Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Continuing, the left foot, which was blocked from moving forward, lifted the heel and stood on tiptoe according to the inertia of moving forward.

Continue, gently roll the tip of the shoe on the ground, and then rotate, using the point to lead the line, and the line to lead the surface, driving the rotation of the ankle, leg, and body from the toes.

Continuing, the original forward momentum was cleverly leveraged to transform into a circular posture. The right foot became the new foothold, the axis nailed to the spot, and the left foot on the ground had been ready to go. It finally flew away from the restraint of the ground, drew an arc in the low air, spinning and dancing.

Continuing, as the left foot landed, it made a moderate sound, and then the right foot nimbly jumped up...

Continue, repeat, cycle back and forth, alternate back and forth.

The three colors, which were not clearly defined to begin with, were broken up and crushed in the dynamic changes as Qingchuan Xiang spun around, and became increasingly integrated; only the rotation of the long skirt on one side seemed to be more unruly and elegant than an ordinary skirt, while the scene of the exposed, slender legs passing through the air on the other side also created a completely different style.

Even the black, white and gray that appear cramped, serious and rigid cannot completely conceal Qingchuan Xiang's clever appearance.

Qingchuan Xiang circled around and came in front of Chuhua and Aiyin who were sitting on the sofa, then stopped neatly and ended with a rather elegant salute.

"Xiaoxiang looks really eye-catching after putting on this dress." Chu Hua praised sincerely, and Aiyin beside her nodded hurriedly and took out her mobile phone to ask if she could take a photo.

"Although I know that Aine should also know this, I still have to remind you." Qingchuan Xiang herself certainly doesn't mind being photographed, but now she is wearing Sumimi's clothes. The agency must want to market the news of Qingchuan Xiang joining, so they can't be so casual.

“For now, the news that I joined Sumimi is still a secret. Even if Aine took some photos, they can’t be shared with others. In other words, apart from this, Aine can’t talk about anything she saw here today.”

Then, Kiyokawa Xiang added with a smile, "But if Aine just wants to take a picture of me as a souvenir to enjoy herself when she gets home, then there's no problem with that."

Aine immediately raised one hand, put four fingers together, bent the thumb, and made a swearing gesture, with a serious expression: "I promise to do it!"

Then he was slightly disappointed: "Even though it will be suffocating...but I will do it...!"

For Aiyin, who loves to show off, it is indeed a torture to have so many pieces of information that will definitely attract the envy of others, but she has to lock them in a box that cannot be seen by others and zip up her mouth.

At this time, Mana also came closer behind Qingchuan Xiang, her cheeks puffed up, and she pointed at Chuhua and Aine with her index fingers extended on both hands:

"Is that all you're reacting to? Xiaoxiang is so pretty. I was stunned when I saw her put on this outfit. Now that you're reacting so calmly, I look so inferior."

Chuhua quickly caught the blind spot: "Wait, Mana, you said that when Qingchuan Xiang was changing clothes, you were watching?"

It's hard to say why you were so stunned. Was it really because Qingchuan Xiang looked so good in her new clothes? Or was it that Qingchuan Xiang looked so good.

Aine’s expression turned subtle as she looked at her idol.

"Wait, that's not the case...!" Mana waved her hands repeatedly in denial, but her flustered expression and the blush on her face were unconvincing. "Don't you think Xiaoxiang's outfit is stunning? It feels much more thoughtfully designed than Chuhua and I's performance costumes. I'm actually a little envious."

"After all, although Xiaoxiang hasn't officially debuted yet, to be honest, her status and popularity in the industry are already higher than both of us."

Chu Hua smiled lightly and said some very sad words.

"Hmm... Is this the dark side of the entertainment industry? It's so dark and scary! Xiaoxiang, give me a hug and comfort me."

Mana pretended to be dejected, but even so, Mana, who has always been a very optimistic person, looked very energetic even when she was pretending to be dejected. It could be seen at a glance that in fact, Mana didn't want to pretend at all. The map of Yan State suddenly stretched to the end.

Qingchuan Xiang let Mana hug him, and Mana came closer and rubbed her face against Qingchuan Xiang's shoulder.

"Hehe, Xiaoxiang's body feels cool and comfortable."

"Maybe it's because I'm always sweating to dissipate the heat." Qingchuan Xiang didn't resist and reminded, "Don't hold me for too long, or you'll sweat and it will make you uncomfortable."

"Xiao Xiang's sweat doesn't even feel like sweat. It's almost like clear water. It doesn't feel sticky at all."

Mana didn't take it seriously and hugged Qingchuan Xiang's arm and shook it. She still remembered that last time at the office, Xiang looked more like she had just gotten out of the bath than sweating.

Aiyin and Chuhua also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then shouldn't we get down to business?" Qingchuan Xiang reminded him that he came here today to confirm his first song after joining Sumimi.

“Um…” Aine raised her hands, feeling a little conflicted. “Is it not appropriate for me to stay here any longer?”

After all, just meeting Sumimi in person, chatting with her like a friend, and even getting to see Xiaoxiang's Sumimi outfit, a secret that couldn't be made public at the moment, was already very satisfying to Aine. And now, listening to Sumimi's unannounced future projects, even though Aine wanted to hear them, could she really stay here as an outsider?

"I trust Aine, but I'm not a formal member after all, so I should probably ask my agent." Qingchuan Xiang didn't dare to make a decision directly. After all, what she told her agent at the beginning was just to bring a friend for a visit.

Chapter 92: Foreseeable Storms

Unfortunately, in the end, Aiyin was clearly rejected by her agent in quite tactful terms.

Although she was willing to believe that Miss Qingchuan Xiang's friend was willing to keep it a secret, but... the entertainment industry is like this. Sometimes the so-called black material often comes from those who are thought to be very close friends.

Even though Chihaya Aine is just a freshman in high school and shouldn't have so many thoughts, what if other people with malicious intentions find out about Kiyokawa Xiang joining Sumimi through Aine?

On the other hand, the agent was a little conflicted, worried that persuading Aine to quit would make Qingchuan Xiang, the daughter of a celebrity, feel embarrassed, but fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang was as easy to talk to as her mother, Ms. Shu, and was quite understanding.

This gave the agent some new ideas. If this little Kiyokawa really didn't care, the agent hoped to tie her more deeply to Sumimi, such as trying to get Kiyokawa Xiang to do some sales with Hatsuka or Mana...

Of course, everything has to be based on the premise of not angering this little ancestor, but it does not prevent the agent from already starting to fantasize about the beautiful vision of explosive popularity.

Even though Aine was rejected, she was still very satisfied. She had already collected a lot of rare and good things. Before leaving, she was able to take a look at places like the studio where they usually work with Sumimi. What do you call this? This is a pilgrimage!

Finally, she took away the autographs of Hatsuka and Mana. Having reaped a great harvest, Aine waved to everyone happily and left first.

Qingchuan Xiang could imagine that when she returned home tonight, she would be bombarded with messages from Aine. After all, apart from herself, the person involved, she had no one else to talk to about this, and she would be really frustrated.

"Chuhua, you can use the usual practice room. The equipment and other things are already prepared."

The agent told Chu Hua, who she thought was the most reliable, that she had always been very optimistic about Chu Hua, a talent who could write the lyrics and music by himself.

"By the way, little ones, you can go to the lounge and get some drinks before you start work. The logistics department recently added a small freezer in there, so feel free to use it—just be mindful of your sugar intake!"

The last sentence is a warning to Mana. She has been eating too many donuts recently. If she continues like this, her figure will really get out of shape!

After saying goodbye to his agent, Qingchuan Xiang once again felt how much the agency valued him.

"Isn't this freezer newly added for me?"

Kiyokawa Xiang asked the seniors. If it were someone else, it might seem a bit presumptuous, but—

"I guess so. Xiao Xiang doesn't realize how influential she is in our circle?"

"I do have some understanding of it, but after all, I've never formally participated in related activities before. Although I have been to many places, I only went with my mother to visit and at most experienced the activities in different places."

When the three of them found the small freezer in the lounge, even Chu Hua couldn't help but sigh.

Mana nodded consciously: "No wonder the agent wanted to glare at me."

Originally, Hatsuka and Mana thought that even if the drinks were free, they would probably be barley tea or something like that. After all, as idols, many things are strictly restricted.

In this small freezer, in addition to functional drinks and coffee that they can drink under normal circumstances, there are also things like carbonated soda.

Qingchuan Xiang was sharp-eyed and grabbed a can of drink with quite unique packaging from the small but well-stocked freezer.

"There are drinks I haven't seen before." This is really strange.

After turning the aluminum can, Qingchuan Xiang's attention was quickly drawn to a line of small words. He blinked but did not read it out.

Chuhua made her choice first, picking up a bottle of bland barley tea without even glancing at the high-sugar drinks. Mana hesitated for a moment before finally following suit and choosing barley tea.

There's no other way. If my agent finds out that I dared to drink soda or something like that, I'll probably be subjected to intense, devilish training...

"Xiao Xiang, have you made your choice?" Chu Hua asked when she saw Qing Chuanxiang holding the bottle of drink that Xiang had never seen before, but still staring at the freezer.

"I'm a little confused about which one to choose, after all, there are so many options." Qingchuan Xiang was already overwhelmed by the worries of happiness.

"Hehe, if Xiaoxiang really doesn't know how to choose, just take them all. After all, the agent said you can use them as you like, and I guess he only said that to you, Xiaoxiang." Mana encouraged Qingchuan Xiang to take more, acting like she was watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

"Hatsuka, Mana, you guys go to the practice room first. I'll be there myself later."

Chuhua and Mana didn't notice anything wrong, nodded, and left first.

Qingchuan Xiang is the only one left in the lounge.

She solemnly, solemnly, and joyfully picked up the can of drink that Qingchuan Xiang had picked up first. When she saw the small words on the can before, she turned the can and hid the words in her palm. Now it was revealed again:

Alcoholic beverages (2% alcohol)

Although it does not reach the 3-6% alcohol content of most beers, and is basically jokingly called "sparkling water without the bubbles of cola", it does contain alcohol.

Similar examples include pineapple beer and Qingchuanxiang, which are actually allowed to be drunk by my family, and the content of that is 0.5%.

2%, to be honest, it can be called low-alcohol beer.

As a bartender, Qingchuan Xiangke has always wanted to try drinking. If she becomes an adult, the first coming-of-age gift she will buy for herself will probably be sherry cask whiskey, some high-end stuff to try.

And now, Qingchuan Xiang doesn't mind trying these unrefined, rough, and unrefined little things that can't even be considered alcohol, and even the packaging says "alcoholic beverages"~

………………

Chu Hua opened the notebook in the corner of the practice room and skillfully called up software interfaces that would dazzle an outsider. He had already prepared the sample songs that he would let Qingchuan Xiang listen to later.

Mana was doing simple vocal exercises to warm up her voice. She couldn't compose music, so she just let go and sang. That's why Mana was always grateful for Chuhua's help. Without Chuhua, she would never have achieved what she has today.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Qingchuan Xiang pushed the door and entered the practice room. With just a little observation, even the somewhat careless Mana could see that something was wrong.

Qingchuan Xiang actually only took two bottles of mineral water... Ah, that's not what's wrong.

She walked with her head held high, and the smile on her face was no longer as shallow and clear as before, but instead full of confidence and humor.

Her eyes were still clear, but more piercing than before, with a dazzling brilliance.

"Let's get started. I'm feeling pretty good right now."

Qingchuan Xiang spread out his hands, flamboyant and unrestrained.

Chapter 93: Mana's Little Thoughts

If this world were some kind of inexplicable game, and Qingchuan Xiang were a character within it, then when you placed her in an environment like a pool of water, or gave her items like potions or mead, you would immediately see a new buff appear on her character bar:

Joyful – This character is in a cheerful mood, untroubled by worries. Perhaps it's because a task has gone perfectly, a wish has been fulfilled, an obstacle has been overcome... or perhaps it's simply a strange experience brought on by one's own little quirks. Now's a good time to chat with this person.

Yes, for Qingchuan Xiang, as long as she comes into contact with water, whether she just hears the gurgling of the water, lets the water flow on her body, or drinks it directly, she will feel happy. It's just a matter of how much.

Obviously, what Qingchuan Xiang gained the most from was naturally the most intimate way of contact, drinking the water directly, feeling it flow along the channels in his body, through his internal organs, and being connected to the circulation in his body. Both his body and mind were satisfied from the sipping.

I have to say that Qingchuan Xiang encountered some minor troubles at the beginning because of this. She would always become too energetic because of drinking water, so she couldn't sleep at night, let alone drink coffee or other beverages.

Fortunately, after a long period of adaptation, the freshness and stimulation brought to Qingchuan Xiang by these drinks are slowly returning to a level with less impact.

But if you think about it for a moment, you'll realize that alcohol isn't included in these...

So back to the present, let's take a look at the status bar that doesn't appear above Qingchuan Xiang's head. A brand new buff item is hung on it:

Passion—my emotions are higher than ever, my inspiration overflowing. The sky is closer to me, the ground seems to be detached from my feet... This is something that a mind that relies on logic and intuition cannot perceive. I am becoming dull, but also extremely clear-headed.

Chuhua and Mana naturally couldn't see the non-existent status bar, but just by looking at Qingchuan Xiang, they could immediately feel that she had changed a little compared to a few minutes ago.

However, it doesn't seem to be a bad change. At least now Qingchuan Xiang looks more energetic and motivated than before. Maybe it's a good thing for him to start working officially next time?

"Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you?" Mana asked curiously. Before, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to have been actively cooperating, but if you look closely, her attitude was actually very lazy. She just did what she needed to do. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a little casual and didn't take it seriously.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with me? Mana, do you think there's anything wrong with me now?" Qingchuan Xiang was completely unaware of it, or she was very clear that she was in a very excited state, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Not really. It's just that Xiaoxiang suddenly gave people a different feeling. I'm a little curious about what happened just now."

Qingchuan Xiang did not comment on this. She was full of energy, vibrating the air in her nasal cavity and humming a cheerful tune. It was impossible to tell whether it was a specific song or just randomly stimulating the buzzing in her head.

Chu Hua keenly remembered the bottle of drink that Qingchuan Xiang had picked up earlier, which Xiang himself said he had never seen before. He also thought of Qingchuan Xiang's long-standing love for various kinds of water, and guessed something.

"Xiaoxiang, have you found your favorite drink?" Chuhua asked with a smile.

"Correct! Miss Chuhua gets one point—" Qingchuan Xiang put his palms together and clapped, presiding over the sudden quiz competition. "Ms. Mana gets zero points, please keep up the good work."

"I'm not as smart as Chuhua, this isn't friendly to me at all~" Mana pretended to complain, but she still had the same old habit as before, and couldn't hide her signature cheerful smile. "Can you give me a little treat? I'll treat you to donuts!"

"Huhu, you're blatantly bribing the referee. Mana, one point deducted!"

Qingchuan Xiang suddenly showed some dance skills. With two or three steps, she actually leaped to Mana's side. Before Mana could react, the flowing black, white and gray had passed by her with kinetic energy, and was swept by the rushing water and turned in circles.

When Mana escaped from the whirlpool, a knife-handed strike had already landed lightly on her forehead.

"Hey, why is this happening! Is there a punishment for deducting points?" Mana covered the place where she was hit, but it didn't hurt at all.

Seeing Qingchuan Xiang suddenly start to play tricks with Mana, Chu Hua couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "You two, stop it."

Then he saw Qingchuan Xiang turned his head and looked at him, with malicious eyes.

"Question: since there are penalties for deducting points, what are the penalties for adding points?"

"Reward!" This is a free point question, and Mana will not miss the good opportunity to score again.

"Bingo!"

"What's the reward..." Before Mana could finish her expected words, she was blocked by a hug, and she felt something slightly hard pressing against her forehead.

It’s Qingchuan Xiang’s forehead.

Although they only touched and separated for a moment, in that instant, Mana was dazzled by the face of Kiyokawa Xiang who was so close to her, as if she had buried her face under the water and saw a beautiful sparkling scene.

"Then, next is Sister Chuhua's reward!"
