Invade the World

  Chapter 191 "What a shame..."

   "This is a gift."

  Zhu Qingyue handed the bag in her hand to Li Qinglian.

   "Come on, give me any other gifts."

  In spite of this, Sister Lian's expression has obviously become happier, and she smiled and took the bag.

   "It's chocolate."

The squad leader whispered to Lin Xingjie who was silent at the table.

   "Very sweet, you have to remember to eat it, otherwise it will go bad."

"……Ok."

  The Rapunzel nodded gently.

   "You entertain her first, I'll go back to my room to clean up."

  Li Qinglian is now in a state of being beaten up, and it is indeed not suitable for meeting guests. She patted her brother on the shoulder and walked towards her bedroom.

  The three young men standing in the living room were left looking at each other.

  This room is not spacious. It’s okay when I walk around. It looks a bit crowded at this time.

  Zhu Qingyue glanced at the two bowls of dishes on the table, and said with a smile.

   "Thank you, Xiangyang."

"……what?"

  He was taken aback.

   "Tonight, some of the dishes are prepared for me, right?"

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

   "...Understood, I'll just do a few more."

   "Take the liberty to excuse me, thank you for your hard work."

  Zhu Qingyue said "hard work" on her lips, but in fact she actively took the little hand of Rapunzel, pulled her to turn on the TV, and the two sat down on the sofa together.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang in the kitchen took out the "likes to eat" mentioned by the squad leader from the bag, and prepared some new dishes.

  He could hear the voice coming from the direction of the sofa, but it was masked by the sound of the TV, and he could not hear the specific content.

  At first, when I saw Zhu Qingyue at the door, he was still a little nervous, and his throat felt blocked and panicked; but Xu Xiangyang is experienced, this kind of thing has always been a habit.

  His mood quickly calmed down, and he began to think about what the reaction of the two girls just now meant.

The squad leader’s visit this time was of course not accidental, but a surprise attack that was carefully planned.

  So, when she sees Lin Xingjie appearing in her home, she will definitely not be so simple that she feels like she is a guest, or even...

  Xu Xiangyang recalled the past and always felt that Zhu Qingyue had actually discovered the truth a long time ago.

  Thinking about it this way, the squad leader is angry right now because of his concealment. But when she turns into anger, what can she do with herself? The so-called "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water" is such a thing, Xu Xiangyang calmed down instead.

  What’s more, from the combination of the results he just observed and his understanding of the girl’s past, the squad leader is actually not that angry...

  Xu Xiangyang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but a happy greeting from the girl suddenly came from behind.

  "Hi~"

  He shrank his shoulders in fright, turned his head and looked at the squad leader standing at the door, frowning unconsciously.

   "What are you doing here?"

   "Of course I am helping."

  Zhu Qingyue naturally stepped into the narrow space with an attitude.

   "Can you...can help me cook?"

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

   "You look down on me too much."

  The girl poked him in the waist a little dissatisfied.

  "Have you forgotten that I do all the work at home, and I take care of my mother."

   "No, I mean..."

  He sighed.

   "You are actually willing to take the initiative to fight for me."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled lightly.

"No way, Xingjie seems to be still angry with you and refuses to come to help. I think it is too pitiful for you to work alone, maybe it will take a long time to do it. In order to prevent everyone from being hungry together, this At that time, my eldest lady had to help..."

   "——Who said I would not help?"

   Lin Xingjie’s voice sounded from behind them.

  The long-haired girl standing at the door of the kitchen hugged her arms with an unhappy expression on her face.

  ……

After   , young people became busy.

   Still the same sentence, this home is not big. It's okay when two people are busy. When three people are stuffed into the kitchen at the same time, it seems too crowded, but a little messy.

  Fortunately, there is a tacit agreement among the three friends after all; besides Xu Xiangyang's expectation, the squad leader's craftsmanship is really brilliant.

Different from Xu Xiangyang's field of expertise, once Zhu Qingyue makes a shot, whether it is seasoning or heating is very accurate, as if it has been measured with an instrument; the minced meat pieces cut by her are of strict specifications and are pleasing to the eye on the cutting board. Carved artwork.

  With the heat rising from the boiler, the temperature in the kitchen is also rising, and the clothes of young people are wetted by the sweat flowing down, and you will inadvertently catch a glimpse of the wonderful scenery of the happy season.

  In the process of cooking, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact such as rubbing and bumping. Xu Xiangyang is flustered, and for a moment only feels that he is not cooking, more like dancing on the tip of a knife...

"So hot."

  He touched the sweat on his forehead and thought.

  There was a layer of crystal sweat on the necks of the girls. Lin Xingjie was wearing a thin shirt at home, and the class leader had already taken off his coat, showing the beautiful and exquisite body curves, which made people think about it for a while.

  The two girls have healthy physical development, and they have good figures that girls of this age can envy. Xu Xiangyang has confirmed this when he was in the mall...

  I don't know if it is from the hair or the body that the faint fragrance exudes, one is like an empty valley or orchid, and the other is like a garden rose, lingering on the tip of his nose, even the strong smell of food can't be concealed.

In the end, I couldn’t stand the situation of having to be bored in a small space. The first person to escape was Lin Xingjie, and the second person to have to leave was Xu Xiangyang. Only the squad leader was able to do his job, and the last one continued to stay in the kitchen. .

  *

   "Xingjie, do you know Qingyue will come?"

After leaving the squad leader's sight, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help asking.

  Rapunzel shook her head.

   "...really." Xu Xiangyang sighed, "I feel a little sorry for her."

"Ok?"

  "I haven’t told her about the cohabitation of the two of us? This is a deliberate concealment. But the problem lies with me, I forgot to drag it..."

  As he said, he secretly glanced in the direction of the girl, only to see Lin Xingjie's mouth open, looking at herself with an incredible expression.

   "What are you talking about, Xiangyang?"

   "Yeah, he seems to have misunderstood something."

  Zhu Qingyue did not know when she had already walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing an apron and holding a spoon in her hand, shaking again and again, her condescending smile gave Xu Xiangyang a bad feeling.

   "——I have already told Qingyue about the matter between us."

   Lin Xingjie frowned.

  "I told her the next day after you mentioned it last time."

  ……

……what?

   "Then, how long ago was that?"

  Xu Xiangyang was dumbfounded.

   "I forgot."

   Lin Xingjie’s answer made him unacceptable.

   "It was probably a month ago."

   "This... why don't you tell me?"

  But the girl’s reaction was more surprised than him:

  "Is it necessary? This is not a very important thing..."

  Xu Xiangyang was speechless for a while.

He originally thought that the squad leader had noticed the fact that the two of them were living together a long time ago, so he was flustered; he didn’t expect Lin Xingjie to tell her the truth a long time ago, and he did not expect that the squad leader knew this. But it didn’t break, deliberately misleading him to think in another direction, basically making fun of his flustered performance——

  "Are you okay? I'll go back and work if I'm okay."

   Lin Xingjie walked back to the kitchen on her own.

   "Puff."

  The squad leader who had been on the sidelines couldn't help but laugh out loud.

   "Have you seen it, Xingjie is completely different from you."

……indeed so.

  He held his forehead and sighed.

  I should have thought of it long ago.

  Xingjie is not like him, who has such and such concerns. It is better to say that he cares about holding this matter in his mind for so long and not talking to Zhu Qingyue, who is a friend, this is not like her style.

   "You will know tomorrow morning, but still..."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help muttering.

   "Huh? Didn't I tell you a long time ago."

  Zhu Qingyue tilted her head.

   "'I and you two have never been on the same starting line'... Have you forgotten what I said?"

   "So, does that sentence mean this?"

"if not?"

  Her voice slowly became lower.

   "——The two live under the same roof, so they are really shameless...... Are you right?"

  The squad leader’s voice became smaller and smaller, and Xu Xiangyang could no longer hear him when he was completely overwhelmed by the noise coming from the kitchen.

  Nevertheless, he can guess what the other party wants to say.

  Xu Xiangyang was speechless, and could only silently watch the girl turn and leave.

  *

  After the three of them brought all the dishes, the door of the sister's room was pushed open.

  This young woman put on a ponytail and put on a coat. She looked clean and heroic. At first glance, she gave a shrewd and capable impression, but what she said made people laugh and cry:

   "Is the meal ready? I'm almost starving!"

  Li Qinglian yelled, while sitting down on the chair with a grin.

   "Sister Lian, you are an elder."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little helpless.

   "How can there be one who is idle alone, letting the younger generation prepare dinner."

   "Haha, do you have a specialization in surgery."

Sister Lian turned her head and blinked narrowly at him.

   "I see the three of you cooking together, isn't it very happy."

  Xu Xiangyang smiled dryly, just pretending not to hear.

  ……

  The position of the round table is slightly moved to the middle, so that four people can sit down and eat together.

  Li Qinglian sat on the chair facing the door, Xu Xiangyang was opposite her, and on either side of her left and right hands were two beautiful young girls.

  She looked at Lin Xingjie on the left and Zhu Qingyue on the right. Then she looked at her brother who was caught in the middle, with a very satisfied expression on her face for some reason.

  For Chinese, eating time is also an occasion for chatting. Li Qinglian enthusiastically picked up dishes for a few people while asking about Zhu Qingyue.

The squad leader    will naturally not back down. Her manner is polite and gentle, and her answers are fluent. Unknowingly, the two of them have become the masters of the dining table atmosphere; while Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie are eating silently, and will only reply to a few words only when they are asked.

   "This way, I didn't expect your grades to be so good, and your ranking in school is higher than Xiao Yang."

   "Hehe, in fact, the gap between the first and the second is not that big."

  Sir, the squad leader covered his lips, and replied with a light smile.

   "It feels like I will be overtaken by him if I am not careful."

   Hearing this is quite modest, but if it is matched with the girl's smiling expression, it seems to be showing off.

"Ashamed, I am very busy at work and I don't have time to take care of them on weekdays." Li Qinglian sighed. In less than half an hour, the short-haired girl in front of her has completely won her trust, so she used "everything". Entrust it to you" said earnestly, "I have to ask you to pay more attention to their homework in the future."

   "No problem." The squad leader agreed, "We are all friends."

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie put rice in their mouths expressionlessly, they looked exactly the same.

  ……

After   , Sister Lian enthusiastically said that she would do the dishes by herself, saying that she wanted to save time and place to young people so that they could have a good chat.

Then--

   "Xiangyang, okay?"

  The squad leader reminded in a low voice.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

  He looked at Xingjie and found that the girl was looking at him at the same moment.

  Since just now, she has been acting very quietly, and the deep pupils are like fireflies.

   "Xiang Yang, you said a week ago that you have important things to tell me, can you tell me now?"

   "Don't say anything, today is going to pass." The squad leader shook his head, "It's no good not to keep the promise. I am a witness."

"……I see."

  Xu Xiangyang knew that it was indeed time. He nodded solemnly.

   "Xingjie, can I go to your room to chat?"

"Ok."

   Lin Xingjie nodded and agreed.

  ……

  So, they walked into the girl's boudoir together.

   "It tastes good."

  The squad leader sniffed unpretentiously.

Lin Xingjie next to    naturally noticed her movement, and her pretty cheeks were slightly red.

  Xu Xiangyang also thinks the smell in the bedroom is very good, but he can't say it, lest he feel like a pervert.

  His gaze flicked around, and the furnishings in the room were neat and tidy. The sheets and curtains were in plain color, and there were no other decorations or toys.

  This room originally belonged to Li Qinglian. Lin Xingjie stayed in alone, without any purchases. Only a few clothes hung on the side of the closet that made it clear that this was a bedroom belonging to a young girl.

   "What are you sneaking up on."

  The squad leader pushed him with his elbow, with a malicious smile on his face.

   "Don't watch enough?"

   "Don't talk nonsense, I don't usually stop by."

  Xu Xiangyang put his hand on his mouth and coughed gently.

   "Talk to business."

"……good."

   Lin Xingjie quietly glanced at Zhu Qingyue.

  Xu Xiangyang noticed her small eyes and immediately explained:

  "Qingyue needs to listen to this matter because it is related to her."

   Lin Xingjie blinked without disagreeing.

  Xu Xiangyang finally spoke, and with his words, the girl’s face was becoming paler...
