Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Xiangzi's cold speech did not leave Qingchuan Xiang any room for quibbling, and Xiang would not be so blind as to make any further additions at this time.

"Sorry……"

In short, be submissive first.

However, this apology became a fuse, completely tearing apart Xiangzi's apparent calmness.

"So you also know that what you did is going to make me angry?"

The tone of rhetorical questioning always makes people feel more uneasy than a simple scolding. Xiangzi was trembling all over, trying hard not to lose control, his eyes fixed on Qingchuan Xiang in front of him.

Qingchuan Xiang lowered her head at this time, looking as if she was really reflecting on herself, but Xiangzi even doubted whether she really knew why she was angry.

But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter anymore, or rather, Xiangzi intends to make it unimportant.

"Qingchuan Xiang, I will quit my job here. Thank you very much for your care during this time. I will slowly repay you for all the money and other benefits I have received from you."

Without giving Qingchuan Xiang more time to think, Xiangzi said something directly that almost meant a breakup. It was like a heavy hammer hitting Qingchuan Xiang's temple, making a buzzing sound.

"Wait...! But, I... I don't understand."

Qingchuan Xiang felt so confused and panicked for the first time. She wanted to grab Xiangzi's arm, but after noticing Xiangzi's eyes, she let go of her hands weakly.

Qingchuan Xiang's usual rationality and habits made him always accept the rejection calmly and not make a fuss about it when he was clearly rejected. But this time when he put his hands down, Xiang felt particularly... sad.

"I promise you I won't do these things behind your back anymore, so..."

"Before this, you knew I didn't want you to do this behind my back, but you did it anyway," Xiangzi questioned. "Do you think I can still trust your promise?"

"That is……"

"That's because there aren't clear constraints, so you think you can find loopholes." Xiangzi said Xiang's thoughts in advance, "You always do this."

In a sense, lack of emotion can also be said to be difficult to be constrained by the recognized morality of society, and Qingchuan Xiang has indeed always been like this. Just like another example, if Xiangzi did not clearly list the prohibited behaviors, would Qingchuan Xiang really be able to recognize whether he should do some of his own behaviors?

"So, it turns out that it was my actions that destroyed Xiangzi's self-esteem..." Qingchuan Xiang confirmed carefully, but unexpectedly, Xiangzi showed a strange expression as if relieved, as if to say that it was as I expected.

Xiangzi shook his head.

"It's not because of my pitiful self-esteem, at least it only accounts for a small part of the reason." Xiangzi turned around and Qingchuan Xiang could not see her expression.

"Have you ever thought, Xiang, that I could have done all the things you did? But you, on your own, wiped out all the possibilities of my own progress, using your own strength to force me forward!"

Xiangzi's tone finally became angry, but she turned her back and refused to let Qingchuan see her expression.

"Your supposed concern only threw me into a cradle! The flow you pursued, in fact, made me stagnant! No, it's better to say—

"Xiang, you are the biggest dead water..."

Chapter 336 Symptoms of Long-term Preparation

Xiangzi has already left.

Qingchuan Xiang watched Xiangzi turn the door lock button, then press the door handle and pull the door to leave. He also politely closed the door gently. Throughout the whole process, Xiangzi's head deliberately kept looking forward, without turning back even a little.

A few seconds later, as if waking up from a dream, Qingchuan Xiang blinked suddenly, recovered from the last words left by Xiangzi that had shocked him greatly, and realized the fact that Xiangzi had left.

Qingchuan Xiang walked to the door, his palm already pressing on the doorknob, but the door didn't open for a long time. After a few seconds, he opened it and saw customers waiting for their drinks to be ordered. There were also staff members who were busy with their work but also turned around curiously to look at their young manager.

Xiangzi had already walked out of the store.

Running so fast. Qingchuan Xiang curled his lips and sat down on his own small stool behind the bar, hiding his whole body behind the bar.

"Can you pour me a glass of water?" Qingchuan Xiang asked the clerk beside him, "I'm a little thirsty now."

The clerk nodded and poured a glass of purified water for Qingchuan Xiang with quick movements, but when he handed it to him, he couldn't help showing a worried expression.

"Um, manager, are you okay?"

"Huh? It's nothing, I'm just a little thirsty, that's all. It's not like you haven't seen me like this before."

"No..." The clerk looked at Qingchuan Xiang, then at the door - the direction the girl who had just looked for the manager left. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Manager, you don't look too well right now. You're sweating a lot. Did you have a conflict with your friend?"

sweat?

Qingchuan Xiang first drank a sip of water to relieve her increasingly strong thirst. She had been feeling extremely thirsty since the beginning, as if the water in her body was being lost madly. After hearing the clerk's words, Qingchuan Xiang looked down at herself and found that she had been sweating profusely without knowing when.

Considering her physique, such a large amount of water discharge would probably only take a few seconds.

"It's nothing... just a little sweat." Qingchuan Xiang drank the rest of the water in the cup in one gulp, and even tried to lick the remaining water on the wall of the cup. Seeing this, the clerk quickly took a new, larger cup and filled it with water for her.

"Thank you."

"So, who was that girl just now?"

"You should have seen him before. He's an employee of the bookstore next door."

"That was not what I meant……"

Although this clerk was only a part-time employee, she had certainly seen the very charming woman from the shop next door a few times. What really puzzled her was that this woman, who should have been close to the young store manager, had suddenly barged into the shop with a cold face, dragged the manager into the staff room without explanation, and then hurriedly left...

And after that, the store manager looked like something was not right.

Although he wanted to ask again, the clerk found that Qingchuan Xiang seemed to have not stopped sweating yet, and the thickened clothes on his body even began to show signs of being wet.

"Young store manager, let me wipe the sweat off your face first. You'll catch a cold if you keep doing this."

"..."

"Store manager?"

Qingchuan Xiang looked like he was drunk and lay down on the table. He wanted to continue drinking the water in the cup in this position, but he accidentally spilled a lot of water, which wet his chin and collar.

The customers' casual discussions in the store, the low hum of various machines, the clerk's anxious inquiries... and it seemed as if I had gone back to a few minutes ago, Xiangzi's last words were replayed over and over again. After the last word was read, it rewound to the first word, and before it even finished, there was another Xiangzi shouting new words in my ear.

These sounds, real or fake, were all crushed and blended together, gradually distorted into an indistinguishable noise echo, swaying and colliding back and forth in his head. Qingchuan Xiang felt as if he had been thrown into a shaker, then shaken and mixed frantically by a professional bartender.

Something’s not quite right…

Not only the hearing, but the light in front of my eyes also became a little blurry. The boundaries between the colors of various lights blurred and turned into large blocks of color and spots of light, which were no longer recognizable.

My arms couldn't lift, and my five fingers couldn't even grip the cup. Suddenly, even drinking water seemed incredibly difficult. The life-saving water suddenly felt so far away from Qingchuan Xiang, yet it was clearly so close... My sense of space began to become chaotic.

broken.

Qingchuan Xiang vaguely realized that something was wrong with her. She had experienced this kind of thing before, but this time the cause of the symptoms seemed to be somewhat different from before.

She wanted to call out to the nearby shop assistants, asking them to fetch her sister, but even moving her lips took effort, her vocal cords rusted, making it difficult to produce a sound. Worse still, her throat was dry and stinging, and the dehydration symptoms had also set in. Even though she had been consuming various beverages not long ago, it seemed as if all the fluids had been lost in a short time.

A feeling of irritability followed. The difficulty in consuming water made Qingchuan Xiang more irritable than any other time when he was dehydrated. He even had the urge to throw away the cup in his hand - he couldn't drink the water in the cup anyway.

However, Qingchuan Xiang couldn't throw away the cup casually now.

Qingchuan Xiang didn't respond for a long time, which made the clerk realize that something was wrong.

"Excuse me, manager."

The clerk walked behind Qingchuan Xiang and brought a clean towel, intending to at least wipe the sweat off Xiang's back. However, when she lifted a slit in her clothes and put her hand with the towel in, she immediately discovered the problem due to the high temperature.

He wiped it roughly in a hurry, spread the towel and placed it on Qingchuan Xiang's back to absorb the sweat that was still seeping out. After the clerk withdrew his hand, he immediately placed it on Qingchuan Xiang's forehead.

There was no need to get a thermometer for a more accurate measurement. The moment he touched it, the clerk immediately made a judgment:

Qingchuan Xiang had a very high fever.

"Go next door and call Manager Yu!"

……

Qingchuan Xiang listened to the noise beside his ears and looked at the scene that seemed to suddenly become turbulent in front of him. He let out a long breath, let go of the cup, and used the last of his strength to retract his palm. He wiped the water on his chin and brought it to his lips, slightly moistening his lips.

A little more comfortable, but not much.

Chapter 337 Visit

Today, Xiangzi woke up late, a rare occasion. By the time she had to run to the school gate, there were only a few minutes left before the morning bell rang. However, as Xiangzi entered the teaching building, changed into her indoor shoes, and prepared to head to the classroom, her pace slowed down again.

The closer I get to the classroom, the heavier my steps feel.

What kind of expression should I use to face Qingchuan Xiang? Or what kind of attitude will Qingchuan Xiang use towards me?

If possible, Xiangzi hoped that Qingchuan Xiang could simply ignore her, which would make her feel more comfortable... Whenever Qingchuan Xiang simply waved and greeted her, Xiangzi would feel extremely entangled and his chest would feel stuffy.

I had tossed and turned in bed last night, trying to make up my mind. But every time I thought of Qingchuan Xiang's name, I naturally thought of Xiang's pearly gray hair, her blue and wet eyes, and her pale and thin lips...

Xiangzi took deep breaths repeatedly for a while, as if this could relieve the pain in his chest. The front door of the classroom was already in sight.

Although Xiangzi was unhappy about being separated from Qingchuan Xiang when they changed seats a few days ago, he was now very glad that he and Qingchuan Xiang were sitting at the back of the class, far away from each other and at the front door. This directly reduced most of the embarrassment, awkwardness and helplessness he would feel when facing Xiang at school.

But there was another problem.

Qingchuan Xiang sat at the front door of the classroom, so he would run into her as soon as he walked in. Most of the time, Xiangzi could of course avoid running into Qingchuan Xiang by going through the back door, but sometimes it was unavoidable.

Jingle Bell--

Just like now...

Xiangzi listened to the noisy sound of the morning bell with a somewhat grim expression. He was actually late for morning self-study. What was worse was that although the head teacher of Class B was a very easy-going teacher, he would still be very serious when it came to matters such as school rules.

If he wanted to sneak in through the back door, he would most likely be stopped by the class teacher, who would then gently ask Xiangzi to go out and come back in through the front door.

Sigh. Xiangzi gritted his teeth, grasped the strap of his schoolbag tightly, walked to the classroom door, and without even glancing at other places, he walked into the classroom while shouting his report.

"Oh, Xiangzi, you're late?" As expected, the homeroom teacher was already in the classroom, looking at Xiangzi with some surprise. For some reason, Xiangzi was staring at her, not even looking inside the classroom, which made the teacher feel a little awkward. "Well, it's not too late to come before the bell. If you were delayed on the way because of something special, please let me know. Go back to your seat first."

Xiangzi nodded, immediately raised his legs and walked forward, but the whole time he was trying hard to feel whether there was any sight coming from a certain direction behind him. As a result, he felt nothing except an inexplicable itch on his back.

I was still wondering what Xiaoxiang was doing, so I quickly returned to my seat.

When Xiangzi sat down, the head teacher coughed lightly, attracting the attention of all the students, and then said, "Qingchuan has asked for leave today. He seems to have a serious cold and has a high fever. It's the season change recently, so you should also be careful..."

Xiangzi could no longer hear the teacher's subsequent instructions. The first half of the sentence immediately made Xiangzi stretch his neck and look towards the front door. He found that he had hesitated for so long, but in fact, the place next to the front door was also empty today.

fever……?

Xiangzi had a bad feeling.

........................

Xiaoxiang has a fever?!

In the band's Line group, the other band members were caught off guard when they saw the news.

"At the hospital."

In Line, an account named Madam Xiang with a glass of amber wine on its avatar, Qingchuan Xiang, suddenly sent a message around noon.

"Xiao Xiang, are you okay? I remember you said your cold and fever would be very serious."

Xiao Deng also came over with some concern. She typed slowly, so she just looked at Aine's phone screen and asked Qingchuan Xiang what was going on.

"Tired, thirsty, and dizzy."

Several seconds passed after Aine sent the message before a new message popped up on the screen. It was only three words, but it took so long.

This time, before Aine could continue typing, a message from Riki popped up.

"Did you get yourself soaked again? Don't worry about the band."

The first half of this message was filled with Riki's experience, while the second half seemed a bit abrupt to follow the previous one. However, Aine could tell that Riki actually meant to have a good rest, but when the words were typed out, they unconsciously turned into Riki's indirect expression of concern.

Even typing and talking online is so awkward... Aine kindly added to help Riki.

"Lixi wants Xiaoxiang to have a good rest~"

I thought that the tsundere Li Xi would be furious and send an angry emoticon or something after his little thoughts were exposed. Aiyin was waiting to see Li Xi's stubborn attitude, but the next second, Li Xi only typed out one word.

"Ah."

"Is that really Li Xi behind the screen?! Return the phone!"

"You guy, you still have to make me angry at this time?"

Look, this time the angry panda emoticon package that Aiyin had been expecting arrived as promised, and the bear paws that appeared on the screen were all filled with Li Xi's anger.

"Stop making trouble."

Even Su Shi from the Moon Forest, where mobile phones are banned, showed up. She must have been secretly using her phone during lunch break.

"Which hospital is Xiaoxiang in now? Can I come to visit you? If so, what do you need?"

A few seconds later, an address was shared in the Line group, and then a few more seconds passed before Qingchuan Xiang's reply appeared intermittently:

"The nurse said yes." "I want a straw." "Give me some more."
