Those eyes were exceptionally beautiful, with light brown pupils and red tinges on the whites of the eyes, not a terrifying scarlet, but more like the sunset glow at dusk.
Shen Hui stared at her so intently that Liang Shi quickly noticed.
Liang Shi looked up and unexpectedly met her gaze.
Those were eyes that looked very much like mine.
Suddenly, Liang Shi remembered what his cousin Zhao Xuning had said: "Of course you look familiar, just look in the mirror."
They do look quite similar.
However, she and Shen Hui look completely different.
Shen Hui is slender, with a more aloof and bony beauty.
Especially when those eyes sweep over people indifferently, they can send chills down your spine.
Liang Shih, on the other hand, possessed a more powerful beauty, and coupled with her love of smiling, her overall demeanor was very gentle.
They are two completely different styles.
Liang Shi had not yet emerged from the character's emotions and subconsciously wanted to greet Shen Hui, but could only manage a stiff smile.
After filming this segment, the group took a break.
The second group went to film the less important scenes.
Even sitting there, Liang Shi would unconsciously shed tears.
At times like these, she realizes the benefits of having a team. If it were before, Xiaobai would have handed her tissues long ago, but now she can only cry by herself, and she has to avoid crying on her clothes, for fear of getting her clothes wet and not being able to wear them later.
Her hands trembled violently due to the extreme emotional fluctuations.
A moment later, a piece of paper was handed to her.
Liang Shi looked up and saw Shen Hui lower her eyes and say in a faint voice, "Wipe it off."
Liang Shi tried to force back his tears by tilting his head back, but to little avail.
Her hand was still trembling as she took the paper from Shen Hui's hand.
After handing her the paper, Shen Hui withdrew her hand, still maintaining that indifferent and aloof demeanor, but she didn't leave.
Once Liang Shi had calmed down, and the staff around him were coming and going, Shen Hui suddenly said, "You acted well."
Liang Shi: "?"
She didn't realize for a moment whether Shen Hui was scolding her or praising her.
It was truly impossible to discern anything from Shen Hui's ridiculously calm tone. In the end, I realized that Shen Hui wasn't the type to cause trouble for no reason.
Since you've said that, then you're genuinely praising her.
Liang Shi nodded and said thank you.
The two stood there silently, waiting for someone.
Shen Hui et al. spoke of Lin, and Liang Shi et al. spoke of Xi.
Neither of them were talkative people, and Liang Shi still felt a little embarrassed after what happened last time.
In the end, they all said, almost simultaneously, "I'm sorry."
After they finished speaking, the two stared at each other in a daze.
Liang Shi laughed first. She wiped her still slightly sore nose and said gently, "I'm sorry about what happened at the police station last time. I didn't mean to interfere in your relationship."
“Hmm.” Shen Hui answered logically, then said, “I accept. Also, my last time wasn’t directed at you.”
Liang Shi: "..."
Shen Hui said generously, "I'm only targeting Zhao Xuning."
Liang Shi: "..."
He was surprisingly candid.
"Alright." Liang Shi chuckled awkwardly, "It was irresponsible of me to say such things without understanding the situation, and I haven't run into you since."
The implication is that an apology was not issued in time.
"It's nothing." Shen Hui paused, then looked at her and suddenly said quietly, "Xu Qingzhu has good upbringing."
Liang Shi: "?"
“Your wife apologized on your behalf,” Shen Hui said. “Although she didn’t speak for you, she explained it to me.”
Liang Shi: "..."
“I didn’t expect you to come and apologize again.” Shen Hui’s tone was very sincere: “It seems your wife has taught you a lesson.”
Liang Shi: "..."
For some inexplicable reason, her ears started to burn again.

After visiting Yan Xi on set, Yan Lin left, and Shen Hui left with him.
Yan Xi was in a bad mood after Yan Lin left.
The already poor shooting conditions worsened, resulting in more than ten takes.
The director was on the verge of losing his temper when Liang Shi hurriedly said, "Director, how about we film it this afternoon? Yan Xi didn't get enough rest last night and isn't in the right frame of mind."
The director was furious, but dared not vent his anger on Yan Xi, so he yelled, "What if you're not in the right state of mind this afternoon either? If you've done more than ten takes for such a simple scene, you might as well not act at all. What's the point of acting the rest of the scenes then?!"
The atmosphere on set was somber, but they still took a break.
In this situation, not resting is just dragging things out, which is a form of torture for everyone's mental state.
Liang Shi led the still somewhat bewildered Yan Xi aside, handed her a bottle of water, and said in a casual tone, "Yan Xi, aren't you very talented? You've memorized all your lines, teach me!"
Yan Xi, who had been looking down in a bad mood, looked up when she heard this, her eyes glistening with tears.
Liang Shi was stunned. "What? Don't cry."
She doesn't know how to comfort people.
Yan Xi let out a soft breath, "I'm not doing anything, it's just... Yang Shuyan is going on a blind date, and it's with my grandmother's cousin's granddaughter."
Liang Shi: "..."
She was completely bewildered by the complex relationships within this large family.
but……
"What does this have to do with you?" Liang Shi asked. "Will this affect your performance and prevent you from filming?"
“Yes! What else?” Yan Xi said, “I’ve lost the meaning of my life. Why did I come here to film? Wasn’t it all for Yang Shuyan? But in the end… she… she… she…”
Yan Xi was so angry that she trembled.
A few seconds later, Yan Xi continued, "Last night, paparazzi photographed her entering a hotel with Zhao Ying."
Liang Shi: "..."
"It's right here in our hotel." Yan Xi clenched her fists. "I've been cheated on."
Liang Shi sighed helplessly, unsure how to advise her.
So remain silent.
A few minutes later, Yanxi asked her, "Why didn't you comfort me?"
Liang Shi was unusually straightforward: "...No."
Yanxi is a crybaby and a spoiled brat.
Liang Shi had no experience dealing with this kind of person, and he just wanted her to adjust her emotions as soon as possible so that she could get into character for filming.
She wanted to finish quickly, after all... there were people waiting at home.
When the thought crossed Liang Shi's mind, he was startled by his own actions.
Home, waiting.
These two words could be linked together by her without any sense of incongruity.
Thinking of Xu Qingzhu this morning, she suddenly felt an urge to go home.
Although it hasn't been out for very long.
While Yanxi was still grieving, Liang Shi took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Qingzhu, asking her what she was doing.
Xu Qingzhu replied after a while: [At work.]
Liang Shi hesitated for half a second between not disturbing her work and chatting with her, then decisively replied: 【I ran into Shen Hui today.】
Xu Qingzhu: [Aren't you filming? Why is Shen Hui in this scene?]
Liang Shi: [...You might not believe it, but she's on a date with your junior's older sister.]
Xu Qingzhu: [That's great.]
Liang Shi: [???]
After Liang Shi sent out those three question marks, she immediately deleted them.
But Xu Qingzhu still saw it and asked her what was wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, Liang Shi said, "I feel inexplicably sorry for Zhao Xuning."
"Sister Liang." Xu Qingzhu also sent a voice message. When she called her by that title, the last syllable rose, and the pronunciation was still strange, with a pause in the middle of "sister." Her cold voice was mixed with the sound of turning pages of a book: "Put away your saintly heart, okay? What's so bad about Zhao Xuning?"
“For one party, the relationship is over, but the other party is still stuck in it.” Liang Shi replied gently, “Isn’t Zhao Xuning miserable? Shen Hui has moved on, but she’s still stuck in the same place.”
"She brought it on herself. Whose fault is it?" Xu Qingzhu sent another message quickly after posting this: "I just hope that all the beautiful ladies can bravely and gracefully welcome their second spring. As for Dr. Zhao... well, what can you do when she's mute?"
Liang Shi: "..."
That's something that can't be refuted.
Is it really true that there's no hope for Zhao Xuning and Shen Hui?
That's not it.
People who are deeply in love can always find an excuse to come back.
