Chapter 168 The Dust Settles
The days in February are still very short, and the sun has already set below the horizon when we get off work, and the street lamps are lit up one after another, illuminating the bustling gate of J Academy due to the Western festival.

Along the way, Jiayi looked at the students passing by in pairs hurrying to go on a date, and couldn't help secretly envious of the students' simple little happiness.

Before Lu Xiangdong forcefully asked Jiayi to go to the unfinished blind date with him, but now he didn't act like a gentleman, he strode ahead and Jiayi followed behind angrily, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed .

Walking out of the gate of J Academy, Lu Xiangdong walked towards his usual direction of going home from get off work without looking back, Jiayi couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and quickly called him from behind: "Hey! Where are you going?"

Lu Xiangdong stopped, looked back at Jiayi, and then glanced behind her, a smile appeared on his usual dull handsome face: "As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty, now the task is completed, see you tomorrow! After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Jiayi, turned around and strode away.

Jiayi was baffled by his words, and seeing Lu Xiangdong looking behind him with a smile in his eyes when he was leaving, he turned around suspiciously.

It's Cheng Feng.

Today he looks very different, he is not wearing a police uniform, and he is also different from his usual casualness. The dark gray woolen coat looks more straight on his tall and straight body.Cheng Feng was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in his hand, and his face was still natural even when facing the scene of the murder. Although he was smiling, he was obviously nervous.

"..." Jiayi looked at Cheng Feng, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, she felt her heart beating violently, she already understood what the picture in front of her meant, but everything was too unexpected Unexpectedly, she felt caught off guard.

Cheng Feng walked over step by step, stopped in front of the stunned Jiayi, and handed her the bouquet in his hand: "For you!"

Jiayi didn't answer it, and asked with a sullen face on purpose, "Why did you send me flowers?"

"Because I was stopped by a flower seller on the way just now, I couldn't resist her, so I had to buy it." Cheng Feng said helplessly, and then saw Jiayi's astonished expression, couldn't help laughing, and put the bouquet Tucked into her arms, he fondled Jiayi's hair: "Silly girl, I bought it just for you!"

Knowing that he was being teased by Cheng Feng again, Jiayi was a little annoyed at him, thinking of his obvious disappointment just now, he also blushed slightly.

"Let's go, shall we go eat first?" Cheng Feng took Jiayi's hand: "For the sake of my feet being numb from the cold after waiting at your school gate for more than an hour!"

Jiayi nodded, and when she heard Cheng Feng say that she had been waiting for her for so long, she felt sweet and distressed at the same time, she couldn't help asking while following him to the parking lot: "You know exactly when I get off work Why are you here so early? It's so cold today! You idiot!"

Cheng Feng knew that Jiayi was feeling sorry for him, his heart felt hot, and he looked at Jiayi with a smile: "It's not because of worry!"

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried that someone will act preemptively, so I'll ask you away!" Cheng Feng walked to the car, opened the door for Jiayi, and sat in the driver's seat himself.

After what he said, Jiayi remembered the original agreement with Lu Xiangdong today and the words about being entrusted with loyalty just before he left.She suddenly realized: "It turns out that you and Lu Xiangdong are working together to plot against me!"

"Inappropriate words!" Cheng Feng scolded Jia Yi with a smile while driving: "How can you call yourself a gangster? We are a strategic alliance!"

Soon, the car drove to a restaurant that young couples had always liked. Because of Valentine's Day, there were many couples waiting for a table with numbers at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Why don't we change to another one?" Jia Yi looked at the people in the waiting area: "This restaurant seems to be very popular, but today, I guess we won't be able to wait for a table in a while!"

Cheng Feng smiled, pulled her straight to the front desk, and reported his name to the front desk staff, who immediately smiled and signaled them to go upstairs.

Jiayi always felt that the girl at the front desk was looking at him with ambiguous eyes, but she didn't think too much about it, and followed Cheng Feng all the way up to the third floor.The third floor is the couple box floor of this restaurant. This floor is the quietest and most atmospheric in the entire restaurant. Even on weekdays, reservations are required in advance.

When she came to the third floor, Jiayi was pushed to the front by Cheng Feng. She walked along the corridor, and there was a waiter standing at the door of each box, and when she passed by everyone, she would receive a note from the other party. A rose, and heard a "Happy Valentine's Day to Ms. Liu Jiayi" greetings.

Such congratulatory speeches with names and surnames obviously do not belong to the hotel's business strategy. Jiayi looked back at Cheng Feng suspiciously, but Cheng Feng smiled and said nothing.

Just like this, he came all the way to the door of the box at the end of the corridor. At this time, Jiayi had already accepted N sentences of Valentine's Day wishes, and he also had an extra bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Are you Miss Liu Jiayi?" the waiter in front of the box door asked Jiayi with a smile.

Jiayi nodded: "I am."

"The private room for you two is ready, I wish you a pleasant meal!" The waiter opened the door of the private room and welcomed Jiayi and Cheng Feng in. The soft lighting in the private room and the candles flickering in the water glasses on the dining table made the private room feel more comfortable. Very warm.

Gentleman Cheng Feng pulled out the chair for Jiayi, sat across from him, picked up the red wine and poured it for Jiayi. Because he had to drive, he only poured a little.

"You..." Jiayi just opened his mouth to ask Cheng Feng if he wanted to say something to himself. After all, on this special day, he appeared outside the school gate with a rose in his hand, which is enough to explain everything, but she still hopes Some words can come out of his own mouth.But when he raised his eyes and saw Cheng Feng who was looking at him intently, Jiayi suddenly felt very embarrassed. When the words came to his lips, he turned a corner and changed his appearance: "Why are you running so early today so stupidly?" Go to the school gate and wait?"

"It was Lu Xiangdong who said that you have been very popular recently, and asked me to wait for you earlier, lest he lose face, and in case other people take you away in advance." Cheng Feng replied seriously.

"So you just stood there holding the flowers for over an hour?" Jia Yi opened his eyes wide: "Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Cheng Feng thought of how many people looked at him curiously or knowingly while he was waiting for Jiayi to appear, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not embarrassing, but it's somewhat embarrassing. However, I think it's worth it!"

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, put one large, two small, and three plates covered with silver covers on the table, then greeted the two with a smile, exited the box and closed the door.

"What is this?" Jiayi asked curiously.

Cheng Feng blinked mysteriously: "This is the test question I gave you tonight!" As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the lid of the big dinner plate.

It was a heart-shaped cake, the sides of the cake were covered with red strawberries, and the circle on the front was made of a wreath of red cream roses, with the words "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" written in chocolate syrup in the middle.

"Be my girlfriend, okay?" Cheng Feng asked.

Jiayi looked at the words written on the cake, her heart was pounding in her chest, and when she looked up at Cheng Feng, her face was a little more shy.

Cheng Feng was not in a hurry to ask Jiayi to give the answer, he smiled and pointed to the two small plates in front of Jiayi: "Under the two lids, there are two answers respectively, how about we gamble?"

"Gambling?" Jiayi was taken aback.

"Yes, you can choose one at random, open it, and treat it as a predestined answer, okay?" Cheng Feng looked deeply at Jiayi.

Jiayi shook his head: "Isn't this too child's play?"

"Choose!" Cheng Feng insisted.

Jiayi took a deep breath, looked at the two identical silver lids in front of her, and felt a little nervous for a moment. Finally, she stretched out her hand to the lid on the right. In her heart, there was a voice calling Screaming, expecting the answer to be the one she wanted.

The lid was lifted, and on the small plate was a small round cake, with three words written in bright red on the white cream - "I do".

Seeing these three words, Jiayi quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Cheng Feng raised his glass with a smile and touched Jiayi's: "I wish my destined girlfriend a happy Valentine's Day!"

Looking at the words on the cake, Jiayi felt a little bored. She couldn't help but think, what would happen to Cheng Feng if she accidentally opened another piece of cake?
Thinking of this, she casually opened the lid of the small plate on the left, and then she was stunned.

The same three words are also written on the small round cake-"I do"!
"You're cheating!" Jiayi couldn't help but protested sharply!

Cheng Feng laughed out loud, unexpectedly Jia Yi whipped up a piece of cream and wiped it on his face.

"You sneak attack!" Cheng Feng protested.

"You were the one who lied first! You lied to me to make a choice. It doesn't matter which one I choose!" Jiayi gave him a look, but apart from being coquettish, there was indeed no deterrent force in this look.

Cheng Feng laughed heartily, and wiped off the cream on his face with a napkin: "I don't have the courage to accept a negative answer! As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, I call Cheng SIR, and I will definitely get something!"

"Fart!" Jia Yi blushed.

Cheng Feng turned serious, and he looked at Jiayi seriously: "Jiayi, although I said that I cheated on the cake because I hoped to get a positive answer, I am even more unwilling to force you, so I hope I can hear you answering me yourself. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Jiayi blushed once again, and nodded: "I am willing."

"You're done!" Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect his nerves to be tense even though he was calm and composed just now.

"Is it your fault that Tian Yang and the others sent the flowers today?" Jia Yi couldn't help asking: "The three scumbags have a share, especially Ma Chunlei is the most exaggerated, half roses and half carnations!"

"This guy Lei Zi!" Cheng Feng smiled helplessly: "We agreed, but the flower shop he ordered was not enough roses. In order not to delay the delivery of flowers to Lu Ling, he actually asked them to use other roses for the insufficient number. replace!"

"Now, hurry up and confess all your plots!" Jiayi pretended to be serious, folded his arms and made an interrogation statement: "Confess your crimes, how did you collude with Lu Xiangdong?"

"Isn't it because you said you wanted to have an unfinished blind date with him that day, and I was afraid that when everything was planned, Lu Xiangdong would suddenly come out halfway, so... I went to find him, and then I found out, You just lied to me by talking casually, so I simply followed suit and asked him to help me."

"Then he agreed?" Jiayi asked in surprise.

Cheng Feng nodded.

"Oh my God, Cheng SIR, aren't you a bit too proud?" Jiayi really couldn't help himself from being surprised, after all, for a person like Lu Xiangdong who is so indifferent and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, he would agree to something like Cheng Feng. The request was really unexpected.

"Maybe this is called sincerity, gold and stone are open!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, because the plan was successful and the confession was smooth, he was already very happy at this moment.

Looking at the cake, candles and red wine in front of him, Jiayi couldn't help saying to Cheng Feng: "Why do I feel unreal?"

"Why do you say that?" Cheng Feng didn't understand why Jiayi had such a feeling.

"I didn't expect it to be like this," Jiayi looked at Cheng Feng and said what was in her heart: "During this time, you have been quite alienated from me. I thought you and Wang Zhenzhen..." She paused at this point Looking at Cheng Feng, she wondered if she should continue talking, after all, she never told Cheng Feng about Wang Zhenzhen's private pursuit of her.

"I know she looked for you." Cheng Feng knew what Jiayi didn't say.

"You know?" Jiayi didn't expect this.

Cheng Feng nodded: "Actually, the reason why she came to you was because of Tian Yang and the others. Wang Zhenzhen went to the bureau to look for me once before, but I was not there. Tian Yang and the others told her that I I have a girlfriend, it's you, that's why she ran to you. I talked to her later, and I didn't think about getting back with her!"

Seeing that Cheng Feng was in a hurry to explain, Jiayi couldn't help laughing, and he was a little embarrassed: "I know, but at that time I thought you chose Tian Mi..."

"Tian Mi?" Cheng Feng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "How did you think of that girl?"

"Because you have been indifferent to me these days, but you are often with her, so..." Jiayi blushed, because she could hear it herself, the words just came out of her mouth, sour .

However, for a man, there is nothing more comforting than having a snack of dry vinegar from his beloved woman. After hearing Jiayi's words, Cheng Feng was in a good mood, but he still needs to explain: "I I often ask her out recently because I asked her to be my military adviser! She said that if she wants to have a surprise, she has to make a show of her desire, first alienate you for a few days, and then launch a fierce attack."

Jiayi laughed: "I knew, with your character, how could you arrange so many surprises!"

Cheng Feng rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "That girl Tian Mi came up with the idea, but sincerity and heart are all my own!"

"By the way," Jiayi suddenly thought of the fact that Du Yuzhu came looking for him during the day, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any result in Peng Lei's case?"

After hearing her question, Cheng Feng smiled wryly: "You, Liu Jiayi, are the only woman who can think of the case in such an atmosphere, right?"

Jiayi blushed: "Okay, pretend I didn't ask, so I won't spoil the atmosphere."

"Forget it, let me tell you, lest you keep thinking about it," Cheng Feng stretched out his hand to hold Jiayi's hand: "Anyway, from now on, every day can be Valentine's Day for us!"

Jiayi's face turned even redder.
