Invade the World

   Chapter 125

  When the sun setting sun disappeared on the edge of the city, the afterglow of the evening was replaced by the night covering the entire land. Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie finally returned from the school to the alley where they were home.

   Lin Xingjie shut herself into the bedroom.

  He threw his schoolbag under his feet and sat down on the sofa in the living room, supporting his forehead with some fatigue.

   Very rare, Xu Xiangyang did not take out his homework or textbooks as soon as he went home, leaned over to the desk to study by the window, or did housework, but simply sat there in a daze.

  He quietly looked at the dark TV screen in front of him, but his thoughts had already gone beyond the clouds.

  There is only one reason for him to lose his mind, and that is the problem that he has to face under the pressure of the squad leader:

  ——"Do I really like Lin Xingjie?"

  If you really like her, according to the goals he has set for himself, shouldn’t he keep it in my heart, don’t say it, let anyone know, continue to work hard to be a good student and live the life of the past?

  In fact, if this person is a "other girl", if he has a crush on someone else, Xu Xiangyang will definitely do it.

  But if it’s Xingjie...

  Xu Xiangyang could not help pursing his lips.

  No, it won’t work that way.

He and Lin Xingjie live under the same roof. They are best friends. They usually stay together at school, after school, eat and study, and always talk and talk together... How can I make it clear after knowing the emotion in my heart? Treat her as usual?

   "As if nothing happened?"

  If he were to really make such a choice, Qingyue probably would not let him go, even he would not be satisfied.

  It’s not that friends must face each other unreservedly, but if they can’t even express their true emotions, it would be too pitiful, both for him and for her.

  That... Where's Xingjie?

  The black hair concealed the pure and delicate face, and it appeared in his mind.

  He couldn't help but look at the tightly closed door of the room next to the bathroom.

  The girl is behind that door.

  ——Does she like me?

  Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth, but made no sound.

   But he seems to already know the answer.

  He couldn't help but sighed.

  Yes...Even if you don’t like it, if Xingjie doesn’t have the slightest affection for herself, it’s impossible to agree to live under the same roof with boys and behave so intimately.

  I should have understood.

  Xingjie is she aware of this?

  If he said this to her frankly, it would be a confession. Will Xingjie agree or refuse?

  She may feel that the relationship with herself has not reached that level, or she refuses because of other ideas... But what if she agrees? If you confirm that you like each other, should you become a couple? After that, in which direction will the relationship between the two develop?

  The more Xu Xiangyang thought, the more upset he became. Numerous thoughts were like bubbles on the water surface, constantly dissipating and floating again. He couldn't help but scratch his scalp.

  ——What on earth should I do?

  At this moment, the opposite door opened gently, and a light footstep approached him sitting on the sofa.

   "What are you in a daze here?"

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head and saw the long-haired girl in a clean dress standing there with a smile, overlooking him.

   "No, nothing..."

  Xu Xiangyang stammered in answer.

  He suddenly felt that he was a little weird, not only because he just thought about a lot of things about her, and felt unable to lift his head for a while;

It’s even more because when he saw Xingjie standing in front of him, his eyes fell on the young girl’s two white and slender thighs protruding from under the skirt, and then on her undulating breast contour under the thin clothes. The jade-like clavicle line... It took him a lot of effort to turn his gaze back to her face.

  My...what the **** is going on?

  He licked his lips, feeling a bit dry in his throat, and wanted to jump into the tank filled with ice water to cool the hot mind again.

  Is it too tired?

  "Aren’t you going to cook?"

  The girl didn't notice his strangeness, she asked with her hands on her slender waist from a high level.

   "Ah, sorry, I'm going to prepare..."

  Xu Xiangyang stood up in a daze, preparing to go to the kitchen.

"no, I'm fine."

  She smiled happily and pressed Xu Xiangyang’s shoulders, forcing him to sit down.

  The scent of shampoo on the girl's hair, not knowing whether it came from the skirt or the faint fragrance of the delicate body, made his heart turbulent again.

"you……?"

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head in a daze

   "I will do it today."

   Lin Xingjie flicked her hair and looked confident.

   "You do it?"

   "Yes, Sister Lian taught me a few dishes last time. Let me show you my craft this time!"

"Yes?"

  Xu Xiangyang answered casually, but his mind was not concentrated.

"Can you?"

   "Of course, don't look down on me too much!"

   Lin Xingjie snorted softly.

  "When I was at home, I used to make it by myself, just...that is, the taste may be relatively ordinary."

  Not halfway through the words, the girl’s original imposing voice slowly weakened, and it seemed that she was somewhat lacking in confidence.

  At least for Lin Xingjie, she feels that Xu Xiangyang’s food tastes better than her own, otherwise she would not have given him all the dinner tasks before.

  However, she is a girl with ingenuity, how can she lose to a boy in this respect!

With this idea, Lin Xingjie, who has received the true story from Li Qinglian, who was said to have been a chef of Xu Xiangyang, is determined to take the first step towards the realm of gourmet food.

   "Okay, I will look forward to it."

   Xu Xiangyang finally recovered a bit, he said with a smile.

   "Then I will leave the washing dishes to you later, hehehe."

  Two people live under the same roof, and both have the obligation to keep this small house clean and tidy, so housework is fairly distributed.

  Lin Xingjie was obviously in a very happy mood. After she put on her apron, she immediately walked towards the kitchen. Soon there was a movement of pots and pans in that direction.

  Only the confused Xu Xiangyang was sitting on the sofa alone. He held his chest with his hands and stared at the TV screen with a serious face, as if he wanted to find the truth of the universe in the darkness.

  ……

  The night is dark.

If there are passers-by who come home late and pass by this alley by chance, the gluttons in their stomachs will definitely be hooked up by the fragrance lingering between the blue tiles and white walls: the steaming fragrance from the half-covered door and the cracks in the windows makes People coveted, the echo of the friction and collision of the spatula makes people miss the taste of home.

  Xu Xiangyang’s home is also in it, and the fragrance of the food is wafting from the kitchen.

  He couldn't help but look in that direction.

  The girl with her hair **** and wearing an apron, she was busy walking back and forth between the sink and the boiler room, carefully cooking and cooking, which made Xu Xiangyang feel a strange trance.

  Since Zhu Qingyue taught her how to tie her ponytail to facilitate her actions at a sports meeting, Lin Xingjie’s dressing up has become more and more neat.

  The bright fire light illuminates the girl's face. The transparent glass showcase was covered with a thin layer of mist, which gradually blurred the slender figure in his vision.

  Xu Xiangyang no longer looked at the TV screen, but stared at her in a daze while she was busy.

  Self sitting on the sofa, Lin Xingjie in the kitchen. The teenagers and girls living in this small family look almost like a pair at this moment—

  Once such a fantasy occurs, it becomes more and more out of control.

  He was motionless, as if he had completely turned into a sculpture.

This afternoon, Zhu Qingyue’s words were like a carving knife in the hands of a prospector. He dug a few times into the part of his heart that he thought had already solidified, which seemed to be a deep and solid rock shell. It was pierced all at once.

  For a long time, the most ambitious goal in the heart of a teenager is to be admitted to a good university. In the three years of high school, he will be a strong-willed student who is insulated from early love——

  After all, his heart is not strong at all, it is full of hot emotions flowing like magma.

  Just like now, the surging emotion engulfed his brain and made him upset; the forehead picture looked like a fever, and there was no way to calm down and think.

  It turns out that I have never been a strong-willed person. Xu Xiangyang is deeply aware of this. He is easily tempted and influenced by others. He likes to waver and hesitate to do things.

  The reason why he thinks he is strong in mind is actually because he has never made real friends in the past, let alone the opportunity to live with a girl of the same age like this...

  The life of a lone wolf without any weakness has long gone away from him.

   "Xiang Yang, are you busy? Come and do me a favor."

  The girl's crisp voice came from the kitchen, and Xu Xiangyang woke up from shock, and quickly replied with a good voice.

  ……

  There were several steaming dishes on the table.

  A bowl full of white rice, chopsticks, and spoons are all placed together.

  Broiled fish, loofah soup, green pepper scrambled eggs, and rice white pork shreds, all shining alluringly under the light.

"how is the taste?"

   Lin Xingjie unbuttoned her apron, and asked Xu Xiangyang, who had been sitting there early, with a look of expectation on her face.

   "Hmm... it's delicious."

  Xu Xiangyang put a chopstick into his mouth, but he couldn't taste it. His eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him.

"Yes?"

  Lin Xingjie sat down and tasted enthusiastically. After a few seconds, she dropped her shoulders and sighed somewhat disappointed.

   "Hey, it's still not as good as you."

   "I think it's delicious."

  Xu Xiangyang replied casually, while picking up the dishes, he gushed rice into his mouth.

   Seeing him eating hard there, the girl's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

  ……

  After Xu Xiangyang cleaned up the dishes, Lin Xingjie said that she was going to take a bath.

Today, she participated in two running competitions, spent a whole day outside, and made a meal when she came back. The girl felt that she was sticky and very uncomfortable, so after eating, she took her clothes from the bedroom. Ran into the bathroom.

  And Xu Xiangyang sat on the sofa again.

Lin Xingjie takes a bath almost every day. At first, he would consciously return to the room at this time for reasons of avoiding suspicion; but after a long time, he got used to it, usually sitting at the desk by the window to study, not hearing anything. Inside the house, I only read the sage books.

  However, tonight, he was unable to calmly ignore the sound from the bathroom as he used to.

   The patter of water is like raindrops hitting the eaves, doors and windows, and like a clear spring winding through a mountain stream.

Xu Xiangyang seems to be able to imagine that picture in his mind: steaming water, smooth skin like white porcelain; with the movements of the girl, the spray from the shower flows down, ripples on the surface of the water... …

  He gently stroked his chest, where the heartbeat seemed to be more active than any night before, longer than when he was preparing to solve the last big problem in math.

"boom."

  While Xu Xiangyang was thinking wildly, time passed by minute by minute. The door of the bathroom was pushed open from inside, and the slight noise that came from it seemed to echo directly in his heart.

   Lin Xingjie came out of the bathroom wearing a large shirt, wiping her wet long hair with a large towel.

  Just after taking a shower, her face was flushed red, and her body was filled with hazy water vapor. The black-haired and snow-skinned girl can't help but think of the word "Water Lotus". The loose shirt was draped to the base of the thigh, a small half of the shoulder of the upper body was exposed to the air, and the large area of ​​the leg skin exposed at the hem was shimmering moist under the dim light.

  Lin Xingjie put the towel on her shoulder and looked at Xu Xiangyang sitting on the sofa in a daze with surprise.

   "Hey, what are you doing here?"

   "I...I have finished my homework, come out for a walk, relax..."

  Xu Xiangyang's answer subconsciously made him feel embarrassed. Does the so-called "relaxation" mean sitting here and eavesdropping on the sound of a girl taking a bath?

   "Ah~"

  Lin Xingjie didn't think of this, she clapped her hands, she suddenly realized that she was happy.

   "So, today is to watch the disc and relax, right?"

  She stepped on slippers "patters" ran to the edge of the sofa, knelt down beside Xu Xiangyang, and asked excitedly:

   "What are you going to see today?"

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and glanced at her, not daring to look down any more.

  The girl curled up her slender jade legs, supported the sofa with her hands, kneeled sideways on the sofa and looked at her posture, which weakened the sheltering effect of her pajamas, which had been too wide, for a few more points.

  In addition, his mental condition today is a bit wrong...

  Xu Xiangyang coughed, got up quickly, walked to the TV, randomly pulled out the recently bought discs from the cabinet underneath, and put them on the table.

   "Look at it for yourself, today... I want to go to bed early."

After leaving these words, Xu Xiangyang quickly left the living room and closed the door of his bedroom.

  Leaving Lin Xingjie on the sofa alone, watching his back disappear behind the door with a suspicious expression.

  After a while, the girl’s beautiful eyeballs rolled around, as if thinking of something, her expression was a little dazed and weird.
