The deep male voice was actually wrapped with a hint of coolness in this midsummer night.

I turned around and saw a slender figure standing where the dark night intertwined.

It’s Ji Mu.

My heart trembled, as if some shameful thoughts came to my mind. I was just looking up at the floors, wondering which building he lived in.

But unexpectedly, I ran into him in the garden.

Cheng Peng also turned his head to look at me. I pushed him away and said angrily, "Cheng Peng, if you still want to be friends, keep your distance. If you don't want to be friends, then when we meet in the future, don't even say hello."

Cheng Peng was stunned when he saw my cold tone. The next second, he stepped back in disappointment and said angrily, "Zhang Lan said you were aloof and hard to pursue. I didn't believe it at first. Yin Jingjing, do you know what those people said about you behind your back?"

I was stunned. What? Someone is teasing me from behind?

"Who cares what others say, Cheng Peng? Don't be such a fool that you want to destroy something if you can't get it. Be a more honest person." He hugged me forcefully just now, which had already touched my bottom line. Now, he actually wanted to destroy my mentality.

Cheng Peng's face turned red and then green, but he didn't dare to continue talking and ran away quickly.

Ji Mu was standing under the shade of a tree watching us. When he saw me scold Cheng Peng away, he suddenly chuckled.

I was a little embarrassed, but at this moment my cell phone rang. It was Zhang Lan.

I immediately walked over to answer the phone. Zhang Lan asked me on the phone, "The car is here. Where are you and Cheng Peng? Hurry and meet at the community gate."

"I'm not going. You guys go have fun." Cheng Peng ruined my mood.

"What's the matter? Didn't we just talk fine?" There was a smile in Zhang Lan's voice.

My face darkened: "Do you know that Cheng Peng confessed his love to me?"

Zhang Lan didn't expect me to be so smart and actually guessed it. She said a little embarrassedly, "Jingjing, I'm doing this for your own good. Cheng Peng is a good person."

"If it's really good, why don't you keep it for yourself?" I was really angry. Although I usually give people the impression of being good-tempered and gentle, and never talk about other people's faults in front of or behind their backs, if you really make me angry, I will also turn against you.

"Jingjing, you're not going to be angry just like that?" Zhang Lan said jokingly, "Cheng Peng and I are pretty familiar with each other. Besides, he likes you."

"The premise of liking someone is respect. Please tell him that we don't need to see each other again." After I said that, I hung up the phone.

Zhang Lan didn't call me again. I guess, by now, they have all taken a car to have fun at KTV.

I held the phone and turned to look at Ji Mu.

Ji Mu walked towards me and said in a low voice: "Who made you angry?"

In the light and shadow, I looked into his eyes and pulled a smile at the corner of my mouth: "Did you see everything that happened just now?"

Ji Mu nodded: "I was at the elevator entrance just now and thought I saw the wrong person, so I followed to confirm. Unexpectedly, it was really you."

"Doctor Ji, don't misunderstand me. I didn't follow you here." I immediately explained, "Do you remember Zhang Lan who took care of me in the hospital last time?"

"Yes, that Miss Zhang is your classmate." Ji Mu must have an impression of her, because as soon as he appeared, Zhang Lan looked at him with starry eyes, obsessed with him.

"She rented an apartment here. Today is the day she officially moves in. She called a group of classmates over to warm up the house." I said in a low voice.

Ji Mu was slightly startled: "This place is quite far from your school, how could she..."

"Of course it's for you." I felt that there was nothing to hide. If this matter was not made clear, I would feel upset.

Ji Mu was in a very bad mood. He didn't expect that a girl would rent a house next to his in order to pursue him.

I looked at his frightened expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "She must like you very much. Doctor Ji has also seen her. She looks good. Would you like to consider her?"

Ji Mu stared at me with a serious look: "Do you really want to see me fall in love with her?"

His rhetorical question left me speechless.

Ji Mu walked towards me, his eyes burning: "You were quite fierce when you rejected that man just now. If you don't love him, you can just say no directly. I want him too."

My breathing became a little slow, and my ears felt hot for no reason.

What nonsense was I saying just now? Ji Mu is my target, how could I give him up?

Zhang Lan had the nerve to push me to Cheng Peng, so why shouldn’t I be embarrassed to snatch Ji Mu away?

I chuckled softly, then pretended to look up at the tall buildings around me: "The houses here are so beautiful. I wonder what Dr. Ji's house looks like."

Seeing that I was being cunning, Ji Mu smiled helplessly and said, "If you want to visit my house, just tell me directly."

I chuckled twice: "Is it convenient?"

Ji Mu didn't bother to pay attention to my sinister expression, turned around and walked to the side road: "Follow me."

I immediately followed his back with happy steps like a kitten.

The elevator went from the first floor to the top floor. Ji Mu's house was actually different from Zhang Lan's. His was a large apartment.

Ji Mu opened the door and turned on the light immediately. A crystal chandelier was hanging from above. Ji Mu actually lived in a duplex.

In 2000, this kind of family could definitely be considered a wealthy family.

But Ji Mu didn't think he was the flamboyant type. Living in this kind of house probably meant his family was wealthy. Although his salary was high, it couldn't support such a lifestyle.

When Ji Mu came in, he took off the watch on his wrist and put it in a cabinet. He then took off his coat and put it on the armrest of the sofa, then turned around and went to the refrigerator to get some water.

I stood at the door, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"I don't have any extra shoes, so don't change." Ji Mu looked back at me and said.

I looked down at my high heels. I had just stepped on them in the neighborhood downstairs and got the soles dirty.

"It's okay, I can mop the floor." Ji Mu had already walked in front of me and handed me a bottle of water: "Don't be restrained, come in and sit down."

Since he invited me so generously, I had no choice but to come in and sit on his sofa.

He unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, put it down, and looked around the house.

Except for the high-ceilinged living room, there is a staircase at the back leading to the second floor, and above the sofa is the railing to the second floor. The decoration is quite luxurious and simple.

"You live alone in such a big house?" I couldn't help but ask him curiously.

Ji Mu nodded: "Usually my parents come over to stay for a few days, most of the time, I live alone."

The moment I opened my mouth, I wanted to ask him if he felt lonely and if he would be afraid sleeping at night. But when I thought about his profession and his cold personality, I realized that he was not afraid of ghosts, so he must enjoy being alone. I decided not to worry about it.

Ji Mu suddenly sat down on the sofa next to me, drinking some water, and looked at me dimly: "This house is a bit big, and it's quite lonely living alone. If there was someone to keep me company, maybe the situation would be better."
