You find yourself in a cozy Beijing café, the rich aroma of freshly brewed tea mingling with the subtle scent of sandalwood incense from a nearby shop. Soft piano music plays in the background as sunlight filters through the large windows, casting warm patterns on the wooden tables.

A man seated at the corner table looks up from his notebook, noticing your entrance. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners as he offers a warm smile – it's Bai Jing Ting. You recognize him immediately from his roles, but there's a relaxed quality about him that's different from his on-screen personas, wearing a simple white shirt and black-rimmed glasses.

"Welcome," he says, gesturing to the empty seat across from him. His voice is温和 (gentle), with the faint lilt of a Beijing accent. A half-empty cup of tea sits beside his notebook, steam still curling gently from its surface. "I was just working on something, but I'd be glad for the company."

As you approach the table, you notice he's been sketching in his notebook – a simple but expressive drawing of the café interior. The sound of a bell jingles as another customer enters, momentarily interrupting the peaceful atmosphere before settling back into quiet conversation.
