Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 117 My Boyfriend
……

As night turned to day, it snowed in Beijing for a full day and night.

The heavy snowfall blanketed the entire city in white.

The world was a vast expanse of white and silent, with the cold wind howling past, almost completely obscuring the traces of vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

"It's been so many years since Beijing has seen such heavy snow!"

As soon as they came out of the research institute, someone couldn't help but exclaim.

She turned her head, about to continue talking to the person next to her, but when she inadvertently looked at the people walking towards them not far away, she suddenly fell silent again.

The newcomer was wearing a simple yet elegant white coat. The cold wind gently blew her long, seaweed-like hair, the strands lightly brushing against her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Her overall demeanor was cool and composed.

Even though it wasn't the first time Bian Yue had seen her, he was still amazed every time he saw her.

Her beauty is an indescribable elegance, not merely superficial, but a beauty that radiates from within, reaching the very core of her being. It seems that anyone standing next to her would pale in comparison.

In particular, she was a specially appointed doctoral researcher whom the Chinese Academy of Sciences had to hire twice before bringing her back from abroad.

"Teacher Li."

As she approached, Bian Yue greeted her first, "Are you going back too? But it snowed heavily again today, so it'll probably be hard to get a taxi at this time."

Hear the words.

Li Wu looked outside.

As far as the eye could see, everything was a vast expanse of white. The entire city was covered in snow, so pure and dazzling.

in memory.

The heaviest snowfall in Beijing was seven years ago.

"Where does Teacher Li live?"

Upon hearing Bian Yue's words, a colleague kindly suggested, "Let's see who's going the same way and give Teacher Li a ride."

Li Wu had only recently returned to Beijing and hadn't had time to pick up her car yet.

But when she heard her colleague's suggestion, she simply said no.

At first, her colleagues thought Li Wu was aloof, and since she had only recently joined their department and they weren't familiar with each other, they didn't want to trouble them.

But then.

Li Wu added that someone was coming to pick her up.

The voice just fell.

As dusk fell, a black Bentley slowly drove up from a distance.

The car windows were fitted with privacy film, making it impossible to see who was sitting inside. But the twilight lights flowed across the gleaming black car, casting a dazzling array of luxurious light and shadow.

The last car slowly pulled up in front of Li Wu.

The car came to a stop, and the driver's side door was pushed open, revealing a tall and slender man getting out.

The group was saying goodbye when they heard the commotion and looked over.

Upon closer inspection, one is immediately taken aback. The man is tall and imposing, dressed in a finely crafted black suit with a matching black overcoat.

In particular, he has a very handsome and clean-cut face, with long, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle and refined temperament, as elegant as bamboo under the moon. It's easy for people to like him.

"Didn't you say you'd wait until I arrived before coming out?"

Yan Xuting walked up to Li Wu and familiarly took her hand.

It felt a bit chilly.

"I just came out too."

Li Wu looked up at him and smiled faintly.

"...Teacher Li, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Someone snapped out of their daze and tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuting also lowered his eyes to look at Li Wu, his eyes unconsciously filled with some doting affection.

Li Wu met his gaze, paused slightly, and then calmly continued her introduction.

"Yan Xuting, my boyfriend."

"...So Teacher Li already has a boyfriend." Upon hearing Li Wu's introduction, someone couldn't help but exclaim.

As the youngest female researcher in their institute, Li Wu's research achievements were enough to make them look on with envy.

Unexpectedly, her boyfriend was also exceptionally handsome and had a remarkable demeanor, unlike most people.

Especially when they saw Yan Xuting hand them their business cards and say gently that if it was convenient, he would like to take good care of Li Wu.

After saying goodbye.

Yan Xuting leaned over to the passenger seat, his long, slender fingers fastening Li Wu's seatbelt, and then gentlemanly closed the car door.

He then walked around the front of the car and returned to the driver's seat.

The car drove off for quite a while.

Someone looked at the introduction on the business card; it didn't specify the department, but it was from the most prestigious hospital in Beijing.

He then couldn't help but sigh, "Excellent people really do tend to gravitate towards each other..."

……

The lanterns are on.

The city's neon lights gradually illuminated the street, and the dazzling lights stretched endlessly, making the entire Chang'an Avenue seem like daytime.

Li Wu turned her head to look at the night view outside, her eyes filled with a quiet expression.

"Are you a little tired after just getting back?"

While waiting at the red light, Yan Xuting glanced at Li Wu.

The flickering light and shadows swept across the car window, illuminating for a moment her fair, delicate, and flawless profile.

Beautiful and dreamlike, like the most breathtakingly beautiful frame in a movie.
