Quan Xingai looked at the old house and said goodbye to her previous life. When Quan Zhilong was feeling emotional about his coat, she just picked up a pebble as a souvenir after making a snow 'dog' in the yard outside the house. She hoped that this time she could create music out of pure love.

The two stayed in Kyoto for two days, then continued on their journey south to their final destination, Kagoshima. The 900-kilometer journey could be reached in just eight hours, but they both had impulsive personalities, so the trip began to take longer.

When passing by Kobe on the way, the two of them suddenly wanted to eat the famous Kobe beef, so they simply turned into a century-old restaurant. The rich man used his money ability to become a VIP directly so that he could eat the legendary "Kobe beef" without having to queue.

However, judging by the expressions on their faces, the meal wasn't worth the money.

We continued walking and stopping all the way until we finally reached our destination late at night.

"Xing Ai, if you don't show up soon, we'll start to suspect you were abducted by aliens along the way," Park Jin Li's voice came from the other end of the line. Meanwhile, He La called out, "We're almost there! Hurry up! We've prepared a barbecue to celebrate our online reunion!"

"Well, actually, I'm not here alone this time. I have a friend who insisted on coming with me..." Quan Xingai looked at Quan Zhilong who was driving and the person on the other end of the phone and said.

"Mo? Who? Do I know him? Him? Is he a man?" Park Jinri immediately asked curiously.

"Ah, boyfriend? Xingai's boyfriend?"

"Hey, it's not my boyfriend. You guys know this friend too. You probably know him better than I do."

"The more I talk about it, the more curious I get. Who is it? He sounds like an entertainer, too."

"Hehe, we're at the door, come and greet us quickly."

The car drove all the way to a villa by the sea. On the opposite bank, we could see the shadow of Sakurajima Volcano under the night sky. There was no snow here and it was sunny every day. The climate was gradually getting warmer. The small house by the sea was like a lighthouse under the winter starry sky, emitting soft light to guide travelers to their destination.

"How do you know Jinri? I haven't seen her for a long time. Last year, someone said that she was not doing well... I didn't expect she was in Kagoshima." After a few days of traveling together, Kwon Ji-yong had already asked Quan Xingai who the friends he was going to meet on this trip to Japan were. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Park Jinri and He La, who had not appeared in Korea for a long time, and even the agency didn't know where they were.

"We met by chance. I said we were just meeting friends. Look, you're the only Agassi among us three girls." Quan Xingai got out of the car and made a face at Quan Zhilong.

"Xing Ai, the friend you mentioned—Oh Mo, Brother Zhilong, it's you!"

"Brother, why are you here with Xingai? Both of you?"

Park Jin-ri and He-ra, emerging in sweaters, spotted two familiar faces near the car. It wasn't surprising that Sung-ae was there; they'd agreed to meet and stay in Kagoshima. But the other person's presence was incredibly unexpected. That was Kwon Ji-yong. Didn't he just get discharged? When did he become so affectionate with Sung-ae?

Or are the rumors about them not groundless?

"Ouni, stop looking at me with your gossipy eyes. It was Oppa who insisted on coming along. We are just temporary travel companions." Quan Xingai said.

"I've been your driver for so long, Jeon Seong-ae, and now I'm just a temporary travel companion?" Kwon Ji-yong had an accusing expression on his face, then pinched the girl's cheek. The girl was not afraid at all that he would pinch her cheek in return.

In the eyes of Park Jin-ri and He-ra, who were watching the fun, the biggest problem was that these two people said they were fine. After exchanging an ambiguous glance, the two friends stepped forward to interrupt the noisy game of these two childish people.

"Okay, okay, come inside first and have some barbecue. Luckily, we have plenty of ingredients, more than enough for four people." Park Jinri pulled the two of them into the yard.

The two girls bought this three-story seaside B&B and turned it into a paradise for themselves and their friends. The exterior looks like a combination of Japanese and modern styles, but when you walk in, you will find that the interior is completely modern and very suitable for living.

"Fortunately, there are two rooms on the third floor. Brother Zhilong should also stay on the third floor. The view there is the best. When you wake up, you can see seagulls and the volcano opposite." Several people took the luggage to the room on the third floor together. Park Jinri arranged two bedrooms with the best views side by side on the third floor for the two of them.

The room was spacious and bright. Quan Zhilong, the transfer student, scratched his head. His own room was just a guest room, nothing worth studying. However, the room that Park Jinli and Hela prepared for Xingai was decorated with purple elements, making it look dreamy. He was surprised that the two of them had such a good relationship.

When I looked again, the three girls were hugging each other and screaming excitedly.

“Ahhhh, unnie, the decoration you guys made for me is so dreamy!!! I love it so much!”

"I noticed earlier that you subconsciously chose purple for many of the things you bought at your house, so I'm going to decorate your home in Kagoshima in purple too!"

"Wow, unnie, I love you so much. Let's go, let's eat barbecue! No one can sleep tonight unless we get drunk! Oppa, stop daydreaming and come downstairs. Don't be jealous that unnie treats me better." Quan Xingai cheered, hugging Zhenli and He La one in each hand and going downstairs, and by the way, she did not forget to call the dazed Quan Zhilong.

Three women put on a drama, their laughter and noise in the living room could be heard from the third floor. Kwon Ji-yong looked around the purple room with a complicated expression, even noticing her favorite color. All the stars loved her because she was a real Sarah fan, not pretending to be Nuna to get close to her for her own sake.

Yay... what are they now? Is their previous relationship just a dream? To be honest, Kwon Ji-yong has never been the type to take relationships lightly. He takes every relationship seriously, but when it comes to Jeon Seong-ae, he's suddenly at a loss.

He wanted to get closer but was afraid that he was just treating her as a substitute. He ignored her and treated her as an ordinary friend, but he couldn't help his throbbing heart. He smiled bitterly. He obviously came out to relax, but ended up being with Quan Xingai, which only brought him a lot of troubles.

"How was it traveling to Japan with that little girl? You haven't posted on social media in the past two days, and there haven't been any texts or calls. Looks like things are going well?" Zhu He sent a message, teasing him indirectly.

Quan Zhilong shook his head and said that there was no progress. He was already in a mess. He was afraid to take a step forward or back, but he was unwilling to be just friends. He replied casually.

[We're just hanging out with friends. You know company matters are annoying, and you don't want to deal with the social etiquette.]

[Relax, honestly, Quan Xing Ai Xiao is a good match for you. Don't you think she has a kind of enthusiasm? It's exactly what you need right now.]

[Rolling eyes, jpg I'm just taking a break.] Quan Zhilong replied speechlessly.

Everyone felt like they were heartbroken by their teammates. Sad? Probably, but what he was actually feeling now was tired. He had already accepted the current state of the group and didn't even bother to get angry. He had also accepted that Big Bang was practically disbanding. He was just tired, as if he was starting to get tired of this industry.

Since leaving the army, he's been cutting back on socializing. Aside from drinking with Joo Hyuk, he sometimes doesn't bother seeing anyone for a week. He hasn't even contacted Yong Bae in months. When he's alone in the world, it's easier to see his inner self after the hustle and bustle. He's tired of social circles and ineffective interactions.

"Kuanjiyong! Are you sleeping upstairs? We are almost done with the barbecue!" Quan Xingai's disrespectful voice rang out, and Quan Zhilong closed his phone and went downstairs.

"Ah, Quan Xing Ai! No respect for elders or younger ones, who are you calling?"

"Brother Zhilong, Xingai can't drink much. Look how excited she is now. She drank too much. Don't bother with a child." Park Jinri hugged Xingai and Kwon Zhilong and explained.

"Jin Li, although I haven't seen you for a long time, have I become so scary? Look how nervous you are, how could I not know that this guy is drunk? She is used to being disrespectful." Quan Zhilong looked at Jin Li's nervous explanation, smiled, and reached out to ruffle Quan Xingai's hair.

"Don't mess up my hair, Hela, let's have a few more drinks. It's our first time meeting but we feel like old friends right away! Let's drink often in the future!" Quan Xingai shook her head, dodged Quan Zhilong's hand and ran to Hela, holding a cup and chatting with her new friend. She is like that, she likes socializing and making friends, she is a cheerful puppy.

Park Jin-ri laughed, "Ji-ryong hasn't changed. He looks fierce, but he's actually kinder than anyone else. Oh, brother, you weren't also picked up by Xing'ai, were you?"

Old friends sat together and chatted while eating barbecue, and Japanese pop songs from the 1980s were playing on the stereo.

"Also? Zhenli was picked up and taken home by Xingai? What happened to you?" Quan Zhilong asked.

"I thought that my brother was saved by Xing Ai because he was overwhelmed by all kinds of emotions and messy things..." She smiled and took a sip of the peach-flavored cocktail. Her smile was full of relief.

"Jin Li...you, most people in the circle are a little sick, but if you can get through it, the sky will clear up." Quan Zhilong was stunned. Thinking of Quan Xingai, he also felt depressed last year, but he still ran to save Park Jin Li, who was older than him. This guy...

"Brother Zhilong's expression right now is completely 'asshole', and I don't think it's because of me." Park Jin-ri's mentality had calmed down a lot after spending three months in the countryside. Seeing her old friend's gentle smile, she started to tease him.

"Zhen Li, you've changed your skin, but I'm happy to see you guys recover."

"I really want to post on Instagram! Oppa, you haven't updated your social media in the past two days, right? Please don't post it, let me post it, I want to post my status, I'm so happy now, if I can't post a group photo, I can post the moon tonight." Quan Xingai and He La ran to the yard to look at the moon after eating half of their meal, and then ran in to ask Kwon Ji-yong, who is also a social media enthusiast.

"Mo? I want to post it too. What's wrong with that? You post yours and I post mine." Quan Zhilong teased the girl.

"You say you're a senior, but don't you have any anti-reconnaissance awareness? The male and female idols were released one after another, and it's suspected that they were in the same place, so it's easy to be exposed!" Quan Xingai rolled her eyes and continued to speak conscientiously. She was so drunk that she forgot that she and Kwon Ji-yong had avoided Wenchun, D agency and Hollywood paparazzi and had been dating secretly for 4 years. How could she not know how to avoid suspicion?

"Then don't send it, let me send it." The naive senior looked at the girl's dizzy and red face and teased her with a smile.

"Damn." Quan Xingaidu started speaking Japanese. "Alright, whoever gets it first gets to post it. Okay, I've posted it. I got the social media rights. Jiyong, just stay quiet on the internet for the next two days."

"Quan Xing Ai, you're so ungrateful. I'm going to give you a thumbs up right now. Anyway, aren't you worried about the scandal?"

"No, no, no, brother, senior, superstar, please be low-key." Quan Xingai slid down to block Quan Zhilong's phone, fearing that he would really like her again.

"Wow, Xing Ai Ni's IG data is exploding right now. It got so many likes right after it was posted. There are also Korean, English, and Chinese comments below! Oh my." He La shouted behind him.

She and Park Jin-ri now both have a small account to play with. Xing'ai just posted a photo of the full moon they took together in the yard, so she liked Xing'ai's post immediately. Seeing a lot of Chinese words, she clicked the translation button.

[It's the full moon, woo woo woo, today is the Lantern Festival and we're under lockdown here. Xingai, please take care of your health. Let's watch the same moon together.]

"Ah, today is the Lantern Festival, it seems to be a very important festival." He La said.

"Ah, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! I know it's the 'little first lunar month' for planting flowers. Today is a holiday, we should toast!" Quan Xingai looked at the date, and it was indeed the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The Japanese celebrate the Lantern Festival on January 15 of the solar calendar.

The four of them raised their glasses and drank together. Quan Xingai's phone was addicted. He took out his phone and started surfing IG, liking every message from the fans.

Quan Zhilong also switched to his secondary account to see @RD_SARAH's account 15 minutes ago posted: Moon.jpg [Today is a full moon, it must be perfect] After skillfully clicking the like button on his secondary account, he also posted a blurry image of a girl looking at her phone on his secondary account, with the same caption [The Lantern Festival must be perfect]

This small account is not the well-known one that was once stolen. This account was created after New Year's Day. It was created entirely for Quanxingai. Most of the content is abstract sentences that Midnight cannot understand, and there are also blurry and abstract still life photos taken at Quanxingai's home.

The coffee machine, the broken bricks on the terrace, the chocolate milk in the cup, the snow beginning to melt on the windowsill... and today, when everyone was gathered together, the blurry figure of the girl.

This small account, which no one knows about, gives him a sense of security and a desire to share.
