At first, perhaps people just found Lü Ke very interesting.
But Zhang Tongzhou himself didn't know when his feelings changed.
All he knew was that his eyes always involuntarily fell on this capable and shrewd woman, who always wore a sad expression behind everyone else's back.
“I’m serious,” he said solemnly.
"Don't let Shushu worry about her." Shen Xuan called Zhang Tongzhou over, just for this one sentence.
Seeing Zhang Tongzhou nod and then fawn over Lü Ke, he finally sat back down next to Shen Wangshu.
"Have you found out?" Shen Wangshu asked casually as her fair, soft fingers turned a page.
Shen Xuan's gaze lingered on the fair fingertips for a moment, he silently swallowed, and then lowered his voice to hum in agreement.
"As long as he's sincere." Shen Wangshu closed the script, saw Song Yihe waving at her from afar, and knew it was her turn to act. She slowly stood up and walked towards Song Yihe with Shen Xuan, saying softly, "Lü Rong... can't stay by Keke's side forever. She just wants Keke to have her own happiness. She can have her own lover, her own life, and stop thinking about her and being sad for her. She can only think about her in a small way," she gestured with her finger, her voice hoarse, "that's enough."
Don't forget Lü Rong, and don't be sad for Lü Rong anymore. Don't ruin yourself for Lü Rong.
There was an inexplicable awkwardness in her words, but Shen Xuan pretended not to hear them.
“You are Shushu.” He held Shen Wangshu’s hand and said softly.
Shen Wangshu gently squeezed his hand back.
She tried hard to compose herself, and when she walked up to Song Yihe, she already exuded a certain domineering and arrogant aura. The female detective in this drama is frighteningly intelligent.
Her eyes held no secrets; they saw the darkness in everyone's heart. She saw through every clue at a crime scene, yet never left anyone any room for maneuver. She always left others speechless, effortlessly accomplishing what others struggled to do, ultimately separating herself from everyone else into two different worlds. No one could enter her world, yet others' worlds silently rejected her as well.
She seems to live a carefree life, but she is actually very lonely.
All her loneliness was changed one morning when a frail woman barged into her doorstep.
She witnessed a murder, and although she didn't see the perpetrator's face, she was relentlessly pursued by him. She fled a long way before finally escaping to the female detective.
To save her own life and prevent a series of murders from happening in her family, she accepted the police investigation and joined a special task force led by a female detective for protection.
Two completely different women begin a wonderful friendship.
One is a high-and-mighty female detective who is so intelligent that she has no friends, and the other is a wealthy heiress who is gentle, kind, and can get along with everyone.
With this woman's help, she began to change the way she spoke and acted, softening her attitude and demeanor instead of being hurtful, becoming more approachable. She lived with this woman to protect the witness, and no longer worried about what to order for takeout, because this woman was an expert in all kinds of cuisine.
She controlled her stomach, her schedule, her clothes, and her behavior, quickly intruding into her life, yet the female detective didn't dislike it. Together with her best friend, she diligently tracked down the murderer and identified a suspect.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
This woman was her only friend, and she didn't want to one day come home to find only her corpse.
As Shen Wangshu recalled his play and lines, he thought about how to cultivate his emotions later.
This wasn't her first time acting with Meng Fangfei, so she didn't hesitate. However, when she saw the award-winning actor sitting warily next to Shen Xuan, silently watching her with wide eyes, she finally understood the unease Meng Fangfei felt when Shen Xuan was watching her so intently. She glanced at Meng Fangfei, who was dressed in a snow-white dress and looked innocent and pure despite her age, and coughed.
"Hmm?" Meng Fangfei turned to look at her.
Shen Wangshu watched as she looked at the handsome movie star.
Meng Fangfei rolled her eyes and pretended not to see it.
Outside a residential building, the female detective, played by Shen Wangshu, walks briskly home along the street, carrying a bag of French bread, her face expressionless. It is early summer, somewhat hot, but there is a touch of coolness beneath the greenery. She is oblivious to everything around her, silently counting her steps in her mind.
It was three hundred steps from the bakery to her home, and she was already that lonely, yet she still maintained an arrogant expression that kept everyone at arm's length. When she counted to two hundred and ninety steps, that routine was broken.
The slender woman, like a butterfly, floated down from the sky.
She rushed out from the side in a panic and bumped into the female detective's arms.
"I'm sorry!" she cried out in a panic, then, as if remembering something, she quickly pushed her away and said, "Don't run with me."
The female detective followed the path she had come from, saw a blurry figure, and quickly ran away.
She pulled her arm back forcefully, watching the thin, slender woman gasp and fall into her arms. She turned her head, looking at her with panic and helplessness.
Their eyes met...
"Cut!" Song Yihe exclaimed with great satisfaction, then leaned over to replay the previous footage.
