Invade the World Chapter 261

  Chapter 261 "Do you like her better?"

  The wind and rain outside the window, the atmosphere in the room is as dull as sticky objects.

The girl lying on the simple bed was awakened by the strange noise. When she opened it, she was horrified to see the thin shadows cast by the two old men standing beside the bed, like a pair of lightning and thunder. A picture of a hideous ghost.

   "You...what are you going to do?!"

  She woke up suddenly, curled up and stared at them fiercely.

  "We are here to have a good talk with you..."

  The old lady stretched out her hand.

   "No! I'm going to call someone!"

  Chen Hongying immediately jumped out of bed, opened her mouth and wanted to shout. The old lady seemed to want to cover her mouth, but she was forced to shake it off.

   Seeing the girl struggling hard, the old lady showed a strange expression of confusion, and turned to look at her husband behind her.

  The old man did not speak, and raised the wooden stick that had been behind his back and was pinched in his hand, as if he wanted to smash the girl **** the head, knocking her out.

  However, Chen Hongying's reaction speed was faster than they thought. She put on her shoes and rushed towards the door.

  "Don't...you don't run away...we just want to talk to you..."

  The old lady tried to reach out to stop, but was pushed away by the opponent.

   "Die me!"

  After Chen Hongying rushed out the door, she was greeted by the overwhelming rain.

The ground of the roof is full of rainwater, and countless tiny waves spread on the water surface. The originally transparent rainwater is like the fine lines of a dense tailor. When they "crack" down the eaves and gather together, they appear as soup. Like white.

  The slippers that crossed the ground stepped on the water splashes, and the girl was soaked all over. Regardless, she rushed to the door of the rooftop and kicked straight on the iron door.

  Just run out of here—get out of this place.

  Chen Hongying even felt a little regretful. She actually doesn't need to come to this place again, it's nothing more than a clean...

  Fortunately, I broke free.

  Now she is already thinking about how to retaliate when she comes back. She is not a persimmon for bullying.

  The rumbling thunder in the sky sounded again, and this time it was very close, as if something exploded in the fall of thunder. Accompanied by a loud noise in her ears, the feeling of vibration almost directly spread to the bottom of her heart.

  Chen Hongying was taken aback, and turned her head subconsciously, but found that there was no one behind him. The old couple had just come out of the room, and they were ready to catch up with embarrassment.

  She breathed a sigh of relief.

   But at this moment, because of an accident—because the turning posture was too fast, the girl's ankle twisted, and there was a sudden uncontrollable pain, and her body fell diagonally.

  The girl's body slid directly down the wet stairs.

"boom!"

  The dim light in the corridor shrouded slightly, illuminating the concrete floor with wet marks and footprints everywhere.

  The head collided heavily with the solid bottom step.

  The muffled noise from the inside of the skull, the brain inside seemed to have turned into soft bean curd dregs.

  She didn't even make a scream in time. No pain, no fear, the girl's young life was frozen in that moment of consternation, and then fell into the endless darkness...

Xu Xiangyang opened his eyes abruptly, as if buried his face in the water for a long time and then lifted it up. He raised his neck and panted heavily. He almost fell backwards. Fortunately, he was supported by Lin Xingjie, who was prepared. .

"How about it?"

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer immediately, after taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down.

  Retrospecting the death experience of others is undoubtedly an unbearable thing, no matter how many times you come back, it is unacceptable.

   "...It was an accident, but—"

  He narrated what he had just seen to the two girls truthfully.

"I see."

The squad leader nodded.

   "Although the two of them did not personally kill, but Chen Xuejie really went to a dead end under the pressure of these two people, and needs to take responsibility."

  When Zhu Qingyue reached the conclusion, Xu Xiangyang watched Lin Xingjie clenched his fists on the side, his eyes drooping.

   "Xing Jie..."

   he asked worriedly.

The behavior of the old couple may be a piece of cake for them, and it does not seem to have really changed her life, but in those gloomy years, they were the only adults who helped her-Yixingjie's Character, this alone is enough to make her grateful.

  However, they were actually the culprit responsible for the death of a young girl. After that, they even threw her body into the water tank, trying to cover up this fact...

  Considering Xingjie's sympathy with that Senior Sister Chen, she can imagine her inner resentment at the moment.

  Thinking of this, Xu Xiangyang proactively stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's fist to show comfort.

  The Rapunzel's body trembled slightly, and she turned her face to look at him.

  After a while, the expressionless tight face finally eased, and the slightly gloomy eyes became bright again. Lin Xingjie whispered to him:

   "I'm fine, don't worry."

"real?"

"real."

"……That's good."

  Xu Xiangyang released his palm.

   "It seems that you have made a decision."

  Zhu Qingyue put down her hands in her arms, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

"Yes."

   Lin Xingjie breathed out suddenly.

  She walked to the center of the rooftop, raised her hands, and stretched out a big laziness in the face of the golden sun shot from the edge of the sky, as if watching the wind.

  The wind blew across the roof where they were, and the white clouds in the sky floated, Xu Xiangyang stared at the girl not far in front, wrapped in a white shirt with curvy waist and chest...

  Then the squad leader sneaked a kick in the heel.

"rogue."

  Zhu Qingyue whispered.

   "That's my girlfriend!"

  Xu Xiangyang glared at her in turn and retorted in a low voice.

   "So is it time to peek at someone?"

  He had nothing to say now, and he was silent for a while before repliing:

   "Xingjie is very strong and does not need my comfort."

"Humph."

  The squad leader disdains his lips.

  After Lin Xingjie stretched her body, she exhaled all the depression in her heart in one breath, and even the burden on her shoulders was reduced. Her expression finally became a little more relaxed.

   "Let's go down."

   She said to her two friends.

  The trio went downstairs and found that the door of the old couple's house happened to be open to the outside, and there was quite a bit of warm talk and laughter inside, and the atmosphere was different from the past.

   "It looks like there are guests."

  Xu Xiangyang exchanged glances with the two girls, walked to the door and looked in.

One person in the room is Teacher Zhao sitting on the sofa. This retired old teacher with a serious face is rarely smiling at this time; the other is a young man with a strange appearance, who looks a few years older than Xu Xiangyang. Wearing casual clothes, he is also pushing a suitcase.

  Looking at the old man's benevolent face, Xu Xiangyang was a little dazed. He recalled the gloomy and terrifying expression of Teacher Zhao in the psychic memories and the way he held up the stick. For a while, he felt indescribable.

  Is this look pretended?

  Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it's because everyone has a different face, which will show up to different people.

   Teacher Zhao looked a little surprised when he saw the high school students standing at the door, but he could still see his happiness. He waved to the three of them and greeted them enthusiastically.

   "Are you here? Come in and sit down. Today, my son is back."

  The young man standing in the middle of the living room turned his head and looked at them curiously.

  Lin Xingjie pushed him from behind, and walked into the living room first.

  Xu Xiangyang was surprised at her reaction, but of course he would choose to obey his girlfriend at this time, so he also stepped forward. Zhu Qingyue followed them behind with a smile on his face.

  "Hello, my name is Zhao Le, and I just came back from university."

  The young people greeted them in a friendly manner.

"You are college students?"

   "Yes. I am studying at Tianhai University."

"Oh!"

  Xu Xiangyang was a little surprised.

   "Then... Le brother, you have a good grade. Tianhai University is also our goal."

   "Ahaha, no no no."

  He was talking about Qianci, but seeing his confident expression gave Xu Xiangyang a subtle sense of familiarity——

  That is what he, Zhu Qingyue, and even Guo Zixuan and others will feel, the type that has been a top student since childhood.

  The father who wanted to come to him is a school teacher after all, and he seems to be the kind of parent who has strict requirements on grades. It is not surprising that his child can be admitted to a good university.

   Teacher Zhao himself did not show mercy to his son, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Le, you don't have much to pretend in front of these juniors. I tell you, these two came out of high school with you. One is the first in grade and the other is the second in grade. , And the ranking has been very stable after several big exams, much better than you did at that time."

   "That's it."

  The other party scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

  After introducing themselves, a few young people originally planned to sit down and have a rest and chat, but after this, the living room suddenly seemed a bit crowded, and the room itself was not big enough to accommodate too many guests.

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhao Le both stood consciously and didn't plan to grab seats with the girls. Originally, Teacher Zhao wanted to stand up, but was immediately stopped.

   "By the way, I will take him out by the way."

  Zhao Le patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder, and after obtaining the consent of the boys, he turned his head and said with a smile.

   "I haven't come back for a while, I want to walk around in this building to see if there is any change."

   "How can this broken building get better..."

  The old man shook his head, but still did not stop.

   "It looks like you two should have a common topic, go go."

   "Yes, yes, some things are not easy for elders and girls to hear."

  While joking, Zhao Le shouted "I'll go out!" to the old lady in the kitchen, and then walked out of the room.

  Xu Xiangyang beckoned to the two girls casually, put his hands in his trouser pockets, followed him and left.

   "I heard my dad say, your name is Xu Xiangyang?"

   "Hmm. Just call me Xiangyang."

"Row."

  Male high school students and male college students slowly walked side by side on the promenade. The two did not think of a good topic for a while, so no one spoke.

  Occasionally, they will pass by tenants in a hurry.

  The sun is shining today, and it is noon, the tube building is quite lively, lying on the railing and looking down, you can see people shuttle back and forth near the entrance of the small patio.

  Downstairs, the bicycle's crisp bells rang from time to time, the smoke from the fire and cooking wafted out of the windows, and the black clothes hanging on the ropes fluttered in the wind, and there was smoke and fire in the world.

   "This place is as lively as ever."

  Zhao Le said this in a nostalgic tone.

   "Brother Le, you grew up here since you were young?"

   "Yes, almost...Anyway, our family lived here before my parents and they retired, and it's been twenty years after all."

  The other party grabbed his hair and said with a little embarrassment:

   "I'm sorry, I dragged you out, but I don't know where to take you to play. As my dad said, this is a broken building, there is nothing to go shopping."

  ——Or, let me take you to see the body of the girl who was killed by your parents on the rooftop floating in the water tank?

  Xu Xiangyang wandered about this thought in his heart, but said "It's okay" on his lips.

   "By the way, I am curious about something."

  The young man seemed to finally think of the topic, and started winking at him.

   "What is your relationship with those two girls? Don't tell me I'm just a classmate?"

   "If you are just classmates, it is impossible to come out to play together during the holidays."

   "Haha, you are quite honest. Is that a good friend?"

   "Yes. But one of them is already my girlfriend."

   "...you really don't shy away from it."

   "It's okay. My family and the teachers and classmates in the school basically know everything."

  Xu Xiangyang replied lightly, but Zhao Le choked. He muttered with a confused look, "Is high school no longer catching puppies?" Then he asked curiously:

  "Which is your girlfriend?"

   "The one with long hair."

   "Hey. So you like her better than the one with short hair?"

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback suddenly.

--it's wired.

  Obviously it is a question that the other party throws out casually, he should be able to answer easily, but in a moment...

  Somehow, he just can't open his mouth.

  It's so strange, he thought, why can't you tell?

  I will choose to be with Lin Xingjie, isn't this the answer?

  He recalled the lingering kiss with his lover yesterday, as if the warmth of his lips still remained on his mouth;

  He remembered that when he hugged each other on the sofa, each other's breath and heartbeat were intertwined; remembering the ambiguous touch that made people blush and heartbeat, it seemed that there were only two of them left in the world.

He even remembered something more distant: the first encounter and acquaintance of two people, mutual dependence, and walking hand in hand; adventure together, wandering in the commercial street together, living under the same roof, cooking together, watching discs together, going to school together , After becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend...

  Some happened after they met Qingyue, and some happened before.

  He also thought of the confession under the moon.

  Every moment of being with her, Xu Xiangyang is vivid and within reach. As long as the thought is turned, it will clearly appear before his eyes.

  The girl's words, demeanor, and her smiles all make him dream.

  The thing that must be said is that his affection for Lin Xingjie is not only at the level of "like", but love, and love is too hard to extricate himself from it.

but……

  "I like her more than her"——

  Only this sentence, he seemed to have glue stuck to his mouth, and he couldn't say it anyway.
