C78

The next morning, it was only six o'clock in the morning. The sun had already fully revealed its smiling face, illuminating the busy city of Shallow Water.

The early spring sunshine was especially soft and warm, shining on Jian Fan's fair and delicate face, giving off a gentle red glow, as if she was a winged angel that was elegantly flying in the morning light.

Dressed in a white sportswear, Jian Fan knocked on Zhou Tong's door.

Zhou Tong's sleepiness did not diminish. She laid on the door with a sullen face, half dead, and asked, "What's wrong, my young miss?"

"Accompany me out for a run. If you keep sleeping, you'll get wrinkles." His hair was tied up to his head, revealing a shiny forehead. His tone was light and lively like a fairy.

"I'm not going. I still need to sleep, or else I'll be fired if I don't have the energy to go to work later."

That's right, not everyone developed a habit like her.

Jian Fan's heart softened as Zhou Tong closed the door with a bang.

Well, she could run by herself.

On the opposite side of the shallow mountain was a beautiful scenery. Beside the mountain road was a clear and quiet path. The trees by the side of the road were all cherry trees, and this time the trees were bright pink.

The thought of being able to breathe the fresh mountain air and feel the beauty of early spring excited Jane.

Apart from the two crazy people he had met in the past two days, everything else was so beautiful.

Without further ado, Jane Fan changed into her running shoes, grabbed her key, and left the house.

The shallow mountain was two kilometers away from the new era apartment. Jane Fan took a taxi and got on it. She heard the taxi driver say that the shallow mountain was a private hill, and that there was a gate at the foot of the mountain.

But since she was already here, and she was just going for her morning practice, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Moreover, Zhou Tong said that the top of the mountain was the Church of Christianity, so it would be fine for her to pretend to be a follower.

After getting off the car, Jian Fan saw a security booth and a door that was opened.

As he approached the security booth to speak, the door opened as his head came out.

Jian Fan was overjoyed. Without another word, he ran up the mountain.

The mountain paths were covered with late-season cherry blossoms that were spread out in several layers, like the hem of a bride's dress, or like the pink sheets of a little girl's home.

Jian Fan bent over and cupped a handful in his hand. After a small sniff, all the pores on his body opened up.

The Church of Christ was truly exquisite. Even the mountain paths were paved with such flat and luxurious decorations that one could not see even a single stone on the road except for the petals. Seeing how intact the flower petals were, as if no one had been here for a very long time, she couldn't bear to even take a step down.

As they continued to jog, a strange sound made Jian Fan curious.

"Ahh …" "Wuwang …"

It seemed like a puppy. Jian Fan sped up his pace and ran towards the top of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, a half human's height, snow-white fur, and a big white dog appeared.

"Wang …" "Wang Wang …"

Apparently, the puppy also saw her and was sprinting towards her at a speed of 100 meters.

Jian Fan was a little afraid of dogs, and thought about whether he should retreat or not. However, it was a bit closer. Its expression was not fierce at all, and it even seemed to be smiling.

AHH!" "Before she could even react, the snow-white dog had already jumped to her feet. It kept bowing and turning its body, trying to express its goodwill towards her.

Jian Fan's heart softened as he squatted down to hug it.

She smiled so sweetly that she was intoxicated by the morning sun.

"Puppy dog, what's your name? Can't you find your way home? "

Puff rubbed his hand against her neck, making her giggle.

"It's called Puff. You're the one who named it."

The sudden appearance of a man's voice behind him gave Jian Fan a fright.

She stood up with professional vigilance, then turned around and hit the man in the chest.

His line of sight landed on a top-notch craftsman's face that was meticulously carved to the point of perfection.

His heart skipped a beat, and his steps reacted faster than her heart. He had already retreated several steps back. "It's you?"

The corner of Ling Chen's mouth slightly opened, revealing a bitter smile: "Are you that afraid of me?"

"Why are you here?" Jian Fan looked at him with a guarded expression. Although she didn't have any deep grudges against him, she hated him just because of his arrogant appearance. Besides, he also … He was also a pervert who liked to hug her and say that she was his woman.

"This is my home, why can't I be here?" Ling Chen took a step forward. The one who was even faster was Puff.

"Is this your home?" Jian Fan looked around and estimated that 500 meters away, there was a European style palace. It was not a church at all, but an extremely luxurious villa.

Zhou Tong had lied to her!

With a quick thought, he realized that it wasn't surprising that the president of the Ling family, who controlled a third of the economic lifeline of the city, had a private hill and a villa that hid deep inside.

A tycoon!

Jian Fan glanced at him in disdain and prepared to run down the mountain.

How depressing. If she knew this was his territory, she wouldn't have come up.

Just as Jane Fan was about to move, Puff blocked her path horizontally.

"Go..." "Go!" Puff did not seem to want to move at all. Instead, she wagged her tail and raised her head, looking quite pitiful.

"You are its master, and it will not leave." Ling Chen was also dressed in a carbon silver sportswear. He had his arms around himself, and his posture was lazy and casual. At this moment, he no longer emanated a vicious aura, but rather a few traces of kinship.

Jian Fan glared at him, "Do you always use these kinds of excuses to get close to girls?"

Ling Chen chuckled, "I never needed to get close to anyone. What I said was the truth."

Jian Fan blushed and said angrily, "Since you don't intend to get close to me, then please leave with your dog. I am going down the mountain."

Ling Chen's smile became even wider, "Since you're already here, why don't you go to my house for breakfast?"

"If you don't leave now, I'll treat you to a meal of fists." Jane took a horse step and jumped back in fright.

"You are not my opponent. No one likes girls who are too fierce." Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders, and slowly took a few steps closer.

"Don't come over." Jane Fan stared at him, obviously her words had no effect. Ling Chen continued moving closer to her.

Seeing that he was about to close in, Jian Fan didn't say anything and just sent a heavy punch over. Ling Chen caught her, then pushed her down onto the cherry tree behind him. As they moved, the petals of the tree fell on them.

Jian Fan used his leg to sweep at him, but was caught between his legs. His whole body was tightly locked in his embrace, and his posture was extremely ambiguous.

"Let me go!"

"Don't move!"

The hot and humid air sprayed all over her face, and his gaze was too profound. Her slightly flustered face was reflected in his pitch-black pupils.

"What are you trying to do?"

Jian Fan lowered his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye. His eyes were filled with a pair of pink and tiny lips.

His head was slowly lowering, and his lips were drawing closer to hers.

Jian Fan's face became increasingly red, as if he was on fire. What was he trying to do? Did he want to kiss her?

Her tightly clamped legs slightly bent as she focused all of her strength on her right knee. If he dared to disobey her, she would show him what she could do.

The birds in the forest were chirping happily, but she could still hear the sound of their hearts beating faster and faster.

Whoosh!

As she got closer, she could even feel his breath.

Jian Fan closed his eyes tightly, silently counting three, two, one …

"There's a blade of grass in your hair." A deep voice rang in his ears, but the imaginary kiss did not come. When Jane Fan's bent knees came down again, he felt relieved.

Ye Zichen opened his eyes and glared at him angrily. He was indeed holding an inch long weed in his hand.

Ling Chen saw that Jian Fan looked like he was about to eat someone, and wantonly smiled, "Are you disappointed because I didn't kiss you?"

"You're courting death!"

Ling Chen bent down to rub his injured leg, and Jian Fan used this opportunity to break free. Patting his wrinkled clothes, he ran down the mountain without looking back.

"Hey, are you coming back tomorrow?" Ling Chen shouted towards the back.

Jian Fan didn't look back. The fool wouldn't be here until tomorrow.

There were no taxis on the way back. It was Jian Fan who jogged all the way back. He had left the house early in the morning and escaped back in such a sorry state, so it could be considered as morning practice.

Don't ever let her meet that Ling Chen again. If you see him again, she will definitely give him a good look.

When Jane Fan entered the room, Zhou Tong was brushing her teeth.

Jane Fan took off his sports shirt and directly went into the bathroom to shower. He looked as if he had eaten explosives.

Zhou Tong was so scared that she nearly choked to death as she swallowed a mouthful of foam. After washing up for a long time and drinking a lot of water, he finally recovered. When she had washed her face, washed the milk, fried the eggs, and placed them in the toast, Jane Fan finished her bath and changed into her police uniform.

"That... "Little Fan, I know that you're not loyal enough to accompany you to your morning practice. Eat some breakfast, calm down, and don't lower yourself to the same level as a lazy person like me."

Zhou Tong pulled open the chair for Jian Fan to sit on. The moment she sat down, she immediately began to massage her shoulders. She guessed that her anger was due to the fact that she had not been with her that morning and had been shut out of the room.

Jian Fan raised his head and looked at her with a probing gaze. His expression was so serious that it was a little cold. "Why are you lying to me?"

Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat and he was a bit flustered. "I, I, I …" What did I lie to you about? "Don't scare me."

"The European buildings in the shallows are not churches, but the homes of the upstart Ling Chen."

"You went to the shallow mountain? How did you get up there? " Zhou Tong was shocked. In the whole of Drifting Water City, no one had ever gone up the shallow mountains. That was Ling Chen's personal domain that he had bought back then. They had been on guard all day, and not even a fly could enter.

"You know there's a gate there!" Jian Fan was even more sure that Zhou Tong was lying to him.

Zhou Tong suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was already too late. She quickly put on a pitiful fawning look and wiped away her tears. "Xiaofan, you misunderstood me. Didn't I see that you and Ling always had a grudge, so I didn't dare tell you the truth. Who would have thought that you would go to the shallow mountain for morning training, and who could have guessed that you would go there so easily? Aren't I trying to make you feel more comfortable? If you want to come over and say that the villa opposite is owned by Ling Chen, wouldn't you feel stifled? Forgive me. "

It was obvious that Jian Fan was no match for her coquettish and affectionate attack. After a while, he gave up and said, "Alright, forget it. Seeing that you've made me breakfast, I'll forgive you this time."

Just as Zhou Tong stood up, before he could even cheer, Jian Fan poured a bucket of cold water on him, "But you have to accept the punishment, you have to accompany me to morning practice three to five days a week."

"Huh?" It would be better to kill her.

"What? Don't agree?" Seeing her face twisted into a meat bun, Jane Fan purposefully lowered his voice to scare her.

"Alright, alright, as long as you don't get angry, I'll accompany you." Zhou Tong cried out in grief. Oh god, it was her beauty sleep. It seemed like she needed to buy more eye cream and sleep mask to make up for it.
