Chapter 449 Forbidden Love
Chapter 449 Forbidden Love
"Ding--"
The sound of the doorbell vibrating, mixed with the sound of cutting vegetables downstairs, was not harsh.
Shen Lizhen wore a porcelain blue silk cheongsam with a high collar and short sleeves. Her long hair was tied up and she wore two-inch long glass jade earrings on her ears. Only half of her face was shown in the camera, but it couldn't hide her charm.
The sound of leather shoes was heard, and then the wooden door opened.
"Mr. Qiao, is Mr. Gu here?" The moment the door opened, Shen Lizhen skillfully put on a smile and asked softly.
"He's out." The man's voice was deep and mellow.
"Oh……"
"Why, did you forget to buy the newspaper again?"
The question sounded a bit intimate, and the slightly faded smile on Shen Lizhen's face reappeared, "Yes, I'll come back later."
"Let me help you look for it."
The man spoke again. This time, a hint of surprise flashed across Shen Lizhen's eyes. She subconsciously paused for two seconds, "...Thank you."
The man's footsteps were heard again, and he seemed to be walking deeper into the house.
Shen Lizhen's eyes moved from left to right to the door frame, and then to the floor. She subconsciously pursed her lips, her fingers tightly clasped the door frame, her eyes were wandering, and the camera also moved slightly following the slight sway of her body.
It was obvious that she was considering whether or not to step through the door.
If she went in, she would be faced with the situation of being alone in a room with Qiao Yucheng. These neighbors would see them every now and then, and they might cause some gossip.
But if she didn't go in... she felt a strong desire in her heart, hesitation, uneasiness and desire, which were like the devil in the Bible that entangled her and prevented her from getting rid of it.
Just as she made up her mind to take this step, the camera quickly panned, and through the glass window, one could see Qiao Yucheng in a striped shirt walking out with a newspaper in his hand. His broad back covered most of Shen Lizhen's body.
"Is this the one?"
"Yes, that's right." Shen Lizhen lowered her head, smiled, and took the newspaper.
Qiao Yucheng took two steps forward, and from the camera's perspective, he completely blocked her.
The two figures overlapped.
"I used to watch it often. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't watch it for a day."
Shen Lizhen looked up at him, revealing her beautiful face and a gentle smile, "Really? You also like to read martial arts novels?"
The camera changed and froze on the picture of Qiao Yucheng smiling at Shen Lizhen while she was talking - the angle of this scene was just right, perfectly showing his handsome facial features, which were surprisingly suitable for the formal suit.
"I was fascinated for a while, and I even thought about writing it myself." Fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes as he smiled, making him even more charming - just like a novel spread out in front of Shen Lizhen, constantly tempting her to read it.
Shen Lizhen realized that her heartbeat was speeding up, but she still forced herself not to look away, deliberately smiling nonchalantly, "Why didn't you write it later?"
"I've thought about it and I can't get started, so forget it." The man shrugged, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, but soon lowered his eyes, "Maybe... I'm not destined to make a living in this field."
"I've kept all those martial arts novels. Take them if you want to read them."
He paused for a few seconds after he finished speaking, and his eyes briefly crossed with the woman in front of him again. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and there was a feeling that they understood each other and began to spread outward. At this moment, Shen Lizhen was caught off guard and received the eye signal from the other party - she was of course attracted to Qiao Yucheng, otherwise she would not have hesitated about whether to walk in. Rather than saying that she understood his hint at this moment, it would be better to say that she was willing to understand the emotions that only the two of them understood -
In this brief communication, Shen Lizhen was the first to be unable to hold back, and hesitantly lowered her eyes, "No, I'll trouble you next time, thank you."
She was a conservative woman by nature. Even though she often felt suffocated, she dared not do anything out of the ordinary and was willing to live her life in accordance with the rules. Perhaps the step she had just mustered up the courage to take was the most extraordinary behavior in her 25 years of life.
"Okay, you're welcome."
The door closed, and the man's phoenix eyes, which were flashing with a deep light, also fell into darkness.
"Cut!" Cui Siyu's energetic shout successfully brought Su Lingxi back to the real world. She raised her hand to lift her hair, walked briskly to Cui Siyu's side, and watched the replay on the monitor with Duan Yanche on the left and right.
"This one works very well. I personally think it presents a more natural picture than the previous one. What do you think?" Cui Siyu asked them while watching the replay.
"Really? What do you think of the glance I added at the end? Does it need to be cut out?" Duan Yanche asked with his arms folded and slightly bent over.
"No, although the emotions you conveyed through your eyes were a bit blunt, the timing was very good." Cui Siyu shook her head, "I think this film actually needs one or two blunt frames occasionally to stimulate the audience, otherwise it would be too bland."
As a director and screenwriter, her words certainly carry a lot of weight, and the atmosphere on the set suddenly became cheerful.
Su Lingxi watched her performance again and curled her lips in satisfaction, "Looks like we can have dinner on time today."
"Yeah, that's not easy." Duan Yanche stood up and laughed, "Want to go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"
"No, I want to go to the car to rest for a while, see you later." Su Lingxi replied indifferently, and his eyes lingered for 0.1 second longer when he passed by the petite makeup artist beside him.
Duan Yanche was not surprised to be rejected by her. He just nodded casually and walked towards the cafeteria with other staff members.
Although they played a couple in a forbidden love in the film, they both maintained a basic sense of propriety and distance towards each other outside the play - especially during the filming. In order to avoid destroying the sense of immersion in the play, Su Lingxi deliberately reduced the interactions between the two as actors, and tried not to interact in private if possible.
"Those two people are really brave." At some point, Jia Jia walked up to her and watched them walk away while whispering in her ear, "I heard that Teacher Duan's girlfriend is the makeup artist named Linda, but aren't they too bold? They didn't even try to hide..."
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder she sometimes felt a little weird when she saw their interactions.
Su Lingxi glanced at Jiajia and said, "You are well-informed. You know so much after only being here for two days?"
