Chapter 58 Let's Change the Bathtub 2/15.23.58

After saying that, Kwon Ji-yong ignored them and turned around to operate the computer.

"..." Everyone watched helplessly as Kwon Ji-yong sent the song demo to An Joo-feng.

"..." The crowd watched helplessly as the other side quickly sent words of praise and appreciation.

Yeah, they really... don't understand.

I don't understand why a single person like me should meddle in the affairs of couples!

Everyone cursed themselves for "meddling," feeling both disgusted with Kwon Ji-yong and somewhat relieved.

I've always sensed that Zhilong and Anrufeng have a good relationship, but I didn't know the specifics. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, their relationship is indeed very good.

Couples must trust each other a lot to be able to make jokes like this.

Seeing Quan Zhilong smiling broadly as he talked to An Rufeng on his phone, everyone suddenly realized that since falling in love, Zhilong often radiated genuine joy and exuded a strong sense of relaxed happiness.

After hanging up the phone with Quan Zhilong, An Rufeng went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes and they ate together.

"How does it feel to be in love?" Mr. An asked with a smile, looking at the smile that his daughter had maintained since talking to her boyfriend.

"Not bad." With the dishes laid out, An Rufeng sat down.

"It's really good," Mrs. An agreed with a smile.

It's pretty good. Since I started dating Kwon Ji-yong, I haven't been as dependent on them. Before, even if we didn't live together, I would stay in their country and not go anywhere else. Now I often go to South Korea.

Dinner was served, and Dad didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, Mr. An took out a tea set and brewed tea for the mother and daughter.

The three chatted while drinking tea.

“We’ve spent enough time in Japan. In a few months, your dad and I are planning to go to Egypt.”

"So fast?!" An Rufeng exclaimed in surprise.

“We’ve been in Japan long enough, and as you should know, we’re going to Egypt around next year.”

Mr. Ann studies intercultural communication. He and Mrs. Ann have lived in different countries, immersing themselves in the real-world environments of different cultures, observing and experiencing as participants, obtaining firsthand information, and understanding the actual behavior and communication methods of people in different cultural backgrounds.

Anru travels through different times and spaces. Apart from basic necessities, there are no restrictions. She can only bring four other items. Anru's father wants her to bring him the research data she will write in the future. He will choose another city in a country that he has not experienced before based on the data and verify it again to ensure the diversity of the research sample.

Because An's father had been to too many countries, and she couldn't bring too much information at once, An Rufeng familiarized herself with her father's information to avoid bringing duplicates. So she was quite familiar with when they were in which countries.

In the previous timeline, it was almost time for An's parents to change countries, and An Rufeng was very sensitive about this.

If they were to go to underdeveloped places like Egypt, she would have to prepare to change time and space.

She doesn't like to stay in underdeveloped areas for long because life there is too inconvenient; she only stays for a few months at most.

I've been living such a comfortable life lately, with family, a loved one, and friends. Life seems to be back on track.

Upon hearing that they were going to Egypt, Anjou Feng suddenly realized that she was not from this time and space.

Somewhat caught off guard, An Rufeng put down the tea she was about to drink, frowned, and remained silent.

When An Rufeng put down her teacup and fell silent, An's parents didn't say much. They said it was just a reminder to her, and that they had decided she should do it herself.

An Rufeng remained lost in her own thoughts until her father finished cleaning the tea set.

An's mother and father are going to meet a friend. He asked An's mother to paint a landscape painting for him. Now that it's finished, they're sending it over to him so they can have a get-together.

“Nature is beautiful precisely because it is ‘imperfect’,” An Rufeng’s mother said softly to An Rufeng as she helped her package the painting, pointing to the messy brushstrokes An Rufeng had deliberately made. “Nature, life, and human existence are art forms that move forward with imperfections; forcing them only makes them less beautiful.”

An Rufeng didn't say anything, but just lowered her head to help her wrap the painting.

An's mother and father were walking on the road.

"What kind of person is Kwon Ji-yong?" Mr. An asked Mrs. An, who had met Kwon Ji-yong.

"He's a very polite and somewhat awkward young man." Mrs. Ahn smiled as she recalled Kwon Ji-yong's clumsy attempts to win her daughter's affections.

Seeing that Mr. An frowned slightly, she added with a smile, "But he's a very reliable person. Think about where Ru Feng goes with Quan Zhilong now. Many times, they don't even bring Brother Li with them."

Upon hearing this, Mr. An thought for a moment and then relaxed his brow.

Brother Li always stays with his daughter, and she's very good at protecting herself. The fact that he doesn't involve him when he's with Kwon Ji-yong shows how much he trusts him. Brother Li also has his own judgment; if Kwon Ji-yong weren't a good person, he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him alone.

Both of them fell silent, feeling a mix of happiness and sadness.

All love in this world grows closer the closer you get, except for the love between parents and children, which gradually separates you.

As a child, she depended on them; her world consisted only of them. As she grew up, she met classmates and friends, gradually becoming independent. One day, she will have a lover, gradually build a new family, and slowly leave their home.

Their departure was so sudden that Ru Feng couldn't accept it. They didn't even get to see Ru Feng find love and gradually build another home she could rely on. Now that she has someone she gets along well with, they hope Ru Feng will be happy and successful, but at the same time, they are somewhat reluctant to let her go.

·

The interior of the studio is brightly lit.

Kwon Ji-yong sat in a chair as the hairstylist skillfully applied the hair dye to his hair with her tools.

After going to Japan for Christmas, Anru Feng stayed in Japan with her parents because the Lunar New Year was just over a month away and she was busy at the end of the year. Kwon Ji-yong also had to prepare for the group's new album. Since it was the busy time for artists at the end of the year, Anru Feng did not go to see Kwon Ji-yong.

After Kwon Ji-yong finished producing his song, he was going to the United States to film the music video. Kwon Ji-yong hadn't seen An Ru-feng for a long time, so he asked An Ru-feng to go to the United States with him.

After the Spring Festival, An's parents went back to their hometown. An Rufeng also wanted to see Quan Zhilong and did not refuse.

Their main itinerary was Las Vegas, where her friend was getting married, and Anjou Feng could attend.

Before going to the United States, Kwon Ji-yong wanted to change his hair color.

An Rufeng stood to the side, her eyes fixed on the change in Quan Zhilong's hair color, her gaze full of envy.

The hairstylist glanced up and saw An Rufeng's expression. A smile curved her lips as she suggested, "If Rufeng likes it, she can get it dyed too."

The hairstylist glanced at Anru Feng again and couldn't help but sigh, "With a face like that, she looks good no matter what color she dyes her hair; there's no need to pick."

Upon hearing this, An Rufeng's eyes lit up instantly, clearly showing her interest.

She reached out and touched her black hair, feeling conflicted. Actually, she had always wanted to change to a lighter hair color, but bleaching would be painful, so she hadn't dyed it yet.

After hesitating for a while, An Rufeng decided not to get dyed.

Kwon Ji-yong reached out and touched her soft, smooth hair. It felt very comfortable to touch, unlike his own hair, which felt like withered weeds because he changed his hair color so often.

Because he was dyeing his hair, he couldn't turn his head, but he smiled at An Rufeng through the mirror: "If you want to try a new hair color, you can use a one-time hair dye."

"I'd rather not," An Rufeng refused. If she tried it, she would want to dye her hair even more, which would only make things more complicated.

“I dyed it for you. Tell me what hair color you like in the future,” Kwon Ji-yong said with a smile.

"Okay." An Rufeng nodded; she had already made up her mind. "How about dyeing it light green next time?"

She even took out her phone and showed him roughly what color it was.

Kwon Ji-yong saw it and thought it was good, planning to try it next time.

After Kwon Ji-yong finished dyeing his hair, he tossed his brand-new blond hair, looked at An Ru-feng, and asked, "How is it?"

Under the cool light of the styling studio, Kwon Ji-yong's already fair skin appeared even more radiant, and his features, accentuated by his blond hair, were more defined, with his eyebrows and eyes exuding a unique refinement and flamboyance.

An Rufeng looked at him carefully, her face full of undisguised admiration: "Very handsome!"

Kwon Ji-yong smiled broadly upon hearing this, his eyes full of laughter. His smile made him seem less distant, revealing a sunny and cheerful young man.

After dyeing his hair, Kwon Ji-yong took An Ru-feng to the company for a meeting, and then went home early so they could catch an early flight.

"Do you like 'Baby Don't Cry'?" This is Daesung's single from the upcoming group album. Just as Kwon Jiyong was packing his luggage, he heard Anru hum a few lines of it while she was getting ready to take a shower.

"It's so good!" An Rufeng listened to the album while they were practicing dance, and fell in love with this song immediately. She was just waiting for it to be officially released so she could add it to her playlist.

"You only like this song, Da Cheng? Don't you like any others?" Kwon Ji Yong turned off the bedside lamp, lay down, and wrapped his arms around An Ru Feng's waist, asking in a wronged tone.

“‘Cafe’ is also very good! I especially love your part.” An Rufeng put her arms around his neck.

Kwon Ji-yong was immediately delighted upon hearing this, and with a smile, he buried his face in her neck and nuzzled her.

"Oh dear, your hair is so stiff." An Rufeng tilted her head back and stretched her neck, gently stroking Quan Zhilong's hair with her slender, soft hand, gesturing for him to look up.

Kwon Ji-yong obediently raised his head, but his hands improperly untied her nightgown.

“Don’t you have to catch an early flight tomorrow…” An Rufeng grabbed his arm.

"It's not like there haven't been times when I stayed up all night to catch a flight early in the morning." Kwon Ji-yong didn't take it seriously. He turned his hand and grabbed An Ru-feng's wrist, pressing the hand that was stopping him from causing trouble against the side of the pillow.

An Rufeng didn't stop him from continuing. She reached out and grabbed his shoulder. After all, she wasn't the one doing the work, nor was she the one catching the early flight.

...

The next day, An Rufeng woke up at noon. She woke up and belatedly realized that a hand was pressing down on her waist. She turned slightly to the side.

Kwon Ji-yong's head was resting on top of her; he was fast asleep.

Perhaps because of An Rufeng's movements, Quan Zhilong also woke up, his eyes still a little sleepy, but his eyes brightened the moment he saw An Rufeng looking at him.

“You missed your flight.” An Rufeng picked up her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time. At this hour, Quan Zhilong’s flight had already taken off.

"I changed my ticket to the afternoon." Kwon Ji-yong's voice was husky and magnetic, as if he had just woken up.

Upon hearing this, An Rufeng glanced at Quan Zhilong, who was confidently saying he could catch the plane, with a half-smile. She stretched, feeling she had slept enough but didn't want to get up.

Kwon Ji-yong was irritated by her gaze.

Anru Feng crossed her arms and lay face down on the pillow.

The blanket covering her slipped off as she moved, revealing her bare back, her dark hair casually draped over it, making her bare back appear even whiter.

Kwon Ji-yong's lips curled up into a mischievous smile, and his hand around her waist gradually moved upwards.

"My back aches, can you massage it for me?" An Rufeng said lazily, closing her eyes.

Quan Zhilong paused, then gently pulled the blanket over An Rufeng's bare shoulders and began to massage her lower back.

"Let's get a new bathtub at home; it's uncomfortable lying down here." An Rufeng also felt some discomfort in her back.

"Okay." Kwon Ji-yong nodded in complete agreement. It really should be replaced; it wasn't big enough.

The two lingered in bed for a while longer before getting up.

His luggage had already been taken away by the staff, so Kwon Ji-yong leisurely stayed at home until the afternoon before taking a plane to the United States.

Anru Feng didn't go with him. They were going to several locations to film. Anru Feng didn't like flying. She would wait until they finished filming in other places and then film in Las Vegas before she would meet up with him.

A few days later, Kwon Ji-yong and his group went to Las Vegas, and An Joo-pung flew there as well.

An Rufeng arrived in the afternoon, US time. She had a good sleep on the plane, and after getting off the plane, she settled in at the hotel and then went to the filming location where Kwon Ji-yong and the others were.

The set was filled with the title track "Tonight," creating a joyful atmosphere as the members joked and played around while filming.

The playful fight scenes were also filmed by the PD and will be released as behind-the-scenes stories later.

Kwon Ji-yong saw An Ru-feng walking towards him from afar, but it wasn't the PD; it was Chloe, the female lead in the music video, filming him. He couldn't leave, so he only glanced at An Ru-feng.

Chole, with her back to Anru Feng, didn't notice her arrival and continued to ask and answer questions for Kwon Ji-yong.

She was curious about Kwon Ji-yong's hair and asked, "May I touch your hair?"

Kwon Ji-yong smiled and said, "Your hair is stiff and might prick your hands, so it's best not to touch it."

Chole sensed his polite refusal but didn't mind, changing the subject: "What's your favorite color?"

“Black.” Kwon Ji-yong glanced at An Joo-fong, who was standing not far away, wearing a black wool coat and with her black hair flowing down.

Chloe laughed and said, "Black doesn't count, it only counts shades?"

"red."

“Yes, it’s a great color. In China, it represents good luck.” Chloe is of Chinese descent, and this was the first thing that came to mind when she heard the color red.

Kwon Ji-yong agreed: "Yes, it's a very beautiful color, a beautiful and happy color."

Kwon Ji-yong glanced at An Joo-bong's red manicure again. It had only been a short time since the New Year, and An Joo-bong still had the manicure she had done for the holiday.

Kwon Ji-yong looked in one direction, and Chloe noticed him too. She turned her head and saw a tall, very beautiful woman.

They don't look like staff members at all.

Chloe paused filming, put down the camera, and asked Kwon Ji-yong with a smile, "Girlfriend?"

Kwon Ji-yong smiled, nodded, and walked towards An Joo-feng.

Seeing that they had stopped filming, An Rufeng went over to them as well.

As she got closer, Anru Feng was surprised to find that the person filming Kwon Ji-yong was not the PD, but Chloe, the actress who played the female lead in the American TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She genuinely followed the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and was very optimistic about the pairing of Skye and Ward. She was hurt when she learned that Ward was a Hydra agent.

I watched all four seasons, but after Ward died in the Frame, Anjou felt that things were no longer possible for them, so I dropped the show.

Chole is definitely the female lead in the music video here. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't been filmed yet, and I didn't expect that Chole had actually worked with Bigbang.

When Kwon Ji-yong saw that An Yeo-feng had taken the initiative to greet Chloe, he introduced the two of them to each other.

The three chatted for a while. When Chloe learned that Anru Feng was Chinese, she was quite surprised that Kwon Ji-yong would have a Chinese girlfriend. As far as she knew, their group had been developing their careers in Japan and South Korea.

Chole is of Chinese descent and speaks Chinese; Anru Feng chatted with her in Chinese.

Chole was even more surprised to see that Kwon Ji-yong could chat with them so fluently in Chinese.

"I won't bother you anymore." Chloe smiled, chatted with Anru Feng and the others for a while, and then went to film the other people.

"You just got off the plane, why aren't you resting at the hotel?" Chole left, and there were no other PDs filming Kwon Ji-yong. Since there were no cameras, he simply put his arm around An Ru-feng.

"I'm not tired, so I might as well come out for a walk." After spending so much time in such a small space on the plane, she didn't want to stay in the hotel again.

Kwon Ji-yong smiled and didn't say anything more. He leaned closer to her cheek and pressed his face against hers. She preferred the natural and open outdoors to the indoors.

"Your hands are so cold." Kwon Ji-yong's cheeks were cool. It was winter, and An Ru-feng noticed that he was wearing only two thin layers of clothing. She took his hand.

"I'm not cold, I'm used to this temperature." Feeling An Rufeng's warm hand, Quan Zhilong moved his hand away from her to avoid making her feel cold.

As an entertainer and fashion icon, Kwon Ji-yong often wears clothes out of season, and although his hands are cold, he doesn't feel cold.

“I’m not cold either.” An Rufeng was dressed warmly and took Quan Zhilong’s hand again.

Kwon Ji-yong smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling, and didn't dodge away anymore. Soon, his hands were warm from being covered in the warm cloth.

The music video was filmed into the night.

As night falls, the outlines of the city's buildings are drawn out by a series of smooth and gorgeous light strips, huge neon signs flash dazzling light, and LCD advertising screens play gorgeous images.

On the streets, luxury cars flowed like silver fish, weaving through a sea of ​​lights and stirring up breezes that carried the scent of money.

The entire city of Las Vegas is illuminated as if it were daytime, with neon lights, laser beams, sound and light shows, luxurious hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues, making you feel as if you are on a giant entertainment stage.

There's no need to specifically find the right angle for the shot; every corner of Las Vegas perfectly matches the scenes in the "Tonight" music video.

The music video shoot went very smoothly.

After filming the music video, everyone went their separate ways.

When you come to Las Vegas, you have to experience its unique entertainment activities, such as gambling.

The two went to a casino on the Las Vegas Strip and exchanged $500,000 for chips.

Kwon Ji-yong was good at playing cards, but he wasn't good at this game, and neither was An Yeo-pung. The two of them quickly lost all their chips.

Feeling no sense of accomplishment, the two found it boring and left.

Las Vegas is a world-renowned entertainment capital, and of course, it has more than just casinos. It also boasts numerous other entertainment venues, such as a large number of theaters and a variety of spectacular shows, including concerts, song and dance shows, magic shows, comedy shows, and theatrical performances.

The two weren't interested in the casino, so they went to see all sorts of shows: Cirque du Soleil performances, Celine Dion's resident concert, Chris Angel's magic show, the musical "Le Rêve"...

These were all performances of artistic merit, and An Joo-bong and Kwon Ji-yong were thoroughly satisfied.

Las Vegas is also a world-renowned wedding destination. When Anjou and Quan Zhilong were there, they encountered many newlyweds.

In churches, in luxury hotels, in front of the Bellagio fountains, on the racetrack...

When Anru Feng and Quan Zhilong went to ride the Ferris wheel for sightseeing, they encountered a wedding that had booked the entire space, and a couple was going to hold their wedding on the Ferris wheel.

The cabins of the High Roller Ferris Wheel can accommodate about 40 people. The newlyweds' relatives and friends were not present, so they brought Anru Feng, Quan Zhilong, and some passersby as witnesses.

Anjou and Quan Zhilong gladly accepted, and the two not only enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding area, but also witnessed one of the happiest and most heartwarming scenes in the world, with the newlyweds embracing and laughing.

When Anru Feng and Quan Zhilong went to the helicopter company to rent a helicopter, they also encountered a newlywed couple who were going to hold their wedding on the helicopter. When the two of them were sitting in the helicopter and looking down at the Red Rock Canyon from the air, they saw another helicopter carrying a newlywed couple to land on a private cliff to hold their wedding.

Anru Feng couldn't help but marvel at the sheer number of wedding options in Las Vegas, and how comprehensive and powerful the wedding planning services were.

"What kind of wedding does Ru Feng like?" Perhaps because he had seen too many weddings in the past few days, or perhaps because he saw the newlyweds standing opposite each other in their wedding attire on the cliff, Quan Zhilong couldn't help but look at An Ru Feng and ask.

“As long as I have the blessings of family and friends, any kind of wedding is fine, because I’ve never experienced one before,” An Rufeng said after a pause.

Despite having attended many other people's weddings, Anru Feng still enthusiastically brought Quan Zhilong to attend the wedding of her friends Mia and Finn.

Mia and Finn's wedding was held in the desert; Las Vegas wedding service providers can do anything.

The wedding was scheduled for dusk, when the golden sands shimmered under the blazing sun, stretching endlessly as if merging with the horizon.

Amidst the sandy waves, a simple archway built of logs and flowers trembles gently in the breeze. Vines entwined around it are adorned with all kinds of flowers, and petals occasionally fall and scatter on the sand, creating a natural and romantic scene.

Anru Feng, Kwon Ji-yong, and other guests sat scattered on chairs covered with coarse hemp and animal hides.

Not far away, a huge bonfire was still burning, the logs exuding a rustic aroma, and various exquisite desserts and bubbling, chilled champagne were placed next to it, the light reflecting off the glasses dancing among the crowd.

As the wedding march played, the bride and groom, hand in hand and barefoot, slowly walked down the sand.

The sand shimmered softly in the sunlight, like a golden carpet laid out by nature for this wedding.

The bride wore a flowing white tulle dress, the hem of which stirred up fine dust with her light steps; the groom wore a simple linen shirt and khaki trousers, and smiled brightly.

After the vows were exchanged, during the ring exchange, the bride, Mia, suddenly grabbed the microphone, smiled playfully, and said in a clear voice to the guests, "We asked someone to hide the wedding ring on someone here! Now we don't know who has the ring, so everyone please look for it."

Finn took the microphone, smiled broadly, and said excitedly, "Let's see who it is, and then they can give us their sincerest blessings!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into a gasp, and immediately began to search their own bodies.

Anru Feng was stunned for a moment before laughing. Mia and Finn liked to hold weddings in parallel universes and were dedicated to experiencing all kinds of different weddings. They were capable of doing something like this.

Kwon Ji-yong glanced at the composed An Ru-feng, then began searching for his ring.

Anru Feng subconsciously reached into her pocket, her fingertips touching a soft object.

A thought struck her, and she took it out to look inside. It was a small white velvet bag.

She slowly opened the bag, and a dazzling diamond ring appeared before her eyes. The diamond reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, making her squint slightly.

The ring was with her! An Rufeng couldn't help but smile.

Quan Zhilong turned his head and saw An Rufeng looking at the diamond ring, her eyes full of smiles and surprise. Her bright eyes seemed to hold a clear spring. His heart softened suddenly, as if struck by something.

Anru Feng and another lady smiled as they presented the wedding rings to the playful bride and groom, allowing them to exchange them.

"Wow, it's Rufeng and Ruby who gave us their blessings! Thank you!" Finn smiled brightly.

“We also sincerely wish you all the best,” Mia said with a smile, winking at Anru Feng.

An Rufeng was puzzled by her sudden wink, but didn't have time to ask further and returned to her seat, still confused.

It wasn't until Mia and Finn exchanged rings that Anjoufeng understood what Mia meant.

When Mia tossed the bouquet, she didn't turn around. She watched as An Rufeng tossed the flowers into her arms, and she laughed and said loudly, "This is my blessing for you!"

An Rufeng was completely bewildered. Her first thought was, "Mia has a really strong hand. She was sitting in the last row and she was hit so accurately."

The people attending Mia and Finn's wedding were all relatives and friends; there weren't many people, so it was easy to tell that Anju Feng and Quan Zhilong were a couple.

Seeing An Rufeng catch the bouquet, everyone looked at Quan Zhilong, showing encouraging and kind smiles.

Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but smile shyly under everyone's gaze. He wanted to cover his face to hide it, but he held back and turned to look at An Ru-feng with a smile.

An Rufeng looked at Quan Zhilong's smiling, bright eyes, which held a hint of anticipation.

She smiled at Kwon Ji-yong.

Then he turned around, his back to the crowd.

Everyone thought she was just shy, but Kwon Ji-yong knew she was crying.

Seeing An Rufeng's tears flowing more and more uncontrollably, Kwon Ji-yong panicked and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

An Rufeng wiped away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed: "It's okay... I just feel that I'm very happy now, so happy, so incredibly happy. This is the happiest time of my life." She has family, friends, and a lover.

"But why are you crying so sadly?"

An Rufeng paused for a moment: "Because anything, once it reaches its peak, will start to decline."
