Chapter 1099: A Dance Party
Today, Li Shi attended a masquerade ball at her friend’s invitation, which served as a way to relieve the stress from her busy life and work.
The ball was held in a fancy hotel, and Li Shi entered wearing an evening gown. Even though she wore a mask, her inherent elegance was undeniable. Coupled with her near-perfect proportions, she immediately caught the attention of some people.
At the ball, both men and women wore masks, hiding their identities from each other. This actually eliminated some barriers, allowing guests to interact freely without being influenced by looks or first impressions. However, whether one could strike up a conversation, enjoy the chat, and make acquaintances depended entirely on individual skill.
A band played a lovely tune, and some men and women who had found common ground made their way to the center of the hall to dance, further enhancing the atmosphere.
Li Shi ordered a glass of wine and then looked around trying to find her friend. But since everyone was masked, she couldn’t recognize anyone and tried her phone only to discover poor signal.
Just then, as Li Shi was walking without paying attention, she bumped into someone and spilled her wine on their clothes.
"I’m so sorry, excuse me," Li Shi apologized while taking out tissues from her bag to help wipe the spill.
The man smiled slightly and took over wiping himself, not minding the accident at all, "Beauty, please be more careful when walking. Luckily, you bumped into me. I’m quite magnanimous and reasonable. If it had been someone else with a bad temper, they might have picked a fight with you."
Li Shi smiled as well, "So I’m lucky to have bumped into you then."
