Chuhua adjusted her hair, feeling somewhat distressed. She felt that even if Xiangzi and Xiaoxiang had not formally established a relationship, things between them were already progressing very quickly.

Can I still get in between them like this?

In the following time, Chuhua took the initiative to talk to Xiangzi about the interesting things they had done on the island before, such as catching beetles, taking walks on the beach, and lying on the grass together to watch the stars.

Funny things from the past are always more interesting when we recall them.

The only strange thing was that when Xiangzi and Chuhua were talking about their past, they also talked about what Xiaoxiang looked like when she was a child. Xiangzi seemed very interested in this.

And Chuhua himself, well, also likes to talk about this matter.

Chapter 193 It would be nice to have Xiaoxiang

On the other side of the view, at the bar inside VA-11.

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Li Xi and Hai Ling, and was also a little worried about what to do next. But there were Su Shi and Miao Meng next door.

What's going on today? People are running here one after another. It's too lively.

In fact, Qingchuan Xiang would not deliberately hide the fact that Xiangzi was working here from others. After all, she was thinking about recruiting Li Xi Hailing to work here not long ago, but that should have been when she was prepared and could help reconcile between the people who met, not as suddenly as today.

Xiangzi can't just work on his own, what if he becomes too isolated?

Moreover, due to Qingchuan Xiang's previous intentional or unintentional actions, Xiangzi, who would most likely ignore Xiaodeng, has already re-established a barely tenuous connection with other people, not to mention the common intersection of Qingchuan Xiang. As long as someone wants to find Xiang, one day they will inevitably discover the secret of Xiangzi's current job.

But let's forget about it today. So many people coming here at once would only add to Xiangzi's proud yet fragile mentality. It would be too much.

"Hailing and Lixi didn't see Sushi when they came. Was there the other tall, cat-like lady?"

"I did not see it."

"Maybe it was blocked by the shelves in the bookstore and I just missed it."

Li Xi said simply, and Hai Ling added from the side.

What a coincidence? Qingchuan Xiang blinked.

But it’s a good thing I didn’t meet them, otherwise if I brought them here, and with two more people, the scene would have become even more chaotic.

"You guys wait here for a while. I'll go talk to Su Shi and the others. It might not be convenient to entertain them today."

Qingchuan Xiang walked to the next room with some hesitation. She really liked having friends over, mixing a drink for them and chatting with them while drinking, but today she had to refuse to receive the guests.

Well, at least I made them a Cinderella during the live broadcast.

However, unexpectedly, Miao Meng and Su Shi were both very easy to talk to today, and did not raise any questions after listening to Qingchuan Xiang's words.

Miao Meng felt that today's live broadcast was enough to satisfy her, and Su Shi quickly nodded in agreement, which made Qingchuan Xiang a little worried.

Su Shi wouldn't be thinking of making a surprise attack later, would he?

However, Su Shi smiled and moved closer to Xiao Xiang's ear, breathing softly. She looked at Xiao Xiang with some excitement and couldn't help but shudder:

"Since Xiaoxiang has said that it's not convenient for me to entertain you, I certainly won't continue to make trouble here.

"But, I want to collect some small compensation from Xiaoxiang."

Qingchuan Xiang turned his head away to stop Su Shi from blowing hot air into his ears. If he blew a few more times, the small hairs on his ears would condense into small droplets of water.

"What compensation?"

Although there weren't many people in the bookstore this morning, it was still a public place! And Qingchuan Xiang could still feel that her sister was secretly trying to look over here.

You are too gossipy!

"Xiao Xiang, can you give me a hug?"

Su Shi requested, his arms slightly open, waiting for someone to join in.

Is that all? That's not really a reason to refuse.

Qingchuan Xiang also opened his arms and hugged Su Shi from behind.

Because Su Shi is a little bit taller than Qingchuan Xiang, and because of her broad mind, she looks a bit like an older sister having a warm interaction with her younger sister.

Hugging promotes the production of dopamine and other substances in the body that make people feel happy. Combined with the feeling of each other's body temperature and breath, it creates an indescribable sense of closeness.

Coupled with Xiaoxiang's unique sweet smell of a mixture of various drinks, Su Shi wanted to drink Xiaoxiang in one breath.

But Su Shi held back for the time being, and just rubbed Xiao Xiang's face with his cheek, and then put his mouth next to Qingchuan Xiang's ear. This time the distance was closer, and he hugged Xiao Xiang with his arms, so that she could not escape easily this time.

When Qingchuan Xiang noticed Su Shi's behavior, it was too late. Su Shi whispered:

"Just now, under the bar in Xiaoxiang's shop, is there someone hiding? For example, a lady with blue hair."

"Well……"

Qingchuan Xiang couldn't help but snort, partly because the moist breath from Su Shi's mouth made her ears feel like they were being bitten repeatedly, and partly because Su Shi suddenly pointed out Xiangzi's affairs at this moment.

"Actually, I don't mean to blame Xiao Xiang." Su Shi smiled softly, her lips a little further away from Xiao Xiang. "After all, I've always known how fickle Xiao Xiang is... Of course, I don't have any delusion that Xiao Xiang would only be nice to me. She must have shown the same tenderness to other girls more than once, just like she did to me."

But it is inevitable that I will feel unhappy and want to have a different position in Qingchuan Xiang's heart than others.

It would be great if Xiaoxiang was there... Even the band that she had always wanted to reunite, as long as Xiaoxiang was in it, Su Shi felt that nothing else was so important to her.

Finally, Su Shi tightened his arms as if he wanted to rub Qingchuan Xiang into his chest. After enjoying the intimacy for a few seconds, he reluctantly let go.

"Then I'm leaving~"

Su Shi was in a good mood. He stared at Qingchuan Xiang's figure, smiled and waved, and left the study.

Miao Meng, who was standing next to her, was sweating profusely. She had just stood behind Qingchuan Xiang and witnessed the intoxicated look in Su Shi's eyes when she hugged Xiang.

Just how obsessed was that person with Qingchuan Xiang? The atmosphere conveyed by his actions and eyes just now didn't seem like something lighthearted at all.

After making sure that Su Shi had completely gone far away and should not be able to hear, Miao Meng moved closer to Qingchuan Xiang and kindly reminded his benefactor:

"Xiao Xiang, was that your friend just now? You'd better be careful with her..."

"Be careful with Su Shi? Why?"

Qingchuan Xiang turned around, not knowing why Miao Meng suddenly said this.

"Miss Miao Meng, are you unhappy with Su Shi for intruding on the live broadcast without permission?"

"No, no, no, it's better to say that after she came on the live broadcast, there was one more person to talk to me while you were mixing drinks, which made the live broadcast less boring. What I want to say is that she might have improper thoughts about you!"

"Then..." Qingchuan Xiang took this opportunity to ask Miao Meng, "Miao Meng, what do you think of Su Shi's feelings towards me?"

Qingchuan Xiang, who cannot see other people's emotions, would find it much easier to have someone who can help him figure it out.

"Um... probably she wants to possess you, Xiaoxiang." Miao Mengqin gave this answer irresponsibly. "There's no doubt that she likes Xiaoxiang too!"

"Like," that word alone doesn't explain anything at all. Qingchuan Xiang sighed in distress.

Chapter 194 Uniform

When Qingchuan Xiang sent Miao Meng and Su Shi away and returned to VA-11, he saw that Xiangzi and Chuhua were no longer staying in the staff room. It seemed that chatting with old friends also helped Xiangzi calm down faster.

However, Qingchuan Xiang looked at Li Xi and Xiangzi who were standing together but seemed to have no communication at all. Even though Xiang was not good at reading the atmosphere, he could tell that the feeling was definitely not good.

Fortunately, there is Chu Hua, who is eloquent and has high emotional intelligence, who mediates in the middle. Hai Ling, the golden supporting actor, seems to be able to talk to anyone she meets. In addition, the sense of reliability she exudes just by standing there prevents the situation from being too awkward.

Last time it was Sushi and Xiangzi, is it Lixi's turn this time? It's not raining today.

Qingchuan Xiang touched his lips, which were still a little dry, but no longer considered "dehydrated".

It was different from the state when he crossed the water. The last time when Xiangzi and Su Shi were together, he almost didn't think in the rain, just relying on his instinct to think whatever came to his mind. Fortunately, the two of them reconciled to some extent.

If I lack water, I will become less rational, but it will be completely different. If Lixi and Xiangzi have a conflict in the middle of the process, I will most likely do something extreme.

For example, forcibly locking two people into a room, or directly exposing the past of both of them, and scolding them both at the same time.

So if possible, Qingchuan Xiang still hopes to at least maintain a normal water content.

"Can you get me a glass of water?"

Qingchuan Xiang walked to the back of the bar. Now there were Hailing Lixi standing behind the bar, while Chuhua Xiangzi was sitting in front of the bar.

"Here, Qingchuan."

Hailing casually poured a glass of ice water for Qingchuan Xiang. After Xiang took it, he did not drink it in a gulp. Instead, he let the water pass over his lips and mouth to moisten them before drinking it.

"Ms. Miao Meng and Su Shi have already left." Qingchuan Xiang said, and touched his lips, which were slowly regaining their moisture, with satisfaction. "Hailing and Lixi, Miss Linlinzi asked you to come and learn from her... Although I don't know what she wants me to teach you.

"Then Chuhua came to me to ask about the affairs at the firm?"

After confirming the purpose of the two groups of uninvited people again, Qingchuan Xiang thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

After thinking of some possibilities, Qingchuan Xiang suddenly moved closer to Li Xi and grabbed Li Xi's shoulders with both hands.

"What's wrong?" Li Xi, who was suddenly caught, subconsciously turned his head to look at Qingchuan Xiang, but saw Xiang staring at his eyes with her blue eyes, which looked even clearer at close range.

"Lixi, did you stay up late?"

"Uh, yes."

Those eyes that seemed to hide the ocean had an inexplicable oppressive aura at close range, which made Li Xi subconsciously admit it.

"And it also affected my part-time job at RiNG today, right, Hailing?"

"Yeah, he's always forcing himself to keep his eyes open and nodding his head, trying to catch fish." Hailing nodded, and incidentally exposed Lixi's bad school life. "But it's still better than when he was in school. During class, he basically just gave up and fell asleep on the desk."

"Really? I haven't noticed that." Chu Hua also covered his mouth and chuckled.

It was only then that Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi realized that these three people happened to be in the same class. Is this fate?

"Then it's likely that Miss Rinrinko is asking you to come here under the guise of learning, but in reality, she's giving Riki a break. After all, Miss Rinrinko and I regularly exchange our experiences and thoughts on opening a shop, so we've long been sharing our knowledge and experience. How could there be anything left for you to learn?"

Qingchuan Xiang clapped his hands and made a conclusion. When he said this, Xiang's face showed a very nostalgic expression.

"Come to think of it, Ms. Rinrinko's coffee making skills are really good. It's a wonderful way to make people feel refreshed. I once thought about working at RiNG. It would be great if I could drink Rinrinko's coffee every day."

"Is it really that delicious..." Li Xi muttered to herself. As a shop assistant at RiNG, she had of course tasted it before. In fact, she was still learning from Rinrinko to improve her skills in this area.

But now that Qingchuan Xiang brought it up, thinking back on it, it does seem to be more mellow in taste and flavor than the ones he brewed himself.

No, now is not the time to think about this!

Li Xi turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qingchuan Xiang who was still holding his shoulders.

"Lixi, where are you going?"

“Get back to work!”

"Since you're already here, why are you just leaving?" Qingchuan Xiang refused to let go. "To be honest, I have some unique features that RiNG doesn't have that you can learn from!"

"What?" Li Xi stopped and looked back at Xiang.

"For example, a uniform that is much better looking than RiNG's?" Qingchuan Xiang said while puffing out his chest, allowing Li Xi to see the well-tailored bartender uniform on him more clearly.

"Let's go, Hailing." Li Xi didn't even look back, but dragged Qingchuan Xiang on the ground and walked towards the door.

After walking a few steps, he didn't hear Hailing's footsteps. Li Xi looked back and found Hailing surrounding Qingchuan Xiang, pinching her sleeves, pulling at her vest, and nodding with interest.

"I want to see Lixi try this dress on. I think it will suit her very well." As if to convince Lixi, Hailing added, "Besides, it's been almost two hours since we left RiNG. If you rush back now, according to Lixi's shift schedule, you probably won't have much time left. In that case, why not just complete the task assigned to you by Ms. Rinrinko?"

And what is the mission? Hailing pointed to the uniform that Qingchuan Xiang was wearing.

Hearing this, Li Xi also stopped and felt that what Hai Ling said did make some sense.

Seeing that Li Xi had wavered, Qingchuan Xiang immediately struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the situation to push his luck further:

"If Li Xi feels it's too embarrassing to wear this outfit alone, you can let Hai Ling, Chu Hua, and Xiang Zi wear it together~ We definitely have more than one set of uniforms."

"Wait……!"

Xiangzi immediately slammed the table and stood up. In her opinion, the bookstore uniform, which was an apron worn directly on the outside, was the most excellent uniform that should be widely promoted. Xiangzi could not accept the clothes that Qingchuan Xiang was wearing, which had a strong professional atmosphere and looked a bit like cosplay when worn!

"If Xiangzi wears it, I'll accept it."

Li Xi turned around and said this with a look of revenge on his face.

Chapter 195 Uniform Temptation

Finally, thanks to Qingchuan Xiang's efforts, Xiangzi finally put on the VA-11 uniform.

And what efforts did Qingchuan Xiang make?

In fact, after hearing what Riki said, Qingchuan Xiang's first thought was not to ask Xiangzi to change into the uniform. If Xiangzi really didn't want to, he would have to give up.

But when Qingchuan Xiang gave Xiangzi an expectant, sparkling look, Xiangzi began to waver before he even said a word.

However, what really succeeded in completely defeating Xiangzi was something that Qingchuan Xiang suddenly remembered afterwards.

"Ah, but the size of the uniforms might be a problem. Although there are definitely four sets left, it seems that only one set is suitable for Xiangzi and Lixi's body shapes."

Qingchuan Xiang looked at both sides and found that Xiangzi and Li Xi were indeed the closest in height among the group, probably only about 1cm apart in height?
