MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"....yes."

Being together all the time, without anyone having to search for anyone, and without needing to be found to find happiness, is the best kind of happiness.

This is probably why Lena thought the movie she watched a few days ago was boring.

Rather than one person searching for another, it's better to not need to search for each other.

As expected, Rana has quite a talent for philosophy? Aine couldn't help but pat Rana's head.

"As expected of Lena, she's very clever!"

"Mm." Lena gladly accepted the compliment.

While chatting casually, she ate her ice cream little by little. Finally, she enjoyed the perfect finishing touch—the cone—and let out a satisfied sigh.

"It tastes good, but my tongue still feels cold."

Lena stared at her intently.

Ai Yin asked疑惑地问道：“What's wrong? Le—”

"Nai." The word remained unspoken, replaced by an unwritten silence.

Then, Lena said cheerfully, "It's not cold now."

"...That's right."

Aine touched her lips, but was it really necessary to warm her up like this? Although it felt nice.

"It's time to go back, we need to do a live stream." Le Nai stood up.

"Lena is acting like nothing happened..."

Lena tilted her head slightly, as if asking if there was anything wrong with her behavior just now. Aine sighed helplessly, then took Lena's hand and started walking home.

Lena stared at their clasped hands.

Once you're held back, you can't go wherever you want. You no longer have freedom.

But if she had to choose between "agonizing freedom" and "comfortable constraints," she would now only choose the latter.

Because it's more important.

As Lena was thinking this, she noticed a flash of color in her peripheral vision and reached out to grab it without thinking.

When I open my hand, there is a flower petal.

"flower"

"After all, spring is coming soon~ and there are flowers that can thrive even in winter, so maybe it's a good omen!" Aine said cheerfully.

Lena held a flower petal in her hand, lost in thought.

Sending flowers might be a good option.

Chapter 172 Flashing Flower

"Send flowers?"

Facing the gazes of the other three, Lena scooped up a parfait with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

She nodded: "Yes, flowers."

The lamp hesitated for a moment, then said, "But...flowers will wither...it won't last long."

"What about dried flowers?" Su Shi rubbed her fingers together, pondering the same question.

Indeed, if you're going to be in a band for life, it would be better to give a gift that can be kept for a long time, right?

But I didn't expect it to be Lena who gave the advice. Did something happen when she was doing a live stream with Aine?

But she kept watching the live stream, and the two of them didn't do much besides chatting, singing, and playing guitar. Maybe it happened outside of the live stream?

Looking at Lena again, she was still immersed in the deliciousness of the parfait.

...Whether it's true or not, it doesn't change the fact that they're now entangled in a complicated relationship.

Lixi took out her phone and looked through the options: "I don't think we can come up with a more suitable gift. Let's leave it at that and not delay any longer. As for whether it should be fresh flowers or dried flowers, we'll go to the florist and see."

“Then let’s go after training,” Su Shi said.

The four looked at each other and nodded slightly in unison.

Of course, we have to keep it from Aine.

If she finds out, it won't be a surprise anymore—even though the plan has been exposed, we still have to hold onto the last bit of surprise.

Just then, footsteps approached.

"The recording studio is available now, everyone hurry over!" Ai Yin waved.

Lixi stood up: "Coming right now, Lenai, hurry up and eat too..."

"I'm ready." Lena licked her lips.

Su Shi and Li Xi stared wide-eyed. Where did that full cup of parfait go?

"Lenai, you can eat so much..." Deng exclaimed.

"Being able to eat is proof of good health," Lena said.

After the training ended, the four pretended to disband, and then, without prior arrangement, changed direction on the way and arrived at the flower shop that Lixi had pointed out, taking different roads.

Lixi looked around: "Aine probably didn't secretly follow us, did she...?"

"Don't worry, if she really wants to follow, she'll just stick close to her back, without any distance between them," Su Shi sighed.

"What flowers... should I send?" Deng asked, troubled.

Fresh flowers or dried flowers?

Fresh flowers will eventually wither, and dried flowers, though lasting, lack a sense of life. But Deng knew very well that this was his opinion, and others might not feel the same way.

She looked at the others, but none of them could give an answer immediately.

“…Let’s have some flowers.” Su Shi finally spoke softly.

She had indeed thought that dried flowers would be more suitable and last longer.

But thinking of the phrase Aine often said, she still thought flowers were the best.

"Reason?" Li Xi asked.

"Flowers may not last long, but that gives us a reason to keep sending them, doesn't it? Once or twice a year, and keep going—"

It accumulates moment by moment.

Deng's eyes lit up: "It's for a lifetime!"

"Correct."

Lixi thought it made sense, just like her plan to give Aiyin a hair clip every year, and that would accumulate over a lifetime.

"What about the color?" Lena tilted her head slightly.

Colors? The colors will naturally be different, just like their band.

Each of the five people has their own unique style.

Lixi looked around, reached out her hand, and chose—the red flower.

This fiery red color is a true reflection of her feelings for Aine... Yes, just like...

"Huh? You invited the Lights Band? That's terrible!"

Why did I think of this?

Li Xi's expression crumpled as memories flooded back. It wasn't bad to recall things from the first timeline, but why did she have to remember the worst first encounter at this particular moment?

The lamp seemed to be deep in thought, and picked up a purple flower.

"Let's...get lost together."

Ah... Lamp slightly opened her mouth. She remembered. Not only at the aquarium, but she had also talked with Aine on the rooftop. They had made a promise to each other that even if they got lost, they would continue on their journey.

Su Shi pulled her hair back and immediately spotted the yellow flowers. Bright but not dazzling.

Just like that pink-haired one.

She picked out the yellow flower, and a familiar voice seemed to echo in her ears.

"Come on, let's all have a good talk!"

The remaining memories surfaced in her mind, and Aine did the same things as she did in the first playthrough.

Clearly, one can easily fulfill their desires without getting entangled with them.

"If only I had met her sooner," Su Shi thought.

Lena chose white flowers, for no particular reason, she just liked the pure and flawless color.

She didn't care about the memories that flashed before her eyes.

What matters is the present and the future. Besides—the parfait now tastes far better than the one from the first playthrough, so why worry about the taste from the past?

"...Has everyone made their choices?" Li Xi asked, snapping out of her daze.

"Yes, and my head is filled with a bunch of memories that make me want to crawl into the ground. I remember them all." Su Shi sighed.

Li Xi said, "Me too, but that was in the past."

Su Shi nodded slightly. Since they had decided to move forward, it would be ridiculous to look back and cling to the past.

Not forgetting doesn't mean clinging to it and refusing to let go.

There is only one thing we must hold onto now and in the future: each other's hands.

“However, we’ve really been through a lot,” the lamp said softly.

Su Shi said, "Isn't that why we give gifts to express our gratitude?"

The lamp nodded vigorously.

The selected flowers are handed to the shop assistant for packaging and arrangement into bouquets.

Different colors cling together, intertwining, and their destination is the hands of someone who shines even brighter and is gentler.

—"Flash Flower". This name was born naturally from the heart of the lamp.

It is a flower that shines with gentle colors.

"Flash Flower? Is this the new song?" Ai Yin asked curiously, looking at the lyric booklet.

"Ah."

Li Xi also said, "The piece this time isn't very difficult. Everyone should practice as much as possible and you'll master it quickly. There are only a few days left until the performance, so everyone should focus and stop thinking about having fun."

Ai Yin looked troubled: "Ah~ I haven't had enough fun yet and I have to do extra practice."

But that's what makes Li Xi more like her.

"You can do whatever you want after the show, so don't complain." Su Shi picked up the bass.

"Yes Yes."

Aiyin adjusted the equipment and looked at the others.

Lixi raised his drumsticks and counted, "One, two, three—"

Then came the day of the performance.

Chapter 173 The Guitarist Who Receives Love Center Stage

Backstage preparations are underway indoors.

Ai Yin stroked her chin, paying close attention to the box in the corner.

"Lena, what's in the box?" she couldn't help but ask.

Lena dragged the box over, but judging from how easily she moved it, it didn't seem to contain any musical instruments or other heavy objects.

Lena rested her head on Aine's lap, closing her eyes to rest, and casually replied, "Life."

"Don't say such terrible things!"

They are a girl band, not the protagonists of a horror movie.

This only made Aine more curious about what was in the box, but Lixi explicitly forbade her to open it, so she couldn't do it herself.
