Invade the World

  Chapter 59 A joke

  The night is getting deeper and fuller.

Behind    was the faint light emitted from the police station. The two of them stood beside a police car parked at the door, under the shadow of the eaves, so that no one could hear the conversation between the two.

   Finally, Xu Xiangyang, who laughed hard enough, was finally able to communicate seriously with the class leader and classmates about the two of them.

  Talking in places where no one is there, he can relax a little bit.

  ... Except for the few classmates in the distance who look here from time to time, their curious gazes are annoying, and the sight of Lin Xingjie, who is communicating with her sister, occasionally glimpses a bit.

  Zhu Qingyue was completely unaware of this. Her attention was completely focused on the conversation between the two.

"That's it. This kind of thing has happened... Is the source in that haunted house?" She said somewhat, "I don't know there is such a place, but it sounds like it's a scene no one would have expected. The unexpected."

   "So you can rest assured, right?" Xu Xiangyang spread his hands, "This matter was the only two of us from the beginning."

  Zhu Qingyue lowered her head in thought for a moment, and when she raised her head, she said something that surprised Xu Xiangyang.

  "Your encounter was from this semester...No, it started after the midterm exam, which is about a month ago, right?"

"you know?"

"Hehe, because I have always been paying attention. The relationship between the two of you has become better from that time. Although since the transfer of Xu, you two are neighbors, but each other is more like a pair of strangers; It started with "a certain opportunity" and became inseparable from school to school. I was curious about the reasons before, and this time I finally got the answer."

   "...I am the one who is really surprised now."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

  "You shouldn't be a stalker, you know so clearly about Xingjie and me."

   "There are some things that I don't need to take the initiative to understand, they will reach my ears unknowingly."

  Zhu Qingyue raised her finger, put it to her mouth, and smiled slightly.

   "I just need to close my mouth like this, without saying a word, and just listen to my friends chatting quietly."

  "I usually put these words in my left ear and my right ear." Xu Xiangyang recalled his daily life in the class. After class, of course, everyone would chat with friends lively and discuss topics that were just interesting. At that time, he was usually preparing the content of the next class, "You can listen carefully."

   "Most of the time, it will be regarded as a breeze. Generally, I will write it down secretly only when I hear something about the person I care about. This is my general practice."

  Zhu Qingyue answered very candidly.

   "Simply put, in the final analysis, the most important thing is ‘I care’."

  When she said this, the girl looked directly at him, her pupils gleaming with dim light, as if she was waiting for her own response.

  Xu Xiangyang's heart moved.

He thinks he is not the kind of person who is easy to be affectionate. He sometimes even has a little psychology when he sees boys of the same age who sometimes play ugly and pretend to be careless in order to attract the attention of girls. Superiority.

  Because Xu Xiangyang is different from them, Xu Xiangyang really doesn't care.

but…

now what?

  For a while, the surroundings became quiet.

Xu Xiangyang did not dare to see his sister and friends, and he did not want to see the members of the study group and their families; he just watched quietly with the monitor girl, and could even hear countless flying insects attracted by the light above his head. The lamppost whirled and flew buzzing.

Therefore, Xu Xiangyang recalled that when they were sitting side by side in the classroom, the two of them waited anxiously in the unmanned classroom under the threat of a little approaching monster in the darkness of the deep sea. When moving.

  The short experience is not far away from them, and it even happened just a few hours ago; but the words the girl said to him at that time became a little vague and it was difficult to recall clearly.

  At this moment, it finally made a comeback in the mind again.

  What did she say?

  She seemed to say "Envy me"; she also said, "I want to take advantage of the opportunity for the two to be alone to communicate with you for a while"...

  She really said that.

  The distance between the two is not too close, at least not as close as it was then. It's just that Zhu Qingyue's eyes gave him the illusion of being close at hand, and the short-haired girl's wet red lips shone seductively under the light.

  —What does this mean? Is it hinting at me?

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but think about it.

  If the squad leader really meant this to me, what should he do?

  No, this kind of question is not necessary at all.

  Of course, of course...

  Of course, it is strictly rejected.

  How can we fall in love early! Xu Xiangyang thought, no, no, no. Absolutely not.

  If two of the best students in the fifteenth middle school fall in love and their grades drop as a result, it’s not just the two of them.

  To be more serious, this is all for the heart of the teachers. I heard that the bald-haired group leader has had high blood pressure for more than ten years, and he is determined to train a champion in this class... It is hopeless to count on science, and the grade leader will almost focus all his attention on The top students in Class 1 and Class 5 of Liberal Arts, if they learn this, they might faint directly.

  But calm down and think about it, what Zhu said by "caring" does not necessarily refer to that aspect of the matter.

  After all, he is the second in grade. After Zhu Qingyue gets the grade list, she will see that she is in the top position; and she only needs to look down one more frame, which is herself.

   "You mean, you care about me?"

  All the above intense thoughts actually lasted only a short time. Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to have something to say and point to himself.

   Then, wondering if it should be reasonable, Zhu Qingyue shook her head quickly.

   "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean this just now..."

  Sure enough it is not.

   "That is Xingjie?"

  Xu Xiangyang scratched the back of his head, even more confused.

   "Why do you care about her? Did you two know each other before?"

  Zhu Qingyue blinked, a little bit uncontrollable.

   "Is Student Xu used to seeing Student Lin? The reason is not obvious."

"Ok?"

   "Because she is very beautiful. Isn't everyone paying attention to her for this reason?"

   "Just because of looks?"

  Xu Xiangyang is a little dull.

"Yes."

   And Zhu Qingyue replied with a natural tone:

  "A girl looks at her face like a girl. No one dislikes beautiful and cute things, especially the beautiful and smooth black long straight hair like Lin's classmate, which is really enviable. It will feel good to the touch, right?"

  ...That's true.

  Xu Xiangyang nodded involuntarily, agreeing.

   "So for me, in the whole school, only classmate Lin is the most worthy of my attention."

  But he still felt something was wrong, frowning subconsciously.

  Just because of his appearance, he looks at people differently. It sounds...how to describe it. Xu Xiangyang always feels a bit frivolous. This is because such words are contrary to the education and concepts he has received since childhood.

  If it’s someone else, it’s just a different concept; but from Zhu Qingyue's mouth, he found that he felt a little disappointed.

Since transferring to the 15th middle school and hearing about Zhu Qingyue, this person has always been the first in grade since enrolling-even before the placement of classes. The perfect girl who is trusted by teachers and classmates has become a perfect girl. The object in his mind that needs to do his best to catch up.

  Of course, it's just a loss, not a disappointment. Because Xu Xiangyang knows very well that he just put his own ideas on others without authorization, and others have no reason to respond to such expectations.

  "A person's appearance cannot determine a person's value, there must be other things more worthy of attention." He said.

  But the class leader and classmate replied with a more affirmative attitude than him:

   "Generally speaking, it is not possible, but if it is pretty to a certain extent like Lin, it will probably be fine."

  However, I don’t know if I noticed Xu Xiangyang’s slight depression, Zhu Qingyue added.

"In addition, student Xu, what I just said may make you a little misunderstood. Of course I care about you as much, otherwise I won’t notice that your sister is a policeman... Well, how should I put it, we two are studying A competitor in Shanghai, right? If I don’t pay enough attention to it, it will be miserable to be pulled from the position I have always maintained."

   "I don't care much about this kind of thing." Xu Xiangyang said solemnly, "The important thing is not to compare with others, but to see that your own grades are improving on the ground. If you blindly compare scores, you will only lose your way."

"Is that so?" Zhu Qingyue nodded her head as if feeling reasonable, but what she said next made him even more frustrated, "Maybe you are right, after all, I have never had a chance to compare with others. "

  "..."

   "Haha, I was joking."

   Seeing Xu Xiangyang with a stinky face, Classmate Zhu smiled happily, as if he wanted to return all the shares he laughed at earlier.

"I was really under pressure at the time. When you took the first monthly exam, you were still in the top ten, and you caught up with the midterm exam. Obviously, I was able to get a long way from second place before. , But it was only twenty minutes away from classmate Xu that time..."

"It's nineteen points." Xu Xiangyang corrected. "The teacher has shown your test papers to classmates. It is only three points for Chinese composition, two points for English listening, two points for composition, one historical multiple-choice question, and one political multiple-choice question. Two points are deducted if the last solution of the last math problem is not answered... it's just a little bit off."

  "..."

  Zhu Qingyue covered her mouth with her hand, but she couldn't help but laughed out.

  This boy obviously cares a lot.

   "By the way, classmate Zhu, you said, ‘I envy you so much’, because of Xingjie’s relationship?"

  Xu Xiangyang coughed and quickly changed the subject.

"That..." Zhu Qingyue thought for a while, nodded and admitted, "Yes, it's because you are the closest person to her in school. Actually, it's not just me, but everyone is envious of it. "

  I am afraid that more people are "respect and stay away". Xu Xiangyang thought.

   "If I can, I also want to be like you and become friends with Lin."

  Squad leader classmate sighed slightly, her tone did not sound hopeful.

   "Will it be difficult?"

   "...I don't know." Xu Xiangyang shook her head, "It's her choice to make friends with."

  At this moment, they all noticed that someone was approaching, and they turned their heads at the same time.

   "Uh, didn't you bother?"

   Standing not far away is Wang Yue, who was stared at by Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue at the same time, he said weakly.

   "I just say one thing, everyone is ready to go."

  *

"goodbye!"

  "See you tomorrow, monitor, and classmate Xu!"

  "Everyone, remember to rest early and get a good night's sleep?"

   "Haha, don't mention it, just don't have nightmares..."

   Standing on the side of the road and saying goodbye to the members of the study group, he turned around and said to Zhu Qingyue:

   "Okay, I told you everything I know. Is there anything else?"

  ... Actually, I didn’t tell the whole story. Regarding his ability and Lin Xingjie's ability, Xu Xiangyang vaguely covered it up.

  It’s just that Zhu Qingyue doesn’t seem to care. Seeing the gleaming look in the girl's eyes when he talked, she knew that she was immersed in the novelty and joy of discovering a new world hidden under the sea in the everyday world.

  Xu Xiangyang is familiar with this expression because he and Lin Xingjie have had similar experiences.

  At the same time, the conversation between Lin Xingjie and Li Qinglian seemed to come to an end, and the two came over here.

   "If there is no problem, let's separate here."

  Because the two are originally neighbors, there is no need to worry about being guessed that they are living under the same roof just because they go back together.

   "Okay, goodbye!"

  Zhu Qingyue waved his hand to him briskly, and then waved goodbye to Sister Lian and Lin Xingjie with a smile on his face.

  "See you tomorrow!"

  Sister Lian smiled and said "goodbye", but Lin Xingjie remained silent, only nodding lightly in response.

   "Xiaoyang, let's go back here."

Xu Xiangyang walked for a while following the steps of the two girls, the young and the young. He was originally full of curiosity about "what did they talk about just now?", he was hesitating whether to speak now or to ask someone privately after going back. Suddenly, he froze for a while.

  He turned his head.

  Under the dim street lights, the girl was standing quietly on the side of the road.

  It was late at night, and the streets in the center of the city were still lively, but she was leaning against the lamppost behind her alone.

  Occasionally, someone is speeding by on a motorcycle, causing a gust of wind. Zhu Qingyue gathered the tousled hair in her ears, she looked around for a while, and simply walked to the side road and sat down.

  The girl supported her chin with one hand, and stared at the road in front of her. It looks a little lonely.

  Until then, he did not notice one thing:

  Zhu Qingyue seems to be alone.

  Obviously everyone had called, and the rest of the classmates were picked up by their parents. He and Xingjie walked home with her sister, but only classmate Zhu and she...

   is always a person.
