C18 (1/2)
Xue Fan looked me up and down, then asked me: ”What is your name?”
I replied that my name was Su Mo, and Xue Fan said that in this kind of place it was better not to use my real name. She told me to think of a stage name.
I hadn't been prepared for this before, so when I hesitated, Xue Fan said to me, ”Just call me concubine. Now, court dramas are very popular, and many stinking men consider themselves to be emperors.”
Anyway, all of this is just a code name for me. As long as I can find the person who killed my sister, whatever it is doesn't matter.
Tian Zhiming said to me, ”Then you better listen to mom's arrangement. I'll go out and wait for you guys.”
Xue Fan brought me to the elevator in the room upstairs. He stood next to a waiter, and then he heard through the intercom: Number 7, Guest Selection.
Snowsail said to me, Let's go.
My heart was beating really hard. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous. I was afraid of being selected because I didn't want to receive those people, but I was also afraid of not being selected. I was afraid that if no one took a fancy to me, I wouldn't have the chance to go to a pure-color shop in the future.
By the time Xue Fan and I arrived at room 7, there were already several ladies waiting at the door. We had gathered five people in total before we were led into the room by a waiter.
After we entered, we stood side by side in a row, just like how ancient palaces used to select concubines, and were selected by the men.
There were three men in the room. The two elder sisters beside him were the first to be chosen. When the guests pointed them out, they happily sat down. Their bodies immediately stuck onto the guests like sticky candy, proactively rubbing the men's bodies.
The men beside them also enjoyed their touch. They poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and as they drank from it, their hands began to caress their bodies.
The other man who didn't choose, raised his hand and moved it between the three girls who were left over. Finally, his finger landed on my body, ”This little sister looks so young? Is he grown up? ”
I replied in a voice that I could not hear clearly: ”I have become an adult.”
I don't know if it was because my voice was soft that the customer wasn't satisfied with me, but he moved his finger towards an older sister beside me and said, ”It's better if you come over.”
The waiter waved at me and the other girl who'd been picked up, and we both had to come out.
At this moment, the voice from the walkie-talkie in the waiter's hands sounded again, ”Room 12's guest selection.”
Together with the waiter and my sister, I gathered another group of people and entered box twelve.
This time, the first person in the room pointed at me. ”Is it good to sing?”
Last time, I thought it was because my voice was soft and the customer didn't like it, so this time, I suppressed the nervousness in my heart, my voice was loud enough for the guest to hear, ”Not really.”
I clearly felt that my sister beside me was secretly laughing at me, while the waiter beside me coughed softly in a very soft voice.
This time I realized that there was something wrong with my honest, direct words, but it was too late. The man pointed to another lady.
This time, I was eliminated once again. There was also that lady who was with me just now. She was also not selected yet.
I was both eliminated from the competition, so she didn't mock me like the others did.
I don't think her facial features are very pretty, but her makeup is very thick. It's probably to cover up her facial features, and her clothes are very revealing as well. But among the ladies, her figure isn't very good.
When she was brushed off again, she was a bit unhappy, grumbling about her mom as she ran to the side to smoke.
After that, I also participated in three more selections. In fact, I was pointed out by the guests every time, but I just didn't know why I wasn't chosen.
I went back to the basement to look for the snow sail somewhat discouraged. When the snow sail saw that I had returned, its face didn't show any sign of unhappiness, nor did it show any sign of reproach.
I asked Xue Fan, 'Is it because I'm not pretty enough that the guests won't choose me?'.
