In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Chen Xinghua corrected himself again, "There's a big difference between being vain and being the center of attention."

“Aine, the failure you’re dwelling on right now doesn’t make much sense anymore.”

Chen Xinghua met Chihaya Aine's confused eyes and said, "Life won't give you a second chance."

Life will not give Chihaya Aine a third chance. Chihaya Aine thought so.

...It's a blessing to have a second chance.

So this time we can’t make the wrong decision.

"It's not a very important thing anyway."

Chen Xinghua said nonchalantly, "If you fail studying abroad, you fail studying abroad. There are so many people in this world who fail because they can't adapt to life in a foreign country."

"You're not the only one here, Aine... not to mention this is a food desert like England."

“This food desert is so hard to adapt to.”

“In fact, there are many famous restaurants in London, England.”

Chihaya Aine retorted, "...even though most famous restaurants serve French cuisine."

“The fish and chips were awful.”

Chihaya Aine's expression darkened.

Her study abroad life was actually very short, not even a semester.

However, the delicious food of the British Empire left a particularly deep impression on Chihaya Aine.

"I'll take you to eat something later, just to comfort your stomach."

Chen Xinghua said sympathetically that the British people's cooking skills were so bad that it seemed as if there were bombers hovering over their heads.

"Okay."

Chihaya Aine happily agreed.

Visiting the aquarium with lifelong friends, having dinner with lifelong friends... this is the life she wants.

Especially when this lifelong friend is not only not a pressure-monster who likes to put pressure on others, but is also a good friend who gives you warmth.

"I haven't had anything edible in a long time."

There was more sympathy in Chen Xinghua's gaze as he cast towards Chihaya Aine's body.

“Eatable” food…Aine, what did you eat when you were studying abroad?

"Let the past be the past, the important thing is what to do next."

"Life will not come back... The right thing to do is to learn from the past and live the rest of your life well."

That’s right…Chihaya Aine agreed in her heart.

And now she had the answer to the question she had been thinking about.

If I were not so vain, I would not have suffered the torture of failure in studying abroad, nor would I have been stressed to death by the group of pressure monsters in the band.

But this also means that he can't go to the aquarium to see the penguins with Xinghua after the band practice.

Chapter 66: Aiyin, Xinghua, where did you go?

But Chihaya Aine suddenly remembered something.

Hmm... It seems that my meeting with Xinghua was not because of the band, but simply because I received my own memories from a parallel universe, and he picked me up and took me to the hospital after I fainted.

The reason why she was here with him at the aquarium was not because they were in the same band, but simply because Chen Xinghua treated her as a friend.

After all, Chen Xinghua only invited Chihaya Aine to come out and play, and had no intention of inviting Takamatsu Deng, Nagasaki Suyo, Shiina Riki, and Lenai.

So the band is redundant?

When this idea took root in Chihaya Aine's mind, it lingered for a long time.

If there were no band, I could still be here with Xinghua, watching the penguins.

Because the person Xinghua invited was his friend Chihaya Aine, not Chihaya Aine, a member of the unnamed band.

At most, you can just take more initiative and invite him to come over and play.

Do you lack initiative?

No, I’m not the kind of person who gets socially anxious and hides in a box when I see people.

In other words, the band is redundant? It's hard for Chihaya Aine not to come to this conclusion.

Even without a band, she can still play with Chen Xinghua.

But with the band, she could only play with Chen Xinghua after he came to practice on weekends.

Because she usually has to practice in the practice room with everyone in the band that is the carrier of the revival of "CRYCHIC".

This means that Chihaya Aine usually has no time to take the train to places that are a little further away.

Then wait until the final optimization moment.

As long as Deng optimized me out, our relationship from then on was limited to ordinary friends in the class.

"How's this sushi restaurant? It has high reviews online."

Chen Xinghua took out his cell phone and carefully selected the restaurant he would go to with Chihaya Aine.

"This sukiyaki restaurant looks pretty good."

When some people are sad, they turn their grief and anger into appetite and empty their wallets.

...So perhaps the trauma of the soul can be healed by delicious food.

"Aine, what do you want to eat? Sushi, Sukiyaki, or something else..."

Chen Xinghua looked up at Chihaya Aine.

"Anything is fine, as long as it's not fish and chips with stargazing."

Chihaya Aine took a step out of the quagmire of the past.

Right now, Chihaya Aine needs food to eat... and more importantly, she needs warmth that is within her reach.

"Wait a minute, someone seems to have sent a message."

The notifications that kept popping up on the phone were reflected in Chen Xinghua's pupils.

So he clicked on the chat software with his index finger and saw the source of the notification.

...It's a lamp.

"Where did you go?"

"Can you tell me?"

The message was constantly withdrawn and resent, with slight changes each time it was withdrawn.

But the general meaning has not changed, they are all asking where Chen Xinghua and Chihaya Aine went after the practice.

Why did Deng send this information? Chen Xinghua was a little puzzled.

"Deng, is something wrong? Is there extra practice in the band? Do you want us to go back and continue practicing? But it's so late now..."

After Chen Xinghua sent out this message, Deng's repeated withdrawal and resending of the message suddenly stopped.

After a while, the new message reappeared in the chat bar.

"Because I don't know where you went."

The lamp replied.

"We went to the aquarium."

Chen Xinghua replied, "Deng, you don't think we're in any danger, do you?"

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Aine and I are no longer at the age where we need to be supervised by adults.”

"Besides, this isn't Los Santos where no one cares if you rob a car. It's very safe."

"The nymphomaniac that day was just a rare and unexpected incident."

If my hands had not been forcibly controlled that day, how could I have let that nympho almost lead the dragon directly?

"Don't worry about the lights. I know what's going on."

"I'm lost."

Deng’s reply suddenly made Chen Xinghua confused.

"?"

Chen Xinghua suddenly felt that he couldn't understand what Deng was thinking.

Are today's female high school students so difficult to understand?

Chen Xinghua took another look at the message sent by Deng to make sure he had not read a single word wrong.

This is the message sent by the light.

"Will you get lost with me?"

Deng extended an invitation to Chen Xinghua.

Deng didn't know how to form a band for life, so she was lost.

Now she wants Chen Xinghua and Chihaya Aine to get lost with her.

"Um, do you want to use navigation software? Deng, I recommend this software..."

Chen Xinghua was a little confused about the meaning of the light.

Getting lost with her, what does that mean.

If you get lost, it should be okay to use a map or navigation software.

But no matter what, the lostness that Deng mentioned doesn’t seem to be lost on a physical level.

"I have no idea what Deng is thinking."

Chen Xinghua raised his head and said to Chihaya Aine.

"Did Deng send you a message too?"

Chihaya Aine put down her phone and looked at Chen Xinghua's face.

"Sent."

Chen Xinghua replied.

"Did she also message you about getting lost together?"

Chihaya Aine observed this with her excellent eyesight.

"Yeah, it's also been sent."

Chen Xinghua nodded.

Chihaya Aine didn't know why Takamatsu Deng sent messages to her and Chen Xinghua.

But I think this should be an insignificant matter.

So Chihaya Aine put this matter behind her and planned to do something more important.

"Can we go eat now? Well, I'm a little hungry."

Because of the memory of "Chihaya Aion", Chihaya Aion did not feel at all that the lamp would exert gravity on both her and Chen Xinghua.

After all, "Chihaya Aine" has been optimized out.

If the light had gravity, would it allow Chihaya Aine to be optimized out?

So don't worry about Takamatsu Deng.

"Are we leaving now?"

Chen Xinghua glanced at the time on his mobile phone. It was less than half an hour since they arrived at the aquarium.

But since Aine wants to, let’s go eat.
