Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

So what can Xiangzi do?

Xiangzi subconsciously looked at Qingchuan Xiang, who was slowly packing up the things in her hands.

Xiaoxiang and others formed a new band and also collaborated with Sumi, the band Chuhua was in. It seemed that whether it was for fun or pursuing a career, Xiaoxiang had an easier time than herself...

A feeling of discomfort gripped Xiangzi's heart.

There is no doubt that Xiangzi likes Qingchuan Xiang, and she also believes that she is absolutely capable of being worthy of Xiaoxiang, but when will that happen?

Xiangzi is indeed working hard, but the conditions she has now block many of the paths she could take freely when she was in the Toyokawa family. Even with this limitation, her efforts are only to prevent her skills from regressing too much.

Do we really have to continue asking for more from Qingchuan Xiang in order to move forward?

The discomfort became more and more severe.

"Xiangzi." A clear voice called Xiangzi's name.

"Hmm?" Xiangzi, who was still immersed in thought, reacted a little late and responded quickly.

"What's wrong? You look so heavy-hearted." Qingchuan Xiang looked at Xiangzi with a faint smile. "Could it be that Xiangzi is a workaholic and would feel uncomfortable if he could work less?"

"no……"

It's because I like you, but I owe you too much. You are such a guy who doesn't care about anything I ask for, and I am a puppet who relies on dignity to turn the spring.

Looking at Xiangzi who had fallen silent, Qingchuan Xiang's eyes moved slightly, analyzing Xiangzi's possible thoughts.

But before Qingchuan Xiang could speak, Xiangzi took the lead and said:

"Xiao Xiang, you should go first. You should go to RiNG with Deng and the others today."

"Yeah." Qingchuan Xiang nodded, "Then I'll go first?"

"See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow."

Qingchuan Xiang walked forward briskly with his bag on his back, but stopped after a few steps:

"If Xiangzi has any ideas, you can tell me! Bye!"

Xiang looked back at Xiangzi. Although she didn't know what Xiangzi was thinking, she could say such words so easily. Seeing her smiling face, Xiangzi actually felt a little relieved for a moment.

"Ah."

………………

After Qingchuan Xiang left, Xiangzi went to the performance club classroom first. This most precious time naturally could not be given up easily.

But when she gently closed the classroom door, the question popped up again.

What should she do now?

Should I just find something to do, or should I ignore Miss Yu's kindness and go directly to work in the bookstore?

But now there may be a more important and long-term issue that Xiangzi needs to consider carefully.

It has been nearly a month since the start of school. How far has she come in fulfilling her contract with Qingchuan Xiang and the goals Xiangzi set for herself?

In fact, Xiangzi had just settled down in his life.

Pursuing the path of a professional band is not something that can be achieved simply by thinking about it. Xiangzi is also very clear that this requires patience. In addition to a little bit of accumulation, he also has to wait for a suitable opportunity.

But... Qingchuan Xiang, the person who constantly helps Xiangzi, brings some oppressive tension to Xiangzi.

The longer it dragged on, the more Xiangzi gained from Qingchuanxiang without realizing it, and the more anxious he became.

But if you want to move faster, the fastest way is to continue asking Xiang for more.

On top of all this, something unexpected happened - Xiangzi fell in love with Qingchuan Xiang.

As a result, these feelings and thoughts became more and more complicated and difficult to sort out, and even Xiangzi, who used to have a clear mind, became confused.

Just as Xiangzi was walking casually on the road leading to the school gate, the conversation next to her attracted her attention.

"Sorry, Qi Jin! I wanted to join the cheerleading team, but I was pulled into a full program, and training alone would probably take up all my time."

"It's okay. Looks like I can expect our school to win a few more medals~"

"Hey, I'm not that great... Then I'm going to go train first!"

Qi Jin?

Xiangzi remembered this name. Qingchuan Xiang had just mentioned it that morning. He was her suspected friend.

As for why it is suspected, Xiangzi, who knows Qingchuan Xiang's psychological defects, can probably understand it.

Hmm...what is my position in Qingchuan Xiang's heart?

For some reason, perhaps because his thoughts were too chaotic, Xiangzi actually took action before thinking and said:

"Qijin-san."

He called out to the girl who looked sweet, lovely and energetic.

"Hmm?" Qi Jin turned around and looked at Xiangzi suspiciously, tilting her head. "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

When Xiangzi came to his senses, it seemed a bit far-fetched to say "Sorry, I called the wrong name" at this time, so he just said the other person's name.

After thinking about it, it seemed that Xiangzi did have something to talk about with the other party, and it was something he wanted to know:

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Qingchuan Xiang's classmate. You can call me Xiangzi. I want to ask you something about Xiang's past. Is that okay?"

"Sister Xiang?" Qi Jin obviously didn't expect to hear Qingchuan Xiang's name. Her face showed surprise and some complicated emotions. Then she threw a question back to Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi, why do you want to ask about Sister Xiang?"

Chapter 203 Not the Current and Actual Ex

Xiang...sister?

After hearing Qi Jin's address to Qingchuan Xiang, Xiangzi was a little confused for a moment.

The main reason is that Qingchuan Xiang's usual behavior really doesn't give the feeling of a so-called "sister". No matter what state Qingchuan Xiang is in, she seems very willful and casual.

In addition to the people he met, even Deng, who was of similar size to Qi Jin, called Qingchuan Xiang "Xiao Xiang". Suddenly, he heard someone calling Qingchuan Xiang "sister", and in a very intimate tone.

Sure enough, the "friends" Xiaoxiang mentioned cannot be trusted easily.

Just based on this one name, Xiangzi dared to guarantee that the relationship between the girl in front of him and Qingchuan Xiang was definitely unusual.

"To be honest with you, Qi Jin, Xiang and I are in the same class, and...Xiang is one of the few friends I have, so I want to get to know her better, that's all."

Xiangzi's explanation omitted the somewhat unclear relationship between himself and Qingchuan Xiang, but what he said was indeed the truth.

"Are you friends with Sister Xiang..."

Qi Jin murmured and repeated Xiangzi's words, but the expression on her face showed some disbelief.

But for some reason, when Xiangzi saw Qi Jin's expression, he immediately understood that she didn't disbelieve him, a stranger she had just met, but that she didn't believe Qingchuan Xiang...

When Xiangzi realized what Qi Jin was thinking about, he thought to himself that Qi Jin's understanding of Qingchuan Xiang was indeed not something that an ordinary friend could achieve. At least it seemed that Qi Jin was aware of Xiang's psychological flaws.

For a moment, Xiangzi couldn't control his expression, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. He was also a little troubled by Qingchuan Xiang's matter.

The two looked at each other and saw something very familiar and deeply felt in each other's eyes, and it seemed that they had a lot of resonance on this.

So you also...

"If Qi Jin doesn't mind, how about we find a place to chat slowly?"

"Okay." Qi Jin smiled and agreed happily.

The two found the Yuze Coffee Shop where Xiangzi, Qingchuan Xiang and Mu had drinks and chatted together, each ordered a drink and sat down.

While waiting for the waiter to bring the drinks, Qi Jin also asked Xiangzi's previous question:

"Xiangzi...right? Excuse me, what specific things do you want to ask about Sister Xiang? Haha, although I wouldn't dare say that I really know everything, after all, Sister Xiang is really a bit too mysterious in many aspects."

Xiangzi thought about it and realized that what she was most curious about now was what Chuhua had mentioned when they were reminiscing about the past on the weekend, about Xiao Xiaoxiang, who was completely different from the one she is now.

But unfortunately, Chuhua's conversation with Xiaoxiaoxiang only lasted about ten minutes from beginning to end, and Chuhua's memory has long been a little vague. She only remembers that the part about Qingchuanxiang at that time was as unforgettably cold as solid ice under summer.

But when Qi Jin and Qingchuan Xiang met, was Xiang already what she is now?

"About when did you and Xiang meet?"

"We first met at the beginning of the school year at Hanegaoka Junior High School. As for getting to know each other and being able to talk to each other, it wasn't until the second year of junior high that we met."

"Has Xiang-san changed at all compared to now?"

"Changes..."

Qi Jin blinked, as if trying to recall something.

"Actually, during my third year of junior high, due to some issues, Sister Xiang and I didn't talk to each other for a long time... If Xiangzi and she were in the same class, you should have seen me coming to your class to look for her this morning, right?"

"Correct."

"Actually, that was the first time I was able to actually talk to Sister Xiang in a while... Maybe it was because we hadn't seen each other for a while, so I was a little surprised when I spoke to her again today."

Qi Jin raised her hand to tidy up her hair, which was not messy at all, and thought about how to express what she wanted to say in a way that was not too rude, but in the end she let out a light breath and said directly,

"She seems more like a real person now than before, and seems to have some real personality."

What does it mean?

Xiangzi couldn't help but frown. Was Qijin referring to Xiaoxiang's lack of emotional awareness making her somewhat different from the average person? But Xiaoxiang couldn't distinguish emotions, not lack them. Wasn't that a bit too harsh?

"Drinks for both of you~"

Just at this moment, the waiter brought the drink. After thanking him, Qi Jin took it and took a small sip to moisten her throat.

When she looked at Xiangzi again, the question she asked was completely different from her usual actions:

"Student Xiangzi, do you like Xiang?"

The two looked at each other again. Just like before, Xiangzi felt that he could still see some of Qi Jin's thoughts from her eyes. This time, Xiangzi had a guess as to why the two of them had such an inexplicable tacit understanding.

"Yes, I like Xiang, but not in the sense of a friend."

"Sure enough! I had this feeling when Xiangzi came to me to ask about Sister Xiang." Qi Jin smiled softly, "After all, Xiang is very capable, and her outward personality is very comfortable to get along with, and... very astringent."

When she said the last two words, Qi Jin felt a little embarrassed, two blushes appeared on her face, and her shyness was obvious.

"So, Qi Jin-san really likes Xiang too?"

"Yes, to be precise, I am Sister Xiang's ex-girlfriend."

"...?"

what?

Although he didn't say it out loud, a big word appeared in Xiangzi's mind to express his shock at the words.

When I confessed my feelings to Xiaoxiang, she rejected me outright? But Qijin, if she's not lying, has she been with Qingchuanxiang for a while?

After a few seconds of silence, Xiangzi asked:

"Excuse me, I wanted to ask, were you the one who confessed your feelings to Xiang, or...?"

"I was the one who took the initiative to confess my feelings to her. I was a little carried away at the time, and a few friends urged me to go to the rooftop with Sister Xiang, and I confessed my feelings directly."

“Even I…”

"Ah, have you confessed to Xiang?" Qi Jin seemed a little nervous for some reason.

"Yes, but I guess I was rejected."

"Rejected..." Qi Jin's eyes moved slightly, and the hand that was originally holding the cup in the air accidentally lost some strength and almost spilled the drink. He asked

"is that true!"

This reaction was also a bit strange. Xiangzi replied: "Yes, she told me very clearly that she could not accept my confession."

"Sister Xiang has really changed... I'm a little envious of you..."

Chapter 204 Declaration

Actually said envy...

For a moment, Xiangzi didn't know whether this was Qi Jin's sincere thought or just a mockery of him.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Xiangzi. I sincerely mean it. My sister rejected you, which may be a sign that she really cares about you."

Qi Jin asked,

"Does Xiangzi know anything about Sister Xiang's...problems?"

Xiangzi nodded. "She told me that her understanding of emotions is flawed and she can't tell the difference between different emotions."
