Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

But when they were looking for clothes, they ran into some trouble. It was not difficult to identify Qingchuan Xiang's room, as there was a sign on the door indicating whose room it was. But when they opened the closet in Xiang's room, Aiyin and Deng were dumbfounded.

Inside were piles of things related to making drinks, including various fruits for squeezing juice, sugar, salt and other seasonings, and small ornaments for decorating cups...

There is not a single piece of clothing.

With no other choice, the two of them had to go back to the bathroom door with their towels. Aine pushed open a gap. She had just gone in out of desperation, but it would be impolite to go in again now.

"Xiao Xiang, we didn't find any clothes in your closet. Please wipe yourself with a towel first and tell us where your clothes are. I'll look for them later."

Aine turned her eyes away very ladylikely, and only extended her hand holding the bath towel towards the bathtub.

Qingchuan Xiang didn't say anything, but Aine felt the bath towel being pulled. Xiao Xiang took the bath towel and Aine let go of her hand.

Then the bath towel fell directly to the ground. Although Qingchuan Xiang took the bath towel, he seemed so weak that he couldn't even lift this light towel. He let the bath towel fall to the ground and get wet by the accumulated water.

Aine quickly pushed the door open a little more and picked up the towel on the floor.

"Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Xiaoxiang doesn't look like she's okay now, at least she looks like she's fainted.

"No, I just don't want to use too much force." Qingchuan Xiang's voice also confirmed her words, without any strength, "Maybe going with the flow is a good choice."

"I don't understand what Xiaoxiang said." Aiyin grabbed one side of the towel, and Qingchuanxiang grabbed the other. At least the towel wouldn't hang on the ground now, but they didn't know what to do for a moment. "Can you tell me why Xiaoxiang suddenly felt so bad?

"Does Aine think I'm in a bad mood right now? I'm certainly in a bad mood, right?"

"Ah, but before that, could you please get up and wipe up the water? The water is still cold, right? Xiaoxiang will catch a cold if this continues."

"Aine, come and help me dry it." Qingchuan Xiang said these words in her soft and charming voice, which made it difficult for people to calm down.

A stone stirred up a thousand ripples, hurting Aiyin inside and out.

"what?"

At this time, Deng finally understood the reason for the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart when he saw Xiaoxiang in a strange state when he entered the bathroom.

"Ano-chan, Xiao Xiang now looks just like she did back at the aquarium...!"

Chapter 72 Questions

what?

Aiyin was confused. Xiaodeng, did you say that Xiaoxiang was in this state when she was at the aquarium?

It’s okay now that Qingchuan Xiang is at home, but would Qingchuan Xiang appear like this in a public place like the aquarium?

This kind of... is like being possessed by a fox, every move is full of charm, but also like a little girl from some rouge water village who is sad about the passing of time, with melancholy and laziness between her eyebrows, yet so pure.

Before this, Aine had never really understood the contradictory term "pure desire", but after seeing the current Kiyokawa Xiang, Aine began to understand a little.

"But...this is too embarrassing!"

Aine couldn’t help but shout.

If Xiaoxiang was really like this in the aquarium, Aiyin would not dare to take her to the aquarium, thinking that it would attract many ambiguous looks!

"Well……"

Now the bathroom door was only open a crack, and Aine was still blocking the doorway. Xiao Deng could only squat down, squeeze under Aine and get close to the crack of the door, observing Qingchuan Xiang's condition.

Deng looked at her a few more times before continuing uncertainly, "Xiao Xiang now is still different from when she was in the aquarium... but she feels very similar to me."

Qingchuan Xiang continued to lie quietly on the edge of the bathtub, one hand still reaching out to grab the towel, causing the side of his body to move outwards as well, and a little bit of his armpit could already be seen...

If Aiyin pulled the bath towel out at this time and Qingchuan Xiang didn't let go, it would probably lead to more revealing scenes.

Should I say she's well-behaved, or is she really just being lazy? Qingchuan Xiang listened to the seemingly quiet team chat between Aiyin and Xiaodeng, but in fact, she could clearly hear them discussing her.

However, Qingchuan Xiang did not interrupt. Instead, after Aine expressed her doubts, she was quite frank and told her about her strange characteristics, answering for Xiao Deng:

"I just get more excited in an environment with too much water, even at the aquarium, and still am."

Speaking of plenty of water, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to want to soak for a while longer. He loosened his hands that were holding the bath towel and took it back. He no longer leaned over the edge of the bathtub, but sat back in the bathtub.

As a result, Qingchuan Xiang lost the protection of the bathtub wall, and the slight rise and fall of her chest was exposed to Aine's field of vision for a moment - just a moment because Aine quickly turned her head away, not daring to look.

With his back against the bathtub, Qingchuan Xiang was half sitting and half lying in the bathtub, with his entire body except his head submerged in the water.

"Actually, the amount of water in the bathtub isn't that much for me. But it really does help since I can actually soak my whole body in it."

"Then Xiaoxiang... are you planning to soak for a while longer?" Seeing Qingchuan Xiang retreat into the bathtub, Aiyin asked tentatively.

Qingchuan Xiang rolled his eyes at Aine slightly, but it didn't seem offensive at all. Instead, it made people feel inexplicably excited.

“Didn’t I just tell you, Aine, come and help me dry off. But if Aine doesn’t move, I’ll still be a little cold if I keep my body out of the water.”

Are you kidding me?!

Aiyin's throat moved slightly and she swallowed.

But in the end, although Aiyin was very moved, she also knew that Xiaoxiang was not in a good state now. If she took this opportunity to touch her, what would Xiaoxiang think of her if she recovered later?

This is a big pit waiting for you to jump in, with an attractive bait placed at the entrance!

"Xiao Xiang, you should dry yourself. Can you tell me where Xiao Xiang's clothes are? I'll get them for you."

Aine's voice was trembling. Qingchuan Xiang noticed this immediately. Aine should have wanted to help her dry her body, but she still refused. Why?

But Qingchuan Xiang is too lazy to explore it now.

Qingchuan Xiang slowly stood up from the bathtub - this time even Xiaodeng quickly squatted and jumped around to turn his head - and took the bath towel.

As Qingchuan Xiang stood up, the water rippled violently, and a lot of water sloshed out of the bathtub and splashed onto the ground.

The mermaid in the fairy tale swam out of the sea on the waves breaking on the rocks.

"My clothes are in my sister's room across from mine. All the clothes that are smaller in size are mine."

Qingchuan Xiang's feet were back on the ground. He didn't care at all that the bathroom door was not closed yet. He just stood there confidently, wiping his body slowly and methodically with a bath towel.

This made her words, which were clearly addressed to Aine and Deng, seem as if she were talking to herself. Xiang just looked at the wet floor in front of her.

"It doesn't matter if I got the wrong one. I can wear my sister's clothes too."

After hearing what Qingchuan Xiang said, Aiyin quickly closed the door and asked Xiaodeng to watch Xiaoxiang at the door to prevent Xiaoxiang, who looked a little dazed, from getting into trouble, while she went to find clothes herself.

This time we found it quickly, and there was no problem as we had worried about not being able to tell Xiaoxiang's clothes from her sister's. Xiaoxiang's clothes were obviously one size smaller.

There was no need to even think about what clothes to choose for Qingchuan Xiang, because they were all shirts and pants, and the underwear was all ordinary cotton.

Aiyin had just picked up a few pieces of clothes when she heard Xiaodeng's exclamation. She hurried out to see that it was Qingchuan Xiang who had simply wrapped a large bath towel around herself and walked out.

Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang did not do anything more shocking this time. He took the clothes that Aine brought and went back to his room to change clothes obediently.

There was a lot of chaos...

Although they didn't do anything, Qingchuan Xiang had finished taking a shower in such a short time, and the two of them began to sweat profusely.

Aiyin and Deng sat back on the sofa in the living room. Feeling inexplicably tired, they collapsed on the sofa and realized how soft the sofa was. It was really comfortable to sit on it.

Qingchuan Xiang quickly came out of the room. Having lost her "wet" state, Qingchuan Xiang's original natural charm and the weird allure that she had displayed had mostly disappeared.

Xiaoxiang is now a normal-looking beautiful girl who looks refreshed just after taking a shower.

If you don't look at her still lifeless eyes.

Qingchuan Xiang also came to the living room, poured himself a glass of water on the way, and sat on a small single sofa next to the long sofa where Aine and Deng were sitting.

After taking only a sip, Qingchuan Xiang put down the cup, put his hands on his legs, and said expressionlessly:

"Aine, Touma, I want to ask you a question."

"Please, please speak?"

"What would you do if you put all your effort into something, only to find that you haven't gotten any closer to success from the beginning to the end?"

Chapter 73: Water Doze

Sitting upright on the sofa, Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aiyin and Deng who were looking at her. There was no way to guess the meaning behind her watery eyes.

After hearing the questions raised by Kiyokawa Xiang, Aine and Deng each had different but intriguing reactions.

If other people were suddenly asked this question, they might think it was some kind of fake personality test and would find it difficult to respond to it seriously.

But whether it is Aine or Deng, they actually have similar experiences on this issue.

When Qingchuan Xiang suddenly asked this question at this time, the two of them couldn't help but recall their own unbearable memories that they wanted to forget but were still following them closely.

“I tried so hard but couldn’t succeed…”

Aine muttered to herself, brushing her hair back and forth nervously with her hand, the cheerful smile on her face looking a little forced.

Although it was only a short period of two months, Aiyin experienced setbacks and failures in London that she had rarely experienced before.

Aiyin, who had always been the center of attention, had long since grown accustomed to being admired by others, to the beautiful rule that as long as she worked hard, she would be rewarded. She enjoyed the joy of being noticed by others and had never been maliciously embarrassed by anyone.

But when I arrived in London, a foreign country, everything was different.

I was in a completely unfamiliar environment, with no friends I could talk to, and I didn't dare tell my parents to avoid worrying about me. Even though I wanted to integrate into the new environment, I was discouraged at the beginning and became hesitant, not daring to make another attempt.

Aiyin also tried to convince herself that as long as she worked hard to learn English and gradually understood the local customs and habits, she would be able to succeed.

But before Aine succeeded, she couldn't endure the torment of being exhausted both physically and mentally.

So Aine chose to escape. She returned to Japan and directly avoided the problem.

Xiao Deng's reaction was even more direct. She clenched her hands and even acted a little too anxious. Her amber eyes, like a frightened deer, looked back and forth between Aine and Qingchuan Xiang, worry in her eyes.

Unlike Aine, Deng's ability to take action is very worrying. In many cases, Deng chooses to immerse himself in his own world and is always negative when dealing with external communication.

The person who then broke into the world of lamps and forcibly pulled the lamp out was Xiangzi.

During the CRYCHIC days, Deng finally started to really work hard, from being afraid of losing his voice at the beginning to finally singing loudly on the stage...

Then, shortly after coming into contact with the sunlight and feeling a little warmth, I lost it.

Therefore, Deng also chose to escape. When the band had not actually disbanded yet, she ran away from everyone, curled herself up into a ball like a watermelon worm, and returned to the shadows.

"..." Qingchuan Xiang looked at the two people who did not answer immediately, and did not urge them anxiously, but watched their actions quietly.

In the end, it was Aine who first returned to reality and the current situation.

Why did Xiaoxiang ask this question?

This was the first thing that came to Aiyin’s mind, and her first thought was that Xiaoxiang had also encountered a similar situation and suffered some setbacks.

But in Aiyin's heart, Xiaoxiang is so "tall", as if nothing can defeat her. If Xiaoxiang really encounters something that even she fails, what would it be?

Then I began to think about how to respond to Qingchuan Xiang's question.

If I guessed right, Xiaoxiang really asked this question because she had encountered some troubles, then Aiyin felt that she had to reply with something positive, right?

Otherwise, if Xiaoxiang did something bad because of my answer, wouldn't I become a sinner? !

Well, if it were someone else here, they might really start making up some nice words without any scruples. Keaiyin has actually encountered this kind of thing.

Asking Aine to say something like “It’s okay, you will succeed, just keep persevering”, wouldn’t that be slapping herself in the face?

More importantly, Xiao Xiang knew about her experience escaping from London! The option of asking her to say nice things was a bad idea from the beginning. As soon as Xiao Xiang heard it, she knew she was just making it up!

Xiao Deng, save... No, Xiao Deng can't be saved either. Although I don't know all about Xiao Deng's past, just from the time we've been together since school started, I can see that Xiao Deng's response to this issue is definitely not good.

Looking at the two people who couldn't answer for a long time, perhaps because their tangled and thoughtful expressions were a little funny, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to find it interesting. He covered his mouth with his right hand and chuckled softly, like the sound of wind chimes on the eaves, breaking the serious atmosphere when the questions were asked.

"It's just a question, Aine and Deng, is there any need to be so entangled? Or was it because I was too serious just now that made you a little nervous?"

After Qingchuan Xiang chuckled subtly and gently, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be retracted. With a faint smile on her face, her body, which was originally sitting upright, also made a slight adjustment and seemed a little more relaxed.

Qingchuan Xiang relaxed all his strength, fell backwards, and sank into the back of the sofa. He then simply closed his eyes and pretended to be sleepy and resting.

Without eye contact, the pressure on Aine and Deng was reduced a lot.

"Just pretend I'm sleeping. The person before you is just a sleepyhead who can only swim freely in the ocean in his dreams. The only sound in his ears is the sound of the sea breeze... and the boundless water around him..."

Qingchuan Xiang's voice became weaker and weaker. When he said the last sentence, it had turned into a dreamlike mumbling. After he finished speaking, he became completely quiet, as if his thoughts had really gone to the sea in his dream.

"Xiao Xiang...?"

Qingchuan Xiang did not respond at all. Aiyin and Deng could only see Qingchuan Xiang's chest rising and falling slightly and rhythmically. After bathing, although she tried to keep her hair out of the water, the ends of her hair were wet by the water vapor. After hanging down naturally, they stuck to her cheeks and neck, but Qingchuan Xiang did not push away these annoying hair strands.

It makes people feel that she really fell asleep.

With this development, even Aine, who had been surprised countless times by Kiyokawa Xiang's various performances today, once again felt a sense of wonder...

Could it be that I had actually fallen asleep long ago? Was I dreaming now? Aine began to doubt herself.

I had always thought that Xiaoxiang was a mysterious girl who was very unpredictable, but today, ever since Xiaoxiang took a bath, she entered this strange state, as if she was drunk, making it difficult to follow Qingchuanxiang's thoughts.
