our secret base

Chapter 5 The Wonderful Night of Baiyue Town
There are no stars in the night sky tonight.

The cold moonlight shrouded the long road, and the shadows of the whirling trees swayed and rustled in the wind.

The two left the entrance of the dormitory under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then walked side by side.

The long-haired girl beside her was humming a light tune, walking lightly like a deer that strayed into the campus.

Yan Jingxing quietly looked at Ji Chunzao's profile from the corner of his eye, and saw the curved corners of his mouth and small dimples.

When she was in class during the day, she didn't say a word, and her whole body exuded a gloomy atmosphere, as if she had never existed at this moment.

"Chunzao, are you alright?"

He remembered the hesitation before and couldn't help asking.

"Huh? What can I do."

Ji Chunzao turned his head and gave him a strange look.

"Didn't you say today that everything in the house was..."

"that."

Her eyelashes are long and thick, and when the eyelids are lowered for a moment, the expression in the pupils is covered, and there is an indescribable depression; but this feeling is fleeting, Ji Chunzao quickly raised his face, with a look of disbelief happy expression.

"Actually, it's okay. I just feel lucky now." She said, "I have to thank you for this."

"what?"

"Didn't I leave all the most important things to you for safekeeping?"

"..."

"You, you will never lose..."

"No, put them there properly." Yan Jingxing sighed.

Those books, dolls and models were very important to Ji Chunzao, but he didn't know it at the time.

"You can keep it for me for a while, I can't take it home now."

"it is good."

The boy nodded seriously.

He decided to take all these things home and find a place to keep them safe.

It may not be worth mentioning to others, but it is an irreplaceable treasure to myself - Yan Jingxing has also experienced this kind of thing.

Comparing his heart with his heart, he doesn't want to let the other party down.

Ji Chunzao looked into his eyes, and after being quiet for a while, she suddenly smiled happily.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel... Even though we didn't know each other very well that day, I did see the right person."

"Don't mess with each other." Yan Jingxing frowned, "I don't think we are very familiar with each other now."

"Hey~ You came out with me obediently, and you still say such things?"

The girl arched his arm with her elbow, smiling slyly like a little fox.

When she approached him, he saw those bright pupils shining in the night.Yan Jingxing turned his head uncomfortably.

He thought of the eyes his roommates cast on him before he left, and felt his face was getting hot.

"I didn't have time to react at all. You walked so fast, I feel ashamed."

"Go? I was running. That's the boys' dormitory. I still headed back in. I mustered up the courage. If it wasn't for pulling you out..."

"Boys' dorm? Is this a problem for you?"

"Of course it's a problem! I'd be shy."

"You still feel shy..."

Ever since he heard about the "great achievements" from his roommates, Ji Chunzao's image suddenly became "big" in his mind——

Being dragged out of the dormitory by his arms in full view of everyone, his tone was somewhat eccentric.

"For someone who can shout 'UFO is coming!' in front of the whole school, isn't that easy?"

"You, how do you know..."

Ji Chunzao stuttered all of a sudden.

"Someone told you."

Her momentum weakened.

"... At that time, there was really nothing I could do. I saw it, but the time was too late. Afterwards, I still felt a little sad... Especially since that day, no matter who I met in school, they looked at me. It's different."

That's for sure!

Yan Jingxing felt that from that day on, Ji Chunzao had become a wonderful flower in the hearts of the teachers and students of Baiyue Town Experimental Middle School.

"Also, I couldn't sleep for several nights."

The little girl sighed softly.

"Every time I lie on the bed, the events of that day will unconsciously come to my mind...I can't help but roll around with my pillow, and then I can't fall asleep."

So you really will.

It sounds like she's a little bit more normal again.

"However, now I have realized that these things have never been my problem. They can't see the aliens and treat me as a fool, which will cause this result."

Ji Chunzao took a deep breath with a firm expression on his face.

"I decided to overcome this cowardly mentality from now on, learn to turn a blind eye to other people's sights, and everything will follow my ideas."

...You'd better not get over it, Yan Jingxing thought sincerely.

"It's still thanks to you. You asked me that day 'If what you said is true but you are treated as a liar, wouldn't you be reconciled?', to be honest, this question was really deafening, and it made me make up my mind."

The girl clenched her small fist and shook it vigorously, her pretty face under the cover of her hair was slightly red, but this time it was because of excitement.

"..."

Yan Jingxing didn't know how to respond, so he decided to shut up.

……

Just as they were about to leave the vicinity of the dormitory building, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind and stopped them.

"and many more."

Someone ran out from the entrance on the girl's side, and the sound of footsteps approached quickly.They were stopped before leaving.

Standing in front of them was a girl in pajamas. She probably ran down in a hurry before changing into her school uniform.

Yan Jingxing blinked.

"Did you get caught when you came out?"

he asked quietly.

"No, no, but there was such a big commotion just now, maybe the housekeeper already knows..."

Ji Chunzao also lowered his voice.

"No, the housekeeper doesn't know yet."

The girl opposite answered softly.

Her hair is black and smooth, falling on her shoulders, her almond-shaped pupils are big and bright, and she is slightly taller than girls of the same age.Although he is still young, he already has a kind of sensual beauty, which is unforgettable.

After she appeared, Yan Jingxing noticed Ji Chunzao's surprised and bewildered expression.

Looks like someone I know.

However, in fact, even as a transfer student, he knew each other.

At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, she spoke on stage as the captain of the brigade.

At that time, this girl stood out from the group of her peers, she was too conspicuous, so Yan Jingxing couldn't help but asked her classmate her name, and learned that the other party was indeed a celebrity in the school.

Excellent in character and learning, with a good family background, deeply trusted by teachers and classmates, I heard that he can play piano and ballet, and he is perfect in every way like a character in a fictional story.

He couldn't help but glanced at the girl next to him again.

If Chunzao takes good care of her and puts her in the crowd, it should have the same effect... The two are even similar in their fame, although they are completely different in terms of good and bad.

"Yuzhi, what are you doing here?"

Why are you stuttering again? What about your momentum just now?

"What are you doing here? I should ask you this question."

The other party shook his head.

"It's already [-]:[-] in the evening, and the housekeeper will come to patrol soon. You choose this time to run out?"

"...It's not up to me to decide." Ji Chunzao said in a low voice.

"Why? . . . Ah, I see." She began to sigh. "It's because of the so-called 'alien' thing again."

The girl's eyes fell on Yan Jingxing again.

"Hi, I'm Xie Yuzhi. You are..."

"Yan Jing Xing."

"I remembered, are you a classmate who just transferred?"

"Ah."

"Nice to meet you. However, there is one thing I want to remind you."

She raised her eyebrows slightly,
"Don't be led by this person. You may have a good relationship with her, but you don't have to follow her to violate school rules, right?"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help turning his head away, just in time to look at Ji Chunzao in blank dismay.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, he turned back again and replied:

"It's my decision, it has nothing to do with her."

To be precise, it is for an agreement.

The connection between the two is on the topic of aliens.

In the final analysis, it was because although he was not as outrageous as Ji Chunzao in his words and deeds, there was still a naivety deep in his heart.

If it was a fake this time, he could completely let go of that unrealistic delusion, Yan Jingxing thought.

Being deceived, he can smoothly become a member of the group that regards Ji Chunzao as a weirdo.

"That's it."

Xie Yuzhi nodded.

She seemed to have nothing to say, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Do you want to talk to the housekeeper...?"

Ji Chunzao's attitude is cautious.

The dark-haired girl glanced at her.

"No, I will not."

she says.

"I don't have time to snitch on such trivial matters, and I don't think anyone else does either. I'm tired and I'm going back to bed."

After leaving these words, Xie Yuzhi walked towards the door of the dormitory without looking back.

Looking at her back, Yan Jingxing couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"do you know her?"

"Well, she's my roommate."

Ji Chunzao patted his face in the refreshing night wind blowing in front of him, and became energetic again.

"Like I just said, I don't have to go out at night, but aliens only show up at this time. Do you understand?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll come out with you. You just need to abide by the agreement and let me see it."

"Very well. The only problem left is..."

"Wait, how do we go out?" He asked, "The guards must not let them go out."

"Don't worry, there is a place on the playground where you can dig out, and I'll take you there now."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two quickly crossed the playground and came to the base of the wall that Ji Chunzao was talking about.

There is a circle of trees planted next to the school, and in some places, the branches and leaves are lush and spread over the wall.In one of them, the whole branch has drooped down, just enough for people to use their strength to climb up.

Ji Chunzao grabbed the branches and climbed up the wall in three steps at a time. His movements were unbelievably flexible, and he looked like a habitual criminal.

Yan Jingxing pulled the branches a few times to confirm the strength, then stepped on the wall to use his strength to climb, and also successfully climbed over the wall.

Next to it was the canopy of the tree, and he raised his arms to cover his face to avoid being scratched by the branches.

Dim street lights can hardly penetrate the thick leaves above the head, making the street outside the wall shrouded in a deep atmosphere.

He jumped off the wall stack, and his feet were soft fallen leaves and dirt.

"By the way, you just moved here recently, right?"

The girl who fell on the ground stood up, she clapped her hands, turned her head and said to herself:

"I'm a local, and I'll show you around the town by the way. Although the shops are closed at night, the scenery is still very good."

Her expression was so happy and sincere that Yan Jingxing swallowed the words "quickly take me to prove it" that came to his lips.

...In any case, this evening he will be able to confirm whether the other party's words are true or not, so there is no need to rush.

Yan Jingxing took a breath of fresh air late at night, and suddenly realized the specialness of this night.

He has always been a good student, and has never violated the teacher's words and school rules; but today, he left school in the middle of the night, and was about to wander the streets with a girl from the same class.

Even Yan Jingxing himself was amazed at his boldness when he came back to his senses, and this change was so sudden that it happened without knowing it.

Just now the classmate of the team leader said that he was "led by the nose by Ji Chunzao", maybe it was true.

Anyone who knows it will realize his "depravity", because originally only hopeless teenagers would do this kind of thing;
However, their purpose is so pure, so pure that it looks like a naive fantasy that only children who have not yet gone to school have...

"Let's lead the way then."

Yan Jingxing shook his head, shaking off those chaotic thoughts.

Now that he's out there, let's keep going.

"Okay~ you come with me."

Ji Chunzao hooked him with a smile on his face, and left the long and narrow street first.

"Don't go too far, we'll be back."

"Don't worry, I know."

Leaving the quiet campus and the tree-shaded streets, the glass windows of the buildings along the street reflect the cold white moonlight, the dim street lights are sprinkled on the sidewalks and bus stop signs, people and cars on the road appear and disappear faintly .

Boys and girls walked in the night, as if they were walking under dark water where the sun could not shine. They embarked on a journey of searching for aliens side by side.
