Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 135 Why are you pressing down on me right away?

After a half-hour break, Shen Guining was called away by staff to record the official stage performance.

The meeting concluded smoothly at 5 PM.

She won't need to participate in the recordings after that.

Shen Guining breathed a sigh of relief.

Making a living in the entertainment industry is not for everyone. At least she doesn't like this kind of life where she is under constant scrutiny from netizens, and every move she makes may be maliciously interpreted.

A simple and peaceful life suits her better.

Shen Guining returned to the lounge to change back into her own clothes. Just as she reached the door, Fu Jianzhou caught up with her and called her back.

"Teacher Shen."

She stopped and turned around to ask politely, "Teacher Fu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Fu Jianzhou walked over with his phone in his hand and said with a smile, "It just so happens that we've known each other for so long but we don't even have each other's contact information. Would it be convenient to add each other as WeChat friends?"

Shen Guining hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Although we're not close, they're still friends, so it's hard to refuse.

It simply means having more people in your WeChat list; it doesn't matter.

"Then I'll scan you." Fu Jianzhou looked down and unlocked his phone.

Shen Guining opened the QR code and added him as a friend.

Fu Jianzhou spoke again, "The director said he's treating everyone to dinner tonight, are you going?"

Shen Guining politely declined, saying, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't be able to join you."

"Okay." Fu Jianzhou paused. "Then we'll meet again sometime."

"Ah."

After finishing their conversation, Shen Guining pushed open the door to the lounge and went inside.

The room was dimly lit. She reached out to turn on the light when her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and a dark figure appeared in front of her without her noticing.

She was startled and opened her mouth to scream, but the next second her mouth was sealed by warm lips, and a strong arm restrained her waist, pressing her back against the door.

My mind went blank for a moment.

Shen Guining's heart pounded violently. As she resisted, she suddenly realized that the scent from her nose and mouth was familiar.

A light and elegant ambergris scent, calm and profound.

Who else could it be but Qu Yanci? Even if she couldn't see her, she wouldn't mistake her.

The guard was instantly lifted, and the tense body gradually relaxed.

Qu Yanci pinched her chin and lifted it up, making it easier for him to kiss her more deeply.

Shen Guining was forced to open her mouth to accept it.

The ambiguous sound of water lingered in my ears, mixed with uneven breathing.

When vision is obstructed, other senses become clearer.

Can anyone tell her why this man was in her lounge? And why he suddenly pinned her against the door and kissed her?

Has he forgotten that they've broken up?

Having not kissed for so long, Shen Guining's lung capacity was insufficient, and her breath was being taken by him, making it hard for her to breathe. She struggled to push him away, and her arm accidentally bumped into a coat rack.

With a loud bang, it fell to the ground.

Qu Yanci put his arm around her to prevent her from getting hurt.

A staff member passing by heard the noise and knocked on the door. "Teacher Shen? Are you in there? What happened?"

Shen Guining's heart tightened. She quickly calmed her breathing and replied, "It's nothing. I accidentally knocked something over."

Her slightly hoarse voice betrayed her nervousness.

In contrast, the man in front of her remained calm and composed, his face expressionless.

"Okay, it's good that everything is alright." The staff member turned and left.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Shen Guining's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled.

Qu Yanci raised his hand and pressed the switch on the wall.

The lights came on, and visibility finally improved.

Shen Guining regained her composure slightly and looked at him, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Qu Yanci pressed his thumb against her chin, his fingertips slowly tracing her lips. "What, am I interrupting your WeChat conversation?"

"..." What does that mean?
Shen Guining blushed and pushed his hand away. "Why did you press down on me like that right away?"

Qu Yanci released her and straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves. "Ruby is sick."

"Are you sick?" Shen Guining asked anxiously, "How could you get sick when you were perfectly fine? What kind of illness is it and how serious is it?"

"Eating bad food, gastroenteritis."

"Where is it now? I want to see it!"

Qu Yanci locked the door from the inside. "Change your clothes, I'll take you to the hospital."

Shen Guining was taken aback. "How can I change if you don't go out?"

Qu Yanci's gaze swept over her entire body. "What haven't I seen before?"

"..."

How can these be the same? It was reasonable to date before, but is it appropriate to break up now?

Shen Guining was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time, so she hurriedly took her clothes and went to change behind the dressing curtain.

The more you rush, the more likely you are to make a mistake. A strand of hair accidentally got stuck in the zipper at the back and couldn't be removed.

She tried several times without success, so she had no choice but to ask the man outside for help.

The curtain was parted a little, and a head peeked out.

Shen Guining was slightly embarrassed, "Mr. Qu..."

Qu Yanci leaned back on the sofa, shifting his gaze over. "What?"

Shen Guining, feeling embarrassed, whispered, "My hair got caught in the zipper, could you help me fix it?"

Qu Yanci gestured with his eyes, "Come here."

Shen Guining hesitated for two seconds, then pulled back the curtain, walked over, and squatted down with his back to him.

Her hair was swept back, exposing her fair and smooth back to the air.

Qu Yanci's eyes darkened slightly.

As he worked, his fingertips occasionally brushed against his skin, causing a tingling, itchy sensation to spread.

Shen Guining pursed her lips and held her breath.

But her mind kept replaying past memories: him pressing her down on the bed and kissing her all over her back—a scene full of eroticism.

Shen Guining quickly stopped her thoughts and urged, "Are you done? If you really can't untie it, just use scissors."

"What's the rush?" Qu Yanci moved slowly and deliberately, pulling the hair that was tangled and stuck out of the zipper and pulling the zipper all the way up.

Shen Guining suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, grabbed the coat next to her and put it on, "Let's go quickly."

Qu Yanci gave a soft "hmm" and got up to walk outside.

Shen Guining followed, carrying her bag.

At the entrance on the first floor, I met the head of the program team, who asked respectfully, "Mr. Qu, are you leaving already? We haven't had a chance to entertain you yet."

Qu Yanci said calmly, "Something's up."

"Okay, take care then."

Shen Guining seemed to remember something, and after walking for a while, asked, "You invested in this program?"

Qu Yanci tacitly agreed.

Shen Guining muttered, "Didn't you say this was some kind of messy program?"

Why would you invest money in such a messy program?

His casual remark, "I have a lot of money," left Shen Guining speechless.

We arrived at the pet hospital at 7:00 AM.

Ruby lay listlessly on the bed in her private cubicle, her cries weak and feeble, "Awoo..."

Shen Guining felt extremely distressed and stroked its head to comfort it, "Good boy, get well soon."

Normally lively and energetic, but when sick, they become listless and pitiful.

Qu Yanci's voice was slightly deep, "Let's see if it dares to eat random things again."

The incident started a couple of days ago when my aunt was cleaning the kitchen and found several boxes of expired dried meat. She was going to throw them away, but Ruby accidentally ate them.

This morning, Ruby suddenly started vomiting. Auntie hurriedly notified Qu Yanci, who took Ruby to the hospital for treatment. She was diagnosed with gastroenteritis and needed to receive injections for two days and be observed.

Shen Guining couldn't help but speak up for Ruby, "It's sick, don't be so fierce."
