I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.
Chapter 47 Jiang Xuemei
After Chen Dingkun left, Li Chang'an held the copper coin in his hand, feeling surprised.
This was the first time he had come into contact with a real-world object that was recognized by the narrator and had special effects.
Moreover, unlike Brother Chen and Master Huang, is the Wo Shing Wo triad given a special identity by the narrator?
No, if we trace it back to the source, it's not just Wo Shing Wo that's recognized by the narrator, but also the Hung Society, which is connected to it!
The Hongmen is also known as the Heaven and Earth Society or the Triad Society.
It was a secret Chinese society formed during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with the aim of overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming, and helping each other.
After more than a hundred years of evolution, it is no longer a single gang, but has become a vast network of Chinese organizations covering both domestic and international locations.
For example, the three major triads in Hong Kong all claim to be branches of the Hung Society and adhere to its principles.
Chinese organizers in Southeast Asia, Chinatowns in the United States, Canada, Japan, and other regions also organize businesses and activities under the names of Hung Society or Triads.
If the narrator can acknowledge all the Hongmen Chinese organizations both at home and abroad, then he seems to have found a way to continuously trigger plot events or special items.
However, this matter is a long way off, so there's no need to rush it now.
Li Chang'an suppressed his thoughts, put away the copper coins, and then looked at the girl he had rescued, Jiang Shuwan.
Although Jiang Shuwan had taken medicine, she was still running a low-grade fever, so she was wrapped in a thin blanket and her body was trembling slightly under the blanket.
He got up and walked to the front of the police station, closing the glass door that had been open after Chen Dingkun left, blocking out the cold wind and rain from the outside.
Jiang Shuwan then stopped trembling.
"Jiang, when are you leaving?"
"I'll have to wait a little longer. Someone will come to pick me up soon, but it's so late and raining heavily, it won't be easy for them to find a car to come over."
As Jiang Shuwan spoke, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, forced herself to cheer up, and gave a bright smile.
"Senior Li, now that you're alright, you should go back and rest."
But please tell me, Senior Li, where you live. I must visit you to thank you properly for saving my life.
Li Chang'an shook his head.
"Don't make it sound so harsh. Tonight was a close call for you, but it's still a bad memory. It's better to let it fade away gradually."
There's no need for a personal visit to express gratitude; I believe anyone with a modicum of justice wouldn't stand idly by.
"Thank you, Senior Li. After all these years, you are still as gentle and warm-hearted as ever."
Li Chang'an was puzzled after hearing Jiang Shuwan's words.
So many years have passed... Have I met her before?
"Speaking of which, Jiang has been calling me 'senior' since just now. Have we met before?"
As Li Chang'an spoke, he touched his nose.
It's quite awkward when others remember you but you don't.
Jiang Shuwan smiled generously.
"It's normal that Senior Li doesn't remember me. After all, on the day of the Asian Ballet Competition a few years ago, you had two stunningly beautiful senior sisters by your side, one of whom even won the gold medal in the youth group."
Compared to their dazzling presence, it's indeed difficult for me to be remembered by the senior students...
Upon hearing the term "Asian Ballet Competition," Li Chang'an immediately recalled some things.
One year in secondary school, the Asian Ballet Competition happened to be held on Hong Kong Island.
The class monitor practiced ballet when he was a child and won many awards. Although he stopped practicing after entering middle school, he still signed up to participate on a whim.
Su Xingning then dragged him along to be an audience member and cheer on the class monitor.
During this time, out of curiosity, Su Xingning went to play backstage where the class monitor was, leaving him behind in the venue.
Then Li Chang'an got a little lost in the huge hall, since there were other competitions in the venue besides ballet.
During his wanderings, he happened to encounter a girl who had accidentally torn the ribbon on her dance shoes.
He followed the girl to the ballet studio, but the girl was in a panic because her ballet shoes were broken and she didn't have time to find new ones in the right size before going on stage.
So Li Chang'an borrowed a needle and thread from someone, and finally, before going on stage, he held her foot, which was wearing dance shoes, and helped her sew the ribbon.
Afterwards, Su Xingning learned that he had held another girl's feet with both hands for more than five minutes. She was extremely disgusted and washed his hands three times with soap before she stopped.
But Li Chang'an remembered that the girl should have had long hair back then.
Seeing that Li Chang'an remembered her, Jiang Shuwan was somewhat pleased. She said:
"I only started growing my hair short in the last two years."
Actually, it should be after that day that I cut my hair short.
Because that girl named Su Xingning had short hair back then...
Jiang Shuwan thought to herself, then suddenly coughed softly.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an got up again and borrowed some brown sugar and ginger slices from the police officer to make her a cup of warm brown sugar ginger water.
Listening to the night rain outside the window, Jiang Shuwan held the cup in both hands and sipped the warm brown sugar ginger water. Suddenly, she felt that the embarrassment of the night had disappeared a lot.
She whispered, "Senior Li, I'm really grateful to you that day."
"It's nothing, I was just helping out. You also showed me the way."
I just don't know if my stitching fit properly; I hope it didn't affect your performance on stage.
Jiang Shuwan shook her head, gently lifted her little feet, and looked at it with a touch of nostalgia, saying:
"My senior sewed them very well. I wore the shoes he sewed and won the silver medal in such a big competition for the first time... Although I still didn't surpass Senior Wen, I was very happy."
"Does Jiang still know Wen Zhilan?"
"Yes, when I was a child model, I often ran into Senior Wen on the set of clothing and magazine shoots."
She was already very famous and dazzling in the fashion industry back then. It's a pity that Wen Xuejie later left the industry, otherwise she would definitely have become a very famous model.
Including ballet... But even if Senior Wen stops practicing, no one can compare to her. I feel sorry for her, but I'm just worrying unnecessarily, haha~”
Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised; the class monitor was actually a child star, truly a hidden talent.
Moreover, judging from Jiang Shuwan's resentful expression when she mentions Wen Zhilan, it seems she still harbors some obsession with Wen Zhilan.
He truly lives up to his reputation as class monitor; he puts so much pressure on others wherever he goes.
Seeing that Jiang Shuwan was in a bad mood, Li Chang'an changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, my sister is also a model."
She got into the industry a year ago through an introduction from a senior in a school club, and it seems she has quite a few fans now…”
Jiang Shuwan asked curiously, "Why does it sound like you're a little unfamiliar with your sister, senior?"
Li Chang'an casually said, "As girls grow up, their relationship with their brothers tends to become more distant. Maybe she wants to be more independent. She really hasn't contacted me in a long time."
Jiang Shuwan lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "Not all sisters are like this."
"If I were my senior's sister, with such a gentle and reliable older brother, I definitely wouldn't distance myself from him like this..."
The two chatted quietly.
Before long, the rain subsided, and the sound of a car engine could be heard in the distance.
Four girls dressed in the uniforms of Delan Girls' School hurriedly followed a blonde, blue-eyed foreign teacher into the police station.
"Senior Jiang!"
Oh my god! God bless!
The foreign teacher hugged Jiang Shuwan, her voice trembling with relief, and whispered a prayer from the Bible, thankfully praying for God's protection of Jiang Shuwan.
The predecessor of Delan Girls' School was a Catholic church, so many teachers and students are religious. Jiang Shuwan and the other junior girls were already used to this.
After comforting Teacher Winnie, the girls huddled together and whispered words of concern for her.
"Jiang, many of your classmates at the hotel are very worried about you after they found out you were kidnapped."
However, Ms. Winnie could only find two cars to come, so she only sent Changyue and us as representatives.
"I'm sorry to have worried everyone... I'm already relieved that you could come."
Fortunately, Senior Li intervened in time, and I'm alright this time, so don't be afraid for me anymore.
"Hey, Changyue, what's wrong?"
After comforting her junior classmates, Jiang Shuwan turned around and saw another junior classmate, Li Changyue, who was usually a bit aloof but had a good relationship with her, standing at the entrance of the police station.
Her gaze was fixed on Li Chang'an behind her.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Jiang Shuwan saw, besides surprise, a hint of something else in those slightly upturned, aloof phoenix eyes…
resentment?
