Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Want to play together?"

Li Xi was the first to react and subconsciously asked, "What are you playing?"

"Play in a band together."

Chapter 214 Disperse!

Inside RiNG's coffee shop, everyone packed up their belongings and found a seat to sit down.

"Do you want to join a band...?"

Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to Lenai was Xiao Deng.

Eh?

Ain, Su Shi, and Li Xi were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Xiao Deng to ask this question on his own initiative, and Ain's reaction was the biggest among them.

Is this girl really going to join the band? Just like that?

Although she had this doubt in her mind, Aine immediately understood what she was really thinking. She was really worried that if Lenai joined the band, then what would her existence mean?

This girl named Le Na was able to play a roughly similar piece of Kasuga Shadow after just looking at the music score for a few seconds. The difference was that she didn't just play randomly, but improvised her own way. Even Ai In, who lacked relevant knowledge, could hear that the performance was self-consistent and not awkward.

If Lenai joins the band, wouldn't I just be the one standing on the edge of the stage?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

Lenai looked at Xiao Deng, not knowing what she saw. She blinked and said "Interesting woman" easily.

At first, after listening to what Qingchuan Xiang said about the lifelong band, although Le Nai was somewhat touched and curious, she had frequently stayed in two live houses and had seen many people who made vows to form a band without authorization but easily parted ways in the end.

So the reason why Lenai came here was actually mostly for Qingchuan Xiang.

Although Le Na didn't like Qingchuan Xiang's performance before, which made her feel very boring, as if it was just a player playing pre-recorded audio, Le Na had a great interest in Qingchuan Xiang himself.

Lenai was also a little curious about what the band would be like with Kiyokawa Xiang in it.

Of course, another reason that cannot be ignored is to get back the money for buying the matcha parfait from Qingchuan Xiang!

And now that he had actually met the members of the band and heard that song... Lenai had indeed started to have some thoughts in his mind.

"Then what should we do now..." Su Shi didn't know how to answer. Xiao Deng seemed to be willing for Lenai to join the band. As for Aine, she was such a vain person, so she must be worried that Lenai would take her place away from her, right?

Su Shi looked at Li Xi again. She had a thoughtful look on her face, which was a little confusing. But Su Shi guessed that Li Xi, who most wanted the band to have a higher level of skills, would be willing to let Lenai, who had such superb skills, join.

Then...what about Xiaoxiang?

He glanced at Qingchuan Xiang again secretly, but found that Xiaoxiang had returned to her calm and composed look.

Su Shi couldn't help but think of some irrelevant things. Xiao Xiang seemed to have a really strong self-recovery and adaptability. She had just been made so embarrassed and blushing by Xiao Lenai, but she recovered in no time.

Xiaoxiang's opinion could not be seen, and she didn't seem to intend to express one.

"I want to join a band."

Lenai responded to Xiaodeng decisively.

Seeing that Lenai joining the band seemed to be becoming a reality, Aine wanted to speak up, but she didn't know what reason to stop her. The most important thing was that no one else seemed to have any objection. Could she really refuse without the skills?

"You can join the band, but can you be a good boy and come train with us?"

Li Xi finally spoke, and when he heard this, he showed no intention of refusing at all.

But this time, before Rakuna could finish her words, it was Aine who spoke first:

"Well, I'm busy now. Sorry! Let's contact each other next time."

Aiyin, who was carrying a guitar bag, bowed slightly, and then without even waiting to see other people's reactions, she turned and ran out of the coffee shop, disappearing from everyone else's sight.

"Ano-chan...?" "What's wrong with that guy?"

"Is today over?" Le Nai saw Aine leave, not thinking it was her fault at all. She'd had a free parfait from Kiyokawa Xiang and enjoyed playing guitar, and she was already quite content. She picked up her suitcase and walked off.

"Still no progress in today's practice..." Li Xi sighed and held her forehead with a headache. She had originally planned to see how today's practice went and make some adjustments to Kasuga Kage as a reference, but Aine's "unexpected" level and Lenai who suddenly joined in the middle of the practice somewhat disrupted her preparations.

Li Xi didn't think that Aine's level had to be very high, but she felt that from the time Aine came to the coffee shop to find her and formed a band, until now, it had been such a long time, if she had practiced well, her level wouldn't be just like this, right?

In Lixi's opinion, Ain did not take the band seriously at all, but just wanted to have fun. This was something that Lixi, who had always been strict with himself, could not stand.

Although Lenai's joining was a bit too unexpected, Lixi now thinks that it is a good thing for the band to have a highly skilled guitarist. This way, she can try to write more when arranging and composing music.

I'll go back today and try harder, Li Xi made up his mind.

"Let's call it a day today. Let's contact each other on the phone when the next practice is..." At this point, Li Xi suddenly remembered something, "Oh no, I forgot to add Wildcat to the group. How am I going to notify him next time we practice?"

"Leave this to me." Qingchuan Xiang finally spoke at this time. During today's practice, Li Xi always felt that this guy had become much less talkative for some reason, as if he had returned to the early days of CRYCHIC. Xiang seemed to be the same.

But since Qingchuan Xiang has taken on the task of contacting the wild cat, there is no need to worry.

"What is Xiaoxiang planning to do now?" Su Shi asked, "Would you like to come to my house and visit?"

"Well... I have to go take care of some things. Sorry, I may not be free." Qingchuan Xiang declined.

........................

It’s terrible, terrible, terrible…

Aiyin, carrying her guitar bag, ran along the road home that she had walked many times before. She finally stopped when she was out of breath and could no longer continue, and then she started walking slowly forward again.

I am really embarrassed today.

What should I do? I feel like I won’t have the face to see them anymore, even though I was the one who said I wanted to form a band.

Thinking back to the time before today, when I wanted to practice guitar every day but was distracted by various things and had fun instead, I felt a surge of regret.

Ai Ne, who was in a rare gloomy mood, walked absentmindedly the entire way until she reached her own doorstep, before she realized she had reached her destination.

He sighed again and was about to open the door when he heard a voice behind him:

“Aine, your house is pretty big too.”

Aiyin turned around suddenly and saw Qingchuan Xiang standing behind her, looking at her house with curiosity.

"Would you mind if I could come in and sit down?"

Chapter 215 Other People’s Children

"Xiao, Xiao Xiang!" Aiyin, who was already worried, was suddenly attacked by Qingchuan Xiang like this, and was chased directly to her doorstep. She couldn't help but panic. "How did you find this place?"

Even though it sounds a bit embarrassing to say, Aiyin just ran away. In order to run away from everyone faster, she used all the strength she had in junior high school to participate in the 1500-meter running competition in the school sports meet. She ran all the way with her guitar bag loaded on her back. Although she got on the tram in the middle and then walked all the way back to her home, she still put quite a distance between herself and everyone else, right?

As a result, when she turned around, Xiao Xiang appeared behind her as if she had teleported, and spoke in a faint tone behind her back, which almost made Aiyin feel like she had encountered a female ghost during the day!

“Hmm…” Qingchuan Xiang tilted his head, one hand behind his back, and the index finger of the other hand gently tapped his cheek, looking innocent and well-behaved, trying to get away with it. “Actually, it’s because I know a little bit of divination? That’s why I could directly calculate where you went, Aine?”

"Why do I keep using question marks..." Aiyin smiled awkwardly. In fact, Xiaoxiang had been running out right behind her. When she was running away with her tail between her legs, Xiaoxiang had actually been following her from behind and watching the whole process. It was just that she was so focused on running that she didn't notice it at all.

Aiyin took Qingchuan Xiang's vague words as her taking care of her emotions, and did not directly tell her the truth that she had been following her all along to embarrass herself.

"Ahem." No matter what, now that Xiaoxiang has caught him, he can't just leave her out in the cold. "Welcome to my home, Xiaoxiang. Come in."

"Excuse me."

Qingchuan Xiang followed Aiyin into her home. Aiyin's house was a small detached villa. The entrance hall was very large, with two large shoe cabinets.

After arriving in an unfamiliar environment, Qingchuan Xiang subconsciously observed his surroundings and noticed that the shoes placed in one of the two shoe cabinets should be Aine's shoes judging by the shoe sizes and the various and fancy styles.

Qingchuan Xiang nodded in understanding. She was not surprised by this. With Aine's personality that seeks to attract attention and loves fashion, she would definitely not just collect clothes and pants.

By the way, the last time Aine and Xiao Deng came to my house, I think she made some remarks about how socks play an important role in a person's image and style...

Thinking of this, Qingchuan Xiang took off his shoes and looked down.

I am no different from before, still wearing a pair of short boat socks, and my shoes are also very comfortable to wear, but also ordinary sneakers.

Let’s look at Aine again. Today she is wearing a pair of white calf socks and sneakers. However, compared to Kiyokawa Xiang’s solid-colored pair, Aine’s shoes are obviously more colorful, and they do make people feel more energetic, which is what young people should have.

Qingchuan Xiang looked left and right, but couldn't figure out what was going on. After all, he was not a master in the field of socks.

"Um, Xiaoxiang...what are you looking at?"

At this time, Aiyin also noticed Qingchuan Xiang's gaze. Last time at Qingchuan Xiang's house, it was Aiyin who was looking at Xiaodeng and Xiaoxiang, but she didn't expect that this time it was Qingchuan Xiang who was looking at her.

“I just saw your shoe cabinet and I was impressed by how stylish Aine really is. Even when everyone is wearing their school uniforms, she always stands out in the crowd.”

"Hey, hey, no way~"

Your tone is floating, Aine.

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aiyin scratching her head embarrassedly, and her complexion had visibly improved. Her originally pale face had become much rosier.

"Aine is back. Did you bring friends with you?"

A mature voice came from inside the house, and a few seconds later a woman who looked very similar to Aine appeared in front of the two.

"Mom!" Aine immediately introduced herself to her mother, "This is my good friend, the keyboardist in my band. Her name is Kiyokawa Xiang."

"Oh, what a cute girl! Aine hasn't brought her friends or classmates to our house since she started high school. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to school."

Aine's mother smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and seemed to be quite welcoming of Aine bringing her friends home.

"Really? I told you I'm doing fine at school, you don't need to worry about me."

"Although Aine and I aren't in the same class, every time I pass by her class, I always see her chatting and laughing with her classmates, looking very harmonious. Rather, with Aine's friendly and lively personality, no one would be unwilling to be her friend."

Qingchuan Xiang has a flawless smile on her face and a crisp and clear voice. It is pleasant to the ear and you can tell that she is a very energetic girl. She looks directly at the other person when she speaks. Even when facing elders, she is graceful and polite without appearing restrained. Her appearance is also very decent and pretty. She is not the kind of gorgeous that is stunning, but the type that is very pleasing to the eye and the more you look at her, the more you like her.

He is truly a typical kid next door.

And it seems that she has a very good relationship with her own child. It can be said that after just a few seconds, Aine's mother already had a very good impression of Qingchuan Xiang.

"Your name is Qingchuan Xiang, right? Can I call you Xiaoxiang?" Aiyin's mother clapped her hands together, her affection for Qingchuan Xiang overflowing with words. After getting Qingchuan Xiang's consent, she continued, "Come on, Xiaoxiang, come in. Our Aiyin is usually there, so there must be some noisy places. You are so lucky to have a friend like Xiaoxiang."

Aine's face puffed up with anger! What do you mean I'm a bit noisy?!

Isn't Xiaoxiang obviously a standard social etiquette model? When I usually go to visit relatives with you, don't I behave the same way now? Now that I see Xiaoxiang, I forget about my own daughter's kindness!

However, there was one thing that Aine did not refute. She also believed that it was indeed a very lucky thing to be able to meet Kiyokawa Xiang, especially when she was most helpless in London.

Aine's family should be the type that keeps clean regularly, and they don't have the habit of wearing slippers. At least Aine just takes off her shoes and walks into her house in her socks.

"Xiao Xiang, are you used to wearing slippers? I can get you a pair." Aiyin turned around and asked Qingchuan Xiang.

"No need, I can do anything." After all, when Qingchuan Xiang was at home, he often walked barefoot on the floor, although most of the time it was in the bathroom.

Chapter 216 Face to Face

"It's this late, Xiaoxiang, do you want to have dinner at my house~"

As soon as Qingchuan Xiang entered the house, Aine's mother checked the time and immediately invited her warmly, "It won't be too much trouble. I will be very happy to be able to entertain the friends that little Aine brings back."

In fact, Aine's mother has always been clear about her child's personality. It wouldn't be difficult for her to integrate into the new environment in Yuqiu. However, ever since she went to London and came back, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. This matter left a knot in Aine's heart.

Although studying in Hanqiu was just a change of schools compared to studying in London, a foreign country where she couldn't even speak the language, it was still a new environment. The accident with the former made Aine's mother think too much. Now that she saw that Aine had a good friend in Hanqiu again who she could bring home, she was naturally happy, and it was not just because of her love for Qingchuan Xiang, a well-behaved child, as an elder.

Aiyin also chimed in: "Xiaoxiang, why don't you stay for dinner? My mom's cooking is amazing! If you come to my house and leave without eating, I'll think you're looking down on me!"

"If that's the case, then I'll respectfully obey your command."

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Qingchuan Xiang agreed.

If I go home, my sister will still be working in the bookstore, so I guess I will just cook some dishes or order takeout for dinner.

"Then Xiaoxiang, play with Aine for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Aine's mother went to cook happily. Aine was still carrying her guitar bag. She walked in front and waved to Qingchuan Xiang, indicating that she should go upstairs with her.

The two of them went up to the second floor and arrived at Ain's room. Although they had seen luxurious rooms of the same size as Su Shi's family, Ain's room was definitely not small. There were many cute little decorations, such as the cute little stickers on the wardrobe. Compared with Su Shi's restrained and somewhat deserted room decoration, it was a completely different style.

After telling Qingchuan Xiang not to be polite and sitting on the sofa in the room, Aiyin took off the guitar bag on her back and the school bag on her shoulders, but placed the school bag on the desk far away. She continued to hold her guitar bag, leaned against the edge of the sofa, and placed it within reach of where she was sitting.

After putting away the guitar bag, Aiyin put away the cheerful look she had shown in front of her mother downstairs, and sat up straight, with her hands folded on her legs and her back straight. However, her gaze was a little vague, and she didn't dare to look Qingchuan Xiang in the eye, as if as soon as she met Xiao Xiang's eyes, she would immediately fall back into the embarrassment she felt today in RiNG.

"Xiao Xiang..."

It seemed that he wanted to discuss something with Qingchuan Xiang, but he didn't know how to start his first sentence. As soon as he opened his mouth, he uttered some meaningless syllables which were then quickly withdrawn.

Kiyokawa Xiang observed Aine's reaction with interest, wondering when she would be able to speak.

As a result, Qingchuan Xiang didn't wait for Aine to say the next words. Instead, Aine started to back down at this time. She suddenly stood up again as if she had given up, muttering "It's nothing" quickly, and planned to put the guitar bag in a farther corner.

Well, Qingchuan Xiang hadn't thought about this outcome. But this result was definitely not what Xiang wanted to see, so she said:

"So, you're planning to run away again?"
