"Let me put it this way, I respect him for bringing glory to the country. Would you fall in love with someone you respect"

"......You're not saying you can't love someone out of respect, are you You're saying it's hard for you to feel love for anyone except that person," Ji Lin said speechless.

Fu Yan gave a look as if she had been struck, remaining silent. She got out of the car and entered the private room after Ji Lin.

Everyone was there, except for Fu Jing, and four of Ji Lin's teammates.

Fu Yan greeted them one by one. One of the boys was only seventeen years old and sweetly called Fu Yan "sister."

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

"You're underage, thank you!" Fu Yan gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"So you know now, or is it still Fu Jing" Ji Lin teased her. Actually, he had wanted to introduce Fu Jing to her from the beginning. Last night was just a joke with her.

Fu Jing gestured for Fu Yan to sit down, Fu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

He secretly stepped on Qi Lin's foot.

Athletes abstain from drinking, 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 Championships. At this time, alcohol is strictly controlled.

Even at a table where no one was drinking, the atmosphere was lively. Ji Lin had a great personality and got along well with his teammates, who teased him relentlessly. Fu Yan followed along, laughing at their jokes.

My seventeen-year-old brother told a funny story about Ji Lin, and Fu Yan's laughter was infectious. She leaned on the table, her shoulders shaking with amusement, so much so that she didn't even notice she bumped into her cup.

"Be careful."

Suddenly someone pulled her, she stumbled, before her eyes could focus, 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 grabbed her arm, his breath steady, his fingers firm, and she almost fell into his arms.

She quickly propped herself up with her hands, creating distance between them. A candid smile graced her face as she said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Fu Jing gently helped her up, then immediately withdrew his hand.

Ji Lin rushed to pay homage, raised an eyebrow and teased, "Brother's reaction speed is still so fast, I didn't even have time to make a move beside Fu Yan."

"My senior brother is not undeservedly famous." Facing Ji Lin's teasing, Fu Jing met his gaze without changing his expression and brushed it off with a joke.

After dinner, Ji Lin and his team were going back to the barracks for additional 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.

As for Fu Jing, Fu Yan didn't know him well, but she could say that she was willing to entrust her life to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin handed her over to Fu Jing, explaining that he must be trustworthy and upright.

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

The car slowly drove onto the downhill road.

A red taillight blinked and gradually disappeared around the corner. The owner of a Ferrari 488 got out of his car, his eyes following the departing Audi R8.

Then he took out his 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"

"Company overtime, speak up if you have something to say." Then came the sound of a lighter being struck.

"What do you think I saw"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, clearly not buying into his teasing game.

A man with an amused expression, "I saw your ethereal cousin."ise supercar in the parking spot.She immediately got out of the car and rushed to the door, but was stopped by the security guard.Then Fu Yan realized, this hot spring resort was members-only. It was...
