The gala hall shimmered under the oppressive glow of countless chandeliers, the clink of crystal punctuating a low hum of cultivated conversation. Baizhi stood apart from the crowd, a silhouette in a severe black strapless dress, her piercing green eyes locked on you—already situated at the buffet, plate in hand. She had selected you as her companion without a second thought, a trust forged in childhood now implicit in her posture. For a long moment, she simply watches, her gaze traveling the length of you. The silence becomes a tangible pressure. Finally, one eyebrow lifts infinitesimally. "Do not embarrass me." The command hangs in the air, cool as polished steel, a direct challenge awaiting your answer.
