Endless Silver Machine

When Luoluo was preparing breakfast for three people, Ling came here in advance.

It's already a consensus that Aika sleeps in, so it's not surprising that he hasn't appeared here yet.

Ling probably came here at this time.

"Sister Ling, good morning."

"morning……"

Ling stood there for a while, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Soon, she finished washing.

"Luoluo, do you need help?"

"Yeah. Thank you."

Luoluo stepped aside slightly, allowing Ling to stand over as well.

"Would you like to hear something from me now?"

Ling asked quietly beside Luo Luo while taking action.

"……Um."

"I thought about it for a long time last night, so this should be what I really think about."

"Um."

"Lolo, I think... you and I may have fallen in love with the same person."

"Well, it's my brother."

"……Um."

"Actually, you don't need to think about it for so long. Sister Ling has already fallen in love with my brother from a long time ago."

Luoluo didn't look at Ling. She had finished preparing the last step and was ready to serve.

"I didn't!"

"Xiao Xi also noticed that Sister Ling is not good at hiding things."

"In that case, Luo Luo, you really do too... do you like him..."

"……Um."

"but you……"

Ling restrained herself and swallowed the words that came to her lips. At this time, Ling couldn't use the brother-sister relationship to restrain Luoluo's feelings.

"I know what Sister Ling wants to say, and I don't know whether this feeling is right or wrong. But as long as we live as before, we will get the answer one day."

But at this moment of sincere confession, can "the same as before" still be realized? Luoluo doesn't know either.

"Sister Ling, Luoluo...it's so early..."

At this time, Wei Xi also rubbed her eyes and walked down the stairs. She heard the voices in the kitchen and came over.

"Xiao Xi, have you gotten up by yourself?"

Wei Xi would be woken up on time by Ling every morning, but today she woke up by herself.

"Sister Ling is not here..."

When she woke up in a daze, she found that Ling was not around, so she came down to look for him.

"Haha, Xiao Xi is completely attached to Sister Ling."

"I don't want to be like this..."

Ling muttered sheepishly.

Ever since the Light Flame Sword called Wei Xi by her nickname without authorization, Ling thought that Wei Xi might be greatly harmed if she changed her words, so this way of calling her continued.

Moreover, Ling no longer felt any resistance to this term. If Guangyanjian hadn't opened his mouth first, Ling might have been unable to scream.

Wei Xi also took a step closer to Ling at that time.

"Are you talking about brother Aika..."

"Did you hear everything?"

Ling hasn't told Wei Xi these words yet. She said she would seriously consider it last night. After confirming her thoughts, she noticed that Wei Xi had fallen asleep.

"No...you can't hear clearly from the other side of the stairs..." Wei Xi shook her head, "I just saw the expressions of Luoluo and Sister Ling, and I had a vague feeling like this..."

"Xiao Xi, do you like my brother too?"

"Eh?"

She was still in a daze and was startled by Luoluo's question, and her big eyes suddenly became moist.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually, nothing special."

Realizing that this question was too abrupt and frightened Wei Xi, Luo Luo quickly tried to deal with it.

"I have found the answer." Ling looked at Wei Xi with firm eyes and conveyed his answer to the child who was guiding him, "So Xiao Xi, I will not run away anymore."

"Really..." Wei Xi, who had regained consciousness, laughed and looked at Luo Luo, "Has Luo Luo also... found the answer..."

"Well, I really still 'like' my brother."

"Because 'only your own mood will never deceive yourself'?"

Ling smirked and explained for her what Luo Luo said when she lost her memory. Luo Luo immediately remembered the scene of kissing the unconscious Aika without authorization at that time, and her cheeks turned red.

"We...are really unqualified family members..."

Wei Xi couldn't help but laugh.

After becoming family members, this bond continues to deepen, so much so that we can no longer stop as family members.

This was a sprout that Aika didn't know was born in the early morning.

…………

"By the way, Luo Luo's birthday is coming soon."

Aika leaned forward on the desk during the break and suddenly said this sentence.

"Did you just remember?"

Ling seemed to have already known about Luoluo's birthday. She looked at Aika in surprise, as if she just realized it now.

"Why are you talking about this suddenly..."

"Have you never thought about it yourself?"

"Although I have thought about it...but I specifically said it like this..."

Luoluo glanced at the client Aika reluctantly.

"There are still three days left..."

Wei Xi counted her fingers and reported the exact time.

"Is there any gift you want?"

"elder brother."

Luoluo accepted the ownership of the questioner without thinking.

"This kind of gift is too cheap."

"Ling, to be honest, I'm very hurt."

"Do you want to be worthless?"

"It's even more outrageous!"

Ling ignored Aika's wailing and turned around to continue discussing Luoluo's birthday with them.

Aika has indeed never forgotten Luo Luo's birthday. He was also worried that if Luo Luo had not recovered his memory by then, he would have to give up this year's birthday.

But now that there is no need to worry, another problem arises.

When he lived in the village, his family would mobilize the whole village to prepare for Luoluo's birthday with great fanfare, but there is definitely no way to do it now.

On Ling's birthday, Aika followed the advice of Luoluo and Wei Xi and took her for a walk in the commercial district of the neutral area. Is this the only way to do this this time?

"I heard something interesting."

With his ears twitching and perked up, Qiu Ke ran into the circle of three girls.

"'Monitor,' if you run around in the classroom, you will be caught by Teacher Letika."

"Is Luoluo's birthday coming soon?"

Abby also followed Qiu Ke with Xixi.

"Well, I'm thinking about what I should do now."

Ling didn't care whether Luo Luo wanted everyone to know or not, so she just said it.

"You don't need to do anything specifically for me... As long as I know that everyone has this kind of intention, I will be very satisfied."

"That's not okay! Now that we heard it, we have to help too!"

Qiu Ke raised his hand excitedly, and then looked at Abby and Xixi expectantly.

"You don't need to tell me, I'm ready to help."

"Lolo's birthday is well worth looking forward to."

"Sure enough, we should have a birthday party to make it more exciting."

Qiu Ke imagined the ideal birthday party and decided on his own initiative what to do for Luo Luo's birthday.

"It should be difficult to hold a birthday party or something."

Aika initially thought so too, but it was difficult to realize from all aspects.

"Our house should be able to seat so many people, right?"

Ling began to consider using the administrator's cabin directly as the venue.

"As for the ingredients... there are still a lot..."

"It seems you haven't asked me what I think..."

Luoluo looked at the heated discussion and could only laugh weakly.

"Even if I ask you what you think, I'll just say it's not necessary."

"Woo..."

Luoluo was speechless after being criticized by Ling. She really didn't want to cause trouble to everyone.

"Why are everyone gathered together?"

Carlo also walked into the classroom at this time, and Aika just saw him talking to girls in other classes at the door of the classroom.

"I found the coolie."

When Qiu Ke saw Carlo, he had a flash of inspiration and pulled him over.

"coolie?"

Carlo didn't know at this moment that he was being targeted by the girls at this moment.

It must be a bit tight to have only Aika as a boy. Having one more boy at this time really helps a lot.

"Okay, we decided to let Aika and Carlo become free coolies."

So, Ling arranged work for the two of them.

"Aika, what's going on?"

"Don't ask me, I'm just a coolie."

"That's how you decided..."

Luoluo's voice can no longer reach the ears of everyone who is eager to try.

"By the way, remember Wei Xi's birthday is also at this time!"

Aika's words brought up the topic that was about to come to an end.

"Is Xiao Xi's birthday also at this time? That's great! This way the two of us can celebrate their birthdays together."

The unexpected information reignited Qiu Ke's excitement. It seems that she will be the most active person at this birthday party.

"Brother Aika..."

The person involved, Wei Xi, looked at Aika in confusion, and Aika just blinked at her when no one was paying attention.

…………

"Hey, are you serious?"

During class, Ling, who was sitting behind Aika, gently poked his back with the tip of her pen.

"Of course I'm serious."

While being careful not to let Wei Xi in the front row hear, Aika leaned back as hard as she could.

"You haven't even asked her what she thinks."

"Even if I ask, you already know what the answer will be."

"That's true..."

Wei Xi doesn't know her birthday, so she has no birthday celebration experience.

Aika did not want to take advantage of Luoluo's birthday to invite Wei Xi to participate, but had deeper considerations.

"Do you remember when we met?"

"That was..." Ling was suddenly asked by Aika about what happened a year ago, and Ling recalled it, "I can't remember the exact time, but it was probably in April...ah!"

She understood what Aika was trying to say.

"That's it. We met at this time, so I had this idea."

"I also met you at this time..."

Only Wei Xi was treated differently, and Aika, who did not turn her head, heard dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Don't you know your birthday..."

"Even so...forget it, since you also gave me a birthday present, I'll let you go this time..."

Ling played with the hanging hair and returned her attention to Teacher Letika's teaching.

…………

As expected, Wei Xi anxiously asked Aika after class.

Just after making that statement, the bell for class rang immediately, so Wei Xi lost the opportunity to ask.

She must have been paying no attention to the lectures throughout the class, as she immediately turned around from her seat when the bell rang.

"Brother Aika...why did you say that at that time..."

Wei Xi was not reluctant, there was only pure confusion in her eyes.

It’s natural that she would be at a loss when she was suddenly promoted to the protagonist.

"Wei Xi, you don't know when your birthday is, do you?"

"Um……"

"Then let that day be your birthday, the day we met."

"Eh?"

"Birthdays are a special day to commemorate the birth into the world. I think that day is as special as a birthday for us."

Because everyone met, everything changed.

Not only Wei Xi, everyone started a new life that was different from the past on that day.

"It would be nice to treat a day like this as your birthday."

Aika felt that Wei Xi had the same idea as herself, and her eyes became moist.

"……Yes."

For Wei Xi, from that day on, the world that had become black and white became colored again.

Therefore, she would be extremely honored if that day could be her birthday.

…………

Aika sent a text message to Liuyin and received a reply in the evening.

He told Liuyin about his decision to decide Wei Xi's birthday without permission, and invited her to attend Luo Luo and Wei Xi's birthday party.

But now Liuyin, who is in another city, has no way to come in time, so she can only regretfully decline Aika's invitation.

——I will send my blessings to them.

Liuyin should be preparing to contact Luoluo and Wei Xi alone.

Although it is a pity that she cannot come directly to participate this time, Aika will not give up and continue to look for such opportunities.

With everyone's help, preparations for the birthday party are proceeding steadily. The "friendly sponsorship" brought by Qiu Ke from his own family also relieved everyone's financial pressure.

During this period, Luo Luo and Wei Xi were banned from the administrator's cabin, and they were "sent" to Qiu Ke's dormitory, where they stayed for two days just like Ling and Wei Xi once did.

"I don't feel like I'm sleeping at home. I always feel a little weird..."

"Yeah, right, I felt like this when I was in first grade, but now I'm completely used to it."

Aika felt that there seemed to be no room for her to intervene between the two of them, so she could only watch them from a distance.

The relationship between Luoluo and Qiu Ke seems to have become better than before in such a short period of time. Is this the effect of girls sleeping in the same bed?

Speaking of which, Ling and Wei Xi also slept together in the caretaker's cabin, and their relationship became better after that. Maybe this was indeed the reason.

Aika speculated on things she would never experience based on her own fantasies, thinking that it would be impossible for boys to have such an effect.

"Aika, Abby and Xixi asked the two of us to go out for a run with them in the afternoon."

"Go to the business district to pick up something?"

That was all that was left to do, the caretaker's cabin was completely decorated.

"That's it."

"Brother Aika..." Wei Xi walked out of the small circle, "Is it tomorrow..."

She was full of expectations for tomorrow's arrival, but she was also a little bit regretful.

Aika knows that she has such concerns, but Wei Xi is a very considerate child. In order to live up to everyone's good intentions, she will try her best to enjoy it.

"Well, look forward to it."

"I will look forward to it...but I feel like I can't help..."

"What if the protagonist helps?" Aika rejected her idea, "Besides, wouldn't there be no surprises if I let you know the preparation process?"

"I know... I will definitely not cry tomorrow..."

"Please, don't cry..."

After convincing Wei Xi to leave, Ling, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, spoke.

"What a good man."

"Why didn't I hear any praise in your words?"

"It's your illusion."

"...I hope it's just an illusion."

"Forget it about being a child, I didn't expect that even I would be deceived by your sweet words..."

Ling lowered her eyes, feeling helpless for this time.

"What did you just say?"

"nothing."

"Yeah……"

Aika always feels that she misses important words every time, but when she asks questions back, there is no answer.

Looking at Ling again, she looked out the window thoughtfully, then stared back coldly after noticing Aika's gaze.

"...Do you have anything to say?"

"No."

"Then don't look here."

As she spoke, she moved her gaze to the window again, but her already blushed cheeks became even redder.

Aika was just fascinated by her side face for a moment, but of course she wouldn't tell Ling herself about this kind of thing.

He didn't know if his feeling was wrong, but Ling seemed to have undergone a fundamental change during this period.

Aika couldn't describe her specific feelings, but she just felt that she should have made up her mind on a certain matter and abandoned the feeling of confusion.
