Invade the World Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Temporary Residence

Even though it was dusk, the sky was still darkly lit, but the people in the room didn't mean to converge at all. The "battle situation" was extremely fierce, and it seemed that he didn't care about being heard by the neighbors.

Neither of them are children anymore, of course they know what is going on inside.

Xu Xiangyang quietly glanced at the person next to her: Lin Xingjie, holding the key, stood stiffly at the door like a sculpture. She stared at her shoes and the steps below her, without saying a word.

Long hair fell down, covering the girl's expression. Only the reddish ears and slightly trembling hands can make people clearly feel the shame and anger in her heart that she can't wait to get under the ground.

Remembering the panic and helplessness in her eyes when she looked at her just now, Xu Xiangyang pressed her lips tightly and made a decision.

He is not the kind of person who is good at communicating with others, let alone witnessing such embarrassing scenes with girls, in fact, he is still very nervous until now.

But Xu Xiangyang knows that just like some things have to be done, you will regret it for a lifetime if you don't do it; some things must be said even if you bite the bullet.

"...Xingjie, are you free now?"

The girl's shoulders shook, she still lowered her head, did not answer, just nodded gently.

"Then... come to my house?"

He tried his best to show a less awkward smile, and proactively sent out an invitation.

Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie returned home together. The teenagers sat face to face on the sofa in the living room. You look at me and I look at you. No one spoke first.

The atmosphere is very rigid.

He lowered his head to consider for a while, got up and said, "I'll get you a drink", then without waiting for a response, he fled and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Xu Xiangyang opened the refrigerator, took out the juice bottle, and took two more cups. At this moment, he heard the voice of a girl in the living room.

"Does the thing between a man and a woman really take that long?"

Her voice is not too big or too small, just for him to hear, but it seems to be talking to herself.

"I, I don't know."

Xu Xiangyang was flustered for some reason, and almost knocked over the cup full of orange juice.

"...That's right."

Lin Xingjie was silent again.

Xu Xiangyang walked to the living room with two glasses of juice, and handed one to her.

Lin Xingjie whispered "thank you", took a sip, put the cup down, held it in her hand, and stared forward.

"Want to watch TV?"

Xu Xiangyang noticed her gaze, so he stepped forward to turn on the TV.

Lin Xingjie's ears listened to the people on the screen, but there was an unspeakable taste in her heart.

After a while, she said.

"Did you hear that just now? Do you know what they are doing? I can tell you very clearly that the man is not my father, but my mother has only met him recently."

"I didn't care about this kind of thing, after all, the old man is no longer there. She is free to find whoever she wants."

He listened silently, looking at the blank face of the girl sitting on the sofa.

"But the problem is that the woman's vision is really bad. No one is reliable, or someone who doesn't have a decent job. Not only can she not hope to get a family and start a career, she sometimes needs her to take care of it; or she just intends to. If you play, you will pat your **** and disappear after a while..."

"Have you ever heard someone say bad things about me and my mother? Don't blame others, because what they say is basically true. Over the past year, she has taken at least four different men home, and every This is the case all the time. I don't care about the eyes of others at all, so that everyone around me knows her little mess. No wonder people gossiping."

Xu Xiangyang finally understood what was going on with her poor expression just now, and he couldn't help saying:

"But it has nothing to do with you..."

"Yes. She is my mother."

Lin Xingjie's answer is very concise.

Xu Xiangyang has nothing to say.

He sat down on the other end of the sofa, and was separated from the girl by several people, sitting there with a dreadful neck, watching the TV quietly. But just by looking at his eyes, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Lin Xingjie looked at her stiff friend. At this time, she didn't even dare to turn her head to look at her. There is no doubt that he was feeling cramped and nervous... After realizing this, for some reason, her depressed mood improved.

"Xiangyang, why are you looking sullen?"

Lin Xingjie leaned over and poked the boy in the face with her finger.

"I…"

Xu Xiangyang frowned and slapped the girl's hand with a slap.

"I am worried about you."

"There is nothing to worry about, this is my family affair."

Lin Xingjie shook her head.

"Actually, I had a good time when I came out, but I didn't expect them to be sticky and sticky until the end of the night. Don't worry, I'll go back in a while and won't cause you trouble."

"Did you already know that?"

"Yes."

The girl replied.

"The two of them didn't plan to drive me, but I couldn't stay in that place, so I had to get out consciously."

Speaking of which, she asked a little embarrassedly:

"Can I use the bathroom? I was sweating before and I couldn't just lie down on the bed like this. But the two of them would definitely use it too. The place they used...I don't want to go back and wash it again."

Xu Xiangyang seemed to be in a daze, until the girl asked another question before nodding.

"Well, it's okay, you can use it."

Lin Xingjie got up from the sofa, and just walked a few steps to the bathroom, only to find that she had forgotten important things, she stopped and muttered to herself.

"There are still clothes to change. Ah, no, it seems I still have to go back..."

"Classmate Lin, wait here." Xu Xiangyang interrupted her, "I'll make a call."

In Lin Xingjie's surprised gaze, he walked to the cupboard next to the TV and picked up the phone on it.

"is it okay?"

"It's your classmate, the question is no," the guardian asked from the other side of the microphone, slightly exhausted, but still smiling, "I just want to know, is it a man or a woman?"

"It's a girl." Xu Xiangyang replied. In order to avoid misunderstandings, he speeded up his speech, "I think she has nowhere to go for the time being..."

"Is there a home I can't go back? It must be uncomfortable for a child of this age to go through this kind of thing. You have to take good care of others and don't bully them."

The woman's tone is full of affection and sympathy.

"Who would bully her, am I that kind of person?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The boy who usually looks more behaved is really going to be enthusiastic, and the harder it is to control himself."

"Hey, wait! Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, people are standing next to me."

The age difference between this guardian and him is not too big, and it is considered a sibling relationship. The two often joke with each other, which is different from the relationship between the general elders and juniors.

So, although one party has to go to school, the other always works until late at night, and lives under the same roof, but there are few opportunities for communication, but the relationship between the two is very harmonious, and they are not alienated.

"By the way, Xiaoyang, you are pretty amazing. Wouldn't you either not make friends, or just make a girlfriend if you want?"

"Impossible." Xu Xiangyang categorically denied. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I guess she should be very wary of the opposite **** now. I don't know if she will agree to live in someone else's house... Anyway, let's talk to Sister Lian first."

When speaking, someone's vague voice came from the other side of the microphone. The woman left the microphone and shouted "Okay, I'll go right now", then turned back and said:

"Okay, I know the matter, and you can do it yourself. If you need money, I leave it in the same place. If it is not enough, you can call me to ask. You can buy daily necessities, or you can use mine first, including changing and washing. Her clothes and pajamas. Girls' daily life is more troublesome than boys' and they use more things. She may not be as embarrassed to open her mouth. Do you remember to be careful, you know?"

"Got it, go ahead."

"Well. There are still cases on hand, and it will take three or four days to deal with it. During this time, you must pay attention to your safety, don't wander around, don't eat street things, and—"

"Okay, okay, I know. Goodbye, work harder."

Although this sister is more enlightened than ordinary parents in all aspects, only at this time will she appear as verbose as all parents in the world.

Xu Xiangyang put down the phone.

"My sister agreed."

"what are you saying…"

Lin Xingjie was still standing at the bathroom door, staring at herself.

Xu Xiangyang patted his head, he forgot that he hadn't asked the other party for advice. The excitement just now was forgotten for an instant, the young man paid close attention to the other person's expression and asked cautiously at the same time.

"I just called, and my sister agreed to stay at my house for one night, and I can lend you clothes... Would you like it?"
