Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

Although I don't know why Su Shi has been controlling her tone and seems to be pretending something, but judging from her actions rather than her heart, Su Shi's care for the band members, even if it is deliberate, shows that she has carefully observed the team members.

Look, she even remembered to order a drink for me. How could she be a bad person?

Qingchuan Xiang's house was not far from RiNG, otherwise he wouldn't have taken Xiangzi home directly before. Soon he arrived at the door of RiNG and saw Su Shihe sitting at the bar from a distance... Mu?

"Good morning, good afternoon and good night, Su Shi, Mu." Qingchuan Xiang was in a good mood and his greetings were a little awkward, but he still managed to control the expression on his face.

"Good afternoon, Xiaoxiang." Although Su Shi's brows were still a little frowned, she still smiled. "This is Earl Grey tea for you."

Not right.

Qingchuan Xiang blinked. Su Shi's voice tone was more shrill than before. Although it was shrill but cute before, it now even made Qingchuan Xiang feel a little harsh and uncomfortable.

Is the pretense thickening? Is Su Shi so devoted to Xiang Zi that she's like this just because she left the group?

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Ruoye Mu who was sitting quietly beside him. As expected, he had no expression, no movements, and no words as usual. He shouldn't have thought that he could easily get clues from Mu.

Qingchuan Xiang took the black tea, took a sip carefully, and waited for Su Shi to speak first.

"Xiao Xiang, did Xiangzi tell us specifically why her family stopped her from continuing to participate in the band?"

"No, even though I asked him several times, Xiangzi just said it was family pressure, and in the end he just told me not to ask any more questions."

"But we've all been forming a band for over a month and even held a live show together. Why are we suddenly not allowed to continue?"

"I don't know." Qingchuan Xiang adhered to the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, and insisted on giving a high-quality answer.

"But what would the band do without Xiangzi..."

It seems that Xiangzi still occupies the highest position in Su Shi's heart.

It seems that this problem cannot be solved as easily as I thought before. I should try to mention the other members of the band to let Su Shi realize that there are still people willing to accompany her.

"By the way, where are Deng and Lixi? Have they gone back yet?"

"Deng... After Xiangzi said he wanted to quit the group, she started crying and said it was all her fault, then ran away. Ah, but I don't think Deng did anything wrong. It's just that everyone was a little emotional at the time and said some impulsive things."

Ok?

"And Li Xi also rushed out, probably to comfort Deng. After all, there was a conflict... Obviously, no one was wrong, so why couldn't they sit down and have a good talk?"

what?

What?

Why does it feel like Xiangzi has run away, and your band seems to be really about to break up?

Chapter 08: A Farce with a Sentimental Ending

Qingchuan Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip, mainly to shut up his mouth that was about to raise questions.

I had underestimated the impact Xiangzi's departure would have on everyone. I had thought the remaining five of us could still carry on, but we couldn't even make it through the first day.

Sushi probably wanted Crychic to continue, but if Deng and Li Xi were gone, it wouldn't be something she could replace. Even Qingchuan Xiang couldn't play the keyboard and drums and sing at the same time...

As for Mu's thoughts... I don't know, not at all. Honestly, seeing Mu here was beyond Qingchuan Xiang's expectations. As Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart, shouldn't I be the most likely person to leave first because Xiangzi quits the team?

Qingchuan Xiang remained calm and secretly glanced at Ruoye Mu while drinking tea. He found that although she still had no expression and was still sitting there obediently, her eyes were always on Su Shi.

Emm, maybe, possibly, probably, Mu fell in love with Sushi during the month at CRYCHIC. So that's why he stayed with Sushi?

Not daring to make any hasty judgment, Qingchuan Xiang took another sip, this time to let the tea act as a coolant for his brain, making his mind work faster - but when it came to thinking about emotional issues, Qingchuan Xiang always felt that his genius brain was not enough.

After taking a sip of tea, Qingchuan Xiang once again went over the information he had learned in just a few hours in his mind, and then came to a conclusion: there was a lack of clues.

These missing clues are no longer visible for observation, but are hidden in everyone's heart, a sea of emotions that has always been difficult for them to step into, and even if they actively show it to themselves, they cannot see it clearly.

Even though she got the chance to know Xiangzi's thorny self-esteem by chance, this emotion had no effect on the continuation of CRYCHIC. It itself was the culprit that destroyed CRYCHIC.

It seems that CRYCHIC is really coming to an end.

Just like a cup of water that was accidentally knocked over, it's too late to recover. Qingchuan Xiang is not the kind of person who would even worry about whether he should lick up the water that was spilled on the ground... probably not.

Qingchuan Xiang put down the water cup in his hand and looked at Su Shi again. Although the band could not continue, they could still continue to be friends.

"If even Deng and Lixi leave, then the band..."

“CRYCHIC will definitely continue!”

It was interrupted forcefully.

Su Shi suddenly burst into tears, her facial features becoming distorted and ferocious, marring her otherwise beautiful face. Although she tried to suppress it, the sudden rise in volume still attracted the attention of many passersby.

"...I'm sorry, Xiang, I shouldn't have done this." Su Shi immediately realized that she had just lost control, and a wave of powerless despair suddenly surged in her heart. Xiangzi had already left, and Dengdeng and Lixi now seemed unwilling to stay in the band. Now, was she going to push Xiang away with her own hands?

"I'm sorry, Xiang, please don't leave... okay?"

"Su Shi..." Mu turned his head slightly and looked at Su Shi who lowered his head. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his lips tightly closed.

Qingchuan Xiang looked at the two people in front of her who seemed to be gradually losing their pressure. She tried her best to find a situation that corresponded to their behavior from all the experiences she had seen and observed in the past.

But Qingchuan Xiang had never seen anyone behave so...heavy before. They were clearly just students and it was just a band that had been formed for a month, but they were trying to stay so humbly.

What kind of strong emotions does this behavior represent? Qingchuan Xiang wants to explore, analyze, and understand...

However, the most important thing to do now is to soothe Su Shi's mind and calm her down. Her chaotic emotions will undoubtedly not help her observation.

The sound of someone getting up from their chair was heard, causing Su Shi, who was lowering his head, to shudder suddenly, and then began to tremble more and more uncontrollably.

Lian Xiang is about to leave... This time it was even caused by his own hands.

My vision gradually blurred, tears gradually filled my eyes, and everything in front of me became blurry and distorted.

Finally, a tear could no longer bear the pressure and fell, but was caught by a hand that stretched out from the side.

"Su Shi." A calm, yet reassuring, cold voice came from right beside his ear, so close, "Look at me, I'm here."

Su Shi turned his neck with difficulty and looked to his side. Qingchuan Xiang, who was originally sitting opposite him, stood up and walked over, squatted beside him, and looked up at him with a gentle smile.

Qingchuan Xiang gently took up Su Shi's right hand, which was originally rubbing each other anxiously on his thighs, and then gently held it with his own hands.

Su Shi felt a warm, wet sensation in her palm. It was the tear that had fallen earlier. Though it had been a tear of pure sorrow, it now became a warm color that filled the emptiness in Su Shi's heart.

In addition to the warmth, there was more of the gentle touch of Qingchuan Xiang's cool and delicate hands on her skin, just like reaching into a gurgling stream, brushing away her uneasiness.

The tears in Su Shi's eyes gathered again, but this time they were completely different from before.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Why didn't I realize before that you can cry so much, Su Shi?"

If she continued crying like this, Qingchuan Xiang was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and suddenly lick her... Such a rash and strange behavior would probably scare Su Shi directly, and ruin her hard-earned stable interpersonal relationship.

But Su Shi seemed unable to control himself for a while, and Qingchuan Xiang used his amazing wisdom and decided to turn a blind eye to it. He stretched out his arms, hugged Su Shi with some strength, and leaned his head lightly on Su Shi's shoulder.

This way, you don’t have to worry about not being able to control yourself. After all, Su Shi can’t see your face, and you can’t see Su Shi either.

However, this over-the-shoulder perspective now allowed Qingchuan Xiang to see the previously silent Mutou Ren.

Qingchuan Xiang blinked and kept lip-syncing to Mu, calling her. Mu quickly noticed and understood what Qingchuan Xiang meant.

Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand, and moved his body slowly and awkwardly to Su Shi's side, and then they hugged Su Shi awkwardly.

Surrounded by clear water and cucumber flowers, Su Shi finally couldn't control her tears anymore. She burst into tears and sobbed softly.

This should help Su Shi temporarily forget the pain caused by the disintegration of CRYCHIC, right?

Qingchuan Xiang patted Su Shi's body, which was twitching due to sobbing. "Don't cry, don't cry, I really can't hold it back anymore..."

A heartwarming farce, Qingchuan Xiang recalls the way his mother once hugged him, and faithfully plays the role that best suits the current situation.

Chapter 09 Give some time

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu." After crying for a while, Su Shi gradually vented her pent-up emotions and calmed down. Although there was still a hint of tears in her voice, she said, "I'm fine now."

"Really?" Qingchuan Xiang joked, "Wipe your tears well, don't let me see your face full of clowns later, I won't be able to help but... laugh."

The three of them were still hugging each other. Su Shi raised her hand and gently tapped Xiang's back to fight back against Qingchuan Xiang's teasing, but it was too gentle and it seemed like she was just playing.

Qingchuan Xiang loosened his arms, and Mu also realized it a little later and loosened his arms, sitting back in the seats they had just been sitting in.

The moment they let go, Su Shi had the urge to pull the two of them back together, but he quickly suppressed it, and instead some complicated thoughts came to his mind.

Although I felt comforted and warmed by the company of the two at that time, I actually felt a little resentful at the beginning.

If Qingchuan Xiang hadn't been late today, with her clear logic and reassuringly stable mentality, would she have been able to convince Xiangzi not to quit the team? Even if it was just to convince Xiangzi to sit down and have a good talk.

And Xiao Mu... Su Shi still feels a little heartbroken when she thinks of Mu's figure with his back to everyone and the sentence "I never felt happy in the band".

After Qingchuan Xiang sat back in his seat, he saw that Su Shi's brows were still slightly wrinkled and had not relaxed. He must have still been obsessed with something.

It wasn't surprising. Judging from Su Shi's previous heavy expression, the feelings he had for CRYCHIC wouldn't be so easily dispelled.

Beautiful memories should not be completely forgotten. The white moonlight left in the heart is beautiful after all.

But Su Shi clings to the past, which is gradually becoming a phantom, and refuses to let go. Xiangzi, on the other hand, simply cuts off everything from the past.

Qingchuan Xiang thinks you two are too extreme.jpg

"Su Shi, what are your plans now?" Qingchuan Xiang asked tentatively, "Do you still want to bring everyone back and continue running CRYCHIC?"

"Well, I can't accept that CRYCHIC ends in such an unclear way." Su Shi's tone calmed down, and even his usually controlled tone relaxed, revealing a bit of Su Shi's true voice.

Although I still want to win back CRYCHIC, my attitude has to be much softer. It seems that a direct hug is still effective.

Even Qingchuan Xiang, even if she was hugged by someone, would understand that the other person had good intentions towards her, because the action of hugging itself contains a certain warmth.

Su Shi continued, "I'm going to find Xiangzi. Even if she quit the band because of family pressure, I want to hear the reason from her own mouth...

"And if it was just family pressure, why couldn't Xiangzi just tell us directly?"

Yes! That’s right!

Qingchuan Xiang took a sip of black tea angrily.

Even after Qingchuan Xiang knew about Xiangzi's stubborn self-esteem, he still didn't understand: Even if you don't want your former teammates to see your miserable appearance with pity, why don't you make up a reason to make them feel at ease?

Although I don't know what Xiangzi said exactly at that time, the result that Qingchuan Xiang saw now was that Deng thought it was all his fault and ran away, and Li Xi ran with Deng. Su Shi found it difficult to accept that she didn't get a reasonable explanation. As for Mu...

Don't know what to think.

Well, although I don’t know what Xiao Mu is thinking, but at least for now, compared to the others, the always quiet Xiao Mu is the least worrying one... You shouldn’t have any minefields waiting for me, right?

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Mu again. After Su Shi said that she still wanted to find Xiangzi, Mu's lips were kept tightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't hold it back.

Mu, should also know the real reason why Xiangzi quit the team. Qingchuan Xiang still remembers Xiangzi once said that she and Mu were childhood sweethearts, and there was some connection between the two families.

He wanted to tell Su Shi, but Xiangzi ordered him not to tell anyone... Being caught between these two twisted guys, Mu must have felt bad.

"So where are you going to find Xiangzi? Even though you and Xiangzi are both in Tsuki no Mori, summer vacation is almost here, so you won't be able to find him at school."

"Then it's on the line..."

“What if she simply doesn’t even read the message?

"And if you want to go to Xiangzi's house to look for her, even if you know where Xiangzi lives, Xiangzi said that she was under pressure from her family. Will the Toyokawa family, a member of your band, let you in?"

Su Shi closed her mouth. She really wanted to ask Mu to tell her where Xiangzi's home was and then go there.

Then just ask Xiaomu directly if she knows about Xiangzi. They are childhood sweethearts, so Xiaomu should know something.

"Pa pa." Qingchuan Xiang suddenly clapped his hands, and the crisp sound brought Su Shi back from his thoughts.

"I can guess what you're thinking. If Xiaomu knew, wouldn't she be unwilling to tell you? Don't embarrass her."

If Su Shi asked, and Xiao Mu couldn't help but tell Su Shi about Xiangzi's current situation, Xiangzi would be furious; on the contrary, if Mu tried to hide it... Qingchuan Xiang felt that with Mu's style, he would definitely remain silent. In that case, in Su Shi's eyes, it would mean that Mu knew something but didn't want to tell her, which would have revealed something.

Qingchuan Xiang quickly made a judgment based on his own experience: If he wanted to continue to maintain a normal interpersonal relationship atmosphere here, the best choice would be to cover up for Xiaomu.

Seeing Su Shi being somewhat overwhelmed by the repeated rejection of his plans, Qingchuan Xiang also put forward his own opinions in time and continued to induce Su Shi:

"You need to calm down now, Sushi. Go take a hot shower, pour yourself a cup of hot tea, anything. You're not in the best shape right now.

"Even if you can't come up with a good idea right now, won't you be able to find Xiangzi when the new semester comes?"

Qingchuan Xiang didn't think that Xiangzi could still go to the Moon Forest. This was just a delaying tactic. It would take time for Su Shi to let go of his obsession or for him to get to know the band members better.

Su Shi nodded, as if he was convinced, and smiled again, "Maybe I should have a good rest today."

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

After finishing their black tea, Xiang, Su Shi, and Mu walked out of RiNG together. Qingchuan Xiang, who was not traveling with them, waved to them and prepared to say goodbye.

Just as he turned around, Su Shi called his name. Qingchuan Xiang looked back and saw the setting sun shining on Su Shi's face, which was embellished with her long, smooth flaxen hair, making her look particularly gentle.

"Xiang, will you always stay with me?"

"of course."

Qingchuan Xiang agreed without hesitation.
