Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"It's already pretty good." Xiangzi looked at his mobile phone and saw that the cute little blue ball was just there.

Even a smile appeared on his face. Xiangzi took the bill and prepared to pay.

"Let me pay the bill."

"No need." Xiangzi rejected Qingchuanxiang's idea of paying the bill and went to the front desk without waiting for Qingchuanxiang to continue speaking.

"You're still talking about Su Shi, but you're obviously quite stubborn too." Qingchuan Xiang said something bad about Xiangzi behind his back.

Then he looked at Xiao Mu who had just been watching.

"Xiao Mu."

"......?" Xiao Mu, who was concentrating on drinking mango juice, raised his head blankly. Is there anything else he should do?

"I'll bring some hair ties next time." Qingchuan Xiang reached out and gently touched Xiaomu's bangs.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but close his eyes, and his perception in other parts of his body became more sensitive.

The cool fingers playfully ruffled the neat bangs, and the round nails gently scratched across, causing the forehead, which had been numb, to suddenly feel itchy.

"Xiao Mu is so pretty, it would be a shame if she didn't try a few different hairstyles, wouldn't it?"

Direct praise... really makes people's hearts flutter. Xiao Mu thought so.

"it is good."

Chapter 122 The Girl’s Thoughts

After saying goodbye to Xiangzi and Xiaomu, Qingchuan Xiang checked the time on his phone and the messages in the Line band group chat.

Thanks to Aine's love for talking in the group, just by relying on the long string of messages she sent, such as "We're here!", "Why hasn't Su Shi come yet?", etc., Qingchuan Xiangyuan can clearly know the current situation over there without sending messages to ask questions, and know whether he needs to rush over.

It seems that Su Shi hasn’t arrived yet?

Something feels wrong. If Qingchuan Xiang remembers correctly, Xiaomu and Su Shi are in the same class in Tsuki no Mori. Why has Xiaomu already reached Yugaoka, but Su Shi has not yet reached RiNG?

Could it be a conflict over club activities? Su Shi was a double bassist in a band at Tsuki no Mori, and it seemed that Xiangzi had taken a liking to Su Shi because of her ability in this area.

But with Su Shi's personality, even if, if she is not sincere about the new band, she will do her best to appear positive. If there is really a conflict in the schedule, she will definitely say it in the Line group chat.

She would not easily allow her image to be destroyed, as it was the basis for her to gain a foothold in the Dream Moon Forest.

Where is Su Shi now?

Qingchuan Xiang was thinking, but she didn't stop completely. She walked for a while and took a sip of the large bottle of drink she had mixed earlier. As long as she was not the last one to arrive, she was not in a hurry.

Feeling the water flowing into his throat, coupled with the pleasure of the impending rain, Qingchuan Xiang's brain was working very fast.

She quickly thought of what the most likely option was given all the conditions and clues she knew.

Qingchuan Xiang looked back in the direction he came from, but he could no longer see Xiangzi and Xiaomu.

It's not really what I think, is it?

Qingchuan Xiang quickly activated her memory again, this time recalling what she had said when she was at the Su family.

Hmm... Is it because of what I said last time that Su Shi no longer intends to passively wait for information and instead takes a more proactive approach?

Although it's not quite the same as the direction I hoped Su Shi would change, this kind of Su Shi is indeed a step forward, right?

Thinking of this, Qingchuan Xiang's dissatisfaction disappeared when he heard Xiaomu say that Su Shi was still obsessed with Xiangzi.

Phew, it’s a good thing to be able to make a change.

As for the fact that Sushi and Xiangzi might be facing off now...

There's no need for me to get involved. It would be nice if the two of them could take this opportunity to have a good chat.

However, Qingchuan Xiang felt that it was likely that the conversation between the two would be very unpleasant. After all, Su Shi's behavior was stalking others, which was an invasion of their privacy.

For Xiangzi, the moment he saw Su Shi, he should have immediately realized that Xiao Mu was being followed.

………………

"Xiao Mu, it's time for you to go home. I have to go to the library now, so let's just say goodbye here."

When they got near the station, it seemed like they were going the same way, Xiangzi said to Xiaomu.

"Okay." Mu responded softly, but his eyes drifted towards the little blue balls that occasionally appeared at the back of Xiangzi's head.

"What's wrong?" Xiangzi found that Mu was secretly looking at his new hairstyle. It was a very ordinary thing, but because the person represented by this hairstyle was a little special, Xiangzi felt inexplicably shy. He tilted his head and hid the little ball.

"..." Xiao Mu was silent for a moment, and before he could speak, which was rare at this time, he finally changed his words and said, "Xiangzi is very happy now."

"That's true." Xiangzi laughed in silence. She was still wondering what Xiaomu wanted to say, but it turned out to be just this.

"Because of Qingchuan Xiang?"

"Yeah." The smile on Xiangzi's face became more and more obvious. "She really gave me a lot, not just material help..."

If a bad life is a rotten, sticky swamp that drags everyone who passes by into it and makes them dirty, then when Xiangzi first realized that her life was actually too well protected by the protection of her family, she felt the huge malice.

The first time Xiangzi fell into the quagmire, he did not do what most people do, accidentally stepping in and sinking his entire heel into it.

She was thrown into the swamp. Without any warning or chance to resist, she fell from the high clouds into the low, dirty water.

The heavy, foul water directly reached Xiangzi's neck. Just a little bit more and Xiangzi was almost defeated.

"Mu, at that time I really felt like I had no one to rely on but myself... But even if I were on my own, what could I accomplish? I didn't even have that little bit of confidence anymore."

Faced with his "half body", Xiangzi rarely opened up his mouth.

Suspicion, anxiety, disbelief… These filled my hollow chest, beating even harder than my heart. And the worst part was, at that moment, I still had something I hadn’t given up on—

"My warped self-esteem."

This quality, which is usually regarded as a "virtue", at that time made Xiangzi's situation even more embarrassing. Even when Xiao Mu wanted to help Xiangzi, she refused.

Xiangzi didn't know that his self-esteem had become an obstacle to his survival and even his resurgence.

But if she has lost everything and even abandons this last bit of self-respect, is she really Xiangzi?

This idea may be scoffed at by others, who think it is just a naive idea that has not yet been really beaten by society, but it was really Xiangzi's last spiritual support during that period.

Everything turned around on that rainy day.

The cascading water, the gloomy dark clouds, and the unrestrained figure standing tall in the gloom...that beautiful stream of water.

Lies one after another, excessive time and again, just provided a warm and intimate contact, and finally the mind was completely soothed by two cups of tea.

Qingchuan Xiang is unpredictable and mysterious. She can lie to you to reveal your true feelings, or she can be honest with you without any care.

She found the most suitable method to make Xiangzi obedient at that time: the contract. It was not a one-sided contribution, but a loan waiting to be reaped. Even the final return was vague, and it looked like a bad contract that was a huge scam.

But it just happened to be at the edge of Xiangzi's bottom line.

Once this contract was signed, it would be difficult for Xiangzi to distance himself from Qingchuan Xiang.

The quagmire was still the same quagmire, except that a mysterious guy suddenly rushed out with a large bucket of water, which he poured into the quagmire that Xiangzi had fallen into, washing away most of the mud.

Okay, now it’s your turn to climb out!

That person only did these few things, but it made Xiangzi extremely... moved.

Chapter 123 Exposure and Conflict

Xiao Mu watched Xiangzi slowly express his inner thoughts. Although Mu was not good at expressing herself, she was very good at feeling other people's emotions.

Xiao Mu could feel that what Xiangzi said now was not false at all, and she really had some inexplicable feelings for Qingchuan Xiang.

So Xiao Mu picked up the words he hadn't asked just now:

"Xiangzi, do you like Xiaoxiang?"

"Uh..." Although Xiangzi was mentally prepared for Xiao Mu to ask this kind of question, when he really heard it from Mu's mouth, he felt that he was telling someone his true feelings, and it was a question that naturally had a pink tinge.

Xiangzi hesitated, but finally said it out:

"Yes, I like Qingchuan Xiang. I can't fake it. It's not because I'm grateful for her help, but because I feel happy just seeing her and want to know more about her...that kind of love."

After finishing this embarrassing love declaration, Xiangzi quickly added: "Xiao Mu, please don't tell anyone about this, including Qingchuan Xiang."

"Why?" Xiao Mu didn't know why Xiangzi did this. This was not her style. If it were Xiangzi, she would take action immediately after making it clear that she really liked someone. This was Xiangzi's confidence, which could be seen when CRYCHIC was recruiting people.

"I hope to be able to confess my feelings to Qingchuanxiang on an equal footing," Xiangzi said seriously. "After all, I still owe Qingchuanxiang too much."

As expected, he still couldn't let go of his pride. Xiao Mu thought to himself, this is really Xiangzi's style.

"I understand." Xiao Mu didn't say anything more. His expressionless face showed no extra thoughts.

"Well, Xiao Mu, I'm leaving first."

"Ah."

Xiangzi and Xiaomu also said goodbye here for the time being.

And there seemed to be a third person present.

Su Shi hid behind a very close cover and covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from screaming out loud because of the shocking news she accidentally overheard.

Xiao Mu really knew where Xiangzi was. Xiangzi was now wearing Yuqiu's school uniform and studying there.

However, today, the thing that I had been trying to figure out suddenly had to give way to new information.

Xiangzi, she... likes Qingchuan Xiang.

Su Shi didn't know why she was so shocked by this incident, so much so that she briefly forgot the purpose of her decision to track Xiao Mu today.

Since when did Xiaoxiang know all this? Did she know everything since that rainy day? Why didn't she tell me?

This tracking allowed Su Shi to successfully answer some of the questions that he had been eager to get answers to, but it also added more questions to himself.

Su Shi quickly realized that Xiaoxiang had hidden Xiangzi's affairs from her.

In fact, when she was at Su Shi's house, many of Qingchuan Xiang's behaviors had already shown that she knew some things about Xiangzi, but Su Shi never thought that Qingchuan Xiang, who had always behaved normally and treated everyone equally in CRYCHIC, had such a good relationship with Xiangzi without her knowing.

Don't want to let go——

This was Su Shi’s first thought after hearing it.

Will Qingchuan Xiang, who gives him warmth and care like a family member and allows him to take care of her, be snatched away by Xiangzi?

He had clearly left the band, forcing his home to fall apart, but now he was going to attack Qingchuan Xiang, who had given him "family love" for the second time.

Just as Su Shi's thoughts were about to slide into an unknown dark abyss, he finally woke up in time.

Don’t think too much, Su Shi…remember what you came here for today.

After being scolded by Qingchuan Xiang last time, Su Shi came to realize that although she seemed to be trying hard to find Xiangzi's whereabouts, she was actually still hesitant and was just hoping that the messages she kept sending would get Xiangzi's response one day.

If you want to take the initiative and get what you want, you must grab it firmly with your own hands.

So after arriving at school today, Su Shi used her words. Originally, she just hoped that Xiao Mu could help her contact Xiangzi, but today she directly said, "Xiao Mu, can you take me to Xiangzi's house?"

When the suggestion of opening a window is rejected, the other party will agree to open the window as long as the idea of lifting the roof is proposed.

This induced Xiaomu to find Xiangzi, and Sushi chose to follow Xiaomu.

This may be a bit too much, but Su Shi's awareness has reached a higher level.

And Su Shi also successfully met Xiangzi, and was surprised that Xiangzi had been studying in Yuqiu all the time, and... would walk out of the campus with Qingchuan Xiang after school.

When Qingchuan Xiang and his three companions were talking in the coffee shop, Su Shi, who was worried about being exposed, did not follow them into the coffee shop. When they came out, Su Shi also hid far away, just to make sure they did not leave his sight.

Because Su Shi was a little worried that she would be discovered by the overly perceptive Qingchuan Xiang, she stayed so far away, and as a result, she couldn't see the slight change in Qingchuan Xiang's hairstyle after he left the store.

After that, Qingchuan Xiang left. He should have gone to RiNG to meet up with Deng and the others. This way, when he went to talk to Xiangzi later, Qingchuan Xiang would not show up.

So Su Shi bravely followed closer, and the result was as described before. Su Shi heard Xiangzi's harmonious conversation and heard that sentence.

While Su Shi was sorting herself out, Xiangzi watched Xiao Mu leave safely and was ready to enter the station.

I can't think about it any more! If I want to have a good talk with Xiangzi, now's my chance!

"Xiangzi!"

A familiar voice suddenly called out to Xiangzi, causing him to freeze in place just as he was about to take a step.

This sound…!

Xiangzi turned around suddenly and saw the guy he didn't want to see at all, Nagasaki Suyo!

Why is she here? Is it just a chance encounter, or...
