Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

The tram was fast and steady. The scenery flying past the windows on both sides was divided into countless small horizontal lines like the speed lines in a cartoon due to its high speed, extending in the opposite direction of the tram's movement.

In comics, the places where the protagonist meets an important person are always varied. For example, the most classic one is the corner of the street. They may run away in a hurry with a piece of bread in their mouths for something, and then accidentally bump into each other at the corner. Sometimes, some popular "lucky pervert" incidents may also happen.

It can be a coffee shop with an elegant atmosphere, exuding a fragrant aroma, where two people who happen to sit together have a simple yet meaningful encounter.

Or perhaps a library where books sit peacefully on the shelves, waiting for two pairs of hands to accidentally bump into each other while trying to reach for the same book.

Finally, of course, a train, which runs back and forth on a fixed route and appears to be repeating the same action, can have completely different passengers boarding and disembarking at each station. Some people, like office workers, have their own set travel times, so they might run into each other so often that they feel familiar. Suddenly missing each other one day can make you wonder if they've had something else urgent to do.

On the other hand, you can never be sure whether the person getting on the train at the next stop will be the same person you were at the last time you arrived. Trams are a hub for people to come and go, and therefore a gathering place for coincidences. A single morning or evening could lead to a completely different encounter.

Just like in the comics, an unexpected encounter.

"Xiaoxiang...and Xiangzi...?"

As the tram slowly slowed down and entered the station, the doors opened, and among the passengers who stepped onto the tram, a very distinct and timid voice was heard, calling out the names of Kiyokawa Xiang and Xiangzi.

It's a lamp.

"Xiao Deng!" Qingchuan Xiang greeted Deng warmly and waved her over, "Come and sit here."

"Oh...! Okay." Xiao Deng walked over hurriedly, and the schoolbag on his shoulder was shaken and slipped off his shoulder. So Deng hurriedly grabbed the strap of the bag, but caused a small notebook in his hand to fall to the ground.

Xiao Deng's success has put him in a state of helplessness and confusion.

It took Xiaodeng a few seconds to finally hold on to everything on his body. Then he continued to walk over, but found that the seats where Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi were sitting were not the regular long seats on the tram, but the short seats that were newly installed on some trams recently, which were almost big enough for two people.

Recently, everyone in the school has been very puzzled by the tram company's move. In the final discussion, the guess that most people agreed with was that these short chairs are for couples to sit on.

Incidentally, Xiangzi naturally didn't participate in such strange discussions. And Qingchuan Xiang never cared.

But the problem now is that Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi have taken up most of the space on the short chair, and Xiaodeng has no place to sit.

"Woo..." Xiao Deng looked at Qingchuan Xiang and then at Xiangzi, feeling troubled by the fact that Qingchuan Xiang invited him to sit down but there was no place for him to sit.

For a moment, Xiaodeng's single-threaded thinking made him forget that he originally wanted to ask why Xiaoxiang and Xiangzi were on their way to school together at this time. Shouldn't Xiangzi's home be in the other direction?

"Xiangzi, squeeze over there." Qingchuan Xiang directed Xiangzi to move towards her, and she also moved her butt to the other side of the seat.

So now there was room between Kiyokawa Xiang and Xiangzi for Takamatsu Deng, who was just petite enough to sit down.

At the same time, there is no doubt that if Xiaodeng were to sit in this position, it would be very crowded between the three of them, and Xiaodeng in the middle would naturally suffer the greatest pressure.

This pressure does not only refer to physical pressure, but also the mental pressure that Xiaodeng will feel when Xiaoxiang is on his left and Xiangzi is on his right. The two of them are sticking close to him at the same time.

Both Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi have a very high status in Xiaodeng's heart.

Do you want to sit here?

Xiao Deng hesitated for a moment, but seeing Qingchuan Xiang's genuine and warm invitation, he hugged the notebook with a water-blue fish on the cover even tighter.

Then he sat between the two of them with a fearless attitude.

Chapter 153 The Astronomy Department is in danger of being abolished?!

So crowded.

Even for a girl as petite as Deng, who has no extra fat at all, the space is too small.

Anyone among the three could feel the immense pressure, especially Xiao Deng. On his left was Qingchuan Xiang, who seemed to have brought the morning mist into the slightly damp carriage. On his right was Xiangzi, who smiled helplessly as he played around with Qingchuan Xiang, but for some reason the space he occupied was a little more "pressured" than the other two.

And it was at this moment that Xiao Deng suddenly discovered that the smell of shampoo or shower gel coming from Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi on both sides was so similar.

Or were they actually using the same shampoo? Did they both just coincidentally buy the same shampoo, or maybe…

This discovery reminded Xiao Deng of the question she had just thought of but forgot to ask. She looked left and right and asked:

"Xiaoxiang and Xiangzi, did they leave together?"

Xiao Deng spoke hesitantly, and Xiangzi could hear that there was some expectation in her tone for some unknown reason.

What kind of answer does Xiaodeng expect himself or Qingchuan Xiang to give?

Although he was the one who invited Takamatsu Deng to join the band, and he also resonated with some of the lyrics written by Xiao Deng, he thought he had a certain understanding of Deng and knew that Xiao Deng had many thoughts hidden under his timid appearance.

Just like an iceberg floating in the sea, what is exposed outside is only a tiny corner of Xiaodeng. Only when you get a glimpse of the huge gravity of the soul hidden beneath the surface of Xiaodeng, can you understand the true talent of this girl.

But even Xiangzi had to admit that Xiaodeng's words were often difficult to understand.

Although she seems somewhat similar to Xiaomu and both of them always say very few words when expressing their ideas, Deng's way of thinking is too unconventional and seems very electric. Sometimes you don't know how to understand what she says, and it even feels like it doesn't belong in the current topic at all.

Mu is the opposite. Her words are extremely direct and to the point, and she occasionally shows extraordinary insight, but she always says inappropriate things and seems to have low emotional intelligence.

"Oh, yes. Xiangzi stayed at my house last night."

Before Xiangzi opened his mouth, Qingchuan Xiang had already answered Xiaodeng's question and directly admitted that it was indeed Xiangzi and he who went out together today.

Xiangzi himself subconsciously wanted to conceal this matter, but seeing that Qingchuan Xiang had already answered, he didn't say anything more. In fact, it was not difficult to tell others that he was just staying overnight at a friend's house.

Of course, the premise is that you are simply staying overnight at a "friend's" house.

Fortunately, Qingchuan Xiang did not tell Xiaodeng more about what evil things Xiangzi did in her home...

Otherwise, Xiangzi would inexplicably feel that he had corrupted Xiao Deng, and subconsciously think that Deng was not yet ready to deal with these things.

“Spending the night...it’s so nice…” Xiao Deng nodded and said with some envy.

"Xiao Deng, do you also want to stay overnight at my house? I welcome you very much--" Qingchuan Xiang made the invitation naturally and directly.

"Is it really possible?" Xiao Deng confirmed somewhat unconfidently. When he said this, he subconsciously wanted to turn around to face Qingchuan Xiang, but he immediately squeezed the other two people.

His knee hit the side of Qingchuan Xiang's leg, and his shoulder hit Xiangzi's shoulder. All three of them couldn't help but exclaim "ouch".

Seeing that Xiao Deng immediately lowered his head and was about to start apologizing again, Qingchuan Xiang knew very well how to deal with this situation. He directly interrupted Xiao Deng with another matter, so that Xiao Deng would temporarily forget about the current matter:

"Xiao Deng, you guys should still go to RiNG to gather today, after all, it seems like not everyone showed up yesterday."

This trick really worked, and it also happened to touch upon something that Deng cared about very much.

"Well... Su Shi seems to have been caught in the rain and is feeling unwell..." Xiao Deng's eyes were full of worry, "I hope Su Shi is okay."

However, Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi, who knew what had happened and were even involved in the incident, tacitly did not point out the matter.

"Since Su Shi said you can come today, then there must be nothing serious. Xiao Deng, don't worry too much. By the way, could it be that Xiao Deng is on his way to school so early because he's so excited about the gathering this afternoon that he can't wait to come to school this morning?"

"actually……"

Xiao Deng explained to the two of them bit by bit that the school clubs were actually going to make a report for the first month after the start of the school year. This report was not required every month, but was just to give the freshmen in the first year of high school a last chance to change clubs after they had experienced a month of club activities. They could apply for it in the report.

But for a situation like Xiao Deng, this is a sudden extra workload.

Xiao Deng went to school so early today because he planned to go to the club room first to organize some materials that might be needed for the report.

In addition to the extra work to do, Xiao Deng also has a very distressing thing.

"Are there still no new members joining the Astronomy Department?"

"Well...anon has been helping me hand out flyers and stuff, but no one seems to want to come."

Xiangzi thought for a moment and then asked, "The minimum requirement for a club is five people, right? How many people are there in the Deng Club now?"

"Just me and Anon."

"Then even if Xiaoxiang and I were to be the only ones there, it wouldn't be enough."

"Huh?" Xiao Deng was suddenly stunned after hearing what Xiangzi said.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Xiangzi didn't know why the lamp reacted like this, but Qingchuan Xiang on the side guessed the reason early on.

"Huhu, it's because Xiangzi's performance at the beginning of the school is quite different from now."

At that time, Xiangzi ignored Deng's departure with a cold face, which made Xiao Deng cry. But now he actually took the initiative to offer to help Deng and become a nominal member of the Astronomy Department.

"It's just a name, it doesn't affect me at all!"

Xiangzi wanted to remain stubborn, but Deng's eyes had already started to sparkle, revealing her joy so clearly that Xiangzi couldn't look at her directly for a moment.

As expected, dark and twisted guys have to be treated with the simplicity of a little animal like Xiao Deng.

Qingchuan Xiang was obviously unaware that in some aspects, he was even more natural than Deng.

After all, if the lamp could make Xiangzi show his stubborn and arrogant side for a while, Qingchuan Xiang directly made Xiangzi fall in love with her.

Chapter 154 Becoming an Idol... ()

"Actually... if we want to keep the club from being disbanded, there's a way. Even with one or two people missing, the Astronomy Club can still continue."

Xiao Deng suddenly remembered something and said.

"What? Does that mean Xiao Deng is going to work hard to become an idol in order to stop the waste department?"

"Eh...? Idols and stuff..." Xiao Deng was a little confused by Qingchuan Xiang's jokes, and didn't understand why he suddenly talked about being an idol.

Deng's understanding of the idol profession is limited to the fact that they need to perform singing and dancing on the stage under the spotlight, which seems to be no different from forming a band.

"If it's just singing, I should be able to do it...!" Xiao Deng, who misunderstood Qingchuan Xiang's meaning, expressed his determination with a "hmm".

"Ahaha, actually, I was just playing on a literary meme." Qingchuan Xiang couldn't help but laugh, and gently pressed down Xiao Deng's fist raised to her chest. "So, what's Xiao Deng trying to say about how to keep the Astronomy Club going?"

I misunderstood what others meant again... Xiao Deng put down his hand with a slight look of disappointment, but still answered Qingchuan Xiang's question:

"As long as I can submit a report that the teacher approves of in this presentation, that's all that matters. It seems the astronomy department survived last year thanks to this."

"I see. If the number of members isn't enough, then the club can prove its capabilities through high-quality activities." Xiangzi nodded. "Hyome has certainly put a lot of effort into the club outside of studying."

"So Xiao Deng, have you figured out what to write in the report?"

"Not yet..." Xiao Deng shook her head in confusion, her short gray hair flying up, brushing against the faces of Qingchuan Xiangxiangzi and others who were too close, making it itchy. "I want to... go to the Astronomy Department first to look for the reports of the seniors."

"Xiao Deng likes stars so much, he will definitely write a good report." Qingchuan Xiang comforted her. As he spoke, he secretly stretched out his right hand, passed behind Xiao Deng quietly, nodded at Xiangzi, and signaled her to encourage Xiao Deng as well.

Qingchuan Xiang really cares about Xiaodeng.

Xiangzi, who was being tapped on the back, thought helplessly that not only Xiaodeng, but also himself, seemed to always lend a helping hand without hesitation. It was obvious that they didn't have a deep understanding of each other at the beginning. He only started to have a more correct understanding of Qingchuan Xiang from the day he quit the team, and it was only yesterday that he found out that Qingchuan Xiang had some other problems.

But Qingchuan Xiang didn't seem to mind these things at all. He just naturally asked if anyone needed help when they encountered difficulties.

And it's definitely not just for me and Xiao Deng. Judging from Su Shi's expression, she must have been involved as well. I just don't know if Xiao Mu and Li Xi have ever received Qingchuan Xiang's care.

Lixi is a person who pursues independence very much, and she is actually very capable. Her drumming skills are definitely among the best among the people Xiangzi knows. I heard that when she was in the band, she was actually good at studying, but she always cram before the exams, but she could still get good grades in the end. Maybe there is no time when she needs Qingchuan Xiang's help?

As for Xiao Mu... Xiangzi recalled the two times Xiao Mu came to see him. Both times, after he had been away for a while, Qingchuan Xiang and Xiao Mu seemed to have suddenly become very close.

The first time was when I was busy at work, or when the store manager Yu had brought forward his lunch break, but when I got to the next door, I saw that these two people had already started listening to music together on a pair of wired headphones.

The second time was yesterday, when Xiao Mu came to see him. Not wanting to draw too much attention, he went ahead and waited for them, asking Qingchuan Xiang to help him attract everyone's attention. This time, however, the time he didn't see her was even shorter, less than a few minutes. When he saw her again, Qingchuan Xiang had revealed a rare, radiant look. Xiangzi had no idea what happened during those few minutes.

Ugh.

Although he was having all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Xiangzi still said a few words to encourage Xiao Deng.

Xiao Deng should have no problem with the club activity report, because although she speaks awkwardly, she can write down her deep feelings. The teacher will not ask too much of a high school student. Xiangzi thinks that just the words that Xiao Deng expressed her love for the stars between the lines are enough to impress most people.

What's more, Xiao Deng will definitely do this matter very seriously. Even if he doesn't make it clear to others, the quality of the report he writes will not be bad.

As the tram slowed down and stopped again, the three of them got off the tram together and walked side by side. After getting off the tram, the three of them stood in the middle with Qingchuan Xiang walking in the middle, and Xiaodeng and Xiangzi on the left and right.

Most of the people getting off at this station are students attending school in Hanaoka, but even among the youthful JKs that can be seen everywhere on the street, Qingchuan Xiang, Xiangzi, and Xiaodeng all have very distinctive features and beautiful faces, and they can stand out among the crowd of JKs, attracting the gazes of many other girls from the same school.

So in a corner where the three of them couldn't see or hear anything, a few girls from classes A and B who were following behind and were known to the three of them started discussing.

"Hey, those three people walking side by side over there, the ones standing in the middle and on the right are Kiyokawa and Shoko, right?"

"That's right. Their hairstyles alone are very distinctive, and you can't mistake them just by looking at their backs!"

At first glance, Xiangzi has long, smooth blue hair that is casually spread out, but on both sides of his ears, he has two strands of hair divided into two parts with bow-shaped hair ties. This is simple yet very elegant.

Qingchuan Xiang actually just tied her hair into a simple bun, but the interesting thing is that this pearl-gray bun was tied on the side. I don’t know if it was simply because her hair braiding skills were a little poor or if she did it on purpose, but this small change made Qingchuan Xiang even more impressive.

However, Xiao Deng's hairstyle doesn't seem to have any special features. It's just an ordinary short hair. It doesn't seem to be conspicuous no matter where it is placed, not to mention that she is now next to Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi?

But soon someone recognized Xiao Deng: "That's Gao Songdeng from our class. She's very cute, just like a little animal. Sometimes you can see her in the classroom wiping the beautiful stones she picked up."

"Hey, this feels really interesting."

"But Qingchuan Xiang and Xiangzi are classmates, so it's normal for them to walk together. So, do the three of them know each other?"

"They're in the next class, so it's normal for them to know each other, right?"

"No, no, no, I smell something unusual! These three people are definitely more than just acquaintances!"

"You're here again! You're just messing around with couples!"
