Also.

Aine will absolutely not allow me to give up. Su Shi smiled.

"...But I haven't asked yet, why did you touch my face yesterday—"

Su Shi's expression froze, and she immediately hung up the phone.

Although I won't leave the team, I will leave the chat.

As for the messages Aine sent, she simply read them all without replying. This might be a bit much, but Aine deliberately bringing it up at this time was also quite malicious.

We're both pretty much equal, so there's no problem.

Chapter 97 You are not, I am not, then who is?

Why did Suze touch my face? Aine was still pondering this question.

Moreover, whether it was touching her hand or her face, it was done when she was completely unprepared.

"Don't leave me." — Su Shi said this while she was asleep.

Honestly, it's embarrassing.

In my first playthrough, Suze would never do such a thing... probably.

Even if Su Shi now recalls more of her memories from the first timeline, she will not become the same as she remembers. The familiar relationships seem to be undergoing subtle changes.

But it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?

"That being said, touching my face while I'm asleep..."

It's still a bit perverted, as expected.

If Su Shi could let her touch it back, then the matter could be settled.

All the messages I sent were marked as "read but not replied to," and I felt that Su Shi wouldn't accept this so easily.

"Aine, let's go." Deng finished packing her things.

"Ah."

Upon arriving at the first floor of RiNG, the rest of the band members were already there.

Li Xi crossed her arms: "Too slow. Next time, come earlier, don't arrive right on time."

"Yes, yes, but whether the road is crowded or not is not something we can control."

Ai Yin responded casually, her gaze naturally falling on the silent Su Shi's face.

Su Shi did not look at her.

"...What's wrong with you guys?" Li Xi asked, puzzled.

"Nothing." "Nothing at all." Su Shi and Aine responded in unison.

But this only made Lixi more confused. If there was nothing wrong, why was there such a subtle atmosphere?

"If you've had a fight, make up quickly," Lixi added.

If that doesn't work, then witness the three of them's exhilarating bond skills.

Anyway, no matter who blows it up, the others will all join in.

Su Shi sighed, "There was no argument."

"Hmm, we didn't argue. Oh, right, Riki." Aine suddenly had an idea.

"What is it? Training is about to start, so hurry up and say what you need to say..."

Ai asked curiously, "Can I touch your face?"

"Eh?"

""

Li Xi reacted the most, blushing as she said, "Huh!? How could that be? I don't have that kind of orientation! If you want to touch it, just touch your own face. Everyone has these things, why do you want to touch mine?"

Wow, that's a huge reaction.

However, it's understandable to think that way. Putting aside holding hands, touching the face is definitely...

Su Shi said nonchalantly, "Li Xi, your prejudice is too much."

"what?"

Prejudice? This is hardly prejudice.

Li Xi said bluntly, "Where is this prejudice? It's strange no matter who touches someone else's face."

"That's right!" Ai Yin nodded repeatedly, but all she received was Su Shi's piercing gaze and Li Xi's subtle look.

Didn't you just try to touch my face?

Su Shi smiled and tried to persuade her, "Isn't it strange to think that holding hands is the same as being in a relationship, and touching the face is the same as having different sexual orientations? Physical contact is a form of communication."

Li Xi seemed to be deep in thought.

"In some countries, girls will hold hands even if they don't have any romantic feelings for each other, and they might even kiss on the cheek," Su Shi added, "popularizing knowledge."

"Why do you know so much about this?" The others seemed to be saying this in their eyes.

Su Shi's ears felt slightly hot. If she didn't refute Li Xi's point of view, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that Li Xi was right?

So when she touched Aine's face yesterday, wasn't that like saying "I am Aine!"?

She didn't mean that.

They couldn't let the other members of the band think that way either—but in the end, it was all Aine's fault for suddenly telling Riki she wanted to touch his face out of the blue. Sure enough, Riki still disliked Aine.

“You’ve already said it’s overseas, so how can we ignore local perspectives?” Li Xi said confidently.

"Does that mean Lixi wants to live according to other people's opinions?"

"...No, that's not it. Wait, why did it turn into this kind of topic?"

Su Shi pressed on, saying, "What others think is their business, isn't it? As long as we know in our hearts that it's not like that, isn't that enough?"

"So why did the topic turn into this?" Li Xi sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Aine blinked. So that's what Suze was thinking.

But since she was so aware that holding hands or touching faces could easily be misunderstood, she still did it... and she herself cared a lot about such things.

I always feel that there are contradictions everywhere, which makes it hard to understand.

Or is she just trying to justify touching my face yesterday? That would be easy to understand.

"What I'm trying to say is that whether it's holding hands or touching faces, it's not ordinary, but it's not special either. There's no need to look at it with prejudice," Su Shi said calmly.

Li Xi wanted to say something but stopped himself.

It seems to make some sense, yet it also seems like sophistry... But it's true, she and Aine held hands and even slept in the same bed, but she didn't have any impure motives.

As long as you can figure things out yourself, is that all that matters? Perhaps that's true.

But wouldn't that mean—

"So, according to Soyorin, I can touch Riki's face?" Aine asked curiously.

“No,” Su Shi replied immediately.

"Don't push your luck," Li Xi said as well.

Putting aside private matters, it's absolutely unacceptable now.

"Eh--"

What was the purpose of that discussion?

Deng blushed slightly: "Um... I feel that some words cannot convey one's feelings, which is why humans want to touch each other's skin... To deny this from a particular perspective feels... very heavy."

"Not even being able to touch the fingertips of someone you like would make you sad..."

Even though we haven't reached the universe yet, it feels like a black hole is chasing us.

Even though the other party was a lamp, Li Xi couldn't help but say, "Isn't it too frivolous to be so sure?"

“Yes,” Su Shi agreed.

Lena glanced at Su Shi: "Su Shi, which side are you from?"

“Yeah! You’ve been stirring things up since just now, contradicting and agreeing, agreeing and contradicting, it’s so strange,” Li Xi said in a low voice.

"Your teacher must have taught you that you can't look at things from only one perspective. It's better to take the middle path than to lean towards an extreme."

Su Shi spoke without blushing or skipping a beat, but her gaze wandered.

The lamp said softly, "I...I don't want that kind of frivolous touching...Of course, not everyone can do that, and it's not something that can be done anytime. But if I wanted to be touched, I would still hope that the other person would reach out their hand..."

It inexplicably turned into a chaotic chat session.

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Alright, alright, we'll just be wasting time if we keep chatting—"

The next second, Li Xi and Su Shi glared at them.

“It’s all because you made that weird request!” Lixi said.

“Aine has no right to say such things,” Su Shi said.

Ai-yin could only awkwardly scratch her head and say, "Haha."

Can't refute.

But you can't blame me, can you? I just wanted to ask if I could touch Lixi's face; isn't it normal to want to see my friend's reaction? It's Su Shi who's being so secretive that's strange.

Lena lay listlessly on the sofa and said, "Hurry up and start..."

Otherwise she would be bored to death.

That's it! Ai Yin had another idea and took out a bag of gummy candies from her bag.

"Lena, here you go."

Lena regained some of her energy, grabbed the candy, and put it in her mouth.

"Can I touch Ryuna's face now?" Aine asked curiously.

"what?"

Lena nodded. It wasn't a big deal. The kind upperclassmen she met at school would even pat her on the head.

"Great, as expected, Rana is so well-behaved." Aine reached out her hands to rub Rana's face.

However, in the next instant, Lixi grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Stop wasting time, get started training! Lena, stop lying down."

"Wait, Riki, don't pull my collar like that—I haven't gotten my guitar yet...."

Lixi dragged Aiyin into the recording studio, and Lenai followed, pulling her suitcase.

Deng grabbed Ai Yin's guitar bag and was about to catch up when she heard Su Shi sigh beside her.

I shouldn't have touched Aine's face yesterday.

P.S.: Happy New Year in advance! I want to touch it tomorrow.

Chapter 98: Dedicating His Allin to the Band

a few days later.

"It's about time to work on a new song," Li Xi said after training.

"Now? Isn't that too hasty?" Su Shi asked.

Ai Yin also wanted to ask this, but Li Xi just shook her head slightly.

“The production cycle of a song is very unstable. It is precisely because there is still a long time before the next performance that I need to prepare now. I don’t want to rush to finish it before the official performance.”

Li Xi added, "Always thinking that there is plenty of time and we can take it slow may result in wasting time and ultimately leading to failure."

Lena concluded, "The more time you have, the less time you have."

"What did you summarize...? But anyway, that's how it is. Light, please do the lyrics, Ai Yin, do the new stage costumes, and I'll do the new music."

The lamp nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Ai Yin gave a thumbs up: "OK~ Leave it to me, I'll make sure everyone looks their best!"
