Just as Aiyin was daydreaming, a game of the dance machine just ended. When her classmates got off the machine, they noticed Aiyin, the new student who was daydreaming. They thought that Aiyin was being reserved, so they took the initiative to come forward and ask, "How about it, little Aiyin, do you want to play?"

Aiyin came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "No, I haven't played this much."

Although Aine was actually quite good at dancing, especially because she had learned Hip-hop dancing to keep up with the trend, and she also watched idols dancing. But with the example of this classmate who had just performed almost perfectly, Aine didn't want to compare herself with him, so she politely declined.

But speaking of dancing, there seem to be bands that perform dancing at live shows, but usually it's the lead singer or bassist. The current members of AnonTokyo don't seem to have a strong desire to perform. Although everyone has a distinct personality, it seems that they don't like to show off on stage.

As expected, Aine has to be relied upon at this time. Maybe she will have to do things like livening up the atmosphere on stage.

Aiyin thought so without stopping her body movements. In order to prevent her classmates from thinking that she couldn't let go, she came to a whack-a-mole machine and started playing the game.

With Aine's reflexes, a game like whack-a-mole is easy for her to play. However, as the game progresses, the frequency of whack-a-mole appearances increases. Aine would occasionally make "Aye aye" sounds and hit the whack-a-mole that appeared, which was very cute.

After the game was over, everyone praised Ain for her skill at whack-a-mole, and Ain raised her head proudly. In fact, Ain still felt that she didn't play well, but since the time was almost up, Ain had no choice but to follow the crowd and leave the arcade.

When passing by the door, Aine saw that Kikuko had already grabbed a lot of dolls from the claw machine. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, she quickly shouted, "Please wait a moment, I have one more chance, I'll be right there!"

After hearing Kikuko's call, everyone stopped and either watched Kikuko's operation or chatted with her companions. Kikuko was able to pick up a doll in such a tense atmosphere of being watched. She is also a player with a big heart.

Rushing to take the new loot from the exit, Kikuko breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the dolls she had picked up earlier and trotted towards everyone. However, because she was holding so many dolls, Kikuko didn't see the steps under her feet, and she stepped into empty space, causing her entire body to lose balance.

"Danger!"

Aine was very interested in Kikuko's doll-grabbing skills, so she watched her all the way and quickly reacted. When Kikuko was about to fall, she rushed to her and caught her. At least because of the impact, the doll that Kikuko was holding was squeezed apart and scattered on the ground.

After recovering from her daze and panic, Kikuko saw that it was Aine who saved her, and she stammered in thanks, "Thank you, thank you."

"Wow, Ain-chan is so fast! By the time I could react, she had already caught him!"

This was a classmate who was standing by and marveled at Aine’s quick movements.

Aine just shook her head gently, indicating that it was nothing, if the person just fell she just had to go forward to catch him/her, but if the person slipped she would have to go forward and hug the other person's body to prevent him/her from falling, the degree of difficulty was incomparable.

"Ah, doll..."

After Kikuko stood up with the help of Aine's body, she subconsciously looked at her hands holding the doll, but found that most of the doll had fallen to the ground, and she subconsciously exclaimed.

However, the classmates in the class quickly helped Kikuko pick up the dolls on the ground and handed them to her. Although all the dolls were found, Kikuko still felt a little lost.

"Dirty..."

Seeing this, Aiyin comforted him: "It's okay, just wash it when you get home, right? Put it away first."

Although Aine and Kikuko had some unpleasantness before, they were both simple-minded girls, so how could there be any deep hatred between them? This was also the reason why Aine rushed forward to save Kikuko and comforted her immediately.

However, Aiyin's consolation did not have much effect, and Kikuko still sighed: "I can't send it away..."

After hearing this, Aine finally understood why Kikuko was upset. It really seemed that no matter if it was dirty or washed, it was not suitable for giving as a gift. Aine asked, "Ah, so you wanted to give it to someone else."

Kikuko took out a bald eagle doll and showed it to Aine, saying, “This looks very much like Yanagisawa-sama to me. I originally wanted to give it away after the plan succeeded.”

Aiyin gave an awkward but polite smile. It turned out that you were still thinking about your evil plan...

However, Aine looked at the bald eagle doll in Kikuko's hand. Among all the cute dolls, this majestic bald eagle did have a cold feeling like Ao. However, Aine, who knew Ao better, felt that Ao also had a cute side. If anything, the owl was more suitable for Ao's image.

Seeing that Aine was smiling but not saying anything, Kikuko hesitated for a moment and picked out two dolls that had not just fallen to the ground from among the dolls, held them in front of Aine, and said, "Please, please accept them!"

Aine pointed at herself in surprise and asked, “Huh? Me?”

Kikuko nodded vigorously and explained in a low voice: "I, I hope that Chihaya can give a gift to Mr. Yanagisawa on my behalf later..."

Aiyin suddenly realized what was going on, but she did not agree to Kikuko's request. Instead, she said seriously, "I think if you want to have a good relationship with her, you should work hard on your own, okay?"

Hearing the rejection in Aine's words, Kikuko lowered her head in despair, but because Aine had made her position clear before that she would not eat at the expense of her, the president of the Aoi Fan Club, she was not particularly disappointed.

Aine continued: "Qing... Qing wouldn't want to receive a gift from someone else from me. And why don't you try giving a gift yourself?"

Kikuko murmured softly: "I dare not... Lord Yanagisawa wouldn't care about someone like me, right?"

Aiyin sighed in her heart. Why did she have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu? When she and Qing persuaded Deng to join the band and hold a live show, Deng seemed to be in such trouble.

So Aine recalled the situation at that time and patiently said to Kikuko: "But you have never tried to approach her actively. Even if these plans you are making now really work, will you really have the courage to talk to Qing when the time comes?"

Aine's words made Kikuko silent. It was just as Aine said. If she could muster up the courage to talk to Ao, she wouldn't have to set up a fan club in secret and arrange so many plans, and Ao wouldn't even be aware of her existence.

Aine gave a comforting smile and continued, "Ao once said that if you had to choose between 100% to get 0 and 1% to get 1, or 99% to get 0, she would definitely choose the latter. Besides, the possibility that you can take the initiative to talk to Ao and become friends is not necessarily lower than 1%. So if you start to avoid it without even trying, isn't it too hasty?"

When Kikuko heard Aine's words of comfort, she raised her head and looked at Aine hopefully, and asked, "Did she really say that?"

Aine nodded, took one of the puppy dolls from Kikuko, and said with a smile: "I'll take this one, but please work hard on your own, come on!"

Kikuko looked up at Aine, whose smile was as bright as the sun, and was stunned. When Aine turned around and left with the doll, the sunlight that had been blocked by Aine pierced Kikuko's face, making her feel the glare of the midday sun.

……

The group arrived at the place where they had booked a meal. Nothing special happened during the meal, except that the monitor received a phone call and came back with a look of astonishment. The others asked the monitor what happened, and the monitor just said that someone else was coming after the class.

When others heard that someone was going to come, they didn't find it strange. After all, there were many people who were invited but didn't come. Maybe they were going to come anyway, but were delayed in the morning by something, and then rushed to the afternoon session after finishing their work. This is also very normal.

After lunch, everyone came to the KTV. The big private room had been reserved long ago, so Aiyin and the others just needed to go in and find a good seat. However, someone went to the beverage machine to pour drinks for everyone and brought them over. She asked everyone what drinks they wanted, and when it came to Aiyin, she asked, "Aiyin, what do you want?"

Aine subconsciously put her index finger to her lips and answered, “For me…lemon water? It is said that lemon water has the effect of whitening the skin.”

When the people around heard that lemon water can actually whiten the skin, they all shouted in surprise: "Really? Then I'll have lemon water too. Where did Xiao Aiyin hear that?"

Aiyin, who was asked, thought about the person who told her this, and then thought about the current relationship between the two of them. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer, so she just laughed and said: "Ahaha, someone told me this when I came here before."

Although Aine's words were vague, no one cared. Apparently, the girls didn't need a more convincing scientific investigation, and just the advice of their friends was enough to convince them.

Aiyin breathed a sigh of relief, but soon it was time to request songs. In order to avoid anyone being left out, it was decided that everyone had to request a song at the beginning.

However, when it was Aine's turn, songs like Sumimi, which were very popular among girls, had already been selected. Aine, who had been out of the Japanese cultural circle for more than a month, couldn't think of any songs that would not go wrong. After all, Aine still cared about her image in everyone's mind. Singing hip-hop among a group of girls might be labeled as strange.

So Aiyin tried hard to search the music library in her mind, and somehow she chose a song - "Secret Base ~Everything You Gave Me~".

"Wow, Xiao Aiyin has great taste. We can all sing this song together!"

The next student who took over the song-ordering machine saw the song Aiyin ordered and praised it.

Aiyin tweaked the position of her buttocks and said with a smile: "This is because I didn't perform well when I sang this song before, so I thought I would try again today..."

"That's it."

Apparently the other party didn't really care about Aine's answer, as she had already started to order her own songs, and only responded to Aine in her spare time.

Aine remembered what someone said when they brought lights to karaoke: "We will soon add our colors to your important memories!"

Really, I should have been talking to Deng, but why are my memories also stained with your color?

After that, everyone ordered their own songs and started to sing, and Aine naturally joined in. When it was Aine's turn to order "SecretBase ~All You Gave Me~", since it was originally a chorus song, almost everyone joined in the singing, but there were definitely not enough microphones for so many people, so there was a scene where two or three people squeezed together and sang into the microphone.

Although there were more people and the space was more crowded, Aine was pressed tightly against her classmates on both sides, but she was still completely immersed in the mood of the song and sang it perfectly.

Everyone was also moved by Ain's passionate performance, and some even started to wipe away tears and said, "Little Ain sang so well, I felt like crying."

Aiyin put down the microphone, picked up her lemonade and took a sip, then smiled and responded: “It is indeed a song that makes people want to cry with happiness, but the story it depicts is not a happy one…”

The others became interested when they heard Aiyin's sentimental words and asked, "What kind of story is it?"

However, Aine actually didn't know, she was just following the words of the person in her memory.

Just when Aiyin was trying to fool around, a cold voice came from the door of the box: "Even if you leave this world, even if you forget your promise, you still have to stick to your promise. This is the determination of a deceased person to the person she loves and their promise."

When everyone heard this unexpected answer, they all looked towards the place where the voice came from and showed incredible expressions.

"They actually came..."

The squad leader still couldn't believe what he said.

"Huh? I don't think I invited her?"

This is the event organizer assuming that the other party will not come back and will not invite the other party.

"..."

This is Kikuko who has stood up without realizing it.

There was a tall and beautiful girl with black hair and short ponytail standing at the door. Although her clothes were a little casual, her cold and elegant temperament like a flower on the mountain still made people unable to take their eyes away and dare not speak.

The girl's cold voice reached everyone's ears, and she said, "I heard that all the classmates in the class can come to participate, so I came. I hope it didn't disrupt your plans?"

The girl's words made the students look at each other, then quickly shook their heads and said, "No, we are very happy that you can come."

The girl nodded, then looked at Aiyin who had just put down the microphone and was holding a half-cup of lemonade in her hand. She walked in front of her with a half-smile and said, "You sing really well."

The girl's words made everyone focus their attention on Aine, which made Aine's heart skip a beat. She hurriedly put down the half cup of lemonade and stammered, "Ah, um...thank you for the compliment."

The girl nodded and walked to Aine’s seat. The students who were originally sitting in this seat were very considerate and squeezed to the side, making room for Aine’s seat.

The girl sat down naturally and put her head close to Aine's ear and whispered: "My name is Yanagisawa Aoki, you can call me whatever you like, we are classmates, transfer students."

Chapter 67 Fairy tale, drama, and promise.

What is a fairy tale? A fairy tale is the purest romantic fantasy, a symbol of innocence and beauty, and an eternal paradise.

So, when the girl was entangled in the quagmire of falsehood and reality, wondering whether to indulge in the present or seek the future, wanting to forget but repeatedly seeing the other person's shadow, the person who caused her uneasy confusion and ecstasy suddenly appeared in front of her. Isn't this a fairy tale belonging to the girl?

At this moment, Aiyin felt as if she was in a fairy tale, and Qing was the character that countless children pinned their hopes on and would eventually appear like a hero.

Although you have made a vow to forget everything, the memories have been stained with the color of the other person. Even if the other person is not around, there are always some things that can evoke memories of the other person. Then, when you are missing and entangled, the other person appears in front of you, and you only know how much you want to see her.

Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: Great, it’s Liu Zeqing, we are saved!

Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put his sexy lips close to Aine's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My name is Yanagisawa Qing, you can call me whatever you like, we are classmates, transfer students."

Just like how Qing introduced himself to Aine when they first met, but at that time they were just strangers who "met by chance", and now they are classmates.

At this moment, the melody of the next song sounded, and Aine smiled as brightly as when they first met, and responded: "My name is Chihaya Aine, just call me Aine. Can I call you Qingqing?"

Qing suppressed the smile that was about to overflow, and responded in a tacit and cold voice: "I said, you can call me whatever you like."

……

Yanagi Aoki is not a person who would treat a promise as an empty promise, so she will not forget the promise to go buy a guitar with Aine tomorrow.

Even though this agreement was not made by her, and even though she and Aine had vowed to forget everything, Qing still didn't want to break it.

But how can we "forget" the past with Aine and still keep the appointment? It's simple, just get to know Aine again before tomorrow and make this appointment again.

So, after coming out of the police station and the fight was over, Qing immediately asked the teacher for the contact information of several classmates in the class, such as the class monitor or the central figure with a wide social circle.

Because Qing's original mobile phone did not have the contact information of these people, the system naturally would not add these people's contact information when automatically simulating her, so Qing needed to ask the class teacher for it.

At this time, Qing didn't know which small group in the class invited Aiyin. Aiyin basically got along well with everyone in the class, and Qing originally wanted to ask them one by one.

However, when I called the class monitor for the first time, I found out that this was actually a voluntary activity for the class, but they seemed to have assumed that I would not participate so they did not invite me.

Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, if it wasn't for the agreement, she wouldn't have participated in such entertainment activities among girls. She still had to make up for the part-time hours, write songs, and make up for the school uniforms.

It was just that the trip to the police station had already delayed them for the entire morning, so they just had a quick bite at noon and rushed to the next place Aine and the others were going to, which happened to be the karaoke bar that Qing, Aine, and Deng had been to before.

On the way here, Qing asked the class leader what songs they had ordered, and when he saw "Secret Base ~ All You Gave Me ~", he guessed that this was the song that Aiyin had ordered. So before arriving at the box where they were, he waited outside the door until the song was finished before entering, which allowed Qing to enter at the perfect time just now.

Actually, Qing didn't plan to fast forward to sitting next to Aine and introducing themselves to each other at the beginning. She originally planned to get along with other people in the class first, so that she could talk to Aine naturally later and complete their first meeting again.

But when Qing saw Aiyin, who had just finished singing the song she had sung with her before, holding a half-glass of lemonade and looking at her with a dreamy and blurred look in her eyes, Qing threw all the so-called gradual and logical things out of her mind.

At the same time, Qing also understood that Aiyin had no way to forget everything about their past. Perhaps she had only forgotten the unpleasant parts, while the good memories were deeply engraved in her heart.

Isn't it the same for Qing? If she puts aside the system factors and forgets the good old days in this world, she may find no reason to continue moving forward in this world, just as she said to Xiangzi.

No need to say more, the girl's confused eyes speak louder than words, Qing A went up...

After reviewing Qing's mental journey and returning to the present, although the two had completed their "first acquaintance", the progress that exceeded expectations made them speechless for a while. They just watched the song MV on the big screen together and listened to the singing of their classmates in the box.

The two people who have "forgotten everything" naturally cannot just pick a topic and continue chatting like before. At this time, the two people are like "the most familiar strangers". Although they know a lot about each other's preferences and topics of interest, they still have to pretend not to know and remain reserved.

Even with this silence, it seemed like the two of them had an inexplicable tacit understanding.

"Qing, here you go. Don't be polite now that you're here. Just order as many songs as you want."

A classmate handed the karaoke machine to Qing and said in a friendly manner.

Qing took the song-ordering machine, but did not order a song right away. Instead, he turned to Ain and asked, "I'm not interested in singing, so I don't know what song to order. Ain, do you have any recommendations?"

Aiyin looked at Qing's serious expression and couldn't help but smile. She covered her mouth secretly and said, "How about "If You Can Shine"? My band seems to want to practice this song recently. I think it's great."

Qing's eyes lit up when she heard Aine talking about the band. She was worrying about how to deal with her relationship with Aine in the band. After all, she said she wanted to forget everything, but the relationship between classmates was fine. Classmates could be considered as strangers.

But the relationship between the band members is there. If Qing forgets her relationship with Aine, her situation in the band will become very strange. She was invited to join the band by Aine, and she was a staunch supporter of Aine before. It is difficult for her to pretend that they are strangers.

But just like Ao could get acquainted with Aine again and renew their promise before tomorrow, if Aine could invite Ao to join the band again, then everything would make sense.

Thinking of this, Qing started to operate the song selection machine and asked casually: "Is that so, Aine, you are playing in a band."
