"No, I'm just returning what you did to me." Aine didn't care and continued wiping away her tears.
This time, Su Shi didn't slap her hand away; she just turned her face away.
"Do not touch me."
“Soyorin doesn’t have the authority to order me around.”
Aine gently touched Su Shi's chin and turned her face towards her.
Their eyes met.
"Laugh if you want to," Su Shi said, shifting her gaze.
She knew she had been ridiculous just now; in fact, she had always been ridiculous.
"I won't laugh," Ai Yin said softly, gently wiping Su Shi's eyes.
Su Shi pursed her lips and grabbed Ai Yin's collar.
"Don't tell me you understand me again!"
"What's the harm in saying it?" Ai Yin asked indifferently.
"Do you think I'd believe you? Stop wiping."
Even as Su Shi made those harsh remarks, Aine's hands didn't stop.
Seeing that she still showed no sign of stopping, and her tears continued to flow uncontrollably, Su Shi grabbed the handkerchief and threw it aside.
"I told you not to wipe it!" Su Shi said, her voice trembling.
What's the point of doing this?
Ai Yin paused, and since she had no handkerchief, she used her fingertips to wipe away the tears from Su Shi's eyes. The next second, another tear fell onto her fingertip.
Su Shi sniffed: "I told you to stop, can't you understand human language?"
"I don't find you ridiculous."
"...I hate you."
"Your words hurt me a little," Aine said, lowering her gaze.
"Then stop."
"Then you can continue to hate me." Aine smiled.
Su Shi wanted to glare at her, but before she could, her vision blurred, and with a slight blink, tears welled up in her eyes.
She grabbed Aine's wrist, preventing her fingertips from touching her.
"go back."
"If Soyorin comes along, I'll go back."
Su Shi lowered her head: "What is this? What exactly do you want to do?"
Aiyin said softly, "I... knew you would definitely be rejected, so I came."
"Just to see me make a fool of myself?" Su Shi asked in a low voice.
"To appease you, and then take advantage of your vulnerability to make you change your mind and join our band!" Ai Yin said seriously.
All she got in return was Su Shi's curt reply: "Liar."
A slight, dull pain shot through her wrist as Su Shi's fingernails dug into Aine's skin.
"Ouch!" Aine cried out in pain.
"You're lying. You're a complete liar."
Ai Yin whispered, "I'm not lying, that's definitely one of the reasons. I... really want to reform MyGO, I want you to join us, I want to go back to the band I remember."
“I want to go back to the time when Soyorin was there, when everyone was there.”
"So I can understand you."
Su Shi relaxed her grip slightly, and the contents of the dream flashed through her mind again.
She, Lixi, Deng, and Aiyin all cried uncontrollably during that performance, losing face in front of so many audience members, yet they inexplicably evoked a sense of warmth, a feeling that definitely didn't come from the heat of the lights.
Is that the time that Aine wants to go back to?
"There's no going back." Su Shi's voice was hoarse.
"We can go back! As long as Soyorin joins me—"
"How could we possibly go back! Stop dreaming, it's all over, whether it's Crychic or your MyGO."
ended?
“If you cry every year, that will be difficult. Try to get used to it.”
"I also want to celebrate every birthday of Aine from now on."
"Just don't break it or lose it."
"Yes, birthdays are for cake. Share some with me later."
Memories of the past flashed before her eyes, and Aine bit her lip. Was it over?
MyGO is over? No way!
"It's not over yet, and even if it really were—"
Aine gripped Sose's shoulders tightly. She had made up her mind long ago, long before MyGO was established. She had decided that if everything ended...
"—Then let's start over! No matter what you say, I won't give up. Soyorin can't give up either!"
Su Shi's expression twisted: "What right do you have to order me around...?"
“It’s not an order; I can’t order you to do anything.”
"That...."
Aine hugged Su Shi.
"I can only ask you this."
"Let go..."
Ai Yin didn't let go; instead, she hugged him even tighter: "We promised to be in a band for life."
"I never said that!"
"I said it! I remember clearly you said you'd be in a band for life! You're not allowed to run away, I won't let you run away... Since you made a promise to me, then keep it. I will keep it, even if everyone else forgets, only I will remember..."
Ai Yin spoke softer and softer, and Su Shi did not turn to look at her because her eyes were covered with another layer of mist.
The idea of "a lifetime" or "a community of shared destiny" is absolutely a lie.
Despite thinking this, Su Shi still couldn't stop crying.
"Talking to oneself"
"...You say that, but Soyorin is crying again." Aine sniffed and let go of her hand.
Su Shi turned her face away: "I didn't...."
"Clearly there is."
Ai Yin raised her hand and wiped away Su Shi's tears again with her fingertips and fingertips. Why was the temperature of the tears that brushed against her eyes and cheeks so warm?
"Do not"
Don't be so gentle with me.
"soyorin."
Don't call me that awful, unfashionable name.
Aine said softly, "I wanted Mutsu-kun to come because I wanted to make your conversation... a little gentler. Even if we have to part ways, there's no need to make things too awkward, is there?"
“I don’t want you to be too sad, Soyorin, but I might fail.”
Don't say things like that at a time like this.
"I'm sorry," Ai-yin said softly.
Don't apologize.
Su Shi cried even harder. Crychic was over, and all the beautiful times they had shared were over. The more she realized this, the more she couldn't stop crying and couldn't control her facial expressions and voice.
Don't look at me like this.
Aine didn't say anything more, but continued to wipe away her tears with empathy.
But this only made Su Shi cry even more uncontrollably.
“I hate you,” Su Shi said.
I hate it the most.
Chapter 33 Two Consecutive Confessions
Why did you say those things just now?
Xiangzi walked ahead, asking without turning his head.
Mu followed silently behind without responding.
"I wasn't lying." Then she suddenly replied with something completely irrelevant.
"You should have said it."
"Thanks to you, I have to go even further," Xiangzi sighed.
The thought of Aine being a student at the same school gave her a headache, but she couldn't change schools anymore, and Haneoka was a good fit for her needs.
Because there are scholarships available.
Mu lowered her head slightly: "I don't want to lie."
""
"Can lies really solve everything?" she whispered again.
Xiangzi couldn't help but turn around: "Whose side are you on anyway?"
"I... am not a messenger."
"I know."
"I'm not from either side, but I'll help Xiangzi."
Xiangzi frowned, but didn't say anything more. She rubbed her temples, not wanting to deal with these trivial matters anymore.
Since Mu is willing to help her, that's all the better.
at the same time.
Since it was no longer rush hour, the tram wasn't very crowded. Aine and Sose sat in a corner, silent to each other.
It wasn't that Aine didn't want to speak, but rather that Sose didn't.
"soyorin——"
""
"Can you please stop ignoring me? I can get hurt too."
Su Shi glanced at her, then looked away: "I didn't mean to ignore you, I just don't want to say anything right now. You can say whatever you want, but don't expect me to respond."
"That's called ignoring me. But since you don't want to talk, I'll just stay quiet."
Ai Yin took out her phone. Su Shi initially thought she was chatting or typing with someone, but after glancing at her, she realized she was just watching videos.
Su Shi still didn't want to talk.
But she didn't want Aine to worry about her. Excessive gentleness and concern would only make her uncomfortable right now, especially since she had just had a good cry. She hoped that Aine could be more normal.
"Let's say something," Su Shi said casually.
"Didn't you tell me to be quiet?"
"I didn't say that."
Ai Yin put away her phone and looked into Su Shi's eyes.
