Chapter 95: Day 69 of Love. Quan Ji-yong's whisper...
Quan Ji-yong's whisper was heard only by Wu Yunxi, but it evoked a different feeling. Wu Yunxi knew Quan Ji-yong missed his past life and would strive to live well in the present. But sometimes, she wondered if she had failed as leader, leading the group she had always wanted to continue to this point.
If Quan Ji-yong were at home, Wu Yunxi would have immediately disrupted his mood. But now, surrounded by dozens of people, Wu Yunxi couldn't even utter a word. She simply hugged the heartbroken man.
"Oppa, even if you're alone on stage, there are millions of people below you who are here for you. Just keep going forward, Oppa. There are so many people behind you. Just being on this glittering stage, Oppa alone is enough. It's dazzling enough."
Wu Yunxi rambled on, oblivious to the tenderness in Quan Ji-yong's eyes as he looked at her. Kwon Ji-yong said nothing more, patting Wu Yunxi on the back. Wu Yunxi, understanding, let go of his hand and, holding his, led him toward the stage stairs.
The others had noticed what was going on between the two, but as colleagues, it was more appropriate for Wu Yunxi to offer comfort. Of course, seeing the two of them getting along so well together was a positive experience for everyone, and they had believed their relationship was a good one from the start.
As the couple walked away, the others stopped watching and focused on packing their belongings and heading home.
Wu Yunxi led Kwon Ji-yong out of the concert venue, having previously informed her manager that it was just the two of them.
Kwon Ji-yong, wearing a hat, followed behind Wu Yunxi obediently.
Kwon Ji-yong had driven the car to the concert, while Wu Yunxi drove the car home. Since getting her license, Wu Yunxi had rarely driven, which wasn't entirely accurate. In fact, if she was with someone else, she would usually sit in the passenger seat.
She had driven with Quan Zhilong several times during this period, not because Quan Zhilong was drunk and couldn't drive, but simply because she wanted to.
Quan Zhilong didn't feel the same sadness as before. In fact, when Wu Yunxi said those words, Quan Zhilong already felt that this was good. He was loved by many people on stage, and there were people who would stand firmly by his side off stage.
Wu Yunxi's love was always a love that could be shown. She wouldn't hesitate between Quan Zhilong and anyone else, and would even spend a lot of time on Quan Zhilong. Of course, she was also serious and focused when working. The more Quan Zhilong spent time with Wu Yunxi, the more attracted he became, until Wu Yunxi was basically the only one in his sight, and he couldn't see any other girls at all.
Looking at Wu Yunxi who was driving seriously at this time, Quan Zhilong suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Quan Zhilong's smile, Wu Yunxi was a little curious.
"Nothing, I just think it's really nice to have you around, babe."
Sometimes Wu Yunxi would be at a loss for words when she saw Quan Zhilong's bluntness. But it was clear that Quan Zhilong wasn't like this at first, and he even thought for a long time about whether to pursue Wu Yunxi.
But later on, Quan Zhilong changed, especially when Wu Yunxi was communicating with him. His directness gradually made Quan Zhilong adopt this approach. Despite this, Wu Yunxi was still moved by Quan Zhilong's bluntness.
"You just found out."
Wu Yunxi was actually very happy, but in front of Quan Zhilong, she still acted like "How did you just find out?" This tsundere temper only made Quan Zhilong even happier.
After playing and having fun, they got home. It was actually quite late when they got home, and they both lay on the sofa, not wanting to get up.
"Oppa! Let's order takeout! Order takeout!"
Wu Yunxi lay on the sofa, looking completely unwilling to get up to cook, but she was a little hungry, so she finally came up with this idea.
"Then let's order takeout!"
Quan Zhilong agreed with Wu Yunxi's suggestion. Just as he was checking his phone to see what to have for dinner, he heard a knock on the door. Silence returned, and a moment later, the sound of a password being entered. Wu Yunxi knew instantly that it must be her parents.
"Oppa, don't order takeout yet. It's probably my mom and dad."
"Huh?"
Quan Zhilong hadn't expected that, but he sat up straight.
When Wu's mother opened the door, she saw Quan Zhilong sitting on the sofa while her daughter lay there playing with her phone.
As a parent, they knew the two children lived together, and that's why they didn't open the door directly. Even when the children were home, they gave them some time to clean themselves up. But today, Wu's mother had nothing else to do, so she came to check on the children and bring some food.
"Wu Yunxi!"
Wu's mother sometimes couldn't stand Wu Yunxi's lazy demeanor. She was a demanding mother, at least when Wu Yunxi was a child. But when they weren't around, she didn't pay much attention to how Wu Yunxi was living. As Wu Yunxi grew older, her mother relaxed her expectations. But she still found it a little irritating to see him lying on the sofa playing with his phone.
"Hey, Mom, are you here just to criticize me?"
Wu Yunxi wasn't afraid of her mother's reaction, but she sat up straight. Then, sensing something was wrong, she stood up again.
"Mom, have you had dinner yet?"
Wu Yunxi asked, knowing she most likely hadn't.
"I'll
get you some kimchi and some fresh vegetables."
Knowing Wu Yunxi's favorite vegetables, Mother Wu always brought some, and Quan Zhiyong was particularly fond of kimchi.
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Wait a minute?"
Looking at Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhiyong's expressions, Mother Wu could tell they probably hadn't. She headed for the kitchen, grabbing an apron at the door and putting it on, as if she was about to cook.
Quan Zhiyong felt a little embarrassed, but Wu Yunxi seemed more at ease.
"Mom, I want some fish!"
There was still a fish in the refrigerator, the boneless fish that Wu Yunxi loved. I had planned to do it tonight, but I felt tired after going out today, so I gave up the plan. Now is the perfect time!
"Okay, okay! Then make Zhilong's favorite dishes as well. You have quite a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator."
Mother Wu opened the refrigerator and saw that there were quite a few vegetables inside. But this was basically due to the fact that the two of them went to the supermarket together last night.
"Yes! Thank you, auntie."
Quan Zhilong said as he wanted to go in to help, but was driven out by Mother Wu.
After dinner, Mother Wu didn't stay long and prepared to go home.
Wu Yunxi knew that her mother drove here by herself, so she didn't try to persuade her to stay. She urged her to go home quickly and send her a message after she got home.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't worry."
Mother Wu didn't think that Wu Yunxi was nagging when she said these words. If she didn't care about someone, she wouldn't say these things at all.
The door closed again. Wu Yunxi saw Quan Zhiyong already cleaning up the dishes and went over to help.
After Wu Yunxi carried the dishes into the kitchen, Quan Zhiyong stopped her.
"Alright, alright, leave it to me from now on."
"Yes, Oppa, you've worked hard."
Wu Yunxi wouldn't compete with Quan Zhiyong for the job of washing the dishes, but she also wouldn't leave him alone in the kitchen. She simply prepared to make some juice and wait for Quan Zhiyong to drink it after he finished.
Having just eaten, she drank the juice much more slowly, and only finished one glass before bedtime. Quan Zhiyong urged Wu Yunxi to shower first, while he took the glass into the kitchen, rinsed it, and returned it to its place.
Since it was getting late, Wu Yunxi hesitated over whether to wash her hair or not, but ultimately chose not to. After she finished her shower, Quan Zhiyong could go in and shower. They were both exhausted after a long day, and when Quan Zhiyong came out, they both turned off the lights.
The room dimmed, lit only by the faint glow of a cell phone, which faded later.
Kwon Ji-yong left early in the morning, while Wu Yunxi went to check out the location for their next themed shoot. She hadn't actually decided on a location yet, but she'd seen some posts on her phone about a location near Seoul, so she decided to drive over to see what it was like before making a final decision.
The park Wu Yunxi was visiting had been developed in the past two years. Its theme is floral, and the flowers change with the seasons. At least it looked quite nice in other people's photos. Wu Yunxi had been to the park before, but the season was different, and the flowers were different, so the scenery was also different.
Since then, simply because she'd been there before, she hadn't considered returning. It was only the day before yesterday that she saw a photo someone posted on social media, and it seemed suitable.
Of course, if the actual location isn't suitable, Wu Yunxi would consider setting up a set in a studio, but finding a suitable location in person is always better, both from a cost and artistic perspective.
Even on a weekday, the park was still quite crowded. When Wu Yunxi parked her car and walked in, she wondered if everyone else had the same experience as her, seeing it online and coming to see it.
Thinking this way, Wu Yunxi didn't think it was strange. She started walking from the entrance, taking pictures as she went, imagining herself taking pictures here. She added annotations to the pictures when she felt it was appropriate, so that she could better distinguish them when she got home.
