Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

downstairs.

The pawnshop owner had just finished whispering instructions to his clerk and was leaning leisurely against the counter, thinking about how to repay the favor he had helped Shopkeeper Song so much this time, but at this moment, the door of the shop was pushed open with a loud bang.

A tall and straight figure, wrapped in the lights of the street, strode into the store.

The shopkeeper was startled and looked up subconsciously.

The man was wearing an ordinary grey gown, with a stern face and a furrowed brow. The oppressive feeling he exuded made the originally spacious pawnshop seem cramped.

The shopkeeper's mind trembled, and he subconsciously stood up straight, putting on a business smile on his face, "Sir, the shop is closed..."

But before he could finish his words, the man's sharp eyes had already swept across the entire lobby quickly. Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he took two steps at a time and walked directly to the counter with a cold voice.

"What about people?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened by his aura that he subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "Who...who is it?"

Hearing this, the man took a deep breath, as if trying his best to control his surging emotions, and explained in a deep voice: "The lady who pawned the bracelet."

At this moment, the teahouse owner, Song, who had been running out of breath, finally arrived. Upon seeing this, he quickly leaned against the door frame and gasped for breath, saying urgently, "Old Li! This is our boss! The lady upstairs is his sister! Is she okay?"

The shopkeeper suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly glanced at the gray-clothed man's features. Seeing that he did bear some resemblance to the young lady upstairs, the tense feeling in his heart relaxed immediately and his face was immediately filled with an attentive smile.

"Oh! It's you, sir! What a misunderstanding! The young lady is resting in her elegant room upstairs! I saw she looked tired, as if she were exhausted and hungry, so I had some refreshments prepared and asked her to sit upstairs and wait for you to come..."

When Shen Jingyuan heard the words "tired and hungry", his eyes suddenly darkened. Without waiting for the shopkeeper to lead the way, he turned around abruptly and strode straight towards the stairs.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze for a moment, and he felt a sudden shock in his heart, and quickly trotted to catch up.

At this moment, upstairs, Lin Xi, who was struggling to climb up the windowsill to get out, suddenly heard a series of chaotic and noisy footsteps behind her. It sounded like a lot of people coming, and the footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closer. She couldn't help but be startled.

The real culprit behind her kidnapping must be here! I must not fall into their hands!

"Help! Help! There's a fire! Someone come and put it out!"

The arrow was on the string, and Lin Xi didn't care whether it would alarm the people coming. After struggling to stick out half of her shoulder, she shouted at the top of her voice towards the street market downstairs.

At the corner of the stairs, Shen Jingyuan, who was running hard upstairs, suddenly heard this clear and terrified cry for help, and his heart suddenly sank.

His face changed drastically, and he no longer cared about anything else. He increased his speed to the extreme, climbed the remaining stairs in a few steps, and rushed to the closed door.

Lin Xi had just shouted halfway when she suddenly heard a loud "bang" behind her, as if the door was slammed open by someone with great force.

She was so frightened that her body trembled suddenly. She didn't care about the pain in her chest caused by the rough window frame, and the danger of half of her body hanging in the air. She held on to the edge of the windowsill with both hands and tried her best to climb out.

On this side, Shen Jingyuan kicked the door open and saw a screen painted with mountains and rivers. Behind the screen, there was flickering fire and swaying figures. His heart suddenly tightened and he roughly lifted the screen.

The moment he looked up, Shen Jingyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw a disheveled figure hanging on the narrow window high above my head in front of me.

Most of the man's body was already leaning out of the window, with only his lower body and two legs still stuck inside, kicking wildly in the air.

At the same time, Lin Xi's screams, tinged with tears and fear, continued to be heard, "The fire is breaking! Help! Help! Someone—!"

Shen Jingyuan's heart tightened at first, but then he quickly reacted. Combined with Lin Xi's strange posture in front of him, his heart, which had been hanging all the way, suddenly fell back to reality.

An indescribable anger and fear surged in his heart, and Shen Jingyuan felt the blue veins on his forehead begin to throb uncontrollably again.

He took a big step forward, stretched out his arms, and accurately held Lin Xizheng's legs that were kicking wildly. He suppressed the emotions that were surging in his chest and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Shen Yueya! What are you doing!?"

Lin Xi was struggling to climb out, thinking of escaping from the devil's cave, when she was suddenly tightly gripped by someone on her legs. She trembled suddenly and was frightened out of her wits.

She subconsciously kicked her legs hard, trying to throw the person under her off.

But unexpectedly, the man's arms were like iron clamps, and no matter how she struggled, she didn't move at all.

She was frightened and panicked, and suddenly remembered that she still had the broken porcelain piece in her arms. She wanted to reach out and take it out to give the villain a good beating.

But her upper body was stuck outside the window, and her two hands were clinging to the cracks in the outer wall to stabilize her body, and she couldn't pull them back at all!

Like a bird with its wings pinched, she could only scratch the rough wall panels with her fingers in vain, using all her strength to resist the force that was trying to drag her back.

But at this moment, a voice that clearly contained suppressed anger suddenly came from below.

"Shen Yueya! What are you doing!?"

Shen Yueya?

Lin Xi's nerves, which were tense to the extreme, suddenly stopped, her struggling movements paused for a moment, and her brain went blank because of the sudden call.

Shen Yueya...who is it?

She did have a nickname, Yueya, which her mother had given her when she was little, saying it was because her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled.

But... her last name isn't Shen?

Shen?

Shen...Shen Jingyuan?!
