Sunray broke through weeping willow dense leaves, landing upon the Japanese primrose and illuminating its abundance of flowers. The petals are bathed with light, revealing their vibrant deep rose color. Gems of dew slid alongside their corolla, landing on her pollen bed.
Shancai woke up with a jolt. She shook the tiny pearls of water or her tiny wings, instantly drying herself. Looking up, she saw that the sky was already filled with her fellows, whizzing around and spreading their wings towards the morning meeting area. She spotted Qinghe and LiZhen a bit further, flying together, joking and laughing. She sighed and looked at the vacant spot beside her.
A month ago Xiaoyou had disappeared. She h been infatuated by a human, Ximen, if she's not wrong. She had the audacity to follow him despite everybody's warnings. Shancai had tried to hold her back. With a sparkling eyes, Xiaoyou told her she only wanted to see him closer.
She never came back.
Sighing, she stood up and get dressed, putting on the frock she had made with a lily-of-the-valley leaf and covered her hair with a little bell-shaped flower. She hastily joined the other fairies to go to their meeting area, located inside the tallest and most ancient cypress trunk they had in the park.
Xiaozi, the crown princess, was flying nervously in front of them, her long dark hair was twirling around her as her wings quickly shook. She was waiting for the queen to join them.
The queen Jing came at last. As usual, she took Shancai's breath away. Jing wore a dress made with white hibiscus flower petals, accentuating her beauty more.
Everyone had immediately gone silent. With her digital touchpad made with deadwood plus a bit of enchantment, Jing showed a 3D map of the Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park on the screen wall.
Task sharing began. Shancai couldn't help but sigh in relief when she saw she would be sent with her team in an area far from the barbecue and various attractions. Jing gave them the signal to fan out and Shancai didn't wait, eager to begin.
On her way to her assigned area, she tried to chat with Qinghe and Lizhen. However, her two friends were too busy bickering, pulling at each other's wings and giggling together.
The little fairy couldn't help but think about Xiaoyou, feeling desperately alone without her. She missed her friend so much. She couldn't help but remember her smile, her laugh, and her constant enthusiasm which was contagious. She wished she could speak with her just one more time.
The morning was relatively calm. The park area wasn't swarming with humans and their little monsters who tended to make a lot of damage.
She went on her task, checking the trees and plants for disease or parasite attack. She had to heal a weakened chrysanthemum, help a sick bee perk up with good pollen, caulked a tree wounds because the sap was furiously leaking out, and help a late flower bud to flourish.
