It was another day with a light and a muffled afternoon. Since the outdoor temperature was close to 40 degrees Celsius, although it was almost dusk, the nearby Second Beach in Shangdong City was still crowded. Looking around, the entire beach was filled with people, just like canned sardines, full of crowds.

At this time, under the parasol of a cold drink stall near the road at the sea dam in the seabed dam of the sea, a young Asian man with a medium-sized body, wearing dark sunglasses, a jade pendant, an orange-red short-sleeved T-shirt, khaki shorts, and brown leather sandals, was standing in the shade under the parasol, holding a popsicle in one hand and constantly licking the screen with his mobile phone in the other hand, as if looking for a number.

Soon, he seemed to have found the number he needed in his mobile phone and called it immediately. Not long after, the phone was connected.

"Hey? Is it the Black Cat Sheriff? Yes, I'm just an ear." The man whispered, "I went to the cold drink stall you mentioned in the Second Sea Bathroom. Why didn't you see you? Where are you? What? Did you see me? In front of me right? Black Wisdom Running with the flashing light?"

Speaking of this, the man looked up and looked to the front right. Sure enough, he saw a black Smart Run SUV car less than fifty meters away, flashing warning lights constantly.

"I understand, let's go." After the man said that, he hung up the phone, put it in his pants pocket, then looked at the popsicles that had not eaten a lot, he hesitated a little, and simply ate most of them in a few bites. Then he threw the few popsicles into the trash can next to him, and slowly ran towards the black cart.

Soon, the man walked to the driver's seat beside the car and looked in. A short-haired beauty wearing a gray short-sleeved sweatshirt was sitting in the driver's seat where the window was already down.

Her delicate facial features, snow-white skin, handsome eyebrows, and calm expression... That's right, exactly the same as in the photo.

It seemed that the man was looking at him. The woman frowned slightly and then lowered the car window: "Are you an ear?"

"If you want to change the bag!" The man took off his sunglasses and inserted it into his pocket, and then he smiled unnaturally, "What? Is it much different from the photo?"

"Yes." The woman nodded, then looked up and down at the man, and finally stopped at the amber pendant on his neck, "The pendant is good, it's so...sloppy."

"Thank you for your praise. I am deeply honored to be able to make a beautiful woman like you say it is careless." The man smiled, "As for this pendant, I bought it at a roadside stall in the night market before. It is not expensive, it is only twenty yuan. If you like it, I will give it to you."

"Just kidding, don't mind. Actually, although you are not a handsome guy, you have a good smile and are white and clean, and look quite reliable." The woman smiled slightly, and her head tilted to the passenger seat. "Get into the car first, get in the car and say it's hot outside."

"Okay." The man nodded, then he moved to the passenger seat and pulled the door to get in the car.

After the man closed the door and sat in the passenger seat, he stretched out his right hand and smiled: "Hello, Sheriff Black Cat, I'm just one ear. I'm here for the first time. Come and shake hands. I wish our cooperation success."

"Don't be busy for this." The short-haired woman turned to look at him, "First introduce myself, I am a policeman, a criminal policeman."

"Hmm?" The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Oh."

"What I said is true, aren't you afraid?" The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the man's eyes.

"Why am I afraid?" the man said strangely.

"Often scammers will be subconsciously afraid of guilt when they meet a policeman." After the woman said that, she suddenly took out a black leather document from her body and slapped it on the center console of the car. "This is my police officer certificate. I didn't lie to you. I'm really a policeman... I mean, if you are a liar, it's better to explain it as soon as possible, then I'm too lazy to care about you. This time everyone will just pretend that no one has seen anyone, and they will disperse each other."

"So you thought I was a liar." The man smiled slightly, then took out an ID photo from his pocket and gently placed it on the center console. "Then, this is my ID card. If you don't believe it, you'll take it yourself."

He glanced at the man, and the woman indeed took her ID card and looked carefully.

When he found out that the other party started to look at his ID card, the man smiled slightly, took the police officer's certificate and started to look at it on his own.

There is only a simple thing in the police officer's certificate that looks like an ID card, with a photo with a name and police officer's number under it.

"Quiet?"

"Cheng Yuan?"

They read each other's names and looked at each other again. Then, the man named Cheng Yuan nodded with a smile, while the woman named Wenjing looked back and forth at the other person's appearance and photos on her passport, and then nodded.

"At first glance, it doesn't look like a liar." Wen Jing returned the ID card to the other party.

"Do I look like a liar?" While taking the ID card, Cheng Yuan returned the police officer's certificate to the other party, "or is it your police's professional habit? Always doubt everything?"

"The career habits are not enough, but..."

"Just what?"

"Your registration information in the matchmaking agency said you are 1.8 meters tall." Wenjing looked up and down, "It looks like you don't look like you, so... you understand."

"Ahem, this question, uh..." Cheng Yuan touched his nose, "This, that... I didn't mean to lie to you, yes, my friend told me that I should modify it a little if I fill in this kind of information, and... well, I did falsely report my height. This is my fault, but although I am not 1.8 meters tall, it is still 1.76 meters tall. Isn't this too embarrassing, right?"

"As you can see," Wen Jing said lightly, "I am 1.78 meters tall, just like the one registered for information. Even if I only wear flat shoes, I will only be a little taller than you."

"Ahem cough cough..."

"Okay, okay, height is a small problem." Seeing Cheng Yuan's face turned red, Wen Jing smiled slightly, and said softly, "It's because I'm not right. This, we're just pretending to be a couple, and we're all helping each other. After dealing with each other's family, we'll go back to their own houses and do their own things. It's not true, so it doesn't matter if we make do."

“…”

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing again, don't mind." Wenjing suddenly apologized, "I usually speak like this. I want to change it, but I can't change it... No matter what, I still have to thank you, it's true."

"It's okay." Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's my information that is wrong first and lie ahead. Moreover, it's said that they are helping each other, so you don't have to thank me specifically."

Indeed, Cheng Yuan’s meeting with this woman named Wenjing this time was not a common meeting with netizens or a blind date, but just for a very simple but somewhat uncommon purpose - to find a temporary girlfriend to go back to work.

Cheng Yuan is now twenty-seven years old. From the time he came to Shangdong City, he started to study in college until he stayed to work after graduation, he basically stayed in this city to live. In short, he has been in Shangdong for more than seven years.

More than seven years have passed, especially for a young man, that can almost be said to be the most golden years.

Cheng Yuan didn’t know whether gold was gold or not. He only knew that although he lived in an international city of Shangdong City, he was not very proud at all, nor did he make a name for himself or her achievements like the protagonists of those legendary novels. Maybe he finally had a household registration in Shangdong City recently. Simply put, he was an ordinary foreign landing household.

Because of many factors such as work environment, income level, family situation and personality, he has been single since he broke up with his ex-girlfriend the previous year and is a classic single otaku.

It was nothing at all. After all, he had passed the impulse period for so long, or the thirst of a woman was not serious, so he was not very anxious or interested in dating and getting married. Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being single. At least he could be very free and not be sad about his girlfriend's affairs.

But his thinking does not mean that others are the same. Therefore, since last year, he has been nagged by his family about marriage issues and often takes him back to his hometown for blind dates. But when they go back to each other, the pattern of buying cabbage in the vegetable market made him even more annoyed.

Starting last Monday, I don’t know if my mother was in menopause. She called him several times a day, and nagged about marriage in three words, which made him very upset. Then, last weekend, in order to make his mother nag less, he actually lied to the point of being a miserable person and told them not to worry or take him to a blind date. But it’s okay if he didn’t say this, the next day, on Sunday, his mother suddenly came from her hometown, saying that she had to see his girlfriend and check it, otherwise she wouldn’t leave.

There was no choice but to go to a matchmaking center under the guidance of a friend, telling her own requirements, and wanting to find a temporary girlfriend to deal with the situation. Unexpectedly, there was a similar service, and there happened to be a woman who had the same needs as her, and this woman was Wenjing.

This is how I met Wenjing. After chatting with each other through the QQ number of the matchmaking center information, everyone understood that each other's purpose was the same. The other party was unable to bear the family's urging to get married. They planned to find a temporary boyfriend to go home to work. So they hit it off and immediately planned to help each other and deal with the parents of both parties first.

Of course, Cheng Yuan had some doubts before. After all, this was his first time. With the photo of Wen Jing's bare face given by the matchmaking agency, it was quite beautiful. It was said that such a beautiful girl would not have no boyfriend yet after being 26 years old. It is said that she had never been in a relationship before, so she was quite doubtful if she was a liar. If she didn't think she had nothing to cheat, she wouldn't have planned to go.

But now after coming, I looked at the other person's true height, thought about the other person's identity, and the personality he showed shortly after contacting him, after this, I suddenly felt that it was really reasonable that she had been single - at least so did Cheng Yuan.

"By the way, look at the information, are you an IT person?" Wen Jing suddenly asked again.

"Well, it can also be said to be." Cheng Yuan nodded, "But that's a beautiful name that has been modified. In fact, I'm just a coder."

"Codeman? What does it mean?"

"It means that you work for a long time, no fixed holidays, no fixed rest, and not high income. You are just the lowest-level personnel who write programs in mechanically, that is, migrant workers in the IT industry."

"Oh, that's it, you don't have to underestimate yourself. Those IT giants heard that this is how they came here."

"Haha, right?" Cheng Yuan smiled faintly and stopped talking about this question. "By the way, you won't just plan to discuss these with me in the car on the side of the road."

"That's right." Wenjing nodded, "Where will you go next?"

"Ah? What?" Cheng Yuan was stunned.

"I asked where to go next." Wen Jing swept her ears and continued, "At first glance, you are okay. Although it is a bit tidy, at least it is quite pleasing to the eye and honest, so I decided to work with you. So, next, should we find a place to sit down and have a good talk, such as having a deeper understanding of each other, then talking about each other's family details, and then formulating a combat plan for each other's situation?"

"Well, that's what I said." Cheng Yuan nodded, "I really have to find a place to have a good talk."

"Let's do this. Since I chose the time and place of the meeting this time, let you choose the place you want to discuss in detail next time." Wen Jing smiled slightly, "It's always fair, right?"

"Haha." Cheng Yuan smiled indifferently, "Although you said that, I'm honestly not familiar with this nearby."

Speaking of this, he looked around and then continued: "Although I have been in this city for seven years, I usually stay at home, and my daily range of activities is also near my home. I know this place, but I haven't been here much, so it's hard to say if you ask me to choose."

"It doesn't matter. If you are not familiar with this place, you can go to a place you think is familiar with." Wen Jing patted the steering wheel, "Anyway, I'm off work, and I'll give you time, where do you want to go."

"Let's not do it anymore." Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I live in a place with many people, but it's not suitable for a beauties like you. It's better to do this. I remember there is a water restaurant nearby? I heard it was modified by an old cruise ship. I just heard of it before, and I have never been there. Since we are here, why not try it there?"

"Aqua Restaurant? Are you talking about that water palace?"

"Yes, that's it." Cheng Yuan nodded, "I've seen it on group buying."

"This is a good idea." Wenjing nodded, "But today is Friday, and it's already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Usually at this time, the restaurant you mentioned is already overcrowded and can't find a seat at all, and it's not a good place to discuss things. Well, let's do this. If you can trust me, why don't I take you to a place?"

"Oh?" Seeing Wenjing's indifferent expression, Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, "I believe it, of course I can trust it. If the police can't believe it, I really don't know who else can trust it in this city."
