Youxuan knocked on Shangguan Qing's bedroom door.

"Sir, Cheng Ji seems to be here. I smell him nearby."

The smell is not very strong and appears from time to time.

The main reason is that it is autumn now, and the wind blows in gusts, so the smell quickly disappears without a trace.

Shangguan Qing had just finished washing up and went to bed in his pajamas.

She hesitated when she heard what he said.

He opened the door, walked to the living room balcony without saying a word, and looked downstairs.

She wondered: Would Cheng Ji move downstairs from her like the male lead in an idol drama?

It’s a pity that except for a few pots of flowers, the downstairs is empty and there is no one in sight.

"Are you sure it's Cheng Ji? Is he still here?"

After saying that, another gust of wind blew over, the cool autumn wind was icy and bone-chilling.

Youxuan stretched his neck and sniffed hard, then shook his head after two seconds, "It seems to be gone..."

Shangguan Qing took one last look downstairs and walked back to the living room.

Her eyes were lost. "Forget it. Since he doesn't show up, just pretend he never came."

Youxuan was about to say that he smelled it again, but when he heard her words, he had to swallow it back.

......

Twenty-first floor.

Shangguan Qing is downstairs.

After a busy day of work, the movers finally finished moving everything. Uncle Yan and several servants were sorting the items. Cardboard boxes were everywhere and the house was a mess.

Cheng Ji walked towards the balcony, but when he thought of Shangguan Qing upstairs, he retracted his steps.

Stay in the living room quietly.

"Uncle Yan, after you finish cleaning up, you all go back to Cheng's house. I'll stay here by myself."

Uncle Yan put down the tableware in his hand, looking worried, "Mr. Cheng, you are usually busy, and someone has to take care of three meals a day. How about leaving a servant?"

Once Cheng Ji gets busy, he forgets to eat or even sleep.

"No need." He said firmly, "Someone will do it for me later."

Uncle Yan was confused. Could there be other acquaintances here?

It was three hours later when I finished sorting out the things.

Uncle Yan prepared dinner for Cheng Ji and left the sea view room with a few servants.

Outside the window, it was dark and dark.

Cheng Ji sat on the sofa, his elbows resting on his thighs, typing on his cell phone in his bony hands.

On the social account with Shangguan Qing, I kept typing and deleting in the chat box, deleting and typing again.

After a while, he asked: [Do you want to have dinner together tomorrow? ]

After deleting it for a while, he added: [It seems like there is a new neighbor downstairs. ]

......

upstairs.

Shangguan Qing, lying on the bed, looked at the chat interface which showed "the other party is typing".

I have been typing but there is no news for a long time.

From the initial palpitations and anticipation to the final loss of patience.

Is it hot to hit 'send'?

Hesitating for a long time.

She poked her cheek with the tip of her tongue and quickly typed a few words and sent them over: [Go somewhere with me tomorrow.]

This time, Cheng Ji sent the message very quickly and replied in seconds: [OK.]

Shangguan Qing was so annoyed that he threw his phone onto the bedside table and closed his eyes to sleep.

......

The next day.

Before going out.

Shangguan Qing ordered Youxuan to find Mu Cheng and find a way to make him injured and bleed, whether it was a scratch or a break in the skin.

Mu Cheng must be bleed.

Youxuan takes action as soon as he receives the mission.

Yu Hai stood aside and asked timidly, "Sir Shangguan, what about me?"

"You..." She thought about it seriously, "Just guard the store. If you encounter any customers, just close the door and keep them out."

Dengqing Antique Shop’s main slogan is “No Business Requested”.

"Yes, sir." He nodded respectfully.

Shangguan Qing saw that he couldn't let go of himself and patted him on the shoulder.

"No one will bully you here, just be casual and don't be nervous."

Yu Hai's eyes flashed with emotion, and he gradually felt relieved in his heart, "Yes, I know."

Get out of the house.

The two took the elevator downstairs.

Strangely, when the elevator reached the 21st floor, no one came in.

Yu Hai stretched his neck to take a look outside, then stood back in his original position.

"No one, maybe a kid pressed it randomly."

Shangguan Qing said nothing and took the elevator directly to the first floor.

At this time, Cheng Ji, who was hiding in the safety passage on the 21st floor, breathed a sigh of relief.

I was looking at my phone while waiting for the elevator. If I hadn't looked up, I would have noticed that the elevator had been stopped on the 22nd floor for a long time before coming down.

He was about to have a chance encounter with Shangguan Qing.

It's scary early in the morning.

Before leaving, he sent a message to Li Yang: [I have a friend who lives in the same neighborhood as a girl he likes. Is there any way to pursue this girl? ]

Li Yang was speechless when he saw these words.

"A classic quote has appeared. I have a friend..." He sighed and shook his head, "Mr. Cheng is very good at business, but when it comes to love, he is as stupid as the food we eat during the Chinese New Year."

He replied: [Ask your friends to send flowers and gifts every day, and take girls shopping.]

Cheng Ji stood in front of the window, the dim light from the mobile phone screen reflected in his deep eyes, and a bit of hesitation and curiosity was revealed between his brows.

He slid the screen and read Li Yang's reply over and over again. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, then quickly lowered, as if he was silently calculating in his mind.

"Really... does it work?" he whispered to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of expectation in his voice.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, his eyes became firm.

Cheng Ji turned and walked towards the study, opened the drawer, took out an exquisite notebook, and began to plan seriously.

Sometimes he frowned as he thought, and sometimes he picked up his pen to take notes. The only sound in the room was the rustling of the pen tip across the paper, making it seem exceptionally quiet.

The ding-dong of Li Yang's text message broke the silence of the study.

Cheng Ji picked up his phone and saw another message from Li Yang: [Mr. Cheng, tell your friend that girls are visual animals, so they must dress up nicely.]

The words on the screen made him straighten his back unconsciously.

He walked over to the full length mirror and examined himself.

The person in the mirror is dressed in a suit, but lacks a sense of casualness.

He turned around, opened the closet and started picking out clothes.

In the end, he chose a simple yet stylish white shirt and paired it with a pair of well-cut dark jeans.

He stood in front of the mirror, tying his tie carefully, striving for perfection in every knot.

"It should be considered good, right? Handsome?" he said to himself.

Cheng Ji hardly cares about his appearance and feels that he looks just that way.

As we all know, eighty to ninety percent of handsome men who don't realize it are straight.

So, Cheng Ji went out wearing the clothes he had carefully selected.

......

The downtown area in the city center.

Shangguan Qing arrived first. She was wearing a black Hepburn-style long skirt and Mary Jane high heels and was standing on the side of the road waiting for Cheng Ji.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" He suddenly walked up from behind her.

Shangguan Qing looked back and saw that he was holding a packed breakfast in his hand.
