Rose Manor

Shen Jia Nian woke up in the middle of the night and wondered whether her neighbor was a boy or girl. Those notes did not seem to reveal any gender-related information. She unilaterally believed that the neighbor was an aunt.

"Ugh……"

Shen Jianian slapped his forehead and let out a long sigh. He couldn't sleep at all. He picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and took a look. It was about two o'clock in the morning.

She looked through her friends circle, but there was nothing to see. Turning to the news column, the only people who interacted frequently with her were Fu Jichen, Bai Changxia, and Zhao Shunyi, who was on vacation recently.

She clicked on Fu Jichen's chat page.

The latest message was at around eight o'clock last night, asking her if she had eaten.

She was in a hot pot restaurant with Zhao Shunyi at that time and did not reply to his message.

Shen Jia Nian swiped the screen and scrolled forward. They were all daily concerns, reminding her to keep warm in the cold weather and not to catch a cold.

Suddenly, her eyes locked on one of them - it is more than ten degrees below zero at night. You are weak and susceptible to wind and cold. Don't run out if you have nothing to do. Stay at home and rest.

She felt baffled at the time, but looking back now, she just came back from outside and knocked on the door next door before receiving the news from Fu Jichen.

Is it...

No, no, Fu Jichen shouldn't be so crazy as to follow her here.

Not necessarily. What can't he do? He had kidnapped her back from Jiangcheng and locked her up in a villa before, so he was not a person who played by common sense.

Once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, Shen Jianian became more and more certain that his guess was correct and all he needed to do was verify it.

She set an alarm for five o'clock, put down her phone, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

When the alarm rang, Shen Jianian was sleeping deeply. It took him a while to open his eyes. He thought about his plan to wait and see, so he suddenly woke up. He got up, got dressed, opened the door a crack, moved a low stool and sat on the door. Wait within.

Checking the time from time to time, from five o'clock to six o'clock, Shen Jianian yawned countless times and almost fell asleep with his head hanging down.

At ten minutes past seven, there was the sound of the door opening next door. Shen Jia Nian was so excited that he pulled out of his half-asleep state and stood up straight.

Without any hesitation, she opened the door and walked out.

After staying there for so many days, she was finally caught!

Fu Jichen was locking the door, without any mental precautions. He was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure next to him. He turned his head and looked at each other.

The air was still and everything around him became slow and clear.

Shen Jianian leaned against the door frame and sneered at the man: "Is it interesting?"

Fu Jichen's stagnant brain started to work again, and he immediately guessed the reason why Shen Jia Nian happened to appear: "Are you waiting here for me on purpose?"

Shen Jianian: "If it weren't for this, I don't know how long I would have been teased by you as a fool."

"I didn't mean to tease you." Fu Jichen walked up to her and pushed her into the house. He didn't want her to stand in the corridor blowing the wind. She had only recovered from the cold for a few days and needed to pay more attention. "Let's go inside and talk."

"Wait, I didn't want to talk to you." She stayed here, just to confirm her guess.

Fu Jichen followed him in. There were no men's slippers at home, so he could only step on the floor with his leather shoes, closed the door behind his back, and explained to her seriously again: "I didn't want to tease you." He looked into her eyes and said Every word is the true thought in my heart, "In fact, if you don't find me, I don't plan to meet you in this building. Even if you never know who your neighbor is, I won't feel sorry."

Shen Jia Nian was beaten back by his simple words. She couldn't understand why she was obviously the one who was taking control of things, but her position was reversed in the blink of an eye, making her seem to be making trouble unreasonably.

"You are just spying on me!" Shen Jianian tried to take back the initiative.

"you mean?"

"How do you know I live here? How do you know I'm sick? And... you even know when I go out!"

Shen Jia Nian squinted his eyes, his eyes sharp and aggressive.

Fu Jichen sighed silently, he indeed sent someone to follow her.

What happened three years ago was a lesson learned from the past, and he didn't dare to have any gambling mentality anymore. The people who were following her were Zheng Yi and another man, and they could report her situation to him at any time. In fact, there were eight people secretly protecting her. But more than eight people are hired, and three shifts are rotated to ensure that there are eight people in each shift.

He couldn't tell her any of this because he didn't want to cause her to panic.

Fu Jichen thought for a while and answered patiently: "After you rented the house, you told Bai Changxia that she happened to accompany her husband to a business reception that day. I was also at the business reception and I found out accidentally. As for your illness, I The morning I came here, I heard the conversation between you and the errand boy. When did you go out..." His tone was a little slow, "I didn't understand what you meant."

Shen Jianian took out his mobile phone and found the WeChat message he had sent her before: "This. I just came back from outside and you sent a message. Do you dare to say that you didn't spy on me?" Fu Jichen curled his lips: "So you saw me sending this message I sent you a WeChat message, so why didn’t you reply to me?”

"Answer my question first!" Shen Jianian was an angry little beast now, not giving him a chance to change the subject.

"I was at home when you knocked on the door." Fu Jichen pointed to the cathole on her door. "I looked out of the door mirror. You were wearing a down jacket, a hat and a scarf."

Shen Jianian stared, speechless for a long time.

"Any more questions?" Fu Jichen took a step forward with a low voice, "I'd rather ask them all together to avoid you suspecting my ulterior motives."

After saying that, he seemed to feel that the choice of words was inappropriate, and nodded to himself: "I do have ulterior motives."

Shen Jianian stared so hard that his eyes were sore: "You... you are a scoundrel!"

"Well, I'm a scoundrel." Fu Jichen accepted her evaluation of him calmly, taking it as a compliment.

Shen Jia Nian was so angry that he was dizzy and pursed his lips tightly.

Fu Jichen smiled again and narrowed her dark eyes. The prestige and indifference in front of outsiders did not exist with her: "You have been waiting for a long time to catch me, right? After breakfast, go back to sleep. I'm going to the company. , I have an important meeting in the morning, I have to go there early to make preparations, and we can talk about it when I come back in the evening."

Shen Jianian looked at the smile on his face and felt that he deserved a beating. Who wanted to talk to him?

"What do you want to eat? I'll have Aunt Cheng bring it to you later." Fu Jichen saw that her eyelids were deeply wrinkled from sleep, and she probably didn't have the energy to make breakfast for herself.

Shen Jianian: "Aunt Cheng cooked the previous sick meal?"

"Yes."

"Where's the note?"

"I wrote it." Fu Jichen added, "Left hand."

Shen Jia Nian secretly cursed "pervert", who can write such beautiful block letters with his left hand.

Fu Jichen raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, and sighed: "I suddenly remembered that you can't recognize my handwriting when you lose your memory. Even if I write with my right hand, you won't recognize that it's me." He is smart. Overdoing it, overthinking.

Shen Jianian didn't want to talk to him anymore, pointed to the door and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to work? Why aren't you leaving?"

Fu Jichen opened the door obediently, and before leaving, he glanced at the place where she lived. The layout was the same as the one next door. She had decorated it in a completely different style, bright and warm.

The door was closed again, and Shen Jia Nian was the only one left in the room. After a long time, she came back to her senses, bit her lip and walked back and forth in the living room. She didn't know who she could talk to about this matter, and finally dialed Bai Changxia's number. .

"Hello..." Bai Changxia was still sleeping. He was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. He didn't even open his eyes, and his words were sticky.

Shen Jianian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself: "Do you know who lives next door to me?"

"Ah?" Bai Changxia's mind was confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "A kind aunt. I heard you said that she sent you sick meals when you were sick."

Shen Jianian told her: "It's Fu Jichen."

The silence on the phone lasted for a few seconds, and there was a faint rustling sound. It was probably Bai Changxia turning over and sitting up: "Who are you talking about? Fu Jichen?"

In fact, she heard clearly and asked again because she couldn't believe it.

"The person who lives next door to me is not a kind aunt at all, but Fu Jichen." Shen Jia Nian said angrily, "I woke up at five o'clock this morning and caught him!"

"How did you suspect him?"

"There was a female resident in the building who gave him cakes yesterday. After we chatted for a while, I found out that my neighbor was a man. I guessed him by following the clues." Shen Jianian's mood was really complicated, "He actually lives next door to me! "

"You said there was a female resident who brought cakes to Fu Jichen?" Bai Changxia clicked his tongue, "It's probably because she fell in love with him. Fu Jichen's face really attracts bees and butterflies wherever he goes."

Shen Jianian said expressionlessly: "Is your focus misaligned?"

Bai Changxia coughed and got back to business: "Then what are you going to do?"

Shen Jianian sat slumped on the sofa, raised his neck, pillowed his head on the backrest, looked at the ceiling and sighed: "What can I do? I signed the rental contract for one year, and I definitely can't move out right away. Besides, no matter where I move, I will be Fu Jichen found it."

"Boss Fu has made it clear that he is chasing you. Instead of avoiding him, it's better to enjoy it. Anyway, he doesn't force you to accept him immediately." Bai Changxia said seriously, "Jianian, you have nothing to lose."
