"What do you want?"
Lu Jingyi looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, but subconsciously tightened her collar, with a defensive look: "Don't even think about hitting on me!"
Chu Jinghong smiled, his eyes far-reaching and revealing a hint of deep meaning: "What I want is that if I win, you have to accompany me to see an Apache concert." His tone was firm, as if everything was under control.
Lu Jingyi was stunned. This condition was far beyond her expectations. She hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, it's settled! But if you dare to cheat, I will never let you go!"
Chu Jinghong looked at her determined eyes, feeling secretly proud. He confidently extended his hand and said, "It's a deal."
The two men clasped their hands in the air, sparks flying everywhere, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become heated. Meanwhile, Xia Yuqing smiled slightly, as if she had foreseen a good show about to begin.
Chu Jinghong quietly took a few steps closer and leaned over to whisper in Lu Jingyi's ear. His voice was as gentle as the night wind, but with an unignorable sense of mystery, as if he was telling a secret buried deep in his heart.
"Pervert!" Before she finished speaking, Lu Jingyi's pupils shrank slightly, her brows furrowed, and a hint of anger and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, then stared at Chu Jinghong fiercely, her mouth twitching, obviously completely enraged by his words.
Chu Jinghong spread his hands, a cynical smirk on his face. "Last time you bullied me, didn't you think I would take revenge one day? Do you dare to speak frankly? If not, I will just despise you in secret!"
There was a hint of provocation in his tone, like a hunter staring at his prey, and his words were like arrows piercing Lu Jingyi's self-esteem.
“Who’s afraid?”
Lu Jingyi has always been stubborn and stepped forward without showing any weakness. She was completely unaware of the trap set by Chu Jinghong. She only wanted to maintain her dignity and was unwilling to give in.
Chu Jinghong's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt secretly happy, as if everything was under his control.
When dealing with a woman like Lu Jingyi, a few provocative words can make her respond without any defense.
"What exactly is your bet?"
Xia Yuqing looked at Lu Jingyi with a worried look on her face, and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Jingyi, don't let him fool you! He's much smarter than you!"
Xia Yuqing knew in her heart that Chu Jinghong's wisdom and strategy far exceeded those of ordinary people. Even though she considered herself to be very talented, she always felt that she was not up to the standards of Chu Jinghong.
This gap is not a little bit.
Perhaps in some areas, Xia Yuqing is indeed more outstanding, such as her remarkable scientific research achievements.
But Chu Jinghong was different. He was an all-around player, a perfect all-around player with no weaknesses. In school, such a person was a teacher's favorite.
The more Xia Yuqing tried to dissuade her, the more stubborn Lu Jingyi became. She was determined to fight to the end.
"Yuqing, stop talking. This time I'm going to humiliate him and see how he can still be so arrogant!" Her eyes were firm, and there was an unyielding arc at the corner of her lips, revealing her determination not to admit defeat.
"Then I lost..." Xia Yuqing was still anxious and looked at Lu Jingyi with worry in her eyes.
"Whatever you want!" Chu Jinghong shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, as if he had already made sure of winning and was not worried about any results at all.
Lu Jingyi also moved closer to Chu Jinghong and whispered a few words in his ear. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, but it seemed to carry a subtle challenge, a secret communication between the two of them.
I absolutely love this feeling!"
Chu Jinghong's voice revealed undisguised affection, and it was obvious that Lu Jingyi's actions deeply shocked him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Lu Jingyi with a sly smile: "I thought you were a reserved and graceful person like a lotus, but I didn't expect that you have such a passionate side in your bones. It's really eye-opening."
"Isn't it you who infected me? You're a complete old weirdo yourself!" Lu Jingyi retorted sharply. This half-joking contest between the two seemed intense, but it was also filled with a lighthearted atmosphere.
Xia Yuqing, who was watching all this unfold quietly, felt a little at a loss, as if she was out of place in such an atmosphere.
After hesitating for a while, she walked away silently and sat down not far away, muttering to herself that maybe she shouldn't have gotten involved in their game at all.
On the sofa, she sighed softly, then broke the silence with a calm but slightly weak voice, "Hey... you guys should stop teasing each other all the time. The most important thing right now is to find a way to get the ticket, right? Without this crucial thing, everything else will be in vain, right?"
After saying that, she slowly peeled the skin of a plump orange in her hand, as if hoping to steer the conversation in another direction.
Hearing this, Lu Jingyi suddenly turned her head and looked at Xia Yuqing in the corner, "That's right, if we haven't even stepped into the door yet, what's the point of all the previous arguments? We must solve this problem as soon as possible!" There was a hint of anxiety and blame in her words.
Just then, a calm and confident voice sounded, "Don't worry, I've already booked tickets for us."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the phone in Xia Yuqing's hand suddenly vibrated.
"Hello?"
After just a few moments on the call, his originally frowned brow was replaced by a face full of surprise. "There really are three tickets for Apache's live performance, and they are about to be delivered to our company? This is simply unbelievable, it's a miracle!" His joy was beyond words.
