Chapter 71: The Forty-Fiveth Day of Love.

He deliberately emphasized the word "old"...

deliberately putting emphasis on the word "old." Quan Zhilong clearly understood Wu Yunxi's meaning, but he was worried that Wu Yunxi would come back to him after she got home if she made any disrespectful gestures to so many people. After much deliberation, he decided to just make a note of this matter. Then, she'd let Wu Yunxi see if she really was old. Wouldn't that be more enjoyable than engaging in a heated argument? Seeing

that Quan Zhilong didn't refute him, Wu Yunxi subconsciously felt something was wrong. It was probably a sixth sense that she was doomed. But a glance at Quan Zhilong's expression told her it was probably too late to make amends, so she decided to give in and say nothing.

After sending the photos to the magazine, Wu Yunxi accompanied Quan Zhilong back to the dressing room. After removing their makeup and changing into their own clothes, they left the magazine together, planning to grab a bite before heading home.

Shortly after filming began, the agent received a call and left. Wu Yunxi drove Kwon Ji-yong to the restaurant. They chose a Chinese restaurant. The owner was Chinese, but had come here to start a business and had settled there.

Wu Yunxi had eaten there once before on a friend's recommendation, and later brought Kwon Ji-yong back. The food was more authentic than other Chinese restaurants. Of course, Wu Yunxi understood that it was normal for locals to adapt their cuisine to suit local tastes.

However, Wu Yunxi was a picky eater, especially after having eaten a lot of local food in China, so the modified flavors were somewhat strange.

Because of this restaurant's authenticity, Wu Yunxi would come there from time to time for a meal. Kwon Ji-yong later brought Lee Joo-hyuk there as well. Gradually, they all started coming over for dinner. Wu Yunxi hadn't expected to encounter Lee Joo-hyuk and his crew when she and Kwon Ji-yong arrived for dinner.

Kwon Ji-yong hadn't expected this. After meeting two days ago, the two hadn't seen each other again due to work, so seeing them here was a surprise.

"Joo Hyuk~"

"Ji Yong~"

The two friends deliberately drew out each other's names. Wu Yunxi caught Lee Joo Hyuk's manager's eye, then looked away, watching the two immature men discuss something. After much discussion, they decided to have dinner together. Wu Yunxi no longer objected to the two men's childish ways, and even managed to chat calmly with Lee Joo Hyuk's manager. After all,

they had worked together before, so a few words were normal.

By the time Lee Joo Hyuk and Kwon Ji-yong finished their conversation, Wu Yunxi had been eating quietly for quite a while. She even put a little of the food into Kwon Ji-yong's bowl when she found something delicious, but she didn't rush him to eat.

She didn't mind Lee Joo Hyuk's sudden arrival during their private time. To some extent, she had been a couple for the two, but Kwon Ji-yong didn't know about it.

If they knew, they would probably keep some distance from their friends in front of Wu Yunxi. It was precisely because they didn't know that Wu Yunxi was able to enjoy her meal and the show.

Wu Yunxi certainly didn't think there was anything shameful going on between them; she simply thought it was fun. Plus, the way they interacted was quite endearing.

"Yunxi, why didn't you call me while you were eating?"

After finishing his conversation with his friend, Kwon Ji-yong noticed that Wu Yunxi was smiling while she ate while watching him and Lee Joo-hyuk talk. Having gotten no favors from Lee Joo-hyuk, Kwon Ji-yong tried to get some from Wu Yunxi.

Unfortunately, Kwon Ji-yong forgot that Wu Yunxi wasn't the sweet, sweet type; she was a completely individual character. Once again frustrated, Kwon Ji-yong could only eat his meal in peace.

After dinner, without making any plans for the next stop, Wu Yunxi and Kwon Ji-yong drove home, while Lee Joo-hyuk opted to enjoy the nightlife before heading back.

"See you in a few days then."

As he waved goodbye to Lee Joo Hyuk, Kwon Ji-yong reminded him of what was to come.

After getting in the car, Wu Yunxi finally asked about her curiosity, only to learn that the two were participating in a variety show together and recording a song together.

"That's great!"

Wu Yunxi subconsciously recalled the lines she often saw in anime.

Kwon Ji-yong was actually different from what she had initially imagined, and different from the variety shows she had seen him in years before. He had changed a lot. Of course, she knew that those changes had indeed helped Kwon Ji-yong grow, but sometimes, as they got along, she began to feel that he had his childish moments. This was especially true when she saw Kwon Ji-yong's different attitudes towards others, which clearly showed how close he was to them.

Seeing Kwon Ji-yong's slightly childish side with Lee Joo Hyuk, she thought to herself, "How wonderful!" During her absence, Kwon Ji-yong wasn't alone; he had a good friend to keep him company during those difficult times.

The next morning, Quan Ji-Dragon didn't have much work to do, but Wu Yunxi had to go to the outdoor filming location early, as she still had a lot of work to do today. Quan Ji-Dragon didn't want to be alone at home, so he got up with Wu Yunxi, put on a mask and a hat, and followed Wu Yunxi to the filming location.

He originally thought that Wu Yunxi came alone, but he didn't expect to see Quan Ji-Dragon. The assistant was a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and talked to Wu Yunxi about work. You have to watch idols, at least when the assistant chose this circle, he was thinking about whether he would have the opportunity to meet idols, and you have to work too, if you don't work, how can you make money?

So Quan Ji-Dragon noticed that the assistant's eyes lit up when he saw him, and then he concentrated on talking to Wu Yunxi about the filming. Quan Ji-Dragon didn't care. He just followed Wu Yunxi to take a look, and he was not the protagonist today, so why would he care whether other people paid attention to him or not.

Besides, Kwon Ji-yong had actually come here to see Wu Yunxi at work, a stark contrast to her usual self.

He rarely saw Wu Yunxi at work, as his own schedule was far more hectic, not to mention her constant questions about new songs. This made it rare for Kwon Ji-yong to talk about work at home. He still talked about it after they started dating, but he was afraid Wu Yunxi would ask about the new songs, so he'd occasionally change the subject.

This rare experience also gave Kwon Ji-yong a deeper understanding of Wu Yunxi, and he realized that people who work hard are truly handsome.

Kwon Ji-yong knew the girl who worked with Wu Yunxi as a member of a girl group. She had previously appeared on a solo variety show called "Da Sheng." She had a unique charm and a unique voice. Kwon Ji-yong remembered her for more than just that; another reason was that the girl's group shared a similarity with theirs: both groups created their own music.

Occasionally, Kwon Ji-yong would reminisce about his former group, but more often, he chose to enjoy his current life.

"Oppa! I have to go to work. Do you want to wait for me here for a while?"

After talking to her assistant, Wu Yunxi turned to look at Kwon Ji-yong, smiling just like the way Kwon Ji-yong looked when he first saw her.

"Okay, I'll just watch from the side."

How could Quan Zhiyong refuse Wu Yunxi's suggestion? However, this place was still a bit far away. After some thought, he found a closer distance where he could see Wu Yunxi working without disturbing her.

"Okay~ Then, Oppa, please admire me~"

Wu Yunxi said this without blushing. She often praised her beauty in front of Quan Zhiyong. Although others might find it

embarrassing, Wu Yunxi's personality was such that she never felt shy about such self-praise. On the contrary, her pride endeared her to Quan Zhiyong even more.

During the photo shoot, Wu Yunxi was completely undivided from Quan Zhiyong. She worked diligently, stopping occasionally to chat. She was even more efficient than before. The work she had originally planned to finish by two or three in the afternoon was already finished before lunch.

"Okay, that's all for today. Thank you all for your hard work,"

Wu Yunxi said, looking at the last photo, feeling incredibly satisfied. After saying this, she grabbed her camera and found her assistant. After transferring the photos to him, she didn't stay any longer. Yuqi was also getting ready to catch her flight to the airport. She'd signed a regular MC role on a Chinese variety show and was returning to China to film the first episode.

"Oppa, shall we go home?"

Wu Yunxi packed up her things and walked over to Quan Ji-yong. Quan Ji-yong had been incredibly well behaved today, sitting there practically motionless, occasionally snapping a few photos of Wu Yunxi at work with his phone. Wu Yunxi, who was so focused on her work, didn't notice this, but the other staff members nearby did.

"Okay, let's go get lunch?"

It was getting late; it was already past midnight when the work was over, and no one had eaten yet. It was really perfect for photos, so she'd forgotten about eating. Quan Ji-yong's reminder made Wu Yunxi feel a little hungry.

"Okay!"
