She glanced at Aine and noticed that Aine was also observing them.
...We cannot slow down.
Li Xi said earnestly, "No problem, don't worry."
These words were said more to Aine than to anyone else.
People only think about slowing down when they encounter difficulties or feel tired.
Regardless of what Aine said yesterday, she didn't want Aine to worry too much about the band—only by continuing at the original pace could she avoid causing Aine any anxiety.
Moreover, the band itself is indeed without fault.
There's just a... complicated situation regarding her relationship with Aine.
"Hmm, no problem!" Deng didn't think much of it, just felt that the task wasn't too difficult.
""
Lixi was indeed very thoughtful. She thought to herself that if it weren't for her, Aine might have started dating Lixi, since Lixi had been the one supporting Aine throughout this playthrough.
In this way, neither Aine nor she will feel pain, and Aine will not collapse.
"What are you doing? Stop staring at people without saying a word," Li Xi asked, puzzled.
And he was playing with his fingers.
He's definitely thinking about something again.
"...just some trivial things."
At this point, thinking about it again is pointless.
Ai Yin, who had been observing the two of them, seemed to be deep in thought.
After the celebration, Lixi did not offer to take Aine home as usual, but instead grabbed Sushi's arm.
"I still have to go to work later, Su Shi."
"Ok?"
Li Xi hesitated for a second, then said softly, "You deliver the love song."
"Why?" Su Shi could tell that Li Xi had other intentions.
"Because I don't have time."
She was lying. Su Shi saw through Li Xi's lie at a glance, because she was really bad at lying; even the slightest change in her face betrayed her.
"...Is this a good idea?" Su Shi asked casually.
Did Lixi really accept the method Aiyin mentioned yesterday?
There really wasn't a better option, but Su Shi didn't expect Li Xi to agree so quickly.
"The most important thing is the band; no one can be overlooked," Li Xi replied.
"That's not what I asked."
"But this is my answer. Whether it's Aine, you, or Akari, Rakuna... if there's something to say, we have to make it clear."
Su Shi looked at Li Xi quietly. Although he still spoke his mind without any politeness, and his appearance had not changed at all, just like during the Crychic era, he seemed much more composed.
"As long as you don't regret it."
Li Xi let out a breath: "You don't need to tell me."
She then walked over to Aine, said a few words, and left decisively.
Su Shi walked to Ai Yin's side: "Shall we go?"
"OK, it feels like it's been ages since I went home with Soyorin."
Uneven footsteps echoed softly.
"Riki asked you to come and see me off?" Aine asked.
"Even if you don't want to, you can't change it."
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to, soyorin is still the same as always.”
The unintentional words pierced Su Shi's heart.
Same as always. No changes. Unlike Lixi—does that mean it's not as good as Lixi?
She was well aware of this, having previously gone to great lengths to revive Crychic, even putting pressure on Mu on numerous occasions...
Most importantly, he even hurt the person he liked the most.
It's truly unbearable.
"Wait, Soyorin, don't walk so fast!"
Ai-yin grabbed Su-shi's hand.
At this moment, Su Shi realized that she had unconsciously quickened her pace.
She shouldn't have done that. She stopped in her tracks.
"That--"
Su Shi turned around and held Aine's hand tightly.
hurts a little.
But Aine silently took her hand back, and the warmth she gave made Su Shi frown even more.
This was the first time Aine had ever seen someone want to hold hands, but then actually do so and then frown, so much so that it seemed like she really disliked holding hands with someone. If you ate a sweet treat with that expression, even the sweetest treat would taste salty.
Even under these circumstances, Aine couldn't even let go, because Suze had no intention of letting go at all.
"—Why aren't you angry?"
"Eh?"
"What are you saying?" Aine asked, confused. "Should I be angry? Soyorin is just thinking..."
It hurts!
Su Shi suddenly increased the force, and Ai Yin's expression changed slightly.
"...Does Soyorin think I should be angry?" Aine asked again.
"should."
"Because of what?"
"...I'm the one who caused you to collapse."
Aine paused, then shook her head: "Soyorin only couldn't help herself because she was hurt. Nobody's at fault—"
"That's enough. Don't be so gentle with me!" Su Shi whispered.
If there's nothing wrong, then why did it turn out that way?
If you're wrong, why aren't you angry?
Does Soyorin want me to be angry?
"....right."
"OK then."
Upon hearing this, Su Shi couldn't help but look at her.
“I’ll be angry. Soyorin is really something, making such a request. It’s really difficult for him.”
Will you get angry? What are your demands?
It was clearly not a request. Su Shi said softly, "I didn't ask you anything."
"Then what was that just now?"
"Truthfully."
"So what exactly does Soyorin want me to do? He wants me to be angry, but he also doesn't want me to be angry. I don't know what to do—"
How to do?
Su Shi loosened her grip and whispered, "Come to my house."
"Huh?" Aine wondered if she had misheard.
“I said, come to my house.”
Ai Yin snapped out of her daze and smiled, "That's fine."
Because you'll agree to do whatever they ask you to do?
Even if they didn't want to come, they would still say that, right?
P.S.: To see the images in the interstitial posts, you have to go into the book yourself and subscribe. The more updates, the more you pay—what kind of twisted logic is that?
Chapter 142 A Balanced Diet of Meat and Vegetables is Healthy
The world is unusually strange today.
Aine was slightly nervous, but she had already decided that she would agree to whatever their request was.
If you want her to get angry, she will get angry; if you want her to unbutton her clothes... well, that's all she can do.
I can only hope that Su Shi won't do such a thing, at least not today.
Ding-dong. The elevator has arrived.
Su Shi opened the door without saying a word: "Come in."
"Um"
It always feels like I'm doing some weird or strange job.
Ai Yin stepped into the entryway first, and the next second, she heard the door close behind her. Her whole body tensed up.
Su Shi hugged her from behind.
—This did not happen.
Su Shi simply changed her shoes, then went to the living room first, turned on the TV, and the image of two girls snuggling together looking at the starry sky immediately appeared on the screen.
"Soyorin is actually watching this kind of anime?" Aine's expression was subtle.
"...I just changed the channel to the wrong one."
Press the remote control, and the screen changes again.
Su Shi added, "Don't misunderstand, that animation isn't some strange subject matter. It's just that everyone seems to like having girls who have no romantic feelings sticking together."
"Friendship?"
"Yes. Black tea?"
Ai Yin smiled and nodded: "Of course, Soyorin's black tea is delicious."
"It's just that the tea is better."
This conversation was nothing special, just like any other.
But Su Shi knew that their relationship could no longer be described as "friendship," and—she was now very unhappy with Aine's smiling face.
They want to destroy.
I want to uncover the truth.
The water gradually boiled, just like her restless state of mind.
How can I make Aine angry?
Once this idea is revealed, Aine will likely be keenly aware of it and then act angry in accordance with her wishes.
When she wants Aine to cry, Aine will cry; when she wants Aine to take off her clothes, Aine will do so.
"Can do anything"—that's the weighty thing to say.
Su Shi thought to herself, turned on the tap, and washed her hands again.
"Please, if it weren't for Xiao Xiang and the others, I..."
Unpleasant memories suddenly flashed before my eyes.
