"Nian Nian, what are you looking at?"
Lu Zhi's voice came from behind, as deep as a cello played to its lowest note.
Jiang Nian slammed the laptop shut - her hacker interface code was still lit up on the screen. She turned around and met a pair of deep eyes.
He leaned against the door frame, his shirt cuffs rolled up to his forearms, revealing a nice wrist. The corners of his mouth were half-smiling, like a cat seeing a fish with its tail exposed.
"It's nothing, I'm... Chasing dramas." She guiltily hid her notebook behind her back.
"Following dramas?" He took a step closer, picked up a strand of her hair scattered on her shoulders with his slender fingers, and moved it behind her ears inadvertently. When the fingertips brushed against her ear, her breath hitched.
"Then why are you blushing?"
"No! The air conditioner is too hot!"
He lowered his head, so close to her that he could feel each other's breath. The warm breath brushed the tip of her nose, carrying the faint scent of cedar from him.
"Nian Nian," his voice was very low, as if he was speaking to her alone, "do you know what I like most about you?"
She swallowed nervously: "... What?"
"When you lie, your ears get red."

Online, she "can't stop thinking about it", flirting with him until his heart beats faster.
Offline, she was Jiang Nian, and she was so nervous when she saw him that she died.
And he, Lu Zhi, the CEO of Mingsheng Technology and a former criminal investigation technical consultant, had long recognized her in network attack and defense.
He didn't say anything.
He just... Wanted to see how cute she could be.

Don't you understand that the title of the book is related to the article? After reading more than ten chapters, I don't know if this is a romance novel or a suspense novel, but I just can't get over it. It has a lot of contradictions.
