our secret base

Chapter 20 Late at night, at the home of a female classmate
"Uncle, it's raining heavily today, so I can't go back. Can I stay at my classmate's house for one night?"

"...It's too sudden. I don't want to object to you staying at someone else's house, but where are you? Shouldn't you be in the school dormitory now?"

On the other end of the phone, there was indescribable confusion in the uncle's tone.

Yan Jingxing held the microphone in one hand and scanned the surroundings. The room was decorated like a suite in a high-end hotel. It was spacious and clean. The white bed and sofa looked big and soft, and there were oil paintings hanging on the walls.

As for such rooms, in Xie Yuzhi's house, as far as he saw, there were more than a dozen upstairs on both sides of the hall.

It was already late, and coupled with the bad weather, there was deep darkness outside the closed French windows, and the sound of the wind blowing through the windows and the rain beating the eaves could be heard, like a mournful cry.

But the more it is in this kind of weather, it is easier to feel comfortable when you lock yourself in a safe and warm room, lie on the bed and relax, and listen to the sound of wind and rain outside the window.

Yan Jingxing thought about these things, while explaining to his uncle that he found out that his classmates had not returned to the dormitory, and wanted to go out with them to look for them, but it started to rain halfway, so he could only go to his companion's house if he couldn't go back to school ...

"Whose house are you at?"

"Xie Yuzhi, the one from class five."

"Xie Yuzhi... isn't she the team leader of your grade? No, why is she a girl again? How did you run into someone's house?"

Yan Yongzhi on the other end of the phone found it incredible.Because my nephew lives in the school and is not in the same class, so I don’t have many opportunities to get to know him, but it doesn’t mean that changing a new school is like changing a person, right?

Since coming to Baiyue Town, Yan Jingxing's interpersonal relationship has taken a 180-degree turn.

He was worried that his nephew would not be able to make friends after transferring to another school, but now it seems that the problem is that he is too good at making friends.

"Uh……"

Yan Jingxing didn't know how to answer.

"Just you and them?"

uncle asked again.

"And Ji Chunzao, the one I mentioned to you before."

"The one who went shopping with you last weekend? You stayed at a girl's house, with two girls? Plus you, a boy? Is there really no one else?"

"..."

Yan Jingxing fell silent, not knowing how to respond to his uncle's question.

At this time, he heard a knock on the door.

"Uncle, someone is knocking on the door, I'll hang up first."

"Hey, you boy, wait for me—"

"Don't worry, I will go back to school tomorrow."

After speaking, he felt a little guilty, so he simply hung up the phone.

Yan Jingxing walked towards the door.At this time, the thunder of "Boom!" sounded again outside the window, and the lightning cut through the night like a long knife of a god, and the blazing white light shone on the earth, leaving a short but vivid imprint on the glass window.

……

An hour ago, the three of them got into the car and drove along the coastal road to the town.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it got out of hand after ten minutes.

The summer rain always has a kind of irresponsible and violent momentum. The water falling from the sky is like an upside-down waterfall. The bumps along the way make the young people in the car feel like they are sitting on a small boat sailing on the stormy waves.

Fortunately, they arrived at their destination smoothly.The car drove into a manor not far from the town center.

That's right, "Manor"——from Yan Jingxing's understanding as a junior high school student, that's the only way he could describe it.

Because of the weather, he could barely see the iron fence at the entrance, and he confirmed that the area of ​​the entire manor was definitely not small.

Behind the house, looming in the dim view, was a vast forest, the trees shaking with the fierce wind and rain.

Then there is a paved concrete road with cobblestone paths, meadows and flower beds, and two fountains.Some places have not been built yet, but the main house in the middle alone looks exaggerated.

It was a building imitating Western-style buildings.The hall inside the door is resplendent and resplendent, almost like a filming scene showing the life of the upper class.

After getting off the car, someone led the way to the door. There were several people in the house, both men and women. Judging by their respectful attitude towards Xie Yuzhi, it seemed that they were all hired to serve her family.

It wasn't until a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper brought him to this bedroom that Yan Jingxing gradually came back to his senses.

Although he knew for a long time that Xie Yuzhi's life experience was not simple, but this kind of state like "the eldest lady in the TV series has traveled to reality" is still far beyond his imagination.

……

After talking on the phone with his uncle, Yan Jingxing walked towards the door of the room.

The one waiting at the door was none other than Xie Yuzhi.

She had already taken off her school uniform and changed into home clothes: a half-open white short-sleeved round-neck dress with a tie made of a deep purple ribbon tied on the chest, the skirt hanging down to her knees, revealing a smooth and white arms and legs.

The black hair draped behind the girl's shoulders was damp, and the soft ends of the hair reflected a faint hazy halo under the light, and there was a cute pink bunny hairpin on her forehead.

This outfit looked cute and youthful, quite different from the usual demeanor of the captain's classmate, even her stern eyebrows and eyes, which were always stern like a little adult, seemed softer.

"Have you been waiting long?"

However, Xie Yuzhi's face was still expressionless as usual, she asked softly.

"……fine."

Yan Jingxing was a little dazed looking at the girl with a completely new image and temperament in front of him.

After being drenched, the first thing the three of them did when they returned to their accommodation was to change their clothes.He is a boy, so the washing is efficient; and the two of them are girls, and they both have long hair, so it takes longer.

However, the water in this place is really comfortable.According to the housekeeper, the hot water used for the shower head here is not ordinary water, but the hot spring water dug down the mountain. It is said that there used to be a sanatorium for cadres.

"I asked someone to prepare dinner, and it will be delivered directly to my room later, so you can come with me."

Xie Yuzhi asked.

"Have you talked to Teacher Yan?"

She knew that his uncle was working as a teacher in an experimental middle school.

"I've said it." Yan Jingxing sighed, "He thinks it's... how should I put it, it's a bit strange for me to stay with the two girls and spend the night at someone else's house."

Xie Yuzhi blinked, showing a dazed expression.

"...It was my negligence."

"It's okay, I've already agreed. Anyway, depending on the weather, I'm sure I won't be able to go back."

"I'll go and explain it with you tomorrow."

The girl said seriously.

"Adults are willing to believe my words, because I have both good character and learning, and I am good-looking."

"..."

Sometimes, she would say something that others didn't know how to answer.

……

Ji Chunzao was already waiting in the room, and Xie Yuzhi came here specifically to find him.

Walking through the big red soft carpet, there are snow-white walls on both sides, and a crystal chandelier hangs down at a certain distance, and the lights are bright.Yan Jingxing couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"You are really a lady from a rich family."

"It's just a local rich man in the countryside."

When Xie Yuzhi talked about this topic, his tone was a bit strange to him, it was neither unhappy nor disgusted, more like tired.

"The first thing you feel when you see this place is that it looks like a scene from a foreign movie, right?"

"Yes."

"That's right, because my father came to find people to build this place according to the way he wanted, all from the movies."

The girl sighed.

"The more upstart you are, the more you like this kind of superficial work, it's not suitable for living at all."

"...Isn't this your home?"

"No, this place is going to be used as a tourist attraction and hotel in the future, but it hasn't been built yet, and the progress of the project is slow. Because I have to go to school nearby, I will temporarily move to this place. After all, there are usually no other people Come. You and Ji Chunzao are the first guests here."

Xie Yuzhi stopped at the door of one of them.

"We have arrived."

……

Although the bedroom he stayed in had already opened his eyes, he still couldn't help being shocked when he saw the room that belonged to Xie Yuzhi himself.

First of all, it is spacious. At first glance, I thought it was a hall.The bed is as big as a princess in a fairy tale palace, with white spun yarn hanging down and a huge stuffed bear.

Noticing Yan Jingxing's strange eyes, Xie Yuzhi explained:

"I didn't buy that bear, it was there from the beginning."

"It's okay, even if it's yours, I don't think there is anything."

"No, that's not what it means. You know, in such a big room, I usually sleep alone. So sometimes when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, I see such a big, inhuman thing staring at me beside the bed. , will only make people feel very scared.”

……It really is.

"Jing Xing! You are here."

Ji Chunzao was sitting on the sofa, shaking his calf, when he saw the two of them walking in, he immediately waved happily to them.

She was wearing ordinary clothes similar to Xie Yuzhi's style, probably lent to her by her classmates after taking a shower, and her hair was also damp.

Xie Yuzhi sat down beside Ji Chunzao.

The two girls had slightly curly long hair and the other soft long straight hair, and their snow-white skin was moist and watery under the light, complementing each other. When they sat side by side, Yan Jingxing almost thought that what he saw was a pair of sisters .

"What's the matter? Sit down too."

"it is good."

Yan Jing walked to the sofa opposite, and the three sat facing each other, looking at each other.

Uncle's doubts on the phone suddenly became vivid at this moment——

He didn't take it seriously at first, until he actually stayed in a boudoir with two girls of the same age, he didn't think it seemed weird.

There was a dark fragrance floating in the air, or two different fragrances mixed together, which made people feel itchy.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help feeling "restless".

But neither Ji Chunzao nor Xie Yuzhi seemed to care about this situation, their attitude was relaxed and natural.

The team leader picked up the notebook and pen that had been prepared earlier, cleared his throat, and said:

"Then, the first temporary collective meeting of the 'Looking for Aliens' special group of Baiyue Town Experimental Middle School was held in my bedroom. This meeting is mainly to discuss the work in the next period of time..."

"Etc., etc."

Ji Chunzao was still nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice, but Yan Jingxing couldn't help it anymore.

"Why did the meeting start all of a sudden? Also, that so-and-so 'Looking for Aliens'—"

"Yes, the 'Looking for Aliens' special group." Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly, and replied seriously, "It was also established today, and the members include you, Ji Chunzao, and me. There is currently no plan to expand the membership."

Suddenly he was pulled into a strange organization.

Yan Jingxing sighed and said:

"I'm a little strange, why you suddenly..."

"Suddenly acting so caring?"

Xie Yuzhi stared into his eyes with burning eyes.

"This question is actually because I want to ask the two of you in reverse. For a 'diehard' like me who has always refused to believe your words, your previous performance seems to be too persistent. Is it my illusion?"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao looked at each other.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Chunzao because you were the only one who helped her at school in the past, and she wanted your approval. As for me..."

He related the contents of the dream, and added:
"Actually, I'm not sure. I can't see the faces of the two women in that tower. It's just a feeling. I always think that's what you and Chunzao will look like when they grow up, but there is no other evidence. After all, that Just a dream."

"Oh……"

While listening to his narration, although Xie Yuzhi's expression was still very serious, unconsciously, the corners of her mouth were still involuntarily raised.

"That's interesting. Let me sum it up. Both of you can see alien creatures, but besides that, there exists a 'ghost astronaut' that only Jing Xing can see, and it is he who guides you to see the The future me and Chunzao...hehe, it's really interesting."

The girl took a quick note on the paper with a pen, and then put the pen and paper on the coffee table with a "snap".

"Thank you for your information, Jing Xing, this is very important to me."

Xie Yuzhi raised her head, her pair of lacquer-like bright eyes became even more radiant.

"Uh, what...?" Yan Jingxing was a little confused.

"It's simple, Chunzao is 'special', isn't it? And the fact that Chunzao and I appeared in the dream together means that in a way, I'm as special as she is. I thought I wasn't If you try to see aliens, you may not be able to keep up with the two of you, or you may even be left behind, but your words give me confidence."

She raised her jade finger, pointed at Chunzao, pointed at herself, and then landed on Yan Jingxing.

"—And you, although you did not appear in the future, you are the one who can 'see the future'. In other words, you Yan Jingxing, her Ji Chunzao, and me Xie Yuzhi, the three people in the group all It's 'special' and that's why I'm happy."

Xie Yuzhi's tone was high and her speech speeded up, even her cold white cheeks were slightly flushed, it seemed that she was not lying when she said that she was happy.

"But it's all just my dream..."

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but said.

"But we didn't know each other well at that time, why did you dream of me? Are you the type who just met a girl once, and when you don't know anything about it, you treat her as the lover of your dreams?"

Xie Yuzhi's rebuttal was very reasonable—the reason was that if he admitted it, he would be the one who would be ashamed.

"Also, since I have something to do with that ghost astronaut, I don't think things will be easy. I have asked Chunzao just now, it is always true that 'he' can drive away the 'spiritual body leeches', this is Both of you can confirm that, can't you?"

Seeing that Yan Jingxing had no words to refute, the girl continued.

"Since Jing Xing is willing to share such an important matter with me, I don't think I should hide it. Chunzao started looking for aliens by looking for the truth about the disappearance of his parents in the past. What about you?"

"Uh, I'm quite interested in this aspect, and I got to know Chunzao..."

"I see, I'm interested."

Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly.

"Then, what I want to tell you two is my motivation for trying to get involved in this matter, in short—"

She let out a breath, her eyes were more serious than ever before.

"I wanted something that would be enough to fulfill my desires...even 'subvert reality.'"
