A disgusting feeling of fear and shame came over her in an instant. Jiang Ruolan screamed out and desperately tried to push the man away, but her arms were suddenly suppressed by the man. The stench of the man's sweat filled her nose, and she was so disgusted that she wanted to dodge.
"Ah! Little bitch, you actually dared to bite me!"
*Pa!*
The heavy slap on her face caused her to feel dizzy. Jiang Ruolan's originally blurry vision became even more blurry, and her entire body began to trembling violently.
"Hurry up! Why don't I go first!"
"F*ck off! I said I'll go first! It was precisely this girl who was so disobedient, she had to be taught a lesson! It will be more comfortable for us to play if she is more obedient."
Jiang Ruolan's body was pulled up. Her body was cold and painful. At this moment, she felt angry, anxious, and afraid, her body trembling non-stop, and she struggled and screamed with all her might."Let me go! Let me go! No! Get lost! Somebody, please help me!"
"Tsk tsk. Little girl, don't cry. Uncle will properly love you ~ ~ ~."
Waves of malicious and lecherous laughter echoed in her ears.
Her body was suddenly fiercely pressed down into the ice-cold muddy floor. The cold, dirty, and terrifying feeling thoroughly assaulted all of her nerves.
The other men rushed towards her at the same time and held her down. Their hair was torn apart as she struggled, and their faces were slapped a dozen times consecutively.
"Someone, help me!"
"Let me go!"
"Don't touch me, let go!"
Jiang Ruolan was in despair...
"Don't..."
"Please, let me go."
"Let me go."
"Ruolan?"
Jiang Ruolan's hands, which had been struggling with all her might, were held by a warm hand, and beside her ear was a familiar soothing voice.
Jiang Ruolan gasped and immediately opened her teary eyes. She stared dazedly at Xian Zihao's worried face.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Xian Zihao's fingers gently caressed the tears that rolled down her cheeks.
Jiang Ruolan didn't expect the despair and fear on her face to be so obvious. Her heart clenched, caught off guard, and she was unable to move for a long time. Her face was deathly pale.
It had been a very long time since she had had this dream. She had tried so hard to forget what had happened that year, not wanting to let those memories that almost stained her life haunt her forever. But, why did she suddenly have this dream again?
Xian Zihao's handsome face creased slightly, but he did not say a word. He hugged her cold body into his embrace, "What kind of dream did you have? Why do you look so terrified?"
Jiang Ruolan's lips moved, but nothing came out of her mouth. She hugged Xian Zihao tightly, smelling his scent and gradually trying to calm her heart. The despair and fear that filled her heart were replaced with something she had never felt before.
Xian Zihao's hand lightly caressed the back of her head. He was coaxing her, and his heart ached when he saw her tearful and terrifying expression.
Jiang Ruolan shook her head in his arms and said with a hint of emotion in her slightly hoarse voice, "Zihao, people often can't tell reality from dreams, but I've already had a good life. There's no need to overthink those dreams, right?"
Everything that happened before the age of seventeen was just a matter of the past. The current Jiang Ruolan could live a peaceful life, and she did not want to talk about the unknown past, nor did she want to tell it to anyone. People shouldn't open up their wounds again for others to appreciate.
"Be it a dream or reality, I am here. Don't be afraid."
Xian Zihao's voice had a trace of helplessness within it. His slightly hoarse voice stuck close to her ear and his gaze was like a clear spring. Warm and tranquil.
Xian Zihao gently lifted her chin and kissed her lips.
Jiang Ruolan curled her lips into a smile and snuggled into his embrace.
The side of the fat man's face in the previous photo flashed across her mind...

H City's airport was swarming with people. Jiang Ruolan sat in the car while waiting for Xian Guiying. She looked at the time and then looked at the people in the arrival hall in the distance."Didn't you say that the flight was only one hour late? Why hasn't Guiying come out yet?"
"Are you tired?" Xian Zihao looked at Jiang Ruolan's pale face. He intertwined their hands and said, "Do you want to lie down in the back seat and sleep for a while?"
"No need, I'm just a bit tired." Jiang Ruolan raised her hand to rub her forehead a few times and sighed."It's probably because I was resting and recuperating at home too often. When I suddenly started to return to normal life, I couldn't get used to it, wanting to sleep no matter where I went. I also was too sleepy at work that day."
Suddenly a thought crossed her mind. She was always tired, wanted to sleep all the time, and her appetite also increased. This was all Xian Zihao's fault. He made her get used to laziness. No, she had to change it. She had to change it!
While Jiang Ruolan was lost in thought, Xian Guiying walked out of the airport lobby, wearing a loose sports casual outfit. She put on her sunglasses and looked around.
"It's Guiying!" Jiang Ruolan immediately looked in Xian Guiying's direction with a beaming smile. She noticed that the clothes Xian Guiying was wearing this time didn't seem to be the same as the ones she had worn last time.
In Jiang Ruolan's impression, Xian Guiying had a tall, curvy, sexy figure. She wore tight, small leather clothes that accentuated her looks as if she understood her own strengths. The clothes she wore last time when she returned for the Mid-Autumn Festival were the type that significantly accentuated her figure, but this time, she was unexpectedly wearing such loose clothes.
Xian Guiying spotted them at first glance and immediately walked towards Xian Zihao's car.
Jiang Ruolan rolled down the window and smiled at her. Xian Guiying had taken off her sunglasses."Guiying, you need to go home more often. Otherwise, I'll be very bored ~."
At the same time, Jiang Ruolan purposely said those words, Xian Zihao's handsome brows slightly raised as if he had noticed the intention behind those words. A gentle smile appeared on his lips.
Xian Guiying also didn't expect it to be like this ...
Her beautiful eyes stared quietly at Jiang Ruolan. After a long while, she calmly replied, "Sister-in-law, I hope you've been well since the last time we met."
Jiang Ruolan smiled."It must be tiring after spending such a long time on the plane. You take the front, I will sit in the back." As she spoke, Jiang Ruolan wanted to open the car's door.
"No need, I don't mind sitting in the back." It was rare for Xian Guiying to feel this kind of warmth when returning home. Although she could tell that Jiang Ruolan was doing this intentionally, she still accepted her good intentions.
Xian Guiying smiled at her and walked to the back seat with her luggage.
Xian Zihao had already got out of the car. He walked around the car and put Xian Guiying's luggage in the trunk.
At the same time, Xian Guiying gave Xian Zihao a meaningful look.
"Brother, why are you so free these days? It's rare for you to have the time to pick me up ~" Xian Guiying raised her eyebrows and asked before she got in the car. She seemed to be in a good mood.
