Chapter 27: The First Day of Love. Even before the confession…

even before the confession, he had already believed Wu Yunxi wouldn't reject him. But when he finally heard the answer, Quan Zhilong's joy was indescribable. He simply couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

"Thank you for loving me, and thank you for letting me love you."

Quan Zhilong rarely used the word "love," preferring to use "like" more subtly. Wu Yunxi, however, was adept at expressing her feelings directly with love. It seemed as if influenced by Wu Yunxi, Quan Zhilong also began to express his feelings directly.

"You're welcome. Everything is for the best."

Officially together, the two of them were even more affectionate than before. Wu Yunxi opened the gift Quan Zhilong had prepared, but before that, she had gone downstairs to get it for Quan Zhilong.

They didn't even sit on the sofa, but sat on the floor. Quan Zhilong half-hugged Wu Yunxi as he unwrapped the gift she had given him. Wu Yunxi, however, didn't rush to open the gift. She waited until she saw Quan Zhilong's expression upon seeing her gift before she began.

In addition to the sleeping scent she'd specially bought two days earlier, she also gave Kwon Ji-yong a handicraft. Wu Yunxi designed the craft herself. Even though she didn't make it herself, it was a thoughtful gesture. If she had made it herself, the gift probably wouldn't have been given away for a year.

Wu Yunxi also included a handwritten Korean translation inside the sleeping scent, making it more convenient for Kwon Ji-yong to use.

Kwon Ji-yong was deeply touched by the translation. Every gift Wu Yunxi gave him touched his heart. He'd clearly not discussed this with just Wu Yunxi, but even after so long, she was the only one who would still come up with a solution.

He couldn't express his feelings, and he only tightened his grip around Wu Yunxi slightly. When Wu Yunxi felt a slight discomfort and struggled, Kwon Ji-yong relaxed a little.

"Oppa, this is something a friend of mine recommended to me. They say it works really well. Try it yourself. If it doesn't work, I'll find you a better one."

Seeing Kwon Ji-yong reading the sleeping scent's translation, Wu Yunxi added a note of concern. After all, whether something is useful or not is truly known only to the person involved.

"Okay, I'll try it when I get back."

Quan Ji-yong wasn't one to spoil a good time, especially since Wu Yunxi had found something specifically for her. Regardless of whether it worked or not, at least Quan Ji-yong was willing to give it a try.

"Okay, then, I'll start opening my own presents."

Quan Ji-yong had prepared so many gifts that it felt like even a Christmas tree would rival all those Christmas presents. If Wu Yunxi hadn't been sure there weren't any holidays nearby, she might have momentarily wondered if she'd misremembered the date.

But after unpacking the items, they were incredibly diverse. There were skincare and cosmetics, shoes and bags, and even clothing and jewelry. Quan Ji-yong had bought Wu Yunxi practically everything imaginable, and several of the bags were clearly quite valuable. Since they were Quan Ji-yong's own, it seemed the prices had never been too low.

"Oppa, why did you buy me so many gifts?"

After unpacking for a long time, several were still unopened, leaving the floor covered in wrapping paper and boxes. Wu Yunxi, initially excited but ultimately exhausted, couldn't help but ask Kwon Ji-yong why he bought so many things.

This question embarrassed Kwon Ji-yong. He had originally wanted to choose a perfect gift, but as he was shopping, he found this and that suitable, and before he knew it, he'd bought a lot. It wasn't just these things here; these were just the things Kwon Ji-yong had bought while shopping in the past few days while preparing to confess his love. Even his own house in Seoul was filled with gifts for Wu Yunxi. Back then, their relationship wasn't as close as it is now, and if he gave them all to Wu Yunxi, he was afraid she wouldn't accept them, so he just kept them there, hoping to find a way to give them away.

Wu Yunxi didn't know about this, otherwise she wouldn't know how to describe her feelings.

Seeing Kwon Ji-yong scratching his head innocently, Wu Yunxi felt a little helpless.

"Could you please take these gifts back for me? I'll ask you to get them when I get back."

Wu Yunxi had no choice. She still had to travel for a while, and it wouldn't be convenient to carry them around.

"Okay, but Yunxi, you need to come back soon."

Although he knew Wu Yunxi wouldn't be returning with him, Quan Zhilong already felt he missed her before they even parted. He still wanted to remind her to remember to come back soon. He didn't want to forget about his boyfriend just after they were together.

"Yes, I will definitely not forget to come back soon,"

Wu Yunxi agreed with a smile. But who could say for sure what would happen next?

So, the next morning, when Wu Yunxi dropped Quan Zhilong off at the airport, she saw that Quan Zhilong's suitcase, which had been small when they arrived, had become two, one large and one small. The large one was filled with the gifts Quan Zhilong had bought Wu Yunxi the day before. Of course, Wu Yunxi had left some clothes behind, just in case.

After sending him to the airport gate and watching him pass through security, Wu Yunxi waved to Quan Zhilong. She originally thought she wouldn't be sad, but when she saw him turn around and walk in, her eyes were still red.

What should I do? Oppa, I seem to have started to miss you.

The emotion of separation affected Wu Yunxi, making her not so happy all day. After receiving the news that Quan Zhilong had landed safely, Wu Yunxi felt relieved. Even though airplanes are the safest means of transportation in the world, when she didn't get an accurate reply, Wu Yunxi would still worry about whether Quan Zhilong would have an accident.

[I'm glad you arrived safely, Oppa, I seem to have started to miss you. - Wu Yunxi]

Missing you can't be concealed, and Wu Yunxi didn't want to hide this fact in front of Quan Zhilong.

[I miss you too, but I still have to work hard to make money to buy Yunxi a gift. The second half of Kwon Ji-yong

's words were a complete joke, out of fear that Wu Yunxi might be upset. You have to remember that even if he wasn't working, Kwon Ji-yong wouldn't be short of money, and he was a copyright tycoon.

Wu Yunxi knew Kwon Ji-yong was trying to comfort her, so she could only smile and reply. Kwon Ji-yong didn't even have time to go home and rest, having to go back to work to deal with some work. Although Wu Yunxi worried that he was exhausted, she couldn't seem to change anything. She could

only check in on him when he was free. Kwon Ji-yong went back to work, so the two of them could only chat in the evenings when he wasn't working. Sometimes, they'd just video chat, Kwon Ji-yong working on his album, while Wu Yunxi quietly kept him company, occasionally exchanging a few words.

While she felt a little regretful about not having as much time together, even just this quiet companionship, each doing their own thing, seemed wonderful. Wu Yunxi felt that love could truly change many things. If only she had never imagined she would end up like this. But after they really fell in love, even just talking on the phone with Kwon Ji-yong would make them feel happy.

The sweetness in their hearts was completely reflected on their faces, and they smiled unconsciously. It was obvious that they were in love.

That evening, because Quan Zhiyong was busy, Wu Yunxi couldn't talk to him on the phone. She had to call her mother first. As soon as the call connected, Wu's mother noticed something was up.

However, seeing Wu Yunxi wasn't about to confess, Wu's mother didn't press the issue. She simply asked vaguely if anything good had happened recently.

Indeed, a lot had happened recently, but Wu Yunxi, not understanding her mother's question, smiled and agreed. The two of them were talking at cross purposes, yet both were satisfied.

After chatting with her mother about their recent travels, Wu's mother headed out for a walk and ended the call. Meanwhile, Wu Yunxi received a call from Quan Zhiyong, who had just finished work.

Actually, work wasn't completely over; he was just taking a break. Quan Zhiyong felt uncomfortable not having spoken to Wu Yunxi today, so he decided

to call her during the ten-minute break.

After the call connected, Quan Zhiyong felt a sense of relief.

"Oppa! Are you done with work?"

Wu Yunxi was pleasantly surprised to hear someone call her who had said he didn't have time to call her today.

"Not yet. I took a break for about ten minutes. I missed you so much that I couldn't help but call you."

Quan Zhilong's straightforward expression of missing you made Wu Yunxi feel strange. However, such straightforward words also made people shy.

Wu Yunxi blushed. She was not the one who said this, but she was the one who blushed.

"I miss you so much too, Oppa!"

Even though she blushed, Wu Yunxi was the kind of woman who refused to admit defeat. She was the kind of person who had to show off her strength with words.

She was just trying to hide her shyness, but unfortunately, after saying that she missed you, Wu Yunxi's face turned even redder. This time, she really couldn't hide it at all. Quan Zhilong's face didn't seem to show anything, but Wu Yunxi had good eyesight and immediately noticed someone's red ears.

However, adhering to the principle of seeing through but not saying it out loud, Wu Yunxi didn't point it out directly.

After the two chatted for a few minutes, Quan Zhilong had to continue working, so they had to end the call. Wu Yunxi had been playing all day and had to move to another place tomorrow, so she chose to rest early.
