our secret base

Chapter 34 Being a Guest (Read More!)
On the morning of the second day of the weekend, the two got into the car sent by Miss Xie's family as agreed, and were about to go to her house.

The driver went to Chun Zao's house first, and then went to Yan Jingxing's house to pick him up.

It was still early at this time, and my uncle was still asleep in the room.After packing up and getting ready to go, Yan Jingxing saw the familiar black car parked on the road in front of his house.

So, he left a note explaining the situation on the dining table, and then tiptoed out of the house without disturbing anyone.

As soon as Yan Jingxing got into the car, he saw Ji Chunzao was already sitting there.

She was wearing a sky blue denim suspender skirt with a large white T-shirt inside, and two slender and long white legs were exposed under the skirt, and she was kicking wobbly.

The girl rested her chin in one hand and looked out of the car window. Wonderful and cheerful music flowed from her vermilion lips. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Although it is a melody that can be hummed casually, it is still pleasant to listen to when coupled with Chunzao's crisp and bright timbre like a mermaid.

Yan Jingxing supported the car door and took a deep breath.He listened to the softly sung ballad, and looked at the distant green hills shrouded in light morning mist.

At seven o'clock, the sun rising from the east jumped half a round on the top of the mountain, the clouds were illuminated by the faint light, the temperature was just right, and the breeze in the countryside was clear and refreshing——

Thinking about the next weekend spent with his friends, he felt that today is really a good day.

……

Yan Jingxing got into the car.

Ji Chunzao, who was staring out of the window in a daze, realized that someone had come in. She turned her head and saw him sitting down, and immediately leaned over affectionately.

"Jing Xing, good morning!"

"Well, good morning."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I boiled two white water eggs, and I have eaten them."

"Hey, this is not enough! I'll go to Yuzhi's house later, remember to eat more."

Ji Chunzao patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"……What's the meaning?"

Yan Jingxing was a little confused.

"Yesterday, Yuzhi and I talked on the phone for a long time, and then we talked about the matter that if we woke up too early the next morning, we might not have time to eat. Yuzhi told me that there is no need to worry about breakfast. meal!"

...After returning from the secret base yesterday, the two of you actually had a phone conversation.

Yan Jingxing felt envious and regretted that he could not participate.

But he can also understand that no matter what, girls always have some private common topics to talk about.

"So, I'm looking forward to it, and then I didn't eat anything this morning, and I didn't eat last night, so I reserved my stomach for today."

At the same time, Ji Chunzao was still talking endlessly about his plan to gather wool.

"..."

Yan Jingxing didn't know how to answer, but seeing her proudly puffed out her chest, with the expression of "I'm going to try my best to feed the rich and poor today", I felt even more speechless.

……

The car drove smoothly on the country road, and soon crossed the bridge deck connecting the village and town, and drove into the center of the town.

The number of people on the road gradually increased, and crowds could be seen in the direction of the vegetable market. Compared with this, the village where he and his uncle moved seemed secluded. If he went out early in the morning, he might not be able to bump into a single person after wandering around for a long time.

No one spoke in the car, and the peaceful atmosphere lasted for a while, Yan Jingxing secretly looked at the side cheeks of the girl beside him.

He just remembered something, and it might be a little sensitive to say it.

However, with the relationship between the two of them now, it shouldn't be a problem anymore, right?
"Chunzao, I have something to ask."

"what?"

Ji Chunzao turned his face, his thick eyelashes fluttered, and his bright pupils were full of curiosity.

"If you want to ask, just ask, I won't hide it from you."

"Oh, then I'll ask. Did you just come out of home? I just want to ask, your aunt... how did she treat you? Actually, I've been a little worried about you. "

"It's nothing. Auntie is a bit cold and save face. She will get angry when she thinks that my child is always embarrassing her outside."

Ji Chunzao lowered her head, and after a while she raised her head, showing a cheerful smile.

"Since the quarrel, she seems to not want to care about me now. Well, this is a good thing for me."

...Is it a good thing?

Maybe it was true for her.

Yan Jingxing did not continue this topic, but he had already made up his mind.

If Chunzao's family doesn't want to take care of her, then let her friends take care of her——

*
The car stopped in front of the mansion in the middle of the manor.

The door opened, and a slender figure hurried down the stairs to meet them.

Yan Jing got out of the car and was stunned when he saw Xie Yuzhi.

Miss Xie usually dresses very well outside of school, and her temperament is not like that of a junior high school student from a small town. At this moment, she looks like he and Chunzao are in a completely different world.

The girl pulled up her thick black hair, tied it with a wide-brimmed diamond-encrusted headband, and wore a white and elegant long dress, making her look like an independent princess in an old castle.

...How should I put it, when she just appeared in front of him like this, he even felt unrealistic.

"Wow, you look so pretty!"

Ji Chunzao, who is also a girl, doesn't have as many scruples as he does. She yells and jumps up excitedly.

"Ah, wait……"

Xie Yuzhi originally wanted to stop Ji Chunzao from hugging her arm, but failed without any surprise, so he had to sigh helplessly.

"This is my skirt from yesterday. I didn't have time to change it. I didn't even have time to take a shower, so don't get so close."

"What's the matter... By the way, why are you suddenly dressed like this? Are you going to some kind of banquet?"

"Well, in fact, I have already attended. There was a birthday party at someone else's house last night. I had made an appointment in advance, so I had to go."

"Just came back from the secret base, and you are going to the city? Your usual life seems to be very busy."

And even so, Miss Xie still has time to chat with Chunzao on the phone...

Xie Yuzhi raised the slender eyebrows that had been drawn, and that pretty face still had light makeup, showing a maturity unimaginable for this age group.

"Yeah, in the past, I was always making up lessons, or learning ballet, piano, and social etiquette. If I say I'm busy, I'm really busy," she said.

"It sounds very hard." Yan Jingxing said with emotion, this is a life he could not imagine from an ordinary family.

"...Hehe, it's actually okay. I'm just talking about it. After all, I'm used to this kind of life. And there are many people in this world who can't guarantee food and clothing. I'm lucky."

Xie Yuzhi clapped her hands and opened the door behind her.

"Okay, I've prepared breakfast for you, come in."

……

"Uh, are you sure this is breakfast?"

Yan Jingxing sat down at the edge of the long table, looking at the dazzling array of food in front of him, feeling like he didn't know where to start.

Incomprehensible bread, incomprehensible fish, incomprehensible soup, incomprehensible meat, incomprehensible sauce, placed on incomprehensible plates and dishes.

I always feel that just finding someone to explain the names and origins of these dishes can teach them a lesson.

"Yeah. What's the matter, isn't it to your liking? I specifically asked the chef not to make it too greasy."

Xie Yuzhi asked back with some doubts; on the other side, Ji Chunzao had already started to feast.

Noticing that she was a little clumsy with the knife and fork, the eldest lady greeted the people standing not far away, and gave him a soft instruction. The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave. After a while, he brought them two pairs of chopsticks.

"No, aside from the taste, the problem is that this amount is too much."

"Generally speaking, they won't show so many, but I have promised that Chunzao is a 'treat', so naturally it should be more generous."

Yan Jingxing stopped after eating some bread and sausage.As a junior high school boy who is in the development period, he actually has a good appetite, but he usually chooses to keep his stomach for lunch and dinner.

And sitting in this resplendent hall for dinner, he always felt that he couldn't let go.

As a result, the scene at the table soon turned into two people who stopped, staring blankly at Ji Chunzao eating by himself.

"Hey, Chunzao, don't eat so fast, no one will grab it from you."

Miss Xie watched and couldn't help showing a worried expression.

She brought her face closer and whispered in Yan Jingxing's ear:

"Chunzao's house... is everything okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"She looks very hungry. Could it be that her family didn't even feed her enough..."

When she asked this sentence, Xie Yuzhi's eyes were very serious, to the point of being a little scary.

"No, that's not the case. The relationship between Chunzao and her family is that kind of estranged. As for why she is hungry..."

Yan Jingxing sighed, and repeated what she said in the car.

"—Just for the breakfast I prepared, so you didn't even eat yesterday's dinner?"

Xie Yuzhi's strange expression at this time, presumably was exactly the same as his own expression when he was in the car.

"Really, if she wants to eat delicious food, she can come to my house every day...Even if I'm not here, people will prepare it in advance. In fact, she's fine even if she lives here all the time."

If Chunzao heard this, she would probably be very happy.Yan Jingxing thought to himself.

"And, you too."

"…Huh?" He froze for a moment.

"I mean, you can come to live in my house too. Anyway, there are still plenty of vacant rooms."

Miss Xie's lips rose slightly, it seemed that her invitation was sincere.

"..."

To be honest, he was quite excited.

When the two were talking, Xie Yuzhi took the initiative to lean her body closer, and the distance between them was unconsciously pulled closer to the point where her arms were next to her arms.

Yan Jingxing's gaze unconsciously swept across the girl's delicate white collarbone, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although Miss Xie said frankly that she didn't take a bath last night and rejected Ji Chunzao's affectionate hug, Yan Jingxing's nose could only smell a faint fragrance.

"...Forget it, I feel like I will be beaten by my uncle."

He collected himself and turned his head back.

"yes."

Xie Yuzhi seemed a little regretful.

She straightened up again, turned her gaze to Ji Chunzao, and found that the girl was still working hard there, couldn't help but began to sigh again.

"I still have to persuade her. Overeating is not good for your health."

"Let me do it."

Yan Jingxing coughed dryly.

"Spring algae?"

"Ok?"

Ji Chunzao responded vaguely, without looking up at all.

"Don't hold your stomach up."

In fact, Yan Jingxing knew very well that ordinary persuasion methods were of no use to Chun Zao, just look at her hand that didn't intend to stop at all.

"I'm doing it for your own good. Yuzhi just told me that she has prepared Chinese food for us, and it will be richer than breakfast. Are you sure you don't want to leave your stomach to eat?"

Before he finished speaking, the curly-haired girl stopped her hands. She put the chopsticks aside, slowly picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth. She leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed her belly with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll just eat this."

"..."

The remaining two looked at each other, speechless.

*
Xie Yuzhi's house has an entire courtyard that can be used for walking and digesting after meals. She led them around the manor, and then walked to her bedroom.

That place has now become, quite naturally, the meeting place for the Alien Search Team.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

As soon as she returned to her room, Xie Yuzhi immediately walked quickly to the desk and picked up a black document bag.

"I have asked people to restore all the materials obtained from the secret base as much as possible, including the writing on them. Here are photocopies."

While taking out the documents and distributing them to the two, she gave a brief explanation of the work she had done during this period.

"In order to prevent the information from leaking out, I specially recruited several different people to complete this matter. There are no professionals in this field in a small place like Baiyue Town, so I specially asked people to go to Jinjiang City archives and museums.”

There were other people in the manor house, and in front of them, Xie Yuzhi still maintained her usual elegant demeanor;
But after the bedroom door was closed, both Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao could see that she couldn't wait.

"After I received this item last night, I have been enduring my curiosity, because I wanted to share it with you at the first time, so I didn't open it. So..."

The eldest lady's eyes were as bright as jewels, shining brightly in the sun.

"Let's take a look together!"
