Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Lixi, you are really amazing."

Chapter 260 Sister Lixi

"Well done, this is for you."

"Lixi...are you feeding the wild cats?"

Although a series of problems from yesterday to now have caused Li Xi's original image of Qingchuan Xiang, who was calm and capable of doing everything, to collapse more than a little, but after being forced to temporarily put aside his obsession with the wild river water and making the tent look very comfortable, Li Xi's feeling that he could rest assured about Qingchuan Xiang has returned a little bit.

The tent looks quite small from the outside, but as long as you stick your head inside the tent and gesture a little with your hands, you will feel that the space inside is as if cast with the Harry Potter's traceless expansion spell, and it feels unexpectedly spacious.

A soft mat was placed on the tent floor, and the puffed-up pillows looked like they would be very comfortable. They were neatly placed inside along with three neatly folded quilts. There was also a small hook on the ceiling of the tent, from which a small nightlight was hung.

Li Xi was very satisfied. He took out a bottle of mineral water that he had just confiscated from Qingchuan Xiang and gave it to Xiang as a reward.

Of course I'm very happy to get Shuiqingchuanxiang, but Li Xi's attitude... really looks like the way he trains a pet.

Well, for example, when feeding a wild cat matcha parfait.

Qingchuan Xiang took the mineral water with mixed feelings. One day, he was actually mistaken for the same species as that stupid little cat. Shouldn't he reflect on himself?

"Now that the tent is set up, what are we going to do?" Li Xi asked Xiao Deng, seemingly restless. "Is it Xiao Deng who is going to give a report on the astronomy club's activities today? Is this place convenient for stargazing?"

"Over there... there's a higher place. I want to set up the telescope there tonight..."

Xiao Deng pointed to the hill next to him. It wasn't far away, but there were forests all along the way, so it probably wouldn't be easy to walk there.

"Xiao Deng, have you been here before?" Li Xi estimated the distance and confirmed with Xiao Deng.

"No, I just listened to the place my dad recommended to me."

"In that case, I'll go ahead and explore the route myself. I'm worried it might be dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night." Li Xi stretched his ankle joints. "Deng, you and Xiang can rest here."

"Eh?" Xiao Deng was startled. He didn't expect Li Xi to plan to explore the way by himself. He quickly said, "No need. I brought a flashlight. Li Xi also needs to rest well."

"It's okay. I got enough sleep yesterday and I'm in good spirits now."

Seeing that Li Xi seemed to insist on doing this, Xiao Deng was not happy at all, but his face looked a little gloomy.

"Why does Lixi always do so many things for us? It's the same now, and it was the same when he was in the band. Lixi always keeps himself busy and can't stop... Even though we were so tired at Xiaoxiang's house that we slept for so long."

"Little lamp?"

Lixi didn't expect Xiaodeng to suddenly say such a thing. She realized that Deng seemed to have some emotions that had been pent up. Now that there were only three of them, Deng suddenly remembered these things because of Lixi's choice just now.

"Is it because I'm not capable enough that Li Xi needs to work so hard?"

Xiao Deng's words stunned Li Xi. The reason why she always liked to work so hard was because she was not confident in herself, not what Deng thought.

"No, that's impossible! It's just that I've always been lagging behind you, so I have to work so hard."

Li Xi hurriedly explained, but Xiao Deng shook his head, not believing Li Xi's words.

"But Lixi is obviously a very good person, isn't he?" Deng said so. In her heart, compared to herself who always makes mistakes when practicing singing, and forgets even the memory of singing after going on stage. Lixi can not only do his own division of labor in drumming, but can always help with other things. He is really much more amazing.

Influenced by his own despicable heart, Li Xi still wanted to deny it, but these were Deng's words. Li Xi, who regarded Deng's singing as salvation, stopped subconsciously. Pulled between the two, he didn't know what to say for a moment and couldn't open his mouth.

Li Xi subconsciously looked at Qingchuan Xiang, thinking that Xiang knew her situation clearly, and there would be no problem if she explained it -

Then she saw the strange smile on Qingchuan Xiang's face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. What was this guy planning to do?!

I saw Qingchuan Xiang with one hand on Xiaodeng's shoulder and the other hand gently patting Xiaodeng's back. While comforting Xiaodeng's emotions, he nodded and sighed.

"That's right, Li Xi is so powerful, yet he always acts so modest. He really doesn't want to leave us any chance to survive~"

"Lixi is a great drummer..."

"He works very hard and is very talented in mixing drinks."

"Lixi always makes appointments for band practice."

"He's very strong too, he looks like he could kill me with one punch (whispering)."

The last few words were said by Qingchuan Xiang while hiding behind Xiaodeng.

"Ah—that's enough, I get it! I won't go!"

Qingchuan Xiang and Deng were singing the same tune, clearly praising someone, but it was as if they were holding a feather, constantly sweeping and scratching Li Xi's sense of shame.

For Li Xi, who has always been compared with her sister, such high-intensity praise is simply a huge allergen. After just hearing a few words, she began to feel uncomfortable all over and her face turned red.

But Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to be ready to let Lixi go. She whispered something behind Xiaodeng's ear. After hearing what Xiang said, Deng looked at Lixi, made a gesture to encourage herself, and walked forward:

"Sister Lixi..."

elder sister……

Xiao Deng seemed to say something else afterwards, but in Li Xi's ears, the volume of the first four words seemed particularly loud, like thunder and lightning coming out of the blue, which made Li Xi deaf. He could only see Xiao Deng's mouth opening and closing, but no sound was heard.

Only the four words "Sister Lixi" kept echoing in Lixi's mind.

Outstanding effect!

"Xiao Xiang, Lixi fainted while standing...!"

"Let me take a look."

I waved my hands in front of her, shook her arms, and patted her face, but she didn't respond at all despite the repeated harassment.

The effect is so good? Although Qingchuan Xiang guessed that when Li Xi was called "sister", a title that more or less symbolized dependence, and it was Xiao Deng who said it, it would definitely give Li Xi a big shock, but she didn't expect that she would be stunned.

After Qingchuan Xiang thought about it, he also leaned close to Li Xi's ear, opened his lips slightly, and said something confusing:

"Sister Lixi~"

Chapter 261 River

Qingchuan Xiang originally thought that Lixi would only react so violently to Xiaodeng calling her sister. If she called her sister Lixi, she might be waved away in disgust.

So in order to wake Lixi up, Qingchuan Xiang deliberately chose to get close to Lixi's ear, and his voice was a little coquettish, trying to have a greater impact on Lixi, in case this still failed to wake her up.

This really worked very well. While Qingchuan Xiang's slightly raised ending tone was still lingering in Lixi's ears, Lixi's body suddenly shuddered, and he looked at Qingchuan Xiang with disbelief in his eyes.

If Li Xi felt a simple and intense joy when Xiao Deng called her sister, and also felt touched by the cuteness of the animal-like Deng, then when it came to Qingchuan Xiang, the emotions that it brought to Li Xi became much more complicated.

In addition to the novelty of Li Xi, who has always been in the position of "sister", suddenly being called sister, when this person is Qingchuan Xiang, who she has always subconsciously regarded as a person to pursue and is superior to her, it has another special meaning.

Although it sounds a bit vulgar, when Li Xi heard Qingchuan Xiang call her sister as if to show weakness, Li Xi felt a desire to conquer...

He wanted to press on with his victory and severely "suppress" Qingchuan Xiang.

This idea was like a sudden emergence from Li Xi's dark personality. Li Xi was startled as soon as it appeared. He quickly lowered his eyes and looked away, worried that Qingchuan Xiang would see his bad thoughts.

Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to notice anything and just regarded Li Xi's behavior as simply shyness.

"Hoo hoo, Lixi, you're finally awake. I was worried that you would stay in a daze until the evening."

The way he was addressed changed back to "Lixi"... Lixi felt inexplicably disappointed, but quickly shook his head. Why should he be disappointed about this?

Even if I have to be called sister, it would definitely be better if Xiao Deng calls me that. Why do I want Xiang to call me sister? It must be because I slept too long last night and was too lazy.

"So what are we going to do now?" In order to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, Li Xi changed the subject.

After lunch, they only rested for a short while before taking a car to the campsite. Considering the time spent on the journey and the time spent setting up the tent, it was only three o'clock now, so it was too early to start cooking dinner.

"Is there anything you want to do before Xiao Deng comes?" Qingchuan Xiang turned around and asked Deng.

"No..." Xiao Deng shook her head. She was only focused on looking at the stars and hadn't considered what she could do if she arrived before that.

"In that case, let's go play by the river!" Qingchuan Xiang immediately suggested.

"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Do you know if there's a river nearby?" Li Xi asked in confusion. "I didn't see any rivers when I drove all the way here, or did you do some research before coming here?"

"Hehe, I don't need that kind of thing. From the moment I stepped into this mountain, I could already hear the sound of flowing water!"

"Is it really that mysterious..." Li Xi also tried to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear anything. He looked at Qingchuan Xiang again and saw that he had already started rummaging through the pile of things he brought.

"You didn't bring your swimsuit?"

"No, I'm taking this." Qingchuan Xiang showed the fishing rod in his hand. "My swimsuit is a long time old, and it's definitely not wearable now. Although I can soak in the inflatable swimming pool at home, I always soak in it in ordinary clothes."

Qingchuan Xiang's words surprised Li Xi. Given Qingchuan Xiang's love for water, she should also like swimming, right? But Xiang didn't seem to be much of a swimmer.

After hearing Li Xi's doubts, Qingchuan Xiang had no intention of hiding anything.

"That's because I'm not used to being in a body of water with other people, especially in a pool with stagnant water like swimming. To be more precise, that kind of behavior is really a bit too chaotic..."

"Huh? Why did you bring up this word?"

"To me, sharing a glass of water with someone is like kissing. Just soaking in the same pool with someone is like... no different."

The more Qingchuan Xiang spoke, the softer her voice became, and there were a few words in the middle that were completely inaudible, but it was enough for Li Xi to understand the meaning.

Looking at Qingchuan Xiang's rare shy behavior, which happened to be right after she called Lixi sister, Lixi's strange thoughts that she had suppressed originally resurfaced.

This guy's ideas in some areas are really abnormal!

Finally, with Xiao Deng's approval, the three of them set out to find a river. Qing Chuanxiang led the way throughout the journey, almost straight through the forest. After a few minutes, they found a river hidden in the mountains that was not small, but the water was not turbulent.

There really is a river.

At this point, Li Xi has gradually accepted that Qingchuan Xiang is not a normal human being. Perhaps she really is an elf that came out of the water.

Qingchuan Xiang looked quite excited. He quickly ran to the river, immediately lifted his feet, reached out to take off his shoes and socks, put them aside, and then his clean little feet stepped on the smooth stones at the bottom of the river.

"Li Xi Xiao Deng, you guys come and try it too, it's very cool~" Qingchuan Xiang gently stepped on the water a few times, then found a relatively flat stone by the river, sat down by the river, patted the seat beside him and invited warmly.

The river water almost reached Qingchuanxiang's calf. The originally unobstructed flow of water suddenly hit an obstacle. The water took the opportunity to take a detour, leaving long water marks beside Qingchuanxiang's legs, and then quietly disappeared, resuming its natural flow.

"You don't mind taking a dip with us at this point?"

"Because it's flowing, it's better! And you can sit downstream of me." Qingchuan Xiang stretched out his calves comfortably, and even stretched out his small and delicate toes. After carefully feeling the flow of water for a while, he slowly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

The sunlight, fragmented by the trees, shone on Qingchuan Xiang's silver hair, just as dazzling as the shimmering river surface that also received the light. That simple yet happy smile, brought on by the river, seemed so contagious that it subconsciously relaxed Li Xi.

I hadn't paid much attention to him before...this guy is quite good-looking.

Chapter 262: Envy

"So you guys aren't coming? It's really comfortable."

Qingchuan Xiang carried the fishing rod, and stretched his calves diagonally into the soothing water flow, which was like a gentle massage that completely wrapped his feet and could wash away the stuffiness of his feet that had been confined in shoes for a long time.

The stones at the bottom of the river, which have become not sharp but smooth due to the polishing of the river over time, but still retain a rough touch, are rubbed back and forth on them with the sensitive soles of my feet. The rustling feeling slightly stimulates my nerves and makes me feel a little itchy.

After hearing what Qingchuan Xiang said, Xiao Deng naturally wanted to try it too. He squatted down and tore off the Velcro on his shoes. While squatting, he adjusted his center of gravity back and forth and took off his socks awkwardly. Then he moved closer to Qingchuan Xiang and slowly sat down.

"Cool..."

As Xiao Deng followed Qingchuan Xiang's example and soaked his feet in the water, his face subconsciously showed a comfortable expression.

The two of them turned around together and looked at Li Xi, the last one still standing there.

"..."

Li Xi, who was looked at with expectant eyes by both of them, couldn't resist them at all, so he had to take off his shoes and socks and sit down next to Xiao Deng.

It’s really cool.

But Li Xi felt a little warm in his heart.

This was her rare leisure time lately. She usually either stayed in her room, reading composition reference books, playing the dumb drums, or working at RiNG and practicing with the band. Perhaps the most relaxing time for her was when Li Xi was sleeping during class at school.

Obviously, he should have considered it a waste of time, but the series of things he did with Qingchuan Xiang and Xiao Deng along the way made Li Xi feel unexpectedly fulfilled.

It seems that I can no longer relax myself. Li Xi suddenly realized this.

When did it all start? When I decided to avoid repeating the same mistakes in my new band, when CRYCHIC disbanded after Shoko left, when I saw the talents of both Shoko and Kiyokawa Satoshi, or even earlier, when I decided to transfer to Hanasakigawa because I didn't want to live in my sister's shadow?

Even now, after doing so many things with Xiang and Xiao Deng that seemed to be just for fun, Li Xi still felt a little confused in his heart. Not only could he not relax himself, Li Xi even felt a little uncomfortable with it.

But now she seemed to have vaguely grasped some feelings, but it was still a little off, as if she was looking at flowers through fog, hazy and unclear, and difficult to distinguish between illusion and dream.

brush--

A swinging sound attracted Li Xi's attention. He saw that it was Qingchuan Xiang who was trying to swing the fishing line out, but his technique was really clumsy. After the swinging sound, Li Xi looked and found that Xiang's fishing line was not out at all, and he was still frantically trying to catch the fishing line that was running around.

Under the stimulation of the water flow and the wind, the fishing line was very agile, as if it had life. It swayed from side to side to avoid Qingchuan Xiang's outstretched hand. It was completely disobedient and made fun of Xiang.

Xiao Deng also wanted to help, but instead he and Qingchuan Xiang were hindered by each other. Those who knew clearly that Xiao Deng wanted to help, while those who didn't thought that Xiao Deng wanted to push Xiang into the water.

"Pfft." It was rare to see this guy in such a mess. Li Xi couldn't help laughing at the sight.

"What are you doing--" Qingchuan Xiang snorted in dissatisfaction, but with the help of Xiao Deng, he managed to regain control of the fishing line a few seconds later.

"I just thought it was funny." Li Xi leaned back and supported her hands behind her. Only then did she really start to get into the mood of camping and having fun.
