Chapter 40: The Fourteenth Day of Their Relationship. After lunch...

after lunch, the two chose not to go out. Instead, they turned on the movie they hadn't finished. This reminded Quan Zhilong of Wu Yunxi's illness two days prior, and his attention was immediately diverted.

Although Wu Yunxi hadn't coughed much that day, he figured she was almost well. Even so, Quan Zhilong suddenly stood up and poured her a cup of hot water. Wu Yunxi, who had been concentrating on watching the movie, was startled by Quan Zhilong's sudden action, but she quickly recovered and patted Quan Zhilong, admitting her shock. She

simply took the hot water Quan Zhilong poured for her and held it in her hand, slowly feeling her palm warm.

She could no longer fully concentrate on the movie. Wu Yunxi would take a sip of water, glance at Quan Zhilong, then take another sip of water and watch the movie again. These actions were so obvious that Quan Zhilong couldn't pretend to be oblivious. He could only move closer to Wu Yunxi, finally hugging her in his arms, and finally relaxing completely.

Wu Yunxi had grown accustomed to Quan Ji-yong's behavior. It wasn't so much habit as liking it. If she didn't like it, she'd instinctively reject it. But when it came to Quan Ji-yong, she rarely refused.

Neither of them was paying attention during the movie, their focus too focused on each other. By the end, they had no idea what had happened. Wu Yunxi was already dizzy from Quan Ji-yong's kiss, and seeing Quan Ji-yong's expression was incredibly shy, she couldn't compare to Quan Ji-yong in that regard.

After the movie, they simply turned off the screen projection. Wu Yunxi, who had been a little groggy, felt much more awake. However, with the snow still piling up outside and the weather being cold for the past two days, they stayed home, each

doing their own thing.

When there was nothing else to do, Wu Yunxi remembered to clean up the house. Quan Ji-yong, who had been sitting nearby doing some work, saw Wu Yunxi, who had been lying on the sofa playing with her phone, suddenly stand up and connect her phone to the Bluetooth at home. Curious, he stood up too.

Wu Yunxi was seen walking around alone, taking things from one place to another, and then putting things from there to the other side. After a while, she went to the drawer and took out a garbage bag. Soon, she had collected a lot of garbage. Most of it was clothes.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Quan Zhilong was a little confused by Wu Yunxi's actions. Although he had more clothes than Wu Yunxi, he rarely threw clothes away. Even if he didn't wear them, he would just put them in a more corner. In this respect, Wu Yunxi was completely different from Quan Zhilong. For her, clothes that hadn't been worn in a year meant she had never thought of wearing them again, so she would pack them up and throw them away when the urge struck her.

"Huh? Oppa, what's wrong?"

Wu Yunxi was so focused on cleaning that she forgot Quan Zhilong was still in her house. She even overlooked this when she was packing and moving things. When she heard Quan Zhilong asking her a question, Wu Yunxi realized what was going on.

"Why did you pack out all these clothes?"

"Huh? These clothes?" Wu Yunxi glanced down at the clothes on the floor, then at Quan Zhiyong, and laughed. "These are clothes I don't wear. I love buying clothes so much. I have clothes I wear, but every time the season changes, I find all sorts of excuses to buy a lot of clothes. As a result, there are a lot of clothes that I never wear. I loved last year's clothes and the clothes from the year before when I bought them, but I won't wear them this year. Anyway, if I don't wear them, it will feel crowded in the closet, and it would be a shame to throw them away. So I just have to be resolute and pack them out. When I see if they fit, I'll send them to the orphanage. If they don't, I'll just throw them away."

Wu Yunxi said she had some compassion, but not much. She wouldn't go out of her way to check on the children in the orphanage, but she did think about them. Of course, she wouldn't send any clothes that didn't fit there. Besides this, Wu Yunxi also bought books and gave them to them. She really loved books, and she couldn't bear to throw away the books at home, so she just bought new ones and gave them to them.

For her, this wasn't charity; it was simply doing what she could do. It wasn't difficult, and it wasn't something she'd done deliberately.

"Oh, I have some, too."

Kwon Ji-yong usually makes donations, but details like this rarely come to mind. More often than not, he chooses to give money. Of course, when making a donation, he also investigates the recipient's situation to see if they might be using the donation to embezzle the money. For one thing, Kwon Ji-yong's time is limited, and visiting orphanages or other places to offer condolences isn't practical.

"Oppa, you have very few clothes to donate. They're all brand-name items, which really aren't suitable for those children."

Wu Yunxi rejected Kwon Ji-yong's offer without a second thought. If some of his more enthusiastic fans knew, they might question the children who bought Kwon Ji-yong's clothes. Alternatively, children of that age simply aren't suitable for wearing brand-name clothes. It's not that they don't deserve them, but that they're inappropriate.

Wu Yunxi pays special attention to these aspects when choosing clothes to donate. She won't choose anything that's inappropriate for her children. Fortunately, although she has a wide selection of brand-name clothes, she also enjoys shopping. She rarely wears the clothes she buys, and sometimes only tries them on once the day she buys them.

"So what can I do?"

Quan Zhilong, watching Wu Yunxi's busyness, wanted to help.

"Then help me sort the clothes by season."

Wu Yunxi thought for a moment and asked Quan Zhilong for help. When sorting clothes, regardless of the season, Wu Yunxi would take out all the clothes and pack them together, deciding whether to throw them away or donate them. Of course, once everything is packed, Wu Yunxi would also take the time to buy some other items and bring them to the orphanage.

"Okay, I'm good at this, so leave it to me."

Quan Zhiyong happily accepted the task. The two of them smiled and continued to clean up. Hours passed unnoticed. They didn't feel tired at all, but when they felt hungry, they looked at the time. It was already past six in the afternoon, and since it was winter, it was almost dark outside.

Wu Yunxi slowly stopped what she was doing, but Quan Zhiyong continued to pack clothes and shoes.

Wu Yunxi wouldn't donate her shoes; the ones she picked out were mostly destined for the trash. Every time she saw how many clothes she had to throw away, she thought about buying fewer clothes next time, but once she went shopping, it was impossible not to buy anything.

"Oppa, take a break. We'll continue after dinner."

Wu Yunxi said, and she went into the kitchen to prepare a simple dinner. Although it was simple, it still consisted of three dishes and a soup, but they were all quick and easy, and the rice was cooked while they were cooking. Quan Zhiyong sat by the

kitchen door with Wu Yunxi. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but as soon as he entered, Wu Yunxi rushed to the door. Wu Yunxi said that if she was not in a hurry, she would ask Quan Zhilong to help. But at this time when she was already very hungry, Wu Yunxi felt that if there was one more person in the kitchen, it would be a hindrance.

So, sometimes, Wu Yunxi really wasn't very romantic, completely devoid of any sense of romance. However, Quan Ji-yong had grown accustomed to Wu Yunxi's ever-changing attitude. Despite her frequent changes, she rarely spoke emotionally to him. When they disagreed, they would speak directly, sharing any discomfort they felt, to avoid irreparable misunderstandings. Quan Ji

-yong didn't see anything wrong with this, so even after being kicked out of the kitchen, he still pulled up a stool and sat by the door, watching Wu Yunxi.

After seeing Wu Yunxi turn off the stove, Quan Ji-yong quickly stood up and took the dishes to the table. Wu Yunxi, still washing her hands, smiled at Quan Ji-yong's actions. After grabbing the bowl and chopsticks and filling them with rice, she followed him out of the kitchen.

The two worked all afternoon, feeling no fatigue while cooking, but feeling quite tired once they stopped. They had also eaten a very full dinner. Quan Ji-yong had been on a diet, but tonight he'd eaten so much that he'd overindulged. Wu Yunxi smiled and urged Quan Ji-yong to clear the dishes and wash them.

This was a tacit understanding between the two of them. It was rare for them to cook at home, as they often ate out together. Usually, when they ate at home, the cook wasn't responsible for cleaning up, so it was a kind of division of labor.

However, while Quan Zhilong was washing the dishes, Wu Yunxi would chat with him. After cleaning up, Wu Yunxi didn't sit on the sofa but sat on the floor to determine which clothes to throw away and which to donate.

Once she decided on the clothes to donate, she would wash them again and dry them before taking them.

It was a small habit of hers. Although she said it was a charity, Wu Yunxi didn't want her charity to lead her into any bad situations. It wasn't that she wanted to portray others as bad. Although she was spoiled since childhood, her older siblings, parents, and elders all told her that not all good deeds are rewarded, and she had even witnessed this during her travels.

Therefore, Wu Yunxi was particularly attentive in this regard, which was why she didn't agree with Quan Zhilong's donation of her clothes. Not all fans were like that, but there were always some.

"Okay, I'm going to get back to cleaning!"
