There are no stars in the night sky tonight.

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

The two of them left the entrance of the dormitory one after the other in front of everyone, and then walked side by side.

The long-haired girl next to her hummed a brisk tune, and her steps were as light as a fawn that had strayed into the schoolyard.

Yan Jingxing quietly looked at Ji Chunzao's side face with his peripheral vision, and saw the curvature of the corners of his mouth and the small dimples.

During the day, she didn't say a word, and her whole body exuded a gloomy aura, as if she had never existed at the moment.

"Haruzao, are you alright?"

He remembered his previous hesitation and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? What can I do. ”

Ji Chunzao turned his head and glanced at him a little strangely.

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

"That."

Her eyelashes were long and thick, and the moment her eyes drooped down, she covered the look in her pupils, and there was an indescribable depression; But this feeling was fleeting, and Ji Chunzao quickly raised his face with a disapproving expression.

"Actually, it's okay, I'm just glad now." She said, "I have to thank you for that." ”

"Huh?"

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

“……”

"You, you won't lose ......"

"No, it's all there." Yan Jingxing sighed.

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

"Please keep it for me for a while, I can't take it home yet."

"Okay."

The boy nodded earnestly.

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

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

He doesn't want to disappoint the other party.

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

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just think...... Although we didn't know each other very well that day, I was not wrong. ”

"Don't mess around." Yan Jingxing frowned, "I don't think the two of us know each other very well now. ”

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

The girl arched his arm with her elbow and smiled as cunning as a little fox.

As she approached him, he saw that her pupils were sparkling in the night. Yan Jingxing turned his head a little uncomfortably.

He remembered the stares his roommates had cast at him before leaving, and felt his face heat up.

"I didn't have time to react. You're walking fast, and I feel like I'm losing my face. ”

"Let's go? I'm running. It was a boys' dormitory, but I still went back in, and I really mustered up the courage. If it weren't for the sake of pulling you out......"

"Men's dormitory? Is this a problem for you? ”

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

"You still feel shy......"

Since the "great achievements" he had heard from his roommates before, Ji Chunzao's image suddenly became "tall" in his mind-

was dragged out of the dormitory by the arm in front of everyone, and his tone was somewhat yin and yang.

"For being able to shout 'UFOs are coming!' in front of the whole school!" of people, this level is easy, right? ”

"Y-How do you know ......."

Ji Chunzao stuttered suddenly.

"Tell you what someone else said."

Her momentum weakened.

“…… At that time, I really couldn't help it. I saw it, but it was too late. Afterwards, I still feel a little sad...... Especially since that day, no matter who I meet at school, the way they look at me is different. ”

That's for sure!

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

"And I couldn't sleep for days."

The little girl sighed quietly.

"Every time I get in bed, the events of that day come to mind unconsciously...... I couldn't help but roll around with my pillow and then I couldn't sleep. ”

So you really do.

It sounded like she was a little bit like a normal person again.

"But now that I've realised, these things have never been my problem. It's because they can't see aliens, and it's because I'm a fool, that causes this consequence. ”

Ji Chunzao took a deep breath with a resolute expression.

"I decided that from now on I would overcome this cowardice and learn to turn a blind eye to other people's eyes and do everything according to my ideas."

…… It's better not to overcome it, Yan Jingxing thought sincerely.

"It's thanks to you that you asked me that day, 'Wouldn't you be unwilling if what you said was true and you were taken as a liar?' To be honest, this question is really deafening, and that's what made me decide. ”

The girl clenched her little fists and shook it vigorously, her pretty face slightly red under the cover of her hair, but this time it was because she was excited.

“……”

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 them, calling them out.

"Wait."

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

Standing in front of them was a girl in pajamas, who probably didn't have time to change into her school uniform and hurried down.

Yan Jingxing blinked.

"Were you found when you came out?"

He asked quietly.

"No, no, but it was so big just now, maybe the dormitory manager already knows about it......"

Ji Chunzao also lowered his voice.

"No, the dormitory manager doesn't know yet."

The girl on the other side replied softly.

Her hair was black and supple, draped over her shoulders, her almond-like pupils were large and bright, and she was slightly taller than girls her age. Although he is still young, he already has a sense of beauty on his body, which is unforgettable.

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

It seems to be someone who knows.

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

At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, she took the stage to speak as a team leader.

At that time, this girl felt like she stood out from her peers, which was too conspicuous, so Yan Jingxing couldn't help but ask her name from her classmates, and learned that the other party was indeed a celebrity in the school.

Excellent in character and learning, well-off family, trusted by teachers and classmates, I heard that he can also play piano and ballet, and he is perfect in all aspects like a character in a fictional story.

He couldn't help but glance at the girl beside him again.

If she takes good care of the spring algae and puts it in the pile, it should have the same effect...... The two are even very similar in terms of their fame, although they are far from each other in terms of good or bad.

"Yuzhi, you, what are you doing here?"

Why are you stuttering again, what about your momentum just now?

"What are you doing here? That's a question I should ask you. ”

The other shook his head.

"It's already 9:20 p.m., and the dormitory manager is about to come on patrol. Are you picking this time to run out? ”

“…… It's not for me to decide. Ji Chunzao whispered.

"Why? …… Ah, I see. She began to sigh, "It's because of the so-called 'aliens' or something." ”

The girl's eyes fell on Yan Jingxing's body again.

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

"Yan Jingxing."

"I remember, you're a classmate who just transferred to another school, right?"

"Hmm."

"Nice to meet you. However, I have something I would like to warn about. ”

She raised her eyebrows slightly,

"Don't let this man lead you by the nose. You may have a good relationship with her, but you don't have to follow her to break the school rules, right? ”

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but turn his head, just looking at Ji Chunzao.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, he turned back and replied:

"It's my decision, it's none of her to do with it."

To be precise, for the sake of convention.

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

In the final analysis, it is because although he is not as outrageous in words and deeds as Ji Chunzao, there is still a sense of innocence in his heart.

If it was fake this time, he would be able to completely let go of that unrealistic delusion, Yan Jingxing thought.

If you are deceived, you can smoothly become a member of the group that treats Ji Chunzao as a weirdo.

"That's right."

Xie Yuzhi nodded.

She seemed to feel that she had nothing to say, and was about to turn and leave.

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

Ji Chunzao's attitude was cautious.

The brunette girl glanced at her.

"No, I won't."

She said.

"I don't have time to make a small report to anyone for this kind of trivial matter, and I think others are too. I'm tired and have to go back to sleep. ”

After dropping these words, Xie Yuzhi walked to the door of the dormitory building without looking back.

Looking at her back, Yan Jingxing couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Do you know her?"

"Well, she's my roommate."

Ji Chunzao patted his face in the refreshing night breeze blowing in his face, and became energetic again.

"Like I said, I don't have to pick a night out, but aliens will only show up at this time. You understand, right? ”

"It doesn't matter. I'm coming out with you. You just have to keep your promise and let me see it. ”

"Good. Then that's just a matter of ......"

"Wait, how are we going to get out?" He asked, "The doorman won't let you go out." ”

"Don't worry, there's a place on the playground that you can turn out, I'll take you there now."

Taking advantage of the night, the two quickly walked through the playground and came to the root of the wall in Ji Chunzao's mouth.

There is a circle of trees planted next to the school, and in some places the foliage is lush and the foliage rises over the walls. In one of them, the branches of the tree had fallen down entirely, just in time for people to borrow their strength to go up.

Ji Chunzao grabbed the branches, climbed the wall in three steps and two steps, his movements were so flexible that he looked like a habitual offender.

Yan Jingxing dragged the branch a few times to confirm the strength, and then stepped on the wall to climb with strength, and also successfully climbed over the wall.

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

The dim street lights make it difficult to penetrate the thick leaves overhead, enveloping the street beyond the walls in a deep atmosphere.

He jumped off the battlement, and his feet were covered with soft fallen leaves and dirt.

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

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

"I'm a local, so I'll show you around town. Although the shops are closed at night, the view is still very good. ”

Her expression was so happy and sincere that Yan Jingxing swallowed the words "Take me to confirm" that came to her lips.

…… In any case, this night he will be able to confirm whether the other party's words are true or false, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Yan Jingxing took a breath of the fresh air of the night, and suddenly realized how special this night was.

He has always been a good student and has never violated the teacher's words and the rules of the school; But today, he left school late at night and was about to go out on the street with a girl in his class.

Even Yan Jingxing himself was surprised by his boldness after coming back to his senses, and this change was so sudden that it happened unconsciously.

Just now, the captain said that he was "led by Ji Chunzao's nose", maybe that's really the case.

Anyone who knows will be aware of his "depravity", because originally only hopeless teenagers would do such things;

However, their purpose is so simple, so simple that it seems to be the naïve fantasy of children who have not yet gone to school......

"Then lead the way."

Yan Jingxing shook his head and shook off those chaotic thoughts.

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

"Okay~ You come with me."

Ji Chunzao hooked his hand with a smile on his face and took the lead in leaving this narrow street.

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

"Don't worry, I've got it."

Leaving the silent campus, leaving the street in the shade of trees, the cold white moonlight reflected in the glass windows of the buildings along the street, the dim street lights sprinkled on the sidewalks and bus stands, and the people and cars on the road faintly appeared and disappeared.

Boys and girls walk in the night, like walking under the dark water where the sun does not shine, and they embark on a journey to find aliens side by side.
