"A Grim reaper should let go of his past to a new one in the present. Only this way, Can one live well" The old man let out a lazy smile as he looked at SiChen.
"That should be enough for today," He said " And you should also get Busy with matters at hand, don't go around investigating into stuff you shouldn't And.... Don't listen to what anyone has to say," He said as he disappeared.
SiChen sat there alone as he looked ahead at the roadside. His eyes were there but his attention was lost.
He was thinking through what the old man had said to him. And judging from it all, The old man had emphasized forgetting the past and not trying to recall it.
This only gave SiChen the vibes that there was something more to his past. and this only got him curious.
But as the man had said, Trying to recall it would lead to terrible things. So he guessed he'd have to try his best to forget it and ignore the urge. No matter how hard it seemed.
Sitting there he saw two cars tragically colid with each other and a fatal accident ensued.
With a long Sigh, he stared at the scene for a while. He watched as people gather and then sooner, The grim reaper came to take the souls.
He sat there reluctant anyways. He simply watched.
Such was life, his life. And his job. Bring a Grim reaper, This was what he had to see... deaths.
But he was already getting used to it anyways. So he didn't say or do anything.

"Attention every student, Today The final year students begin their Gaokao exams ( The final year exams) So give them the cooperative atmosphere to study..."
"It happened that this day had merged with a school day, which is to say that after today, you guys won't be here at Their next exams, So bear with us and behave as they go through it."
"They have been practicing hard for this very day, so do your little part and keep calm as they take Their exams. Dos as your little part of contributing to their success and cheer them on!"
The voice from the school speaker ran through the school block, passing through the information around the calm school.
Unlike most noisy days, The school had no choice but to be quiet.
Throughout the classes, the students sat quietly in Their school without making any sounds. They were simply going through the books before them.
At least not all, some were simply Busy with their other stuff Like sleeping butt But they their best to be quiet.
Surprisingly enough, YiMing's class was quiet. It was something unlikely. As expected, they were noisy in their worlds, But today they had no choice but to be quiet While doing their stuff quietly.
YiMing on the Other was in her world. With the book before her, she was determined in having a rather serious study section while she prepared for the examination that was fast approaching as soon as the finals were over.
Over the past weeks, she had been busy in the crazy world of ghosts and all, So she didn't get enough time to read.
But now she was ready to take her chances and do some studying for the better!
****
"We congratulate our senior students for going through their first day of the final year examinations with a big heart and clear mind! Finally, they're done with their first day. We wish them well as they continue on the later papers!..."
As the speakers announce the end of the examinations, Most students who had been mute for too long, began stretching out themselves as they began talking.
YiMing looked up at the class that was gradually becoming noisy. She didn't seem to care anyway, she never did.
She buried her eyes in her books once again and then continued her study.
"Hey...Done reading?"
She was so engrossed in her study that she was startled on hearing someone speak to her. Thinking it was a casual student, she looked up only to see the ghost.
She was startled the more as she looked around. And then at the ghost "You....what...are you doing here?" She asked in a low tone.
Luckily the students around her had gotten up and left to the front roll where they could discuss more.
The ghost folded her hands "Of course the promise you made me...You still haven't given me any information, so I came to ask you"
The ghost questioned.
YiMing felt nervous with the ghost around, she felt like someone would see them or something even worse. So she had to find a way to drive her out.
"Well.. can't you leave in the meantime?. Maybe later We can discuss?" She requested in a low tune trying to avoid looking directly at the ghost.
"No... we must discuss it today. I'm afraid you'll abandon me" She said.
"No I won't," YiMing said. But she guessed she wasn't listening at all. "okay...Let's go out"
