Invade the World

  Chapter 298 In addition to believing in love

  "...So, do you expect a birthday party to reverse Xingjie’s impression of you?"

  Xu Xiangyang is about to close and leave. He felt that the squad leader was wishful thinking.

"It's the impression of you. I do it for your own good. Are you willing to be content with the awkward and lukewarm relationship with Xingjie right now? A bystander of mine feels anxious for both of you.... Of course, I don’t deny that I also helped you because it helped me achieve my goals."

  Zhu Qingyue sighed, took the chopsticks in her hand and knocked on the plate.

   "Hey, this is not good."

  He subconsciously stopped.

   "What's not good? No matter what I have, there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​organizing a birthday party for a friend, right?"

   "Will Xingjie even treat you as a friend? You have to talk about it... Also, I don't mean this when I say ‘bad’."

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to the chopsticks in her hand.

  "Don't knock it on the bowl."

"Oh?"

  Zhu Qingyue blinked, tilted her head and asked curiously:

"why?"

   "It seems to be a rule of dining. It was handed down in the past. It feels bad to knock a bowl with chopsticks, because only beggars do this."

  "So, what's wrong? It's a modern society where everyone is equal. It is true that some people have to rely on begging for their livelihoods because of various miserable circumstances. They should not be discriminated against."

  "……"

  Xu Xiangyang was speechless.

   "Ha ha ha, I was joking."

  Zhu Qingyue's small hands lightly covered her lips, her eyebrows curled up with a smile.

  "I know there is this rule. In the past, there was a special term called ‘knock the lamp and knock the cup’, right?"

  "Do you know that..."

"I just think it's fun. You just used that serious tone to suddenly talk about topics that are not very relevant and important, and your attitude is the same as that of a long-winded parent." The squad leader's eyes subconsciously fell into the distance again. On the long-haired girl, "This feeling is the same as Xingjie said."

  "……"

  Xu Xiangyang once again failed to come up with a good answer.

  Xingjie actually teased him on this issue more than once. But this is how he expresses his concern, so he never meant to change it.

Of course—Xu Xiangyang feels like a torch, gentle and considerate—because in his opinion, the girl says "You are so annoying", but she still likes this in her heart and wants to come to her family. The environment has something to do with it.

  As for whether the squad leader will take this trick, it is not known...

   "However, there are other ways of saying this kind of dining etiquette."

  Xu Xiangyang converged his divergent thoughts, and looked at the girl who lightly leaned his head on his shoulder. She was turning her chopsticks in one hand, while whispering in a low voice.

  He suddenly discovered that the top button of the school uniform shirt on the squad leader had unknowingly loosened it.

  In normal times, I can’t see it, but if I look at it from a very close and condescending angle, I can just see the full outline looming between the gaps, and a touch of seductive snow under the collarbone.

  "Do you know'Gu'? Guworm, the poisonous'Gu'."

  Zhu Qingyue’s gaze was out of focus. It was obvious that even though she had always been keen, she could not find the look of the boy Se Mimi beside her completely unguarded.

  Xu Xiangyang moved slightly in his heart, but soon couldn't help but curse that he had no concentration.

  Obviously, I have seen something more powerful more than once...Could it be because the cafeteria is a human environment, which makes the stimulation more intense?

  Speaking of which, did the squad leader become plump again... She said that she had become fat just now, but it was more like a girl in the final developmental period of high school.

   "Well, I've heard of it."

  Xu Xiangyang tried his best to restrain his eyes from floating on the girl’s chest, and replied at the same time.

  In short, gu is a kind of artificially cultivated poisonous insect. Gu cultivators will put all kinds of poisonous insects, such as poisonous snakes, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, caterpillars, mantises, etc., into the altar, then bury them in the soil or perform rituals, and then open them after a while. You will find that one bug must have eaten up all the others.

  The winner is called "蛊", that is, the poison king who aggregates the toxicity of various poisonous insects.

  “There is a saying that when poisoning other people with gu in food, you need to hit the bowl while chanting the spell to make the worm work. Therefore, it is a taboo to hit the bowl with chopsticks."

  "It’s true...it’s a little scary. I’ve only seen it on discs. It’s the kind of horror film that has a plot to kill people. Generally, the victim will die miserably."

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while and said again.

"By the way, I've seen it in magazines. The legendary stories in this area are the most popular in Yunnan, which is close to Southeast Asia. Then there are legends that some foreign men go to work and live there and get to know the beauty After the two people fell in love, the man cruelly abandoned the girl and left Yunnan after a while. The result is often miserable. The reason is that the minority girl over there will give his lover a gu, and once he changes his heart, he will... "

"Hmph, men really are." Zhu Qingyue curled her lips, "Even the weird and terrifying tradition of'Gu' must have a relationship with women. This is how longing for the so-called'romance'... No, It's Aventure."

   "No, no, no, no matter what, this kind of rumor should be a horror story for men, right?"

"You don't understand this. The story of'abandoned women punishing the guilty guy' has been around since ancient times and has a broad mass base. The reason is that these kinds of stories are actually loved by men. Think about it, modern society Leaving aside, in ancient times, the discourse power of literary criticism must have been in the hands of literati poker and upper-class society, and the pursuit of appreciation by men occupies an overwhelming advantage. If a story is only popular with women, it will not be popular. ."

   "Oh, that sounds reasonable...but why?"

  The topic seems to have completely deviated from the original track, and has nothing to do with the "birthday party" Qingyue said.

  They were just chatting aimlessly. They talked casually, but they all focused on a girl who was eating.

"The reason is that most men think that they are good men who are loyal to love. In this way, similar stories will not serve the audience and readers as a warning or fearful effect, but only the'abandoned' Chu Chu poor female's element. Such a role naturally easily arouses the sympathy of men, because they can't wait to replace it."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and turned the chopsticks in her hand in a circle, and pointed at Xu Xiangyang’s nose to slowly spin it.

   "Like you, even when you’re on two boats, you feel that you are a gentle and considerate man. It is necessary to hurt Xingjie’s feelings, right?"

   "No, no." Xu Xiangyang denied it, shaking his head like a rattle, "No. I have fully realized my mistakes and will not make excuses for myself."

  It's just not repenting. The nature is still different, although the degree is equally bad.

   "Hehe, Xiangyang, don't lie in front of me. We are companions and accomplices. I won't be jealous."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled happily.

"The main thing is that the story is just a story. It does not insist on the truth. In some stories I have seen, the abandoned wife of the dirty chaff is always described as pitiful, gentle and virtuous, while the man's new woman She is just rich and powerful. Not only is she an ugly fat woman, she is also very arrogant and domineering. But in case the one who is abandoned is a rude village woman with big hands, and then the woman is gentle, considerate and knowledgeable. What about the ladies of the ceremony? In fact, if it really happens in real life, this possibility is relatively high. I think that when facing such a dilemma, most men will come to the same Answer."

Ok……

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment, feeling that he was not interested in money.

  It may be that he is not yet that age, or that he has seen another world that is far more interesting and surreal too early.

   "Can't both sides be beautiful?"

  Sir squad leader seemed to be really idle, and began to learn the appearance of someone in the distance and started drinking soup silently, but was choked when he heard his question.

  The girl coughed several times and couldn't help kicking him under the dining table.

   "You really did it, right?"

  Zhu Qingyue hummed softly, and the cheeks became bulging again.

  ...What about saying "not jealous"?

  The two chatted for a while, until they saw Lin Xingjie holding the dinner plate, got up and walked across the rows of tables and chairs full of voices. The thin figure with long and fluttering hair seemed to be lonely, but it showed a sense of unrestrained energy.

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes would float to her every once in a while, so now, he watched him leave the cafeteria as a matter of course.

  From the beginning to the end, the girl's eyes did not cast her eyes on the "dog men and women" here even once.

   "She's gone."

After a long time, the squad leader whispered in his ear.

"Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded.

   "Ah... if there really is something like that."

  He heard Zhu Qingyue’s emotion, and felt strange and scary. Hurriedly said:

  "Don't use your brains."

"I will not."

   "Liar. If you change someone who is not your opponent, you can't help it."

   "Hehe, as expected of my boyfriend, he really understands me... But really, if I were to be another person, I wouldn't have the idea of ​​having three people together."

  Lin Xingjie is special, just like Zhu Qingyue is special and Xu Xiangyang is special.

  This is the case for young people. They always like to add unique specialties to their favorite things or people, thinking that they are unique in the world.

   may actually be just an illusion.

   is actually just wishful thinking.

  But they just want to believe this, that is, "me" and everything around "me" is the whole world.

  Zhu Qingyue thinks so, and Xu Xiangyang thinks so, so when he hears such words, he will nod with approval.

   "She's gone, let's go too."

"good."

  After the two placed the plates, they walked out of the damp canteen, and a cool autumn breeze came in slowly, blowing the corners of the children's white clothes.

  "Birthday party..."

  The squad leader seemed to want to revisit the old thing, but she couldn't help shaking her head just after she turned her head. The expression that couldn't help but laughed seemed to be funny.

  "Don’t talk about it? Is there anything I need to prepare, and invite students from the school, I can help——"

"Stupid you, if only this level of problem can be easily solved by myself, do I still need to come to you to discuss it? Even if it is really necessary for you, it will be over with the last sentence, and you can still reject me Nothing?"

   "Uh...hmm."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded honestly, indicating that the other party was right.

   "So, of course, I am looking for you to understand Xingjie's current mood and discuss how to be good with her. This is the most important thing."

"what about now?"

   "——Now, I put it all down."

  Zhu Qingyue stretched out her hands, she squinted her eyes, enjoying the breeze against the iron fence, her hair fluttered and the corners of her lips were slightly curled, with an expression of seeing through the world.

   "Xu Xiangyang, let's take love seriously, and enjoy the little remaining high school life!"

  I believe you a ghost!

  He held his forehead somewhat helplessly.

   "Please, my eldest lady, even if we don’t engage in puppy love, the most important thing right now is not to enjoy life, but to prepare for the college entrance examination, right?"

  Senior squad leader blinked, with a very unbelievable expression, as if saying, "But it’s easy for me at all"...

  Ah yes yes yes, you are all right.

   Seeing that the only companion was not on the road, he had no good idea, so he simply followed her to temporarily let go of the problem, and stood on the railing and looked straight ahead.

  Below the canteen is the runway, the playground, a small forest and a white wall ahead, and then the road outside the school, the end of the vision is slightly hazy, like a high-rise building shrouded in morning mist.

  A common sight.

  The vast blue sky hung down to the treetops, and white clouds floated within reach.

  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, every time I stand up high and look up at the sky in my memory (if it is cloudy or rainy...), I will always see the same scenery.

  If this world is really created by God, then he must be the kind of easygoing, casual character. No wonder no one wants to work with this guy.

  Or is it an obsessive-compulsive disorder that likes to make everything at your hand look exactly the same?

  But I don’t know why, looking at this unchanging space for chatting, Xu Xiangyang's mood seems to be really relaxed.

  He knows what Qingyue means, it's nothing more than "Xingjie’s business, just let the flow take place, and insist on the opposite but not beautiful."

  She might just be to comfort herself, or she might really think so, or both.

  After all, even the squad leader’s unparalleled clever little brain, facing the century-old problem of "how to make a woman accept that her man has other women", he can’t think of any reasonable solution...

  In addition to believing.

  They have only wishful thinking that there is something unique in the world, and that there is love that can fill the gaps.

  I believe that this kind of love will not be constrained by the world, and that this kind of love is always free.

  I believe that no matter how ridiculous things are, they will happen to each other one day.
