Later, thinking that she couldn't let anyone know that the man knew her, as it would bring him unnecessary trouble, she ran away.
Now, whoever causes the trouble is responsible.
Besides, one of them is the male lead and the other is the female lead. They're bound to turn bad luck into good when they encounter trouble, or other supporting characters will come out to help them solve their problems.
At this moment, the male protagonist, Ji Xianlin, looked worriedly into the crowd. She said she was coming, but he didn't know where she was.
When they found Su Li standing in the crowd, she was trying hard to get over, but she was constantly being pushed and shoved aside. She wasn't annoyed at all, and instead said softly, "Please make way, let me through."
Seeing that the person next to her hadn't heard her, Ji Xianlin pushed her further back.
He quickly called out, "Su Li, don't be afraid, stand there and wait for me!"
Ji Xianlin lowered his head and brushed away the hand that was tugging at his sleeve, then said to the woman beside him, "I'm sorry, young lady, my friend is over there. She's timid and easily frightened, and I'm worried about her."
The female lead, Yin Ruyue, was stunned when Ji Xianlin brushed her hand away. Wasn't this man just protecting her?
A large crowd of onlookers gathered around, and the burly men said, "We just want you to return our money bag; we didn't mean to make things difficult for you."
"But your purses aren't with me. Search me if you don't believe me!"
Instead of continuing to hold onto Ji Xianlin, Yin Ruyue generously opened her arms and turned around in front of the burly men, shouting loudly, "You can't just call me a thief because I bumped into you, can you?"
Yin Ruyue's movements blocked Ji Xianlin.
"Please move aside."
Ji Xianlin noticed that more and more people were coming to the bridge. Su Li was being blocked by people, and he didn't know where she was. He couldn't see her.
Yin Ruyue stepped aside, not very happy, and said, "I'm not blocking you. I just want to prove to these people that I didn't steal."
Seeing that people were making way, Ji Xianlin quickly walked towards the spot where Su Li had been standing.
This is on a bridge. If the crowd gets too big, it would be bad if people were pushed off the bridge.
By this time, Ahri had already crossed the bridge.
The female lead stealing someone's purse is a last resort, a desperate act to help someone in an emergency, and everyone will understand.
If a female supporting character steals someone's purse, she is called a thief and will be condemned by everyone.
Also, why does the female supporting character have to like the male lead? She should like someone else.
Ahri looked down at the jade pendant in her hand. "I'll use you. Whoever finds it will be the person I chat with about romance and poetry with from now on."
Ah Li walked down the bustling street, and as she walked, the jade pendant fell out of her sleeve.
The jade pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ahri, however, seemed oblivious and continued walking forward.
Shadow Two emerged from an inconspicuous spot, dressed in all black and wearing a strange mask, startling many people.
He didn't care at all what the people around him thought of him. He bent down to pick up the jade pendant and followed behind Ah Li.
Ji Xianlin finally got off the bridge and noticed Ying Er, who was dressed in black, and Su Li, who was walking ahead and didn't realize that someone was following her.
What does that person want to do?
Ji Xianlin bit his lower lip. He couldn't shout or alert Su Li. He had to get to her side as soon as possible.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and many people are out to see the lanterns.
Ah Li, however, had no interest in admiring the lanterns. Instead, she looked anxious and walked forward with her head down. Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm.
Ah Li turned around and saw Ji Xianlin, the male protagonist.
Shouldn't he be carrying the female lead to the inn now?
Where is the female lead?
Ah Li wanted to look behind Ji Xianlin, but Ji Xianlin pressed her shoulder and said, "There's no one behind us, let's go look in front."
Seeing Ji Xianlin with his hand on Yingyi's shoulder and the two walking together, Ying Er put away the jade pendant, thinking he would give it to her later.
Ji Xianlin led Ah Li forward for a long time, and when he turned around to look back, the person wearing the black mask was no longer there.
Ji Xianlin breathed a sigh of relief. Ah Li asked him, puzzled, "Did those burly men on the bridge come after us?"
"no."
Ji Xianlin didn't tell Ali that a person dressed in black had been following her, not wanting to frighten her. Instead, he asked, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me over there?"
Ahri lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed, and said, "I wanted to wait for you there, but I found that the gift I wanted to give you is missing. I want to go find it."
Ji Xianlin gently touched her head and said, "Now can you tell me what you're going to give me? I can help you look for it."
Ali whispered, "It's a round jade pendant, bluish-green in color, without any patterns, and inside there's a red bead that can rotate."
"Okay, let's look along the way again."
Ji Xianlin took Ah Li's hand and walked back the same path they had just taken.
Ah Li was very surprised. The male lead wasn't with the female lead, but instead went with the female supporting character to look for the jade pendant. Was this part of the plot?
Oh, no.
As a result, after searching for a long time, they found nothing along the way.
The people on the bridge had long since dispersed because there was no more excitement to see.
Ahri sighed softly and said, "I suppose someone picked it up."
Ji Xianlin said, "The person who picked it up didn't even stand still and wait."
"Maybe it's because the jade was inconspicuous, or maybe I fell into the water after I got on the bridge, who knows?"
Ahri became more and more upset as she spoke, her voice even sounding a little tearful; it seemed that the thing was really important to her.
Ji Xianlin lowered his head and looked at Ali's sad face. He thought, this person is really heartbroken.
Suddenly, he waved his hand in front of Ali's eyes, shook her hand, and said, "I received your gift."
Ahri quickly looked up and said anxiously, "You found it?"
Ah Li grabbed Ji Xianlin's hand, and she even pried open his fingers to look into his palm.
As a result, his palms were empty.
No.
As soon as Ah Li finished speaking, Ji Xianlin pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "Silly girl."
Ahri's head rested perfectly on his shoulder, and she also noticed that the female lead was not far away, her gaze falling on the two of them.
Ah Li asked in a low voice, "Brother Ji, is that person your friend?"
Ji Xianlin released Ali and followed Ali's gaze, turning his head to see Yin Ruyue. He frowned unhappily and said, "No, it was she who stopped me on the bridge just now. If she hadn't stopped me, I could have gone to find you sooner, and maybe I could have received the gift you wanted to give me sooner."
"Then why is she looking at us?"
"There might be something wrong with her here."
Ji Xianlin pointed to his head, took Ah Li's hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back first."
Yin Ruyue was not far away. She clearly heard what Ji Xianlin said and also noticed the way the two were holding hands.
She felt indignant and a little wronged. Why did this person say that to her?
On the bridge, he left her alone and walked away without a second thought, showing no tenderness whatsoever.
