"Riki actually said 'take a break'!"

Li Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I would say that. I don't deny that there will be times when I need to force myself, but it won't be now."

"Yes, it's not the deadline yet!" Ai Yin said cheerfully.

"It's too late if we're close to the deadline," Li Xi said helplessly.

Su Shi poured Deng a cup of black tea. Seeing this, Deng had no choice but to put down his pen. Although he hadn't written a single word, racking his brains to think was just as tiring.

She picked up the teacup and blew on it.

"So you're here to watch a bad movie?" Li Xi suddenly said.

Su Shi asked, "Why are you still so addicted to watching it?"

"Because it's interesting. Compared to bad movies, I hate mediocre works that make people drowsy even more. That's a real waste of time." With that, Li Xi picked up the remote control.

And now is a good time for everyone to be here.

Everyone's here, so we should just watch bad movies!

"I've picked out several, and I've heard that each one has its own unique features, is incredibly skillful, and will give people unexpected surprises," Li Xi said expectantly.

"Ugh~ Can't we watch something good?" Ai Yin complained, leaning back on the sofa, upon hearing that all the movies were bad.

"...also."

"Lixi, you've changed so fast!" Deng exclaimed in surprise.

Su Shi said ruthlessly, "The battle with the brain is quick, Li Xi."

"Enough with the fuss. Watch a bad movie, then pick a good one to watch."

This is the true meaning of "bitter before sweet".

Ai-ne smiled and said, "That's all right, Riki, love!"

Li Xi blushed, said nothing, but turned her face away, her lips moving slightly.

Aine said "Love" to her, so as her girlfriend, shouldn't she respond?

Thinking of this, Lixi stammered, "Ai... Aiyin, lov—"

"Are you going to spend the night here?" Su Shi interrupted.

Li Xi looked displeased.

“Of course I want to,” Aine said.

"That's it."

Su Shi stopped talking and started eating the snacks casually.

The TV started playing a terrible movie that Li Xi had chosen. The meaningless editing and dialogue were mixed together, and the chaotic scene composition and plot made every second feel unusually long.

Just as I received that information, another contradictory piece of information bombarded my mind. I couldn't understand the character's behavior or words at all.

Why must we speak English?

Why do we have to be in a relationship?

Why do we have to fight?

That's what it feels like to think, "What am I even looking at?" Everyone present felt the same way.

Except for Lena, because she was already too sleepy to watch and fell asleep.

After a long while, the ordeal finally ended. The credits rolled on the movie credits.

"How about it? It's a complete flop, isn't it?" For some reason, Li Xi's tone was full of smugness.

"Why are you so smug, Lixi?" Su Shi rubbed her temples.

"Interesting works all have the same commonalities, but bad works are bad in their own way. When you think that there are people in this world who keep producing such bad works, don't you feel like you're actually pretty good?"

Su Shi sighed and did not answer.

Li Xi sighed again, "What a perfect bad movie."

It also gave everyone a thoroughly enjoyable and unique experience.

Seeing Lixi so content, Aiyin didn't know what to say. Perhaps it was her previous plan that led Lixi into this new world.

"Let's change the channel quickly," Su Shi said, her head aching.

"That--"

Aiyin browsed through the available movies and TV shows.

I picked a highly-rated movie and started playing it. The warm and comfortable atmosphere unfolded as the movie's narrative progressed, accompanied by beautiful and melodious music, making it impossible not to be immersed in it.

“My soul has been cleansed,” Su Shi said softly.

“Yes, yeah~” Aine chimed in.

Deng nodded slightly; she indeed preferred movies that didn't overemphasize emotions.

It's like lukewarm water.

Looking at the others, Aine was staring at the screen, Su Shi seemed to be looking at Aine, Le Nai was fast asleep, and Li Xi was intently watching every frame, her eyes occasionally welling up with tears as she followed the emotions of the main characters.

I feel like I've grasped something, some inspiration related to the theme of "the future".

But just as she was trying to see the true nature of this inspiration, it slipped away from her hand.

"Riki is crying again."

Coming to his senses, Deng noticed that Lixi was already in tears, because the plot had entered its most explosive phase.

The emotionally rich Lixi was naturally influenced by it.

Su Shi picked up a tissue and handed it to Ai Yin, who then used it to wipe Li Xi's face.

“...Because I was very moved,” Li Xi whispered.

“Lixi is still a girl after all,” Su Shi said.

"Huh? Of course, what do you take me for... No, don't talk, keep watching the movie."

The movie continues, but it will eventually end. The time we've spent together here will also eventually come to a close.

However, we can still watch the next movie, and keep gathering here, again and again, forever. Thinking of this, Deng realized that this must be one of the answers.

I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the warm tea made my body feel warm.

"Tomorrow..." Deng said subconsciously.

"Tomorrow?" Ai Yin tilted her head slightly.

Let's all go have some fun together.

Ai Yin has always been the one inviting everyone, but we can't always have Ai Yin come.

If it's just an invitation, Deng feels he can do it.

"Where to?" Su Shi asked.

...But where the lamp is headed remains unknown.

"I'm not really sure, but I feel like I can do anything—aquariums, stargazing, collecting stones."

Lena opened her eyes: "Then let's go to the aquarium, look at the stars, and collect stones."

“How could that be!” Li Xi said.

Chapter 157 Good Morning and Good Night

"Then turn off the lights."

The room went dark as soon as the switch was pressed. Only Ai-yin and Su-shi's cell phones were still lit.

Li Xi said helplessly, "How long do you guys plan to keep playing on your phones?"

"Wait, let me finish watching this video." Ai Yin lay on the bed, watching a video of a streamer named Miao Meng playing on the screen.

"I'm just looking at where we should go for fun tomorrow," Su Shi replied casually.

"Hey~ Didn't we say we were going to the aquarium to see the stars and collect stones?" Aine laughed.

“Then you can go by yourself,” Su Shi sighed.

As Lixi climbed into bed, he chimed in, "That was just Lenai's nonsense."

This time, they slept in Su Shi's bedroom, but everyone except Su Shi slept on the floor under the covers.

“Just looking at the fish is boring. We can’t catch them anyway,” Lena said.

You still want to catch fish?

Li Xi's expression was complicated. "Then why don't we all go fishing together?"

"It's not just about seeing fish, but also other things. The main thing is the atmosphere of the ocean, which makes you feel very safe and secure; you even feel like you've become a part of it..."

As a regular visitor to the aquarium, Deng couldn't help but offer his explanation.

But given Lena's personality, if she were to go to a place that's too quiet and just look at the scenery, she probably wouldn't be able to sit still.

Perhaps going to an amusement park is the best choice, as there are plenty of rides to enjoy.

"How about camping? Didn't Ai-yin say she wanted to go camping before?" Su-shi asked again while scrolling through her phone.

That happened so long ago, how could she still remember it?! Aine was incredibly surprised.

The others were clearly surprised as well, and fell silent for a moment.

"...Why isn't anyone saying anything?" Su Shi whispered.

"You remember everything that happened so long ago so clearly?" Li Xi couldn't help but ask.

That was before Lantern joined the band, but when they created a group chat to choose to be lifelong friends with them.

The group chat still uses the name "Anontokyo Headquarters".

Either Su Shi remembered every word Ai Yin said, or she frequently revisited their old chat logs to relive the memories and refresh her understanding.

Or maybe both.

Su Shi paused for a moment, then casually said, "Nothing strange about it, is it? You guys are the same."

"Soyorin~" Ai Yin called out in a sweet voice. As expected, Su Shi had been thinking about her all along!

"I'm getting goosebumps, don't yell like that."

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Camping would be too rushed. We haven't even prepared a tent yet. Maybe next time!"

“Nothing has been decided yet,” Li Xi sighed.

Looking back, we really spent a lot of time together. Ai Yin also worked hard for many days, running tirelessly for the band from the very beginning.

It seems like we should go somewhere fun tomorrow.

Even aimless wandering is fine.

"Get up early tomorrow, everyone go to sleep now," Li Xi instructed.

"Ok."

Turning off her phone, Ai Yin rolled over and lay down on the bed. She didn't ask Su Shi if she could sleep in the bed like last time, and Su Shi didn't bring it up either.

After all, everyone in the band was there.

If I were to sleep with Su Shi, it would definitely cause Li Xi's dissatisfaction.

But Su Shi's bed wasn't big enough to fit three or four people—not to mention that Le Nai might squeeze in if everyone was together.

“We’re all sleeping in Su Shi’s room… Doesn’t Su Shi feel cramped?” Deng suddenly asked.

Su Shi turned off her phone and closed her eyes: "If I felt that would happen, I would have said so directly. Don't worry, Deng."

“Yeah, and Soyorin must be really afraid of being alone,” Aine said.

“...It’s normal to be afraid of loneliness, isn’t it?” Su Shi said softly.

Lena said, "Sushi, the bed is too small."

"It's already considered big."

They're a band for life, not just for a short time.
