Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Hehe, that Xiangzi is not a good person either. I'm not sure if he will end up tying me up to Xiangzi and killing me."

"Why do I feel like you, Yu, seem to hope that your sister will fail?"

Qing Chuanyu thought of the last time when he and Xiang were in front of the archive wall. He deliberately took a few more glances at the photos that Qing Chuanxiang had placed in the middle. In Qing Chuanxiang's own notes, those people had a "commonality" that made Qing Chuanyu very concerned.

They all have a feeling that makes Qingchuan Xiang difficult to deal with, and behind them are unknown emotions that make Xiang feel curious.

In the past, there had never been such a troublesome person around Xiang, which made Qingchuan Xiang have a strong desire to take the initiative to contact these people.

Perhaps, giving Qingchuan Xiang more strength is the key to allowing her to gradually understand feelings.

Qingchuan Yu smiled, his expression full of anticipation.

Of course, it's also very pleasing to see the always calm little sister flip over -

Chapter 55: Mutouren

"Did you fall somewhere?"

The incident happened suddenly. Although he knew it was a decision made in a hurry, Xiangzi was still shocked by the fact that he and Qingchuan Xiang hugged each other and fell together, and looked at each other in such an intimate position of lying side by side. He was a little dazed for a moment and didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Qingchuan Xiang who spoke first. He loosened his arms around Xiangzi and looked at Xiangzi, who seemed to be in a daze, with some concern.

"I'm fine." Xiangzi quickly adjusted himself. The first thing he did after he came to his senses was to look around for fear that someone would see this terrible scene. Then he stood up immediately. It seemed that he had returned to normal, but in fact, his cheeks were still slightly hot and it was difficult to go away.

Qingchuan Xiang also slowly stood up. The fall forced her to sober up a little. Then she picked up the pile of empty bottles on the ground that she had created in more than an hour and threw them into the bag that originally contained drinks - the one she had just opened was the last box of milk jelly.

"Xiang, you go first. I'll clean up here." After getting up, Xiangzi picked up the vacuum cleaner that Senior Dahe had placed aside and pretended to be adjusting the vacuum cleaner.

A vacuum cleaner only has two or three buttons, doesn't it? Qingchuan Xiang thought, but didn't expose Xiangzi. After what just happened, it was normal to feel awkward, especially since Xiangzi was a young lady and probably didn't have much experience in such close contact with outsiders.

Even these few experiences should be my own.

Qingchuan Xiang made a "hmm" sound and stopped saying anything more to provoke Xiangzi. He obediently carried the garbage and left.

"Hey, little sister, what did you do just now that made such a loud noise?"

As soon as I got to the cashier, my older sister came up to me with a look of mischief on her face. The two sisters have similar faces, so why did my older sister feel so unkind?

Qingchuan Xiang pushed Yu away with disdain. The relationship between the two was truly perfect, like sisters and friends. She threw the bag of bottles and boxes into a special box under the cash register.

"Tsk tsk, you don't even look like you fell, you look like you were wrestling. Go change your clothes, you're all dusty and dirty."

After the recent ordeal, Qingchuan Xiang was still wearing a white shirt that was very easy to get dirty, and the layers of gray dust were really conspicuous.

"Sister, do you still have the clothes I left here? I didn't bring any clothes here today."

"Nothing."

"Well, then I'll go change into the uniform at VA-11. The air conditioner is on anyway, so it won't be too hot in a long-sleeved shirt." After saying that, Qingchuan Xiang opened the door leading to the backstage of the coffee shop next door and walked over.

I can't tell what happened. Qingchuan Yu's curiosity kept scratching herself. Although she knew that such a thing was unlikely to happen, she was really looking forward to seeing her little sister's shy look.

A while later, Qingchuan Xiang still hadn't returned. Xiangzi had already cleaned the rest area—most of it had already been cleaned by Dahe, leaving only the area Qingchuan Xiang had previously occupied. The vacuum cleaner had also been returned to the staff room.

Facing Xiangzi, Qing Chuanyu didn't dare to be so presumptuous. He could only look at Xiangzi's expression first. Unfortunately, he couldn't see any clues from Xiangzi's face.

Alas, in this offensive and defensive battle between two powerful men, I can’t even tell the outcome of the battle.

"Xiaoxiang went to change her clothes and should be back soon." Qing Chuanyu took the initiative to explain.

Xiangzi just said "hmm", then told Qingchuanyu that he was going to work first and turned around and left.

Something was wrong. Xiangzi was still a little behind, revealing some flaws.

It seems that Xiangzi is deliberately being cold towards Qingchuan Xiang, as if he is forcing himself not to pay attention to Qingchuan Xiang's affairs. Before, Xiangzi would occasionally ask himself about Xiang's usual situation, but now he suddenly adopts an evasive attitude, which is an over-acting and seems to be suspicious.

It seems that my little sister is really more capable. Qing Chuanyu shook his head and sighed, and did not continue to gossip about this matter, and went back to work.

However, the account book had just been opened when the wind chimes hanging on the door of the study were rang by the door being pushed open, causing Qing Chuanyu to subconsciously look towards the door.

Amid the crisp tinkling of wind chimes, a girl appeared, wearing a pure white, plain and unadorned long dress, and a huge wide-brimmed hat shaped like a straw hat, which was very suitable for the hot summer. Her long straight light green hair was draped down from under the brim of the hat. She had indifferent golden eyes and an expressionless small face. She held a small handbag in front of her with both hands. Qingchuan Yu had heard Izumo in the Moon Forest say that in order to avoid hitting the bag in front of her with her knees, she had to limit her stride and speed. This was a way to cultivate the elegant and polite posture of a young lady.

It's so beautiful, Qingchuanyu couldn't help but admire in his heart. And it's not just beautiful, coupled with the girl's somewhat droopy eyebrows and lack of any expression that are common in the mouthless system, she really looks like a perfect doll that has been carefully carved.

The girl with long light green hair walked to the cashier counter in small steps. She looked at Qing Chuanyu behind the counter without saying a word. She just stared at him. Qing Chuanyu was feeling strange and wanted to ask what was wrong, but the girl spoke again, as if she was not used to talking to others.

"Excuse me, is Xiangzi here?"

Her voice was very soft, just like her appearance. The tone of her voice was also quite flat, without any ups and downs. She gave people a feeling of weakness, which easily made people want to protect her.

This person seems familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before?

Qing Chuanyu was somewhat unsure about the other party's identity and what he was looking for Xiangzi for, so he did not tell the other party directly. Instead, he planned to ask clearly first, but soon there was no need for this.

"Mu?" The door behind Qingchuan Yu was pushed open, and out walked Qingchuan Xiang, who had already changed into the "bartender uniform". He was obviously just changing out of dirty clothes, but Xiang even put on the tie of the uniform.

Hearing this name, Qing Chuanyu finally remembered that he had seen it on the wall of records. He was a member of the same band as Xiang. However, compared to the other members, Mu's position on the wall of records was relatively less central, and there were fewer entries for Mu, so Qing Chuanyu didn't have such a deep impression of him.

This doll-like little girl was Wakaba Mu. Seeing Qingchuan Xiang here, Mu tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What is Xiang doing here?"

Seeing that he was once a member of the same band, he should be a very familiar person. However, Mu did not exchange any greetings or polite words, but just asked in a stiff tone.

Qingchuan Xiang didn't mind the other party's direct words. Although Xiang had always been unable to read Mu's inner thoughts, it was precisely because of this that Xiang spent the most time observing Mu during their time in the band. Therefore, on the contrary, he knew Mu's behavior patterns and style very well. Xiang knew that Mu's words were just like that, without any politeness.

However, Mu's question... made Qingchuan Xiang feel a little uncomfortable. Mu's question was definitely not just curiosity about why he was here.

Qingchuan Xiang smiled back, and subconsciously focused all his attention on observing Mu's movements and expressions. "Xiao Mu, what's the matter with Xiangzi?"

Chapter 56: Sharp Sword, Sharp Eyes

"Yeah." Mu nodded and said nothing else.

He was as silent as ever, but there was a very subtle change in his movements. His little head was lowered a little bit than before, and his already drooping eyes trembled slightly.

However, it is difficult to say whether such a slight movement is an unconscious action of the body caused by psychological changes, or whether it is just the natural breathing rhythm of Xiaomu's body.

Qingchuan Xiang was really looking at Mu with a microscope, but after just a short while, Qingchuan Xiang started blinking.

The private conversation with Xiao Mu must not last too long, otherwise either I will be in the dark and have to rely on my body to explore the minefield and rely on conversation to figure it out, or my eyes will be ruined here.

It’s better to call Xiangzi first. It’s too tiring to be the main initiator of the conversation and observe with such high intensity at the same time. It would be much better to let Xiangzi and Xiaomu talk while I secretly observe from the side.

"Sister, this is our friend from the band, Ruoye Mu. I'll take her to find Xiangzi first."

"go Go."

Qingchuan Xiang glanced at Xiao Mu again. She just stood there blankly. She was clearly introducing Mu to others, but Xiao Mu herself didn't seem to react at all:

"Xiao Mu, come with me. I'll take you to find Xiangzi."

Qingchuan Xiang took the lead and walked in front, deliberately slowing down his pace to match Mu's small steps. After taking two steps, he looked back. Little Mu was like a little duck following its mother, not saying a word, but just following it obediently.

Qingchuan Xiang suddenly wanted to try taking Mu around in circles in the study. When would little Mu notice? If he noticed, would he show any obvious facial expressions or actions?

The more I think about this idea, the more tempting it becomes. I feel like I can really give it a try, right?

After calculating what day it is today and based on the previous routine of what work is done today, it can be roughly inferred that Xiangzi's job now should be to count the list of new books. The new books will be placed in a corner of the bookstore to be sorted first. As long as he avoids that corner, he can always take Mu to stroll slowly in the bookstore.

The excuse was very convincing. Qingchuan Bookstore was not small, so he said he didn't know where Xiangzi was exactly, and it was not convenient to just call out Xiangzi's name to find him in a place like a bookstore.

Thinking of this, Qingchuan Xiang has already started to take action. He lifted his fallen feet and adjusted the direction of advance without making a sound. However, after taking only a few steps, Mu stopped immediately.

Qingchuan Xiang naturally noticed immediately that Mu did not continue to follow him, so he stopped and asked in confusion:

"What happened? It stopped suddenly."

--------

Mu had never expected to run into Qingchuan Xiang here. Although when he saw the name of the bookstore, he did think of this bandmate who was also a guitarist like himself.

But Xiangzi is gradually getting worse... She no longer wants to see the people from her former band, so why did she find a job in Qingchuan Xiang's store?

Mu looked at Qingchuan Xiang in front of her, and couldn't help but think of a water mirror like a curtain.

Mu has always had a keen intuition. She has been observing everything, Xiangzi's stubbornness, the guilt of leaving the band he personally founded, but his helpless dignity; Su Shi's motherly care for those around her, always adjusting the atmosphere of everyone in the band, is the person who can make her feel free and relaxed...

Naturally, Mu Ye has always kept Qingchuan Xiang in his eyes.

Qingchuan Xiang is the most complex. She is like an invisible, transparent, flowing and ever-changing stream of water. After absorbing everything around her, she reflects the seemingly real light and shadow refracted by the water curtain, so that she can blend into the surroundings.

Just like when a person is wrapped in mirrors, she will appear invisible as if she is a visual illusion. This is the most vivid description of Qingchuan Xiang's current state.

It's like this now, and it was like this in the past when CRYCHIC was here. Mu could only see the "water" that seamlessly wrapped around Qingchuan Xiang's body, but never really saw her true appearance. Why did she do this?

Because of this thought, Mu asked: "What is Xiang doing here?"

The water curtain rippled, causing the disguised light and shadow to slightly distort, but it quickly calmed down and asked:

"Xiao Mu, are you here to talk to Xiangzi about something?"

When Mu heard Qingchuan Xiang's answer, he realized that he had once again said something too straightforward, but Xiang understood what he meant and avoided the question.

Qingchuan Xiang understood what he meant as always.

Mu Qingzhi is always not good at expressing his inner thoughts accurately, and always makes others angry, but Qingchuan Xiang never does that.

If I say that when I was in the band, I was the other half of Xiangzi, and the two of us knew each other well and trusted each other, and Su Shi brought me the warmth of being cared for carefully, which I had rarely experienced, then Qingchuan Xiang gave me the feeling of being relieved that I didn't have to worry about my poor ability to express myself.

"I'll take you to find Xiangzi."

I followed him, although I still didn't know why Xiangzi chose to work here, I would just ask Xiangzi directly later.

Mu walked very slowly, but Qingchuan Xiang also walked very slowly, so it didn't matter, he didn't need to rush to catch up. But as he walked, Mu felt that the water curtain on Qingchuan Xiang in front of him was getting thicker and thicker, and Xiang seemed to be deviating from the direction he wanted to go at the beginning.

Mu stopped and trusted his intuition. Xiang's disguise had become more serious. Did she not want him to see Xiangzi?

Mu didn't know why this happened suddenly. Xiao Huanggua could only try to apply his own thoughts to think about why he didn't want others to see Xiangzi's current state.

Qingchuan Xiang seemed to find that he had stopped, although Xiang's expression was still gentle and enthusiastic, as if he was puzzled as to why he had stopped.

But Mu knew that she was spying on him. A cold, inquiring gaze pierced through the increasingly spreading water.

"What's wrong? It stopped suddenly." The voice coming from under the water curtain was not distorted, but seemed more gentle, making people feel close to Qingchuan Xiang.

Mu was a little envious of Qingchuan Xiang's ability to speak so well.

"I am Xiangzi's other half."

The figure covered by the water curtain was looking back at him. After hearing Mu's somewhat confusing but actually very straightforward words, he did not react any further. However, a lot of the water that had originally gushed out was retracted.

"Is this so? I understand."

Qingchuan Xiang still understood what he meant.

This time I took the right route. I saw Xiangzi, who seemed a little surprised by my arrival.

"Mu, why are you here so early? Didn't we agree to come back at noon? I still have work to do here.

"Sorry, Mu, could you please find a place to sit here for a while and read a book or something? My break time is still about two hours away."

Xiangzi is more relaxed now than before. Mu thought as he watched Xiangzi in his work uniform, as if the huge burden that had been hanging around him was gone.

Is it because of Xiang?

"Mu, why don't you go to the coffee shop next door and order a mango juice while I wait for you? That's Xiaoxiang's shop. Xiang, can you give Mu my employee benefits of free drinks this week?"

"Yeah, no problem." Qingchuan Xiang agreed happily. Mu found that when he was talking to Xiangzi, the water curtain on Xiang's body seemed to have been reduced a lot, and he could even vaguely see the outline of Xiang's whole body.

Mu wondered when Xiangzi and Xiang became so close. When he came to his senses, he had unknowingly followed Qingchuan Xiang to the coffee shop next door and was guided to sit at a small table.

"Xiao Mu should still order mango juice, right?" Qingchuan Xiang asked himself with a smile - after coming to this store here, Xiang seemed to be much more at ease. The originally heavy water curtain turned into a flowing coat in the shape of a roughly human being. It seemed as if the figure under the water curtain was only a little bit away from being seen, but no matter what, this last flow of water was diligently covering up everything about Xiang.

Mu looked at Qingchuan Xiang, wondering what their relationship was now. Did Xiang not want him to see Xiangzi? Had she become Xiangzi's half? If so, why was she still pretending to be Xiangzi?

Mu opened his mouth. If it was Qingchuan Xiang, it should be okay to ask directly, right?

"Xiang, why do you have to disguise yourself?"

"..."

Ah, it's broken.

The originally constantly flowing water curtain suddenly became agitated as if boiling, then quickly calmed down and solidified. The water source, no longer flowing, gradually broke and peeled off.

Qingchuan Xiang's face was revealed, with his pearly gray hair tied up in a bun, and he was wearing an exquisite shirt, vest, and tie. His smile, though a little stiff, was still very charming, and his blue eyes seemed to hide a sea a hundred times more turbulent than the water curtain.

This time, I seem to have said the wrong thing again.

Chapter 57: Loss of composure

In an instant, Qingchuan Xiang's expression disappeared without a trace, his movements froze like a rusty machine, and his kind smile no longer had any warmth.

She was still like water, a pool of lifeless, still, inorganic stagnant water. Mu's mind conjured up this image.

But it was only for a moment, Qingchuan Xiang immediately restored his previous casual appearance, but also strictly abided by the etiquette of a bartender, and bowed slightly:

"Okay, a glass of mango juice, please wait a moment."
