Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Hopeless.

Looking at Lixi who had fallen silent, Qingchuan Xiang had no intention of winning the argument. Instead, he realized that the sense of inferiority he had experienced from Lixi at the beginning was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Even Qingchuan Xiang, looking at Li Xi's terrible expression, could tell that what Li Xi was thinking was not healthy or positive.

"Lixi, you don't want me to spread what you just said, right? Then promise me one thing."

Without waiting for Li Xi to respond, Qingchuan Xiang continued to speak completely on his own.

"Come to my house for dinner today. I think your problem isn't just lack of sleep. I'm worried you'll collapse if this continues."

Given Li Xi's current condition, Qingchuan Xiang was worried that she wouldn't listen no matter what he said. If he just let her go back like this, who knows what might happen. It would be better to just take her back.

Qingchuan Xiang also realized that he was absolutely not suitable to be the person who persuaded Li Xi, because he himself was Li Xi's imaginary "enemy", and his words could at any time become the fuel depot that ignited the despicable feeling that had never been relieved in Li Xi's heart.

Chapter 246 The pressure is on

Why did I agree to go to Qingchuan Xiang's house for dinner...

When Lixi came back to her senses from her previous confused state, she and Qingchuan Xiang had already arrived downstairs of her house.

What was strange was that when Li Xi tried to recall what had happened before, all he could remember was Qingchuan Xiang's pair of extremely blue and even faintly charming eyes. After that, he seemed to have been inexplicably led by Qingchuan Xiang.

I took out my cell phone and found in the call log that I had called my parents, but when did it happen?

Li Xi began to seriously think about the possibility that Qingchuan Xiang possessed some kind of witchcraft, or she was simply a fairy in human form who had infiltrated human society. This would seem to explain why Qingchuan Xiang had such strong innate abilities?

No, no, no, it can't be that fantastical, right? This is modern society. When monsters come, there have to be rules. They don't just kidnap people and run away.

But the fact is that I seem to be about to be abducted to someone else's "nest".

Just as Li Xi was daydreaming, she was unknowingly taken upstairs by the elevator from downstairs.

"Lixi? We're here."

After walking out of the elevator, I found that Li Xi was standing inside the elevator with his hand on his chin and an inexplicably solemn expression. Qingchuan Xiang turned around and reminded him.

"Oh, here we come."

"What are you thinking about?" Qingchuan Xiang was quite curious about what Li Xi was feeling now after the conflict they had before.

Would it be awkward? After all, they'd just had a fight, though not a full-blown one, and then they were going to each other's house for dinner. In order to prevent Li Xi from rejecting him, Qingchuan Xiang had tried his best, using a coquettish tone and various persuasions, but Li Xi seemed to be surprisingly not resisting and was inexplicably brought here.

"Nothing." Li Xi walked out of the elevator with a serious expression on his face.

"Tell me about it. I thought you'd be a little more open with me after you accidentally let the cat out of the bag earlier."

"Tsk, not really."

Li Xi felt a headache when Qingchuan Xiang mentioned this matter, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the corners of his eyes. Even in the past few days, when he saw the band's bumpy future, he had never felt so helpless.

What can I do? I can't blame anyone for letting something slip. Maybe I've been staying up too late and my mental state has declined? But I clearly got enough sleep during class.

Looking at Qingchuan Xiang's eyes that were flashing at him, Li Xi subconsciously avoided her gaze because of these eyes. When he realized that this seemed a little guilty, he straightened his chest and walked forward, passing Xiang so that he could not see her eyes.

In fact, Li Xi's original view of Qingchuan Xiang was very strange. Xiang was one of the sources that made him feel inferior. Li Xi had an unreasonable hostility towards her, but he also subconsciously developed a sense of trust in her. The two ideas of leaving and staying made Li Xi always unsure of how to choose to deal with Qingchuan Xiang's attitude.

So now Li Xi's treatment of Qingchuan Xiang has always been the cold treatment. In the band, she basically never makes mistakes, so he lets her do whatever she wants. Just like today when Xiang said that she would not come to practice tomorrow, Li Xi's performance can be said to be quite tolerant.

But now... Li Xi had exposed his own despicable feelings, right in front of him. Feeling so ashamed and helpless, it was difficult for him to maintain his previous indifferent attitude.

Although Li Xi seems to be sober now, in fact, when facing Qingchuan Xiang, his thoughts are still a mess and he doesn't know what to do. This is also one of the reasons why he was led all the way here so easily.

"You are walking in front of me. Do you know which door is my house?" Qingchuan Xiang looked at Li Xi who was running in front of him.

"Then you should hurry up."

"Come on, come on."

After opening the door and walking in, it seemed that Qingchuan Xiang's sister and mother had not returned yet.

"My sister is working at the bookstore and she probably won't be home for dinner. Mom will probably be back very late too, right?"

Ms. Shu should be taking Xiao Mu with her now. Although I don't know what they are going to do, Qingchuan Xiang guesses that his mother will like Xiao Mu very much. There is a high probability that her excitement will not subside for a while, and she will play outside for a long time.

"Lixi, you can put your things anywhere, anywhere, in the living room or directly in my room, there is a nameplate on the door of the room." Qingchuan Xiang threw his schoolbag on the sofa, turned around and walked directly to the dining room, opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables were left at home,

"Is there anything you want to eat? Although I can only make soup, I can learn it by watching videos on the spot."

"Whatever."

"Then I will really do whatever I want." Li Xi probably really meant it, and Qingchuan Xiang took out the ingredients he wanted to eat with confidence.

Li Xi didn't put down the bag in a hurry, but stood aside and watched Qingchuan Xiang who was preparing for a while. After putting the ingredients in the kitchen, he took the apron and put it on himself. It looked like he was really doing it.

"I'm here to help."

"Lixi is a guest, just take a rest and wait."

Li Xi looked at Qingchuan Xiang who was skilled in the movements, put his bag on the dining chair, and walked into the kitchen without saying anything, with his arms crossed and staring at Xiang without saying a word.

To some extent, her self-requirements were no less than Xiangzi's. Seeing Lixi like this, Qingchuan Xiang knew that if she didn't give her something to do, she might not be able to enjoy her meal.

"Then... help with the dishes?"

"it is good."

There really is an invisible pressure when I'm with Lixi.

Qingchuan Xiang often heard Aine say this before, and Xiao Deng would nod weakly in agreement, but Xiang didn't feel anything. But today, perhaps because of the aftereffects of the previous "burning", it seemed that Riki was even more competitive with him?

Now Qingchuan Xiang didn't dare to speak casually, especially words of comfort, which would definitely be regarded as a provocation by Li Xi.

Although Xiang still looks the same as always, in fact, she has run out of ideas. Under the huge debuff of not knowing people's hearts, she has to be careful about what not to say.

The goal now is to help Li Xi relieve her stress bit by bit. If Li Xi has any ideas, just follow her...

"I'm done washing." Li Xi put the washed vegetables aside, but did not leave. Instead, he stared at Qingchuan Xiang again.

Such a piercing look... Li Xi's slanted eyes make her look fierce whenever she looks at something intently.

Should I let Li Xi beat me up directly? That would be the quickest way to vent my anger.

Qingchuan Xiang began to think about this seriously.

Chapter 247 The road is winding

“What are you going to cook?”

Li Xi didn't force Qingchuan Xiang to do something, but he just stood a little further away to ensure that he wouldn't disturb her cooking. However, he was still watching her movements and had no intention of leaving.

"Does Li Xi want to learn how to cook?" Qingchuan Xiang asked curiously. It couldn't be that Li Xi really wanted to develop in the direction of omnipotence, thinking that there must be a skill that could surpass Xiangzi or Xiang, right?

"At least you have to be able to cook edible food." Li Xi said lightly.

This is a very low requirement.

If it were just a matter of wanting to achieve this, it couldn't be simpler. It seemed Li Xi was only more obsessed with certain areas. Qingchuan Xiang continued to slowly explore Li Xi's thoughts and information.

"I plan to make two dishes, one is mushy cabbage and the other is fish and mutton soup."

Lixi had already washed the cabbage, Qingchuanxiang had just prepared the fish, and some other small ingredients had been prepared long ago. The mutton soup was already refrigerated. After all, making mutton soup fresh would take at least an hour. Seeing Lixi's current state, Qingchuanxiang thought that giving her something to eat early would help ease her mood.

With the ready-made mutton soup, it is much easier to prepare the fish. Fry the fish after removing the internal organs and main bones, put it into the casserole that has been filled with mutton soup and boiled. The next step is to simmer it over high heat for a while.

The mashed cabbage is just a simple version. In addition to the chopped cabbage, just make a portion of egg crisps. Cooking them together will make it taste good. You can also add vegetables such as ham according to your preference.

"Hmm, let's see how it tastes."

For Qingchuan Xiang, making soup is also a matter of preparing drinks, so naturally he has considerable confidence and anticipates the reactions of the guests.

"Don't you have to wait for your family?"

"Just wait for them to come back and heat it up. At worst, I can make a new one." Qingchuan Xiang brought two small bowls and a soup spoon, and helped Li Xi scoop a bowl of each soup.

It smells so good... Is this guy really so good at cooking?

Li Xi was already tempted by the aroma of the food and his stomach growled twice.

The milky white fish and mutton soup was delicious not only in smell but also in color. Another bowl of mashed cabbage garnished with egg custard was also very appetizing.

"I'm gonna start now."

Li Xi tasted the dishes and soup in the two bowls respectively, while Qingchuan Xiang secretly observed Li Xi's expression.

Li Xi had no intention of expressing his opinion while eating, but after taking the first bite, the simple and strong sense of happiness brought by the warm food entering his stomach softened Li Xi's eyes, and he ate the next few bites much faster.

Looks like a success?

Qingchuan Xiang felt like he was trying to catch a Pokémon, except that the Poké Ball had become a dish. The scene of watching the ball shake to judge whether he could catch it successfully turned into watching the soup in the bowl become less and less.

Finally, Lixi finished both small bowls of soup, which was a very good sign!

"Delicious..." Lixi's face turned a little red after she drank the hot soup, making her look softer, as if she was reluctantly admitting that the dishes made by Qingchuan Xiang were indeed very good.

"Great!" Qingchuan Xiang, who had been leaning on the edge of the dining table, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at Li Xi with a strong sense of stealth, immediately jumped up and cheered, "You must be grateful! Li Xi, you can't be angry anymore."

"If you have such plans, don't say it out loud!"

"Huhu~ This is an open conspiracy." Qingchuan Xiang happily took his own bowl and chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Li Xi looked at himself and found that his originally somewhat indignant mood had indeed eased a lot. The hot soup made by Qingchuan Xiang tasted much better than the energy bars he ate to replenish his energy. His tongue, which had been made a little dull by himself, came back to life as if a long drought had finally come to life.

Looking at Qingchuan Xiang again, this "genius" whom he had never known how to get along with, Li Xi lowered his head and looked at the empty bowl. He seemed to have the desire to spit out some bitterness, and spit out all the boredom, boredom, and awkwardness in his heart into the bowl to fill it up.

"Don't worry about me. No matter how uncomfortable I am, it's my own business."

Li Xi always forced himself to run, running on a straight road that seemed to have no end. He could not see where the end of the road was, but he could see a figure in front of him, a figure that seemed to be forever out of reach.

Whether it is her sister Maki, Toyokawa Shoko, or Kiyokawa Xiang.

The person running ahead doesn't need to look back to see the expression of the person lagging behind. Rather, when the person far ahead looks back at the person behind, no matter how well-intentioned, the person behind will always see it as a bit of a provocation.

"Just do your own thing, that's all..."

Li Xi is very strong-willed and even has the habit of subconsciously applying his high standards for himself to others. Therefore, when Qingchuan Xiang cares about Li Xi, what ignites Li Xi's self-reliance mentality is not just his unaccustomed desire to be taken care of, but also another deeper reason.

I am running forward all the time, and you should also move forward instead of being "dragged down" by me.

In essence, it is still the root of the feeling of inferiority, which is always firmly rooted in Li Xi's heart.

Surprisingly, there weren't many words she could say. Li Xi still stared at the empty bowl. Saying those two sentences seemed to have drained her of all her energy. The anguish hidden in those two short sentences was enough to fill the two small bowls.

...No answer was heard.

Li Xi lowered her head and tried to listen carefully, but the little strength she had gained from drinking the soup was used up again because of her confession. Her head was buzzing and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

Haha, it seems that even Xiang doesn't know how to respond to herself. Li Xi knows that she is a person who doesn't listen to advice. She can't let herself go, so how can others interfere?

Let’s end this topic here. There’s no point in staying here to eat. It’s time to go.

I hope it won't affect the band...

"Wow."

There was a sound of soup being scooped up and poured into the bowl.

The bowl in front of Lixi was filled with the fragrant fish and mutton soup. In the real world, the soup of tangible things is more real than the boredom of intangible things.

Li Xi raised his head in a daze, and Qingchuan Xiang was holding a soup spoon with a surprisingly calm look in his eyes.

"If that's what you want, then of course I have no objection." Qingchuan Xiang said with a gentle smile, "But you should be grateful. You've already drunk two bowls of my soup. There's no reason for you to just run away like that.

"Even customers who come to the bar to complain to the bartender are always tricked into having a drink before leaving."

Qingchuan Xiang is not the kind of guy who is happy to just run in a straight line all the time, just like when you pour water on the ground, it will never flow into a long, thin straight line.

Chapter 248 A flash of inspiration

"Are you treating soup as a drink? How can you be so fanatical..."

When Li Xi doesn't know what to say, he will subconsciously say such unpleasant words.

And it was the same this time. After I said it, I immediately felt a little regretful.

However, Li Xi's words seemed to be a compliment to Qingchuan Xiang. Instead of being angry or offended, Xiao Xiang happily scooped herself a full bowl of soup.

"Huhu, for me, mixing drinks is the most wonderful thing that makes the little nerves in my brain jump with joy. It is the light of my life and the fire of my desire~"

Qingchuan Xiang held the bowl and the spoon of hot soup in front of him, and watched the milky white, tempting soup cascade down into the bowl, just like pouring red wine into a goblet.

When he said the last sentence, Qingchuan Xiang was in high spirits and started singing. His cold voice was full of passion, and just a few words could express his feelings in a gentle and moving way.

"Lixi must have something he's particularly passionate about, right? Like playing drums."

"Love..."
