secret base
The atmosphere inexplicably returned to its original freezing point. In order to avoid saying anything else shocking, Jiang Zhiyi chose to keep silent, which made Bai Qi and the others not used to it at all.
"Jiang Zhiyi, if you don't speak for an hour I'll think something's wrong with you, let alone you haven't spoken for a whole day."
Jiang Zhiyi could only shake his head regretfully and refused to speak.
"Don't be silent, or you can say something. Even if you tell the truth, I won't be defeated." Bai Qi's determined eyes almost moved her.
Bai Qun was discouraged when he saw Jiang Zhiyi insisted on not speaking. "It's so boring for me to be here talking to myself alone. Jiang Zhiyi, do you know that I've become very weird since you came back?"
"Besides, work has been a mess these past few days. I heard there were even thefts, but no one has entrusted us to go out."
That's really, a bit strange.
Jiang Zhiyi seemed to be lost in thought, while Bai Qi was still talking non-stop.
"I can sense that our studio hasn't had many orders these days. The things we've been commissioned with before were all small matters. With so many big things happening these past few days, there's still no gossip coming through."
Jiang Zhiyi nodded and subconsciously added: "Yeah, something's wrong, it's really wrong. You can actually think of this level, you really have become smarter."
Bai Qin: "..."
It doesn’t matter, he can accept it if you say he is not smart.
Anyway, it’s not like he hasn’t heard what Jiang Zhiyi said in private.
Jiang Zhiyi finally relaxed the breath he had been holding for a long time, and then fanned himself: "I'm so tired..."
"tired?"
"It's really uncomfortable for me to be here alone and not say anything. If I wasn't afraid of saying something I shouldn't say first, I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable."
Bai Qi laughed softly, "It's not like we haven't seen your mouth before."
Jiang Zhiyi scratched his head: "Because of my mouth, I am still in a cold war with Shen Yujing. If I had known earlier, I would not have been so impulsive."
"Look, you're confused again."
Bai Qi shook his finger: "You should think this way, Shen Yujing felt too guilty for saying those harsh words to you, so he didn't dare to face you."
Jiang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "That's right."
The two of them chuckled, and then they looked at each other like the villains.
"You're right, there's no such thing as a cold war. He's just feeling guilty, and I haven't forgiven him yet."
The child is teachable.
The two faced each other and laughed again.
Bai Yuan turned around and suddenly saw Shen Yujing with a cold face. Seeing him using Jiang Zhiyi's body to make such an expression, Bai Yuan's hair stood on end in an instant.
"Hahaha……"
"Ha ha……"
"ha……"
Bai Yuan's laughter was getting lower and lower, which made Jiang Zhiyi suddenly realize that something was wrong. She touched Bai Yuan's arm and signaled him to continue: "Laugh, why don't you laugh?"
Jiang Zhiyi saw Bai Qi standing there in a daze, looked back, and then immediately stopped laughing.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Zhiyi naturally began to shirk responsibility.
"Do you think I can tell you?" Bai Qi looked at her. "I'm afraid myself. Wouldn't it be better to find someone to share the energy with?"
The two of them concealed the scene of each of them running away when disaster struck.
Jiang Zhiyi lowered his head, looking apologetic, his mouth as if filled with poison.
"Go on, keep laughing, why aren't you laughing anymore?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked up at him: "Isn't it because you are here..."
Shen Yujing laughed out of anger: "?"
"So, if I hadn't come, would you still have continued?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhiyi closed his eyes and slapped his mouth.
"Then I didn't say anything when you and I had a cold war!"
Now that it was said, Jiang Zhiyi decided to throw in the towel: "Why on earth are you giving me the cold shoulder? We used to curse each other too."
"So you think this is why I'm angry?"
"Isn't it this? What else could make you angry?"
Shen Yujing stopped talking. She didn't understand her own thoughts or secret feelings at all.
Bai Yuan had already sneaked away, and no one knew who spoke first. Jiang Zhiyi secretly glanced at Shen Yujing: "I'm sorry, don't be angry, this is sincere."
Shen Yujing's voice was hoarse, and he didn't say anything, but handed her a snack: "Yeah."
Jiang Zhiyi quickly took the thing from his hand: "So you forgive me?"
"Not angry."
Jiang Zhiyi smiled and opened the snack bag, which contained the snacks that she usually ate. She looked up quietly, and the light and shadow fell on Shen Yujing's hair, giving it a layer of golden color.
There was a hint of a smile on Chen Yujing's lips, but it was gone in the next second, as if he had seen it wrong. Jiang Zhiyi lowered his head and looked at the things in his hand: "So, are we reconciled?"
"I said it." Shen Yujing responded calmly: "I'm not angry."
Therefore, there is no such thing as reconciliation.
Jiang Zhiyi was happy, she stood up and took his arm and walked out: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Shen Yujing was pulled out by her and they wandered around and around to an unknown place.
There are weeds everywhere here, and there is a wall in the middle with a lot of graffiti on it, but it is very childish, as if a child had drawn it here.
"When did you find this place?" Shen Yujing, who had lived here for a long time, didn't even know it existed.
Jiang Zhiyi shrugged: "That's because you don't usually go out. You stay in the office and at home all the time and don't even think about coming out."
"Look, I was just walking outside when I found this place. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, it still has a strong vitality. I chose this place as my secret base."
Shen Yujing looked around. Besides the wall, there were also some amusement facilities nearby. They looked like sports equipment that had been abandoned for a long time. Grass had grown on most of them, and any trace of one foot stepping in would be covered by the grass.
Shen Yujing nodded. This place was quiet and there was no loud noise. It was indeed a good place to stay alone.
"Well, but now that you've told me about this secret base, it's no longer a secret base."
Jiang Zhiyi nodded: "So, you are the only one who knows my secret now."
"This is now our secret base."
Shen Yujing was stunned for a second, then nodded: "You are willing to do it?"
"Who do you look down on?" Jiang Zhiyi tapped his head lightly.
Even she didn't notice how ambiguous this was: "Am I the kind of person who hides misery?"
Shen Yujing turned and walked towards the wall, and the child's childish brushstrokes appeared on the wall.
"We're going to be good friends for life."
“I love playing with them.”
"Even if there's no one here anymore, we still remember."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about."
"A secret code."
"Do we have any other secret codes?"
"You can think of one."
The story ends here, and Jiang Zhiyi never saw any other words on the wall.
"What do you think their secret code is?"
Shen Yujing naturally didn't know: "This is their code, not ours, how would we know it?"
Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "How about we also come up with a secret code?"
Shen Yujing didn't care how dirty the ground was. He spread a red cloth and sat on it: "Childish."
Seeing him sit down, Jiang Zhiyi also sat next to him.
Jiang Zhiyi persisted and muttered softly, "Where is that childish?"
"Please help me think about it."
Shen Yujing made room for her: "Those are all ideas of children. Only a childish person like you can resonate with them."
"I don't care, but you have to help me think about it."
"Um."
It was a rare day of good weather today, and the sunshine made the two of them feel warm. Jiang Zhiyi raised her head and blocked the sunlight with her hands.
"The sun is so warm today."
"Um."
"It's been a long time since I've felt this warm."
Shen Yujing lay down directly: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"
"Now?"
Jiang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and finally lay down: "How old is this tree?"
There is an old locust tree next to the wall, and Jiang Zhiyi inexplicably feels a sense of dependence on this tree.
"Hundreds of years, maybe."
"Hundreds of years?"
"Well, it takes decades for a tree to grow, let alone an old locust tree like this."
Jiang Zhiyi closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then thought for a while before replying to Shen Yujing: "That time span is so long."
"Um."
Shen Yujing looked at her and said nothing.
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
"Um."
After a long time, no one around me said anything about this.
Jiang Zhiyi listened quietly to the sound of the wind blowing through the grass. He felt sleepy for no apparent reason and wanted to take a nap.
"Then do you like me?"
A long time later, perhaps after confirming that Jiang Zhiyi couldn't hear, Shen Yujing suddenly asked.
Knowing that Jiang Zhiyi was asleep, Shen Yujing became bolder and asked softly again: "You like me, right?"
This unanswered question gradually disappeared in the wind.
Shen Yujing answered softly to himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, just don't like Zhou Zhao."
After all this time, he still cares about it.
I care a lot about Jiang Zhiyi's feelings for Zhou Zhao.
I care a lot about Jiang Zhiyi's bright smile towards Zhou Zhao.
I care a lot about everything Jiang Zhiyi did to Zhou Zhao.
Care a lot.
Jiang Zhiyi did not sleep well. Although it was a warm sunny day, he was haunted by a nightmare.
She seemed to have entered a secret realm, where there were six of them.
They worked hard for a long time and finally reached the end, but had to watch them die one by one, and even disappear from their memories.
Shang Fei died on the way to receive treatment for himself.
Shang Lin died, died just one second before protecting Shang Fei.
In order to protect Jiang Zhiyi, Chen Yujing blocked the attack for her.
They peeled away from her one by one.
Jiang Zhiyi frowned. She didn't want this to happen. Why didn't she care about these things in her dream at all? Instead, more and more people died because of her.
In the end, Bai Niu stood behind her.
Holding the deadly cane, he raised it high.
Jiang Zhiyi opened his eyes, stood up and gasped.
It’s too real, this dream is too real.
Shen Yujing had been lying beside her.
Only when she saw Shen Yujing did she feel a little relieved.
Maybe I've been too tired recently.
I can actually dream about these...
