Invade the World

  Chapter 113 An Ordinary Morning

   "Actually, it's not that I can't understand."

   Seeing that Lin Xingjie had packed his backpack, he simply sat down on the sofa, planning to wait for the early morning time to pass, Xu Xiangyang said solemnly:

   "For the previous you, this is one of the few occasions where you can stand out in front of everyone and will be praised by the teacher instead of being called to the office to criticize. No wonder you will never forget it."

   "You, what are you talking about?" Lin Xingjie frowned and replied uncomfortably, "I don't care about this kind of thing at all..."

   "It's great."

  Xu Xiangyang ignored her weak retort, and said with a smile:

  "Because I am a transfer student, I did not participate in the last sports meeting. This time I have the opportunity to see Xingjie's heroic figure on the field, and finally I can make up for my regret... No, I have no regrets in this life!"

   Lin Xingjie was so embarrassed that her entire face was flushed.

  She was about to argue, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something.

   "By the way, this sports meeting... can actually be regarded as the two of us going out to play together?"

   "Hmm." Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, nodded slightly, "It can be counted, it can be counted."

  The sports meet is a group activity. Basically everyone will participate in it. It’s not really just for fun like a spring outing in elementary school. The process is actually quite busy.

  Once the game starts, the players on their turn need to prepare in advance. Sometimes, if there is no arrangement or some accident, they may have to stand on the edge of the track for half an hour;

  The rest of the classmates who have not had a rest in the competition venue can not be idle either, they have to help write the announcement of the broadcasting station, and they have to go to the side of the track to cheer for the players of the class and send water;

After the    and waiting for the sports meeting, help with cleaning and the like.

In that kind of enthusiastic atmosphere, everyone was busy chanting cheering for the students. They shouted until their throats became hoarse, and the drummers couldn’t even raise their arms; or they tried their best on the field and were tired to vomit. It's hard to say how easy it will be.

However, if you really just want to rest and don’t want to mix in it, just find a place where no one is going to rest, wander around or sunbathe. As long as it’s not your turn to sign up for the competition, no one will take care of you; It is true, and it can be fooled by excuses such as physical discomfort.

  In short, whether a thing can make people feel happy or relaxed, and how to do it can be regarded as "play", the answer varies from person to person.

  At least in Xu Xiangyang's eyes, as long as it is not staying in the classroom or studying at home, it can be counted as a part of rest and play.

   "Then you are right. Of course I will feel happy, after all, it is rare to have a chance to hang out with you."

  The girl sighed, showing a pitiful expression.

   "Study so hard every day, there is no time to rest, it is rare to go out and relax, even if it is for me to participate in a bunch of running competitions, it is worth it until I vomit blood..."

   "...what are you talking about! Obviously just went out together last week!"

  This time it was Xu Xiangyang's turn to feel embarrassed.

   "At that time, there were three people. I was talking about two people."

   "Well, then it's not counted this time. We are going to the sports meeting with so many students!"

   "Yes, Xiangyang, you are right."

  Lin Xingjie shook his finger at him and smiled and gave a lore.

   "So, be prepared for next time."

  ...

Today, they have to spend the whole day in the stadium, so they really need to pack their backpacks in advance, and bring everything they will bring, including lunch, water and emergency medicine. Although the school has prepared them, Xu Xiangyang also helped Zhu Qingyue. I have been busy moving related items, but I always have to be prepared when I go out.

  By the way, he also wanted to check Lin Xingjie's backpack, for fear that she had forgotten something when she went out too quickly, but was resolutely stopped by Lin Xingjie's cheeks.

  It wasn't until she heard that there were girls' private clothes inside, which were replaced after sweating, Xu Xiangyang didn't give up the idea.

  After that, Xu Xiangyang, as always, cooked a simple breakfast for the two of them. Sometimes it was porridge, flatbread and fried dough sticks, and sometimes bread and milk from the nearby supermarket, accompanied by nutritious fried eggs.

  When he was almost finished eating, Lin Xingjie suddenly put down his chopsticks in a panic, and shouted, pointing to the clock hanging on the wall.

  "Wait a minute, Xiangyang, is this clock in our house slow?"

"No..." Xu Xiangyang seriously recalled, "Oh, maybe it's a bit. This kind of watch will take a long time, and the pointer will really slow down, but the error will not be too big. Don't worry, I usually use it. It must be too late to calculate the time."

  As a good student of self-discipline, every time Xu Xiangyang goes to school, he usually has at least one hour of free time before class.

  "But today is different. I'm going to the gymnasium! Didn't the teacher say that a car was prepared at the school gate and he wanted to send everyone there together?"

  Looking at Lin Xingjie with a nervous face, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but laughed, took out a piece of paper, and gently wiped off the rice grains on the corners of her mouth that she had hurriedly put down the bowl, while comforting.

   "Because of this, you can relax more than usual. The appointment is an appointment, but someone will be late, so the teacher will set aside longer than usual time, it doesn't matter."

"no."

   Lin Xingjie put down his chopsticks, grabbed the napkin in his hand, wiped his lips indiscriminately, stood up and said.

  "What if I was left behind?"

  Xu Xiangyang still sat on the chair steadily, sipping the porridge from the bowl, and replied in a leisurely manner:

   "Notify the teacher, let's go there by ourselves."

   "I don't want it!" The long-haired girl snorted softly, ran to the edge of the sofa and picked up her schoolbag and was about to walk towards the door, "You are still here alone, I will leave you down!"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but sighed and reminded loudly.

   "Wait, you just had a good meal, don't run so fast!"

   "Then you hurry up!"

  Lin Xingjie pushed open the door without looking back, seemingly not ready to listen to him.

When Xu Xiangyang saw this, he could only shook his head helplessly, "snored" and licked the porridge in the bowl, picked up the bowls and chopsticks of two people on the table and put them in the sink.

  Then he went around the whole house to check the gas, water and lights, until the girl at the door urged loudly again before he picked up his schoolbag and prepared to leave.

  This girl who lives under the same roof with him is a little carefree, and she is very active, so this is not the first time that such a daily scene has appeared.

  Sometimes, when Xu Xiangyang reflects afterwards, he also feels that he is a bit too much like a verbose parent...

  However, there is no alternative.

  At the very beginning, it was Xingjie who hoped to get her own help to get her life on track.

  In the beginning, this relationship mainly refers to learning; after two people live together, this change gradually penetrates into every corner of daily life, and it naturally becomes like this.

Lin Xingjie’s mother didn’t care enough for her, which had a bad influence. The reason why the girl would live in his home was mainly from her; and Xu Xiangyang’s guardian could not take care of them like ordinary parents. Minor-Sister Lian is not that kind of personality, let alone that time.

  However, someone has to play such a role in life. The responsibility finally fell to him logically.

Of course, Xiangguixiang, the painstaking persuasion of one party and the impatient response of one party sometimes sound exactly the same as the dialogue that occurs between parents and children, but their relationship is still stable and maintained at "equal friends". There will be contradictions.

  For Xu Xiangyang, the most important reason for insisting on this approach is that Xingjie doesn’t really hate her. If the girl really shows disgust, things will naturally become different.

  "The two are walking on the same road"...This is the initial agreement between him and her. They will not talk about each other like a mantra, but they will silently bury these words in their hearts.

   "You hurry up!"

  Although she said something like "I want to leave you behind", Lin Xingjie still waited at the door honestly. The girl's face was anxious, but her feet didn't move a bit.

   "Alright, alright, don't worry."

  Xu Xiangyang walked out of the room door in three steps and two steps, and came to her.

  He turned around, took out the key from his pocket, locked the door forward, and took a last look at the scene inside the door that was about to close.

A shoe cabinet with all kinds of shoes scattered around, a shiny dining table and two chairs facing each other on the surface, a certificate and a photo on the wall, a football on the floor, a glass window facing the door and a desk, on the table Potted plants...

  Here is his home.

  The young man carries his schoolbag every day, and leaves from here when the sky is still dark and the alleys are still shrouded in haze; every day before the night is about to engulf the earth, he walks back here in the afterglow of the sunset.

  This small place seems to have never changed. It only gained a bit of popularity not long ago. It is no longer a lone figure leaving and returning alone.

  Although he moved to this city during the winter and spring season, which is only half a year ago, Xu Xiangyang still has a deep sense of dependence on this place, as if...

  It seems that everything should be like this from the beginning.

  This is his home, the home of his siblings and his brother, and it is still her home.

   Lifting his head, he can see the black roof tiles that are stacked on top of each other and stained with traces of moss. The not-so-wide eaves shelter the three people from wind and rain, saying goodbye to the dying spring of Fangfei, and the midsummer season is about to usher in.

Xu Xiangyang tightened the shoulder straps of his schoolbag. Together with Lin Xingjie, he and the neighbor who happened to be out of the house pour water before they met. Under the curious gaze of the alley residents and occasional pedestrians passing by, he once again embarked on the way to the school. .

  This is Xu Xiangyang’s morning, the beginning of his ordinary day.

  *

  When the two rushed to the school gate, the school hired several buses to take the students to class, and they had already stopped by the road at this time.

  Young people approached from different intersections in twos and threes, talking and laughing one by one, and they seemed to be very relaxed.

   Just like Xu Xiangyang said, everyone would never come so early, and in some cars even the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie got on the bus.

At the moment, the students who were already in the car all looked excited. The people in the front row squatted on the back chairs, talking loudly and chatting; others leaned against the window and watched the streetscape; while holding schoolbags Those who are ready to sleep can only pretend to sleep with their eyes closed.

  The location is not arranged, first-come, first-served, so the two of them naturally sat side by side.

Although according to the default rules, in this case, boys and boys, girls and girls sit, so as to facilitate the chat between friends, anyway, if it is really forced to be arranged as a group of boys and girls like a group activity in elementary school, It will make people feel embarrassed.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie are obviously exceptions.

  Up to now, no one would feel that there is something wrong with the sight of "the two of them sitting side by side", which is rare in other classes...

  Half an hour after the two of them were seated, the car was almost noisy. A few of the more excited male classmates even stood in the narrow aisle with the encouragement of their friends to perform their unique skills for everyone.

  Even classmates who hated the usually strict, grumpy and grumpy class teacher began to hope that she could come here soon, after all, some people were really over-excited.

  Then, Teacher Liu arrived in time as expected. When she came, the voice in the car suddenly became quieter.

  However, even this class teacher who is so famous in his grade will not pour cold water on the students who are on their heads. At most, they will remind you "Small down!" when the voice becomes louder unconsciously.

  ...

  When they came, the sky was still a little bit bright; when the people in a few cars were almost there, the glass windows had begun to reflect the dazzling light, and the curtains had to be dropped.

   Among those who are late, the most conspicuous one is Wang Yue in their class. Delivered by a private car, he was caught by a middle-aged woman as soon as he left the house, nagging and talking a lot; it was not until Teacher Liu started to greet his parents that Wang Yue found a chance to throw away his mother's hand. , Ran into the car in embarrassment.

  This scene was naturally seen by everyone, and it immediately drew a burst of laughter from the students in the car.

After    finally arrived, there was a small commotion at the door:

  It turned out that it was Zhu Qingyue who led the cadres of several grades, carrying boxes up to distribute mineral water to everyone.

  The smiling girl stepped into the vehicle, handed each student a bottle of water, and soon came to the two friends.

  For a time, the entire carriage quieted down. Whether it was the class one or the classmates from class five behind her, everyone unconsciously turned their attention to this side.

  Due to the frequent exchanges between the three people during this period, both classes basically knew that they had a close relationship. In this case, Zhu Qingyue took the initiative to walk in front of them...

  The class leader looked at Xu Xiangyang's face, Zhu's lips opened slightly.

  "Do you want to work hard today?"

   "Uh, good..."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little overwhelmed, mainly in front of everyone, being cheered by other classes—

  "—However, even if it is a friend, I still have to say: We will not lose to you. This time the best class will be our second and fifth class."

  The girl's attitude was downright and generous, and the people in Class 5 behind them couldn't help but clap their hands when they heard the applause. Soon the whole carriage became lively.

   "Then, I'll go first."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and waved to the two of them, and got out of the car amidst the noise.

  Xu Xiangyang stared at the girl’s back, thinking in his heart:

"…awesome."

  This ability to handle interpersonal communication is something he can't do anyway, so Xu Xiangyang admires it in his heart.

  If he could meet Qingyue earlier and learn a few hands from her, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to make friends.

   Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at her beside him.

  The wind poured in from the side of the car window, blowing her dark and long hair. Lin Xingjie put her hand on the edge of the window, and a snow-white lotus arm was exposed at the cuff of the shirt she lifted up, and her palm supported her lower jaw. The girl's head was slightly tilted, and she was quietly watching the distant view of the gray street.

  The sun illuminates half of her beautiful cheeks.

  ... However, this is not bad now. he thinks.
