My blind date turned into a test: My rough-looking coach has his eye on me

The most devastating thing in Jiang Yan's life was losing her job, being scammed, accumulating 100,000 yuan in debt, and being forced to go on blind dates after slinking back to her small town. At the matchmaking agency, the man, dressed in black with a buzz cut and a cold, hard aura, immediately asked about her height. "155cm." Lu Tian raised an eyebrow, his tone flat: "My brother sent me to see just how short you really are." So she was being used as a "goods check"? Jiang Yan laughed angrily, revealing her debt history, and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, the man chased after her, not only handing her a scarf but also offering her a job: "Front desk at the boxing gym, meals included, rent 300 yuan." Later, she realized this wasn't a mutually beneficial arrangement at all; it was clearly a long-planned trap. On a rainy night, he lifted her across a puddle with one hand; on New Year's Eve, he brought her hot dumplings; when the creditor came to the door, he shielded her behind him, his voice low and deep: "Her debts, I'll pay them." Jiang Yan looked up at the man who was much taller than her, her ears turning red: "Lu Tianyi, what exactly are you after?" Lu Tianyi lowered his head, kissing the top of her head, and chuckled hoarsely: "I'm after you, this little shorty, who can only be mine."
