Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 97 I Only Love You

Around dusk, Shen Guining sent Qu Yanci a message: "Mr. Qu, I won an award!"

He replied two hours later: "Yes, I told you you could."

I figured he must be very busy, so I didn't bother him anymore.

The news of her award was announced online, and many friends sent her congratulations.

Shen Guining first called Teacher Xue to express her gratitude, and only replied to her friend's message after she had some free time.

The person happiest for her was Zhu Sixuan: [Congratulations to my superstar Ning Bao! From now on, I'm going to cling to your coattails!]

Shen Guining replied with a "hug me" emoji.

Zhu Sixuan: [So you'll be part of the National Classical Dance Company from now on?]

Shen Guining: [I haven't signed yet; I'll have to wait until after graduation.]

Zhu Sixuan: [That's perfect, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Just stay in Beijing.]

Shen Guining smiled; she hadn't expected to win an award at first.

If she hadn't joined the National Dance Company, she would most likely have chosen to stay on Hong Kong Island.

Although the Shen family is not worth missing, the place where she lived for more than 20 years, her social circle and friends are all in Hong Kong Island.

I always felt a little lacking in a sense of belonging in Beijing.

Moreover, she knew perfectly well the gap between herself and Qu Yanci, so how could she dare to dream of a long-term relationship with him?

Behind him was an insurmountable barrier.

Perhaps because she was too tired from the competition during the day, Shen Guining felt sleepy at ten o'clock, but Qu Yanci had not returned yet, so she made a phone call to inquire.

I wanted to wait for him, but I eventually succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep.

In my sleep, I was vaguely awakened by a kiss. A familiar scent entered my mouth, mixed with a slightly astringent and mellow taste of alcohol.

She sobbed and was forced to open her eyes.

Before me was a man's bare chest, still damp with water droplets.

Under the dim light, her muscles were clearly defined, and a strong masculine aura enveloped her.

Shen Guining, still half-asleep, mumbled, "You're back..."

"Ah."

Qu Yanci braced himself with one hand on her side and used the other to unbutton her nightgown.

The clothes were quickly thrown off the bed and left on the floor.

The warm palms caressed every inch of skin, smooth and delicate.

Shen Guining was about 70-80% awake and her body was sensitive. She was aroused by his teasing and subconsciously hugged his neck in response.

Qu Yanci held her waist tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

His arm muscles were bulging, and he was incredibly strong.

Shen Guining felt that his kiss was very deep and the movements were very intense.

His hoarse voice whispered in my ear, "Who kissed you?"

The hot breath entered her ear, and Shen Guining trembled, murmuring, "...It's you."

Qu Yanci pinched her chin and continued to ask, "Who am I?"

"Qu Yanci..."

"He said he likes me."

I like you...

"Say it completely," he suddenly said mischievously.

Shen Guining almost burst into tears, her eyes red-rimmed. "I...I like...Qu Yanci..."

Qu Yanci locked his gaze on her, his right hand slipping between her fingers. "Say it again, you only love me."

Shen Guining's palms were sweaty, and a surge of heat coursed through his body. "I only love you... Aci..."

Qu Yanci lowered his head and kissed her lips again, "Did you miss me?"

Shen Guining's voice was sticky, "I want to..."

Qu Yanci kissed her fiercely and pulled her into his arms.

In the end, she kept shouting "No!" but he wouldn't listen and showed no sign of stopping.
-
Shen Guining had never been so tired. Her whole body ached, and she fell asleep leaning against a broad chest.

In the middle of the night, she woke up once, her left leg still draped over him.

Sensing something was wrong, she opened her eyes wide, "You..."

Qu Yanci hadn't slept. He had his arms around her and his voice was low and hoarse. "Hold me for a while, then you can go back to sleep."

Shen Guining was about to cry.

Who sleeps like that?

Qu Yanci gently stroked her back, patiently coaxing her to sleep. At this moment, a strong possessiveness was revealed in his deep brown pupils.

Shen Guining slept for a long time and woke up at noon.

The curtains couldn't block out the light, leaving the room in a dimly lit space.

She paused for two minutes, her thoughts gradually clearing, and her cheeks flushed.

She looked refreshed, wearing a silk slip dress.

She threw off the covers and got out of bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her thighs ached. She gasped for breath and collapsed back onto the bed.

The door just opened.

Qu Yanci strode in, walked up to her, and squatted down. "Does it still hurt?"

He raised his hand and parted her knees. "Let me see."

Shen Guining shyly dodged away, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little sore."

Qu Yanci reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. "Be good, let me take a look."

Shen Guining bit her lower lip.

In the dim light, their eyes met.

The air warmed as their eyes met.

Qu Yanci's movements were gentle yet unyielding.

Shen Guining gave up and simply buried her face in the blanket.

The duvet cover had been changed, and there was still a faint scent of detergent on it that wafted into my nostrils.

Qu Yanci applied some more medicine to her and carried her to the bathroom to wash up.

After getting ready, we went out for lunch.

Shen Guining sat obediently at the dining table, drinking her soup.

White fungus and lotus seed soup is good for soothing the throat.

She glanced at the man across from her. He was dressed casually today, in a gray shirt and dark casual trousers. It was simple and relaxed, but it didn't diminish his overall charm.

"Aren't you going to the company today?"

"Take a break," Qu Yanci asked her. "Would you like to go out and have some fun this afternoon?"

Shen Guining originally had this plan, but she just trended on social media yesterday, and if she gets photographed, there might be more bad rumors.

Besides, her back and legs were still sore, so she decided to stay home and rest.

Qu Yanci respected her.

After dinner, Shen Guining went to the living room to play with Ruby.

Qu Yanci washed some fruit and placed it on the coffee table.

Shen Guining remembered that the bouquet of flowers from yesterday hadn't been properly arranged yet.

She went to the island counter, found a vase, filled it with water, and took it to the living room to arrange the flowers.

Previously, I just randomly arranged flowers for fun, but last month I learned some flower arranging techniques from Teacher Xue, which I can now put to good use.

Qu Yanci sat on the sofa watching her carefully trim the leaves. "Why do you like roses?"

Shen Guining blurted out, "Because roses are bright and beautiful."

Although some people think roses are tacky, she thinks roses are beautiful in a flamboyant and unrestrained way, and are the most passionate and moving.

Qu Yanci asked in a flat tone, "Just because of that?"

Shen Guining nodded. "Mm."

Qu Yanci stared intently, "Where's that bracelet?"

"Huh?" Shen Guining didn't react for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Which one?"

Qu Yanci looked directly into her eyes, "The one that broke off."

Shen Guining said frankly, "That bracelet is versatile and quite pretty."

Choosing jewelry also depends on first impressions; some things catch your eye at first sight and you'll naturally become fond of them.

Qu Yanci's eyes darkened, "You don't like what I gave you?"

He should ask why that bracelet was important to her.

But then I thought about it and realized that the question was meaningless.

There's no need to bring up the past.

Shen Guining said, "I really like it, but it's too precious. I would be heartbroken if I lost it."

Qu Yanci corrected her, "No matter how valuable it is, it's meant to be worn. If you lose it, you can buy another one."
