I met a drop-dead gorgeous guy! I was recently asked by one of my bosses to be the host for a show at a banquet. When I met my partner, who was a master student, I was a little disappointed for he was not as handsome as what I remembered to be, perhaps because he was in casual clothes. Actually I first met him almost a year ago, when he was the host for another show, in a suit, of course. But it all changed the next time I met him. We had decided to visit a make-up artist and costume lender in her office together. When I approached the spot where we were supposed to meet, I was impressed by his look from afar: he was in a white shirt, black pants and black sports shoes -- almost a formal suit for a job interview. But he didn't look unnatural in the outfit like many other guys usually did; instead, he looked clean, sharp and fresh -- as fashion bloggers say, black and white work magic. I said, "Wow, you are dressed up." "What do you mean?" "I mean you are specifically dressed this way to try on suits in a while." "Oh, no, I put this on when it gets cold." I screamed "wow" inside. When we walked along side, I was impressed by his vigorous and graceful strides. When we sat down to discuss with the make-up artist, I spotted from the corner of my eye that he sat up straight, away from the back of his chair, which was seldom seen in young people nowadays. A Chinese saying goes, "Sitting as stable as a giant bell, standing as upright as a pine tree, and walking as swift as the wind". Finally, I found a perfect embodiment of this saying. What's more, he had a pair of mesmerizing eyes, going slightly upward to the sides. This kind of eyes were considered luring in China. His eyes did seem to reveal tender affection, probably not out of his intention. Time count: 40 min
