Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

At that time, I was still immature in social aspects, so I naturally chose the safer approach of following other people's topics to reduce the difficulty of communicating with others and slowly learn how to communicate with others.

It was only later, as my own profile wall became more and more complete, that I began to gradually become adept at it. I also discovered that in fact, most of the time, socializing does not require being so restrained. Many times, people do not care too much about what you say. As long as you don't say anything too outrageous, there will be no problem.

So I started trying to make friends widely, and it was indeed very successful. But now I think about it, most of the time, the communication between these so-called "friends" relied on Qingchuan Xiang's own popularity. Everyone often discussed things about themselves, and for Qingchuan Xiang, this was naturally something he would not make mistakes in. How could there be any problem in talking about himself?

"Ain, Ain." Thinking of this, Qingchuan Xiang gently called Ain a few times.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiang?"

"What topics do you usually talk about when Aine chats with others?"

“Well…” After being asked this question suddenly, Aine really had to think carefully before she could remember, “There are actually quite a lot of things to talk about. As long as we pay attention to the latest popular things, there will be enough to talk about.”

“So this is why Aine is so concerned about trends?”

"That's partly the reason. I'm also quite interested in current affairs."

"So this is the topic you usually talk about most with others?"

"Hmm... there are always people who aren't that interested in these things. If we really want to talk about the most, it's definitely what's going on at school, right? Anyone can talk about these things, but they're limited to just the students at school."

In the field of daily chatting, Aiyin really has her own experience.

"Even though it seems like everything that happens at school is just ordinary trivialities, sometimes chatting isn't very meaningful. What's important is the act of chatting itself."

"Wow." Only then did Qingchuan Xiang truly see the demeanor of a "master" in Aine. "It turns out that Aine is really well-researched."

"What are you talking about! Of course I'm good at this. What kind of image do I have in Xiaoxiang's eyes?" Aiyin waved her fists to express her dissatisfaction, but she felt extremely satisfied with the admiring look in Qingchuan Xiang's eyes at this moment.

This is it, this is it! This is what I want to see! Even celebrities like Xiaoxiang are looking at me with admiration!

Hehehehe...

"Aine, you still have the nerve to ask what image I have of you in my eyes..." Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aine, who shone brightly with a little sunshine. Her dreamy expression was really not very flattering.

She could obviously make herself more respectable.

Well, showing your true self in this way is a good way to win other people's favor, but I don't know if it applies to my situation.

Aiyin put her hands on her hips with a somewhat smug look on her face and began to lecture Xiaoxiang like a teacher:

"Among all the campus topics, there's one that truly endures. Even if you consider the latest trending topics, it still frequently appears and draws a lot of attention: love!"

"Oh oh——" Qingchuan Xiang applauded Aine in support, which undoubtedly made the little tail behind Aine stand up higher.

"Love, the light and warmth of life, the most accurate interpretation of the meaning of romance, all the joys and sorrows are condensed in this one word! Is there really anyone who wouldn't be interested in this topic?"

"I really don't talk about this with others. Where's Xiao Deng?"

"Eh? W-what?"

"Has Xiao Deng ever talked about love with others?"

"Well, no... I don't really understand these things."

"What a coincidence, me too." Qingchuan Xiang happily touched Xiaodeng's head, which was still a little confused about the situation. "It's okay, I'm sorry to bother you while you were taking notes. Xiaodeng, just continue with your work."

"Oh……"

"How could this be—" Aiyin looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief. One was aloof and the other was emotionally insulated. Both of them just happened to have no interest in this topic. "Hasn't Xiaoxiang ever thought about it? The idea of falling in love with someone else?"

"It feels quite difficult." Qingchuan Xiang spoke his thoughts honestly.

“Difficult…” Aine was choked by this answer, “How can feelings be described in terms of difficulty…”

Then he muttered to himself: Is Xiaoxiang such a rational person? But he didn't behave like that when he was at Xiaoxiang's house before.

"I have another question, Teacher Aine!" Qingchuan Xiang raised his hand and asked.

"Please tell me."

"We're an all-girls school, but why are there so many topics about love?"

"Um... I have to ask first, Xiaoxiang, do you know lesbians..."

"know."

My sister is! Of course, Qingchuan Xiang couldn't say this directly, "But I thought this was a minority among the crowd, even in an all-girls school."

"About this... Actually, from my observation, since the era of big girl bands, some people have jokingly called it the arrival of the era of big girl bands. I feel like the word trend can already describe it."

Aiyin's face turned red, and she hesitated when she said this. What if Xiaoxiang directly associated it with her desire to form a band and thought of her as a lesbian too?

Chapter 84 What is Love?

"I see."

What Aine didn't expect was that Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to have any feelings about this. He just replied with a simple sentence, and even his expression didn't change. He still sat there quietly enjoying the breeze that was a little warm but comfortable enough.

This made Aine want to ask a question.

"Xiao Xiang is... no, no." I almost asked Qingchuan Xiang directly if she was gay. This was too bad. At least I should ask it more tactfully. "Well, Xiao Xiang, if you were to fall in love in the future, have you ever thought about what kind of person you would want to be with?"

Kiyokawa Xiang blinked, and after reviewing Aine’s previous and subsequent words in his mind, he immediately understood the hidden meaning of Aine’s real question. He couldn’t help but smile with a bit of amusement, and his eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Aine, are you asking if the person I'm looking for is a boy or a girl?"

Aiyin blushed in embarrassment and began to stutter for a moment, trying hard to make excuses for herself, afraid that Qingchuan Xiang would think she had ulterior motives.

"Alright, there's no need to panic." Kiyokawa Xiang casually waved his hand, signaling Aine to calm down. "If you want me to answer this question... Honestly, before that, maybe you should first ask me the question of 'Do you really want to fall in love?'"

The word "love" really makes Qingchuan Xiang unsure how to give it a suitable definition.

In many of the literary and entertainment works that Qingchuan Xiang has read, whether it is novels, comics, animation, variety shows, movies, or TV series... there is always no reservation in describing the concept of love.

Even in many works, love is something that can overcome everything. It can overcome people's physical illnesses, influence hard and cold stones... and fill all the shortcomings in people's hearts.

Although Qingchuan Xiang is well aware that these works have their own artistic processing, and have exaggeratedly sanctified or demonized love, even so, love seems to be generally recognized by most people in society and can be classified as a "miracle".

And among all kinds of love, the one that people talk about the most is indeed what Aine just said, which is love.

So if you ask Qingchuan Xiang about the idea of falling in love, does she have any idea? Of course she does, but she has never put it into practice.

The reason is very simple. Qingchuan Xiang knows that he does not have that ability. Not bringing bad influence to others because of his own problems is something that Qingchuan Xiang strives to stick to.

After all, his family did not regard him as a mental patient. In addition to their love for him, Qingchuan Xiang's self-discipline in this regard was also very important.

And if Qingchuan Xiang didn't think about how to actually do it, and just imagined what kind of partner he wanted to have in the future...

"I don't think I have any requirements. As long as we can get along well, I probably won't care about anything else."

Qingchuan Xiang sat on the chair. The wind was so comfortable that she couldn't help but stretch herself hard, stretching and relaxing her body. She looked relaxed and comfortable, and the words she said made people feel a little casual and not taken seriously.

"As for the question Aine wants to ask, I don't care either way, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl. Hmm...but if I think about it, my classmates and friends are mostly female. If I were to really fall in love, it would probably be with a girl."

"Really?" Aiyin couldn't help but ask. Qingchuan Xiang's posture looked a little "not very "proper", making it difficult to tell whether she was just joking or just said it without thinking carefully.

"really."

"Xiao Xiang's answer really has her own unique style..."

Qingchuan Xiang looked at Aine and sighed for some reason.

"My style? What is it like?"

“It’s so free…”

"That's nothing, such an abstract style." Qingchuan Xiang tilted his head and said "eh", as if waiting for Aine to explain in more detail.

However, Aine had no intention of continuing. She suddenly stood up and walked to the wide-open window in the room, with her back to Qingchuan Xiang who was sitting in the middle of the room.

"I don't think there's anything special about what I said." Aiyin blocked some of the wind, causing Qingchuan Xiang's body to tilt again on the chair, and finally simply put it on the shoulder of Xiaodeng who was sitting at the table writing a report. This scared Xiaodeng so much that he turned around suddenly. After realizing it was Xiang, he looked at Xiang with some frightened eyes.

Qingchuan Xiang touched Xiaodeng's little gray hair with some apology.

Aine, who was standing by the window, secretly looked back at the two people interacting here. What was originally a normal little interaction made Aine feel something different after the conversation just now.

Although Xiaoxiang seems to have no interest in love, he doesn't reject dating with girls...

Qingchuan Xiang and Xiao Deng felt someone looking at them at the same time and turned around in unison. This time it was Aine's turn to be frightened. She turned her head back to the window in a panic and awkward manner, which made her look even more obvious.

"Ano-chan?" "Aine, what's wrong? Your face is a little red." Two little question marks popped up at the same time.

"It's okay, it might be because the wind is a little hot, so my face turned red." Aine laughed.

Maybe Aine thought that if I liked girls, my behavior towards Xiao Deng was a little too intimate and a little embarrassing?

Qingchuan Xiang guessed in his heart, but it was still hard to judge. On the other hand, Qingchuan Xiang himself felt that just touching the head was something he would do normally.

Fortunately, it seemed that Aine herself didn't want to continue talking about the topic of "love" and said:

"Now that our band is formed, although we haven't confirmed what songs we'll perform in the future, I'd like to ask Xiao Deng what kind of songs he likes. Maybe we can choose a style based on what everyone likes."

"I...I don't usually listen to music..." Deng said in a low voice.

Aiyin was a little surprised. She was the lead singer of the band, but she wasn't really interested in music? She didn't ask this question, otherwise Xiaodeng might start blaming herself again.

"What about Xiaoxiang? Although Xiaoxiang doesn't want to join the band, I also want to know."

Kiyokawa Xiang planned to save the news of his joining the band for the band's first event as a surprise, so he didn't correct Aine.

"As for me, I really like to listen to music with a jazz style. Of course, some jazz is too "improvisational" to be understood by some people, which is another matter. What about Aine?"

"Sumimi's music is still my favorite lately!" Aine hummed a short melody of Sumimi's song. "Don't you think it's really sweet and girly? And it has a wide audience. I feel like if our band can play this style of music in the future, it will definitely be very popular, right?"

"Does Aine like Sumimi very much?"

"Of course! Not only the songs, but Sumi's Hatsuka and Mana are also very beautiful!"

After hearing this, Qingchuan Xiang thought for a while and thought, maybe he could give Aine a little surprise?

Chapter 85: Set off! Target Sumimi!

It was the weekend, and the sun was still as scorching as ever. Even the air was much drier than the previous few days. Standing under the sun, not only did she feel her skin being scorched, but when she breathed in the hot, moisture-depleted air, Aiyin only felt her throat itchy. It was so dry.

But contrary to the physical discomfort, Aine is now in a very happy mood, one could even say she is excited!

When I woke up early this morning, I received a text message from Qingchuan Xiang. The content was not long, but Aiyin read it over and over again for a long time, wondering if she was still dreaming.

To put it simply...

“I can actually go and see Sumi’s live rehearsal?!”

After squinting, rubbing her eyes, pinching her legs, repeatedly logging out and back in, putting on glasses, etc., Aine finally confirmed that this message was not a fake fraudulent text message, nor was it an April Fool's joke that was several months late, but it was real. Qingchuan Xiang invited her to go to Sumimi's entertainment agency together today.

After seeing the news, Aiyin was so shocked that she woke up completely. She subconsciously shouted out loud. Driven by excitement, Aiyin finished washing up at an unprecedented speed. She spent a long time choosing what clothes to wear today and what small accessories to match them with. She also used the cosmetics she bought after watching Miao Mengqin's video.

Then, one hour before the time Qingchuan Xiang had agreed with him, he arrived near the agreed destination.

Aine arrived at the destination and was stunned by the outdoor heat wave. She didn't see Qingchuan Xiang and looked at the time on her mobile phone. She realized that she might have to wait for Aine for another hour in this hot environment. Her high spirits began to slowly cool down.

"I think I'm a little too excited..."

Hiding under the shade of a tree by the roadside, Aine recalled her behavior from this morning until now, as well as her mother's subtle expression of surprise, confusion, and worry when she saw her having a tantrum so early in the morning. She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

“After all, I was once the student council president and had even been abroad, yet I act like an ignorant person…” Aine scolded herself in her mind, trying to calm down the faint traces of joy that kept emerging from her heart, even though it was slowly calming down.

If Sumimi's Hatsuka and Mana saw her losing her composure and showing the same expression as her mother this morning, Aine would definitely want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into the dirt!

"Let's ask Xiaoxiang where she is first, and then find a shady place to wait."

After Aiyin took out her phone and sent a message to Qingchuan Xiang, she didn't turn off the phone. Instead, she stared blankly at the lit screen.

In the blink of an eye, the page on my phone screen suddenly jumped to the SNS page, and the caption had already been edited: Wu - Today, Aiyin, I got the opportunity to see Sumi rehearse live...

It even had a picture already prepared. Aine's eyes widened, and with trembling fingers she clicked on the picture to see that it was actually a selfie of me! I even played along and winked!

When...what on earth is this, hypnosis, time suspension?

Aine turned her head sharply left and right, but she didn't see any suspicious people. It was more like there were no other passers-by within ten meters.

Aine looked back at the post she had already composed, waiting for someone to click on it. She would immediately send it out and gain a lot of attention for herself...

“No, no!” Aiyin quickly closed her eyes to block out the temptation, and swiped her phone directly to the main interface before opening her eyes. She immediately ended the SNS task in the background, without even checking the “Save to Drafts” option, and killed this mysterious dynamic in the cradle.

It was so scary. A monster that longed for likes just awakened in my heart. Fortunately, I have extraordinary willpower and overcame the temptation.

Although Aine really wanted to brag about having the chance to meet that popular idol group, she also knew that it was precisely because Sumimi was so popular that if she casually posted this status, it might cause a bad public opinion impact on Sumimi, and that would be a betrayal of Kiyokawa Xiang's kindness in giving her the opportunity.

No matter how vain she is, Aiyin knows how to be sensible in matters like this.

Aiyin, who had obviously done nothing but had already driven herself crazy to the point of feeling a little tired, used the selfie camera on her phone to check if her makeup had fallen off. Fortunately, she had not ruined the makeup look she had worked so hard to learn during her recent efforts.

"Ha--" Aine sighed, then reopened Line to see if Qingchuan Xiang had replied to her message.

"No? Eh?" When I first opened the chat interface with "Mrs. Xiang," there were only my own messages asking for information, but no response, not even a read message. But the next moment, the message asking where Qingchuan Xiang was was suddenly read, and almost instantly, another message came in.

Behind you.
