Applause broke out among the crowd.
The magician suddenly stepped forward, walked up to Xia Xiaonuan, handed her a red rose, and said in less-than-fluent Chinese, "This beautiful miss, you are even more beautiful than this flower!"
Xia Xiaonuan was extremely surprised, not expecting him to speak Chinese. She quickly thanked him, took the rose, and looked up at Liang Shaochen.
Liang Shaochen was also smiling at her, with a spark of flame in his eyes. He reached out to stroke her hair, then took a tip from his coat and put it in the magician's hat.
The next performance was the classic "vanishing person" act.
Under the lights, the magician asked a Thai beauty to climb into a box.
He then closed the box and covered it with a piece of cloth.
He stretched out his hands, made some gestures over the box.
When he opened it again, the box was empty.
