Invade the World

  Chapter 99 Hanging out on weekends

  The three people temporarily left the classroom and came to the corridor.

   "You are really amazing."

  Xu Xiangyang said to Zhu Qingyue sincerely.

   "Huh? Of course I am amazing."

  The other party tilted his head, taking it for granted.

   "Everyone knows this very well. Not only in our class, but students and teachers in the whole grade now, I am afraid they have heard of my name."

Because the test papers this time were issued by other schools, the results of Zhu Qingyue and Xu Xiangyang were a sigh of relief for the 15th Middle School in the education circle of the city. Several head teachers mentioned it in the class meeting, so the news soon It spread throughout the second grade of high school.

   "Hey, I mean, don't be too smug..."

   Staring at Zhu Qingyue, who said very arrogant words in a very calm tone, Xu Xiangyang felt helpless.

  The main reason is that what she said are facts and it is not easy to refute; it may be that it sounds harsher in the ears of a defeated man like him.

  The gap between other people and Zhu Qingyue is even more obvious, or they have long been used to someone sitting on the throne of the first grade. Hearing similar words will only feel convinced.

  This is what the girls in the class call "the lone lonely begs for defeat".

  Zhu Qingyue covered her lips, "haha" laughed.

  "However, I do hope to hear good things from my friends more than others’ praise. Come on, you guys have to boast more and more praise."

   "Okay," Lin Xingjie said without expression on his face, "You are so amazing, you are so amazing, you are so amazing, you are so amazing."

  "You are so amazing, you are so amazing, you are so amazing..."

  Xu Xiangyang repeated the reading.

   "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled happily, her pretty eyes almost narrowed.

"Oh, I really feel better. If you have any questions, just ask." She said, "Of course, Xu Xiangyang, I know that although you lost in this monthly exam, you didn't mean to give up, right. Bar?"

   "...Yes." Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Our match is not over yet."

  "Then, you and I are still competitors in the future, so if you want to ask me about my learning tips, I may not answer."

   "...I just feel a little curious."

  Xu Xiangyang lay on the railing, and said the question that made him feel incomprehensible.

   "To your level, you can still make progress. Is it possible that you didn't give your best last time?"

   "The so-called'learning is endless', there is always room for improvement before it reaches the full mark level."

  Zhu Qingyue raised her head and looked at the blue sky like him.

   "——The most important thing is that I am very happy."

  She put her hands on the railing, her tone of voice was very brisk.

   "Since I took the step of change, I felt a big rock in my heart fell to the ground, and my whole person became relaxed all of a sudden."

  The sleeves and hair were blown together by the wind. The short-haired girl standing on the edge of the corridor spoke with a light and fluttering voice as if she was about to fly into the sky.

  Zhu Qingyue lifted up a strand of messy hair beside her ear with her little finger, turned her head and smiled at the two of them.

   "I think, for me, this kind of mentality should be the biggest boost to learning, and thank you all for this."

  ——Satisfaction, accomplishment, and expectations hidden in the heart.

I see.

  Xu Xiangyang finally understood.

  The reason Zhu Qingyue can make progress is the same as mine.

  It's not just him, not just Lin Xingjie. As their friend, Zhu Qingyue has the same psychological experience.

  As he said, the two fought under the same conditions-this is not only about the challenges they face, but also for the good.

  This is how it feels to be both a friend and an opponent...

  The last trace of annoyance in Xu Xiangyang's heart, followed by her words disappeared.

  It is undoubtedly a happy thing for a friend to empathize with oneself; the challenge of failure itself seems not worth mentioning in comparison.

   "However, since it is a challenge and there is a victory or defeat, there should be rewards and punishments, right?"

  However, Zhu Qingyue's next sentence stunned Xu Xiangyang.

"……what?"

  "Don’t understand? Reward and punishment mechanism."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and shook her fingers.

"Among the methods of stimulating learning, this is the simplest and most effective: rewards if you achieve good results, and punishments if you fail, leaving a deep enough impression on people, so that you can unknowingly Change one's habits..."

   "That's right!" Lin Xingjie said suddenly, "It's like if I didn't complete the study task, Xiang Yang wouldn't show me a movie——"

   "Huh~?"

  Zhu Qingyue's expression became a little subtle, but she still quickly thought of the reason.

   "By the way, after all, do you two live close together? It seems that you often watch discs together?"

   "...Anyway, in short," Lin Xingjie flushed slightly, and said quickly, "Are you trying to punish Xu Xiangyang?"

   "The punishment is a bit too much, but since it is a loser in the game, you have to pay a little price?" Zhu Qingyue replied, "After all, this is his initiative. I don't mean to force it."

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the faces of the two girls.

   "This..." He looked at Zhu Qingyue's smile, a little nervous for some reason, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I don't think this is necessary? We didn't make an appointment at the time."

   "I thought it was a self-explanatory agreement." The girl had a very strange expression, "If you don't say it, it means you are willing to accept any punishment. Isn't that true?"

   "Of course not! What you are talking about is simply the overlord contract!"

  "It seems that our two opinions have disagreements." Zhu Qingyue sighed in annoyance, "Then follow the previous practice and vote fairly?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought that Lin Xingjie would definitely help her refuse. In the end he found that the long-haired girl was showing a pensive expression, and it took a while before he hesitated and said:

   "...I want to listen to the content of the punishment before deciding."

"what?"

  Xu Xiangyang was dumbfounded.

"OK."

  Zhu Qingyue seemed to have expected it, and directly took Lin Xingjie's hand.

   "Come here, come here, I will tell you."

  Under Xu Xiangyang’s horrified gaze, they walked to an empty corner on the side of the corridor and began to discuss quietly.

  A whisper-like voice came from that direction, making Xu Xiangyang feel at a loss.

  A few minutes later, I saw Lin Xing Cleansing her face with joy, and strode back towards Xu Xiangyang.

  After clearing her throat, she announced with a serious face.

  "I agree to Zhu Qingyue's proposal."

   "...Huh? What did she, she said to you!"

  Xu Xiangyang panicked. He looked at Zhu Qingyue who was standing beside her with a smile on his face, and he felt that the expression on her face seemed to be unkind.

   "Then Xingjie, let's see you on Sunday."

Zhu Qingyue said to Lin Xingjie.

   "Okay." Lin Xingjie nodded vigorously, "I will go back and prepare."

  "As for you, Xiangyang."

  She pointed to herself.

   "Remember to spare the rest day."

   "Wait, wait, what's the matter with you, I don't understand at all!" Xu Xiangyang couldn't help shouting, "And I haven't agreed yet!"

   "You just need to be obedient."

  Zhu Qingyue said with a smile.

  "A show of hands is the fairest way to vote. This is what you put forward first. You have to follow it carefully."

   "Yes, yes." The long-haired girl shook her head up and down like a chicken pecking at rice, "Otherwise, the pain I have suffered will not be eaten for nothing? I have to let Xiangyang taste this feeling too."

  You are public revenge!

   "The class meeting is about to start, everyone be quiet."

  Just when Xu Xiangyang was still scratching his head, the class teacher’s voice came from behind.

  Turning his head to look, the head teacher is standing by the window, shouting at the noisy students in the classroom. This behavior is also to remind the three of them to pay attention to the impact.

  Zhu Qingyue waved at them and turned to leave.

  Xu Xiangyang was helpless, still a little confused about the "punishment" that was about to come to him, but he could only return to the classroom with Lin Xingjie behind the head teacher.

  *

  ...The day has finally arrived.

  This day is the weekend. Xu Xiangyang, who hadn't been in school uniform for a long time but put on a casual outfit, held the paper with the address and the stick figure map in his hand, raised his head and looked forward.

  An imposing building stands in front of him.

  This is a newly opened department store with a total of three floors.

  Red colored **** hung on the door beams in front of the mall, and two huge hot air balloons floated in the wind on both sides, and wide fonts with hot gold lettering hung from above.

In the loud loudspeaker, the enthusiastic man’s voice repeatedly yelled advertisements such as "Big opening bargain". There were doormen in uniforms in front of the door, and they smiled at the guests who stepped into the gate of the mall. Bow and welcome.

  During this time, the advertising section of the Daily Evening News and the major radio stations in Jinjiang City are full of news about this newly opened department store, which seems to have spent a lot of publicity.

And the result of this kind of overwhelming advertising did not disappoint the owner who built the mall. The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended yesterday, and it was officially opened for less than a day. The mall was crowded with people inside and outside, and it seemed like half of the city was full of people. The tone rushed over.

  As the saying goes, it’s human nature to join in the fun. The news spread eleven and many citizens knew about the existence of this newly opened department store.

  This department store has been in the limelight in Jinjiang City for a while, and it even covers several old commercial streets nearby and the flyover mall and underground market in the city center.

  Xu Xiangyang's current location is a fork in the road. Vehicles can't pass. Only the bustling crowd merges with the trend. Passing by him, they all walk in the open entrance in front.

  In the noisy and crowded crowd, his expression was slightly confused.

  Why did you come to such a place?

  He has no interest in shopping malls. According to his previous habit, he should spend his time studying hard at home now...

   "Hi~ Xiangyang, you are here first."

  He was patted on the shoulder.

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head, and suddenly stayed for a while, as if his eyes were flashed by something dazzling.

  ——A girl in a white dress catches the eye.

  Zhu Qingyue was standing there happily, staring at herself with a smile, the young girl’s hair was shining golden from the bright sun falling from the top of her head.

The white veil skirt swayed in the wind, and the blue ribbon on her waist fell down; further down was a smooth jade-like calf without socks, and her feet were wearing strappy sandals, showing her toes and ankle.

   Zhu Qingyue, who is pure and white, looks like a princess walking out of the castle. It is more impressive than she who wears school uniforms and the small suit last time.

……Xu Xiangyang felt that he might have unforgettable this moment of inner touch, and even wondered whether he should bring the Polaroid at home so that such a beautiful scene can be kept forever, otherwise, if you just let this memory go. Slowly as time goes by, it is a pity to fade and forget in my mind.

  Zhu Qingyue opened her arms very cooperatively, turned around like a butterfly on the spot, and asked.

"is it beautiful?"

"……very beautiful."

  Xu Xiangyang tried not to let his eyes look dull.

  Just look at how many people in the passing crowd can't help but look over here, and how many people stop subconsciously, you know how lethal this purely dressed class leader classmate is.

  Zhu Qingyue seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said again.

   "Well, it's too simple to say, let's boast more."

   "You look beautiful in everything you wear." Xu Xiangyang sighed, "...I mean it."

  He didn't wait for the girl to respond, so he couldn't help asking next.

   "Called me to this place on Sunday, saying that I was going to ‘punish’, but I’ve been reluctant to say it. Now is it time to tell the truth?"

   "The so-called'punishment' is just an excuse."

  Zhu Qingyue answered very candidly this time.

   "My real idea is to take this opportunity to ask Xingjie to come out to play, build a relationship with her, and deepen the friendship between each other."

  Xu Xiangyang is not too surprised.

  In fact, he had already expected it. After all, Lin Xingjie couldn't withstand his inquiry. Not long after returning, she told him what Zhu Qingyue had said to her, as well as the schedule of Sunday activities:

  That is to ask him to help Zhu Qingyue, as her attendant, by the way, carry the goods purchased from the mall.

  And as long as you think about it, you can know that for Zhu Qingyue, there is only one person who needs her to find excuses and circumscribe the relationship to get closer—

  As the saying goes, "Drunkard does not mean wine."

   "...you don't want to get in touch with me?"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help asking.

  Zhu Qingyue found that the boy's eyes were really a little bit of real grievance, and couldn't help but laughed "Puff".

  "Could it be that there are any boys in this world who don't want to have a good relationship with me?"

  She lightly shook her finger at Xu Xiangyang.

   "I just have to treat them with a gentle attitude, and I don't need to work hard to win them over."

  You look down on people too much!

   "But don't worry, Xiangyang, as my friend, there are still special treatments, which other boys will definitely not be able to enjoy."

  Zhu Qingyue patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder, and walked lightly beside him.

   "Before that, I will work hard for you today."
