Print line in serial monitor of Arduino

Question

I got a very simple code to run on Arduino. The problem is that when I run the code and open the Serial Monitor then first it shows "Ple" and then adds "Please enter inputs:" which at the end I get "PlePlease enter inputs:" How can I get rid of the "Ple" or make Serial Monitor not to print before I open it.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  Serial.print("Please enter inputs:\n");
  while(true);
}

Try to open the serial monitor with the shortcut (ctrl+shift+m). It triggers the reset and restarts your program. I don't know why this happens only using the shortcut. Hope this helps.
