Invade the World

  Chapter 460 Epilogue - In the winter of that year, there was snow in the classroom

   "The matter between you and Xu Xiangyang... has it been resolved?"

  Self-study at noon, the class teacher occupied the classroom at will as usual. After handing out the papers, I sat on the podium. As a result, the classroom was very quiet, except for the slight "rustling" sound of the pen tip rubbing against the draft paper. Lin Xingjie was concentrating on solving the problem, but the girl sitting in front turned her head and tapped on the desk quietly.

"Um?"

  Lin Xingjie raised his head in confusion and looked at the other party.

  She sits in the last row in the classroom, one seat for each person. After arranging the seats last time, the person closest to her happened to be Yang Wenjing, her best friend in the class except Xu Xiangyang.

  The girl with big braids was looking at her seriously.

   "Is the problem between you and Xu Xiangyang resolved now?" She repeated it word by word.

   "...do we have to talk about this now?"

  Lin Xingjie was a little helpless, and answered in a low voice.

   "The teacher is watching from above."

  Yang Wenjing shook her head.

"No. I really want to know, and I can't hold back my curiosity. You, Xu Xiangyang, and the class monitor of Class 5 have asked for several days off and haven't come to school, right? What's going on? Could it be that they eloped?" Is it? Recently, the urban area has not been peaceful, and the teachers have asked us to go home immediately after school. The specific situation is not clear, but everyone is spreading all kinds of messy news in private. Have you encountered anything? And... "

   "You wait and talk."

  Lin Xingjie raised his hand with some headaches, interrupting the other party's eloquence.

  When the two first became friends, she never realized that Yang Wenjing was the type who liked to listen to love gossip and talked so much.

I used to think that Yang Wenjing cared about her and Xiangyang's affairs, she just cared about her friends. It wasn't until Xingjie found out that the other party pestered her every day to listen to gossip and cared about the progress of the relationship between the two of them, that she realized that this girl had quite a **** in her personality. On the one hand...Obviously, Yang Wenjing's external image gives people the impression that she is a very calm type. You really can't tell what you look like.

   Sure enough, Lin Xingjie thought, only when people get along for a long time, will they gradually discover her true character, no matter it is good or bad.

   "Xiang Yang and I have indeed reconciled."

  Lin Xingjie coughed. First of all, this point must be clarified. There is no need to hide the matter now, and she will not let go.

   "Oh? What about the monitor of Class 5? Could it be that the three of you have-"

  Yang Wenjing's eyes sparkled, she looked excited, and her anticipation was beyond words that she hoped that her friend would make a big melon. She might have even made up a bunch of weird and exaggerated guesses on her own—

   "I don't know where you're thinking, but it must be wrong."

  Lin Xing was expressionless.

   "Really? Don't try to hide it from me, I saw the three of you walking out of the school side by side in harmony."

   "...I did go out with the two of them. Actually, it was nothing. I just followed the two of them to visit the teacher, and it happened to be on the way, so I went together."

   "Teacher?" Yang Wenjing thought for a while, "Oh, it's Mr. Yang, the head teacher before Class 5, right? I heard that he seems to be in a vegetable state—"

   Lin Xingjie did not lie.

  After the matter came to an end, Xu Xiangyang proposed to visit Teacher Yang in the hospital, and the two girls naturally would not object.

From spring to winter, so many things have happened in this year. When Lin Xingjie recalls the past, he often has a feeling of "as if he has passed away". It's like a distant dream.

  A magnificent adventure is bound to have ups and downs along the way. Although Lin Xingjie believes without hesitation that she is the happiest person now, sacrifices and sorrows are still inevitable along the way.

   She will never forget the people she knows and the things she has experienced, let alone forget.

  Ms. Yang was severely traumatized after being possessed by an evil spirit, and she still hasn’t woken up. After visiting him in the hospital that day, Qingyue helped arrange his follow-up treatment and hospitalization procedures, which was the only thing they could do at the moment.

   "Is that really the only way?"

  Yang Wenjing seems to be still skeptical.

   "Really, really." Lin Xingjie deliberately changed the subject while perfunctory, and cast his eyes on the open classroom windows, "...Speaking of which, it's really cold today."

   "Yeah, it's already December after all."

  The students in the class basically put on blue and white sportswear, which is the kind of loose school uniform that can be seen everywhere in middle and high schools in the north and south of the country.

However, even this kind of "simple"—or "a little ugly" school uniform, worn on Lin Xingjie's body, still gives people a delicate beauty like a lotus. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a Cut off the snow-white lotus root arm.

  At this time, a gust of cold wind "swished" into the classroom, and the students in a class who were writing and writing suddenly wailed, and it didn't stop until the head teacher patted the table on it.

   "Quick, go and close the window."

  The students near the corridor got up and closed the window. At this moment, he suddenly exclaimed:

   "It's snowing! There's snow drifting in!"

   There was a sudden commotion in the classroom.

Jinjiang City is a typical southeast coastal city. Although the lowest temperature in winter often hovers around zero, the residents living here may not be able to live well in the twelfth lunar month of winter: the house is always filled with a biting damp cold , there is no heating, and my feet are freezing cold every morning... Moreover, the days when I can see snow are still very rare, and often the snowflakes have already turned into water while they are floating in the air.

  However, this winter seems to be different. It snowed a year ago.

  Other students in the class also noticed the sudden snowfall, and they all walked out the door one by one, and the corridor suddenly became noisy.

  Because it was afternoon self-study, although the head teacher looked helpless, he didn't mean to stop everyone from going out to see the snow.

  Lin Xingjie followed the flow of people out of the classroom. She saw Xu Xiangyang standing in the crowd; looking at the end of the corridor, she could also see Zhu Qingyue, lying on the railing and yelling, like a little girl who had never seen the world.

   She thought it was a little funny.

  The long-haired girl stretched her hands out of the railing, feeling the fine snow falling from the sky on her hands like feathers. An almost imperceptible weight, melted into a cold and moist feeling, soaked into the palm.

   "It's really snow..."

  Lin Xingjie muttered to himself.

   "It's snowing. Do you want to find a place to have a snowball fight when you go back?"

   A familiar and warm voice came from my ear.

   "Whether it can be accumulated is still a question."

   She replied, turning her head to see her boyfriend standing beside her.

   "... Xingjie, don't you feel cold?"

  Lin Xingjie subconsciously shook her head.

  But she quickly changed her mind, stretched out her hands coquettishly, and put them in his pockets.

   "I'll help you warm up."

  Xu Xiangyang smiled slightly, and held her catkin. The fingers of the two intertwined, touching the girl's skin was cold and smooth, like fine jade.

  As for Lin Xingjie, he only felt that the boy's palm was so big, and the hot temperature in the palm seemed to be able to spread throughout the body through the flowing blood.

"Actually, it's okay to have cold hands," the girl naturally leaned on her shoulders, mumbling and complaining about the trivial things in life, "The main reason is that the feet are cold. Even though there was an extra quilt last night, and there was a hot water bottle next to the feet, it was still cold when I woke up in the morning." It's too cold."

  Xu Xiangyang blinked and joked:

   "If you don't mind, go to the classroom and take off your shoes later, and I can also warm it up for you...Here, like this, I hold it with both hands, and it will heat up soon."

   "Pervert, you."

  Rapunzel's face flushed red again.

  However, she didn't have much reaction to the matter itself.

Although it is not possible to do this kind of thing in the classroom and in full view of everyone, when she and Xu Xiangyang sit on the sofa watching TV and reading books after school at night, they always share a thick blanket and pass the each other's temperature.

Xu Xiangyang's home is in an alley, which can be described as "cold in winter and hot in summer". Only by relying on this method can the heating efficiency be the highest: either she leans on his chest, or he lies on her lap; The "game" of touching feet and intertwining limbs has long been used to nature.

   At this time, the get out of class bell rang.

   "Go down for a stroll?"

  Xu Xiangyang issued an invitation.

"Um."

  Lin Xingjie nodded slightly.

  The two held hands and walked down the stairs.

   Under the teaching building, there is a courtyard planted with trees and potted plants, as well as fountains and statues, just after entering the school gate.

  Now the place is full of people, all of whom come to enjoy the snow. Students from all grades walked together in twos and threes, or squatted by the pool to fish for ice, and played with frothed branches.

  The ground was wet, and the tops of the nearby emerald green pine trees were painted with a faint white outline, which was not obvious, but it was indeed the trace left by the snow.

  Xu Xiangyang was chatting and laughing with Lin Xingjie, holding hands and walking along the edge of the pool. He suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and subconsciously shrank his neck, while the long-haired girl next to him let out an exclamation.

  Someone poured snow into their back collars, what a childish prank.

   Know who did it without even thinking about it.

  He turned his head and found that the squad leader was looking at them with his hands on his hips, triumphantly.

   "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I am justifiably retaliating! You actually left me alone, and the two of them are flirting with each other over there. I am now burning with jealousy."

   "Is it because you are too small-minded?" Lin Xingjie said seriously, "I originally planned to ask you to take a walk together, but you were not in Class 5 just now, so I couldn't find anyone."

"…real?"

  Zhu Qingyue had a suspicious expression.

"real."

   "That's really... sorry, ahaha."

   "Apologize?" Lin Xingjie snorted coldly, "If you apologize, you have to show sincerity."

   "Hey, that..."

   "Come here." Lin Xingjie ordered unceremoniously, "I'm tired of holding hands, give me a massage."

   "What's the point of being tired...Okay, okay."

  Although Zhu Qingyue complained, she still approached obediently.

at this time-

  A white snowflake blooms on her face. Caught off guard, the squad leader almost fell on his back.

  Lin Xingjie laughed out loud.

   "Ah, using superpowers is cheating!"

  Zhu Qingyue shouted unconvinced.

   "I didn't even see the movement of your hands, you must have used your abilities secretly!"

   "So what!" Lin Xingjie didn't care, "This belongs to me...Ah!"

  Amid Rapunzel's small exclamation, a whirlwind blew up near the courtyard, and the snow accumulated on the eaves, the ground, and the potted plants all gathered together, and the snow **** hit her like a machine gun.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the two people who suddenly became fussy, speechless.

   No, it doesn’t matter if you two want to use super powers to play snowball fights, but there are other students here, and me?

  What if it is discovered, don’t you plan to keep it secret—

  …Oh, yes.

   Times have changed.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly understood, and at the same time, a trance came to his mind.

   Indeed, they no longer need to keep secrets. After all, in a few years, maybe the two of them will be in the public eye and attract the attention of the whole country and even the whole world.

   Even now, Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue, as well as herself, are no longer high school students in the usual sense. Thinking about it this way, he looked at the scenery for two and a half years wherever he looked, and the vigorous faces and the campus environment that he was so familiar with made him have a feeling that "this place is actually different from myself. "out of place" feeling...

  …So, have they made up their minds yet?

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head, looking at the center of the empty sky, dotted with white snow like dust, dotted the gloomy sky.

  He was silent for a moment, as if all the sounds around him were far away—

   Until the two elbows have different softness and temperature.

  Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue were alone, holding his hand.

   "Don't care too much about those future things, the important thing is that we are still here now."

  As if seeing through her thoughts, Rapunzel said softly.

"Even if we are no longer 'us', everyone like us will leave school sooner or later, go to other cities, or enter the society." The short-haired girl said with a smile, "Whether there are superpowers in this world or not, Three years of high school is a fleeting time for everyone. That’s why it’s so precious.”

  The lost time cannot come back; but even if it is a forgotten memory, it is still possible to pick it up again.

   "Besides, we are still one semester away from the college entrance examination and graduation. If you want to feel sad about your youth, you should wait until then. I will cry with you."

   "...I don't cry. Do you think I'm the type to cry at graduation?"

   "Hmm... Kind of like that?"

   "Then you really underestimate me... Look at the trick!" "Yeah!"

   Soon, Xu Xiangyang put aside his sentimental thoughts. He concentrated on collecting a little bit of thin snow on the side of the road to make snow balls, and smashed them on the girls' hair with a smirk.

  …

  That winter, there was snow in the classroom.

The snow in the south of the Yangtze River, which is rare in ten years, covers the campus of No. 15 Middle School in Jinjiang City. , quietly poked out half of his face.

   In order to avoid misunderstanding, let me say something in advance. After the end, there will be a second volume that will be discussed later, and I will explain everything that needs to be explained. don't worry.
