After connecting the call, Zheng Xiujing's joyful voice came through, "OPPA, have you arrived?"
"Yep, I got here last night," Gao Yang said with a smile. He turned over and lay on the sofa, continuing, "What are you doing? Do you miss me?"
"I'm shooting an ad. This time it's a big one, Korea Telecom asked me to be their spokesperson. Of course I miss you, what about you, OPPA? Do you miss me?" Zheng Xiujing's mood was good, and her words were filled with joy. Gao Yang's lips curled up. The meaning of SK Group was very clear. He said softly, "I miss you too, that's why I came to see you. What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Oh, right, my agent told me this morning that after celebrating with the fans tomorrow, I'll have a break. The break starts in the afternoon and lasts until the evening of the day after tomorrow," Zheng Xiujing's cheerful and bright words showed that she was very happy.
Feeling Zheng Xiujing's joy, Gao Yang's mood also improved. "Work hard, I'll pick you up for a date in the afternoon," Gao Yang said softly.
"OPPA, I'm looking forward to it," Zheng Xiujing said with a grin.
After hanging up, Gao Yang sat up on the sofa and rubbed his stomach; he was a bit hungry. The food on the plane wasn't great, and there wasn't much of it, so he felt hungry now. After such a long flight, he was feeling lazy and didn't want to go out.
Reluctantly, he got up and went to the kitchen to search for something. Clearly, with no one living there for so long, there was nothing in the kitchen. Although there was a cleaning service, no one was assigned to buy groceries. After a brief struggle with his hunger, Gao Yang gave in. He put on his clothes and shoes, grabbed the car keys, and went out to eat.
Gao Yang was not familiar with Seoul, and the only place he knew to eat was the Pinkrose restaurant on the second floor of the Seoul Tower, where he had a date with Zheng Xiujing. With the navigation system, it didn't take long for Gao Yang to drive to the Seoul Tower. After parking, he headed straight for the Pinkrose restaurant. It was a busy time, and when Gao Yang entered, he was told he needed to wait in line! Sitting on the sofa, he felt even hungrier. He frowned slightly, took out his phone, and called Jin Yongnam.
"Boss," Jin Yongnam answered quickly. "There's a Western restaurant called Pinkrose at the Seoul Tower, buy it," Gao Yang said directly. "Yes, boss," Jin Yongnam responded immediately.
After hanging up, Gao Yang looked at the diners in the restaurant, deep in thought. A moment later, he called Jin Yongnam again, "Do you know where Zheng Xiujing is shooting the ad?" "Yes, boss," Jin Yongnam replied immediately. He had been closely monitoring Zheng Xiujing's schedule, knowing very well what was important.
"Okay, send me the location via text message," Gao Yang said casually and hung up. At this moment, a table finally became available, and the waiter invited Gao Yang to sit down.
Gao Yang ordered a French black pepper steak, a vegetable salad, and a mushroom soup. Closing the menu, he said to the waiter, "That's all. Also, pack two servings of caviar sushi for me." The waiter bowed slightly, "Yes, sir. Please wait a moment."
Looking out through the glass, Seoul was already lit up with thousands of lights. The countless lights made the city look like a dreamy and beautiful place, with the continuous flow of vehicles resembling giant dragons in motion.
Gao Yang really enjoyed the atmosphere of modern society, as he had always lived in it since birth! He had never liked staying in the 1925 timeline for long periods, as everything there was different from his lifestyle. There was no internet, no mobile phones, and everything had to be done with paper and pen instead of computers! Even the aesthetic views were vastly different.
Now that he had the ability, Gao Yang chose to enjoy life in the modern world.
After dinner, Gao Yang got into his car with the bag of sushi and entered the address from Jin Yongnam's text message into the navigation system to visit Zheng Xiujing.
The location where Zheng Xiujing was shooting the ad was in a department store in Myeongdong. When Gao Yang arrived, he found many people gathered around, and some were shouting Zheng Xiujing's name during the shooting breaks. "She's very popular," Gao Yang muttered, rubbing his forehead. In this situation, approaching her would cause her trouble.
Gao Yang left the department store, got back into his car, turned off the lights, and lit a cigarette, waiting quietly. The ad shooting continued until close to midnight. Gao Yang saw Zheng Xiujing come out of the department store and called her private number.
Zheng Xiujing, who was thanking the crew, felt her phone vibrate and quickly took it out. Seeing that the caller was Gao Yang, she smiled happily.
"OPPA, were you thinking of me?" Zheng Xiujing said happily. Gao Yang opened the car door and walked out, standing beside the car and smiling, "Is the shooting over? Are you hungry?" "Ah—really hungry, I want to eat a lot right now," Zheng Xiujing said in a coquettish tone.
"Look to your left front," "Huh?" Zheng Xiujing quickly looked up, and Gao Yang waved at her. "Ah!" Zheng Xiujing covered her mouth in surprise, she never expected Gao Yang to come and see her.
Gao Yang smiled, "I bought you some good food." "Yeah, OPPA is so nice. Um, can you wait for me in the parking lot over there?" Zheng Xiujing said hesitantly. Although it was very late, there were still many people on the streets of Myeongdong. If she got into Gao Yang's car directly, it would definitely make the front page of the newspapers the next day.
"Sure, I'll wait for you," Gao Yang smiled and hung up. Gao Yang understood the difficulties of being an artist and was very accommodating. He drove to a nearby parking lot. Not long after, a light blue Mercedes-Benz van drove in. The van stopped, and Zheng Xiujing ran over to the BMW, opened the door, and got in.
The agent in the van called Jin Yongnam. He was a new agent assigned by Jin Yongnam to protect Zheng Xiujing, and the assistants in the van were actually bodyguards.
Of course, he had to report that Zheng Xiujing got into a stranger's car. "What's the license plate number?" Jin Yongnam asked in a serious tone. After the agent reported the license plate number, Jin Yongnam visibly relaxed and said with a light laugh, "Remember that person. When Zheng Xiujing is with him, you don't need to interfere. Understand?" "Yes, I understand," the agent said earnestly.
In the BMW, Gao Yang smiled, "You just ran into my car, doesn't your agent care?" Zheng Xiujing, who was busy opening the sushi box, said casually, "The company gave me a new agent, he doesn't care what I do, it's great." She opened the sushi box, picked up a piece of sushi, and extended it to Gao Yang's mouth, "Ah—" Gao Yang smiled and opened his mouth to eat the sushi. She focused on the sushi and happily ate it.
Gao Yang sat sideways, smiling at Zheng Xiujing. She had just finished shooting and hadn't taken off her makeup or changed clothes. Her face was adorned with a delicate makeup, and her wavy medium-length hair fell over her shoulders. She wore a black hot pants, with her long legs together, and the sushi box on top. She wore transparent high heels, and her toenails were painted pink, contrasting with her white legs, making Gao Yang's mouth dry. She wore a white lace sleeveless top, the hem hanging over the hot pants, exposing her white arms, and the black bra outline faintly visible. The strong contrast between black and white made Gao Yang feel his gaze was about to get lost.
Gao Yang felt his mouth dry and wanted to drink water. Zheng Xiujing's pace of eating sushi gradually slowed down, and she leaned slightly against the car door, her cheeks flushed. She lowered her head, quietly eating the sushi, and didn't dare to look at Gao Yang.
"Cough." Gao Yang looked away, sat up straight, and coughed lightly, "I forgot to buy you water. Wait a moment, I'll go buy some." "Okay," Zheng Xiujing responded softly. Gao Yang opened the car door and got out.
He took a deep breath. It had rained in Seoul during the day, and the air had a fresh scent. He calmed down and left the parking lot, heading towards a nearby supermarket. After buying two bottles of mineral water, he returned to the car, and Zheng Xiujing had already finished the sushi. "Thank you, OPPA." She took the opened mineral water from Gao Yang and started drinking.
"Do you always work until this late?" Gao Yang asked. Zheng Xiujing put down the mineral water and smiled, "Before, it was mostly like this, but after the company was acquired, my schedule has been reduced a lot. The number of jobs is less, but the quality of each job is high. I usually don't work this late now. Today, it was because the director was not satisfied with the ad, so it dragged on until now. By the way, the company is preparing to re-sign contracts with all the artists, and the benefits have been greatly improved. My sister even said she wants to stay in the company forever." Zheng Xiujing said happily, and it was clear she was in a good mood.
Gao Yang smiled. Jin Yongnam had reported this to him. Feeling Zheng Xiujing's joy and looking at her bright and beautiful face, Gao Yang's lips curled up, and he leaned towards her. Zheng Xiujing bit her lip slightly, raised her head, and looked at Gao Yang, who was getting closer, her cheeks flushed. Her shy expression made Gao Yang's heart beat faster.
He gently wrapped his arm around Zheng Xiujing's shoulder and held her hand with the other. He leaned down and kissed her rosy lips. The sweet and smooth feeling made Gao Yang's breathing quicken. Zheng Xiujing felt Gao Yang's warm breath, which tickled her face and invaded her lips.
Zheng Xiujing felt her mouth dry and her heart race, as if she couldn't breathe. She bit Gao Yang's tongue. "Mmm," Gao Yang grunted and let go of her. Both of them were breathing heavily, and Zheng Xiujing, with a flushed face, said softly, "I can't breathe." Gao Yang responded softly and took a sip of the mineral water.
After a while, Gao Yang asked, "Tomorrow, well, it's already today, where do you want to go for our date?" "Ah, I haven't decided yet," Zheng Xiujing said softly. "Okay, it's already very late, let me take you home," Gao Yang said with a smile. "Okay," Zheng Xiujing responded.
