Chapter 43: Seventeenth Day of Love. Although she said this...

although she said it was so difficult, Wu Yunxi still pursed her lips as she watched Quan Zhilong quickly master the puzzle, secretly complaining that his words and actions were completely different. However, she was still looking forward to seeing Quan Zhilong's expression when they finished the puzzle together.

So she quickly sat down and began to work on it, forgetting that the complete picture was prepared for easier assembly. Quan Zhilong had already seen it.

However, Quan Zhilong still didn't express his deep feelings to Wu Yunxi.

The photo was taken from a fixed position, so that both of them could be included in the frame. However, when she saw the photo, Quan Zhilong could still recall the topic they had discussed that day, and it also allowed them to get to know each other better during this trip.

At the beginning of the puzzle, the two of them would occasionally chat, talking about previous events, their shopping trip, and Quan Zhilong would also talk about what happened at work today. These are all ordinary little things, but for two people in love, sharing their lives without each other is a romantic memory.

"Oppa, while shopping today, I saw something that would suit you perfectly. It's women's, but I bought it anyway."

Wu Yunxi, still making no progress on the puzzle, remembered something she'd bought for someone and casually mentioned it. Quan Zhilong, on the other hand, said he'd found some delicious boxed lunches at work today and would take Wu Yunxi to the store to try them next time.

"Okay. Oppa, come shopping with me next time."

Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong rarely went shopping together, mostly when they were abroad. Few people would recognize Quan Zhilong immediately, or perhaps there weren't so many media following them, not to mention Quan Zhilong's disguises. But Wu Yunxi also remembered Quan Zhilong's excellent taste. While he wasn't exactly a complete stylist, there were some clothes he wouldn't try at first sight. But Quan Ji-yong would take that piece and meticulously put it together for Wu Yunxi, letting her try it on.

Although she was initially a little resistant, once she put it on, she realized it looked really good and had its own unique style. It felt like it was her style the moment she put it on, but Wu Yunxi couldn't believe it was anything she'd try on.

"No problem, stylist Quan will choose the clothes for you then."

Quan Ji-yong was even more enthusiastic about dressing up than Wu Yunxi, especially for her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought her a pair of beautiful clothes whenever he saw one. As a result, most of Wu Yunxi's clothes came from Quan Ji-yong, while

Quan Ji-yong would only occasionally buy a few pieces when shopping with friends. But they both enjoyed it, so when others mentioned it, they would just exchange a silent look, smile, and offer no explanation.

As the puzzle progressed, both of them fell silent. Only occasionally, when they felt like relaxing, they would look up and see the person next to them, and a smile would break out. They simply found the scene so beautiful.

With Quan Ji-yong joining them, the puzzle went much faster, especially when Wu Yunxi hadn't figured out any new pieces. Quan Ji-yong was actually much faster than her. She even had a few pieces already set aside, but expecting to finish them all by tonight was unrealistic.

When Wu Yunxi saw she was struggling, she looked up at Quan Ji-yong's concentration, paused, and moved to his side, watching him work intently.

"Oppa, aren't you getting bored?"

Wu Yunxi asked curiously, because she would have gotten bored if she had been working on the puzzle alone for too long.

"No, is this a gift for me?"

Quan Ji-yong spoke to Wu Yunxi without looking up, searching for the right puzzle piece.

"Yeah, but I'm really not very good at it, and I lack patience for it, so I haven't made much progress yet."

Wu Yunxi's self-deprecating way of chatting successfully made Quan Jiyong laugh.

"It doesn't matter, as long as one person in the family is good at it."

Wu Yunxi's weakness happened to be Quan Jiyong's strength, and since Wu Yunxi had brought up the topic, Quan Jiyong naturally said this.

The words left both of them stunned.

"Oppa, are you proposing to me?"

Quan Jiyong's words were somewhat ambiguous. They could be interpreted as casual remarks, or with more thought, as a proposal. Unfortunately, others might take it as the first meaning, but Wu Yunxi, having imagined their future together, would immediately think more deeply.

"Well, not really. But I also want to have a better life with Yunxi."

Quan Jiyong said that his proposal would not be so hasty. Of course, he had thought about it, so when Wu Yunxi asked directly, he would answer directly.

Although she knew that what she proposed was probably not true, Wu Yunxi was still a little disappointed when she heard Quan Zhilong say that. But after she understood what Quan Zhilong meant, she felt very happy again. At least she was not the only one performing a one-man show, right?

"Yawn~"

Wu Yunxi yawned subconsciously. The puzzle took up too much of her energy, especially after a whole day of shopping. She was really tired. After noticing Wu Yunxi's movements, Quan Zhilong stopped what he was doing.

"Do you want to take a break?"

After spending more time with Wu Yunxi, Quan Zhilong also learned to be straightforward when talking to Wu Yunxi. Neither of them would think too much about what the other said, and repeated guesses might lead to wrong guesses.

"Yeah. I'm really a little sleepy."

Wu Yunxi would not force herself to stay up late. When she was tired and sleepy, she would naturally choose to rest.

"Then let me clean up a bit while you take a shower, okay?"

Just because he didn't stay the night last night doesn't mean he won't stay tonight either. Even if they didn't do anything, Kwon Ji-yong found just being in the same environment with Wu Yunxi a joyful, wholehearted delight.

"Sure, Oppa, do you want to sleep with me?"

Wu Yunxi had been asking this question every night since they'd been traveling together, though Kwon Ji-yong often refused. Wu Yunxi considered intimacy normal between lovers, so while she might be a little shy, she'd still speak up.

"Yes, it's so cold today, and we'll be warmer together in bed."

He gave Wu Yunxi a small wink, his playful expression making her smile. He looked nothing like the puzzle-solving she'd just been feeling.

"Then I'll wait for the big star Kwon to warm my bed~"

It was truly adorable.

Kwon Ji-yong sighed inwardly, but echoed Wu Yunxi's question. After watching Wu Yunxi enter the room, he returned to his own home and prepared to take a shower before going over

.

Wu Yunxi also has a bathroom at home, but since she lives alone, she only built a large bathroom for showering during renovations. The guest bathroom outside is only for small things, not for showering.

So if both of them need to shower, they have to take turns. But thankfully, it's next door, so they can go home and shower before going back. After all, the security of this community is guaranteed, otherwise not many celebrities would choose to live here. Although the annual property management fees are expensive, there's a reason for the high cost.

When Wu Yunxi came out of the shower, she saw that the puzzle pieces on the floor had been put away. But unlike Wu Yunxi, they hadn't just been thrown back into the box. Instead, they had been carefully organized so that they could easily take them out when they needed to do the puzzle next time.

Just as Quan Zhilong sat down on the sofa, he heard the door open. He turned around and saw Wu Yunxi approaching, towel in hand, her hair still wet.

"Come on, come on, let me help you blow dry your hair."

Knowing that Quan Zhiyong would be here, Wu Yunxi didn't blow dry her hair, figuring Quan Zhiyong would definitely do it for her.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Oppa."

Although she said thank you, Wu Yunxi walked a lot more briskly when she heard Quan Zhiyong say that. She even quickly pulled out her hair dryer from the coffee table drawer and handed it to Quan Zhiyong.

"You!"

Quan Zhiyong saw Wu Yunxi's behavior and couldn't help but think that Wu Yunxi was doing it on purpose. But even if it was intentional, it was Quan Zhiyong's own indulgence. So, with a smile, he took the hair dryer and expertly helped blow dry her hair.

"Hey, thanks, Oppa. My hair is really a little long, and it's a hassle to blow dry it myself."

Wu Yunxi really didn't like blow drying her hair. This summer, she even tried a short haircut because her hair grew so fast. Now it was down to her shoulder blades. In this weather, she can't not blow her hair, so every time after taking a shower, Wu Yunxi would prepare herself mentally for a long time before she slowly started to blow her hair.

Of course, if Quan Zhilong was around, Wu Yunxi would choose to be lazy. Quan Zhilong would also indulge her behavior, but he would not accept Wu Yunxi going to bed without blowing her hair.

After the unpaid work of blowing hair was finished, Quan Zhilong thought about it and still felt that it was not right, so he collected a certain amount of money from Wu Yunxi, and the two of them had a passionate kiss. The novice Wu Yunxi was completely controlled by the veteran Quan Zhilong in the whole rhythm, and they were both breathless when it was over.
