She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 347 I dreamt that she never came back.
Shen Manzhi drove back to the city alone at one o'clock in the morning. He passed through Jingwei and had a momentary thought of staying there for the night, but then he remembered that there were still people at home, so he drove all the way to Lanwan Parking Lot.

She sat in the car with the window slightly lowered for some fresh air, her gaze fixed on the bulletproof window as she didn't rush to get in. Ares was worried and insisted that she drive the Range Rover Sentinel back.

She has no one else around her except Baihu now, so it would be much easier for someone to set a trap for her, provided she is willing.

Based on the current situation, this overseas organization is very likely carrying out the mutation experiment project that Delson conducted two years ago. After the laboratory explosion, besides her surviving, there were also failed experimental subjects. This organization obtained this experimental subject through some means and used him to infect other living subjects.

Delson's experiments proved that Shen Manzhi, the only Chinese person among them, survived after being injected with the mutated virus and anti-mutant serum, and has remained in a normal state ever since. Although it was accidental, it was enough to spur them to take the risk of conducting illegal experiments in China.

But after Delson's lab exploded, all the relevant data was destroyed, and even Delson didn't have the data to replicate the serum samples from that time. So why did this organization know so much about the entire experimental project?

Shen Manzhi raised her hand and furrowed her brow, a very bad premonition creeping over her.

This organization not only knows her situation, but also the details and process of the entire experiment. Could it be that Delson's people leaked the secrets?
Or was Delson also involved?

After all, he always wanted her to return to that cold experimental chamber, to be a living experimental subject still under his control.

Thinking of this, Shen Manzhi felt a thin layer of cold sweat break out on her back, and her eyes turned cold and deep.

Taking great risks to commit illegal acts benefits far more than just one party.

The parking lot was too quiet. Shen Manzhi pulled herself out of her thoughts and let her mind wander for a while before getting out of the car and walking towards the elevator.

Actually, she could have ignored this matter. Over the years, countless people had tried to kill her, and she had dealt with them alone, like a cat playing with a mouse, which had provided some enjoyment to her otherwise dull life.

But they deliberately brought trouble to China, even provoking her right in front of her.

Shen Manzhi slowly walked out of the elevator, thinking casually that these could be handled by Si Ming as a public security incident, and their project plans in China could be secretly eliminated in the end.

If you really want to know why she wants to completely expose this organization...

She entered the door code, the electronic screen lit up, and a faint light from inside shone through the half-open door, entering her eyes and seemingly soothing her lonely soul in the dead of night.

She already has someone waiting for her.

Shen Manzhi lowered her eyes, curled her lips, and gently closed the door behind her.

Qin Yanfeng left the living room light on for her and also left a crack in the bedroom.

Shen Manzhi stood by the cupboard, feeling a chill, as she poured herself a drink of water.

Tomorrow is the Little New Year.

Around this time last year, she went back to the Qin family's old house with Qin Yanfeng, and it seems that it was around that time that they started to grow closer and closer.

After that, he confessed his feelings and they spent some time together. She left after the Lantern Festival. Later, she returned to China and their paths crossed again... This happened several times. Every time she left, he felt like he had lost half his life.

A bitter and somber aura emanated from Shen Manzhi's lowered eyes.

Hopefully this is the last time.

She heard a sound coming from the bedroom and turned around to hide her emotions.

Qin Yanfeng came out wearing dark blue pajamas, clearly having just woken up, but the bloodshot eyes showed that he hadn't slept well.

She put down her water glass and walked over, her voice gentle, "Did I wake you up?"

Qin Yanfeng shook his head, took her hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You woke up from a dream... Why is it so cold?"

His body was warm, and his large hands enveloped hers, transferring warmth. He then frowned as he looked at her sweatshirt, saying, "You're wearing something too thin."

Actually, someone gave her a warm coat on the way, but she had just sat in the parking lot for a while and was exposed to the wind, so she got cold again.

She felt a pang of tenderness and wanted to hug the person in front of her, but since she hadn't showered or changed her clothes, she forced herself to hold back. "You go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower."

Qin Yanfeng naturally noticed this. He reached out to touch her waist and tried to pull her into his arms, but Shen Manzhi stopped him and pushed him away.

His hand froze in mid-air as he looked at her, somewhat puzzled.

Shen Manzhi suppressed a laugh, "I haven't taken a shower."

Putting aside the fact that he was clean, she had spent the whole day outside and had been to that kind of place, so she didn't want to let her scent or smell taint him.

Qin Yanfeng walked towards her, cupped her face, and said, "That's perfect, I'll help you wash again."

...How shameless.

Shen Manzhi smiled and saw the dark circles under his eyes up close, so she pulled him back to the room, saying, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."

Qin Yanfeng regained some of his senses, warmed her hand slightly, and released it. He watched as she took her pajamas into the bathroom and closed the door. He followed her and sat on the sofa in the living room. Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, he leaned back, relaxing his tense emotions, and gently rubbed his eyelids with his knuckles.

I had a nightmare that she never came back.

Shen Manzhi spent some time washing her hair and taking a shower. Thinking that Qin Yanfeng was asleep, she lowered her voice, but when she opened the door, she saw someone sleeping with their eyes closed on the living room sofa.

She grabbed a blanket and covered him with it, then turned back to the bathroom, closed the door, quickly dried her hair, and then woke him up, saying, "Go back to your room and sleep."

Qin Yanfeng half-opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him. "Finished washing?"

Shen Manzhi responded and bent down to pull him, "Have you been very tired lately?"

"It's alright," Qin Yanfeng stood up and brushed her long hair aside. "Why isn't it dry?"

“That’s about it,” Shen Manzhi couldn’t resist him and was pulled in to blow it again. Looking at the two of them snuggling together in the mirror, she commented, “You look like you’re taking care of a child.”

Qin Yanfeng's technique was as gentle as ever, and his tone was indifferent, "You're not as obedient as a child."

The things they said were just as infuriating.

"Oh, so you like people who are obedient?"

"I like men who are obedient in bed."

"..."

Shen Manzhi couldn't explain anything to him.

"Alright," Qin Yanfeng put away the hairdryer, pulled her into his arms, turned around, and kissed her. "Now you can sleep."

Shen Manzhi wrapped her arms around his neck and was carried out back to the bedroom.

The central air conditioning kept the temperature constant, and the bed was still very warm. Qin Yanfeng held Shen Manzhi in his arms and kissed her for a while longer. "Go to sleep."

It was already two in the morning, but Shen Manzhi was not sleepy at all. She turned over in Qin Yanfeng's arms and, by the dim moonlight from the window, traced his outline stroke by stroke.

It seemed like the first time she had ever seen him so exhausted from work.

I'm so busy, I definitely won't be able to get away tomorrow either.

Shen Manzhi reached out to touch his lips, leaned in and kissed him, then looked at him for a long time before turning over and getting up to get out of bed.

The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, pulling her into his embrace again. She turned to look, but the person was still asleep, his hand slipping inside his pajamas and resting naturally in front of her.

"Qin Yanfeng?"

A low mutter came from above, "Hmm."

She turned over to face him. "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Qin Yanfeng closed his eyes, followed her voice, lowered his head and nuzzled her soft face, "Mmm."

Forget it.

Shen Manzhi was almost suffocating from his embrace, so she pushed him away a little, which woke him up a bit.

"what happened?"

She said helplessly, "Why are you hugging me so tightly? I can't run away."

Qin Yanfeng still held her close, but his grip loosened.

He turned his head and rested it against the crook of her neck. "If you run away, you have to tell me."

Shen Manzhi blinked but didn't say anything.

After a while, there was no sound. Shen Manzhi thought he had fallen asleep again, but then she heard a sleepy voice in her ear, "You asked me if I'm busy tomorrow. Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing," Shen Manzhi said casually, looking at his closed eyes. "There's an event at the tea house tomorrow night. If you're not busy, you can go check it out."

"I probably can't go. I have to meet some people tomorrow, and it might be very late."

Shen Manzhi was also feeling sleepy, her eyes were moist, she leaned against his arm and said in a low voice, "Yeah, it's okay."

The breathing in his arms gradually became steady. Qin Yanfeng opened his eyes, looked at her for a while, and then lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
