Invade the World

  Chapter 24 Cry Good

   "Wait...wait! What are you crying for?"

  Lin Xingjie panicked all of a sudden, and the teardrops that had been circulating in her eyes were taken back.

   "No, nothing..."

  Xu Xiangyang wanted to wipe away the tears, but the warm tears gushed out again, and the tears could not stop rolling onto the back of his hand.

"I just……"

  He opened his mouth, and finally let out a long breath.

   "I want to apologize to you."

"You, how can you say that..." The girl's slender brows frowned tightly, "No, absolutely not, you haven't done anything to sorry me, and you are the only person who is kind to me and has helped me. Only you can't Apologize to me, there is no such reason."

"I'm apologizing for what I said before," Xu Xiangyang covered his forehead, thinking of what happened after the coma that day, his face was hot, "I don't know you at all, but he said with an amazing look. Those words..."

   "No, I think you are right." Lin Xingjie shook her head vigorously, "Moreover, it's normal for you not to know me. It's just because...I never gave anyone a chance."

  Girls know very well, "I don't want to involve others in their troubles" and "Afraid to hurt others", all of the above are actually just excuses.

   Even if adults can’t help themselves, if they can make more friends in school, maybe the situation won’t get so bad.

The real reason is nothing more than that she is a coward, afraid of being deceived, so she never dared to take that step; she is like trying to curl up, facing the hedgehog outside with the thorns, fearing to hurt others. I was afraid of being hurt by others again; until I was really desperate, I panicked and wanted to ask for help, only to find that I was already alone and helpless.

   Fortunately, she is no longer alone.

  "It doesn’t matter anymore. I even feel very lucky that the first true friend I know is you, not someone else. Without you, I might really give up on myself..."

   Lin Xingjie has thought about her future more than once, and she has also wondered if it’s better not to be so stubborn.

  I can’t escape anyway, I can’t avoid it, maybe it’s easier not to think about anything. No longer resist, accept it, others learn to accept everything they want to do to her, rather than keep resisting; like the group of people learn to smoke and drink, sing and dance until graduation or simply being dropped out of school. If you still want to stay in this neighborhood, you must either do odd jobs everywhere to earn a meager salary, or you will get stuck in feasting and feasting, relying on selling hues to make a living, until your youth is gone and you are aging; you will not be careful in the future. The responsible man gave birth to a child, and then let the child continue to repeat the tragedy of her own body, maybe even worse...

  The tragedies she has heard about the girls living at the bottom are countless, and she never feels that she is spared.

   Lin Xingjie confided the thoughts that had been tossing and turning for countless nights to her friends around her. She let go of all the sensitivity and self-esteem of adolescent girls, and revealed her heart without any concealment.

   "You think so much..."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little surprised. Although he occasionally fantasizes about his future, it is better to say that everyone will have the experience of doing so, but she tries to describe the outline of those future lives that are too realistic, and she is so pessimistic and so gloomy that she can't see any light. Since it is an illusion, shouldn't it be instinctively thinking in a better direction?

  He changed his mind and felt that he could understand. Unlike herself, Lin Xingjie's situation is not only difficult, but should be described as "perilous". She has been living in anxiety and tension, and she has only fear for the coming of tomorrow, but not the slightest vision.

"Because I have nothing to do, I can't go back to a home, so I doze off in a place where no one is there all day long, thinking about messy things...Sometimes, I really feel that the city I live in is simply destroyed. , Don’t everyone say that the end of the world is coming soon? I sincerely hope that there will be such a day so that I don’t have to worry about a future with no hope at all."

  Xu Xiangyang was silent.

  The future described in her mouth made him feel full of the bitterness of reality. It is as if without herself, without all these changes, this girl can only slide down the abyss and lead a hopeless life...

  But he felt that this was not the case.

   "I think you will never become like that."

  "Xu Xiangyang..."

  "You are not such a person. Even if there is only a chance, you would not give up, would you?"

   "...you seem to have more confidence in me than myself."

   "I don't know how you think of yourself, I'm just talking about the person'Lin Xingjie' should look like in my eyes. What's more, you still have Xiao An now."

"That's right." She nodded. "Actually, did I just say a bit too heavy? After all, I have this ability. Even the violent boyfriend of my mother is not difficult to deal with... But if I think about it, the situation might be worse? If I awakened my superpowers in that situation, I would definitely become crazy, and even kill people to vent my anger. In the end, if I was caught by the police, or—"

  Lin Xingjie seemed to think of something, and said solemnly:

   "As you said, I really joined some dark organization."

  The tears on Xu Xiangyang's face were not dry yet, but he couldn't help but laughed out loud.

   "That sounds really bad."

  Lin Xingjie laughed a few times with him, but still looked at him quietly. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, like a crescent moon.

   "Hey, don't you cry?" The girl scratched her cheek with her fingers, and deliberately said: "I'm obviously a boy, so ashamed."

   "I, I would cry, just like a novel that people would cry when they read a touching plot. Isn't this normal?"

Is that right? Lin Xingjie was a little surprised to even cry when he read a book.

   "Don't you feel ashamed?"

"What's shameful about this." Xu Xiangyang snorted. His guardian had never taught him such things as "a man has tears not to flick", "Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry. The really poor people are those who can't even do this kind of thing."

   "It makes sense." Lin Xingjie agreed, "However, there will still be occasions where you can't cry or laugh."

   "So, when you can do it, you have to do it as much as you want." Xu Xiangyang said firmly, "If you want to cry, you can cry loudly now. I will definitely not laugh at you."

   "I was really going to cry by myself," the girl wiped the corners of her red eyes with her pinky fingernails, chuckled and shook her head, "I was interrupted by you, but I couldn't cry."

  She pointed her finger at the TV.

   "It's better to watch together..."

   Before Lin Xingjie’s words fell, a scream came from the TV. The two people who hadn't watched the disc intently until just now did they subconsciously focus on it.

  It turned out that it was a scene where the residents hit a ghost in the building.

   Accompanied by the gloomy background music and the flickering light on the screen, the atmosphere is quite crippling. The room did not turn on the lights, and the two people in the chairs were surrounded by the gloomy night rushing into the window.

  As far as the eye can see, there is only a vague outline. The curtains swayed in the wind, as if someone was hiding behind them.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie looked at each other.

   "Wait, didn't you say it was a comedy?"

   "Uh... I remember that I played a movie by Stephen Chow..."

  At this time, a scene like this was played on the TV screen: a few people stepped carefully into the room where an old man’s funeral had just been held, and fumbled around in the dim living room.

  At this moment, the TV in the room suddenly lit up, and inside was the face of a gloomy old lady, the old man buried a few days ago! When everyone was startled, the TV actually started to move, like an old lady’s ghost attached to it, driving it to act——

   "Boom!"

  Almost at the same moment, the TV in reality shook violently along with it.

  The two were taken aback.

"Snapped."

  The image being played on the screen disappeared, replaced by a snowflake screen, and the sound of "stingling" electric current.

   "Wh, what's the situation?"

   Lin Xingjie's face turned pale, her voice trembling a little.

   "Uh, I don't know."

  Xu Xiangyang wiped his eyes, and randomly wiped his tear-stained face. He stood up and walked to the switch cord in the living room, intending to turn on the light.

   "Huh? Strange..."

  However, he tried several times, but the light did not turn on.

   "Is this a trip?"

   Lin Xingjie tried the bathroom and bedroom lights, but they couldn’t turn on either.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at each other with her.

  "Or, look at the situation outside?"

   Lin Xingjie suggested.

  Xu Xiangyang nodded and came to the door.

  He opened the chain and pushed open the door of the house. He had just taken two steps on the stairs, suddenly turned around and fled back, locked the door and hung the chain, and even took a chair from the side and pushed it behind the door.

   "You are..."

  Lin Xingjie was surprised, but before she could ask, she saw Xu Xiangyang put his finger on his mouth and "shush" at her with an extremely nervous expression.

  The girl saw sharply that his hands were shaking.

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to the next window and motioned for her to come over.

   Lin Xingjie swallowed. Knowing that something was wrong, she tiptoedly walked to the edge of the window, put her face on the glass in the direction Xu Xiangyang was pointing, and tried to look to the side——

  A tall and thin old man wearing a dark black tunic suit is standing at the entrance of the alley.

……Who is that?

  Before she could ask this question, it was just a blink of an eye, and the figure of the old man passed the distance of three or four houses in an instant, and still stood silently in the night.

  Behind him, the street lamps and even the light in the windows went out one by one, leaving only a large area of ​​invisible black.
