Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 119 A Rain That Never Stops
Shen Guining was startled, her movements of folding clothes froze for a moment, and she hurriedly came back to her senses.

Qu Yanci frowned slightly as he looked at the suitcase spread out on the ground.

Shen Guining didn't know he would come back so early, "I..."

He paused before he could finish speaking.

Their eyes met for a moment, then she lowered her gaze, a lump forming in her throat, a sour feeling rising within her, making her voice hoarse. "I'm about to go on an international tour."

"An overseas tour?" Qu Yanci noticed something amiss, his eyes darkening. "How long will you be gone? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Shen Guining paused for a moment, then answered in a low voice, "The theater has organized a global tour that will last for two years."

Qu Yanci's expression suddenly turned cold. "Are you discussing this with me, or informing me?"

A terrifying aura drew near, and Shen Guining's heart clenched, her breath catching in her throat. "I'm sorry... I've already registered."

Qu Yanci twitched his lips, his jaw clenching. "Do you consider me your boyfriend? Or do you think this is your own business and you don't need to tell me beforehand?"

Shen Guining swallowed hard, "No..."

She didn't know how to explain it.

Qu Yanci's lips curled into a mocking smile, "It is indeed your own problem, because you never thought about having a future with me."

She said that herself, so they might break up anytime.

It's said so easily, as if feelings are something insignificant.

Shen Guining clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "We were never a good match... I really didn't think about the future back then."

Her voice was hoarse as she struggled to suppress the stinging tears in her eyes. She looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qu... You've helped me so much, I'm so grateful, and I have no way to repay you, but this is the end of our story..."

"Shen Guining." His eyes were icy, and the veins on his arms bulged. "What am I to you?"

They're dispensable, they keep breaking up with me, and they break up with me whenever they want.

This relationship is like a joke, or more accurately, it's more like a joke.

Shen Guining's body trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened uncontrollably.

Ruby heard them arguing in the living room, ran over and barked a few times: "Awoooooo..."

Qu Yanci glanced down at it and asked in a deep voice, "And what about it? What are your plans?"

A thin layer of mist clouded Shen Guining's eyes. "I can't take it with me..."

She will be flying to many countries in the next two years, but there are too many unforeseen circumstances associated with pet transportation, and she doesn't dare to gamble.

"If possible, could you keep it as a pet?"

Ruby following him is the best choice. Qu Yanci sneered, "You don't even want it anymore?"

Ruby tilted her head back and looked at Shen Guining, her dark eyes filled with innocence.

"I……"

Shen Guining choked up and couldn't speak.

It's not that she doesn't want Ruby, it's that she can't have her.

The air froze for a few seconds.

She took a deep breath and resolutely uttered four words: "I don't want it anymore."

"Fine." Qu Yanci nodded, his tone cold. "Since you've made your decision, I respect your choice. This is the end of it. Let's never see each other again."

The words lingered in my ears.

He turned and left.

The footsteps faded into the distance until they disappeared completely.

Thunder roared across the sky, and outside the window, the rain poured down relentlessly.

Shen Guining felt completely drained and collapsed onto the bed in a disheveled state. Tears finally streamed down her face as she sobbed loudly.

The surging emotions in her chest almost overwhelmed and swallowed her, and the pain made it hard to breathe.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision.

The past year, my encounter with Qu Yanci felt like a dream; we met in Hong Kong and fell in love in Beijing.

Beijing and Hong Kong enter my dreams, intertwined with rosemary.

It was as if her world was being rained on without stopping.

She didn't know if she could ever get out of this mess; perhaps she would be trapped in this downpour for the rest of her life.

Ruby nestled against Shen Guining's feet, gently tugging at her trouser leg with her front paws, seemingly sensing her sadness and trying to comfort her, "Aww..."

Shen Guining wiped away her tears, squatted down, hugged it tightly, and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry Ruby, I'm so sorry..."

"I can't take you with me."

“If you stay with Mr. Qu, he will have someone take good care of you.”

Ruby's cries gradually grew weaker and sadder.

This rainy night felt exceptionally long.
