He looks exactly like the Asian male star in the movie "Madame Butterfly"—thick and delicate eyebrows, a refined yet straight nose, sharp features, thin lips, and a sexy double-petal-shaped chin; he's simply perfect.
But what attracted her even more was the man's melancholy and mysterious aura, like the morning mist.
Although his walking posture was very rigid, it also carried an ascetic Eastern aesthetic.
He was just a man from mainland China, dressed in a very rigid and unattractive style of clothing, which was probably quite cheap. Yet he was both rugged and gentle, with a touch of nobility. The more you looked at him, the more captivating he became.
