Yan Jingxing was walking back to his dormitory with his schoolbag on his back. The road he walked on gradually became familiar.

The lights in the teaching building were extinguished one by one as night fell, leaving only a few offices with lights on. The soothing yellow light penetrated through the glass windows, illuminating the interior warmly and brightly.

Lampposts cannot dispel all the darkness in the corner. Walking along the path under the shade of the trees, the tireless chirping of insects gradually fills the deep ambient sound. Occasionally, you can see a family of wild cats crossing the grass lightly without making any sound.

Yan Jingxing was a dormitory student. The same day his uncle completed the transfer procedures for him, he moved his luggage over. He usually only went back on weekends or two days.

In order to prevent accidents, the school does not allow students who live on campus to leave the campus, so at night, the busiest place is the dormitory building.

The building is divided into two sides for men and women. They are actually in the same building, but are separated by iron doors in the middle of the corridors on each side. They can only enter from the entrances on both sides.

After a day of classes, Yan Jing walked to the third floor, put his schoolbag on the table a little tired, and sat down to rest.

At this time, the roommate sleeping on the upper bunk stuck his head out and asked:

"Want to play cards later?"

Students living on campus are prohibited from bringing any electronic devices and entertainment supplies. However, students always have their own ways to compete with school rules and teachers, which is a must-have item in campus life.

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the hostel?"

"It's okay, just put your things away before the scheduled patrol."

Yan Jingxing waved his hand.

"I'll forget it. There are a lot of homework assignments today and I'll be back too late."

Although he had just transferred to another school, he quickly became familiar with his roommates. After all, they were all boys of the same age, with restless and restless hearts, experiencing the same environment, and caring about the same things.

.

Six people live in a dormitory, and only two of him are in the same class, and the rest are from other classes, but at this moment, they all smiled narrowly at him.

"Is it really because you have a lot of homework? Didn't you secretly date someone?"

"...What are you talking about?"

He frowned.

"I heard that you are very familiar with Ji Chunzao?"

"How come you even know this?"

"Of course I said it." The roommate in the same class showed no guilt for his gossiping behavior.

"But everyone has heard of Ji Chunzao's name before." Someone added, "He is a famous weirdo in the whole school."

"Do you still remember the time when she was most famous?"

They were suppressing laughter while communicating enthusiastically, and it seemed that they were indeed deeply impressed by the girl's outrageous behavior.

"Yes, yes, I remember, it seems to have happened last semester, right?"

"She won an award in the city's aerospace model competition. During the flag-raising ceremony, the school commended her and asked her to speak. But halfway through, she suddenly shouted into the microphone, 'UFO is coming soon! Everyone, hurry up.

Run away!', and then he jumped off the platform in a hurry and ran away before everyone could react. That was in front of all the teachers and students in the school..."

"..."

Yan Jingxing was speechless upon hearing this.

He had previously felt that Ji Chunzao had the aura of treating others as if they were nothing when pestering him, but he never expected that this person could actually do such a thing in public.

Is it too much?

Just imagining that scene made Yan Jingxing so embarrassed that his toes clenched to the ground. If it had been him, he might have been unable to help but recall it every night, and he would have been so embarrassed that he could not sleep due to tossing and turning.

This girl Ji Chunzao, both in terms of nerves and thickness of face, far exceeded his imagination...

"So, you two are really friends?"

someone asked.

"I see those things on your table are her things, right?"

"of course not."

Yan Jingxing immediately shook his head in denial.

He began to doubt whether his sudden agreement with Ji Chunzao was the right choice.

It's okay to play nonsense with her, but if you have to embarrass yourself with her, that's not worth it.

"Really? I heard that she is quite beautiful."

"Really? I didn't notice it at all."

"Aren't you in the same class as her?"

"But she always keeps her hair so long that it completely covers her face. She looks like a female ghost. No one can see her."

"Where is Jing Xing? You must have seen what she looks like, right?"

"..."

Can I say that when I first met her, I mistook her for a mermaid in the sea?

But he couldn't say this kind of thing in front of others, so he mumbled the topic.

*

Today's math questions were more difficult than usual. Yan Jingxing stared at the lamp in a daze, but his mind was no longer on his homework.

Speaking of which, he actually didn't see much of Ji Chunzao all day today.

Based on the sentence on the note and her words and deeds some time ago, it seems that the girl's aunt had a conflict and the things at home were thrown away. Therefore, after returning to school, she looked downcast.

Spirit.

What Yan Jingxing hesitated was, should he find a way to comfort her?

As for the relationship between the two, they are relatively familiar, but in fact they have only known each other for more than ten days. In the eyes of others, they appear to be close because Ji Chuncao is always getting closer to each other, but in fact they have never been "friends".

There is still a long way to go with this word.

As the saying goes, "a simple conversation makes a deep conversation". Even a junior high school student like him understands this truth. He and Ji Chunzao are not close enough to talk about family topics.

"...Let's go take a shower."

After hesitating for a long time and unable to come up with an answer, his head began to hurt. He decided to put the question aside for the time being.

…

The bathroom in the dormitory is public and is just downstairs.

After taking a shower, a refreshed Yan Jingxing returned to the dormitory and looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was already nine o'clock.

The school's prescribed lights-out time is ten o'clock, and the dormitory warden will come to patrol in half an hour. He was about to climb into bed, and the originally noisy corridor gradually became silent.

But at this moment, a burst of noise suddenly broke out outside the room.

He was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and went out, seeing more than one person from the dormitory coming out to check on the situation.

The entrance to the corridor was already crowded with curious people, and some people shouted excitedly:

"Yan Jingxing! Who is Yan Jingxing? Someone is looking for you!"

……ah?

Yan Jingxing opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Get out of the way!"

"Hey wait, I asked you to wait downstairs, why did you come up directly..."

I saw a girl with long hair running up the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time, nimbly passing through the crowd of spectators, and then rushed to the corridor in a hurry under the watch of a group of boys.

.

"309, that's it."

She ran out of breath and immediately saw Yan Jingxing standing blankly at the door.

"follow me."

The girl grabbed his wrist and pulled him to walk out.

"Wait, wait, where are you going?"

"Do you still have to ask?"

She turned her head and had a strange expression like "What are you talking about?"

"——Of course we are looking for aliens! Didn't we already agree?"

……I knew it.

Ji Chunzao's voice was clear and undisguised, allowing everyone in the corridor to hear her answer clearly.

You really shouldn't ask.

Under the astonished gazes of the bystanders, Yan Jingxing couldn't help but cover his face, feeling that he had indeed asked a stupid question.
Chapter completed!
