1.
After a double blow of hitting a career bottleneck and discovering her boyfriend's infidelity, Pei Jingzhi decides to leave her city and visit a friend's hometown to clear her head.
But as soon as she arrives in Wangcheng, she's shoved forward and tumbles headfirst into a passerby's arms.
The lines of his muscles are more beautiful, more perfectly proportioned, and more suited to modeling for her than those of a fitness model, and…
“How much longer are you going to keep touching me?”
...!
The young man's cool, low voice cut off her boldness. Pei Jingzhi scrambled to her feet and apologized, but he walked away without looking back.
Dark skin, lean muscles, and a lovely voice.
Too bad she never got to see the face all the girls nearby were whispering about.
Pei Jingzhi watched him leave, then lowered her eyes. The corner of her vision caught a flash of orange-yellow, and her eyes suddenly widened.
…
Huh?
A work ID?
2.
The unscrupulous owner of the club saw revenue plummet during the off-season and came up with the brilliant idea of posting training videos to attract customers.
It wasn't until half a month ago that the plan finally paid off.
But poor Lu Ye was the only one who suffered.
He'd had fewer girls interested in him in the first eighteen years of his life combined than in the past two weeks.
Some threw themselves into his arms, some pretended to be drowning, and some really did have to be rescued from drowning, then refused to leave.
One even pretended to trip and fall right into his arms on the side of the road.
Lu Ye thought she'd be like all the other girls, just caught up in a momentary whim. But after he finished showering and came out, the shameless woman who'd felt up his chest was sitting in the club's dining room, staring straight at him.
If he couldn't handle her, he could at least run. Lu Ye turned and bolted.
But the next day, as he passed the reception room, he peeked through the crack in the door and saw the same woman from yesterday sitting on the sofa.
Her long hair flowed down her back, and beneath the bright lights, even the veins beneath her skin were clearly visible.
Her smiling eyes were soft enough to melt you.
He awkwardly looked away and turned to leave, only to hear her clear, cool voice say, “I want Ji Tong.”
Ji Tong?
Lu Ye glanced at the big, goofy guy beside him, who was grinning with narrowed eyes, and fell silent.
Girls from big cities were crafty. He'd better be careful not to get tricked.
3.
Everyone at QS Club knows Pei Jingzhi is someone Lu Ye goes out of his way to avoid.
But
That was until one day.
A friend was eating barbecue with Lu Ye at a late-night food stall when he suddenly heard a voice beside him that gave him goosebumps.
Lu Ye kept a straight face as he invited Pei Jingzhi back to learn how to swim, only to be turned down. His friend laughed at him, saying that even if he threw himself at her, she still wouldn't want him.
But the next second, Lu Ye pressed the voice-message button again.
“Please.”
His friend: “Didn't you say you were afraid she'd trick you?”
Lu Ye: “I'll accept it, even if she does.”
