Chapter 60 What to do if you get photographed? 2/23.18.0...
Staying in H country, the center of public opinion, is pointless. Anru Feng took Quan Zhilong away from H country to relax.
Anru Feng believes that the best way to relax is to get away from modern society and go into nature.
Before that, Anjou Feng and Kwon Ji-yong went to Aswan, Egypt and stayed there for a period of time.
In Egypt, they stayed at the Old Falls Hotel, which overlooks the Nile River.
Kwon Ji-yong stopped locking himself in his room and kept his promise to treat himself well, following An Ru-feng's routine, going to bed early and waking up early, eating three meals a day, and living a regular life.
They might go out for a stroll along the Nile, take a sailboat to enjoy the scenery, stay in a hotel where one person writes songs and the other paints, or one person teaches another to rap and they sing together, living a leisurely life.
In this place where no one knew him, Kwon Ji-yong experienced the world with his body, seeing the azure Nile River, the orange-gold sunset, the lush green trees on the Nile banks, listening to the "buzzing" sound of the ferry, and the calls of water birds skimming the water's surface...
Philae Temple, bathed in the dazzling orange-yellow sunlight of the setting sun.
The earth, statues, reliefs, and murals were all dyed golden, as if inlaid with a layer of gold leaf, making the already historically weighty buildings even more sacred, ancient, and mysterious.
Outside the Philae Temple, on a wall sheltered from the sun, Anru Feng and Quan Zhilong sat to avoid the scorching sun.
Temple Philae is about half an hour away from the Old Falls Hotel. It's currently the hot season, and Anjou and Kwon Ji-yong usually go out in the morning or evening these days.
In the evening, the two arrived at the Philae Temple. After visiting it, they found a corner and sat there lazily, not wanting to move.
Kwon Ji-yong rested his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on the temple on the other side. Although it was somewhat dilapidated, it still appeared magnificent and elegant.
"What are you thinking about?" An Rufeng asked when she saw him lost in thought.
"I think this temple still has a unique charm, even after a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, An Rufeng couldn't help but smile: "The music you make will be called a classic of the era when it is listened to again a long time later."
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes sparkled as he unconsciously stroked An Yeo-feng's hand. After a while, he pulled her hand to his lips.
Seeing this, An Rufeng quickly withdrew her hand, dodging Quan Zhilong's impending kiss.
She stepped back, saying, "No! My hands are too dirty from playing outside for so long."
She's the kind of person who likes to touch and rub things around, and even though she wiped them with wet wipes, they were still quite dirty.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't mind and grabbed An Joo-feng's hand again, saying, "I don't mind."
An Rufeng dodged his hand that was grabbing her: "I'm disgusted. I would never like lips that have kissed my hand."
"Hey! Anru Feng!"
Kwon Ji-yong leaned forward, cupped An Joo-feng's face in his hands, and kissed her soft lips without hesitation.
An Rufeng's eyes widened instantly, and she raised her hand to push Quan Zhilong's shoulder: "What if we get photographed?"
The temple is no longer open to the public, and most of the visitors have left, but some have stayed to watch the sunset.
Kwon Ji-ryong ignored him and continued kissing.
After a moment, he relaxed slightly and uttered the words: "I'm not famous in Egypt yet!"
And so what if I get photographed? Before this incident, I was thinking of going public with it if I got photographed. The situation can't get any worse now. When I go out to do things in the future, it will be a fresh start. There's nothing wrong with going public with a girlfriend.
After Kwon Ji-yong finished speaking, he kissed her deeply again, a passionate and lingering kiss.
After the kiss, An Rufeng looked around and glanced at the few people in twos and threes not far away. Everyone was doing their own thing and no one noticed them.
Upon seeing this, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "By doing this, you're actually drawing attention to yourself."
An Rufeng glanced at him but ignored him.
Kwon Ji-yong stepped forward, put his arm around An Joo-fung, and leaned on her shoulder affectionately.
The two joked and teased each other for a while before getting up to take the ferry back to the hotel.
As Kwon Ji-yong sat on the ferry, his gaze unconsciously fell on An Joo-bong, who was sitting opposite him.
Anru leaned comfortably against the railing, her eyelids slightly drooping, her expression languid.
A gentle breeze blew, and the setting sun's rays filtered through her hair, outlining her serene face with golden light, making her seem like a sacred goddess in a temple, equally compassionate towards all people.
An Rufeng saw Quan Zhilong looking at her and smiled at him.
Kwon Ji-yong looked at An Yeo-feng's gentle and lively smile, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Ah, this is my god.
After enjoying the various historical sites in Egypt, the two went to East Africa to see the Great Migration.
When Kwon Ji-yong saw millions of wildebeest and zebras galloping across the grasslands, he was deeply moved by the vitality and spectacular scene.
With crocodiles in the river ahead and lions and leopards close behind, wildebeest and zebras bravely forge ahead in search of food and water. Kwon Ji-yong truly experienced the tenacity, resilience and greatness of life.
Faced with such a grand journey of life, Kwon Ji-yong felt insignificant, but was also inspired by their courage, and suddenly had more courage to face the difficulties he encountered.
After that, Anjou Feng and Quan Zhilong went on to visit the East African Rift Valley, the Okavango Delta, Mount Kilimanjaro, the Namib Desert, Serengeti National Park, and the Madagascar rainforest...
The vast and magnificent landscape of Africa allowed Anjou Feng and Quan Zhilong to experience the freedom and unrestrained spirit of life, and their bodies and minds, which had been bound by the civilization of modern society, seemed to be liberated.
After traveling around Africa, Anru Feng told Quan Zhilong to go home and be with his family. Although his relatives and friends in H country would occasionally contact him and knew about his situation, they were still worried because they couldn't actually see him.
Kwon Ji-yong has found inner peace and is not opposed to returning to South Korea. He knows what he should do in the future and has the courage to do it.
Before returning to H country, the two went to the United States first, where Kwon Ji-yong wanted to get a tattoo.
After arriving in the United States, the two spent a few days sightseeing before getting tattoos.
The place where Kwon Ji-yong was going to get a tattoo wasn't far from their hotel, so Kwon Ji-yong and An Joo-poong walked there.
In fact, the two of them have mostly gone out on foot these past few days.
"Oh, it's raining."
Halfway there, An Rufeng suddenly felt something icy cold falling on her face.
Looking up, I realized it was raining.
Anru Feng and Quan Zhilong hurriedly ran back, but after only a few steps, the raindrops suddenly grew larger and began to fall heavily, quickly soaking them to the bone.
Seeing this, Anru Feng simply slowed down and started walking, since she was already wet anyway.
Kwon Ji-yong, who was holding her hand, also stopped.
The two walked hand in hand in silence, strolling slowly through the rain.
Suddenly, An Rufeng turned to look at Quan Zhilong and, through the sound of the rain, shouted, "I'll dance for you!"
Kwon Ji-yong paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
Anru stopped, her thumb and middle finger knuckles touching slightly, her arms outstretched like a butterfly about to take flight.
Kwon Ji-yong watched quietly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up, his eyes full of smiles.
An Rufeng moved with light steps, spinning and leaping, the water mist accompanying her dancing body, reminding Quan Zhilong of An Rufeng's ink paintings, which were elegant and lively.
Rainwater slid down her neck, and her soaked clothes outlined her graceful figure.
An Rufeng approached and took Quan Zhilong's hand.
An Rufeng was dancing classical Chinese dance, which Kwon Ji-yong had never experienced before. But he was not only good at production and rap, but also an all-around entertainer, so dancing was naturally no problem for him. After a while, he quickly caught up with An Rufeng's steps.
In the rain, Anru Feng and Quan Zhilong's figures intertwined, everything around them was blocked by the rain, and apart from the pattering rain and the rhythm of their dance steps, the world seemed to become very quiet.
As the dance ended, Kwon Ji-yong and An Yeo-feng touched forehead to forehead, their breaths mingling.
Kwon Ji-yong smiled and looked down at An Joo-feng, his eyes falling on her lips, and he leaned in to kiss her.
"Let's go quickly, or we'll be photographed!" Before he could even kiss him, An Rufeng saw that his face was no longer covered by a mask and had already pulled him away.
Seeing this, Kwon Ji-yong could only smile helplessly and run after her.
By the window of a building not far away, a man holding a video camera filmed the two running away hand in hand until their figures gradually disappeared, then he smiled and put away the camera.
He glanced at the camera feed and whistled, "Oh! Love!"
Unaware that their dancing had been captured on camera by a photography enthusiast, the two returned to their hotel, changed clothes, tidied themselves up, and then set off again to get tattoos.
The person who tattooed Kwon Ji-yong was a graffiti artist named Keith.
Kwon Ji-yong wanted to get a tattoo of An Joo-feng's name.
"A Chinese character tattoo? How strange!" An Rufeng felt that apart from Yue Fei's "Loyalty to the Country," having Chinese characters tattooed on one's body felt odd.
She doesn't have a formal English name; when introducing herself to others, regardless of their nationality, she always pronounces her name in Chinese.
Perhaps because she was a foreigner and unfamiliar with Chinese characters, Keith didn't find it strange at all; on the contrary, he thought it was quite good. When Anru Feng wrote her name, he felt it was like drawing a picture.
Kwon Ji-yong wanted a design that consisted of names in the Anjou style and had a hip-hop feel.
Keith designed several versions, but Anjou Feng always felt they were too strange, so in the end he had to abandon Anjou Feng's name and design a different tattoo pattern.
The three of them discussed the tattoo design together.
Finally, Kwon Ji-ryong got a tattoo of a running heart.
After much discussion, it was finally discovered that the oldest and most classic heart shape best represents a lover. The reason why a heart can run is because it can feel the wind.
This running heart also incorporates Kwon Ji-yong's recent life experiences.
The heart not only represents a lover, but also the love of a lover, and Kwon Ji-yong's own love for life.
It symbolizes the days to come, filled with the love of a loved one and a passion for life, running freely and bravely, and living life with hope.
After getting Quan Zhilong's tattoo done, Keith asked An Rufeng if she wanted a tattoo too, so they could get matching couple tattoos.
Keith is a graffiti master; he doesn't just tattoo people randomly.
Anru Feng wanted to get a tattoo, but she didn't dare.
Kwon Ji-yong chuckled upon hearing this and said, "She's even afraid of the pain of bleaching her hair."
He noticed that she had been frowning the entire time she was getting her tattoo done.
Although Kwon Ji-yong also wanted to get matching couple tattoos with An Joo, her feelings were more important.
Keith smiled after hearing Kwon Ji-yong's words and didn't bring it up again. He had just asked casually on a whim.
As he spent more time with the couple, he could sense that their relationship didn't need any external symbols to emphasize it.
Kwon Ji-yong got a running heart tattooed on his right arm, and later got a crown tattooed on his left arm to represent his fans.
He knows he still has many fans supporting him. VIPs are also very important to him, and he will work hard with their support and love.
He also tattooed a smiley face on the web of his left hand, a spot that's visible when he raises his hand. He hopes that no matter what he encounters in the future, he can face life with a smile.
After getting the tattoo, Kwon Ji-yong went home and lived with his family. Although his family saw that he was in good spirits, they couldn't help but be cautious in his actions after what he had gone through.
Once again, when he got up early and sat on the balcony to watch the clouds, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but get up and pull her to sit with him when his mother secretly looked at him.
He smiled and said to Quan's mother, "Mom, I've been doing very well lately. I will continue to do well in the future."
Kwon Ji-yong's tone was calm yet powerful. When his mother saw the corners of his mouth turn up, revealing a slight smile, warm and gentle, she couldn't help but smile as well, and her worried heart finally settled down.
