Invade the World Chapter 218

  Chapter 218 We Are Love Rivals

   Lin Xingjie did not respond immediately. She seemed to feel that the stream was too cold, so she lifted one foot up and placed it on the ground at will.

   "It really is."

  Her tone does not sound very surprised.

   "Already noticed it?"

"Sometimes I find that the way you look at Xiangyang is exactly the same as when I looked at him. That's not the attitude you should have towards a friend, nor is it an emotion that can be explained clearly by saying "I respect him". ."

   Lin Xingjie said half-jokingly.

   "Of course, I only noticed this recently. Maybe after becoming his girlfriend, I became more sensitive in this regard."

  Looking at her friend with a calm face, Zhu Qingyue still had doubts in her heart.

  This day will come sooner or later, and she has anticipated it since she made the decision to "want three people together".

  In other words, this is the threshold that I am destined to cross.

only…

  Why is today?

  "Xingjie, why did you mention this suddenly?"

   "There is no particular reason."

  The long-haired girl hugged her knees, looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky, and replied in the same leisurely tone:

"Just now, when you two pretended to be lovers and walked over from the door. The people at the ticket gate probably didn't notice Xiang Yang had come in twice, and the others shouldn't have noticed... But I still couldn't let it go. "

   "Xiang Yang said that he did this with your consent."

   "Yes, I did agree. Like him, I feel that since three people are traveling together, leaving you alone at the door will make you feel uncomfortable. So..."

  Lin Xingjie did not continue, but shook her head slightly.

"It has been like this since a long time ago. I know that the relationship between the two of you is very good, and I even hope that it will continue to be good. Because in my eyes, the whole school has no more suitable friends than you and Xiangyang. You two have similar interests. , It's still the first and second grade, they all match up no matter how you look at it;"

   "But on the other hand, when I see you two walking too close, I feel uncomfortable and even have very bad thoughts... it sounds like a contradiction, do you understand?"

"Of course."

  Zhu Qingyue couldn't help smiling.

   "It's not as normal as it is. With the relationship of the three of us, it will become like this sooner or later."

Lin Xingjie was silent for a while, nodded slowly, and agreed.

  In fact, on the second day when the two friends officially became boy and girl friends, Zhu Qingyue and Xu Xiangyang once said similar things:

   "I sincerely wish you all, and at the same time I am jealous of you from the bottom of my heart."

  Xingjie's so-called "I am very similar to you" may include the emotions and circumstances in this area.

  It's just that Zhu Qingyue thought to herself, she walked farther ahead than herself, standing closer to him.

  It's been this way from the beginning...

   "But, I didn't expect you to say it so carelessly."

   Lin Xingjie sighed.

  "I now start to feel that if you are not my first friend and your status in my heart is not that important, it would be great, so that I can turn my face with you casually."

  She seems to be angry.

  Zhu Qingyue looked at her friend's profile, and read the undisclosed anger from it.

  Xingjie must be trying to restrain her emotions, just like she said. If someone were to change, she might have already fought.

  "When I realized that I liked Xiangyang, it was during the days in the haunted house."

  Zhu Qingyue said frankly.

   "But the process that I really like may be before that."

"What's the reason? It seems that I have only been saved by him once... In fact, I had dreams of luck at that time; you may not look at him, but treat him as a friend rather than a love object. After all, in the eyes of others Here, Xiangyang may be good enough, but it's still far less special than yours."

   "Well..."

Zhu Qingyue blinked.

  "You should know better than me that whether someone is good or not is what others say, but in fact, there is no more special boy in this world."

  The long-haired girl let out a soft snort from her nose.

   "Looking at how you are talking, in that haunted house, a lot of things have happened between you and Xiang Yang."

   "Jealous? Do you care?"

  Short-haired girl with a smile on her face.

"…is a bit."

   Lin Xingjie curled her lips.

   "But it doesn't matter, he and I are still very young and have plenty of time to cultivate relationships."

  Zhu Qingyue smacked her lips, and suddenly she couldn't laugh.

  Is this the margin for the winner?

   "However, if this is the case, it is a bit strange. When you realized that you like Xiangyang, it was before I confessed, right? Then you—"

   "The reason why I am willing to cheer for my rival is of course because I don't want my relationship to be too challenging... OK, OK, don't stare at me like that, I'm just kidding."

  Zhu Qingyue suddenly realized that her feet had been soaked for too long, and they were numb from the cold. She hurriedly lifted it up, rubbing the instep with her fingers to invigorate the blood, and replied:

"I just don't want to break the agreement between the two of you. At the same time, it is still an agreement between me and you-didn't I say that it would make you feel at ease during the sports meeting? I think that fulfilling this agreement is for you and for Xiangyang. , Are the best choices."

   "So, should I thank you?"

   Lin Xingjie raised a slender brow.

"Of course."

  Zhu Qingyue replied unceremoniously.

After looking at each other for a while with the squad leader, Lin Xingjie nodded gently.

   "...you are right, I really have to thank you."

  Uneasy, uncertain, a little inferiority complex, and jealousy of another friend that was not completely unaware at that time—

  An insignificant trouble to others, for a girl, it is a mountain that is difficult to traverse alone.

  But the moment I heard Xu Xiangyang's "confession", all of the above disappeared.

  Now Lin Xingjie is no longer the little girl who can feel at ease and lack self-confidence only after hearing the affirmation of others.

  But, if there were no Xu Xiangyang's confession, there would be no her now. So in the final analysis, there is still no way to bypass that day.

   "By the way, at this point, do you want to hear what Xiang Yang said when he confessed to me that day?"

   "Can you? I thought you would keep it as a secret forever."

   "The treasures you collect will be shown to others one day, so they are valuable." Lin Xingjie said, "It's you, wouldn't you feel sad?"

  Zhu Qingyue shook her head.

   "I am not that vulnerable."

"That's good."

   Lin Xingjie put her hand to her mouth and cleared her throat. The girl hadn't spoken yet, a faint blush was already floating on both sides of her cheeks, and it seemed that she was still feeling ashamed of what happened that day.

   "In short, before Xiang Yang confessed, he first confirmed one thing to me, it was about... well, about me and him..."

  Sir squad leader nodded clearly.

"I know. A boy of his age, who lives under the same roof with a girl but can still stand by himself, clearly admits that he has thoughts about us both in that way... Is it possible that he is a color, a heart and a courage? type?"

  "Yes, this kind of thing is not practical for him to speak. If you save a little bit, you will notice that Xiangyang still secretly looks at us with that kind of eyes."

  After all, both Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue are girls who are used to being stared at, so they are very sensitive to other people's eyes.

   "But compared to other men, his eyes are not that annoying, maybe it's still a bit different? For example, he's more polite than others."

  Alternatively, there is nothing special about the sight itself, it is people who are special.

   "So, what did he say?"

   "Xiang Yang feels that I may be resistant to men and women. Because of the influence of my family, he is worried that he will not be able to bear the impulse and hurt me after the relationship."

"Hey."

  Zhu Qingyue's eyes widened.

   "...So, is that true?"

   Lin Xingjie nodded slightly.

"awesome."

  Short hair girls can't help but marvel.

   "When you said this, I realized that I felt like this, but before that, I hadn't noticed it at all."

  Zhu Qingyue thinks she is a type who is more sensitive to other people's emotions, but once compared with Xu Xiangyang, it is not on the same level at all.

  If there is a hide-and-seek competition in this world, Xu Xiangyang must be the one who finds people the most in the world. No matter where the companion hides, whether he is left behind or not, he will find out.

  Because of this, it is easy for the people around this boy to have a deep sense of trust in him.

   "He also said that he hopes that I can become stronger and more independent, and that one day I can stand on an equal footing."

  "Are you not good enough now?"

  Zhu Qingyue never thought that Xingjie would take the initiative to propose it. She felt that she was really taken aback.

   "That's two different things."

"In fact, for me at the beginning, it doesn't matter if I grow up or not. Even if I'm tired of being by his side, it's okay. It's just that I'm no longer alone, and I still have two such excellent friends. If I never had Progress, it would be embarrassing to be left alone."

   Lin Xingjie put on her shoes and socks, patted the dust on her skirt, stood up, and looked down at her friends.

   "Well, what do you think after listening?"

"Ok…"

  Zhu Qingyue tilted her head and replied with a chuckle:

   "I seem to like him more."

"…Yes."

  At this time, Lin Xingjie did not look so angry.

"The last question. Qingyue, can you continue to be our friend? Obviously he and I are already lovers. Obviously you and me and him are good friends, so you won't want to cross-cut. Right?"

  "The relationship between the three of us will not stop changing like this."

  Zhu Qingyue did not respond positively, but expressed her true thoughts in this way.

   "It's a shame that you have the face to say."

  The girl with long hair pressed her thin lips tightly, stared at her silently for a while, then suddenly tilted upwards slightly, showing a slight smile.

   "However, I should have understood that you are a very troublesome friend, not only for Xiangyang, but even more so for me."

   "I reminded you both from the very beginning."

"Yes…"

   Lin Xingjie reached out her hand.

   "Let's meet again, my name is Lin Xingjie, and I am your rival in love. Although from the result point of view, I have already won."

   "That's not necessarily."

  Zhu Qingyue grabbed her hand and stood up from the ground.

   "What will happen in the future, who can guarantee it?"

  Xu Xiangyang trek hard all the way, finally reached the destination,

  He stood alone on the high hillside, with his clothes open, letting the breeze come to drive away the heat.

  The scenery in front of him is extremely wide, and Xu Xiangyang only feels relaxed and happy for a while, and he can't wait to sing a song.

He looked very far, and he could see the villages at the foot of the mountain; and surrounding the low civil-timbered houses were divided fields, and the puddles of various sizes in the mountains were like broken mirrors. , The stream flowing from the top of the head is like a ribbon of precious silver, hovering down the dense forest and cliffs;

  Xu Xiangyang's vision continues to extend forward. The tall buildings in the city appear at the end of the vast sky like phantoms, looking like mirages in the desert.

  Although the process of climbing up is really hard, once you reach the top of the mountain, your heart will be filled with a sense of accomplishment.

  He thought, this is the greatest pleasure of mountain climbing.

After the wind blew for a while, Xu Xiangyang's mood gradually calmed down.

  He turned his head and looked up the mountain. The mountain road not far away was swaying and winding, and the houses of the camping ground were faintly visible under the cover of the bushes.

   "Where are they both?"

  Xu Xiangyang muttered to himself.

  I didn't see the two girls along the way, I really don't know where they went.

  Unexpectedly, their feet are so fast that they will let themselves be the boy. It seems that I have to exercise well after I go back.

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, shaking the thermos in his hand and twisting the lid.

   has been filled with a large bottle of water from a nearby stream.

  Probably because he was too thirsty, he just felt that the mountain spring water he drank in his mouth was unprecedentedly refreshing.

  While walking down the hillside, Xu Xiangyang could not help drinking up.

  He walked halfway, simply ran back, found the stream and filled it with another bottle.

   "Xiangyang, what are you doing?"

  The shout of girlfriend came from above.

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head and found that the other party was staring at him with a weird face.

   "I'm pouring water, I plan to take a bottle back."

  He greeted Xingjie enthusiastically and wanted to share with her.

  "This is called natural mineral water, right? It tastes really good. Come and try it."

   "Uh...then there is no need, let's hurry up and gather in the camping ground."

   Lin Xingjie waved her hand quickly and refused.

  For some reason, the girlfriend's expression looks a little flustered...

  Xu Xiangyang stared at her face suspiciously for a while, wondering if something happened with the squad leader, so he asked again:

   "Where is Qingyue?"

   "She is waiting for us there."

Seeing that Xingjie's attitude was fairly natural, Xu Xiangyang temporarily let go of his doubts and nodded in agreement.

   "Okay, let's go."
