head, sighed, and felt that it didn't matter anymore.
Come on, my mother isn't home anyway.
The lamp said softly, "Excuse me..."
Lena headed straight for the refrigerator.
"Does she think my fridge is regularly stocked with snacks?" Su Shi thought to herself.
Lixi wasn't here; Aiyin deliberately didn't call her over. If Lixi were here, their plan would have completely failed.
Because tonight's discussion is limited to the four of them only.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Ai Yin clapped her hands.
"You want to discuss Li Xi's matter, right?" Su Shi asked, serving up a cup of red tea.
"Ah."
Yesterday, Ai Yin had private chats with the three of them and decided to hold an offline discussion today to discuss Li Xi's problem and think about solutions.
Aine knew very well that her previous words alone were not enough.
Now that Lixi has cheered up a bit, she should strike while the iron is hot and try to do as much as possible.
Deng said in a low voice, "I thought Lixi had cheered up, but... she was still forcing herself before."
Su Shi sighed, "I agree with what Deng said, but sometimes words alone are useless."
"Um"
Because no matter how much you want to convey your feelings to the other person, it may still sound like pretty words, empty and ethereal, without any weight.
It is indeed difficult to convey emotions.
"Aine said that when she took you back, she broke down because she slept too much, right?" Su Shi confirmed.
"Yes, that's why I didn't feel comfortable letting her go back alone, so I forced her to stay."
It was the right choice.
If it were Su Shilai, her story might be different, but she would still try her best to keep Li Xi, even if it meant shaking everyone over and forcibly carrying Li Xi away.
She doesn't want the band to break up at all.
But Li Xi and Ai Yin spent the night alone together... Su Shi thought, and felt a little uncomfortable.
If only Aine had called her directly for help back then, Su Shi could have taken Li Xi home instead of letting Li Xi stay overnight at Aine's house.
But I can't be like Aine, able to cheer Riki up. Su Shi thought again.
When it comes to winning a woman's heart, Aine is simply a genius.
"Soyorin, are you talking badly about me?" Aine had a vague feeling that way.
"No~" Su Shi said with a slight smile.
I'm thinking about it 100%!
Ai Yin pursed her lips, but still got back to the main topic: "But personality issues are actually quite difficult to resolve."
Deng Shen felt the same way: "Yes, Li Xi always felt that she was inferior to others, even though that's not true. Li Xi also has her own strengths, but because she kept denying herself, this needle went deeper and deeper into her heart."
Su Shi also expressed her thoughts: "It is a very painful thing to want something but not be able to have it."
Especially when you realize that no matter how hard you try to have it, you can't hold onto it.
"Letting go will make things easier—no one can be sure about that. There are many cases where letting go can lead to lifelong regret."
"Does Soyorin regret it?" Ai asked.
He asked the question knowing the answer already. Su Shi casually replied, "If Crychic could really be resurrected, I wouldn't be standing here. Whether I want to or not, I won't get what I used to pursue."
"...But I didn't think the band was bad either," Su Shi added.
Both the lamp and Aine smiled when they heard this.
That's so dishonest. They could have just said they liked the band.
Lena, eating potato chips, said, "Troublesome person."
“You don’t need to tell me.” Su Shi frowned, displeased.
The topic had gone off track, so Su Shi decided to bring it back.
Otherwise, I'll definitely have to say something to her that she doesn't want to hear again.
"The main reason why Lixi has become like this is because she lacks ability," Su Shi said frankly.
"Wow, that's really harsh. Can I record this?" Ai Yin asked.
We'll find an opportunity to release it later, say five or ten years from now. Li Xi and Su Shi's reactions will definitely be very interesting.
Su Shi glared at her.
Aine could only chuckle awkwardly: "It's not so much a lack of ability, but rather a lack of experience, right? She thinks she's amazing in her first timeline, but in reality, Riki in her first timeline also got to that level through constant attempts and hard work."
Su Shi said, "No, it's just a lack of ability. She keeps comparing herself to Xiangzi, but Xiangzi's composing ability is far beyond her reach."
They really showed no mercy whatsoever.
If Lixi were there, they might have started arguing.
Deng also felt that Su Shi had gone a bit too far: "Su Shi"
Lena agreed, saying, "I think so too."
"Rakuna...?" Lamp's eyes widened.
“But it’s okay.” Lena licked her fingers.
Su Shi nodded slightly.
"Just like what Lena said, what does it matter if we lack ability? Don't forget—we are a band, a whole. We don't have one pair of hands, but five pairs of hands, five mouths, five minds... But Lixi overlooked this point."
The lamp understood Su Shi's meaning.
Yes, the root cause of Lixi's transformation is her lack of ability, coupled with her inability to rely on others. She always tries to shoulder everything herself.
"Aiyin's guitar skills are terrible, his taste in names is awful, he's sometimes noisy, and he likes to lie and pretend to be asleep."
