An Ruofeng is an unapproachable person, yet Quan Zhilong finally managed to ...
Chapter 64 I'm sorry. 2/27.23.44
"You..." It has to be said that Quan Zhilong's threat of suicide has firmly grasped An Rufeng's weakness, and the balance has tipped in his favor.
Anru muttered to herself, "Why didn't you take me with you to die?"
This is the best and easiest way; she doesn't have to choose anything.
"Is your heart made of stone? You said you could compromise if your friend threatened to kill himself, but what about me? Do you even love me?" Kwon Ji-yong heard this, and to him, it meant she would rather die now than have any confidence in their future.
Kwon Ji-yong closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again: "I will do it. Since you won't leave with your love for me, then leave with deep guilt towards me!"
Kwon Ji-yong's resolute amber eyes revealed a deep sadness and hurt.
After saying that, as if afraid that An Rufeng would say something he didn't want to hear, he turned and left.
This time he's really gone, and he's never coming back.
For the next few days, Kwon Ji-yong avoided An Yeo-feng and stayed in his dorm instead of his apartment.
An Rufeng tried to contact him, but he didn't respond.
"Is Kwon Ji-yong next to you?" An Rufeng called Da Cheng again.
Dae-sung looked at Kwon Ji-yong with a bitter expression. Kwon Ji-yong glanced at him, and Dae-sung knew that he was being told to say he wasn't there.
But Da Cheng couldn't say he wasn't there with a clear conscience. He didn't know how to answer An Rufeng. Both of them were very close to him, and he was caught in the middle.
Da Cheng didn't respond immediately, so An Ru Feng knew that Quan Zhilong was definitely there, but Da Cheng couldn't answer directly because of Quan Zhilong's status as the team leader and brother.
"Okay, I understand." An Rufeng didn't want to make things difficult for Dacheng and hung up the phone directly.
An Rufeng wanted to communicate with Quan Zhilong, but his attitude showed he was unwilling to communicate, so there was no point in her asking him directly.
Da Cheng felt a little guilty after his call was hung up. He looked at Quan Zhilong, who was silent to the side, and after thinking for a moment, he finally asked, "Brother, what exactly happened between you and Ru Feng?"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you're having a conflict, it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later. Ru Feng has been looking for you."
Unlike Da Cheng's tactful approach, Tap was more direct: "Zhi Long, Ru Feng, a girl, has taken the initiative so many times. You, a man, why are you hiding like this? If there's a conflict, you have to resolve it, right? Do you want to be dumped?"
In the past, Tap would never have said these things. If Jiyong wanted to break up, he would reduce or stop contacting the other person, letting them initiate the breakup. That's exactly what he's been doing lately.
But looking at him, he didn't think he wanted to break up, so he nudged him to prevent him from regretting it later.
Taeyang felt that Kwon Ji-yong had been unusually calm lately. Apart from rushing to his regular schedules and not locking himself in his room, he seemed to be in a state of listlessness and depression, much like after the drug news broke.
Could it be that Ru Feng wants to break up? Is that why Zhi Long is avoiding the situation and can't face it?
Taeyang said to the silent Kwon Ji-yong, "No matter what happens, running away is not the solution. We need to communicate and meet to solve the problem."
"Youngbae... what should I do? I really want to get married." Kwon Jiyong buried his head in his knees and murmured.
In his career, he knows that every ups and downs are inevitable, and he can calmly accept a decline in popularity and a career that is no longer at its peak. But when it comes to happiness, he seems unable to accept it; having experienced happiness, how can he accept losing it?
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. Were Zhilong and Rufeng having a disagreement about moving to the next stage of their lives?
The group exchanged glances and then moved closer to Kwon Ji-yong. Tap said, "If you want to get married, then get married. I want to sing the congratulatory song alone, not with them."
Da Cheng said, "Ru Feng likes my singing, so I will sing a congratulatory song separately."
Taeyang patted Kwon Ji-yong on the shoulder: "I want to dance a solo at your wedding."
The youngest member laughed and said, "I want to be the MC!"
They weathered such a huge storm last year, so what's the turmoil of getting married? Besides, after what happened last year, everyone has come to terms with it. Although they still want to do better, they have a more peaceful mindset and are better able to face gains and losses with equanimity.
Upon hearing this, Kwon Ji-yong didn't say anything, but simply buried his head even deeper.
An Rufeng persisted in contacting him for a while, but Quan Zhilong remained uncooperative. An Rufeng got angry and simply stopped contacting him altogether.
She just wanted to ask him clearly if he really wanted to do that. If he was sure, she would write down his address for her, since she didn't know his exact home address.
Since Quan Zhilong was not cooperating, An Rufeng left H country and went to her parents' place.
As for the address, she waited for Kwon Ji-yong to contact her first and discuss it with her.
Not two days after An Rufeng left, Quan Zhilong took the initiative to contact her.
When Quan Zhilong called, An Rufeng was with Tang Yu, helping her father organize his research materials.
After learning that Anru Feng was about to switch time and space and was also struggling with the limited spots, Tang Yu ended her trip to the Amazon and came to Aswan.
Tang Yu was raised by An's parents, and the two families had a close relationship. An's parents were like Tang Yu's other parents. If An Rufeng chose Quan Zhilong, he would never see them again, so he naturally wouldn't be able to keep an eye on the jaguars in the Amazon.
An Rufeng glanced at her phone, not wanting to answer. He had ignored her so many attempts to contact him, but now that she was gone, he knew to contact her.
The ringing stopped, then started again after a while.
"Why didn't you answer?" Mrs. Ann asked softly. She didn't know the specific reason why her daughter had suddenly come to Aswan, and she wouldn't say.
But it was clear that she was even more depressed than before, and it was speculated that she had some problems with Kwon Ji-yong.
Anru Feng took her phone and went outside.
Tang Yu stroked her chin, glanced at An's father and mother, and then quietly followed them out.
An Rufeng went to a shady corner, and Tang Yu found a place where An Rufeng couldn't see her but could hear her, and hid there.
As An Rufeng walked out the door, Quan Zhilong hung up the phone and called again. An Rufeng answered the phone.
The call connected, but there was no sound from the other end of the phone; it was completely silent.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
After a moment of silence, An Rufeng asked, "Will you hang up the phone halfway through?"
After a while, Kwon Ji-yong's voice came: "No." His throat was a little dry, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Okay, if you hang up on me halfway through, and you don't want to solve the problem, then I'll solve you."
Kwon Ji-yong hesitated for a moment, but finally let out a cold sneer, his tone a mix of self-mockery and sarcasm: "So what if I don't hang up? The result will be the same anyway!"
"Can't you speak properly?" An Rufeng frowned. "Your tone makes me not want to talk to you, and it makes me feel like you don't want to talk to me either. If you don't want to talk to me, I'm hanging up."
There was no response from Kwon Ji-yong's side. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry."
Anru Feng organized her thoughts: "If I don't give you the spot, are you really going to do that?"
"Yes." Kwon Ji-yong replied without hesitation.
Are you sure you've thought this through?
"I'm sure I've thought this through very clearly, absolutely clearly! I truly want to spend my life with you. What are you worried about? What makes you hesitate about our future?" Kwon Ji-yong's tone became somewhat cautious at the end, "Where have I done something wrong? Can you tell me, and I'll change, okay?"
Kwon Ji-yong is someone who fears commitment and doesn't easily make promises. On one hand, it's because he doesn't know if he can keep them, and on a large part, he dislikes being bound by rules and prefers freedom and novelty.
But now he desperately longs to be bound together with Anru Feng.
"Okay, write down your home address for me in Korean, the place you've lived since you were born. Don't write it wrong, or I won't be able to find you."
"What?" Kwon Ji-yong didn't react for a moment.
Anru Feng repeated it again.
"Really?" Kwon Ji-yong asked in disbelief, unable to resist confirming, "You really want to give me the spot?"
Hearing Quan Zhilong's cautious and uncertain tone, An Rufeng suddenly felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry. She held back her tears, coughed lightly, and made sure her voice sounded normal: "Yes."
Having confirmed the facts, Quan Zhilong immediately wrote down the address and sent it to An Rufeng, fearing that she might change her mind.
Knowing that Kwon Ji-yong was uneasy, An Joo-bong, having made her decision, didn't delay. She took a picture of the white card with her address written on it and sent it to him to put his mind at ease.
I'll take it with me when I leave, and I'll come find you then.
When Kwon Ji-yong saw the message from An Yeo-feng, a look of relief appeared on his face.
He sent a message to Anru Feng:
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you before. I won't do it again. When are you coming to H country?
In her final moments, Anru Feng wanted to spend as much time as possible with her parents:
I've only been in Egypt for a short time and don't want to fly anymore. My parents also have things for me to do, so I'm not going to H country for now.
Kwon Ji-yong was somewhat disappointed when he saw the message, but since he had made up with her after he had upset her, he only told her to take care of her and didn't dare to say anything else.
After the chat ended, Kwon Ji-yong suddenly felt that it was better for An Ru-feng not to come to H country for the time being. He wanted to propose, and this period of time could be used to prepare for the proposal.
When An Rufeng's parents saw that she had written a string of Korean characters on a card, they knew that she had made her choice.
They felt a pang of sadness and reluctance, but mostly they felt gratified.
After An Rufeng finished chatting with Quan Zhilong, she put down her phone and couldn't help but cry.
When An Rufeng put down her phone, her mother saw tears streaming down her face. She went over, hugged her, and gently patted her back.
Seeing this, Tang Yu walked out, giving the space to the three of them.
After An Rufeng stopped crying, her mother hugged her and said softly, "Your father and I will always be here. It's just that, unfortunately, we always miss each other. You were in Hangzhou looking for plum blossoms in Xixi Creek, while we were in America researching the similarities and differences in raising children; you were painting at home, while we were enjoying tea at a friend's house; you came to our friend's house to visit us, and we just happened to be home."
An's mother hugged An Rufeng tighter: "We've always been here. Can you feel my strength? Just like the me holding you right now, I'm truly here."
An Rufeng hugged her mother and couldn't help but cry again.
