Encounter in Beijing

Cheng Jiamo first met He Qingzhao as the hot season drew to a close. He stood beneath the bodhi tree, bathed in twilight’s glow, while she watched him from outside the crowd. Their next meeting was on a dark, rain-swept evening. Drenched in blood and water, she stumbled and fell before him, clutching the leg of his suit trousers. "Sir, save me..." "Don't be afraid." The man bent down, pulled her up, his voice clear, steady, and imbued with a powerful, comforting presence.

Three years later, she was being cornered by a group of wealthy young men at a party. He Qingzhao casually rested his cigarette-laden hand on her shoulder, leaning in intimately to her ear with a roguish smile. "Who bullied you just now? Point them out, and I'll stand up for you."

Later, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. He Qingzhao was always courteous, gentle, refined, and treated her exceptionally well. He affectionately called her "baby" every time and claimed she was his first love. She believed he truly liked her.

Until one day. She moved into his home and discovered he called his cats, dogs, parrots, goldfish, and turtles all "baby." The wall covered in photographs marked with numbers in his room pierced her eyes. In that moment, she awoke as if from a dream. How could someone like He Qingzhao possess genuine feelings? To him, she was no different from the collection of small animals he kept – mere possessions to be doted upon.

She decisively broke up with him and left. The usually cool and composed young Master He’s eyes showed anger for the first time, though he quickly suppressed it. "Okay," he flicked his cigarette ash and exhaled, "Cheng Jiamo, don't regret this."

-

Cheng Jiamo didn't regret it, but it was He Qingzhao who did. In the airport VIP lounge, the man forcefully pinned her against the door, his dark eyes fixed on her, his voice no longer gentle. "Leave him and come back to me." Cheng Jiamo smiled faintly, "He Qingzhao, I don't like you anymore." He Qingzhao pulled her into his arms, nibbling her earlobe, "You don't like me, but you can only be with me." The jasmine flower he personally cultivated could only bloom for him alone.

Cheng Jiamo and He Qingzhao were entangled for three years, but ultimately, they separated. The day she left, it snowed heavily in North Beijing. What she didn't know was that He Qingzhao had a car accident while chasing after her in the snow.

【Pre-order: "Beijing Night's Fall [Broken Mirror Reunion]"】

Yan Rui first met Lin Fengxu at the freshman orientation assembly. She stood on the podium representing the new students to give a speech, while Lin Fengxu sat lazily in the front row of the leadership seats, to the left of the secretary. At that time, she didn't yet know about Beijing's prominent families, nor did she know Lin Fengxu's identity, but his aloof and devilishly handsome demeanor left a deep impression on her.

Their second meeting was on the mountainside of Nanling. Trapped by a group of unruly rich young men, helpless, he approached the crowd with one hand in his pocket, silhouetted against the setting sun, and asked her charmingly, "Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll back you up."

The third time was when she was visiting a famous royal mansion attraction and accidentally wandered into a courtyard beside it, which resembled a scenic spot, with its plain gray walls. From then on, she spent three years listening to the evening and morning bells in that small courtyard and learned of Lin Fengxu's identity as a top noble young master in the Sijiu City circle.

After she and Lin Fengxu got together, she often heard Lin Fengxu's friends teasing him, saying that Master Lin's old barn had caught fire, all for a young girl like her, burning down an entire garden. They also said Lin Fengxu cherished her like his own heart. Lin Fengxu did dote on her, but she knew it was merely doting.

Three years later, Lin Fengxu got engaged, and she left. Four years later, she returned to China, deliberately avoiding Beijing and going to Haicheng. She never expected to run into Lin Fengxu right after leaving the airport. She held a suitcase in one hand and a three-year-old child in the other, facing Lin Fengxu across the throng of people.

At midnight, there was a knock on the door. Through the electronic peephole, she saw Lin Fengxu standing outside. When the door opened, she stated concisely to the person outside, "The child isn't yours. You can get a DNA test." Lin Fengxu completely shed his noble exterior, pinning her against the door with a rakish air, his breath heavy as he pleaded with her, "I don't mind. I'll raise the child even if it's not mine. Come back, okay?"

The day Yan Rui got married, it snowed heavily in Beijing. Lin Fengxu sat in that plain gray courtyard, where one could hear the morning and evening bells, for a day and a night, covered in snow. He knew there was no going back and didn't want to break himself further, but when he saw her smiling brightly, chatting about everything and nothing with another man, all his coolness and pride turned to ashes in that moment.
