Invade the World Chapter 240

  Chapter 240 Unforgettable Tonight

  Fireflies are flying all over the sky, and the scene is quite spectacular.

  It really seems that the Milky Way hanging upside down in the night sky fell to the ground, pouring and flowing out in one breath, soaking the lush forest layers.

   "It feels like walking into a fairy tale world." The squad leader's voice came from the side, "The foreign picture books I saw when I was a child seemed to have such scenes."

   "...Yes. If you have been living in a city, it is difficult to see such a scene."

  Xu Xiangyang stared at the scenery in front of him, and replied as if talking to himself.

The glow of the fireflies not only illuminates the surrounding environment, it also sets off the soft moonlight, the fragrance of the grass and trees, and the dense night that would have made people feel terrified. The scenery in the area became gentle.

The crow of insects one after another is like a harmonious sonata, the bushes are swaying slightly under the breeze, a gurgling stream circulates along the end of the rock, and the clear water waves reflect the golden brilliance, I don't know it is the stars in the sky. Still fireflies on the ground.

  As Zhu Qingyue said, it is a dreamlike scene like a fairy tale.

  He wiped his eyes, took a breath of fresh air, and soon calmed down.

   "Maybe I won't see such a sight in the future."

The squad leader said suddenly.

   "You always seem to be pessimistic." Lin Xingjie retorted, "As long as there are mountains and forests, the fireflies can't disappear, but people in the city can't see them."

  "What if the mountains and forests disappear one day? Or the air is not suitable for them to survive, so there are no extinct creatures."

   "...I don't want to discuss this with you."

  The girl with long hair puffed her cheeks, as if she was a little dissatisfied.

   "Why do you want to say this at this time, it's really disappointing."

  Zhu Qingyue lightly covered her lips, but laughed instead.

   "I mean, if you have the opportunity, you should come here often, so that one day such a scene will disappear and be completely invisible, and you will feel regretful."

  They began to walk across the stream and across the soft meadow. The area of ​​this vacant lot is not wide. After wandering around for a while, I quickly saw the ends of both sides, which are all cliffs and cliffs.

   "Is there still a way ahead?"

   "Be careful, watch your steps."

  Get closer, then closer.

  They pushed aside the luxuriant branches and leaves, and under the cover of layers of greenery, there was another expansive new world——

   "Wow, I can see the mountain directly from here."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but marvel.

  The location of this firefly valley is unique. After walking out of the dense forest that is not too spacious, you will see the endless night.

In the distance is the village at the foot of the mountain. Houses of various sizes are lined up in a star-studded plain on the plain. It's a large firefly, resting quietly in the field.

  A bright moon hung high in the lonely night sky. He saw the meandering water and the divided fields, as well as the telephone poles and the loess road in the middle of the village.

  There is a dark yellow light bulb at the entrance of the village, and the light is quietly covering the tractor next to it. Standing on a hillside and looking down, I only feel quiet and solemn; occasionally there are a few barkings, but the atmosphere is even more chilly.

  They turned back again.

The two girls standing on the edge of the rock were talking in low voices, while Xu Xiangyang was holding a branch and dipping it around in the stream. There was mud and sand in the water, and a few silver-scale fish swimming by his hand. Come and go.

  Just as he felt a little bored, he suddenly heard a muffled noise from behind, like the muffled noise from the depths of the sky before the thunderstorm came.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, and quickly stood up and found that Lin Xingjie was staring at herself with a puzzled face?

   "Did you hear it? That is... what is that sound?"

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

   seems to have come from a place that is not too far away.

   "It's firecrackers."

Zhu Qingyue said with a smile.

  "What holiday is there recently?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, still shook his head.

   "The Qixi Festival? It's too early, and no one will set off firecrackers on the Qixi Festival."

   "Let's check it out."

   Lin Xingjie patted her trousers and jumped off the sitting rock.

  They walked through the dense forest, over the hillside, moving in the direction of the sound, and soon found the place.

  Not far from the village, there is a large area surrounded by red chimneys. The houses and buildings are built with stained glass.

"boom!"

  A shining beam of light rushed into the night sky, and splashed into countless pieces of silver in an explosion.

   is fireworks.

   "It's really setting off fireworks..."

  Lin Xingjie said that her face was illuminated by the light of fireworks for a moment, and then suddenly returned to darkness.

   "It's celebrating, for example, cutting the ribbon and opening the business."

   Xu Xiangyang guessed.

   "It looks like a factory has landed near the village. The reporter probably knew about it, so he told us."

  Summer fireworks lift off again.

  The young people stopped talking, just staring quietly ahead, watching the fireworks bloom in the middle of the night sky.

   is actually not too good-looking. At least with the noisy Lunar New Year fireworks during the Spring Festival, it is so lively that you can't sleep all night, and the "crackling" sounds everywhere in the streets are not at the same level.

  Not only only a few solitary flowers, but also one will be launched every once in a while.

  It's just that, for Xu Xiangyang, he is not watching fireworks.

  He is listening, the sound of the explosion will feel deafening if you listen carefully, so it covers up his little thoughts and actions;

  He was watching, watching secretly. It was Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue.

  They have white porcelain-like profile faces and beautiful features with their own style.

Neither she nor she spoke at the moment, so she appeared peaceful, her expression calm and solemn, and her static beauty like a sculpture, as if God was squeezing the image of other people at will. Only these two people used a knife. Carefully crafted little by little.

  When this kind of perfection is solidified in the dark night and the whistling wind, there is a kind of outstanding beauty. The vivid impression on weekdays is different, and it is almost sacred.

  Different from all the other people he has met, the two girls have some similar qualities in them, and they don't seem to belong to this world...

  In fact, in the past, they did always maintain a sense of separation from the crowd; it was after being with him that they slowly began to have a human touch, and they would come into contact with others.

  As the first person to have such an opportunity to touch their hearts, Xu Xiangyang felt that he must have been a good person in his last life, last life, and last life, and he was so lucky.

  Of course, still in this life. Otherwise, there is no subjective initiative to seize the opportunity...

  For some reason, while he was thinking about it, what Lin Xingjie said to him when he was in the reservoir suddenly appeared in his mind.

   "You must know the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl."

  Girlfriend smiled and said to herself.

  "The Weaver Girl is a fairy in the sky. Cowherd relies on taking her clothes. Weaver Girl has no choice but to marry him as his wife."

  Fairies' clothes are the threads that pull the fairies from the sky and fix them on the earth, right? Just like a kite, only by holding a string in your hand can you continue to ensure that it can come back, and you can return to yourself wherever you go.

  And it is now in his own hands.

  The only thing that is a little weird and annoying is that there are two fairies, so there are two such threads.

  At this moment, Xu Xiangyang had countless thoughts in his mind, half of which were fighting with each other.

  Sometimes, when people encounter problems that are difficult to choose, they think like this:

  I really hope that time can be frozen in this moment, and it will last forever and forever...

  Xu Xiangyang now has the same idea, but not only because of troubles, but also because of happiness.

  When he was standing side by side on the hillside with them, the smell of the girls lingered around him, and the temperature and softness from the occasional arm touch made people feel irritating. Although it is an experience that should have been used for a long time, the happiness in my heart has not been weakened by this.

Excessive happiness is the main reason why he can't let go of his heart. His peers generally long for growth, longing to get rid of the boring life of the moment, longing to get rid of the shackles of adults, longing to become adults...Xu Xiangyang is different, he always hopes The pace of time can be slower and slower.

  This kind of repressed emotion in the bottom of my heart sometimes makes him feel confused, but just as the passage of time will not be shifted by human will, he should always have the day to make a choice, and it should not be too late.

   Judging from the common sense of society and the moral education he has received since childhood, after having a lover, he should have kept a distance from the squad leader; but would anyone be willing to take the initiative to let go of this thread?

  Xu Xiangyang felt more and more greedy and greedy, but he really didn't want to let go.

  To his regret, the sound of fireworks did not last long. Soon, a group of people gathered in the factory left, leaving behind a piece of debris.

  The night sky was calm again, and the white smoke curled up against the velvety black background, and soon disappeared again.

  The wind gradually cooled a bit, and they returned to the forest and walked back to the sparkling valley.

  On the road, Xu Xiangyang heard Zhu Qingyue ask.

"Why do not you speak?"

  Are you asking yourself?

   "Your low eyebrows and silent look just now, aren't you making a wish?"

"Yes."

  The person who answered is Lin Xingjie.

  "I've heard that there are wishes for meteors and candles on birthday cakes, but for fireworks...I've heard of it for the first time."

   "Just think of it and do it."

  The tone of the girlfriend is very plain.

   "Then what wish did you make?"

  Hearing this question, Xu Xiangyang, who recovered himself, couldn't help but interject:

  "I don't know anything else, but I've heard that 'the wish that I have made will not work once I tell others'..."

   "Xingjie just talked if she wanted to. I didn't mean to force her."

  Sir squad leader replied solemnly, and then smiled and looked at the girl beside him.

"But, if she can't say it, it means she wants to fulfill our wishes without telling us, right? Xu Xiangyang, as a boyfriend, don't you feel curious at all? You don't want to know what Xingjie wants Something about it? For general needs, she can talk to you or me directly."

  You are not called "forced", it is simply "coercion", it is "moral kidnapping", it is not much better at all! Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

  In spite of this, his heart did rise...a little bit of curiosity.

  Because based on Xu Xiangyang's experience of getting along with his girlfriend on weekdays, this girl's material desire is actually very low.

   may occasionally be a bit greedy, but basically she doesn't actively ask for it. Most of the time, Xu Xiangyang still relies on Xu Xiangyang's words and looks to see what she is interested in, and then she takes the initiative to shop for her wallet to buy it for her.

  Perhaps she has the side of being a good child by nature, perhaps because compared with her past life, she feels that she is satisfied and happy now...In short, it is difficult for him to imagine the desire of a girl.

  ...Do you want to let her talk about it? Xu Xiangyang's thoughts were reversed 180 degrees in just a few seconds, and he even had the urge to open his mouth to agree with the squad leader.

  After all, she and I are a couple, he thought, it's okay to show concern in this regard.

  However, before Xu Xiangyang succeeded in persuading himself to change his mind, his girlfriend took the initiative to answer.

  Lin Xingjie didn't seem to feel embarrassed or embarrassed, but smiled slightly when asked by the squad leader.

"I just had a strange feeling when I was watching the fireworks just now. It was clear that the sound from that place was very loud, but I felt it was so quiet around me, I could feel the wind blowing on my face, it was cool. Yes, it's very comfortable; I also know that you are by my side, very close to me, and you can reach it..."

  She took a deep breath, her tone was refreshing.

"I feel very happy now, and my wish is very simple. I just hope that'every year there is today and every year has the present'. Of course, there is no need to come here every year as Qingyue said. That's too exaggerated... Moreover, the place does not really matter, as long as three people are together, no matter where they are, just walk around."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously answered.

   "...It will happen."

"I know."

  When she said this, her girlfriend didn't look at her, she always looked at the endless night sky. Obviously there was nothing there, but she seemed to have seen the scene of the three of them growing up, smiling.

   "So, this is probably not a real wish, but a talk about our future."

   "That's great."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and raised her palms towards them.

   "That's right. Let's make an appointment here. Next summer, we will end the college entrance examination and graduate from high school. If you want to come to the surrounding life, there will be big changes... But I don't think this will change us."

  Xu Xiangyang did not hesitate, and quickly reached out and high-five with that white tender little hand, only to be stared at by the other party instead.

   "You stupid, how do three people clap and swear?"

  While speaking, she spread out the palm of her hand and stretched it out in front of them.

  "——Here, this is the right way."

  On the branches of the moon, the brilliance is spreading over the earth, and in the paradise where fireflies are flying all over the sky, the palms of the young people are put together, and they feel embarrassed at the same time.

He saw Lin Xingjie's face floated slightly flushed like drunk; he saw Zhu Qingyue's pupils gleaming, not knowing whether it was reflecting the moonlight in the sky or the light of a flashing firefly, or in her eyes There is already shining like fire.

  He thought, I'm afraid he will never forget this night in his lifetime.
