Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

See? He's in a rush again.

"It's ok."

Yanming did it on purpose, but if he said it outright, someone would bite him. "Saving it for later is the same thing."

"no the same!"

Xiangzi emphasized this, then continued to sulk, "You jerk..."

Actually, she wasn't angry at all.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't bring herself to be angry at Yanming even a little bit.

Just go with the flow, naturally put on this act of feigning anger, and then you can hear his usual concern.

Looking at it this way... I really am a despicable girl.

Humans are really hard to understand, no wonder Little Lamp is always so troubled.

But among so many people, only Yanming's existence could make Xiangzi truly want to learn more about him.

Even the smallest, most insignificant details shine brightly in her eyes.

"are you angry?"

"No……"

"Really do not have?"

"I already said there's nothing left..."

Xiangzi turned his head away, not wanting him to continue secretly looking at him in the rearview mirror, lest his expression give him away in the next second.

"Ugh……"

Yanming sighed and looked ahead. "Let's make this clear first: if I sing badly, you can't say anything to me, because you asked for it yourself."

"...You agree?"

"Don't be angry, try to smile more."

Yanming, as always, gave irrelevant answers.

But there will always be someone who can understand it.

"Okay."

The sound of the engine was stretched out infinitely in the afternoon sunlight.

The locomotive has left the past behind and left the future in the future.

Only in this way can their precious present moment truly be appreciated.

……

……

……

"I am back!"

As soon as she got home, Chihaya Aine ran back to her room and picked up the dusty guitar from the corner.

"Ugh, so dirty... Whew—"

After blowing off the dust, Aine hung it on her body.

Try plucking the strings and try to recall the feeling from your junior high school arts performance.

How was that piece of music played again?

I don't quite remember.

“…Huh?”

A meaningless syllable came from under her hand, leaving Aine completely bewildered.

Before considering the sheet music, the girl hadn't anticipated another new problem arising.

"...It's broken?"

Try again.

The result was still an unpleasant sound.

It's not a problem with the strings or the tuning; the problem lies with the guitar itself.

Perhaps I never cherished this guitar, or perhaps one of its parts had quietly rusted due to prolonged disuse.

In short, it broke.

Furthermore, even with Aine's abilities, she cannot repair it in a short period of time.

"But I need it tomorrow... what should I do?"

Should I buy another one?

Should it be sent to a repair shop overnight?

Neither method is very practical.

Unable to think of a solution on her own, Ai-yin turned on her phone, wanting to place her hopes on the all-powerful internet.

However, a few minutes later.

"Hi everyone, Meow Meow Meow~ Today I'm bringing you another video of Meow Meow's drum solo practice. Before that, let's have a little chat, based on some of the most liked comments from the last video..."

"wrong!"

Ai Yin's eyes widened, and she suddenly slapped her forehead.

Aine, oh Aine, how could you fall so low? Have you forgotten your responsibilities?

Half an hour later.

"Hello everyone, Meow Meow Meow~"

"Miss Meow Dream's videos are really good."

Chapter 132 I really like you.

Because she had been busy dealing with various matters related to studying abroad during the summer vacation, she had missed watching many of Miss Miaomeng's videos.

Now, scrolling back through them one by one, there's a satisfying feeling of catching up on anime series. Even if Aine has strong self-control, she can't resist such temptation for a while.

"Good morning, meow meow..."

"Good afternoon, Meow Meow Meow..."

"Good evening, meow meow..."

Ai Yin watched as Teacher Da Miao twirled the drumsticks in the video and couldn't help but exclaim, "So amazing... Is this really a beginner? It's only been a short time since I last watched her, yet she's already made such a successful transition, and she's still consistently updating her original beauty videos with high quality."

Even in a country like this, where competition is fierce, video bloggers who work so hard like Miaomeng are extremely rare.

"Hello everyone, Meow Meow Meow..."

When people are relaxed, time always seems to fly by.

The guitar issue hadn't been resolved yet, and it was already time for dinner.

"Aion, come downstairs for dinner."

"...Ah!" Ai Yin snapped out of her daze, put down her tablet which was about to shut down, and glanced at the guitar carelessly tossed on the floor. Only then did she realize that her laziness had affected tomorrow's schedule. "I'll be right there!"

I can't keep slacking off like this.

I need to figure out how to resolve the guitar issue after I get back from dinner!

……

After meal.

Ai Yin rubbed her stomach as she returned to her room. She picked up the guitar from the floor and was about to tinker with it again when her gaze shifted to the tablet on the sofa.

Speaking of which... there's only one episode of Meow Dream left to watch. It doesn't seem like a big deal to watch it first and then think about it.

That's a kind of finishing what you start, isn't it? (Big lie)

Having made up her mind, Ai Yin put down her guitar and leaped toward the soft sofa with the movements of a wolf pouncing on its prey. With a nimble turn in mid-air, she landed on the tablet.

Turn on the computer and start it.

All in one go.

"Good evening, Meow Meow Meow. Everyone knows what Meow Meow has been up to lately, right...?"

Because Aine was watching from back to front, she assumed it was just a regular practice video.

Until she spotted a familiar figure in the background.

"..."

silence.

time out.

Zoom in and zoom in again.

This……

"Isn't that Touka-kun?!?!"

Ai Yin emitted another sharp, explosive sound.

The brain triggered a protective mechanism because it couldn't understand what it was seeing, and it immediately shut down.

Why would my classmate hang out with my favorite blogger?

And the girl next to Xiaodengtuo who's wearing lace panties on her head—if you look closely, isn't that Xiangzi?

What's going on here?

Ai-yin's fingers trembled as she pressed the play button again, and Miao-meng's clear voice continued to ring out.

"To be honest, everyone, the Meow Dream band is disbanding after today's live performance..."

"Next up is our band's lead singer..."

Ai Yin watched the video without saying a word, and then the tablet slipped limply from her hands.

She was starting to have doubts about life.

How can the difference between people be so great?

Even though they are the same age, some people can form a band with super popular internet celebrities and stand in the center position.

Some people can only watch their videos while lying at home, and then feel a mix of emotions.

Tomorrow... she's actually going to form a band with such amazing people? But what is she doing right now?

Ignoring things that need to be done leads to wasting time and living a life of leisure.

"A band..."

Ai Yin closed the tablet and picked up the guitar from the ground again.

It's clear that she's still undecided.

……

"Well!"

The migraine caused by staying up all night made Ai Yin unconsciously cover her head.

After getting up from the soft carpet, she subconsciously looked around.

"...In the end, it still couldn't be fixed."

The scattered parts symbolized the results of Ai Yin's all-night effort. Before she succumbed to sleepiness, her phone was still playing a video teaching people how to repair guitars at home.

"I guess I'll just have to go to school like this, there's no other way..."

Helpless, Aine could only tidy up the mess and go brush her teeth and wash up.
