This was also something that was not there when he went out in the morning. Could it be that Qingchuan Xiang was accidentally injured during the short time he and Xiaodeng went to the Astronomy Department?

But the location of this patch...if there is an injury, the neck is tilted towards the clavicle, which is not a place that is easily injured.

Rather... the purpose of this Band-Aid here seems to be to cover up certain traces.

Xiangzi, who had kissed Qingchuan Xiang just yesterday, immediately thought, is it possible that this Band-Aid is used to cover things like hickeys or strawberries?

But the one who went with Qingchuan Xiang was Xiaodeng. In Xiangzi's eyes, Xiaodeng didn't seem like someone who would do such things.

As for the hairpin, it is obviously the more eye-catching part, but it becomes less important.

If you are not sure, just ask directly.

"Xiao Xiang." Xiangzi gently tapped Qingchuan Xiang's back to attract Xiang's attention.

"What's wrong?" Qingchuan Xiang turned around, his expression the same as usual, and it didn't look like anything had happened between him and anyone.

But after all, it was Qingchuan Xiang who took the initiative to suggest "why don't you try kissing", although there are reasons, but it is also very bold.

"Did Xiang and Xiaodeng find any suitable information in the Astronomy Department? I see you're back so soon."

"Ah, I found it, but Xiao Deng said she wanted to take it to the classroom to read, so I came back now."

"Is that so? Then what's with all those Band-Aids and hairpins on Xiaoxiang's head?"

Qingchuan Xiang turned around and looked at Xiangzi. When he heard this question, he raised his hand and touched the place where the Band-Aid was.

"The Band-Aids were given to me by Xiao Deng. After all, she always has a lot. This time, she said she had collected some that she thought would be perfect for me, so she gave me a few. I rarely use them, and I thought, don't you think there are characters in comics who use band-aids as decoration? So I tried them on too."

Qingchuan Xiang pulled down his collar slightly and took the initiative to show the Band-Aid in full in front of Xiangzi.

When Xiangzi saw the complete little water-colored fish for the first time, his immediate feeling was the same as Xiaodeng's. He almost thought that the little fish really came alive in Qingchuan Xiang's body.

"It's very suitable."

"Xiangzi thinks it's pretty good too." Qingchuan Xiang nodded, listening to the other party's opinion. "As for this hairpin, I just ran into Aiyin downstairs when I was returning to the teaching building. After she knew that it was Deng who gave me the Band-Aid, she insisted on giving me this one as well and wanted me to wear it."

Was that pink hairpin given to me by Aine?

Xiangzi once again looked at the hairpin, and after knowing who gave it to him, he could tell at once that it was indeed the style of that person named Aine.

The sweet girlish pink and the gorgeous patterns, if you design how to wear it a little, it will surely add a lot of color to a girl.

But unfortunately, Qingchuan Xiang's pearl gray hair is not very suitable if she wears it directly without adding something else to match it and balance the color. That small piece of pink is too bright.

Chihaya Aine seems to have always been very particular about these things. She certainly would have noticed that the hairpin given to Kiyokawa Xiang was not good-looking. Now she is just relying on Xiang's own excellent appearance to stay here.

However, Xiangzi felt that he seemed to know what kind of thinking Aine had when she gave this hairpin to Qingchuan Xiang.

Sure enough, my previous thoughts were correct. Besides Su Shi, there must be other people who have some thoughts about Qingchuan Xiang.

Then, Xiangzi naturally would not fall behind here.

But the embarrassing thing is, what should I let Qingchuan Xiang wear?

I don’t have anything extra on me that I can give to Qingchuan Xiang... I don’t even have any jewelry on me.

After thinking for a moment, Xiangzi set his eyes on Qingchuan Xiang's hair.

"Xiang."

"What's wrong?"

"If possible, I'd like to see you with my hairstyle again."

"Change it now?" Qingchuan Xiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiangzi to make this request at this time.

"Ah."

"Can I ask why?" Qingchuan Xiang instinctively knew that Xiangzi said this not just because he wanted to take a look.

Could it be that, like animals marking their territory, by changing her hairstyle, she wanted to let others know that she was liked by Xiangzi, so that others would give up?

Could Xiangzi be so bold?

"I just wanted to see..."

His voice became smaller as he felt guilty. "Oh, Xiangzi, you can't hide it from me like this."

But no matter what Xiangzi thought, Qingchuan Xiang was always cautious, so she only guessed it in her heart and did not dare to confirm it.

"In that case, it's fine."

Even if Xiangzi had some ulterior motives, Qingchuan Xiang had no need to reject him.

"So Xiangzi, are you planning to change my hairstyle right here?" Qingchuan Xiang asked curiously. If he wanted to show off to others, it would be best to just show it openly, right?

"...Let's go to the bathroom." Xiangzi still didn't dare to be too ostentatious after all. He asked her to do it directly in the classroom. Even though there were not many students in the class now, it was obvious that as long as one person knew about it, it would definitely spread throughout the class, and then spread to more people.

Just letting Xiaoxiang run around the school with her hairstyle is already the limit.

Chapter 161: Territory Competition ()

It's really too extreme...

Fortunately, there were relatively few students coming to school early in the morning, and while Xiangzi was helping Qingchuan Xiang tie his hair into his own style, no one else came in.

After completing the process of dressing up a doll without any interruption, Xiangzi looked at the back of Qingchuan Xiang's head shaking slightly from side to side, and the front view of Xiang in the mirror in front of him.

Xiangzi had clearly seen Qingchuan Xiang with his new hairstyle outside the school with Xiaomu yesterday, but just changing the scene to school made Xiangzi feel completely different.

The shame is so strong...

Compared to Band-Aids and hairpins, which are two common things in daily life, others may not think much about the two things on Qingchuan Xiang. However, when you see a person suddenly change his hairstyle, which basically does not change, to another person's hairstyle, you will definitely think of some strange aspects, right?

Although it seems that this is the result I want, the feeling after actually doing it is completely different.

"Are you done, Xiangzi?" Qingchuan Xiang urged Xiangzi, who was stunned even though he had already done his hairstyle.

"Okay." Xiangzi came back to his senses. Now that he had come this far, there was no point in backing out.

Finally, he used his hand to smooth the bangs on Qingchuan Xiang's forehead. When he touched the pink hairpin in Qingchuan Xiang's hair, he paused for a moment, then pretended to be indifferent and continued to comb Xiang's hair.

But Xiangzi's little trick still couldn't be hidden from Qingchuan Xiang.

"Does Xiangzi care about this hairpin?" Qingchuan Xianghao stood up straight after squatting slightly to make it easier for Xiangzi to tie his hair, and asked Xiangzi curiously.

Now that it is clear that Xiangzi has feelings for her, Xiangzi's every move has new observation value for Qingchuan Xiang, which helps her try to understand better.

For example, what is Xiangzi's purpose in wanting to change her hairstyle again?

There is no doubt that this behavior occurred after Xiangzi saw the Band-Aid belonging to Xiaodeng and Aine's hairpin on Qingchuan Xiang's body. It was like a psychological desire for balance. What have others done to me? Don't I want to fall behind?

Qingchuan Xiang slowly looked for words that might match Xiangzi's psychology. Perhaps this was a manifestation of possessiveness?

Speaking of which, taking a step back, there is one thing that Qingchuan Xiang is a little confused about.

When Xiao Deng first gave her a Band-Aid, Qingchuan Xiang could still feel that Xiao Deng simply bought a Band-Aid that suited her and wanted to give it to her, but it seemed that later on, Aiyin and Xiangzi both thought of something that she had not noticed because of this Band-Aid.

Is there any special meaning behind putting a Band-Aid on this part of the neck?

But before Qingchuan Xiang could ask Xiangzi, Xiangzi had already walked out of the bathroom, so Qingchuan Xiang had to give up.

When Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi walked back to the classroom together, when they just entered the door, the students who came early were basically in the classroom to study and had their own things to do.

But when the first person noticed something was wrong and Qingchuan Xiang's hairstyle had turned into Xiangzi's shape, although he immediately covered his mouth with his hands and tried to suppress his screams, he still made some noises like a twisting maggot.

After attracting disapproving looks from the people around her, the first person quickly and silently gestured for her to look in the direction of Qingchuan Xiang...

Then one more person immediately covered his mouth.

So gradually, even though everyone had tacitly agreed to speak in extremely low voices, or simply communicate directly using notes or mobile phones, a kind of restless atmosphere began to spread throughout the class.

Xiangzi was very clear that he and Qingchuan Xiang were at the center of everyone's discussion. He had already prepared himself mentally in the bathroom, but when he actually experienced it, he still couldn't stop his face from burning.

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Xiangzi chose the embarrassing ostrich tactic and buried his head in the book on the desk, but even his sitting posture was no longer as upright as before, and his head was slightly lowered.

This made Qingchuan Xiang feel uncomfortable to continue disturbing Xiangzi and asking her questions.

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

At the end of the day, Qingchuan Xiang kept wearing Xiangzi's hairstyle. When classmates gathered, teachers came to teach, and students from the next class came to visit... almost everyone was stunned when they saw Qingchuan Xiang today.

Even though there was a high probability that they would be scolded for not doing the homework, several teachers were confused by Qingchuan Xiang's new hairstyle. They lost their temper and just gave a few words of lecture.

Because Xiangzi was considered difficult to get along with, everyone in the class chose to take Xiaoxiang away as soon as the class was over at noon while Xiangzi was still unaware, feed her lunch and drinks, and ask her indirectly or directly if anything had happened between her and Xiangzi.

In this regard, Qingchuan Xiang still helped Xiangzi hide her thoughts. If she pretended to be stupid, no one would be able to do anything to her.

"Was this hairpin also given to Xiaoxiang by classmate Xiangzi?" Someone also noticed that this hairpin did not look like something Qingchuan Xiang would wear herself, and asked curiously.

"No, this was actually given to me by Chihaya Aine from Class A." Kiyokawa Xiang answered truthfully.

This answer was somewhat surprising to everyone. In fact, many people knew Aine. She was very enthusiastic and had a good personality, so she was also very popular.

“It was actually given by Aine-san…”

Many girls immediately imagined some small stories with complicated interpersonal relationships.

Having said that, Qingchuan Xiang suddenly remembered something he wanted to know. He took the opportunity when a girl scooped some food over with a spoon and handed it to him. He seemed to feel that the collar would hinder him from eating. When he stretched his neck slightly forward, he pulled the collar with his hand, revealing the Band-Aid that was buried deep on his neck.

"Hey, Qingchuan, are you hurt?"

As expected, everyone's first thought was to care about whether anyone was injured... But that's not right. They are different from Xiangzi Ain and don't know much about Xiaodeng's hobbies. Xiangzi Ain can guess why Xiaodeng gave her a Band-Aid, but others don't know.

Then explain it clearly and see how people react.

"I'm not injured. This Band-Aid was given to me by someone else."

"You're not injured, but you're wearing this?"

"Well... because, don't you think it suits me?" Qingchuan Xiang pulled at his collar again.

"That's true, but..."

The girls around all had strange expressions on their faces, and their eyes looked at Qingchuan Xiang a little strangely.

What what what? So there really is something wrong with this?

Just tell me about it!

Chapter 162 Su Shi discovered something was wrong

As a result, it was already time to go home from school, and no one was willing to give Qingchuan Xiang an answer. Instead, everyone had a thoughtful and meaningful expression.

Was I being excluded? A new kind of school violence? Had I finally encountered this pervasive cancer of bullying in this country?

However, even after school in the afternoon, Qingchuan Xiang still didn't tear off the Band-Aid on his neck. After all, it was given to him by Xiao Deng. If everyone went to RiNG together later and saw that the Band-Aid he gave was torn off so quickly, Xiao Deng would probably feel lonely again.

Band-Aids can usually be applied for 7 or 8 hours. Although the Band-Aid that Xiao Deng gave me is like a souvenir, its quality is good and it doesn’t feel particularly stuffy.

"Then Xiangzi, I'll go first." Qingchuan Xiang is going to RiNG with Aiyin and Deng today, so Xiangzi has to go alone.

Xiangzi looked at Qingchuan Xiang who still had his hairstyle, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

Calm down Xiangzi, you've been watching Xiaoxiang with her twin ponytails all day, and the classmates have finished discussing everything they need to discuss, so why is she still so uneasy?

"Xiang, are you going to RiNG today?" Xiangzi asked, "Will Lixi and Sushi be there too?"

"That's right." Qingchuan Xiang nodded. "Xiao Deng is the lead singer, Li Xi is the drummer, Su Shi is the bassist, and Ai Yin is the guitarist. I've moved to the keyboard."

Xiangzi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart after hearing this. If they were just forming a new band, Xiangzi would not have any thoughts and would only wish them a good start again.

But now in this band, Qingchuan Xianglai is the keyboardist. It feels like he has replaced me, and it's completely different.

In the end, Xiangzi still said nothing, and instead asked about Qingchuan Xiang's keyboard skills: "Xiang, have you ever practiced keyboard before?"

"I picked a good afternoon to practice." Qingchuan Xiang replied. It was the day when he met Lenai at RiNG. Although there were some unpleasantness, he did borrow RiNG's keyboard to practice for an entire afternoon.

"One afternoon..." Xiangzi was speechless. If it wasn't Qingchuan Xiang who was facing her, she would be quite clear about his abilities and character. If it was anyone else who said such careless words in front of Xiangzi, she would have frowned and criticized him.

"Oh, right." Xiangzi did remind Qingchuan Xiang that there was something she needed to ask Xiangzi. "I'm planning to buy a keyboard. Does Xiangzi have any recommendations?"

Before Xiangzi could answer, Qingchuan Xiang added, "As long as it works well, you don't have to worry too much about the price."

Don't worry about the price...

This sentence choked Xiangzi, and he didn't know what to say.

Although Xiangzi was once someone who could spend a lot of money on musical instruments and equipment, now when she thinks of the things she used to use, she only has one thought left.

They are really expensive. If I convert all of them into cash and give them to myself now, it may not even be enough to cover Xiangzi's salary for several years.

But it is obvious that Qingchuan Xiang is not short of money.

"The keyboard I used when I was at CRYCHIC was the Roland V-Combo VR-730, which I personally like very much. Even if you don't care about the price, I still think it's important to pay attention to the price-performance ratio. I don't think it's necessary to buy a more expensive keyboard than this one."

Xiangzi gave his own opinion. Although Qingchuan Xiang was asked to use the keyboard he had used in the old band in the new band which was basically composed of old members, the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.
