Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Well, the dean will give you a long, earnest speech, then add something like, 'Of course, if you're confident you can do well on the next exam, the school won't force you,' and then ask if you want to attend the study session."

"Which student would dare to refuse in this situation..."

"That's it."

Hong, Huang, and Lu each spoke one after another, and it seemed that they were suffering a lot.

“Aine…what should I do? If something goes wrong with the live because of me having to make up the exam…”

Xiao Deng turned around and looked at Aine with an expression that seemed like she was about to cry. She was really afraid of something like this happening. Everyone had gone through so many twists and turns for this live, but in the end she couldn't participate just because she didn't do well in a monthly exam.

"It's okay! I'll teach Xiao Deng well! It's only been a month's content, and Xiao Deng just didn't do well on the test because he was too focused on the band. As long as he studies hard, he will definitely pass!"

Aine clenched her fist and pumped the gas into the lamp, but she didn't say anything. This was only their first monthly exam of their freshman year, so there were only a few key points to memorize. Besides, exposing this problem now would prevent it from being difficult to fix later.

Take this opportunity to correct Xiaodeng’s study habits!

"I'll tell everyone in the Line group later. Let's take a break from today's practice and give Xiao Deng some tutoring."

"But……"

"Don't worry, isn't Xiao Deng very clear about our practice these past few days? But Li Xi said it himself that there's no problem even going on stage right now, right? Daily practice is just for continuous improvement and to maintain our form!"

"Ah."

Xiao Deng nodded.

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

Class B on the other side.

"How did Xiaoxiang do on the exam?" "Hey——"

Qingchuan Xiang put his report card on the table for the students who gathered around to see. After all, the results were just random exams, so as long as he didn't fail and had to retake the exam, it was fine.

Good or bad grades have never had any impact on Qingchuan Xiang. Her sister doesn't care about whether she does well or not. Instead, she will ask about her sports performance.

What the parents said showed that they were fully confident in themselves. They knew that with their little daughter's abilities, she would definitely do well in the future when she entered society, and might even achieve more than the two of them. Therefore, their attitude towards school performance was more relaxed than that of her older sister.

In the eyes of Dian and Shu, the role of a good school is to lay the foundation for children to have a good life in the future and to shape their three correct views in campus life. Grades themselves are useless.

Qingchuan Xiang turned around and looked at Xiangzi. She had just received her report card. She just glanced at it and put it back into her schoolbag. She took out a notebook and started taking notes again.

It seems that Xiangzi did very well in the exam, which is not surprising.

After paying attention to Xiangzi's situation, Qingchuan Xiang turned around and guessed what the learning situation of the other members of the band was like.

Aine and Xiaodeng are from the next class. As for Aine, she seems to be doing well in her studies. After all, the entrance exam to transfer from junior high school to high school from outside the school is a small hurdle. Last time I went to Aine's house, I saw a lot of notes written on the desk in her room. It was obvious that she studied very hard. She should have no problem taking the exam in a month.

As for Xiaodeng... it's probably a little far-fetched. Considering that Xiaodeng is always distracted in single-threaded mode, it's easy to imagine the scene of Xiaodeng suddenly starting to draw and write lyrics in class.

Su Shi should be fine. As for Li Xi, she doesn't seem to care much about studying. However, with her self-discipline, I think she can get a decent result if she studies hard at the last minute.

I didn't have much evidence to support my reasoning about Maomao, but for some reason, I subconsciously felt that Lenai was the type who had poor academic performance. Just... a typical child with ADHD.

Ok?

Qingchuan Xiang suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was a message sent by Aine in the Line group. He opened it and saw that what he had just been thinking about had come true.

"Xiao Deng couldn't even pass the monthly exam...?" Qingchuan Xiang blinked, indeed a little surprised.

In the Line group, Li Xi replied to the message within seconds, and his eager concern for Xiao Deng could be seen from the text. Su Shi then said that they would have a good rest today and let Xiao Deng focus on his studies first.

It's rare that I have free time today. Qingchuan Xiang suddenly realized this. Should I go to VA-11 after school today, or just go to the bookstore to chat with Xiangzi?

Since they changed seats a few days ago, just as they had expected, the opportunities for the two of them to chat and talk have immediately decreased a lot.

Chapter 331 Gray History

As the school bell rang, Qingchuan Xiang also drank the last sip of water in the cup, perfectly distributing every drop of water evenly to each time period, so that he would not feel thirsty throughout the day and would not drink too much water.

This was a pre-rehearsal for the cold weather that was already approaching. Unlike the scorching summer, even if Qingchuan Xiang drank a lot of water, most of the time he would still be able to balance out the water content in his body due to sweating. In winter, it would be inevitable that he would have to raise his hand to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom during class...

Even the best-tempered teacher will not tolerate a student going to the bathroom during class. Anyone would think that this student goes to the bathroom every time during class, but in fact he just wants to be lazy and slack off.

Ah, bad memories always come flooding back at just the right time...

Qingchuan Xiang successfully recalled the time when he was in Yugaoka Junior High School. He was not sure which semester it was, but the torturous memory of the feeling of water swelling in his body with only a few minutes left before the end of get out of class was still so clear to him.

The teacher, however, was known for being old-fashioned and strict, and flatly rejected Qingchuan Xiang's pitiful request. Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang rushed to the bathroom as fast as his body could bear after the bell rang, preventing the leak from happening again and preventing his strange legend at school from becoming... some shameful deed.

Ugh.

Qingchuan Xiang's body slowly leaned down. She felt uncomfortable being attacked by her own gray history. She collapsed weakly and lay on the table, leaning against the table which had become cold in the current temperature to stop her wandering thoughts.

All I can say is that it's a blessing that this gray history didn't turn into a real black history. However, even if it really caused a disaster at the time, with Qingchuan Xiang's personality, it would be unlikely for him to throw his head on the ground in shame and anger like most people would.

However, Qingchuan Xiang had already made a habit of carrying a spare change of clothes in his school bag. Although the original intention of carrying spare clothes was not to deal with such an unexpected situation, if it really happened, he would have to throw his wet and unwearable shorts into the trash can in the bathroom, try hard to hide it, and quickly change into clean clothes. It wasn't completely hopeless.

It was also after that lesson that Qingchuan Xiang began to develop the habit of controlling the amount of water he drank in winter. The specific measure was to distribute each sip of water evenly to each time period as mentioned above, and to maintain the minimum amount of water to keep himself moisturized for the longest time.

In addition, there are some tips. The small sprayer that can shine in hot weather can also play a good role in winter. The only difference is that at this time it is not used to cool yourself down and reduce water consumption, but to provide yourself with a means of replenishing water besides direct intake.

Qingchuan Xiang, even in an environment like school where people are crowded together, can be a special human individual with a unique ecology (sigh).

"Xiao Xiang? What's wrong?"

A familiar voice came from the table. Qingchuan Xiang opened his eyes and saw Xiangzi's face as expected.

Ever since the seat change, the most regular time for Xiangzi to talk to me became after school. Because Qingchuan Xiang sat next to the front door of the classroom, it was okay for Xiangzi to say a few words to his classmate when he had to pass by here.

"It's okay. I just thought of some dark history. I was defeated for a moment."

"Gray history?"

“It just doesn’t have such a bad black history.”

"Oh..."

Xiangzi looked at Qingchuan Xiang with some curiosity. It was hard not to want to know what kind of experience it was when he saw such a memory that even Xiao Xiang felt embarrassed and annoyed.

"Xiangzi wants to know?"

Qingchuan Xiang slowly and laboriously pushed himself up from the table. Looking at Xiangzi's eyes, he knew that she was very interested in what he said.

"If you don't mind telling me, Xiaoxiang."

"It's really hard to talk about this topic now."

"Xiao Xiang, are you still asking me this to keep me in suspense?" Xiangzi looked at Qingchuan Xiang helplessly.

"Huhu, actually, it's because Xiangzi himself told me to pay attention last time." Qingchuan Xiang attributed the reason to Xiangzi, "I'm just carefully following the list of things Xiangzi wrote for me."

Qingchuan Xiang's words only made Xiangzi want to know what kind of dark history this was. How could Xiangzi not know what was in those things she wrote to Xiaoxiang? Not only did it make Xiaoxiang feel embarrassed, but it also triggered memories of that list...

"You can tell me on Line later..."

"You're so curious~ I can tell you in secret now."

"You just said you were following the rules, and now you're breaking them again?" Xiangzi flicked Qingchuan Xiang's forehead in annoyance. "Besides, I don't have time to listen right now, so Xiaoxiang, you should just send it to me on your phone when the time comes."

"Huh? Xiangzi, do you have anything else to do today?" Qingchuan Xiang was stunned. Under normal circumstances, Xiangzi should go to the performance club's classroom to borrow the piano at this time. It shouldn't be something urgent.

"Yes, a little personal matter." Xiangzi didn't seem to intend to explain what this personal matter was. He simply nodded in response, "But I will still go to the bookstore to work today. It won't take too long."

"That's it..."

"Then, I'll leave first."

Watching Xiangzi walk out of the classroom and disappear into the door frame, Qingchuan Xiang couldn't help but think more.

Could it be that Xiangzi knew something and planned to rush to the bookstore after school to catch her father working at VA-11?

But it doesn’t look like…

I must be overthinking it. Xiangzi should just be having some personal matters to deal with. There's nothing strange about that.

Qingchuan Xiang stretched and packed up her things. She planned to go to Class A later to see if Xiaodeng needed her help with his studies. If Aiyin could tutor Xiaodeng, she would go directly to the bookstore.

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

"Although I promised to help that girl named Xiangzi during the deal with Xiao Qingchuan..."

At Wakamaki's home in Yutenji, Wakamaki, or Meow Mengqin, was doing some simple makeup in front of the mirror, getting ready to go out.

"But I didn't expect that they would directly meet in person. It seemed so serious."

After putting on makeup, Ruomai walked out leisurely, took out her cell phone and glanced at her text messages, which were from Xiangzi.

Chapter 332 Miao Mengqin's Ambition

Ruomai had already arrived at a coffee shop with a light luxury and high-end decor and found an empty seat to sit down.

To kill time while waiting for Xiangzi to come, Ruomai habitually opened his mobile phone and took out the video samples that he was going to edit and upload from the album. He took this time to think about how to control the editing rhythm of the video to attract more viewers.

The reason why she has been able to achieve such a decent scale of self-media today without any support from any studio behind her is definitely not just because of Yutenji Wakamaki's eye-catching and photogenic looks, but also because of her eye for capturing traffic trends and her willingness to learn and practice editing techniques to improve the quality of videos. These are the reasons why Wakamaki has become a Miaomengqin.

However, when I was thinking about the video, my mind gradually drifted to Xiangzi, who wanted to ask me to talk about something.

In the deal between Ruomai and Qingchuan Xiang, Xiaoxiang made it very clear that in the future when Xiangzi finds Ruomai and hopes to ask questions about self-media operations or other issues, Ruomai needs to answer and teach Xiangzi well, but if Xiangzi makes a greater request, Ruomai can consider whether to agree or not.

How did Xiao Qingchuan know that Xiangzi would definitely look for him?

Regardless, from that moment on, Ruomai had been prepared for the possibility of being called in, even meticulously compiling some of his own account management experience. After all, Qingchuan Xiang was a true "big client," so there was nothing wrong with paying more attention to their requests.

But when Ruomai received the message from Xiangzi yesterday and after repeatedly confirming the content of the text message, Ruomai had to admit that what Xiangzi told her in the text message surprised her for a long time.

That wasn't just a simple question, but an invitation, and he even specifically said he wanted to meet in a more formal offline setting.

As for the content of the invitation, it was to ask her to join the band.

Thinking of this, Ruomai simply put away her phone. In fact, she was no longer thinking about video editing, but about something that had been bothering her for a long time: transformation.

Miao Mengqin's account had long been stuck in a bottleneck, and this bottleneck wasn't something that Ruomainu could overcome simply by working hard to improve her video editing skills. Furthermore, her makeup videos were already established in style, leaving her with little time to improve her editing skills.

Ruomai needs some more radical changes to bring freshness to the audience, retain existing fans and attract new passers-by.

The previous collaboration with the beverage store in Qingchuanxiang was a very good attempt, but an opportunity like Xiaoqingchuan that can bring huge traffic and I am very willing to cooperate... I am afraid it is the only one of its kind.

Ruo Mai had thought about taking advantage of Xiang's completely unpretentious personality and continuing to cooperate with her, but in that case, were the people who came to see this account really here for Miao Mengqin?

Among the large number of passers-by fans attracted by the last collaboration, the number of people who were finally attracted by Miao Mengqin and successfully stopped to watch her live video broadcast for a long time was probably less than one-fifth of the total.

"Oh." Ruomai couldn't help but want to sigh when he thought of this.

"Ms. Meow Dream?"

Just at this time, Xiangzi arrived.

Ruomai gathered his scattered thoughts and fixed his gaze on Miss Xiangzi. Surprisingly, today was supposed to be a school day, and the agreed time should have been shortly after school was over. Yet, Xiangzi wasn't wearing her school uniform, but a rather elegant dress. The combination of a plain white bodice and a gray plaid skirt was simple yet exuded a sense of sophistication.

Did he even change his clothes after school? So formal?

Ruomai looked at Xiangzi with interest. She was sharp-eyed and did not overlook the fact that the seemingly elegant design of Xiangzi's skirt was of very ordinary quality and it must be a cheap item.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm Toyokawa Shoko, who contacted you earlier."

Xiangzi folded his hands in front of him, and his dignified demeanor made Ruomai's eyes light up slightly.

"I'm Nyamu~" Ruomai said in her business voice, enthusiastically responding to Xiangzi, who seemed to be hiding a big secret. "But actually, we've met before, haven't we? Miss Xiangzi, there's no need to be so reserved."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Xiangzi elegantly sat down opposite Miao Meng, tilted his head slightly to the waiter who had just arrived and quietly ordered a cup of Earl Grey tea. He then immediately turned around and continued, "Anyway, thank you very much for coming here to chat with me today."

"Nothing." Ruomai slightly adjusted the angle of his sunglasses so that he could see Xiangzi's outfit more clearly. "After all, I'm also very curious why Miss Xiangzi suddenly sent me a text message to invite me, and she suddenly said that she wanted to get me to form a band with her."

He came straight to the point without much small talk and got straight to the point.

Miss Miao Meng was very interested in his invitation. After Xiangzi once again confirmed this on the spot, his confidence in his own reasoning became even stronger.

"Yes, I've seen your videos. You're truly a popular figure..." Xiangzi suddenly changed the subject, "But, Miss Miao Mengqin, you should also realize that continuing on your current path isn't a good choice, right?"

"...Why do you say that?" Ruomai's eyes flashed a few times under his sunglasses.

"I specifically looked at all the visible video data from Miss Miao Mengqin's videos from a year ago to her most recent, as well as the number of followers the account revealed in the videos. It's fair to say that very early on, it was already difficult to develop new businesses relying solely on beauty videos, wasn't it?"

Xiangzi smiled and pointed out the evidence directly: "That's why Miss Miao Meng came to Qingchuan Bookstore during the summer vacation to see if she could find any opportunities, and she even started trying to play drums in the live broadcast recently.

"That's why I can tell that you, Miss Miao Meng, have your own ambitions. That's why I'm confident that you will accept my invitation and come meet me."

Ambition.

This word is really used correctly.

Ruomai learned to play drums not recently. Instead, she started learning to play drums after the so-called "era of big girl bands" came into being in recent years, but she never allocated too much time to it.

Ruomai is undoubtedly ambitious, as he is willing to learn something that may be useless in the end just because of a suddenly popular saying.
