Beijing Colors Lingering

Shen Jinsui turned around in response.

It turned out to be Zhou Yancong.

The man's handsome, deep-set face held a half-smile.

After a while, Shen Jinsui replied to him, "It's quite a coincidence that you're here too?"

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, then slowly explained, "My friend is the owner of Huoqing, and I'm here with him today to check on the business."

"Hmm." Shen Jinsui didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Yancong glanced at the sky and suggested, "Miss Shen, are you heading home now? Why don't I take you back to Yujing Garden?"

"No need," Shen Jinsui shook her head.

A faint smile played on Zhou Yancong's lips as he casually said, "It's just on the way. I'm going back to Yujingyuan tonight too."

Just as Shen Jinsui was about to say something, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the dark sky, interrupting her.

Summer weather in Beijing is unpredictable, with sudden showers.

She couldn't help but glance ahead; sparse raindrops were about to fall, and a damp smell gradually wafted towards her.

Zhou Yancong glanced at the sky, smiled, and said calmly, "It's about to rain, Miss Shen, you don't need to refuse anymore."

Shen Jinsui did not refuse again, and replied with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all," Zhou Yancong said calmly.

His appearance at the "Bewitching Love" club tonight was no coincidence.

The "Bewitching Love" club has two shareholders, the Xu family and the Qi family. Xu Tingzhou happened to be here today to check on the business operations. He saw Shen Jinsui by chance and immediately sent a message to Zhou Yancong, which is why he came here.

Then, the driver opened the back door, and Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong got into the car together.

After getting on the bus, Shen Jinsui sent a text message to Uncle Zhang, telling him to go home first.

After each time Uncle Zhang dropped her off at her destination, he would wait for her nearby to ensure her safety.

At that time, on the wide road, the black Rolls-Royce drove smoothly in the drizzling rain.

The car's headlights cast a beam of light, piercing through the hazy silver rain curtain and illuminating the irregular traces of water droplets sliding down.

After a while, the rain intensified, the raindrops quickly became dense, and then a torrential downpour began.

In an instant, the entire city was enveloped in a torrential downpour, with raindrops like shattered jade striking the car windows one by one.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, but inside the car, it was completely quiet. The partition in the middle had already been raised, and Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong sat silently in the back seat.

A moment later, Zhou Yancong asked casually, his voice low, languid, and magnetic: "Miss Shen, are the male models in 'Bewitching Love' good-looking?"

Shen Jinsui was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this, not expecting Zhou Yancong to ask her such a question.

After thinking for a moment, she replied truthfully, "Hmm, not bad."

Zhou Yancong stroked the jade thumb ring on his thumb and smiled silently: "Miss Shen is in quite a good mood."

Zhou Yancong's expression remained calm, but his heart was inexplicably stirred.

How good-looking are the male models in "Bewitching Love"?

How could anyone possibly be better than him?

Zhou Yancong pondered for a moment. In terms of appearance, height, family background, and personal abilities, those male models were far inferior to him and could not be compared with him at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yancong's heart gradually calmed down.

Shen Jinsui found his words somewhat inexplicable. She glanced at the man beside her and, as if possessed, said, "Mr. Zhou, then I'll invite you next time I go to Huoqing. It'll be my treat."

Zhou Yancong raised his eyelids slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and replied in a deep voice, "Mm."

Shen Jinsui: "..."

She was just saying it casually; there's no need to take it seriously.

Zhou Yancong turned to look at her, his tone sincere and gentle: "Shen Jinsui, we are friends now, why don't you just call me by my name from now on?"

“Okay,” Shen Jinsui readily agreed.

Actually, she also felt that addressing her as Miss Shen or Mr. Zhou was indeed too polite.

Yujingyuan has recreational facilities such as a gym, indoor golf course, tennis court, and shooting club.

During her time off, Shen Jinsui would occasionally go to the gym and would sometimes run into Zhou Yancong.

Zhou Yancong sometimes chats with her on WeChat, and they are indeed friends now.

When the car arrived at Yujingyuan, the weather was still stormy, with the sky a deep, inky black, and the fleeting glimpses of the bustling night scene blurred by the torrential rain.

Zhou Yancong glanced out the car window, his deep, cold voice slowly rising: "Shall we sit in the car for a while and get out after the rain subsides?"

Shen Jinsui stared at the torrential rain outside the car window, estimating that it would take some time for it to subside, so she nodded in agreement with his suggestion.

She then took out her phone from her bag, unlocked it, and opened her Weibo account.

She is currently drawing a comic adapted from a web novel. The novel itself has a certain popularity and a fan base. Since the official Weibo account announced that she was the lead artist, her number of fans has gradually increased, and she has received more comments and private messages.

Zhou Yancong's gaze slowly swept over Shen Jinsui's phone screen. Ye Jinwen's girlfriend, Jiang Yining, had recently told him that Shen Jinsui's academic performance during his university years was almost always ranked first.

Zhou Yancong thought of the paintings she posted on her account, which, from a layman's perspective, were stunning and outstanding works of art.

A dozen minutes later, Shen Jinsui turned off her phone, glanced out the window, and saw that the heavy rain had subsided. She then said to Zhou Yancong, "The rain has lessened now, we can get out of the car."

"Hmm." Zhou Yancong pressed a button next to him, and the partition slowly rose. Then he gestured for the driver to get out of the car.

Immediately afterwards, the driver opened the door and got out of the car, holding an umbrella in one hand and opening the back door, then waited quietly to the side, still holding an umbrella in his other hand.

As soon as Shen Jinsui got out of the car, she suddenly felt a light suit jacket draped over her shoulders, and the cool scent of cedar instantly filled all her senses.

She looked up at Zhou Yancong with a puzzled expression, then chuckled softly, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Zhou Yancong, it's summer now."

Zhou Yancong explained to her in a soft and gentle voice, "Even in summer, it's easy to catch a cold if your clothes get wet in the rain."

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting him to be so thoughtful, and then smiled and replied, "Yes, thank you."

The driver then opened another umbrella and handed it to Zhou Yancong.

Zhou Yancong took the umbrella from the driver. His hand holding the handle had distinct knuckles, and his strong, powerful wrist bones were prominent and sexy.

Upon seeing this, the driver consciously stepped aside.

Shen Jinsui looked up and couldn't help but ask him, "Don't you have any extra umbrellas?"

Zhou Yancong remained calm and composed, replying with a composed "Mm".

Shen Jinsui snorted inwardly. She didn't believe it, but she was too lazy to dwell on the issue.

The two had only taken a few steps when the rain intensified and the wind howled.

Soon, the rain poured down, falling on the ground and creating ripples.
