Xu Man was stunned, her heart beating a little irregularly. She didn't expect that in the morning she was still feeling sad that Qin Shen might have misunderstood her and that they might never talk about living together again, but in the evening she received his third invitation to live together.

Although it was said in a joking tone, an invitation was still an invitation, and it was the third time, the third time she had decided in her heart that she would agree to it the third time.

"...Okay." After a few seconds of stunned silence, she nodded dryly.

This time, the person who was stunned became Qin Shen.

"What?"

"...I mean," Xu Man lowered her head, brushed a strand of long hair by her cheek, and said in a softer voice, "I can...live with you."

The voice of the person in front of him was so soft that it was barely audible, but Qin Shen heard it clearly. When he realized what she answered, the blood in his body began to flow, rushing to his heart with great surprise and disbelief.

He turned his head and looked around, as if to confirm whether this was a dream, then he returned his gaze to her and smiled in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

Xu Man smiled and pursed her lips, wanting to reply "Fake", but then she thought it would be better not to joke at this time, so she nodded slightly and said "hmm".

The next second, a pair of arms tightly embraced her waist, lifting her up, and before she could recover from the feeling of weightlessness with her feet off the ground, she fell down again - Qin Shen held her and fell on the long sofa in the living room. He pressed on the sofa cushion, and she lay on top of him, pressing on his chest, looking into his eyes.

Xu Man's face quickly turned red. She and Qin Shen had been this close before, but this was the first time she was in this position. The touch of the body under her was sharp and the temperature was scorching. The weight of her whole body was pressed on him, making her shy and nervous, and her heart beating fast.

She propped herself up and tried to sit up, but her waist was tightened so that she couldn't move. She fell back into the arms of the man below her, and because of the loss of strength, the distance between them was even closer than before, and the blush on her face deepened.

"Qin Shen!" She glared at him with shame and anger, calling him by his full name for the first time.

Qin Shen looked at her with a smile, seemingly unmoved by the call: "Hmm?"

Her momentum immediately dropped: "You... let me go quickly, I'm not comfortable like this."

"Really?" He pretended to be confused. "I feel fine. What's wrong with you?"

This person!

It really shines brightly with a little sunshine. When it is serious, it is especially serious, and when it is not serious, it is especially not serious!

Xu Man bit her lip and glared at him, trying to put on an angry expression: "If you don't let me go, I won't live with you anymore."

Little did she know that her blushing face would only make people want to bully her even more. Without any threat of killing, Qin Shen just symbolically loosened his hand and let her climb up from him. Just when she was about to get off the sofa, he sat up again and hugged her. He had no intention of letting her go at all.

However, their posture now was not as blushing and heart-pounding as before. They changed from lying down to sitting, which was still within Xu Man's tolerance range, so she just let him do it reluctantly.

"Are you really going to move in with me?" Qin Shen hugged her from behind, rubbing her neck and whispering in her ear, "Are you kidding me?"

The slight itch caused by her breath on her neck made Xu Man blush a little, "When have I ever lied to you?" She lowered her head and answered in a low voice, with a little dissatisfaction and grievance, "Unlike you, teasing me every day."

Qin Shen didn't bother to argue with her at this time. He smiled and kissed her fair neck skin, then asked her, "When are you moving in? Tonight?"

Xu Man's heart trembled, not knowing whether it was because of his more intimate actions than usual, or because of the last two words "tonight" in his words.

"Let's do it on the weekend," she said, gradually calming down from her impulse. She regretted that she had agreed too quickly, but now that things had come to this, it would be difficult to change her mind. She could only extend the time a little to give herself more time to adapt and prepare. "I need to spend time packing my things and tell the landlord. I'm in a rush to move these past two days and I don't have time to do it... I'll wait until the weekend to rest."

"Okay, then this weekend." Qin Shen agreed immediately. It was a pleasant surprise for him that his lover agreed to live together. Not to mention moving a few days later, even a month later would be fine. "Then I'll come over in the next two days to help you pack your things?"

"No, I can do it myself." She shook her head. "The team has other cases, you should focus on them."

"No matter how urgent the case is, I can always spare some time. If you need any help, just let me know. There's nothing to worry about."

Xu Man was not a stranger. She had only lived in this rented house for more than a month. It was a fully renovated commercial house and there was nothing she needed to tidy up. She had a few days to spare, so she could still complete this task independently.

"Really, there's no need. I came here alone before. I'm just moving to a new place. I can pack up quickly." She said, not realizing that this statement contradicted the excuse she had just made to extend the moving time.

Qin Shen didn't know if he heard it or not, but he kept smiling, "Okay, if you have any difficulties, you can call me anytime." He hugged her tighter and said, "But to be honest, I didn't expect you to agree. After all, you refused the first two times. I didn't have much hope when I said that just now. I just thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect you to agree."

Xu Man herself did not expect that, thinking back on her three years in college, she had never had a boyfriend. It was a bit too big a step to live with someone so quickly for her first relationship. But inexplicably, when she heard Qin Shen talking to her and hugging her like this, she felt at ease and all the uncertainty disappeared.

"Isn't that what I said? You can do it once or twice, but not three times." She answered him with a faint smile, adjusted a comfortable position in his arms, relaxed her body and leaned against him, "I have rejected you twice, of course I can't reject you a third time."

Qin Shen laughed quietly: "I see. If I had known this was the case, I would have asked you a third time earlier."

"If you had asked earlier, I might not have agreed." Xu Man didn't want him to be too proud, so she deliberately said the opposite to him, "It depends on my mood. I agreed to it because I'm in a good mood today. If you asked earlier or later, I might not have agreed to it because I'm in a bad mood."

"Then it seems that I am very lucky today. I ran into you when you were in a good mood." Qin Shenl*q understood what she meant, and immediately took over the conversation, smiling and kissing her cheek, "When the weekend comes, you won't suddenly become in a bad mood and regret it, right?"

"Who knows, maybe it will happen, so don't hold your hopes too high."

The answer was a kiss from her cheek to her lips, sucking and licking again and again, coaxing her teeth open, reaching in, and pestering her to dance with him: "Don't hold out any hope? I don't understand, please explain it more clearly..."

…

In the evening, Tian Si suddenly sent two pictures to Xu Man, asking her if the person in the pictures was her team leader.

Xu Man was surprised when she saw the two pictures, but she quickly recognized that they were one of the few photos of Qin Shen that were circulating wildly on the Internet today. She breathed a sigh of relief and guessed the other party's intention.

Xu Man: [Yes, he is popular today]

Tian Si: [Oh shit! It's really him! 】

Tian Si: [I was wondering why he looked so familiar, turns out he is really your man! 】

Tian Si: [Your man is so handsome! ! ! 】

Xu Man: [……]

Xu Man: [No matter how handsome he is, he is my man]

Tian Si: [Wow, you've even learned to protect your food, that's quite some progress]

Tian Si: [Don't worry, I'll just covet your captain's beauty and lick the screen. The real person will be left for you. My life principle is not to touch my friends' men.]

Tian Si: [But if you guys ever break up, remember to leave me a message and I’ll come over to pick you up.]

Xu Man: [……]

Tian Si: [By the way, why is your captain so popular? Two more connected. When I saw the first hot post, I was too lazy to click on it. I thought it was a criminal police officer doing something heroic. When I saw the second hot post, I remembered that it seemed to be the position of the captain of your team, so I clicked on it to take a look.]

Tian Si: [It's amazing at first glance. I was almost blinded by your captain's handsome photo. I had a date tonight, but now that I've seen your captain's handsome face, everything seems boring to me. I don't even want to go on the date.]

Tian Si: [Tell me, how are you going to compensate me]

It was obviously a joke. In the past, Xu Man would have basically followed up on the conversation. But something happened today, so she didn't follow up on it. Instead, she edited the news of her living together with Qin Shen into a message and sent it to tell the other party.

As expected, she received a bunch of exclamation marks.

Tian Si: [! ! ! ! ! 】

Tian Si: [Did you type the wrong number? Are you two going to live together? ? ? ? ? 】

Xu Man: […Yeah, don’t you think it’s too early too? 】

Tian Si: [No, it’s not a question of early or late. Nowadays, when people fall in love, there is no such thing as early or late. If they are happy, they can live together on the first day. If they are not happy, they may not have kissed each other many times before breaking up. The problem is]

Tian Si: [Xiao Man, do you know what living together means? ? ? 】

Xu Man: […Live together? 】

Tian Si: [That’s right, live in one room, and then what? 】

Xu Man knew what she was going to say. Her heartbeat quickened slightly, but she was too embarrassed to type out the reply for a long while.

Tian Si answered for her: [We still want to sleep together! 】

Tian Si: [Xiao Manman, do you think living together means two people renting a house together, with two bedrooms and one living room, with you living in Room A and me living in Room B? 】

…She really thought so subconsciously.

Of course, she was not so naive as to think that moving in with Qin Shen meant simply living under the same roof. It was just that when she nodded and accepted the other party's invitation to live together, the first thing that came to her mind was the concept of two people living in the same house but sleeping in two separate rooms. That's why she agreed so smoothly. Otherwise, she would have been too shy to say anything.

Xu Man: [Of course I know that won’t be the case… That’s why I came to ask you if you think it’s a little too early]

Tian Si: [You've already promised me, why are you asking me this?]

Xu Man: [What should we do then? 】

Tian Si: [No big deal, just prepare a set of pajamas, wash yourself clean and fragrant, and then you don’t have to do anything else. It all depends on your captain’s skills.]
