Beijing Colors Lingering

About an hour later, Zhou Yancong returned to his office, where the bustling night view of Beijing was visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom Skywalker arrived at the entrance of Yujingyuan. The driver opened the door and got out, then bent down and opened the rear door.

Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong got out of the car and walked towards Yujingyuan.

They had only walked a few steps when a large dog suddenly ran towards them at high speed, as if it were about to pounce on them.

Shen Jinsui was suddenly startled and planned to retreat to the other side to avoid the big dog.

Seeing this, Zhou Yancong didn't have time to think much. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, quickly turning aside to avoid the big dog.

Immediately afterwards, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old ran over, quickly bent down to take the dog's leash, and immediately apologized to Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong: "Brother and sister, I'm sorry, I didn't hold it back just now."

Soon, Shen Jinsui's heart inexplicably calmed down.

She knew that people would indeed be walking their dogs near Yujingyuan at this time, but she had never encountered a situation like this before.

Shen Jinsui looked at the dog's owner. Seeing that she was just a young girl and that she herself had not been physically harmed, she did not want to blame her.

The young woman's dog is an adult Alaskan Malamute. It is sitting obediently next to her, sticking out its tongue and tilting its head to look at them with a silly expression. It's kind of cute.

At this moment, Zhou Yancong looked down at the big dog and the girl, his face suddenly darkening.

He directly rebuked the other person, his voice sharp and cold, like ice in the depths of winter: "Why weren't you on a leash? What if it bumped into someone? Don't you know how dangerous that is?"

After Zhou Yancong finished speaking, Shen Jinsui noticed that the girl's face suddenly turned panicked, and she gripped the dog leash tightly, at a loss for what to do.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui couldn't help but recall the Czech wolfhound she used to own.

When she was a child, she walked her dog in the back garden of the Shen family's old house, and something similar happened there.

Seeing that the girl looked like she was about to cry, Shen Jinsui didn't want to make things difficult for her, so she whispered to Zhou Yancong, "Zhou Yancong, I'm fine, let her go first."

After a moment, Zhou Yancong's expression softened, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Then, Shen Jinsui looked at the girl and gently comforted her: "Little sister, you need to be careful when you walk the dog in the future. If you can't control the dog, you can ask your parents to walk the dog with you."

The girl quickly nodded in agreement: "Sister, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

Shen Jinsui smiled sweetly: "Okay, then you can go and continue walking the dog."

"Thank you, sister." After saying that, the girl quickly led the big dog away.

At that moment, Zhou Yancong realized that the warm, soft body in his arms had a fresh and sweet scent that lingered around his nose, subtly stirring his heartstrings.

A strange feeling gradually welled up in his heart, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly involuntarily.

Zhou Yancong slowly lowered his eyes and gazed at Shen Jinsui, a gentle light appearing in his dark and unfathomable eyes.

At this moment, Shen Jinsui realized that she was still in a firm and warm embrace, feeling the warmth from the man's body through his shirt, and belatedly felt her cheeks burning slightly.

Soon, she seemed to hear her heart pounding.

Zhou Yancong's tall and upright figure completely blocked out the moonlight and streetlights, enveloping her entirely.

After a while, Shen Jinsui slowly raised her eyes and found that Zhou Yancong was staring intently at her.

Those deep, dark eyes held tenderness, yet also concealed emotions she couldn't decipher.

Their gazes met in mid-air, and everything around them seemed to turn into a blur, leaving only the clear echo of their heartbeats in each other's ears.

Shen Jinsui's eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her gaze, her red lips moved slightly, and she murmured, "Zhou Yancong, you can let me go now."

"Sorry, I was rude."

Zhou Yancong's voice was deep and clear. He slowly released the person in his arms and took a step back to the side.

The man's deep, dark eyes held a smile, his gaze still fixed on Shen Jinsui.

"It's alright." Shen Jinsui slowly avoided his burning gaze, pursed her lips, and her voice became soft. "Let's go inside first."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong slowly walked into Yujingyuan.

The soft, hazy moonlight bathed them, creating an unexpected sense of tranquility.

After Shen Jinsui returned home, she still received messages from Zhou Yancong.

Chatting with Zhou Yancong every night has now become a habit for her.

After finishing her chat with Zhou Yancong, Shen Jinsui lay on the bed, her mind involuntarily replaying the unexpected hug from earlier, and her heart stirred slightly.

In an instant, Shen Jinsui suddenly remembered the day she agreed to be with Pei Chiyu.

Pei Chiyu raised his hand and pressed down on her shoulder, wanting to lower his head to kiss her, but she reflexively dodged him, and the kiss eventually landed on the top of her head.

The two ended up just hugging, but neither felt their heart race.

Shen Jinsui's mind wandered to a bunch of things, and in the end, she couldn't sleep again.

At that moment, outside the French windows, the moonlight gently spilled onto the treetops, and through the gaps in the curtains, a few specks of light fell onto the floor.

The night is deep and dark, the bright moon shines like water, and all is silent.

The villa, located in the central courtyard of Yujingyuan, features a tranquil and spacious bedroom.

Zhou Yancong lay on the bed with his eyes closed. In a daze, he felt an unusual warmth in his arms.

He slowly lifted his eyelids, his expression suddenly freezing as a bright and beautiful face came into view.

The woman tilted her head back, her gaze sweeping over him, her captivating, watery fox-like eyes fixed on him.

The next second, a glint of desire appeared in his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed heavily.

As if possessed, Zhou Yancong flipped over and pinned the man down, lowering his head to kiss his bright red lips, rubbing and sucking them.

In an instant, the spring water stirred the night, rippling out in concentric circles.

……

The next day, as dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the earth.

Zhou Yancong's biological alarm clock rang on time. He slowly opened his eyes, threw off the covers, and got up.

He stood by the bed, glanced down at it, and then looked at the bed from the side.

He immediately looked away and calmly walked into the bathroom. Then, the sound of running water filled the air.

After taking a shower, Zhou Yancong changed into a set of casual and comfortable home clothes, had breakfast in the dining room, and then went to the study to work.

Around noon, a cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the study.

Zhou Yancong looked at his phone screen. It was a call from his mother, Ying Wenjun. He answered and put it on speakerphone.

The next second, his mother's voice came through: "Yan Cong, have you had lunch?"

"not yet."

“Then go have lunch later,” Ying Wenjun reminded him again, “and remember to have dinner at the old house tonight.”

"Ah."

Ying Wenjun, on the other end of the phone, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask you, what's the situation between you and Sui Sui now?"

After confirming that Shen Jinsui was single, Ying Wenjun hurriedly called her son to the hospital, intending to introduce them to each other.

She was delighted to find that the two had already met.
