The bandit, however, was moved by compassion and refused to make a move. He said, "In the past, when I was being pursued by the government troops, I had no choice but to wipe out your entire village. Now that I'm out of trouble, it's not that I have to kill you. If you want to kill me, fine. Considering that you saved me back then, I'll give you a chance to seek revenge."
The master thief took the female protagonist home and personally taught her martial arts.
As they spent more time together, feelings developed between them. The thief fell for the heroine, buying her flowers, eyebrows, and jewelry, and even considered marrying her.
Just as the master thief was plotting a wedding for the heroine, she mastered her martial arts and beheaded him.
On his deathbed, the bandit asked the female protagonist, "If I hadn't slaughtered your entire village and attacked you, would you have loved me?"
The female lead said calmly, "No. Our natures are different, and we are destined to be incompatible."
The thief smiled bitterly: "I was once a chivalrous knight-errant."
The female protagonist said, "A mistake is a mistake."
In the end, the heroine handed the bandit's head over to the authorities. With her martial arts skills, she traveled the world, shutting down brothels, rebuilding villages, and every year on this day, she would place a sprig of dogwood at her door.
The story is simple, but Zhang Huanqing's filming technique is delicate and moving, and the male and female leads are both very good-looking. After the screening, the entire theater was silent, as if everyone was immersed in that faint sadness.
He Jing sighed again: "It would be great if the male lead was played by my second brother."
This master thief is handsome, but not handsome enough. It's normal that the female lead isn't interested; it's not very convincing.
If He Ning had played the role, the audience's sense of regret would have increased at least threefold.
Yan Hanxi didn't have any particular feelings. He was very familiar with this film, and he didn't like watching this type of film. He only praised it in the first place to lure He Jing out.
"You seem to really want your second brother to debut, don't you?"
Ever since those two big shots behind her started complaining about their own celebrity endorsers, she'd been wondering what it would be like to have He Ning come instead.
He Jingchao muttered to herself, "Who wouldn't want a dazzling older brother?"
Of course, playing basketball is super cool too!
However, these thoughts were fleeting and didn't go too far. He Jing received a reply from He Ning—
Tonight at 2 AM, CCTV Sports Channel.
He Jing suddenly stood up from her seat.
CCTV?!
He's on the field!
Yan Hanxi raised her phoenix eyes: "A model student?"
"I'm going back now, that's all."
He Jing looked hurried.
Yan Hanxi grabbed her arm: "What did Second Brother say? Let me see."
He Jing glanced at her phone and said, "I'm going back to watch my second brother play basketball."
Let's play ball, it's not even 11 o'clock yet, there's plenty of time.
Yan Hanxi suggested in a serious tone, "Let's go to my house to see."
He Jing: "?"
Yan Hanxi: "My TV screen is big."
He Jing: "..."
The He family's TV screen is also very large!
Yan Hanxi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "How about I call Mom?"
He Jing's eyelids trembled: "No."
Mother He is arguably the most doting mother to her son-in-law. The moment he makes a phone call, she practically throws him into her arms!
Yan Hanxi smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "Then let's go."
He Jing was speechless: "Isn't it the same no matter where you look at it?"
Yan Hanxi: "We agreed that we could have a full-day date, not a single hour less!"
...
This was He Jing's first time visiting Yan Hanxi's place. Because he didn't want to stay with Yan's father, Yan Hanxi bought his own villa, located in the center of a wealthy neighborhood in City A.
