Chapter 50: The Twenty-Fourth Day of Our Relationship When I woke up,
Kwon Ji-yong was still asleep next to me, though he was almost awake. Wu Yunxi's slight movement woke him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw her sitting there.
"Oppa, let's have hot pot tonight!"
Wu Yunxi's first thought after waking was to think about what to eat. But under the streetlights, she saw it was snowing, and her initial thoughts of going out for dinner were dismissed. But then, hot pot suddenly occurred to her.
I'd seen a quote somewhere: "Snowy days go well with hot pot." Hmm, it seemed like it was cold outside, so hot pot seemed like a perfect time.
"Okay."
They decided to have hot pot, but since they hadn't bought groceries yesterday, they still needed to go to the supermarket beforehand. Luckily, there was a supermarket right outside their residential complex, making it much more convenient. It was just a little more expensive, but for two people with plenty of money, that was acceptable.
Both G-Dragon and Wu Yunxi wore simple long black down jackets. Thinking they were only a short distance apart, they didn't wear masks. However, Wu Yunxi, looking at the snow outside, thought it might be a bit chilly. After a moment's thought, she found a scarf and put it on. G-Dragon found another, similar one, and handed it to him.
After watching G-Dragon put it on, Wu Yunxi felt something was missing. Finally, she found two hats she wanted from the pile and held them out to G-Dragon, saying, "Oppa, pick one?" They
hadn't actually been outside, so they didn't know if it was cold outside. However, Wu Yunxi always felt that snowy days were very cold, and since she wasn't particularly cold, she chose a hat for G-Dragon after choosing one for herself.
G-Dragon didn't actually feel that cold. For winter performances or year-end galas, G-Dragon's clothes weren't particularly warm. While the venue might have air conditioning, the sheer size meant it wasn't very warm.
There's a kind of coldness called "girlfriend thinking you're cold." So, having initially considered not wearing a hat, Wu Yunxi's eyes hinted at him, but he chose a hat he thought looked unique and put it on, comforting himself mentally that it was just a way to style his outfit.
Once fully geared up, facing the blizzard and howling wind outside, Wu Yunxi and Quan Jiyong walked outside hand in hand. Reaching a downstairs storage room, Wu Yunxi opened the door and pulled out a shopping cart. She'd bought it herself, figuring it would come in handy when she had too much to carry home.
Later, after they started dating, Quan Jiyong would often use it to go shopping or pick up packages. There was no need to worry about it being mistaken for supermarket items; Wu Yunxi had made sure it was a different style from the ones sold at the supermarket when she bought it, and she'd painted it in a variety of colors, making it stand out against the white surroundings.
However, since the two of them frequently visited the supermarket while at home, the staff were pretty familiar with them.
Arriving at the supermarket, Wu Yunxi took Quan Jiyong to the vegetable section first, choosing from a vast array of leafy greens. After selecting several, they moved on to the meat section. Besides pork and beef, they also bought some seafood. Seafood is Wu Yunxi's least favorite meat. Aside from shrimp and crab, she generally avoids fish, especially raw ones. So, Quan Jiyong quickly selected a few items, and they went to the checkout together.
Wu Yunxi, by nature, enjoys fresh food, so she doesn't buy too much, only enough for two or three days at most. Quan Jiyong finds this habit beneficial, so he often offers to buy groceries when he's out of groceries at home.
While checking out, Quan Jiyong was recognized by a customer, but thankfully, the customer only came over to ask for an autograph and a photo, without making any unreasonable demands. Before leaving, the customer even wished Quan Jiyong happiness.
This blessing reached Quan Ji-yong's heart. He smiled and raised an eyebrow at Wu Yunxi, his words speaking volumes.
After paying the bill, the two of them pushed the cart home. Luckily, Wu Yunxi had brought back a lot of hot pot base from her previous trip to China, both spicy and non-spicy. Considering Quan Ji-yong's recent work schedule, they ultimately opted for the three-fresh hot pot base. Wu Yunxi took the lead in preparing the dishes, while Quan Ji-yong helped wash and serve the vegetables.
By the time they finally got to eat the hot pot, it was already past seven in the evening. It wasn't too late, just a little later than usual, but such a dinner was truly delightful.
Especially seeing the steaming aroma of the hot pot, Wu Yunxi smiled and clinked her glass with her juice.
"Oppa, let's eat!"
Quan Ji-yong didn't eat much hot pot, but after a few times with Wu Yunxi, he'd fallen in love with it. It was a hassle to prepare, but the eating was pure joy. He even took a photo before eating and posted it to iNS, adding a colorful filter. This left fans completely clueless about what Kwon Ji-yong was posting, leaving them guessing until the truth finally revealed itself.
However, having finished showing off, Kwon Ji-yong ignored the comments and began devouring the meal.
Wu Yunxi ate far more than Kwon Ji-yong. While Kwon Ji-yong was taking photos, she was eating. Compared to Kwon Ji-yong, she rarely did these things. Perhaps it was because she usually took photos with a professional camera that she rarely used her phone.
The meal lasted over two hours, and both of them were so full that Wu Yunxi felt a little guilty. But regardless of the aftermath, at least the eating itself was truly joyful, and she felt warm all over afterward.
However, because they were so full, they both looked at each other and didn't feel like washing the dishes, so they simply went to the living room together. After a short rest, he stood up again and began to slowly clear the table. Quan Zhiyong took the dishes into the kitchen. Aside from the pot, which he had to wash himself, he put everything else in the dishwasher. After adding the detergent, Quan Zhiyong clicked start. After
cleaning up, Wu Yunxi smelled the scent on her body and decided she had to shower; the hot pot smell was too strong.
"Oppa, I'm going to shower,"
Wu Yunxi said, watching Quan Zhiyong sitting on the sofa playing a game. Then, she went into the room to take a shower. Quan Zhiyong came in at this time.
They had agreed to play a video game together that evening, so Quan Zhiyong had just been adjusting the connection between the game console and the TV. Hearing Wu Yunxi say that he was going to shower, he followed in.
"Oppa?"
Wu Yunxi was puzzled by Quan Zhiyong's expression, but seeing that Quan Zhiyong looked like he was about to follow, she smiled helplessly but didn't offer him an invitation.
The two of them seemed to understand each other tacitly, but Quan Zhilong was still worried about something, so he came out very early. In fact, he only took advantage of
Wu Yunxi verbally, and nothing actually happened. After coming out, he helped Wu Yunxi dry her hair first, and then the two began to play games. It was not until he noticed that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening that Quan Zhilong took the initiative to put down the game console, took Wu Yunxi's game console and put it away, turned off the TV, and took Wu Yunxi back to the room to rest.
It must be said that sleeping with two people is much warmer than sleeping alone, especially in this season.
The weather was truly perfect. Wu Yunxi quickly fell asleep in this warm environment, and Quan Jiyong slowly closed his eyes, his hand still patting Wu Yunxi's back.
When she woke up in the morning, Quan Jiyong had already left, as some filming was about to wrap up for the day. Wu Yunxi saw a message from Quan Jiyong on her phone, glanced at it, replied, and then got up and opened the curtains.
The snow had stopped outside, but the ground, trees, and rooftops were all covered in a vast expanse of white, making the view a bit dizzying. After standing by the window for a while, Wu Yunxi went to the bathroom to wash up and change clothes before going to the kitchen to eat the breakfast Quan Jiyong had prepared.
However, today might be even colder than yesterday. She had thought it was fine when she came in this morning, but now, as she ate the already cold breakfast, Wu Yunxi missed the hot pot she had had last night.
The snow was thick outside, and Wu Yunxi actually wanted to go out and play in the snow, but Quan Jiyong had sent her a message earlier, warning her not to. It was because Wu Yunxi went back to the countryside to visit her grandmother some time ago and caught a cold after playing in the snow for a while, which made Quan Zhilong particularly vigilant about this matter.
Thinking of the agreement he made with Quan Zhilong, Wu Yunxi just sighed in his heart, but he didn't intend to deliberately ignore what Quan Zhilong said, and still went to play.
So the sigh was just a sigh in his heart, and he didn't say these words out loud.
After breakfast, Wu Yunxi didn't know what to do. In the end, he was too bored, so he just walked around the room, touching here and looking there, just to find something to do for himself. Unfortunately, Wu Yunxi still didn't succeed in finding an interesting thing to do before Quan Zhilong came home,
so when Quan Zhilong came home, he was greeted with a warm hug from his girlfriend.
