Beijing Colors Lingering

Shen Jinsui looked around. Apart from a few bodyguards, there was no one else there. She asked Zhou Yancong in confusion, "You can fly a helicopter?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yancong nodded slightly. "Are you afraid of heights?"

Shen Jinsui shook her head slightly, "I've never been afraid of heights."

"Well."

Then, a bodyguard opened the helicopter door, and Zhou Yancong went up first.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yancong leaned forward slightly and extended his palm to Shen Jinsui in an extremely gentlemanly manner, his fingers long and slender like jade, with distinct bones.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic: "I'll help you up."

"Thank you." Shen Jinsui placed her hand in his palm, and felt a slight flutter in her heart upon feeling the warmth of his hand.

The two then fastened their seatbelts and put on noise-canceling earmuffs.

At this moment, Zhou Yancong, sitting in the driver's seat, began to operate the steering wheel buttons, pulled up the control stick, and pressed the takeoff button.

Immediately afterwards, the helicopter's rotors spun rapidly, the propellers roared, and the helicopter took off into the air.

The helicopter's massive rotor shimmered faintly in the afterglow.

Shen Jinsui looked out the window. The clouds drifted slowly, the sun was setting, and the sky was dyed orange-red, colorful and beautiful as a painting.

Shen Jinsui turned to look at Zhou Yancong, who appeared calm and serious at that moment.

His handsome and noble profile was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun streaming through the window, his brow bones high and deep.

"Shen Jinsui, is she pretty?"

Zhou Yancong's thin, beautiful lips parted slightly, his voice deep and slow, as if carried by a gentle breeze past her ear.

Shen Jinsui didn't know if Zhou Yancong was asking about the beautiful scenery or something else.

After a while, she looked at the scenery outside again, and said with her red lips, "Yes, the sunset is beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong's deep eyes curved into a faint smile, and he asked her again, "What about me? Do you think I'm pretty, Shen Jinsui?"

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, each word clearly enunciated, with a slight upward inflection at the end, as if it had a hook.

Shen Jinsui gave a soft hum and did not answer him, her rosy lips curving slightly upwards.

This man is also a bit narcissistic.

As the afterglow faded completely and the stars adorned the night sky, the helicopter successfully landed on the open ground where it had taken off earlier.

Shen Jinsui was helped off the helicopter by Zhou Yancong. The evening breeze was dry, the leaves rustled, and the chirping of cicadas filled the quiet night.

Zhou Yancong spoke slowly, asking the person beside him, "Are you going home tomorrow?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Shen Jinsui replied, "I plan to go back after I wake up in the morning."

Without hesitation, Zhou Yancong said, "Then let's have breakfast together tomorrow, and then I'll take you home?"

Shen Jinsui smiled gently and nodded in reply, "Okay."

-

The next day, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong had breakfast in the restaurant on the top floor.

After they finished breakfast, Shen Jinsui returned to Yujingyuan in his car.

When she arrived at Shen Jinsui's house, she took her suitcase from Zhou Yancong.

She looked up at the man, her voice clear and melodious: "Zhou Yancong, thank you."

"We're friends, so you don't need to thank me anymore."

Shen Jinsui suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Wait here for me, I'll get your suit jacket and return it to you."

Zhou Yancong calmly said, "How about we have dinner together next Saturday? You can return it to me then."

Shen Jinsui thought for a moment. She had no plans for next weekend, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Yancong's lips, and he said in a low voice, "See you next week."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded with a smile.

-

In the afternoon, the grand prize that Shen Jinsui had won was delivered to her villa.

Shen Jinsui stared at the items on the table: a custom-made neck massager worth six figures, a 36-color wooden box set of Schmincke Mussini oil paints (master-level), and a set of Lukas oil paints imported from Germany.

Shen Jinsui already had both of these paint boxes and wasn't particularly interested.

She has always had the habit of going to professional massage parlors regularly, so she has never bought this kind of massage device before.

So, she only took out the neck massager.

Shen Jinsui sat on the sofa, glanced through the instruction manual, pressed the start button, and selected the medium intensity level.

After using it for more than ten minutes, she felt her entire neck was very relaxed, and this gift was quite suitable for her.

-

As the moon hung high above the treetops, Shen Jinsui lay half-reclined on the bed after taking a bath and applying skincare products.

"Ding!"

Shen Jinsui put down her iPad, picked up her phone from the bedside table, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.

It was a message from Zhou Yancong.

Although they had exchanged contact information a long time ago, they rarely chatted on WeChat before.

Zhou Yancong: [Are you busy?]

Shen Jinsui typed a reply to him: 【No, what about you?】

At this moment, in the top-floor office of the Huaheng Group headquarters building.

The man stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire bustling capital city, his eyes as black as ink, gazing silently ahead.

Outside the window, neon lights shimmered and glittered, the night scene like a flowing, colorful river of light.

A moment later, the phone he was holding in his palm vibrated.

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui's reply, Zhou Yancong's tired eyes immediately lit up with a faint smile, and he quickly replied: 【I'm still at the company, just finished work.】

Shen Jinsui paused for a few seconds after seeing the message. So busy even on a Saturday. No wonder he's the big boss of the group, just like her brother.

She immediately typed a reply: 【You must be having a tough time.】

The next second, Zhou Yancong's message appeared on the chat interface: [Yeah, I sometimes work overtime on weekends.]

Shen Jinsui: [Then you should go home and rest early.]

A dozen seconds later, Zhou Yancong replied with two messages:

Okay, I'll be back at Yujingyuan in a little while.

Shen Jinsui, I'm really looking forward to our next meeting.

Shen Jinsui stared at the screen, her beautiful, clear fox-like eyes flickering slightly.

A moment later, those slender, pale fingers tapped on the phone screen: 【Okay.】

Zhou Yancong: [I won't bother you anymore, get some rest.]

Shen Jinsui: [Yeah, you too, go home and rest early.]

After reading her reply, Zhou Yancong turned off his phone and walked to his desk.

He pressed a button on the table, and a few seconds later, Yu Feng pushed open the door and bowed to him: "Chairman Zhou."

Zhou Yancong lazily lifted his eyelids and casually asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Yu Feng was stunned. This was the first time his boss had asked him such a personal question.

He quickly answered truthfully, "Jay Chou, I have a girlfriend."

How long after you met her did you confess your feelings to her?

Yu Feng honestly replied, "We've known each other since we were little, and we naturally started dating when we were in college."

Zhou Yancong glanced at him and said calmly, "Find a reason to ask the female employees in the company what kind of confession scenarios they like, compile them and send them over."

"Yes." Yu Feng nodded in agreement.

He appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly quite surprised, not expecting his boss to have so many tricks up his sleeve when pursuing women.

Zhou Yancong tapped his fingers casually on the desk. After deciding to instruct Yu Feng to prepare for the Nebula team building event, he realized that he had unusual feelings for Shen Jinsui.

When he and Shen Jinsui watched the intangible cultural heritage performance together, in the instant their eyes met, he became completely clear about his own feelings.

He will find a suitable time to formally confess his feelings to Shen Jinsui.

However, he cannot rush things before that; he must let the other person gradually fall in love with him and proceed slowly.

If everything goes smoothly and things naturally fall into place, then it's best if couples are mutually attracted to each other.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yancong gave Yu Feng a few instructions.
