our secret base

Chapter 152 The end of the never-ending summer

Chapter 152 The end of the never-ending summer

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to see it again in the future."

With this idea in mind, the three young people returned to the town. The places they went to were those that were not affected by the chaos caused by the sacred pillars, and were actually not considered the center of the town.

For example, Shigang Village.

For example...the secret base on the mountain.

The sea breeze blows quietly, the sun falling overhead makes the muddy road dry and hot, the mountain air is fresh and gentle, everything is just right.

The calm sea seemed like nothing had happened.

Yan Jingxing and his friends walked on this familiar road, pushing aside the vines that seemed to be growing more luxuriantly than before, and saw the cave.

Their secret base is still the same as before, with the alien transmission device in the shape of a flying saucer quietly placed there.

Coming to this narrow, quiet and cool space is like returning to another home. Yan Jingxing fell into silence subconsciously.

Her body leaned towards him intentionally or unintentionally.

The lively girl who always seemed optimistic and cheerful on weekdays looked at her with gentle eyes at this moment, as if she had grown up several years all of a sudden.

The curly-haired girl's chest heaved slightly due to her unconscious breathing. It was only then that Yan Jingxing realized that the other person was also nervous, as nervous as himself.

The other one replied, her eyes never leaving Yan Jingxing's face as she spoke, so focused that he even blushed.

His petite figure and thin shoulders seemed like he would fly away if blown by the wind; but Yan Jingxing felt his heart heavy as he was being leaned on gently.

"...I see, that's really thoughtful."

"It's just...that wouldn't be a secret base, right?"

"I know, it's weird to say thank you to this day."

Xie Yuzhi gently touched the shell of the transmission device with her fingers, and spoke with an emotional tone.

"Before I met you, I would have never imagined that I would be like this today... Every day I think about the world that is imaginative in the eyes of ordinary people, and look forward to strange adventures. I thought that the world is so big, and life will always follow the rules. continue."

Each other's heartbeats are gradually melting into the scorching heat of midsummer noon.

Yan Jingxing was startled and stuttered a bit when he spoke.

The secret base was quiet except for the sound of wind.

"Uh...I actually..."

“Don’t worry, we can still use it anytime, anywhere.”

"I have discussed it with Miss Miying, and she will ask someone to move the teleportation device to a suitable place."

The girl's beautiful big black and bright eyes looked directly at him from a close distance. The surface of her pupils was full of water, making people unable to help but think of mountain streams, breeze, and the most beautiful summer style.

"Oh! It's like switching to a larger secret base, which sounds good."

"Is it the same? Aren't you the first one among us to believe in aliens? You have been holding on to your own ideas since you were in elementary school."

"...Well, no need to say it."

"——It's because of you."

"Jing Xing..."

"Miss Miying said she was going to put it in her base, a place that even the committee members don't know about..."

Nervous and overwhelmed emotions quietly settled in my heart.

He vaguely felt that the other person started to stop being childish at some point, and occasionally spoke and looked at others like a mature adult.

Yan Jingxing thought that she must have been used to Ji Chunzao's usual closeness, but now she is a little different...

"Speaking of which, what should we do with this device?" Yan Jingxing turned around, "We are leaving Baiyue Town soon, wouldn't it be a good idea to leave this thing here? ?”

"No, when I'm alone, no matter what I do, it feels like I'm lying to myself. I don't know how long I can hold on."

"Jing Xing, I like you."

"So, I have something else to say."

Miss Miying's help won their trust, so she was willing to share secrets; some things she couldn't do as a child had to be entrusted to her.

Ji Chunzao said, she sat down on the table next to her carefreely.

Ji Chunzao paused for a moment.

"Ah...w-what?"

What's the difference?

The voice of confession resounded in the cave, like pebbles thrown into a deep well, with a clear tinkling sound, echoing and reverberating in everyone's ears...

She's so unique that it's admirable, she said.

"Because you are here, Jing Xing, I can be where I am today."

"me too."

This is where their adventure began and where his life completely changed.

Yan Jingxing was nervous and didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment; Xie Yuzhi watched quietly from the side; Ji Chunzao continued speaking as if no one was around:

"It's too sudden, and..."

It took a while for Yan Jingxing to react. He swallowed and subconsciously glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, wanting to see Miss Xie's expression, but he was a little scared and didn't want to look.

"It's because Yuzhi is here that I want to say it."

Ji Chunzao puffed up his cheeks slightly, as if to express dissatisfaction.

After saying these words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her chest, no longer feeling nervous.

Now, she can express her thoughts freely and fluently.

"But……"

"I just like it. I know that you and Yuzhi have already made an engagement... But, just because of this, I have to say it in front of you, even if one person is missing. I don't want to be sneaky and make small moves without telling anyone. "

That's why I have to say it openly...? But have you ever considered——

"Oh? From what I mean, is someone accusing me of carrying out a surprise attack?"

Finally, Miss Xie spoke. She walked towards the two of them.

Yan Jingxing looked at her, the eldest lady's expression was as calm as ever. She was speaking rudely, but looking at her mood, she didn't seem too angry...? Instead, it feels like "as expected".

"No." Ji Chunzao shook his head, "You're not wrong, it's just that I'm too stupid, so it took me more time to figure it out."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly and agreed.

Eh? Just, that's it?
As if aware of Yan Jingxing's thoughts, Miss Xie's eyes fell on his face.

"What's that expression on your face? You think I'm not angry, so you're surprised?"

"Uh……"

"I have expected this, so I won't be angry. Jing Xing, you are so lacking in self-awareness. This has always been your problem. If I were angry because of this kind of thing, I would never have made an agreement with you from the beginning. engagement."

"This, this is it..."

"As for you, Chun Zao."

Her eyes fell on the curly-haired girl.

Ji Chunzao was a little nervous again after being stared at, but she quickly reacted, puffing out her chest as if to show her attitude, and looked at Xie Yuzhi without flinching.

"……snort."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Miss Xie's mouth, and she said in a tone that she didn't know whether she was joking or serious:
"Whatever you want to do is up to you. But if you feel sad in the future, it's not my fault."

"I...I won't lose...!"

Ji Chunzao raised his fist and shook it firmly.

Yan Jingxing watched blankly from the side as the two girls faced each other head-on. For a moment, he felt that he was the outsider.

*
In this way, the last conversation that took place in the secret base ended.

When walking down the mountain and leaving Shigang Village, the young people saw a luxury car speeding towards them from a distance and slowly stopping in front of them.

The window on the driver's seat was rolled down, revealing the face of a stunningly beautiful mature woman.

She was wearing large sunglasses, and her white skin and gorgeous hair were shining in the bright sunshine.

"Hello! How are you guys doing lately?"

The woman laughed cheerfully and waved to them.

"Qiu Qimeng...!"

Yan Jingxing was startled, and his companions beside him were also speechless.

"Why are you here?"

"Come here to visit you. I originally wanted to take a look at the scenery of the seaside town, but I can't do that now. What a pity."

Qiu Qimeng lifted the lens with the end of her thumb, revealing the blue contact lenses underneath, and the corners of her red lips outlined a charming arc.

"How about it? After remembering the past, are you planning to leave?"

"Yes, it is……"

"Then get in the car."

She pointed to the seat behind her.

"I'll give you a ride."

The young people looked at each other, but in the end they did not refuse her kindness.

……

In the summer of 2005, Yan Jingxing and his friends embarked on the road away from their hometown.

The place where they were left behind is called Baiyue Town. It is backed by green mountains and faces the sea. There are ports and fishing villages on the shore. It is a typical seaside town.

The car was driving smoothly on the road, and the cabin was shaking slightly and regularly.

The woman sitting in the driver's seat holds the steering wheel with a relaxed expression, and the warm summer breeze blows into the open window;
The young man sitting in the passenger seat held his chin in one hand and stared boredly at the identical highway scenery speeding past the window.

As he gradually cleared his mind, sleepiness naturally came to his mind, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Half asleep and half awake, he heard a ethereal singing voice, beautiful and ethereal, as clear as the lake in the mountains. It was the clear singing voice of a girl.

He vaguely thought it was the sound coming from the radio...but soon he realized that the singing was coming from beside him.

After waking up, Yan Jingxing turned around and saw that the curly-haired girl was lying on the window looking at the scenery, humming a tune with a bored expression, just like him.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but laugh.

"Speaking of which, aren't you the same as Jing Xing, who can transform and fly to your destination?"

The eldest lady sitting next to Ji Chunzao asked.

"When you grow up, you will know that sometimes you can enjoy life better by taking it a little slower."

The woman sitting in the driver's seat replied briskly.

Yan Jingxing only felt that on this point, the two of them did have something in common.

……

There was some overlap in impressions when I left and when I came back, but they were also distinctly different.

He could smell the fresh smell of the transpiration of the vegetation, mixed with the salty smell of the sea breeze blowing across his cheeks; the soft soil on the other side of the guardrail was like a huge, thick carpet, stretching forward endlessly.

The high-hanging sun poured out its blazing rays unstintingly, falling on his hair and shoulders, making him feel dizzy and hot all over.

The road winds like a long snake, the towering mountains, and the endless sea in the distance.

At the end of the horizon is the "line between sea and sky", where the intersection is a vast expanse of white. The sound of the rolling sea tide seems to be endless, and snow-white waves are constantly rolling up to the shore, leaving moist traces on the muddy shore.

In my ears, I heard a girl singing like a mermaid, floating in the wind.

He saw it all, heard it all, smelled it all.

Gradually, Yan Jingxing felt sleepy again, and his eyes slowly closed.

Perhaps it was because the young man was still confused about the future, so he saw that dream.

The midsummer sunshine burns quietly in this daytime dream. In the dream, the summer time in the seaside town continues and will never end...
