Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 45 Untitled Chapter

But obviously.

Li Wu, who had never gotten the better of Zhou Jinghuai, still remembered the lesson of learning from one's mistakes.

Zhou Jinghuai just glanced at her.

Li Wu immediately restrained himself and dared not act recklessly again.

She pursed her lips and slowly said, "Then maybe I should just go out..."

As Li Wu spoke, she didn't forget to look at Zhou Jinghuai's expression.

Indoors, Zhou Jinghuai wore only a simple white shirt.

The bright, dazzling lights fell on him, softening his usual aloofness when he wore formal attire and adding a touch of refined elegance.

His gaze towards her was calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

But Li Wu was still unconsciously drawn to him, and inexplicably wanted to get closer and closer to him.

But after she tentatively said that sentence...

Zhou Jinghuai stood there, watching her with a leisurely air, showing no intention of saying a word.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Li Wu began to berate herself for saying such a probing question.

But she felt a little embarrassed to stay in bed any longer, so she quietly got up, clutching her script.

I might as well just sleep in her guest room.

But she had only just gotten up.

Zhou Jinghuai looked at her and asked calmly, "Where are you going?"

"..."

Li Wu was a little angry. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Didn't you tell me to go out?"

Did I say that?

Zhou Jinghuai asked in a calm and indifferent tone.

Hear the words.

Li Wu couldn't help but look up, initially wanting to glare at him. That was exactly what he meant, asking how she dared to come to his bed.

But when her eyes met his dark, deep eyes, Li Wu instantly lost her aura.

She murmured, "Why do you always bully me..."

Seemingly finding her reaction amusing, Zhou Jinghuai gave a faint smile and said in a low voice, "Lili, let's be reasonable. I haven't done anything, so how is it bullying you?"

Zhou Jinghuai was very close to her, his cool and elegant aura brushing against her nose almost imperceptibly.

As he spoke, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, exuding an air of ascetic elegance and nobility, yet also revealing a strange and inappropriate sensuality.

Li Wu swallowed hard, then forced herself to look away.

"It's just bullying..."

Li Wu felt like she was being a bit unreasonable.

Li Wu stared straight at Zhou Jinghuai with her beautiful, clear eyes, feeling inexplicably nervous.

As she knelt on the edge of the bed, she subtly pulled her right leg closer together. Her two legs were now pressed lightly together, without the slightest gap.

Hearing the accusation that wasn't really an accusation, her voice was as soft as a cat's meow.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled, a slightly indulgent smile, as if he wouldn't stoop to the level of a child like her. His voice was calm and composed, "You should rest first..."

The words are not finished yet.

Li Wu gently pressed her entire body against him, tilting her head back to kiss his thin lips.

Sometimes, when facing Zhou Jinghuai, Li Wu completely loses control of herself.

Her entire body seemed to be out of her control. She was like a completely different person, yearning to be near Zhou Jinghuai…

When Li Wu suddenly pressed herself against him.

Zhou Jinghuai paused for a moment, then turned his head slightly.

Li Wu's soft lips landed on the corner of his lips.

It happened almost naturally.

Li Wu reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhou Jinghuai's neck, while her other hand slowly began to fumble for the buttons on his shirt.

But the button was custom-made, and Li Wu couldn't undo it with one hand. She tried several times, but it wouldn't budge an inch.

My consciousness was hazy.

Li Wu lowered her head, her soft lips biting the metal button. Completely disregarding the cold touch, her moist lips wanted nothing more than to pry it open.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Jinghuai reached out and grasped Li Wu's fair and delicate chin.

This forced her to look up at her.

The girl's soft lips were glistening with moisture, her cheeks were flushed, and her beautiful, misty eyes were gazing at him with a hint of longing.

Zhou Jinghuai's eyes darkened further.

But his voice was strangely calm, "Lili, who's bullying whom right now?"

Li Wu paused for a moment.

Realizing what she had just done, her face instantly turned bright red. She tried to get off Zhou Jinghuai, but he held her chin so tightly she couldn't move an inch.

She looked up at him, her face slightly embarrassed and flustered.

A thin strap had slipped down to her slender, white arm, teetering on the edge. It revealed a large expanse of fair skin, and the gently undulating, snow-white breasts were fully exposed.

“Zhou Jinghuai…”

As he gazed at her calmly and quietly, Li Wu couldn't help but call his name.

"what happened?"

It was a deep and gentle voice, just like usual, but it reached Li Wu's ears, who was in that state at the time.

Even the slightest hint of tenderness can be amplified countless times in an instant.

Li Wu leaned in to kiss him again, her touch both awkward and bold, kissing his slightly bobbing, sensual Adam's apple. Gentle, soft kisses, little by little…

"Zhou Jinghuai, hug me, okay..." Li Wu couldn't help but tremble as she spoke, wanting his comfort.

Zhou Jinghuai stood tall and elegant by the bed, looking down at the girl who was practically clinging to him.

The silence lasted only a moment.

Zhou Jinghuai lowered his head and sealed her lips with his, easily pressing her completely into the soft blankets.

……

……

When Li Wu woke up the next day, the room was empty; Zhou Jinghuai was no longer there.

Most of the time, Li Wu doesn't see him when she wakes up.

After a while, Li Wu slowly got out of bed.

As she stood up, the soft silk quilt slid down, revealing large patches of mottled skin.

Before Li Wu could look down, her gaze inadvertently swept across the floor-to-ceiling window.

His gaze suddenly froze.

then.

Uncontrollably, I recalled the most memorable scene from last night—

She was leaning against the French windows.

Not even an inch of hair.

……

……

Through her blurry, watery vision, she seemed to sway like the stars visible through the panoramic glass, almost at eye level.

The only thing she wore was a silver waist chain that trailed on the ground.

The ground was soaked and damp.

Mind this.

Li Wu barely dared to look directly at the floor-to-ceiling window, and hurriedly got out of bed to wash up with a flushed face.

……

At the end of April, Shen Yichen's drama "Dream Returns to Dust" wrapped up filming.

Li Wu's final scene was also the last scene filmed for the crew.

after the end.

Shen Yichen booked a wrap party at the Jinghua Hotel in advance and invited the entire crew to attend.

Li Wu was the last to finish filming. She had to remove her makeup, take off her hairpins and hair buns, and change out of her elaborate costume. By the time she was completely ready, most of the crew had already left.

Shen Yichen originally intended to wait for her to come together.

But Li Wu thought that he was the director, and most of the crew had already gone. It wouldn't be appropriate to have Shen Yichen stay and wait for her, so Li Wu told him to go first.

The car was waiting outside the film set.

After Li Wu went out, just as she was about to get into the car, she saw Wen Zhiyuan, who played the male lead in the drama, standing alone under a big tree not far away.

In this drama, Wen Zhiyuan taught her a lot.

Occasionally, when she couldn't keep up with the scene, he would gently guide her, telling her the emotional climax and how to build up to it, and suggesting she try different acting styles. Then he would gently comfort her, saying, "Let's do it again."

Think so.

Li Wu walked directly towards Wen Zhiyuan. "Senior Wen, haven't you gone to the hotel yet?"

"Li Wu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Zhiyuan turned around and looked over.

"My car had a problem a couple of days ago, so I took it to get it repaired."

Wen Zhiyuan explained, "I just picked it up today, and there should be traffic on the road right now. My assistant will be arriving a little later."

At this time of day, it's roughly the peak travel period after get off work.

There was a pause.

Li Wu suggested, "Senior Wen, why don't you ride in my car? I'm going to the hotel anyway, it's on my way."
