Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Chapter 183 The Mystery of Peach Blossom Spring 2

"Are you looking for Peach Blossom Ghost Town?" A clear and gentle voice suddenly came from behind, like a mountain spring flowing, which sounded particularly pleasant in this hot and somewhat stuffy atmosphere.

Shen Ying quickly turned her head to look over, and instantly, a pair of clear eyes met her gaze.

He was a man with a cool and aloof demeanor and exquisitely handsome features, as if he had stepped out of a painting.

He was tall and slender. When Shen Ying stood in front of him, she realized that she only reached his shoulder. She looked up at him and was momentarily stunned.

The man's gaze fell gently on Shen Ying.

Looking at the other person's face, which was as beautiful as a piece of jade, Shen Ying couldn't help but swallow, her heart pounding like a deer.

She was immersed in this subtle and tense atmosphere when suddenly, her uncooperative stomach made a "grumbling" sound, which seemed particularly loud in the moment of silence, like thunder.

The man opposite clearly heard it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he were smiling.

Not only him, but also the passersby around them stopped in their tracks and all looked at Shen Ying.

Shen Ying's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She awkwardly covered her stomach with her hand, her eyes darting around nervously, silently praying that this embarrassing moment would pass quickly.

In the past two days, in order to save food, Shen Ying only dared to eat a little bit each time she ate. That little bit of food was just a drop in the ocean for her, barely enough to keep her from starving to death.

Her stomach often rumbled, like a little monster that kept complaining, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

She had gotten used to the hunger, and nothing had gone wrong in the past few days.

But who could have imagined that at such an awkward moment, facing this extraordinary man with a group of passersby around, her stomach would, as if deliberately trying to sabotage her, let out an excessively loud protest.

This was incredibly embarrassing; she felt like her face was so hot it could fry an egg.

Upon hearing the awkward growl from her stomach, the man opposite her showed no disgust but rather tenderness. He smiled and said to Shen Ying, "Miss, you seem hungry. Let me treat you to a meal."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying's eyes lit up instantly. At this moment, she no longer cared about saving face; hunger had long since made all that out of the question.

She nodded eagerly, as if grasping at a straw, her pace as rapid as a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing this, the man's smile deepened. He turned slightly to the side, made a gesture of invitation, and led Shen Ying toward the nearby town.

Shen Ying followed behind the man, her eyes fixed on his back. Her heart was filled with gratitude, and she quickened her pace unconsciously, as if the place ahead was not a restaurant, but a paradise that could save her from the sea of ​​hunger.

The man led Shen Ying leisurely towards a restaurant.

The restaurant looked quite upscale, with carved beams and painted rafters, and the waiters standing at the entrance were dressed neatly and smartly.

"Please come in, gentlemen!" the waiter greeted them warmly. His eyes swept over the two of them, and when he saw Shen Ying's beggar-like appearance, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly put on a smile again.

Shen Ying was a little nervous. She silently looked at the waiter, thinking about her dirty clothes, which made her look like a walking mud ball. She had been disliked by many people in other places before, and she thought she would be kicked out again this time.

The waiter eagerly led the way, "Sirs, please have a private room upstairs."

To Shen Ying's surprise, from the moment they entered, the waiter greeted them with a beaming smile, a scene completely different from what she had imagined.

As if in a dream, she was respectfully led to a private room.

The private room was elegantly and exquisitely decorated, with the tables and chairs spotless and a faint fragrance permeating the air. All of this made Shen Ying feel even more incredulous.

The man across from them ordered all the dishes. His long, slender fingers swept across the menu as he calmly selected the items.

Before long, all the dishes were served, and the steaming hot food emitted an enticing aroma.

Looking at the table full of dishes, she found that they actually suited her taste quite well.

Shen Ying sighed inwardly, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

She thought to herself, "We really are kindred spirits!"

This wonderful tacit understanding made her even more curious and fond of the man in front of her, and it also made the meal more warm and cozy. The original embarrassment and awkwardness gradually dissipated in the face of this delicious food.

After a satisfying meal, Shen Ying leaned back in her chair, her stomach no longer growling, and she felt completely relaxed.

At this moment, the two smiled at each other and formally introduced themselves.

"My name is Zhang Wei. It is truly fate that we meet today, young lady." The man's gentle voice rang out, and his gaze calmly fell upon Shen Ying.

"I'm Shen Ying. Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would have been starving for a long time." Shen Ying scratched her head a little shyly, her eyes full of gratitude.

A hint of urgency flashed in Shen Ying's eyes. She leaned forward slightly and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Young Master Zhang. From what you said earlier, it seems you know about Peach Blossom Ghost Town, is that right? Do you know exactly where Peach Blossom Ghost Town is?" Her gaze was fixed on Zhang Wei, full of anticipation.

Zhang Wei nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his lips, and said slowly, "I know. I am also going to Peach Blossom Ghost Town. If you don't mind, you can travel with me, so we can look after each other on the way."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying's eyes lit up instantly, and she was overjoyed. It was like a dream come true!

She was eager to have someone with her, so she nodded vigorously in agreement, her head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, her face full of undisguised joy. She quickly said, "That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Young Master Zhang. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me!"

After Zhang Wei suggested that they go together, Shen Ying was overjoyed, but looking at her dirty appearance, she hesitated.

She whispered to Zhang Wei, "Young Master Zhang, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you in this state, and it won't be convenient for us to travel."

Zhang Wei smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Miss, there's no need to worry, I'll take care of it. I know some places in this town that you can manage." Hearing this, Shen Ying felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes filled with gratitude.

So, led by Zhang Wei, they arrived at a quiet courtyard.

Hot water and clean clothes are provided.

Shen Ying looked at all of this as if she were dreaming.

She walked into the bathing room somewhat embarrassed.

Under Zhang Wei's arrangement, Shen Ying was finally able to shed her slovenly beggar image.

She stepped into the warm bathtub, washing away the fatigue and grime of the past few days; every pore seemed to cheer. After bathing, she carefully washed her hair, her long, wet hair as smooth as black silk.

When she came out wearing clean clothes, she looked completely refreshed.

The clothes fit her perfectly, highlighting her lively and playful nature.

She followed behind Zhang Wei, walking on the bustling street.
