Chapter 119: Hide and Seek

As soon as she arrived at the school gate, Shen Chun saw many children waiting at the door. Last night, she heard from Shen Chi that they would only start the parent-child activity after their afternoon nap. These people who were waiting for their family at the school gate didn’t go for a lunch break?
After Shen Chun searched the crowd, she saw Shen Chi among them.
Shen Chi also saw Shen Chun and ran towards her. “Sister!”
“Little Chi.” Shen Chun held Shen Chi’s hand and the three of them entered the classroom.
There were only a few parents in the classroom, so they would probably have to wait for a while. Shen Chun asked Shen Chi, “Did your teacher say what competitions were being held today?”
Shen Chi pouted and shook his head. “1 don’t know. The teacher just said that it has something to do with hands.”
“Hands?” Shen Chun wondered if it was about handcrafts.
Fu Shi remained silent and he felt uncomfortable while sitting in the chair.
After waiting for about half an hour, Shen Chun was about to fall asleep when a female teacher walked in from outside the classroom. When she looked at the students, she realized that there was still an empty seat. “Students and parents, sorry to keep you all waiting. Our parent-child event can begin soon, but we have to play a game first. Let’s find Hu Jing, okay?”
The entire class agreed with the teacher’s suggestion. “Okay.”
Right on the heels of that, everyone rushed out of the classroom to look for Hu Jing. Shen Chun and Fu Shi followed behind Shen Chi.
Shen Chi went to a more secluded place to look for Hu Jing, but Shen Chun didn’t think that Shen Chi’s idea was right.
After all, what girl would hide near a trash can or grass pile?
Seeing that Shen Chi had walked to the ditch behind the classroom, Shen Chun couldn’t help but remind him, “Little Chi, shouldn’t you look elsewhere?”
When Shen Chi realized that Hu Jing wasn’t here, he changed to another place to look after hearing Shen Chun’s suggestion.
Hide-and-seek was quite suitable for children to play. However, there were so many students in the class. After spending almost an hour searching, they still couldn’t find Hu Jing in the medium-sized school.
Shen Chun said, “Hubby, don’t you think perhaps Hu Jing isn’t in the school at all?”
Fu Shi didn’t answer Shen Chun. Instead, he asked, “If Hu Jing didn’t come to school, why did that female teacher tell us to search for her?”
Indeed, if the female teacher said so, the children would continue to search. If Hu Jing really didn’t come to school, they wouldn’t be able to find her even if they searched for an entire day.
Then, this parent-child activity would be ruined.
Unless the female teacher mistakenly thought that Hu Jing was just hiding or playing somewhere else in school.
But Hu Jing didn’t appear.
Then, Shen Chun sensed something and deciding to look elsewhere, she handed Shen Chi to Fu Shi.
Shen Chi agreed.
Shen Chun didn’t look for Hu Jing in the school. Instead, she walked out of the school.
After all, the children could wait for their family to come over, so if Hu Jing wasn’t in school, Hu Jing might be outside.
However, Shen Chun didn’t dare to imagine how dangerous it would be for a child to stay outside all alone.
Shen Chun only wanted to give it a try and look around the school. She didn’t know Hu Jing, so she could only pay more attention to the girls around Shen Chi’s age.
After circling around the school, they finally found a girl in a park in a small neighborhood. However, to Shen Chun’s surprise, this girl could actually communicate with spirits.
As she sat on the swing, she was talking to the woman who was squatting on the ground gently.
Even though Shen Chun felt that this female ghost had no ill intentions, she still had to stop her.
Shen Chun walked to the girl’s side and asked, “Little kid, what’s your name? Is it Hu Jing?”
The girl was very vigilant and kept a distance from strangers. When she saw Shen Chun coming over, she immediately got off the swing and asked, “Who are you?”
Shen Chi wasn’t in a hurry to make Hu Jing trust her. Instead, she explained, “I’m Shen Chi’s sister. Your teacher is holding a parent-child activity today and has been looking for you..”
