Jiang Se randomly pulled her hair up and scratched it with her hands. Her attitude of not caring about her hair made the staff who came to lead the way feel a little sorry for her originally smooth and moist hair.
Her hair was in good condition. When it was let down, she looked like the model in the shampoo commercials on TV. But after she ruffled her hair, she deliberately left a few strands in front of her forehead. The ruffled hair looked a bit messy. The staff turned their heads away, somewhat confused by her behavior.
Leading a few people to the door of the conference room, the woman who led the way knocked on the door, and Yang Boxi's voice shouted "Come in" from inside. The woman pushed open the door, and Liu Ye and Zhao Rang were sitting on the sofa talking. Yang Boxi moved a stool and sat aside. When Jiang Se came in, Liu Ye had his back to her, but Yang Boxi and Zhao Rang noticed her first.
The moment the two noticed Jiang Se, their faces changed.
"How did you..."
Zhao Rang couldn't help but exclaimed. He hadn't seen Jiang Se for nearly two months. The end of January was close to the Spring Festival, and he had his own things to do. Although he was thinking about the script of "The Devil", there was nothing he could do except make a few phone calls with Jiang Se.
It was not until after February that he originally wanted to ask Jiang Se out, but was rejected by Jiang Se several times. Through Xia Chaoqun, he knew that Jiang Se was busy with something and even took a leave of absence from school. But Zhao Rang never dreamed that Jiang Se would change so much in just two months!
Zhao Rang was so surprised when he saw Jiang Se. Yang Boxi beside him had a similar expression, both of them stared with their eyes wide open and mouths open, unable to speak for a long time.
The last time Yang Boxi saw Jiang Se was at the China International Film Festival. Jiang Se was radiant at the time, wearing a custom-made dress. She had an outstanding temperament and flawless beauty. How could he associate her then with her now
After she entered the meeting room, her shoulders slumped slightly and her neck pressed down habitually. She gave people a gloomy feeling. She was so thin that she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew, but her skeleton was supporting her and she had a hint of stubbornness.
After seeing the reactions of Zhao Rang and Yang Boxi, Liu Ye felt something was not right. He instinctively turned his head, and the moment he saw Jiang Se, he was also surprised.
Her hair was tied up in a messy style, as if it was done in a hurry, making it look a little disheveled. Most importantly, she was very thin. Her wrists were skinny and her knuckles were so thin that they seemed like they would break if pinched.
The baggy, old-fashioned black suit looked somewhat empty on her body because she was too thin. It did not fit her figure very well. A pair of chopstick-like legs were revealed under the hem of the skirt. The most important thing was her pale face. The look in her eyes when she looked at people made Liu Ye's scalp tingle.
He still remembered the astonishment he felt when he first saw this girl. In "Beijing Grand Event", she was as beautiful as a magnolia flower, but at this moment, Jiang Se looked weak and her face was pale without a trace of blood. Although her little face under her messy hair still had some beauty, it was all concealed by her heavy and indescribably tired posture.
At this moment, she seemed like a woman with a lot on her mind and carrying a lot of pressure. Where was her former charm
"Luo Shen?"
When Liu Ye turned her head, she pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. Her face and mouth corners were a little stiff. She was obviously smiling, but she gave people a numb and cold feeling. The blood vessels in her forehead even jumped. She squinted her eyes, her cheek muscles twitched twice, and her wide sleeves shook twice. Liu Ye clearly noticed that at the moment she spoke, her whole body tensed up. Her collarbone, which was deeply sunken at the collar of her black coat, became even deeper because of her deep breath.
Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, as if it was poisoned, with a hint of resentment, which made people shudder for no reason when they heard it.
The 'Luo Shen' that Jiang Se called out was the male protagonist in "The Devil", and he was also the devil who killed Zhang Yuqin's daughter Zhuzhu. After a lot of investigation, Zhang Yuqin was sure that something had happened to her daughter and finally tracked him down.
Liu Ye had read the script before and quickly realized that Jiang Se must have been immersed in the role as soon as he arrived.
He was originally talking to Zhao Rang with a smile, but when Jiang Se called him, he was stunned at first, then quickly frowned, and then the smile on his face gradually faded. His eyelids drooped, blocking most of the expression in his eyes. His gaze fell on Jiang Se's legs, and his expression suddenly became a little numb.
At the same time, he clenched his hand on his thigh into a fist, quietly put it into his trouser pocket, and pressed it against his thigh. This is an instinctive action when a person is nervous and on guard.
Jiang Se walked towards him step by step, with the sound of 'clicking' heels, her body was like a ghost. The man whose name she called had a numb and calm expression and did not speak.
The man who was handsome and confident a moment ago suddenly became like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties because of subtle changes in his body language and facial expressions. He responded to her questions silently with a wooden and indifferent expression.
"Luo Shen?"
Jiang Se asked again, he raised his head, his eyes fell on her, his pupils dilated slightly.
There was disgust and contempt on his face. After a while, Liu Ye's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and when he looked at people, it gave people the illusion of excitement with red eyes. He smiled slowly, and although his smile was not exaggerated, it made people feel as if they saw a living devil with hideous fangs.
"I am, who are you?"
When he spoke, his eyebrows were furrowed, and a deep wrinkle appeared on his upper eyelids. There was a fierce light in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were tense, like a cold and poisonous snake. Jiang Se laughed:
"Don't you recognize me?" She sighed, tears slowly coming out of her eyes, and she whispered softly:
"I've been looking for you for a long time."
Her voice was faint and trembling, as if the breath that had been stuck in her heart for a long time was finally released, but she couldn't relax. She had a kind of happiness as if a wish had been fulfilled, but also a kind of neurotic feeling. Yang Boxi, who was standing by, felt creepy and instinctively wondered if Jiang Se was sick.
In fact, when Jiang Se came in and called out the name "Luo Shen", Zhao Rang knew that Jiang Se must have been immersed in the role.
He didn't expect that Jiang Se and Liu Ye's meeting would directly lead into the plot. Her move was very risky. In front of Liu Ye, an actor who has won the Best Actor Award at the China Film Festival twice and whose acting skills have been recognized by audiences, directors, and film critics, Jiang Se might become a joke if she is not careful.
