"No need to rush."
Sure enough, that's what they would say.
Ai-yin and Su-shi's response was exactly what Li-xi had expected, and she was grateful for their gentleness and tolerance.
However, if you can forgive and accept yourself for staying in the same place just because you have plenty of time, you will never make progress no matter what.
Thinking about it this way, Lixi became restless.
“...I’ll go back first,” she said.
I cannot find peace unless I start composing now.
Deng said worriedly, "Lixi...then we should too—"
Aine grabbed the lamp's arm: "Okay~ Riki, is there anything you want to eat? We'll buy it later."
"The devil's claws."
"That's not food, is it?"
"whatever."
"okay, I get it."
Li Xi paused for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry."
Then she turned around and went back the way she came.
Deng couldn't help but say, "Can we not go back with them...?"
"Who knows? But let's do it the way Lixi wants. Concern has to be given at the right time and in the right place, and it has to be done in moderation," Su Shi said softly.
"Just greet Riki with a smile when we get back. Let's go, let's buy some Monster Energy first." Aine's voice was light and cheerful, as if trying to dispel the sudden somber atmosphere.
But as she watched Lixi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a trace of unease still flashed in her eyes.
The rate at which Li Xi's pressure is increasing is terrifying.
No matter how much we try to help her relieve stress, she'll just keep putting it back on herself. So what's the best course of action?
She looked at Su Shi, who shook her head. Clearly, neither of them had an answer.
Lena looked back and forth at them, feeling the lingering, subtle atmosphere, thinking: Sometimes this place is as warm as I remember, and sometimes it's different.
She took a step.
"Hey, wait a minute, Rana? Where are you going?" Aine noticed Rana walking away.
"I'll come back when it's warmer."
"???"
Lena disappeared in no time.
What does "come back when it's warmer" mean? The temperature is still a bit low right now, which is hard for Ai Yin to understand.
As if understanding, Deng said softly, "Lena seems... not to like the atmosphere just now."
"Is that so?"
"Ah."
Su Shi pinched her fingers and said softly, "It seems the future is going to be difficult."
“...That’s right.” Aine sighed deeply.
MyGO may seem harmonious now, but if something really happens, it will fall apart like this again.
Aine put her hands on her hips: "But there's always a way!"
Sometimes I really envy your optimism.
"Because we all actually want to be in a band for life, it's just that none of us are perfect. But if we were perfect, we wouldn't need each other—just like I need tomorin and soyorin."
The lamp nodded seriously: "Let's think about what to do next."
"Do you need me...?" Su Shi grabbed her arm and looked away. "You're right."
She might also need a loving voice.
It's just a possibility.
PS: I wanted to try and get it yesterday, but I ended up getting the treasure chest instead.
Chapter 76 Tatsuki Ikari
About ten minutes later, Lixi called.
“...I don’t have the key,” she said.
Ah... Aine remembered too, the key was with Suze.
After giving Su Shi some instructions and sending Le Nai a message saying "Everyone has gone back to the apartment," the three of them returned to the first floor of the apartment building.
"Laugh if you want to." Li Xi's face flushed slightly, feeling extremely embarrassed.
They said they wanted to go back, but they couldn't even get through the door.
The lamp shook its head: "None of us will laugh at you."
"Yes, Riki, here's the claw you ordered. We also bought some rice balls."
"...Thank you. Where's Lazy Cat?"
Su Shi said, "I don't know where they went, but they should be back soon."
"It's just like a wildcat," Li Xi commented.
“Let’s wait for her here!” Deng said earnestly. MyGO can’t be missing anyone.
We'll be together for life.
No one else objected, and after waiting for about half an hour, Lena returned. Upon closer inspection, her clothes were covered in cat hair.
Li Xi asked uncertainly, "Is she really a cat?"
“How could that be! Ryuna was probably just playing with the cat,” Aine said.
"Yeah, I've played. I'm sleepy."
She really does things her own way. Su Shi thought she would say something about her behavior just now, but Kele Nai seemed completely unconcerned, or perhaps she had forgotten what she had just said.
The lamp seemed to be choked, completely at a loss for words.
Ai Yin wasn't surprised at all and said with a smile, "Then let's all go home?"
"Ah."
"This is my home." — Su Shi wanted to emphasize this again, but she was afraid that emphasizing it countless times would be useless.
On the bright side, at least the house is a bit more lively. Or maybe it's just noisy.
After sleeping soundly at Su Shi's house until noon, and then staying until the afternoon, everyone decided to return to their respective homes.
Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to school, so it's best not to stay here unless absolutely necessary.
"I'm going back now, soyorin, if you feel lonely—"
Su Shi said calmly, "Don't worry, that won't happen."
"--Then I'll call soyorin if I'm lonely."
"Whatever, I might not answer."
Ai Yin smiled slightly, waved goodbye, and quickly followed Deng, Li Xi, and Le Nai.
Su Shi stood at the entrance of the apartment building, watching them walk away, and for some reason, a sigh welled up in her heart.
Back in the living room, sitting on the sofa, Su Shi looked around. It was quiet, and finally couldn't help but sigh softly.
The familiar bedroom and familiar surroundings failed to help Lixi relax.
I finished my homework last night with Aine and the others. Of course, if I didn't finish it, I could just write something down to get by. The most important thing right now is not the questions or the problems others have asked.
It was a problem she had set for herself.
A new week naturally calls for training, but without a new piece of music, Li Xi clenched his fist.
"It has to be sorted out before the next training session."
Perhaps I didn't push myself hard enough to succeed.
She turned on her computer, launched the software, and moved the audio files from her tablet to her desktop. She put on her headphones, and time ticked by, but the resulting piece still didn't satisfy her.
A dull, throbbing pain emanated from my temples.
They should rest.
But I've had enough rest these past two days.
Li Xi murmured again, "And he probably won't be able to rest either."
Was the time spent having fun with the band members happy?
Yes.
Although she didn't say it, Kelixi liked that feeling.
But one cannot become intoxicated by such blissful moments, for that would only lead to drowning, because the most fundamental desire has not been fulfilled, has not been realized—the promise has not been kept, and everything that one should have done has not been done.
If the band wants to continue for a lifetime, it has to keep moving forward.
If I can't do this, then what am I? Li Xi shook hands, feeling a sense of unreality.
We cannot become complacent with happiness. We must continue to move forward. In fact, one could say that happiness is a dangerous thing, and we shouldn't have it at all right now.
Only when you are working hard can you find a little comfort.
Even so, Riki still wanted to call Aine. She just wanted to chat.
"forget it."
She closed the chat window and opened a webpage instead.
The Aiyin Band's account has seen a surge in popularity. Lixi is somewhat curious; there might be reviews of their last performance circulating online.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I opened the account page, and the comments appeared.
Not many, just a few.
I originally went there for other bands, but I unexpectedly found something I liked. I'm rooting for you guys! But bringing an audience member onto the stage to be the lead singer is just too rock and roll.
The pink-haired girl has such a beautiful voice!
The lead singer is working incredibly hard, but if he didn't, it wouldn't have the same feel to it.
Li Xi, who was about to block, moved her finger away.
The reviews were indeed quite positive. A slight smile appeared on her lips; no one wants to feel unappreciated, and she was no exception.
[The costumes are amazing!]
[It takes real courage to expose your embarrassing past, but for adults who have entered the workforce, these are actually minor issues. You don't need to care so much!]
Li Xi muttered, "What a chatterbox! You know nothing. I'm going to block you... mute on you!"
To others, what they do may seem insignificant, and the difficulties they encounter may not seem like much, but all the joy, pain, and confusion they experience leave indelible marks on their hearts.
That is why Aine chooses to confront the past she has been running away from, and to stand on the stage.
The lamp still loudly proclaims its desire to be in a band for life.
Or perhaps it's Su Shi, who was once obsessed but is now silently working hard for MyGO, that makes Li Xi admire and admire her.
"...I really like the bands now."
Therefore, she would never forgive someone who used a condescending tone to negate them.
Keep scrolling down, there's nothing else.
Just as I was about to close it, another comment was added to the comments section.
[Didn't you guys form a band called Crychic before? I remember you guys performing only once, but I was really impressed. It's a shame you guys disappeared after that, which really disappointed me as a fan.]
I was quite surprised to see you guys form a new band! But I still prefer your previous performance of "Spring Shadows." The new style feels a bit strange. Aren't you going to hire a new keyboardist?
Li Xi's eyes widened slightly.
