149: 149 The colors of the world are like dust.
149: 149 The colors of the world are like dust.
Symbolizing wealth and class, the Spring and Autumn Plaza.
After finishing a day’s courses, Luo Li’er hurried back early, made dinner by herself, and then obediently began to wait.
Of course.
Her cooking skills were nothing to brag about, but in an era when won were generally moving away from the kitchen, it already counted as a comndable strength.
Sunset gave way to moonrise.
She waited from dusk until nightfall.
“Tick tock, tick tock…”
The Italian-imported wall clock, filled with a dieval European style, tirelessly ticked on.
The TV that nearly covered the entire wall was playing a historical costu drama, where at that mont on the screen, a woman dressed in a long palace dress, with skin white as cream and a neck as delicate as a snail, her black hair like a cloud, and eyebrows lightly painted, was rely a supporting character yet, with her breathtakingly beautiful appearance, beca the most dazzling figure in the drama, and to this date, was still praised as the most beautiful ancient costu appearance!
A single glance would diminish all other beauty to re dust.
Even the most critical of film critics spared no lavish praise.
“I do not know how stunningly beautiful the ancient four great beauties were, but Pei Yunxi allows to imagine, a peerless beauty, no less than this.”
Pei Yunxi.
Not formally trained, in the business for rely five years, and without any background or support, she relied solely on her own abilities to blaze a trail through the entertainnt industry, which was crowded with beautiful won.
Two years ago, with overwhelming dominance, she crushed a host of leading actresses to win the title of Golden Eagle Goddess, topped the popularity charts all year, and recently was even selected as one of the top hundred most beautiful won in the world, ranking twelfth, just a step away from the top ten!
Keep in mind, this was a list compiled by Westerners!
Even so, countless fans felt discontent on behalf of their goddess, feeling that her rank was too low.
Of course.
Regional prejudice is hard to avoid, but equally, countless Westerners expressed astonishnt at her beauty, calling her the Venus of the East.
And yet, this TV drama, which countless n had watched over and over, so scenes they wished they could pause, Luo Li’er actually fell asleep watching it, lying on the sofa until the sound of soone opening the door startled her awake.
“Why didn’t you go to your room to sleep?
Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?
You say you’re all grown up, but you can’t even take care of yourself.”
The woman who had been busy all day approached, no longer as annoyed as last night.
Looking at her sister, who was groggily rising from the sofa, her soft tone revealed an undeniable tenderness.
“Sis, you’re back.”
Luo Li’er rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock, realizing it was almost nine.
“Have you eaten?”
“I had sothing on the plane.”
The woman sat down beside her, taking a glance at the TV.
Although it was an old drama from several years ago, its popularity didn’t diminish, and many people would re-watch it, but from her angle, it inevitably felt a bit odd.
“Sis, the costus you wore are so beautiful.”
Luo Li’er said softly.
“Is it just the costus that are beautiful?”
The woman turned her head, her smile half teasing.
“Of course not, if it were not for you being as beautiful as a celestial being, even gorgeous clothes would be of no use.
The others in the drama also wore beautiful costus, but compared to you, they pale in comparison.”
The woman couldn’t help but smile.
“That’s fine to say at ho, but don’t say it outside; it’s easy to offend people.”
“I know, sis.”
Luo Li’er sweetly responded.
“Tell , what’s the matter that you were especially waiting for ?”
The woman picked up the remote control and switched the channel; after all, watching a drama she had participated in still felt rather strange.
“Sis, didn’t I call you at noon?”
Luo Li’er reminded.
She knew her cousin was very busy.
This morning before she woke up, her cousin had already left for Capital City, and in the evening she flew back.
Forgetting so things was only too normal.
“Are you talking about the bodyguard issue?”
The woman said, “I will have soone contact the security company, and they will send over the details.
You can choose for yourself.”
“Not that!”
Luo Li’er hastily said, “I don’t want to find a security company.”
The woman was slightly taken aback, that nationally famous face regaining a asure of seriousness.
“Do you want to call Auntie?”
Luo Li’er was helpless.
“Sis, I didn’t say I want to go back on my word, I just don’t want to hire a security company, that’s all.”
“I don’t quite understand.”
“Sis, didn’t you promise to let choose my own bodyguard?”
“I did let you choose.”
The woman was puzzled.
Luo Li’er pinched her hand and mustered her courage.
“Then I’ve already made my choice.”
The woman was taken aback, clearly perplexed.
“What do you an?”
“Sis, you’re so busy with your own things, there’s no need for you to worry about .
I’ve found a candidate for the bodyguard, and he has already agreed.
You just need to pay him a salary, that’s all.”
Luo Li’er said innocently.
After watching her for a good while, the woman narrowed her enchanting eyes but before she could speak, Luo Li’er hurriedly cut in, taking the initiative.
“Sis, you made a promise to , you are my sister, you can’t go back on your word!”
The woman’s tone faltered, realizing she had been outmaneuvered.
“Fine, you have indeed grown up; you even know how to play mind gas with your sister now,” the woman laughed.
“Sis, I’ve followed your request.
After all, bodyguards are more or less the sa, and he will definitely be cheaper than a security company—great value for money!”
Luo Li’er coquettishly clutched the woman’s fair wrist.
It was obvious that the woman’s breathing quickened slightly, her magnificent yet not excessively so, certainly not to be underestimated peaks undulating gently.
But indeed, it was she who had made the promise first, and even though she knew she’d been taken advantage of by her sister, it wasn’t good to make a scene.
“Then tell , who is this cost-effective person you’ve chosen?”
“Jiang Chen.”
“Who is Jiang Chen?”
The woman naturally had never heard the na before.
“He is, he is…”
Luo Li’er began to stutter.
However, under the scrutiny of the woman’s gaze, in the end, she could only pluck up her courage and say: “He is my senior.”
“Nonsense!”
The woman suddenly lost control and scolded, “I arranged a bodyguard for you to ensure your safety, and you find a student?”
“Sis, what’s wrong with a student?
Last night, when I encountered hoodlums, it was he who saved .
He’s a good person!”
Hearing this, the woman’s fury tapered off slightly.
“Sis, haven’t you always told that one must be honest and not lie or deceive others?”
Luo Li’er cleverly seized the moral high ground, because she knew that was her only way to resist her cousin.
The woman’s gaze flickered, her emotions gradually settling—at least on the surface.
As an actor, managing expressions was the most basic professional skill.
“How long have you known him?”
“Not long.”
“How co I’ve never heard you ntion him before?”
The woman pressed further.
“Sis, we’re just fellow alumni, why would I ntion him?”
Luo Li’er said subconsciously, speaking truthfully, but the woman wouldn’t see it that way.
Looking at her sister, who had blossod into a charming young woman, a sense of wariness uncontrollably sprouted in the woman’s heart.
The sister was almost twenty, already at that tender and romantic age.
“Sis, say sothing!”
Luo Li’er was nervous; after all, she was at a definite disadvantage.
If her cousin refused to acknowledge her word, she really had no recourse.
The woman was silent for a mont, then said evenly, “I need to et him first.”
