Yu Qiao raised her fox-like eyes slightly and glanced at Pei Jin a couple more times.
Pei Jin lowered his head, staring at the tips of the shoes. Feeling the woman's gaze, he clenched his fists even tighter.
"A while ago, a group of boxers came to B City. Their leader is a young man in his twenties named Cheng Su."
"This group is very aggressive. They almost kill the boxers. Many boxers in the gym have been left with lifelong disabilities, and some can only lie in bed for the rest of their lives."
"Recently, not only has the boxing gym suffered heavy losses, but the boxers' performance has also been sluggish and unstable."
"Cheng Su's next boxing match is in a week." Yu Lingze's face was mostly hidden in the darkness, only his strangely exquisite jawline could be seen, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, faintly revealing anger.
Pei Jin licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, then lazily lifted his eyelids: "You want me to go?"
"Hmm." Yu Lingze nodded, a faint smile appearing in his fox-like eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "I believe you will definitely win this match."
Recently, in the underground boxing ring, the boxers under Yu Lingze's command have suffered repeated defeats, and their morale has plummeted.
What's urgently needed now is for someone to step forward, crush the other side, and inspire the people.
In the boxing gym, Yu Ling's favorite was undoubtedly Pei Jin.
Pei Jing's long fingers curled up, and a muffled "hmm" escaped from his throat.
Her gaze settled quietly on Yu Lingze's shoulder: "I understand."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Yu Lingze raised an eyebrow and said with a slight twitch of his thin lips, "Let's go have a meal together."
"..." Pei Jin's thick black eyelashes trembled. He glanced at Yu Qiao's long, fair legs out of the corner of his eye, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. He remained silent.
She was just vaguely thinking to herself, "It seems like it's not even as thick as his arm?"
Yu Qiao frowned in distress, beginning to doubt whether He Ye's words were true or false.
My brother has always been upright and incorruptible, and those who can become his friends are no ordinary people.
How could he possibly be... a pervert who likes to forcefully kiss women who have boyfriends?!
Yu Qiao narrowed her fox-like eyes slightly, and her small hand gradually clenched into a fist.
She had a rough idea of what was going on; it was probably He Ye, that idiot, who was fooling her!
"Ah Qiao, what are you thinking about?"
Yu Lingze's cool voice entered her ears, interrupting Yu Qiao's thoughts.
“…Huh?” Yu Qiao suddenly came to her senses and realized that Yu Lingze and Pei Jin were both staring at her.
Pei Jin has outstanding features, with cold and deep eyes, and mysterious, dark pupils that exude an inexplicable chill.
Their eyes met, Yu Qiao blinked, a meaningful smile curving her delicate lips, and she shook Yu Lingze's arm coquettishly, saying, "I was wondering, are all of your friends this handsome?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin straightened his back, his dark pupils suddenly dilated, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly, veins bulging.
Yu Ling patted Yu Qiao's head, his eyes unconsciously revealing tenderness: "Instead of thinking about these things, why don't you think about what you want to eat?"
"Is it just the three of us?" Yu Qiao looked at Pei Jin, her fox-like eyes blinking mischievously, and tentatively asked, "Did Pei Jin bring his girlfriend?"
Just as Yu Lingze was about to deny it, he was interrupted by an anxious voice.
"No, I don't... I don't have a girlfriend." A hint of panic, so out of character for him, flashed in Pei Jin's dark, deep eyes. He spoke incoherently and began to stutter again.
He also deliberately emphasized the words "no girlfriend".
Yu Qiao gave a thoughtful "Oh," glanced at Yu Lingze who seemed completely oblivious to the danger, then looked at Pei Jin, meeting his indifferent and ruthless eyes, and a bold idea formed in her mind.
Such a charming man is wasting his potential if he doesn't date.
————
The three arrived at a private restaurant: Qiyaoxiang.
The dishes at Qiyaoxiang are elaborate and expensive, and the restaurant only serves eighteen tables of customers per day.
This was Yu Lingze's property, so as soon as they arrived, a waiter immediately led them to Yu Lingze's private room.
The interior is luxurious and spacious, with a wine cabinet and a performance stage. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire city of A.
Yu Qiao sat opposite Pei Jin, with Yu Lingze next to her.
"Brother, how come I've never heard of you having a boxer friend before?" Yu Qiao asked, resting her chin on her hands and blinking curiously.
Yu Lingze raised an eyebrow: "Pei Jin and I were high school classmates, but we didn't go to the same university, so we lost contact."
"We only got in touch again a year ago."
"So you two were close friends in high school?" Yu Qiao asked immediately.
"Hmm." Yu Lingze has a rather cold personality and doesn't have many friends. After graduating and taking over the Yu Group, he has been extremely busy.
Yu Qiao thought about it seriously. This should be the first time her brother has admitted to having a close friend.
"Brother, that..."
"Ah Qiao." Yu Ling pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingertips, keenly noticing that Yu Qiao seemed to care too much about Pei Jin.
The scrutinizing gaze shifted to Pei Jin's face.
Then it slowly moved to Yu Qiao's face.
Yu Ling shook his head inwardly. He must have been overthinking it. Although one was his good brother and the other was his sister, the two were worlds apart.
If I had to use a metaphor, it would be Beauty and the Beast.
Yu Qiao is petite, spoiled and willful, and has a charming and lively appearance; she is a veritable little fox spirit.
And Pei Jin?
He is strong and muscular, aloof and taciturn, with a violent beauty that leans towards that of a thug.
He wasn't bragging, but based on his meticulous care and deep understanding of his sister over the past twenty years, there was absolutely no way his sister could like such a barbaric and rough man.
Yu Lingze thought about it seriously. He figured his sister probably liked the kind of refined, elegant, fair-skinned, and slender boy.
"Hmm?" Yu Qiao lay back in the chair, wearing a red halter dress. Her posture accentuated the curves of her chest and her slender waist.
The hem revealed a section of her white, almost glowing ankles.
Pei Jin hung his head, his heart felt like it had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, he felt suffocated, and he couldn't breathe.
"Sit properly, what kind of behavior is this?" Yu Lingze's face darkened, and he took off his coat and threw it on Yu Qiao, covering her head.
Yu Qiao sullenly pulled her clothes over, sat up straight, and muttered under her breath, "Old-fashioned."
At this moment, several waiters knocked on the door and came in, placing the dishes on the table.
Yu Qiao picked up her chopsticks and then put them down again.
"What's wrong?" Yu Lingze asked immediately.
"I want to eat the dish in front of Pei Jin," Yu Qiao said, pointing to the braised crab meat lion's head meatballs in front of Pei Jin.
Pei Jin froze, startled by being called out by name. He abruptly looked up and met the little fox's eyes, his heart feeling as if it had been deep-fried.
Pei Jin's exposed earlobes turned red. He blinked frantically, his fingertips trembling, "I...I'll put it in front of you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and swapped the dishes in front of the two of them.
Yu Lingze: "Pei Jin, I seem to remember you didn't stutter before?"
“I’m not a stutterer.” Pei Jin gripped his chopsticks tightly. His thin lips were pale, but his skin was wheat-colored.
Yu Qiao smiled and stared straight at him.
Under the soft light, her eyes appeared even more bright and sparkling, like the finest gemstones, and her small, delicate face was so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter.
Pei Jin blushes so easily, yet he can still get along with her old-fashioned and conservative brother. So... he must still be a virgin?
...
Pei Jin hurriedly tried to explain that he wasn't a stutterer, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say and could only shake his head with a tense face.
He gripped his chopsticks tightly to pick up food and eat, when suddenly his body stiffened.
They even paused in their actions of picking up food.
He lifted his eyelids and looked at Yu Qiao sitting opposite him.
Then he saw Yu Qiao tilt her head slightly, her long, slender white fingers holding a wine glass, her red lips pursed slightly, and then she smiled at him, a pure and innocent smile that was very beautiful.
She smiled at Yu Lingze as if nothing had happened, her red lips opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.
Bang, bang, bang
Pei Jin's whole body was tense and stiff, and his heart was pounding wildly as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
Under the table, a small, white foot stretched out to the opposite side and brushed against his calf.
