Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 53 Don't Bother Me
then.

Shen Yichen looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you have to tell him about everything, big or small, first?"

Although Shen Yichen didn't say it explicitly, Li Wu knew who he was talking about in an instant.

Li Wu didn't think much of it at the time.

When Shen Yichen asked, she replied, "...usually."

Actually, she was quite willing to tell Zhou Jinghuai about things related to herself, no matter how big or small, she wanted to tell him everything.

Moreover, Zhou Jinghuai never showed any impatience when she spoke.

of course.

It's also possible that Zhou Jinghuai usually maintains a calm and composed demeanor, and even if he is impatient, she might not have noticed.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's gaze lingered slightly on Li Wu.

He had seen people reprimanded by Zhou Jinghuai for failing to get to the point in just a few sentences.

It's really hard to imagine—

What would it be like for someone like him to patiently listen to people talk about all sorts of trivial matters, big and small?

……

I went back that evening.

Li Wu then told Zhou Jinghuai about Shen Yichen's intention to collaborate again.

At the time, she was wearing a bunny pajama that Zhou Jinghuai had chosen for her.

After hearing what she said.

Zhou Jinghuai was still playing with her long tail, his tone casual and nonchalant, "It's up to you."

"Cooperate if you like it, don't cooperate if you don't."

The rabbit's tail was designed illogically; it was thick and long, almost dragging on the ground when it stood up.

He tugged at her lightly, then again.

But rather.

He performed these movements with a calm and unhurried demeanor.

His fingers, with their distinct joints and slender, jade-like shape, were like works of art. It seemed that whatever he did with those hands, it was always extremely pleasing to the eye.

He gently played with her tail, and Li Wu's face flushed slightly as she suppressed the shyness in her heart.

To make his facial expressions and tone of voice appear normal, he even put on an acting performance.

She looked up at him and asked softly, "Director Shen is your friend, so what if... I mean, what if we don't cooperate? Wouldn't that be a bit awkward?"

The words fell.

Zhou Jinghuai paused slightly as he played with her tail.

He looked down at the girl sitting in his lap. When she looked up at him, her pupils seemed to be filled with tiny starlight, clean and bright.

A hint of admiration and piety could be faintly seen.

It was only for a moment.

Zhou Jinghuai subconsciously tugged at her tail again.

He rarely came this close to losing control.

"what is this."

Zhou Jinghuai said calmly, "He won't care, and you don't need to care either."

The voice just fell.

Li Wu felt as if a gust of wind had gotten into her lower back. Immediately afterward, a warm sensation touched her skin.

Li Wu was about to speak, but it was too late.

The long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles suddenly stopped when they touched the slightly raised part of the lace trim.

"I was just about to tell you..."

Li Wu looked up at Zhou Jinghuai, a smile spreading across her fair and snow-white face. "I'm not available today."

"..."

After a pause, Zhou Jinghuai withdrew his hand and gently patted her cheek. "Did you do that on purpose?"

It just so happens that they only bring it up now.

He used the finger that had touched that spot to touch her face.

Li Wu was disgusted and laughed as she avoided him when he came near.

Her soft tone was both innocent and self-righteous: "Who would have thought you would suddenly touch there? I didn't even have time to say anything."

Wearing bunny pajamas, she smiled and moved around, truly looking like a lively little bunny.

Zhou Jinghuai looked at her.

They remained silent for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Li Wu's smile faded slightly. She leaned closer, tilted her head back, and kissed the corner of his lips, her eyes sparkling, and asked in a very soft, breathy voice, "Are you angry?" "It's not something I can control."

"..."

Zhou Jinghuai reached out and pinched her cheek, finding it delicate and soft, and said calmly, "It's not that bad."

Li Wu actually really liked Zhou Jinghuai touching her.

He gave her a very subtle feeling, like still but deep water. But whenever she was enveloped by him, Li Wu could always feel a warmth.

Li Wu smiled and leaned forward to kiss Zhou Jinghuai, but he turned his head away and dodged her.

"Don't bother me."

The sound was clear and light, yet it carried a subtle hint of restlessness.

It's actually quite rare.

This was the first time Li Wu had ever seen him like this.

After a brief moment of silence, Li Wu removed Zhou Jinghuai's hands from her waist. She then climbed off him and knelt down.

"what are you doing?"

Zhou Jinghuai pushed her head away, stopping her from burying it in her hands.

Li Wu knelt on the carpet, her long, soft hair cascading over her shoulders. The skin exposed below her slender neck was excessively pale.

The soft pajamas clung tightly to her skin, revealing the subtle contours of her body.

On her fair, snow-white face, one could faintly glimpse the immaturity of her still-developing features. Her usually beautiful and pure eyes were now filled with a bewildered look.

A vague sense of confusion.

I seem to understand but not understand.

Li Wu's slender, soft little hand still rested on the metal dragon head.

Her face flushed, and she stammered, unable to speak. After a long internal struggle, she finally managed to utter two barely audible words, "I, I..."

Zhou Jinghuai grabbed her hand, pulled her up, and then sat her on his lap.

"No need."

Zhou Jinghuai, with his gentle and dignified demeanor, said calmly, "I'm not that enthusiastic about this matter."

It was only directed at her.

Li Wu buried her face in his chest, feeling a little embarrassed, the blush on her cheeks still lingering.

Some were even slow to realize it, and by then it had burned even redder.

Hearing Zhou Jinghuai's words.

Li Wu nodded.

Afraid that Zhou Jinghuai wouldn't see, she whispered in response, "...I understand."

Li Wu was head over heels in love with him back then, and was willing to do anything for him.

……

When Xu Xiling returned from Tadar, his circle of friends gathered together.

Zhou Jinghuai also took Li Wu with him.

However, at first, it clashed with Li Wu's schedule. She was originally scheduled to have classes all day that day.

Li Wu then said that she would not go.

later.

Xu Xiling seemed to have heard Zhou Jinghuai mention this matter, so he casually said that it didn't matter when they got together, and the meeting was postponed to the next day.

We went to a trendy club that integrates equestrian sports, fitness and leisure, and resort facilities.

Upon hearing that there were equestrian activities inside, Li Wu immediately asked Zhou Jinghuai with great interest, "Can we ride horses?"

Zhou Jinghuai nodded, "There is a riding stable. You can go there and have some fun."

Looking at the sparkling look in Li Wu's eyes.

Zhou Jinghuai suddenly felt that postponing it for a whole day was worth it.

Although it's a trendy club, it's comparable in size to a large resort.

And for some unknown reason, they announced that day that they were not open for business and would only be serving this group of people.

There were probably seven or eight people.

When they arrived, everyone else was already there.

After greeting Zhou Jinghuai, Xu Xiling looked at Li Wu, who was holding his arm.

Today she wore a very demure and gentle white dress. Her long, flowing hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, and her eyes were as clear as a spring.

Her delicate little face seemed to have matured a bit. She was still stunningly beautiful at first glance, but now she had gained a touch more gentleness and preciousness.

"Lili is here too."

When Xu Xiling uttered those two words, it was as natural as if he were just casually commenting on the weather.
