Invade the World Chapter 190

  Chapter 190 Terrifying Visitor

   "Then see you later."

  The squad leader smiled and waved goodbye to her two friends. By the way, he did not forget to remind:

   "By the way, don't forget to take the vegetables away before you go back. You have to cook something delicious in the evening."

"good."

  Xu Xiangyang was surprised by her reminder, but he nodded and watched the short-haired girl leaving the KTV door with a light pace.

  The slender figure drifted away from the field of vision alone, and finally disappeared at the corner of the road.

  Lin Xingjie came out of the corridor slowly with the bag in one hand, and saw him stunned by the door. When he went up, he gently kicked the boy's calf.

   "Go."

"Oh, alright."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded. He turned his head and saw that the black long straight girl's lips were tightly pressed, but there was an unstoppable smile in her pupils, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

  The two walked towards the bus stop.

  It's strange, he still feels something is wrong.

  ——"If there are other worries in your heart, please take this opportunity to speak up."

  Zhu Qingyue said so.

  Xu Xiangyang once thought about it, he felt that he had forgotten something important, and there was a faint heart in his heart that he could not get rid of.

  It wasn't until they got on the bus to go home that he suddenly remembered this:

  ——Forgot to tell the squad leader that Xingjie and I live under the same roof!

  In the past, Xu Xiangyang was worried that "high school students cohabiting together" this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone, worried that Zhu Qingyue would have other opinions on them, so he always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell the matter.

  He no longer has any worries now. But because of this, it is necessary to be frank, otherwise it will become a concealment of the status quo.

  Xu Xiangyang sighed and couldn't help tapping on his temple.

  Obviously, he only thought about this incident yesterday, and he was going to find an opportunity to be frank and open. Perhaps it was because he felt that this incident could not be sloppy, that would delay it unknowingly, and finally forget it again.

  Wait until I meet her next time, Xu Xiangyang thought.

  It should be...it doesn't matter, right?

When Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie returned home, the sky had gradually darkened.

The setting sun is sinking, the night is engulfing half of the city, the afterglow passes over the alley, the shadows cast by the big trees at the end of the alley drag on the concrete floor, and the ground still has steaming heat, and the wind blowing on people is approaching the evening, It has become cooler.

  Early morning and dusk are often the times of the day when this alley is the most crowded. The adults after get off work and the children after school all returned home, while those who stayed at home began to make pots and cooks. The clash of pots and pans and the strong smell of food flowed from the cracks in the windows.

  A scene of noisy and lively fireworks in the world.

  Xu Xiangyang walked to the steps in front of his house, and was taking out the key from his pocket, but the door opened from the inside one step earlier.

  The woman wearing a vest and disheveled hair stood at the door, holding her hair in one hand and supporting the door frame in the other. As soon as the woman wanted to speak to them, she couldn't help but yawned deeply.

   "...Sister, did you just wake up?"

  Being blocked at the door, Xu Xiangyang looked at each other a little helplessly.

  Li Qinglian covered her mouth with one hand, and replied lazily.

"Yes."

   Then she smiled happily, looking at the pair of young cohabitants who were carrying plastic bags in their hands.

   "You two went shopping together? No wonder I didn't see you when I woke up."

   "No, Xiangyang, he is out to play."

  Before Xu Xiangyang could answer, Lin Xingjie behind her took the lead in answering, her tone of voice was very calm.

  "He went with another friend, and he bought the food with her. I only met them after catching up."

  Xu Xiangyang closed his mouth and said nothing.

   "Hey, it turns out that Xiao Yang has other good friends."

  Li Qinglian blinked. The problem she cares about the most is indeed--

   "Are it a man or a woman?"

"female."

  "Also a high school student? In the same class with you?"

  "One grade. We are in class one and she is in class five."

  "When did you meet each other?"

"It was almost two months ago. Sister Lian, you should have seen her. That was the girl who stayed with us when a bad guy broke into the 15th Middle School. She was called Zhu Qingyue. That's... the most beautiful girl among them. The one."

  Lin Xingjie answered very quickly, and the two of them were very quick to ask and answer. Xu Xiangyang, who stood by, didn't even have a chance to insert a mouth.

   "So, that girl, I do have an impression."

  Li Qinglian nodded suddenly.

  Like Lin Xingjie, the squad leader is a girl who can impress people when they meet for the first time.

  "She still chatted with me a few words. By the way, I was still going to send her back at the time? As a result, I was delayed by work."

"Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded, he finally found the time to speak.

   "After you left, the two of us took her back."

   "So, your relationship has gradually become better since then."

  Li Qinglian touched her chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

   "But, you just said that Xiao Yang went out with that **** the day off today?"

   "Well, and didn't tell me, I went out early in the morning. I also looked for him when I got up, and then I didn't know where he was until I got on the phone."

  Lin Xingjie's tone was faint when she spoke, but Xu Xiangyang didn't sound like it at all.

   "Wait, isn't that just—"

  Li Qinglian looked at Rapunzel's face, and then stopped talking for a while, then cast his eyes on her brother's face.

  "...You made an appointment with a friend on weekends to go out to play, but ended up shopping for groceries together?"

   "Yes, yeah."

  Xu Xiangyang bit the bullet and answered.

"Is there a problem?"

  "The problem is that there is no..."

   "No, it's not just about buying vegetables." Lin Xingjie added next to him, "Later we went to sing K. This is my first time. It's quite interesting."

   "Hehe, or did the three of them go together?"

"Ok."

  Li Qinglian squinted her eyes and looked up and down Xu Xiangyang, while she was surprised, as if she had re-acquainted her, who had always been a good and obedient brother.

  Xu Xiangyang was a little uncomfortable by her.

   "You, don't keep standing at the door, let me in, I'm still going to cook."

  While speaking, Xu Xiangyang shrank his shoulders and lowered his head, intending to squeeze past her.

  Li Qinglian grabbed his collar, and rudely grabbed the boy's hair into a mess, but finally let him in.

But Lin Xingjie did not move.

  In normal times, she would take the initiative to go to the kitchen to help him prepare dinner, help him cut a vegetable or the next soup, etc., without Xu Xiangyang's greeting.

  But today's girl obviously didn't mean that. She stood at the door and continued to chat with Sister Lian on her own, without even looking at him in the middle.

  He had to take the bag in her hand and walk quickly to the kitchen.

Behind    came the voice of two girls chatting, one big and one small. Xu Xiangyang heard it very clearly, and the two of them continued to talk about the squad leader.

  However, Lin Xingjie was not too unfeeling after all.

  When Xu Xiangyang was halfway through sweating profusely, the Rapunzel slowly walked into the kitchen and helped him pour the chopped pieces on the cutting board into the pot. The girl didn't say a word, but hummed a little tune. She was actually quite happy.

   Regarding Xu Xiangyang leaving herself and going out with the squad leader, the girl still has a little bit of resentment; but after the KTV three-person gathering in the afternoon, her heart knot has also been solved a lot.

  Xu Xiangyang listened quietly for a while. Sometimes Lin Xingjie sang "Heart Too Soft" and sometimes "Stupid Child". It seems that these two songs left her the deepest impression.

  The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

  Xu Xiangyang put a pot of fried pork with green peppers on the table, just in time he heard the "click" of the rice cooker, so he was about to greet sister Lian to come out for dinner.

  At this moment, he suddenly heard an unhurried knock on the door.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xing, who came out of the kitchen with a bowl of tomato and potato soup, looked at each other.

  This is really strange.

  There are very few guests in their home, because the three people living in this home are not the kind of friends who make friends widely.

  Li Qinglian is obsessed with work, and usually communicates with colleagues via telephone and mobile phone; Xu Xiangyang has no other friends, and it is only half a year since her brother and sister moved to this place. If it was someone Lin Xingjie knew...

  "Could it be...your mother?"

   Xu Xiangyang asked tentatively.

  The girl's originally smiling face sank suddenly.

   "What is she here for?"

Seeing that she was still reluctant to mention her family, Xu Xiangyang did not continue to struggle with this issue.

   "Just go and see."

  While putting down the bowls and chopsticks and walking aside, he said half-jokingly.

   "Speaking of which, it should be Mr. Song Deshou who visited our house last time."

  Lin Xingjie was taken aback for a moment, showing an expression that could not help but laugh.

   "Yes, it does count."

  It was an important night for both of them. The old man in the haunted house who appeared last seemed to be a symbol of perfection for that day, and the ending was driven away by Xiao An.

  To this day, the ghost they met for the first time has finally returned to peace, and I still miss it in retrospect.

  Of course, Xu Xiangyang knew that the person standing outside the door at this moment would never be a ghost, but a living person. This difference can be easily distinguished by him or Xingjie.

  If there is an evil spirit coming to the door, the two of them should find a way to get away, after all, Sister Lian is still at home.

  The knock on the door sounded again, three times neither light nor heavy. The visitor appeared very polite.

  ... Xu Xiangyang suddenly had a weird and somewhat familiar premonition, but he hadn't caught the source of this feeling for a while.

   "Who is here? Don't you open the door?"

  Li Qinglian walked out of the bedroom and asked curiously.

   "No, I just need to open it."

  Xu Xiangyang walked over, took off the latch, and pushed the door open.

  At the moment when he saw the true face of the visitor, he actually felt a kind of stagnant breathing.

  "——Hi, good evening, Xiangyang~"

  The squad leader girl standing at the door beckoned to him with a clever smile.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at her startledly.

Since the parting in the afternoon, the girl obviously went home and changed her clothes. What she was wearing was no longer the cool and **** dress of the dark sling spinning top and denim shorts during the day, but she was changed to what she wore at the time of the supplementary class. Little suit uniform.

  The lower body of short-haired girls is a pleated skirt and black stockings of the same color, and the red bead rope tied to one side of the hair swayed slightly in the night breeze.

  Only half an hour has passed, and the lively alleys just now suddenly become quiet. Occasionally there were a few meows from the beams of the room, and the night was getting darker, and all the children playing in the nearby alleys went home. The windows of the neighboring house not far away lit up a few lights, and there was warmth in the faint chatting and laughter.

  The person standing in the center of this picture is his friend Zhu Qingyue.

The **** the steps, holding the bag in front of her with both hands, her straight and slender legs sticking together, whoever looks at her will think that she is a quiet lady; the moon and stars are sparsely night, and the dim street lights not far away are quiet It fell on her body, her black hair was shining like ink, and her pupils were like jade, and her flawless cheek became whiter and whiter than Xuexue.

  Xu Xiangyang remembered an ancient poem that he had read in the book before: "The willow on the moon, and people meet after dusk" is undoubtedly the most appropriate description of this scene.

   "What's the matter? You seem to be in a daze."

  Zhu Qingyue curiously stretched out her hand, shook it in front of him, and said with a smile:

   "I didn't expect us to meet so soon, right?"

   "...Yes, yes."

  Xu Xiangyang answered dryly.

   "How is it, surprise?"

  It's not so much a surprise, it's a fright.

   "I, I thought..."

  Xu Xiangyang was about to say something when he heard her sister's voice behind him.

   "Sure enough, there are guests coming?"

  Li Qinglian approached the door, looking over her brother's shoulder. She saw Zhu Qingyue's face and said in surprise.

   "Hey, isn't this..."

   "Hello, Officer Li."

  The squad leader greeted him politely.

   "Haha, you guys have already made an appointment."

Sister Lian laughed and patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder.

   "Just now you two planned to hide it from me, so that you are planning to find a chance to introduce Classmate Zhu more formally? I'll just say why I bought so many dishes today."

  No, no, no, I bought so many dishes for Xingjie——

etc.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly remembered that when the class leader accompanied him to the vegetable market this afternoon, he happily stuffed himself with a bunch of vegetables in his bag, and said that she likes to eat...

  At the time, he still thought it was very strange. Was it premeditated?

  "Do you not invite me in?"

  Zhu Qingyue tilted her head and her smiley face was very cute.

   "Oh... well, welcome."

  Xu Xiangyang recovered, and quickly took a pair of slippers and handed it to her.

  The squad leader took off his small leather shoes and greeted Lin Xingjie behind him.

   "Xingjie, I'm here as a guest."

   "Well, welcome."

  The attitudes of the two girls are very natural, natural to the point where people feel unnatural, but—

  Xu Xiangyang was in a daze, and at this moment, taking advantage of a small gap where Lin Xingjie and Li Qinglian turned around together, Zhu Qingyue suddenly stretched out a hand and tightly grasped his shoulder.

  The girl put her lips closer, and whispered in his ear:

   "——What are you nervous about?"

  The damp and hot breath brushed over the ears, and Xu Xiangyang's whole body was chilly and froze for a while.

   After dropping this sentence, the squad leader straightened up and walked past him on his own.
