Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Not only that, his five senses also seemed to be affected to some extent. A few days ago, when Xiao Xiang called his name from behind, he called it several times but he couldn't hear it clearly. It wasn't until the other person came over and patted his shoulder that Yanming realized what was happening.

Fortunately, no one has noticed anything unusual about him yet, and if he keeps it a secret, it can continue for a while longer.

After Yanming has dealt with most of the matters, and the time is right...

It's time for him to step back.

If I let my relationship with them continue to grow like this, the pain of parting will be even greater in the end.

Hesitation will only lead to more sorrow.

Yanming understood this principle all too well.

[If you want to maintain your current condition, you must go to the hospital for systematic treatment.]

The system gave a very useless suggestion.

"I'm not going to waste my precious weekend lying in a hospital bed all day with a bunch of lights shining on me, you know what I mean." Yanming has his own pride. It's true that he doesn't have many ambitions, but he can't tolerate living just to survive.

Yanming stretched his limbs and smoothly completed a set of radio calisthenics on the balcony before continuing, "See, I'm quite healthy, aren't I?"

[Whatever makes you happy, anyway, you won't listen to me. (whispering)]

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I have to go out." Yanming tidied up his things on the balcony and went inside.

He said he had nothing to do, but actually he did have some.

However, compared to his leisurely life, Xiao Xiang seemed to have suddenly become very busy, spending all his time fooling around with that You Tian Si, sometimes even skipping dinner.

When asked, she mysteriously changed the subject, and Yanming couldn't be bothered to guess her little schemes.

"Jingle Bell……"

The default phone ringtone interrupted Yanming's train of thought.

He answered the phone and put the receiver to his ear: "Hello, Aiyin."

"Yanming-kun, I'm about to head out, and... I have a little surprise for you. I'll tell you when we meet!"

"Ah."

"Hmm—what a bland reaction... Anyway, I'll hang up now, see you later!"

"Beep, beep." The call was disconnected.

This child is as energetic as ever, like a tireless little sun. When you talk to her, you can feel the vitality emanating from her, which makes Yanming a little more energetic as well.

Of course, the two of them weren't planning to go on a date while Xiangzi was away.

It's just a weekly guitar assignment and homework check.

After all, he is now Ai Yin's guitar teacher and his first student, so Yan Ming certainly has no intention of letting him grow up unsupervised.

Before leaving, Aine should learn what he knows, so that it can be considered a legacy.

But what could the surprise that Aine mentioned be...?

Given that kid's personality, I probably brought some trendy items to show him...

……

Ten minutes later, Yanming, dressed in casual clothes, and Sushi, dressed in a floral dress, looked at each other at the entrance of the ring.

Yanming: "..."

Nagasaki Suyo: “…”

What a pleasant surprise!

So surprised that my heart almost stopped when the two met.

Even though he already knew the answer, Yanming still hesitated, clinging to a sliver of hope, and asked, "You... are the surprise that Ai Yin was talking about?"

"You wouldn't happen to be the surprise that pink-haired girl was talking about, would you?"

Their words came out in perfect unison, but if he could, Yanming really wouldn't want that unison.

"..."*2

The air between the two was so awkward it felt like it was about to freeze.

Ai-yin, where are you? Help me!

Weekend 211

"...I can't quite imagine what reason Aine had for calling you out?" Yanming covered his forehead, feeling despair at the hellish atmosphere between the two of them, but he couldn't just stay silent.

"Let's put that aside for now. I never expected you to go on a date with that pink-haired girl over the weekend..."

"It wasn't a date! It was just playing guitar!"

Su Shi paused for a moment: "Playing the guitar... is that some kind of secret code?"

Yanming was stunned by this astonishing wisdom: "Really, it's just, playing the guitar!"

"Is that so?" Su Shi still looked at him with suspicion.

When faced with a master liar like Yanming, Su Shi always first questions him, then questions him again, and finally chooses to hold a reserved opinion.

Yanming rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "I've answered my question. Now you can tell me, right?"

"It's nothing really..." Su Shi unconsciously fiddled with her fingernails, her eyes darting around. "Ai Yin said she wanted me to go out with her this weekend. I don't know why she asked me to go with her instead of someone else, even though we're not that close. We just happen to be in the same band..."

"So you two really have a good relationship."

"That's not good at all!"

"Stubborn, arrogant, and scheming widow, aren't you afraid of straining your back with all those buffs stacked up?"

"Likewise, you're no better than me."

From the perspective of passersby, the two looked like any other young couple you'd find on the street, treating their bickering as a way to lighten the mood and everyone else as part of their fun.

Only the two of them know that they are really just arguing, and one of them might lose their temper at any moment.

"Sorry, you two! I'm late!" Seeing that they were almost there, Aine pretended to have just arrived and rushed over from the other side of the road, bowing deeply to the two of them.

Yanming and Su Shi immediately looked up as if they had seen a savior.

The two of them flanked Aine from the left and right, subtly creating a distance between themselves and her.

Yanming replied politely, "Not at all, I just arrived myself."

"Aine-chan, you're late." It was Su Shi who scolded Aine without any politeness.

"Sorry... I was a little late leaving." Aine clasped her hands together apologetically. "Shall I treat you to ice cream?"

Yanming waved his hand: "My throat hurts, you guys eat."

"Sigh... Don't do it again, okay? It's really impolite to invite someone and then be late. If it were someone else, they would definitely have a fight with Aine-chan." Suze started picking up food in front of Aine again, it was unclear who she was picking up the food for.

However, it's true that they had a falling out.

Even if Aine didn't realize what Su Shishi looked like under her mask, she could probably guess that Su Shishi usually disguised herself.

"Soyorin is the best~" Aine chose to face off against Sose in the middle gate.

"That's nonsense~" However, this one was still better.

After buying the ice cream, the three of them found a nearby shop to sit down. Ring definitely didn't dare to go in, since Lixi worked there, and it wouldn't be easy to explain if they ran into the others. The reason they chose to meet here was simply because it was close to where they came from.

Because it was the weekend, and assigning tasks to Ai Yin wouldn't take much time, Yan Ming wasn't in a hurry, and he was visibly relaxed.

Ai Yin and Su Shi were in similar situations. Ai Yin was a little better off, as she had guitar practice after school. Su Shi... if you didn't know her, you would probably mistake her for one of those shut-in college students who stayed in their dorm rooms all day surfing the internet.

Ai Yin ate her ice cream while chatting with the other two: "Speaking of Su Shishi, since you didn't come to the band, what have you been doing all week?"

Su Shi's absence from the band for a week wasn't entirely due to Yan Ming's instructions; there were also personal matters at play: "My mother's company just finished a big deal and gave all employees a week off, so I wanted to spend more time with her at home."

"Is Su Shishi's mother usually very busy?" Ai Yin asked, her mouth full of a spoon and her speech unclear.

"To be honest, she's a little busy..." Su Shi's expression remained unchanged, and she spoke with that calm and composed demeanor, "She does have some time, but whenever she has time, she spends it with me."

"Soyorin, how about I come visit you at your place sometime when I have time?"

"No." She meant she welcomed it.

"Gulp—" After hitting a wall with Su Shi, Aine changed her target again, "Where's Yanming-kun?"

"Me?" Yanming took a sip of the hot water in the shop and thought for a moment. "It's probably no different from usual. Just taking a walk and making some tea or something."

“Hmm… Thinking about it carefully, Yanming-kun is indeed quite different from the adults I’ve met.” Aine counted on her fingers one by one. “He doesn’t have an endless amount of work. Although he’s like an old man in many ways, very healthy and easygoing, he doesn’t talk to us in the tone of an elder, and he’s not very old-fashioned… However, you won’t understand most of the jokes I make.”

"Aine-chan... he's the same age as us." Su Shi couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.

“…Huh?” Aine was surprised that Su Shi would speak up for Yanming, but then she immediately realized why. “Right, Su Shi is easily mistaken for a college student by strangers when she walks on the street, right? So she can understand some of Yanming’s thoughts… or something?”

Yanming glanced at Su Shi, who was about to explode, and to avoid any misunderstanding, he thoughtfully translated Ai Yin's words for her: "She said you look old."

"She's talking about you! Can't you have some self-awareness?"

"Oh." Yanming nodded, blew on the hot water in his cup, took a sip, and said calmly, "I have no objection."

"...Going out with the two of you was definitely the worst decision I've ever made in my life." Su Shichang sighed, having told herself for the tenth time today not to get angry. She was eating ice cream, but why did her forehead feel hotter and hotter?

Getting involved with this pink-haired guy was a mistake in choosing friends, but getting entangled with Yanming was even more of a mistake in every sense of the word!

……

It was afternoon, and the sun in the sky had lost its midday heat.

After resting for a while, Yanming took out his phone and looked up a map of the area: "There's a small park nearby, let's stay there, it'll be more convenient for you to go anywhere else later."

Aine called Su Shi out, so she must be planning to go somewhere else; otherwise, there would be no need to ask her to come along.

So Yanming plans to finish his important business and then run away.

If it were just Ai Yin, it would be fine... but with another heavyweight, Yan Ming has to think about his stomach.

A long-term vegetarian diet is harmful to health. (Confirmed)

Chapter 212 Su Shishi is the best

Neither of them had any objections to Yanming's suggestion, and a moment later, the group packed their things and set off.

They didn't run into any acquaintances along the way, but Aine was a little troubled because she seemed to be mistaken for the other two people's daughter by passersby.

The three of them have completely different hair colors! Black and brown isn't pink!

"Wow, you're still so young and your daughter is already so grown up? You're quite something, young people."

I've already said she isn't!

"You'll get used to it. When I first moved here, every few days some old men would ask me to go out and play chess, and some aunties would come to my door to sell me health exercise courses." Yanming didn't care anymore; it wasn't like he was going to lose anything.

"Then soyorin..."

"You'll get used to it. Once when I visited a university, a group of freshmen walked up to me and called me 'senior sister,' and asked me when I would graduate."

Chihaya Aine: “…”

Oh well, they're cute even when they're small, aren't they?

Ai Yin patted her own breasts, which were almost as flat as those of an elementary school student, and comforted herself.

The three walked along the main path in the park, avoiding crowded areas, and stopped at a shady bench.

"You should have learned all the techniques I taught you last time, right?" Yanming asked.

Ai Yin looked confident, holding her guitar as if she were carrying a rifle: "Report, I have successfully completed the mission and have learned everything from Master Yanming."

Su Shi, who was standing to the side, felt that this scene was somewhat absurd.

Is this the Ai Yin she knows? If this guy were this enthusiastic in the band, Xiao Lixi would have to find her some incense and treat it like a precious treasure.

When Yanming enters teaching mode, he is no longer as gentle as usual; his entire demeanor changes, becoming much colder.

He shook his head and said, "Talk is cheap. Let's start with the simplest one and see."

The tests went through one by one, with only short breaks in between to switch and adjust states. The intensity was so high that even a layman like Su Shi could feel an overwhelming pressure.

What Su Shi found even more unbelievable was that Chihaya Aine, who would usually pretend to cry and run to her for comfort after being scolded, actually persevered without saying a word. Although the fine beads of sweat on her forehead showed her exhaustion, she gritted her teeth and completed the task given by Yanming without uttering a sound.

...Did something happen to her?
