Chapter 213: Ji Yan, I’m Hungry

If Ji Yan had not arrived in time, what would have happened to her? She did not dare to imagine. Shen Hanxing was very sure that the men in front of her would not let her go. They would gang r*pe her one by one. Since these people had no compassion for her, why should she let them go?

Ji Yan beat the man until the man was not responding anymore. His body twitched and he could not even groan. Ji Yan took out a handkerchief and slowly cleaned the blood on his hands. Then, he threw the handkerchief at the man’s face.

“If you don’t want him to die, then send him to the hospital immediately,” Ji Yan coldly glanced at the trembling men not far away. He turned around and walked to Shen Hanxing. He lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair fell on his forehead, adding a bit of darkness and paranoia to him.

Ji Yan squatted down and rubbed his fingertips against Shen Hanxing’s cheek. There seemed to be a giant beast stirring in the depths of his eyes. She was in such a sorry state now, but she was also so beautiful. The morning sun had just risen. Fragments of the golden rays passed through the branches in the sky above the alley and landed on Shen Hanxing’s dirty face. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her features were so surreal that it was like a painting. Her thin and beautiful figure was lying on the ground and she looked like a defeated beauty. She was like the most beautiful flower that was blooming in the mud. People would be tempted to pick this flower and place her in an exquisite vase to admire and care for every day.

The dark tide in Ji Yan’s eyes kept surging. His rationality and craziness kept fighting each other, threatening to break out of his control and surface. This kind of Ji Yan was shocking. However, Shen Hanxing raised her eyes and looked straight at him without dodging. She shouted, “Ji Yan.”

After a long while, Ji Yan finally responded with a deep voice, “Yes.”

“My legs are weak. I don’t have any strength.” Shen Hanxing looked at him. She softly said, “I’m so hungry. I want to eat at the wonton shop in the alley. The handmade wontons sold at the stall are very delicious.” Her clear and sweet voice carried a hint of exhaustion and her dark eyebags were visible. Her tone when she spoke to him was soft, as though she was acting coquettishly.

The dark emotions on Ji Yan’s body had unknowingly receded, and the sunlight that had been swallowed finally shone into his eyes.

“Okay,” Ji Yan replied gently.

Then, he turned around to signal to her, “I’ll carry you there, my wife.”

Shen Hanxing did not politely refuse him. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and then laid on his broad back. Ji Yan applied some force with his arms and slowly stood up with her on his back. Step by step, he walked extremely steadily, a little cautiously even, as though the person on his back was his entire world.

As they walked into the distance, the golden sunlight shone on the earth, and the two figures merged into one. After eating the wonton, Shen Hanxing went to the hotel to take a shower and change her clothes. Only then did she regain her vitality and throw herself into the activities on the commercial street today.

The entire commercial street was decorated with an antique style. Many shop attendants were wearing traditional costumes and waiting for customers with smiles on their faces. A huge painting was placed at the entrance of the commercial street. The painting was a magnificent scene of the Lantern Festival in ancient times.

When Shen Hanxing arrived, there was another surprise waiting for her.

Zheng Youcai brought everyone from the production team and the connections he had accumulated in school over the years. They appeared on the commercial street in traditional costumes. This depressed and unfulfilled young director even held up his phone and broadcasted live. After he saw Shen Hanxing, he greeted her excitedly, “Mrs. Ji, everyone is waiting for you to come over!”

Due to the previous promotion, the film crew of “Missing Girl” had already gained a certain level of popularity, attracting many fans and expectant viewers. Liu Qin stood beside Zheng Youcai, her face was full of smiles. She looked at the people coming and going on the commercial street cheerfully and sighed, “There are so many people today.”

Indeed, after publicizing this for a while, the activities on the commercial street could be regarded as a success, making a name for themselves. Although it had just started, the human traffic was substantial.

The lively scene made Shen Hanxing smile a little. Such a grand scene was the best reward for her hard work during this period.

Zheng Youcai’s live broadcast camera happened to be secretly filming Shen Hanxing. Sensing her smile, the viewers in the live broadcast room instantly became excited. They commented, “Ah ah ah ah, this smile of hers… it’s so beautiful!”

During this period, filming and life had been smooth sailing. This made Zheng Youcai’s personality a little livelier. He gathered with Han Yin and read aloud the viewers’ comments on the screen. Shen Hanxing heard the viewers’ praise for her. Some viewers confessed to her and said that they loved her. The smile on her face became brighter and brighter. Everyone was very happy. Only Ji Yan, who had been standing by the side and holding Shen Hanxing’s hand tightly, frowned.
