Chapter 100: The Seventy-Fourth Day of Dating: New Models Have...
Chapter 100: Day 74 of a Relationship. New models can be…
new models can be quite bold, especially the model Wu Yunxi met this time. She's very open to expressing her thoughts and understanding, and whether she understands or not, she doesn't. So when she offered to give it a try, Wu Yunxi gave her a chance.
"Okay, five photos. If after five, it still doesn't achieve the effect I want, we'll just have to pause and clarify the content."
While there's trial and error involved, Wu Yunxi can't let people keep trying. So, the opportunity is limited, and it depends on whether the newcomer can seize it.
Wu Yunxi didn't say anything else. After the model signaled she was ready, she picked up her camera and began shooting. As for the results, she didn't review her previous photos until after she'd taken five consecutive photos. Fortunately, two of them had captured the feeling Wu Yunxi was looking for.
Pointing to the two photos she wanted, Wu Yunxi didn't repeat herself. Even then, the girl understood, having passed the test.
"Just take these two photos. Your expression could be brighter."
"Oh~"
The result of the smooth filming was that although Wu Yunxi didn't see Kwon Ji-yong's first concert abroad, she did catch the second. As for the first concert, she'd already seen most of it in the fan videos. This time, there wasn't the song dedicated to Wu Yunxi, but there was another sweet song. If it weren't for the fan commentary mentioning the words "marry me" in the background music, Wu Yunxi might not have noticed it until Kwon Ji-yong proposed.
Even after the fans pointed it out, Wu Yunxi listened to it several times before she heard the whispered "marry me." She felt sweet, but also worried that the words were just Kwon Ji-yong's way of making the song sound better.
She kept these little details to herself, even recording them on her phone. Wu Yunxi had originally planned to wait and see what happened, but upon getting off the plane and seeing Kwon Ji-yong's manager, she greeted him and got into the car, where she saw Kwon Ji-yong sitting in the back.
"Babe, I'm here to pick you up."
"Oppa!"
Wu Yunxi got into the car and smiled, taking the hand that Kwon Ji-yong offered. The manager escorted them to the hotel where they would be staying for the next two days, then returned to their room.
"Ji-yong, you can rest a little. We'll be going to rehearsal soon,"
the manager reminded Kwon Ji-yong before leaving, in case he'd forgotten.
"Got it."
"Babe, do you want to rest a little?"
The concert was actually quite close to home, so there was no need to deal with jet lag, and Wu Yunxi wasn't that tired right now. It was just that sitting on a plane always felt a little uncomfortable.
"I want to take a shower."
Wu Yunxi quickly decided to relax. After getting out, she was looking at her phone when she remembered something she'd seen on the plane and opened it.
"Oppa, I found something interesting. Do you want to watch it with me?"
Wu Yunxi didn't say it was a video from Kwon Ji-yong's concert, but even if she hadn't said it, it was clear when she clicked on it.
The author of the clip actually replayed the clip several times where he'd found it. While there's no official confirmation, others, after listening repeatedly, have assumed the same meaning.
Kwon Ji-yong noticed that the video Wu Yunxi clicked on was from his concert, and even the song he was playing was foreshadowing his proposal. Unsure of what to say, he pretended to listen calmly.
But Wu Yunxi couldn't fail to see the truth, and simply chose not to expose Kwon Ji-yong immediately.
After the song ended, Wu Yunxi asked the question she wanted to ask. Initially, Wu Yunxi wanted to wait and see, but that's simply not her character. Clearly curious, she chose not to ask immediately, only to receive an answer. This has always been out of character for Wu Yunxi.
"So, Oppa, as the fans have analyzed, wants to propose to me?"
Wu Yunxi asked directly, her eyes fixed on Kwon Ji-yong, afraid to miss even the slightest hint of his expression.
"Yeah~ I've got a little romantic plan for Babe at every concert. I just want to see if she can figure it out."
Seeing Wu Yunxi's direct question, Quan Zhilong didn't hide it any further. Even though he was still fussing about proposing, he kept his other plans secret from Wu Yunxi, waiting for her to discover them on her own.
"How interesting!"
Wu Yunxi's immediate reaction was this. She smiled and promised Quan Zhilong that she would definitely find out, without asking him to tell her immediately.
She believed Quan Zhilong must have made many preparations, and revealing them would be a waste of his original plan. And even if she knew the final outcome, she still had to discover the whole process of Quan Zhilong's proposal herself. It was truly fascinating to think about it, and Wu Yunxi even felt like she would remember these things Quan Zhilong did for the rest of her life.
"Then keep an eye on me."
"I'll always be watching over you, Oppa!"
After saying this, Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong took a short break, and by the time their manager arrived, they had already packed up. They opened the door and walked out, and the manager led someone to the concert venue. Wu Yunxi quickly found a seat where she wouldn't disturb anyone else.
In this setting, Quan Ji-yong wouldn't ask Wu Yunxi to do anything; just turning around and being able to see her was enough to make him happy. After rehearsal, they could eat together, and Wu Yunxi would be right beside him while he finished putting on his makeup and waited for the show to begin.
Wu Yunxi had initially thought she'd just watch from backstage, but Quan Ji-yong invited her to the audience. Although he didn't say it directly, Wu Yunxi probably understood that what Quan Ji-yong wanted to express could only be
seen from the front. With this in mind, Wu Yunxi had hoped to quickly decipher the mystery Quan Ji-yong had left for her. But watching a concert, especially one as captivating as Quan Ji-yong's, seemed to leave her completely distracted. She even joined in when others sang along.
In fact, Wu Yunxi had wanted to sing along the first time she saw Quan Ji-yong's concert, but with both parents and elders present, she felt a little embarrassed and could only sing silently in her mind. This time she was alone, and when she was singing, she didn't need to think about her image at all.
It was this frank performance that allowed Wu Yunxi to successfully blend in with the fans. She even shouted "Jilong Oppa! Saranghae!" with the fans.
When Wu Yunxi shouted this, Quan Jilong happened to be spreading his food over here, and he heard it very clearly, revealing a super bright smile.
This smile was projected on the big screen, making the fans who were already screaming with excitement even more excited.
Wu Yunxi looked super immersed in the whole concert, and by the end of the concert, her throat felt a little hoarse.
Wu Yunxi waited until the audience had left and went backstage, where she found herself directly in Quan Zhilong's lounge. Without saying a word, she grabbed a bottle of water and, after several gulps, finally recovered.
"Oppa! What a great concert!"
Wu Yunxi was utterly sad to see it end. However, she had seen Quan Zhilong backstage before, and she knew Quan Zhilong was practically exhausted after the entire concert. Hearing Wu Yunxi's praise, Quan Zhilong smiled happily.
Afterward, the group went to eat before returning to the hotel.
With some time left before the next concert, Quan Zhilong didn't buy a flight for the next day, planning to spend two days with Wu Yunxi before flying back home. The reporters who had been waiting at the airport the next day for Quan Zhilong's return didn't get to take any photos until they saw headlines online like, "Quan Zhilong travels abroad with his girlfriend after the concert!" They could only sigh in frustration. But the photos still had to be taken.
So after staking out the airport for a few more days, they successfully took a photo of G-Dragon and his girlfriend returning to China. Although the photo wouldn't fetch much, he could still earn quite a bit by posting it online.
Wu Yunxi, who had been hanging out with G-Dragon for two days, had forgotten about the small design she had to discover during the concert. So when G-Dragon was holding her hand and leading her out of the airport, she was still looking at her phone with one hand, trying to see if any fans had noticed so she could quickly find out what G-Dragon had done.
Of course, G-Dragon saw the reporters, but he didn't really care. Moreover, in this situation, the reporters couldn't say anything inappropriate, so they just let it go.
It was G-Dragon's assistant who came to pick up Wu Yunxi and G-Dragon. Because he hadn't driven to the airport, the two people had to wait for someone to pick them up, and so they had to wait for a while. When the assistant drove up and saw G-Dragon and Wu Yunxi already waiting there, his expression froze.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I was about to leave, but I had something else arranged. I'm late and I kept you waiting."
The assistant quickly explained why he was late. Quan Zhilong smiled and shook his head to say that it didn't matter. Then he pulled Wu Yunxi into the car.
"Let's go."
