Invade the World

  Chapter 300 Quiet Autumn Night

  Xu Xiangyang froze for a moment, with a wry smile on his face.

  Sure enough, this kind of thing can't be hidden from the other party...

  Because none of the three specifically publicized the breakup, and Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie still maintained the living conditions of "living under the same roof" and usually went to school together after school, so no one in the grade was aware of this fact.

  As for after breaking up, they have always kept a distance. When talking, the expressions of the two are often cold and stiff, and they are no longer as enthusiastic as they used to be. The average person's observation ability can not be so detailed.

  But Yang Wenjing is different. After all, she is Xingjie’s first friend in the class, and since some time ago, she has been questioning the reliability of their relationship...

  If she noticed something and asked, Xingjie would most likely not keep it from her.

"right."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded refreshingly.

  This kind of question has no meaning to hide.

   "It really is."

   After Yang Wenjing snorted softly, her attitude seemed to become even colder.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that the conclusions he reached after observation were quite reliable. This girl used to have a feeling of "seeing her unhappy", but after hearing that the relationship between the two had broken, she didn't even mean to hide it.

   "Let’s go out and talk."

   Taking advantage of the break time at the end of the noon self-study, Yang Wenjing and him walked through the corridors with people coming and going, standing in the corner of a secluded staircase.

  Even if someone passes by, they can’t hear the voice, so they can talk unscrupulously.

  Yang Wenjing put on the "hands around the chest" posture sitting at the desk just now, and whispered.

   "I guess it's because of the squad leader of Class 5, right?"

"……Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang answered honestly.

   "However, my responsibility is still greater."

   "Tell me this useful?"

  Yang Wenjing glared at him.

   "I will not sympathize with you, I will only feel that you deserve it. Good girls like Xingjie don't cherish it, and you will regret some in the future."

   "Yes, you are right." Xu Xiangyang nodded, "I already regret it."

"real?"

   "Do you think I am talking casually?"

  The corners of the opponent's eyes and eyebrows were hung together, his expression was quite suspicious.

   "I don't think you seem to be joking, but it doesn't seem to be serious repentance. It feels more like...a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water."

  Student Yang seemed to think that this sentence was an insult, and the tone was a bit heavy, so he quickly added.

   "Of course, if I make a mistake, I apologize to you."

  No, you are right.

  In order to avoid the ex-girlfriend who was filled with righteous indignation in broad daylight, he gave a painful beating, he did not say this sentence.

  This is how things are in the world. Regret and sadness are two different things from whether you want to change.

  Xu Xiangyang's heart is determined.

   "However, since you two have broken up, what does her birthday have to do with you?"

  Yang Wenjing pointed out the second problem.

  She has a lot of questions, and all of them are sharp, making him very nervous.

   "Does Xingjie know that you are advocating to organize a birthday party for her?"

   "I plan to surprise her."

   "Hey, do you want to restore her mind in this way?"

  Yang Wenjing took out the invitation letter, read it over and over again, lowered his head and continued to ask:

  "Anyone else wants to participate?"

  Xu Xiangyang quickly reported the names of all the invited teachers and classmates. They basically agreed.

   "Hey, even the class teacher called, it's amazing."

   "Huh? Where?"

  Xu Xiangyang is a little confused. Is there anything to admire in these words?

"nothing."

  The girl with croissant braids shook her head, with a little emotion in her tone.

  "I just think that only a good student like you dare to invite the class teacher. If it is an ordinary student like me, it will be too late to hide after seeing it."

  Yang Wenjing's current ranking in the grade is almost the same as that of Xingjie, and she belongs to the middle level. The two started with communication and learning problems at the beginning, and the relationship gradually improved.

  "...Forget it. Anyway, the birthday party is to be held, and everyone does the same. Has the location been decided? Do you want me to help?"

  Yang Wenjing asked again.

   "Someone is helping. We are basically ready to go up to now, including the venue and the specific process of the birthday party, and it is written on the invitation."

"who is it?"

   "Zhu Qingyue."

  "……"

  Yang Wenjing did not answer for a while, but after a brief surprise, staring at him with a foolish expression, frowning her brows.

   "You asked her to help Xingjie celebrate her birthday? What do you think?"

  "...Uh, the situation is more complicated."

   Just like the squad leader said, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the relationship between the two of them, and it is really impossible to accurately summarize them in one or two words.

  If others can only see one of the sides, they may come to the opposite conclusion.

  "I am getting more and more confused."

  Yang Wenjing muttered.

   "Your grades are so good, you don't seem to be a fool, and that Zhu Qingyue is also...Is it because I don't know you, or is there a problem with my brain when I study well?"

  Xu Xiangyang was speechless.

  Yang made a long sigh of relief after complaining unceremoniously.

   Aiming at Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, her attitude seemed acrimonious; but when talking about her friends, the attitude of the girl with croissants suddenly softened.

  "However, since it is Xingjie’s birthday party, I will definitely go there. As long as the Lord refuses to come at the time. To be honest, I still want to see how you two make a fool of yourself in front of everyone."

When Xu Xiangyang was about to leave, the other party suddenly stopped him from behind.

  The girl's expression was filled with hesitation.

   "I want to take the liberty to ask, the relationship between the two of you is in the end before you break up..."

   Just halfway through the words, she closed her mouth again.

   "No, no, no, if I didn't ask."

   "You think you are taking the liberty to ask," Xu Xiangyang laughed, "Hesitating, it doesn't seem to be like you, classmate Yang Wenjing."

   Hearing what he said, two blushes floated directly on the other's face, and his tone became vicious.

  "I, I just think that you two go to school and school together. This was the case before, but it will continue to be the case after breaking up. So I am curious, is it because you two live close together?"

   "We are in the same alley. Don't you know?"

   "...I know. Xingjie told me."

  The other party said.

   "And on the weekend, I secretly went to Xingjie's house."

"Ok?"

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback. This was beyond his expectation.

   "Because I want to see her..."

  Yang Wenjing was a little embarrassed.

  "But the aunt who opened the door said that Xingjie generally doesn't live in that home now. Do you know where she lives?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment, and realized that the other person would ask like this, which meant that he had guessed the answer vaguely, and it seemed that there was no point in concealing it.

  If Yang Wenjing asked Xingjie, would she speak?

  He has no time to think about the answer to this question, he can only follow his own ideas.

  Faced with Yang Wenjing's questioning gaze, Xu Xiangyang looked around and made sure that no one else was nearby, and then cautiously told the truth.

   "——Cohabiting with...?!"

  Yang Wenjing's lips were slightly opened, and her expression was incredible.

   "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, hush down."

   Xu Xiangyang panicked and quickly reminded.

   "Teachers and classmates don't know about this, so please don't tell me, it's not good for Xingjie."

Talking about puppy love and cohabiting in high school are completely two kinds of nature. Teachers can turn a blind eye to their relationship without affecting their studies, but if they hear that they live under the same roof, Maybe you have to take the initiative to visit your home.

   "Have you two reached this point? Wouldn't the parents object to it?"

   "Both sides agreed."

   "...ooh."

  Yang Wenjing's shoulders drooped. She stared at herself with an angry gaze-even though the girl had always looked at him with this look, at this moment, the other person's originally bright pupils were slightly dim, and she looked tired and helpless.

   "Obviously this is the point...Have you not considered your future? So young you are sure to be able to be together, you must have considered the future education, and marriage and children."

   "I thought about it."

   "Then you still—"

  Yang Wenjing wanted to say something but stopped, still the expression of swallowing back halfway through the words.

   "Forget it, I feel tired from seeing you always have this attitude. So let's do it, I hope you can do it well for the birthday party, and don't let people down anymore."

  She waved her hand, turned and left.

  In fact, the two of us are still...

  Xu Xiangyang looked at Classmate Yang’s back, and slowly chewed the swallowed sentence in his mouth.

  *

   Then, time flies by unconsciously again.

  On the night before Lin Xingjie’s birthday, Xu Xiangyang, who returned home from school, made the last call with the class leader to determine the itinerary during the birthday.

  Tomorrow is the weekend, just to have a fun evening.

  Xu Xiangyang put down the microphone and stretched his waist, but his eyes remained on the closed door.

  It was okay when Sister Lian was there. If she was not there, Xingjie would shut herself in like this, and would not want to meet him.

  He sighed and prepared to leave next to the cabinet.

  But at this moment, a bell rang again behind Xu Xiangyang.

  After he answered the phone, he found that the opposite person was an unexpected person.

  "Hello, student Xu Xiangyang."

   "Uh, Uncle Meng?" He asked hesitantly, "Is there anything going on calling here so late?"

  There is no time to do anything else in the past two days, so let’s get a vaccination first.

   "We have to prepare for the exam in these two days, not very free..."

"Hahaha!"

  The other party laughed.

"Why, do you think I want to commission work? Don't worry, you said that you value your studies, I know it in my heart. No matter how strong your ability, you are all minors, and you won’t have any tasks before graduation. ."

   "I called here this time, I just hope you can bring me a message to Lin Xingjie, just say congratulations to her, and say a happy birthday in advance."

"……how do you know?"

   "It is written on the files sent here."

  The other person’s response was natural, but Xu Xiangyang couldn’t think of it that simple.

  It's not that every civil volunteer will have a host to call and greet him on his birthday, right? This is not a benefit.

  If you weren't paying attention to them, you wouldn't have thought of sending birthday wishes... Or, Xu Xiangyang simply couldn't understand the other party's motivation for making this call.

"I will."

  Xu Xiangyang didn't ask anything, but responded briefly.

   "Okay, then don't disturb you young people. Enjoy it, this is the last leisurely time in your life, and the thing of youth is gone forever."

  The man opposite the microphone paused for a while, and his voice suddenly became low.

   "There is another thing. Xu Xiangyang, do you remember what I said to you that day?"

  He held the microphone tightly.

  No lights in the room. The teenager was standing in the narrow living room of his home, looking at the tables, chairs, and the photos hanging on the wall that were submerged by the night, and suddenly felt that wherever he could be, he was familiar with the environment that should have been commonplace. When he couldn't see their specific outline. It will be a little unfamiliar.

  I really don’t know how the squad leader got used to this kind of life.

  The surroundings are as quiet as solemn.

  So that the man's voice coming from his ears became clearer, with a strange heaviness.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that his heartbeat was accelerating, he held his forehead and asked in a low voice:

   "That day...Is it the day of the cafe?"

  There are absurd topics about the end of the world, and no one will easily believe it.

  But it may be caused by some psychological factors. Now he has no way to stand firmly and use common sense to refute the fallacy in the opponent's mouth.

  For some reason, Xu Xiangyang always thinks of the out-of-control psychic and Xingjie’s crying face when he broke up.

   "Yes. Do you believe what I said now?"

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer immediately.

  During this period of silence, he took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

  ——Then Xu Xiangyang discovered that there was actually a weak light source in the room.

  He raised his eyes and found that dim stars dripped into the window sill from the night, illuminating the small leaves in the potted plants, and even the tiny fluff covering them were clearly visible, very cute.

  He relaxed leaning against the wall behind him.

There is no sound around   .

  Put up your ears and listen carefully. From the other side of the door of the nearby room, you can hear the slight snoring sound of a girl lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

  The door of the unlocked room was blown open a gap, and the sound of insects in autumn flowed in the corners of the houses along with the breeze.

  When the nearby residents have fallen asleep and rested, the night in the alleys always feels completely silent; but as long as you are willing to listen and see, you can find vitality at any time.

  A world surrounded by loved ones, real and vivid, and never far away from him.

  Xu Xiangyang's heart suddenly relaxed again. The inexplicable anxiety just now came and went quickly.

   "It seems that you are not as sure as before?"

  Hearing the man's ridicule, Xu Xiangyang's mouth twitched. Although the other party could not see, he shook his head into the microphone.

   "No, sorry, I still don't believe it at all."
