Chapter 54: The 28th Day of Dating, Everything is Packed Up...
Chapter 54: Day 28 of the Relationship: After packing everything up...
After packing everything up, Wu Yunxi couldn't hold on any longer. She was already incredibly sleepy, so she simply washed her hands. She even went into the bedroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, skipping the shower. She changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed, ready to rest.
Quan Zhilong followed Wu Yunxi and cleaned himself up. However, due to his mysophobia, even though he was truly exhausted, Quan Zhilong insisted on taking a shower before leaving. Seeing Wu Yunxi already asleep in bed, he didn't bother to wake her. He quietly climbed into bed, cuddled her into his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.
When they woke up the next day, Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong went shopping together. It was rare for both of them to have such leisure time. It was a pity that Quan Zhilong was still recognized. Fortunately, no one bothered them too much, but the media couldn't stop it, and it was eventually posted online.
Both Quan Zhilong and Wu Yunxi were somewhat frustrated, but thankfully, they managed to book a late-night red-eye flight the next morning, heading directly to Bhutan. Bhutan is known as the "happiest country in the world," chosen for its unique reputation. Despite its high population density, it boasts a low tourist population, making it a very suitable destination for living.
However, due to limited transportation, there are no direct flights to Bhutan, forcing them to transfer at an airport in India before reaching the Bhutanese airport. Bhutan's location near the Himalayas, coupled with its proximity to the city, meant it wasn't a bustling metropolis
. When Quan Zhilong and Wu Yunxi booked a room online, their options were limited, and they had to choose the best one. With only three or four days to spare, the country wasn't particularly large, and while there weren't many interesting attractions, they could still enjoy a quiet, isolated existence.
The day after arriving in Bhutan, they packed up and prepared for a ski trip. Winter is a season of abundant snow, and the location is ideal, with several ski resorts.
Fortunately, both of them knew this skill,
but because of the complicated environment, they still had a coach to accompany them while skiing. Tourists here were really rare, and Quan Zhilong basically didn't make any disguises. He lived very comfortably here.
After the skiing activity, Wu Yunxi took Quan Zhilong to a store that many people recommended. As expected, it was a store recommended by many people. At mealtime, there were a lot of people queuing up. As soon as Wu Yunxi entered, many people stared at her, which made her feel like she was being watched.
But this was almost the same as being watched. Although not many people knew Wu Yunxi, it was different for Quan Zhilong, who was someone that everyone would know when he was mentioned. Fortunately, there were really not many tourists in this country, and Chinese people were not that excited even if they recognized a celebrity. Most of the time, they saw Quan Zhilong and Wu Yunxi being sweet and loving, and they looked at them with blessing eyes.
Despite this, photos of Kwon Ji-yong and Oh Yun-xi's trip were posted online. This was all thanks to a Chinese tourist who searched for off-the-beaten-path travel destinations on a search engine. She hadn't expected to see Kwon Ji-yong and his girlfriend in such an obscure country. At first, she couldn't recognize them, but after taking a photo from a distance and sending it to a friend in China, they immediately recognized it as Kwon Ji-yong.
Surprised, she posted the photo online without telling other fans which country she was visiting, so that Kwon Ji-yong and Oh Yun-xi wouldn't be bothered by many people.
Unnoticed by either Oh Yun-xi or Kwon Ji-yong, the post went viral online. Kwon Ji-yong's agent, aware of Kwon Ji-yong's trip with his girlfriend, noticed the online news and reluctantly called Kwon Ji-yong to tell him about it. Kwon Ji-yong, who was having dinner with Oh Yun-xi, was surprised when his agent called. However, since there wasn't any special information other than the photo, Kwon Ji-yong said he would leave the matter to his agent.
After much discussion, they decided not to respond and wait for the heat to die down or be replaced by other things.
After hanging up the phone, Quan Zhilong didn't bring up the matter at the dinner table, not wanting it to spoil their mood. Wu Yunxi didn't ask any further questions. Quan Zhilong would tell her everything. At least in these aspects, Wu Yunxi completely trusted Quan Zhilong.
Of course, Quan Zhilong didn't disappoint Wu Yunxi. The two had lived without any secrets since they began dating. Of course, if they didn't want to say something, they would tacitly choose not to ask about it. When the time came, it would come out naturally. This method only worked with Quan Zhilong, because Wu Yunxi was the type of person who couldn't hide anything. At least in front of those close to her, she basically didn't hide anything. She would express her happiness or sadness, and she would speak directly about everything she had experienced and what had happened. There were no secrets at all.
Not to mention Quan Ji-yong's utterly eloquent mouth, so secrets between the two of them simply couldn't be kept; even without asking, they'd soon find out. Of course, Wu Yunxi had already told Quan Ji-yong early on that if someone so good at keeping secrets were to hide a secret one day, it would surely be something significant.
This subtle reminder served as a reminder to Quan Ji-yong. Of course, Wu Yunxi wasn't trying to force anything; it was simply a mixture of trust and fear that sometimes made Wu Yunxi less confident, just as Quan Ji-yong sometimes seemed less confident around her.
Love can breed worry and fear, but it can also instill boundless confidence. Everything has its own two sides, and Wu Yunxi never imagined her relationship would always be smooth sailing, even though they hadn't had any conflicts so far.
However, Wu Yunxi secretly anticipated arguments. Kwon Ji-yong also saw his girlfriend's thoughts and smiled secretly, saying that he was completely happy after actually dating Wu Yunxi. Even his friends said they never thought Kwon Ji-yong would be so love-brained, but it was undeniable that Kwon Ji-yong was happy.
After dinner, while walking back to the hotel with Wu Yunxi, Kwon Ji-yong brought up the incident of being photographed. To be honest, Wu Yunxi didn't have any special reaction, feeling that being photographed was just normal since they'd been together. Sometimes, if Kwon Ji-yong went to a bar or something and Wu Yunxi wasn't photographed, there would be rumors of a breakup between the two.
Kwon Ji-yong mentioned this once on social media, but hasn't responded since. To be honest, only the two people who are together in real life know the details of these things, not to mention that Kwon Ji-yong had already discussed this with Wu Yunxi before going to the bar, and it was just a gathering with friends and work.
The reporter who posted the photo didn't get much traffic, so although he was dissatisfied, he didn't continue to say anything ambiguous. After all, if Wu Yunxi was really unhappy, she would choose to use legal means to protect her rights.
This also made these reporters sometimes dare not write anything boldly, and could only write these ambiguous words.
Wu Yunxi really didn't want to get involved too much in this matter. Of course, if the other party really did something excessive, Wu Yunxi would not just watch it.
So today, when Quan Zhilong mentioned the matter of being photographed, Wu Yunxi really nodded calmly to show that she knew.
However, upon returning to the hotel, Wu Yunxi went to investigate the true story and discovered that it was a fellow tourist who recognized Kwon Ji-yong and posted the photo online, leading to the public's knowledge.
Wu Yunxi wouldn't hold this person responsible. Everyone has the right to express their opinions freely online, and the person wasn't intentionally following them and filming; they simply noticed them while taking their own photos. The photos seemed taken from a considerable distance. Sometimes, Wu Yunxi couldn't help but admire the eyes of these people.
Although the two of them were traveling together, thinking that the place wouldn't be crowded, and not a particularly bustling country, they shouldn't have to disguise themselves. Even though Kwon Ji-yong's outfit, at Wu Yunxi's request, had been changed to matching outfits, there wasn't any disguise involved.
However, Kwon Ji-yong's outfit didn't seem like his style, and even from a distance, he was still recognizable. Perhaps she truly loved him.
"Oppa, it looks like I really love you, really love."
After seeing the photos taken online, Wu Yunxi expressed her heartfelt admiration to Quan Zhilong, who sealed her mouth with a kiss. After the kiss, Quan Zhilong did not let go of Wu Yunxi.
"You and I are true love, true love. Yunxi, don't say that next time."
Even though he knew in his heart that what Wu Yunxi said was different from what he said, Quan Zhilong said that he was very stingy, so that night, Wu Yunxi obediently accepted the punishment. Fortunately, Quan Zhilong did not go too far, and Wu Yunxi was still able to get up the next morning.
