Chapter IX Category III Contact
"But this thing can be dangerous."
In the past, no matter what kind of alien creatures Ji Chunzao encountered, he would try to avoid their movements. She only dared to hide, and even pretended not to see like others.
She could only think about taking the initiative to contact extraterrestrial life, but none of them could really muster up the courage.
"Of course it's up to me, after all, I've seen it."
The boy in front of him agreed without hesitation. He comforted her in turn:
"Don't worry, I think it'll be fine."
โโฆโฆ Forget it. โ
Ji Chunzao stared into his eyes and suddenly changed his mind.
"Huh? What do you mean by forgetting it? โ
Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment.
In other words, there is no need to rush. Calm down and think again. At the very least, wait until you are mentally prepared......"
The little girl turned her head to mutter, and her voice grew softer and softer.
At the very least, I'll have to wait until I'm mentally prepared, she thought.
The partner who finally found it, she hasn't known each other for a few days, and if she encounters an accident because of her rash actions, she will definitely regret and die of sadness, and she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
So, it's better not to be too reckless.
"We're friends now, aren't we?"
She heard the boy say that.
"Of course!"
Ji Chunzao nodded hurriedly in reply, and then saw him suddenly lean his face closer and stare at her seriously.
"You can't hide it from me, my thoughts now are the same as yours, and I sincerely want to find the 'astronaut'. I'm going to see him again, and I don't know why, but I really have a premonition now. โ
"IโI know......"
The face is too close!
โโฆโฆ I won't hide it from you! Be prepared to be true. โ
She put her hands to her lips and pretended to be thoughtful.
"I have to think about what to do first, let's make an appointment and meet again. By the way, are you free on the weekend? โ
"Weekend? Okay. The boy didn't think about it, and agreed very simply.
"See you at the weekend, then." Ji Chunzao waved at him.
"Well, see you on the weekend."
It wasn't until she turned around and left that Yan Jingxing suddenly realized what she had promised.
Asking girls out on the weekend? This is definitely a bold act that I could not have imagined in the past......
It's all about scientific exploration, though.
How exciting it is to come into contact with aliens and extraterrestrial life! Has anyone seen Eยท Haven't the children of "T" fantasized about it?
He clenched his fists in anticipation and followed her out of the rooftop.
*
Time always passes the fastest before one knows it.
More than half a month has passed, and Yan Jingxing has become accustomed to the life of this seaside town and the new school.
On the appointed Sunday, the sky was clear, and the occasional soft cloud like cotton wool drifted overhead, making it a good day to go out.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yan Jingxing sat by the door to tie his shoes, Yan Yongzhi, who was brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth with a cup, walked out of the hall, saw him looking like he was about to go out, and asked a little strangely:
"Are you going out?"
"Hmm."
"Do you want to buy breakfast on the street? You don't have to bring it to me. โ
"It's not. I made an appointment with my classmates to go out. โ
"yes, I have friends so soon." Yan Yongzhi smiled very happily, "That's right, think about what I said at the time?" When you arrive in a new place, you can meet new classmates and new friends. โ
"Okay, you're right."
"By the way, I heard from a colleague that there is a private free library in the town, which may be smaller than the city library you used to go to, but the environment is still very good, do you want to go and see it?"
โโฆโฆ Okay, I'll go when I have time. โ
He loved to read, especially science fiction. But compared to the fictional story, he now can't wait to see the real supernatural beings.
Yan Jingxing fastened his sneakers, straightened up, and prepared to push the door out without looking back.
"Hey, wait," the uncle seemed to suddenly remember something, and stopped him from behind, "Jing Xing, who is that friend you are talking about, can you tell me about it?" It's from your class, maybe I know you. โ
Yan Yongzhi was a math teacher, but did not teach their class. He had just arrived, so he was arranged to teach from the first year of junior high school. Of course, the teachers are all in the same office, and there is a lot of communication with each other, and students are often called over, so it's not surprising that you know anyone.
Uncle has a natural attitude and asks casually; Yan Jingxing, who heard the question, was already frozen.
The reason why he tried to tell his uncle lightly that he was going out with his friends was that he didn't want the other party to ask too much detail.
โฆโฆ No way.
Although it is not that he can't perfunctory the past, Yan Jingxing has rarely lied to his guardian since he was sensible.
On the one hand, he felt that his uncle had to work and take care of him, which was already very hard, and he didn't want to make adults angry anymore; On the other hand, the consequences of such a lie are meaningless if they are revealed in hindsight.
Could it be that this time the two of them went out together, and they wouldn't deal with Ji Chunzao in the future? It's definitely impossible, so it's better to explain it to your uncle in advance so as not to misunderstand.
Yan Jingxing replied stiffly.
โโฆโฆ Her name is Ji Chunzao. You probably know that. โ
"Ji Chunzao? Spring algae ...... Well, I think I've heard someone talk about it, it's a little familiar......"
Uncle frowned and remembered where he had heard it, only to come back to his senses after half a ring.
"Wait, that's a girl's name, right?!"
โโฆโฆ Yes. โ
Yan Yongzhi was correcting the test papers all night yesterday, and he was so sleepy that he wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but when he heard this answer, he was awake.
"You're going out with girls on the weekend? Just the two of you? โ
Yan Yongzhi was not angry, but he felt incredible.
No one knows the character of the little nephew better than him. It's only been a few days in town, and you've learned to hook up with girls? He didn't believe it.
"Just the two of us."
Yan Jingxing sighed.
"But don't get me wrong. We're just hanging out together, not doing bad things. It's true. โ
โโฆโฆ If you really want to convince me, don't use the word 'play' and say it's better to study together. โ
The uncle touched his nose and looked helpless.
"Because it's really not learning. However, I think it's important......"
It's one thing not to lie, it's another thing to honestly say you're going to find aliens. Yan Jingxing knew that if he chose the latter, his uncle might have to take him to a psychiatric hospital.
"Alright."
Yan Yongzhi unceremoniously rubbed two handfuls of his nephew's head.
"The children's family, what is the pretending to be deep. Is there anything important that you can't tell the adults yet? โ
"Anyway, I just can't say it, it's my business with her." Yan Jingxing insisted, "Can I go?" โ
โโฆโฆ Go if you want. After thinking about it for a while, the uncle still relented, "Figure out what you are doing, and think about the results before making a decision, you can guarantee these two points." โ
Yan Jingxing smoothed out his messy hair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his guardian has always been open-minded and can listen to his own words.
Trust is mutual, he doesn't lie to adults, and his uncle is willing to believe him. This tacit understanding makes the uncle and nephew get along more like a pair of friends than an elder or a descendant.
"Oh yes, remember to come back early."
Before Yan Jing walked out of the door, Yan Yongzhi, who had already put on his glasses and was ready to continue working, poked his head out of the living room and reminded him.
"Good~"
The boy slammed the door shut.
โฆโฆ
Yan Jingxing soon came to the town.
Baiyue Town covers an area that is not small, but after removing the inaccessible seaside ports, highways and forest areas, the only thing that can really be regarded as lively and prosperous is the town center; Cinemas, department stores, markets, and commercial streets are concentrated here, and people in several nearby villages want to go out shopping or buy goods, but there is actually no other place to choose.
The place where I agreed to meet Ji Chunzao this time was next to the station in front of the movie theater that night.
Yan Jingxing soon saw the figure of the girl not far away.
He had arrived half an hour early, but he didn't expect her to come earlier than himself.
Surprisingly, unlike a boy like herself, who always wears two sets of school uniforms, the girl seems to be very aggressive, but she still changes her school uniform on her day off.
Ji Chunzao, who was sitting in the shade of the station, was wearing a water-blue spinning half-sleeved long skirt, revealing only a snow-white arm, and the skirt covering the ankles bloomed like a water lotus, adding a bit of demure and beautiful temperament to her.
In addition to the first meeting like a mermaid when he saw on the seaside road, Yan Jingxing clearly felt for the second time that his new friend was a young girl in the prime of life.
Ji Chunzao put his hands on his knees and was sitting on the bench obediently. She occasionally looked up at the vast summer sky; Occasionally look down, as if staring at the ground in a daze.
Anyone could tell she was waiting for someone. When the summer breeze lifted the girl's long wavy hair and ruffled her bangs, she reached out to smooth it, revealing a fair face that was no longer covered by the hair falling down, and her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and moving.
If she doesn't speak or move like she does now, she will clearly look like a lady.
Merely......
The season spring algae is still the season spring algae.
He looked a little dumbfounded, and it took him a while before he remembered to greet her.
At this moment, the girl suddenly got up, as if she had discovered something, and looked quite nervous; After looking around for a while, she walked quickly to a lamppost and half-crouched down, and like a thief-minded fool, she secretly looked at the door of a certain building.
โฆโฆ What's going on here?
Ji Chunzao may not realize how conspicuous her appearance is in the eyes of others, and her current posture is almost like a lame stalker in a movie, so that the curious eyes of people passing by are all attracted.
Although she couldn't understand the reason for doing this, Yan Jingxing still couldn't help but want to cover her face.
I always feel that with Chunzao, it is difficult to avoid the risk of being embarrassed......
After hesitating for a while, he still had to walk up to her and whisper to remind the other party of his arrival:
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Ji Chunzao's shoulders shrank, and he was almost startled again. Fortunately, she was already familiar with Yan Jingxing's voice, and soon realized who was coming.
"Shh
Rapunzel lifted her little face and made a silent gesture to him.
"Don't make too much noise, you'll be heard."
โโฆโฆ I know you're peeking. The question is, who are you looking at? โ
"Whoa."
Not far away, she pointed to a nondescript gray three-story building sandwiched between restaurants and newsstands.
"What's wrong with that place?"
"That's where some of the people in the school take cram classes."
โโฆโฆ I see. Yan Jingxing nodded.
In these years, extracurricular tutoring has not blossomed as everywhere as in later generations, but it is not a small number, and advertisements can be seen on the streets and alleys, especially in large cities with developed economic development and rich educational resources.
I didn't expect that there would be cram schools in a small town like Baiyue Town.
"I heard that Mr. Gao opened it with several other teachers in the school." Ji Chunzao continued.
"Teacher Gao? Our homeroom teacher? โ
He was really surprised this time.
"Wait a minute, you can't be stalking the teacher, are you? If Mr. Gao finds out, the two of us will go out together on the weekend......"
"Not really! The man was a student. โ
Ji Chunzao shook his head.
"It's because I'm worried that people I know will see that I have to hide."
"Oh~"
Yan Jingxing nodded.
"Who is it?"
The girl turned her head away in embarrassment, patted the dust on the water-colored skirt, and stood up.
"Is this important? More important than finding an astronaut? โ
He deliberately dragged out his tone and continued to ask.
"You, don't say that......" Ji Chunzao grabbed her bangs and wrapped her fingers around the hair ring, which she would subconsciously do when she felt embarrassed or embarrassed, "It's my roommate." โ
When Yan Jingxing heard this, he suddenly remembered something.
Of course, he remembered that night he and Haruza had snuck out of the dormitory building before the lights went out, and they had bumped into the head of the year.
Although the other party did not understand their actions, they still said that they would not make a small report.
The fact that they weren't called to the office afterwards proves that she's not cheating.
"Is it Xie Yuzhi?"
"Hmm."
"So, what the hell are you doing here peeking at her?"
"Actually, it's not a peek, it's just that I just bumped into her and entered the door. Because I didn't want to be seen by her, I subconsciously hid. โ
"That is, you're scared of her."
Yan Jingxing touched his chin.
"Why, I think it's your roommate, right? Is she usually bullying you? โ
Ji Chunzao shook his head vigorously.
"Of course not! Yuzhi, she took good care of me. That's actually my problem. How can I say it......"
She seemed to find it difficult to speak, her eyes wandered around, and her jade cheeks were slightly pink.
"Sometimes when I do something and am laughed at by the people around me, although she will not laugh at me like others, she will always look at me with a kind of 'hate iron is not steel'. I felt like she was like a strict mom, so I didn't dare to meet her outside. โ
"Oh~"
At this time, Yan Jingxing completely understood.
He even developed a subtle empathy for that Xie Yuzhi classmate.
"Y-Why do you look like 'I understand, I understand'? You can see aliens just like me, so you should understand me and stand by me, right? โ
"Some things have nothing to do with whether or not you can see aliens." Yan Jingxing shook his head and sighed, "You must know, just looking at your sneaky appearance, I also mustered up the courage to dare to approach." โ
Only then did Ji Chunzao notice the strange eyes of passers-by looking at him, his little face was red through "swish", and he took the initiative to grab Yan Jingxing's wrist and pull him away from this place quickly.
"Why didn't you warn me sooner......" she grumbled quietly.
"I'm afraid of disturbing you from doing business."
"Huh?"
"I thought that summoning aliens might have to be done through some strange rituals, like embarrassing people in front of many people......"
"How is that possible!"
