“Class president, sliding down the slide is really fun! You should follow my lead and give it a try too.”
Not forgetting that Hu Mengqing was still standing up on the slide, Yan Qi, now standing on the ground, turned around, spread her arms, and waved at her vigorously, urging her to come down the slide and experience how fun it was alongside her.
Watching Yan Qi wave at her from below, signaling for her to slide down just like she had done, Hu Mengqing made sure no one was watching, took a deep breath, pushed past her feelings of embarrassment, crouched down, and entered the slide.
After a winding, twisting slide just like when she was a kid, Hu Mengqing, just like Yan Qi earlier, landed at the bottom of the slide, sitting on the ground she had stepped on countless times before.
“Class president, sliding is still just as fun as when you were little, isn’t it?”
Seeing Hu Mengqing appear at the slide’s exit, Yan Qi quickly walked up to her and asked with a cheerful tone.
Hearing Yan Qi’s words, Hu Mengqing recalled her earlier experience and the fond memories of sliding down with her friends as a child. She couldn’t help but smile. Then she looked up at Yan Qi standing in front of her and nodded in reply.
“Yeah, even now, sliding is still just as fun as when I was little.”
“So, class president, do you want to go again? I can keep playing with you.”
Seeing the smile on Hu Mengqing’s face, Yan Qi thought for a moment and then said to her.
“No, that’s okay. I’m already very happy.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s offer, Hu Mengqing, feeling too embarrassed to slide again, quickly declined.
“Since you’re satisfied, class president, let’s head back now. But before we go, I want to wish you good luck on your college entrance exams.”
Hearing Hu Mengqing’s response, Yan Qi didn’t push her. She just smiled and said this to her.
Hearing that, Hu Mengqing froze for a moment. Then, realizing what Yan Qi had been trying to do for her all along, she broke into a sweet smile, looked at Yan Qi, and replied,
“Thank you for your blessing. I promise I won’t let you down.”
“I believe you won’t let me down. After all, you’re my dearest class president.”
After replying to Hu Mengqing, Yan Qi didn’t stay in the park any longer. They left together and went back to their respective homes.
…
“Another refreshing morning.”
Waking up early to do her daily training, Yan Qi glanced at the sun just rising outside, stretched, and couldn’t help but say this to herself.
After changing into clean clothes, going to the bathroom to finish her morning routine, and having breakfast with her parents, Yan Qi, just like the past few days, headed to her current workplace—the Fangfeng City Supernatural Affairs Bureau.
“Good morning, Sister Shen.”
Walking into the fifth team’s office, Yan Qi saw Shen An’an sitting in her office chair, busy writing a report. She quickly greeted her.
Hearing Yan Qi’s voice, Shen An’an immediately looked up, gave her a welcoming smile, and said,
“Good morning, Xiao Qi. Have you had breakfast?”
“I had noodles with my mom and dad this morning. What about you, Sister Shen?”
“I just had a sandwich I bought from the supermarket. I’m not from around here, after all. My family’s all back in my hometown.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s words, Shen An’an thought of her family back home and replied to Yan Qi with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Seeing Shen An’an looking a bit down, Yan Qi knew she was missing her family and wanted to say something comforting.
But feeling that nothing she said would really help, Yan Qi wisely kept her mouth shut and just stood there, waiting for Shen An’an to feel better.
“Sorry about that, Xiao Qi. I suddenly remembered my family just now. Please don’t take it the wrong way.”
“Sister Shen, I completely understand.”
After saying this to Shen An’an, Yan Qi then asked her,
“By the way, Sister Shen, what task have you arranged for me today?”
“Same task as yesterday.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s question, Shen An’an glanced at the task briefing beside her, shrugged, and answered.
“More ghost extermination? Looks like something big is about to happen here in Fangfeng City.”
Hearing Shen An’an’s answer, Yan Qi, knowing that a large-scale appearance of ghosts meant something terrible was about to occur, said this to herself.
Hearing that, Shen An’an didn’t accuse Yan Qi of exaggerating. After all, as the captain of an action team under the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, she had access to a lot of intelligence.
“Don’t worry. The director has already reported our situation to our superiors. I’m sure they’ll send someone to help us deal with what’s coming soon.”
Shen An’an said this to Yan Qi.
“I hope so.”
Yan Qi replied casually.
…
Just as Yan Qi and Shen An’an were each worrying at the bureau about the big event about to happen in their city of Fangfeng…
At the exit of Fangfeng City’s Shanyang Airport, a black-haired beauty was driving a Mercedes-Benz she had borrowed from Old Man Fang. She stretched her elegant body, leaned lazily against the car, and waited for the important figure who had contacted her last night and said they would arrive in Fangfeng City today.
“Hey there, beautiful. Would you be interested in adding me as a friend?”
Hearing that familiar, annoying voice in her ear, the black-haired beauty, who had already been asked five times if she’d add someone as a friend, couldn’t help but feel a little resentful that her mother had made her so beautiful. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be attracting so many pests just by standing here.
“I’m not interested in adding you as a friend. Go back where you came from.”
Looking up at the man standing beside her, staring at her with lecherous eyes, the black-haired beauty rejected him while secretly using her supernatural power.
Hearing her words and being influenced by her power, the man who had tried to hit on her quickly lost focus in his eyes. After nodding mechanically at her, he turned and walked away, just like everyone else who had tried to hit on her before.
