Author: A Clockwork Orange Dream

So, the time came to the next day——

Yan Jingxing lay listlessly on the table, his consciousness half asleep and half awake, and he didn't even hear anyone calling his name.

He, who has always been a good student, fell asleep during class for the first time.

As a result, yesterday, Ji Chunzao and I searched for the astronauts all night, but no trace was found.

With such a large body, it is impossible to miss it. We can only think that "he" has truly disappeared out of thin air.

Yan Jingxing recalled the situation at that time. After the giant astronaut crushed the insect swarm, he walked across more than half of the screening room in one step. When he wanted to turn around to see what was going on behind him, he could no longer see anything.

While wandering around, Yan Jingxing quickly felt tired. Although he felt unwilling to get nothing, sleepiness had already entered his mind uncontrollably.

"Aha……"

Ji Chunzao, who was walking next to him, covered his small mouth, but he still couldn't avoid yawning. His whole person looked weak, which was in stark contrast to the arrogant look he had when he asked himself to find the astronauts.

It seems that she doesn't have the habit of staying up late like him.

Yan Jingxing watched her yawning uncontrollably while wiping away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Her sleepy look was a bit cute.

"Let's go back?"

"...Well, let's go back."

She nodded.

…

The boys and girls didn't sneak back to school until early in the morning, climbed over the door wall again, and said goodbye at the bottom of the dormitory building.

After returning to the house, the roommates who were waiting to watch him have already fallen asleep, but they did not disturb him.

But Yan Jingxing himself couldn't sleep at all.

He was very sleepy when he came back, but felt energetic again as soon as he lay down on the bed. While he was tossing and turning, everything he had experienced that night was replayed in his mind.

A night full of fantasy.

It's like all the dreams you once had have become reality, a magnificent adventure.

Witnessing the scene of alien creatures eating human brains for the first time, and the mysterious existence full of oppression, greatly stimulated his spirit.

Excitement, confusion, curiosity, a little panic, confusion, and complex emotions flowed in my heart, gradually converging into one——

After struggling with the Sandman for a long time, Yan Jingxing, who was exhausted, finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

Then, it's now.

"well……"

He covered his forehead and looked at the exercise book in front of him a little worried.

During the first class, he was called on by the teacher. Although the other party was not very angry, after all, Yan Jingxing's performance in the past had always been very good, and people just thought that he was unwell occasionally; but if the teacher went back, and his classmates

If the uncle in the office makes a "little report", he will definitely be nagged for a long time when he comes home on the weekend.

"Good morning, Jing Xing."

Ji Chunzao staggered to his side and said hello to him.

The seaweed-like hair fell down in front, covering the girl's face, but the tiredness revealed in her tone was exactly the same as his.

She looked around and found that everyone was there, so she turned back and dragged her chair over, and sat down next to Yan Jingxing's desk.

Since last night's experience, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer. It has become natural for the girl to do this kind of action, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

"Let's make an appointment to find him again."

That's what she said at the beginning.

"Is there anything you can do? I agreed in advance that I can only see, but nothing else."

"No. I can't even see it."

"Then save your money and continue wandering around like a headless fly. There will be no results. It will be a complete waste of effort."

"Same feeling."

Ji Chunzao sighed and lay down on his table. A small face rolled around on the table. It looked so soft that people couldn't help but want to poke it with their fingers.

Yan Jingxing put the sudden thought back in his mind and subconsciously looked away from her.

"...What should we do?"

"I thought about it for a long time last night, and I think the main reason is the lack of understanding. You saw them earlier than me and know more about them, so can you tell me about it? Everything is good, maybe you can find out from it

clue."

What was puzzling was not only last night's experience itself, but he was also unsure about other issues.

For example, if he can see alien creatures, is this a mutation caused by the appearance of astronauts?

Also, he had never encountered a similar situation when he lived in the city before, but soon after coming to Baiyue Town, everything was changing, and his previous world view was subverted.

This may be because Baiyue Town is just a small place, and he happened to bump into it; or--

The town itself is special.

"More alien-related stuff."

Ji Chunzao showed a thoughtful expression.

"Let me think about it. In fact, I have been able to see things that adults cannot see since I was very young, but I didn't realize that they were alien creatures at that time..."

"Hey, what are you two discussing with such serious faces?"

Suddenly someone came over and interrupted, it was his deskmate.

"What else can she say? She must be an alien or something."

Someone next to me said with a smile.

"Really? Then why are you still following the discussion so seriously? Are you influenced by Jichun Zao?"

My deskmate laughed along with me.

Yan Jingxing looked to the side, and there were more than one person looking this way, and there were also people who came directly to join in the fun;

Then, his eyes fell on Ji Chunzao next to him and found that she was lying on the table, covering her face with her hands and pretending not to hear.

Just like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

This pitiful look almost made him laugh. However, Yan Jingxing did not laugh in the end, but sighed softly.

Because at this time, some people's "jokes" gradually evolved into a sarcastic mockery of her own words.

Although it is necessary to have a good relationship with his classmates, for him, like-minded friends are more important.

Precisely because his previous mentality was similar to that of others, he had always wondered whether Ji Chunzao was lying, deceiving herself and others, and treating her as a delusional fool. Therefore, he should stand firm at this time, otherwise he would not be able to pass the test in his own heart.

"Well, we are discussing alien matters, but what does this have to do with you? Just mind yourselves."

Yan Jingxing did not control his tone at all, allowing the entire class to hear his voice.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

His deliberately rude attitude was so effective that no one came to talk to them again until the bell rang.

…

Another activity class.

Without a teacher occupying the class, it is rare for students to move around freely.

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao stood up from their seats at the same time. They looked at each other and left the classroom together.

"Go to the roof?"

"good."

Their destination was the rooftop opposite the teaching building. The girl had set up a small "secret base" there, a place where she could talk quietly.

The two of them passed the flower bed one after another. Ji Chunzao, with his hands behind his back and light steps, kicked a small stone on the ground and kicked it into the sewer next to it.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, until the girl spoke softly, breaking the silence between them.

"Well...actually, you don't have to say that."

"Last night, I saw the truth. You fulfilled the agreement between us. I am very grateful to you and feel that I must at least express my attitude. Therefore, I cannot tolerate those who have no knowledge of the matter and make irresponsible remarks to you.

Four."

Yan Jingxing said that he knew what Ji Chunzao meant, but he had his own way of doing it.

"Facts have proven that you are right. I don't want to be on the side with more people, but the right side."

Ji Chunzao raised his face and looked at him blankly, then immediately lowered his head after a while.

Yan Jingxing was just wondering about her reaction when he suddenly noticed that the crystal earlobes exposed between the girl's hair were dyed crimson.

"Are you blushing? You are too shy."
