Chapter 64: Old Li Used to Live in the Imperial Capital

"Hmm?"

Nan Xing narrowed her pretty peach-blossom eyes, suspecting that the good brother her sixth brother was talking about was none other than Li Beitian.

Sure enough.

When Bo Qijin pulled out a photo of himself and Li Beitian together, a secret, amused smile flashed across the corner of Nan Xing's mouth.

"Little Seven, do you know who this is?" Bo Qijin pointed a finger at Li Beitian in the photo.

It was taken a year ago, right after the two of them had finished a game of golf.

Li Beitian was dressed in pristine white sportswear, holding a golf club as he stood on the verdant turf.

The weather that day had been wonderful, bright and breezy. Li Beitian's tall, straight figure stood under the sunlight with a radiant smile, looking fresh and clean.

This was the first time Nan Xing had ever seen Li Beitian in a sporty style.

Different from his usual tailored suits and leather shoes, Li Beitian shed his customary sharp edge, exuding a touch of youthful charm—handsome and captivating.

"How about it, Little Seven? My brother's looks are right up there with mine, aren't they?"

Catching a glint of shrewdness in Nan Xing's eyes, Bo Qijin curved his lips slightly. "Li Beitian, the overlord of Beixin, known to all as Fourth Master, dubbed the ultimate eligible bachelor of Beixin. The women lining up to pursue him could stretch from the east side of the city to the west, but alas, my brother is exceedingly disciplined and keeps strictly to himself..."

Nan Xing: "..."

He said Li Beitian kept strictly to himself?

That time at Metamorphosis, he had almost driven her out of her mind with intoxication!

"Little Seven, you must have heard of my good brother's illustrious name, right?" Bo Qijin pursued relentlessly, hard-selling Li Beitian.

Nan Xing picked up her glass and took a quiet sip of plain boiled water. "Mm, heard a little."

Bo Qijin slapped his thigh. "Hearing of him is right! My brother is a man standing at the very pinnacle of the pyramid."

"If not for our gender, I'd marry him myself and never look back."

Nan Xing nodded. "I can tell."

She also felt that her sixth brother's sexual orientation was quite normal.

It was just that sometimes his brain seemed a little less than normal.

Bo Qijin didn't seem to catch the subtext in Nan Xing's words as he shifted his chair forward. "But Little Seven, you're different from those women."

"Oh? How so?"

"Who made me your sixth brother? With me, you've got to have privileges."

Bo Qijin flashed a grin. "Interested in my brother? If you are, Sixth Brother can help pull some strings, and you won't even have to wait in line."

At that, Nan Xing cast a skeptical look his way. "Is Sixth Brother overestimating him, or underestimating me, hmm?"

"No, no," realizing Nan Xing had misunderstood, Bo Qijin spread his palms and said with a flattering smile, "My Little Seven is so gorgeous; no matter how exceptional a man is, you can just pick and choose at will."

Nan Xing curled her lips in a look that clearly said *I'd believe that if I were a fool*.

"By the way, how did Sixth Brother end up knowing Li Beitian?"

Setting aside whether she was interested in Li Beitian or not, Nan Xing was actually quite curious about how her sixth brother had crossed paths with him.

One lived in Beixin City while the other was based in the Imperial Capital, not to mention the differences in their professions—she found it hard to connect the two.

"You mean me and old Li?" Bo Qijin raised a hand to light a cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he said, "The two of us grew up wearing open-crotch pants together since we were kids."

"What, very surprised?"

Seeing Nan Xing's slight astonishment, Bo Qijin explained, "Old Li wasn't always in Beixin City since childhood; he used to live in the Imperial Capital."

Li Beitian lived in the Imperial Capital when he was very young?

Nan Xing remained silent, signaling for Bo Qijin to continue.

"My dad and old Li's father were lifelong friends despite their age gap, and our families have always been very close."

Bo Qijin fell silent for a moment, his voice dropping lower. "Later on, something happened in old Li's family. When he was just a few years old, he left the Imperial Capital and came to live in Beixin."
