Chapter 279 Selfish...So What?
"Still can't contact Soyorin?" In the rehearsal room, Aine put down her guitar in frustration and looked worriedly at Riki, who had stopped rehearsing due to frequent mistakes. "Xiaomu, too?"
"I can't get in touch with anyone..." The chat box between Li Xi's phone and Su Shi's chat page hasn't popped up for a long time. The last time he heard from Su Shi was at seven in the morning. A short sentence [It's just some private matters at home, it won't take too long] shut Li Xi's mouth.
The bad news is that Su Shi ignores Ain and doesn't reply to her messages, but the good news is that Su Shi treats everyone equally.
No reply to any of them! ╮(‵▽′)╭
"...Go find Su Shi!" Deng slammed the notebook shut, his eyes determined and his expression serious. Li Xi tried his best but couldn't refuse.
"Huh? That... isn't good, interfering in Su Shi's private affairs..."
Light: Stare——
"Everyone still needs to practice. Wildcat's guitar part isn't tuned yet, and Aine's rhythm has so many flaws that we need to re-record it..."
Light: Stare——
"I...Okay, okay! Let's go find Su Shi!"
Li Xi couldn't hold it in any longer. He always felt guilty being looked at like that by Deng. Bullying small animals was a serious crime in the Mygo force...even though he had done nothing wrong.
"That's great..." Deng breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully hugged the helpless Li Xi. The soft touch made the drummers stand at attention, their faces flushed with confusion. "Thank you, Li Xi!"
"Ah, um, no, no... you're welcome."
"Great! Let's get going!"
Without further ado, Aiyin quickly put down her guitar and packed her things. She then woke up little Lenai, who was still drowsy, and without caring about her, she called a taxi with everyone else and headed to the high-rise duplex overlooking the sea and the river...
"Rikki, do you want to guess what's going on in Soyorin's house?"
"There's no need to guess, just ask and you'll know."
"Hey, guess what, guess what, otherwise it's too boring!"
"Ahh... Mom is sick?"
"That's unlikely, isn't it? Aunt Nagasaki is an adult, she'd know to go to the hospital if she's sick, right?"
"Perhaps he fell accidentally and is unable to move, so he needs to be taken care of by Shi?"
"Tomorin and Lenai-chan, do you want to guess?"
"I'm so tired. I don't want to guess. Let the lamp guess."
"Well, I... don't know."
"So I have to guess! Tomorin is so boring!"
"Huh? Aine, what are you talking about? Did you think Deng would be bored enough to play such a ridiculous game with you?"
"Rikki guessed with me, didn't he? He's really saying one thing and thinking another..."
"That's...that's because I'm bored! Stop talking and press the elevator button!"
"Forty-fifth floor...we'll be at the Su family soon."
"Oh...if Su Shi looks upset later, all of you should keep quiet."
"Why? Rikki doesn't look that smart."
"Because I'm the captain... Eh? Su Shi's house is sealed?"
They chatted all the way until they arrived at the door of the familiar Su Shi family. Only then did they find that the originally beautiful wooden door was covered with a bright white seal, and the glue marks on it were still clear and had not dried.
Things suddenly became awkward, and Aine and Ritsuki looked at each other, suddenly not knowing where to go.
No one could have imagined that Mrs. Nagasaki, whom we had placed such high hopes on, would pass away in the port area, at the real estate registration office...
"Something like this actually happened in Soyorin's family..."
Aiyin was feeling a little down, and Lixi was leaning against the wall, not knowing what he was thinking about, but remained silent.
Deng seemed to have remembered something, and asked urgently, as if desperate: "What about the doctor... How about asking the doctor for help? If the doctor says... Hmm!"
Before he finished speaking, Deng himself didn't want to continue. He lowered his head sadly like a baby bird leaving its mother, his pair of deer-like eyes flickering, full of thoughts.
It seems like... we always trouble the doctor, but we can't bring anything to the doctor.
"...Forget it, let's just let Su Shi calm down first. When encountering something like this, it's beyond the ability of a few students like us to handle it."
Li Xi scratched his hair in annoyance, paced back and forth and thought for a long time before coming to this conclusion.
"But...what if, by then, Sushi becomes like Xiangzi...what should we do?"
Deng was a little conflicted. After thinking it over carefully, he was still unwilling to give up the idea of helping Su Shi. He knelt down at the door of Su Shi's house with a determined look in his eyes and a serious expression. Li Xi tried his best but failed to take him away.
"Then we just need to find a way to confirm that Su Shi is alright... There's really nothing else we can do."
An empty corridor, the slanting setting sun, a noisy wind, crows searching for dead branches, and squeaking.
And the silence of the four people.
"Is there really nothing I can do?"
"Apart from cheap concern, there's really nothing we can do to help."
"Then use concern..."
"I've already told you that all we have is cheap concern!" Deng wanted to say something, but suddenly found that he and the black-haired girl had already shed tears, and the crystal tears in their eyes could not stop falling.
"I can't bear to leave Su Shi either... Deng, I can't bear to leave Su Shi either!"
Aine couldn't bear to see her best friend's tears and was about to say something when Lenara walked into the elevator and saw that the two were still facing each other and a white-haired head popped out.
"Go find a doctor."
"But... isn't this too selfish?"
Deng hesitated for a moment and finally stood up. He gently wiped his tears with the back of his hand, but the tears still fell uncontrollably. Li Xi opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He just patted Deng's shoulder and handed him a tissue.
"So what?"
Little Lenai tilted her head and spoke in confusion.
"To be honest, Soyorin is the selfish one. Soyorin is the most selfish!"
Aine seemed to have gotten an idea from Lenai's words, or perhaps she had finally found a reason to convince herself. She took two steps forward and pressed the shoulders of the still hesitant Riki.
"Rikki, you thought about it, hiding it from everyone, taking on all the difficulties by yourself, thinking that you could get through it by hiding it from us... Soyorin is the most selfish person in the world! Selfish and arrogant - right, Tomorin, you think so too, right!?"
"Hey, I...right!"
Now the votes were three to one, and the lights slowly but firmly went into the elevator, leaving Li Xi alone basking in the sunset.
If this were a movie, this would be a hint of the ending... Unfortunately, this is not a movie. It's just four lost people wandering in the fog who accidentally found the direction to the lighthouse.
"Rikki, shall we go?"
"See a doctor and have dinner~"
"Let's help Su Shi together with cheap care!"
The corners of his eyes with tear moles twitched involuntarily, and Li Xi suddenly found that his feet began to move involuntarily. His companions were so close... and getting closer and closer.
"You guys are really... Let's go! Let's find a doctor!"
Selfish... so what?
