Chapter 3: You Used My Car to Hit on Me?
Time froze.
Jiang Cheng felt like his mouth was pressed against something.
Oh no!
He quickly propped himself up to look.
Fortunately, it was a collarbone.
A collarbone?!
Jiang Cheng was stunned. He hastily propped himself up, but a warmth spread from his palm.
He looked down.
His scalp tingled.
What kind of proper hand rests on someone else's leg?
Impolite.
He instantly pulled his hand away from her leg and quickly sat back in his seat.
He was so embarrassed he didn't know what to say. “This... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.”
Su Manyao's slender, fair hand, out of Jiang Cheng's sight, nervously clenched into a small fist, her long nails pressing into her palm until it turned white.
Her heart tingled. Why did I have to tease the little brother? What do I do now?
She was also stunned. She had caused this herself, so what could she say now that something had happened?
She took a breath and calmly said, “It's a good thing Sister Manyao let you practice first, otherwise you'd be making a fool of yourself in front of your girlfriend, wouldn't you?”
Su Manyao spoke casually, but her fair, jade-like toes in her high heels were tightly pressed together.
Her collarbone was also burning hot now.
“Right, right.”
“Thank you, Sister Manyao.” Jiang Cheng's scalp tingled, and his heart rate also accelerated. He responded with a thick skin.
“Mm, focus on driving.”
Su Manyao said coolly.
“Alrighty.”
Jiang Cheng secretly let out a sigh of relief. Su Manyao hadn't given him any trouble.
After starting the car, Jiang Cheng didn't even notice himself reaching up to touch his lips.
That moment just now kept replaying in his mind.
He had never had such intimate contact with a girl since he was old enough to know better, except for when he was a child.
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
He suddenly felt a little guilty towards his gentle online girlfriend. He hadn't even met her, and his first kiss had already gone to another Sister Manyao.
Moreover, he had given his first kiss, but hadn't received one in return. What a loss.
...
The pedestrian street in the area where Modu University is located was not far from the university town; it took about ten minutes to drive there.
Su Manyao got out of the car at a roadside spot where parking was allowed.
With her looks, she naturally became the center of attention in the crowd.
Passersby all looked into the car, curious to see what kind of rich person could have such a stunning woman.
They were even more surprised to see a handsome young man.
“He's probably a rich second generation. It's so good to have money in the family.”
Su Manyao got out of the car, her little finger hooking her bag over her shoulder. “Remember to pick up the flowers. They should be not far from here. Navigate yourself, okay?”
“Alrighty.”
Jiang Cheng agreed, gazing at Su Manyao's receding figure, momentarily lost in thought.
Behind him, some inconsiderate driver, he didn't know who, honked the horn.
There was a rule against honking in the pedestrian street, so the sound was unusually jarring.
Jiang Cheng's thoughts were also interrupted by the harsh sound.
Just then, Su Manyao looked back in their direction.
Jiang Cheng subconsciously stepped on the accelerator and sped off.
The Yujie, Su Manyao, watched the taillights of the car, which looked like it was fleeing in a panic, and a light smile played on her lips.
After speeding for two kilometers, Jiang Cheng remembered that he hadn't yet checked where his gentle online girlfriend had sent the address.
He took out his phone.
“Right, first I'll check where the flower shop is.”
He clicked to look and found that the flower shop's location was surprisingly near where Su Manyao had just gotten out!
It really goes to show, if you don't listen to Sister Manyao, you'll suffer losses.
He then clicked on the address sent by his gentle online girlfriend.
He clicked to look… and it was also near where Su Manyao had just gotten out!
And it was right opposite the flower shop!
His gentle online girlfriend had also sent a message! Saying that she had already arrived.
She sent Jiang Cheng the coffee shop's seat number.
Seeing his gentle girlfriend's message, Jiang Cheng's heart quietly calmed down.
Su Manyao had really made things chaotic for him just now.
Jiang Cheng restarted the car, drove around for half a circle, and parked the car in a parking lot next to the pedestrian street.
Then he walked over and first picked up the flowers from the flower shop.
The several young women who were choosing flowers in the shop immediately became excited.
“You go, you go.”
“You go, I'll let you.”
“You just don't dare, so I'll go then.”
A tall girl with a ponytail walked up to Jiang Cheng and said, “Handsome, can I have your WeChat?”
The girl was quite pretty, perhaps an eight out of ten, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to approach such a handsome man like Jiang Cheng and still have the courage to ask for his WeChat.
Jiang Cheng's narrow eyes glanced at her. “I registered my WeChat with my own ability, why should I give it to you?”
Jiang Cheng walked away after speaking. He had already felt guilty towards his gentle girlfriend, and now adding another girl's WeChat while getting a gift would be too much.
The rejected young woman stood there, watching Jiang Cheng walk into the coffee shop, completely stunned.
Was he genuinely clueless or just pretending?
Did he just reject me?
Someone can actually reject me?
The young woman was flustered...
...
“Sir, do you have a seat?”
...
Su Manyao sat in a booth at the coffee shop, leaning back against the sofa, her long legs crossed, one high heel resting on the leg of the adjacent chair.
It took her a while to recover.
Not only was the younger brother flustered, but she herself was incredibly flustered.
She had never been alone with a man like this since she was old enough to know better. Today, she saw the younger brother with his roommate, and heard that his roommate was going to meet his girlfriend.
She thought that she was also meeting the university student she had coaxed into coming today, and in a moment of impulse, she wanted to act like an older sister.
But look what happened, she almost lost her life, and her little heart almost jumped out.
Although in this society, in business, Su Manyao had never been afraid, that was completely different from being alone with a man and woman!
Thinking of this, Su Manyao couldn't help but gently caress her collarbone.
“This should count as losing my first kiss, right?”
“But I've never had such contact with a man...”
Suddenly, Su Manyao felt a little scared, and her heart became uneasy.
Although she felt she had a good read on the university student she was meeting today, he wasn't a bad person, and he wasn't from Modu University, so he wouldn't know her.
But what if, when they were alone, the same thing happened? What should she do then?
“Or... should I not meet him?”
No sooner had Su Manyao's thought emerged than, before she could act, the booth curtain was pulled open.
A familiar figure, holding a bouquet of flowers, stood there.
“Jiang Cheng?”
...
Led by the coffee shop waitress, Jiang Cheng, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, arrived at seat 021.
Before he could speak, the waitress pulled open the curtain for him.
Jiang Cheng, unprepared, saw the woman sitting on the sofa, beautiful as if made by AI.
“Su Man... Sister Manyao...”
Jiang Cheng was stunned. He checked the seat number, 021, it was correct!
“Aren't you going to find your girlfriend?”
“Why are you following me?” Su Manyao frowned slightly.
She didn't like the feeling of being followed.
Initially, through their recent interaction, her impression of this young man was quite good.
But if he was following her or had any ulterior motives towards her...
If that were truly the case, then she wouldn't want to see this man standing in front of her for another second!
No matter how handsome he was, it wouldn't matter!
But... the reality was that this young man not only stood in front of her but also walked to the seat in front of her and sat down directly!
Su Manyao was angry, her expression 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 towards Su Manyao.
“I'll return your car keys first.”
Su Manyao didn't know what Jiang Cheng meant. Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at Jiang Cheng. If Jiang Cheng didn't give a perfect explanation, he would be in for it!
Sister Manyao has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice; she could sit on you and kill you!
Then, Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, placed the flowers in his hand on the table as well, and pushed them towards Su Manyao. “The flowers you chose yourself... are also for you.”
Su Manyao's eyes gradually widened in surprise. She realized what was happening.
The expression on her face also changed.
“You used my car to hit on me?”
