Invade the World

  Chapter 282 "Emotional Exchange" with Ex-Girlfriend

  Rapunzel’s eyes appeared sharp and cold, and the long dark hair behind her was swaying in the wind, making him feel a little cold.

  When they both went to school this morning, the girl always had this expression.

  In fact, the two hadn’t spoken all day. This state has lasted from last night until now. From cooking last night, falling asleep, waking up and going out, it has lasted for most of the day between classes.

  The old habits of sitting on the sofa watching discs and saying good night before going to bed are naturally impossible to maintain under this situation.

  Of course, Xu Xiangyang does not want this "cold war" state to continue, but on the other hand, he will feel this kind of alienation... it gives a temporary sense of peace of mind.

  Because he has not been able to completely adjust his mentality.

  There was no one on the playground, only the sound of a basketball falling on the ground. Lin Xingjie's aura became even more terrifying, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when the opponent summoned Xiao Anshi.

  ...If the terrible sight from another world appeared, it would be more like it, but she didn't do that.

  This shows that even if the opponent is regenerating, they still have a sense of measure.

  "……"

  Xu Xiangyang feels his mouth is dry. It must be more than because of the shining sun in the sky and the hot ground.

  He wanted to shout "All this is a misunderstanding!", but after thinking about it, he still couldn't say it.

  On the one hand, the actions of the actors in TV dramas become neurotic in reality, and on the other hand...

  In fact, it cannot be regarded as a misunderstanding.

  Although he and the squad leader did not hide from others' eyes and sneak in a quiet place, but the topics they talked about are indeed closely related to Xingjie himself, that is, how to get her to admit the relationship between the three.

  Qingyue even confessed how she took advantage of the love affair between the two friends, which would cause this situation today, which she expected completely, but she did it without hesitation.

  If the other party knows, he will feel angry 100%.

  The sun is too dazzling, Xu Xiangyang feels that if he doesn’t squint his eyes quickly, tears will shed immediately.

   Lin Xingjie stood in the wind, staring at him blankly for a while, then turned and left.

  ……

   Damn it!

  Xu Xiangyang clenched his fists.

  The point is that he just didn’t talk about it at all! Originally wanted to learn from the squad leader, and heard some useful suggestions from her!

   After complaining in his heart for a while, he let go of his palm sullenly.

  ...Think about it carefully, if Qingyue can really solve this dilemma smoothly, she will definitely bring it up from the beginning.

  No matter how you can guess people’s hearts, what you can’t do is can’t do it, and a squad leader and a little girl will not have the experience of teaching her boyfriend to pedal two boats.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at Lin Xingjie's away back, and subconsciously wanted to call her.

  But he suddenly discovered that Lin Xingjie left the playground directly and followed the path to the teaching building.

  ...... Is this going to skip class? If she simply doesn't want to talk to herself, it doesn't seem necessary to do so.

   After skipping the physical education class and returning to the class, Xu Xiangyang can't help feeling that this approach is very similar to his previous self, but it is different from the former Lin Xingjie. This girl has always liked sports.

  Suddenly, he felt a strange sense of familiarity in the scene before him. After thinking hard for a while, Xu Xiangyang finally recalled where this familiarity came from:

  Just after a certain flag-raising ceremony, he found that Xingjie was missing, and replaced by the back of the squad leader-she waved to herself, beckoning him to come.

  On the highest floor of the school, Xu Xiangyang first saw the two girls meet and talk in private.

  Recalling at this moment, it seems to be a long time in the past...

  Xu Xiangyang, who came to understand, was overjoyed for a while.

  This is what Bodhi Patriarch said to Sun Monkey, right? It depends on whether you have this insight to react in time.

  He hurriedly followed the back of the opponent who disappeared in the stairwell.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang walked to the highest floor of the laboratory building, which is as inaccessible as ever. Passing through the empty archive rooms, material rooms and classrooms, occasionally seeing the quietly arranged tables and chairs in the glass windows will make people unconsciously think of scenes in horror movies, as if all this is quiet in front of them. Things will be active at night.

  At the center of the top floor, Lin Xingjie stood silently on the center line separated by the dazzling light and pitch black shadows from the skylight.

  Just seeing her figure, Xu Xiangyang felt a terrible fall in his heart, which made it difficult for him to even have the courage to come forward and talk.

  But he will not hesitate for too long.

  The boy strode forward and almost tripped over her feet because of the same hands and feet.

  Xu Xiangyang tried to stretch his expression, stopped by the window, put his hands on the window sill, turned his head, raised his hand stiffly and said hello——

   "You, how are you."

  Almost bit her tongue.

   Lin Xingjie put her arms on her chest, frowned, her expression looked a bit contemptuous.

   "Want to strike up a conversation?"

"no!"

  Xu Xiangyang wanted to refute loudly, but he was guilty after just saying a word, and the whole person's momentum suddenly weakened.

   "...I am in your eyes now, maybe even a stranger can't match it."

  Lin Xingjie blinked, looked at her sad ex-boyfriend, and shook her head slightly with a deep smile:

   "How come, there is absolutely no such thing. Even if I hate you deep in my heart, it means that I care more about you than other people in the world. What's more..."

"Ok?"

  Xu Xiangyang raised his eyebrows. The attitude of the other party seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

   "——I think, I might forgive you after a while."

  Lin Xingjie sighed, walked to him and put her hand on the window sill, then her chin. She pressed her hand against her jaw and looked into the distance that was blocked by the building.

  "If you can learn to be a little shameless and say something to please me, maybe it will become faster."

  Like the sharp words of the squad leader, Xingjie also sees clearly and thoroughly the feelings between the two of them.

   "When you hear this kind of thing from your mouth, I really don't know how to say it..."

  Xu Xiangyang said, while sneaking a glance at the girl's profile, the wind pouring in from outside the window whipped her long hair, like a dream.

   "Of course I am very dissatisfied, very aggrieved, and very angry. But this is the fact, it is difficult to change, at least I can't change my nature temporarily."

   Lin Xingjie’s words paused for a moment, and then said:

   "Considering that I came back to your house unknowingly that day, so subconsciously I don't want to change it."

  The two leaning on the edge of the window were silent for a while. He heard her ask again:

   "Just now, what did you chat with Qingyue?"

   "Talked about something related to you."

  He didn't hide anything about it.

  Xu Xiangyang's attitude was very serious when he told the story, but Lin Xingjie couldn't help but laughed when he heard it halfway through.

   "You, what are you laughing at?"

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly became a little scared.

  He put himself into consideration for the other person, thinking that it is normal for Lin Xingjie to be angry or indifferent after hearing it, but why did he laugh?

  It shouldn’t be that she was under too much mental pressure for a while, and the result—

   "What are you doing, look at me like this."

  Xu Xiangyang's worried eyes obviously made her feel uncomfortable. The girl restrained her smile and turned her head away with a hum.

   "No, don't you feel uncomfortable after hearing it?"

   "Those words do you mean her?"

   Lin Xingjie propped her chin, and a bored face was reflected on the small window glass.

"She was right about me. What is so angry about me? As for her attempts and motives to expose herself... I already knew that Qingyue was that kind of person. Hey, I just don’t know people, it’s a pity. The mistakes made in the past are irreparable."

  Xu Xiangyang understood that her words were both self-deprecating and ridiculing both of them.

   "It's you, did you feel sad after listening to her?"

  Xingjie's peripheral light turned to him.

"Uh……?"

"You see, didn't she always talk about me. If it weren't for me, would she just change a man? Or she would just come to me from the beginning, and we will be together. Then it's nothing to do with you."

  "Do you doubt if she likes me?"

"What do you think?"

   "...I think I like it."

   "Why, people have better academic performance than you, and they look beautiful, so why do they like you?"

"Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help laughing.

   "I still remember you used to praise me as the most handsome man in the world."

  The cheeks of the girl reflected on the glass are slightly red.

   "Dating...can you be accurate when you are in a relationship? Also, my boyfriend will definitely be handsome, but you are not now."

  The atmosphere between the two fell silent again.

  "...There is no ‘if’ in this world."

  If Qingyue could extend a helping hand to Xingjie earlier than herself, maybe it would really be nothing to him.

  But she didn't.

  If he and Xingjie have always been strangers, ordinary neighbors who have never known each other, and if they fail to be together in the end, perhaps Qingyue will not join in.

  But their personality is destined to happen.

   "Perhaps, what she really likes is'Xu Xiangyang who likes Lin Xingjie', but it makes no difference to me."

   "But I already dumped you?"

   "I think it is impossible for Xu Xiangyang not to like Lin Xingjie, even now after the breakup."

   "You don't think I will be happy if you say this?"

   Lin Xingjie laughed at him again, but his tone was not too heavy. When the bell rang through the campus after class, she put down her hand on the window sill.

   "I just wanted to ask if you two will be together. It seems that you and Qingyue don't mean that."

"Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang scratched his face and replied a little embarrassed.

  "You know, her idea is to want the three of us to be together. So..."

   "So she won't sneak away? Wow, I'm so touched."

  The long-haired girl patted him on the chest, without saying anything, turning around and leaving.

  Xu Xiangyang was a little confused about her reaction. He stayed alone by the window for a long time. He was surprised when the bell rang again and rushed back to the classroom.
