Looking at Rikki, Aine couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Rikki is really stubborn. You've cried so hard, and you still say you didn't cry?"
Soon, Lixi finally stopped crying. She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and calmed down: "Huh? That's all because of you."
“Pfft.” Aiyin covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. She nodded and agreed with Li Xi, “Okay, okay, because of me, okay.”
Listening to this speech that sounded like coaxing a child, Li Xi's expression was slightly dissatisfied. She raised her foot and hit Aiyin's calf. Although the action was not heavy, it was full of a bit of embarrassment and anger.
Aiyin was startled by Rikki's sudden move. She took a few steps back and looked at Rikki with some dissatisfaction: "Rikki, what are you doing? Why are you attacking me?"
"Hmph." Li Xi snorted coldly, crossing his arms across his chest, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Xi's unreasonable attitude, Aiyin spread her hands and sat back in her seat: "Okay, okay, since you cried, I'll let you go this time."
"Let me go?" Li Xi's face flushed, not sure if it was because of crying just now or for other reasons.
She turned her face away and didn't argue with Aine about this matter anymore: "In the next live, perform well and don't let things like what happened in rehearsal today happen again, otherwise... I will..."
"Are you going to put pressure on me again?" Aiyin held her chin with one hand and looked at Riki with a helpless expression, "Really, Rikki, please be nicer to me. Don't always be like this. I'm obviously pretty good at guitar too."
Li Xi really couldn't refute what Aine said. Aine's guitar skills were indeed very good, except for the occasional slack: "Actually... you don't have to play the guitar so hard."
"Okay, I understand." Aiyin took a sip of coffee, her eyes smiling, "I'll take care of myself from now on, okay?"
This sentence seemed to touch Li Xi's soft spot, and her face turned even redder than before: "Huh, who said I care about your health? I'm just worried that Deng will be sad if you break the appointment."
"Rikki is so dishonest. You're clearly concerned about me, aren't you?"
"Who cares about you? I don't!" Li Xi slammed the table and stood up suddenly. Her face was red as if it was about to bleed. "Don't talk nonsense!"
"You see, you're not being frank again."
"You...I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Li Xi grabbed his bag and ran out.
"Rikki! Didn't you say you wanted to treat us?"
Seeing that Li Xi ignored her, Aiyin finished her coffee, paid for both of them, and left RiNG.
When Aiyin came out of RiNG, it was already dark outside. The street lights were on, stretching her shadow very long.
If there is anything you can't handle... you can talk to me... we are in the same band after all... I will... help... you.
Riki’s words were still echoing in Aine’s mind.
"Riki, you idiot... You should just say one thing and mean another... Why are you saying these things so coyly..."
Aiyin couldn't hold it in any longer. The emotion she had just felt was even more overwhelming. Tears rolled down her eyes and landed on the ground, leaving behind a trail of water marks.
"Really?! I actually let her comfort me... Someone who often says one thing and means another says such things... Don't you know that it's easy to make people cry?"
……
In the dim room, the curtains blocked the light from outside that tried to shine into the house.
Li Xi lay quietly on the bed, hugging her soft quilt. She had no intention of practicing the arrangement anymore, and her mind was full of what Aine had just said.
Rikki's drum is not a means to catch up with her sister, but the unique heartbeat of our Mygo...
The lyrics are not meant to be a tool to compete with Sakk, but rather a light that illuminates our Mygo's progress.
We mygo can’t do without rikki.
These three sentences seemed to be engraved in Li Xi's mind and could not be erased.
"This guy..." Li Xi pulled up the quilt irritably to cover her face, as if to escape. Her fingers were clenched under the quilt, and her knuckles turned slightly white.
"What on earth was that guy thinking...why did he say those inexplicable things!" Li Xi shook his head, "Why did he comfort me...I clearly...don't need it..."
"Really?" Li Xi murmured softly, his voice choked with sobs. "I actually lost my composure over these few words! She's going to laugh at me in the rehearsal room tomorrow."
The next day, in the rehearsal room.
Li Xi was still the first to arrive.
She sat in front of the drum kit, her fingers mindlessly tapping the drumheads, producing a sporadic rhythm. Her eyes occasionally glanced toward the door, her ears perked up, catching any movement in the corridor.
The corridor remained silent, with only the sound of her drumming echoing in the empty room.
She was feeling a bit confused. For some reason, she actually hoped to see Aine, but her mind told her that the guy would definitely start laughing at her again the moment he saw her.
Just as Li Xi was daydreaming, the sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor made her heart beat faster.
Her hand suddenly stopped, the drumstick hanging in the air, and her ears carefully distinguished the rhythm of the footsteps.
The next moment, the door was pushed open and Deng walked in.
Aine's voice rang out from behind the lamp: "Tomorin, are you sure you won't be practicing 'One Sound Meeting' today?"
"Hmm... I feel... my singing is still not that good. Let's practice something else first." After Deng answered Aine, he looked at Li Xi again, "Li Xi... can we practice something else today?"
"Uh...ah? Oh, sure." Li Xi nodded a little flusteredly.
Aiyin came out from behind the lamp: "Rikki, I paid for your bill yesterday."
Seeing Aiyin, Lixi felt her heart skip a beat. She shook her head, her face slightly red. "Huh? We're all friends... you... you treat me once, what's wrong?"
“Tsk.” Aine pouted, “You clearly said you would treat me yesterday…but…hmm.”
Before Aiyin could finish her words, Li Xi rushed over and covered her mouth: "Okay, okay, I'll buy you two drinks later, okay?"
"Li Xi?" Deng looked at the flustered Li Xi, tilting his head in confusion, "You..."
Li Xi spoke up, blocking Deng's question: "Deng, what song do you want to practice today?"
"I...how about "Bi Tian Ban Zou"? "Deng's fingers lightly slid across the notebook, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Yeah, let's just go with 'Bi Tian Ban Zou'."
Aiyin broke free from Rikki's restraints, rubbed her covered mouth, and looked at her with confusion: "Rikki, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so weird today?"
Chapter 177 Playground
"Huh? I'm normal." Li Xi's eyes avoided, not daring to look directly into Aine's eyes, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.
Although Li Xi tried her best to refute it, her body movements still betrayed her. Her toes tapped unconsciously on the floor, as if trying to hide her inner panic.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Aine almost had the answer in her mind.
Oh~ is Rikki shy? Really, she looks quite cute from this perspective.
"Alright, alright, just be normal." Aiyin had no intention of teasing Rikki. Her tone was relaxed, and her fingers gently played with the guitar strap. "Rikki, when are we going to hold the live?"
Li Xi turned around and sat back in front of the drum with a somewhat stiff movement. His fingers tapped lightly on the drum, producing a sporadic rhythm: "Next... next week."
"Is Lenai not here yet?" Su Shi's voice came from the door.
Li Xi shook his head: "No."
"Oh right, summer vacation is coming soon. Do you want to go to the amusement park during the break?" Aine's eyes swept over the three of them, finally stopping at Deng, her eyes full of anticipation. "We talked about going to the amusement park during the break. How about it, Tomorin?"
"The amusement park?" Deng tightened his grip on the notebook, hesitating for a moment before finally nodding. His voice was so soft it sounded like he was talking to himself, "Since it's Aine-chan who said so... then... I'll go."
After Li Xi calmed down, she kept her eyes on the sheet music on the drum set. She said, "Huh? We're supposed to start rehearsal now, right? Why are you talking about this?"
Aiyin came close to Rikki and looked at her with a puzzled look on her face: "It's summer vacation, our first summer vacation in high school, isn't Rikki excited?"
"I..." Li Xi blushed slightly, turned his face away, and twisted the corner of his clothes unconsciously with his fingers, "I don't have that feeling."
Aiyin put her hands on her waist and pointed at Deng and Sushi: "Rikki, don't be such a spoiler, Tomorin and Soyorin will be there."
"Su Shi hasn't spoken yet."
As soon as Li Xi finished speaking, Su Shi replied: "Wherever Aine-chan goes, I will accompany her."
Hearing this, Li Xi was speechless. Tsk, I forgot, Su Shi and this guy are... but... what the hell is this feeling of loss in my heart?
"Hey, Rikki, Soyorin is going too, aren't you going? Sakki and Mumu should be going too."
"Lixi, let's go together..." Deng stood behind Aine and spoke softly.
"Tsk, there's really nothing I can do about you guys..." Li Xi sighed, his tone still coy, "Let's wait until the holidays."
……
Just like that, a few days passed and finally summer vacation arrived.
The sun shines on every corner of the playground, the air is filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the colorful amusement facilities appear particularly bright.
"It's been a while since I've been to the amusement park." Aine stretched lazily, enjoying the tranquility and beauty in the air.
Li Xi rolled his eyes at Ai Yin, his hands in his pockets. "It's clearly a place for kids to play. You're already a freshman in high school, and you're still here?"
"Rikki, you don't understand this. This is called regaining your childlike innocence."
"Come to think of it, Mu, this is our first time at the amusement park with Xiao Ai." Xiangzi stood on tiptoe, her fingers resting lightly on her forehead, as if gazing at the distant scenery. Her eyes held a hint of nostalgia, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Mu stood beside Xiangzi, her fingers gently pinching the hem of her skirt, her eyes wandering to every corner of the amusement park. There was a flash of anticipation in her eyes, but also a hint of uneasiness, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to fit in with the excitement.
As if noticing Mu's worry, Aine patted Mu's shoulder gently, her voice soft, "Mumu, let's go ride the Ferris wheel later. I heard the whole amusement park is so beautiful from up there.
Mu was slightly startled, then nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yeah.
……
The door of the Ferris wheel slowly opened, and Aine was the first to jump out, her face still flushed with excitement.
She turned around and reached out to hold the lamp following behind her. The latter's face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the dizziness at high altitude.
"Um...Tomorin, are you okay?" Aine patted Deng's back gently.
Deng nodded: "Um... I'm fine, just a little dizzy.
Li Xi came over from behind, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Deng, you clearly know that you are afraid of heights, but you still accompany this guy.
Deng lowered his head and remained silent.
Aine stuck out her tongue and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, Tomorin, let's play something else next time.
Xiangzi stood aside, her eyes wandering between the few people, her lips slightly raised: "What are we going to play next?
“What to play… We’ve already tried the carousel, the Ferris wheel, the bumper cars, and so on… It seems there’s nothing else to play…” Aine looked around, but soon she decided on her target, “Let’s go to the haunted house! I heard that the haunted house here is really exciting!”
"Haunted house?" Deng's voice trembled, and his fingers tightly grasped Aine's sleeve, "I... I'd better not go...
Mutsuya shook his head slightly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible: "Aine-chan, Xiangzi... I... will be waiting for you outside.
Li Xi's expression instantly turned ugly: "I...I won't go either...
"Eh? Rikki, you're not scared, are you?
"Who... who is scared!" Li Xi's face flushed instantly, and his fingers clenched into fists, "Let's go!
Xiangzi chuckled and said, "Then I'll go too.
Su Shi stood aside, her fingers gently playing with her long hair, with a smile in her eyes: "I'm going too.
At the entrance of the haunted house, dim lights cast strange shadows on the walls.
Aine excitedly walked in front, gently pulling Soyorin: "Soyorin, if you get scared later, you can hold on to me!
Su Shi chuckled and gently squeezed Aine's palm with her fingers: "I'm not afraid.
Rather, I’m quite looking forward to being with Aine-chan.
Li Xi followed behind, her fingers tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, her steps a little stiff. Her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, fearing that something terrible would suddenly appear.
Xiangzi walked at the end, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Ricky, if you are scared, you can catch me.
"Who...who is scared!
Aiyin walked in front, gently pushing aside the curtain in front of her with her fingers, her eyes full of excitement: "Wow, this is so realistic!
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out from the side and let out a shrill scream.
"Ah!" Li Xi took a step back suddenly, grabbed Xiangzi's arm tightly, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Of course, not only Riki, but Aine was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the black shadow. She held Su Shi's hand tightly, and her body trembled slightly.
Su Shi gently hugged Aine, but the strength she felt in her hands made her frown slightly.
Did Aine really break her hand? Why is she still so strong?
Chapter 178 Lies
Although he had doubts in his heart, Su Shi did not say anything, but just buried the matter in his heart for the time being.
"It's okay, it's okay, Aine-chan, these are all fake, don't be afraid." Su Shi patted Aine's back gently, comforting her in a gentle tone.
"Ahem." Aiyin coughed a few times awkwardly, and she carefully got out of Su Shi's arms. "I... I'm not scared, it's just because it came out so suddenly..."
