Invade the World

  Chapter 462 Epilogue 3 His and her first time

  Xu Xiangyang took his lover's hand and walked on the bustling street full of people.

This year is Lunar New Year's Day, before spring comes, the streets shrouded in pines and cypresses are still chilly, the doors of shops on both sides of the street are steaming open, people who have returned to their hometowns to visit relatives are back now, and residents who are resting at home are taking to the streets , the city has returned to its former bustling atmosphere.

   They started from home, left the alley, walked all the way to the school, the commercial street, and went to No. 41 Anning Street—the haunted house that once stood on the corner of the street, where their story began.

  Young people stood hand in hand in front of the closed door, looking at each other and smiling.

  Their fate began to change from here. For Xu Xiangyang, the stable and boring life was broken; for Lin Xingjie, it was a turning point in a gloomy life.

  The most important thing is that he and she have an opportunity to get to know each other; only they who live in the present can understand how important this is to each other.

  …

  The two left from the haunted house and walked down the main road slowly. Ever since Xu Xiangyang heard the news that the old city might be demolished on a large scale, he wanted to take a good look at the scenery of the nearby blocks and keep it in mind.

  Intricate alleys, if you don’t pay attention, you will get dizzy;

  The road under your feet is always wet, moss grows on the walls on both sides, and the sky above your head is divided into long and narrow blue strips by the eaves;

   Chlorophytum potted plants, drying racks, telephone poles, wild cats and domestic dogs, running children...

  Walking through the nameless paths with my dear ones, Xu Xiangyang has never felt so clearly:

  Jinjiang City is the city where I live.

   What makes it special is not what you see with your eyes, but the tide in your heart. "Here" is better than "there" because he met good people and good things "here".

This mysterious feeling is difficult to describe and convey in words: when people walk on the streets of their hometown, or encounter a place similar to the scenery of their hometown, even if it is the shadow of an arcade shrouded in light at a certain moment From any angle, people can find a sincere sense of belonging.

"boom!"

  The fireworks in the sky are in full bloom again.

  Although it is not as dense as the night when the New Year comes, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, from day to night, you can always hear the sound of firecrackers, see fireworks in winter, and smoke that is no different from the haze.

  As if reminded by the sound of fireworks, Xu Xiangyang raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and said:

   "The appointed time has come."

  When he said these words, he could clearly feel the soft little hand he was holding suddenly tightened and exerted force.

"…Um."

  The long-haired girl lowered her head, allowing her hair to cover the expression on her face, only a slight nod of her head could be seen.

   "I know. We have an appointment, it is an afternoon to evening time."

"That…"

  Xu Xiangyang coughed. Although he was trying his best to pretend to be calm, his voice was still trembling uncontrollably, and even the posture of holding the girl's hand was a little stiff.

"where are we going?"

  He asked for advice sincerely.

  This is the first very serious topic before them:

  —"Where are we going to sleep for the first time...?"

  Actually, for young couples in general, this question is not difficult to answer. It is often at home, and it must have been prepared early.

Who made their family situation a bit complicated, because the two young people started living together under one roof early, and they are not people who have high requirements for the quality of life, so they usually don't notice this kind of thing, So much so that I didn't realize until I thought about it——

  What Li Qinglian said is absolutely right, their house seems to be a bit small indeed.

   "Besides, I always feel that when we went out together this morning, my sister smiled strangely. She must already know what we are going to do. If I go back, I might be kicked out."

   "That's to say, yesterday Qingyue made a special call to ask." Lin Xingjie muttered, "How does it feel, it seems that everyone cares more about this matter than the two of us."

That being said, neither she nor Xu Xiangyang can lie to herself that she never expected this day to come. It's just...the two of them are a little too nervous. From the perspective of passers-by, although the couple is still The appearance of holding hands is not as relaxed as before, and even the walking posture has become the same hands and feet.

   "We can't do it at home, we can't go to Qingyue's house."

  Although the squad leader himself certainly wouldn’t care, maybe he would happily say some strange things like “add me” or “can you keep me in the room to watch?”

   "So, as expected, you still need to go to the hotel?"

   "...Well, I know. We discussed this matter before."

  Lin Xingjie agreed. As she said, the two have actually discussed it more than once.

  However, the problem didn't end here. He had the money to open a house, but he couldn't go to a very good place.

  Money is not a problem, anyway, it’s only for one night; it’s just a slightly high-end regular store, you may need to check your ID card. In a place with relatively strict management, both of them have tender faces, and there is a high probability that they will be found out right away.

   "If... if you take advantage of some 'privileges', maybe... no, it will definitely solve this problem very easily."

  But... Do you really want to ask others for this kind of thing?

  Lin Xingjie's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she didn't object. She agreed with a trembling voice:

   "I... I know. I just said it has a purpose, and I will never let them know the specific content!"

  Xu Xiangyang's face was also very red.

   "When, of course..."

  *

   Then, the people on the other end of the phone showed amazing work efficiency. When they arrived at the target location, they heard that the preparations were over.

   This place is still very familiar to them: a tall building with more than 30 floors stands in the center of the city.

   "Central Garden", the best hotel in Jinjiang City. When the two of them fled together with Zhu Qingyue, they were entertained by the dragon mother and settled in this place.

   They once again came to the presidential suite on the top floor and pushed open the reserved door.

   What comes into view is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which the afternoon sun can shine on one side of the room. Only now, most of the curtains have been drawn, making the room appear gloomy.

  The bathroom is a partition design, from the inside you can see the outside, but from the outside you can only see the position of the head and feet, and the middle is blocked by frosted glass, which adds a bit of ambiguous atmosphere to the dimly lit room;

  The ground is covered with thick plush carpets, and people walking on it seem to be able to turn into a cat, and their steps become light and light.

  Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the bed placed in the center of the bedroom—

  A large bed is more than enough to accommodate three people, and you don’t have to worry about falling off if you roll around on it.

"I say…"

  Xu Xiangyang let go of Lin Xingjie's hand, and found that the palms of both of them had become sweaty.

  Just as he was about to say something, there was a muffled sound, and the entire corridor behind him, and even the entire room, suddenly went dark.

   "This, what is this situation?"

   He was taken aback.

   "I told them that I hope they can be quiet and don't want to be disturbed..."

   Lin Xingjie guessed thoughtfully.

   "So, someone has actually removed the camera. Now it seems that they may think that is not enough."

  That's why they simply turned off all the electric switches?

  This is...too polite.

   "I'll call and talk about it."

  Xu Xiangyang was about to turn around, but at this moment—

  He was hugged tightly.

  Even through the clothes, he could still feel the scorching heat from the girl's cheeks on his chest.

   "... Xingjie?"

  Xu Xiangyang took a deep breath. He suddenly understood what she meant.

   "Wait a minute."

  Lin Xingjie said softly:

   "Later... If you want to take a bath with hot water, you can call the people in the hotel."

  Xu Xiangyang thought about it. Of course he hopes to respect Xingjie's wishes, but after all, this is not a matter of one person...

  He has his own selfishness and desires to satisfy; moreover, he cannot deceive such himself.

  He decided to be frank:

   "But, I want to look at you more."

   "Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, you will be able to see it."

   "Xingjie, you know what I mean."

  The girl in her arms was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

   "Why do you care so much in this kind of place..."

   "Don't you just care?"

  Xu Xiangyang gently stroked her long hair.

   "It's the first time for you and me. The mood is always similar, but the direction of preference is different. I just want to see your face clearly, can't I?"

"All right."

  Lin Xingjie murmured and agreed.

   "Then, let's take a step back and make a compromise..."

  *

  After the curtains are drawn and the electric switch is pulled down, all the light from the outside world disappears.

  In the dim room, there was a rustling sound, the sound of clothes slipping and the soft bed sinking slightly.

   There was only one source of light left: a battery-operated desk lamp, which had no power to dispel all the darkness, but only his and hers.

  This ambiguous and hazy glimmer not only took care of a girl's shy heart, but also took care of a teenager's desire to see the expressions on each other's faces clearly.

  In the halo, two young faces approached slowly, their passionate lips overlapping each other.

  After that, there was a heavy and turbulent panting, fingers and tongue followed the fiery gaze on the snow-white body skin, leaving wet traces along with the graceful undulating outline.

   "You, you still said 'just want to see your face', you are lying..."

  The girl spoke intermittently, covering her face with a pillow, her muffled voice sounded like she was crying softly.

   "Who told you to cover your face?"

  The boy stopped his movements and whispered.

   "Stupid, it's, of course, it's because I'm sure I can't see people with my current expression..."

   "It's okay, I also..."

  There was another stirring sound on the bed, and then the boy said with some embarrassment and hesitation:

   "Just in case, let's turn on the light, I, I seem to be a little lost, in case I hurt you..."

   After an unspeakable silence, the girl responded with a voice that was so soft that it was almost inaudible:

   "I, I will help you with my hands..."

  …

That night.

  The sky is getting darker, and outside the window, there are fireworks blooming in the distance of the city, thousands of trees are blooming, and stars are falling like rain, drowning out the sound in the room.

  Belongs to their first time, the good old days, like a half-burned old candle wick, once a spring breeze, and wake up from a dream.
