Chapter 372: Chapter 373: True Hero (Reward for More)

September, a month of brilliant sunshine, flourishing blooms, and even more so, a global carnival of fashion and art!

After several days of street photography, on September 1, He Jinxia had finally met Aishang’s requirements and began promoting the Feier sports brand campaign, yet the content of the campaign—

was still to keep on shooting!

But this time, He Jinxia could finally change into different attire, no longer wearing various modern outfits, but donning Hanfu rich in Huaxia style instead.

On the edge of the Champs Elysees, He Jinxia wore a tender green cross-collared ruqun, complemented by a white hollow-out floral and bird pattern waist belt, with purposely made white underlays at the neckline and sleeve cuffs, which also featured the hollow-out pattern.

From a distance, it bore an uncanny resemblance to foreign lace.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the hidden patterns sewn into the ruqun, which under direct sunlight appeared faintly, adding a noble aura to He Jinxia.

Accompanying this outfit, she had her hair styled in a dangling split bun, accented with a pink jeweled hairpin, vividly showcasing her lively and adorable charm.

Compared with a throng of boldly dressed women, He Jinxia’s attire unquestionably stood out, attracting the attention of many passersby.

"Who is that person?" someone exclaimed in confusion.

"She looks somewhat familiar."

"Me too, it’s like I’ve seen her somewhere before."

...

More and more foreigners gathered around He Jinxia, some found it novel and started taking pictures with their phones and uploading them online.

Without any beauty enhancements, He Jinxia’s real appearance was captured, drawing crowds of foreigners who prioritize physical appearance to follow and rave about the images, with many inquiring about the shooting location, wanting to go there to see for themselves.

[What a beautiful young girl! She looks underage, doesn’t she?]

[Elf! A gorgeous female elf! An elf born from the bosom of the wild nature!]

[So beautiful, although I feel Huaxia people all look quite similar, this one is really beautiful, with a distinct facial structure, is she mixed?]

[Wait, that’s Chen Xiaohui, can’t you recognize her, Chen! Xiao! Hui! Ahh!!!]

[What? The Chen Xiaohui who succeeded in losing weight??]

Suddenly, INS was buzzing.

All the fans who had been attracted by "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" in the past few days swarmed the person’s page, expressing their adoration and admiration for Chen Xiaohui.

Ironically, "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" being He Jinxia’s debut film, was premiered in Huaxia and some other countries, and if the premiere performed well, it would then be recommended for screening in cinemas of other countries.

Though the box office numbers of "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" were not stellar in the grand market of Huaxia, at most considered a temporary hit, the spirit embodied in the film however received considerable praise abroad, as did the authentic weight loss scenes, which left international film pickers in awe when they visited Huaxia.

Thus, after "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" was removed from Huaxia Cinema, it smoothly sold many international screening rights.

And coincidentally, a few days ago, this film had just premiered in cinemas in country M, not heavily promoted but, relying on the excellent word-of-mouth from those who attended, it began trending in country M.

These days, major cinemas in country M increased the screening schedule of "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" Although it only went from one midnight show to adding an afternoon and an evening show, not a vast increase, it was nonetheless a positive sign.

Obese individuals abroad are not fewer than those in Huaxia, due to local customs and food varieties, it can be said that the foreign obese population far exceeds that of Huaxia.

He Jinxia, who portrayed Chen Xiaohui, was considered a warrior, a fighter, a true hero by some obese people in M country for bravely confronting and seeking solutions to obesity issues.

At that moment, when He Jinxia’s photos appeared on Instagram, those obese individuals went crazy. They were eager to meet He Jinxia in person and sought her advice on weight loss.

At this time, the person who uploaded the photo saw the increasing number of comments and felt they had opened Pandora’s box, and decisively chose to play dead and not respond.

Even so, that could not withstand the sharp eyes of the masses. Merely from the background of He Jinxia’s photos, netizens quickly identified several locations. Eventually, a kind-hearted Huaxia person commented:

[Chen Xiaohui is coming to M country during this period, and it’s clearly for Fashion Week!]

The others suddenly realized and immediately knew where to find He Jinxia.

Meanwhile, as He Jinxia was still having her photo taken, she was completely unaware of the looming crowd surge.

Half an hour later, the photographer gave her an "OK" sign, indicating that they had taken enough photos.

He Jinxia let out a long breath, found a tree to sit down under, and relaxed her body.

Taking pictures in traditional costumes still requires some tricks. The expression and posture are indispensable for presenting the most beautiful side under the light and shadow; the body must not relax throughout the shooting in order to maintain the best posture at all times.

This was also to increase efficiency, allowing the photographer to capture the best photos more quickly.

Cheng Xiaohua came up, massaged He Jinxia’s shoulders for a moment, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

He Jinxia nodded, smiling, "I can hold on till lunch."

Cheng Xiaohua, having thought of something, rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a chocolate bar, handing it to her, "Have this to tide you over. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be eating soon."

He Jinxia took the chocolate and began eating. Looking up, she saw Luo You talking with the photographer. Both of them were huddled around the camera, discussing fervently.

She did want to go over and help. As the main focus of the photos, no one knew better than her which shots would best highlight her beauty.

But, language was a major barrier. The team members, Tony and Bruce, who were fluent in foreign languages, had started going wild in M country since their arrival and hadn’t been seen in days. The only one left who could speak a foreign language was Luo You. After thinking it over, He Jinxia decided not to add to Luo You’s trouble.

A burst of camera shutter sounds came through. He Jinxia looked in the direction of the sounds, catching the last flash in the photo.

She frowned unconsciously, scanning the surroundings, feeling that something was amiss.

"Sister Xiao Hua, don’t you think there are a lot of people gathered around me?"

Cheng Xiaohua looked up, scanned the surroundings, and laughed, "Yes, there are more than there were just a while ago. It’s all the people who come here after lunch to take a walk, and it’s not surprising that they gather even more."

She explained, "This location is a popular place for celebrity street photography, so it’s common for passersby to go through here."

"Brother Luo and I noticed during your photo shoot that foreigners seem quite interested in you. The crowd around you was several times larger than other people’s, and now as lunchtime is nearing, more people are coming out for a walk, making the crowd even bigger."

He Jinxia thought about it and felt it made sense.

Unfortunately, ten minutes later, Cheng Xiaohua’s remarks were brutally debunked by reality.

He Jinxia wished she could go back to ten minutes earlier when there was at least a hope of breaking through the crowd, unlike now, where she wanted to leave but couldn’t, surrounded completely by a sea of people!
