Chapter 107: Awe Striking Beauty
Mu Sheng was dressed in a black mermaid gown. She had fair flawless skin, her neck was long and beautiful, and her waist was absolutely fine.
The makeup artist had applied gold shimmery eyeshadow and eyeliner for Mu Sheng.
Even though Mu Sheng was wearing seductive makeup, Mu Sheng’s innate glacial aura suppressed its effect.
She looked utterly cool and sexy. It felt as though she had risen from the depths of darkness as an absolutely pure, mysterious, and mesmerizing fallen angel.
Director Yang only snapped out of his daze when Mu Sheng walked up in front of him. “Okay. Get ready to film!”
The moment the director saw Mu Sheng, he felt so inspired that he wanted to keep filming nonstop.
The filming commenced before long.
Inside a luxurious villa, an orchestra could be heard playing inside as the guests chatted.
In the backyard, someone jumped down from the wall dressed in an evening dress.
PAH!
The bicycle at the corner of the wall fell to the ground with a dull thud. The camera closed in on the corner. Zheng Lan could be seen standing under the moon dressed in a white shirt with a soft glow.
“Aren’t you the straight-A student from school?” Gu Li raised her brow slightly as she spoke in disdain teasingly with her lips curved upwards.
Zheng Lan’s breath got taken away when he saw Gu Li in her dress and stayed quiet. He veered his eyes shyly before he turned to say, “Happy birthday, Gu Li.”
Gu Li was slightly surprised. “How did you know it was my birthday?”
The moment Gu Li finished her sentence, she looked at him teasingly. “Do you have a crush on me?”
The young man blushed slightly. He looked at Gu Li solemnly with his bright unsullied eyes as the moon’s soft glow reflected off them. “Nope. I saw it when I consolidated the class’ details.”
“Makes sense.” Gu Li smiled. “You are the top student, so you have a photographic memory.”
Just as Gu Li turned to leave, she realized she had broken her high heels when she jumped from the wall.
Gu Li took off her high heels decisively and walked barefooted on the concrete ground. She shrank her feet when she stepped on some broken stones.
Even though the 18-year-old boy looked shy while talking to Gu Li, he still walked up to her holding his bicycle as she swayed slightly and asked, “Where are you going? Let me give you a ride.”
Gu Li stopped to glance at Zheng Lan. The young man looked straight into her eyes with his unsullied eyes. She finally smiled. “Okay. I want to go to the riverside.”
A damp summer night breeze came from the river as a tall boy dressed in a white shirt rode on the bicycle with a beautiful young woman dressed in a black evening dress sitting behind him. The night breeze left her dress fluttering as its rhinestones glittered faintly.
This was their first chance encounter.
It was also the beginning of Gu Li’s tragedy.
“Cut!” roared Director Yang. The film crew snapped out of their daze as they looked at Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng, dumbstruck by their brilliant performance.
It was early spring, so the film crew was dressed in thick padded jackets. It was impossible for them to film a summer scene by the riverside. There was no river, moon, or gentle night breeze in the background.
There was only a huge green screen in the background so that the film crew could create the scene digitally.
Yet Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng made them feel as though they were seeing their first encounter on a summer night. They could even hear the sound of insects and smell flowers in the air as they bore witness to their first chance encounter.
“Miss Mu, great acting.” Qiao Siyu looked at Mu Sheng sincerely. She was capable of pulling him into her world; only great artists were capable of this.
“Thank you,” replied Mu Sheng calmly.
Qiao Siyu looked at Mu Sheng’s cool eyes and wanted to say more, but Tang Tiantian came over and handed Mu Sheng her phone. “Your phone is ringing.’
Mu Sheng took the phone and saw it was Li Hanchen calling, so she clicked answer. “Hello? Uh huh. Okay.”
Mu Sheng hung up the phone three seconds later. She casually took a coat and draped it over her shoulders before walking out of the set.
After Li Hanchen was done talking to Mu Sheng, he parked by the roadside. Before long, Li Hanchen could sense someone walking towards the car and automatically raised his head to look.
The moment he saw her, he was caught by surprise.
