Li Xi originally planned to tell Takamatsu Deng about this matter.

She looked at Deng's eyes and said cautiously: "Well, this matter is not convenient to talk about online, I plan to tell you in person. In fact, in addition to Aine, Mizuno Ai's concert is also related to Su Shi and Xiangzi..."

“… Xiangzi?”

Gao Songdeng was a little confused. He didn't expect that this matter would involve Xiangzi.

Li Xi nodded, and then told everything he had heard from Hachiman Hailing, as well as the clues he had compiled.

As Gao Songdeng listened, his eyes began to waver and his nose felt a little sore.

She suddenly felt very wronged.

Obviously, she is the one who wants to form a band for life.

It was obvious that I was one of the victims in that torn stage.

But why was she the one who was left out in the end?

Why would Aiyin rather reconcile with Su Shi, who once hurt her, rather than give herself another chance?

Li Xi was immediately furious when he saw this, and angrily criticized Su Shi: "Su Shi's behavior is really unkind!"

"I even suspect that she and Aine have discussed this privately. Their goal is to kick us both out and enjoy a life of their own with that extra stray cat!"

“No, Aine isn’t like that, and neither is Suyo. There must be a misunderstanding…”

Gao Songdeng was actually very sober at this moment.

She raised her head with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Lixi... I want to go see Su Shi. Could you please take me with you? I want to ask her in person what happened."

"This one……"

Li Xi was a little embarrassed, but quickly said, "No problem, let's go find Su Shi now! If my friend is not mistaken, Su Shi should be at the Xingchuan Office at this time..."

Li Xi immediately took out his cell phone and called Hachiman Hailing, asking if Su Shi was with her and whether it would be convenient for her to meet him.

At this moment, Hachiman Kailing, who was in the office, glanced at Nagasaki Suyo, who was diligently adjusting the sound system and musical instruments not far away from her, and said to Li Xi:

"If I'm being frank, I'm not sure she'd be willing to see you. How about this: I'll tell you the address, and when you get downstairs at the office, I'll find an excuse to ask her out so you can see her."

Hachiman Kailing didn't want to refuse Li Xi's request, so she came up with this idea.

"please!"

Hachiman Hailing told Riki the location and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Li Xi arrived downstairs of Xingchuan Office with a lamp.

When Hai Ling received the message again, she looked up at Su Shi and said to her in a slightly stiff tone: "Su Shi, there is a dessert shop downstairs. Can you help me buy a few donuts there? I will pay you later."

Su Shi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the cool-looking Hachiman Kailing, who had hardly talked to her in the past few days, would suddenly ask her to run errands.

However, she quickly agreed. After all, her job as an assistant was to handle miscellaneous matters, run errands and order takeout, which was part of her job.

Su Shi walked out of the office without any doubt. When she was thinking about whether to buy some more desserts to give to Aine and the others, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, and the next second, a hand grabbed her collar.

"Nagasaki Suyo, I finally caught you!"

Su Shi was so shocked that he almost dropped the wallet in his hand.

She turned her head and saw Shiina Riki with an angry face, and Takamatsu Deng standing behind her with a complicated look in his eyes.

Su Shi looked at the two people in front of him in surprise and asked in astonishment: "Li Xi, why are you here? And there is... a light?"

"Hey, is there any trouble here? Do you need any help?"

The security guard saw the dispute happening here and came over to stop it, but Su Shi stopped him.

"Don't bother, this is my friend, he's just having a little fight with me."

The security guard looked at her suspiciously, and when he saw that she looked calm, he nodded and left.

"Lixi, I know you have something to say."

Su Shi looked at Li Xi who was pulling her collar, then glanced at the light behind her, and said in a calm tone, "If you are willing, let's find a place to talk."

Ten minutes later, the three of them sat in the window seats of the dessert shop.

Gao Songdeng lowered his head to stir the hot cocoa in front of him. He was silent for a long time before he asked softly, "Su Shi, I just want to know one thing... Why can Aiyin reconcile with you, but won't give me another chance?"

When this was mentioned, Su Shi felt a little embarrassed, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the cup.

Could she say that she reconciled with her because she worked as Aine's maid for a day and let Xiangzi see her at her most humble side, and Aine felt sorry for her?

Su Shi was not sure how to explain it, so she said vaguely, "It's a bit complicated... Anyway, we went through a lot of twists and turns, and it was thanks to Aine that we were able to reconcile."

Deng bit her lip, her eyes fell on the rim of the cup, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

She was jealous that Su Shi could reconcile with Aine, but she was consciously avoided by Aine.

As if she had seen what Takamatsu Deng was thinking, Su Shi thought for a moment and said carefully: "Deng, it's not that Aine doesn't want to reconcile, but she doesn't want to give you unrealistic hope. She already has teammates, so..."

"I know that!"

Gao Songdeng suddenly interrupted Su Shi loudly, "You mean, as long as I give up forming a band, we can be friends again, right?"

"But...if I give up, then I won't be special to Aine anymore. We won't have anything in common and will just be an ordinary classmate. Sooner or later, we'll drift apart! I don't want that. I want to be friends with Aine for life!"

For a moment, Li Xi and Su Shi were stunned, looking at Takamatsu Deng in surprise at his sudden outburst.

It turns out that Takamatsu Deng knows everything. She knows that Aine is avoiding her, and she knows that as long as she gives up her obsession with "forming a band for life", she can reconcile with Aine.

But... she didn't want that. She didn't want to be just ordinary friends with Aine, so she kept stubbornly trying to pull Aine back.

Li Xi suddenly felt a little sour.

Why did Deng care about Aine so much but never said such words to her?

However, to her surprise and delight, Gao Songdeng whispered in a trembling voice:

"Not only Aine, but also Riki, and you, Sushi... I want to be friends with you all for life, and walk side by side with you. Is this wish... really that difficult to achieve?"

Li Xi's eyes were slightly hot, and he suddenly held Deng's hand and said quickly: "Regardless of others, I swear that I will accompany you to the end!"

Su Shi looked at the girl in front of him who was once sensitive and a little autistic. Now she seemed like a different person and spoke out her thoughts. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Deng, I understand your feelings. I also want to be your lifelong friend. However, Aine already has a band and gets along well with her current teammates. There's no way she'll return to Mygo..."

In the past few days, Su Shi has also been in contact with Lupa, Miao Meng and others. Ain's position in the team is like a "group pet", which is completely different from the marginal role she played in Mygo.

Only then did Su Shi understand Aine. If it were her, she would not be willing to leave her current team and return to the depressing atmosphere.

"So, Deng, you should give up this path..."

Sushi still wanted to persuade Takamatsu Deng to stop being obsessed with a lifelong relationship. However, Takamatsu Deng suddenly asked: "Sushi, aren't you with Aine now? How did you stay in this agency?"

Su Shi was stunned by this question. After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth in self-deprecating manner.

"...I'm currently working as an assistant for the band Thorns and Thorns. Actually, I originally wanted to be a bassist, but my performance was terrible, so I was eliminated."

Li Xi crossed his arms and sneered, "I know that. You wanted to form a band with Xiangzi, right? But he ignored you. It's really embarrassing to try to please a cold butt."

Su Shi was suddenly a little flustered, her eyes widening in surprise: "...How did you know!? Did Aine tell you?"

“Not Aine.”

Li Xi curled his lips and said calmly, "It was Hai Ling. She is my friend, and she was the one who told me where you are now."

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "So that's how it is..."

No wonder she was caught by Li Xi and the others. It turns out there was a "traitor".

Su Shi was silent for a moment, then he stopped hiding his feelings and expressed his feelings earnestly:

"It's just as you said. I've been so eager for her but ended up getting so cold. Xiangzi doesn't even want to look at me. But I... I still want to make peace with her, even if there's only a tiny chance."

Li Xi suddenly frowned and felt a sense of "déjà vu".

“It sounds… like Aine’s attitude towards Tou is similar.”

She tutted.

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Su Shi clearly couldn't let go of Xiangzi, but she still spoke so shamelessly here, and tried her best to persuade Gao Songdeng to let go.

It’s like a person who acts as a “spiritual mentor” on the Internet and says a lot of sobering speeches, asking men to spend their money on themselves.

However, in reality, this person is also a loser. He spent most of the money he earned on the woman he had been married to for only a few months, and he couldn't even afford the lawyer fees for the divorce.

It's just... quite funny.

As long as things don't happen to you, you will always be sober.

Li Xi looked at Su Shi with some contempt in his eyes, and Su Shi took a sip of coffee a little embarrassedly.

Just when Su Shi thought that Deng would also mock her for her "inconsistency between words and deeds", she suddenly found that Deng had been keeping his head down, thinking about something, as if he didn't care about their conversation at all.

After a moment, Takamatsu Deng suddenly raised his head and said seriously, "I've come up with an idea. Since we can't be Aine's teammate, we can be her colleagues like Suze."

"Colleague? Are we going to be assistants too?"

Li Xi frowned and said reluctantly, "I don't want to serve her just to make peace with that guy."

For Li Xi, as long as there is a light, it is enough. She does not care whether she can reconcile with Su Shi and Aine.

Having said that, she paused again and glanced at the lamp secretly: "...But if you really want to, I can help you."

Unexpectedly, Deng shook his head.

"No, when I say 'colleague' I don't mean assistant. I mean we can reunite as a band and join Hoshikawa Agency as band members, just like Aine."

Deng explained in a serious tone, "As long as we're in the same work environment and doing the same thing as Aine, we'll have the same topics and similar experiences. Even if we're not in the same band, we can still maintain a connection with each other... just like Suyo is now."

Su Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at Gao Songdeng in surprise.

She had never thought that Gao Songdeng could actually come up with such a "roundabout way to save the country", and it seemed... this method was very feasible?

This is truly "astonishing wisdom"!

"Sushi, what do you think? Let's reunite the band...!"

Gao Songdeng held Su Shi's hand and invited her seriously.

"This one……"

Su Shi hesitated for a moment, but still declined. "Go ahead, you guys, but forget it. I already have a job..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Xi suddenly became furious and glared at her: "You talk as if we really need you. We can still find another bassist without you! Hai Ling is much better than you in both character and bass skills. Your departure is actually a reinforcement for us!"

Li Xi has disliked Su Shi for a long time.

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

Nagasaki Suyo acts like a young lady all day long, deliberately holding her hairpin and making pretentious sounds. She is simply a "pretender".

If Deng wasn't there and she didn't want to be too rude, she would have wanted to tear off Su Shi's "mask".

Who are you pretending for?

"Lixi, don't say that..."

Gao Songdeng reached out and patted Li Xi's hand, dissuading her gently. Then he said to Su Shi, "Su Shi, you are just a temporary assistant, right? After this concert, you will lose your job and have no reason to stay in this agency, right?"

"Don't you want to reconcile with Xiangzi? The only way to do that is to stay here, right?"

"You, me, Riki, and... Lenai, we can reunite Mygo even without Aine."

"If you're willing to reunite with us, then we won't have a keyboard player. Xiangzi might even join us as a 'temporary keyboardist'...wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to fulfill your wish?"

Su Shi was speechless for a moment.

She really didn't expect that Gao Songdeng could come up with such a reasonable and realistic plan.

Is this still the Deng in her impression who is always a step behind and has a childish mind?

This plan not only allows Deng to maintain her connection with Aine, but also provides her with a reasonable way to get closer to Xiangzi, so that everyone can have a bright future.

Has Gao Songdeng finally come to her senses?

During this time when Aine ignored her, she really grew up...

Su Shi's expression changed slightly, and the look he gave Gao Songdeng became more serious.

She was silent for a few seconds before she slowly spoke: "...Let me think about it."
