Ai Yin laughed and said, "Anyway, it's my house that's been ransacked, so it's okay, right?"
"Have you lost your mind? Don't talk nonsense," Su Shi said helplessly.
Has his brain been fried? If so, that would be terrible. If it's fried, he can't be number one and become a popular figure.
But Aine did feel a bit dizzy, probably because of the pillow.
She moved her fingers.
Even though it was just a casual touch—or rather, since it was right next to my palm, it was impossible not to touch it—Su Shi still exaggeratedly shuddered.
"Don't move around," Su Shi said, displeased.
"Your request is too unreasonable. I'm not a stone, why should I not move?" Aine said, equally displeased.
Su Shi did not answer.
I thought I wouldn't care, since our heartbeats were both steady and there was no sudden acceleration. Aine's slightly higher body temperature was also merging with my own, and my presence was gradually being diluted.
Unless you consciously try to feel or look at it, you won't feel like you're holding hands.
—This is on the premise that Ai Yin remains still.
The touch of her fingertips against her skin refreshed her senses, forcing Su Shi to confront her reality once more: she was holding hands with the guitarist in her band.
"Is that all right?"
"what?"
"hand."
Ai Yin coughed a few times: "Huh? Didn't you say you'd hold hands for at least ten minutes?"
“I didn’t say that. When I said ten minutes, I meant ten minutes of chatting with Ai Yin, not ten minutes of holding hands, and I didn’t use the word ‘at least.’ Don’t take advantage of this to add unfounded things.”
When her little scheme was seen through, Aine wasn't embarrassed. Instead, she asked, "Does Soyorin hate holding hands?"
Don't ask that kind of question.
She won't answer; it won't matter whether it's yes or no.
Aine always uses her wicked schemes on these cunning questions.
Aine sat up and explained, "I just wanted to sit up, I didn't mean to touch you."
This attitude of admitting her mistake first also reflects her cunning mind.
"Why are you sitting up?"
"The pillow is quite hypnotic."
"Then just go to sleep, right?" Su Shi said indifferently.
Ai-yin gestured with her other hand for Su-shi to bring over a mask, but Su-shi only glanced at it and didn't move. Their hands were still clasped.
"Masks," Ai Yin reminded her.
"Isn't it too late to wear it now? Also, don't you feel like you can't breathe properly when you wear a mask?"
It might be her imagination, but Su Shi had just noticed that Aine was having trouble breathing when she wore a mask. And if Aine accidentally fell asleep, she might have to take the mask off herself.
She didn't want to touch Aine's face.
Ai Yin touched her hair and gave an awkward smile: "My nose is a bit stuffy... but what if you get infected?"
"I'm much healthier than you, don't worry, I'm unlikely to get sick."
Since you've put it that way...
Silence. The situation of having nothing to say has returned.
Su Shi, fiddling with a strand of hair, casually asked, "During the live performance, you said you escaped from England?"
Why bring this up of all things? Ai Yin nodded and said, "Yeah, I thought I could definitely do it on my own, but as you know, I was utterly defeated and had to run back with my tail between my legs."
"This is the result of getting carried away," Su Shi said calmly.
Aren't you going to comfort me?
"Do you need it?"
"Would you comfort me if I told you I needed it?"
Su Shi shook her head: "No, I won't either."
"What?!" Ai Yin puffed out her cheeks.
"You've already exposed this dark history in public, do you still need comforting? I bet you told someone about this before you went live, like—Li Xi."
You actually guessed that?! Aine was astonished.
Su Shi said knowingly, "It seems I was right. After all, there are only five people in our team. Excluding you and me, the rest are not hard to guess."
It is true.
If Aine had approached her about this first, she would have comforted her. But Aine approached Riki first.
Their intentions were obvious; they simply wanted to comfort and enlighten Lixi. Therefore, Su Shi couldn't say anything.
"Aren't you going to laugh at me?" Ai asked, concerned.
"Why are you laughing at me? And even if I were to laugh at you, you wouldn't regret revealing your embarrassing past, would you? Everyone has situations they're not good at dealing with. If I went abroad, I wouldn't necessarily be better off than you."
"Soyorin is still trying to comfort me."
Su Shi's eyes widened slightly, unaware of this.
She turned her head away: "It's been about ten minutes, go to sleep now."
"Let's talk for another ten minutes."
I knew Aine would cheat.
Su Shi said in a low voice, "If you can't even keep this little promise, I can't believe you want to be in a band with me for the rest of your life and give me your life."
"...That's a very cunning way of putting it," Ai Yin said, lowering her head in disappointment.
"How dare you say that."
Su Shi didn't look at Aine's face; if she saw the look of disappointment, she might soften her heart.
"Okay~ I'm going to sleep then." Ai-yin replied perfunctorily, lay back down, and pulled up the covers.
Whew... Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Why do our conversations always turn into a tug-of-war? Although it doesn't feel tiring.
She lowered her head: "Let go."
Their hands were still clasped.
"Aiyin closed her eyes, her face serene."
"Aine. Let go."
no respond.
Su Shi raised an eyebrow. This was most likely someone pretending to be asleep. If Ai Yin could really fall asleep in a second, she would already be considered a superhuman.
The right thing to do is to wake her up, or simply shake off her hand.
But Su Shi neither made a sound nor moved. Perhaps Ai Yin really was asleep. If she were woken up again, she would definitely be bothered again.
So this is the only way things can be. There's nothing we can do about it.
As Su Shi thought this, she vaguely felt that the thumping in her palm was a little faster, but that was probably just an illusion.
What if Aine's parents came over at this moment and saw them holding hands? Su Shi couldn't help but look towards the door, but she still didn't hear any movement coming closer.
The sunlight streaming through the skylight was still so bright it was almost tiresome.
Silently, time flows by.
Half an hour later, Su Shi thought: No matter what, Ai Yin should be asleep by now.
She can't stay here forever.
She subtly withdrew her hand and tucked Aine's arm back under the covers. Suze observed Aine's face; there was no reaction... she must really be asleep.
""
How's your temperature now? Su Shi wanted to roughly measure it with her hand, but that would mean touching your face.
Just because she touched Aine's face in her dream doesn't mean she'll touch it in reality. Besides, it was just a strange dream.
Su Shi pulled up the blanket and patted it a few times.
"I'm going back."
Still no response.
Now she felt completely at ease, and quietly left the room.
After the door closed, Aine opened her eyes.
"They even tried to trick me when they left," she muttered, glancing at the time; about half an hour had passed.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi stayed here for another half hour, without letting go of her hand.
Aine just wanted to see if Su Shi would stay here, and if so, for how long.
It was truly painful to fight off sleepiness while pretending to be fast asleep. The point of doing this was probably to realize once again—Su Shi was indeed very forgiving towards her.
My phone suddenly rang. There was a message.
Ai Yin opened the screen and subconsciously clicked on it.
[Su Shi: 1]
1?
What does this mean?
No, wait!
Ai Yin watched as the "unread" status next to the message changed to "read," then sat up abruptly and scratched her head.
"Fell into a trap!"
Sure enough, the next second...
[Su Shi:]
[Su Shi: Is it fun to lie to me?]
[Aine: I'm sorry! And thank you for staying with me, soyorinlove!]
On the other side, Su Shi put away her phone and let out a long sigh.
I still dislike her, as expected.

The next day.
Aiyin got up, feeling much lighter, and no longer felt like coughing; it seemed her cold was gone.
[Lixi: Are you feeling better?]
There was a private message from Lixi on my phone.
[Light: Ai-yin...can you come to class today? If not, I can help you ask for leave.]
There were also private messages about lights.
Lena didn't post, which is normal. She rarely speaks in the group chat, but she does check messages...
[Lena: Kang?]
Then a message came in the next second.
Huh? They actually sent a message!? Ai Yin was taken aback. The message was so short, just one word and a question mark, but it was still quite rare.
After replying to each message, Ai Yin opened Su Shi's chat box.
Su Shi was the only one who didn't send a message, whether in a private chat or a group chat.
"Is she really angry?" Ai Yin asked anxiously.
