"First, I may not have enough time and energy. I have a lot of commitments with other people."

For example, Kiyokawa Xiang is still a special member of Sumimi, and it won't be long before they will be preparing to ask me to practice the first song of the three-person Sumimi.

Then there's the interview with Ms. Ruomai at VA-11. And in subsequent communications, it seems Ruomai is planning a livestream from her own store. It's a big project, which is why she didn't plan it during the summer. Now that so much time has passed, I imagine Ms. Ruomai is close to finalizing the plan. I'll have to see what she thinks then.

Apart from these, Qingchuanxiang naturally has to leave some time for himself to soak in VA-11 and make drinks, which is a basic need in Qingchuanxiang's life.

By this calculation, if Qingchuan Xiang really joined the band, the absentee rate would remain high.

There is another reason...

"Secondly, I have to consider the matter regarding Xiao Deng and Li Xi."

"Xiao Deng and Li Xi?" Su Shi was a little puzzled. Why would Xiao Xiang not join the band because of these two people?

"They probably wouldn't object to me joining the band, but my joining the band might indirectly have a negative influence on them."

Xiao Deng's words have been said many times before. She is worried that she will rely too much on herself. Even if she has to rely on others, she hopes that she can make her requests to more people.

As for Li Xi, it was because of her inferiority complex, and Qingchuan Xiang was not sure whether his joining would aggravate her problem.

However, this reason is actually not so tenable now.

I was originally worried that Aine was the only normal person in the band, but Aine was obviously not familiar with the band. If she joined, she would definitely be the one speaking most of the time. Then the two problems of Xiaodeng and Lixi could not be ignored.

But now with Su Shi - even though Su Shi is not completely normal, she can still be an important pillar of a band.

With Aiyin and Sushi ensuring the harmony of the band's atmosphere and Lixi providing motivation, if I join the band now, I can completely restrain my presence and be a bad boy.

Just like before at CRYCHIC...

"Well... I can't really say what the negative impact will be. After all, this involves other people's privacy, and I can't tell you directly, but I really don't have any need to deceive you about this matter.

"So, sorry Sushi."

In the end, Qingchuan Xiang once again apologized to Su Shi. Although she didn't know Su Shi's true thoughts, she had made real changes in order to pull herself back into the band.

It was even a proposal that made me very excited.

"Ah, but even though I'm not joining the band, I'll still come to watch you practice and perform live often. I can also help you with some studio reservations and live events. So don't be too disappointed."

Perhaps it was the last few words that comforted Su Shi. Although he was still a little lost, he was still in a relatively good mental state.

Chapter 50: Sleepy Vegetable Soup

"I understand." Su Shi showed a somewhat lonely smile. For some reason, Qingchuan Xiang looked at that smile and automatically added the voice of "Isn't it pretty good?" for Su Shi in his mind.

"Xiao Xiang must be hungry too, let's eat." As if to show that he really had nothing else to say, Su Shi finally scooped a few spoonfuls of vegetable soup for himself.

"Hmm, then the second time, I'm going to start."

I can finally have a good meal. Although I’m not particularly hungry, Qingchuan Xiang has been looking forward to this soup for a long time.

But don't be impatient. Qingchuan Xiang suppressed the urge to pick up the bowl and start drinking the soup.

The best is saved for last. Finish the rice, vegetables and pasta in the bowl first, then scoop a full bowl of soup. It’s pure enjoyment.

When it comes to "drinks", Qingchuan Xiang pays the most attention to the sense of ritual.

Qingchuan Xiang poked the rice that was easily softened by the rich soup, then nimbly picked up a piece of potato and a small ball of rice with chopsticks and put them into his mouth.

The potatoes cooked in the thick soup have a soft and delicate texture. The soft texture does not require biting with teeth. Qingchuan Xiang can press the potato into a paste with just his tongue and a little force.

It's like it melts, and it's easy and smooth to eat.

The rice soaked in the thick soup feels soft and slightly sticky. As the teeth crush it and the taste buds on the tip of the tongue taste it carefully, the flavor of the tomato soup contained in the small ball of rice is fully extracted.

The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing and makes people want to keep eating. In addition to the sweet and sour taste, the broth also makes the rice more refreshing and has a refreshing natural tomato flavor.

Even if you chew the food in your mouth carefully several times and then swallow it slowly, there will be an endless aftertaste in your mouth.

Qingchuan Xiang smacked his lips, feeling that there was one more thing that made people like Su Shi. If Su Shi was also considered a drink mixologist, then this vegetable soup would be a very excellent work.

I had planned to finish the food in the bowl first and then drink the soup, but after taking the first bite, I couldn’t help myself. What should I do?

This is the first time that Qingchuan Xiang has come to her house, and also the first time she has eaten the food she made herself. Su Shi definitely hopes that Qingchuan Xiang will find it delicious.

So when Qingchuan Xiang started to put the first bite into his mouth, Su Shi was secretly watching Qingchuan Xiang's reaction, trying to figure out what Xiao Xiang thought.

Then Su Shi saw that Qingchuan Xiangxian had a serious expression, as if he was not eating but performing some important ceremony, and he put the food into his mouth very solemnly.

He chewed slowly at first. During this time, Qingchuan Xiang's expression gradually relaxed from the initial seriousness. His constantly moving cheeks made him look as cute as a hamster.

It seemed to taste quite good. Soon, Qingchuan Xiang's expression looked like he was enjoying it. The speed of chewing subtly increased a little, and there was a light in his blue eyes.

It seems to be really to Xiaoxiang's liking, which is great. In this case, we can plan our plan to capture Xiaoxiang's appetite...

After Su Shi confirmed it, he also started eating. At the same time, he was thinking about when there would be other opportunities in the future to let Qingchuan Xiang eat the food he cooked.

At this time, Qingchuan Xiang also began to taste something else.

Although only a very small part of the soup was absorbed by the rice, it was indeed a part of the soup made by Su Shi himself. Qingchuan Xiang could naturally absorb some of Su Shi's feelings from it.

However, because it was so rare, Qingchuan Xiang could not feel any specific emotion from it. Instead, he felt some vague and fragmented feelings.

It was a warmth that came from the inside out, flowing from Qingchuan Xiang's internal organs, all the way through his body, until it reached every hair.

Qingchuan Xiang couldn't help but shudder with pleasure, but then he realized that he had just made a wrong judgment.

It’s not that this rare soup doesn’t contain some kind of emotion, but that this emotion will only come late after this warm feeling.

That is greed.

Want more, want more, want more...

The illusory feeling of warmth was fleeting, and it was precisely because of the experience of that warmth that this desire became so heavy, prompting Qingchuan Xiang to continue eating.

Qingchuan Xiang licked his lips and then began to eat faster.

The more you eat, the more real the warm feeling becomes, but the greed that follows also increases.

So even if more rice was added, it was quickly finished after scooping spoonful after spoonful of soup and vegetables.

Su Shi looked at Qingchuan Xiang in some surprise. His movements were clearly orderly and even in line with the dining etiquette in the Moon Forest, but he finished the meal without realizing it, and even ate a lot of potatoes, carrots and other dishes in the middle.

"Does Xiaoxiang like to eat this?"

"Well, it tastes really good." Qingchuan Xiang swallowed the last bite of rice. Putting aside the strong appetite caused by special reasons, Su Shi's own ability is also unquestionable. The taste of this pot of soup is satisfactory.

As he spoke, Qingchuan Xiang scooped up a full bowl of soup. Now there was no other food, just the purest soup.

Qingchuan Xiang has begun to look forward to it. If the part that was just soaked in the food could give her such a strong feeling, then what would it be like to drink it directly?

Qingchuan Xiang has clearly felt that his heart is flowing because of this, just like Xiangzi's black tea and Lixi's coffee.

This is the feeling I have been pursuing, a feeling I have never experienced before.

"I'm starting." Qingchuan Xiang said this for the third time, and then drank it all in one gulp.

……

After drinking, Qingchuan Xiang closed his eyes and fell into a long silence, as if recalling something. After a while, Qingchuan Xiang gently covered his heart and opened his eyes.

In Qingchuan Xiang's eyes, the surface of the lake of the soul, which had always been quiet with occasional ripples, is now surging.

"Spring shadow..." Qingchuan Xiang murmured to himself. Before he could say more, the strong warmth in his heart, like the warmth in the spring sunshine, enveloped Qingchuan Xiang completely before it disappeared.

The comfortable feeling was like soaking in a hot spring. Coupled with the fact that he was well-fed and full of food and the fatigue of a day, Qingchuan Xiang couldn't help but lie down on the dining table.

Fell asleep.

Chapter 51: Brushing Teeth

"Xiao Xiang?"

Seeing Qingchuan Xiang suddenly lying motionless on the dining table, Su Shi was shocked and hurried forward to check what was going on.

After approaching, no matter how he called Qingchuan Xiang's name or gently shook Qingchuan Xiang's shoulders with his hands, he couldn't wake Qingchuan Xiang up.

Su Shi suddenly became anxious, worried that something unexpected might happen. He was about to increase his strength to try to wake Qingchuan Xiang, but Xiang made a few whimpering sounds in his sleep, then changed to a slightly more comfortable position and continued to sleep on the table.

Su Shi finally felt relieved, as he realized that he had just fallen asleep.

Was Xiaoxiang really that tired? She fell asleep right at the table after finishing her meal.

Su Shi patted Qingchuan Xiang again, and then pinched Xiao Xiang's face: "Xiao Xiang, wake up, you can't sleep here even if you want to sleep."

But Qingchuan Xiang seemed to have been drugged. He had just fallen asleep for a short time, but he was sleeping so deeply and still showed no signs of waking up.

Since he already knew that Xiaoxiang was just sleeping, Su Shi could not use overly violent means even if he wanted to wake Qingchuanxiang up.

Looking at the sleeping Xiaoxiang, Su Shi didn't know what to do with her.

Xiao Xiang had previously agreed to sleep with him, and she had never taken that promise back, and now Xiao Xiang had fallen asleep again...

Su Shi looked at Qingchuan Xiang, who seemed not to wake up no matter what was done to her, and felt a little moved.

Is it true that he will never wake up?

Su Shi slowly bent down and got close to Qingchuan Xiang's face, but suddenly stopped and maintained this posture for a few seconds. After constant struggle, Su Shi gave up.

After all, Xiaoxiang's love for me is not that kind of love. If I do something that crosses the line, it will make her angry.

After quickly finishing her dinner, Su Shi carefully picked up Qingchuan Xiang. Although Su Shi's physical strength was not good, it was at the average level of a high school girl.

Moreover, Qingchuan Xiang is really light, and even when Su Shi picks him up, he only feels a little bit of effort.

He carried Qingchuan Xiang to his room and let Xiao Xiang sit on his bed with her back against the wall.

Then Su Shi took out the new, unopened toothbrush that was kept as a spare at home, cleaned it thoroughly, poured a cup of warm water, and returned to the room with the toothbrush and water.

After Su Shi dipped the toothbrush in warm water, he held the toothbrush in his right hand, hesitated for a moment with his left hand, made some mental preparations, then supported Qingchuan Xiang's chin with four fingers, and then put his thumb on Qingchuan Xiang's lips.

"So soft," was Su Shi's first thought. Her second was that it felt like touching a water ball. Qingchuan Xiang's lips, which looked incredibly rosy and had no dryness or flaking at all, also felt incredibly elastic.

Su Shi's thumb easily inserted between Qingchuan Xiang's upper and lower lips, then pried open the unprotected teeth and opened the mouth slightly.

Although Qingchuan Xiang felt a little uncomfortable and twisted his body as soon as the door was pried open, he did not wake up, and his open mouth did naturally want to close.

However, it was stuck by Su Shi's invading thumb. Qingchuan Xiang bit it again unwillingly in his dream, but it was of no avail. So he regained his composure and held Su Shi's finger in his mouth.

Gulu.

Su Shi swallowed, it was hard not to have some rather tainted thoughts that weren't so sound for Qingchuan Xiang running through his mind.

It’s just to clean Xiaoxiang’s mouth... Su Shi repeated this in his mind, trying to suppress those bad thoughts - he had even begun to imagine the scene.

Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang, who was asleep, simply wanted to close her mouth, so she just held Su Shi's finger in her mouth. If Qingchuan Xiang had done any extra movements at this time, it might have been too stimulating.

Su Shi didn't dare to put his hand in anymore. If he woke Xiao Xiang up now, he would have no way to explain himself.

Using only the lower three fingers to continue supporting Qingchuan Xiang's chin, Su Shi also inserted his index finger into Qingchuan Xiang's lips. With the gap pried open by his thumb, this time he succeeded easily.

He placed his index finger and thumb on the upper and lower teeth respectively, and with a little force, he opened Qingchuan Xiang's mouth enough to see clearly inside, completely exposing it to Su Shi.

The small tongue fell into a dormant slumber with its owner, lying there quietly and motionless.

The two rows of teeth are extremely clean and white, like delicate little pearls, arranged neatly and orderly in the air, which is pleasing to the eye.

After opening the mouth, Su Shi had two fingers stuck in Qingchuan Xiang's mouth and three fingers in the outside air. Su Shi could clearly feel the difference between the two places.

Xiaoxiang's mouth was really wet, which made people wonder if Qingchuanxiang had been holding a mouthful of water in her mouth.

However, it seems that ordinary people cannot do what Su Shi did and directly put their hands into Qingchuan Xiang's mouth to feel this.

Su Shi was still savoring the unique feeling of the index finger and thumb of his left hand. The water dipped in the toothbrush in his right hand had almost disappeared, forcing Su Shi to put the toothbrush back into the cup and turn it around.

And now, she was going to put the toothbrush into Qingchuan Xiang's mouth and turn it.

The toothbrush gently touched Qingchuan Xiang's teeth. The small and cute teeth made Su Shi even more afraid to move casually, for fear of hurting those seemingly perfect yet fragile teeth and mouth.

At this time, Su Shi no longer had any bad thoughts in her mind. Instead, she felt like she was a work of art and had to protect her well.

Under Su Shi's operation, the soft bristles carefully clean every gap of each tooth. The teeth that have just eaten are inevitably stained with some red, which are all brushed away bit by bit by Su Shi.

This was a long and tiring process. When Su Shi finally took care of every little tooth of Qingchuan Xiang, she tilted Qingchuan Xiang's head and helped him spit out some water into the cup.

After this, the difficult task was finally completed.

After the foreign object was removed from her mouth, Qingchuan Xiang unconsciously smacked her lips and felt much more comfortable. The corners of her mouth curved a little, and she continued to sleep.

Looking at Xiaoxiang, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Su Shi also felt a sense of satisfaction. Although it was a bit too stimulating, this was also the daily interaction she wanted... right?

Now we should be thankful that Qingchuan Xiang had taken a good bath before dinner.

Chapter 52 I Do

After a lot of trouble, the sky outside the window had darkened, and the setting sun had completely sunk into the distant skyline, with the black sky and the neon ocean on the ground each occupying one side.
