A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Just a few days ago, she was still worried that Aoi might never join the band again, and was still afraid that the band might break up again.

But now, none of this matters anymore.

Because the most terrible thing in the world has happened.

At this moment, what she realized was not the heavy thing of "death".

Instead, I simply thought of the clear and pure smile on Aoi's face, her gentle and soft voice, the graceful and melodious violin music, her emerald green eyes, and her fragrant beige hair...

All of this disappeared from this world forever.

She could no longer see Aoi smiling at her, could no longer hear Aoi talking to her, could no longer feel Aoi's company, and had completely lost all future related to Aoi.

She will never see Aoi again...

Is death really such a simple thing?

It's just that we will never meet again, it's that simple...

They are separated forever.

Her senses returned one by one, and the pain in her brain was almost uncontrollable. Blood flowed out of her nose again, and the pain made her kneel down involuntarily and fall to the ground.

Her consciousness finally faded away, and until the last moment, her eyes were still looking at Aoi's smiling face in the portrait.

Ahhh...

葵。

Maybe I have fallen in love with you a long time ago.

Although, there is no possibility of saying this again.

Chapter 1 Simulating the If Line: I won’t run away anymore.

That day, after Xiao Kui ran away, Chihaya Aine felt that her life was completely shattered.

She always thought that others were troublesome, so would she become the trouble in others' eyes one day... She didn't know. After all, she didn't dare to think about whether Xiaokui was referring to her when she said "I'm so troublesome" that day, and what she was talking about.

This may just be a small conflict between ordinary friends, not too serious and will not have any consequences.

Aiyin thought wishfully.

But the next day, Xiaokui did not come.

There was no trace of her in the recording studio, and even the message did not become read. It was as if the girl had disappeared from the world, with no sign of reappearance.

The gray sky, the gloomy recording studio, everything seemed to have fallen to the bottom, no longer as sunny and full of hope as usual.

It seems that from this moment on, the story will no longer be that sunny story.

Maybe Aoi was busy with other things, or maybe she was just delayed by something unexpected, so she didn't come. As long as I wait until the next day, I will definitely be able to see Aoi.

But... she didn't know what was wrong with her. It was as if she had fallen back into the same state as she was in London, desperate to escape.

She knew clearly what was right and what was wrong, but she still chose to escape.

On the third day, Aine did not choose to go to the practice room. Just like the time in London, she ran away again.

This is not right, this is wrong.

She knew it all, and she also understood that if she ran away, it would only make things worse.

She still didn't know how to face them. They had already decided to walk together for the rest of their lives, but she was like a coward, shrinking and trembling. When she thought about facing Xiao Kui again and having to face up to what she had said, she couldn't help but want to close her eyes, cover her ears, and completely ignore it all.

There were many options, but she chose the worst one.

She escaped again...

On the fourth day, Aiyin continued to be decadent at home. She didn't want to touch the guitar or do anything. She just spent the day lying in bed doing nothing.

I didn't think about the band or the music, and I couldn't even muster the energy to do what I used to love most, which was sending harassing messages to Su Shi. I just wanted to spend the day lying in bed doing nothing.

Just lie flat like this, as if you are already a corpse, just needing quiet little things and nothing else.

But she didn't escape for long.

At a certain moment, she suddenly felt a palpitation, as if an invisible hand was strangling her heart, causing her to cover her chest and climb up with a slight breath.

It's raining outside the window.

Drops of water hit the window, and countless water marks slid down the glass. For a moment, the only thing that could be seen was the world shrouded in a gray mist.

heavy rain.

On a rainy day like this, no one would go out, right?

The palpitations just now were probably just an illusion...

With this in mind, Aine continued to lie down and began to browse her phone, letting the screen light up her lifeless and dim pupils.

The fifth day is the day for class.

She was finally forced to walk out of the little nest where she used to escape everything, facing the newly blooming sunshine and blue sky, feeling the breeze by her ears, but she did not feel relaxed at all.

She should take care of the band's affairs and Xiaokui's affairs...

She should apologize, apologize to Aoi, apologize to everyone. Obviously, if she just stood up and explained everything, everything would be solved, right?

What on earth has she been struggling with during this period of time?

For a moment, such regret filled her mind, causing her to involuntarily quicken her pace and almost run into the school.

She wanted to see Xiaokui immediately...

She wanted to tell Xiaokui that she was sorry and that what she said that day was just a joke. She didn't care who was more important in Xiaokui's heart. She just wanted to play in the band happily with Xiaokui.

She didn't want to break up with Xiaokui because of this issue, she just wanted to continue being friends with Xiaokui.

Just like that, she ran all the way, and when she finally rushed to Class C's classroom, she saw that Xiaokui's seat was still empty. Obviously, everyone else had basically taken their seats, but Xiaokui's seat was empty.

Xiaokui still hasn’t come today?

Maybe, just maybe I was late for something.

Aiyin comforted herself in this way and slowly returned to her class. She didn't even pay attention to the gaze cast by Deng, but just sat in her seat in silence.

For some reason, that palpitating feeling came back again, as if something important had left, but she was completely unaware of it and could only endure the torture of anxiety and sadness that came from nowhere.

There were some things she would never be able to find again.

What is it? Why is it so hard...

This feeling has been bothering Aiyin, and it couldn't be dispelled even when it was time for class. While she was still trying to suppress the emotions in her heart, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in a black kimono passing by the classroom door and window, with a beige shadow, and it quickly disappeared from the corner of her eye.

Aine's body froze almost instantly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she turned to look towards the classroom door.

Is it Xiaokui?

No, she saw clearly that there was indeed a woman wearing a black kimono and with beige hair outside the window, but... in terms of height and temperament, the woman outside the window was much more mature than Xiaokui, with less purity and vitality, and more charm and coldness. She looked like an enlarged version of Xiaokui.

That is, Aoi's mother?

Aine stood up involuntarily, wanting to take a closer look at the figure outside the window.

"What are you doing, Chihaya-san?"

The teacher's voice rang in her ears, and Aine realized that she was still in class.

But, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all. Compared to the class, Aoi is a hundred times more important...

She barely had time to respond to the teacher, only to say, "I'm sorry, I'll explain."

He rushed out the door, following the figure in the black kimono.

Why do you do this?

Why did she chase out?

What on earth am I doing now?

Aine's heart was filled with confusion and anxiety.

Finally, perhaps having heard her footsteps, the elegant lady quickly stopped and turned her head slightly. Her beige hair fluttered, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful face. She gave Aine a puzzled expression.

Her eyes were red and her skin was pale. Even from her expression, it could be seen that she had not slept well in the past few days. She looked haggard and depressed, as if the most precious thing in the world had been easily thrown to the ground and shattered.

"Hello, are you Xiaokui's friend?"

Before Aine could speak, the lady nodded slightly at her and said, "Excuse me... I saw your photo in the album left behind by my daughter."

Eh?

what?

Aine opened her mouth, but no sound came out, and she didn't know what to say because she didn't understand what the lady meant for a moment.

What do you mean, an album of my daughter’s belongings?

Aine was completely stunned on the spot, like a statue, staring blankly at Aoi's mother, but she couldn't help but hear the words from this lady that were extremely cruel to Aine.

She said, "...I'm so sorry, and it may be cruel to you, but Aoi is no longer with us. Her memorial service will begin tomorrow... I think Aoi would really like to see you attend her funeral, because you are her best friend, right?"

After saying that, he bowed to Aine and said, "I still have to pack up Aoi's things at school, so I won't stay with you for long."

Eh?

Eh……?

A memorial service? What is that?

mischief?

Whose memorial service?

What happened to Aoi?

Why do you say this?

Isn’t Aoi fine?

A few days ago, they were still practicing together and laughing together...

Isn’t Aoi smiling healthily?

Aine couldn't believe what she heard. She felt her head buzzing, her ears rang uncontrollably, and her whole world seemed to be turned upside down.

My heartbeat started to quicken, my breathing became rapid, and my vision gradually began to go dark.

Will not.

No way?

How is that possible...

Because, Xiaokui... was practicing with them a few days ago, going on vacation together, soaking in hot springs together, looking forward to the future together, and writing a lifelong vow together.

Xiaokui...

Xiaokui won't leave.

Aiyin knelt weakly on the ground, tears streaming silently.

The scene of her last meeting with Aoi floated up uncontrollably and flashed before her eyes.

That's it.

That's right...

In Aoi's last moments, in her last encounter with Aoi in her life, what she said to Aoi was "Who is more important, me or Su Shi?"

Is it because of her?

It's because of her... Aoi...

She didn't know what happened, nor did she understand what happened. She only knew that everything was out of control since she lost control and asked that question.

Perhaps, if she hadn't scared Aoi away, none of this would have happened.

Perhaps, if she had actively admitted her mistake and found everyone and Aoi in time to deal with the problem, none of this would have happened.

Perhaps, if she hadn't met Aoi from the beginning, none of this would have happened.

is her……
