Invade the World

  Chapter 257 Humble Likes

  Xu Xiangyang stood stiffly on the spot, sweating constantly on his back, wet his shirt thoroughly, and glued it to his body.

The surprise attack of the squad leader surpassed his expectations, so he was shocked for a while.

  ... But, is he really unaware of it?

  Xu Xiangyang secretly glanced at the calm side of the girl's cheek, and was surprised to find that his mood was not so surprised, but there were more embarrassing elements of "being caught upright".

The    grade group leader was obviously also a little frightened. The slightly fattened middle-aged man stared at Zhu Qingyue with wide eyes, and then said for a while.

   "You two came to school just for this?"

  He touched the “Mediterranean” part of the top of his head with sparse hair, which became more obvious under the sunlight coming in from outside the window.

"Teacher, this is a whim of ours." Zhu Qingyue replied, "Because when we are in class, we can't be discovered by others in school that we are in love, so we are on vacation, but I would like to try dating in a familiar place. ."

  Wow, this is so arrogant, so courageous! Xu Xiangyang didn't speak, only all kinds of thoughts floated up and down crazily in his heart.

  In the face of Zhu Qingyue, who had an upright attitude, the grade leader didn't know what to say for a while.

  However, he did not immediately accuse the two of them of having a premature love, but first stared at the short-haired girl's eyes with serious eyes, and then looked at Xu Xiangyang's face.

  During this process, the grade leader’s sight stayed on the boys for much longer than Zhu Qingyue, and Xu Xiangyang was uncomfortable being seen.

   "You are not kids anymore, you don't need to be reminded by adults for everything, and the teacher can't control you."

The   grade leader did not have the anger he imagined, but said to them in a serious and earnest tone.

   "It will be the third year of high school soon, no matter what, remember that your most important task is to study hard."

  "Okay~Thank you teacher~"

   "Well, I know."

  ...

  The encounter with the teacher was just an accident. They left the office building where the archives were located and walked down the stairs of the empty teaching building.

  He originally wanted to go to the classroom to wander around, but if he thinks about it, forget it. After all, he didn’t really forget to bring his things.

  There is still a whole year to stay there, and now it’s not the time to miss it.

   "Ah, I forgot all about it."

   Halfway down the stairs, the squad leader clapped his hands, as if suddenly thinking of something.

   "I knew that I should have asked him about Chen Hongying just now. It was only a few years ago, and it was a bad student who had memorized the punishment. If the grade leader had taught Chen Hongying before, he would definitely have an impression."

  "You suddenly asked about his former students, it would seem weird? The teacher might doubt our motives..."

  The words paused for a moment, Xu Xiangyang still couldn't help asking.

   "Also, why did you say that just now?"

"Ok?"

  Zhu Qingyue tilted his head a little, as if it took a bit of thinking to understand what he meant.

   "Oh, you said that, it's just a joke, can't you tell me?"

  Your tone at the time was not like a joke.

   "I think teacher, he must be serious..."

"Don't mind." The squad leader replied, "I've said that in front of him before. I believe he is a little bit mentally prepared for'I will find someone to fall in love early.' Don't worry about him. I was so angry that I suddenly had high blood pressure."

  Xu Xiangyang remembered the "I can't guarantee" statement he heard in the office.

"Besides, you don't think he was too angry, and he didn't criticize both of us, did he? For schools, as long as the incident is not exposed to the society, what they value most is the student's grades. The reason for prohibiting puppy love, I am also afraid that bad atmosphere will affect everyone."

  “On the other hand, students like us, as long as they can maintain their grades, they don’t really care about the relationship between men and women. Of course...”

Zhu Qingyue added teasingly.

   "Remember not to kill anyone."

  Xu Xiangyang did not smile.

   "So, you know he will take it seriously. That's not a joke."

   "It's a joke, but it has nothing to do with the teacher. I drove it with you."

  Senior squad leader blinked.

  "Have you not noticed that I am angry this time? It's mainly because you provoke me."

   "...found it." Xu Xiangyang answered honestly, "It was fine when I was three people, and when I stayed with me, it was a little cold."

  "It's not indifference, but a'normal' way of getting along with the opposite **** with a lover." Zhu Qingyue pointed out sharply, "You are just getting used to my previous'abnormal' approach."

  Xu Xiangyang was speechless.

   "Because I am angry, so I have to give you a little punishment."

  The squad leader turned his head again.

   "I never care what other people think, so I want to embarrass you."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

   "But I don't care anymore now. After all, I..."

  Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed.

Yes indeed! If before today's encounter, the squad leader was a suspicious puppies in the eyes of the teachers, then his puppies love is even more certain!

  Qingyue is right. Even a "bad boy" who is a puppy loves, as long as he has grades as support, he can still stand up straight on campus.

  So, under the premise that his girlfriend's grades have greatly improved and his grades can be maintained steadily, he has no concealment about his close relationship with Xingjie—whether it is to the classmates or the teacher.

  Even before the holiday, the head teacher had witnessed the scene of him and Xingjie hugging each other intimately and warmly.

  But here is the problem! If the teachers who stayed in an office knew that he already had a girlfriend, Xingjie, but they were bumped into by the grade group leader during the summer vacation with the class leader out for a date... This is no ordinary "puppy love" problem!

  Thinking of the strange and meaningful eyes of the middle-aged man just now, Xu Xiangyang only felt that his scalp was numb. He quickly said the matter.

  In this regard, Zhu Qingyue’s response is very simple—

"hehe."

  She asked indifferently.

   "Why tell me this? Do you think I will sympathize with you?"

  *

  After the two walked out of the school gate, they stopped at the same time.

  If we make the difference and go back to each house, the two will go in opposite directions, so we should say goodbye here; but if there is a follow-up, it will naturally be another matter.

  Previously, he will probably be dragged around by the enthusiastic squad leader...

  But at this moment, Zhu Qingyue didn't even say a word. She stood quietly in the shade of the tree, watching Xu Xiangyang silently, as if waiting for him to open an invitation first.

   "For a while, are you hiding from me?"

  It’s just that the duration of this silence is shorter than imagined.

  Xu Xiangyang froze for a moment, first nodded in acknowledgment, and then shook his head.

  "Since the library, there have indeed been a few days...it was my fault, and it won’t be anymore."

"Oh."

   Zhu Qingyue next to her responded, looking expressionless.

Xu Xiangyang stayed with her in the shade of the trees for a while—nothing was done, no conversation or dialogue, just standing quietly in the shade of the green, listening to the wind, while thinking freely, looking at the street People come and go until noon is near.

  The angle of sunlight has changed. The girl walked out from under the shade of the tree with her hands on her back, and came to him. Sunlight came from behind her, so that Xu Xiangyang couldn't see her face for a while.

   "Then have you got the answer? Or do you want to continue to reject me?"

  Xu Xiangyang's heart sank, and he opened his mouth to answer, but he heard her uncontrollable laughter.

   "Forget it, no need to answer. Looking at your expression, I can guess the answer."

   "Uh...is this one time?"

   Xu Xiangyang asked carefully.

"What do you think?"

  Zhu Qingyue asked with a smile. Her expression looked gloomy just now, but now she felt relieved after seeing the boy's dilemma.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Don't worry, Xu Xiangyang said that I will give you three opportunities, but with my feelings for you and Xingjie, it is impossible to give up and let go so easily. "

  She sighed softly.

"I believe that after'three times', there will definitely be the next time, the next next, the next next time. I actually had this hunch, that is, I might be sticky and entangled with you two for a long time. Who called me this person? So awkward, and very high-sighted, so far only you two friends, no one else looks down on it."

"However, I still hope you understand that every time I ask this question, I am very serious, and every time I speak to you with hope. I don't know how long I can maintain this enthusiasm, maybe several years, More than ten years... But in conclusion, I never believe that there are everlasting feelings in this world."

  Zhu Qingyue stretched out a Qianqian jade finger and gently placed it on the boy’s lips, once again preventing him from talking.

"I’m not blaming you. I’m in love with someone who has a partner. From the perspective of others, the abnormal person is me. What I’m doing is persecuting you and trying to hurt Xingjie’s bad things. , I know this very well, and even when I get up every morning to look in the mirror and look at myself, I feel "what a nasty woman this is", so..."

  She moved her finger away from his mouth, slowly lowered her arm, her lips pressed tightly.

  "—That’s why I like it so humble."

  ...

  "Goodbye, today will not delay your date with Xingjie."

   "Well, see you tomorrow."

   "See you tomorrow."

"goodbye!"

   "Goodbye, it's okay, don't send me away."

   "Okay, goodbye. Be careful on the road."

   "I know, goodbye."

  For some reason, this farewell is far more slimy than any previous one. Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue said "goodbye" to each other several times. Only then did the squad leader leave at a light pace and never look back.

  He didn't let down his hand until he watched her disappear to the end of the intersection.

  *

  This afternoon, Xu Xiangyang was dragged out of the house by Lin Xingjie as soon as he finished eating.

   "Just take a walk after a meal!"

  Rapunzel took the initiative to hold his hand, and the two left side by side from the alley.

The hands held together shook lightly back and forth in the air, until the palms of each other were sweaty, and they became tired and unwilling to let go for a while; anyone would understand at a glance that this is an enviable pair of students Lovers.

   Seeing this pair of teenagers and girls in love, and seeing their so young faces that are so young, occasionally curious glances are cast at the two of them.

  But neither Xu Xiangyang nor Lin Xingjie will feel shy or shaky, because they have long been used to it.

  They are not secretly dating, even the parents and teachers do not intend to oppose or separate them. What does other people’s views have to do with them? No matter who they meet, they can face it upright.

  "Where shall we go first?"

  "Go to the home of Chen Hongying's senior sister first."

  Xu Xiangyang took a note from his pocket and handed it to the girl next to him. It said the address he got from the archives room this morning.

"Go and ask the situation. If the person is the best, you can directly eliminate the suspicion. If not, just ask the neighbors in the neighborhood. Then check the place near the tube building. After all, Chen Hongying stayed on that rooftop. For a while, maybe there are other residents in the building who know her existence."

"good."

   Lin Xingjie answered simply and neatly.

  Walking, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but look at her profile, looking carefully.

   is still a pure and lovely face, and I will never get bored after seeing you again; coupled with the obvious lightheartedness hidden in the expression, the charming smile on the corners of her mouth adds a bit of naive attitude to her.

  I really don’t want to see a sad look on this face one day.

  In the dimly lit room, only the TV screen is still emitting a faint light, illuminating a pale face that is weeping—such memories make it stay in the past and never come back.

  Being with me, meeting with me, and being a lover with me are the luckiest and happiest things in life—Xu Xiangyang hopes that she can think so, even if this idea is just out of his own selfishness and self-sufficiency.

  Xu Xiangyang was staring at the girl's face intently, slowing down unknowingly. Afterwards, he heard Lin Xingjie's clear voice coming into his ears.

"What are you thinking?"

  He came back to his senses and saw his girlfriend stopped and was looking at himself with a smile, but he still refused to let go.

  "In the morning without me staring at the side, did you two make any other little moves? You are really worried. Is it because other beautiful girls look at you and you will immediately get the bait?"

   Lin Xingjie gently pinched her boyfriend with the nail of her pinky finger to show punishment.

  "—Well, it’s not easy to be your girlfriend, right?"

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the girl who sighed while shaking his head, pretending to be emotional. He knew that she was joking with him, but his chest was still tightly stuffed.
