Chapter 21: The Twenty-first Day of Acquaintance. Wu Yunxi...

Wu Yunxi, facing Quan Ji-yong's expectant gaze, gave an answer Quan Ji-yong didn't want. Seeing the man's dejected expression, Wu Yunxi laughed and ran away, not even offering a word of comfort.

This behavior made Quan Ji-yong's teeth itch, but he knew he wouldn't do anything to Wu Yunxi. Besides, it was just a joke between the two of them. If he took it seriously, it would definitely affect their relationship.

Pretending to be furious, Wu Yunxi ran faster when she saw Quan Ji-yong chasing after her. Unfortunately, she didn't notice a rock under her feet and tripped.

Quan Ji-yong rushed over to help her up, but when he reached out to pull Wu Yunxi up, she pulled him down beside him.

The two of them lay flat on the grass, Wu Yunxi looking up at the sky, Quan Ji-yong looking back at her.

Perhaps because the man's gaze was too intense, Wu Yunxi turned to look at Quan Ji-yong, then reached out and redirected his gaze to the sky.

"Oppa, you see, the sky feels different from this angle."

The surroundings were quiet. It wasn't that others, like Wu Yunxi, had come out to try their luck, but the grassy area was vast, making it hard to run into anyone. After all, most of those out were couples, and it was natural for them to want to enjoy some time alone.

Quan Zhiyong, inspired by Wu Yunxi's actions, looked up at the sky. It was indeed as Wu Yunxi had said, the view from this angle was truly different. But the most important thing was the person watching such a view with him.

After lying down for a few minutes, Wu Yunxi sat up. Even though it was summer, the temperature difference between day and night here made lying down for too long still feel a bit chilly. After Wu Yunxi stood up, she reached out to help Quan Zhiyong up.

Their actions were remarkably similar to when Quan Zhiyong had tried to pull Wu Yunxi up earlier, except that Quan Zhiyong didn't resort to trickery like Wu Yunxi did. He even struggled to stand up himself. He brushed off the grass that had gotten on his body.

"Let's continue our stroll?" "

Okay, Oppa, let's go."

Wu Yunxi had actually seen fireflies before, but this time, the significance was different. She wanted to show Kwon Ji-yong the same sights she had seen. Even if they weren't in the same place, she wanted to share this kind of life with him.

As they walked further and further, they finally saw a small valley covered in fireflies. There were even more fireflies than Wu Yunxi had seen before, like a starry sky on land. The twinkling lights flickered from place to place. As the two were completely absorbed in the beauty before them, fireflies even flew over and landed near them. Kwon Ji-yong felt as if he could reach out and touch the stars.

But just as he reached out, the fireflies flew away at the slightest movement.

While he felt a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to touch them, he also felt happy.

"Oppa, do you know what fireflies symbolize?"

Wu Yunxi observed Kwon Ji-yong's gesture, thinking him adorable. Then she remembered the search terms she had come across when she'd searched for fireflies.

"What do they symbolize?"

Kwon Ji-yong had seen fireflies at the villa before, but unlike this large group, he could only see them sporadically inside, let alone so many at once. With Wu Yunxi right beside him, the feeling was completely different.

"The meaning and symbolism of fireflies mainly include hope, unity, dedication, ideals, courage, perseverance, and the pursuit of freedom and happiness. I hope Oppa can also be free and happy."

"Wow, I really like this blessing. But Yunxi, don't you think you're missing one thing?"

"Huh? Is there one?"

Wu Yunxi was always a little confused at times like this, not understanding Quan Zhiyong's hint. Quan Zhiyong could only smile helplessly and explain his meaning.

After listening to Quan Zhiyong's explanation, Wu Yunxi covered her face in embarrassment, and after a moment's pause, she lowered her hand.

Unsure of what to say, she simply pulled the now-spectator on the show forward, completely unaware that their hands were now tightly linked.

After walking for a few minutes, the fireflies around them increased in number, and Wu Yunxi felt it would be a shame not to capture such a scene.

Quan Zhiyong, now a model, was completely at his mercy. After Wu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, he walked back to her side.

Besides the individual photos, the two also took numerous group photos. Even though the night made it difficult to see the people clearly, they still possessed a unique beauty.

On the way back, Quan Ji-yong took the initiative to hold Wu Yunxi's hand. When Wu Yunxi looked bewildered, he confidently explained his reasoning.

"This is your reward for holding my hand!"

This left Wu Yunxi helpless, and she could only let him hold her hand. But the smile on his lips couldn't hide his equally joyful mood.

Quan Ji-yong could see it, as they knew each other's feelings perfectly, acting in harmony.

Returning to their room with such sweet feelings, they said goodnight and went their separate ways. Tomorrow wasn't an early morning either, and Wu Yunxi had a good night's sleep after tonight's romance and sweetness, while Quan Ji-yong stayed up until morning.

Not only did Wu Yunxi's morning messages not receive a reply until noon, but her morning plans had to be postponed until the afternoon. Fortunately,

they both had plenty of time for this trip, so they could afford the delay. Wu Yunxi wasn't angry about this.

It was because, during a previous conversation with Kwon Ji-yong, she'd learned that Kwon Ji-yong actually had trouble sleeping. He often couldn't fall asleep at night,

and

his sleep schedule was completely messed up. His sleep was somewhat normal during his military service. After his discharge, he had to deal with work and the company, so while it was better than before, it wasn't the kind of sleeper he'd ever been.

Especially compared to Wu Yunxi's sleep schedule, Kwon Ji-yong's seemed completely messed up.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunxi messaged a friend in China, asking where she'd bought the sleeping fragrance.

A friend had given it to Wu Yunxi before. Knowing that Wu Yunxi slept well, they'd bought it for fun and because they'd heard it was effective.

But Wu Yunxi gave it to her parents, who then gave it to their parents. In short, it was already given away.

This time, she was traveling to Xinjiang, hoping to buy Kwon Ji-yong a sample to try.

Of course, if her plans weren't convenient, Wu Yunxi would buy it before leaving.

Quan Zhilong had no idea how much misunderstanding his getting up at noon had caused Wu Yunxi. After waking up, he looked at the new song demo on his phone and was very happy.

This time, he didn't have breakfast. It was already past midnight when Quan Zhilong finished packing and came out. The two of them went to have lunch together, checked out, and prepared to drive the RV to the place they had booked before, play for the afternoon, and then continue their self-driving tour on this road.

They had a great time in Guozigou that afternoon, and they were both a little tired. However, since they were going to continue their journey, Wu Yunxi stopped by Shin Ramyun in the car and the two of them had a full meal.

It was Quan Ji-yong who drove the car that night. Because of Wu Yunxi's sleeping habits, he yawned constantly after the scheduled time. However, Wu Yunxi wouldn't let Quan Ji-yong drive alone, so they drove until midnight, listening to music. They found a parking spot, locked the doors, and went to sleep.

Although the sleeping environment wasn't particularly good, Quan Ji-yong felt reassured by Wu Yunxi's presence, allowing him to sleep soundly.

Wu Yunxi, however, felt uncomfortable in her bed, and upon waking, she couldn't help but rub her waist.

"Oppa, you're awake. How was your sleep?"

Noticing Quan Ji-yong had woken up earlier than her, Wu Yunxi smoothed her hair and asked him how he'd rested.

"Is the bed too hard? I don't think you got much rest."

Quan Ji-yong noticed Wu Yunxi's movements, but he didn't stare, but he still asked with concern.

"Huh? Yeah."

Initially, Quan Ji-yong didn't quite catch what she said, and after a moment's pause, Wu Yunxi replied.

"I'm used to sleeping on a softer bed. I can sleep on a hard bed like this, but I'm not quite used to it. But it should be fine in a couple of days."

After styling her hair and tying it with a hair tie, Wu Yunxi realized she hadn't washed up.

She felt like she was done for. She'd completely lost her image in front of the person she loved!

Even though her heart was raging, she feigned indifference on her face. After washing up, she finally managed to

calm down. Quan Jiyong was tactful enough not to remind Wu Yunxi about the incident, nor did

he pretend to be unconcerned and offer comfort. Although he had washed up early that morning because of this incident, he understood Wu Yunxi's feelings.

After they finished, Wu Yunxi smiled and talked to Quan Jiyong again.

The two of them had a quick breakfast in the car and continued on their journey.

They'd stop wherever they saw something interesting along the way. They stopped for lunch in an open space, where quite a few people were also parked. The scenery looked truly beautiful, and everyone was enjoying it.

After lunch, we continued driving forward, and finally arrived at our planned destination around two o'clock in the afternoon.

It is called a grassland, and this place is really spectacular. Not only can you not see the end at a glance, but once you walk in, you will feel a sense of being looming.

The two of them ran on the grass and took pictures. The advantage of having a photographer is that even if you don't come here specifically to take pictures, you still get a lot of beautiful pictures, and if you want to post them on the Internet, they can really take a long time.

"Oppa, let's eat here!"

Wu Yunxi always felt that it would be great to come here to eat with such scenery!
