Chapter 79: Fifty-three Days of Love. This trip abroad...
This trip was actually for an invitation to participate in a fashion show. It was a private show, so the invitees were close friends. Wu Yunxi was invited because of her close relationship with the designer. Of course, if they wanted to make money, media would still be invited. Although the show wasn't initially well-received, over the years, people came to see it as a great platform, and it gradually helped to bring several people to prominence.
Not everyone who participates will get a great opportunity; the right time, place, and people are all essential. Of course, even then, many unknown newcomers would want to participate in such a show. But Wu Yunxi actually understood why this happened. A designer is more than just a designer. When she first learned of his identity, Wu Yunxi immediately thought: if things didn't go well at work, she could return home and inherit the property.
Although Quan Jilong was reluctant to let Wu Yunxi go, he also knew the importance of this matter. So after seeing Wu Yunxi off to the airport, he drove away immediately after she entered. He had been incredibly busy these past two days. Even the TV station kept contacting Quan Jilong, trying to get him to continue promoting his music. The TV station promoting the new album and the first concert received considerable attention, and other stations were eager for similar ratings.
After all, ratings impact their revenue, so it seemed only natural that they would invite Kwon Ji-yong to perform.
However, Kwon Ji-yong remained resistant, but he wasn't about to offend anyone. His agent's excuse was quite good, and Kwon Ji-yong felt completely comfortable leaving the matter to his agent.
Wu Yunxi's destination was in Europe, and unlike others, her friend didn't wait for Paris Fashion Week; instead, she made her final decision on each trip. She thought she wouldn't have considered the destination if her friend hadn't mentioned it. But after researching it online and asking the designer about the theme, she realized it was a great choice.
Unfortunately, there were no direct flights, and she had to transfer. Wu Yunxi flew for nearly twenty hours straight to reach her destination. She sent a message to Kwon Ji-yong saying he was safe and then stopped worrying about anything else.
Having slept restlessly on the plane, Wu Yunxi was so sleepy once she arrived at the hotel that she didn't even bother to check if Quan Ji-yong had replied to her messages. She simply fell asleep on the bed, even wanting to put her obsessive-compulsive disorder behind her.
But obsessive-compulsive disorder remained obsessive-compulsive disorder. After lying there for a few minutes, Wu Yunxi struggled to sit up, unpacked her belongings from the suitcase, and spread them on the bed, finally letting out a sigh of relief. However, this activity had already made her less sleepy, so she had to take a shower before returning to bed.
Quan Ji-yong also texted her at this time, and then switched to a phone call, and the two fell asleep while talking on the phone.
When Wu Yunxi woke up, the call had been disconnected for a while. Quan Ji-yong had gotten up early to go to work, and when Wu Yunxi woke up, it was still dark outside. Due to the time difference between the two countries, Wu Yunxi, who had slept well, felt a little hungry, so she stood up, packed up, and ordered room service.
The main point is that she was in an unfamiliar place and didn't want to go out and explore. Mainly because Wu Yunxi had briefly reviewed the local security situation before arriving. Since she was alone, she felt it best to stay in the hotel for the night. It wasn't because she was lazy.
Fortunately, the food in the hotel restaurant was quite good, so Wu Yunxi ate her fill. She opened the curtains and looked at the lights outside, but she still had no intention of leaving. However, sleep was still a struggle, so Wu Yunxi pulled her tablet from her suitcase and used international roaming to watch TV.
She chose a random show, and she wasn't sure if it was any good. But as she watched, Wu Yunxi thought of something else. The tablet's sound lingered.
Quan Jiyong was filming a variety show today. While the show might not air for long, the filming time was actually quite long. Especially since he had to wait for the others to arrive, Quan Jiyong couldn't even pull out his phone to check if Wu Yunxi had sent him a message.
As he waited idly for the others to arrive, Quan Jiyong's expression gradually calmed, even looking a bit fierce to others.
Lee Joo Hyuk, the first to enter, greeted Kwon Ji Yong calmly upon seeing his expression.
It wasn't a typical greeting; Lee Joo Hyuk walked over, patted Kwon Ji Yong on the shoulder, and then sat down next to him.
"You're here?"
Kwon Ji Yong, taken aback by this, saw his best friend sitting next to him. He greeted Lee Joo Hyuk naturally, pretending nothing had happened, as he greeted Lee Joo Hyuk.
Lee Joo Hyuk waved his hand. "Why are you so distracted?"
"Waiting for you."
Kwon Ji Yong wouldn't reveal his true reason in front of so many cameras. Of course, Lee Joo Hyuk knew it, but he just wanted to make sure everyone knew he wasn't being impatient.
But Lee Joo Hyuk didn't say anything. When he heard Kwon Ji Yong's reason, he acted like he was talking nonsense.
Kwon Ji Yong didn't even bother to hide his feelings in front of Kwon Ji Yong. He remained calm and didn't say anything extra. Instead, he smiled and let Lee Joo Hyuk pour him a glass of water.
"Huh?"
Lee Joo Hyuk was completely bewildered when he heard what Kwon Ji Yong said, but he still poured him a glass of water before finally saying what he had been meaning to say.
Wu Yunxi had already closed the TV series she had been playing and was about to watch something else to pass the time. Finally, while scrolling through short videos, she saw a recommended game and clicked on it. She was so immersed in it that she barely noticed the passage of time. It wasn't until her phone told her it was low on battery that Wu Yunxi checked the time. It was already past three in the morning.
It seemed like time for a nap.
An idea suddenly struck Wu Yunxi, and she followed it. Before she put her phone down, she texted her boyfriend to say she was going to bed. She then connected her phone to a charger, put on her self-heating disposable eye mask, and finally closed her eyes.
She didn't sleep for long, but after recovering from the jet lag, she woke up feeling refreshed. She texted her designer friend to let him know she had arrived, and the two of them arranged to meet for lunch over the phone.
After ending the call, Wu Yunxi carefully read the messages that Quan Zhilong had sent her, replied to each one, and then said that she was going out for dinner. She went to the bathroom to wash up and came out to change into an outfit more suitable for a formal meal. Wu Yunxi put on some simple makeup before going out with a bag.
The place for dinner was a Western restaurant. After Wu Yunxi went there and said her friend's name, the waiter led her to a table where her friend was already sitting and waiting for her.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Wu Yunxi looked at the person waiting for her and apologized quickly. After all, she was a little late.
"It's okay. This is a rare experience."
Wu Yunxi herself doesn't like to be late, and of course she doesn't like others to be late. Of course, if you want to see Wu Yunxi late, it is still a rare thing. Just like her friend, this is the first time she has seen Wu Yunxi late.
It was a rare experience, and the relationship between them wasn't that distant. They'd known each other for a long time, and while their chances to see each other had become less frequent over the years, they still spoke on the phone. It wasn't like they'd grown estranged at all.
"Hehe, it's mainly because it's been so long since we've seen each other, and I wanted to leave a really good impression!
"
Wu Yunxi said to her friend with a smile. The food they'd ordered arrived, and they were the type to be completely focused on their meal, so the conversation paused. After dinner, the friend had the energy to ask about Wu Yunxi's relationship.
"How's your relationship going?"
The friend had seen Wu Yunxi's initial hesitation, texting him repeatedly to ask how it was going, and had also seen Wu Yunxi's happiness after he'd started dating, even through the phone.
"Great! It's just a pity he had work this time, or I would have brought him over."
Wu Yunxi was indeed sad about the situation, but there would always be another chance, so she simply mentioned it briefly.
After lunch, the friend wanted to go to the show venue to see how it was arranged, and then go to have a meal with the teachers.
"Would you like to go to the show venue with me?"
The friend asked Wu Yunxi before he could finish his sentence, but Wu Yunxi shook his head.
"Let's leave it for the day, I want to go out for a walk."
The friend didn't mind Wu Yunxi's refusal, and even told Wu Yunxi which places around there were interesting ones to visit.
"Then I'll go first."
After telling Wu Yunxi which places were more interesting, the friend took his things and left.
Wu Yunxi searched on the map according to the places his friend mentioned, and after looking at the recommended means of transportation, he decided to go to a closer place to take a look first.
Walking around, Wu Yunxi took out his mobile phone to take pictures when he saw beautiful scenery, but the pictures taken by the mobile phone were still not as clear as those taken by the camera, so after seeing the pictures, Wu Yunxi could only sigh that he didn't bring his camera with him today.
