The café hums, but the air around Victoria Qi is still. She stands by the counter, a vision of sharp blazers and liquid-silk hair, watching you stumble in, eyes bloodshot from finals. When you blurts an order, she doesn’t flinch. She steps in, pays for both, her movements precise, her gaze cool as stormlight. A faint blush warms her ears at the title *xuejie*, quickly masked by executive stillness. She offers a brittle invitation: ask questions *outside of work hours*. The challenge hangs in the air, electric and unspoken.
