Endless Silver Machine

After staying in Liuyin's home for such a long time, Ling and Wei Xi's cooking skills have improved significantly.

"Did we forget something..."

"Ah! Teacher Letika's dinner!"

It wasn't until Teacher Letika and Principal Felice had been away for such a long time that Luo Luo remembered the agreement he made a few hours ago under Wei Xi's reminder.

"Principal Phyllis was here just now. Teacher Letika must be embarrassed to ask to stay here for dinner."

Ling no longer used the fire element to process the ingredients randomly like the first time.

Although it is an academy whose main research direction is supernatural power collectively called "magic", its daily equipment does not rely entirely on magical machinery, but uses conventional energy supplies. This initiative brings a lot of convenience to daily life.

Although Wei Xi's cautious character is not very efficient when doing things, the things she makes are very detailed. Because of this bonus point, minor issues can be completely ignored.

"I went out to find Teacher Letika. I shouldn't have gone too far yet."

They don't have the contact information for Retika's mentor yet, so they can't use the PDA to find her right now.

"I'll go with you," Ling put down what she was doing, "I'll leave it to Luo Luo and Wei Xi."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you. Make sure to give Teacher Letika a surprise!"

"Brother Aika, sister Ling, come on..."

"Leave this to me and Wei Xi. In order not to lose to brother and sister Ling, work hard!"

…………

Although it was previously decided that the two of them would act together in order to search separately and improve efficiency. But now they are still walking along the academy path one after another.

A subtle distance opened up between Ling and Aika.

"Aika."

"Have you found instructor Letika?"

"No, it's another thing."

Aika heard the hesitation in Ling's tone. Although the top priority now is to find instructor Letika, Aika still slows down in line with Ling's pace.

Despite this, Ling still did not walk side by side with Aika.

"As I said before, Wei Xi and I... have been together for so long, so my feelings towards her should be said to be much better..."

"You should say this to her face."

"How can I say it out loud!" Ling's character really won't allow herself to bow to the other party first. "Now the relationship between us always feels awkward...right?"

"Well... when you say that, it seems like that is indeed the case. It feels like Luoluo is like a buffer between the two of you."

This phenomenon is very common. Three people can chat normally, but once the central person leaves, the other two people will become silent.

"Wei Xi and I definitely can't get along alone with each other now. I think we should be considered friends..."

When she mentioned the word "friend", Ling obviously hesitated.

"So now the relationship is bad, really bad..."

Her words revealed an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

Ling and Wei Xi met under extremely special circumstances. This kind of conflict is not something that outsiders can intervene in.

Ling should be very clear about this. Only when the two parties open their hearts to each other will there be a turning point.

Aika listened quietly until the end.

Ling deliberately walked behind him to prevent him from seeing that fragile expression, so he didn't look back and could only feel her mood from Ling's whisper.

"Wei Xi...has been waiting for you to say forgive her in person. If you don't tell her in person, she will definitely keep her promise and will never leave you or get close to you."

"Of course I know this! Then what on earth do you want me to do! I will be very tired if this continues!"

In the silent space, Ling's voice seemed particularly hollow.

Aika couldn't blame Ling for knowing the correct solution but being unable to act.

"What you have to consider now is to convey your thoughts to Wei Xi. Luoluo and I will try our best to help you create opportunities. As long as you seize them, you can change the status quo."

The cool evening breeze unique to summer passed between the two of them with the crisp chirping of insects, and the gloomy atmosphere was quietly taken away.

…………

As expected, Instructor Letika did not go far. Aika and Ling found her at the front of the path not long after.

The dinner prepared by Luoluo and Wei Xi will not disappoint.

After sending away the satisfied teacher Letika, everyone finally had to face the issues they had been deliberately avoiding before.

The first is about bathroom time allocation.

"You use it first, and we will use it later. I don't need to bother you with the cleaning of the bathroom, we will take care of everything. Do you understand?"

Although everyone lived in the same house before, Liuyin and Shun were there, so no one realized that this was the so-called "cohabitation".

While Aika was packing her luggage, the girls had a serious discussion on the sidelines. Now Ling, as the girl's representative, made a request to the only boy here.

"I don't care. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to use it before me?"

"Brother, actually I don't care very much, but Sister Ling and Xiao Xi still have various considerations... I'm sorry, brother, this time I think it's better to do what Sister Ling said..."

"If Brother Aika needs to use the bathroom after us, please go in after an hour..."

Wei Xi, who has always been obedient, also went around in circles to express her resistance.

Although Aika didn't know what the special significance of this arrangement was, she still nodded and followed it.

Immediately afterwards, everyone moved their luggage up to the second floor. There is only one key to each of the three rooms, and Teacher Letika gave it to Aika before leaving.

After everyone figured out the door corresponding to each key, Aika handed all the keys to Luoluo.

"There are only three rooms... If I also move in, two of the three of you must live together. Is this really okay?"

Ling didn't respond.

"In short, brother, you must live in one of the rooms, and we will discuss the rest!"

Luoluo directly cut off Aika's idea of ​​sleeping on the sofa. She forcefully put one of the keys into Aika's hand, and then pushed him into the outermost room.

"Brother Aika, good night..."

When the door was closed, Aika saw Wei Xi waving to him with a smile.

…………

"It's really nerve-wracking..."

Since Luoluo was so insistent, Aika could only accept her kindness.

He looked around the room. The expected single room, wardrobe, desk...the same complete furniture.

Aika opened the window, and the refreshing evening breeze blew into this room that had not been air circulated. The dull feeling in the room that had not been used for a long time was wiped away.

He stuck his head out of the window and looked into the room next to him.

"Eh!"

Just in time to meet Luo Luo's eyes, who also poked his head out of the room next to him.

"Brother... I didn't expect the two rooms to be so close to each other..."

"yes……"

For the first time, Aika and Luoluo were separated by physical distance, and even greeting them seemed a bit unnatural. Luoluo smiled shyly again and immediately retreated into her room.

After Luoluo disappeared, Aika felt an inexplicable feeling of loneliness in her heart.

Separation from Lolo is not forever. If you want to see her now, just go to the next room and knock on the door.

But in the days to come, Luoluo will be farther and farther away from himself.

Because he is her family, he cannot always stay by her side.

If it wasn't a family member, would the outcome be different?

"How is it possible...that there is such a possibility..."

Not in the mood to clean up the room, Aika lay directly on the bed.

Don't want to do anything now.
