Beijing Colors Lingering

The two gazed at each other for a long time, until the last spark of light completely disappeared into the night.

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, leaned down and stared directly at Shen Jinsui, then asked her slowly, "Shen Jinsui, did you think the two performances tonight were good? Did you like them?"

A man's voice reached Shen Jinsui's ears; its tone was magnetic and pure.

Like the gentle breeze on a summer night, or like the rolling waves in the deep sea, it carries a hint of languor.

The deep, resonant tone trailed off with a faint smile, as if a feather were gently brushing against her heart.

Shen Jinsui pursed her red lips, and after a moment slowly replied, "It looks good, I like it very much."

Zhou Yancong straightened up, his voice clear and gentle: "I'm glad you like it."

By this time, both performances had completely ended, and Zhou Yancong asked her, "Want to go see a movie together later? Or do something else?"

The hotel has a movie theater and various entertainment halls, as well as some outdoor sports facilities, all designed for guests to enjoy their leisure time.

Shen Jinsui shook her head, "I just promised to go to the movies with my colleagues."

While she was at the restaurant, He Xiaoxiao and the others invited her to go to the cinema to watch a movie. She didn't have any plans for the evening, so she agreed.

Zhou Yancong then asked her, "How about we go watch the sunrise together tomorrow morning?"

Shen Jinsui shook her head again, chuckled softly, and said honestly, "It's too early to watch the sunrise; I definitely can't get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yancong asked again, "Tomorrow is a cloudy day, not sunny. Shall we play golf together tomorrow afternoon and then watch the sunset?"

Shen Jinsui blinked her beautiful, lively fox-like eyes, her red lips curving slightly as she stared at him with interest, voicing her doubts: "Zhou Yancong, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I have a private suite here, so I can work online all day tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, a ripple stirred in Shen Jinsui's heart, and a guess began to form in her mind.

Could Zhou Yancong have come to the team-building activity specifically for her?

If that's really the case, there's absolutely no need to delay Zhou Yancong's work.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Jinsui said, "You don't need to worry about me. Just go back to work at the company."

Zhou Yancong said to her earnestly, "I don't have any important work tomorrow."

Hearing Zhou Yancong say this, Shen Jinsui didn't ask any more questions.

Since she had no other plans for tomorrow, she nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Then, the two turned and walked forward.

After seeing He Xiaoxiao and the others in the crowd, Shen Jinsui waved goodbye to Zhou Yancong.

Yu Feng immediately followed Zhou Yancong and asked, "Chairman Zhou, should we have dinner prepared now?"

Zhou Yancong said in a deep voice, "Have someone deliver it to the room after the meeting."

Yu Feng replied, "Yes."

-

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui approach, He Xiaoxiao and the others hurriedly inquired about her relationship with Zhou Yancong.

Ding Jiayi looked like she'd just fallen for someone, and teased in a low voice, "Sui Sui, you and the big boss look like a perfect match."

He Xiaoxiao asked her curiously, "Sui Sui, are you really just friends?"

Yu Qing's tone was gossipy as she quickly said, "Sui Sui, I think the way the big boss looks at you is a bit ambiguous; it's definitely more than just a friend's feeling."

Shen Jinsui smiled helplessly and explained to them simply, "I know Zhou Yancong's mother, and he lives next door to me. We are indeed just friends at the moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them chuckled, giving him an "I know" look.

We're friends now, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Shen Jinsui calmly changed the subject, "Didn't we say we were going to see a movie? Let's go to the movie theater now."

Immediately afterwards, they entered the hotel lobby and took the elevator directly to the movie theater.

They chose a small theater and watched a comedy movie.

After the movie ended, the group returned to their respective rooms.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the top floor, and Shen Jinsui walked outside.

Just as they were about to reach the door of her suite, they heard a noise behind them, like something falling to the ground.

Shen Jinsui turned around in confusion and casually glanced ahead.

Zhou Yancong stood at the door of the room next door, the soft light highlighting his features to make them appear more defined and striking.

The man's flawless face exuded a chilling aura, his eyes, like deep, dark pools, were sharp and piercing, and his whole body emanated a sinister aura that kept strangers at bay.

Several bodyguards in black stood beside him, while a beautiful woman in a hotel employee uniform sat slumped on the ground.

The woman's expression was pained and panicked, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked extremely wretched.

Zhou Yancong lowered his brows and looked down at the woman with no pity in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead object.

Faced with this scene, Shen Jinsui was stunned, and then felt a little surprised.

Zhou Yancong was usually quite easygoing and even gentle in front of her, but this was the first time she had ever seen a man so cold and aloof.

Soon, Shen Jinsui could tell that this was Zhou Yancong's romantic interest, and probably a bad one at that.

However, she wasn't interested in that and turned to walk towards her suite.

At this moment, Zhou Yancong noticed Shen Jinsui's figure, and his originally icy expression suddenly softened.

Seeing that Shen Jinsui was about to return to her room, Zhou Yancong quickly stepped forward, walked to her side, immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, and called out urgently, "Shen Jinsui."

Seeing this, Shen Jinsui turned around, staring at Zhou Yancong with a half-smile, and teased the person in front of her: "Zhou Yancong, aren't you going to deal with your love interests? Why are you blocking my way?"

Fearing she might misunderstand, Zhou Yancong explained gently, "Don't misunderstand, she impersonated a food delivery worker and sneaked into my room, attempting to do something inappropriate to me, but she was thrown out by the bodyguards before she could even touch me."

Shen Jinsui chuckled softly, shrugged, and said casually, "I didn't misunderstand."

Hearing this, Zhou Yancong breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of his expression just now, he asked her with concern, "Were you scared by me?"

Shen Jinsui chuckled and glared at him. "I'm not a porcelain doll, how could I be scared by you? I just felt that you looked a little different from usual just now."

Zhou Yancong's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Shen Jinsui, I have other different sides to me. Would you like to see them in the future?"

Shen Jinsui's bright and clear fox-like eyes curved into a smile, but she did not answer Zhou Yancong's question.

A moment later, her gaze swept over her wrist, which was still being held in the man's large hand.

Shen Jinsui raised her eyes and asked, word by word, "Zhou Yancong, when do you plan to let me go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yancong quickly released her wrist, lowered his gaze, and saw obvious red finger marks on her fair and delicate skin.

Zhou Yancong immediately felt guilty and quickly asked, "I'm sorry, does your wrist hurt a lot?"

Shen Jinsui looked at his slightly flustered appearance and felt a strange sensation. This was a stark contrast to his cold and tyrannical expression just now.

Hmm, for some reason I find him kind of cute.

Shen Jinsui pursed her lips, wanting to tease the man in front of her, and her clear, bell-like voice softened slightly: "Hmm, it does hurt a little."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yancong subconsciously grasped her wrist again, gently rubbing her delicate, soft skin, his voice low and gentle: "I'll have someone call a doctor here right away to apply medicine for you."

Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the man's large, well-defined hand, which was carefully kneading her wrist.

At that time, she was only inches away from him.

After a while, her fair earlobes gradually turned a blush, and she blinked gently.

Shen Jinsui pursed her lips, calmly withdrew her wrist, then moved it around a bit and coughed lightly as if to cover up her words: "No need, it will disappear in a while."

Because her skin is fair, the red marks were quite noticeable, but it wasn't necessary for a doctor to come here specifically to apply medicine to her.

By the time the doctor arrived, the red mark on her wrist had completely disappeared; Zhou Yancong had really made a mountain out of a molehill.
