Chapter 156 I'll be online for twenty hours straight, just for you.
Shen Jingsi arrived without a word. The presidential suites were all booked by their group, and a big shot like him couldn't possibly stay in any other category.
There are two suites with empty rooms, so he will either stay with Lu Zhenyu or Feng Jinzhou.
"If Zhenzhen doesn't mind, then I don't mind either."
"puff!"
Feng Manman, sitting at the dining table, spat out a mouthful of water, then looked at Shen Jingsi across the long table with eyes full of admiration.
Lu Zhenyu, who was cutting a medium-rare steak, didn't even look up. "I mind."
Shen Jingsi, who was about to drink, stopped.
"Then I'll just have to make do and be roommates with Brother Jing Si." Feng Jinzhou raised an eyebrow at Shen Jing Si, who was glancing at him with a longing look. "It's okay, I don't mind."
Shen Jingsi: "..."
At the top of the long table, Siwei, slicing beef, began to sing, "A new storm has arrived, how can we stand still~ Crossing the sea of people, with all our might, we'll bring her to your side~"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the crowd, who were practically bursting with suppressed laughter, burst into laughter.
Caught in the middle, Lu Zhenyu also laughed.
Feng Manman hugged her pregnant belly and said, "No, don't tease me, you're going to make me laugh my son out!"
The two people separated by Lu Zhenyu exchanged a glance, then turned their heads. One bit her lip and smiled, while the other raised her wine glass to her lips, unable to resist.
With a mix of amusement and helplessness, Lu Zhenyu divided the untouched steak into pieces, one on the left and one on the right, and patted his two broad shoulders with an air of importance, saying, "Wishing you two a pleasant cohabitation."
late at night.
After taking a shower, Lu Zhenyu, wearing a sundress, was writing postcards at a crystal table when her phone vibrated beside her.
With a final, bold stroke, she picked up her phone.
Jing Si, "Photographs"
Jing Si sent another voice message, his soft, deep voice carrying the subtle rustling of a breeze, "The starry sky is beautiful tonight. Would I have the honor of inviting Ms. Zhenzhen down for a chat?"
As Lu Zhenyu zoomed in on the photo of the starry sky, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
Wife: "It's too late, I'm a little sleepy. Mr. Shen, why don't you invite someone else?"
The beach was sparsely populated at midnight.
Sitting curled up on the rocks, Shen Jingsi stared at the cold, impersonal chat box for a long time before replying.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest anymore. Goodnight, Zhenzhen, sweet dreams."
He turned off his phone but didn't leave. He sat there, looking up to admire the starry sky that was a sight rarely seen in Beijing in the last century.
The sea breeze blew in from time to time, soaking through the dark blue silk shirt he had carefully chosen after showering and grooming himself.
There was a hint of melancholy in those deep, affectionate eyes, covered with a halo thicker than the surrounding night sky.
A person sat curled up on a huge, dark rock, the sea breeze lifting their thin silk shirt, their obedient bangs brushing against their eyelashes, looking lonely and forlorn.
Having sat for too long without realizing it, Shen Jingsi's eyes became dry and blurry from the wind, and he prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to get up, a voice came from under the rocks, "I just finished writing the postcard and I'm a little late. I hope Mr. Shen doesn't mind."
As Shen Jingsi turned around, Lu Zhenyu emerged from under the rocks.
She wore a blue ankle-length halter-neck dress with a thin cardigan over it, her long hair half-tied back with a shark clip, and her skin as white as snow in the dark.
Under the moonlight, a person standing on the rocks looks as beautiful as a mermaid who has just landed.
She walked over while the man was in a daze and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Shen, is the seat next to me taken?"
Shen Jingsi smiled and said, "Yes, I made a date with my crush."
"Oh?" Lu Zhenyu raised an eyebrow. "Alright then, in that case I'll just have to find another seat?"
As the person turned to leave, they were grabbed by the wrist.
A roguish smile played on his thin lips in the dead of night. "She rejected me, so she probably can't come. Please have a seat."
Turning back, Lu Zhenyu raised an eyebrow with interest. "If she finds out, she won't hit me, will she?"
The smile on Shen Jingsi's lips deepened. "It's alright. I'll protect you if she tries to hit me."
After they finished speaking, they both turned their heads and laughed.
After playing and fooling around, Lu Zhenyu sat down next to the coat that Chen Jingsi had laid out for her earlier.
The two people, sitting close together, didn't speak, their shoulders occasionally brushing against each other as they looked up at the stars.
After a long while, Shen Jingsi called out, "Zhenzhen?"
"Mmm," the girl responded softly.
He said, "I have taken good care of myself."
Lu Zhenyu, still gazing at the stars, asked with a smile, "How did you fall in love?"
Shen Jingsi, looking at it with a serious expression, said, "I've gained five pounds."
Lu Zhenyu, "..."
It was a rather speechless answer, but Shen Jingsi took it incredibly seriously.
It seems that in his mind, gaining weight is a way of loving himself.
Lu Zhenyu should have felt helpless, but when she met those unblinking eyes, she felt inexplicably heartbroken.
Thinking about it, I rubbed my face, which didn't look like I'd gained five pounds at all. "Great job, keep it up."
Since Chen Jingsi arrived at noon, Lu Zhenyu hadn't given him much enthusiastic feedback, which frustrated him greatly, despite all the effort he had put into getting ready.
Then he was soothed by patting his face.
The person's health bar visibly refills, and they say, "I will."
Smiling like a landlord's silly son, with a dazzling starry sky above him, his unruly cold face paired with obedient short hair, he was both handsome and adorable. Lu Zhenyu smiled with a sidelong glance.
After a moment, he said leisurely, "Why didn't you ask me what I've been doing these past two months?"
Shen Jingsi followed up on her question, "So what did you do?"
Lu Zhenyu looked at him and said, "I made a friend in New Zealand. She's four years old, a girl, also a premature baby, and she even shares my surname. She's incredibly beautiful, like a Barbie doll."
"How could anyone be prettier than you?" Shen Jingsi grinned wickedly.
"Stop messing around." Lu Zhenyu pushed his head away speechlessly, then became serious. "Seeing her reminds me of our child, so how long are you going to keep putting it off before you take me to see her?"
Under the girl's serious scrutiny, Shen Jingsi licked his lips and said, "Once you decide to start over with me, I'll take you to see her."
“You…” Lu Zhenyu choked, raised her hand and punched the grinning man, “Are you deliberately getting back at me for forgetting about you?”
Shen Jingsi grabbed the hand in front of his chest. "Is that all?"
"What else?"
He whispered in her ear, "On our last night at the border, you took advantage of me and ran away, have you forgotten?"
"..."
Lu Zhenyu stood there, stunned, staring blankly for a long time. "I...I really did..."
How could that be!
When she woke up, he was sitting in a chair, sleeping by the bedside. Neither of them had taken off their clothes, so how could they have had sex?
However, Shen Jingsi seemed to be injured, and said with a serious expression, "So it turns out I thought too highly of you."
He sighed, "Yeah, like you said, he's already had a child, what does it matter if a grown man is taken advantage of?"
Lu Zhenyu's mind was racing.
What is all this about?
Seeing that the person was speechless, Shen Jingsi lowered her head, touched her heart, and silently turned her back. "So, you are such an irresponsible woman. I'm a little disappointed in you."
Lu Zhenyu: "..."
They didn't know how long the sea breeze had been blowing, but at three in the morning, the two finally returned to the hotel side by side.
"Zhenzhen, are you really not going to take me in?"
"Didn't you already move to Jin Zhou's place?"
In the elevator, the tall man, standing at 1.89 meters, silently reached out and tugged at the girl's sleeve, saying, "I can move in anytime you need me."
"..."
The two of them were alone in the glittering elevator.
The four mirrors reflected Shen Jingsi's deep affection from every angle.
Lu Zhenyu swallowed hard, shifting her gaze away from his eagerly peering face.
"No need to bother, I prefer to be alone, in peace and quiet."
The friendly smile slowly faded.
Shen Jingsi raised his hand, which had been loosened from his sleeve, and tucked the stray hairs in front of the girl's eyes behind her ear.
"It's okay, just call me anytime you need me."
Lu Zhenyu frowned. "What did you say?"
Shen Jingsi smiled. The elevator doors opened at the 25th floor, and he bent down to whisper in her ear, "Anything you need is fine. I'm available 24/7, just for you."
The person turned and left, leaving Lu Zhenyu with her cheeks flushed red all the way to her feet.
A few bursts of laughter came from around the corner, and she frowned and shouted, "Are you crazy?!"
