I want all of Chapter 110! It has forum-style writing; please don't buy if you mind! ...
After finishing her China tour in March, when Anjou Feng and Kwon Ji-yong stopped switching bodies, she resigned as their manager.
After publicly announcing their relationship in April, the media was everywhere, wanting to interview Kwon Ji-yong or capture their first public appearance together since the announcement.
Kwon Ji-yong was on vacation, so the two of them simply stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, leaving the paparazzi waiting outside the community empty-handed.
After staying at home with Quan Zhilong for a few days, An Rufeng went on a trip with her parents.
Anru Feng and her team originally planned to travel around the country, enjoying the beautiful scenery and sketching, but considering that her fans are currently grieving, it is not advisable for her to make too many public appearances.
Many people in China know Kwon Ji-yong, and Chinese people like to travel around. She might be spotted by someone, and photos of the encounter might be posted online, leading to excessive media interpretation and hype, and inciting fans' emotions. So Anru and her friends went on a trip to Europe.
After Anju Feng left, Kwon Ji-yong also started going out to the company to produce the full version of the album "MADE".
Tiger Brother picked up Kwon Ji-yong in a discreet car, avoiding the paparazzi staking out his apartment complex.
Because of Kwon Ji-yong's public announcement of his relationship, many VIPs downstairs at Waiji Building turned to look when they saw a car approaching.
Kwon Ji-yong, seeing the waiting fans, told Tiger Bro to stop the car.
Kwon Ji-yong opened the door and got out of the car. He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, covering most of his face.
But fans still recognized Kwon Ji-yong at a glance.
"Oppa..."
"Oppa..."
As the fans watched Kwon Ji-yong get out of the car, they had so much to say, but in the end, they could only utter a complicated "Oppa" and then they didn't know what else to say. They just looked at Kwon Ji-yong with mixed feelings.
When Kwon Ji-yong heard the fans chanting "Oppa" in unison, he visibly paused.
He nodded slightly to them, then got out of the car nimbly, took off his hat and threw it into the car, then closed the door behind him.
Kwon Ji-yong took a few steps to face his fans, put his hands together in front of his chest, and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"Oppa..." Upon seeing this, the fans present couldn't help but tear up and cover their mouths, their suppressed and restrained voices trembling with sobs coming from their hands.
The bow lasted for several seconds. After standing up, Kwon Ji-yong's gaze slowly swept over the fans present, trying to make brief eye contact with each of them.
His gaze was complex yet sincere, containing a faint plea for understanding, a deep appreciation and gratitude for past friendships, remorse and guilt for having to hurt them, and an unwavering conviction that he would not regret his choice.
Kwon Ji-yong said nothing.
He clasped his hands together again, bowed his head to the fans, then turned around and walked into the Waiji Company building without hesitation, ignoring the media interviews.
Watching Kwon Ji-yong walk into the company without turning back, one of the fans present couldn't hold back anymore and began to sob softly.
The media present were not able to interview Kwon Ji-yong, nor did they take any photos of Anju Feng and Kwon Ji-yong together after their relationship was made public. Although they were somewhat disappointed, they were not discouraged. Kwon Ji-yong's first public appearance after the relationship was made public was also a hot topic.
They immediately reported the scene they had captured as soon as possible.
Responsibility or helplessness? G-Dragon appears at the company, responding to all controversies with a long bow.
G-Dragon makes his first public appearance after relationship scandal, bowing silently for nearly 10 seconds, bringing tears to fans' eyes.

...
Before the relationship was acknowledged, most fans were criticizing An Rufeng. After the company confirmed the relationship, the number of fans criticizing An Rufeng decreased significantly because they were too shocked and heartbroken.
After things calmed down, there weren't as many people criticizing him as before the public announcement. Since he officially admitted it, most of the fans who remained were fans of Kwon Ji-yong. Even if they were heartbroken and couldn't accept it, no matter what they thought of An Joo-feng in their hearts, they couldn't bear to criticize him for admitting it.
Of course, there are still people who criticize Anru Feng, but they are usually countered by other fans.
Even so, the online buzz surrounding Anru Feng and Kwon Ji-yong's relationship remains unabated. There are those who defend them, those who vent their heartbreak, those who are waiting for a breakup announcement, and those who are unwilling to accept it, believing that the company made a false statement and want Kwon Ji-yong to make a personal statement.
After seeing the scene of him bowing silently in the media reports, fans, apart from haters who mocked him for being hypocritical and acting, felt more complicated and reluctant to let him go, whether they were rationally supportive, remained silent despite not accepting the situation, or were hoping for a breakup.
-I really can't stand it anymore... When Taeyang oppa was first photographed, his company issued a statement and everything was fine, everyone congratulated him. Now, our oppa, the company admits it once, then the public outcry explodes, and he has to respond again. Now he even has to get out of the car and bow in person... Can you please stop pressuring him? Can't you just leave him alone?
-I'm so upset... When others go public with their relationship, it's a happy occasion, but for him, it feels like he's committed a crime. The company statement, the company's second response, his own bow—it's all backed him into a corner. Please stop treating him like this! He's having a harder time than anyone else.
Seeing that bow really broke me... Thinking about how peaceful Taeyang and I were in love, and then seeing him like this, my heart aches terribly. Please, please stop hurting him.
-Aren't the repeated responses and statements enough? Taeyang Oppa's company received blessings with just one statement after his relationship was exposed, but he has to be put on the hot seat repeatedly... Please stop treating our Oppa like this, he has really endured too much.
-Stop making a fuss, let him catch his breath.
-Taeyang oppa's relationship is something his fans and we VIPs can happily bless, so why does this place have to become a battlefield for him? Now he has to personally step in and bow, are you satisfied? Can we just stop here?
What did he do wrong from beginning to end? All he did was be with the person he liked! Why should he pay ten times the price of others? That bow wasn't something he should have done! The one who should reflect is the troublemaker!
- Don't make things difficult for him anymore... Look at how peaceful Taeyang's relationship is now, and then look at the mess in our house and his bowing... It really breaks my heart. If you love him, stop. Don't make him keep apologizing.
That bow...it brought me to tears. He didn't say anything, yet it felt like he said everything. He was sorry, but he didn't regret it. I can't hate him anymore, only feel heartache.
That bow was the knife that severed the last connection between us. He chose her, then bowed to thank us for our past efforts and to apologize. My youth had come to a complete end.
He could have simply walked into the company without doing anything, but he got out of the car and bowed. That was more powerful than a thousand empty apologies. He respected us, and he respected his own choices.
Compared to those flowery statements, this silent bow seemed much more sincere. Deep down, he's still a person who values relationships deeply; I didn't fall for the wrong person.
This is probably the best response he can give under the current circumstances. Speaking will be misinterpreted, and silence will be seen as arrogance. A sincere bow, at least, expresses apology and respect, preserving his last shred of dignity.
He didn't try to justify himself or play the victim; he openly admitted the harm he caused and apologized. I admire him even more for that, and I'll be a fan of his career from now on!
-A passerby commented that they were a bit heartbroken. This scene was like the ending of an idol drama, tragic yet magnificent. Their liking for him increased.
Suddenly, I felt relieved. If you love him, then wish him happiness.
After Kwon Ji-yong's silent bow, regardless of what happened in private, all the negative comments from fans about the relationship subsided on the public internet.
Kwon Ji-yong and his group began holding fan meetings in Japan at the end of April.
After going public with their relationship, this was their first public appearance together. The media and fans all expected to see Anru Feng and him appear in Japan together, since she was not only his girlfriend but also his manager.
The media is eager to capture them together for news reports, while fans have mixed feelings, wanting to see how they will behave after changing their identities, and are waiting to see what happens.
Not only did I not see them together, but I also didn't see An Rufeng alone.
Not only was it missing on the first day, but it was also missing from all subsequent Japanese schedules, leading fans to realize with mixed feelings that Anru Feng might have resigned.
When celebrities are not in a relationship, the media will spread rumors and make reports. When they go public, people will speculate about a breakup.
Since their relationship was made public in April, Anru Feng and Kwon Ji-yong have not been photographed together or interacting at their fan meeting in Japan that month, or at their subsequent tour in China, leading the media to speculate that they had broken up.
Is G-Dragon's relationship suddenly frozen? Since going public with his manager girlfriend, they've been seen together only once, with two months of zero interaction fueling breakup speculation.
"Doomed after being exposed? G-Dragon and his girlfriend disappeared without a trace after officially confirming their relationship; their past sweetness has become a 'swan song'?"

Media outlets that spread rumors and cause trouble will definitely be scolded by fans immediately.
-Are the media out of their minds? Two months without being seen together and they call it a breakup? Why didn't you say they'd had a crush on each other for years before you caught them together? You've really lost all shame for the sake of KPIs!
- Ugh... Before, you were always staking out and criticizing them for being love-obsessed and neglecting their careers. Now that they're discreetly protecting their relationship, you're spreading rumors about a breakup? You've said everything you could want...
-Does being in a relationship mean you have to livestream it to everyone every day? Can't you just live a quiet life in private? Does it have to be trending on social media every day to be considered a loving couple? What's wrong with you!
-Let's hope for something good! Oppa finally met someone he likes and bravely went public with it, and you guys are all cursing him to break up? Are your hearts black? Can't stand seeing others do well?
-Is this 'insider' just a fig leaf to cover up your fabricated stories? Which insider? Is it your toilet or someone from your dreams? Show me some solid evidence before you bark!
Media: No relationship → fabricate rumors. Relationship → beg for scoops. Got it public → hope for a breakup. Is there nothing else to do in your lives besides gossiping about others?
- Break up? I think it's you media outlets and haters who really want them to break up, right? Too bad, they're doing great! We're just going to disappoint you, aren't you angry?
-We fans aren't worried, so why are you eunuchs so anxious? The person in question hasn't said anything, and a bunch of outsiders are writing news based on their own imaginations. The threshold for media access has really dropped to the lowest possible level!
- We need to avoid being in the same frame as you flies, it's perfectly normal not to be in the same frame! How can you make this up?
May all media outlets that spread rumors and misinformation see their KPIs plummet to the bottom, just like their consciences!
...
The fact that the remaining female fans haven't switched to other fandoms doesn't mean they've accepted the relationship. Except for those who can't completely break up, most are just temporarily compromising and waiting to break up.
They don't say it openly, and even defend An Rufeng and others when the media and others spread rumors about their breakup, but they are different in private.
A certain forum.
[Did they really break up? There's been absolutely no word from them. I'm starting to wonder if I was hallucinating two months ago... Although I was also having a hard time accepting it back then, this complete silence seems to be making me feel even worse...?]
- I feel the same way... It's not that they have to show off, but this is too quiet, so quiet it's unsettling...
- Damn it, they were talking so quietly, and I wanted to see exactly how they were talking, okay? Now I know nothing, I'm going crazy!
-I'm going crazy...I'm actually starting to hope for some clues...it's better than just hanging in the air like this.
-Won't the pressure be too much and you break up with him?
That would be perfect... but I'm afraid...
-I don't think they've necessarily broken up, but there's definitely something wrong. She's a non-celebrity, with so much free time, while her boyfriend has such a busy and tiring schedule. Shouldn't she be considerate enough to help him out?
- Agreed. Dating is no different from not dating at all, so what's the point? It has no real effect.
-I'm truly exasperated with you female fans! If she's low-key and doesn't show affection, you say they've broken up or that she's not considerate. If she flaunts their relationship, you accuse her of trying to ride his coattails, being scheming, and not thinking about his image! You've said everything you want, so what do you really want?! You're so hard to please!
-Taeyang Oppa and Xiaolin Unnie didn't appear in the same frame or interact much, so why don't you say they broke up? You just say they're low-key and respect their fans! But when it comes to our own idols, being low-key means 'breaking up' or 'the girlfriend isn't considerate'?
-Taiyang's girlfriend is an actress and doesn't have time. She's an ordinary person who has quit her job and doesn't have time to spend with him either?
- Agreed, I think so too. Look at other people's wives, visiting the set, bringing meals, accompanying them on their schedules—even though they get criticized, at least you can tell they're serious about their relationship. Ours, on the other hand, has disappeared. She has no consideration whatsoever. What did her boyfriend see in her?
-Does dating mean that a non-celebrity should be by a man's side 24/7? What kind of feudal thinking is that? She's an independent person, doesn't she have her own life? Why should she be expected to give up everything and revolve around a man to be considered a 'qualified girlfriend'?
"It's like we didn't talk at all?" How do you know they didn't talk? Are you living under his bed? Why should they report their private interactions to you? Who do you think you are?
Seriously, after reading so many posts like this, I realize that the reason some people were so upset back then wasn't because they loved him, but because they were impotently furious because they had lost their 'ownership' and control over him.
Save your breath! The media isn't enough of spreading rumors, so you're spreading them internally too? Don't you have enough dirt on us already?

Title: [Family! Does anyone know?! Has the 'Anquan CP' entered a 'cold war'? It's been two months! I can't figure it out! I really can't figure it out!]
OP: As the title says! I know I need to keep a low profile, I know I need to protect my relationship, but I'm starving!
Other people's couples are all about sweet everyday moments, but my couple seems to have vanished into thin air. Other people's couples are all about "Have you eaten?", but my couple is all about "Are you still alive?"
Did they team up to block us CP fans? They haven't given us any interaction whatsoever! No photos of them together, no messages exchanged, not even a hint of coincidence!
I'm about to give up! I need some emotional support!
- Sisters, hang in there! This quietness is the truest thing! Think about it, given their identities, the calmer things are, the more it shows how passionately they love each other in private! This in itself is a huge, silent sweetness!
- Showing off your love too much will lead to a quick breakup. This deathly silence only proves it's real! True gold fears no fire, and a true couple isn't afraid of not being seen together! The more they act like this, the more I believe it's real!
What we're shipping is essentially a 'possibility' and a 'feeling'. Now they've turned that possibility into an underground reality, and the atmosphere on stage into a private romance offstage. Isn't that the ultimate level of shipping? We may not see it, but we know it's happening.
Come on! Let's produce our own content! Write stories! Draw illustrations! Make videos! We can't starve if we lack content! If the main source doesn't provide any sweet moments, we'll create our own parallel world! We'll wait for the day the king returns and gives us our sweet moments!
Don't panic! Although there's no activity on public platforms, their private Instagram accounts are showing a steady increase in posts, even though the content isn't visible! The posting frequency is also interesting! When Oppa posts, his wife usually posts on the same day, and vice versa! This definitely means they're contacting each other during work breaks and can't resist sharing something! What else could this be but sweetness?!
-It's June now, and isn't it almost Mrs. Long's birthday? Maybe we'll see some interaction! Even if we don't, they'll definitely post something on that day! We don't know the specifics, but we can imagine! And we know they're together!
-You're really good at swooning...I'm sticking with you.
-Waiting...
- Ugh, it's all public now. I don't mean it has to be done openly and honestly, but couldn't you at least show it off a little more subtly?
- +1
I really want to know what they posted... I'm so anxious...
- +1

Actually, An Rufeng and Quan Zhilong have been photographed together before. In May, when Quan Zhilong and his friends held a fan meeting in Japan, An Rufeng flew to Japan to visit Quan Zhilong. The two were photographed by Japanese fans and media when they went out together.
Japanese fans didn't reveal it, and Japanese media were also not informed and didn't report it either.
On June 12th, Kwon Ji-yong and his group finished their concert in China. The next show would be in about 10 days, and Kwon Ji-yong planned to go see An Ru-feng.
"What are your plans for the next few days and the days to come?" Kwon Ji-yong leaned back on the sofa, sat on the carpet, and smiled as he looked at An Ru-feng on the other end of the video call.
The night before his departure, Kwon Ji-yong video-chatted with An Ru-feng. Kwon Ji-yong wasn't just going to celebrate An Ru-feng's birthday; he also planned to propose.
Anru Feng and her group prefer in-depth travel, usually staying in the local area for a period of time, and sometimes planning to visit places recommended by locals in the surrounding area.
If you don't ask beforehand, she might have other plans.
"Itinerary?" An Rufeng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "I should be asking you, the big star, that question."
Kwon Ji-yong lowered his head and chuckled: "So, the big star wants to take a break now, and my only scheduled activity from now on is you. Can I book your schedule?"
"Let me take a look at the itinerary." Anru Feng paused, seemingly genuinely reviewing the schedule. "How many days do you need?"
"I'll take them all!"
“My ‘schedule’ fee is very expensive.”
Kwon Ji-yong leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on An Ru-feng, his voice low and chuckled: "Then I'll pack up all my copyright revenue, tour income, endorsement fees, and even myself as collateral and give it to you. Is that enough to pay your 'scheduling' fees?"
An Rufeng closed the non-existent "itinerary," her eyes sparkling with amusement. She looked him up and down through the screen before slowly saying, "Hmm... seeing how sincere you are, and that it's 'genuine,' I approve! Congratulations, your reservation is successful."
Kwon Ji-yong smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.
The two chatted for a while longer. Kwon Ji-yong had to catch an early flight the next day, so he went to wash up.
Kwon Ji-yong dried his hair, came out of the bathroom, lay on the bed, and habitually scrolled through Instagram before going to sleep.
Anru Feng is someone who enjoys sharing the beautiful scenery of her life and travels.
Because not all her relatives and friends are around, she wants them to know what she is doing even if they don't see her or chat with her often. She wants them to feel her presence.
She also enjoys sharing her life with family and friends, and she wants to feel their presence.
For the past two months, Anru Feng has been in Europe, and their schedules are reversed—one is in the daytime and the other is in the night. Kwon Ji-yong's schedule is also busy, so they don't have time to chat every day.
At this time, checking each other's updates to know what the other is doing makes us feel at ease.
Anru Feng has been living in Florence recently, and her Instagram posts are full of beautiful scenery and snippets of her life in Florence.
The dome of the Florence Cathedral, seemingly ablaze in the setting sun; the openwork silhouette of Giotto's Campanile; the Arno River flowing like a golden ribbon; silent travelers admiring the sunset on the stone steps of Piazzale Michelangelo; flocks of pigeons startled by the chimes; street performers playing the Chaconne melody on their violins…
Anjou went on vacation to the beach near Florence today.
It was nighttime in Seoul, but afternoon in Italy, and she had just shared a photo of herself at the beach.
She sat on a rock by the sea, lazily resting her chin on her hand and lightly touching her cheek with her fingers. She turned her head and casually looked back at the camera. Behind her was the azure sea and the vast sky. Her white sundress was gently lifted by the sea breeze, like a half-bloomed cloud.
Kwon Ji-yong recently read some Chinese poetry, and when he saw this photo, Xu Zhimo's poem "By Chance" immediately came to mind.
I am a cloud in the sky.
You don't need to be surprised.
They vanished in an instant.
We met on the sea in the dark of night.
You have yours, I have mine, and we have ours;
It's good that you remember.
It's best if you forget about it.
The light they shared at that meeting!
This poem describes Ru Feng. Quan Zhilong looked at the photos on his phone. She was such a free and easy person. It was good to remember the beautiful encounters in life, but it didn't matter if she forgot them.
Kwon Ji-yong commented on this picture with a Chinese sentence, which was adapted from a line in Xu Zhimo's poem "By Chance", and his tone was both complaining and coquettish:
You are a cloud on the horizon, only occasionally casting your shadow on the surface of my heart.
Anru Feng was looking at her phone at the time, and she seemed to be able to see through his thoughts behind his words, so she replied in Chinese:
The clearest, brightest shadow is only in the heart of your ripples; your heart of the ripples is the VIP audience seat~ Cherish this projection of my cloud!
Kwon Ji-yong's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a hint of his white teeth:
Drift freely~ My heart is vast, capable of holding the different forms of clouds across ten thousand miles.
