Chapter 60: On the 34th day of dating, Quan Zhilong stood up...

Quan Zhilong stood up, sighed, and said in a deliberately loud voice, "Why did you fall asleep here? It's so cold now. I'd better carry her back to the room." Just saying this, it was impossible for Wu Yunxi to pretend to wake up. But when Quan Zhilong deliberately reached out and touched Wu Yunxi's ticklish spot, the person who was pretending to be asleep suddenly opened his eyes and broke free.

"Oppa!"

After standing up straight, Wu Yunxi called Quan Zhilong a little angrily, but when she saw that Quan Zhilong didn't smile at all, she knew why Quan Zhilong did this. She suddenly felt guilty.

"Oppa~"

She was clearly calling Quan Zhilong, but Wu Yunxi's tone was very different from before. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Kwon Ji-yong's neck, her fingers caressing his tattoos, causing him to wince. His neck was a sensitive spot, and touching it was unbearable.

"Yunxi~"

Wu Yunxi knew it was a sensitive spot; Kwon Ji-yong would sometimes deliberately touch her sensitive spots, just as a little flirtation between lovers.

"Nah~ Did you miss me, Oppa?"

"So you did it on purpose?"

Kwon Ji-yong laughed at Wu Yunxi's delicate question. Normally, Wu Yunxi wouldn't talk like that. She would only speak in a hushed voice when she was being deliberately funny, just like Kwon Ji-yong would sometimes do to tease Wu Yunxi. Their

relationship was clearly the same, neither could say anything, which was why they did it again, because they were so similar in that regard.

"Yeah, I did it on purpose. Will Oppa be mad?"

Wu Yunxi wouldn't argue that she didn't mean it. If it was intentional, it was intentional. Kwon Ji-yong knew it, whether she said it or not. So, instead of saying it wasn't intentional, she might as well just admit it.

"I won't be mad, but there will be a punishment."

Kwon Ji-yong shook his head, confirming that he wasn't angry at all. However, there was a punishment, and Wu Yunxi didn't even need to ask what it was; she felt it the next moment.

The kiss was incredibly intense, leaving Wu Yunxi wanting to say so much to Kwon Ji-yong. But Kwon Ji-yong, sensing Wu Yunxi's affection over the phone, didn't give her the chance. By the time she finally had a chance to speak properly, it was already noon the next day.

Wu Yunxi hadn't expected a man in his thirties to stay up so late. They'd been rehearsing all day, singing and dancing, so exhausted just watching them on TV, but she hadn't expected him to be so energetic even when he got home.

Feeling a little embarrassed at this, Wu Yunxi patted Kwon Ji-yong, who was still asleep beside her.

This small gesture woke Quan Ji-yong up. Wu Yunxi's expression was clearly due to the incident from the previous night. He smiled and hugged Wu Yunxi, while Quan Ji-yong good-temperedly pleaded for mercy, but his expression was anything but.

Time passed, and the atmosphere faded. By the time Wu Yunxi woke up, she no longer wanted to share her feelings with Quan Ji-yong. She was only slightly angry about Quan Ji-yong's excessive behavior the previous night—really just a little. So, while cooking dinner that evening, Wu Yunxi deliberately added some chili peppers to the dish, giving Quan Ji-yong, who wasn't good with spicy food, a taste of what a girl's anger looked like.

Since there wasn't anything particularly important to do lately, Quan Ji-yong still ate a few bites of the food. Seeing Quan Ji-yong's spiciness, Wu Yunxi felt reluctant and offered him the dish without the chili peppers.

"Oppa, you should have this,"

Wu Yunxi said, her expression remaining calm, though she secretly cursed herself for forgiving him so quickly. But, it wasn't a big deal, so after comforting herself like this, Wu Yunxi naturally accepted this behavior.

Quan Zhilong saw Wu Yunxi picking up some food for him and smiled. He knew Wu Yunxi would be reluctant to eat it, so when he started eating, he was thinking of letting Wu Yunxi vent her anger, and it was not a deliberate self-torture at all.

After the two of them had their meal, Quan Zhilong took the initiative to wash the dishes, hoping that Wu Yunxi would no longer care about what happened last night. Sure enough, after Quan Zhilong cleaned up the kitchen and the dishes, Wu Yunxi's expression became natural. They even changed into clothes for going out and prepared to walk around the community to digest the food.

This community is indeed a community where many celebrities live. When Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong were walking downstairs hand in hand, they

saw many celebrities wearing low-key clothes walking by. However, Wu Yunxi didn't know many of them, and Quan Zhilong was a senior, so he didn't take the initiative to go up and say hello, so she pretended not to notice.

Although some artists noticed Kwon Ji-yong, they simply figured it wasn't the right time to approach and disturb him, so they pretended not to notice and walked away. This was probably a tacit understanding among everyone, and they wouldn't delve into the details. While working, they certainly adhered to the rules of seniority, but now was their downtime. Even if they wanted to approach and establish a relationship, they knew it wasn't the right time.

Most people who make it in this industry aren't fools; they just choose to listen or not. There are very few who are so blunt that they can't read your expression. Such people often lose their popularity. Just like when filming variety shows, most are scripted, so you can't say anything casually. While it might attract buzz, it's hard to say whether that buzz is a good thing or a bad thing.

Kwon Ji-yong doesn't really care what others think. When he first debuted, he would have been drawn into a self-righteous cycle based on comments, but not anymore. Especially since Wu Yunxi is endlessly supporting him to just be himself, so when preparing to make a comeback, Quan Zhilong will slowly let go of himself and live his life. Of course, in private, he still doesn't want to be disturbed too much. Quan

Zhilong doesn't care, and Wu Yunxi cares even less. To put it bluntly, it doesn't affect her that much, not to mention whether they will cooperate in the future. Wu Yunxi doesn't say that she will agree to cooperate. Not to mention her current status, she has greater freedom of choice and is not restricted by anyone. Work doesn't mean she has to make money in this area. Even if she doesn't work, the money at home can allow her to live a good life.

After the two took a walk downstairs for a while, they slowly walked home together. There were fewer people walking in the community. In such a cold winter, no one wanted to go out. Wu Yunxi was only because Quan Zhilong was holding her hand all the time, otherwise her hands and feet would have been cold a long time ago.

The speed of returning home became faster. The two of them got on the elevator and went straight to their floors. They opened the door and went in. They originally planned to go out for a while. Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong did not turn off the air conditioner when they went out, so when they walked into the house from outside, they felt very warm. Wu Yunxi subconsciously took off her coat and felt less hot.

Quan Zhilong went into the kitchen and poured out two glasses of water, one warm and one iced. Although Wu Yunxi's habit seemed a bit strange at first, after all, they could drink iced American coffee almost all year round, and Quan Zhilong had the same habit. However, Wu Yunxi preferred warm water, except in the summer.

Although he did not understand, Quan Zhilong would still pour warm water for Wu Yunxi when he poured her water. These were just personal habits, and there was no need to change anything for him.

Quan Ji-yong never saw anything wrong with this. It was the same way when he was in his twenties, dining at concerts in China; restaurants generally only served hot water.

Wu Yunxi finally felt better after taking a sip of water. Even so, after finishing her drink, Wu Yunxi sat by the window and looked out at the night.

The neighborhood was lit by many streetlights. While not as bright as during the day, it still offered a unique view. Not to mention, it had just started snowing on the way home, and Wu Yunxi loved snowy days.

Sitting by the window, she wrapped herself in a blanket and leaned into Quan Ji-yong's embrace. The two of them said nothing, quietly watching the snowflakes drift outside. It wasn't until Wu Yunxi yawned that Quan Ji-yong reminded her to go to bed.

Since she enjoyed watching for a while longer, what was the harm? Quan Ji-yong didn't find it boring. Instead, with Wu Yunxi's company, he slowly began to appreciate the scenery outside the window. Before, when he was alone, he would have felt truly lonely.

After coaxing her to take a shower, Quan Zhilong also took a shower and changed clothes outside, then went into the kitchen to pour milk before returning to the room.

Wu Yunxi didn't have to drink milk before going to bed at night, but after taking a shower, she always felt comfortable drinking a glass of milk, so every time Wu Yunxi took a shower, Quan Zhilong would take the initiative to pour a glass of milk.

Although he didn't quite understand it, after accompanying Wu Yunxi to drink too much, Quan Zhilong did develop this habit.

After drinking the milk, Quan Zhilong took the cup back to the kitchen, rinsed the cup, and then returned to the room. Wu Yunxi was sitting on the bed, holding a tablet and watching a variety show that she hadn't watched before. When she heard the door open, she looked up.

"Oppa, come here~"
