Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

"Does anyone know Qingchuan's address? Could you please deliver today's information to him?"

Although he asked this, the teacher did not hold out hope that anyone would deliver the information. After all, Qingchuan Xiang is sick now and he cannot be forced to study. It's just that Yuqiu's study pressure is indeed quite high. If possible, the teacher still hopes to at least deliver the information to Qingchuan Xiang's home.

The teacher's words gave the conflicted Xiangzi a reasonable opportunity to go to Qingchuan Xiang's house.

Xiangzi raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I can go and deliver the information to Qingchuan."

Today's trip is my second time visiting Qingchuan Xiang's house.

Having made up her mind, Xiangzi stopped thinking about it and began to wait for school to end. Today she was particularly looking forward to this event.

After school, Xiangzi met two people at the classroom door. They were Aiyin and Deng who came to look for him at noon.

As soon as they met, Aiyin spoke first: "Xiangzi, Xiaoxiang hasn't replied to my message all afternoon, not even a read reply. Do you have any news about Xiaoxiang?"

Xiao Deng beside her also spoke weakly: "I'm a little worried about Xiao Xiang..."

"No other news..." Xiangzi looked at the two anxious people and thought for a moment, "I'm going to Qingchuan Xiang's house. Do you want to come with me?"

After saying this, Xiangzi added: "The teacher asked me to deliver the homework materials to Xiang."

“…Okay!” Deng happily agreed.

Aiyin's reaction was more interesting. She was happy and even excited to hear that she could go to Kiyokawa Xiang's house, but then she had a big question: "Xiangzi, do you know where Xiao Xiang's house is?"

Although Xiangzi and Qingchuan Xiang are members of the same band, knowing each other's home addresses doesn't seem like a big deal, but in that case, Xiaodeng doesn't know where Qingchuan Xiang's home is.

Aiyin looked at Xiangzi suspiciously. She had been suspicious for a long time. She had seen it since the first day of school that the relationship between these two people was definitely not that simple.

Let's not talk about anything else, just look at Xiangzi's attitude towards Deng. Although he cares about him, he is too subtle. But towards Xiaoxiang...

She even helped Qingchuan Xiang tidy up her clothes with her own hands that day!

Detective Aine came to the conclusion that there is definitely something fishy going on between these two people!

Chapter 63: Xiaoxiang Band Planning?!

Is it enough to practice like this?

In RiNG, Qingchuan Xiang tapped the keyboard with her hands, and the keyboard under her hands faithfully produced the notes she wanted, and these notes cleverly formed a piece of music.

After practicing for almost three hours starting from noon, Qingchuan Xiang has become completely different from the girl who used the keyboard as a piano at the beginning.

What's your current level like? Is there an average level among student bands?

In this era of the big band Girls' Generation, the level of student bands is getting higher and higher. Unlike before, most of them were just filler groups with the name of band but in fact they were just pretend groups.

He should be at an average level, but it's unlikely that he can immediately match Xiangzi during his CRYCHIC days in less than an afternoon.

Next time, I'll let Xiangzi come and see my keyboard skills and give him some feedback. At least now, Qingchuan Xiang feels that I can handle the band...

The premise is that Lixi will not use Xiangzi's standards to demand himself, a novice keyboard player.

"Xiao Xiang is making great progress." Miss Rinrinko exclaimed on the side. She had been watching Qingchuan Xiang practice here for the whole afternoon. The progress was not step by step, but a direct upward trend.

After two or three careful attempts at correcting the mistakes I made the previous time, I no longer made the same mistakes. With each new practice session, I saw significant improvement, almost like a machine constantly iterating and upgrading.

"They're just some songs of average difficulty."

This was not entirely self-deprecating. The book that Rinrinzi found for her was a relatively new one, which contained piano scores of popular songs. The cover even had the words "Newbies must learn xxx" specially written on it.

It can be said that most of the songs in it are even simplified scores. Qingchuan Xiang can tell that they are not difficult with just a glance.

"Even so, it's still impressive. If Xiaoxiang is so talented in learning instruments, if there were a few more Xiaoxiangs, wouldn't we be able to form a band ourselves?"

Rinrinko imagined several faces that looked exactly the same, but Xiaoxiang's hairstyle was slightly different in each position, playing their respective instruments together.

Keyboardist Xiaoxiang has two ponytails draped over her shoulders. When she presses the keys with her hands, her body twists gracefully along with her arms. Drummer Xiaoxiang has loose straight hair and beats the drums passionately. Guitarist and bassist Xiaoxiang each tie their own high and low ponytails, which are simple and capable yet playful and cute.

The last lead singer, Xiao Xiang, is like the real Qingchuan Xiang, with a bun on the back of her head. Although her voice is cold, her face is sometimes quirky, winking and laughing, sometimes natural and innocent, and sometimes pretending to be charming and lightly tapping her lips...

Hey, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this idea is really great.

"I feel that with the help of modern editing technology, I can really try to cut out a video with a similar feeling." The wonderful ideas in Rinrinko's mind became more and more perfect, and it felt that it was really feasible. Looking at Qingchuan Xiang who was looking at her with a confused face, she laughed, "Hehe."

"What is Sister Rinrinko thinking... that way of laughing is a bit disrespectful."

As Qingchuan Xiang looked at Miss Rinrinko who was getting closer and closer to the so-called "madman state", he couldn't help but lean back and took half a step back without leaving a trace.

"Well, Sister Rinrinzi, I'll stop here today. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to practice on this keyboard for free."

"Hehe... huh?" Rinrinzi finally woke up from her delusion. "It's just a small matter. The musical instruments stored in the coffee shop are originally provided for the little ones to play with for free. Next time you come to Xiaoxiang, you can try to rent a more advanced instrument."

"OK--"

After waving goodbye to Rinrinko, Qingchuan Xiang walked out of RiNG, walked to the door, and stopped.

She was thinking about what Lenai said to her this afternoon. Although Qingchuan Xiang had always known her shortcomings, accepted them, and had been working hard to fill them.

But Qingchuan Xiang found it even more difficult to accept the sudden direct "criticism" from Lenai than when Mu saw through his disguise.

I can’t say how painful or devastating it is, but I just can’t help but think about it all the time, like there’s a stone blocking my heart.

The biggest reason for this is that Qingchuan Xiang is afraid. Has his efforts over such a long time made him make even a little progress? Has he really changed from the completely dead self at the beginning?

Or is it still that stagnant pool, but with some decorative petals placed on the edge of the pool, it is thought to be coming alive.

Don’t think about it anymore, Qingchuan Xiang warned himself, this would only be a waste of energy and would not help in any way what he was pursuing.

Qingchuan Xiang looked at the sky. It was a sunny day with clear blue sky and white clouds.

"It hasn't rained for a long time." Qingchuan Xiang murmured to himself. The last time it rained was the night before school started. Fortunately, he got up in the middle of the night, otherwise he would have missed that rain.

If only it could rain now, my mood would improve immediately.

"It's decided! I might as well go home and take a shower."

If there's no rain, then artificially create a watery environment. Prepare some cold drinks, and in a small bathroom with fluorescent lights on, soak in a tub filled with water. As you sit in the tub, feel the buoyancy of the water like invisible hands supporting your legs, hips, and waist. Finally, after a full immersion, let every inch of your skin feel the subtle pressure of the water...

Huhu——

Although both of them were thinking of wonderful things, Qingchuan Xiang's smile was much more reserved than Miss Rinrinko's silly giggle.

Putting the worries in his heart behind him, Qingchuan Xiang walked towards his home, but when he was only a little distance away from his home, he saw a rare group of three people walking in front of him, and their direction seemed to be exactly the direction of his home.

Xiangzi? Still with Aine and Xiaodeng?

The position relationship between the three people is quite strange. Aine walks in the middle, and Xiangzi and Deng walk on both sides of her respectively.

Although it seems that Aine is the center, Xiangzi's position is closer to the front, showing a leading position.

Qingchuan Xiang blinked and immediately guessed the general situation. Perhaps he wanted to visit him after knowing that he was sick?

Xiangzi knew where her home was, while the other two didn't, so she would walk a little further ahead. Meanwhile, Xiangzi still seemed to be treating Deng with a lukewarm attitude. Deng, knowing Xiangzi didn't dislike her anymore, was still unsure how to get along with this completely different Xiangzi. So, in the end, Aine stood in the middle, acting as a buffer between the two sides.

Should I wait until they reach my doorstep and then suddenly rush up to scare them?

Qingchuan Xiang thought.

Chapter 64: Lack of Soul, Always Like This

These two people are so troublesome——

At this moment, Aine was sandwiched between Xiangzi and Deng. If it were normal times, this would mean being in the center of attention, and Aine would naturally be happy about it.

But the reason why I was walking in the middle at this time was simply because I was used as an isolation stake!

You both obviously care about each other, so why can't you just express it honestly?

Xiao Deng might be a little scared and didn't know how to start. After all, he always looked weak. Even if he spoke, he would always hesitate and seem very unsteady.

Then why did Xiangzi do that?

No matter what the reason was, in Aine's heart, the word "awkward" was firmly attached to Xiangzi.

In short, it was because these two people didn't seem like they could start a conversation at all. Even though the three of them were walking side by side, they were always shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, which made Aine a little afraid to speak.

No! As a social butterfly, I won't allow you to be so silent and awkward in my presence!

I had to find a topic...something that would engage both Xiangzi and Xiaodeng. Band? No, no, Xiangzi couldn't tell at a glance that he didn't want to talk about his old band. Even if I were to talk about the new band he had formed...

So what tone and expression should I use when telling Xiangzi about this?! I brought back all the old teammates you left behind one by one? I just want to see your expression (?).

I'm going to get beaten, right? I'm sure I will!

Wait, I thought of a very good topic that everyone will definitely want to talk about!

"Ahem, Xiaoxiang's home is surprisingly close to RiNG."

Aine coughed twice, forcibly breaking the silence, trying to make the topic sound more natural.

"……""Um…"

As a result, one of them continued to walk forward and lead the way, while the other one was preoccupied and seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts. For a moment, he did not react to Aine's innocuous words.

Really!

Aiyin refused to believe it and would continue talking even if no one responded. She refused to believe that she couldn't even get the two of them to have a harmonious discussion.

"What do you think of Xiaoxiang? You both knew Xiaoxiang before me. I want to know more about what she was like in the past."

"I want to know that, too."

This time, using a question did attract more attention from the other two.

Xiangzi felt that it was not a good idea to ignore Aine all the time. After all, she had no real conflict with her, and this topic did make her want to get some things off her chest:

"She's incredibly talented, unpredictable, and incredibly cunning... She's completely unlike anyone her age. If you're not careful, you'll fall completely into her rhythm and be led by the nose the entire time. Even if you're fully focused, you're bound to fall into one trap after another."

When Xiangzi said this, his tone was serious, and even Aine could hear some anger and helplessness in it, which was very convincing. However, the content of his words did not quite match Aine's impression.

"Eh? Sounds like some kind of intellectual villain who's behind all this."

"Yeah, is it that bad?"

Aiyin tapped her chin with her hand, and in her mind she imagined a man in black with half of his face hidden inside, revealing a sinister smile and grinning evilly.

Xiao Deng finally reacted at this time and spoke a little late:

"Xiao Xiang is a very nice person, and...when I met her at the aquarium, she was truly beautiful, even more dazzling than the emperor penguins."

"Well, Xiao Deng is still the radio type as usual. But why the oceanarium?" Aine had been very curious before. Xiao Deng seemed to want to bring Qingchuan Xiang to the oceanarium, as if this would convince Xiao Xiang to join the band.

"The aquarium is NG—Xiao Deng, if you continue like this, I will definitely not dare to go with you again next time."

By the way, has there been another voice behind the scenes since the beginning?

The three people walking in front suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around in unison.

"Good morning, good afternoon, and good night, everyone."

I saw Qingchuan Xiang with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely. I don't know when he started following the three people. Seeing that he was discovered now, he smiled back without any self-conscious behavior of following them.

"Xiao Xiang, why are you here? Are you okay?" Aiyin was the first to ask the question that the other two wanted to ask.

"Well," Qingchuan Xiang scratched his face awkwardly, and the smile on his face turned mischievous. "Haha, actually, I was too sleepy this morning, so I asked my sister to ask for leave from school for me."

When the three people heard his explanation, they all looked unhappy and didn't know what to say. Qingchuan Xiang quickly clasped his hands together and bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry to have worried everyone. My sister wouldn't exaggerate her illness...right?"

Xiangzi sighed. He didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding in the end. But he was glad that Qingchuan Xiang was okay. "No, the teacher did say it was just a cold, but later we sent you a message, but we didn't see you reply, so I was a little worried."

"Ah, my phone was dead since I got home this morning. I forgot about it before going to bed, and when I woke up I left it at home to charge, then went straight out to RiNG. That's why I didn't see your message."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding caused by coincidence.

"So you guys are planning on visiting me at my house?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

"In that case," Kiyokawa Xiang suggested, "since we're already here, why don't you just come over to my house and sit down? Aine and Deng have never been to my house, and Xiangzi has only been there once."

Before the other two could reply, Xiangzi declined. "No thanks, Xiang. If you don't have any questions, I have things to attend to, so I won't go."

Originally, Xiangzi planned to come here because he was worried about Qingchuan Xiang's health. Now that he has confirmed that Xiang is fine, there is naturally no reason for him to continue going to Qingchuan Xiang's house.

As for what to do, I would naturally go directly to the library. Although it was not time to go to work yet, I could go there to read books and do homework first.

Taking the study materials out of the bag and handing them to Kiyokawa Xiang, Xiangzi nodded and saluted: "Well, Xiang, Deng, Aine, I will leave first."

Looking at Xiangzi who turned and left, Qingchuan Xiang's eyes were full of thoughts. Then he pointed to the apartment not far away to Aine and Deng: "Aine and Xiao Deng, wait for me at the door of that apartment now. I need to ask Xiangzi something."

Aine and Deng agreed and continued walking forward, and then Kiyokawa Xiang jogged over to catch up with Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi!"

"What's wrong?" Xiangzi turned around in confusion.

"I have something I want to ask you." The image of Lenai saying "boring" flashed through Qingchuan Xiang's mind. "Back when we were in CRYCHIC, when I was negotiating with someone about who would play lead guitar, I was planning to take the initiative to play rhythm guitar, but you also thought about it and said you hoped I would play rhythm guitar. Do you remember?"
