Si Fuqing glanced at him, a hint of amusement in her gaze.
Was he really that afraid?
She wasnât that intimidating.
Jiang Changfeng cleared his throat, âActually, I have a few things Iâd like to ask Miss Si.â
Once Si Fuqing was sure he posed no threat, she turned away nonchalantly,
âIâm busy.â
Jiang Changfeng stood silently for a few seconds before asking, âHave you heard of the Miracle Doctor Alliance?â
This question made Si Fuqing pause and turn back. âIt exists beyond just historical records?â
âYes,â Jiang Changfeng nodded. âMiss Si, you must have encountered our elders in the holographic game.â
Si Fuqing recalled briefly, finding no memory of such an encounter: âIâve met too many people there; I donât remember. â
âHmmâ¦â Jiang Changfeng paused, âIt was when our elders were carrying someone for treatment, and you, finding them in your way, casually saved that person.â
Si Fuqing was slight as she scanned through her memories.
Oh, in that case, yes.
Jiang Changfeng finally voiced his query, âWhy havenât you been seen in the game these past few years?â
Si Fuqing replied casually, âMy gaming pod broke. Canât log into the game.â
Jiang Changfeng was shocked.
He hadnât expected such a reason.
Although itâs said that without a gaming pod or a gaming helmet, one cannot mentally link to enter a holographic game, gor someone like the Heavenly
Doctor Ghosthand, buying a new gaming pod shouldnât have been difficult.
How could she just disappear for years?
And to end up as a struggling idol?
Si Fuqing smiled, âLess curiosity is better for everyone. Curiosity killed the cat.â
Jiang Changfeng nodded in understanding, âI see.â
âBut if you want my help, itâs not impossible. You can do me a favor.â Si Fuqing assessed him, âHmm, 184cm, slightly shorter than my boss, not as fit, but youâll do.â
âYour tracking skills are good, so you should know where I work. Wait for me after my shift.â
Yu Xiheng lent Lin Qingchen to her, and she planned to pick out a few outfits for him, insisting on keeping it a secret.
She couldnât use Shang Lu or Feng San, as both were loose lips.
Jiang Changfeng was baffled.
What did she mean by âyouâll doâ ?
Andpraising his tracking skills?
Nevertheless, Jiang Changfeng agreed, partially because of Jiang Changning,
âAlright, but Ningning canât see me.â
Using his familyâs herbs for laxatives could indeed incapacitate a person, also self-shame.
âSmart choice,â Si Fuqing snapped her fingers and left.
She reached the road, hopped on a shared bike, and rode away.
Once Si Fuqinz was out of sizht, Jianz Chanzfenz donned his hoodie azain and left the alley.
At the âYouth With Youâ training base.
Revived after a pep talk from Xie Yu and a full stomach, Xu Xiyun was back in high spirits.
Ye Qingyou, having learned about Xu Xiyun being forced by his company to drop out of the competition, came to offer his sympathies.
Xie Yu, with hands in his pockets, commented, âHe doesnât look like he needs comforting. Letâs not inflate his ego.â
Xu Xiyun was already daydreaming about being a wealthy heir with a vast bed.
His next fantasy might as well be becoming a superhero flying to the moon.
âBeing optimistic is good,â Ye Qingyou smiled, then frowned, âIsnât that the staff from Wangchuan Entertainment? Why are they back?â
Xie Yu squinted towards them.
The manager from the morning returned with the assistant of Wangchuan Entertainmentâs CEO.
They headed straight for the dance room 2 door.
âWeâre here to inform you, Xu Xiyun,â the assistant said coldly. âWeâve discharged your grandmother from the hospital. And if you donât drop out today, youâll have to tomorrow. Itâs the agencyâs decision, and you canât oppose it. Your mentorâs protection wonât help.â
Xu Xiyunâs eyes reddened in anger, âWhat right do you have to do this! I paid this monthâs fees myself!â
He had scrimped and saved just so his grandmother could stay hospitalized and receive medication.
Xie Yuâs eyes turned icy.
âWhat right do we have?â the assistant scoffed, dismissively, âBecause you have no backing or capital, get it?â
Xu Xiyun clenched his fists, âYouâ¦â
Xie Yu was about to intervene when suddenlyâ¦
âBang!â
A chair was kicked over, its leg breaking off and narrowly missing the assistantâs face.
The assistant collapsed to the ground in fright, while the manager pressed against the wall, too scared to breathe.
Xie Yu halted, quickly composed himself, and straightened up, âTeacher Si.â
Si Fuqing hummed in response. She looked down at the assistant sprawled on the ground, her words carrying an edge of ruthlessness, âGet lost.â
The assistantâs pupils dilated in fear, âYou⦠youâre the one from this morning⦠Si Fuqing ignored him and shut the door, âCome inside. No need to gather here.â
âTeacher Si, may I ask for a leave?â Xu Xiyunâs eyes were still red. âMy grandmother, sheâ¦â
âDonât worry,â Si Fuqing said, wiping sweat with a tissue. âI asked Dr. Lin Qingchen to treat your grandmother. She had surgery at noon, and it went smoothly. Sheâs fine now, just a bit sleepy for a while.â
Xu Xiyun was stunned, âDr. Lin? Lin Qingchen?â
He was well aware of Lin Qingchenâs reputation.
An appointment with him was almost impossible to secure.
And Si Fuqing managed to get him to come to Lin City?
âTeacher Siâ¦â Xu Xiyun stammered, his voice choking up, âI donât know how to repay you. I have nothing to offer.â
âThen get back to training, â Si Fuqing kicked him lightly. âNinth place is too easy for you. Youâve been just scraping by. Aim for the top three in Saturdayâs performance. â
Xu Xiyun was momentarily moved, then deflated, muttering, âTop three is too
lidLU.
The current rankings were Xie Yu in the first place, a huge gap, followed by Lu Yan and Ye Qingyou. He was millions of votes away from the third spot. Catching up in a few days seemed impossible.
âTomorrow, Iâll get you a day off to visit your grandmother,â Si Fuqing said, opening a can of cake. âNow focus on your training.â
At 6 PM, Jiang Changfeng was waiting as scheduled at the baseâs entrance.
He was still wearing his hoodie, half his face covered.
âLetâs go,â Si Fuqing said, hands in her pockets, âletâs go the mall.â The mall?
Jiang Changfeng had his doubts but followed her anyway.
At the mall, he realized his role: a human clothes rack.
After an hour of trying on clothes, Jiang Changfeng took a deep breath, struggling to contain his emotions.
This was the friendJiang Changningpraised so highly?
Birds ofa feather flock together, indeed.
âOK, these are the ones,â Si Fuqing said, satisfied, instructing the salesperson to pack several brand-new items. Turning to Jiang Changfeng, she added, âYou can go now.â
Jiang Changfeng exhaled slowly and turned away expressionlessly.
He felt reduced to a mere tool.
Typical of the Ghosthandâs temperament.
Capricious and illogical.
No wonder she would impulsively save someone blocking her way and then disregard a fortune placed before her.
Si Fuqing, carrying the boxed clothes, weighed them in her hand, ready to head back.
Outside the mall, Yu Yao, who had just arrived in Lincheng and finished his dinner, was about to return to his hotel.
Turning around, he came face-to-face with a tall, upright figure.
âBrother Lin?â Yu Yao blurted out in surprise.
When did Lin Qingchen come to Lin City?
He remembered Lin Qingchen had surgery scheduled that morning. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
What brought him here so suddenly?
Lin Qingchen nodded at him in greeting and then walked past, stopping in front of Si Fuqing, who had just come out of the mall. He smiled at her, âMiss
Si.. â
