Chapter 65: Thirty-Nine Days of Dating. Of course...

Lee Joo Hyuk noticed Kwon Ji Yong's little gesture, but he didn't say anything. He just quietly drank a glass of wine and talked about his recent work schedule and the Lunar New Year. In fact, Kwon Ji Yong and his parents had seen online that Kwon Ji Yong had brought Wu Yun Xi to meet his parents. They knew Kwon Ji Yong, and after all, they were close, so they sometimes used the fact that Kwon Ji Yong had brought his girlfriend home to pressure Lee Joo Hyuk into finding a girlfriend. He

did meet a girl he thought was nice a while ago, but for various reasons, he eventually let go of that excitement.

After Wu Yun Xi sent a message to Kwon Ji Yong, she showered and went to bed. Kwon Ji Yong and Lee Joo Hyuk had been drinking together for over an hour, and finally, exhausted, Kwon Ji Yong stood up, opened the door, then opened Wu Yun Xi's door. He went straight into the kitchen, poured out the hangover soup Wu Yun Xi had mentioned, and brought it to Lee Joo Hyuk.

"Drink it, so you don't have a headache the next morning."

"Oh, has it gotten this bad already?"

Lee Joo Hyuk teased as he accepted the hangover soup from Kwon Ji Yong. He knew full well that Wu Yunxi had prepared it, but he couldn't help but tease, even though he was actually envious and wishing him well.

Kwon Ji Yong and Lee Joo Hyuk were such good friends because, in some ways, they were similar. Just like when he saw Lee Joo Hyuk's relationship going smoothly while he was in a cold war with his girlfriend, their positions were reversed. However, Kwon Ji Yong didn't say much at this point. After watching Lee Joo Hyuk drink the hangover soup, he urged him to take a shower before going to bed, and even readily offered his room to him.

After Lee Joo Hyuk retired, Kwon Ji Yong had already had some hangover soup. He'd also drunk quite a bit and was a bit dizzy, though not as dizzy as Lee Joo Hyuk. After the soup, Kwon Ji Yong didn't even have the energy to clean up the table. He simply closed the door and went into Wu Yunxi's room, showering in the bathroom to avoid the reek of alcohol on the already asleep woman. It was a joke. Why would he sleep with his friend in his own house when he already had a girlfriend to cuddle with? It wasn't like they were that far away.

Wu Yunxi, who had already fallen asleep, had been slightly drowsy when Kwon Ji Yong entered, not to mention the sound of running water in the bathroom. She was simply too sleepy to open her eyes. When Kwon Ji Yong climbed onto the bed and held her, Wu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable in that position and shifted to face Kwon Ji Yong.

A little more sober from the shower, Kwon Ji Yong saw Wu Yunxi staring at him with her eyes open.

"Yunxi?"

In the darkness, he could only vaguely make out Wu Yunxi's silhouette. But Quan Ji-yong felt like Wu Yunxi was watching him.

"Nah~ Oppa, have you had the hangover soup?"

Wu Yunxi was awakened by Quan Ji-yong's voice, still a bit sleepy and dazed, but concerned about Quan Ji-yong's condition.

"Don't worry, I already had some. I'm just too tired to clean up the table yet."

Quan Ji-yong usually cleaned up promptly, but today he was really drunk and tired, thinking of leaving it for tomorrow.

"It's okay. Oppa, get some rest. You can clean up tomorrow after you've rested."

Wu Yunxi didn't think it was a big deal; sometimes, when she didn't feel like cleaning up, she'd just take a break.

"Nah~ Go to sleep."

Quan Ji-yong could clearly sense that Wu Yunxi was getting too sleepy by the end of what she was saying, and she looked completely exhausted.

"Nah~"

Wu Yunxi replied softly, her eyes completely closed. She simply placed a hand on Quan Ji-yong's back and patted him, as if trying to lull him to sleep.

Gwon Ji-yong slowly drifted off to sleep amidst the gentle caress. He didn't know why, but he always seemed to sleep more soundly when Wu Yunxi was by his side, sleeping through the night. He'd even had some hangover soup the night before, so aside from a swollen face when he woke up, he felt no discomfort.

But alcohol did help him sleep. When Gwon Ji-yong woke up, Wu Yunxi was no longer in bed. He felt the other side of the bed, and it was cold, indicating she'd been up for quite some time.

Gwon Ji-yong glanced around and realized Wu Yunxi wasn't in the room, but he didn't panic. Since he didn't see any note from Wu Yunxi, he knew she was still home. This realization delighted Gwon Ji-yong.

He was still pondering this in bed when Wu Yunxi pushed the door open and walked in. The room was well soundproofed, and Wu Yunxi had just finished making lunch and decided to check on Gwon Ji-yong. She found him sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

"Oppa? Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wu Yunxi asked several questions in a row with concern. Seeing Quan Zhilong's dazed look, she became even more worried.

Quan Zhilong just thought of Wu Yunxi when he saw someone opening the door and coming in. He thought it was a dream. In addition, he was a little slow to react after waking up from drinking. When he came to his senses, he shook his head at Wu Yunxi.

"No, everything is fine. What time is it now?"

Quan Zhilong had not checked the time since he woke up and had no idea what time it was. In addition, the curtains were tightly drawn and no light could penetrate. He could not see whether it was bright or dark outside.

"It's past ten o'clock, Oppa, get up and eat something?"

Wu Yunxi smiled and glanced at the time on the phone. After telling Quan Zhilong what time it was, she called him to get up and eat something. He must be hungry after sleeping so long.

"Okay."

Kwon Ji-yong nodded, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom to wash up. He had thought he was fine this morning, but seeing his swollen head in the mirror, he felt a little less impressive in front of Wu Yunxi.

Wu Yunxi had no idea that Kwon Ji-yong could think of so many things while looking in the mirror, but even if she knew, she would still find Kwon Ji-yong's thoughts adorable.

After waiting for Kwon Ji-yong to finish washing up, Wu Yunxi remained at the doorway and didn't move away. As they watched him emerge from the bathroom, Kwon Ji-yong and Wu Yunxi's eyes met and they both laughed.

As they walked side by side to the dining table, Wu Yunxi remembered what she had wanted to ask about Lee Joo-hyuk. Although Kwon Ji-yong had slept with her last night, Lee Joo-hyuk had definitely been drinking, so he probably didn't go home. Of course, he might

have called a designated driver.

But it is more likely that he fell asleep directly at Quan Zhiyong's house. When thinking about this, Wu Yunxi wanted to ask a question, but when she saw Quan Zhiyong, she subconsciously cared about Quan Zhiyong first. She forgot about this matter.

Sometimes the memory is just a little bad, and you are obviously only in your twenties!

After secretly criticizing her memory in her heart, Wu Yunxi asked about what she remembered.

"Oppa, do you want to ask Zhu Hyuk oppa to have dinner together?"

After Wu Yunxi said this, Quan Zhiyong realized that he had forgotten something, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"I still need to call him. I wonder if he's awake yet."

With that, Kwon Ji-yong stood up and prepared to go across the street to check on his good friend. He completely ignored the smile Wu Yunxi had on his face behind him.

Wu Yunxi actually found Kwon Ji-yong's slightly embarrassed expression quite amusing. Of course, if Kwon Ji-yong had noticed, Wu Yunxi thought she'd probably agree to a lot of compensation because of it, though she'd also have found joy in it.

Hehe, watching Kwon Ji-yong walk out without noticing her smile, Wu Yunxi secretly rejoiced.

By the time Kwon Ji-yong called Lee Joo-hyuk over, Wu Yunxi had already put away her smile and was now a well-behaved person again.

"Joo-hyuk, let's have dinner together?"

Wu Yunxi rarely disregarded her image in front of others. She was actually trying to hide her smile because she was afraid Kwon Ji-yong would notice. Unfortunately, this deliberate behavior made Kwon Ji-yong feel a little strange, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he didn't ask why Wu Yunxi was so.

Because both of them drank quite a bit of wine yesterday, Wu Yunxi chose some dishes that are more nourishing to the stomach for lunch today. The three of them were very satisfied with the meal. After eating, Wu Yunxi did not choose to clean up, but poured a glass of water for the other two people, then went to sit on the sofa and rest.

Quan Jiyong and Lee Joo Hyuk were still eating. After they finished eating, the two talked for a while at the table. Lee Joo Hyuk looked at the time and said that he had an appointment to attend in the afternoon, so he left first.

After Lee Joo Hyuk left, Quan Jiyong stood up and cleaned up the table and the things on the table yesterday, then walked over to Wu Yunxi.

"Yunxi, I'm going to take a shower first. After that, let's go to the hair salon together."

Quan Jiyong checked the time right after he finished packing. It was still a while before the agreed time, but he was afraid that he might be late, so he sent a message in advance. After receiving the reply, he talked to Wu Yunxi about it.

"Yes~"
