“Niannian, what are you looking at?”
Lu Zhi’s voice came from behind her, low and resonant, like the lowest note on a cello.
Jiang Nian snapped her laptop shut. The code on her hacking interface was still glowing on the screen. She turned and found herself face-to-face with a pair of deep, dark eyes.
He leaned against the doorframe, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a handsome wrist. The corner of his mouth curled in an almost-smile, like a cat eyeing a fish with its tail sticking out.
“Nothing. I was… watching a show.” She guiltily tried to hide the laptop behind her.
“Watching a show?” He stepped closer and picked up a stray lock of hair that had fallen over her shoulder, casually tucking it behind her ear. His fingertip brushed her earlobe, and her breath caught.
“Then why are you blushing?”
“I’m not! It’s too hot in here!”
He lowered his head, coming close enough for them to feel each other’s breath. His warm breath brushed her nose, carrying the faint scent of cedar.
“Niannian,” he murmured, his voice so low it seemed meant for her alone. “Do you know what I like most about you?”
She nervously swallowed. “…What?”
“When you lie, your ears turn red.”
Online, she is “Nian Bu Xiu,” flirting with him until his heart races.
Offline, she is Jiang Nian, so nervous when she sees him that she stumbles over her words and humiliates herself.
And he, Lu Zhi, CEO of Mingsheng Tech and former criminal investigation technology consultant, recognized her long ago through their online cyber battles.
He doesn’t call her out.
He just… wants to see how adorable she can get.
