When Tong Shenbing looked at Li Qing again, the other party had already closed his eyes, looking very much like he was enjoying himself, with his hands naturally resting on her slender waist.

The next moment, her teeth lightly moved.

Li Qing instinctively took two steps back, his right hand lightly touching his throbbing lower lip. He lowered his head to see no blood on his fingertips, so it seemed she had shown mercy, but his tone was somewhat displeased: “Are you a dog?”

“Little brat, do you know this was my first-kiss?”

Tong Shenbing’s pretty face was slightly red as she glared hatefully at Li Qing.

“As if it wasn’t my first-kiss.”

Li Qing spread his hands, saying without blushing or a racing heart, “Who told you to go back on your word? That was just me taking back one of my gambling debts.”

At this point, his lips curled slightly, forming a beautiful arc, and he chuckled awkwardly, “I remember you saying something about pinky promises lasting a hundred years, never changing… So, when are you going to pay back the remaining bet?”

“I’ll pay you a big head ghost! You don’t have any evidence.”

Tong Shenbing rolled her eyes, enough to captivate one’s soul.

Li Qing, who had kept the evidence, slowly walked towards Tong Shenbing until the distance between them was less than ten centimeters. Tong Shenbing looked at Li Qing with a panicked expression, retreating a step defensively: “You… what are you doing?”

“What can I do?”

Seeing Tong Shenbing so flustered, Li Qing couldn’t help but become bolder. He first found the saved recording file on his phone, then took another step forward. Their eyes met, and he said with a half-smile, “Listen, whose words are these?”

Tong Shenbing listened to the familiar voice coming from the phone’s earpiece, her pretty face flushed. She turned her face away, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a passing foreigner giving a bouquet of flowers to his date. Her eyes subtly shifted, a plan forming in her mind. She lightly coughed and said calmly, “Actually, being your girlfriend isn’t impossible, but you…”

“Me what? Not another goal, right? You might not believe it, but for me…”

Li Qing subconsciously said.

“No!”

Tong Shenbing interrupted Li Qing’s long speech, her slender jade finger pointing at the foreigner holding flowers nearby: “If you can give me a bouquet of flowers within five seconds, I’ll agree, how about that?”

As she spoke, she blinked her cute and beautiful big eyes.

“Is that true?”

Li Qing smiled slightly, causing a strange sense of unease in Tong Shenbing’s heart, as if she were a willing prey. So she added, “You can’t borrow from the foreigner, and you can’t buy them on the spot. In short… you have to take them out from yourself. Today is Valentine’s Day, don’t tell me you didn’t prepare anything.”

“Ah?”

Li Qing’s face darkened, and he said gloomily.

Tong Shenbing’s face bloomed with a victorious smile. She laughed, “I didn’t say that. I’ve stated the conditions. If… you can really take them out, we’ll get together on the spot. How about it?”

“Really?”

Li Qing looked suspiciously at Tong Shenbing.

“Even pearls aren’t that real!”

Li Qing then stylishly ran his right hand through his hair, saying humorously, “It’s time to witness a miracle…”

He unzipped his jacket with his left hand, reached into his down jacket with his right hand, and when he pulled it out again, he was holding a bouquet of red roses with only a few petals left. He handed it to Tong Shenbing without blushing, laughing, “Charming Miss Shenbing, I wonder… how will you deny it this time?”

Tong Shenbing stared at the bouquet of red roses in Li Qing’s hand, with only a few petals left. Her lips twitched slightly, and she felt a strange sensation in her heart, as if everything she did was clearly arranged. Suddenly, four words popped into her mind—

Destiny!

If it wasn’t destiny, then why were all these coincidences happening?

She, who originally didn’t want to ‘eat tender grass’ (an older person dating a younger one), sighed and reached out to take the red roses, which had another petal fall off. Her watery big eyes gazed at Li Qing, and she said casually, “Although these flowers are a bit shabby, they do meet the conditions…”

Before she finished speaking, Li Qing took a step forward with lightning speed, gently wrapping his arms around Tong Shenbing’s waist, saying excitedly, “You… you agreed.”

“Uh…”

Tong Shenbing felt Li Qing’s excitement, her pretty face slightly flushed. From this moment on, she accepted the boyfriend who was three years younger than her. She responded by placing her hands on his waist, and her moon-eclipsing, flower-shaming face actively moved closer to Li Qing’s: “Yes, I agreed.”

When she said those words, the stone weighing on her heart finally lifted.

Although they were three years apart, destiny was the most important thing, after all…

…

Originally, Li Qing wanted to seize the opportunity to take her ‘first blood,’ but Tong Shenbing said they had just started their relationship and needed some time to slowly adapt. Li Qing wasn’t the type of man who liked to force things, so he decided to wait until the time was right.

Besides, his current body was still in its developmental stage. If he were to engage in ‘that’ too early, he might not grow any taller.

The next morning, after dropping Tong Shenbing off at Liverpool Lime Street Station, Li Qing quickly rushed to the Melwood Training Ground to prepare for the FA Cup Fifth Round match at Anfield Stadium that weekend.

Due to Leicester City selling Kante this season, their overall strength had somewhat declined. Coupled with a clear dip in the core players’ form compared to last season, they had a poor start to the season. As of the recently concluded twenty-fifth round, they were only one point above the relegation zone, and manager Claudio Ranieri was already facing the threat of being sacked.

Next weekend, they would also be playing away at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán for the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 match. The FA Cup Fifth Round match away at Anfield that weekend was very likely to be strategically abandoned.

After all, Leicester City was not a traditional giant. Their squad depth was insufficient, and with the league in a relegation struggle while also preparing for the Champions League knockout stage, the less important FA Cup became a dispensable option.

Liverpool also lacked squad depth, but they only had the league and FA Cup left this season, giving them more flexibility in their lineup compared to Leicester City.

As the match time approached, media from the East became excited.

Li Qing’s recent performance had been exceptionally outstanding. At just over sixteen years old, he was very likely to be included in Liverpool’s FA Cup Fifth Round match squad, meaning there was a high chance of him scoring a goal in this home game against Leicester City.

The Japanese media focused on Shinji Okazaki. Last season’s Leicester City miracle, besides Vardy and Mahrez’s excellent performances, striker Shinji Okazaki also made a contribution. Although Leicester City was not in good form this season, Okazaki’s form was still decent. The Japanese media believed that Okazaki would definitely have a brilliant performance in the FA Cup match, leading Leicester City to defeat Liverpool.

Thus, this FA Cup match was dubbed the ‘East Asian Derby’ by the media from the East.
