Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Aiyin is a New Age band girl who is keen on surfing the Internet, although she has a little bit of cyber superstition.

For example, after being given the Hextech ultimatum by Kashiwa Miki, Aine, wearing a normal school uniform, walked nervously from the security department to the infirmary.

A piece of news about the death of a celebrity popped up on my phone. I felt so lucky! This must be God’s blessing!

Then, before reaching the teaching area, Aiyin opened up online fortune-telling, and used software like Tarot cards and Zhougong's Dream Interpretation. Her mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

Ugh...Ke-chan, please be gentler when scolding me later. Aine really knows she’s wrong!

Soyorin didn't even reply to my message. Rikki said that I deserved it for not training seriously. Tomorin... I can't even protect myself, Tomorin. God wants to kill me!

However, seeing the calm expression of Kashiwa Miki who was leaning against the door of the infirmary, Aine felt that she seemed to be saved. She still approached with a smile and, as usual, held Kashiwa Miki's sleeve with her delicate little hand.

"Ko-chan, I'm sorry..."

"You have nothing to be sorry about, Aine." Kashiwa Sanki gently pulled away Aine's hand, his expression expressionless. "After all, I was the one who forced you to help me. Aine is a good girl, and she couldn't say no, so she had to tell me this way that she didn't want to get involved in my affairs. I understand."

Eh? What Ke-chan said...

"Ke-chan, you seem to have misunderstood. I didn't..."

Aine's face turned pale, and she forced a stiff smile.

"Aine was invited to join the student council these days, right? Congratulations." Kashiwa Sanhui opened a lemon-flavored lollipop and put it in his mouth. It was the first time he ate such sour candy, and Kashiwa Sanhui's expression was a little depressed that he couldn't suppress it.

"Ain is a popular child. The student council and other classmates have accepted Ain. There are plenty of opportunities for Ain to impress everyone. It seems that Ain doesn't need my care at all."

"You're not even willing to take my carefully prepared show seriously."

"And yet, now, our omnipotent Aine, the Aine loved by everyone, actually lowered her head and said to me with an innocent look: 'Ko-chan, I know I was wrong.'"

"Aine, ah Aine..." Kashiwa Sanki seemed to have a tear rolling in his eyes, but it was quickly held back. Only the heavy breathing showed that Kashiwa Sanki was really furious now.

"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"

"I can change it. I really can."

Listening to Baihe Sanhui's almost self-abandoning words, he watched him slowly slide down against the wall in dejection, and then sit down on the ground, with his head lowered, which was almost always held high in the past. His expression was hidden by his messy bangs, revealing only a lollipop stick that was bitten and curled up.

Something seemed to break in Aine's heart.

I… have let Ke-chan down terribly. Ke-chan is heartbroken by me…

It was obviously Ke Jiang who always doted on me, who always gave me the delicious food first, who never got angry even when he was unreasonable...

Tears came out unconsciously.

"Ko-chan!" Aine knelt down in front of Kashiwa Sanki, not caring about the dirt on the ground and the red tape such as the taboo of physical contact between men and women, and hugged the silent Kashiwa Sanki tightly, tears flowing out uncontrollably, wetting the collar of Kashiwa Sanki's windbreaker.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Ke-chan, I didn't mean to not try hard, I just... I just..."

Kashiwa Sanki patted Aine on the back, signaling Aine to stop and listen to him.

"I don't mind that you don't work hard. I'm just a little sad that no one takes my words seriously, and no one takes my efforts seriously."

"I spent one night carefully selecting the songs, and I spent two full days revising everyone's sheet music so that everyone could bring their favorite instruments to the stage."

"Even before I went to bed, I was thinking about whether I should change the lyrics and simplify some of the more difficult parts."

"You know what, Aine, I didn't change a single word in the end because I believed you could do it."

Kashiwa Sanhui wanted to gently push Aine away, but found that Aine was hugging her too tightly, so he simply let Aine hug him, and pounded his hands on the ground with his hands clenched.

"It seems I was right not to stay on as a teacher. If I were to teach university students, I would definitely run out crying in the middle of class, right?"

"I really don't blame you. I will always believe in you."

The more Aine heard Kashiwa Miki's self-explosion, the colder her heart became, and the tighter she hugged Kashiwa Miki.

"Ke-chan...please stop talking. I know I've disappointed you, and saying sorry won't make you feel any better."

"Ke-chan, please give me a chance to correct my mistakes, okay?"

"I can no longer accept a life without Ke-chan pampering and caring for me. Now, Ke-chan, let's give it a try no matter what, okay?"

Hearing this, the corners of Kashiwa Sanhui's mouth hidden under his bangs curled up slightly.

The plan goes through!

Although it is very uncomfortable to be ignored and treated perfunctorily by these little bastards, this is just the beginning.

In order to get published in a journal, we conducted the same experiment more than 80 times. There were eight people in the team, and we quarreled more than 20 times. Now I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment, but it is not as painful as when I was scolded by my seniors every day.

Oh, Li Xiao was there to help speak up. I really miss the days when the two of us debated with each other.

But that was all in the past. Now we have to find a way to get all the attention of these little bastards back and let them practice properly.

With Deng, a pat on the head and some encouraging words were enough to coax her; with Ryo, she could be won over immediately by promising her some material rewards; but Ichiri… you really can't force her, right? Ichiri was really trying her best; Kita and Nijika were actually quite decent. I just listened to Kita's recitation, and while it wasn't fluent, I basically remembered it. It was purely a matter of ability.

As for Aine, who is the most serious slacker, we need to give her some drastic measures, preferably to the extent of making her wake up in the middle of the night and slap herself twice. If we continue to talk to her with a smile and ask her to correct her behavior, it would be a waste of time.

"……Chance?"

"Yes, chance! Ke-chan, give me another chance!"

Aine felt that she seemed to have touched Kashiwa Miki, so she let go of Kashiwa Miki and instead pulled Kashiwa Miki's hand tightly.

"I'm going to practice hard and not mess around! I'm going to memorize all the lyrics this afternoon so I can sing them all fluently tomorrow!"

"...Forty-eight hours?"

"Forty-eight hours! Ke-chan, just give me another forty-eight hours! Oh, I really know I was wrong!"

Patting the crying Aine's head somewhat dotingly, Kashiwa Miki sighed. The smell of lemon made Aine a little dizzy.

"Then it'll be forty-eight hours. If you really feel you can't do it, you can give up. I don't blame Aine."

"I can definitely do it, Ke-chan, believe me, I can do it!"

Kashiwa Sanki stood up first, then took Aine's hand and pulled up Aine who was kneeling on the floor with tears in her eyes, and handed her a tissue.

"Don't cry, I didn't bully you. If others see me, my reputation will be ruined."

“…Hmm!” Although she was still gasping for air, Aine’s tears had more or less stopped, and the edges around her big eyes were red.

"Go to the bathroom and wash your face, then practice with everyone. I'll ask Liang to buy everyone some food."

"Okay... then, Ke-chan, have you forgiven me?"

Why does Aine's crying face make me feel guilty?

"I'll forgive you part of it for now, and watch what Aine does on stage for the rest of the time."

"Yeah! I will, I will try my best...A-choo!"

“Ugh, it’s so dirty, Aine, go wash it quickly.”

Watching Aine, with a face full of snot and tears, walk into the bathroom with small steps, Kashiwa Sanhui casually rubbed his face with his hands. His original expression of despair was immediately replaced by a smug smile, and he hummed a little tune.

Poor Aiyin, she was played around by that awful adult, Kashiwa Miki.
