Chapter 3

Li Qingyao rented a one-bedroom apartment on the top sixth floor. The house was very old, but fortunately the landlord had renovated it for renting out. The whole house had wooden floors, clean white walls, and a few simple pieces of furniture.

The house was almost cleaned up. After Li Qingyao got home, he ordered a takeaway, mopped the house again, hung up the misty green curtains he bought at the weekend, and placed a few pots of plump succulents.

At this time, the takeaway arrived. It was a light salad. Li Qingyao ate it slowly, took a shower, and changed into soft cotton home clothes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the window to look out.

it's getting dark.

There were almost no tall buildings in this area. Li Qingyao could see most of the block. Those houses were like jagged monsters, standing silently for many years. The street lights were dim on the electric poles. There were not many windows with lights on. Perhaps many people who survived here had not returned yet, or perhaps some buildings were no longer occupied.

Li Qingyao leaned forward with her arms on the windowsill, just like when she was studying, and one of her toes touched the ground. She stared at the thick and thin black in front of her, lost in thought.

Until her eyes fell on a window on the top floor diagonally opposite.

The curtains were not drawn, probably because the owner was not very particular. There was a yellow light in the room, and the man, who had probably just finished a shower, was shirtless and wearing long pants, adjusting the TV with a remote control.

With Li Qingyao's eyesight, he could clearly see every inch of his muscles. The lines from his shoulders to his lower abdomen were firm and smooth. However, Li Qingyao didn't expect that he had quite a lot of white skin. Men of his age were neither thin like teenagers nor thick like middle-aged men. They only had the symmetry, firmness and strength of young men.

Li Qingyao came to a conclusion in his mind: 90 points for the face and 98 points for the upper body.

She had intended to pretend she didn't see it, but she changed her mind when she remembered his tone downstairs. She blew a clear and long whistle in the quiet night.

Chen Pu, who was standing opposite him, suddenly raised his head, and their eyes met accurately across the distance of more than ten meters between the buildings. He walked to the window with a cold face and closed the curtains with a "rustle".

Li Qingyao laughed out loud.

Chen Pu bought the two-bedroom apartment he lives in five years ago. His family didn't understand because the housing prices here really had no investment value, but Chen Pu didn't explain it to anyone.

Chen Pu's father is an entrepreneur. He is neither better than the top nor the bottom in the business world of Xiangcheng. Chen Pu is the youngest son in the family. Chen Pu's eldest brother took a different path from his father and is currently the secretary of a city leader; the second brother inherited the family business and is the new president of the family business. Only Chen Pu was brought up by his mother and grandparents since he was a child. The family conditions were very good at that time, and they were spoiled to an unbelievable degree. In elementary school, he was the bully of the experimental primary school. When he went to middle school, although he had good grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry, even his parents didn't know where he got his gangster spirit from. He called friends all day long, made trouble, and sat firmly on the throne of the boss of the attached middle school. Naturally, he had many fights and was about to become a scourge in Xiangcheng.

The father and the eldest and second brothers decided to either send him to the army or to the police academy, and let the country discipline him. If this kid is not sent to be a law enforcer, he will probably become the one being enforced in the future. The army is too far away, and the two women in the family are unwilling to do so. In the end, Chen Pu was asked to take the police academy. It doesn't matter whether he becomes a policeman after graduation, he will not starve to death if he works in the company at home.

Chen Pu didn't care. He was a passionate young man of 17 or 18 years old at that time. He was ignorant about the future and thought that being a policeman was very cool.

As for his girlfriend, the girls who pursued him in high school lined up from the front door to the back door of the affiliated high school. Unfortunately, the eldest brother only had the heart of the underworld, and his life was only about basketball games, smoking and drinking, and flying with a group of brothers every day. When he went to the police academy, it was too late to talk about it.

But no one in his family expected that Chen Pu would work as a criminal policeman for eight years and end up like this. That evening, after washing his face at home, Chen Pu's earlobes returned to normal temperature. He thought he was still as calm as a rock, and ordered takeout as usual - stir-fried pork with peppers, millet stewed with radish and rice from a seafood restaurant 3.5 kilometers away.

There was no need to clean the house. His mother hired a part-time worker who came three times a week during work hours. While waiting for the takeaway, Chen Pu ran on the treadmill for half an hour and then did some weight training for another half an hour as usual. When he was sweating all over, the takeaway arrived.

Chen Pu threw the takeaway on the table and went to take a shower. He had a hot body, and the spring night was not cold, so he left the bathroom in his pajamas.

Li Qingyao whistled at this moment.

Chen Pu never expected that Li Jincheng's sister had this side. After pulling the curtains, he felt a little annoyed - he was not a woman, but he acted as if he was afraid she would see it!
Besides, how could a male superior run away after being peeped at by a female subordinate? He should have walked to the window naked and scolded her back righteously.

But it would be stupid to draw the curtains now.

Chen Pu had a stiff face. He grabbed a T-shirt and put it on. He took a deep breath and decided not to argue with this ignorant girl.

He sat down on the sofa, turned on a movie, and opened the takeout boxes one by one. After taking a few bites of rice, he threw away his chopsticks and stood up, walked to the dressing mirror, stared at himself with a cold face for a while, lifted the hem of his T-shirt, looked at his abdominal muscles, and smiled faintly.

The next day, before Chen Pu went to work, he prepared himself mentally.

On the one hand, Li Qingyao is Li Jincheng's sister, which is almost equivalent to his biological sister; on the other hand, he also reflected on himself. He had little contact with girls, and he lived like a monk in the past seven years. He had no time to attend the blind dates arranged by his family, and the opposite sex he could meet were either victims or suspects. So he didn't know much about the tempers of girls nowadays.

However, as soon as he arrived at the office, Chen Pu realized that he had thought too much. Li Qingyao at work was completely different from Li Qingyao after get off work.

The oldest person in the squadron is Fang Kai, who is 40 years old and his child is about to go to junior high school. As soon as Chen Pu sat down, he heard Fang Kai happily say to Li Qingyao: "Xiao Li, do you know the teacher of Siming Training?"

Li Qingyao changed into a white short jacket and black wide-leg pants today. The bottom of the jacket revealed her waist wrapped in a T-shirt. She leaned back in her chair, turning a pen in her hand. She still spoke in that gentle tone: "My high school classmate is teaching mathematics in Siming. I can ask for you, but I can't guarantee it."

Fang Kai said, "That's great! Siming Training's math class is the best in the city. We missed the registration this semester and have been trying to apply but there are no vacancies. Whether it succeeds or not, my sister-in-law and I will treat you to a meal!"

Li Qingyao waved his hand: "No need!" He glanced at Chen Pu who was looking over here and smiled faintly: "Hasn't the boss already invited us for the weekend?"

Fang Kai felt that this new girl was kind and didn't like to take advantage of others, so he laughed and said, "Yes, I won't feel bad if I kill the boss."

Chen Pu: “…”

He's quite sweet-talker. When I whistled at him last night, did you think he was the boss?
