Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 105 What do you want besides leaving?
……

The following weeks are all exam weeks.

Li Wu wasn't too worried because she had already self-studied the first-year courses during the summer vacation. Now she had already finished self-studying the second-year courses.

as well as.

That day, Li Wu sat quietly by the lake for the entire afternoon.

She stared at the application form on her laptop screen, and finally, with trembling hands, clicked submit.

H University seemed to have become Li Wu's last safe haven. Turning off her phone meant she wouldn't have to see people she didn't want to see, and she wouldn't have to hear his voice anymore.

Except for the tail that follows behind that you can't shake off.

After the exams, her two roommates went home that same day, and Su Jingyao also dropped out of school. The empty dormitory room was left with only Li Wu.

That night, Li Wu woke up at two in the morning.

Strictly speaking, she was so nervous that she hadn't slept at all.

Li Wu left without taking anything with her.

Even the SIM card was replaced with a new one beforehand.

Two bodyguards were stationed at the main entrance of the dormitory building. Li Wu was relieved that they weren't so ruthless as to just stand guard downstairs or outside her door.

Li Wu carefully climbed out of the second-floor window and landed on the path behind the dormitory building without being noticed.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further delay, Li Wu headed straight for the back gate of H University.

The front door is usually not opened; the key is kept by a designated person. Students usually enter and exit through the back door by swiping their student cards.

But for some reason, Li Wu tried to swipe the door several times that night but failed; the dark iron gate remained closed without moving.

Li Wu was already very nervous, and the door wouldn't open, making her palms sweat with anxiety.

Inexplicable.

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, and before she knew it, the card had slipped from her hand and fallen to the ground.

Just as Li Wu was about to squat down to pick it up.

A bright beam of light suddenly shone directly at her from the front.

Li Wu subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes.

When the light subsided and Li Wu lowered her hand, she had a bad feeling.

really.

Zhou Jinghuai stepped out of the car, dressed in a black suit, tall and slender.

Under the endless night sky.

Zhou Jinghuai walked over step by step, as if he wanted to devour Li Wu bit by bit.

There was a "pop" sound.

The card that Li Wu had just picked up suddenly fell limply to the ground.

Why didn't you wait for me to pick you up?

Zhou Jinghuai walked up to Li Wu, picked up her student ID card that had fallen to the ground, and said calmly.

Hear the words.

Li Wu's blood instantly turned ice-cold, and her face turned deathly pale.

……

Back in the car.

Zhou Jinghuai asked Li Wu, "Why is your phone always off?"

Li Wu did not respond.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that her body was actually trembling slightly, almost uncontrollably.

But Zhou Jinghuai didn't seem to care whether Li Wuhui answered or not.

He took the phone from her hand and unlocked it using her fingerprint.

"Why didn't you tell me you changed your number?"

Zhou Jinghuai's phone screen lit up, but it wasn't the eleven numbers he had memorized.

Li Wu still did not respond.

She kept looking out the window.

The flickering light and shadow swept across her face, revealing a delicate, fair profile, breathtakingly beautiful. It was like the most dreamlike and beautiful frame in an art film.

Zhou Jinghuai turned to look at the silent Li Wu. In just half a month, she looked much thinner than before.

With almost no effort, Zhou Jinghuai scooped Li Wu onto his lap. Holding her slender waist, he trapped her in his arms, his voice low and deep, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

The sudden closeness and familiar scent made Li Wu's heart skip a beat.

It's like an addiction that hasn't been broken yet.

Li Wu turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

She didn't know what else to say to him.

Zhou Jinghuai stared at Li Wu's face with his dark eyes, his voice deep and menacing, "Li Li, if you don't speak, I'm going to kiss you."

Hear the sound.

Li Wu was furious. He still had the nerve to talk back. She was just about to start yelling at him.

But the moment Li Wu turned her head, Zhou Jinghuai suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

Countless kisses have made us so familiar with each other that we naturally click the moment we touch.

A few seconds later, Li Wu finally reacted and reached out to push the man's chest away. Zhou Jinghuai grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her more fiercely and deeply.

……

Zhou Jinghuai knew every inch of Li Wu's body, so he naturally knew where her most sensitive spots were. Not just during sex, but even during kissing.

Not a moment later.

Li Wu collapsed into Zhou Jinghuai's arms, her breathing completely disordered, and she could only passively endure his kisses.

His fingertips, with their slightly rough texture, sent a shiver down her spine as they brushed against her delicate skin, like an electric current.

A drop of icy liquid suddenly hit the back of my hand.

He thought it was his imagination, but when Zhou Jinghuai looked down at Li Wu, what he saw was her silently weeping.

That moment.

Zhou Jinghuai suddenly stopped what he was doing.

She is crying.

Realizing this, Zhou Jinghuai reached out and used his fingers to wipe away her tears.

But the more you wipe, the more it appears.

He wanted to comfort her, but couldn't say anything that would please her, so he could only lower his head and apologize, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Jinghuai usually showed no emotion when he saw others cry. But seeing Li Wu cry made him feel somewhat helpless.

"Don't cry. If you don't like me, I won't kiss you anymore, Lili, don't cry." Zhou Jinghuai coaxed her softly.

But Li Wu seemed not to hear Zhou Jinghuai's words, and her tears continued to fall.

But she didn't cry out loud; she just wept silently. Her head was down, and her tears fell onto his clothes, spreading out in a ring of wetness.

They looked so pitiful. Zhou Jinghuai's heart ached for no reason, followed by an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. In his entire life, he had rarely felt so powerless.

"Zhou Jinghuai, please let me leave."

Li Wu's long eyelashes were still wet with tears, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her voice was still choked with sobs.

The expression on Zhou Jinghuai's face immediately faded.

After a long silence.

Zhou Jinghuai simply pulled Li Wu into his arms again, his voice gentle, "We finally have a holiday, is there anywhere you want to go? I'll go with you."

Li Wu closed her eyes and didn't say anything more.

……

After going back.

Zhou Jinghuai kept an even tighter watch on Li Wu.

There are two bodyguards in Yuqing Garden who follow him at all times, and Zhou Jinghuai must accompany him when he goes out.

Zhou Jinghuai would still hold her while she slept at night, but he didn't touch her anymore. Occasionally, when Li Wu woke up in the middle of the night, the side behind her was empty, and she could only hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Li Wu looked into the pitch-black room, where only a sliver of moonlight seeped through the cracks in the window.

A few minutes later.

Li Wu closed her eyes again.

He forcefully suppressed the bittersweet feeling in his heart.

Sometimes she thinks that even if she wasn't born into a wealthy family, it would be nice to have a complete family from a young age.

But even this most basic thing, she couldn't have.

Perhaps she was destined to never fully possess anything in her life.

About half an hour later, the man returned to the bed, still feeling the chill. A few minutes later, Zhou Jinghuai approached Li Wu and carefully pulled her into his arms.

A warm, broad chest, yet slightly cool, quickly pressed against him.

But even taking a cold shower probably didn't help. The two were pressed tightly together, and Li Wu quickly felt the change in his genitals.

Li Wu buried her head in the pillow and bit her lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound.

It's just self-torture.

……

Li Wu had a very poor appetite at that time, and the chefs had been changed several times, but she still didn't eat much. It was as if the few small bites she forced to eat each day were just to keep her alive.

Over the course of a few days, Li Wu became increasingly thin.

That afternoon, the sun was still shining a little. Li Wu lay on a recliner in the courtyard with her eyes closed. From a distance, she looked as if she were asleep.

The soft sunlight fell on her, as if sprinkling a layer of fine, shimmering starlight.

But she was too frail, as if she would be blown away by the wind.

Zhou Jinghuai stood at the gate of the courtyard, paused, and stared at her for a long time.

When Secretary Lin came over to report, everyone stopped in their tracks, seemingly hesitant about whether or not they should come over.

In the end, it was He Yanting who came looking for Zhou Jinghuai. After not seeing Zhou Jinghuai for a long time, he went and called him over himself.

……

In the study room.

After finishing their business, He Yanting recalled the scene he had witnessed not long ago. Unusually, he didn't make fun of him, but simply said, "So that's why you don't go to the company every day. You're here watching over someone."

He Yanting paused slightly, then his voice deepened, "I heard they ultimately chose the Zhao family?"

If it's the Zhao family, then their status in the military is second only to the Xu family. Not to mention, that person also has a maternal uncle who is at the center of the political arena.

Furthermore.

That person is also very outstanding, a graduate of the National University of Defense Technology with two doctoral degrees. She trained in the team with her father and brothers from a young age, and her current rank is completely unsurpassable among her peers.

Seeing Zhou Jinghuai frowning and remaining silent, He Yanting finally spoke slowly after a long while, "Then if you want to form a marriage alliance with the Zhao family, what about Li Wu? Should we make her leave?"

"She does want to."

Zhou Jinghuai suddenly lowered his voice.

"..."

"So, Li Wu wants to leave, but you won't let go?" He Yanting concluded.

The study is filled with many rare ancient books, and perhaps because of their age, the air in the room is imbued with a somber atmosphere.

He Yanting looked at Zhou Jinghuai with a slightly complicated gaze, and said in a slow and deliberate tone, "Not to mention that you are almost ten years older than her, the trials and tribulations you have experienced are nothing short of legendary. How come you are not as clear-headed as a young girl?"

If this happened to anyone else, He Yanting would be used to it. After all, it's not uncommon for people in the industry to do things this way. Even their legal wives turn a blind eye.

But he didn't think it would happen to Zhou Jinghuai.

"Besides, you're not the kind of person who can't let go of things."

Zhou Jinghuai's face was gloomy. He put one hand on the armrest of the chair and said in a deep voice, "Li Wu is different. I will not let her leave me."

He Yanting was taken aback.

Perhaps because Zhou Jinghuai had always obtained everything effortlessly since childhood, he had almost never been seen to resolutely express what he wanted.

This is the first time.

He Yanting wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back. He himself was not qualified to advise Zhou Jinghuai.

“Li Wu is different from others.”

He Yanting finally said, "Given your feelings for her, it's uncertain who will ultimately win over whom."

……

When Li Wu woke up, she saw a tall figure looming over her.

"woke up?"

Zhou Jinghuai spoke gently.

Having recognized the person, Li Wu remained silent, not wanting to pay him any attention.

See this.

Zhou Jinghuai seemed to smile, then leaned down and gently kissed Li Wu's delicate cheeks, then her soft lips.

A gentle touch, a slow and tender embrace, a gentle way to dispel weariness.

Perhaps Li Wu was still dizzy from waking up, and she let Zhou Jinghuai kiss her for a while while she was having difficulty breathing.

When she came to her senses and reached out to push Zhou Jinghuai away, Zhou Jinghuai stepped back first.

Tears welled up in Li Wu's eyes as she looked at the man who was crouching down beside her.

"Alright, stop glaring, or your eyeballs will fall out." He said gently.

There's a strange feeling that nothing ever happened.

Li Wu turned her head away in anger, refusing to look at him.

After a long silence.

Zhou Jinghuai called her gently as always, "Lili".

"let's talk."

"Besides leaving, what do you want?"
