Chapter 11: Light clouds veil the moon, gentle breeze brings back snow
While Su Jingwei was talking to a group of people by the pool, I quietly asked Yilin: "What do you think? Is this little white horse prince handsome enough?"
Irene hadn't even spoken yet when another girl chimed in, "You're not as handsome as him!" Then another one joined in, teasing me. The two of them recited in unison, "You're so handsome! You're so handsome! With a head full of white cabbage..." These two darlings I knew were Irene's classmates. The first one was named Xu Bingzhen and the second one was Yun Feifei. They often came to Irene's house to play. We had even gone on an outing together, climbing mountains and blowing cowhide drums. Usually, they were quite casual with me, but this time, seeing my misfortune, they didn't show any sympathy or concern, instead taking pleasure in my misfortune. How unkind!
I'm crying and laughing at the same time, but I really am having a terrible day. Thinking about what happened in the past two days, sleeping to the point of brain concussion, waiting for people until becoming a drowned rat, being unlucky to this extent isn't easy either.
Soon, Su Jingwei arrived. He made a beckoning gesture and said: "Sorry to keep you all waiting. Please follow me. My sister wants to see Irene."
My goodness! What kind of person is this? Such a big shot? Has to be greeted with a bow? And this Su Jingwei, who looks so dignified and polite, how can he exude such a fake and pretentious air?
Although I think so in my heart, I have to go anyway. I grumbled to myself and reluctantly followed them inside.
Then I saw Su Jingwei's sister in front of me.
Dazzling light shines in all directions, nothing can be compared to it.
…………
I should say that although I don't have much experience, the number of women I've been in contact with throughout my life is countless, and it can be said that I've seen many people - this isn't bragging, after all, in the world we live in, the female population makes up 50% right? Really, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you.
“…As if she were a light cloud veiling the moon, floating and swaying as if blown by a gentle breeze. Her sleeves are slender and delicate, her skirt is long and short in harmony with her figure. Her shoulders are like cut jade, her waist is like a twisted lotus stem. She stretches her neck, showing off her white skin, her beauty is beyond compare, no ornament can match it. Her hair is piled high on her head, her eyebrows are joined together, her lips are red and lustrous, her teeth are white and shiny, her eyes are bright and clear. Her smile is gentle and lovely, her movements are elegant and leisurely. Her emotions are deep and complex, her language is charming and persuasive. Her beauty is rare in this world, her figure is worthy of a painting. She wears a dress embroidered with pearls and jade, its splendor shines like the sun. She wears a golden hairpin adorned with bright pearls to adorn her body. She walks on shoes with distant soles, her skirt trails behind her like a cloud...”
Cao Zhi, this spoiled rich kid and prince's party member, is a failure in his personal life, but his writing skills are truly exceptional. He has written about the beauty of women to an extent that no one, past or present, can surpass him. "Light clouds veil the moon, gentle breeze blows back the snow" - it's incredibly powerful! It's all thanks to his creativity. Previously, I was arguing with someone on a forum and they said I wasn't cultured, which I admit is true. My level isn't high and I'm not good at speaking, so I'll just let Cao Zhi help me express myself. Using his words to describe the lady in front of me, Su sister, is the most fitting thing to do.
Of course, I've never memorized this poem "Luo Shen Fu" because it's too difficult to remember. But now, it suddenly comes to my mind - even every word is clear in my brain. It's really strange. As the saying goes, a beauty is the source of art (has someone ever said that? What a classic!).
The beautiful Su sister is standing in the crowd, smiling at us with a group of people surrounding her like a moon surrounded by stars, naturally putting her in the center - this kind of extreme beauty will make anyone around her look like a foil - for example, there are still several women next to her now who look like prehistoric monsters that have not fully evolved. Four words: pitiful sight.
Yilin and the other two girls were originally chattering away, but now they're all standing there with their mouths agape, not even daring to breathe a word - I think it's probably because they've been intimidated by that stunningly beautiful and domineering girl. Actually, according to general standards, the three of them could be considered top beauties, but compared to the girl in front of them, they're just like little kids who haven't even grown up yet - of course, I'm referring to their demeanor, not their figures haha.
Su Jingwei should be very satisfied with this shocking effect He smiled and introduced "My sister Su---"
"Su Jingmei." The beautiful sister interrupted her brother's words. In fact, there was no need for Su Jing to say anything, one look and you could tell their relationship. The siblings' facial features looked too similar, and they were both very pale - this paleness on Su Jing made him look oily and feminine, but on his sister it was stunning, truly like alabaster skin that would shatter with a touch. I thought to myself, if I were selling cosmetics now, I wouldn't hesitate to write out a check and ask her to be the spokesperson.
Su Jingwei is probably twenty-seven or eight years old, and judging from his appearance, he looks younger than his sister, like a younger brother. However, Su Jingmei has a mature and elegant demeanor, and wearing a simple yet professional woolen suit, she exudes a calm and dignified air, which in this regard, is similar to her mother's.
"Hello." Irina and her three friends greeted each other sincerely.
Why mention you? Isn't that making the beautiful woman old? What a waste! I was thinking in my heart, and as soon as I opened my mouth, "Sister Su, hello!" Originally wanted to call her Su Mei Mei, but swallowed it back, after all, not very familiar hehe.
It seems that my greeting didn't quite hit the mark because as soon as I finished speaking, I saw the people around me staring at me with wide eyes, looking at me like a freak - it can't be that exaggerated, right? Was what I said really that outrageous?
Su Jing said with a cough: "My sister - you don't know her?" His words carried a hint of blame.
Kidding, how would I know your sister? If I've dealt with such a beauty and don't remember, wouldn't that be premature senile dementia? I took another close look at Su Jingmei and only then remembered that I seemed to have seen her by the pool earlier, and she was probably the first one to laugh out loud. But at that time, I was busy and didn't have the mood to appreciate beauties.
Su Jingmei is now looking at me with a seemingly very interested expression, a faint smile playing on her lips. Of course, even if I were to become infatuated, I wouldn't think that this beauty would have any interest in me; she's just amused by my earlier awkwardness. Thinking about it, I'm utterly humiliated and embarrassed in front of the beauty, it's one of the greatest pains in life.
"Is this... Miss I's cousin, right?" Finally, Suzumi spoke up. Her voice was smooth and pleasant to listen to. "That's right. Uh, this..." I stuttered, trying to explain things from the beginning, but suddenly felt someone tugging on my clothes. It was Eileen, who was secretly looking at me with a terrified expression in her eyes, as if she was afraid I would say something I shouldn't.
Even if she's a beauty, her killing power can't be this great, right? This doesn't even let people live, does it? You can't even dare to speak now?
At this time, a manager rushed over with a flattering smile and bowed to Su Jingmei: "The dishes in the private room are all ready, Mayor Su, please take a look..."
What he said after that I didn't quite hear because I was startled Su... Mayor? I felt my brain short-circuiting and turned to look at Irina, the three girls were all pale with fear.
Could she be the legendary beauty mayor of Nagakawa City?
