Invade the World

  Chapter 297 Sensitive Mind

  When Xu Xiangyang came to the classroom this morning, he accidentally noticed a number written in white chalk in the upper corner of the blackboard.

  "There are still 280 days before the college entrance examination"

  He couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

   "Wow, I started writing it so early."

  The short boy sitting at the front said with a smile.

   "It's getting late."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, then nodded with a wry smile.

  ...Yes, it's not early indeed.

  They are already in their third year of high school. There is only less than a year left before graduation.

  In the past, Xu Xiangyang had seen such numbers in the graduating class of high school more than once: when he was walking through the corridor, when he went to help teachers, and when he had the opportunity to communicate with the seniors and sisters of high school.

This number is sometimes "90" and sometimes "17"; another time, one day near the college entrance examination, when he walked through the corridor where the third grade is located, he stood by the window and looked inside and found that he was in the class There was no one, and the chairs were all neatly placed on the table.

  In the empty classroom, even the wind seemed to have been pressed when the pause button was blowing across the podium. It was like a dusty palace. Only the "3" on the blackboard looks very conspicuous.

   Then, now it is finally their turn.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the students in the classroom. In fact, up to now, he hasn't been able to remember everyone, especially a few transfer students who passed the exam several times and were promoted from the ordinary class to the fast class, including him, who were all transferred.

  Especially when there are a few short, unobtrusive girls in the class, he is always unable to match their names with their faces.

  And even unrelated strangers like Xingjie or the squad leader will have a memorable and beautiful face when they see it. Of course, it is impossible for everyone in this class to be handsome and beautiful.

  For those who don’t know them, sitting in this classroom is a group of young people who are hard to make an impression, as if they can be seen everywhere.

   But for Xu Xiangyang, these are indeed familiar faces. Everyone is a commonplace person who looks up and sees their heads down; they are faces that can be distinguished at a glance even if they meet on the street after a few years.

   And now, these familiar faces seem to... inevitably change.

  Has everyone become more mature? He thought, maybe not, maybe it's just that the expression on his face has become a bit nervous and serious.

  Adolescents at this age are the most sensitive, and because of this, the changes in their bodies are often not subtly growing in a few years, but more likely to turn upside down after a certain opportunity, after a weekend.

  Compared with the changes that happened to myself, Lin Xingjie, and Zhu Qingyue, the changes made by the classmates were fairly small.

  Xu Xiangyang just sighed a little. He did not expect that one day he would become the kind of person who is completely unknown to the changes in Zhoupan’s daily life.

  While he was thinking in a daze there, the man continued:

   "Recently, I can't find you after school, and I can't even ask questions."

  The other party’s tone is a bit narrow.

  "Did you patronize dating your girlfriend and forget about your brothers?"

"Ha ha……"

  He scratched the back of his head and stood there awkwardly and giggled.

  Dating with a girlfriend, flirting, and so on. Of course, you can’t say that you haven’t done anything, and there are even more than one target.

  As a result, his mind is almost filled with thoughts and actions in this area. The ability to complete the study plan on time is already the result of his improved learning ability. There is no room for other things in life, which seems a bit...too full.

Xu Xiangyang was still a good student in the standard sense. He went out early every day and returned at night. He lived a monotonous life between school and home at two points and one line. His mind was preoccupied with learning. The atmosphere for the class and classmates The replacement will definitely be noticed for the first time.

  But later, he met a supernatural world that was a hundred times more exciting than the life of ordinary high school students, and the love affair with the two girls——

  All this makes the boy’s once boring world become colorful and gorgeous, but the color is so strong and full that there is not even the slightest blank space left, and there is no more stuff in the young life.

  Speaking of, when Xu Xiangyang first transferred schools, he also thought that if he wanted to settle in this city in the future, he would have to make a few reliable friends from the high school era.

  He studies hard and has a gentle personality under normal circumstances. He never refuses to communicate with others about learning problems. Of course, boys like this do not lack friends.

  It’s just because the time to get to know everyone is too short, even if the classmates who are familiar with each other at the beginning of school, there is no opportunity to communicate with them in depth afterwards.

  Xu Xiangyang also thought about cultivating a hobby. For example, when he was in junior high school in that city, he liked to play Junqi and Gobang when he was lazy. Maybe he could find a few chess friends in the fifteenth middle school.

  And play basketball with the boys.

  Although Xu Xiangyang often spends his time in physical education class to go back to the classroom to be lazy, he does not hate moving his body.

  Under the shining sun, running, dribbling, shooting on the plastic playground, sweating, enthusiasm, and only the trajectory of the ball left in his eyes...This is the life he has longed to live.

  But it doesn’t work anymore. Xu Xiangyang has missed the opportunity. Anyone who loves to play basketball in the physical education class of the activity class now has a company, and it seems too late to join now.

  Even if others don’t mind, Xu Xiangyang doesn’t want to be a novice to spoil their interest in playing.

  Occasionally, only occasionally, Xu Xiangyang still has this idea:

  ——It would be great if he could maintain the pure and innocent friendship with the two girls as before.

  Even though he knew it, it was just a luxury. With the close connection between the three of them, sooner or later they need to face everything in the moment.

  What’s more, if you don’t reach the stage of love with Xingjie and the squad leader earlier, the person who regrets it might be his turn.

  From the perspective of others, Xu Xiangyang’s ideas are completely pretentious. Compared with studying and exercising, having the opportunity to fall in love with two beautiful girls at the same time is the real fulfillment.

  There is only one youth in each person’s life, and he will never come back in the past; since he has gotten an opportunity that others will never touch in his life, he is not suitable for complaining anymore.

  So, this is really just "occasional".

  ……

  He returned to his seat and put down his schoolbag.

  After sitting down, Xu Xiangyang's eyes moved from the faces of the surrounding students to a scene in the classroom.

There are traces of chalk everywhere, and the blackboard that cannot be wiped clean with an eraser; the mop bucket that is randomly visited in the corner, the shaking old-fashioned electric fan, the next desk with crooked and twisted texts, a bunch of crumpled footers 'S books are stacked randomly on top...

  This is his world, the world of every high school student.

   Then, his eyes fell on the white paper that the math teacher had just sent out during the morning self-study, which needs to be completed today and explained in class.

  Xu Xiangyang picked up the black pen.

  Even if tomorrow may be the end of the world, the most important thing is to do the test paper in front of you.

   is really a strange and absurd idea, because the world cannot be destroyed, and it is not a glass-made handicraft... But at some point, even before he encountered the supernatural change, Xu Xiangyang was convinced of it.

  *

  The teacher in the fourth class dragged on for several minutes before announcing the end of the get out of class. At this time, the students in the hallway were gone.

  Xu Xiangyang walked out of the classroom door. On the way to the cafeteria, there were a few familiar people scattered around.

  As he passed a corner, he calmly looked behind the reflection in the window and found a certain long-haired girl standing by the handrail not far behind, overlooking the scenery downstairs.

  The gentle breeze in autumn blows a curtain of dark and smooth long hair. The girl in a white shirt has a plain face that is partly covered and partly exposed, and there is a kind of misty beauty.

  Xingjie has no expression on her face, let alone looking at him. It seemed that he was just walking on the way to the cafeteria, a step late and finally fell behind him.

  But when Xu Xiangyang slowed down, she was unwilling to pass him, so she stopped to look at the scenery.

  I don’t want to go side by side with myself even if I’m hungry...

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, he can always guess the sensitive thoughts in the girl's heart.

  It's not because he is naturally good at trying to figure out the mind of the opposite sex, but because he has a full understanding of Xingjie's personality.

  Thinking of this, he didn't pay attention to her at all, so he just pulled out of his legs and left.

In fact, since the two of them went to the squad leader’s house as a guest a few nights ago-by the way, the two girls had a hot film before-after that, Lin Xingjie's indifferent attitude since breaking up has been somewhat changed.

  At least two days before going to bed, after Xu Xiangyang took the initiative to say goodnight, the other party would respond in a low voice. This incident made him feel overjoyed.

  Perhaps it is the end of the fight and the venting of the anger in your heart, right? He couldn't help thinking like this.

  If you change someone, even yourself, it is impossible for Xingjie to vent his inner dissatisfaction through violence and bear it all.

  The second boat he stepped on was the squad leader, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune——

  Alas, this kind of thinking is really weird and too scumbag, so Xu Xiangyang just started to think about it, so he immediately decided not to think about it.

  Of course, change means change. It is obviously impossible to restore the previous state in a short period of time.

  They still feel awkward when they get along under the same roof; in school, they will avoid each other subconsciously no matter what they do.

  ……

  The canteen is as lively as ever, and there are long lines in front of each window.

   After Xu Xiangyang finished the meal, he was about to find a place where he knew his classmates to sit down. As a result, the most eye-catching girl in the crowd waved to herself with a smile.

   "Xiangyang, come here."

  He walked over with the plate, and the squad leader smiled and patted the empty space next to her.

   "Sit here."

As usual, Zhu Qingyue is like a queen traveling, surrounded by her maids... This idea is very disrespectful, but surrounded by a group of unfamiliar girls, he will definitely choose to shut his mouth and eat silently. So it shouldn't matter!

   "Ah, would you like to eat braised pork?"

"……sure."

  "Then give it to you. I'm losing weight recently, hehe."

  While talking, Miss Qingyue picked out all the meat and put it in his bowl by herself.

  The shoulders of the two were pressed tightly together, and the atmosphere between them was intimate, so the woman was asked to sit directly in the arms of the boy to feed.

The expressions of the girls near    were a little surprised. They looked at each other, probably because they thought this topic was too sensitive, so no one asked.

  They all know that they are good friends, but they don’t know that Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie have broken up.

  In the past, he was either with Xingjie, or with Xingjie and Qingyue; now that his girlfriend is not there, the level of ambiguity between the two has increased by leaps and bounds, which must be very strange in the eyes of others.

  But Xu Xiangyang did not refuse. Instead, he felt that it was nice to have meat in his rice bowl. It was also nice to be honest with the squad leader, I, and I... completely in a totally indifferent attitude.

  This is not self-defeating. It's just that, continuing to pay attention to the distance between Qingyue and Qingyue as in the past, every time she is forced to do some affectionate behavior, I feel guilty of conscience-that kind of attitude doesn't make much sense anymore.

  As long as he refuses to give up his lover relationship with the squad leader, or Xingjie is unwilling to accept the absurd suggestion of "three people are in love", the result will not change.

   "I'm done."

   "Let’s go now."

"bye."

   However, let alone Xu Xiangyang's own mentality change, Zhu Qingyue's companions were obviously embarrassed because of the love and affection of these two guys, and soon got up and left.

"Ugh……"

  Xu Xiangyang had just finished eating the meat in the bowl, and after hearing Ruoruuowu's sigh beside him, his gaze moved back from a slender figure standing in line in front.

"What's wrong?"

   "I was thinking, if Xingjie could also sit down and eat with us."

   "You want to be beautiful."

   Xu Xiangyang said subconsciously.

  In spite of this, he still couldn't help but imagine the feeling of being sandwiched between two young and beautiful female high school students for a meal... The "Fortune of the People" in martial arts novels is such a thing.

   "Hehe, if I sit between you and the two of you, will I look like a baby in the eyes of others? Ah, or vice versa, are you and Xingjie looking like my children?"

  It turned out to be such a ranking!

   "You want to be beautiful!"

  He was very determined this time.

   "Oh, you hate it."

  The squad leader pursed his red lips, and patted him on the shoulder with great importance.

   "Can't you think about it?"

  Xu Xiangyang sighed and put down his chopsticks.

   "You still have to be practical. Calling me over should have something to say?"

"Yes."

  Zhu Qingyue put her hand on her chin, staring firmly at the lone figure in front of her.

  After the long-haired girl had finished her meal, she just sat down in a corner with no one nearby, and she was silently bowing her head to drink soup.

   "What else can it be, the thing I care about most now... is Xingjie's birthday."
