A beat past. A second beat. And then another. Yet Qin Ran never heard anything else but the deafening sound of silence.
She would have expected that the man beside her would have already jumped her bones at the first opportunity he would get but the reality of her situation has left her astounded to say the least.
'Am I not beautiful for him?' Qin Ran asked herself after the fifth breath had passed between them.
'Impossible!' Her answer came as quickly as the doubts that have surfaced in her mind.
She had seen her more or less 500 competition earlier and determined that she would not lose out far against the most beautiful women in that batch.
In the end, Qin Ran regained her confidence and was content to wait some more. And so 2 bodies laid beside each other with only the sound of their soft breathing in between.
