Emma ran out of the coffee house quickly, and then saw Lance standing on the street. The slender figure bathed in the sun and pulled out a long reflection. Emma's footsteps couldn't help but brake suddenly, standing there, breathing heavily, but her eyes looked at her broad shoulders and straight backbone, as if time had stopped under the perfect chin arc; her neat and unique shirt meticulously fastened every button, and even the cufflinks on her wrist were no exception, wrapping the whole person tightly, solemnly and forbidden, just like a layer of protective net, building a wall between herself and the world.

The parking guy took the key from Lance's hand and walked quickly towards the parking lot, leaving Lance standing alone, waiting quietly. Emma suddenly was not in a hurry, standing on the steps at the entrance of the coffee house, her eyes landing motionlessly on the back. She found that it seemed that she had never looked at the man so seriously except for the first time meeting between the two.

The sunlight fell softly and lightly on him, and used the most delicate and serious brushstrokes to outline the slender legs, narrow waist and strong shoulders. Each line was like the precisely calculated golden ratio in the master's pen, taking away the oxygen in the air and making the heart beat extremely clear. The man's right hand, which was as clear as bamboo joints, reached into his pants pocket and took out...a bag of rainbow candy, then slowly opened it, threw the colorful sugar beans into his mouth, and began to chew it slowly.

This made Emma a little stunned. The style seemed to be wrong. Shouldn't he take out a pack of cigarettes, ignite them in the sun, and then start to suck the clouds and spit out mists. The lingering smoke wrapped around his fingertips. The hazy mist under the sun made him look mysterious, with a hint of loneliness... and so on. But instead of cigarettes, he took out a pack of rainbow candy. Inexplicably, Emma felt a little funny, and the curve of the corner of her mouth began to tug. After a pause, her smile was completely released.

Rainbow Candy, this is the favorite of children. Not to mention Lance, she doesn't even see it very often now. It seems that Halloween years ago was the last meeting. But he held it in his hand, calm and calm, as if he was holding it not Rainbow Candy, but a good cigar. This is really ridiculous.

The memories in her mind began to roll, and her smile stopped at her mouth. Emma remembered that this was not the first time she saw rainbow candy appear in Lance's hands. When the two met for the first time, Lance bought two packs of rainbow candy when she entered the convenience store. Later, on Oscar Night, Lance also had rainbow candy in a bunch of things that Lance bought in the convenience store...

The devil likes rainbow candy? Emma couldn't help but sketch this picture in her head. Satan's strange and ruddy right hand held a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth where magma flowed. He sucked it squirt.

"Puchi." Emma couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

After thinking about it, Emma took a step forward and walked behind Lance lightly, suddenly amplified his voice and said, "Are you ready to leave so soon?"

The sound like thunder on the ground scared Lance. He subconsciously followed the sound and then saw Emma's playful face. After the prank, the pride was unveiled between his eyebrows without any concealment. This made Lance feel a little chest tight, but he still suppressed the helplessness and looked away again, "You should let Sebastian send you a ride."

Not only did Lance not answer Emma's question, but also hinted that Emma should leave. Unfamiliar and polite, she was still the professional mask. Emma even noticed that Lance naturally put away the Rainbow Candy, and left her left hand in her pants pocket, regaining her appearance when she was auditioning. However, this time Emma did not hesitate.

She still didn't know how she should face him, just as she still didn't understand how to face the gray area between justice and evil. The world was too complicated and she still needed time; she knew that he was not a good person, and it could even be said that he was still a long way from a good person, but she also knew that he was not a demon; but she also knew that she didn't want to turn around and leave like this, at least not now - maybe after seeing his true face, she would, but before that, she would stay where she was, whether to retreat or move forward, the answer would naturally emerge.

"I have some questions to ask for before leaving." Emma plucked up the courage and said directly, which made Lance turn his head and cast a puzzled look. "I mean, as a friend, not the relationship between the actor and the director." Emma paused, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Lance's eyes in an exploratory manner, "We are friends, are we?"

Friend, this word is so familiar but so strange. Lance was stunned for a moment. He thought that things were different after that night. It was like Jessica facing him today. But... maybe, this was just a childlike forgetting--the last moment was arguing over the doll, and the next moment, she went to school together in a silly manner. After all, she was just a child and did not really realize the weight of the deal.

Emma waited for a while but didn't get Lance's answer. However, this is also a good thing. Although Lance did not affirm it, it did not deny it. She smiled and then said, "I just attended an audition. The director is not very satisfied with me, but I really want to play this role. I wonder what you have to say?"

Emma looked at Lance in a flash, and then saw the curve of the corners of his mouth rise slightly invisibly. The brilliance that leaked in an instant made the heart stop beating suddenly. Emma bit her lower lip, but her smile still fainted like a ripples. "Conquer him with her strength." Lance's low voice slowly sounded, like a cello playing in the sun, and even the melody notes were dyed with a layer of gold.

"I think so too!" Emma jumped up excitedly, "But I think I need some help from you. The director gave me a difficult problem, hoping that I can interpret the role myself, and even incorporate my personal understanding of the role into the script. But the problem is that I am a newcomer. For God's sake, if I succeed in acting, this is the first official role in my life. How could I know how to do it? As far as I know, you are an excellent screenwriter and a good actor, so maybe you can give me some advice."

Good actor. Lance pursed his lips slightly, "It's not just good, but it's so outstanding that it's all the other people's ass/eyes."

"..." Emma was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and nodded with a hehe smile, "I believe you are." The man's confident and arrogant clouds made her mood fly gently, but the affirmative answer was just a man's choice. Emma's smile on her face became even brighter, and then said, "This is a very interesting character. She lives in a sin city, and the city fell to a darkness."

“It’s like Chicago.”

"Yes, it's like Chicago." Emma snapped her fingers, "Hey, I knew you could help." Emma raised her chin smugly, as if she was satisfied with her wise decision. "Then she was kidnapped, at my age." Emma pointed firmly at herself, which made the curve of the corner of Lance's mouth rise again, "Although she was rescued later, this experience changed her life. When she grew up, she became a bar dancer/woman."

"So, what are you thinking now?" Lance did not answer directly, but started with a question.

"Well... I think so. Maybe this girl is very rebellious. She is very naughty and likes to mess around. The reason why she is kidnapped is because she ran away from home and walked around in unsafe neighborhoods, which led to this tragedy. Maybe, we can't say that this is her fault, but her cheating behavior has indeed led to a series of subsequent reactions."

Emma's analysis is still too immature. The limitations brought by age and experience cannot be broken, even geniuses cannot be broken. Lance raised his eyebrows and said again, "We can look at it like this. This city is as chaotic as Chicago, with no good people, only bad people. So, does this mean that the girl's parents may also be bad people, such as high-ranking officials who embezzle and accept bribes, such as powerful gangsters, and for example, professional killers who are hired. So, under the education of such parents, what kind of personality will the girl have?"

Emma flashed with an inspiration, "Two possibilities are either like canary and ignorant of the world; or they are rebellious and evil like a little devil." The movie script needs to go to extremes, not to be moderate, let alone a brightly colored work like "City of Sin", so these two extremes may be the best choice.

Lance did not comment on Emma's speculation, but continued, "Then we must pay attention to whether the decline of a girl when she grew up is the inevitable result of being influenced by her childhood; or whether the darkness in her heart is gradually released by society."

"You mean, a girl has an evil personality, and it is normal to fall into the dust; or is she gradually being swallowed by this city of sin, just like the educational environment of her parents." Emma understood at a glance, and then her eyes became brighter and brighter, "I know, it must be the latter!" Emma's tone was very firm, "When she was a child, she wanted to breathe the free air, so she secretly ran out, but was kidnapped and suffered a tragic incident. During her growth, her innocence was bit by bit contaminated by society and eventually fell into darkness!"

Emma was indeed smart and told all about the main line of Lance's character Nancy. In fact, this is also the topic that Lance has been discussing since "City of God" - under the influence of the environment, sin is no longer sin, but a part of life, and even children become criminals, so how far is this society from depravity? Nancy's growth experience has completely penetrated this idea.

It can be said that in Lance's version of "City of Sin", Nancy is the key to lighting up the core idea.
