As Beautiful As Beijing / As Beautiful As You

Vol. 2 Cold Star - Ch. 12 Sense of Direction

Why do you say that?

Ji Xing's face heated up in an instant, and her heartbeat also accelerated suddenly. She hesitated and said, "I? I don't know... I don't know why."

Han Ting's expression was casual, and he said, "I can't teach you bad things."

"..."

The heat on Ji Xing's face was like a deflated ball.

He looked at her and said slowly, "What else, what are you thinking?"

Ji Xing's cheeks became hot again, and she was teased by him as if the tide was rising and falling.

"I think so too." She asked stubbornly, "What do you think I'm thinking?"

Han Ting didn't answer. He glanced at the door of the room, his expression slightly solemn. The young girls who were not selected went out, and the foreman closed the door gently.

He looked at Ji Xing and said, "Play by yourself for a while. I'll do something."

Ji Xing nodded, "Oh."

Han Ting turned sideways and chatted with several guests and friends over there. Ji Xing listened to a few words. At first, they were talking about Tongke Company. It seemed that Tongke's product line this year overlapped greatly with Dongyang Medical, and the market share was fiercely contested. Later, they talked about specific people and things. Ji Xing couldn't keep up, so she didn't care.

She was soon attracted by the girl in the box who was kneeling beside the coffee table. The princess sitting on the sofa was naturally beautiful, but the girls who served tea and water were also naturally beautiful. Their slender wrists were like white jade. They managed the red wine bottles, wine dispensers, wine glasses, water glasses, fruit plates, and dinner plates on the table in an orderly manner... like playing music.

Not long after she sat down, the girl in the box consciously and diligently poured her red wine, put the sorted fruits on a delicate small plate, and brought it to her lightly.

Ji Xing was about to take it, but Han Ting, who was talking to someone, turned his head and said, "Just give her water. No need for wine. Thank you."

"Okay." The girl in the box smiled and removed the red wine and brought a glass of water.

Han Ting glanced at the huge fruit plate in the middle of the table and said, "Pick more strawberries for her. Thank you." Then he went back to talking to someone else.

He never looked at Ji Xing from beginning to end, but Ji Xing's heart was beating fast, and she didn't know why. When she looked up, she saw the little sister with an ambiguous smile, probably mistakenly thinking that they had some relationship.

The little sister picked a full plate of strawberries for her, put it in front of her, and put out a silver fruit fork.

She picked up one and put it in her mouth, it was very sweet.

He was talking to someone else, leaving her with a half-side back, blocking her in the innermost corner. She ate strawberries alone, as if isolated from the world.

The princesses sitting on the sofa also knew their limits, sitting quietly with them, not disturbing the men's conversation.

Halfway through, Ji Xing wanted to go to the bathroom, so she got up and slipped out.

She followed the sign to find the bathroom, but when she came back, she was unsure. The corridors were connected in all directions, like a maze, and the rooms had no numbers, all with names like "Guyuan" and "Qingxi".

She returned along the original path, pushed open the door and went in. There was a group of strangers inside. On the sofa closest to her, a man was hugging women on both sides, and the skirt of the lady sitting in his arms was lifted up.
