Chapter 63 Chapter 63 A Sea Called Zhilong

The TV series was more than halfway through its airing, and the ratings for the company's blind date program were already heading towards 20%. However, due to work and contractual reasons, Jeon Star Love's TV series was still only 12 episodes in the end. However, due to the good ratings, the two of them filmed a lot of variety shows and couple pictorials. The SBS staff also said that although it was only the beginning of the year, they had basically locked in the best CP of the year. Every staff member who met her and Ahn So-seop had a smile on their face.

During this busy time, Jeon Xingai didn't realize that she hadn't seen Kwon Ji-yong for a month. He seemed to be really busy, traveling back and forth between Korea and the United States.

When Quan Xingai was playing Shin Ha-ri, she also unconsciously empathized with the character. She felt sorry for Ha-ri, who looked like a little sun but was actually sensitive and inferior. She thought she had a crush on someone else, but in fact she had liked the president for a long time, but did not dare to take that step forward because of the gap between them.

Xia Li is really a very cute heroine. She really likes this character, this little sun-like girl. During the time she spends with her, she seems to be slowly healing Quan Xing'ai, who doesn't believe in love.

"Xing Ai--" Chi Mingzhen interrupted Xing Ai's thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone came to visit the set - I'm sorry, a senior came to visit, director-nim, please interrupt the filming." Ji Mingzhen answered Xing Ai while saying sorry to the director.

"It's okay, filming hasn't started yet. Go and do "Star Love You." The director waved it off. After a moment's thought, he turned back curiously to see which senior had come to visit. "Xiao Xie, who's visiting? You look so tall and handsome, but you're totally unattractive!"

An Xiaoxie sighed. Although he was dressed in a mature coat and looked like a boss, he became dejected as soon as the scene ended. "Director, Xing Ai said from the beginning that she would not be in a relationship with me. Forget it."

"Director-nim, An Xiaoxiexi, thank you for taking care of Xingai over the past few months." No way, this voice sounds so familiar, the director thought as he turned around -

"Oh my! Get out of here! Zhilong!" The director was shocked. What was going on? He glanced at An Xiaoxie, and the other's wry smile told the director that his love rival was indeed no ordinary person.

"Yes, I've been wanting to come visit the set for a while, but I just couldn't find the time. Tonight I've booked a Korean beef buffet at the barbecue restaurant. They're open all night, so please don't hesitate to come and visit us."

The director burst out laughing. The legendary black card holder was indeed different. His aura completely overwhelmed An Xiaoxie. How to say it, if the opponent was GD, then it would not be unfair for him to lose.

"Oppa? You--" Jeon Xingai went to the nanny car and drove around but didn't see any seniors who came to visit the set. When she returned to the set, she saw a man dressed in black and dressed low-key standing not far away. Ji Mingzhen didn't recognize that it was Kwon Ji-yong, but Jeon Xingai saw him at a glance.

"Why is our Xing'ai's nose so red from the cold?" Seeing the girl coming over with an incredible expression on her face, Quan Zhilong skillfully put his arm around Xing'ai's shoulders and interrupted her. Then the editor and the crew bowed slightly and took Xing'ai back to the car.

"Wait, wait, you, why are you here all of a sudden?" Quan Xingai was completely confused. Why did Quan Zhilong suddenly come here without saying a word? Wasn't he in the United States?

Of course, Quan Zhilong heard Quan Xingai's question, but he didn't answer. The two of them sat face to face in the nanny car, with only each other and the dim ceiling light. Quan Zhilong looked at Xingai intently. It was really strange. He used to think that she and Sarah were nothing alike, but now he felt that their eyes were exactly the same. Their eyes were always so cunning, hateful, cute, and infuriating.

As he watched, his eyes became red.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who bullied you? Why are your eyes red? Zhilong, why do you look like you're about to cry?" Seeing Quan Zhilong's aggrieved look, Quan Xingai suddenly became anxious, her eyes widened and she held the man's cheeks.

"Xing Ai - I miss you so much." He was silent for a while and finally spoke with a slightly tearful voice, feeling extremely moved. His eyes were still staring at the woman in front of him without blinking, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"It's only been a month since we last met, you're exaggerating..." Quan Xingai let go of the other person speechlessly, but Quan Zhilong grabbed her hand and interlocked their fingers.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. I haven't seen you for a month, but it feels like I haven't seen you for a lifetime. I miss you so much." Quan Zhilong still couldn't control himself and hugged Quan Xingai in his arms. His heart was now filled with joy and touching emotions. All other things were put aside. He just wanted to quietly enjoy the space of only the two of them.

Of course, he wanted to question the other party immediately, why didn't he tell him, was he afraid that he wouldn't believe it, or didn't want to see him, but soon Quan Zhilong himself denied this decision. He was not the impulsive self he was ten years ago. He served in the military, experienced the ups and downs of the team, and the turbulent entertainment industry. Most importantly, he confirmed that Nu Na was still by his side, which meant that Quan Zhilong had made a decision. Sooner or later, he would let Quan Xingai know that Quan Zhilong was the person in the world who understood her best and the person who was most suitable for her.

Questioning her now, forcing her to answer, would only make this woman run further away. Quan Zhilong had already made up his mind. He had to make all the necessary preparations and then weave a fine net to completely wrap her up.

After reviewing the night they spent together, Quan Zhilong easily deduced Xingai's thoughts. He knew that he occupied a special place in Xingai's heart, but for some reason they could not reach the stage of love. Quan Xingai wanted to divert her emotional attention and focus her heart on filming.

He and Nuna have known each other and been in love for so long, how could he not understand her? She is soft-hearted and affectionate, but at the same time stubborn and ruthless, like a child. But it doesn't matter. He is 10 years older than Nuna now. He will slowly penetrate and spread like water, until Xingai comes to her senses and finds that she is surrounded by a sea called Quan Zhilong.

"Okay, now you've met me, I'm fine. Oh, by the way, have you seen my drama? It's super popular, right? Did I act pretty well?" Quan Xingai patted Quan Zhilong on the back to comfort him.

"Yeah, I saw it. Xing'ai's acting is getting better and better. I almost thought you..."

"What?"

"It's nothing. I haven't seen you for a month. I'm very happy to see that my little friend is becoming more and more popular." Kwon Ji-yong showed a sincere smile.

"Really?" Quan Xingai looked at the other person suspiciously. This guy doesn't seem to have such a big belly.

"Of course, I skipped all the love scenes with Xing Ai."

"Please, there won't be anything left if I delete the love part of this movie." Quan Xingai speechlessly let down her guard. She said that Quan Zhilong didn't seem like someone who would appreciate her love scenes generously.

"Xing Ai, it's time to get ready for filming." Chi Mingzhen knocked on the door outside the car and reminded.

"Okay, I'm coming out." Quan Xingai responded, then looked at Quan Zhilong, "Go back, you won't like the scene you're filming later."

"Mo, it's not such a coincidence that we come here to watch Xing Ai film a kissing scene?" Quan Zhilong asked in disbelief.

Quan Xingai smiled apologetically and shrugged to indicate that it was just an unfortunate coincidence. She didn't want to always encounter such a Shura field!

Although he had figured out that he had to be a patient hunter, Quan Zhilong was still furious when he thought about Xing Ai having to film a kissing scene with someone else. After taking a long, deep breath, he put on a fake smile again, "Our Xing Ai is going to film a kissing scene. Do you have the heart to let me watch you kiss someone else?"

"Then don't watch it and go home." Quan Xingai muttered.

"But I already know, why would I leave? Wouldn't it be more sad if I can't see and have to rely on my own imagination..." Quan Zhilong lowered his eyes and pouted his lips, looking pitiful. His current look was like a beautiful girl, and his aggrieved look made Quan Xingai unable to bear to drive him away.

"Then... then you wait for me in the car. We can go home after filming this scene." Quan Xingai thought about it and spoke reluctantly.

Quan Zhilong looked up at the girl, gently caressed her cheek, and moved closer and closer. He whispered in a baby voice: "I miss you so much. Can you reward me? Then I won't disturb you from filming. I will wait for you quietly and patiently."

If there were a heartbeat device like the one used for the "chemistry test" now, it would show that Jeon Seong-ae's heartbeat instantly soared to over 150, and then soared again as Quan Zhilong got closer, until he kissed her, and her heartbeat reached 180.

When Chi Mingzhen knocked on the door again to urge her, she heard a bang on the car roof from inside, and then the door opened and Quan Xingai came out clumsily with a suspicious blush on her face. She looked into the car and saw the golden-haired Quan Zhilong leaning back in the chair with a satisfied smile, still playing with the mobile phone that Quan Xingai had forgotten.

"Xing'aina, did you forget your cell phone?" asked the satisfied lion.

"Oh, give it to me..." Xing Ai said expressionlessly, trying to calm her heartbeat.

"What are you doing?" The confused assistant wanted to gossip.

"Let's... let's go, unnie, to shoot..." Quan Xingai, who gradually regained her senses after being blown by the cold wind, took a deep breath for a while before letting the makeup artist touch up her makeup and then returned to the set to start shooting.

And a certain superstar was indeed watching silently, and even though he was so angry that he was fuming, he still had to keep smiling, gritting his teeth and watching with clenched fists.

*

Ever since Quan Zhilong returned from his busy trip to the United States, Quan Xingai felt that something had changed about him. When asked about what happened in the United States, he refused to say anything, looking vulnerable and hurt. Ah Xi... Was he bullied in the United States? Zhilong, he was bullied before he even set foot in the United States?

She was a little worried about Quan Zhilong, but this guy had become mysterious now. Seeing her always smiling and saying something but not saying it, Quan Xingai hated riddlers the most! But she couldn't help but care about him and wanted to find out what was going on.

At the end of March, the company's blind date ended perfectly with a viewership rating of 20.2%. In Netflix's online variety show, All Star Love said that if the final viewership rating reached 20%, they would ask Ahn So Seob to record a male and female duet version of the OST. In the end, the viewership rating really reached 20%, and the duet version of the OST was put on the agenda.

"Are you writing a new arrangement for your chorus?" A sour voice sounded, and Quan Xingai knew it was Kwon Ji-yong without even looking back.

"Yes, the chorus parts are different, I want to re-arrange it." Quan Xingai, wearing a pair of Gi plain glasses, sat in the production room, his fingers flying in front of the music score on the computer.

"The finale has been filmed, and you've been feeling down for several days. Why are you still immersed in the drama?" Quan Zhilong sighed. Xing Ai always takes every filming seriously and it is a long process for her to finish the filming. He feels a little distressed and wants to take her out to relax, but both of them are prone to being followed by paparazzi, and it is not like a decade ago when they could rely on dodging and disguise to deceive various eyes.

"Oh—Oppa, no, I'm not immersed in it." Quan Xingai was not in the mood. A few days ago, after work, she just felt like her nose was a little blocked. At first, she thought she was really too immersed in the role and hadn't come out after so long? It wasn't until she sneezed three times in a row that she realized, oh, it's a cold, it's okay.

"Why are you listless?" Quan Zhilong frowned. This guy wouldn't be staying up all night again. He stroked Xing'ai's forehead and said, "Oh my, Xing'ai, you seem to have a fever!!"

Quan Zhilong widened his eyes and suddenly shouted. Quan Xingai touched his forehead:

"Ah, no wonder my head hurts so much, it turns out I have a fever - Mo? Fever? Oppa!! You, you, you, please stay away from me! I have a fever, could I be infected??" Although there is a vaccine now and the global epidemic seems to have finally been brought under control, fever can still easily scare everyone.

"It's already this late! Still thinking about these things! I'm going to find Ji Myung-jin, you stay here and don't move!" Kwon Ji-yong didn't hide his panicked expression. He rushed out of Star Love's production studio and started making anxious phone calls while running to find a thermometer. Halfway through the run, he became worried about what if he was also infected. He couldn't go to other floors, so he simply called his assistant and the head of administration.

Today is the weekend and it is early in the morning. There are not many people in the company, only trainees and dance teachers. After the people in each office received the call, there was a flurry of activity. Ji Mingzhen handed the medicine box to Quan Zhilong wearing a mask.

"Senior, luckily you don't have a fever. Here is some disinfectant alcohol and nasal test kit. Just in case, let Xing Ai test it first."

"Yes, I understand." Kwon Ji-yong took the medicine box and ran back to the production room. Quan Xingai's face was still a little red, and she was drinking water frantically with her cup.

"Let's check the temperature first - 38.8, you have a fever indeed! Then, let's do a test with the reagent -" Quan Zhilong watched Xing Ai testing herself for the new coronavirus, and he was so nervous that he almost died. It was not until he saw the negative sign that he notified others with a sense of relief.

"Fortunately, it's just a fever... My nose was a little blocked a few days ago, and I thought I was healthy and nothing was wrong." Quan Xingai was also shocked and lay on the sofa.

"You, you guy, you scared me to death, you know! I finally met you - don't leave me again -" Kwon Ji-yong was frightened and more nervous than anyone else. He hugged Jeon Xingai in his arms and whispered.

"Okay, okay, I'm the one with a fever, but baby Zhilong is the fragile one. I'm fine, a fever is just a small matter." Quan Xingai felt dizzy and leaned in Quan Zhilong's arms to comfort him.

"I'll ask Ji Mingzhen to take you to the hospital for a check-up later, and I'll help you complete your arrangement." Quan Zhilong said while hugging Xingai.

"I'm fine, there's no need to go to the hospital..."

"No, you must go. Are you worried about your song? Or are you worried that I will ruin your song?" Quan Zhilong looked at the stubborn child who didn't want to go to the hospital and knocked her hot head.

"I think I can hold on with one pill!"

"How about I take you there? I'll take you to the hospital. Let's go now." Kwon Ji-yong put his coat on Xing Ai, then picked up the girl and pretended to leave now.

"No, no, no, Oppa, I'd better stay with Mingzhen unnie, you can help me compose the music." When Quan Xingai heard that Kwon Ji-yong wanted to take her to the hospital, she gave up her fantasy and agreed to go with the assistant for a check-up.

After a while, Wu Xianhao and Ji Mingzhen came and accompanied Quan Xingai to the hospital for an injection. It would be okay to have a fever in this spring when the weather is still cold, but if it was the new coronavirus, that would be really bad.

"Oppa, go slow with the arrangement, and don't make the style too prominent." Before leaving, Jeon Seong-ae pulled Kwon Ji-yong aside and kept talking to him about the arrangement. Wu Xianhao didn't know whether to be relieved or distressed. His son had a fever but his mind was still full of work.

"Thank you, Zhilong. I'll take this girl to the hospital first. She hasn't been sick for many years. It's really scary for her to have a fever at this time! Fortunately, we are allowed to go now. If it were last year, you would have to be quarantined." Wu Xianhao muttered with concern.

"Alaso, Alaso, Dad, your noise is making my head buzz. Don't tell Eunmi, Yeonjin and the others." Quan Xingai wrapped herself tightly and left the company.

Quan Zhilong slumped on the sofa feeling helpless. So many years have passed, even if it happened again, he would not be able to walk with Nuna openly. It was Nuna who sacrificed more back then, so let him come now.

With a wry smile, he sat in Quan Xing Ai's seat and began to patiently help her complete the rest of the arrangement work. He arranged the chorus with other men himself... Forget it, Nu Na returned to his side. He had encountered such a fantastic thing, so what were all the other things?

After comforting himself, Kwon Ji-yong put on headphones and started to work on Xing Ai. The arrangement was completed in the afternoon. He packed up his things and prepared to leave when he remembered that he seemed to have put his coat on Xing Ai when he sent her away in the morning.

Worrying too much makes you confused. Quan Zhilong shook his head and called Wu Xianhao.

"Brother, is Xingai okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a fever. She's been given an injection and is ready to be sent home. Don't worry, she's healthy."

"Huh—that's good. I'm going back now. I'll take care of her tonight."

"Jilong, well, okay, I don't have any position. As for Xingai, please bear with me." Wu Xianhao sighed deeply, and felt more and more that Quan Zhilong seemed to like Quan Xingai very much. He looked at the girl who was sleeping in a mess while receiving an IV drip with a complicated expression, and thought - if she doesn't even want a boyfriend like Quan Zhilong, what kind of boyfriend does Quan Xingai want?

Hearing the news that she was healthy and safe, Quan Zhilong felt relieved and the stuffy feeling in his chest was gone. It turned out that Xing loved her more than he thought, and he never wanted to experience the feeling of loss again.
