Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 47 I brought you something

……

Li Wu in his leisure time.

She'd rather do a couple more practice problems or read a few more books than spend her time browsing news online that has little to do with her.

So it was her manager, Sister Xin, who reminded her that she and Wen Zhiyuan were trending on social media.

Wen Zhiyuan was already a national heartthrob, and then he starred in another hit drama during the winter break, "The World's Finest." As a result, his every move is under intense scrutiny online.

【Lili, look at the last GIF.】

Li Wu saw the message Xin Jie sent her. It also included a GIF and a video link.

When Li Wu clicked on it, she saw deliberately edited GIFs and videos.

I was afraid Sister Xin would misunderstand.

Li Wu made a voice call to her and explained the whole process.

"...It was just that I had something on my head, and Senior Wen helped me take it off."

After listening.

Sister Xin comforted her, "That's how some media outlets are these days. They shoot some seemingly plausible but actually false things, then take them out of context and embellish them to create eye-catching gimmicks and earn more traffic."

"Then how can I clarify this?" Li Wu asked.

"clarify?"

Sister Xin was surprised, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "Goodness, do you know that this is the first time in all these years since Actor Wen has been involved in a scandal?"

"They're so much more famous than us, it's not unreasonable for us to ride their coattails a little bit of their popularity, and it'll also help promote our new drama."

“…Isn’t this bad?”

Li Wu felt a little uncomfortable. "You said it yourself, Actor Wen is so much more famous than me. Maybe he doesn't want to be associated with me at all, and would rather I stay far away from him and never get involved with him."

"Uh……"

Xin Jie was skeptical of what Li Wu said, "I think Actor Wen took good care of you on set, and he even brought you desserts occasionally."

"That's because they don't eat in order to maintain their figure, so in the end I have to eat it all by myself."

Sister Xin, "..."

This kind of physique that allows you to eat whatever you want without gaining weight is truly enviable.

"Then I'll go contact Actor Wen's agent."

After a pause, Sister Xin spoke up, "Let's see if Actor Wen can post a clarification on Weibo. After all, he still has quite a lot of influence... sigh?"

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Xin noticed something even more surprising: "Lili, it seems like the trending topic about you and Actor Wen has been removed?"

Hear the words.

Li Wu also clicked on the video link that Sister Xin had just sent her, but the page was completely blank.

It was playing normally just a few minutes ago.

"...Perhaps it was Wen Yingdi's side that had someone remove the trending topic?" Li Wu guessed.

"That should be it..."

But after Sister Xin hung up the phone...

It turns out that it wasn't just the trending topics that were removed.

All entries and topics related to Li Wu and Wen Zhiyuan have been completely deleted.

Not even a single comment was left.

If Wen Yingdi and his team are willing to spend a lot of money, they could probably do it too. But to completely remove all the related entries in such a short time is absolutely impossible.

Xin Jie stared at the blank search page on her phone, seemingly lost in thought.

……

That day, Li Wu received a last-minute notice, and by the time she got back, it was already very late.

But I didn't expect it.

Zhou Jinghuai has not returned yet.

After taking a shower, Li Wu was originally going to wait for Zhou Jinghuai. But during that time, she must have been too tired from filming, because she unconsciously fell asleep leaning against the sofa.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In a daze, she felt her body lighten, as if she were weightless, and Li Wu was so frightened that she opened her eyes instantly.

Look up.

Then I met those deep, dark eyes.

"you are back?"

Realizing that the person holding her was Zhou Jinghuai, Li Wu naturally reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She always had an inexplicable dependence on him.

"Didn't you say you didn't need to wait for me?"

Seeing that she was awake, Zhou Jinghuai abandoned his idea of carrying her back to the bedroom and instead sat down on the sofa with her in his arms.

Li Wu smiled, still trying to save face, "I just leaned against the sofa and accidentally fell asleep."

As she spoke, Li Wu looked at Zhou Jinghuai, wondering if it was just her imagination. His eyes, however, remained as deep and dark as an inky sea, just as they always had.

But inexplicable.

Li Wu felt a slight chill in his gaze as it fell on her face.

But it was all over in an instant.

The expression in Zhou Jinghuai's eyes returned to normal.

It seemed as if what Li Wu had just seen was merely her illusion.

Zhou Jinghuai's broad, warm palm could almost cover her entire slender, soft waist. "You've eaten so much, how come you're still not gaining weight?" On the contrary, you've gotten even thinner.

Li Wu's body trembled slightly reflexively, and she didn't forget to defend herself, "Actually, I didn't eat that much..."

"And I exercise every day, so I burn a lot of calories."

The large apartment has a gym, where Zhou Jinghuai goes every morning to work out. With his permission, Li Wu also goes there to exercise in her spare time.

"Yeah."

Zhou Jinghuai said calmly.

These were originally just two ordinary words, but when Li Wu looked up and met the man's dark eyes that held a faint smile, she was deeply moved.

There was a slight delay.

Li Wu's breathing became slightly erratic.

"Why would I...why would I lie to you..."

Li Wu felt a little embarrassed, in a way that was hard to explain.

What is she thinking about all day long?!
But then, Zhou Jinghuai asked a question in a very casual tone, without any haste.

Are you sure you exercise every day?

In an instant, Li Wu's face turned completely red, like a ripe peach. She lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into nowhere.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled, but then continued to ask her, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"..."

Li Wu blushed and hurriedly tried to get up from Zhou Jinghuai. "It's getting late, I... I need to go and rest."

The last note fades.

Zhou Jinghuai's hand, which was resting on her waist, tightened slightly.

Li Wu, who had just climbed off him, suddenly went limp against him again.

The man's chest was broad and firm. Li Wu's delicate nose suddenly bumped into it, almost bringing tears to her eyes.

"What are you doing...?"

When a girl complains in a soft, gentle tone, it sounds more like she's being coquettish. Each soft sound resonates deep within one's heart.

Zhou Jinghuai looked at her.

She was only wearing a white nightgown at home, and her exposed skin was excessively pale, even paler than the white dress she was wearing.

Her pretty, delicate face still held a hint of youthful innocence. Her eyes, however, were beautiful and clear, and she looked at him with a hint of grievance, as if she were hesitant to speak.

Like a newborn fawn.

Timid.

Zhou Jinghuai's gaze was calm and profound.

Li Wu looked up with a hint of grievance, and her breath hitched slightly when she met Zhou Jinghuai's gaze.

I stared at it for a few seconds.

Just as Li Wu thought he was going to do something, she saw Zhou Jinghuai pat her lightly, signaling her to get up.

"I brought you something."

This is also the time.

Li Wu then noticed a black briefcase with a combination lock on the marble coffee table behind her.

Under the bright light, the metal layer on the combination lock box reflected a dazzling array of luxurious light and shadow.

"...What is it?"

Li Wu turned to look at Zhou Jinghuai and asked in a low voice.
