"Good evening, Ms. Mori."

Qingchuan Xiang's expression was natural, as if he was just having an ordinary conversation with people of his age. He was not restrained at all and did not deliberately follow some rigid etiquette postures. However, in front of this decent lady, he did not make people feel rude at all.

Although he doesn't understand people's hearts, it has to be said that Qingchuan Xiang is actually very good at pleasing others.

Even compared to his peers, to some extent, Qingchuan Xiang is more likely to be liked by women older than himself, whether it is Rinrinko, who shares the art of mixing drinks with him, or Aine's mother and Xiaomu's mother whom he met during his visits today.

Without any extreme dress or makeup, she is polite and well-behaved, making every elder feel at ease, but not too old-fashioned like a little adult and boring.

On the contrary, as long as you chat with Xiaoxiang a few more times, choose topics according to the personality of different people, and use an appropriate and natural tone of coquettishness, a likable child will immediately jump out and stand in front of you.

"What a surprise! I was worried that Xiao Mu would be back late today, but I didn't expect to see Miss Xiang bringing her back."

Sen smiled, and her voice was very similar to hers, and of course, she also had the energy and enthusiasm that her daughter lacked.

"The last time we met was at my wife's book launch." The daughters of the Kiyokawa family always jokingly addressed each other as "Ms." This seemingly unfamiliar name actually reflected the close relationship between mother and daughter, a fact rarely known in the entertainment industry. "If Ms. Mori doesn't mind, you can just call me 'Xiao Xiang'."

Looking at Qingchuan Xiang and his mother who seemed to be having a really good conversation, Xiao Mu blinked and couldn't find a chance to interrupt for a moment.

Without saying a few words, Mori Minami led the person in. However, she noticed carefully that the socks on Xiaomu's feet were obviously not hers, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.

He didn't know what happened between his daughter and Qingchuan's little girl at night, and even asked Mu to change a pair of socks, and it was most likely that they were Qingchuan Xiang's socks.

If this matter were to get out, it would definitely cause quite a stir. Would this be a good thing for Muhui?

Qingchuan Xiang certainly had no shortage of resources. If she wanted to make a name for herself, she wouldn't need to resort to these shady tactics. She was already quite famous. But then why would she be with Xiao Mu...

Thinking about the story of Kiyokawa Shushi who is often talked about in the circle and helps others almost without asking for anything in return, could it be that this has been passed down to the little girl of the Kiyokawa family?

He brought Qingchuan Xiang to the reception room and asked the servants to make tea. Mori still couldn't figure out the confused emotions in his heart.

I want to learn something from my daughter, but I can't read anything from her expressionless face... Huh?

Mori unexpectedly discovered that Mu seemed a little restless at this time. Although he was sitting next to him, his eyes were always secretly glancing towards Qingchuan Xiang.

It was hard for Ms. Mori not to think of something when she saw this scene.

Could it be that these two kids are really having a tryst outside?

There was suddenly a look of scrutiny in Sen's eyes.

At this time, Qingchuan Xiang took the lead and explained why he sent Xiaomu back with him:

"Ms. Mori, I also studied ballet with Teacher Wuzi for a while. Although I voluntarily withdrew from the class because I wasn't suited to ballet, I still learned a lot from her and became a friend with whom I occasionally communicate. This time, Teacher Wuzi happened to meet me on her way to send Xiaomu home, so we got in the car together."

When explaining, he also made it clear that he had voluntarily withdrawn, and also said something good about Wu Zi.

Then he made it clear that Xiang had something to do, and after obtaining Wu Zi and He Mu's consent, he made the two of them wait for him for a long time - obviously he concealed everything that had happened in between.

Mori subconsciously realized that something was wrong. That would not explain why Mu changed into someone else's socks.

But Qingchuan Xiang immediately added:

"However, halfway through, I noticed that Xiaomu was walking a little strangely. I guessed that her ankle was injured, so I gave her my spare pair of looser, more breathable socks and asked her to change into them."

Hearing this, Sen looked at Xiaomu and saw that the instep and even the ankle part that could not be covered by the socks were obviously redder than the surrounding skin.

"Xiao Mu, your foot is injured?" Sen frowned slightly, because it seemed quite serious.

But in fact, the reason why Xiao Mu's feet are red now is mostly due to Qingchuan Xiang's overly skilled and shameful massage techniques...

"Um……"

Mu lowered his head even lower.

Qingchuan Xiang seized this opportunity and started doing what he had promised before and began to persuade Ms. Mori.

"This is what Teacher Wuzi wanted me to convey. Xiao Mu should have a more relaxing break. Not only should you take classes that strain your feet, but you should also reduce your attendance at other classes that strain your mind."

If that were all, the persuasiveness would naturally not be enough, and Qingchuan Xiang intended to let Xiaomu relax more thoroughly.

"So, I have a suggestion that I hope Ms. Mori can consider."

"Please say."

"Would you be willing to give me some of Xiao Mu's time after school?"

"...What does Xiaoxiang mean?"

"I, Qingchuan Xiang, am confident that I can take on some of Xiao Mu's guidance, whether it's musical instruments, etiquette, or even acting. Even if it's just for recuperation, it's naturally not advisable to completely cut off all learning. Maintaining your condition through low-intensity practice is a simple principle.

"It would be a waste of talent to continue to have Xiao Mu's former experienced teachers just give him some basic exercises. In this case, having me take over is a more appropriate approach."

Qingchuan Xiang straightened her back and chest, her eyes revealing a shining confidence, and she really lived up to this confidence.

Chapter 234 Small results

This morning, although Qingchuan Xiang got home a little late last night, he still went to bed well and on time, so he came to school neither early nor late.

As a result, when she arrived at the classroom, as soon as she stepped into the classroom door, she felt a sharp gaze coming towards her as if it wanted to pierce through her.

Not to mention that it is limited to Qingchuan Xiang's class, even in the school, Qingchuan Xiang doesn't need to count on her fingers the people who might stare at her like this, and there is only one person she can think of.

Qingchuan Xiang looked in the expected direction, and as expected, he met the owner of those eyes head-on——

At this time, Xiangzi was sitting upright in his seat, frowning with a hint of anger, but when he really met Qingchuan Xiang's eyes, he subconsciously pursed his lips, and looked very conflicted inside.

Why are you glaring at me so early in the morning... Qingchuan Xiang didn't show it on the surface, but in his heart he quickly reviewed what he had done recently.

Could it be that Xiangzi discovered that I had hired her father to work?

If that was the case, Xiangzi would think that he accepted Xiangzi's father because of her and that he had done her a greater favor. This would indeed make her unwilling to accept it and come to her to ask what was going on.

On the short distance from the classroom door to his seat, Qingchuan Xiang responded to the classmates who greeted him, while thinking about the possibility that he had indeed been discovered by Xiangzi.

Was it too soon to be discovered? It wasn't even a week ago. Or was Xiangzi's father so drunk that he forgot his instructions not to stay in VA-11 after school?

Or maybe it's just that I have simply bad luck.

They were already halfway there, and could see Xiangzi's face more and more clearly. Qingchuan Xiang could even see the thick dark circles around Xiangzi's eyes. Fortunately, Xiangzi's condition had not reached the same level as Lixi's, so he should not have to stay up all night... Well, should he be more worried about Lixi's physical condition?

In the second half of the journey, Qingchuan Xiang began to think about countermeasures. In short, he first followed his previous plan and insisted that he did not know Xiangzi's father. Then, as long as he could convince Xiangzi that her father really became an employee of VA-11 by his own ability, the problem would be mostly solved.

Not only did it dispel Xiangzi's feeling that he was burdened with new debts, but the fact that her father "voluntarily" started working would probably also make her feel a lot more at ease.

"Good morning, good afternoon and good night, Xiangzi." Qingchuan Xiang, who had prepared a speech in his mind, pretended not to notice that Xiangzi's expression was not right, and sat back in his seat as usual.

"Xiang, I want to ask you something."

But Xiangzi took the initiative, his tone was serious and his aura made it difficult to fool people.

"What?" Qingchuan Xiang turned around and looked at Xiangzi.

"Did you unilaterally and on your own initiative do something related to me?"

Yes, and more than one. In addition to your father's work, I have made an agreement with Miao Meng that if you want to know something about self-media, she can teach you all her experience.

Qingchuan Xiang thought to himself, of course he couldn't say this directly.

After pretending to think seriously for a moment, Qingchuan Xiang put on a puzzled expression and asked, "Xiangzi, what do you mean?"

"...Okay, then I'll just tell you straight away." Seeing that Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to be willing to admit it easily, Xiangzi sighed, "What's the matter with that new keyboard in the library?"

Ok?

Qingchuan Xiang took two or three seconds to react. Oh! It must be the keyboard I bought. I had originally set the address at Qingchuan Bookstore.

So that's what happened? Qingchuan Xiang blinked, but it seemed to be similar to what she had thought before. Xiangzi also believed that Qingchuan Xiang did this simply to allow her to practice the piano.

"Xiangzi, isn't it clear? I'm the keyboardist in the band now, so it's normal for me to buy a new keyboard, right?"

"Quibbling." Xiangzi sneered. "Then why did you put it in the study? Even if you don't practice regularly, your home is closer to RiNG, right? Even if you were just looking for a place to put it, your home would be more convenient, right?"

"Um……"

Hiss, if it was about Xiangzi's father, Qingchuan Xiang would have a lot of excuses to use, but when it comes to this keyboard incident, she finds it difficult to explain.

I asked the keyboard to be sent to the bookstore directly, and I did have the idea of giving Xiangzi more time to practice. If I also used the keyboard in the bookstore together, Xiangzi probably wouldn't say anything, and would even take the initiative to ask if he could borrow the keyboard. But I am the type who doesn't practice at all, so the meaning of leaving the keyboard in the bookstore suddenly changed.

The only thing I can be thankful for is that the keyboard incident is much less serious than the incident with Xiangzi's father, and I should be able to coax Xiangzi... ?

In that case, just treat it like a ball of slippery, knife-proof "water" and get away with it!

However, before Qingchuan Xiang could put on a pitiful look, Xiangzi withdrew his gaze and took out his books for morning self-study.

"I'll pay for your keyboard rental, just like the cost of RiNG's instrument rental."

With that, the topic seemed settled, no room for debate. Xiangzi also turned to his book, looking as if he had no intention of continuing to pay attention to anything Qingchuan Xiang said.

"Oh well……?"

Seeing Qingchuan Xiang turning back, Xiangzi, who was reading a book a second ago, quietly turned his gaze to Xiang.

Seems to be somewhat effective?

The decisive and clear communication between Xiangzi and Qingchuan Xiang just now was a way of dealing with Xiang after Xiang learned about Xiang's "bad habits" from Xiang's ex-girlfriend, Qi Jin.

After discovering the keyboard sent to the bookstore yesterday, Xiangzi immediately thought that this was Xiang using her as a keyboard player to package it as bait to lure him.

If Xiangzi continued to talk at length with Qingchuan Xiang, he was only worried that he would really be convinced that the keyboard was really just left there by Xiang due to various coincidences, and then he probably wanted Xiang to borrow the keyboard to practice with him without worry...

You can't be easily seduced by Qingchuan Xiang!

Xiangzi discovered something: he always seemed too passive in front of Qingchuan Xiang. He always confronted Xiang when Xiang was fully prepared, or he was simply confused by Qingchuan Xiang's lewd music.

I must explain things clearly to Qingchuan Xiang slowly. Of course, I am willing to accept Xiang's help, but the premise is that it cannot be an unconditional unilateral gift!

Chapter 235: The Mysterious Xiaoxiang

Shouldn’t Kai Xin Xiangzi have pursued the matter further?

Qingchuan Xiang put her bag away and subconsciously took out her water bottle - today it was a new cup with a straw, and she sipped the boiled water in it bit by bit.

Perhaps because Xiangzi's father's affairs were easier to discover and more likely to make Xiangzi unhappy, Qingchuan Xiang put most of his energy into covering up this matter, and ended up forgetting about the small matter of the keyboard.

However, what surprised Qingchuan Xiang was that Xiangzi did not directly and firmly state that he would not use Qingchuan Xiang's keyboard. If it were Xiangzi from the rainy day at the beginning, he would probably have "reacted" and said something like "I don't need it".

Should we say Xiangzi has become a little softer, or is he simply a little more tolerant of himself?

Suddenly I wanted to turn around and take another look at Xiangzi's expression, but I was sitting in the front and would be discovered immediately.

This little episode made Qingchuan Xiang reflect on whether he had been doing too many things recently, which led to such unnecessary omissions.

Especially yesterday, he forced Xiaomu to spend his after-school time with Ms. Mori... Ms. Mori agreed and didn't even ask Qingchuan Xiang more questions to find out what he was planning to do with Xiaomu.

Last night, Ms. Mori agreed readily, which made Xiao Mu's expression more lively. She never expected that her mother would agree to Qingchuan Xiang's seemingly rude request so easily.

In short, now after school, I will start running around with a new little tail.

Well, this won't cause more disruption to my schedule. After all, I can take Xiaomu with me no matter what I do.

The purpose of last night was to let Xiaomu get some time to rest from her busy schedule. Qingchuan Xiang planned to take Xiaomu with her. If Xiaomu had any ideas about where to go, he would take her there. If she had no ideas, he would just take Xiaomu around.

You can read in the library, have a drink at VA-11, or ask Miao Meng about the makeup that suits Xiao Mu, do Xiao Mu's makeup yourself, or take Mu to Sumimi for a walk. There are so many things you can do.

But then again, if we practice with RiNG's band today, would it be convenient to bring Xiaomu with us?

Qingchuan Xiang himself certainly didn't care, but he also had to consider whether it would be awkward for everyone in the old band to meet each other. At the beginning, Mu directly said, "I never felt happy to form a band."... It would feel very strange to bring little Mu to the new band.

Even if we don't consider this, during practice, are we just going to leave Xiao Mu sitting aside and watching everyone practice?

Otherwise, give Ms. Kiyokawa Shu a call and ask her directly if she is interested in taking Xiaomu for a walk?

Given Ms. Shu's personality, Qingchuan Xiang had no doubt that she would excitedly agree to the marriage as long as she was free, and then give Xiaomu a bunch of gifts and other things when they first met, taking care of her like her own daughter.

I'm sure Xiao Mu's mother will also like this arrangement...

Let’s make a phone call and ask now. It will be easier to make subsequent arrangements if we get clarification on this matter early.

Seeing Qingchuan Xiang, who had just sat back in his seat and hadn't even finished a bottle of water, get up and go out, Xiangzi followed him for a moment with some confusion, but just thought that Qingchuan Xiang was going to the bathroom or something, so he didn't think much about it.

………………

"Wow! What's the name of this song, Aine? You play it beautifully!"

"Hum~"

In the classroom of Class A, just as Qingchuan Xiang thought after teaching Aiyin to practice, Aiyin came to school early this morning. Before the morning self-study started, most of the classmates were chatting. There was no need to worry about disturbing others, and there was enough audience base. It was a great opportunity to play guitar to show off!

Aiyin, who still understood the principle of "too much is as bad as too little", started chatting with the Red and Green Light trio in her class, with whom she had a good relationship. After the topic of the band came up, she excitedly took out her guitar and showed off the Kasuga Shadow that she had just practiced last night.

Aiyin, who received everyone's praise and all eyes, straightened her chest proudly. This is it, this is what she wanted!

Hey hey hey...

After giggling for a while, Aine looked at the spot in front of her seat again. It seemed that Xiaodeng went to the astronomy room as soon as she arrived at school today. It was a pity that Xiaodeng didn't see her.

No matter what you think, you can postpone appreciating Xiao Deng's surprised look until the practice time after school. The long wait will surely make you feel more excited and satisfied!
