Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

straw?

Although they were a little confused, the band members all expressed in the group that they could bring it.

"Xiao Xiang didn't even ask us to bring drinks."

"Most of them are forbidden."

"Okay, Xiaoxiang, you should have a good rest first. If you have a fever and feel dizzy, staring at your phone screen all the time will only make you feel dizzier." Su Shi reminded her, "I'll come to see you after school this afternoon."

"Ah."

After that, Qingchuan Xiang never spoke in the Line group again. Aiyin put away her phone and looked at Xiaodeng beside her. They saw the same worry in each other's eyes.

In addition to worrying about Qingchuan Xiang's physical problems, the band's problems cannot be ignored.

The live date is not far away. If Xiaoxiang doesn't get better before then...

Chapter 338 Powerless Xiaoxiang

There is always a smell of disinfectant in the hospital. Although many people hate this smell, Qingchuan Xiang thinks it smells quite unique. A similar situation is the smell of toilet water. Especially when applying toilet water on oneself, the cool and moist touch on the skin combined with the strong stimulating smell will make Qingchuan Xiang particularly energetic.

However, Qingchuan Xiang would not like to come to the hospital just because he thinks the smell of disinfectant is nice.

She seldom comes to the hospital. She has hardly ever suffered any injuries from bumps or bruises, and she rarely has any illnesses. Basically, all the times she comes to the hospital are because of the same symptom - fever.

Whether it's a cold, overheating, or a viral flu, a fever often requires at least a few days in the hospital. The shortest recorded recovery time is two days, while the longest is around three weeks.

Because of this unique situation and the fact that his family members are quite famous, Qingchuan Xiang is considered a legendary patient in the hospital.

So when Su Shi and others came to the nurse on duty and mentioned Qingchuan Xiang's name, the nurse didn't even need to look at the roster and directly pointed out the ward number for them.

"The ward is over there, turn left at the end of the corridor." The nurse explained the usual visitor precautions according to professional standards. "Don't make loud noises in the ward, don't feed the patient casually, it's best to ask the nurse first, and don't disturb the patient's normal rest..."

At the end of her speech, fluently reeling off a long string of words, the nurse, thinking of the special situation of the girl in the ward, added, "You'd better keep an eye on your friend and make sure she doesn't drink too much water. Although she's always losing water through sweat, repeated high-intensity water loss can also be a problem."

Everyone looked at each other, nodded obediently to show that they understood, and then the nurse let them go.

Several people walked lightly and found the ward number. Su Shi, who took the lead, knocked on the door twice and waited for a while before pushing it open.

"Xiao Xiang, shall we come in?"

As the door opened, the scene inside the room appeared in front of everyone.

This was a spacious single-bedroom ward. Hospital rooms, unless they were in an extremely old building, always gave off a pure white impression: crisp white walls, soft white sheets and quilts, even the blue and white striped hospital gown worn by the patient in bed—in this setting, the only color left was white.

At this time, Qingchuan Xiang was lying on the hospital bed, lying on his side with his back to everyone, supporting his upper body with one hand, leaning forward slightly and sticking his head out of the bed, with his head lowered and looking listless.

"Xiao Xiang?!"

Although Qingchuan Xiang's face could not be seen, the shaky appearance of Xiao Xiang leaning on the bed at this time was really worrying. Several people hurried into the room, walked around the bed and came to Qingchuan Xiang.

"Ah...you guys are here?"

Qingchuan Xiang's voice was extremely hoarse, as if a razor blade was stuffed into her throat, piercing her throat and causing air to leak out. At the same time, her weak body made it difficult for her to maintain a volume that was within a range that could be heard clearly. The short sentence sounded like it was blurred together and could not be heard clearly.

Su Shi and Aine supported Qingchuan Xiang on both sides to prevent her from falling. They wanted to help Xiao Xiang lie back on the bed, but they were worried that excessive movement would make Xiao Xiang feel more dizzy - her eyes were almost spinning!

"Xiao Xiang, do you want to vomit?"

Considering Qingchuan Xiang's action of sticking her head out just now, Su Shi thought she wanted to spit out something, but Qingchuan Xiang shook her head.

"I want to get out of bed and squat for a while... or sit on a bench," Qingchuan Xiang explained. "Lowering my center of gravity and lowering my head will make me feel better and give me a sense of security."

This seemed to be Qingchuan Xiang's own personal experience. Xiao Xiang raised her head with difficulty and looked up at the few people pitifully: "Can you help me?"

"I think it would be better for Xiaoxiang to lie down and rest..."

Aiyin looked at Qingchuan Xiang with some embarrassment and heartache. Xiang at this moment had completely lost her usual vitality. She was like a plump sponge that had originally absorbed water but had all the water in its body squeezed out and became shriveled.

"Well……"

"Alas." Su Shi sighed, "Xiao Xiang, you can only squat for a while. If you become uncomfortable, we will immediately carry you back to bed."

Qingchuan Xiang nodded bitterly.

"Lixi, come and lend a hand."

Li Xi, who was more powerful, helped Xiao Xiang slowly get off the bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Qingchuan Xiang slowly squatted down on her own, then hugged her knees, leaned forward slightly, and leaned against the edge of the bed to use the force to reduce her physical exertion.

The amazing thing is that after squatting like this, Xiao Xiang's breathing, which originally seemed a little difficult, became much smoother, and her expression became much more relaxed.

It’s really effective.

Qingchuan Xiang not only squatted down but also leaned forward slightly to lower her head. At this time, she could only see the knees of several people and the long hems of their school uniforms after the change of seasons. She counted the number of them, but found that there seemed to be one missing.

"Where's Lenai...?"

After thinking for a while hesitantly, Qingchuan Xiang found that he did not see the wild cat's legs, which were particularly thin for a junior high school student.

"Xiao Lenai...I don't know where she went." Xiao Deng replied.

"Maybe he didn't even look at his phone." Qingchuan Xiang said the most likely scenario. Although his voice was still a little weak, his speech was much clearer.

Several people started chatting in this strange position around Xiaoxiang who was squatting in the middle.

"So, yesterday, when the band was on break, you went somewhere and got soaked?" Li Xi reached out and touched Qingchuan Xiang's forehead. She was shocked by the scorching heat. "I seriously doubt you have such a severe fever, and it's also because of the accumulated symptoms from all those times you were fooling around."

"Did Xiaoxiang take out the small swimming pool at home again yesterday?"

Su Shi thought of the inflatable swimming pool and Qingchuan Xiang in a swimsuit.

"..." Qingchuan Xiang leaned against the bed and was speechless for a moment, making people think that she was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention to what everyone was saying. But soon Qingchuan Xiang spoke, "I didn't play in the water yesterday, it's just... I was in a bad mood."

"Bad mood?"

This made everyone even more confused. Most people here had never seen Qingchuan Xiang in a bad mood. Except for Su Shi.

Su Shi was actually questioned by Qingchuan Xiang at home.

Could it be that... Su Shi narrowed his eyes and had a guess in his mind.

Chapter 339 Standardized Xiaoxiang

After Qingchuan Xiang squatted on the ground for a while, a nurse passing by the ward saw through the glass window on the door that several girls were surrounding the extremely weak and pitiful patient on the ground. Her face immediately changed, and she "banged" the door open and yelled at them for bullying the patient, saying it was shameless...

Then, after everyone frantically explained and apologized, it became clear that Qingchuan Xiang wanted to squat on the ground for a while. After a while of noise, Qingchuan Xiang tried hard to raise her head to prove that they were right, and this successfully stopped the nurse from driving them all away.

"You kid, you're such a jerk! Even if you have to do this, at least get a small stool. It's hard to say whether you can stand up after squatting down like this..." The nurse muttered unhappily as she brought a small stool to Qingchuanxiang. She also took a large coat next to her and put it on Qingchuanxiang, closing it tightly. "When you're not covering yourself with a blanket, keep your clothes on. You have a severe fever now. Even if you sweat, you can't continue to catch a cold. Do you hear me?"

"Yes...thank you, sister." Qingchuan Xiangtu closed his eyes to save effort, but listened to the voice and carefully forced a smile towards the nurse.

The nurse's professional cold face, which she had trained to make patients take their illness seriously, began to waver. She couldn't help but gently rub Qingchuan Xiang's face, and finally lowered her voice: "Okay, have a good rest. If you have any questions, just ring the bell."

Everyone has learned their lesson and no longer surrounds Qingchuan Xiang so tightly, otherwise it would really look like some terrible bullying scene.

“But…” Aine sat down beside the bed, looking at Kiyokawa Xiang, who, despite being seated on a bench, remained exceptionally quiet. “Xiang has changed so much since she got sick. She seems like a completely different person.”

Still cute though.

After hearing this, Li Xi gave Ai Yin a sullen look and said, "If you were seriously ill, you would also become listless."

"That's not what I meant. I meant—"

"Xiao Xiang, it's a bit like the way it was at the beginning..." Xiao Deng suddenly spoke at this time. She was closest to Qingchuan Xiang, squatted in front of Xiang, and held one of Xiang's hands.

Unlike Xiao Xiang's usual cool feeling, now Xiang was like a small furnace, with a thin layer of sweat oozing out of her hot skin, and the temperature had never been so obvious to her...

"What did it look like originally?"

"When CRYCHIC first started..." Xiao Deng said.

"Really?" Li Xi frowned in confusion, recalling how Qingchuan Xiang looked when he first met him.

"Does Xiao Deng mean that Xiao Xiang back then was as 'quiet' as she is now?" Su Shi also recalled and tried to express Xiao Deng's thoughts.

“Hey—are you guys going to tell me something that only I don’t understand?” Seeing the others start talking about Crychic, Aine was about to start making a scene, “I’ve heard you mention that name a lot, but every time you refuse to talk about it more, at least let me understand a little bit about what you’re saying!”

"Because it's just something that happened in the past, there's nothing to talk about." Li Xi curled his lips.

“But I want to get to know everyone better…” Aine puffed up her cheeks, “Although I’m happy to create new memories with everyone from now on, I also want to get to know everyone better.”

"But there's really nothing special to say."

"I'm really curious about what Xiao Deng just said about Xiang's changes! What was Xiao Xiang like when you first met her? And why do you say that Xiao Xiang now looks very similar to her then?"

Perhaps Aiyin's persistence convinced everyone who didn't want to talk about the past, or perhaps they were moved by her statement that she "wanted to understand", and everyone began to piece together the past time word by word.

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

The formation of CRYCHIC wasn't a one-off event; it was formed by Toyokawa Shoko, the absolute leader at the time, who brought together people she considered capable. Then the first problem arose.

Which one was Qingchuan Xiang to join the band?

Li Xi was the first to speak, at least before himself.

At the beginning, Riki was the last person Xiangzi found. He found Riki's sister Maki first, but she didn't have the free time to join the band, so Maki recommended him to join the band.

Lixi wanted to refuse at first, because she had a very strong feeling that she was being pushed into this so-called band as a substitute for her sister.

But in the end, she was persuaded by her sister's light-hearted words: "Haven't you always wanted to prove yourself? The opportunity is right in front of you."

She must have been impatient and clicked her tongue at her sister's wicked smile. Li Xi smacked her lips in displeasure just thinking about it. But no matter what, this time, Li Xi had to admit that her sister was right.

After accepting the invitation, Lixi soon received the invitation to his first event with the band. It is hard to recall what he was thinking at the time, but Lixi arrived very early, almost an hour earlier than the agreed time.

"Why did I come so early..." Li Xi would even mutter to herself when she was in a bad mood. In order to pass the time, she had to sit on the bench outside the coffee shop at the agreed location, put on headphones and started listening to her favorite music.

However, before he had finished listening to a few songs, a shadow suddenly stood in front of him.

"Hello."

It was a very soft voice, with a clear and cool sound quality, just like drops of water from melting ice falling on a mirror, which was very impressive at the first listen.

Li Xi looked up and saw a girl with pearl-gray hair standing in front of him. She seemed particularly hot standing under the scorching sun. The collar of her white shirt was soaked. When she unbuttoned the first button, she could see a little bit of her collarbone and a few drops of sweat.

She looked at herself with a smile, a very standard smile that could perfectly handle most first-time meeting scenarios, neither too flattering nor too cold, so as to leave a good impression on people.

What Li Xi didn't know was that this was a smile that the girl had specially trained for a long time. It was simple and effective, and could be considered one of the most cost-effective social aids.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Li Xi initially thought it was someone from the band, but then he thought, who else would be stupid enough to come so early?

However, the other party's next words immediately answered her question.

"My name is Qingchuan Xiang, and I'm one of the members of the band that invited you to join." Qingchuan Xiang was still standing, maintaining a social distance from Lixi that was neither too far nor too close. It was a rigid way of handling things, but not easy to go wrong.

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

Li Xi subconsciously glanced at Qingchuan Xiang at this time. Qingchuan Xiang noticed Li Xi's gaze, looked up, and responded with a simple smile.

A smile without any embellishment, even though the brain is burning and dehydrated.

Li Xi suddenly had the illusion of the smile he saw when they first met.

"It's really a bit like..."

Chapter 340 Lost Xiaoxiang

"Since Xiaoxiang joined the band before Lixi, who's next?"

Aiyin was already looking like she was listening to a story, and when she saw Riki suddenly stop, she still urged the next one with great interest.

"You guy..."

"What?! I'm the one who doesn't know anything—"

"If you really want to know when Xiang joined the band, why don't you just ask her directly? It would be much faster that way."

"Huh, that's why Li Xi is always so boring."

"Okay, you two." Su Shi stepped forward at this time, "Xiao Xiang has fallen asleep."

Several people hurriedly looked at the patient sitting in the corner. Qingchuan Xiang had closed her eyes again and was lying on a small stool, leaning against the bedside table behind her and the bed beside her. Her stable posture allowed her to relax without falling, and it seemed that she had really fallen asleep.

"Didn't sleep."

After hearing Su Shi mention himself, Qingchuan Xiang spoke, but it sounded like a dream talk, "You can continue to talk about this."

Since I said so myself.

"I was probably the next person to join the band before Li Xi," Su Shi said, "but when I met everyone in the band, Xiao Xiang was already there.

"And if I really had to say what impression Xiao Xiang left on me during that period...it seems like nothing."

Su Shi thought about it seriously and found that his mind was filled with only the image of the current Xiao Xiang, while the previous Qingchuan Xiang seemed too dull. In the initial band activities, he always seemed to stand on the edge, watching everyone quietly.

Although she did everything that was required of her, and did it very well, and Su Shi often marveled at her musical instrument skills, she just had no sense of presence.
