The vehicle took a sudden turn. Mingxi, standing in the middle of the carriage, was caught off guard and instinctively reached behind her, grabbing Senior Li Feng. The feel of what she grabbed was very wrong.
She felt the body beneath her hand stiffen in an instant. She might never have seen a pig run, but she had certainly eaten pork. She immediately understood exactly what she had grabbed.
Then she let go at lightning speed and turned around, raising both hands halfway and pressing herself against the side of the seat behind her. Facing him head-on, she made it clear that she was pure and innocent.
The sun was already sinking in the west. Golden rays bounced along with the vehicle, flashing across their faces from time to time like stage lights following the lead actors and reminding the audience: Look here.
At that moment, Li Feng stood facing Mingxi, one hand gripping the seat and the other pretending to cover his stomach. Neither of them could have been clearer about where the pain really was.
He wanted to say something, but held back, gritting his teeth. In the end, his face turned red from the effort.
This was the climax of the play, the restraint before emotions erupted, the biggest highlight of the whole show.
Silence spoke louder than words...
