Chapter 436: Gloomy Man

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiaokui was very sensitive to human faces. She wouldn’t forget anyone whom she had met before.

Hence, she recognized the girl at first glance.

However, that was also the first time she suspected that her memory was wrong.

The timid little girl, who had quickly slipped away after buying a cheap long dress, was surrounded by a group of noble ladies. Her smile was appropriate, gentle, and gracious.

It was really difficult to associate such a person with the girl who bought street goods with her.

However, when Xiaokui saw that face, she was very sure that the dazzling woman in the crowd was the young lady from back then.

Later on, she also found out that the young lady was not the down-and-out child she thought she was, but the daughter of a wealthy family.

As for why she went to such a place back then and bought a cheap long dress with her, no one knew.

That was the second time they met. Later on, they met again at the young lady’s wedding.

Many people went to the wedding that day, but Xiaokui was still being rented.

She had no money or power, but she was very beautiful. Someone was willing to pay for her and bring her along to boost his ego.

However, no one was willing to give their heart to her.

Xiaokui’s character was complicated because she came from a tragic background and had gone through many twists and turns. Moreover, she was also very conflicted. Her eyes, which had charmed countless people, seemed to hide countless things.

She attracted attention not only because she was good-looking, but also because of her eyes.

The eyes that hid countless stories.

Jing Yao had read the script and knew that this role was complicated. There were only two scenes to audition today. One was when Xiaokui first came to the big city. There was also a scene at the end where she stood on the balcony and looked down.

The focus of these two scenes was on her eyes.

“Which scene do you want to try?” Chen Xin asked her directly.

Jing Yao did not answer immediately.

“Let’s try the first scene,” the person sitting beside Chen Xin suddenly said.

Jing Yao didn’t agree, but looked at the gloomy man.

Chen Xin also turned to look at the man beside him in surprise.

Jing Yao was still conflicted when Chen Xin said, “Then let’s try the first scene. Is there any problem?”

Since the director said so, Jing Yao naturally had to agree. She nodded. “Sure.”

In the metropolis, the traffic was heavy. A girl in a washed-out blue shirt had empty eyes. She stood at the entrance of the train station, looking very out of place.

At this moment, Xiaokui’s eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. She looked very timid, but if one took a closer look, they could see the desire hidden in the depths of her eyes.

There were no lines in this scene. The most important thing was the change in her gaze.

Sometimes, scenes with few or no lines were the most difficult to act because everything you wanted to express could only be expressed through your eyes.

Jing Yao thought about this scene for a long time and even went to the train station alone to find the right feeling.

She went there many times, but she could not find the right feeling.

She did not have Xiaokui’s timidity and secret anticipation that she was about to start a new life.

This was because she knew that although she was standing at the train station, it wouldn’t be long before she received a call from Liang Xun. Liang Xun would pick her up and bring her home.

The word “home” could crush all the emotions she had accumulated.

Later on, one day, she simply turned off her cell phone and bought the nearest train ticket. She boarded the train alone.

That train took her to a place she had never been to before. Standing there, she began to understand Xiaokui a little.

However, she still could not fully comprehend it.

She thought about it for a long time after Liang Xun brought her home that day.

She still did not understand what she was lacking.

Later, she happened to see a photo on Weibo.

She was not in this photo. There was only Zhang Li and the young Jing Yuan.

It was a photo that Jing Yuan had left on her Weibo before her incident. The loving mother looked at her daughter, who was smiling brightly.

It was a very warm scene, but no one knew that a timid little girl was standing outside the scene.

She carefully hid her anticipation and stood in the corner, looking at her mother and sister.

She really wanted to blend in, but she could not. Once she got too close, she would be scolded by her mother and be told to go further away.

It was as if Zhang Li was afraid that she would accidentally enter the picture.

At that moment, the little Jing Yao was like Xiaokui, who had just arrived in a big city in the movies..

Chapter 437: Hope

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was no expression on Jing Yao’s face. She looked around coldly.

But if you looked closely at her eyes, you could see the complicated emotions in them.

She was timid, helpless, at a loss, and had the deepest hidden anticipation.

Chen Xin saw the emotions in Jing Yao’s eyes change bit by bit. Every time her gaze landed on something, there would be a different look in her eyes.

He immediately sat up straight, and his expression became even more serious.

Li Hong, who was beside him, stared at Jing Yao. He was clearly looking at Jing Yao, but it made people feel that his eyes were not on Jing Yao, but on a certain empty place.

The event location was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

The three of them were clearly in the same space, but they seemed to be completely independent and had their own worlds.

After an unknown period of time, Jing Yao suddenly exclaimed softly. Then one of her shoulders leaned back, as if someone had bumped into it.

A slightly pained expression appeared on her face.

Chen Xin and Li Hong came back to their senses at the same time. The complicated emotions in their eyes instantly dissipated.

This scene could actually end here. Next, Xiaokui was bumped into by a man who was in a hurry. That man had a bad temper. He was the one who bumped into her, but his first reaction was to curse.

However, he did not finish cursing. When he looked up and saw Xiaokui’s face, his expression instantly changed again.

He was solicitous and felt a little guilty. Accountability turned into an apology.

However, that kind of apology was not sincere. Whether it was from his tone or his eyes, one could tell that he was blatantly trying to do something.

Beauties always received special treatment at this time, but they did not know if such preferential treatment was good or bad for them.

Since Chen Xin didn’t stop her, Jing Yao didn’t stop. She was preparing to finish the rest of the scenes.
