Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Xiangzi was not in a hurry. She had originally planned to wait for Qingchuan Xiang to come back and then ask her. She had already expected that Qingchuan Xiang would leave the classroom after the last class. This had become a pattern.

She also knew what Qingchuan Xiang was going to do when he went out. Or rather, what else could it be? Since he drank so much water every day, he must have gone to the toilet.

Rather, it was incredible to Xiangzi that Qingchuan Xiang, with her water intake up to now, could drink most of her big bottle of water by sipping it one sip at a time, even in a single class. Yet, she had never raised her hand to ask the teacher to go to the toilet in class.

It seems that Qingchuan Xiang has completely understood his own body, when to drink how much water, and how long he can guarantee to control it without any sudden emergency accidents...

Xiangzi was secretly complaining in his heart, and somewhat maliciously guessed whether Qingchuan Xiang had ever been in a very embarrassing situation in the past, although he could not imagine that Qingchuan Xiang's face would show an embarrassed expression for such a boring reason.

Even though she drank a lot of water, Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to spend too much time in the toilet. After all, Xiao Xiang was not like the other girls who liked to go to the toilet together.

It's not that no one invited Qingchuan Xiang to go with them, but for Qingchuan Xiang, although he has been controlling his water intake, he is always stuck at a similar threshold. If he really wants to go to the toilet slowly with others, maybe... Qingchuan Xiang needs to drink less water during class.

So Xiangzi soon waited for Qingchuan Xiang to return to the classroom.

After Qingchuan Xiang returned to his seat, Xiangzi finally asked, "Have you, Xiao Deng, and Aiyin formed a band?"

"Huh? How did you know about forming a band?"

"Actually, I ran into Aine yesterday, and she asked me if I wanted to join her band," Xiangzi explained. "And on the first day of school, didn't you say you'd tell Aine about CRYCHIC? Since we're talking about that, I'm sure we've also talked about bands."

"Yeah." Qingchuan Xiang had no intention of denying or hiding this matter. "Aine really wants to be the center of attention. She wants to follow the trend and form a band like everyone else at school. As for Xiao Deng, I think giving her the opportunity to sing on stage again would be very beneficial to her. She's also really eager to form a band."

Although the idea of forming a band was a bit too heavy, wanting it to last a lifetime, Qingchuan Xiang thought secretly.

"Let's form a band for fun..." Xiangzi whispered, and fell silent for a moment, "That would be great."

"I thought you'd think Aine's ideas were superficial or something. After all, even in the past, you didn't see CRYCHIC as just a band, but as a community with a shared destiny."

Qingchuan Xiang's expression was quite serious, and he directly said what Xiangzi had said in the past that was naive and immature. However, this serious look made Xiangzi feel even more embarrassed, and he had the urge to cover his face.

"Don't talk about the past anymore."

"Huhu, you consider your past shameful remarks as black history? Congratulations, Xiaoxiang, on graduating from your Chuunibyou."

Xiangzi glared at Qingchuan Xiang fiercely, but Xiang didn't care and continued to laugh softly.

"That's enough." Xiangzi said with a slight frown, "So, why do you want to form a band?"

"Well..." Qingchuan Xiang scratched his face, "I didn't join their band."

Xiangzi raised an eyebrow, clearly having not expected this. "Although I can't quite imagine why you'd need to join the band, wouldn't Xiao Deng want you to join the band too? She's... quite dependent on others. If it were just Aine-san, she probably wouldn't be able to take that step."

"Isn't it because of what you said to her that day? It helped Xiao Deng a lot, although it's still so, um, awkward."

"Don't try to divert attention by bringing this up on me. Tell me what you think."

"Why are you so curious about my thoughts?"

In order to get to know you better, and for the future, maybe I can invite Qingchuan Xiang to join my plan again, although it is just an idea at present and there is no actual plan.

Xiangzi didn't answer, but just looked at her.

"Xiangzi is too difficult to deal with. If it were Xiaodeng, he would have been hesitating and not knowing how to answer." Qingchuan Xiang did not hide the fact that he was trying to divert attention. Because he had a certain understanding of Xiangzi, he knew what kind of way of getting along with him would not offend him, so he would become more casual.

Raising his hands slightly in a gesture of surrender, Qingchuan Xiang continued, "Although it sounds condescending, one of the reasons is that if I join the band, it will make it difficult for Deng to truly grow."

Xiangzi nodded. It was indeed foreseeable that if Deng was with Qingchuan Xiang, he would definitely be very dependent on Qingchuan Xiang.

However, this is not enough to be a decisive reason, because even if Qingchuan Xiang also joined the band, she could simply let it go, and it has nothing to do with whether she joined the band or not.

Xiangzi was keenly aware of this, so she still did not shift her gaze away from Qingchuan Xiang, waiting for Qingchuan Xiang to give her a real explanation.

Qingchuan Xiang sighed, truly admitting defeat. "The second reason is that Deng and I are not compatible. The stable 'lifetime' she desires makes me feel... stuck, and that makes me very uneasy."

Chapter 24 Band Members

Unable to move forward and feel uneasy?

This answer was indeed somewhat unexpected to Xiangzi. Xiangzi's intuition told her that this might involve some things hidden deep in Qingchuan Xiangnai's heart.

Xiangzi did not rush to ask what the uneasiness meant. If it was really as his intuition thought, and this involved some secrets about Qingchuan Xiang, then even if he asked, Xiang would start to avoid the subject again as before, and she would naturally tell him when she wanted to say it.

"Afraid that Deng will cling to you...what do you mean?" Xiangzi then turned to ask about the first half of Qingchuan Xiang's sentence. "Although Xiao Deng is very dependent on others, it shouldn't be to the point of using the word 'cling to you,' right?"

As a result, after hearing Xiangzi's question, Qingchuan Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at Xiangzi.

How dare you ask this question? Who do you think made Xiao Deng even more anxious than before? You gave her a beautiful life and then destroyed it with your own hands.

In other words, he knew that this was not Xiangzi's original intention, otherwise Qingchuan Xiang would have rolled his eyes right now.

"That day, Xiao Deng almost killed me on the spot. He even tried to kidnap me. This kid's thoughts are really heavy. He always puts his whole heart on the line. It's really a bit unbearable."

Execution on the spot, trafficking, heavy burden, all of it... ?

One after another, words that seemed completely inappropriate for a high school girl, especially a girl as petite as Xiaodeng, came out of Qingchuan Xiang's mouth, making Xiangzi wonder for a moment whether she was talking about the topic they had just discussed.

"What happened that day?" Xiangzi asked curiously. She thought Xiang was just joking again.

Seeing Xiangzi's curious and inquiring eyes, Qingchuan Xiang knew that she didn't take his words seriously, and said unhappily: "You really should go and experience it for yourself, it will definitely give you endless surprises."

This made Xiangzi even more curious. In Xiangzi's heart, Deng Ke was still the magical girl who was introverted and dared not communicate with the outside world, but had a surging and active inner world and an unparalleled ability to turn it into lyrics.

However, although he was curious, Xiangzi still would not take the initiative to approach the lamp.

"Okay, back to the original question. How is Aine-san and Tomo's band doing now?"

"We're still looking for band members, but Xiao Deng is busy these days getting into the astronomy club, and Aine seems to be focusing on studying. She said the first few days are crucial for determining the efficiency of the next few semesters. We don't have the energy to find band members yet, so we can only look among the people in our classes or those we know."

Although Qingchuan Xiang said that she would not join the band, it was not a lie that she promised to always be with them. She has been communicating with Aine and Deng frequently these days.

“I see. No wonder Aine-san asked me if I wanted to join the band when she saw me…”

"Hmm." Qingchuan Xiang seemed to remember something and sighed again, "After Xiao Deng was rejected by me the first time, although he was no longer as excited when he saw me later, he still kept trying to get me to agree to join the band."

After meeting, the first thing he would do is look up at me with his wet amber eyes like a little animal. Although he was afraid of being rejected, he still mustered up the courage to ask me again, and then felt lost again.

What was different from before was that Xiao Deng seemed to be able to cheer himself up only in this matter. After a while, he began to work hard to make himself agree, and even began to learn some little tricks in his speeches.

Although her seduction techniques seemed to be just a show-off and clumsy and cute in Qingchuan Xiang's eyes, it was such a flawed deception that revealed Xiaodeng's sincere heart even more.

Qingchuan Xiang is unable to distinguish emotions, but he is not a heartless person. If this goes on for a long time, Qingchuan Xiang is really worried that he will become soft-hearted one day.

"So now I plan to quickly help them find all the band members. After they start band activities, maybe Xiao Deng will be busy with it and ignore me."

Xiangzi watched Qingchuanxiang helplessly start drinking water again, and he had already guessed what Qingchuanxiang was going to do next: "Are you going to go find Lixi and Sushi?"

This time it was Qingchuan Xiang's turn to be sharp: "Mu is not okay?"

"Xiao Mu's family is quite strict. I was the one who agreed to let Mu come to CRYCHIC. Besides..." Xiangzi's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, "I may have overlooked Mu's thoughts at the time."

"If Xiao Mu really can't join, that's fine. Aine can play guitar, so there won't be a situation where the band is without a guitar. Add in Su Shi and Li Xi's bass and drums, and we'll have a complete band."

"Those two should really want to form a band again." As if remembering something, Xiangzi took out his cell phone from his schoolbag.

Cell phones are not allowed in Tsuki no Mori. Besides, as a good student, Xiangzi would not take out her cell phone during school hours even when she arrived at Hanaoka, so she kept it in her bag from beginning to end.

"Wow, a message bombardment." Qingchuan Xiang saw the main interface of Line that Xiangzi showed him, and saw the number of messages sent by Nagasaki Suye, which needed an extra + to indicate it.

"That's right. If you can let Su Shi rejoin the band, I should be able to have some peace and quiet here." Xiangzi rubbed her brows. Obviously, this large amount of information made her quite unsure of how to deal with it.

Qingchuan Xiang's own file wall appeared in his mind and began to review it. Although he had only been in contact with Su Shi for a short period of time during the holidays, the sense of belonging to the band that Su Shi showed was arguably the strongest among everyone.

"Su Shi, she should be willing to join the band. It seems that joining the band can meet some of her needs." Qingchuan Xiang didn't dare to guarantee Su Shi, who still knew very little about her, but for Li Xi...

"Lixi will want to join the band, there's no problem with that."

"how about you?"

"Ask this again, didn't I just tell you everything?"

Xiangzi shook his head. "What I mean is, putting aside the influence of your teammates, what are your thoughts on band activities themselves? I want to know."

"Hmm~ Xiangzi, are you planning to invite me to form a band?" Qingchuan Xiang thought for a moment. "Unfortunately, bands don't really appeal to me. If possible, I'd rather stay behind my little bar and be my bartender."

"But..." Qingchuan Xiang changed the subject, "Just like I promised Xiao Deng, if you ever want to form a band again, I can come and help you, just like we agreed."

Chapter 25: Strange Arrangement

Soon, the day's classes passed and school ended early at around three o'clock. Then it was time for the students to have club time.

"Then I'll leave first too?" Qingchuan Xiang carried her schoolbag. She had hardly taken anything out of the bag all day, so when Qingchuan Xiang stood up, Xiangzi was still sitting in his seat packing his books.

"Should Xiangzi go directly to the bookstore?"

"Yeah." Xiangzi responded casually and looked at Qingchuan Xiang who was standing there - she took off the yellow vest on the outside of her school uniform. During school hours, she could still respect the active principal who was checking everywhere, but now after the bell rang, the first thing she did was to take off the vest and throw it into her bag, leaving only the white shirt.

Xiangzi couldn't blame her for this anymore. After all, Qingchuan Xiang did wait until after class to be "untidy".

"Xiang, do you hate this school uniform? From the first day of school until now, you seem to want to take off that vest whenever you have the chance." But Xiangzi couldn't help but asked.

"This one?" Qingchuan Xiang looked down at the thin clothes on her body, spread her arms and turned around to show Xiangzi this white shirt, which was not tight but could barely outline the youthful body lines of a high school girl.

The white shirt was so transparent that Xiangzi could even see the bra slightly showing underneath. Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang was quite simple in her choice of clothing in this regard and wore a white sports bra. Otherwise, even if it was after school, Xiangzi would definitely not be able to resist rushing up and putting the vest back on Qingchuan Xiang.

It's really too immoral! Xiangzi, who has been educated by a young lady since childhood, really doesn't like it. Doesn't Qingchuan Xiang know that this will attract others to look at her with such obscene eyes!

It was a pity that Qingchuan Xiang couldn't hear Xiangzi's inner voice. She explained to Xiangzi the reason for taking off her clothes: "It's just that it's very hot. Look, even though I've been staying in the classroom and not moving much, I've already sweated a little."

"I remember you said before that you have a lot of fluid in various places where water comes out, right?"

"Oh... Xiangzi's way of speaking is so strange. What do you mean by 'the place where the water comes out'? How rude."

I haven't even told you that you're behaving improperly or violating moral standards, and you're already accusing me! Xiangzi's hands were so raw that veins popped out. Qingchuanxiang's ability to shift the blame was as adept as her ability to talk about other things.

"Ha..." Xiangzi sighed. He only made this move when facing Qingchuan Xiang, because he really had no way to deal with the other party. "I just want to remind you that a girl still has to protect herself well."

There was another part of the sentence Xiangzi didn't dare to say out loud: "You're easily... "

"Okay okay."

"Don't answer with repetitive words; it makes you seem so casual and perfunctory!"

"Yes! Ma'am!" Qingchuan Xiang suddenly stood at attention, put on a very serious expression, and spoke confidently, looking a hundred times more energetic!

This immediately attracted the attention of all the students who had not left the classroom yet, and they looked at Qingchuan Xiang standing at attention in front of Xiangzi.

"You'd better leave quickly, you're not acting like a proper person." Xiangzi turned his head away, hiding the smile he could barely suppress, "I'm leaving too."

"Huff, huff, I'm leaving now!" Qingchuan Xiang received the order and left the classroom first.

Qingchuan Xiang did not leave the school directly. After walking out of the teaching building, he turned around and walked towards the club activity building.

Qingchuan Xiang herself did not end up signing up for any club, even though many classmates invited her to join a club with Xiang. Even a senior student who she knew in junior high school and was now in the culinary department tempted her by saying that if Xiang was willing to join, she could ask the teacher to add drink-related equipment to the club's activity kitchen.

I have to say that Qingchuan Xiang was really tempted. If it weren't for the band-related things, she might really participate.

And what Qingchuan Xiang is going to now is actually the Astronomy Club. Xiaodeng joined this department after that day. As for Aine, it seems that she has not found a club that interests her like herself, and is now also in the Homecoming Club.

The building where the Department of Astronomy is located is not the same activity building that Xiang Aiden and the other two visited on the first day of school, which is mainly for music-related departments. There are many more diverse clubs here. Along the way upstairs, as long as you peek into the corridors on both sides, you can see all kinds of activity props, paper-cuts, drying food, and even students sleeping in sleeping bags at the end of the corridor in the light and heat of the setting sun.

Is this a sleeping club or something? That sounds interesting.

"It's worthy of being the Astronomy Department. They chose the top floor. Is it to be closer to the stars?" Qingchuan Xiang's athletic ability is quite good. He climbed to the top floor in one breath without getting out of breath.

After finding the activity room with the Astronomy Club sign hanging next to the door, Qingchuan Xiang knocked on the door and then opened it. "I'm here, Aine, Xiao Deng."

The activity room of the Astronomy Department is a rather simple small room with a long sofa, a table against the wall, a few low cabinets containing astronomy-related books and records of past club activities of the Astronomy Department members, and a professional-looking telescope in the corner. These are all the items in the Astronomy Department.

And today there seems to be something extra here.

"Um... what are you doing?" Qingchuan Xiang opened the door and saw Aine and Xiaodeng, gathered in front of the sofa, each holding a blue plastic bottle filled with water. Xiaodeng had that cute expression on her face, as if she was doing something very important that could not be lost. As for Aine, it seemed as if she was pulled here by Xiaodeng. Although she was a little confused about why they did this, she thought it was very interesting so she followed suit.

"Xiao Xiang...!" "Xiao Xiang, you're finally here! Come here, come here!"

"What's going on?" The two of them were so mysterious, it really piqued Qingchuan Xiang's curiosity. It seemed like this was a surprise for him? Was he going to give himself some water? If that were the case, they wouldn't be so secretive, would they?

After casually throwing the schoolbag on the table in the activity room, Qingchuan Xiang walked closer and looked past the two of them. Only then did he realize that there were not only a few blue water bottles, one in each hand of Aiyin and Xiaodeng. There were more than a dozen identical water bottles placed on the sofa, and there was an empty space in the middle of these water bottles, just enough for one person to sit down.

There was no doubt that this empty seat was waiting for him to sit down.

This... Is this some kind of sacrificial formation targeting myself...?

----------

Chapter 26: Clumsy Calculation

Qingchuan Xiang leaned back slightly and took a step back calmly, away from the Aquarius magic circle that seemed to be aimed at him, but he had no idea what it was for.

"So, can you tell me what this is going to do?"

Qingchuan Xiang stood in place and began to think frantically, using his eyes to collect information around him, trying to figure out what these two people were trying to do to him.

But no matter how you look at it, those bottles of water seem to be just ordinary water, and there really isn't anything wrong with them.

"I'm not sure either. When I came to the activity room, Xiao Deng was already fiddling with these things and asked me to help." Aiyin showed her shiny little canine teeth and raised her hand to answer Qingchuan Xiang's question.

"So you do it here without knowing anything, and you're not afraid that it's a prank against you. It's like helping to count money after being sold!" Qingchuan Xiang pointed and confirmed in his heart that it was indeed Xiaodeng's idea. After all, it seems that only Xiaodeng, who is good at radio waves, can make him completely confused.
