Li Yuntang’s words sent a jolt through Jiang Shu’s heart.
Then, she continued to speak, with no evident trace of emotion on her face.
In the art of controlling facial expressions, Li Yuntang was no amateur either.
Jiang Shu had not expected that, not long after he had cut off his Spirit Technique, Li Yuntang would say sothing beyond his expectations.
That’s right, considering Qiu Wanying’s inherent interest in Magic (Deception), why hadn’t she listed herself as a target of romantic pursuit back then?
During the ti in the film crew, they had barely exchanged words, which seed out of character for soone like Qiu Wanying.
On reflection, only one possibility remained.
While filming with the crew, Qiu Wanying might have been guessing that Jiang Shu was the so-called smiling face, but she had no evidence at the ti, nor could she even be sure that the smiling face existed.
Even so, this made her reluctant to approach Jiang Shu.
Or perhaps, Tang had already approached Qiu Wanying at that ti and said sothing to her.
However, considering the scene in the makeup room where he revealed the smiling face mask to Qiu Wanying, and her shocked reaction, it’s very likely she did not believe Tang’s assessnt.
The fact also proved that Tang’s intuition was terrifying; Jiang Shu suspected that on the very first night they t, Tang was already firmly convinced of his smiling face identity.
Jiang Shu’s facial expression did not change, for he knew this could very well be a probe from Li Yuntang.
This woman was certainly not easy to fool; he should have realized this sooner.
He reopened his Spirit Technique, attempting to glean so other information from Li Yuntang’s thoughts.
"Why would Sister Qiu instinctively distance herself from Jiang Shu?"
"Is it because of Jiang Shu’s police background, or is it for so other reason?"
"I did tell so minor stars not to get involved with Jiang Shu, but Sister Qiu... Sister Qiu wouldn’t care about that."
"Could it be that Sister Qiu knows so other secret?"
With his eyes slightly downcast, Jiang Shu noted from Li Yuntang’s ntal voice that she was rely puzzled and had no direct suspicion about his identity.
However, if Jiang Shu’s response was too illogical, it could still arouse her suspicions.
"Not interested in ..." Jiang Shu repeated Li Yuntang’s words, "Perhaps... it’s lack of rapport? Or maybe so other reason? I rember Ray was always following around at that ti, and since Ray is quite fond of Qiu Wanying, maybe it was because of him that Qiu Wanying subconsciously kept her distance from ?"
The ntion of Ray, the person who taught Jiang Shu acting skills, who used to be very familiar and close to Jiang Shu, filled his heart with complex emotions.
It was sad but not overwhelmingly so; one could only lant the unpredictability of life.
After Qiu Wanying died in his arms, Ray also disappeared. His existence seed to have been erased from Lonely City; nobody, including Jiang Shu, could get in touch with him.
"Ray..." Li Yuntang also rembered that person, a pitiful figure. She had only heard that he had disappeared later, and nobody knew where he went.
This reason seed acceptable.
After all, Sister Qiu hated trouble, and soone like Ray seed like a nuisance in her eyes.
"Knock, knock, knock—" At that mont, the door of the Magic House was suddenly knocked.
"Hm? Do you have guests?" Li Yuntang, hearing the knocking, looked at Jiang Shu with so confusion.
Jiang Shu thought for a mont and said, "It might be my Magic Apprentice, let check."
Having said that, he stood up and went to open the door.
However, the person outside was not Su Xiaoou, but Liu Tingruo.
Today, Liu Tingruo was dressed in a casual, loose multi-color tracksuit, wearing a leisurely cap, accompanied by a blue short skirt and black stockings that wouldn’t freeze her legs in winter; her outfit was complete.
But Jiang Shu seldom saw Liu Tingruo in such a cute outfit, so he expressed his surprise, "You’re dressed very neatly today."
"What? Can’t I wear this?" Liu Tingruo turned half-circle at the door, her youthfully lively short skirt fluttering, making her appear extrely vibrant and youthful.
In the past, Liu Tingruo spent most of her ti outside wearing trench coats or overcoats with a mature style, but now, Jiang Shu unexpectedly found she also suited this student-like attire.
It could only be said that with good looks, anything looked attractive—even if the loose clothes did not show off her figure much.
"Sure, you look cute in this. Do you still like this style?" Jiang Shu also smiled and replied before stepping aside, "Co in and have a seat first."
"Yeah, it’s pretty nice to try once in a while." Liu Tingruo, noticing Jiang Shu’s gaze lingering on her, nodded in satisfaction, seemingly pleased that Jiang Shu liked her attire.
Although her face maintained its usual composure,
She then stepped into the Magic House, but she imdiately stepped back out after just one step.
Li Yuntang, seated at the nearby long table, was not visible from the entrance of the Magic House. Li Yuntang, sitting with her back to the door, did not turn to look back but elegantly operated her Simulated Light Screen.
Liu Tingruo, on entering the door, instantly saw the woman sitting at the guest spot on the long table and adjusted her cap, her large eyes filled with puzzlent, then pointed inside the Magic House and quietly asked, "Who is that?"
