Chapter 2: Beginning

The atmosphere stagnated for a while.
The gentleman’s response was calm and unwavering on the surface, but the undercurrent was turbulent.

How could Chief Wang not know about the disharmony between the two? Before even meeting, that one on her end had already offended the other party. In the end, she as the leader had to clean up after him.

“I brought Advisor Ji here to see the base. I didn’t expect you to be so impatient.” Chief Wang pretended that nothing had happened and gently introduced, “Advisor Ji, this is the captain of the seventh squad and also the youngest captain under the Tianqiong system with the most potential. At a young age, he has already completed twelve A-level missions, reaching a rating of one star. Let me officially introduce him, his name is Song Qinglan. I don’t think you’ve met before?”

Ji Yushi was slightly surprised. He retracted his gaze and unconsciously repeated those two words, “Song…….Qinglan?”

His voice was very soft, and it also sounded very nice. It was a voice Song Qinglan had expected.

The voices of civilian workers were probably all very similar to this.

Chief Wang smiled, “ The sunny ‘Qing’ and the mountain wind ‘Lan’, doesn’t it sound like a little gir—”

Song Qinglan interrupted, his expression poor, “Chief Wang.”

It was as if Ji Yushi didn’t notice the teasing in her tone. He quickly loosened his brows and said, “Actually, I have seen Captain Song before.”

Chief Wang was interested, “Oh? When was it?”

Ji Yushi’s nice voice continued, “Three years ago on October 14th. I attended a class organised by Tianqiong in the Jiang City branch and it was also a class taught by you. Captain Song was also in the class at that time, but we didn’t know each other then.”
Chief Wang was surprised this time, “That’s strange, how could I not have an impression of someone like you?”

Not to mention Chief Wang, Song Qinglan himself also had no impression of this matter.

Are you kidding me? Who would have the time to remember the people they met three years ago?

Ji Yushi easily recalled the situation that day as if it had just happened yesterday, “The venue was very big, and my seat was at the back so it’s normal for you not to remember. That day you wore a light blue suit and skirt, had it paired with a pair of Baroque pearl earrings and your hair was a little shorter than it is now. During class, you also accidentally shattered a mug and changed it into a different one. Do you remember?”

Chief Wang quickly nodded her head, “I remember!”

Ji Yushi then said, “Captain Song’s seat was the ninth one from the left in the third row. He slept through two classes and left early in the afternoon.”

Song Qinglan couldn’t help but say, “Do you have a deep impression of me or are you trying to report me?”

Ji Yushi turned to look at Song Qinglan. His eyes reflected Song Qinglan’s figure, “I just happened to remember everyone who was there that day.”

Song Qinglan had almost forgot. This Advisor Ji was rumoured to have excellent memory.

Song Qinglan said implicitly, “Advisor Ji, I heard that people with good memories hold grudges.”

Ji Yushi answered frankly, “It’s alright. Depends on the situation.”

Chief Wang settled the situation down, “It’s good that you’ve met. Xiao Song is a little hot tempered and straightforward and he can be merciless when criticising his teammates. Making people cry in public isn’t something he hasn’t done before. I heard from Chief Lin that Advisor Ji’s personality is very easy going and accommodating. Try not to accommodate Xiao Song too much while you’re a part of the squad though lest you let yourself be wronged.”
