Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 236 The Loser Xiaoxiang

After Wakaba Mutsumi picked up the porcelain bowl and drank every last drop of the red broth from the "Ultimate Spicy Reincarnation Ramen,"...

Thus, in this silent spicy food eating contest, Ruoye Mu deservedly won first place, and Bai Qiu came in second.

As for Xiangzi, he was still struggling with the ramen, looking miserable.

"Clang!" a sound.

Ruo Ye Mu put down the bowl in her hand, fixed her gaze on Bai Qiu, and then licked her lips, which were red from eating too many chili peppers at once. "Qiu, I've finished drinking it all."

Like a child hoping for praise, Mu looked at Bai Qiu with a slight glint in her eyes.

Bai Qiu and Chu Hua exchanged a glance, both seeing expressions of amazement on each other's faces.

Mu, are you a monster?

No, how could that be?

Bai Qiu immediately shook his head inwardly with amusement. Xiao Mu Tou was just a kind-hearted wooden person who was not good at speaking and loved cucumbers. How could he be a monster?

"Mu, I'm starting to admire you."

Bai Qiu sincerely praised her, then thoughtfully handed Xiao Mu a tissue to wipe her mouth, and asked with some concern, "But Mu, is your body okay like this?"

Shouldn't he have stopped him?

Unlike Xiangzi, who had already finished two cups of cola, Mu had barely taken a few sips of his only cola before gulping down the spiciest noodle soup in one go.

"fine."

Mu's voice rose slightly as she happily accepted the tissue Bai Qiu offered her.

Then, turning his head, he saw that Xiangzi hadn't finished eating. Mu wiped his mouth before picking up the Coke next to him and slowly sipping it through the straw to moisten his throat.

"It's good that everything is alright." Bai Qiu smiled.

Then Bai Qiu looked at Xiangzi and saw that Xiangzi's lips were trembling from the spiciness.

He even tried to imitate Mu by picking up the bowl to drink the soup, but Bai Qiu quickly reached out and pressed on Xiangzi's wrist to stop him.

"Xiangzi, let's not drink too much."

To save face for Xiangzi, Bai Qiu included herself in the list.

Instantly, Xiangzi's flushed face turned to Bai Qiu, his pearly teeth biting his lip in resentment, his face revealing a sense of defeat after being defeated by Mu.

"Bai Qiu, I..."

Xiangzi pursed his lips, originally intending to say that he could drink.

But realizing she was out of Coke and feeling the burning sensation on her lips, she hesitated.

Bai Qiu's deep eyes saw all of this.

Xiangzi, your stubborn and inflexible personality makes it easy for you to suffer.

Fortunately, it was him. In order to stop Xiangzi from continuing to act tough, Bai Qiu pointed to his bowl and said with a smile:

"Xiangzi, I didn't finish the noodle soup either."

"Let's not follow Xiao Mu's example. You can't generalize about the physical condition of different people."

Xiangzi glanced down at Bai Qiu's bowl; indeed, Bai Qiu hadn't finished her soup either.

Feeling the strength and warmth of Bai Qiu's hand on his wrist, Xiangzi felt a sense of comfort.

Okay, even though she lost the spicy food challenge, Bai Qiu still cares about her.

Bai Qiu winked at Chu Hua again, hoping Chu Hua would understand his thoughts.

Chu Hua had been focused on the hand Bai Qiu was holding Xiangzi's, and was also biting her lip with a look of resentment. Fortunately, she noticed Bai Qiu's suggestive gaze and quickly smiled:

"Xiangzi is already very good at eating so much, he doesn't need to finish the soup."

"...Okay, then I won't drink it."

Xiangzi, seizing the opportunity, gave a hesitant reply, though he was a little embarrassed to look at Mu's expression.

Bai Qiu then released Xiangzi's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Chu Hua a gratified look.

As expected, Chu Hua understood him best.

A happy smile appeared on Chu Hua's great face, and the bitterness in her heart was washed away.

The thought that when they went back, Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mu would leave first, and only she and Bai Qiu would be sitting at the same stop made Chu Hua even more excited.

……

……

P.S.: This chapter was originally planned to include Bai Qiu taking Mu and Chu Hua home; or Bai Qiu going to Mu's house and meeting Minami-chan. But I hesitated because of the eighth episode... I'll leave it at that for now.
