A game lasted for four hours. Kwon Ji-yong and Shen Jiezhu were on the same front throughout the game and focused on dealing with Xiaomi and Li Yuna.

The cards of the two people seemed to be arranged by God. Whatever Shen Jiezhu lacked, Quan Zhilong had. The two of them cooperated seamlessly, as if they had done it together many times before.

But this was clearly their first time playing games together!

Four hours later, Xiaomi and Li Youna were lying on the ground, exhausted, and were too beaten to get up.

After four full hours, I only won a few times. I was tired physically and mentally!

Leaning against Lee Yoona, Xiaomi raised her hand and made a stop gesture: "Ah, I give up, I really give up, let's stop here today! If you keep fighting, I'm going to have a heart attack!"

Sister Shen curled up her body, nestled in the soft sofa and laughed: "Oh my god, is it really that exaggerated?"

"Of course not!" Xiaomi immediately got up and complained about how badly she had been hurt. "In that flying chess game, I finally almost reached the finish line, but you guys ate me. You ate me four times! Four times in total... In the end, you all reached the finish line, but I didn't even leave. Do you really have the nerve to do that?"

Lee Yoona touched her head sympathetically, looking like a caring older sister.

"It's so sad, Xiaomi, we won't play games with them anymore, they are such slackers!"

Xiaomi reacted immediately and turned her head to look over: "I haven't forgotten, Yuna, you ate me twice, we are teammates and you still ate me! Our friendship! The ups and downs we have experienced together! Is the relationship so fragile now? Ah!"

Lee Yoona ran around holding her head, her devilish laughter filling the room: "Hahaha, this is an accident, Sister Mi, it's really an accident, ow ow, it hurts, ow ow ow ..."

After being teased by them, Shen Jiezhu also started to giggle. She was so excited that she accidentally choked. Fortunately, Quan Zhilong was there and patted her on the back, which made her feel better.

Noticing Shen Jiezhu's flushed face, Quan Zhilong raised his hand and handed her a glass of water, then looked at the time: "It's almost time to go to bed. Don't drink too much, otherwise your face will be swollen tomorrow."

"Ah, forget it. I won't drink it. My swollen face will look ugly in front of the camera." Shen Jiezhu put the cup back.

Kwon Ji-yong was stunned and couldn't help laughing. Pigs are so cute, haha.

Looking at Shen Jiezhu with a wrinkled face, he sighed helplessly and bent down to meet her gaze.

"Pig, you must be thirsty after talking so much. It's better to drink now than to get up in the middle of the night to find water, right? Well, just drink a little."

Quan Zhilong's tone was unusually gentle, and even Lee Yoona and Xiaomi, who were fighting and making noises, became quiet, squatting beside him and watching the show in silence. The smile on his face became more and more obvious, and he looked at his son-in-law with an expression that was more and more satisfied.

Shen Jiezhu thought about it and thought it made sense, so she took the cup and drank half of it. When she put down the cup, she touched her stomach with her hand, looking very happy.

But soon, her brows furrowed: "It's strange, why do I feel so empty after playing the game..."

It was so noisy just now, and now it is so quiet. The psychological gap is so huge that she actually feels a little uncomfortable.

Xiaomi and Lee Yoona didn't understand what she meant, but Kwon Ji-yong smiled knowingly, leaned back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and explained: "Because it was so lively just now, it seems too quiet now. With fewer people talking, I can't help feeling lonely."

"Oppa, do you feel the same way?"

Shen Jiezhu originally thought that she was too hypocritical.

But Kwon Ji-yong actually has the same feeling as me, so he thinks the same way, right?

"This feeling is very common for artists." Kwon Ji-yong was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. From Shen Jiezhu's perspective, she always felt that he seemed a little sad.

"After the concert, my teammates and I would sometimes sit on the stage and look at the empty venue. The excitement was real, the silence was real, the fans were real, but the loneliness at times was also real."

"What about you now? Do you still feel the same way?"

Shen Jiezhu came up curiously. Because she had lived in the mountains before, she could tolerate loneliness very well. She went up and down the mountains alone and lived in the lonely mountains, which made her feel comfortable. Now that she had friends and her own circle, she suddenly found it difficult to tolerate loneliness.

"No."

Quan Zhilong narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, and touched Shen Jiezhu's head. His fingers were long and strong, with distinct joints. When they fell on the thick black hair, it seemed especially white. Even the blue veins and blood vessels on the back of his hand could be seen clearly.

He rubbed Shen Jiezhu's hair. The smoothness and softness of her hair made him reluctant to let go. When the top of her head became a chicken nest, Shen Jiezhu finally reacted and pulled his hand down.

"Oppa, my hair! I finally managed to get some curls after washing it! Now they're gone! Ah!"

With her hair messed up, Shen Jiezhu's hair stood on end and she looked ferocious. She used some force to hold Quan Zhilong's wrist.

However, for Quan Zhilong, this little bit of force was almost the same as an itch. He did not move and let her hold his wrist. His originally cold skin became warm under her touch.

When my hands felt warm, all the coolness in my body seemed to fade away like cherry blossoms falling into the ocean.

Quan Zhilong smiled in a teasing way, as if he was deliberately trying to irritate her, but his tone was particularly doting, and he kept coaxing her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll give you a smooth ride, it's okay, the hairstyle is still there, look how curly it is."

Shen Jiezhu lowered her head and looked at the small tuft of curly hair that he had twisted out with his fingers. Her back teeth were clenched tightly and her fists were creaking.

Upon seeing this, Quan Zhilong immediately apologized: "My mistake, my mistake. I was just checking to see if your hair is dry. Your head is still a little wet. You can't sleep like this or you'll have a headache. Xiaomi, bring me the hair dryer."

Xiaomi took action immediately, took the hair dryer and handed it to him.

Kwon Ji-yong took over and blew her hair very naturally with great skill. It was unclear whether he had practiced this technique specially.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and didn't move, but Quan Zhilong stood up from the sofa very quickly and opened the door.

"Hello, guest. The items you need have been delivered—"

A series of dry mechanical sounds were heard; it was a robot coming up to deliver something.

Li Youna was a little confused. She didn’t remember what they ordered.

When Quan Zhilong turned around and walked in, several people saw clearly that what he was holding in his hand was actually a rose?

Needless to say, it must have been ordered by Quan Zhilong.

Lee Yoona let out a subconscious "wow" and sounded very excited. She had never been in a formal relationship, but she had tried a few. In her heart, love was most interesting when she watched others talk about it.

Quan Zhilong found a place to put the flowers down, carefully adjusted the direction, and then stopped with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's good to put it here."

He then put away the hair dryer and placed it on the table: "Okay, Zhuzhu, clean up and go to bed. I'll take you there tomorrow. Xiaomi, Yuna, you should go to bed too. If you have anything, call me. I'm not muting my phone today."

In the past, he would turn off his cell phone when he went to bed unless he had any schedule or appointments.

But recently, he seemed to have lost this habit. Sometimes, no matter how late it was, he could still hear the notification sound of Shen Jiezhu sending him messages.

Compared to Lee Yoo Na, Kwon Ji Yong seems to be Shen Jiezhu's assistant. Before leaving, he arranged this and that, and even tried whether to leave a light on when sleeping at night and what light to leave on.

Only when he really left could Lee Yoo Na finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh... Brother Long is so serious. In comparison, I don't seem to have fulfilled my responsibilities as an assistant..."

Xiaomi finally realized the crux of the problem: "Piggy, Brother Long is serious, can you see that?"

Shen Jiezhu took a rose, and the thorns that would prick her hand had been shaved off. When she held it, she felt a smooth surface: "I know."

"What do you think?"

"Isn't my attitude obvious?" Shen Jiezhu looked up in surprise: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't let you take the hair dryer."

Because it was Kwon Ji-yong, she didn't stop him.

Blowing hair is a very intimate act in itself, and no one can touch her hair unless she wants to.

The reason why Quan Zhilong was able to do so was because she had a good impression of him, had a heart-pounding feeling, and wanted to continue developing the relationship with him.

After Shen Jiezhu said this, Xiaomi was finally relieved. Before, when she faced the sweet stories dug out by those CP fans, she always felt that they were jumping between reality and romance variety shows. Now she can finally be 100% sure that Zhu Zhu and Long Ge are real in real life!

As an agent, she needs to get a clear response from her artists. Compared to others who wavered and pretended not to understand, Shen Jiezhu's answer was simply a standard template for responding to a relationship.

"Okay, I have an idea of ​​what's going on."

After saying this, Xiaomi went to the studio office group to explain the situation to others. In the past, they would intentionally or unintentionally suppress the comments of CP fans, but from now on, they can release them and build momentum in advance.

The more noise the CP fans make now, and the more people there are, the smoother the official announcement of Zhu Zhu and Long Ge will be, and the more blessings they will receive.

Shen Jiezhu went to bed early for tomorrow's photo shoot, but was still chatting animatedly in the office group.

…

【Bao Jie: What you mean is, to stir up the enthusiasm of CP fans, right?】

【Xiaodao: I think there is nothing wrong with this approach, but there is a situation now that CP fans are quite serious about ky everywhere, and they will also mention CP in some videos that have nothing to do with the other party. Therefore, the relationship between CP fans and the fans of both sides is not very good. If we really let them talk, the relationship with the fans of the only party may become more and more tense. 】

【VV: If you continue like this, your popularity will also decrease. 】

【Xiaomi: Is there any news from YG?】

[Bao Jie: How can YG control GD? It's like he's dead. There has been no operation from the beginning to the end. Their stock market has been growing well recently. They have reaped the benefits of CP. They will definitely be even more silent. ]

[VV: The current situation is that Zhuzhu is tied to YG invisibly. As long as we don’t unilaterally untie them, they will definitely not make any moves.]

[Yuna: Have they never considered ending the romance variety show? They tied up Zhuzhu so tightly. What if Zhuzhu and Long Ge broke up later? The stock market would definitely fall sharply then, right?]

【Sister Bao: So I have a reasonable suspicion that they already know the true situation between Zhu Zhu and Long Ge. Because they are sure that Long Ge and Zhu Zhu have developed feelings for each other and it will not end easily, so they are so confident.】

[VV: If this is true, isn't YG too shameless? ]

【Xiaodao: Then we are under a lot of pressure. Brother Long has been in the industry for a long time, so fans are more accepting of him being in a relationship. But Zhu Zhu has only been in the industry for a short time, so fans may not be able to accept it.】

【Yuna: This should be okay. Zhuzhu’s fan base is quite complex. Most people are attracted by her ability. I think few people would dare to use Zhuzhu as a YY object, right? It is possible to use her as a spiritual pillar, but a spiritual pillar...will not fall because of love.】

【Bao Jie: Judging from the current situation, it is better to be more cautious. Come on, stop suppressing CP fans and let the fans of only one couple and CP fans develop freely. We can change it at any time if there is any situation in the future. In addition, we should control the phenomenon of CP fans being ky everywhere and issue a statement to express our attitude. Is that okay?】

【Xiaomi: It’s suitable. I think it’s fine.】

【Xiaodao: I have no problem with that either.】

【VV: OK! 】

After a brief communication, everyone decided on a small change in the public relations strategy. Shen Jiezhu gave them a lot of power and they could make the decision on their own without notifying her.

Have a good night.

When Shen Jiezhu woke up in the morning, Xiaomi and Li Youna were still sleeping. They had discussed for a long time last night, so they didn't even hear the sound of Shen Jiezhu washing up and going out.

But with Quan Zhilong going with her, they could indeed get some good sleep.

At six in the morning US time, Shen Jiezhu and Quan Zhilong met, and they went to have some breakfast first. Shen Jiezhu's Chinese stomach was not used to American breakfast, but for the sake of filming, she still ate a few bites.

As soon as I put down the tableware, Kwon Ji-yong's motion sickness pills were handed over.

"Ah... It's such a short journey, so I don't think I need to eat, right?"

Shen Jiezhu frowned and grabbed Quan Zhilong's sleeve, looking reluctant. She was very resistant to the motion sickness medicine because the medicine she often took had a new version recently, and Quan Zhilong took this version. It was particularly bitter and hard to swallow.

Shen Jiezhu had tasted it once, and just that one time, she felt that all the suffering of half her life was caused by that one bite.

"I heard that you have to go to various places for filming today. The time you spend in the car may be longer than the filming time. You will feel uncomfortable if you don't eat."

The scene of Shen Jiezhu getting carsick and turning pale is still vivid in Quan Zhilong's mind. He doesn't want to see her like that again.

"But it's really bitter, Oppa, you'll know once you smell it, it's true!"

Quan Zhilong smelled it and found that it really didn't taste good.

He hesitated for a while, and finally took out the motion sickness stickers from his bag: "I bought them together with the medicine, but they are not as effective as the motion sickness medicine. Zhuzhu, you..."

"I can!"

Shen Jiezhu immediately took the motion sickness sticker from him. This time, she applied it proactively without him having to do anything. Then she got into the car and sat up straight.

This is like refusing motion sickness medicine with her life. Kwon Ji-yong looked at her actions and finally couldn't bear to force her to take the medicine.

He had read on the Internet that if someone in the car is suffering from motion sickness, the driver just needs to drive at a steady speed and not speed up or slow down frequently, and the motion sickness will be alleviated.

Just like that, Kwon Ji-ryong transformed himself into a master of steady speed, and it took him 40 minutes to complete a 20-minute journey, and he finally arrived at the filming location, a small woods somewhere in New York, on time.

When she saw the small woods, Shen Jiezhu thought she had taken the wrong path. The scene didn't look like a metaphysical documentary at all. Instead, it looked a bit like the filming of "Animal World."

After they entered the forest, they found a villa inside the woods. It looked eerie, and the surrounding trees were very tall, blocking out most of the sunlight.

They were still some distance away from the house and couldn't see its structure and environment clearly.

It must be his reason that the director team chose this place as the filming location. Shen Jiezhu was eager to know what was going on in this place, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Watch your step, there are some freshly felled tree stumps here, don't trip, give me your hand."

As soon as Quan Zhilong stopped reminding, Shen Jiezhu was tripped by a dry tree branch on the ground, and fell to the ground, almost eating a mouthful of dirt.

"Zhuzhu!"

Quan Zhilong immediately helped her up, looked at her body covered in dirt, and nervously looked around for a long time. When he found that she was not injured, he felt relieved and helped her pat the dirt off her body.

"You really have to be careful in this place, haha. Fortunately, I'm strong. Hey, Oppa, don't keep frowning. I'm fine, aren't I?"

Shen Jiezhu smiled and teased Quan Zhilong, trying to make him happier.

"Oppa Oppa~ You look scarier than this spooky little house, you know that? If you go through with this expression, even the director will be scared by you!"

"Smile, be cheerful, it's ok, there's no dirt on your body anymore, I'll change into new clothes soon anyway, it's okay!"

…

With Shen Jiezhu's unremitting efforts, Quan Zhilong finally smiled reluctantly. Seeing that he finally stopped frowning, Shen Jiezhu patted his shoulder excitedly and said affectionately: "That's right, let's go, we'll go together, and you should be careful too, or you will trip again when I just get up!"

Bang!

Quan Zhilong sat on the ground.

They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Shen Jiezhu even wondered if her mouth was blessed, how could it be so accurate? As soon as she finished speaking, Quan Zhilong fell down.

"Hahaha! Great, is this the special ability of the metaphysician kkk!"

"Haha! Looks like I can't talk anymore, Oppa. From now on, I will remain silent!"

This time it was Shen Jiezhu who pulled Quan Zhilong up again. Just when Shen Jiezhu was about to lend a hand to help Quan Zhilong pat the dirt off, a gentle voice came from behind them.

"Shen? Is that you?"

"Victoria!"

Shen Jiezhu turned her head in surprise, and the moment she saw her, she quickly walked towards her, and poor Quan Zhilong was forgotten behind her.

"Victoria, are you here to record as well? It's been a long time since we last met. I really miss you."

Shen Jiezhu is a chatterbox in front of people she knows well. Although Victoria's relationship with her was not very good at the beginning, after spending some time with her, she found that this girl is quite nice.

Most importantly, she seemed to be very interested in traditional Chinese culture, and I always asked her about things about China.

As long as you like China, you are our friend. If you like Chinese culture, you are our good friend!

Now Shen Jiezhu has this inexplicable feeling of being a good friend to Victoria.

"Yes, I was invited and didn't want to come, but my father loves documentaries and he wanted me to be in it, so I came."

"Haha, this reason is really simple. I am similar to you. Of course, I also like documentaries very much~"

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Jiezhu suddenly remembered that she had not introduced Quan Zhilong to her. She quickly pulled her over, stopped in front of Quan Zhilong, and introduced them to each other.

"Victoria, this is Kwon Ji-yong, GD."

"Oppa, this is Victoria, a friend I made in Psychic Wars."

Zhuzhu’s CP?

This is what the two of them thought of instantly.

Victoria has watched the fan-made HE love story of Dragon Ball, and coincidentally, Kwon Ji-yong has heard the fan-made lesbian BE song of Shen Wei.

When the two CPs met, the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Fortunately, with Shen Jiezhu speaking in the middle, the three of them walking together didn't seem too awkward.

The three people walked through the woods and finally arrived at the filming location. When Kwon Ji-yong saw the environment, his brows furrowed. He felt inexplicably familiar. This seemed like... a scene from a horror movie, right?

“The Conjuring was filmed here…”

It was Victoria who reacted first.

"The Conjuring? Is that a movie?"

Victoria nodded: "Yes, in the movie directed by James Wan, there is a ghost hanging on the tree where you are standing now, which is probably the position behind you."

Shen Jiezhu turned around and looked over. When she looked up, she saw a thick branch coming across and stopping right above her head.

"Wow! This tree is so delicate, isn't it? This place looks like it's really suitable for hanging a person. This director is amazing. If I weren't a metaphysician, I would really be scared by such a scene."

"The movie The Conjuring is based on real events."

After hearing this, Shen Jiezhu became serious. She closed her eyes and did not feel any discomfort. She looked around and did not see anything strange.

She confirmed that this place was a filming location, but it was just a filming location and there was no metaphysical event involved.

Noticing that Victoria was looking at her, Shen Jiezhu smiled, her smile as bright as the sun. In this gloomy place, such a smile was very touching.

Her voice was soft, like the gentle warm breeze in the afternoon, dispelling the chill of the morning: "But this is just an ordinary house, isn't it?"

Victoria looked at her and curled her lips slightly: "Yes, this is just an ordinary house. I heard that the filming location of "The Psychic" tomorrow is where the story really happened."

"Really? Looks like I have to catch up on the movie when I get home today, Victoria, thanks for reminding me!"

"You're welcome~"

After the two finished talking, the scene became quiet.

Kwon Ji-yong was recalling the contents of the movie, Shen Jiezhu continued to observe her surroundings, and Victoria lowered her head and fiddled with her props.

Soon, the assistant director's shout broke the silence.

"Zhuzhu, Victoria, you are here? GD! Long time no see, I didn't expect you to come here! Aren't you always not interested in metaphysics?"

The assistant director obviously knew Quan Zhilong and was quite familiar with him.

Victoria didn't react, but Shen Jiezhu was surprised.

Oppa actually knows the assistant director?

Oppa’s network of contacts is too large!
