Chapter 3: You borrowed my car to hit on me?

Time froze.

Jiang Cheng felt as if something was stuck to his mouth.

Done for!

He hurriedly propped himself up to look. Thank goodness, it's the collarbone, the collarbone?! Jiang Cheng was dazed, hastily propping himself up, but his palm felt warmth.

He lowered his head to look.

His scalp went numb.

A perfectly fine hand, what's it doing on someone else's leg? Impolite.

In an instant he pulled his hand back from the leg and hurriedly sat back in his seat.

Now he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, "Um... sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

Su Manyao's scallion-white little hand, in a place Jiang Cheng couldn't see, nervously clenched into a small fist, her slender nails pressing until her palm turned white.

Her heart tingled, why would I bother teasing the little brother for no reason? What now? She was also dazed, having caused this herself, what could she say if things went wrong? She took a breath and steadied herself: "Good thing sister let you practice first, otherwise you'd embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend, right?"

Su Manyao spoke lightly, while in her high heels her fair jade toes were already clenched together.

Her collarbone was also feeling hot.

"Right, right."

"Thank you, Sister Manyao." Jiang Cheng's scalp went numb, his heart also quickened, and he forced a reply.

"Mm, focus on driving."

Su Manyao said coolly.

"Sure."

Jiang Cheng quietly let out a breath; Su Manyao didn't give him trouble.

After pulling away, Jiang Cheng didn't even notice himself reaching up to touch his lips.

That scene just now lingered in his mind, impossible to shake.

Having lived this long, aside from being clueless as a child, this was the first time he'd had such intimate contact with a girl.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

Suddenly he felt somewhat guilty toward his gentle online girlfriend, whom he hadn't even met yet, having given his first kiss to another sister.

Moreover, he gave his first kiss to the other party, but didn't get a kiss in return—what a loss.

……

The pedestrian street where Modu Daxue is located isn't far from the university town; it's a ten-odd minute drive away.

At a roadside where parking was allowed, Su Manyao got out of the car.

With her looks, she naturally became the center of attention in the crowd.

Passersby peered into the car, wondering what kind of rich tycoon could possess such a stunning woman.

Upon looking, they were even more surprised—it was a young handsome guy.

"He's probably a second-generation rich kid; it's nice to have money at home."

Su Manyao got out of the car, her pinky hooked to a baby bump on her shoulder, "Remember to get the flowers; they're probably nearby, just navigate yourself."

"Sure."

Jiang Cheng agreed, watching Su Manyao's distant retreating figure, for a moment lost in thought.

Behind him, some unknown shoddy driver honked.

The pedestrian street prohibits honking, so this honk was especially grating.

Jiang Cheng's thoughts were also interrupted by that grating sound.

Just then Su Manyao turned her head to look this way.

Jiang Cheng subconsciously slammed the accelerator and zoomed off with a sucking sound.

The yujie Su Manyao watched that receding taillight, like a fleeing vehicle, and smiled faintly.

After flooring it for two kilometers, Jiang Cheng finally remembered he still hadn't checked the address his gentle online girlfriend had sent.

He took out his phone.

"Right, first check where the flower shop is."

Upon opening it, he discovered the flower shop was actually right near where Su Manyao had just gotten out of the car! Indeed, not listening to sister's advice, he suffered a loss right before his eyes, then opened the address sent by the gentle online girlfriend.

Upon opening it, lo and behold, it was also right near where Su Manyao had just gotten out of the car! And it was right across from the flower shop! The gentle online girlfriend also sent a message saying she had arrived.

She sent Jiang Cheng the seat number at the coffee shop.

Seeing the gentle sister's message, Jiang Cheng's heart quietly calmed.

Having just been messed with by Su Manyao, it was quite chaotic.

Jiang Cheng restarted the car, looped half a circle, found a parking lot beside the pedestrian street, and parked.

Then he walked over, first went into the flower shop to pick up the flowers.

Back in the shop, the few girls picking flowers were immediately annoyed: "You go, you go."

"Go on, I'll let you have it."

"You just don't dare go, so I'll go then."

A tall girl with a ponytail walked up to Jiang Cheng and said, "Handsome guy, can you give me your WeChat?"

The girl was fairly pretty, maybe an eight out of ten; otherwise she wouldn't dare approach such a handsome guy as Jiang Cheng and have the courage to ask for his WeChat.

Jiang Cheng glanced at her with his narrow eyes: "My WeChat I registered myself through my own abilities; why should I give it to you?"

After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked off; he had already felt guilty toward the gentle sister, and now, while getting the gift, adding another girl's WeChat would be going too far.

The rejected girl stood there watching Jiang Cheng's back as he entered the coffee shop, utterly dumbfounded.

Is he truly clueless or pretending? Does this count as rejecting me?

Someone actually can refuse me?

The young lady is all flustered...

……

"Sir, do you have a seat?"

"Su Manyao sat in the coffee shop's booth, leaning against the sofa's backrest, her long legs crossed, one high heel resting on the leg of the adjacent chair."

It took her a while to recover.

Not to mention her brother panicked; she herself was panicking uncontrollably.

She had never been alone with a boy since she was old enough to understand things; today, seeing her brother with his roommate, she heard that the roommate was going to meet his girlfriend.

Thinking that she also had to meet the college student she had coaxed today, she felt a rush of heat and wanted to act like an older sister.

As a result, she almost scared herself to death, her heart almost jumping out.

Although she had never been afraid in society or in business, this kind of alone time between a man and a woman is completely different!

Thinking of this, Su Manyao couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke her own collarbone.

"This should also count as losing my first kiss, right?"

"But I've never had this kind of contact with a guy before."

Suddenly, Su Manyao felt a little scared, her heart began to flutter.

Although she felt she had figured out the college student she was to meet today—that he wasn't a bad person and wasn't from Modu University, so he wouldn't know him.

But if they ended up alone and the same thing happened, what should she do? "How about... not meeting?"

Just as that thought formed in Su Manyao's mind, before she could act, the booth's curtain was pulled open.

A familiar figure stood there holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Jiang Cheng?"

……

Jiang Cheng, led by the coffee shop waiter, his heart nervous yet slightly excited, came to seat 021.

Before he could speak, the waiter swept aside the curtain.

Before Jiang Cheng could prepare himself, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa, beautiful as if made by AI.

"Su Manyao sister."

Jiang Cheng was dazed, he checked the seat number—021, no mistake! "Aren't you supposed to be meeting your girlfriend?"

"What are you following me for?" Su Manyao frowned slightly.

She didn't like the feeling of being followed.

Originally, from just that contact, her impression of this big guy wasn't bad.

But if he were to follow her or have some ulterior motive toward her.

If that were the case, she wouldn't want to see this guy standing before her for even a second!

No matter how handsome he is, it's no good!

But the reality is, this young man not only had to stand before her, he walked to the seat in front of her and sat down directly!

Su Manyao felt angry, her face grew colder, and she said calmly: "Jiang Cheng, what are you doing?"

Jiang Cheng held the flowers, sat opposite Su Manyao, then placed the car keys on the table and pushed them toward her.

"I'll return the car keys to you first."

Su Manyao didn't understand what Jiang Cheng meant; she narrowed her beautiful eyes at him, and if he didn't give a perfect explanation, he'd be in trouble!

"I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice; my butt could sit on you to death!" Then Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, placed the flowers in his hand on the table, and pushed them toward Su Manyao, "The flowers you chose yourself—here they are."

Su Manyao's gaze gradually turned surprised; she realized something.

The expression on her face also began to shift.

"You borrowed my car to hit on me?"
