"What are you doing?"
Chapter 37 The Cunning An0n
Why did Su Shi react so strongly?
Ai Yin paused for a moment, then explained, "I saw something on your hair and wanted to remove it. But why are you so nervous?"
She clearly touched Su Shi's hair before, and Su Shi didn't resist.
Of course, it's also possible that Su Shi's mindset collapsed at that time, and he couldn't care less about these things.
"I'm not nervous," Su Shi said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Is she shy?"
“I wasn’t shy at all,” Su Shi said, frowning.
It's just that I keep thinking about the strange dreams I had before.
"Then let go. It feels a bit strange having you holding my wrist like that..." Aine moved her hand around.
Su Shi then realized that he was still holding her hand, so he quickly let go and grabbed his own arm instead.
“Here.” Ai Yin tapped her hair.
"what?"
"The things that got on it."
Su Shi casually touched it and found it was a short silk thread.
With a gust of wind, the silk thread disappeared into the scenery, impossible to spot with the naked eye.
“There’s more,” Aine said.
"....Where?"
Aine tapped a spot on her hair again.
Is there really still some? Su Shi was a little doubtful. She hadn't gone into the school's storage room or done anything when she helped her classmate today, so how could she have gotten so much stuff on her? Or was Ai Yin lying to her?
Even with these thoughts in mind, Su Shi touched her hair again.
"No, it's this way."
"Really?"
"Yes, there is," Ai Yin said confidently, pointing to another place.
No matter how she tried, Su Shi never managed to get the "thing" that Aine was talking about.
“Soyorin is surprisingly clumsy. Oh well, I’ll take it off myself.” Aine said, reaching out her hand again.
See the picture poorly.
She must have had that in mind, that's why she said that on purpose. Su Shi also blocked Aine's hand again.
There's nothing there at all, right?
"Yes," Ai Yin said again.
"Liar."
"Is it not okay if I don't have it?" Ai asked.
“I didn’t say yes.”
Ai-yin said softly, "Would it be the same if I were a member of Cryhic?"
"...What?" Su Shi wondered if she had misheard.
"It's nothing," Ai Yin said casually, withdrawing her hand.
Although I don't know why, my answer seems to be wrong.
Su Shi pursed her lips slightly and asked, "What does this have to do with Crychic?"
"It's okay."
Frustration. Su Shi felt inexplicably irritated. Whether it was Ai Yin's deliberate behavior or her inexplicable words just now, they both bothered her immensely.
Now that things have come to this, she no longer wants to keep her true feelings to herself.
"Just say what you have to say, otherwise—"
"What?" Aine asked curiously.
Su Shi couldn't think of a good way to put it right away, so she said, "—Wouldn't that be very troublesome?"
"Would it be even more troubling to tell them?"
"I'll listen first and then say something."
"Then let me touch Soyorin's hair."
Su Shi asked unhappily, "Why did the topic turn to this?"
"alright, that's fine."
Su Shi's irritation only intensified. Was it really necessary to be so fixated on something as simple as touching someone's hair?
If you want to touch it, doesn't Aine have one herself? Why does it have to be mine?
She didn't want Aine to do that.
But since things had come to this, Su Shi still shook her head and said, "A little while would be fine."
Anyway, people had already seen her make a fool of herself. She convinced herself that.
"Okay, just a moment."
Ai Yin raised her hand, her fingertips running through her soft hair, gently tugging at strands. Her fingers felt a slight itch, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
What's the point of doing this? — Su Shi's eyes seemed to ask this question. This time, she finally stopped stopping her, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face, seemingly indifferent to the matter.
“I’m envious.”
"Hmm?" Su Shi's attention was drawn back.
"...Crychic is so cared for and cherished by Soyorin, who even gets angry and sheds tears."
It was less envy and more jealousy. Su Shi lowered her head. Given that she was determined to revive Crychic and Aine was determined to form MyGO, it was not surprising that this situation occurred.
"That's all." Aine said, withdrawing her hand.
She will be sad if she is rejected.
Is it because I've always refused to let her touch my hair that she's going to such lengths to do so? Su Shi was speechless for a moment.
“That was just embarrassing,” Su Shi said.
"maybe."
Surprisingly, they didn't deny it.
"But I still feel a little uneasy." Aine sighed.
""
After a brief awkward silence, Aine decided to change the subject.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"I suppose so." Su Shi, unusually, didn't stubbornly refute.
"Do you want to come play with me?" Aine asked with interest.
"No."
No, that's not it! Aine was greatly disappointed: "Then what are you trying to do?"
"Thank you and apology. Thank you for being there for me—I didn't say this that day, so I want to make up for it with this belated thank you;"
Su Shi said softly, "And I'm sorry, I said some unpleasant things to you."
Unpleasant words? Are they those harmless complaints?
Ai Yin didn't think it was bad; in fact, she thought those complaints were quite cute... It's just that she couldn't tell Su Shi these honest thoughts.
"I didn't take it to heart."
Su Shi said, "But I kept it in mind, so I wanted to say these words."
"I see."
"Yes, it is like that."
The two fell silent.
Ai Yin thought that since that was the case, it was about time to say goodbye. She felt that she had said a lot of things she shouldn't have said today, but she should be fine after adjusting her mindset when she got back.
Putting everything else aside, she picks herself up very quickly.
“Well—” Ai Yin raised her hand, ready to wave goodbye.
But Su Shi spoke first.
"...Want to go back together?"
Although their families are not on the same side of the road, they can still travel together.
Since we're going back anyway, it's fine to go back together.
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, right?" Su Shi said indifferently.
Ai Yin asked again, "Can we take a longer route?"
Su Shi inexplicably recalled what Aine had said to her before.
"Want to ride together and miss your stop?"—She still remembered Aine's tone and the way she tugged at her sleeve.
It is both an inquiry and an invitation.
Aine always likes to do things that deviate from her original goals, or rather, deviating from her goals is her goal. Ultimately, there's probably only one reason for doing this:
I want to stay together a little longer.
Surprisingly, it was very easy to understand. Su Shi thought to herself, Aine comes up with one idea after another, she's practically a queen of ideas, but it's all very easy to understand.
""
"soyorin?"
"...Where to?" Su Shi asked casually.
"do not know."
"So casual."
Ai Yin smiled and said, "Isn't it better to be casual? There's no rule that says you have to have a destination to take a detour, is there?"
"Oh, let's go."
Missing your stop together, taking a longer route together—these may not seem like big deals, but these moments of deviating from the planned path accumulate.
If you add up all the moments together, that's a lifetime.
How far would they have to go, and how many stops would they have to go through? Su Shi thought casually. This question was meaningless, but the fact that they had taken a longer route was equally meaningless.
So it doesn't matter.
Chapter 38 I've become rusty, is it Xiangzi's fault?
The style of "Walking with the Blue Sky" is completely different from Crychic.
After taking a shower, Su Shi sat on a chair in the bedroom, holding the sheet music that Li Xi had given her.
"It's understandable that they're different, after all, this was written by Li Xi..."
Putting down the sheet music, Su Shi leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh, feeling a bit tired. It wasn't mental fatigue, but rather physical fatigue from accompanying Ai Yin for too long.
She was still full of energy after shopping for so long; no wonder she could run around everywhere without stopping.
Su Shi rubbed her legs.
