Chapter 271: Chapter 268: Meeting
It felt like there was a big hole in her heart, through which the cold wind whistled, making each breath feel painfully sharp.
After the photo was taken, she didn’t linger any longer; after exchanging pleasantries, she smiled and took the initiative to leave.
She left without looking back, heading in the direction of her own residence.
She knew all too well why she was acting this way.
It had been many days since she and he had parted.
Time seemed to have stretched on for ages, each day dragging on extraordinarily long.
She felt she was almost at her breaking point.
Yes, she was just that pathetic.
Just then, someone suddenly called out her name from behind.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to find Sister Ling running toward her, shouting, “Come back quickly, the photo session isn’t finished.”
She frowned, “How is it not over? Didn’t we just finish taking them?”
She simply didn’t have the mood for it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Sister Ling quickly approached, grabbed her arm, and said,
“Just come with me, another department wants a group photo with you, and they’ve brought a big, fiery-red banner as a gift. You’d be missing out if you don’t take this photo.”
As she spoke those words, there seemed to be an undertone to them.
But Wen Xian didn’t catch on at that moment and couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
Which other department?
If it were not for the demands of these departments and the film crew, she would not have wanted to make such a big deal out of it, nor would she have wanted to make this honor so widely known.
It was just that the online criticism against her had been too fierce, and so she had reluctantly agreed to cooperate.
Wen Xian was losing patience.
However, when her gaze inadvertently fell on a row of off-road vehicles ahead, she found herself unable to look away.
There stood a line of people.
Faces that couldn’t be more familiar.
That, wasn’t that Sang Nian…?
And Ga Zhuo, and even Zha Xi and Zhuo Ma, who had been injured before.
Where Wen Xian’s gaze landed, there were acquaintances everywhere.
Looking at them, her eyes suddenly felt warm.
It was only at that moment that she allowed her lips to slowly curve into a genuine smile, as if opening her heart.
As she smiled, something seemed to cross her mind, and just like that, her smile froze.
The ones coming to take a photo with her were from Lu Xiao’s jurisdiction.
So, he came too, did he…
At that thought, her breath caught slightly.
Wen Xian’s eyes uncontrollably scanned the surroundings.
“Sister Xian! Sister Xian! Look at this banner we’ve made for you, how do you like it!?”
Sang Nian came running over with a fiery-red banner, still slightly out of breath.
The banner was framed with golden tassels, exuding a quality texture.
It was indeed beautiful.
Wen Xian glanced at it, her lips involuntarily twitching, “It’s pretty, but why does it say ‘Miraculous Healing Hands’?”
Are they sure it’s meant for her?
“Of course, it’s ‘Miraculous Healing Hands’! If it weren’t for your superb driving skills, how could you have saved Zha Xi’s life from the bad guys!”
Sang Nian explained, flashing a bright white smile.
Wen Xian couldn’t help but kick at him.
While she was talking with the team members, at the very end of the line of parked off-road vehicles,
a man was just watching her figure.
In fact, he had seen her the moment she appeared.
His gaze couldn’t shift away.
He originally didn’t want to come.
Even though the team was there to present her with the banner, he could have stayed away.
But at some moment, he seemed to have suddenly realized that the two of them didn’t even have a single photo together.
[Author’s Note: Couldn’t update at midnight due to system maintenance, truly lamentable. There’s another chapter coming today; the plot will take a new turn and there won’t be any more heartache. I’m on my period and haven’t finished writing, crying.]
