"That's okay."

"I don't quite understand," Li Xi said, puzzled.

"Being clingy means she'll be happy no matter what you give her, right? If she didn't like you, why would she cling to you?"

Would he really be happy no matter what I gave him? Li Xi wondered uncertainly.

"Ah, of course, if it's something like giving stones, it's a bit... um."

Lixi wasn't angry, but she remembered the small pebble lying in Aiyin's bedroom.

Even the stones, Aine kept carefully in her room, neither throwing them away nor leaving them lying around in a corner.

That pebble is probably still sunbathing in her room right now.

Envy—not really, why envy a stone? But Lixi did hope that her gift would be treated well, and Aine would definitely fulfill that wish.

"Thank you, I know what to give now."

I think it's better to just give them headphones.

The desire to express gratitude remains unchanged, and Aine deserves a gift, but if Aine would be happy with anything she received...

She wanted to give him headphones.

Then use it to listen to her compositions.

She doesn't know what her thoughts were when she gave the headphones in her first timeline, but that's what she's thinking now.

If Aine is disappointed, then Aine also has the right to disappoint her afterward.

If cute voice would be happy about this, that would be best.

Chapter 46 LOVE2000

"Thank you so much, Su Shi! You've been a huge help!"

"Thank you for staying with us so late."

The students thanked her one after another, and Su Shi smiled gently, her voice filled with tenderness:

"It's okay, you can come to me again if you have any trouble later."

"Ok!"

Mu had already left the school. After all, it was almost sunset, and most of the students had already left, leaving only some club members behind.

The reason for staying with them and helping them is simple—they are in trouble.

Su Shi knew she was a despicable woman, but she wasn't so cold-hearted as to sit idly by and do nothing about it.

Anyway, there's nothing to do if I go home early.

Mother still won't be coming back today.

Su Shi returned to the classroom, packed up her textbooks, and then carried her schoolbag to the front door.

"Sushi-kun!"

A familiar voice, but an unfamiliar way of addressing her. Su Shi paused for a moment, then turned around, where a splash of pink stood out before her.

Su Shi's expression twitched slightly: "Ai Yin... why are you blocking the door again?"

And he even called her Su Shi.

Did she call her "soyorin"? Although she didn't like that name and didn't want Aine to continue calling her that, why didn't she?

Su Shi didn't realize the reason until students walked past them.

“Soyorin—aren’t you going to call me that?” Su Shi asked casually.

"That's what they call it in private."

Su Shi frowned unhappily: "It doesn't matter what we call each other now, right? It's just a form of address, there's no need to make it so special."

Aine laughed and said, "So you mean you want me to call you Soyorin in front of everyone from now on?"

"I'd prefer you to address me differently."

"But you're not satisfied with what I said."

That's because someone has terrible taste in names. Su Shi sighed and didn't continue the conversation with Ai Yin on this topic.

She changed the subject: "...How long have you been waiting?"

“It hasn’t been very long,” Ai Yin said.

"There's no need to go into such an obvious lie... Let's go."

We can't just linger at the school gate forever.

Aiyin found a place with a bench and sat down. She had been standing at the school gate for too long and her legs were a little sore.

"Here you go." Su Shi bought a bottle of mineral water from the vending machine and handed it to her.

"Thank you~ I hope Soyorin can always be this gentle." Aine twisted open the bottle cap and smiled.

The faintly visible canine teeth caught Su Shi's eye.

Su Shi leaned against the wall and casually said, "You could have just sent a message directly, why did you block the door? I'll have a headache if my classmates ask about it."

"Just say it's a friend who's looking for you."

“What kind of friend would come from another school and block the gate again and again?” Su Shi said in a low voice.

Ai Yin took a sip of water and said, "I was just afraid that you, Soyorin, wouldn't reply to me."

Su Shi could only think of one reason why she would be so worried.

—It's related to the band.

Sure enough, Ai Yin showed her phone, and the chat group name "MyGO!!! (3)" came into view.

Three people now? Su Shi thought to herself for a moment. In the first playthrough, their group consisted of: Aine, Akari, herself, Riki, and a guitarist. Akari wasn't there, and neither was she, so that meant...

"Have you found the other guitarist?" Su Shi asked, grabbing his arm.

"Yes, Lenai still remembers our things, though only a little bit."

Ai-yin drank a few more sips of water, and after resting enough, she stood up: "Soyorin—"

But before she could continue speaking, Su Shi turned and left, showing no intention of continuing the topic.

I knew it would be like this.

Luckily, I was the one blocking the door; otherwise, if we had contacted each other online, Su Shi would definitely have ignored my messages again.

Ai Yin hurriedly followed: "You're the only one left!"

"Where's the light?"

"The lights will take a while to arrive."

"That's it."

Su Shi responded with a nonchalant "yes" and walked aimlessly.

Aiyin followed behind, knowing that it was crucial to avoid rushing things, as urging Su Shi might only have a negative effect.

Put yourself in their shoes. If you were invited by Su Shi to play in a band for the rest of your life, and your previous band had collapsed, you would definitely need time to think.

Although Aine felt that Suze had enough time to think.

Su Shi could sense the presence of the person beside her, but she had no mind to pay attention to it at the moment.

The result came anyway, she thought.

As long as Aine doesn't choose to stop, that day will eventually come. No matter how many times I say I don't want to, Aine will still come knocking on my door.

"Are you planning to cling to me for the rest of your life?"—Su Shi wanted to ask Ai Yin beside her, but there was no need to ask; the answer was obvious.

Whether it will last a lifetime or not, we don’t know, but perhaps it will be like this for all three years of high school.

One reason for this is that my own attitude was not firm enough.

"I'll end all of this myself," she thought to herself.

Regardless of the outcome.

Su Shi finally stopped on the roadside by the river. Aine stopped as well.

It was sunset, and the water shimmered with a dim, yellowish light.

"Don't you think a lifetime... that's a bit too long?" she whispered, her back to Aine.

Indeed, but as long as we accumulate moments—

"In other words, I have countless moments in my life that I want to give to you."

Su Shi turned around, her face indifferent.

"Not a few days, not a few months, but decades."

"After finishing high school, college, entering society, and then aging, losing strength, perhaps even unable to stand... we still want to continue playing in a band. Don't you think that's too unrealistic?"

A gentle breeze blew by, and Ai Yin pressed her hair down.

At a time like this, Su Shi probably doesn't want to hear nice things.

"Just accumulate every moment" and "How will you know if you don't try?" These are true words, but they are also just nice words.

Ignorance is bliss, but high school students are unaware of the true nature of society. They are still under the protection of their parents and live in a corner of the world, which is why they can say so many nice things.

Perhaps in a few years, the band will face new problems, and a few years after that, yet another problem will emerge.

Some problems can be solved, while others may not; they may even become thorns, entangled in one's steps, and every step forward is accompanied by the coldness of pain and blood loss.

Ultimately, they are all different individuals.

“Yes, when I first heard it, I also felt it was too far away. We were just high school students, yet we were going to be in a band for life,” Aine answered honestly.

"But if it's not a band for life, would you consider Soyorin?"

"Probably not," Su Shi said, shifting his gaze.

Playing in a band for a few months, then disbanding, and treating it as a beautiful memory of youth, something to laugh about at future class reunions?

Su Shi also found it unacceptable.

"What about the band that spent half their lives with?"

"...Isn't that just a half-baked band?"

Ai Yin smiled and said, "That's right, Soyorin is too greedy."

"what?"

“You don’t want fleeting brilliance, nor do you want half-hearted warmth; what you want is lasting beauty. However, I can’t guarantee that you can satisfy this greed once you return to MyGO, Soyorin.”

Su Shi wanted to refute it, but Ke Ai Yin was telling the truth.

It feels really uncomfortable to be seen through, but this is the consequence of one's own actions.

If it weren't for the desire to salvage the past even at the cost of making a complete fool of oneself, such things wouldn't have been so thoroughly exposed.

Su Shi had no choice but to ask, "Then why should I agree?"

"What's the point of forming a band with you guys?"

Silence suddenly descended.

The sound of the river echoed in their ears. Su Shi gazed at Ai Yin, the afterglow of the setting sun casting long shadows of the two of them.

"Because if you don't join, you won't have the chance to satisfy your own greed," Aine said earnestly.

“It doesn’t have to be a band,” Su Shi said in a low voice.

"But the word 'band' must be very special to you, right?"

""

He just kept saying whatever he wanted to say, it was really too much.

Su Shi clenched her fists, her voice turning cold.

"Then tell me, what if we fail? What am I supposed to do if my whole life's band fails?"

Are we going to make a fool of ourselves again, trying to salvage the situation at any cost, just like before?
