Invade the World Chapter 293

  Chapter 293 Patient

   "We... just came in like this?"

  Lin Xingjie whispered in his ear. When she turned her head, the faint hair brushed his auricle, making him feel a little itchy, and finally resisted the urge to sneeze.

  Xu Xiangyang can understand the emotions surging in the girl's heart at this moment: tension, dissatisfaction, and a little bit of confusion.

  Because he has the same feeling.

  After Zhu Qingyue's mother uttered those words, the door of the room opened faintly towards the corridor. The middle-aged woman walked in front, and the two of them took off their shoes, put on slippers, and stepped into the room at the greeting of the monitor.

  The woman walked up the stairs on her own, not knowing if she went back to the bedroom, but she didn't mean to entertain them at all.

  As a result, her daughter still has to take care of the guests. After Qingyue asked them to sit down and said they were going to make tea, "Papa Pada" ran away. Now only Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie are left sitting side by side on the sofa in a daze.

  On the opposite side of the sofa is a TV. On the snow-white screen glowing slightly, the host is speaking with the microphone, but no sound comes out.

  This TV is even the only light source in the entire room, and everything else is completely submerged in the misty darkness like smoke.

   "If this is not Qingyue's home, I might even think that the person deliberately brought us in, intending to commit a crime."

   Lin Xingjie said softly.

   "Don't be like this. It's too rude, the other party is our elder."

  Although that person's performance is a bit weird...

   "Auntie is just a little impolite."

   "Are you polite to say that?"

   Lin Xingjie vomited.

  "It's probably been a long time since I've been a guest." Xu Xiangyang shrugged, "Patients generally don't have a good temper, not to mention that my aunt has been troubled by illness for so many years..."

   "You make sense anyway."

  The girl sighed and said again.

   "Forget it, I don't think about it much. Although she is a little weird, isn't Qingyue also a weird girl? Others don't know her nature, but we know it very well."

   "You say so..."

  You have to say that, I really can't refute it.

   Indeed, the squad leader is the strangest girl he has ever seen in his life. Although she is cute and he likes her very much, the two do not conflict.

  "If a person grows up in this environment, he will definitely become weird."

  Xu Xiangyang looked around, except for a small area around the energized TV, this home is like a theater that is empty because there is no performance time.

  At this time, the thick curtain has not been opened, and the "stage" is even more empty.

  A closer look can distinguish some outlines, but most of the landscape is still fascinating. The darkness is like mist from dry ice, making the room full of mystery.

  Zhu Qingyue grew up in such an environment. She can walk into the light world and live like a normal person; she is also fully accustomed to the darkness.

  None of the squad leaders concealed these things from themselves; but just hearing about her situation and witnessing her situation are completely different things.

   "Why don't I turn on a light?"

  Xu Xiangyang asked the opinions of people around him.

   "Okay. But there should be a reason why they don't turn on the lights?"

   Lin Xingjie stroked her smooth chin, thoughtfully.

   "Look, they can live in this kind of place forever. They definitely don't lack money, so they won't turn on the lights just to save electricity bills."

   "...makes sense."

   Just got up from the sofa, Xu Xiangyang, who was about to fumble for nearby electric lights, stopped hesitatingly after hearing these words.

  "May be related to the aunt's illness? For example, it can't be exposed to light."

   "You speak like a vampire..."

  The two had not had time to talk a few words.

"boom."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

  There was a muffled noise from the place where the shoe cabinet was placed, and the door that was originally closed was closed.

  No one went to pull the door, it was probably closed by the wind blowing from the corridor. After all, the entire wall was pierced through, and the night breeze poured in backwards.

   "...There must be security guards patrolling this place, they should soon find the traces of the fight between the two of you."

  Xu Xiangyang returned to his mind and said.

   "Maybe there are official people who will rush over." Lin Xingjie added, "If they have the ability to detect power fluctuations in the distance."

  "Please have tea."

  "Papa Papa" sounded from far to near, Zhu Qingyue walked up to them holding a plate, and put three cups of steaming tea on the table

  Xu Xiangyang picked up the cup, but did not drink immediately.

   "I'm sorry, I have kept you two waiting for a long time. It has been a long time since no one has been a guest. I found these two cups for a long time, so I have to take time to wash them."

"It's ok."

While Zhu Qingyue was talking, Xu Xiangyang's eyes fell on the girl's feet unconsciously.

  Gray bunny-head slippers, with small ankles wrapped in white cotton socks appearing behind them, they look very much in love.

  This shoe is very familiar. Xu Xiangyang remembered that he bought it for the squad leader the night before summer vacation.

  On that day, he dragged Qingyue out of the house, who was not planning to travel with them, and the two went to see a movie together.

  Because the eldest lady went out before changing her shoes, the original pair of slippers was naturally soiled, so he ran all night and bought her a pair of rabbit slippers as compensation.

  The girl noticed his gaze. After looking down, he said with a smile.

  "This is a gift from Xiangyang you gave me. Do you remember?"

  "You have been wearing it all the time."

   "Of course. Actually, I planned to put these shoes in a box and keep them as a baby. After all, it was the first time you gave me a gift."

  Zhu Qingyue sat down on the sofa opposite them, dragged her chin with one hand, and said with a smile.

   "But then I think about it, shoes are just for wearing, it seems strange to put them on the shelf, and..."

  The eyes of the girl with short hair became clearer in the dim vision. She looked at him quietly, as if he was the only one in her world. The bright light in the deep pupils made Xu Xiangyang's heart beat wildly.

  Darkness made the room suddenly narrow, and the wetness between Miss Qingyue's lips and teeth made it hard to remove her eyes.

   "If I wear these shoes dirty, can I ask you to buy another pair for me, right?"

Before Mr.   's squad leader's voice, Xu Xiangyang had no time to react, and there was a loud tongue next to him.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at her subconsciously and found that Lin Xingjie was lowering his head, sipping hot tea in small sips. The long hair obscured her expression.

  He thinks she must be regretting.

  Xingjie subconsciously appeared jealous as before, but soon realized that the two were no longer lovers, so she didn't know how to finish it.

  Xu Xiangyang also felt that it was a bit sad that he could guess the thoughts of his ex-girlfriend like this.

  Zhu Qingyue did not speak any more, she cocked one leg, holding the hot tea, just smiling.

After the three of them fell into a short silence, the squad leader clapped his hands as if suddenly remembering something.

   "By the way, I almost forgot! Because I was always dark when I was at home, I was used to it, so..."

   "Why don't you turn on the lights?"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help asking.

   "There is no special reason."

  The squad leader tilted his head, as if he was surprised why he had such a question

   "The light is turned off even after it is turned on. This is a bit big. I easily forget to turn it off by myself, so I just didn't turn it on."

  Throwing down this sentence, she ran away again "pattered".

  The chandelier hanging from the top of the head, and the incandescent tube on the stairs not far away, all began to flicker, and the living room, kitchen, and stairs quickly became bright.

   "This is a sight I haven't seen in years, the house has become so bright."

  Sir squad leader walked back lightly, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"thank you all……"

   "Boom boom boom."

   Before she could sit down, there was a knock on the door.

someone is coming.

  The three of them looked at each other for a while, then stood up at the same time and came to the door.

  A man in a security uniform stands in front of the door, holding a flashlight in his hand.

  He looked around at the miserable look on the corridor, completely unable to see the original magnificence, as if he had been rolled back and forth by several road rollers several times.

  Is it under renovation? But the company didn't tell him, and it doesn't seem to be maintenance, it's more like being bombed.

   "Here...what the **** is going on?"

   "I don't know." Zhu Qingyue said without flushing, "We were resting just now."

"Yes."

  He took the beam of the flashlight and illuminated the distance in the corridor, his expression mixed with astonishment and suspicion.

   "When I was just walking downstairs, I heard that... weird sound, so I wanted to come up and have a look, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Haven't you seen anyone else?"

"right."

   "Call the police, Uncle Security."

  None of them were the fledgling little hairs when they first awakened their superpowers, and they all acted calmly when lying in front of others.

  The security guard left with a look of confusion.

  In this case, the police must be called, and the response to the relevant departments is also a certainty, which means that the squad leader's home may be included in the surveillance area.

  "Are you and aunt okay?"

After returning to the room, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help asking.

"Ok?"

  Zhu Qingyue quickly reacted, and she replied with a smile.

   "What are you doing, Mommy... Mommy is just a little weird. Don't call my house the same as Longtan Tiger's Den."

   "Xu Xiangyang, don't you believe your feelings? If there is a problem here, will you not feel it?"

  He fell silent. And when he noticed Xingjie's inquiring eyes, he could only shook his head.

  The night was getting darker, and the three of them sat on the sofa chatting without a word. The room was brightly lit, but it was still quiet and empty.

  If it is placed elsewhere, they may clamor for watching the discs, at least to find some interesting TV shows; but on this special night, neither Xu Xiangyang nor Lin Xingjie was in this mood.

  Zhu Qingyue was enthusiastic. But her interest is obviously not on TV, but staring at the two people in front of her without blinking, looking at him and her for a while, both of them feel uncomfortable watching.

  This feeling seems to be a step back in time—Zhu Qingyue and the two of them just met, and the girl's unconcealed interest and enthusiasm made them feel overwhelmed during the time when Yimen wanted to make friends with them.

  Especially Lin Xingjie.

   You must know that the two of them had just fought a fierce fight. At that time, both sides undoubtedly went all out, even if they knew that it would kill them, they didn't mean to stop.

  Why did the war stop for a while, and the opponent's attitude took a 180-degree turn?

  Don't think that after a fight, the two people will settle down and the dust will settle, right?

   Lin Xingjie thinks she is not that big belly, even a chic woman, she will not be so cool that she can solve the problem by fighting. This is not a TV series. If her boyfriend is robbed, she can still laugh and hate her love enemy.

  But the other party is a woman with abnormal brains, maybe that's what she thinks.

  When she thinks of this, she feels very upset.

  But this is in someone else's house after all, and Qingyue's mother is still there. Of course it is impossible for Lin Xingjie to continue doing it. The purpose of entering the door has been achieved, and it is impossible to continue to tear down other people's houses.

  And...even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew it in her heart. After the fight, part of the anger and anger accumulated in his heart was indeed vented.

  At least, she won't be upset by seeing that grinning face like she did before, but now she is at best watching her with cold eyes and can't love it.

  If the other party wants to continue sticking to Xu Xiangyang...it seems to have nothing to do with the current self, right?

  At this moment, a violent cough suddenly came upstairs, which caught their attention; followed by heavy breathing, like the sound of sputum in the throat.

  Young people calm down.

  Zhu Qingyue sat on the sofa without moving, her expression astringent, her eyes drooping, and she looked a little uneasy.

  The sound did not stop there.

  Unspeakable feeling.

  The sound was not harsh, not loud.

  I don't know if it's because this home is too spacious, so even the breathing sound of a person lying in bed seems so contagious, echoing in the empty corridors and outside the room.

  There is a long distance between the living room and Qingyue's mother's room, which makes the breathing sound even more distant; but anyone who hears it still feels uncomfortable, and even the air becomes dull.

"This is……"

   Lin Xingjie hesitated to speak.

  "This is a symptom of shortness of breath. You need to take medicine in time." Her tone was calm, "Mom's old problems will happen at night."

  This...Is the squad leader really able to rest well?

  It is hard for Xu Xiangyang to imagine how many times she would be awakened in one night living under the same roof with such a patient.

  The so-called “no filial son before the bed for a long time” is not unreasonable, but Zhu Qingyue started as a primary school student and insisted on taking care of her mother until now, every night is like this.

   "I will prepare medicine."

  Zhu Qingyue got up and left.
