A smile gradually appeared in Xia Xian Ning’s eyes. Luo Ying Bai coughed twice, pretending nothing had happened, and changed his tone: “Let me try. If that head comes after me, maybe the case will be solved directly. Besides, I find acting quite fun.”
Xia Xian Ning shook his head and could only say, “I’ll stand right beside you. Be careful.”
Chapter 27: Catching a Ghost
In fact, he felt a bit melancholic. Being with Luo Ying Bai always led to unexpected developments. The urban supernatural detective story had suddenly turned into a comedy about a young man breaking into the entertainment industry. Xia Xian Ning, forced to change the script, felt helpless.
He quietly watched from the crowd of onlookers until he saw Luo Ying Bai change into costume and makeup, and Xia Xian Ning couldn’t help but be stunned.
They both came from noble families with strict upbringing. Even though Luo Ying Bai was naturally casual, he had long cultivated an aristocratic demeanor.
His father was imprisoned for suspected treason, and all male family members over 14 were executed. Women and males under 14 were sold to the imperial music school. Only Ling An Jun miraculously escaped and, four years later, managed to enter the palace, changing his name and becoming the emperor’s male concubine.
On the surface, Ling An Jun was submissive to the emperor, but everything he did was for revenge. This characteristic should be immediately apparent from his makeup and attire.
When Luo Ying Bai came out, he wore a purple jade crown and a dark red long robe, with a gold-embroidered jade belt around his waist. His eyes were like lacquered points, his eyebrows laden with emotion, a thin smile at the corner of his lips both icy and provocative, with an extraordinarily beautiful appearance. However, beyond this beauty, he was tall and slender, with a straight back, walking with an elegant and heroic bearing. Though delicate, he was absolutely different from a woman’s temperament.
It seemed that seeing this person instantly made everyone understand why some people would prefer a beautiful man over a beautiful woman, and why this Lord Ling’an could be so favored. Director Xiao wanted to express precisely this point.
He looked at Luo Mingbai, standing nearby and rubbing his hands in excitement, repeatedly exclaiming, “Perfect! Absolutely perfect!”
