Chapter 96: Seventieth Day of Dating.

Quan Ji-yong, who had gone to the company... Quan Ji-yong, who had gone to the company, received the landscape photos Wu Yunxi had sent him and felt truly miserable about his workday. However, practice was still necessary; Quan Ji-yong was still the same Quan Ji-yong, and performing well required practice.

Wu Yunxi had no idea that her photos had inspired Quan Ji-yong to take a vacation, but even if she had known, she would likely have supported him.

She did feel a bit guilty sometimes when she took Quan Ji-yong out to play and neglected everything else. After all, in her mind, Quan Ji-yong had always been a workaholic. This was particularly evident when he was writing songs, often staying up late, sometimes even all night.

As Wu Yunxi strolled through the park, she couldn't help but smile as she thought about their experiences. Fortunately, her trip wasn't entirely fruitless. Wu Yunxi had chosen a few suitable locations, but whether they would work out would depend on her decision after she returned.

After leaving the park, Wu Yunxi wandered around another area before driving to pick up Quan Ji-yong.

When Wu Yunxi arrived at Quan Zhiyong's company, Quan Zhiyong hadn't finished practicing yet. Fortunately, Wu Yunxi had contacted Quan Zhiyong's manager, who came downstairs and took Wu Yunxi upstairs, then let Wu Yunxi in on her own.

The manager didn't accompany Wu Yunxi into the practice room, mainly because he had other work to do. Wu Yunxi was also familiar with the place, and since the entire floor was staffed by Quan Zhiyong's staff, he knew there wouldn't be any problems. With that in mind, he left with peace of mind.

Through the glass door, Wu Yunxi saw Quan Zhiyong still practicing with the others. After some thought, she decided not to interrupt Quan Zhiyong's work, but found a stool by the door and sat down to wait.

Quan Zhiyong hadn't known Wu Yunxi was coming; Wu Yunxi hadn't told him beforehand. Now, she had sent a message to Quan Zhiyong, but Quan Zhiyong couldn't see because he was practicing.

Wu Yunxi sat outside, playing with her phone. After a while, the door opened, and people began to come out. Noticing Wu Yunxi, someone spoke to the back.

The messenger had a decent relationship with Kwon Ji-yong. Kwon Ji-yong, who had been sitting on the floor trying to rest, quickly stood up and headed outside when he heard Wu Yunxi approach. There

were still quite a few people outside, all ready to leave, but seeing Wu Yunxi, some stayed to join in the fun. However, upon seeing Kwon Ji-yong approach Wu Yunxi, most tactfully left. While some wanted to watch the fun, it wasn't a gathering of friends, after all. Their relationship with Kwon Ji-yong was more like that of a colleague, not a particularly close one.

Even his agent didn't approach again, returning to his own tasks.

"Babe, why are you here?"

Kwon Ji-yong was pleasantly surprised to hear Wu Yunxi was there, especially after all the hard work.

"To pick up our star from work!"

Wu Yunxi smiled, standing up and pulling a piece of paper from her bag to wipe the sweat off Kwon Ji-yong's forehead.

"Wait a minute, I'll pack my things and be right back."

Kwon Ji-yong's eyes narrowed with joy as he pulled Wu Yunxi into the practice room, had her sit down, and began to pack his things. Kwon Ji-yong has a designated break room at the company, where he keeps some things. After practicing, he's sweaty, so he can shower and change clothes there.

Being a bit of a clean freak, he always takes a quick

shower after practice, then washes up properly when he gets home.

After packing up his things in the practice room, Kwon Ji-yong took Wu Yunxi to the break room. After giving Wu Yunxi instructions, he went into the bathroom at her nod. He spoke quickly, even faster, especially knowing Wu Yunxi was waiting outside.

Even so, when Kwon Ji-yong emerged, he still smelled of his special body wash. After following him around for so long, Wu Yunxi had grown to love it, instantly recognizing it among all the other scents. Kwon Ji-

yong's hair was still damp from his shower, and he wiped it with a towel. Wu Yunxi walked over, took the towel from Kwon Ji-yong's hand, and began to help him dry it. With his hair still half-dry, Wu Yunxi put down the towel and rubbed it with her hands. Then, Wu Yunxi pulled a hair dryer from the drawer.

Wu Yunxi didn't create a hairstyle, simply drying it. Some of the longer hair fell down smoothly. Ignoring Kwon Ji-yong's age, Wu Yunxi felt as if she were seeing Kwon Ji-yong in his twenties.

When their eyes met, Wu Yunxi couldn't help but kiss him on the lips. It was just a simple kiss, but Kwon Ji-yong had other thoughts. He wanted to pull Wu Yunxi along to continue, but she pushed him away from him.

"Let's go find a restaurant today. An idol we filmed last time said they recently opened a new Chinese restaurant that's really good."

The idol Wu Yunxi was referring to was from the group "Wa," and Kwon Ji-yong had been there when she filmed him last time. However, Wu Yunxi's mention of this was partly to change the subject. Despite knowing Kwon Ji-yong was willing to continue, he continued the conversation.

"Let's go!"

Wu Yunxi pulled Quan Ji-yong outside. As they drove out of the company gate, Quan Ji-yong rolled down the window and waved to the fans waiting outside.

"You all go back. I'm off duty."

Quan Ji-yong probably wouldn't have said that before. Now, the people who still followed him were mostly long-time fans, and everyone had become more relaxed.

"Oppa, you can't be so cocky as someone who's been fired. You need to be happy."

Hearing the arrogance in Quan Ji-yong's tone, the fans wanted to pour cold water on him, but seeing Quan Ji-yong's happy smile, they couldn't help but offer their blessings.

"I know, I know."

Although his face showed a hint of disgust, Quan Ji-yong was actually very happy. After closing the window, Quan Ji-yong spoke to Wu Yunxi. Wu Yunxi, who was concentrating on driving to her destination, took a moment to react before chatting with Quan Ji-yong.

When they arrived, the restaurant wasn't empty yet, partly because many of the dishes were on the spicy side. When Wu Yunxi took Quan Zhilong in and sat down to look at the menu, she felt a wave of regret.

Quan Zhilong and Wu Yunxi both enjoyed spicy food, but for various reasons, their stomachs weren't exactly pristine. Of course, everyone has stomach issues these days, so it wasn't a big deal. So, Wu Yunxi quickly put her regrets aside and even ordered two spicy dishes: braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried vegetables, and seaweed egg drop soup.

It sounded like a lot, but the restaurant owner had researched the area before opening. While it was plenty for two people, it wasn't as large as Wu Yunxi's previous meals in Northeast China.

Seeing the dishes, Wu Yunxi suddenly remembered the previous meal and the agreement she had made with Quan Zhilong.

"Oppa, let's go to Northeast China at the end of the year. There are ice sculptures there, and you can ski, skate, and eat a lot of delicious food."

Wu Yunxi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Quan Zhilong's bowl, talking about what he had just been thinking about.

"Okay."

As Wu Yunxi mentioned this, Quan Ji-Dragon was mentally planning his work schedule. At the end of each year, the agency would plan the artists' schedule for the following year. Of course, this was just the rough outline; some work was added at the start of the new year.

The schedule wouldn't change much. While Quan Ji-Dragon had resumed work, his current schedule was different from before. Especially since he started dating Wu Yunxi, Quan Ji-Dragon had even scheduled some extra time for rest.

Of course, Quan Ji-Dragon actually wanted to finalize his life's plans this year or next. They'd already met each other's parents. While the elders hadn't formally met, they were definitely moving in that direction.

Besides the approval of the elders, Quan Ji-Dragon also hoped to gain Wu Yunxi's consent. During this tour, Quan Ji-Dragon had his own ulterior motives, though they weren't immediately apparent. The actual proposal wasn't solely at the concert; it was the concert

itself that provided the opportunity. The original plan was to propose at the concert, allowing fans to participate in the event. But Quan Zhilong thought about it over and over again and realized that this idea was just his own wish. Wu Yunxi was not a person who liked to have big things witnessed by many people. Although she was very direct in expressing herself, she also had her own preferences. Just like Wu Yunxi never thought that Quan Zhilong would confess to her in public. In the presence of so many people, it was actually a dilemma to agree or not.

Of course, this idea was just an idea. When Quan Zhilong confessed his feelings to Wu Yunxi, they were alone.

So Quan Zhilong planned to leave a puzzle for Wu Yunxi. There was a puzzle in every concert, and the final answer would be told honestly when only the two of them were there. Only two people?

Quan Zhilong was still a little uncertain about this idea. He wanted to record every little detail of the two of them. How could he not record such a big event as a proposal?

Wu Yunxi took Quan Zhilong home. The two of them didn't talk much along the way. Wu Yunxi, who was driving seriously, had no idea that Quan Zhilong was thinking so much in his mind.
