Chapter 118 Eye Interaction
Mia seemed reserved and shy. She was still uneasy after switching places with her classmates. She moved cautiously towards Lily's position, hiding her figure awkwardly and lowering her head. Hide yourself from sight.
Lily, who has a fierce personality, did not notice Mia's abnormal behavior. She leaned slightly towards Mia and said, "Are you sure you don't want to help me with my wish to save the owl today?"
< br>Mia was a little helpless, "I told you, I have to see my grandma after school."
Lily, "Oh. Okay."
The whispering stopped immediately. The two little girls noticed the music teacher's eyes and stood up quickly. Then the music teacher made a commanding gesture and shouted, "Michael."
Sitting at the piano Michael in front laid out the music, glanced at Mia quickly, then lowered his head, placed his hands on the black and white keys and started playing.
“Catch the shooting star, put it in your pocket, don’t let it pass.”
The students sang.
Michael raised his eyes again. Although Mia tried to hide her figure, he could still find her in the crowd at a glance.
Watch quietly, intently, deeply.
Michael noticed that Mia was reserved and a little absent-minded. Other students were singing, but Mia only moved her mouth and made no sound, quietly hiding herself.
Her eyes were a little dodgey.
Michael knew how beautiful her singing voice was. Although she never knew or believed that every time she stood in front of everyone, she would involuntarily dodge and retreat. Once it started, those eyes, mocking, and absent-mindedness would turn into attacks, further making her shrink into her own protective shell.
But Michael had seen her beauty.
He knew and believed that she could express her colors freely.
Michael's eyes showed some determination. Not only did he not evade and cover up as usual, but he also took the initiative to attract Mia's attention with his eyes -
It was different from usual times.
When he has an instrument, whether it's a keyboard or a guitar, it's like putting on armor, he's able to become confident and invincible.
Without shyness, restraint or concealment, Michael looked at Mia like this.
Calm, yet searing.
——Anne Hathaway noticed.
She was a little panicked.
Because there is no such content in this scene, Anne was actually confused as to why the script arranged this scene. It made no sense at all.
In the script, Lily and Mia were just asked to have a conversation, and then... nothing more, just a look at Michael.
So, this is a scene that emphasizes Michael’s crush on Mia? But there is no expansion or extension. It is a repetition of the previous scene at the school gate. Is it really necessary to film it again? "Hints" are given over and over again to emphasize that Michael is secretly in love with Mia, yet the sentiment does keep repeating itself.
She doesn’t understand.
Of course, Annie thought, they are all newcomers, their understanding of acting and scripts is limited, and they are still learning everything. Maybe they cannot understand the intentions of the director and screenwriter at all, so it is best to keep their mouths shut and get to work.
But now?
The eyes, Michael’s eyes are indeed in the script, but Anson’s eyes in front of him are slightly different. They are not just a gaze, but a kind of guidance and encouragement, firmly grasping Anne’s gaze.
Annie: Should she notice? Should she look at Michael's eyes? How should she respond? Should she see through Michael? What is Anson doing? Is Anson adding to the drama himself?
“Catch the shooting star and put it in your pocket for emergencies.”
Anne still lacks experience and reads the lyrics absent-mindedly and vaguely, and her eyes shift away. , glanced quickly to the side, trying to find the reaction of director Gary or other staff members.
However, no.
The filming was not interrupted, no glances were exchanged, the staff was calm, as if they were completely unaware of any problems with Anson's performance, and even Anne's wandering eyes did not cause any changes.
what to do?
Those dodging and those panics perfectly fit Mia’s state. Not because she discovered Michael's secret, but because of her fear of public places, and because Michael's burning eyes were so bold and direct that she overturned all her imagination and couldn't help but panic. ——Of course, Anne did not realize this and had no time to think about it.
She couldn't help it.
Although I have avoided my gaze, I can still feel the temperature of that gaze at this time. It is not strong or powerful, but like the warm sun in March, lazily falling on the slightly slender face. The cold skin quietly warms the body bit by bit.
So, she looked back again, involuntarily.
One glance.
Anne saw those eyes, azure and blue, like the deep ocean. The transparent sunlight created a thin halo in the depths of the pupils. Although she was a little shy, she couldn't bear to look away. Come.
Then, Annie could see the encouragement in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she hummed silently, just like a kindergarten teacher leading the children in a chorus.
This scene is really funny.
She is not a three-year-old.
The corners of the mouth slightly curved, and then they bloomed.
The eyes collide in the air.
Mia quickly controlled her mouth and glanced at the music teacher quickly, hoping that she didn't notice that she was deserting, and then even she didn't notice it, she started singing——
Maybe , to cover up his distraction.
Maybe, it's because of Michael's mouth shape.
But no matter what, she spoke, no longer lip syncing, but singing quietly.
“On a starless night, when the God of Love comes and taps your shoulder, just in case you want to hold her hand, you have a pocket full of starlight.”
< br>The lyrics and melody collided between the lips and teeth, and the mood could not help but jump slightly along with the notes. His eyes drifted to Michael again, but this time he did not dodge, but looked over calmly and generously, eyes widening mischievously.
Heh.
The smile on Michael's lips instantly bloomed.
Mia's eyes also brightened.
Then, Mia saw the relaxation and joy in Michael's smile, as if he had temporarily forgotten the others, and the music class evolved into a chorus between the two of them.
However, he still sang silently.
This made Mia couldn't help but want to laugh, the corners of her mouth completely raised, the tension, anxiety, and fear disappeared, and those melodies flowed out naturally.
It was only then, when Mia let her guard down and sang at a normal volume, that she really paid attention to the lyrics.
“On a starless night, when the God of Love comes and taps your shoulder, just in case you want to hold her hand, you have a pocket full of starlight.”
< br>The unremarkable lyrics dance between the lips and teeth, but it seems that you can feel every cell dancing along with it uncontrollably.
But——
Looking at Michael again, Mia felt a little unbelievable. That was Lily’s brother, that little kid who followed them every day, with a look in his eyes. A slight smile seemed to deny the thoughts in his mind, and then his eyes became calm.
Unknowingly, Mia raised her head and straightened her chest, looking at Michael without averting her gaze. Thinking of the thought that just passed by, Mia's smile became brighter.
Fourth update.
