Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 51 Coax him
……

But when he pushed open the bedroom door and saw the scene on the bed, his gaze suddenly froze.

Li Wu was lying on her side on the headboard, wearing a white nightgown, holding a book whose cover was illegible.

Zhou Jinghuai paused at the door before stepping inside.

"why are not you sleeping?"

As soon as Zhou Jinghuai finished speaking, he had already walked to the bedside.

When they heard the noise coming from the door.

Li Wu's heart trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

As Zhou Jinghuai approached, Li Wu looked up at him and smiled, "Waiting for you."

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

Zhou Jinghuai reached out and pinched her cheek.

Thinking about what she was about to do, Li Wu blushed slightly.

She set aside the book she was using to conceal it and gently reached out to grasp Zhou Jinghuai's wrist. The pale blue veins on her hand almost connected to his.

Li Wu tilted her head slightly, her beautiful, clear eyes looking at Zhou Jinghuai, and softly said, "I'll dance for you, okay?"

Hear the words.

A slight ripple stirred in Zhou Jinghuai's eyes, which were as dark as an inky sea.

"You can?"

Zhou Jinghuai said calmly.

The man's deep, pleasant voice remained calm and composed, devoid of any emotion, purely a declarative tone.

Li Wu nodded slightly.

Knowing that what she knew was probably just the tip of the iceberg in his eyes, Li Wu said modestly, "I know a little bit."

When she was filming "Floating Dream," there was an important scene that required her to dance.

She studied with the classical dance teacher that Director Shen had invited for almost half a month.

She probably has a great memory; she can remember the movements after learning them only once.

Her classical dance teacher praised her highly, and even jokingly asked her if she wanted to pursue a career in dance, given her young age and excellent physique.

After hearing what Li Wu said.

Zhou Jinghuai neither said he would look nor he wouldn't, but simply looked down at her and asked calmly, "Why?"

why?
Why should I dance for him?

Li Wu gazed at Zhou Jinghuai's exceptionally handsome face. Under the pale light, he appeared gentle, refined, and elegant like jade.

When she spoke, she slightly averted her eyes, too shy to meet his gaze directly. Her voice was soft and gentle, ethereal as mist, "Just... trying to make someone happy..."

The last word was barely audible, and as soon as she finished speaking, her face flushed uncontrollably.

But Zhou Jinghuai still wanted to tease her, his voice low and chuckled, "Who are you trying to fool?"

The blush on Li Wu's face instantly turned bright red. After all, it was her first time doing something like this, and she was still a little shy.

Under Zhou Jinghuai's deep, dark gaze.

After a pause, Li Wu softly uttered three words, "...Mr. Zhou."

Hush, Mr. Zhou.

When the little girl said this, she lowered her head shyly, and her voice was soft and gentle.

The bright, crystalline light, like wisps of ethereal snow mist, thin and ethereal, hazily enveloped her entire being.

Beautiful as smoke and mist.

Seeing that Zhou Jinghuai was just looking at her without saying anything, Li Wu looked up at him and smiled again. When it was time to leave, Li Wu looked at him, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of hesitation.

Finally, Li Wu mustered up some courage, tilted her head back, and kissed Zhou Jinghuai's eyes.

Obsessed and devout.

one second.

It still lasts two seconds.

When Zhou Jinghuai opened his eyes, he saw the floor-to-ceiling window—

A beautiful woman dancing in the moonlight.

Li Wu's long, flowing hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, and she wore a white dress, her steps light and graceful. The soft skirt flowed like clear, flowing water, scattering starlight-like shimmering light. Her slender, supple waist was as flexible as a willow branch, able to bend to incredible angles. Her limbs were beautiful and long, every curve of her body seemed born for a dancer, light and graceful, captivating with every step.

When I looked back at him.

Every frown and smile was breathtakingly beautiful.

The ethereal, cool moonlight seemed to serve as a backdrop as she danced gracefully on the clouds. As she twirled and floated to the ground, her snow-white skirt scattered a trail of flowing starlight.

Her clear shadow was like the moon, seemingly untouched by the mortal world.

Zhou Jinghuai stood there tall and elegant, quietly watching the girl dancing in the moonlight.

later.

By then, she had been gone from him for many years.

He often woke up from nightmares to find himself surrounded by cold surroundings. Then he would inevitably relive that scene.

A hidden pain in my heart.

He thought he might regret it.

But I never expected to regret it so much.

……

……

This was due to the tacit joint promotion by various platforms, coupled with the influence of several big-name directors.

On the night of its broadcast, the ratings for "Floating Life Dream" soared, making it the top-rated show on the platform that night.

This drama marks Li Wu's first time playing the female lead.

On the night that "Floating Life Dream" aired, Li Wu was so nervous that she couldn't sleep. She even hid under the covers and secretly read the comments in the middle of the night.

[Haha, what an amazing lineup!! Actor Wen, Actress Liang, and Brother Xi Xun, I'm just speechless~]

Wow, almost half of the female celebrities in the industry are in this drama!! Plus veteran actors like Cheng Lin, Lu Xingzhao, and Su Xueqing. Wow, no wonder this director from Beijing's entertainment circle is so wealthy.

[Having money isn't enough; they also need powerful backing that they can't afford to offend. Otherwise, how could they attract all these big names to play supporting roles for a newcomer?]

[The picture quality of "Floating Life Dream" is so good it could be watched like a movie, right? No wonder it's directed by a director who transitioned from film...]

Why are there only two episodes a day?! I even subscribed to a membership specifically for this show!!

……

……

Li Wu scrolled for a while before finding a few scattered comments about herself.

Putting everything else aside, the female lead's face alone is quite beautiful.

[Wow! I was so focused on the female lead's face the whole time that I didn't even know if she had any acting skills. I'll have to watch it again before I judge her...]

[How old is the female lead? She looks so fresh and youthful, she seems like she's still a minor...]

[I can't see any acting skills in her. With that stunningly beautiful face, she seems to make all sorts of expressions and movements quite naturally.]

[My heart is finally at ease. Regardless of his acting skills, at least he didn't drag the show down...]

……

There are comments discussing the plot and character design of "Floating Life Dream". As for the other actors, netizens are praising their costumes and acting skills.

Arrive at Liwu.

What netizens discussed most was her face.

It's like a third kind of stunning beauty, besides moonlight and snow, breathtaking at first glance.

Some even said that they had never seen anyone as beautiful and radiant as her in the industry before.

……

……

As Li Wu scrolled through the comments, her anxiety gradually subsided.

She pursed her lips.

Although almost no one commented on her acting skills, the focus was entirely on her face. But at least no one said she acted poorly or dragged everyone down.

"They secretly watch it under the covers, aren't they afraid of hurting their eyes?"

A slightly deep, husky voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Li Wu so much that she almost threw her phone away.
