Chapter 37: The Eleventh Day of Love. Waiting until the last...

After the last bottle of potion was gone, Quan Zhilong helped Wu Yunxi to her feet, and together they went to the hospital room where Wu Yunxi's grandmother was. He was worried that Quan Zhilong's visit had disturbed the elders, and it would have been unwise not to visit, knowing that she was hospitalized.

Quan Zhilong had been mentally prepared for this visit, not to mention that their relationship was now public, and visiting a patient was a matter of course. It was something Quan Zhilong had already requested with Wu Yunxi's parents yesterday.

So, when they entered the hospital room, while everyone else's attention was focused on Quan Zhilong, Wu Yunxi's grandmother didn't react much. Rather than a lack of reaction, it was because she had known about the situation in advance that she was able to accept it so quickly.

In Wu Yunxi's grandmother's view, a person's status and position were secondary. What mattered was respect and care, understanding and tolerance, not just status or appearance.

It might seem like Wu Yunxi graduated from a prestigious university, then became a photographer and even found a celebrity boyfriend—truly a "thrifty" person.

Wu Yunxi's family is primarily concerned with whether this person can provide Wu Yunxi with care. Of course, they'll weigh in on what others say; protecting their family is their duty.

Quan Zhilong, however, doesn't realize that his elders are watching closely, carefully assessing his happiness. Even if there are aspects of Wu Yunxi's life that the elders dislike, they won't interfere with his friendships. But this dislike is like dealing with one's own children; there are times when they can be uncomfortable.

This meeting was a chance encounter, introducing each other, with Wu Yunxi acting as the go-between.

After chatting for a while, Quan Zhilong and Wu Yunxi were "sent away," leaving the young people to enjoy themselves. Wu Yunxi's grandmother didn't appreciate the large crowds surrounding them.

Wu Yunxi had recently caught a cold, and everyone knew why Quan Zhilong had come. As elders, they can sometimes be considerate of young couples.

Watching the two depart, Wu Yunxi's grandmother couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just looking at them like this, they're a perfect match."

Wu Yunxi isn't tall. While everyone in her family is of decent height, Wu Yunxi, due to her frail health, hasn't grown much. Even standing next to Quan Ji-yong, they have the cutest height difference.

It's not that exaggerated, but they do look a perfect match.

"Mom, stop talking. I knew Yunxi was sick yesterday, so I drove over straight after work. Even though he's an entertainer, right?"

Quan Ji-yong is an entertainer, but his sincerity towards Wu Yunxi is evident. If he didn't enjoy acting and simply wanted to act, he wouldn't have wasted so much time and money on a trip that might not have any "benefits" for him initially.

However, what will happen in the future depends on how they get along.

The two walked away, unable to hear the elders discussing themselves. However, upon learning that Quan Zhiyong had to drive back to work that afternoon, Wu Yunxi, who had originally wanted to take Quan Zhiyong for a walk, returned to her home.

"Didn't you say you'd take me for a walk?"

Quan Zhiyong was unfamiliar with the area, so he followed Wu Yunxi. He had thought they were just going to wander around and see the village where Wu Yunxi grew up, but as they walked, Wu Yunxi led him back home.

Confused, Quan Zhiyong asked.

"Oppa is leaving this afternoon. I wanted to take him to many places, but I'm worried he'll be too tired at night. Should I take him another time?"

Wu Yunxi explained her thoughts to Quan Zhiyong.

Quan Zhiyong had actually mentioned his departure that afternoon the previous night, but Wu Yunxi was groggy and hadn't listened carefully.

When the two returned home, Wu Yunxi asked for a glass of water. Quan Zhiyong noticed and offered to pour her some. Kwon Ji-yong had already noticed the place to pour the water yesterday, so finding it wasn't difficult. Seeing the many cups on the table, he took a cup he'd used yesterday, filled it with water, and handed it to Wu Yunxi.

"Here, have some water."

"Thanks, Oppa. How about we watch a movie at home this afternoon?"

Wu Yunxi accepted the water and casually mentioned her plans.

"Okay."

He had come to accompany Wu Yunxi in the first place, and Kwon Ji-yong wouldn't refuse anything.

Although it was Wu Yunxi who suggested the movie, halfway through, Kwon Ji-yong noticed that the person sitting next to him had fallen asleep.

He sighed helplessly and glanced at the time again, predicting he wouldn't be able to wait until Wu Yunxi woke up. Kwon Ji-yong gently picked her up and returned to

the room where Wu Yunxi had slept yesterday. After tucking her in, he searched for paper and a pen.

"I have to go back to Seoul. Get some rest. Love you." '

After leaving a note, Quan Zhilong tiptoed out the door, closed the door, and called Wu Yunxi's mother.

"Auntie... yes... I'm going back to Seoul... Yunxi has fallen asleep, and I may need you to come back to take care of her... Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

It's not that Wu Yunxi can't be left alone at home, but she is sick now, and Quan Zhilong is worried if something happens to her at home and no one knows.

Wu's mother was already preparing to come back, and she received a call from Quan Zhilong at the hospital gate. She felt relieved to know that Wu Yunxi had rested, but Quan Zhilong's move really made her feel very good. After returning home, she saw Quan Zhilong sitting on the sofa, and the TV he had been watching was turned off. Quan Zhilong was worried that the noise would affect Wu Yunxi's rest.

Because this house was built relatively recently, little attention was paid to soundproofing back then, and since most families lived together, extra care was required at night. Kwon Ji-yong had lived in a house like this when he was young, but now that he's lived in Seoul, he knows the soundproofing isn't as good. Plus, watching

a movie alone wouldn't be fun; it would be better to wait for Wu Yunxi to return to Seoul and watch the movie together.

So, Kwon Ji-yong was just sitting here waiting for Wu Yunxi's mother to return, catching up on some work. He'd be able to get back to work faster when she got home.

Noticing movement at the door, Kwon Ji-yong turned and saw Mother Wu, standing up.

"Auntie, you're back,"

he said, bowing naturally. These were things his parents had taught him repeatedly since he was little.

"Thank you, Ji-yong. Wait here until I get back."

Mother Wu smiled at Kwon Ji-yong. After a brief exchange, Mother Wu remembered that Kwon Ji-yong was returning to Seoul for work and hurried him back.

"No, no, auntie, I've been nagging you these past two days."

Quan Zhilong didn't think taking care of Wu Yunxi was a hassle. In fact, most of the time it was Wu Yunxi who accommodated his working hours. Although this was normal, Quan Zhilong also felt how much he owed Wu Yunxi.

"No, next time you come over to my house, I'll let Yunxi show you around. You guys are so busy with work, so you could use some time to rest. Ji-yong, didn't you say you had to get back to work? Go back now! Don't delay your work. Drive carefully; the snow hasn't melted yet." "

Then I'll be leaving first. See you next time, Auntie."

Kwon Ji-yong really needed to get back to Seoul as soon as possible. His agent had urged him over the phone. It wasn't that work was about to start, but he needed to get his makeup done beforehand, which also took time. If he didn't hurry, he'd be late. Kwon Ji-yong didn't like being late. Of course, in this industry, playing big shot could easily cause a serious blow to one's career. It's just that these comments no longer affect Kwon Ji-yong. He just doesn't like being late, and he doesn't like others to be late.

He used to be late for makeup, but when it came to work, Kwon Ji-yong was very serious. He didn't do anything perfunctory and was rarely late.

However, Wu Yunxi, who was still asleep, was oblivious to all this. When she woke up, it was almost time for dinner. The living room outside also became lively because tomorrow was a day off and many people came back. One was to see how grandma was doing, and the other was because they heard that Quan Zhiyong was coming. They also wanted to meet him in person, but it was too late when they arrived. Quan Zhiyong had already returned to Seoul.

Many of Wu Yunxi's brothers and sisters were already married. Wu Yunxi, who had been spoiled since childhood, would of course pay attention to whether they were in love or not. Of course, she had also been through this age and knew that if she interfered too much, she would feel uncomfortable, so she did not interfere. She just heard someone coming and wanted to see what was going on.

But it didn't matter if they didn't see him. When they saw Wu Yunxi coming out of the room, their attention was all on Wu Yunxi. In fact, among so many children in the family, Wu Yunxi was the weakest and sickest when she was born. She was really the type that got sick easily since she was a child, so everyone paid more attention to Wu Yunxi.

"Are you awake? We'll have dinner soon. Go wash up first."

Wu Yunxi's second sister saw Wu Yunxi coming out with messy hair, and hurried over to push her back to her room to tidy it up, so as to avoid embarrassment when Wu Yunxi was fully awake.

"I heard from my aunt that you caught a cold. How are you now?" "

Ouni, I'm almost well."

If Wu Yunxi's voice was not still hoarse, Wu Yunxi's sister would probably have believed it.
