Even the only thing that had once made Aine sad was quickly resolved, and then a romantic and reassuring oath was made... It can be said that Chihaya Aine's future is bright.
This made Aiyin temporarily forget the failed experience of studying in the UK that once made her suffer so much - until today when she met her junior high school classmate.
"Ah, it's really you, President Chihaya! I thought I was seeing things!"
"Great! It's been a long time since we last met, Chihaya-san... But didn't you go to London? Are you back from vacation?"
That day, Aine finally recalled the fear she once felt when she was dominated by English food, and the humiliation of being forced to flee back to Tokyo...
"Um, well...sort of?"
Aiyin responded vaguely with a guilty conscience.
Unlike the original work where Aine met these two people after her defense was broken, the current Aine, firstly, her defense was not broken by Riki, and secondly, she was wearing casual clothes. They didn't know that Aine had already entered Yugaoka, so it gave them more room for imagination.
These two junior high school classmates of Aine believed from the beginning that Aine would be able to study in the UK, so they quickly thought of an excuse for Aine, and Aine agreed.
"Huh? President Chihaya didn't even tell us that she was back. I remember that you didn't update your social media about going to Japan... Come to think of it, you haven't updated your social media for a long time either."
"Well... have you been busy lately?"
The more they talked about this topic, the more Aine started to sweat.
“How is life and study in the UK? We are very curious!”
"If it's President Chihaya, you will surely meet many gentlemen and ladies. Do you have any noble friends?"
Seeing the two people getting more and more excited, the topic gradually turned to a direction that Aine couldn’t fool but didn’t want to answer.
Aiyin had no choice but to change the subject: "Well, I have an appointment with a friend, so I'll excuse myself first."
However, Aiyin had forgotten how she used to get along with these classmates. At that time, she would always pretend to casually say something she wanted to show off, which would cause others to ask her in amazement. Then she would be humble again, and then pretend to be nonchalant and talk about her own strengths, enjoying the praise from others.
At this time, the two classmates heard Aine mention her friend, and they habitually wondered if this friend of Aine was someone that Aine could be proud of. So they not only did not let Aine go, but asked more excitedly: "Friend? Is President Chihaya's friend a foreigner? Is he a British aristocrat who came to Japan for a tour?"
"Eh? No, we're just ordinary friends."
Aine quickly denied it, but in the eyes of her junior high school classmates, Aine had already entered the stage of modesty.
"President Chihaya's ordinary appearance is not ordinary to us!"
"Can we go with President Chihaya to meet your friends? Let us see the world too!"
"No, that's not good, right? The trip we originally booked was for only two people..."
Aiyin avoided the gaze of her junior high school classmates and protested quietly.
"Eh? Are you on a date? I feel like going to see it even more."
"It should be okay to sneak over and take a look at what Chihaya-san's boyfriend looks like. Is he a British gentleman? He must be very handsome, right?"
Seeing the topic was getting diverted, Aiyin could only stammer and explain: “Uh, no, the other person is a girl.”
"If you're a girl, what's wrong with taking us along? Introduce your friends to us, too!"
"No, I heard that same-sex relationships seem to be very popular in the UK. Could it be that..."
After saying that, the two girls looked at Aine with questioning eyes at the same time. For some reason, Aine felt a little guilty, but she bluffed and loudly retorted: "I told you that we are just ordinary friends!"
Although Aine seemed very confident when she spoke, for some reason the two still felt that Aine's behavior was suspicious, and they also became more curious about this "ordinary friend" of Aine.
"In that case, it's okay to take us along, right? Don't worry, if you're worried that we'll disturb your schedule, we can just meet once and leave."
The two of them have already made concessions to Aine and reached a reasonable situation. Under normal circumstances, their request would have been relatively reasonable, but Aine does not want them to meet Qing because Aine has concealed the truth from them.
In addition to being worried about exposing the fact that she had failed in her study abroad and had fled back from England in disgrace, Aiyin also didn't want Qing to see her embarrassing side. She was vain, arrogant, fragile, and fled in a hurry. She then tried to hide the truth. If Qing knew about this, Qing would definitely be disappointed.
Even if Qing is still willing to continue to be friends with such a terrible self, Aiyin will no longer know how to face Qing.
"Forget it. I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first."
So Aine could only forcibly interrupt the topic and quickly left the place.
The two girls looked at each other, and one girl suggested: "Let's follow quietly."
Another girl said hesitantly: "But President Chihaya seemed reluctant to let us go..."
"What's the matter? We just want to see who her friend is. We won't disturb them and we won't tell anyone about it. We can just hide quietly and not let them find us. You also want to meet President Chihaya's friend, right?"
"That makes sense. Let's go."
After saying that, the two secretly followed Aine’s footsteps. Perhaps because they had entered Tsuki no Mori as high school students, Aine didn’t notice them at all. So they followed Aine until she came to the entrance of RING, and then they hesitated.
"Want to go in?"
"If we go in now, there's a good chance we'll be discovered, right?"
"What should we do then? We don't know how long President Chihaya and her friends will stay in there."
"Let's wait outside for a while, at least until President Chihaya lets down her guard before we sneak in quietly."
Inside the RING, Aiyin met Lixi at the bar before she met Qing. After they greeted each other politely, there was no extra small talk. Lixi then pointed to the corner where Qing was for Aiyin.
Aiyin turned her head and looked in the direction that Lixi pointed, and sure enough, she saw Qing sitting there. At this time, Qing also noticed Aiyin and was waving at her.
When Aiyin saw that Qing immediately noticed her presence, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, and the bad mood she had just met with her junior high school classmates and recalled the bad past disappeared without a trace.
Aiyin first smiled and waved to Qingye, then turned to look at Lixi and said with a smile: "Thank you Lixi for showing me the way, and thank you for accompanying Qingqing before I came here."
After saying that, Aiyin walked towards Qing's table with a bright smile. Seeing Aiyin's joyful expression, Lixi couldn't help but feel disgusted by her boasting. He curled his lips and muttered, "We just went to buy a guitar together, why are you so happy..."
So Li Xi silently remembered the smug look of this stinky pink-haired guy in his heart, and secretly thought that he must not be soft-hearted when he has the chance to persecute the stinky pink-haired guy in the future.
On the other side, Aiyin walked to the opposite side of Qing and sat down in the seat where Lixi had sat not long ago. She smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Qingqing."
Aoya nodded and responded, "Good morning, Aine. You look cuter today than you did yesterday."
A person who knows how to talk can make people happy just by talking. Qing's simple compliment made Ain's tone of voice rise a little. Ain asked slyly: "Then let me ask you, how am I cuter today than yesterday?"
Qing was not stumped by Aine's question. She just looked around, as if to confirm if anyone was watching them. After confirming, Qing leaned forward, stuck her head out, and said softly, "Lovely, you came for me today."
"Eh?"
Aine had thought that Qing would compliment her on her dress and makeup. After all, although she went out early today after receiving the news that Qing had arrived at RING, she still dressed herself more carefully and meticulously than when she went out yesterday.
However, Aine didn't expect Qing to ignore all this and hit the ball with a powerful straight shot that hit the strike zone in Aine's heart. This made Aine's heart beat faster.
"Sure enough, I still need to drink something... I feel a little hot from walking just now."
After saying that, Aiyin went to the freezer and bought a bottle of cold drink as if nothing had happened.
During this time, Aiyin noticed that Qing's eyes were always staring at her. Even after she sat down and took a few sips of cold drinks, Qing was still looking at Aiyin. Aiyin felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked: "Why are you staring at me?"
Qing tilted his head, as if he was a little confused as to why Aine asked such a question, and asked back: "If I'm not looking at you, am I looking at someone else?"
Aiyin was so shocked by Qing's question that her hand holding the bottle cap paused for a moment, and then she continued her movements as if nothing had happened, saying in a nonchalant tone: "It's your own freedom to see who you want to be, I won't care about you."
But Qing immediately responded to Aine's words: "Then I still like looking at you."
Aiyin felt that her heart, which had finally calmed down after being poured with cold drinks, was becoming restless again. She complained to Qing with some resentment: "Hey, Qingqing, you are so cunning to talk like that!"
It's just that Aiyin didn't know that her complaint just now would be more like a spoiled child in the eyes of anyone else. Qing finally couldn't hold back her sullen face under Aiyin's spoiled childishness and couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Hey, you're still laughing!"
Aine continued to “complain” in dissatisfaction.
Qing stopped smiling, leaving only a gentle smile, and said, "I feel happy when I see you, so I smile. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Gu..."
Seeing that Qing was about to say these embarrassing words to embarrass her, Aiyin decided to fight back and said, "Qingqing looks very beautiful today, and the feeling she gives people is completely different from usual. Did Qingqing dress up specially for me?"
After saying that, Aine looked at Qing with a teasing look, but Qing was unmoved and just nodded and said, "That's true."
Qing's straightforward nod of approval actually confused Aine. Why is the plot different from what she expected? We agreed that everyone would have high attack and low defense. You make me look stupid.
However, Qing did not finish her words, she continued: "But there is one thing I need to make clear, even yesterday I came here for Aine."
Instantly, Qing's figure who appeared like a fairy tale yesterday appeared in Aine's mind again. It is undeniable that Qing's clothes yesterday were very ordinary, but it did not affect Qing's handsomeness in Aine's heart. It was even not inferior to Qing's specially matched clothes today.
So, Qing has been particularly handsome these past two days... and the day before yesterday as well... and Qing even earlier was very good-looking too!
No, why would I suddenly think of such a thing?
Aiyin shook her head, putting aside the unnecessary thoughts in her mind, and said: "Don't forget our main topic today. When are we going to the piano store?"
Although the two of them agreed to go out together today to buy a guitar, if anyone thinks that they were just going to buy a guitar, they are probably an idiot.
Qing and Aine were just going on a date under the guise of buying a musical instrument, but they couldn't say this out loud. After all, they were just good friends, and saying it out loud would seem a bit over the line.
So actually, Aiyin's question was somewhat of a reminder. After all, if they just wanted to buy a musical instrument, Aiyin could have asked if we could go to the music store now. The purpose of asking this question now was to allow Qing to have other options besides going to the music store.
Qing naturally understood what Aine meant. It was better to say that even if Aine hadn't reminded him secretly, Qing would have suggested going somewhere else first. So the current situation was that both of them knew it, but they still had to pretend to go on. Qing made a sincere expression and asked: "Actually, before going to the piano store, I have another place I hope Aine can go with me."
If Qing went to the music store to buy a guitar first, he would have to carry the guitar when he went on a date with Aine later, which might be inconvenient, so Qing of course wanted to go out and play with Aine first before going to the music store.
"Well, it's okay, but where is Qingqing going to take me?"
Aine asked with some anticipation.
"Well, let's keep this a secret for now..."
Qing had no intention of telling Ain. She had thought about this issue for a long time last night. For now, it would be better to let Ain remain a mystery.
After that, the two of them paid and left RING. The two girls hiding nearby also noticed them, but they were a little far away from Ai Qing, so they could only barely confirm that the person who came out with Ai Yin was a girl. So they looked at each other and quietly followed.

Chapter 76 Aquarium, Insight, Take a sharp turn for the worse.
Liu Zeqing is not good at dating.
Since she had never dated in her extra-life, let alone in her current identity as a woman that she had only accepted for a period of time, she was already overwhelmed just by planning a date yesterday.
Not to mention a date, as a non-native Tokyoite, she didn't even know where there were any places worth visiting in Tokyo.
So Qing chose to copy the homework.
Speaking of a place for girls, an aquarium comes to mind. Although Aine may not be a girl, it is a date between girls after all, so it can always be used as a reference.
But Aiyin was speechless yet also touched when she saw Qing walking half a body length in front of her while looking at the navigation on his phone.
If Qing has to use navigation to go to a place, it means that Qing has never been there before, and if he wants to go there today, it means that he is going there because of Aine.
Aiyin felt very happy when she saw someone willing to change herself for her, and she could clearly feel her position in the other person's heart.
Fortunately, Aiqing and the other person were not lost. Even if they had never been here before, they could follow the navigation system and would not get lost. They successfully arrived at the aquarium and entered.
The aquarium is not closed for the Golden Week holiday. On the contrary, holidays are the most popular time for such places. In Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, the street lamp pendants always want to squeeze the value of the venue to the extreme, so the aquarium is open all year round, and even in the evening time, there will be services that are more suitable for the needs of adults.
But after entering the aquarium, Qing didn't know where to go. After all, she didn't really come here to see the fish.
Aiyin also quickly noticed the hesitation in Qing's steps. Knowing that Qing had never been here before, Aiyin easily guessed why Qing was hesitating.
So Aiyin took the initiative to lead the conversation, and walked with Qing, and then walked forward with Qing, saying: "Qingqing, do you like aquatic animals?"
Qing pondered for a moment and said, "As for aquatic products, I still like them."
After all, many seafoods are delicious. And Qing is also fascinated by the mystery and terror of the deep sea. He thinks deep sea monsters and sirens are very cool.
"Alas, I always feel like we are not talking about the same thing."
Aiyin said this with some embarrassment, but she also knew from Qing's words that Qing might not be very interested in the aquarium, or at least not interested in it.
The two walked to an aquarium, and Aiyin couldn't help but look at Qing beside her and asked: "Why did Qingqing want to bring me to the aquarium?"
"Don't you like visiting aquariums, Aine?"
Qing did not answer Aine's question, nor did he even turn around to look at Aine. He just looked at his reflection in the glass wall of the aquarium and asked Aine in return.
Aiyin also followed Qing's line of sight and looked into the aquarium, and saw a school of fish swimming in the same direction at the same time, which was quite spectacular.
“I think it’s quite interesting.”
Aine withdrew her gaze from the parade of fish and answered.
"For me, marine life is like the starry sky. There is a romance in both that I cannot understand."
As he spoke, Qing touched the outer wall of the aquarium with one hand, as if he wanted to feel the romance in it.
"Qingqing..."
Aine thought back to Qing's understanding of astronomy, and seemed to understand Qing's feelings to some extent.
However, what Aine didn't expect was that Qing was really just deliberately making it more mysterious this time. After all, Qing couldn't say that she brought you here because she saw many yuri anime where girls go to the aquarium for dates, right? Isn't this hinting that they are yuri? Besides, this isn't a date, they're just shopping together before selling musical instruments.
