Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Aine laughed awkwardly, but Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to have any intention of blaming her. Instead, she suddenly became excited as if she was planning to do something.

"In that case, I would like to ask Aine a question."

“Y-What is it?”

"Aine, do you think I look like a human or a god?"

Wait, this is the question?!

Aiyin was stunned. She remembered hearing someone mention this once. It seemed to be a folk legend from China. Animals that had cultivated into spirits would ask people this question. She remembered it was called "asking for a title"?

If you answer like a human, the other person's cultivation will be destroyed and they will most likely be retaliated against. If you answer like a god, the other person will achieve perfect merit, but it seems that the person answering the question will also suffer damage to their luck?

Xiaoxiang suddenly asked this question, could there really be any deep meaning behind it...?

Aiyin couldn't help but shudder when she saw Xiaoxiang's smile, which seemed to have some unclear meaning.

Chapter 361 Fox

Aine began to brainstorm.

She frantically recalled in her mind the legend she had heard from a classmate or her parents. She must have just listened to it as an interesting little story at the time and didn't remember it at all!

No, I'd definitely remember this kind of folklore! And it came from somewhere else...

Aine still had a good recollection of the general idea that the taofeng (a tsoufeng) was about a youkai who had cultivated to perfection and was asking questions of a human being, which was quite impressive. She also had a vaguer impression that the answer to the tsoufeng (a tsoufeng) question, regardless of whether it sounded like a human or a god, would not end well for the person answering.

If you answer like a human and destroy the cultivation of a monster, then that monster is almost at perfection and will definitely be angry and retaliated. But if you answer like a god helping the other party to complete the merit, it seems that it will damage your own luck?

What a wicked monster! Isn’t this just a way to bring trouble upon people?! Aine is almost filled with righteous indignation!

"What are you thinking about? It's just a simple multiple-choice question. Why is Aine so quiet?"

There was a smile mixed in Qingchuan Xiang's words, and the giggles now seemed to have an extra strange and charming taste to Aiyin's ears who was daydreaming.

Could it be that Xiao Xiang is actually a vixen?! She always makes my heart flutter so easily, is this actually her fox charm, trying to seduce and absorb my essence to aid her cultivation?

Aine's thoughts began to move forward relentlessly in a nonsensical direction, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this might really be the case.

So...how should I answer now?

Should I choose between humans and gods? Or could I quickly give another answer before Xiaoxiang stops me? If I say "my wife," what will Xiaoxiang do?

"I think you look like—"

However, just when Aine was about to implement her plan, she didn't expect that she was not fast enough, or Qingchuan Xiang had already guessed what Aine was going to do. As soon as Aine opened her mouth, he grabbed Aine and pressed her down on the small sofa, pressing his index finger on her mouth.

“Huff, huff.” Qingchuan Xiang bent his upper body downwards. Although he didn’t use much strength, he “pressed” Aine firmly underneath her, making her dare not move. “I guess Aine won’t answer well, right?”

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aine with a smile, and the idea of making fun of her was obvious, showing completely on her face without even a little bit of concealment.

"Xiao Xiang, Ai Yin...what are you doing?"

The noise made by the two of them made Xiaodeng, who had been sitting at a small table and writing a club activity report seriously, couldn't help but look back. She looked at Qingchuan Xiang and Aine who were playing happily together, her eyes full of envy and the eagerness to join in.

"Xiao Deng, come here too~" Qingchuan Xiang sat up straight again and waved for Deng to come over. However, Aiyin was still hesitant to get up, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

After Xiao Deng put away his notebook and pen and came over to sit on the other side of Qing Chuan Xiang, Qing Chuan Xiang asked Xiao Deng the same question: "Xiao Deng, Xiao Deng, do you think I look like a human or a god?"

Deng tilted his head in confusion, not understanding this unusual question for a moment. But after a moment, he really started to think about it seriously and gave an answer:

"Sometimes I feel like Xiaoxiang is like a pool of clear water...ah, but I didn't mean to say that it was weird..."

Aine's eyes widened. Xiao Deng answered like this, so what will happen next!

However, nothing happened.

“Aine’s eyes look disappointed, isn’t that natural?”

Qingchuan Xiang finally couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Aiya, Aiyin is more interesting when she teases you."

"What?! You're just teasing me!"

"Yeah, after all, only Aine would have such an interesting reaction. The funny look of her being skeptical yet gradually convincing herself through wild thoughts is really worth teasing." Qingchuan Xiang nodded and used Xiao Deng as an example to explain.

"Xiao Deng is the type who will seriously believe my questions and answer them earnestly. If she believes them too quickly, it's not that interesting. But she's very cute."

As she spoke, Qingchuan Xiang happily pinched Xiaodeng's face. It was rare for her to pinch someone else's face. Usually, she was the one who was touched on the head and rubbed on the face. It was only because of Xiaodeng's personality that she could be touched on the face naturally.

"Then the opposite situation is Xiangzi. If she heard me ask her this kind of question, she would just stare at me with a helpless look and then answer me casually.

“So, this kind of question can only be best addressed with you, Aine.”

"You talk like I'm an idiot—"

Aiyin puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. Impossible, absolutely impossible that I was the only one who took it so seriously!

But no matter how hard Aine searched for possible candidates in her mind, it seemed that there was really no one else who would behave like she just did.

"Okay, don't be angry." Qingchuan Xiang patted Aine's shoulder, "So, Aine, what do you think I am like? Although I just interrupted you, I am actually quite curious about what kind of image I have in your eyes."

“…” Aine fell silent again at this time.

Well, when my mind was wandering just now, I thought of Fox Charm, Deep Diver, and even answers like my wife. No matter how I think about it, I can't say it out loud now...

However, to be serious, Aiyin still thinks that the thing Xiaoxiang is most like is just as Xiaodeng answered just now, that is, water.

But no! She had been teased like this, so she had to tease him back!

"Ahem." Aiyin took a strong breath, and with a strong sense of shame, she said with difficulty, "I think... Xiaoxiang, you are like my little lover, haha."

The last "pu" was because Aine couldn't help but burst out laughing first.

It's really shameful.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiao Xiang, just pretend you didn't hear it." Before hearing Qingchuan Xiang's answer, Aiyin was almost defeated by herself.

Aiyin covered her face and almost curled up on the sofa, wishing she could just squeeze herself into the crack of the sofa.

However, a pair of hands supported Aiyin's cheeks, pushed her hands away, and gently lifted her head up again, allowing her to look at Xiang again.

"Is that so?" Qingchuan Xiang asked curiously, seemingly feeling nothing at all about Aine's answer. "But if we're lovers, how should I address Aine? Dear?"

"..."

It turned out to be Fox Charm after all.

Aine felt that she would be sucked dry sooner or later.

Chapter 362: Changes in Lost

I don’t know why, but in the few days since Qingchuan Xiang was hospitalized last time, Aiyin felt that Xiao Xiang seemed to be more... "proactive" than before?

If Xiao Xiang's various intimate actions in the past were all her unconscious and natural behaviors, then the feeling Xiao Xiang gave Aiyin now was that she knew that this was a controversial thing, but she still did it, and did not hide her actions of observing other people's reactions after doing these things.

Aiyin wasn't sure whether this change was good or bad for Xiaoxiang, but she felt that Xiaoxiang, who no longer concealed her uniqueness and was more spontaneous and proactive, made Aiyin feel more lively and energetic, even though she seemed a little self-centered.

Because she is no longer so demanding of herself to be like an ordinary person.

Aiyin was actually quite happy to see Xiaoxiang's transformation, not only because Xiaoxiang seemed to have let go of some of her previous overly persistent but unnecessary thoughts. On the other hand, Aiyin also gained a lot of benefits from Xiaoxiang's transformation.

For example, Xiaoxiang just called me dear...

Who can resist this?

"Aine, Ano-chan!"

"what!"

What, what happened? Aiyin suddenly opened her eyes and looked around blankly. The familiar ceiling, the familiar astronomy club room, and the familiar Qingchuan Xiang and Xiao Deng.

“Aine, you just collapsed with your eyes closed. You might have a cold and a fever, so you’re dizzy, right?”

Qingchuan Xiang asked, she and Xiao Deng looked at Aine with worried eyes, but Aine saw clearly that Xiang's eyes and the curled corners of her mouth were not coordinated well, she was simply trying to hold back her laughter!

I've been so embarrassed today! Aiyin clenched her fists inwardly, and the villain in her heart gnashed her teeth as she looked at Qingchuan Xiang, wishing she could eat this naughty guy right here and then.

"Okay, it's time to go practice, right? Did you guys practice during the two days I was in the hospital?"

"Yeah." Xiao Deng nodded. A faint smile would naturally appear on her face when she mentioned the band, but for her, this was a sign of great happiness. "Everyone is working very hard."

"Hehe, I didn't make a single mistake yesterday."

As soon as she mentioned her good performance, Aine immediately forgot about her embarrassing appearance just now, and once again put on a proud look with her hands on her hips, chest out... and back straight.

“Oh, even Aine seems so confident, so it seems like the live will be no problem at all.”

"What do you mean by 'even me'?! I'm a completely different person now. Not to mention professional-level, I'm not even comparable to the so-called current-level guys!"

"What is the current charge level?" Qingchuan Xiang asked curiously. This was probably another classification defined by Aine herself.

Aine is sometimes quite keen on making up some words of her own. In her words, as long as she keeps doing this, maybe one day the words she made up will become popular, widely used, suitable for all ages, and all-purpose new memes that can be both humorous and serious. At that time, Chihaya Aine will be famous!

At that time, Qingchuan Xiang thought about it and was kind enough not to remind Aiyin. Except for the memes that are closely related to the people themselves, basically most of the Internet buzzwords and the people who created them belong to their own lives. The popularity of the words has nothing to do with the people.

"The Xianchong level refers to those who superficially celebrate youth, but in reality, they just think learning an instrument and forming a band is too cool, so they just impulsively do it, learn a few chords, and then think about shining brightly at a concert to attract people."

“…Aine, aren’t you scolding yourself?”

"Although I was like this in the beginning, I have fully grown up now!" Aine smiled nonchalantly and decisively cut off all ties with her past self. Her thickness of skin was astonishing.

"Aine is indeed much more powerful now." Xiao Deng also echoed from the side.

Deng, you're only going to make Aine more arrogant. Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aine and saw her start to shake her body with pride. She hadn't even started the live show yet, but she was already so proud. Sometimes it was no wonder that Li Xi would always poke her with a few words out of frustration.

Qingchuan Xiang didn't intend to pour cold water on Aine, but he subconsciously started to think about some things in the future based on Aine's behavior.

A band for life...

Even now that the band is getting better and better, Qingchuan Xiang still doesn't have much confidence in forming a band for life.

Firstly, a band that relies solely on hobbies won't last long. Most student bands that start in high school fall apart as soon as they enter college. In contrast, the kind of commercial band Xiangzi wants, one that's driven by profit from the outset, is more likely to last longer.

Aine clearly hasn't considered band membership as a career path. To be more precise, Riki is probably the only one in the band who might have considered it. Sushi's approach to music itself is somewhat similar to Kiyokawa Xiang's: both lack passion for it. She initially learned the double bass simply to fit in at school. Meanwhile, Lenai, on the other hand, is overly passionate about music. She has the purest love for playing guitar of the group, and she truly could have formed a band based on her passion.

At the same time, even if it was Xiao Deng who proposed to form a band for life, she... probably had never thought about so many and such far-reaching things.

And Qingchuan Xiang is even more outrageous. In this era of big girl bands, where people sometimes jokingly say that forming a band is the same as getting married, Qingchuan Xiang's attitude and thoughts towards the band can be simply summarized as: a scam.

In a sense, everyone in the band today is brought together because of their own shortcomings.

Aiyin, who suffered a setback in her life in London, started anew in a band to seek the starting point of a brilliant life; Sushi was greedy for the warmth that she could still unforgettable after the disbandment of CRYCHIC; Lixi was determined to prove his ability, and was deeply moved by the redemption of Xiaodeng's singing; Lenai found a new home; Deng, in his lost life, once again found the light that could guide his way.

However, shortcomings will eventually be made up. Even if there are still loopholes, people will gradually learn to coexist and reconcile with these regrets as they grow.

When that time comes and bands are no longer necessary, where will everyone go?

However, although it is impossible to find an ultimate goal in life that you yearn for all at once, at least for them now, the band is their current goal.

If you don’t have a goal, then just get lost. The river of life has many tributaries that are intertwined and tangled, but as long as you go downstream, even if you stray into a small river and lose your way, you will eventually flow into the sea.

"I suddenly thought of something." Qingchuan Xiang said.

"what? What?"

"Our band doesn't have a name yet, right?" Qingchuan Xiang blinked. "Let's call it 'Lost Son'. What do you think?"

--------

Chapter 363 Bringing Water into the Room

Seriously, the band should have a name.

More than a month has passed, and although we haven't been able to practice together even half as many days, now that the official live performance is just around the corner, it's okay that we don't have a convenient name to call the band, but when we officially go on stage, will they really say we are an unknown band?

When it comes to naming the band, Aine has always been cunning, but unfortunately she is the one with the lowest level of strength in the entire band. In the beginning, as she herself said, she was just a pure current-level player. What was this called in the era of big girl bands?

This means that not only are your fingers weak, but you also have to wear manicures!

Originally, Riki and Sushi thought that since she was "vetted" by Kiyokawa Xiang (which she actually wasn't), she should have some ability. But who knew that on the day of the first practice, Aine revealed everything she had. The main reason was that her foundation was too shallow, and it was exposed in an instant.

Then, Ain, who cared the most about the team name and uniforms, immediately lost her right to speak in the band. Every time she reluctantly mentioned the idea of thinking about the team name even during breaks, she would be rudely told, "You should practice your piano first," and Ain had no way to refute it.

But recently, as Aiyin's guitar skills improved by leaps and bounds, those thoughts that were originally suppressed began to stir again, trying to usurp the throne and regain the right to speak in the band. This time, not only did she practice her fingers hard, she also cut her nails!

Even if Qingchuan Xiang didn't mention the band name today, Aine would definitely bring it up again in the last few days before the live.

"Mygo?"

In the practice room, Aiyin took advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't taken out their instruments yet to talk about the band name. She also pulled Qingchuan Xiang's tiger skin flag and explained in advance that this was the source of Xiao Xiang's inspiration.

"It's Mygo!!!!!!!"

"Is there any difference?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows.
