Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Agent, can I really eat donuts?"

With this trend, if I refuse, I will definitely be resentful for the whole afternoon, and I'm afraid it won't stop until the evening!

Help, Chuhua! Convince Mana!

The agent had no choice but to look for help at Chu Hua, who seemed much more mature, but Chu Hua inadvertently looked away and closed his eyes.

……

You nasty smart kid, you are plotting against me!

Chapter 315 Idols and Agents

Flour, sugar, milk and eggs are mixed together to form the dough. Cream or butter is added to increase the richness of the milky flavor and the softness of the taste. After being fried into shape, it is poured with brightly colored icing jam and finally sprinkled with a handful of chocolate and cookie crumbs... A calorie bomb that looks extremely sweet is freshly baked.

Wow, you don’t even need to see with your eyes or taste with your mouth. Just the fragrant aroma and sweet appearance will make every sweet lover eager to try it. At the same time, there is no doubt that it is absolutely a forbidden product for idols and other people who need to control their body shape.

And a whole bag is filled with these donuts.

The agent lady was already sweating profusely.

Obviously... it was through repeated persuasion over the years that I finally managed to control Mana's second stomach that was full of desserts, but today I was caught off guard.

My hands trembled, my heart ached. I no longer dared to watch Mana open her adorable little mouth and devour a donut the size of her face like a gourmet.

The agent was filled with regret. She should have stopped it, even at the risk of losing some credibility in front of Qingchuan Xiang, who was urgently ordered to be recruited by his superiors.

But it's too late now, it's over!

In just a few minutes, the agent's lady had skimmed over various scenes, such as Mana exclaiming that she had gained ten pounds, the news that her new MV image was disqualified as an idol, the fans' outrage, the boss's blame, the salary cut, and finally, she and Mana were kicked out of the house and left on the streets.

"Hmm..." After Mana easily ate the first donut, she looked at the delicious food in the bag that was still steaming with fragrance. Her eyes were full of reluctance, as if she was tempted like her nose and couldn't move her hands away. But in the end, she hardened her heart, suddenly turned her hand away, and raised it in front of Qingchuan Xiang who was standing beside her.

"I can't eat anymore! One donut is enough!"

!

"M-Mana-chan..."

"Eh? Agent, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?!"

"Mana-chan has grown up...! She even managed to resist the temptation of the donuts. Now she doesn't have to be kicked out!"

"What the hell is going on here..."

After Qingchuan Xiang took the bag of donuts handed to him by Mana, he looked at the agent's overly excited reaction and blinked.

For a moment, I even felt that I might have gone a little too far.

He exchanged a glance with Chu Hua, who was also sitting aside and watching all this with a smile. Chu Hua immediately gave him a look of understanding.

Don't worry, it happens all the time.

I see. It seems like the daily mental state of both idols and agents isn't very optimistic either.

"Actually, I want to eat a few more..." Although she managed to break free from the aroma by forcefully throwing the donuts to Kiyokawa Xiang, Mana still stole glances over here from time to time. "But I haven't been exercising enough lately, and I have to rehearse a new song today. Just like my agent said! I have to control myself!"

Eat after practicing the new song (very quietly).

"Even after finishing the recent arrangements, you can't eat too much!" The female agent jumped up instantly like a frightened bird.

"Uh-huh——"

"Is this donut so delicious?" Qingchuan Xiang curiously opened the paper bag and took a look inside. The appearance and aroma alone were indeed outstanding, and the ingredients were luxurious. The fragrance was even more fragrant with the rising heat.

"It tastes really good." Chu Hua responded appropriately, reaching out and taking out a relatively small donut. "Although it's sweet, it's not cloying. But you have to eat it while it's hot."

Chu Hua raised her free hand to push her bangs and side hair behind her ear, allowing her to savor the donuts in small bites. She looked elegant and reserved, not quite like a teenage idol, but more like a well-educated young lady. It was obvious she'd practiced this routine more than once or twice.

Is Chuhua praising it so much?

"Then I'll have to try it later. For now, let me finish my lunch first..."

Putting the bag aside, Qingchuan Xiang found a bowl of noodle soup on the table in front of her. As always, her preference for soup made her choose this, and the reason for choosing noodles was completely random.

"Then I'm afraid most of those donuts will be eaten by the agent."

Chu Hua swallowed the sweets in his mouth before speaking. The smile on his face seemed to become even more intense because of the sweet chocolate and candy. "Mana and I have to control our diet, and Xiao Xiang just had a full stomach, so he probably can't eat much."

"..."

"Why are you staring at me, Miss Agent..." Mana was still looking at the paper bag when a sharp gaze that was hard to ignore pierced her.

"I'm wondering why a certain little cutie bought so many donuts." The agent was also smiling, but her smile was not sweet at all. It was filled with the hard work and money that adults secretly put in.

"I just wanted Xiaoxiang to try more... Aren't the donuts delicious...? Hehe~"

The aura emanating from the evil adult made Mana shrink her neck in fear. The more she explained, the angrier her agent seemed to become. In the end, she had no choice but to put on a cute little pose to try to get away with it.

"Sister, do you want to eat?"

In the critical moment, the person who came to help was Qingchuan Xiang, the real culprit!

Putting down the chopsticks from the bowl, Qingchuan Xiang carefully picked up a donut with her delicate little hands, preventing the dessert from falling all over the place, and placed it in front of the agent. Her endearing tone, her twinkling blue eyes, and her perfect smile, which was no less perfect than Chuhua's, calmed the agent down for a moment.

Wait, don't be fooled again! This kid is the one who caused this situation!

"Ugh……"

The agent looked at the donut in front of her with a troubled look, shook it gently and urged it to go around, but finally had no choice but to open her mouth and take a bite, and in the process, she also ate a little of her adult dignity.

Was it the right plan to bring this kid in? It felt completely manipulated.

But no matter what, it is still worth enjoying the dessert feeding of the high school girl. The agent chose to finish the donut that Xiaoxiang brought to his mouth first...

"hey-hey."

"What are you laughing at! Just when I was about to let it go, you're getting ahead of me again!"

"I was wrong, wrong... Hey..."

"You are not allowed to be the first to choose dinner tonight, Mana!"

"why is it like this--"

Forget about Xiaoxiang, but your life and death are in the hands of my agent!

Qingchuan Xiang and Chuhua looked at the two of them staring at each other childishly. One chose to eat, and the other chose to keep smiling.

I confirmed in my mind again that the idol and the agent did not seem to be in a good mental state.

Chapter 316 Working Hours

The donuts do taste good.

After finishing her lunch, Qingchuan Xiang couldn't wait to try it before the heat had completely dissipated. The moment she took a sip, Xiang couldn't help but frown. The sudden sweetness, especially after a bowl of clear soup noodles, was a bit too much. But the sweetness soon turned into a pleasant sensation, prompting a frenzy of insulin and dopamine secretion in her body.

It’s a pity that I can’t eat more.

It’s not that Qingchuan Xiang has concerns about her figure, it’s simply that if she eats too much dessert, no matter how exquisitely the sweetness is controlled, she will still feel sick of it. If she continues to force it into her mouth, the dopamine that her body should secrete will not be happy.

This problem is not unique to desserts. Large amounts of meat, too much thick soup, and incorrect amounts of salt... Yes, even if it is soup, continuous and monotonous intake will make Qingchuan Xiang feel dry in the mouth. This is why even when ordering drinks, she always switches between different types and pours them into her mouth.

"I'm going to 'poison' other little stars..."

It seems that the agent has been a little too unrestrained, and she doesn't even try to hide her dark thoughts. I hope the agents of other young idols can stop the spread of the dark forces. Qingchuan Xiang will pray for them for a second. This will probably make her feel a little more at ease as she was the one who released this darkness and evil.

What this probably means is not that Qingchuan Xiang may not be able to feel at ease with this behavior, but that Xiao Xiang probably does not really feel guilty about it.

Isn't it a good thing to share such a delicious dessert with everyone? Qingchuan Xiang said happily, and Mana expressed her full approval. The manager's laughter became more and more uncontrollable, and she couldn't wait to "share the happiness".

Chu Hua was surprised to see Qingchuan Xiang's overly humorous performance, trying to match it with the cold little girl he remembered from childhood. Although he had already seen that Xiao Xiang had changed a lot when they last met, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw how Qingchuan Xiang could so quickly integrate into the mental state of the agent lady and Mana.

"At least... don't just feed those few people..." Chu Hua helplessly tried to put the brakes on the situation that was getting out of control. "Give it to a few more people. If each person only eats one, it should be fine."

"Ah, okay."

Chu Hua's mature, adult demeanor awakened a little of the agent's remaining dignity and conscience. He coughed hastily, trying to maintain his image in front of Xiao Xiang, whom he had only met a few times. However, Chu Hua's words revealed some new information.

"So, my sister has done this before." Qingchuan Xiang shook the bag in her hand. "It sounds like she's a repeat offender. And she even picked out a few colleagues to feed them... Is this also a sign that colleagues are enemies? An office fight between idols?"

It's quite sweet, this struggle.

The dining place was not far from the agency. After going upstairs, the agent took the paper bag of donuts and disappeared, leaving only a message saying that the rehearsal room for today had been booked for them and they could go in directly.

Looking at the agent's hurried appearance, Qingchuan Xiang guessed from the most "malicious" perspective that the agent probably wanted to take advantage of the time when the donuts were still hot and most tempting to attract others to eat them more easily.

Mana also kept watching the agent running away, but the target she was staring at was the paper bag, and she almost shed tears of sadness because she couldn't see it.

"Then let's go practice. We've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Chuhua only looked a little excited and expectant at this time. It seemed that she had been waiting for this day to practice together for a long time, which made Mana feel ashamed.

All her excitement was spent on just being able to eat donuts...

Before entering the practice room, Qingchuan Xiang and Mana went to the bathroom to wash the oil stains from the donuts on their hands. Next to the bathroom was the lounge where Qingchuan Xiang had stayed the last time he came. Chuhua stood at the door of the lounge, waiting for the two to wash their hands while also looking at the door.

We can't let Qingchuan Xiang sneak in to get drinks like pineapple beer. The lesson from last time is definitely very impressive.

"The plan we finalized last time was to use a similar acting method..." Chu Hua took out the laptop prepared in the practice room, "But from what I heard from the agent and the agency, they want us to record the song first, and the music video can be delayed for a while."

"It's just to whet the fans' appetite—" Mana added with a chuckle, "Sumimi has released a few songs this way before, but it really works."

"That doesn't sound like it'll take too much effort today."

No wonder it only takes one afternoon.

"Well, let's get familiar with the routine and practice in the rehearsal room today. Of course, if we progress quickly, there's a vacant recording studio we can use directly." Chu Hua smiled. "The deadline is very generous, and this is an 'easy job' we've never had before."

“I have to thank Xiaoxiang for this.”

"You're welcome." Qingchuan Xiang was of course happy not to have to work so hard. "I was worried about making you work overtime, but it turns out it's just a disguised rest time."

"That's right! I don't even have to go to school! And I can see Xiao Xiang again!"

"Mana, studies are still very important." Chuhua reminded Mana who was cheering with her arms raised.

"Huh! Chuhua's grades aren't that great either. I still remember the last time you almost couldn't come to the office because of make-up classes and exams."

"..."

"Huh?" This surprised Qingchuan Xiang. "I thought Chuhua was the all-rounder. After all, he's so self-disciplined and hardworking. He doesn't look like someone who would be bad at studying, right?"

"Compared to Xiaoxiang, I can't claim to be all-round..." Chuhua smiled awkwardly, "Because I'm really busy with all kinds of things. Although I try to make the best use of every moment, I do spend a little less time on studying."

"By the way, which school do Mana and Hatsuka attend?"

Mana gave the name of an ordinary school, while Chuhua said a name that Kiyokawa Shoya was quite familiar with, Hanasakigawa.

Hanasakigawa is actually quite strong, but because of its somewhat... loose academic style and various rumors, the reputation of this school is very delicate. In short, the academic pressure is indeed much greater than that of Kohaneka.

At least asking for leave should be much simpler and easier than Qingchuan Xiang.

Chapter 317 Mini Game

"I'm kind of glad I had donuts today."

After a complete song practice, Qingchuan Xiang suddenly said this sentence without any context, which immediately attracted the attention of Chuhua and Mana.

"Why do you say that?"

"The style of this song is quite donut-like." Qingchuan Xiang licked his lips, as if the taste of the donuts he had eaten a few hours ago was still lingering, "It seems that the songs of girl idols are almost all of this type?

"I feel like after eating the donuts, my mouth feels more comfortable and fluent when singing this sweet, youthful song."

"......!" Mana was startled after hearing what Qingchuan Xiang said, and then fell into a period of thought. A gleam of wisdom gathered in her eyes, "Chuhua, I think I found a new way to persuade the agent to buy us donuts!"

"I bought donuts for you, not for us... I'm not that greedy." Chuhua said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as she pushed Mana back as she excitedly approached him. "But for me, if I can do better by eating something before practice, that's not bad either."

That way, I could feel more relaxed following Xiangzi and Xiaoxiang's anxious footsteps.

"I'm not kidding, our progress today is indeed very smooth, isn't it?"

Unlike their slow, on-again, off-again progress in the band, Kiyokawa So and Hatsukawa Mana's progress in practicing songs together was incredibly rapid. While Sumi is a girl idol group that only recently debuted and quickly gained popularity, they didn't rely solely on their looks to achieve their current status. Even Mana, who always seemed to be reaching for a donut and had a slightly shaky feel, never truly slacked off on any practice time.

And Qingchuan Xiang naturally would not drag the two of them down. This kind of skill that can be mastered through repeated practice is quite easy for her. Her unique and clear voice is particularly touching when she expresses the ignorant and naive love in the song, but precisely because of the lack of understanding, the straightforward love... It is like catkins floating in the wind, just like flying snow, but without the coldness, falling into people's hearts.

"Rather than saying it's the donuts' credit, it's more like Xiaoxiang herself is really amazing."

Chu Hua praised directly, recalling the first time he practiced singing the entire song, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role image designed in the song. Her outstanding singing skills had a subtle sense of immaturity, and she perfectly portrayed a little girl who didn't understand emotions.

"Yeah! Maybe we can actually finish recording the song today!"
