Mi Ai didn't press further, but instead led her to the elevator.
Upon seeing the elevator, Ye Qi looked back and forth between the elevator and Mi Ai, her bewilderment barely concealed.
Mi Ai saw through her thoughts at a glance and didn't try to hide anything: "Our rule here is that you must take the stairs to go upstairs. No matter what the emergency is, you can't break the rules. You can take the elevator downstairs."
Hearing Mi Ai's explanation, Ye Qi seemed to be deep in thought.
She followed Mi Ai into the elevator and watched as Mi Ai pressed the button for the basement level. The elevator button flashed from 100 onwards.
Ye Qi was still hesitating whether to speak or not when Mi Ai spoke first: "Those people are scary, aren't they?"
Ye Qi didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a second. She quickly came to her senses and nodded, saying, "Mm."

Ye Qi nodded, indicating that she understood.
She kept looking into Mi Ai's eyes, her face sparkling with a thirst for knowledge, and Mi Ai smiled in response to her silent gaze.
Ye Qi was torn between whether or not to speak up; her hesitation held her back.
Mi Ai seemed to see right through her: "What? You're afraid to trust anyone anymore?"
Ye Qi felt embarrassed for a moment after being exposed by Mi Ai. She subconsciously wanted to look away, but at the same time she was slightly amazed by the other person's keenness. However, she stammered and dared not say anything.
