Ling Yao, who wants to figure out some way to bump his family up so they're the head of the Xing clan instead of somewhere in the middle. Who comes down here almost every week, who buys a drink and doesn't touch it, who sits around and talks and talks and looks at everyone to see if they might be able to help him get a lead.
Who is eighteen, not twenty-three, and who needs to learn to get somebody better to do his dirty work when it comes to getting illegal shit. Who just had his first drink, who definitely hasn't fucked anyone . . .
[He takes his hand off the glasses, curling two fingers beneath his chin and tipping his head up. His eyes are darker, a smirk tugging at his lips.]
And who wouldn't say no if I took him to that alley.
