Unspeakable bubbles

"Open the door"

"open"

After trying to pull it several times without success, Xiao Shan immediately glared at Yang Jun: "What are you standing there for? Come and help!"

"Oh, oh"

Working together, the two quickly revealed a hidden passage to everyone. It was pitch black below, and they had no idea where it led.

"Xiaoshan, what's this?"

Anzu hesitated for a moment and said, "They even took out the key. This can't be explained by a mere accidental discovery."

"Well, Xiaoshan's brother used to go to this school too, you should remember him, right, Xingzi?"

"I know, but didn't Xiaoshan's brother transfer schools two years ago?" A vague image of an unpleasant person floated into Xingzi's mind.

"Yes, this is the place my brother told Xiaoshan about before he left."

Xiao Shan imitated her older brother: "Silly little sister, this genius is about to step into a wider world."

"Take this key. If one day you want to follow in my footsteps, open that door and step out of this cramped place!"

Xiao Shan's winking and making faces immediately amused Pao Pao, and the little girl kept laughing.

Kyoko's lips twitched; such speechless words really sounded like something that arrogant person would say.

He has a terrible personality and poor learning ability, I don't know where that guy gets his confidence from.

"So that's how it is."

Xingzi still had many questions to ask, and she felt that Xiaoshan must have many things she hadn't said.

But that's enough.

Xiaoshan has already helped me a lot, and since there are some things she doesn't want to talk about, I won't ask.

'Apricot, you're not a responsible class monitor anymore,' the girl thought to herself.

"Xiaoshan, where will we end up if we follow that path?"

Yang Jun looked at the dark tunnel and swallowed hard.

"Outside the school"

"..."

After waiting a while and seeing that she didn't continue, Xingzi asked in surprise, "That's it? What's the exact location?"

"I've never been out, how would I know?" the girl said irritably.

"Huh?" The three of them stared at her in disbelief.

When did the troublemaker Xiaoshan become the good girl Xiaoshan? She's never been outside, how is that possible!

"Really, Xiaoshan really hasn't gone out!"

"Look, it's so dark down there... You can't drag others into doing this kind of thing, so, well, that's it."

Xiao Shan stammered, but Xingzi laughed: "I never expected that you, Xiao Shan, would be afraid of anything."

"Hmph, aren't you afraid?"

"I have a foreigner with me."

"...Okay, okay, hurry up and go, stop showing off your love." Xiao Shan covered her face with one hand and threw a flashlight with the other.

"With such thorough preparation, you still say you haven't sneaked out? Watch out!"

"Oh no! The class monitor is hitting someone!"

After the two joked around for a while, Xingzi suddenly hugged her tightly: "Thank you, thank you Xiaoshan."

"Hmph, you'd better remember my kindness for the rest of your life."

"Bubble" Apricot bent down and kissed the little girl's face again: "Take good care of yourself."

"Oh!"

"Yang-kun" Kyoko returned to the boy's side and held his hand tightly.

"let's go"

Chapter 18, Section 018: Let's go back then.

"I'm leaving after all." Xiao Shan looked at the dark passage with some emotion.

"Xiao Shan" Bubble tugged at her sleeve.

"Ok?"

"Let's hurry back, it wouldn't be good if those scary uncles found out." The little girl thought of a security captain and felt a little worried.

"Ah, don't worry about that."

After a slight hesitation, Xiaoshan whispered in Bubble's ear: "I'll tell you a secret, Bubble, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."

"secret?"

Children are most susceptible to these things, and without thinking, Bubble nodded vigorously: "Bubble won't tell anyone."

"Actually, they won't come out after 10 o'clock."

"Huh?" Bubble was a little confused. The teacher had said that those uncles worked very hard and had to patrol very late at night.

Seeing Bubble's blank expression, Xiaoshan became anxious: "It's true. There used to be a group of... weirdos who gave the guards at this school a hint."

"They won't come out after 10 p.m.

"..." The little girl looked bewildered. Strange guy? Hint? She didn't quite understand any of it, but it didn't matter.

“Since Xiaoshan said so, it must be true.” The little girl nodded seriously. “This secret bubble won’t be told to anyone!”

Xiao Shan was very touched by Bubble's trust in Bubble, and she was about to say something.

"Xiaoshan, where does it lead?"

"Didn't I already say that I haven't gone out?"

Xiao Shan scratched her head. She knew she had a long history of bad deeds, and not only Bubble, but probably neither Xingzi nor Yangjun believed that she had never used this secret passage.

"Actually, Xiaoshan has thought about it many times." Xiaoshan looked at the bubbles and said, "But every time I think about it, I get more and more scared, and in the end I give up."

Peeking into the dark passage, Bubble suddenly realized.

"So Xiaoshan is really afraid of the dark."

"Hey, I'm not afraid of the dark," Xiao Shan shook her head.

She didn't tell the truth in front of Xingzi just now, but now that it's just Bubble... is it okay to say it?

"Bubble, Xiaoshan came to this school when she was very, very young."

"It was about the size of a bubble when it first came in."

"It's been five years now."

Five years... Xiao Shan felt a little melancholy.

"Xiao Shan has never left the school in the past five years, and she has almost forgotten what the outside world is like."

"So, I'm very scared,"

"This school has Ms. Eve, classmates, and, well, cute Bubbles. But outside... there's nothing, absolutely nothing."

As if struck by a thought, her body trembled slightly: "We can't get out. Xiao Shan can't get out. Maybe Xiao Shan really is a coward, I..."

"Let's go back," the little girl said, pulling on Xiaoshan's hand.

"Bubble?"

“A child who doesn’t go back to sleep is not a good child. Go back, go back.” Bubble went around behind Xiaoshan and nudged her back with its head.

"Go back, go back," the little girl said, pushing and pulling.

What are you doing?

"Hey, wait a minute, at least let me close the door properly."

"The cover-up hasn't even been laid yet, you big idiot Bubble!"

.................................................. ......................

"Yang-kun, this place is really nice," Kyoko said happily, facing the mountain breeze.

"..."

Is that okay? Yang Jun doesn't think so at all.

After he came out, he wanted to take the main road, but Kyoko stopped him.

"Yang-kun, which way are we going?"

“Follow the wall forward, find the station, we’re going to the city.” The boy puffed out his chest, trying to project a reliable image.

“Taking a bus costs money, and we have to go through the school gate to get there. We’ll definitely be spotted.”

"Then, what should we do?"

"Go that way."

Following Xingzi's hand, the boy was shocked: "Going to the mountains? That won't do."

“Why not? If we go that way, no one will find us.” Kyoko smiled. “Yang-kun, come and chase me!”

After saying that, the girl ran off to the other side of the mountain.

"Wait, wait a minute, Anzu!"

And so the two of them walked and walked, not knowing how long they had walked.

The boy's back was already aching, but the girl was still in high spirits.

A cold wind blew by, and the boy couldn't help but shiver.
