Ning Qing nodded calmly.

Ning Yao performed first. She took off her knitted sweater and put on a white mink coat. She tied her curly hair into two braids and pulled them to the back of her head. She buried her palm-sized face under the collar and there was a tinge of melancholy like an ancient lady.

It was lightly snowing in the hall. Ning Yao held the bamboo pole and acted as though she were on a boat. She was acting Xis.h.i.+’s final destiny, where she was boating in Taihu Lake with Fanli.

She didn’t have to say a single line the entire time. Just like what Xiao Zhou said earlier, her innocent and sweet temperament suited Xis.h.i.+’s character. Her smile was like a spring breeze in the cold winter; best when she said nothing at all.

Someone shouted “Cut” and there was loud applause. Ning Qing saw that Xu Junxi smiled at Ning Yao while the few Americans nodded at Ning Yao.

Ning Yao got off the stage and came to the changing room. She was smug with success when she saw Ning Qing, “Sister, I’m done. Is your Zhao Feiyan ready?”

Ning Qing took off her green coat and grabbed a red ribbon casually. She lifted the crystal palm dish before Ning Yao and said, “I only prepared this.”

Ning Yao’s face grew grave.

Xu Junxi saw Xiao Zhou laid five crystal palm dishes in the middle of the hall and he knew instantly what Ning Qing was going to perform. The most legendary story about Zhao Feiyan was her dance. She was so light when she danced and when she danced on the crystal palm dishes, she looked like a fairy.

Ning Qing, she…

It wasn’t too strange when one thinks about it. Not only was the no.1 socialite, Ning Qing, beautiful, but she was also good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dancing. She had been smart. She knew what a girl should know and shouldn’t know.
