The man's hand remained on Su Lingxi's waist until a group of drunks stumbled over.

"Be careful!" Liang Zhiqian grabbed her hand in time, saving her from being knocked down by the group of people.

Su Lingxi stood still, biting her lip, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand. She was almost hugged by Liang Zhiqian, and a feeling of uneasiness and tension spread through her.

When it came to matters between men and women, she was just a novice, but she had learned a lot from her aunt, and with her good looks, she was sought after by men in this romantic place.

If you look closely, she is not even one-tenth as powerful as Mrs. Chen.

The young man at the side laughed and said, "Those drunkards, who do they think you are?"

He smiled elegantly, not realizing at all how hurtful his words were.

"Maybe there is no difference between me and them." Su Lingxi smiled faintly and looked at the couple closest to them on the street.

The woman looked younger than her age, but she was held in the arms of two tall and big men. She had beautiful eyes and eyebrows and was considered a little beauty. Unfortunately, the frostbite on her ears destroyed the harmonious beauty.

Liang Zhiqian pretended to cover her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, Cailing——"

The forced smile on Su Lingxi's face disappeared.

There was a strange and dreamy look in those clear and charming eyes.

"Okay, okay, of course there is a difference between me and them - they had no choice, but I did it voluntarily." She begged with a smile.

The dazzling fireworks gradually faded away, leaving only the dark sky.

Su Lingxi felt the man's avoidance and silence, but she didn't care about it. Instead, she smiled and took his arm: "Vincent, look, the car in front looks like it was sent by my aunt."

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were indifferent.

"Cut!" Tang Wanhua spoke out in time.

Su Lingxi was the first to come back to her senses. She chuckled, let go of Liang Zhiqian's hand, and took two steps back, keeping the distance between them within a safe range.

"You acted very well." Liang Zhiqian shook hands with her gentlemanly, "No wonder Director Tang praised you so highly."

"Thank you, you too." Su Lingxi said sincerely.

This was not just a polite remark - just now when they were acting together, she could hardly tell whether it was him or Levinson himself. He had already devoted himself wholeheartedly to the role and made the two merge into one.

Another experimental actor.

Su Lingxi smiled gently, but her heart was already burning with a raging desire to win.

"Tell me, what does it feel like to act opposite Alex?" Tang Wanhua cleared her throat and asked again.

Su Lingxi thought for a moment, "Relaxed, in sync, but very exciting."

The performance of an actor in each scene is actually closely related to the opponent actor. For example, Su Lingxi is able to be at her best when she is evenly matched with her opponent. Even though the scene is over, she is still in the excitement she just had, and her heart is trembling with excitement.

"It's my pleasure." Liang Zhiqian showed a happy smile on his face.

Even at this moment, the excitement caused by the acting just now still lingered in his blood, just like staying up all night to have a party, almost making him too excited.

As an actor himself, he could sense the maturity and improvement in Su Lingxi's acting skills. Compared to last year's movie, she had obviously made a lot of progress.

To be honest, Liang Zhiqian really wanted to work with her in this drama.

He unconsciously turned his gaze to He Ying - the latter still had a poker face and not much expression could be seen.

"You two have a good chemistry." He Ying stared at Su Lingxi's naturally upturned fox eyes and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask Miss Su a question."

"In your opinion, is Ge Cailing a smart person?"

Smart is a complex concept word that is usually used to mean developed intelligence and strong understanding.

But smart person is not a word with a standard definition.

Looking at the book "The Thorn of the Rose" as a whole, the plot in the book is undoubtedly a tragedy from a secular perspective: Ge Cailing, who was well-read in poetry and books, lost both her parents overnight and became an orphan. She had no choice but to leave her hometown and go to the port city to live with her aunt Mrs. Chen. Under the deliberate seduction of Mrs. Chen and her lover Li Wensen, Ge Cailing gradually abandoned her soul and original heart, using herself as bait, and grew into a well-known socialite in the world of fame and fortune. She used all kinds of men to maintain a life of extravagance and debauchery, and finally fell into the abyss of depravity from which there was no return.

But Su Lingxi didn't think that Ge Cailing was a love-sick and foolish person as most people thought.

She might have had a crush on Levinson, but after she offered to sell her body for the first time, that tiny bit of fondness had vanished.

She lingered around rich men for profit; she chose Li Wensen to be her nominal husband in order to give herself some breathing space - as time went on, Ge Cailing's attitude towards Li Wensen became worse. Rather than treating him as a loved one, she treated him more like a pet. When she was happy, she would spend money on him, and when she was unhappy, she would lose her temper at him.

To her, Li Wensen was no different from those male students to Mrs. Chen; except that Li Wensen was more handsome and more romantic, and his family background sounded good to others, which was enough to serve as a shield for her.

From the moment she first came to Gangcheng, Ge Cailing never thought of going back.

She longed for wealth, longed to stand out, longed to become a successful person, so in the end she chose this "shortcut" and chose to sink into soberness.

Just like a bunch of roses in Mrs. Chen’s garden, beautiful but with thorns, enough to prick others and make them bleed, but still unable to stop its own fate of withering.

"I think she was smart given the limitations of the times, but she used her intelligence in the wrong direction." Su Lingxi said calmly, "When she was in a low position, she knew how to stay dormant and patient. When she was tested, she knew how to read people's expressions and handle things tactfully. Even though she became a socialite in the end, she did not give up studying. In her free time, she still studied hard at home and even sold her jewelry to save money, planning a way out for herself early on."

"She is the best among her peers in terms of both emotional intelligence and IQ. Unfortunately, no one taught her that selling her beauty is not a shortcut, but a path to the abyss."

"The absence of her original family made her underestimate the inertia of desire and overestimate herself. The gift of fate had already secretly marked a price for her. If she doesn't treat her beauty with the right attitude, the gift will become a curse."

"Under the limitations of the times, women who want to change their fate must work thousands of times harder than men. There are countless women who have more difficult living conditions than Ge Cailing, such as the author of this book, Ms. He Yingzhen - but they did not live their lives in tragedy like her. From this point of view, Ge Cailing is smart but not smart enough."
