Chapter 21

ickering lights cast a hazy, dreamy glow. Standing together, they were indeed a perfect match.Maybe she had been standing still for too long, Song Qing霜 called out to her: “Take a look at the snuff bo...Ji Lin turned her eyes, silently, and said, “Can you be more perfunctory”

Fu Yan looked him straight in the eye, “Let me put it this way, I respect him for bringing honor to our country. Would you fall in love with someone you respect”

"You're not saying you can't fall in love with people you respect," Ji Lin said, speechless. "You're saying it's hard for you to fall in love with anyone except that person."

Fu Yan wore an expression as if she had been caught, and remained silent. She got out of the car and entered the private room after Ji Lin.

Everyone was here, except Fu Jing. There were also four of Ji Lin's teammates.

Fu Yan greeted them one by one. Among them, there was a boy who was only seventeen years old. He was sweet-mouthed and called Fu Yan "Sister."

Fu Yan's face turned red, and Ji Lin chuckled as he approached her. "I was going to introduce him to you."

"You're underage! Thank you anyway!" Fu Yan gnashed her teeth at him.

"Now you know, or is it still Fu Jing who's good" Ji Lin teased her, actually he wanted to introduce Fu Jing to her from the beginning. Last night was also a joke he played with her."

Fu Jing raised his hand to signal Fu Yan to sit down. Fu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

He secretly stepped on Ji Lin's foot.

Athletes don't drink, especially fencers. Alcohol stimulates the cardiovascular system, which can affect their hand-eye coordination.

They will be leaving in a little over a month to participate in the World Championship, and at this time alcohol is strictly controlled.

Even though no one was drinking, the atmosphere at the table was lively. Ji Lin had a good rapport with his teammates and they could joke around with each other. Fu Yan followed along and laughed as well.

My seventeen-year-old brother told a funny story about Qi Lin, and Fu Yan laughed so hard she fell on the table, her shoulders shaking with mirth. She didn't even notice that she bumped into a glass.

"Be careful."

Suddenly, someone pulled her, and she stumbled. Before she could see clearly, her body crashed into a wall of flesh. The tea in her cup spilled onto the cushion where she had just been sitting.

Fu Yan turned her head back, Fu Jing grasped her arm, his breath steady, his fingers strong, and she almost fell into his arms.

She hurriedly propped herself up with her hand, creating distance between them, a candid smile on her face. "Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome." Fu Jing held her arm politely for a moment before quickly withdrawing his hand.

Ji Lin rushed to pay for the rouge, raised an eyebrow, and teased, "Senior brother's reaction speed is still so fast. I didn't even have time to make a move beside Payan."

"My senior brother isn't undeserving of his reputation." Facing Ji Lin's teasing, Fu Jing calmly brushed it off with a joke.

After dinner, Ji Lin and his team were going back to the base for more training. Before leaving, he handed Fu Yan over to Fu Jing.

No matter how Fu Yan tried to flirt with him, Ji Lin remained unmoved. Everyone else got into Ji Lin's car and left, leaving only Fu Jing's car behind.

As for Fu Jing, Fu Yan doesn't know him well, but you could say she would trust her life to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin gave her to Fu Jing, explaining that he must be a trustworthy and upright person.

Without hesitation, Fu Yan got into his car and told him her home address.

The car slowly drove onto the road going downhill.

The red taillights flickered and gradually disappeared around the corner. The owner of a Ferrari 488 got out of his car and watched the departing Audi R8 with his eyes.

Then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The phone rang, and the man on the other end answered in his usual cold tone. "What is it"

"Azheng, where are you"

"The company has overtime, if anything happens, just say something." A sound of a lighter being struck came from that direction.

"What do you think I saw"

Silence fell on the other end of the line, clearly unimpressed by his attempt to tease them.

A man looked on with a gleeful, "I saw your ethereal cousin."one in this room. He hurriedly ran over to the sofa and picked up the phone to call the front desk, only to find that the phone line was cut!Gradually, lusty sounds began to echo throughout the room.A...
