Lin Ji Yang opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, picking up his game console and lovingly caressing it, "At least it didn’t break. You’re awake?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Is this your place?" Zhao Anqi glanced around, noticing the standard boy’s room with a slightly hip-hop cool vibe. The room was filled with various anime figures, Transformers figures... and all kinds of game models.

"This is just where I’m staying for now. Are you thinking of visiting my home and meeting my parents?" Lin Ji Yang asked intentionally.

Zhao Anqi had slept for a while, and her body had mostly recovered. As she got up, recalling the scenes from before, she asked, "Lin Ji Yang, who exactly are you? How did you find my house and so easily dealt with President Zhang?"

"How did you even get involved with people like him?" He answered her question with another question.

"You must have investigated me, so how could you not know?" Zhao Anqi flashed a smile at him.

This woman, she’s just too smart, it’s not interesting!

Lin Ji Yang stood up and walked over, looking down at her, "Look at how capable your brother is, stepping in at the crucial moment to play the hero and save the beauty. How about being my girlfriend?"

"Saving a beauty, I agree!" Zhao Anqi tilted her head slightly, gesturing around, "I’ve never seen such a childish hero!"

"It’s not childish, it’s a tribute, it’s nostalgia!" He got really anxious when his precious treasures were belittled.

"Alright, you continue with your nostalgia, I’m heading back to the company!" She walked a couple of steps, turned her head and said, "Thank you, Lin Ji Yang, if it weren’t for you, I’d be done for."

She spoke softly, with immense gentleness. It wasn’t until she’d walked far away that Lin Ji Yang realized and chased after her, saying, "Let’s head back to the company together, I have a car!"

...

Whenever Zhao Anqi returned home, her mood was visibly bad. This time, however, she seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Zhao Anqi, why do you always return home midway? Where do you live?" Qiao Anlu stood by her bed and asked.

Zhao Anqi gave her a glance, "I heard you fought with Lin Ji Yang, got badly injured. Are you okay now?"

"I didn’t fight with him, I was the one who beat him! And I got injured because..." Qiao Anlu took a deep breath, unwilling to explain further!

"Whatever, I’m not interested in knowing too much about your affairs!" She lay on her bed, casually reaching out, only to find Little Qiaoqiao missing. "My Little Qiaoqiao, sob sob sob!"

Zhao Anqi shook her head, "The elimination competition is coming up soon, you’d better practice hard!"

"Bah, it’s just an elimination competition, there’s no way it can stump your sister!"

"I hope so!"

...

Before long, the day of the elimination competition arrived. Since it was the first competitive elimination for this group of interns, it drew quite a bit of attention.

"I heard President Lu won’t be coming, but Young Master Lu will!"

"Lu Beiyao? Didn’t they say he’s become a playboy after marriage? What’s he doing here?"

"If he ends up liking you, wouldn’t you become the center of attention?"

...

The conversations were lively, but they were just masking their inner tension.

The elimination competition kicked off with the dance performed by the partners.

Zhao Anqi stood in front of Lin Ji Yang, pursed her lips and said, "Lin Ji Yang, make sure to dance well later."

"Agree to be my girlfriend and I’ll dance well."

At this time, he was still negotiating, Zhao Anqi took a deep breath, "If you’ve really done your research on me, you should know how difficult it is for me to stand here. I can’t afford to be eliminated."

"That’s why you should be my girlfriend, right?"
