Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Xiao Xiang's mother is very elegant and seems to be very caring." Su Shi smiled with narrowed eyes, "But what does the 'still' in Aine mean? Does it mean that Xiao Xiang went to Aine's house yesterday?"

We've formed an "unbreakable" alliance, but it seems like someone has slipped away~

goo.

Looking at Su Shi's smiling face, Aine felt a great pressure. She then realized that her words had slipped and she had actually created the illusion that she was on the road to death.

No, maybe it wasn't an illusion... Aine had already begun to see the illusion of an evil spirit rising from behind Suze. Was this a sign that she was about to cross the Sanzu River?

"Xiaoxiang's mother...?" However, Xiaodeng on another channel was focusing on something else.

The last time I went to Qingchuan Xiang's house, what impressed Xiaodeng the most was actually the layout of Xiaoxiang's house which was messy but not messy. Various collectibles and ornamental items of different styles were placed in the house as decorations with a great sense of design. Xiaodeng, who had a collecting habit and also filled his room with various items, remembered it very clearly.

So I also remembered that most of what Xiaoxiang said at that time was about her mother placing it there.

"Well, Xiaoxiang's mother is a very famous person. Generally speaking, unless we are people like us who have known Xiaoxiang for a long time, when we mention Qingchuan, we will basically think of Xiaoxiang's mother Qingchuan Shu." In front of Xiaodeng, Su Shi restrained himself a little and explained to Xiaodeng considerately, allowing Aiyin to successfully escape the death temporarily.

But for some reason, when the second half of the sentence was mentioned, Li Xi, who had been concentrating on operating her tablet and had not even touched the coffee beside her, suddenly looked up at Qingchuan Xiang with a somewhat impatient look, as if she was thinking of something that made her uncomfortable.

Lixi doesn't like being called by her name because when people mention the surname "Shiina", they always only think of her sister, so that the impression label of herself in the eyes of others is just "Shiina's sister".

In addition to accidentally hearing words similar to what he hated in his heart, Li Xi also thought of one thing, that he usually called Qingchuan Xiang "Qingchuan". This made Li Xi think about it from his own perspective and wondered if he should just call her Xiang from now on.

But... would Qingchuan Xiang hate his own surname?

After all, she is not like me, a truly capable person...

"Xiao Deng, if you want to meet my mother, I can give you her Line number." Qingchuan Xiang said nonchalantly that she could give out an account that would definitely be snatched up by Qingchuan Shu's fans.

"Or will Xiao Deng come to my house today? My mother will definitely be there today."

"I want to go too!" Aiyin, who had just experienced feelings of loss and death threats, instantly became excited.

Qingchuan Xiang's mother! She's a big star!

No matter what identity Kiyokawa Shu is in, Aiyin wants to meet her.

"You better practice hard! With your current mediocre skills, you still want to be lazy?" Li Xi's knife-like eyes pierced directly at him.

"Meow?" Lenai, who seemed to have been called out, raised her head from her Matcha parfait.

"It's okay, you're not even as good as a cat." Li Xi changed his words.

"Xiao Xiang...save me..."

"I'll compile a list of books or videos suitable for you, Aine. This will help you have a clear idea of what you need to learn. Otherwise, you have to work hard~"

"it is good……"

It seems that this band needs more preparations before they can perform on the live stage.

Chapter 244: Hope that time will last a lifetime

"So tomorrow's practice..."

“T-that…!”

Just as Li Xi was about to go ahead and reserve a practice venue for tomorrow, Xiao Deng interrupted him and said a little embarrassedly:

"Tomorrow...I can't come to practice."

"Oh, is it about the club report of the Xiaodeng Astronomy Club?"

Aiyin on the side interrupted and said that she still remembered what Xiao Deng had said. Deng was very concerned about this matter and seemed to be planning to go camping in the wild to watch the stars?

so good……

Aiyin also wanted to go, but she definitely couldn't ask Xiaodeng at this time, otherwise she would definitely be scolded.

"Yeah." Xiao Deng nodded quickly. "Tomorrow, the weekend, we'll be leaving during the day... so I'm sorry! I can't come to practice."

"It's okay, Xiao Deng, just mind your own business." Seeing Xiao Deng looking a little self-blaming, Li Xi quickly comforted her, "It's a good opportunity for Xiao Deng to rest his throat."

“What a huge difference in treatment…” Aine muttered to herself, then rubbed her hands together and asked, “Then why don’t you come here to practice tomorrow?”

"You wish! Although Xiao Deng can't come, the instrument group can still come to practice ensemble. A band's long-term instrumental running-in is inevitable!" Li Xi took a sip of the cold coffee in a bad mood. The weakened aroma of the coffee after it cooled made the bitterness more prominent, which made Li Xi frown.

"Let's play in a band~" Lenai, who had finished the matcha parfait in front of her without knowing when, licked the cream on her lips happily and echoed.

Parfait needs to be eaten and the band needs to be played! This is what a healthy cat is.

"Even little Lenai is so motivated." Su Shi smiled and took out a tissue to wipe the corners of Lenai's mouth where she couldn't lick them. Lenai's wild cat-like personality was too much like a child's, which always made Su Shi subconsciously forget the fact that Lenai was only one year younger than them.

However, from what Su Shi said herself, it seemed that she had no motivation and seemed a little helpless. And if Lenai was so motivated to follow Li Xi, maybe she would have to continue training tomorrow.

"Ah, Xiaoxiang will go with me tomorrow..."

Xiao Deng added another sentence at this time, as if he was worried that if he didn't say it, Xiao Xiang would be snatched away by everyone for tomorrow's schedule. In that case, even if Xiao Deng had made an appointment with Qingchuan Xiang first, he would be embarrassed to say it out loud.

As expected, this immediately caused a big reaction from others, but it soon subsided.

"... Never mind. You didn't make any mistakes anyway." Li Xi sighed, as if he had no way to deal with Qingchuan Xiang. "But why did you go with Deng?!"

Aiyin also uttered an "eh" but didn't dare to say anything more. After all, even Riki didn't have any objections. As for Sushi, after Xiaodeng mentioned that she was going out tomorrow, she had a vague feeling that Qingchuan Xiang was involved.

"Please be careful tomorrow. Keep your communication equipment charged, bring plenty of food and water, and don't drink water in the wild."

"I feel like the last part of Su Shi's words is very targeted." Qingchuan Xiang laughed.

"Don't take it lightly. I'm just worried about you..." Looking at Qingchuan Xiang's smile, although it was very pleasing to the eye, Su Shi sighed.

"Su Shi, have you become a little more worrying?" Li Xi couldn't help but complain.

If it can be said that Su Shi originally played a bit of a mother role in CRYCHIC, now she has become even more nagging... When Qingchuan Xiang, Deng and the pink-haired Aine came to RiNG to recruit people to form a band, Su Shi seemed to be still thinking about rebuilding CRYCHIC, but now she seems to have been completely bewitched by someone.

"I'm just expressing my concern, which is quite normal." Su Shi closed her eyes and sipped the black tea in her cup. However, she was not so kind as to ignore Li Xi's words. She counterattacked a little, "It's better to say Li Xi, if you are worried, you should say it nicely instead of always playing a mean face~"

"Ahem...!" Li Xi, who happened to be drinking coffee, choked on it and his face turned red. He didn't know if it was due to choking or some other reason. "None of your business!"

"But I did think that Su Shi would just say she wanted to join in because she was worried." Qingchuan Xiang held her face. Although Lenai did come later than her today, Xiang still treated herself well and ordered five different drinks and a parfait at once.

Although he hadn't finished drinking yet, Qingchuan Xiang, who was already a little drunk, relaxed and slumped on the table, with only his raised arms precariously supporting his head from drooping.

"I'm not that unromantic..." Su Shi muttered softly.

Of course she wanted to go too. It would be fun to just think about camping in the wild with Xiaoxiang and watching the stars.

But it's like when all the classmates are excitedly planning to go out and play, and suddenly one of them says that his family is worried and wants to come too. It creates a devastatingly corrupt atmosphere.

If Xiaoxiang and Xiaodeng go out together, there won't be as much worry as that blue-haired girl with twin tails.

Xiao Deng (Touto Ling) would never do such sneaky things.

"So Xiaoshui won't come to play in the band tomorrow?" Lenai wasn't concerned about camping, he was only concerned about whether he could enjoy playing the guitar.

"Yes."

"Boring--" Lenala meowed in a long, cat-like voice, and scooped a large spoonful from Qingchuan Xiang's parfait cup. As if she suddenly lost interest, she stuffed the spoon into her mouth and bit it.

It seems that now I have to worry about whether Lenai will come to practice tomorrow.

"Forget it... let's just treat tomorrow as a holiday." The number of people coming tomorrow is getting smaller and smaller, and Li Xi feels a little too tired recently, so he might as well take this opportunity to have a good rest.

(Okay!)

"I heard you secretly saying 'OK'! Even if you don't come to RiNG tomorrow, you can't fall behind in practice!" Li Xi's violet eyes were like mirrors, staring at Aine who was trying to slack off.

“Oh no…” Aine’s mood was fluctuating today.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at everyone talking and laughing and having a great time, Deng couldn't help but chuckle.

It's really fun to be in a band. I wish this kind of time could last forever.

Xiao Deng is also starting to look forward to camping tomorrow. She needs to prepare paper and pen for taking notes, camping supplies, a telescope for stargazing...what else does she need?

You should also prepare more water, otherwise Xiaoxiang might really drink river water in the wild.

Oh, and be sure to bring your own Band-Aid with you too.

Chapter 245 Ignition

"Bye." Not long after finishing the matcha parfait, since the band time for today was over, Lenai was ready to leave.

With the first person taking the lead, the others also prepared to leave one after another. They said goodbye to each other and agreed to notify each other on Line after the next practice time was confirmed.

"So, why haven't you left yet?"

When Lixi walked into the coffee shop's workshop and changed into his black work uniform, he came out and saw Qingchuan Xiang still there and had not left. He had moved directly from the small round table in the store to the bar table.

"Here."

Qingchuan Xiang didn't say anything directly, but just pursed his lips and motioned Li Xi to look at the table. There were still two unfinished drinks there.

There was actually a drink that could survive for so long in front of Qingchuan Xiang... No, this guy had already finished three drinks and a parfait, so it should be said that there were only two drinks left.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable drinking like this?" Li Xi took a cup in his hand and wiped it slowly, just as a change of pace during work, and started talking to Qingchuan Xiang.

"I went to the bathroom while Li Xi went to change clothes, so is everything okay?"

Li Xi looked up and saw that Qingchuan Xiang was indeed not slumped on the table like before, and his expression looked much more sober.

"With the way you drink, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you become a fat man one day."

"Lulu~" Qingchuan Xiang stuck out his tongue, "I have a physique that doesn't make me fat from drinking. And don't look at me like that, I usually run around all the time."

The physique that doesn’t gain weight even after drinking... Li Xi is quite envious.

Maybe it's because I've been staying up late lately, but when I weighed myself the past couple of days, I noticed a slight increase. I wouldn't say I'm particularly concerned about my appearance, but I wouldn't want to look ugly.

Originally, he didn't even plan to order a cup of coffee today, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness. In order to avoid the embarrassing scene of falling down in front of everyone, Li Xi ordered a cup of coffee to wake himself up.

Now I feel a little bit unmotivated again.

"Why do you have to go to work now, Li Xi? I thought you practiced on days when you didn't have to work."

"If I have to consider my schedule, I will be further away from my goal of hosting a live event." Li Xi said simply, his hands moving non-stop.

Qingchuan Xiang raised his eyebrows and watched Li Xi wipe the cup effortlessly.

"It looks like Li Xi doesn't have to worry about getting fat."

"?"

"With your workload, it's hard to gain weight. It's good enough if you don't become thinner every day. If I sing you a lullaby right now, will you just collapse here?"

Listening to Qingchuan Xiang's somewhat sarcastic words, Li Xi rarely said a single hurtful word. Instead, he lowered his eyes even more.

"If I don't do this, it will be even more impossible for me to compare with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized what was happening. Li Xi's hand that was wiping the cup suddenly stopped and he fell silent. After a long time, he let out a "tsk" sound.

"Did you accidentally say what you were thinking?"

Looking at Li Xi's appearance, and knowing the huge sense of inferiority in her heart that was so strong that she couldn't help crying, Qingchuan Xiang knew that this guy was the type of person who could easily tell others what was in her heart.

He was obviously a little dizzy, and in a daze he spoke out what was in his heart.

"Pretend you didn't hear me, have a drink."

"Are you going to start bribing right away?" Qingchuan Xiang looked at Li Xi, "I'm not the kind of person who would easily snitch on others."

One of the people who should least know about this is you!

Li Xi didn't even have the energy to glare at Qingchuan Xiang. She really wasn't sure how Xiang would react after knowing this. But from the looks of it, Xiang didn't seem surprised at all after hearing what she said?

Did he not care, or had he known about it for a long time? Thinking of this possibility, Li Xi suddenly felt that his efforts in front of the other party were a bit... stupid.

"'You,' the other person, is Xiangzi, right?" Qingchuan Xiang said casually. "Why are you so obsessed with being better than others?"

Listening to Qingchuan Xiang's casual words, Li Xi felt a surge of anger in his heart.

You know what... You've been compared to someone who's superior in every way since you were little, even being called "someone's sister." Why are you so obsessed with comparing yourself to others? Because that's how I was raised!

Of course you don't have to care about these things, because even if you are compared with others, including your mother, you have talents and abilities that are enough to be remembered. Your name is Qingchuan Xiang, not the daughter of the Qingchuan family!

The fire in his heart burned more and more under the firewood called "feeling of inferiority". In the state of fatigue and exhaustion, even the barriers that had locked his heart in the past were removed, and malice surged out.

The only emergency measure Li Xi could take seemed to be to vent his inner anger and use a domineering and aggressive image to forcibly cover up his weakness.

She was indeed going to do so, but when she was about to speak, she saw Qingchuan Xiang's calm, boundless blue eyes, and it was as if she was half splashed by the water flowing in those eyes, and suddenly her passion went out.

If I really scold Qingchuan Xiang, the band, which is already facing many setbacks, will probably fall apart even further.

After Xiangzi left the band, the miserable situation of CRYCHIC made Lixi realize one thing: she was not the core that could maintain the band. If she really wanted to form a band with Xiaodeng now, the person she should not anger the most was the person in front of her.

This kind of thought further fueled his self-inferiority, but this time Li Xi's heart was as dead as a pool of water, without any sign of burning passion.
