A big-shot and his young wife, tropes and subversions of tropes - when it comes to love, whoever falls first loses.
The first meeting:
From the female lead's perspective: Hmm, that ...
Black pork 1
Half an hour later, G-Dragon drove Su You to the airport. Because it was a last-minute decision to travel, no one knew their itinerary, but to be on the safe side, they boarded the plane separately. After boarding, their seats were a row apart, one in front of the other. During the one-hour flight, they each took a nap. When the plane was about to land, the flight attendant woke them up. After getting ready, they tacitly turned on their phones.
"Little Yuzu, wait for me in the parking lot later. I had a friend drive over." — G-Dragon
“Okay, Oppa, I’ll go out first.” — Su You
After the plane came to a stop, Su You followed the crowd off the plane and headed straight for the parking lot. Once there, she found a shady spot, told G-Dragon her approximate location on her phone, and waited. It proved true: pretty girls attract attention no matter what they wear or where they are. Su You, dressed casually in the same clothes she wore for lunch, stood idly in the shade, unaware that a blond, blue-eyed foreign man had been following her since she got off the plane, all the way to the parking lot, observing her intently. Five minutes later, the blond man seemed to have finally confirmed something, and approached her with a smile, "Hello, can you speak English?" Su You, who was scrolling through Instagram, was startled by the sudden voice, but instinctively replied, "Yes, can I help you?"—a familiar dialogue from her English textbook (Su You: What do I do? Is it my fault?).
For ease of reading, the following dialogue is entirely in Chinese (the author absolutely denies that it's because he types Chinese faster...).
"Hello, I'm Joe, from Germany. I'm a freelance traveler and a nature photographer..." The foreign guy was introducing himself. Thanks to the widespread anti-fraud campaigns in China, Su You was on guard from his very first sentence, thinking, "Oppa, when are you coming out? Your cute little Yuzu is about to be kidnapped!" Perhaps Su You's wariness was too strong for the foreign guy to ignore, so he quickly waved his hand, "I mean no harm. Look, this is my YouTube account. I've collaborated with some magazines and taken photos for some celebrities." He handed his phone to Su You, who took it with some skepticism. Seeing that it really was as he said—he had taken photos for some European and American celebrities and interacted with them on YouTube—it seemed he wasn't a scammer.
"So, what brings you here?" Su You asked, somewhat curious. She wasn't a celebrity, so what could he possibly want from her? "Well, it's like this. I'm currently working on a photography exhibition themed around nature and life, and I haven't been able to find a suitable model. Just now, when I got off the plane, I saw the sunlight shining on you. You didn't shy away; instead, you smiled at the sunlight. In that instant, I knew I had found you, so I couldn't help but take a picture of you. I was wondering if you could grant me permission to include this photo in my exhibition. Here it is, the picture from just now."
Joe picked up the camera hanging around his neck and showed Su You the photos they had just taken. Su You turned to look at the camera. The girl in the photo only occupied a quarter of the frame. The warm sunlight, delicate and translucent, fell on the girl, gliding through her dark hair. It shone on her smooth, alabaster skin, reflecting a jade-like radiance, making her appear almost ethereal, like crystal. Most wonderfully, the girl wore a warm and gentle smile, instantly evoking feelings of warmth and beauty. Just as described in Song Yu's "The Rhapsody of Deng Tu Zi's Lust," "Adding an inch would make her too tall, subtracting an inch would make her too short; applying powder would make her too white, applying rouge would make her too red. Her eyebrows were like kingfisher feathers, her skin like white snow, her waist like a bound ribbon, her teeth like pearls." Su You couldn't even recognize herself in the photo. She could only mentally give a thumbs up. This photographer named Joe was something else...
Seeing that Su You seemed quite satisfied with the photos, Joe tentatively extended an invitation, "Are you also traveling alone? If it's convenient, do you have time to take a few more photos? Don't worry, you can review all the photos. I'll only use the ones you approve of, and all proceeds from the photos will go to charity, donated to legitimate environmental and animal protection organizations. I can send you the donation certificate later." Su You tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said to Joe, "I can authorize you to use the photos I just took. I'm honored to contribute to environmental protection. But as for taking other photos... I'm sorry, I came with my boyfriend this time. He went to drive, and we don't have much time in Jeju Island, so I might not be able to find the time to cooperate with your photoshoot."
Joe looked at Su You, and although he was disappointed, his gentlemanly manners prevented him from pressing the matter further. He simply exchanged INS with Su You so that she could know how the photos would be used later. "Ring ring," Su You's phone rang. It was Kwon Ji-yong calling. Su You nodded to Joe and answered, "Little You, I found the car. It's coming over now. It's a black Mercedes, license plate number 5540. You can slowly walk towards the intersection now..." "OK, okay, I'm coming now." After replying to Kwon Ji-yong, Su You didn't hang up. She simply smiled and turned to Joe, saying, "Sorry, I have to go now. My boyfriend is here. I wish you success with your photography exhibition and a pleasant trip!" After saying that, Su You turned and walked towards the intersection without waiting for his reply. Joe only saw Su You get into a black Mercedes. The car window was half open, and the person in the driver's seat was wearing sunglasses and talking to Su You with a smile. As the car passed by him, he felt that the person in the driver's seat looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Upon picking up Su You, Kwon Ji-yong curiously asked who she had been talking to. Su You looked at him with a grin and said proudly, "A YouTuber asked me to take a picture. He's photographed many European and American celebrities. When I got off the plane, he took a picture of me and asked for permission to put it in his photography exhibition. That picture was so beautiful! I agreed, and he wanted to take more pictures of me. But I thought about how we promised to spend more time with you these past few days, so I declined. Aren't I a good girl!"
Seeing her smug little expression, G-Dragon said in agreement, "Hmm, our little Yuzu is so good! Looks like I should reward my little Yuzu properly!"
