Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 83 I'm Looking for You

……

But after leaving the private room.

Li Wu had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped.

Not far away, a man dressed in black stood there.

He was tall and upright, as silent as an ancient pine tree.

It almost blends into the night.

It's like they're waiting for someone.

Just as Li Wu was hesitating whether to greet him, Xu Xiling strode towards her.

"Zhou Jinghuai and the others are inside."

As Xu Xiling approached, Li Wu immediately spoke up.

Li Wu thought he had come to see Zhou Jinghuai.

"Not looking for him."

Xu Xiling's unfathomable gaze lingered for a moment in Li Wu's eyes before he spoke in a deep voice, "I'm looking for you."

He must have been standing outside for quite a while, because Xu Xiling's usually deep and calm voice had taken on a warm tone, as if it had finally gained some temperature.

"Find me?"

Li Wu looked at him with some confusion.

Congratulations on getting into university.

Xu Xiling said in a deep voice, "Still the top scholar."

Li Wu was very happy to have done so well on the exam. She smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Wu's beauty is stunning at first glance, a pure and beautiful quality that can captivate all. Her allure is even stronger when she smiles.

Especially her beautiful, clear eyes, coupled with her naturally pale, snow-white skin, made her appear even more porcelain-white and translucent under the dim light, giving her a pure and innocent beauty.

Xu Xiling's hand, which was in his pocket, twitched slightly, but in the end he didn't take it out. He simply asked, "Has the school decided?"

"H University."

The best medical school in the country.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiling gave a low hum, "Very good."

I don't know if they're talking about the school or about Liwu.

Done.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

I traveled over 3,000 kilometers overnight, and it seemed that all I could do was congratulate her.

Xu Xiling was tall and imposing, and almost half of Li Wu's figure was hidden beneath him.

Finally, Li Wu spoke first, "Do you want to come in with me?"

Xu Xiling's gaze fell into her pure eyes. After a pause, he spoke gently, "No need."

"I have a mission to complete and need to leave immediately."

Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Li Wu roughly knew that for people like them, the mission was the most important thing.

Feeling a deep sense of respect, Li Wu hurriedly said, "Then you should go quickly, don't delay your important business."

After a pause, Li Wu couldn't help but add, "Be careful."

These few simple words have been said to him by many people.

But when he heard Li Wu say that, Xu Xiling fell silent for a moment.

It seemed as if all the fatigue and exhaustion from the journey had completely vanished at this moment.

Xu Xiling looked up. When he looked at Li Wu, his gaze was always deep and heavy, but it was difficult to discern any emotion in it.

"go in."

Xu Xiling concluded.

……

As Li Wu's figure disappeared from sight.

Xu Xiling stood there for a while. His figure was backlit, and his eyes were lost in darkness.

……

After that day, Zhou Jinghuai hosted a banquet for the leaders of H University and also donated two buildings to H University.

That was the first time Li Wu had ever seen Zhou Jinghuai drink like that.

Normally, Zhou Jinghuai neither smokes nor drinks.

not to mention.

Given his status, whether or not someone drinks at any gathering is simply a matter of whether he's giving them face. But that day, he unusually toasted someone.

The person being honored immediately stood up in fear and unease.

But as Li Wu watched the dinner, a wave of indescribable emotions welled up inside her.

When they returned, it was Li Wu who helped Zhou Jinghuai into the house.

Li Wu fed him spoonful by spoonful of the hangover soup that Aunt Wu had prepared.

Seeing Zhou Jinghuai leaning back on the sofa, frowning and looking uncomfortable, Li Wu felt a pang of heartache, but she still couldn't help but snap, "I got in through the normal exam process, why did you have to treat them to dinner...?"

Zhou Jinghuai straightened up slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine." Then, he reached out and grasped Li Wu's slender wrist, pulling her into his arms.

Be careful!

Zhou Jinghuai's actions were so sudden that Li Wu almost spilled the half-bowl of hangover soup in her hand.

Seeing Li Wu so intently protecting the hangover soup in her hand, Zhou Jinghuai slightly curled his lips and reached out to take the hangover soup from her hand.

"Hey, slow down..."

Li Wu looked up at him and hurriedly said.

But just a few seconds after she finished speaking, all that was left was an empty bowl.

"I feel very uncomfortable..."

Li Wu assumed he was drinking so quickly because he wasn't feeling well, and couldn't help but mutter, "Should I call the doctor to come and take a look at you?"

"Is my alcohol tolerance really that bad in your eyes?"

Zhou Jinghuai glanced at Li Wu and said indifferently.

"...Isn't it because you usually only drink tea, coffee, and plain water?" Li Wu said in a low voice, not wanting to be outdone, "You live like an old cadre."

Zhou Jinghuai laughed, seizing on a certain word in her words, and said slowly, "Lili thinks I'm too old?"

The words fell.

Li Wu's clear eyes widened slightly, her face filled with disbelief. "Don't slander me! I didn't say that!"

So far, apart from Zhou Jinghuai, Li Wu has never seen another person with such handsome looks.

"Yeah."

Zhou Jinghuai looked at Li Wu with a smile in his eyes, and then said something slowly and deliberately.

The words are not finished yet.

Li Wu's face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, trying to stop him from continuing. "I think you're really drunk today, you should get some rest!"

Zhou Jinghuai gave a low hum and said casually, "Then I can't satisfy Lili tonight."

Li Wu was taken aback.

Upon realizing what was happening, Li Wu's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

Enraged, she threw herself into Zhou Jinghuai's arms and pounded on him as if she wanted to die with him.

Zhou Jinghuai dodged it instead, and then said in a serious tone, "Even throwing myself into your arms is not allowed."

Li Wu, "..."

How can he say the most inappropriate things in such a serious manner!

Looking at Li Wu's angry face.

Zhou Jinghuai spoke calmly and gracefully, a smile in his eyes, and then said something in a measured and unhurried manner—

"If Lili insists on taking the initiative, I can reluctantly accept it."
