Invade the World

  Chapter 187 The Heartbeat of Three People KTV

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the long-haired girl in front of her quietly. She was sticking out her tongue and licking the popsicle, stuffing it into her mouth from time to time to suck, as if she couldn't bear to chew the white popsicle before it turned into sugar water.

  This way of eating is very economical. It takes the taste of every inch of the food as the priority. It is completely opposite to the simple and crude squad leader.

  He recalled that the night when his relationship with Lin Xingjie got better, the two went to a nearby commercial street for dinner. He was fortunate to see the girl eating skewers and noodles and the mouth was full of oil.

  ...In this way, the feeding relationship between him and Xingjie probably set the tone from the beginning of the acquaintance.

  Although this girl loves good food, she doesn't look like she gobbles it up when she eats. On the contrary, the class leader who is like a lady on weekdays is more bold.

  The girl with black long straight hair looks like a small animal eating with small mouthfuls. It is very cute and makes people never get tired of it; therefore, it is not only him, but Qingyue also likes to buy food for her.

   Seeing Xu Xiangyang staring straight at him, the girl's expression was a little embarrassed, and the pure face rose slightly with red clouds.

  But the anger in her heart hadn't disappeared, she didn't mean to talk to her, and after rolling her eyes to him, she began to concentrate on "wiping out" the popsicle in her hand.

  When the popsicles were only half and half left, Lin Xingjie said vaguely.

   "What do you...look at?"

  "You look good"-a similar white rotten answer, Xu Xiangyang swallowed it back before he could say it.

   "Did you meet something?"

  Xu Xiangyang hesitated to ask.

   Judging from Lin Xingjie’s attitude towards licking a popsicle, it might not matter much.

  However, she would actually run out of the house and look for him under the blazing sunlight. It was absolutely impossible for no reason. so--

   "I should ask you this sentence."

  Lin Xingjie ate the last bite, threw the stick to the trash can not far away, and returned to the cold and cool girl mode from the cute animal state.

  When she turned her head, the long dark hair that was blown by the warm wind blocked her sharp vision for a while.

   "What are you two here for?"

   "Xiang Yang is here to accompany me to meet my classmates in elementary school."

  At this moment, Zhu Qingyue, who had been watching just now, finally spoke, her voice soft and soft.

   "I thought you guys would sing K later, which made me go around in vain... Why didn't you go?"

  Lin Xingjie said that her face was a smile without a smile, showing a row of white as pearl teeth.

   "Isn't it interesting?"

   "It's possible, but..."

  Speaking of this, Xu Xiangyang finally affirmed his guess, ready to go straight to the topic.

  "No matter how busy other people are, it has nothing to do with us. Xingjie, are you worried when you see me not at home?"

"Humph."

  Lin Xingjie hugged her arms and hummed, without answering.

   Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing.

   "Don't worry, Qingyue and I just met some less important people and said some less important things."

  Subsequently, Xu Xiangyang continued to say in a serious tone:

   "If it is really to do something interesting, I will definitely invite you this morning, and the three of you will go together..."

  The girl's slender eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the squad leader next to her put on a surprised expression.

  He didn’t notice the expressions of the two of them, because at this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: Didn’t I want to make Xingjie happy? Isn't this a good opportunity?

   Thinking like this, he glanced to the side involuntarily, and just happened to collide with the squad leader's gaze.

  The girl has a sweet smile, her light-colored pupils are shining, as if she can talk. The two seemed to reach a consensus at that moment.

  So, Xu Xiangyang, who was supported, decided decisively to turn this sudden idea into reality. He asked:

   "Speaking of which, Xingjie, have you ever been to karaoke?"

  Rapunzel shook her head blankly, puzzled.

   "That's right. Just so, Qingyue said she hadn't been there before, and neither did I."

  Xu Xiangyang's words paused slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face.

  "——In this case, the opportunity is rare, shall the three of us go see and see together?"

  *

The location of   KTV is not far away, and they found the door quickly on the way they left from Zhu Qingyue’s former alma mater to the vegetable market.

  Xu Xiangyang had seen that kind of dance hall in the urban-rural junction before. In addition, in the old town where he currently lives, there are also several discos that are particularly lively at night.

  However, such places give people a smoky impression. Unless they are young people who have already entered the society or are really bad teenagers, ordinary students will not go to such places.

  Karaoke is really back.

  Compared with the wide, large, colorful light bulbs of the song and dance hall, which can’t wait to be the most shining spot on the street, the number of KTVs in this city is relatively scarce, and the decoration is not so eye-catching.

  The doorway is relatively small, but the internal space has a unique cave: the walls are painted red, and the floor is covered with red carpet.

  There is no idle crowd dangling in the door, the atmosphere is relatively quiet, only the rumbling noise faintly coming from the box with people on the other side of the corridor.

   "Your classmate is here right now?"

  Xingjie stood on the steps, her expression looked a little nervous, she turned her head and asked in a low voice.

   "Hey, don't worry about the insignificant guys, go ahead and talk about it."

  Zhu Qingyue gently pushed the long-haired girl standing in front of her behind her back, half forcing her and half persuasively to let her step into the KTV together.

  As the only boy in the trio, Xu Xiangyang has opened the plastic curtain and walked towards the counter.

The two girls followed him closely, and the squad leader looked around like a curious baby; Lin Xingjie tightened her lips as if she didn't care, but her eyes went back and forth between the waiter passing the corridor and the interior furnishings. .

   "Well, there is still a half discount at night?"

  Zhu Qingyue caught a glimpse of the price list, smiled and suggested to two friends:

  "Not as good as us—"

   "No, no, we...I have to go home early."

  "The first time is to try, it doesn’t take too long."

  The two rejected the proposal almost unanimously.

  "Hello. Are you here to book a box for classmates gathering? Someone will come over later?"

   Sitting behind the counter was a young man who looked only a few years older than them. He raised his head and asked politely.

   "No, it's just a friend who came out to play in private." Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "There is no one else."

"……good."

  The young man looked at the black long straight on the left and the short-haired **** the right, then turned his attention back to the boy, his eyes were stunned, probably because he didn't know what their relationship was.

It's not that he likes to be nosy, but KTV naturally has a choice of boxes for different numbers of people, and there are also special offers for families and couples to recommend... But this combination of one man and two women, both high school students, let People are a little confused.

   "Just open the box for two hours."

  Xu Xiangyang took out the wallet from his pocket and paid the deposit to the other party.

   "Each box has a free fruit plate provided, do I need an extra?"

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and met the two girls behind him at the same time.

  Neither Xing nor Yue spoke, they raised their heads to look at themselves together.

  Two pairs of beautiful eyes, one is clear and shallow, the other is dark and pure.

  The temperament is completely different, but it also has amazing beauty.

  There was a slight jump in his heart.

  "...Make another copy."

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and replied like this.

  *

  The lights in the box are not all turned on. After the thick curtains are drawn, the outside sunlight will not penetrate at all, and the indoor light is slightly dim.

  The air-conditioning is very strong, and the room is clean and tidy, which is a relief.

  A circle of soft sofas surrounds the coffee table in the middle, and the three of them sit down to rest.

  The squad leader took the initiative to pour three cups of water, and put the cut fruit on the fruit plate with a toothpick.

  For a time, no one spoke.

  There is a small high platform in front of it, and a shelf for microphones; on the wall is a small shining TV, and there is a song list on the table.

  Xu Xiangyang sits in the middle of the sofa with nothing to do; Zhu Qingyue sits on the right side, flipping through the playlist; Lin Xingjie sits on the left side, silently drinking the water in the cup.

  The squad leader is closer to him, and her body is slightly tilted toward her side, but compared to when the two are alone, she still deliberately controls the intimacy of the distance;

   Lin Xingjie sat farther. Xu Xiangyang, who is already familiar with her temperament, knows that her actions are not so much to deliberately pull a long distance, as it is because of some unnecessary concerns of her own:

  Just now, on a hot day, the girl’s thin clothes were soaked in sweat. Xingjie was afraid that she could smell the sweat on her body, nothing more.

  The reason why he knew it was because it was like this every time the two went home together after school. Lin Xingjie would pretend to keep a distance unintentionally along the way, and he must wait until he finishes washing before sitting with him to watch the disc.

Xu Xiangyang wanted to tell her "this kind of thing doesn't matter at all." I hope she will not care about it, but discussing sweat smell with girls of the same age sounds really neurotic and a bit perverted. He really can't pull this face down and say that. Kind of words...

  After a while, the waiter opened the door and came in. The atmosphere in the box was stagnant for a while, and finally began to flow.

  When the waiter asked them about the playlist, Xu Xiangyang turned his head and asked:

   "Do you two want to sing?"

  Neither of the two girls answered, but their eyes fell on themselves, their two big bright eyes twinkling in the dim room, staring Xu Xiangyang a little scalp numb.

   Forced to get the initiative in the trio, he coughed, so he had to draw a random circle on the playlist with a pen:

  "Why? Just a few songs from this list."

  ……

  Soon after the waiter left, melodious music came from the speaker.

  Xu Xiangyang looked around, seeing that the two still had no intention to speak, and had to take the initiative to break the silence.

   "This song, "Standing on the High Post", who will? I've heard it a few times, if you guys..."

"Let me do it."

  Sir squad leader smiled slightly and took the initiative to pick up the microphone placed on the table.

  She got up from the sofa, walked to the stage, sat on the shelf, facing the two of them, cleared her throat and then let out a voice, the voice was like a crowing, crisp and tactful.

  Xu Xiangyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

  The squad leader deserves to be a perfect superman. From her singing, it can be heard that this eldest lady must have learned vocal skills when she was a child. The term "people, beautiful songs and sweet" is perfect to describe her.

   Unfortunately, he has not been able to feel at ease for long.

  "I am standing on the high hill and looking in the distance, there is a loving man standing there~"

  The more Zhu Qingyue engaged in the appointment, she stood up with the microphone, and while singing, she stretched out her palm towards Xu Xiangyang who was sitting on the sofa, as if she was performing intently without knowing it.

  However, the girl's eyes were clear and clear, with a slightly teasing smile.

  Xu Xiangyang put his hands on his knees, sitting with his arms folded, pretending not to see.

  He heard the sound of "clicking on the flesh" coming from Lin Xingjie's direction, and suddenly he didn't want to turn his head to look at it.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt a strange feeling.

  All this seems to be different from what I imagined. Whether it's Xingjie's attitude or Qingyue's performance...

  At a certain moment, it seemed that he suddenly realized that he finally saw clearly the inner emotions and the entangled relationship between the three of them. But this kind of resuscitation did not bring any refreshing feeling, instead it made him feel like sitting on pins and needles.

  Obviously, the air conditioner was turned on. For some reason, Xu Xiangyang's back was still sweating.

   is cold sweat.

   "...A lover~"

  The girl’s singing turned softly, but the time waiting for the song to end turned into a torment.

   "The next song is "Look at the Girl Opposite"."

  The squad leader walked off the small table, handed the microphone to Xu Xiangyang, and reminded him with a smile.

   "Is it your turn?"

"……good."

  This song is very catchy. In this era, there are few people who have never heard of it and can't hum along with it. Xu Xiangyang is no exception.

  He put the microphone on the shelf, coughed slightly like a squad leader, and started humming.

   Sitting across from Zhu Qingyue, she swayed her body and clapped her hands to the melody.

   "I look left and right, up and down, it turns out that every girl is not easy..."

  Xu Xiangyang sang, feeling that the lyrics actually matched his mood at the moment.

   "I thought and thought, I guessed and guessed, the girls' thoughts are really strange..."

   After the singing came to an end, Xu Xiangyang heard a "Okay!", and the squad leader was applauding with face. But he found that she had already come to Lin Xingjie's side from an unknown time.

  The two girls sat on the sofa side by side, Zhu Qingyue leaned close to her friend's ear affectionately, and whispered:

   "Guess, Xiang Yang was looking at me just now or was he looking at you? "The girl opposite", which one is it to him?"

   "...he doesn't care about anyone, right?"

   Lin Xingjie answered with a frown, and leaned back subconsciously.

  She didn’t want Xu Xiangyang to smell the sweat on her body, and naturally she didn’t want Zhu Qingyue to think she was dirty...

  The singing in the box was loud and noisy, but Xu Xiangyang, who was sitting on the stage, heard the dialogue between the two girls clearly.

  He sat on the swivel chair like a nail in his ass, and for a while he had no intention of coming down.

  "The next song is...Uh, "Sad Pacific", I like this, this song, let me sing it."

  Xu Xiangyang pretended to be muttering a few words to himself, and continued to bite the bullet and sing down.

   "Or betrayal is considerate, or escape is easier—"

As he sang, he secretly caught sight of the squad leader squatting in Rapunzel’s ear and whispering, not knowing what he was talking about; and when he was halfway through the singing, Xu Xiangyang could clearly feel Lin Xingjie’s sight falling on him, like People are crippled like needles.

   "I, the ship I'm waiting for has not come yet, and the people I'm waiting for don't understand yet..."

  When he stumbled and sang to the back, the voice had gone out of place.

   "Okay! Sing well!"

  The squad leader yelled, completely unable to see the quietness of the ladies in the school. Seeing her smiling face, you probably feel happy from the bottom of your heart, right?

  "Next song, is Xingjie's turn for the next song?"

  Her eyes are shining, full of expectation.

  The melody sounded again.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the long-haired girl who never said a word.

"is it okay?"

   Lin Xingjie did not answer, but came forward silently.

  Songs are also popular in the streets and alleys in recent years, and they can be described as popular...

   "The Heart Is Too Soft".

  "You love that person with no regrets, and you don’t want to sleep late at night, are you still thinking about him? Are you tired from being so infatuated, knowing he won’t come back to comfort..."

   "I just want to love someone well, and he doesn't understand the extra sacrifices that feel distressed. You shouldn't just want to be a good person..."

   "It's no use thinking about it anymore, waiting stupidly for him will never come back..."

  Compared with the squad leader, Lin Xingjie has not received special training, and has no chance to go to KTV or dance halls. However, there is a natural sense of clarity in her voice, like a clear spring in the mountains, slowly flowing into the bottom of people's hearts.

  At this moment, a sad love song was sung, and the girl sang seriously and devotedly, which was indeed contagious.

  Xu Xiangyang, who sat back on the sofa, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wondering if he wanted to change the playlist with the waiter, and applauded vigorously with Zhu Qingyue.

  　 Let me know that the operating officer has changed. In addition, now the Sun Moon Star trio has started a little circle, Da Ge remembers to show his favorite characters every day, as well as check in the book review area. In addition, small rewards can also be played on the side of the character, which is helpful to get out of the circle, thank you everyone~
