Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"It would be great if Xiaoxiang is satisfied." Although Su Shi still had some trauma from the cold Xiaoxiang before, this Xiaoxiang looked completely different now, even a little silly, and it really made Su Shi feel a little happy just by looking at Xiaoxiang.

"Now we only need to wait a few minutes before we can prepare dinner. Before that, let me help Xiaoxiang dry her hair."

"It will do it by itself." Qingchuan Xiang seemed not very happy to blow dry her hair. She shook her head, and her loose hair was also shaken up. The water droplets splashed on her shoulders and wet her clothes.

"If you don't blow it dry properly, your head will catch a cold, and then you'll have a headache." Su Shi subconsciously used a tone of coaxing a child. Maybe she has always wanted to have such a lovely sister.

"Besides." Su Shi walked forward, put his hands on Qingchuan Xiang's shoulders, and gently exerted force. Xiang also followed the direction of Su Shi's force and turned around. "Sure enough, the collar behind Xiao Xiang's head has been wet by her hair. Isn't this uncomfortable?"

"Um...no."

Su Shi was speechless for a moment, then sighed with a helpless smile: "Ah, after all, Xiao Xiang doesn't like to dry her hands after washing them. She really likes water. But you still have to dry your hair well, okay?"

"Su Shi."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"You look like my mother."

Just looking at that sentence just now, Su Shi's patient and persuasive communication style, coupled with a natural hint of doting in her tone, really made her sound like a mother coaxing her child.

"Is it very strange...?" Su Shi blinked and started playing with her fingers again. She just treated Xiao Xiang in the same way as she always treated her somewhat childish mother, but she was actually evaluated that she was more like a mother in this way.

Back when I was in Tsuki no Mori, my classmates would occasionally tell me, "Moshi is really like a mother, she makes people feel very reliable." Even though I was only a junior high student back then, and even now I'm only in high school, I was still being told that I looked like a mother...

Qingchuan Xiang turned around again and stared at Su Shi. In terms of height, Su Shi was about the same height as Aine, about 3 or 4 centimeters taller than Qingchuan Xiang, so now Qingchuan Xiang was looking at Su Shi from a slightly upward angle.

In Qingchuan Xiang's opinion, Su Shi always plays the role of an older sister who brings a stable atmosphere and treats everyone gently. This unintentional expression of "maternity" is not only due to the independence that Su Shi has developed from being alone at home for a long time, but the biggest reason is that Su Shi hopes to be relied on and needed in this way, and thus get a feeling of "home".

But maybe Su Shi himself is the one who needs care the most.

Although Su Shi wasn't being looked down upon by Qingchuan Xiang, the constant staring from Xiao Xiang and the lack of a response still frightened her. She couldn't help but call out softly, "Xiao Xiang? What's wrong?"

"Su Shi, do you want to help blow-dry my hair?" Qingchuan Xiang directly pointed out the little thoughts in Su Shi's mind. To deal with Su Shi, rather than setting traps step by step like he did when dealing with Xiangzi, a direct shot might be much better.

"Huh?" Su Shi felt a little flustered when his inner thoughts were suddenly spoken out, and subconsciously wanted to wave his hand to deny it.

"Hoo hoo." Qingchuan Xiang's smile suddenly became teasing in Su Shi's eyes, "Sure enough, Su Shi is very much like her mother."

"Really, Xiaoxiang, stop teasing me..." Su Shi subconsciously wanted to add "like a bad kid", but immediately held the words back.

Qingchuan Xiang watched with interest the look on Su Shi's face as he had no way to deal with him. As expected, as long as Su Shi didn't bring up the matter of CRYCHIC, he would still be happy to get along with him.

But no matter how you think about it, you know that Qingchuan Xiang came to Su Shi's house today, and Su Shi would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with him to continue trying to persuade him.

Su Shi would probably choose to ask him indirectly why he didn't join a band during the most relaxing time, when he was eating.

Qingchuan Xiang has already thought it through. Since Su Shi has been saying "sit down and talk, tell us what's in your heart", then he might as well be more direct when the time comes - and express his dislike for Su Shi. Maybe this will directly shatter Su Shi's fantasy of reorganizing CRYCHIC.

"Sure, if Su Shi wants to help blow-dry my hair." Qingchuan Xiang gathered the hair on the back of his head with his hands, then lifted it up to show the volume of his hair. "It's troublesome to do it myself."

"..." Su Shi was confused at this time. What was going on? It was as if she really wanted to help Xiao Xiang blow dry her hair. She was not Xiao Xiang's mother...

"Can you help me, Sister Su Shi?" Qingchuan Xiang held her hair with her hands and pulled her pearl-gray hair in front of her body, covering her lower half. Although it was just a simple action, it made her look as if she was hiding shyly.

How to give people a different feeling just by using actions - one of Qingchuan Xiang's specialties.

!

Su Shi froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Although she changed to a lighter word like "sister", the meaning was almost the same.

This... How can I refuse this? Su Shi's whole body trembled: "Okay."

Chapter 41: The tangle hidden in the wind

Before helping Qingchuan Xiang blow her hair, Su Shi did not forget the vegetable minestrone soup that was cooking, and turned the stove to low heat to prevent it from overcooking.

When Su Shi took the hair dryer and returned to the living room, Xiao Xiang was already sitting upright on the sofa, waiting for Su Shi to come over.

If only I really had a sister like Xiaoxiang...

Su Shi couldn't help but think so.

But the reality is always not as expected. The only connection between Qingchuan Xiang and himself now is the former CRYCHIC. But now, Qingchuan Xiang seems to want to abandon even this only connection and is unwilling to form a band again.

Thinking of this, Su Shi clenched his hand holding the hair dryer.

No, no, Nagasaki Suyo, there is still a chance. Xiaoxiang happened to come home today. Isn’t this the best time to persuade her to come back?

Having secretly made up his mind, Su Shi walked forward and sat next to Qingchuan Xiang.

"Come on, Xiaoxiang, turn around."

Qingchuan Xiang followed Su Shi's words, pushed himself up, and turned his back defenselessly towards Su Shi.

Su Shi plugged in the hair dryer and put it aside. She put her hands over both sides of Qingchuan Xiang, then brought them together, gathered all of Xiaoxiang's loose hair into her hands, and finally lifted it up.

"Sure enough, a large area of the clothes behind Xiaoxiang is wet." Su Shi gathered her hair in one hand, and touched the back collar of Qingchuanxiang's shirt with the other hand. Every place she touched felt wet.

But...Xiaoxiang's skin is really white.

When she lifted her hair, Qingchuan Xiang's clean, white neck was naturally exposed. Su Shi had seen Qingchuan Xiang's neck before, because most of the time, Xiao Xiang would put her hair up, but this was the first time she had seen all of her parts so closely, especially after taking a bath.

Su Shi combed her pearl-gray hair. The soft texture of her hair allowed her to just stroke it down a few times to make it fit snugly in her hands, like a piece of silky cloth. She couldn't help but pinch a small strand of hair between her two fingers and rub it for a while.

The shampoo that Su Shi uses is also scented with gardenia. The fresh floral fragrance fills the air, reminding Su Shi of the incense she lights every day before going to bed, which makes her feel calm.

Where should Xiaoxiang sleep tonight?

Su Shi suddenly thought of this question which seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation.

There was naturally no shortage of guest rooms in Su Shi's house. All he needed to do was spend some time finding a bed and making up the bedding so Xiao Xiang could move in immediately.

However, there was a voice in Su Shi's heart that kept saying to herself: "Convince Xiao Xiang to sleep with me tonight——"

I hope to spend more time with Xiaoxiang at home, craving the warmth of family. It is like a person who has been traveling a long distance in the desert and has suffered a long drought and encounters the manna from heaven. I subconsciously want to crave more.

Will Xiaoxiang agree? When I "accidentally" hugged Qingchuanxiang before, it seemed that she didn't have much rejection of this kind of intimate contact. Maybe she would really agree?

Su Shi picked up the hair dryer that had been neglected for a while and turned it to the highest gear. A strong "woohoo" sound of the wind immediately sounded, so loud that it could cover up the nervous heartbeat of a person so that the person in front of him would not notice it.

------

When Qingchuan Xiang felt her hair being gently played with by Su Shi, she quietly enjoyed the feeling of Su Shi helping her to tidy and straighten her hair.

In fact, many people can't help but play with their hair after seeing it undone. After all, they always wear their hair up even at home, and even their elder sisters rarely see them with their hair loose.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Su Shi was the first person in the band to see his appearance?

On the rainy day when I picked up Xiangzi, although my later conversation with Xiangzi was about me taking a bath, I didn't wash my hair that time because I was worried about Xiangzi and didn't want to waste too much time.

But, had Su Shi been playing with her hair for a little too long? Perhaps she really was treating herself like her younger sister now, savoring the present moment.

Just like when Qingchuan Xiang’s only pursuit is “flow”, her obsession with this reaches an almost obsessive level.

Similarly, Qingchuan Xiang also extremely cherishes the family affection, which is almost the only thing he can understand clearly.

So when he confirmed that Su Shi longed for the company of her family, Qingchuan Xiang showed rare empathy.

Anyway, I don’t mind, so it doesn’t matter if I let Su Shi be willful.

Of course, it would be better if Su Shi, when playing with her hair, did not think of herself as Xiang during the CRYCHIC period, but focused on her current self.

Finally, Qingchuan Xiang felt the hand holding her hair stop, and then the "humming" sound of the hair dryer was heard.

But isn't the hair dryer turned up too high? Qingchuan Xiang thought with some worry.

Qingchuan Xiang takes good care of her hair, which can absolutely be called beautiful. The smoothness of her hair is definitely due to her usual intentional or unintentional protection.

Although he often gets caught in the rain, which seems to cause great damage to his hair, Qingchuan Xiang actually has a special waterproof hat in the style of a top hat. Only when he is really excited will he rush into the rain without even a rain hat.

Just as he was about to remind Su Shi that too much hot air might damage his hair, the whistling wind from behind suddenly mixed with Su Shi's voice, which became distorted and difficult to hear:

"Xiao Xiang——,——"

"Su Shi, what did you say?" Qingchuan Xiang raised his voice a little and wanted to turn around, but because his hair was held up by Su Shi, he couldn't turn his head properly.

Although it was very subtle, Qingchuan Xiang could feel that Su Shi's movements paused for a short moment. Qingchuan Xiang had seen this state of wanting to say something but stopping too many times. Even if he didn't turn his head, she could judge it by the extremely brief pause.

Su Shi definitely has some ideas in her mind now, but she is worried whether Qingchuan Xiang will agree with this idea.

Su Shi pursed her lips and turned down the speed of the hair dryer. Although the wind was still very loud, it was enough for Qingchuan Xiang to hear Su Shi's vague words.

Su Shi knew that he could turn off the hair dryer before asking Xiao Xiang, but perhaps only under the cover of such a loud wind could he dare to say what he wanted to say, as if by relying on this method, even if he was rejected in the end, he would not be too sad.

Chapter 42: Stop Talking About This

"Xiao Xiang, can you...sleep with me tonight?"

The noise of the hair dryer hummed persistently in this large space, and the volume was just enough for Qingchuan Xiang to barely hear Su Shi's words.

At the same time, he concealed the implicit trembling in Su Shi's voice, and hid Su Shi's humble fear of being rejected in the sound of the wind.

Even Qingchuan Xiang found it difficult to discern the hesitation in Su Shi's heart from the noise source right behind his ear.

Is this the question Su Shi really wants to ask? Qingchuan Xiang doubted it.

"of course can."

Without any hesitation, Qingchuan Xiang immediately gave an answer.

This was not a big deal for Qingchuan Xiang. Sleeping with a girl of the same age, who was also a friend he knew well, was nothing to him.

What is important to Qingchuan Xiang is that what Su Shi sees at this moment, is it himself, or CRYCHIC who is looking through himself into the past?

So Qingchuan Xiang asked the question again: "Su Shi, do you like me?"

Perhaps it was because he had the cover of the hair dryer this time, and because he had just successfully asked a somewhat embarrassing question, this successful experience gave Su Shi some courage, and this time Su Shi quickly answered:

"I... probably do like Xiaoxiang."

Qingchuan Xiang tried hard to prick up his ears, but apart from the sound of the wind, Su Shi's own voice had also become much softer, as if he was not used to expressing his feelings so directly.

But Qingchuan Xiang felt something when she listened to it. It was like Su Shi's voice. She no longer had the controlled tone she had before. Although it was still soft, it was no longer so shrill.

Is it because the voice is lowered that it is naturally difficult to maintain the tone of the voice?

"Probably?"

"This question is really embarrassing, Xiaoxiang. Expressing your love so directly..."

Is it so embarrassing to admit that you like someone else?

Qingchuan Xiang couldn't understand. Like, admiration, love... these words made her feel like she was wrapped in a fog.

Qingchuan Xiang suddenly doubted his previous thoughts. Did Su Shi really regard him as her sister?

Because in Qingchuan Xiang's cognition, even if liking someone is really difficult to say, but can't the love between family members be said openly?

In Qingchuan Xiang's home, although they often fight and insult each other, they are never shy when expressing their love for each other.

If her sister wants to hear it, Qingchuan Xiang can immediately say "I like you" no matter what the situation.

But since Su Shi is really not good at expressing her emotions, Qingchuan Xiang can understand that different people are always different, so Qingchuan Xiang changed the question:

"Then why does Sushi want to sleep with me? If she doesn't like me."

In a place where Qingchuan Xiang couldn't look back and see, the blush on Su Shi's face had become more and more vivid, and even the evening light shining in from the window could not compete with it.

Although Xiaoxiang's new question was not as sharp as "Do you like me?", it still made it difficult for Su Shi to answer.

Because the answers to these two questions are essentially the same.

Do I really have to admit that I am like a child who has not grown up yet, craving the warmth of my family, and wanting to treat Xiaoxiang as my own sister, even to the point of wanting to sleep in the same bed with her at night to spend as much time with her as possible?

Su Shi opened her mouth and finally came up with a seemingly plausible answer: "Maybe it's because Xiaoxiang smells good, a bit like the incense I usually light before going to bed."

Replacing the issue of facing deeper emotions with ordinary intentions is Su Shi's subconscious avoidance behavior.

"Hmm." Qingchuan Xiang snorted meaninglessly, making it difficult for Su Shi to understand her thoughts. But now Su Shi's own thoughts were in a mess, and she no longer had the energy to guess Xiao Xiang's thoughts.

After turning down the speed of the hair dryer, Su Shi started to blow dry Qingchuan Xiang's hair.

When Su Shi blew Qingchuan Xiang's hair, she was gentle and meticulous. She carefully controlled the distance between the hair dryer and the hair to prevent the hot air from burning Xiang, and also took care not to blow on the same place for a long time.

This level of warm wind blew on the head, warming the hair that was just slightly damp. Even Qingchuan Xiang, who loved to stay hydrated, had to admit that this feeling was indeed very comfortable.

It's as if an invisible pair of hands are gently massaging your scalp, and a warm current is wrapping around you. A tingling sensation comes from under the crown of your head, giving you a comfortable shiver.

Qingchuan Xiang's hair was not very long, but it still took some effort to blow it dry. Amid the regular sound of the hair dryer and the comfortable warmth of the warm air, Qingchuan Xiang gradually felt drowsy.

Su Shi, who was holding Qingchuan Xiang's hair with one hand, immediately noticed that Xiaoxiang was nodding slightly forward from time to time, just like a student who couldn't understand the teacher's lecture in math class.

Su Shi couldn't help but smile, and moved the hair dryer further away from Qingchuan Xiang's hair, and said softly:

"Xiao Xiang, you can't be sleepy yet. You have to finish your meal first."

"I'm not sleepy..." Although she said this, Qingchuan Xiang's voice, which was still soft despite her sudden sitting up and trying to be strong, revealed her tiredness. She was just holding on.
