Chapter 109: 109, Good Friend Chapter 109: 109, Good Friend Ye Qi was playing games in front of the computer when he heard a notification come in. He picked up his phone and glanced at it, seeing a photo but didn’t pay much attention to it at first.
Just as he was about to put his phone down, he recognized someone in the photo, looked closely, and exclaimed, “Damn! Is that Yushen? Am I seeing things?” Yushen was actually holding a girl’s hand, and even though the girl appeared quite young, it couldn’t be possible—who didn’t know that Yushen had a phobia of dirt and never got close to girls, not even Song Yanxue had a chance to get close to Yushen.
Quickly using both hands, he sent a string of messages, “Who is the girl Yushen is holding? The background looks like an amusement park, how could Yushen possibly go to such a place? Isn’t that photo photoshopped?”
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the library, illuminating a young man sitting by the window, whose good looks seemed to be highlighted by a terrifying brilliance. Girls occasionally stole glances in his direction, and some even took out their phones to capture the scene.
Seeing the messages from Ye Qi, Fang Jingxing smiled briefly, his slender fingers swiftly gliding across the phone screen, “The back looks very much like Yushen.”
“What do you mean it looks like him, it is him. I can guarantee this photo is absolutely real. I’m at the amusement park with Yushen now. Do you guys want to come? There’s a good show to watch!” Qu Lingfeng sent a location pin.
He, Ye Qi, Fang Jingxing, and Yushen were best friends. They often hung out together and talked about almost everything. At present, they were also in the Emperor Realm, but they had agreed to first advance to advanced systems by their own abilities, and then team up to enter the top-level system together.
“Yushen would go to such a place? You’re kidding a three-year-old. Despicable//” Ye Qi sent a message and scrolled up again to take a closer look at the picture.
“Ding!” A notification sound of a message arriving.
Ye Qi scrolled down and saw that it was a video. He tapped on it.
In the video, Yushen was sitting on a carousel, laughing and talking with a little girl beside him.
“I can’t believe it!” Ye Qi felt like he’d been struck by lightning. The aloof Mr. Qin, who kept others at a distance, was actually riding a carousel. This was something he couldn’t even imagine in his dreams.
Putting his phone in his pocket, he quickly ran outside. He could no longer stay calm, he needed to go to the amusement park to see if that was a fake Yushen.
Fang Jingxing stood up, walked to the bookshelf to put the books back, and then headed outside. He planned to make a trip to the amusement park to meet the little girl who had changed Yushen.
Seeing that Ye Qi and Fang Jingxing stopped messaging, Qu Lingfeng chuckled mischievously and put his phone back in his pocket. Those two guys were definitely on their way there now.
Seeing an ice cream cart not too far away, Yushen turned his head towards Song Yan Ning, “Do you want ice cream?” He had heard that girls liked sweets.
Song Yan Ning glanced at it, saw many people buying, and nodded, “Okay.” She had never had ice cream before; her grandparents said girls shouldn’t eat too cold stuff, so they never let her have any.
“I want some too,” Qu Lingfeng walked up beside Yushen and said cheerfully.
“You’re paying anyway.” Yushen said, holding Song Yan Ning’s hand and walking towards the ice cream cart.
“No humanity when there’s a different sex!” Qu Lingfeng huffed, resignedly following them. He had lost the bet, after all.
“Xiao Ning, which flavor do you want?” Yushen saw several flavors on the price list, not sure which one Song Yan Ning liked.
Song Yan Ning looked at the price list that had different flavors of ice cream, “Vanilla.”
“Two vanillas.” Yushen nodded and spoke to the staff inside the ice cream cart.
Qu Lingfeng stared at Yushen in amazement. Today’s Yushen had completely overturned his understanding of him. He remembered Yushen hated sweets, but today he was actually eating vanilla ice cream. God! Someone strike him with lightning, he must be dreaming.
Ye Qi arrived at the amusement park and happened upon Fang Jingxing who had also just arrived.
“Do you think the video Ling Feng sent is real?” Ye Qi had watched it several times on the way and still doubted its authenticity.
Fang Jingxing shook his head, “We’ll see when we get there.” He didn’t doubt the authenticity of the video; he just wanted to know who was that little girl with Yushen?
“We’re here, where are you guys?” Ye Qi sent a message to Qu Lingfeng. The amusement park was so big, finding someone wasn’t easy.
“We’re by the Ferris wheel, you’ll see us once you get here. I’m seriously suspecting everything I see is an illusion,” Qu Lingfeng’s message came promptly.
“What happened? Curious??” Ye Qi sent a message as he walked. He was really curious, what had happened to make the usually calm Qu Lingfeng so unsettled.
Not long after, another message came in.
Ye Qi opened it and his eyes instantly widened, full of disbelief. Yushen was actually eating ice cream, how was that possible?
Fang Jingxing, seeing Ye Qi’s expression, also opened the video and saw its content, his lips curling up into a slight smile. He was becoming increasingly curious about the little girl who had changed Yushen.
Yushen took out his phone, saw several messages, and lifted the corner of his lips, “Xiao Ning, they’re here.” He hoped he could introduce his best friends to Xiao Ning, otherwise Qu Lingfeng wouldn’t have been able to take his picture.
“Mhm.” Song Yan Ning nodded. She might not have Divine Sense, but she knew Qu Lingfeng had just taken a photo of her and Yushen.
Fang Jingxing and Ye Qi, from afar, saw Yushen and Song Yan Ning sitting on a bench chatting. Yushen was smiling gently, a tender look in his eyes as he gazed at Song Yan Ning—a stark contrast to his usual self.
“Pinch me.” Ye Qi’s eyes were wide, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at Yushen. Although Yushen was more approachable with them than with strangers, he never had such an expression; it seemed like his eyes only saw the little girl sitting beside him.
“Ouch! Go easy, that hurt.” Ye Qi rubbed his face and glared at Fang Jingxing. This guy didn’t know how to be gentle.
“You asked me to pinch you.” Fang Jingxing teased with a smile, walking toward Yushen and Song Yan Ning.
“Crafty devil.” Ye Qi glared at Fang Jingxing and followed him. Right now, what he was most curious about was the little girl beside Yushen, not knowing who she was to Yushen, or why Yushen was so special toward her.
Qu Lingfeng saw Fang Jingxing and Ye Qi and waved at them.
