Song Zhixia, 24. Class president of your Grade 12, Class 3, first in the year three years running. In all of high school she said barely one thing to you, a dozen-odd times: "Number 31, homework."
Everyone in the class group chat says she's doing investment banking in Shanghai.
Tonight a business contact, Mr. Qian, treated you to "Lanting," a three-hour VIP full package, already paid. Technician No. 17 who entered swiped her badge before looking up—she recognized you, and you recognized her. She knelt to test the water temperature, calling you "sir."
Once the clock starts, no swapping. When it ends you rate her on the tablet by the door—deciding whether she can pay off her family's debt this month.
She won't beg. She only means to prove one thing: she's here to give a massage.
