Seeing their children making messy things all day long, wouldn’t her family care?

Doubts were doubts. No matter what, Yan Jingxing was still very glad that Xie Yuzhi could join them. Otherwise, with his and Ji Chunzao's abilities, it would be impossible to complete this work after one semester.

...However, Miss Xie herself still looked dissatisfied.

"It's too hasty. When comparing the pictures of the spacesuit and the paper materials found in the hole, the damage was greater than expected. I could only find someone who specializes in paper restoration in the archives and fumigation

methods to separate the pages—all of which take time.”

"So, we couldn't wait and came here first. We're not really going to launch the UFO. Aren't you curious and don't want to come to the secret base to see what's going on? Chun Zao has been talking about this every day for the past two days.

It made me almost stay away from my classmates."

"...Of course I am curious." Xie Yuzhi began to mutter in a low voice, "But even if it is just the preliminary preparation, I feel that it is very insufficient. There is too little information about the so-called 'another planet', and the UFO cabin

Due to the internal area limit, my ability can only achieve this level."

"You are too serious."

Yan Jingxing comforted him from the side.

"How can you not be serious? If you really want to go to another planet, you can never be too cautious..."

She sighed quietly.

"Now I kind of hope this flying saucer is fake."

"Why?"

"Because, this matter is not only related to my life. I can't let go."

The expression on the eldest lady's face was a bit subtle, as if she was having trouble with herself.

"Should I go in first?"

On the other side, Ji Chunzao not far away had already opened the entrance of the UFO with great interest.

"Put on your clothes and put your things away."

Xie Yuzhi turned around and warned again. She had also written down the precautions before so that the three of them could remember them.

"How about you learn from her and be more relaxed?"

Yan Jingxing said with a smile.

"Like spring algae?" Xie Yuzhi shook her head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in my lifetime."

She stared at Ji Chunzao's back, and the emotions in her eyes were complicated that he couldn't understand.

…

The three of them entered the UFO one after another.

"Don't be nervous. This time we are actually here to transfer equipment and test the internal environment. We may not know how to use this machine specifically until the data is restored. At the very least, it must be connected to a suitable energy input device before it can be started.

machine."

"I, I'm not nervous..."

"Your voice is trembling when you speak."

Xie Yuzhi, who was carrying an oxygen bottle and a mountaineering bag, was the last to enter. She placed a telegraph satellite clock and a Hertime camera in a corner near the UFO, adjusted her watch and shoulder straps, and then went deep into the room.

Taking a breath, he squatted down and crawled into the hole.

"There is a drawer here that seems to be suitable for storing things. Let me help you get it."

"good."

The cabin was pitch dark, you couldn't see your fingers, and the space was not spacious. The young people were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

"..."

When no one spoke, the cabin was extremely quiet.

Xie Yuzhi raised her hand and glanced at the luminous watch.

"Thirty minutes, we will go out in thirty minutes. If you feel unwell during the journey, you must inform us in advance. Do you understand?"

She didn't say "don't touch the buttons" or anything like that, because there was no such thing inside the UFO.

"Um."

"good."

After hearing the responses from her companions, her mood calmed down a little.

Xie Yuzhi raised her head and looked up into the empty darkness.

Of course she knew that it was the curved metal roof of the flying saucer, which could be touched by stretching out her hand; but she still preferred to imagine it as a roofless passage leading to the vast starry sky.

The girl couldn't help but think:

"Can this UFO really take us across the universe, across the galaxy, to another planet who knows how many light-years away?"

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

How is that possible...

That is something that is completely impossible with modern human aerospace technology, so people are willing to fantasize and describe the vast universe over and over again in fictional stories.

But imagination is imagination, reality is reality.

She always hated people who confused the two together, but during the past few days with them, she felt like she was living in a dream.

That’s why I couldn’t help but start dreaming together that dream I thought I had forgotten——

"Well, let's hold hands, okay?"

At this time, Xie Yuzhi suddenly heard another girl suggest.

"Why so sudden?"

The silence in the darkness lasted for a moment, and she heard the boy ask.

"Is there any reason?"

She heard herself asking in a tone that was too calm to be true.

"No, there's no reason... I just suddenly wanted to do this."

Ji Chunzao answered in a low voice.

"Ah, could it be that you are scared?"

"Not at all!"

…That’s it.

However, it is no wonder. When people are in the dark, it is easy to have all kinds of messy thoughts.

Although Xie Yuzhi didn't feel scared, her worry and nervousness at the moment were definitely not fake.

She heard Yan Jingxing laugh and then replied:

"I don't care, but it depends on what Xie Yuzhi wants."

It’s just with Chunzao, but you want to hold hands with a boy? You’re not a primary school student.

"It doesn't matter to me either."

However, she heard herself agree without hesitation.

This reaction obviously surprised Yan Jingxing. After a while, she heard him say hesitantly:

"...Okay, then..."

She clearly felt that there was a body temperature on both sides slowly approaching.

The two hands she placed on her body were gently grasped by the hands of the other two people who were groping for them, and then held up.

One hand is small, soft, and seems a bit timid; the other hand is rougher, but the force coming from it is very strong.

The three people in the darkness really held hands together.

Xie Yuzhi pursed her lips.

How strange, she thought.

It was obviously just such a small gesture, but it seemed to have some magical effect, making most of the haze lingering in her heart disappear immediately.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a shocking loud noise came from above, as if lightning and thunder were brewing in the cave, enough to set off a storm.

"Whoaaah!"

"What, what's wrong?"

She heard both of them shouting and trembling came from their hands, so she quickly said:

"Everyone, calm down..."

"Bang--"
