Chapter 47: Day 21 of the Relationship. Since they were already out...

since they were already out shopping, even though they were shopping alone, Wu Yunxi chose to eat out before returning. Unexpectedly, Quan Zhilong came back even later than her. It could be said that he had been filming all day, and he could only text Wu Yunxi during his breaks.

Seeing Quan Zhilong leaning back on the sofa, looking a little tired, Wu Yunxi felt a little distressed. But she couldn't bring herself to quit working. She simply changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to pour Quan Zhilong a glass of warm water.

"Oppa, are you tired?"

"Yunxi, you're back? The workload has been quite tiring lately."

Quan Zhilong no longer tried to hide his emotions and fatigue in front of Wu Yunxi, but he also didn't vent his emotions recklessly and hurt her, so the two of them actually handled this aspect quite well.

"Then give our hard-working Zhilong Oppa a big, warm hug!"

With this, Wu Yunxi walked over to Quan Zhilong and pulled him into her arms. Because Quan Zhiyong was sitting on the sofa and Wu Yunxi was standing, their embrace felt more like a mother giving encouragement to her child, a comforting gesture. However, this position didn't last long, as Quan Zhiyong emerged from Wu Yunxi's embrace, his ears reddening.

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard today too. Come sit for a while?"

Quan Zhiyong felt a little embarrassed. He was clearly several years older than Wu Yunxi, yet it was Wu Yunxi who usually soothed him.

It was obvious that Quan Zhiyong was shy, but Wu Yunxi didn't expose it. She obediently sat down beside him and hydrated herself with the water cup she had placed on the coffee table. He hadn't drunk much water all afternoon while shopping today, and since he wasn't a big coffee drinker, he didn't buy any to quench his thirst. He usually ignored this issue when he was busy, but now he couldn't.

"Oppa, after you finish filming the music video, let's go see those kids together."

Wu Yunxi was always treated like a child at home, so when she met these slightly different children, she took on the attitude of an elder. Especially since she was given so much love at home, she felt so inspired to share her care and love with the other children.

From the first time Quan Ji-yong met Wu Yunxi, it was clear that Wu Yunxi truly lived in an environment full of love. While her social and work experiences had helped her grow, she was also thoughtful and considerate in many ways that

children who hadn't grown up in such an environment wouldn't notice.

Of course, besides being kind and well-intentioned, Wu Yunxi also held grudges, so she wouldn't just silently endure being bullied.

"Okay, I've asked my agent to prepare some gifts for the children,"

Quan Ji-yong readily agreed. However, he had work to do in the next few days, so they had just agreed in advance. The exact date of the visit depended on the specific circumstances.

The two of them leaned against each other on the sofa, their bodies close to each other, talking about their recent plans and what they wanted to do. Wu Yunxi had basically finished her work for the year because the Chinese New Year was approaching, so she had more time than Quan Zhiyong.

"By the way, Oppa, grandma is out of the hospital. I plan to go back to see her. I'll be in the countryside for the next two days."

Wu Yunxi didn't want to go to the MV shooting, and since she had received a phone call today about this, she thought about it and decided to go back to the countryside to see her grandma first.

"Of course you can, but it's a pity that I have work and can't go with you."

Although he was reluctant, it was human nature, and Quan Zhiyong could still understand him.

The next morning when Quan Zhiyong woke up, Wu Yunxi got up with him. She was going to go to the countryside later, but she still wanted to have breakfast with Quan Zhiyong, otherwise they would not see each other for several days, and she felt a little reluctant when she thought about it.

Quan Zhilong understood Wu Yunxi's feelings, so that morning, they both ate very slowly. However, being slow wouldn't change anything, so when Quan Zhilong's agent called to urge them, they finished breakfast around the same time. They left together

, took the elevator to the basement, and Quan Zhilong saw the other person off to the car. He watched it drive away before getting in his agent's car and heading to the filming location.

After reaching the countryside, Wu Yunxi drove directly back home. She arrived a bit late, and several cars were already parked near her home. She had to find a suitable spot to park before getting out and heading home.

Before she even reached the house, she could hear several people talking inside. Grandma was also talking, though her voice was muted due to her illness.

When Wu Yunxi pushed open the door and entered, she was met with stares. But once they saw who was coming, the elders smiled and invited her to sit down.

Wu Yunxi looked around, greeting everyone. Besides her relatives, there were also neighbors.

This was a plus in the countryside; neighbors generally interacted with each other, unlike in the city where people didn't even exchange a few words.

"Hello, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Auntie, Uncle, and all the aunts."

After greeting them all in one breath, Wu Yunxi felt like her social anxiety was about to flare up. She simply retreated to the corner. Of course, some people would be offended, but before she could say anything, Wu Yuzi glanced at her and quieted her down.

Wu Yunxi walked over to sit down beside her grandmother and quietly inquired about her current situation. After learning that she only needed to take good care of herself and go for a few follow-up checkups, Wu Yunxi felt a sense of relief.

However, despite understanding the situation, Wu Yunxi didn't choose to leave immediately when she saw so many elders present, even though she didn't particularly enjoy the surroundings. Wu Yunxi's grandmother, noticing her discomfort, patted her hand.

"You must be tired from driving all this way here. Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

she offered, offering an explanation and allowing Wu Yunxi to escape the surroundings.

However, because the noise was quiet, few people noticed. Seeing this, Wu Yunxi's aunt deliberately echoed Wu Yunxi's grandmother's words loudly, giving Wu Yunxi a legitimate reason.

"Yes, yes, it's really tiring to drive all the way here. Go get some rest first."

She pulled Wu Yunxi to her feet, said a word to the others, and then walked out. Only

after being dragged outside did Wu Yunxi's aunt let go of Wu Yunxi's hand.

"Even if you don't like the environment, there's no need to force yourself to stay. Go get some rest now. I'll call you for lunch at noon."

Wu Yunxi, who was being pushed away by her aunt, turned her head and said to her aunt, "Aunt, I'm not a child anymore. Don't think so much."

"Okay, okay, you're not a child anymore. Yunxi has a job now, but in our eyes, you're still the Yunxi who needs our care."

Wu Yunxi's aunt patted Wu Yunxi's shoulder and smiled, echoing Wu Yunxi's words. However, her words and her actions were completely different.

Seeing Wu Yunxi enter the room, she returned to the room she had just been in, ready to stay for a while before finding a reason to ask the other elders to leave.

After all, patients need rest, don't they?

Although she'd been sent to her room, Wu Yunxi had actually rested well the previous night and wasn't feeling sleepy at all. She sat on the floor, playing with her phone and texting Quan Zhiyong to let him know she'd arrived home.

Time flies when she's on her phone. Wu Yunxi, who had been planning to help with the meal, hadn't noticed when the elders called her out for dinner.

This made her feel a little embarrassed for a moment, but after a few pleasantries from the elders, she finished her meal with a smile and went to check on her grandmother.

Grandma, unable to move much, had taken the meal into her room to eat, with her mother also eating.

"Our little Yunxi, have you finished your meal?"

Grandma Wu noticed Wu Yunxi entering and waved with a smile.

"Come on, come to Grandma."

Grandma had taken care of Wu Yunxi for a long time when she was little, so the two of them had a very close relationship.

"Grandma, my mom," Wu Yunxi said,

smiling as she walked over to sit down next to Grandma Wu and greeted the elders.

"Yunxi, have you eaten enough?"

Grandma Wu had just finished her meal and was still feeling a little unwell, so she ate less. However, she was still very concerned about her child's diet, even though it wasn't like her own. Few people go hungry; only those who skip meals deliberately try to lose weight.

"I'm full, Grandma,"

she said, playfully patting her belly. Although Wu Yunxi's mother had grown accustomed to Wu Yunxi's behavior, she still frowned when she got naughty. It wasn't a matter of discomfort, but rather a work-related issue.

If someone else did this, she would have spoken out loud. But seeing her daughter act this way, besides a little discomfort, she felt a surge of pride in her adorable daughter.

"That's good. Was the guy who came to see me the other day Yunxi's boyfriend?"

Grandma Wu rarely minced words, so when she remembered this, she took the initiative to ask Wu Yunxi.

"Yes, grandma. He's still very handsome!"

Wu Yunxi thought of Quan Zhilong's serious look when he came over those few days and thought he was really cute.
