Just as She Wished

Blurb: Fu Jing is taken to a bar by a good friend to find herself some romance. She walks in, and amid the shifting lights, She sees a stunning beauty sitting by the window, cool and detached, holding a glass of whiskey as if she can’t decide whether to drink it. Her features are breathtaking. The legendary club beauty, Gu Qingci. One glance is all it takes for Fu Jing to fall head over heels. She asks around for advice on how to pursue her. She hears the beauty likes someone sweet and charming, so she smiles warmly and looks after her at every turn, throwing herself at her. She hears the beauty likes gifts, so she swipes her little card until the gifts pile up in their booth. Later... it seems like she’s making pretty good progress? The beauty smiles as soon as she sees her. Fu Jing is taken to a dinner party, where her mother introduces her to a powerful investor she went to great lengths to get close to. “This is your Auntie Gu. She bought you toys when you were little. Do you remember?” Fu Jing looks like she’s been struck by lightning. She doesn’t greet her for ages. Her mother hastily tries to smooth things over: “Oh dear, this child has always been a little slow!” But the woman reaches out and pinches Fu Jing’s cheek. Her cool expression vanishes, and she smiles meaningfully. “It’s fine. I don’t think she’s slow. I think she’s pretty cute.” Fu Jing: “…” She ends this failed pursuit and waves a white flag, ready to retreat. This woman is far too calculating. She really is a cold moon Fu Jing could never reach, even if she climbed a ladder to the sky. But why is it that after Fu Jing keeps her distance, Gu Qingci moves into her house under the pretext of needing a temporary place to stay? When Fu Jing studies, she makes midnight snacks. When Fu Jing publishes a paper, she opens a bottle of red wine to celebrate. When Fu Jing takes a shower, she blushes and passes Gu Qingci her clothes through a gap in the door. But Gu Qingci hooks a finger around her wrist to stop her from leaving, her voice plaintive: “Kid, why did you stop saying you were pursuing me?” #How could I possibly pursue you?
