Chapter 13 I need to find a way to spend more time together. 8/26 23.5…
After dinner, Da Cheng asked An Ru Feng if she wanted to ride back together.
Anru Feng usually walks from home to the sushi restaurant because it's not far. She likes to take a walk in the evenings.
She usually walks back home, but remembering the message from Yamada Yusuke that he had something to do on his way back today, she agreed.
Seeing that An Rufeng agreed, Da Cheng went to where the car was parked, secretly gave Quan Zhilong a look, and then jumped into the car first, his movements swift and efficient.
Kwon Ji-yong was speechless at Dae-sung's actions. He silently watched as An Joo-bong's bodyguard walked to the car, opened the door for her, and shielded her with his hand as she got in before going straight to the driver's seat.
He naturally understood Big City's intentions; it was simply to create an opportunity for him to demonstrate his gentlemanly manners.
Da Cheng doesn't even consider whether, given An Rufeng's personality and how familiar he is with her now, it's appropriate for him to do these things.
It's perfectly reasonable for him to be there during meals, with both of them taking care of him.
This is so out of place now; I don't know how Da Cheng found a girlfriend.
After Kwon Ji-yong got into the car and sat down, he adjusted the stereo, and music started playing.
Listening to Da Cheng's voice coming from the speakers, An Rufeng couldn't help but think, "Captain Da Cheng really takes good care of people."
An Rufeng rested her chin on her hand, staring at the rearview mirror ahead.
As Kwon Ji-yong adjusted his seat to prepare to drive, he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.
Unexpectedly, their eyes met in Anru Feng's mirror.
Both sides were taken aback.
An Rufeng remained still, her eyes blinking slowly, her eyelashes fluttering gently like the wings of a butterfly. She did not look away, but stared into his eyes.
Kwon Ji-yong did not look away.
Their eyes met in the rearview mirror, silently gazing at each other across the front and rear seats.
An Rufeng's eyes held a hint of curiosity, inquiry, and doubt, and she unconsciously tapped her cheek twice with her index finger.
Listening to Daesung's single played by Kwon Ji-yong, she recalled how he had taken care of her during meals these past few days.
An Rufeng couldn't help but wonder, just because of a cooperative relationship and out of politeness, could a person really take such meticulous care of someone they don't even like?
Anyway, she couldn't do that.
Does that mean he no longer likes her?
He didn't know how much time had passed—maybe a long time, maybe a second—but Kwon Ji-yong raised an eyebrow slightly, silently asking what was wrong.
An Rufeng didn't say anything, just smiled, and then slowly turned to talk to Dacheng.
Kwon Ji-yong started the car, and it slowly began to move.
Kwon Ji-yong held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the car window. Recalling her attitude just now, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He's going to have a solo concert next, followed by a group concert, so he'll be busy and won't be in Japan for a while. He needs to find a way to see and interact with her more often.
Listening to the music coming from the speakers, it seems he needs to actively push forward with the big city sponsorship deal.
Yes, her bank card is still with him.
·
After returning home, An Rufeng received the file sent to her by Yamada Yusuke on her computer.
The file contains information about one person.
Anru Feng came to Japan not only because her parents were currently living there and she felt safe staying there, but also because she was looking for this person.
An Rufeng doesn't know this person yet, but she's sure he must be someone quite important to her.
Because this is the person she left behind in her previous timeline, someone she was supposed to find.
For some unknown reason, one day in 2019, Anru Feng suddenly gained the ability to travel through parallel universes, and would occasionally travel to parallel universes in different time periods before 2019.
Of course, the parallel universes she experienced in different timelines are independent, like a game instance, and will not affect the main world's direction. Her original world is considered the main world.
If An Rufeng moves to a parallel universe, she won't remember people who weren't her friends or enemies in the main world, but people she met in the parallel universe.
Perhaps the great god of time travel was considerate of her feelings and erased her memories of the people she had just met.
Because in Anrufeng's original world, they were either friends or enemies, which is why they exist in parallel universes. Other people do not exist in every parallel universe.
If Anru Feng has memories, and if she was extremely close to someone in a parallel universe, but that person doesn't exist in any of the subsequent parallel universes, nor in the main world.
She would never meet this person a second time in her world. That would be too hurtful and would break her.
Of course, if Anru Feng becomes friends or enemies with the same person in all three worlds, then it's fate, or even a tragic one.
They will enter each other's timelines, and Anru and the other will remember all their memories of each other.
However, there is a way to remember a specific person. Anru Feng has two chances to leave information about a certain person for herself and to find the person she wants to meet in the next parallel world.
Leaving the same person's information, no matter how many times, counts as one chance, so An Rufeng can actively bring two people into her timeline.
The information that can be left is limited; usually only address and name are allowed. Fortunately, if this person exists in a parallel world, the address and name will be the same in all parallel worlds.
Anru Feng has now used one of her only two chances to find someone, so the person she asked Yamada to investigate must be very important to her.
However, An Rufeng had no clue what kind of important person this was.
Because in Anjou's world, there are all kinds of relationships: family relationships, friendship relationships, competitive relationships, cooperative relationships, and so on. All of these relationships are important, and every relationship has important people in it.
So she couldn't guess what was going on. They asked her to leave her contact information to find someone.
As for whether she found her boyfriend in a parallel universe, An Rufeng never even considered it.
She's not sex-obsessed; she only sees relationships between men and women and immediately thinks of them when she sees someone.
Moreover, in her life, love is a secondary priority, and even if she thinks about it, she feels that the probability of it being a boyfriend is relatively small.
An Rufeng glanced at the other person's information, saved it to her phone, and noted down his home address, planning to contact him the next day.
The next day, Anru Feng arrived near his home.
Not wanting to knock on the door rashly, she wandered around the neighborhood.
Across from his apartment complex was a park, where Anru Feng sat on a bench, basking in the autumn sun.
A homeless woman carrying a burlap sack and a cat walked over and stopped in front of a trash can not far from the seat.
The aunt was rummaging through the trash, and the cat walking beside her stayed quietly at her feet for a while before walking towards Anru Feng.
Its two bright, jewel-like eyes looked at Anru Feng with a curious gleam.
With a light leap, it landed on the bench, its tail swaying gently, elegant and agile.
"Nala." The aunt called out to the cat as she watched its movements, seemingly afraid that the cat would disturb An Rufeng.
"Auntie, is this your cat? It's so cute!" An Rufeng said with a smile.
Seeing that Anru Feng didn't mind, the aunt didn't stop the cat's actions and said with a smile, "Yes, it has been with me for two years now. It's very cute and well-behaved."
"May I touch it?" Anru asked for her opinion.
"Of course, it's very well-behaved and not afraid of people." The aunt was happy that others liked her cat.
It's clear that the aunt cherishes this cat and takes good care of it.
This is a fluffy little white cat. Although it has been a stray with its owner, its fur is still snow-white and beautiful.
Anru Feng stroked its head and scratched its chin. It meowed, rolled around in the sunlight, exposed its belly, and purred contentedly.
Anru Feng petted the cat while chatting with her aunt.
"Auntie, do you often come around here? Are you familiar with this area?"
“I’ve always been around here,” the auntie laughed heartily, looking cheerful and generous, without any bitterness or inferiority from living by picking up trash. “I’ve been picking up trash here for over 20 years, and I know almost everyone around here.”
Upon hearing this, An Rufeng's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone to show a photo: "Auntie, do you know this person?" An Rufeng told a little lie, "He's a friend of mine from when I was a child. I haven't been able to contact him for a long time. Last time, I happened to see him enter the apartment complex across the street, but I don't know where he lives. I wonder if you know him?"
"Ah, this is him!" The aunt recognized him immediately. "I know him, and he likes Nala a lot too. He often goes for a walk in the afternoon, but I haven't seen him much lately. He must have gone out. You can come back in a while."
Having received some information, An Rufeng chatted with her aunt for a while longer before saying goodbye.
The aunt had a kind face and always had a smile on her face. She spoke frankly and warmly, making her an easy person to like. Anru Feng felt very comfortable chatting with her, and the cat was also very cute.
She wanted to chat with her a little longer, but the aunt had to go to another location after picking up the trash here, and she didn't want to disturb her work, so she said goodbye.
Nara Mi also lived not far away, so Anru Feng went to her place.
This was also Anru Feng's first time visiting Nara Miya's house.
As soon as she entered, a moving poster appeared in front of her. At first glance, it startled her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that someone was carrying the poster, but it was too big and blocked her view.
"Sakura, didn't you say to put them away? Look at you, the living room is still full of the posters you bought." Nara was a little angry because she saw that Sakura hadn't taken Anru Feng's instructions to her sister to heart at all before she left.
"Oh dear, sister," a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl put down the poster and said in a spoiled tone, "There are just too many of them, we don't have time to put them away."
When she saw An Rufeng, she smiled and greeted her shyly, "Hello, Sister An, I'll take it away right away!"
"Take your time, no rush." Anru smiled reassuringly at Yingzi. "Are you a Big Bang fan?"
The posters in the living room are all of Big Bang.
"Yes!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly, "Does An-neechan know Big Bang too?!"
An Rufeng found an empty seat on the sofa and sat down, smiling, "I know Big Bang, and I really like Kang Dacheng."
"Wow! So An-neechan is a Big Bang fan too!" Sakurako exclaimed excitedly, almost putting down the poster to chat with An Rufeng, but Narami glanced at her and she didn't do so. "I like G-Dragon the most!"
When An Rufeng first heard G-Dragon, she didn't realize who it was until a moment later that it was the captain of Da Cheng.
For some inexplicable reason, Anru asked Yingzi, "Oh? G-Dragon, what kind of person is he?"
"Oppa is amazing! He's incredibly talented, has outstanding skills, is stylish and cool, charismatic on stage, and adorable off stage... Despite his great achievements, he remains very polite and humble." Sakura had a lot to say about this.
"How do I show politeness?" An Rufeng raised an eyebrow.
"He always bows at a 90-degree angle. He is always humble and polite, whether he is facing a senior or junior colleague," Sakurako said.
"Are you polite to people you don't like?" An Rufeng couldn't help but ask.
Sakurako said, "At least he won't show that he doesn't like it." She thought for a moment, "Oppa has been in the entertainment industry since he was very young, so I feel he should be more careful."
An Rufeng thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. The entertainment industry is indeed a complicated circle.
He's been around for many years, so he's definitely not some naive and easily swayed person.
After all, to thrive and establish oneself in this industry, one cannot afford to reveal one's true emotions too openly.
Therefore, his care for her must have stemmed from a cooperative relationship.
Anru Feng recalled that it was like this.
When they first met, he did initially dislike her, but later, because of Jiang Dacheng, they had to discuss cooperation, and she no longer noticed his negative emotions.
Therefore, based on this, she couldn't tell that he didn't like her during their subsequent interactions.
·
Anru Feng had plenty of time to spare and was very curious and interested in the people she had previously left information with.
So in the days that followed, she would occasionally go to the vicinity of that person's address, hoping to find an opportunity to get to know him and find out what kind of person he was.
However, the person never returned, and Anru Feng always came up empty-handed.
Anru often encountered that cheerful homeless aunt in the neighborhood.
She loves cats. In her original world, she also kept cats. However, in a parallel universe, she couldn't take a cat with her when she traveled through time, so she didn't keep one.
Whenever An Rufeng saw them, she would chat with the aunt and pet the cat. Before long, she hadn't even met the person she was looking for, but she had become familiar with the homeless aunt and her cat.
Now, Anru Feng goes to see people only at times when her aunt is passing by.
The aunt was happy to see her, and the two would chat for a long time each time.
Listening to the aunt recount her life as a homeless person and the things that happened on the streets, Anru Feng gained many new insights.
That day, I once again reluctantly scratched Nala's chin, saying goodbye to her and her aunt.
They were going somewhere else, and An Rufeng was also planning to go home when suddenly Brother Li handed her a ringing cell phone.
That was the spare phone she asked Brother Li to carry for her; she had made it lighter because she thought her bag was too heavy.
An Rufeng stopped and took the phone. The caller ID on the screen read: [Captain].
An Rufeng was a little confused. Why was he calling her? Had he dialed the wrong number?
"Hello." Although puzzled, she answered the phone.
"Hello, Ms. An, I am Kwon Ji-yong."
Perhaps because it was coming from a mobile phone, the voice on the other end was deep and pleasant, sounding both familiar and unfamiliar to An Rufeng.
"Um, Captain, is there anything I can help you with?" An Rufeng asked.
"Our president has agreed to accept your funding for Dacheng, so we no longer need the bank card you gave me for security. The bank card is with me now, and I'll send it to you."
Just as An Rufeng was about to say that it was no trouble for her and that she would send someone over to get it, a voice came from the other side.
"There are still some details about the sponsorship that I need to confirm with you. Can we talk about it while we eat?"
Kwon Ji-yong's voice was clear and magnetic, with a deep tone, like a note falling from a heavy harp string.
The phone vibrated so loudly that An Rufeng's ears felt numb, and she instinctively moved the phone away from her ear.
Since they had serious business to discuss, An Rufeng didn't refuse his offer to personally deliver the card.
She checked the time and figured it was fine to have dinner at this hour, so she agreed.
