Chapter 206 Fairy Chang'e
Just as I was about to take the children for a nap, a dazzling and strange light suddenly flashed across the sky without warning. The light was dazzling, like the brightest star in the night sky falling to earth. As everyone was startled, a graceful woman with flowing clothes, like an angel, slowly approached from within the light. Her steps were so light that each one seemed to tread on clouds, like a dream.
The children were stunned by the sudden sight, their mouths gaping open wide enough to fit an egg. One child was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly, and stammered, "Who... who are you?"
The woman smiled softly, her laughter clear and melodious, like a silver bell. She parted her red lips and spoke softly, "I am the fairy Chang'e of Guanghan Palace. Today, I am grateful for your efforts in spreading the myths of my people, so I have come to meet you."
At this moment, everyone present suddenly woke up from their dream and realized that this beautiful woman was the fairy described in those myths and stories, and had been hidden deep in the books in the library! She stood before everyone in a living, breathing way, so real that it was unbelievable.
The fairy Chang'e's beautiful eyes flickered as she surveyed the crowd, finally resting on the group of adorable children. Her gaze was filled with tenderness and kindness, like the warm spring sunshine bathing the earth. Then, with a gentle wave of her delicate hand, a multitude of exquisitely crafted mooncakes suddenly materialized from her palm. These mooncakes exuded an alluring aroma, making everyone salivate.
The children excitedly held out their hands, carefully accepting the delicate mooncakes. Their eyes widened, sparkling with wonder, their lips curled up involuntarily, revealing their overflowing joy. Just then, the fairy Chang'e gently raised her jade-white arm and gracefully waved it. Instantly, the entire garden seemed enchanted, filled with a soft, bright moonlight.
The moonlight enveloped every flower and blade of grass like a veil, adding a touch of mystery and fantasy to the already picturesque garden. However, before anyone could recover from this intoxicating beauty, the fairy Chang'e disappeared from their sight like a wisp of smoke.
Gazing at the spot where the fairy had vanished, the others were stunned, lost in deep thought. After a while, Team Leader Qin quietly approached me and asked in a low voice, "Sui Sui, I noticed everyone else was incredibly surprised by the appearance of the fairy Chang'e, but you don't seem surprised at all! Could it be that... you knew this would happen?"
Hearing Captain Qin's sharp question, I secretly admired his observation skills. I smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Captain Qin, I did know about this beforehand. This is actually a surprise I prepared specially for the children! I specially had someone create this realistic holographic projection, just to let these adorable little ones experience the awe and charm of mythological characters firsthand."
After saying this, Team Leader Qin and I exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Our laughter echoed in the quiet night, seemingly infecting the surrounding flowers and trees. They swayed gently in the breeze, seemingly cheering for the success of our plan.
With everything neatly organized and the children finally drifting off to sweet sleep, I, a bit exhausted, began to prepare to return to the hotel. After all, after a busy day, I really needed a good night's sleep, and I was secretly planning to reward myself with a long, comfortable sleep tomorrow morning.
Originally, I should have finished everything and returned to the hotel earlier than planned. However, today, the children were incredibly excited and refused to sleep. In desperation, I told them a wonderful fairy tale. Only after the story ended did they close their eyes contentedly and drift off to sleep. I took this opportunity to quickly leave the summer camp and head towards the hotel.
Upon returning to my hotel room, I immediately dug out the laptop I'd left in my bag and quickly logged into the Bilin social platform. I connected with the person I'd interacted with during the livestream. To my surprise, he turned out to be the CEO of a well-known children's products company! Even more surprising, he'd reached out because he was deeply moved by the warm, harmonious, and joyful atmosphere of our nursery.
Upon hearing this good news, I was instantly overwhelmed with excitement. I immediately shared this exciting news with my colleagues. Everyone was ecstatic upon hearing it, saying it was the best Mid-Autumn Festival gift they had ever received!
After sharing this exciting news with my colleagues, a huge weight finally settled down in my heart. I couldn't wait to remove my makeup. For someone who's always worn a natural look, coming to StarCraft meant learning a lot of new skills, including video and livestreaming. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked briskly to the bathroom, ready to begin the "big job" of removing my makeup.
Standing before a bright mirror, I gazed at my meticulously painted face. The intricate makeup shone brightly under the bright light. Yet, looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. A long time had passed since I'd set foot in this unknown interstellar world, and I still hadn't fully adjusted to the daily grin of wearing such heavy makeup.
But then again, perhaps the moment before I remove my makeup is truly the most beautiful! With this thought in mind, I immediately opened my laptop, quickly adjusted the angle, and continuously pressed the shutter button, snapping several beautiful photos. Without hesitation, I opened the social media app on my laptop and posted all these freshly-shot photos to my friends. When I first arrived in Interstellar, my friends list was completely empty, not a single person in sight. But over time, I've made friends like Wei'er, Daphne, and Lotta, and now my circle of friends has become incredibly lively, with more and more friends.
After sending the photos, I officially began removing my makeup. As I gently wiped away the makeup, my mind raced. The successful collaboration with the children's products company involuntarily surfaced in my mind. Thinking of the abundant resources our kindergarten would gain as a result, and the joy and happiness those adorable children would experience, the corners of my mouth lifted uncontrollably, as if I could already see their brightly smiling faces.
After removing my makeup and washing up, I collapsed on my bed, opened my laptop, and browsed the news. Suddenly, I saw a notification: interstellar travel is about to open a new route, allowing visitors to explore mysterious and unknown planets. My eyes lit up. I've dreamed of adventure since I was a child, and I yearn for this unknown.
Yet, as I revisited my jam-packed schedule, a wave of anxiety welled up inside me. The days ahead were packed with work, one after another, leaving little room for respite. Furthermore, my children's summer camp was coming to an end, and they would soon be returning to daycare. This meant I needed to devote even more energy and time to their care and development.
I gritted my teeth and told myself, "I must first properly handle this important collaboration!" While the task was daunting, if I could just get through this busy period, perhaps a turning point would emerge. Perhaps then, I'd finally have the chance to board that mysterious new route and embark on an unprecedented adventure.
With this faint yet exciting anticipation, my mood gradually calmed. Longing for an unknown journey, I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. In my dream, I seemed to be on a distant and unfamiliar planet, surrounded by bizarre landscapes and a vibrant ecosystem. I bravely journeyed through the dense jungle, exploring the secrets hidden deep within...
