Invade the World

  Chapter 14 I want to go the same way as you

  The giant fish disappeared as soon as the wind blows it like a bubble floating on the water. Lin Xingjie got rid of her strength, sat down softly, leaning against the wall.

  The exhaustion at that moment came like a tide, and even breathing was tired. She gritted her teeth and persisted, and did not let the boy in her arms fall to the ground.

  Is... the aftereffect of summoning monsters in reality?

Lin Xingjie, who showed her majesty for the first time, was too late to be happy or surprised by her unimaginable power. She even forgot to send her to the hospital. Her arm was numb by Xu Xiangyang’s weight, but she still did not loosen it. , But just hugged each other's head on his knees and fell asleep drowsily.

  ...

  Xu Xiangyang's consciousness gradually recovered.

   "I am..."

  He felt enthusiasm on his cheeks, a dull, breathless feeling, and he quickly forced himself to open his eyes.

  The scene before him was completely beyond his imagination.

Lin Xingjie, who was leaning against the wall, closed her eyes and lowered her head, as if she was asleep. The black long straight hair scattered along the gravity fell on his face, gently scratching his nose like a life. Itching.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback. He realized that he was lying on the girl's thigh, and through the clothes and pants, he still felt the skin heat from the back of his head and side face, which made Xu Xiangyang very uncomfortable.

  But he did not move. Xu Xiangyang looked up at Lin Xingjie's sleeping face. He had never seen her at such a time. The girl’s fair face and correct facial features were shining in the sunset, and she looked peaceful and serene, like a lifelike goddess; only the band-aid on her side face, Give people a vivid impression of a young girl.

  He was a little bit dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.

  After a while, Lin Xingjie’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes, as if awakened by his movements. The girl rubbed her eyes and murmured.

   "You woke up."

   "Uh...ah."

   Xu Xiangyang recovered, suddenly there was an inexplicable panic. She didn't seem to notice what was wrong with the current situation.

   "I, I just—"

  As his breathing gradually calmed down, Xu Xiangyang was finally able to speak, but he looked a little dumb because of his dry throat.

   "You were scared to pass out just now, so timid."

  Lin Xingjie thought for a while, tilted her head slightly, and answered with a chuckle.

  ...There is such a thing?

   By the way, they were watched by a group of wild dogs, and then he just...wait, he really seemed to have passed out like this? Right in front of each other? Is he so afraid of dogs?

  Xu Xiangyang coughed, sat up a little embarrassed, and walked away from the girl’s knee.

  But at this moment, he completely recalled what happened just now; no, the problem is not with the dog, but he saw it...saw something very strange!

   "Where are the dogs?"

   "Run. I just yelled casually, but they were all scared away. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

   While speaking, Lin Xingjie glanced at the scene where the thing he had summoned was "destroyed". The wild dogs stuck together have been eaten to the point, and there is no blood left behind.

   "The group of puppies looked a little bit fierce, but they weren’t going to do anything hurtful. It seemed that we both were overly worried."

Is it really?

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help holding his forehead and looked at each other suspiciously. Lin Xingjie still had that very natural attitude, and continued:

"But, I still want to thank you. I thought you were scared just now and turned around and fled. These dogs are really full of momentum, and they can be said to be scary nearby. Adults with children saw it, Will go around."

  Lin Xingjie patted the dust on her body. After she stood up, she turned lightly in a circle. She put her hands behind her waist and looked down at him.

   "Unexpectedly, it was already afternoon. How do you feel? Would you like me to accompany you to the hospital?"

   "Uh, no more."

"…Yes."

  The girl nodded and said again.

"I'm leaving."

  She dropped these words and was about to leave.

   "Wait, didn't you say it's good to have dinner together?"

  Xu Xiangyang subconsciously stopped the opponent.

   "Do you want to be with me?"

   Lin Xingjie turned her head, with a smile on her face.

  Xu Xiangyang frowned, always feeling that she had a little changed.

   "I said it was breakfast. If you want to invite me to dinner, please invite me again."

  Xu Xiangyang ignored her joking, but frowned and asked:

   "So, what are you going to do? Not going home."

"why would you say so?"

  He pointed to the girl's hand.

  The slender palms drilled out of the sleeves of the wide windbreaker are firmly holding the handle end of the swinging stick, pressing so hard that the fingertips turn white, and the blue capillaries are looming.

   "You said this... I'm not paying you anymore?"

  She passed the swing stick.

  Xu Xiangyang did not take it, but pointed out with a serious face:

   "I think you want to hit someone."

"It's this problem again..." Lin Xingjie sighed, "Well, I admit, I plan to find them. I can't not get revenge. You have been bullied, can you still fight back? If you choose Be patient, they will think you are so bullied, and then you can't turn over again, understand?"

   Out of prudent consideration, Lin Xingjie’s original plan was mainly self-protection. But now, after she found out that she did have the ability to retaliate, her mind changed.

   "I said, I didn't mean to stop you. Although I think it's better to call the police, but I don't think you are happy..."

"Of course I'm not happy." Lin Xingjie interrupted him, "Don't say that they are all minors. Can you handle it? Even if all these people are locked in, what does it have to do with me? Such a big loss must be retaliated against from them. Not to mention—"

  She paused, and her voice became a little light and fluttering.

"If the police came to investigate, everyone in the school would know that I was... uh, what was the name of that term? By the way, I was'attempted rape'. Student Xu Xiangyang, what do you think my situation would be like at that time? "

"This…"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mind being looked at with strange eyes. I'm used to it anyway." The girl spread her hands indifferently, "It's just that I think if this happens, the school will really expel me. I don’t think the teachers can bear me anymore."

  Xu Xiangyang was silent and did not answer.

  Lin Xingjie’s grades are of course not good, but this does not mean that this girl is stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart, has more social experience than herself, and will consider more comprehensively than herself.

  Because of this...because of this, he felt even more bored in his chest, feeling out of breath.

  She must understand some things, why not do it or change it?

  He wanted to stop her because he was worried that Lin Xingjie would cause trouble. Don't wait for the person who did the bad thing to be fine. In the end, she was sent to the juvenile control office first. But think about it carefully, why does he have to stop the other party? This matter must be managed, that matter must be managed, he is not Lin Xingjie's parent.

  Xu Xiangyang really doesn’t understand what he thinks now.

  Although the relationship between the two was very rigid, he saved her yesterday. Of course he didn’t think there was a problem, but he felt very thankful. This was a great thing to stand up... But at that time, he really felt that it would be good to save the other party. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with him. In line with his wishes.

   But now? In the end, he still couldn't help but want to take care of her nosy, far from being as cool as he thought.

Every time he sees Lin Xingjie, there will always be complex emotions in his heart. This emotion has been generated not long after he met her, and it is also true at this moment; and once this emotion is expressed, it is irritability, a kind of ignorance. Why is the irritability...

  His face is tight. Lin Xingjie didn't speak, didn't leave, just looked at herself quietly.

  The sun falling above his head was getting hotter and warmer, and the boring fire in his chest was burning. That day, I heard the guy in the back row talk about Lin Xingjie’s boyfriend, and that guy deliberately let himself hear it. At that time, this was the feeling that emerged in his heart.

  Xu Xiangyang thought that he hated others to associate himself with a bad girl, so he said to others, "I and Lin Xingjie are not the same", but now it seems that this is not the case.

  Xu Xiangyang let out a long sigh.

  ...It's really complicated. Don't talk about understanding what the girl in front of me is thinking, he can't even understand his own heart.

  He followed his mood and said in a deep voice:

   "And then? After that, what are you going to do again?"

"What's the meaning?"

   "Will you still be like the past?"

   "Strange question," Lin Xingjie blinked, her expression was a little weird, "What else can I become?"

  If Lin Xingjie continues to lead her current life, if she still has no changes, she will still be targeted. Even if she retaliates against those people this time, they may find someone to retaliate next time...

  And one day, the other party will meet the same thing as yesterday.

  At that time, will he still have a chance to save her? In other words, besides himself, who else can offer her a helping hand?

  When he thought of this, that irritability seemed to have accumulated to the top, from his heart to his throat. Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but say that sentence:

  "Have you...never thought about changing it?"

  Lin Xingjie did not answer. The pupils staring at him were as dark as black ink, showing no emotion at all, and her expression was unusually calm.

  Xu Xiangyang can’t control what she is thinking, so he just puts out all of her thoughts in one mind:

"Have you never thought about what you will become in the future? If you encounter something like that in the future...you are only one person, but there are more than one other party, and as long as you don't want to stay away from this group of people, they will keep pestering you. What should you do? If this goes on, there will be no good results. Sooner or later, something will happen! What you should do is to completely change yourself, get your life back on track, and live like an ordinary student. Go to your parents, elders, teachers, police, and adults to help you, instead of always trying to find a solution alone. I don’t know what difficulties you have, but I think the best way to get out of the current situation is to study. Now At the beginning, there was still enough time to get a good university, get a scholarship, and then..."

  He got stuck in the middle of what he said. The more Xu Xiangyang said just now, the more emotional he became. After he stopped, he couldn't think of how to continue.

  As the so-called “talking shallow and deep”, Xu Xiangyang realized that what he said impulsively for a time was what he said without a standpoint. Like the other's elders, he pointed people's lives condescendingly. Whether right or wrong, he would only think "this person has a problem in his brain" when he hears other people's ears.

  He thought the opponent would turn his head and walk straight away. However, the reaction of the other party exceeded his expectations.

"you are right."

  Lin Xingjie looked calm and nodded in agreement, without any anger at all.

  "..."

   "However, there are always difficulties. You can't expect everyone to understand the lives of others."

  The girl's eyes fell elsewhere, and she unconsciously rubbed the hair that fell to her ears.

  "Change itself is not an easy task. You said don’t be alone. Where can you find ordinary students as friends now?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt that his tongue was a little dry. He licked his lips, and after hesitating for a while, he whispered.

"…I can help you."

"Oh?"

  Lin Xingjie’s gaze turned back again.

  "Didn't you say that you weren't the same with me? Why did you help me?"

   "I meant to say..."

  Xu Xiangyang didn't expect that the other party would suddenly mention the matter of that afternoon, and the conversation stopped.

  It turns out that she has always cared about this sentence?

  ...No, it's not right. She was never the only one who cared.

  Xu Xiangyang once again remembered the scene when the two met for the first time.

  He seemed to have a clue: about the ignorance in his heart, about the unreasonable irritability, and the opinions on Lin Xingjie, and the emotions that seemed to be a mess... he finally understood a little bit.

   "I mean, I always feel sorry that we didn't get on the same road."

He said.

   "That's it."

  Lin Xingjie nodded again, the expression on her face still did not change much.

  She looked down at her shoes, then looked up at his face, and did not speak for a while.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't understand her thoughts, so she stood there stupidly.

   Then, he saw Lin Xingjie stretch out a hand from his sleeve and raise a fist towards him.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

  Want to...want to beat me? But she doesn't look like it, it's more like...is she shy? It doesn't seem to have strength in the fist.

   "Hurry up, don't make people embarrassed."

  The girl whispered.

  I don't know if it was his illusion, the white jade-like cheeks were slightly red.

"you…"

   "Yes. I also...think so."

  Lin Xingjie's eyes are very serious.

  In spite of this, Xu Xiangyang still felt that her thoughts had become too easy to change, a little overwhelming. But he still raised his hand subconsciously, and gently fisted the opponent.

  Lin Xingjie may have been a martial arts heroine in her previous life, he thought, the action agreed with others was actually this.

  After the two put down their hands, they were speechless for a while.

"Speaking first," the girl put her hand to her mouth and coughed lightly, "Since everyone is going to walk the same way, we are friends who want to help each other from now on. You have to do what you say. ."

   "As long as you are really...really willing to change, I will help you."

"Then do you mind staying with me for a while? I'm hungry and want to go to dinner. I'll treat you...ah, don't get me wrong, I said before that I want to repay you, but that's not the only thing, not just being a friend It doesn't count."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded hesitantly.

   "But, will your parents worry? Don't you need to go back and say something?"

   "Don't worry, my family won't care about me."

   Lin Xingjie turned her face, and took the initiative to walk in front.

  In a place where Xu Xiangyang could not see, her beautiful eyes narrowed gently like a cat when she was touched, and her expression was both lovely and green with a little green charm. The girl's happy mood was beyond words.

  "Hurry up and go!" She walked lightly and strode forward, "If it falls somewhere, I won't wait for you."

  ...Are you not planning to treat guests at all?

  Xu Xiangyang thought, but unconsciously speeded up a bit, followed behind the girl with black long straight hair and headed towards the street.
