Invade the World

  Chapter 103 Attempts on Both Sides

  For some reason, he even felt a little scared looking at the short-haired girl who appeared behind the girl with black long straight hair like a ghost...

  Although she is still very literary and pretty, she can't see the emotions in her heart at this moment from the girl's face.

  "——Xiang Yang is afraid of making a fool of yourself in front of you."

   While Xu Xiangyang was still panicking, Lin Xingjie didn't even turn her head, but replied solemnly.

   "He was talking to me just now, telling a bunch of tips on learning, but he didn't dare to speak when he saw you leaning over."

"Is that right?"

  Zhu Qingyue's pupils were full of smiles, and she looked at him.

  Xu Xiangyang did not speak. Of course it is impossible for him to admit it.

  As the saying goes, "If you lose, you don’t lose." The competition between him and Zhu Qingyue has not ended yet, how could he admit that he is not as good as others! What's more, even if the test results are not comparable, it does not mean that you are lagging behind in learning methods...

  However, this is no longer the point of the problem.

   Lin Xingjie’s performance at this moment has to make Xu Xiangyang feel emotional. He once saw a line on TV, saying that "women are born actors"; and Zhang Wuji's his mother said to Zhang Wuji in "Evening Heaven and Swordsmen" that "the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful it is"... these Sure enough, all the words are true!

   "Obviously you are out to play with us, but Xiangyang, you are still thinking about learning. You really lost it to you."

  That's what it said, but Zhu Qingyue's expression didn't seem to be surprised.

   "Of course." Xu Xiangyang replied very seriously, "If you don't study hard, how can you surpass you?"

  "Then please do your best."

  The girl with short hair smiled and covered her lips, and took Lin Xingjie's hand by the way. The two girls started shopping again.

  ……

   Ten minutes later, they came to a place surrounded by grids and ropes.

  A square, spacious place like a swimming pool, filled with little pink balloons instead of water.

  The platform in the center of the "pool" is composed of slides, plastic panels with regular caves of different sizes, rope paths and handrails similar to rock climbing, etc. It is like a small castle entertainment facility.

It can be expected that a group of children are laughing and playing on it, just like a group of monkeys on a rockery covered with ivy; the innocent and naughty children are as lethal as the wild monkeys. .

  If it is placed in other places, it might look very noisy, especially in other public places. Everyone can't help but frown; even the kindergarten teachers who take professional classes find it very hard and make their brains hurt every day.

  But in a place like a newly opened shopping mall, the presence of a group of children just adds a bit of excitement to the noisy place. No one will really care. It can be said that it is more suitable.

  "...It seems that the only place that can be regarded as a place for ‘play’ is here."

  The three of them wandered around and finally came to the corner opposite the undeveloped area on the third floor. Simply put, this is a children's playground.

  There are colorful soft **** and hanging balloons everywhere, like a swaying ocean.

Next to    stood a group of adults with different looks and uniformed staff, all guarding them carefully.

"Uh……"

  Xu Xiangyang's expression became a little weird.

  "Should we really want to go inside, right?"

  They are all high school students, it’s a bit weird to play with a bunch of little kids. Moreover, this is also the occasion of going out shopping with the opposite sex, and people with strong self-esteem are naturally easy to feel awkward.

   Lin Xingjie glanced at him, deliberately amplifying her voice.

   "Of course, you have to play hard if you want to come out to play. Are there any questions?"

  While talking, the girl kept looking at Xu Xiangyang from the corner of her eye, as if she wanted to suggest something to him.

  And Xu Xiangyang just wanted to hug his forehead, and couldn't lift any energy at all.

  ……

  In fact, when Zhu Qingyue went to the bathroom, when Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie were looking for chairs on the roadside to sit down, they accidentally noticed this small amusement park-like place.

  They also talked about it, if there is any place in this supermarket that can be used to play, it is probably here.

  Xu Xiangyang was definitely not willing to go there.

  However, Lin Xingjie mentioned one thing: She said that if they had a lap together, it would be better to have a little embarrassment. Maybe they would be able to get closer to the relationship between the three.

   "Will this approach really work?"

  Xu Xiangyang feels that if there is such a good method, face, self-esteem, etc. can indeed be put aside for the time being.

"You think, Qingyue seems to be the type who has been a good girl since she was a child. She is a girl who has always been expected and has a mature personality. For us... No, in front of everyone, she is easy to do. "The feeling." Lin Xingjie said with a natural tone, "Conversely, if Qingyue can show her childish side, maybe it can break some of her thoughts?"

  Xu Xiangyang knew what Lin Xingjie meant.

  After that conversation, both of them noticed some kind of estrangement between Zhu Qingyue and Zhu Qingyue. Although most of Xingjie's remarks are based on speculation, it does not sound unreasonable.

   However, when Xu Xiangyang heard this kind of words, out of his personal understanding of the girl, another idea soon came to mind:

  ——Lin Xingjie, isn’t she because she wants to play...?

  ……

  Despite being winked repeatedly, Xu Xiangyang still failed to take the initiative to step forward.

  Looking at the little kids cheering in the sea of ​​soft balls, climbing between the stairs and the stairs, and looking at the attentive sight of the group of adults around, it is really frustrating.

  The three of them, young high school students, if they really slip into this kind of children's entertainment facility with unmatched height, they might attract a lot of curious eyes.

  When he thought of this, he couldn’t move his legs.

  Lin Xingjie took a deep breath, grabbed Zhu Qingyue’s arm with his left hand, and Xu Xiangyang’s arm with his right hand, and pulled the two friends who hadn’t reacted to the front together, and the three came directly to the entrance.

   "Be brave, let's go together!"

  She pointed to the top position.

   "Let's gather there again, and then take the slide down again!"

   "Wait, wait a minute!"

Before Xu Xiangyang could speak, he was pushed down by the girl behind him.

  He suddenly fell into the swimming pool full of soft objects and raised his head in confusion.

  There is a smooth wall next to it, and there is no way to climb it, unless you can jump up and climb to the upper edge of the wall; and when the whole person is caught in the soft ball ocean, of course, there is no way to jump...

  He looked around, and found that Lin Xingjie, who was not far away, had grabbed the rope and climbed up very vigorously.

  Looking over, only the place at the end of the slide, which is the end point, is the exit.

  ……

   Then, Xu Xiangyang did not climb, but sneaked out.

  Although there is no official exit, there is still a gap between the fence and the ground, and he crawled out from that place.

  Some children who couldn't climb the stairs cried and cried while being picked up by their parents from the same place.

  In any case, even Xingjie’s proposal, cooperating with this plan is beyond his psychological tolerance.

After Xu Xiangyang got up, he patted the dust on his hands. Then I saw Zhu Qingyue who was sneaking up on the wall and was about to climb up the wall. She acted as if she was breast-feeding, and she looked a little cute...

  The eyes of the two met each other, looked at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time.

  Zhu Qingyue didn't dare to lift her leg up directly like he did, so she could only put her hands on the edge of the wall and stood there hesitating.

  Xu Xiangyang walked over, grabbed the girl's soft and slender palm, and pulled her up.

  ……

  The two of them walked outside the fence.

  Parents are standing nearby, cheering for their children, or worrying loudly reminding children to pay attention to safety;

  And they watched Lin Xingjie climb to the top quietly, watching her uncontrollably raising her arms, cheering and coming down from the slide.

   "Sorry, Xingjie sometimes feels a little impulsive when she does things. This time she owes it to her."

  After all, Lin Xingjie is wearing jeans that are easy to move, so you don’t have to worry about walking by; while Zhu Qingyue is wearing a skirt with a slightly larger range of movements, which can easily reveal the scenery below, which is really not suitable for too strenuous exercise.

"Ok?"

  Zhu Qingyue was taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.

  "You seem to have misunderstood. I actually jumped down by myself just now. Xingjie just pushed behind you. I am a girl, and she will not treat me as rude as you."

  "……"

  Xu Xiangyang felt as if he was being bullied, and suddenly felt a bit wronged.

   "I got a hot head and wanted to play with Xingjie, but I jumped down."

  Zhu Qingyue sighed lightly.

   "So, you have to say that I am the one who is really easy to be impulsive and underconsidered."

   "If Xingjie heard what I said just now, she might feel very moved."

"I hope so." Zhu Qingyue's expression was a little regretful, "Oh, I regret it a little bit. I originally hoped to be able to dress up in front of you two, but it turned out to be better than Xing Jie's gossip. Get closer to each other's relationship."

  Hearing this familiar words, Xu Xiangyang looked at her jade-like cheeks.

  He suddenly realized one thing: how could Zhu Qingyue, who is smart and good at observing words and behaviors, fail to notice the problems he and Lin Xingjie have discovered.

  "...Before you came back, what Xingjie and I had been talking about was actually about you."

"what?"

  Zhu Qingyue was a little surprised.

   "I guessed it was so, but I didn't expect you to say it directly."

  "Didn’t you keep saying that you want to be friends with Xingjie?"

  Xu Xiangyang grabbed the guardrail with both hands, and replied with a serious expression on his face.

  "I just hope you can realize this wish. I want to help you."

   "Hehe, with you, I feel that I will soon have a good relationship with Xingjie and her. This is the importance of breaking into the enemy, right?"

   "...I'm afraid it's not that simple."

  He shook his head.

   "Xingjie always feels that there is a certain distance between you and you."

   Xu Xiangyang paused before continuing.

   "—and, I think so too."

  After saying this, he was a little afraid to even look at Zhu Qingyue's face, afraid to see the expression on her face.

  After a while, Xu Xiangyang heard the girl's faint voice.

   "Yeah, it’s just that now I don’t know how to go further..."

   Hearing that the class leader and classmates did not seem to be angry, Xu Xiangyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said the answer he had already thought of.

   "It doesn't matter, we are still very young, there is still time in the future, the three of us have countless opportunities to try together..." He said, "Slowly, it will be faster."

  Zhu Qingyue did not answer, just smiled and nodded gently.

  ……

  A few minutes later, Lin Xingjie appeared in front of them.

  The black long straight girl who had finished a warm-up exercise had crystal clear sweat on her forehead, her slender eyebrows were raised, and she looked at them both with dissatisfaction.

   "You didn't go?"

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue looked at each other.

   "I'm sorry..."

  He answered honestly.

   "Too courageous!"

   "Also, let me forget, Qingyue is wearing a skirt, how can I accompany you crazy casually?"

"……I see."

   Lin Xingjie showed a thoughtful expression and smiled at Zhu Qingyue.

   "I owe it to you. I should hug you directly, and then the two will slide down the ladder together."

   "No, no more."

   Facing Rapunzel’s whimsical thoughts, the expressions of the class leader and classmates couldn’t help being a little stiff.

  Even if she wants to make the relationship between the two more intimate, she certainly does not want to achieve it in this way.

  *

  Wait until the sun falling from the skylight changes from brilliant and vigorous to lazy and soft. Time passed unconsciously, from noon to afternoon.

   "We are ready to go back."

  The girls who visited the whole mall finally said.

   When Xu Xiangyang heard these words, he finally took a breath.

   "However, before that, we have to go to a store."

"……where?"

   "Because it is a girl-only shop, it is not easy to let you in, so we decided to keep it till the end."

Zhu Qingyue explained with a smile.

  "Please wait a moment."

  ……

  There are several female mannequins in the window at the entrance of this store. The light-colored lights in the store are quite ambiguous, and the people who come and go inside are all female customers carrying bags.

  …… is an underwear shop.

  "Don't you break in and take a peek?"

  The class leader took the long-haired girl's hand and walked inside, and said jokingly to Xu Xiangyang who was waiting at the door.

   "I won't."

  "Who knows, after all, Xiangyang's ability feels very suitable for this kind of thing."

   Lin Xingjie stood behind her and snickered.

  Xu Xiangyang responded stiffly:

   "You two are going to a store exclusively for girls, and I will also go to places that boys like."

"Yes?"

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to the end.

   "It seems that there are motorcycles for sale over there, I want to check it out."

   "Okay, if something happens, you have to'say hello' in time."

   Arm in arm, like a pair of slim sisters Zhu Qingyue and Lin Xingjie, each smiled and waved at him.

  Looking at the two girls walking into the underwear shop side by side, Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment. Instead of looking for a motorcycle shop, he walked towards the area covered by the blue plastic sheet.
