On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

Shen Manzi was driving home. Just as she reached the door, a person suddenly jumped out from the stairs.

"Who?"

This is a floor with one apartment per floor, and it is impossible for anyone other than her to go to this floor. She immediately took a step back cautiously and shouted loudly.

"it's me."

Chu Jingyu was breathing slightly, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he was grinning happily.

"Why are you here?" Shen Manzi was surprised.

Chu Jingyu said aggrievedly: "I called you but you didn't answer, and you have an access card here. Although I can come in with others, I can't swipe the elevator card, so I can only run up to find you."

"I'm on the 26th floor," Shen Manzi said speechlessly.

No wonder he was breathing slightly and there was sweat on his forehead.

After running up the 26th floor in one breath, he would definitely be out of breath even if he was in good physical condition.

"If I want to see you, I would definitely run up to the 46th floor, not to mention the 26th floor." Chu Jingyu took the opportunity to confess.

"Fool."

Shen Manzi rolled her eyes.

She would not be moved, she just thought he was a fool.

He is obviously a policeman, he could have used his job convenience to ask the property management to help him swipe his card. Who did he think he was impressing by having the convenience of not having to run around himself?

It can only move himself.

"Can I go in and have some water? I haven't had any water for a long time and I'm dying of thirst." Chu Jingyu asked pitifully again.

Shen Manzi was even more speechless. He was indeed a fool. She sighed and shook her head, pressed her fingerprint to open the door and let him in.

Chu Jingyu curled his lips happily and walked in immediately.

"Change your shoes."

Shen Manzi threw him a pair of men's slippers.

Chu Jingyu put on his slippers, which were a little big. They were not new shoes, but worn ones.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Do you usually let other men come to your house?"

"Isn't my brother capable?" Shen Manzi turned around and asked him.

Chu Jingyu nodded happily and said immediately: "Of course, my brother is so old, his feet are not small."

"Not as big as yours, but I'm a gym worker, so of course my feet are big. Ice water or room temperature? Or hot water?"

"Room temperature, quench your thirst." Chu Jingyu said.

Shen Manzi took a mug and poured him a cup of warm water, but reminded him, "Hot water is more thirst-quenching."

"I know, but it's too hot to drink. After all, I just climbed to the 26th floor, how can I drink hot water?"

Chu Jingyu took two sips and explained to her, then drank the rest.

Judging from his appearance, he is really thirsty.

Shen Manzi said: "You are not so poor that you don't even have money to buy a bottle of mineral water!"

"That's definitely not possible," Chu Jingyu said, "I'm a policeman after all, and my salary is more than enough for me. How could I not be able to afford a bottle of mineral water? It's just that I was on a mission today and was too busy. I ran out of water in the car and didn't have time to buy more. I came to you as soon as I changed shifts, but I didn't have time to buy more, so I've been thirsty."

"Susu said that she saw you in Beijing, so why did you suddenly come to Jiangcheng on a mission? Could it be that the people you want to follow are Gu Mingchen and Su Jinchu?" Shen Manzi said suspiciously.

Chu Jingyu said quickly: "That can't be possible. If the people I was following were them, I wouldn't have come to find you."

"If it's not them, then who is it?"

"We have rules and cannot tell." Chu Jingyu clasped his hands together and looked at her pleadingly.

Shen Manzi rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. I don't want to hear it. Now that I've finished drinking the water, can we go? I want to rest."

"It's only a few hours now and you need to rest. Is your schedule so good? I've finally come here, let's chat." Chu Jingyu didn't want to leave. He had finally climbed up to see her, so he didn't want to leave so easily.

Shen Manzi sneered and said, "It's not that I have a good schedule, it's that I don't want to talk to you anymore, can't you see that?"

Chu Jingyu: “…”

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have stood you up on our date last time, and I shouldn't have left Jiangcheng without saying hello to you. But... I can't help it. Work has come, and I can't just not work!"

"Didn't I tell you not to work?" Shen Manzi sneered, "Do you think I'm the kind of unreasonable, sentimental girl? I just think we're not suitable, so I don't want to talk to you anymore. We're already adults, do we have to say some things clearly? Can't we just keep it to ourselves, drift apart, and be friends when we meet again?"

"No, I shouldn't say I don't want to talk to you anymore. I haven't even started dating you yet. I just realized it wasn't suitable during the ambiguous period, and now I don't want to be ambiguous anymore."

After Shen Manzi finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly corrected herself.

Chu Jingyu hurriedly said: "Why not? We have similar temperaments and many common hobbies. I have never seen a woman more suitable than you."

"But I don't think it's suitable," Shen Manzi said proudly, "I, Shen Manzi, have money and looks, and I can find any man I want. You're busy like a dog all day long, and it's not easy to see you. You'll even be stood up when I make an appointment. There are so many excellent men that I don't want, why do I have to choose you?"

"I knew you were angry about this. I... I don't know how to explain it. You're so smart, you know everything you should know. I just want to say that I really care about you. I've never cared about a woman as much as I care about you. I was so worried today when I found out you had a fight with someone. I was afraid you'd get hurt. Now that I see you're okay, I'm relieved."

Chu Jingyu hung his head in dismay, looking as pitiful as an eggplant hit by frost.

However, he did not forget to make amends for himself, explaining and confessing his feelings at the same time.

"Do you know that I was fighting with someone?" Shen Manzi frowned.

Chu Jingyu was startled and immediately shut up, as he accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

"It seems that the person you want to keep an eye on is Wan Ying, or Lin Chongyang."

Shen Manzi was indeed smart and guessed it immediately.

Chu Jingyu scratched his head in annoyance, wishing he could slap himself twice.

"Manman, can we stop guessing?"

"Okay, I won't guess anymore." Shen Manzi said with a smile.

When Chu Jingyu saw her suddenly smile, he felt a chill on his back and immediately said, "Since you are not happy that I am here, I will leave first and come to see you next time when I am free."

After saying that, he quickly changed his shoes and ran out.

Shen Manzi sneered. Why was he running so fast? Was he so worried that he would trick him?

However, her guess just now should be correct.

I just don’t know, is he following Wan Ying or Lin Chongyang?

"I was scared to death. Xie Buyan was right. You really can't look for a girl who is too smart." After Chu Jingyu ran downstairs, he patted his chest with lingering fear and talked to himself.

But soon, he frowned again and murmured, "But what can I do? I like her like this."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, went back to the car, thought for a while, picked up his phone and called a friend who was very good at dating.

"Urgent, how to coax a smart and beautiful girl?"

"Are you showing off?" the friend was speechless.

If you want to coax a girl, just coax her. But you specifically emphasize that she is smart and pretty. Isn't that showing off?

"Just think of it as showing off, but answer my question first."

"Eight words: shameless and flattering."
