He darted forward and appeared directly in front of Ye Ciqing.

"You, you're wearing an eye patch too! Are you two brothers?!"

Xing Lan's gaze kept shifting between Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing, and stars began to appear around her body due to excessive excitement.

"And why is your hair white? Is it because you're in so much pain?!"

"Can you two communicate telepathically or even merge into one body? Or perhaps you two share Life?"

"As long as one of our brothers survives, the other won't die either!"

Even Ye Ciqing, who had seen his share of "big" situations, was genuinely baffled by Xing Lan's actions.

Seeing the other person constantly hovering in front of him, with stars constantly appearing around them, Ye Ciqing took a step back and asked in surprise.

"You chuunibyou girl, how come you even have special effects?"

"And you actually managed to determine my brotherhood with Onii-chan just by looking at the eye patch I'm wearing!"

"Such keen observation skills... could you be a spy from an enemy country?"

He then assumed a wary fighting stance.

However, the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress betrayed his true thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Xing Lan was slightly taken aback, then straightened her chest and struck a cool pose.

"Haha, what a clever 'thief crying 'stop thief!' We're not even sure who the spy is yet."

"Let me tear away your clumsy disguise!"

Xing Lan covered her face with one hand, staring at Ye Ciqing through the gaps between her fingers.

The two men faced off as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Ye Yiqing held his forehead, not wanting to say a word.

Keke was so embarrassed for them that she almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment.

Only Hela remained with her large, peach-colored eyes, watching the two perform.

"Hey... Xing Lan, didn't I tell you before we came not to mess around? What are you doing now...?"

The jet-black plane slowly came to a stop. Feng Xuan, sitting in the pilot's seat, looked speechlessly at Xing Lan, who was still posing for photos.

Xing Lan shuddered, then turned around and stuck her tongue out at Feng Xuan.

"..."

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. We're here to take Hela back, don't take too long."

" Gangzi, that gorilla Gangzi will start barking like a dog again."

Feng Xuan, chewing gum and with his hands in his pockets, stepped off the plane.

Her trendy outfit made Keke, who was standing next to her, quite delighted.

"Hey, you're from the same recruit class as Hela?"

"Yes, my name is Ye Yiqing. It's an honor to meet you."

Ye Yiqing greeted him politely, his every gesture exuding aristocratic manners.

My name is Feng Xuan.

Seeing how polite the other person was, they instantly made a good impression on Feng Xuan.

Then he became wary again.

So handsome and seemingly so polite, his emotional intelligence must be pretty high too. I doubt many girls could resist him.

Feng Xuan glanced at Xing Lan, who was hugging Hela and expressing her longing for her, and at Hela herself.

A sense of crisis began to creep into his heart, but he quickly shook his head with a wry smile.

Why am I overthinking things? They're just new recruits from the same cohort, while I'm going to be on a mission with these two beautiful girls. There's no need to worry about this at all.

"Alright, Hela, let's go back!"

Having had her fill of cuddling, Xing Lan took Hela's hand and walked into the plane, saying goodbye to Ye Yiqing and the other two.

"Wait." Hela suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Lan Feng Xuan both looked at Hela.

Hela slowly raised her hand and pointed at Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing.

"Take them with you."

Feng Xuan's body trembled, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ye Yiqing.

"Both of them will also be joining the Special Investigation Squad."

Feng Xuan silently breathed a sigh of relief as Hela finished speaking the second half of her sentence.

He thought Hela had developed a romantic mindset and only wanted to bring them along because she liked them.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

Xing Lan became excited again, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the two of them once more.

"You really want to join the Special Investigation Squad?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression instantly turned serious.

"You'd better think this through. Special Investigation Squad are very dangerous; their mortality rate is twice that of other teams."

The two brothers showed no fear, nodding in confirmation. "Don't worry, we were already aware of the dangers posed by the investigation team."

"Thank you for reminding us, but since we've already made up our minds, we won't go back on our word."

Seeing the determined look in their eyes, Xing Lan exclaimed.

"Alright! You two have the makings of main characters. From today onwards, you're both members of the Special Investigation Squad!"

"Hey, Xing Lan, we'll have to ask the captain first," Feng Xuan waved his hand, reminding Xing Lan.

"It's okay! I believe they can do it. Anyway, even if the captain disagrees, I've already agreed."

Xing Lan stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the two brothers with a trusting expression.

This made them a little dazed, and they began to recall whether they had met Xing Lan before.

As if he had already gotten used to Xing Lan's way of doing things, Feng Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, said nothing more, and returned to the plane.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's get on the plane together."

"Our plane is one of the fastest vehicles in all of Great Xia! I guarantee you've never ridden in one before."

Xing Lan gestured for the two to walk onto the plane.

At this moment, Feng Xuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, noticed Keke, who had been standing silently to the side.

Would you like a ride?

The others also noticed Keke at this moment.

Xing Lan greeted them warmly.

"Yeah, why don't you join in? You recruits just came out of basic training camp, you don't have much to do anyway."

"No, that's alright."

Keke shook her head somewhat reservedly, refusing.

"Anyway, I'm not going home. I can just stay in City A for a few days and wait for the stationed team to issue a notification."

"There's no need for you to take me."

"Oh, I see..." Xing Lan said nothing more.

Ye Yiqing took out her phone, walked up to Keke, and spoke gently.

"Let me transfer you some money, otherwise the cost of living in City A is too high and you might not be able to afford to live there."

Before the other party could refuse, Ye Yiqing transferred 10,000 yuan to her directly via WeChat.

Seeing so much money transferred to him, Keke was shocked and dared not accept it at all.

"This, this is too much! A few hundred yuan is enough for me, you don't need this much, you should take it back."

Ye Yiqing shook his head, then looked at Keke helplessly.

"Just accept it. Ten thousand yuan is really not much to me."

He then glanced at his mother, who was constantly sending him red envelopes on her phone, and gave a wry smile.

Seeing this, Keke but to accept the loan.

"By the way, once you officially become Night Star, take good care of yourself, since we might not see each other very often in the future."

Keke's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and then she nodded emphatically in agreement.

" Keke, bye-bye~ Remember me, okay~" Ye Ciqing waved goodbye to him as well.

Finally, Hela slowly walked up to Keke.

"Sister Hela..."

Keke was about to say something when Hela hugged her tightly and said goodbye, "Goodbye, I'll miss you."

Keke a lump in her throat, and tears almost welled up in her eyes, but she managed to stop herself.

"Yes, I'll miss Hela too. Thank you for taking care of me this past year."

Keke hugged back and thanked her.
