Chapter 70: The Journey to Guangzhou (Part 1)

  Thanks to the incident of Song Chong-xian and others escaping military service, Zhang Cheng-yuan's popularity unexpectedly rose a lot in October, so he also received more invitations. However, compared to his most glorious period, there is still a slight gap, so he can still take some time out to gather with friends.

  On this day, Zhang Chengyuan received a courtesy call from Wen Genying. This kind of phone call, the two would normally make to each other every three or five days, apart from talking about their recent situation and maintaining their relationship, there wasn't much else to say. However, this time was slightly different, Zhang Chengyuan vaguely felt from Wen Genying's voice that she seemed very tired and struggling, so he quickly asked for the reason, after several rounds of questioning, he finally found out that Wen Genying was practicing Latin dance diligently in order to perform well in a movie role. Due to practicing too hard, she was spiritually weak, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't chatted with Zhang Chengyuan for several days, so she wanted to relieve her spiritual fatigue by chatting with him.

  In August, Wen Junying had just taken on a film called "Pure Dance". In this movie, as the female lead, Wen Junying has to show off her Latin dance skills in many scenes. However, Wen Junying is almost a newcomer with no dance background and her flexibility is only average. So it's absolutely not easy for her to become a Latin dance expert in a short time.

  In order to practice Latin dance well, she started from the beginning of September and practiced for more than 5 hours almost every day. On weekends, she even practiced for ten hours, which was very hard, especially the flexibility training made her feel extremely painful because it needed to be done quickly. However, she didn't complain to anyone and endured it silently. If Zhang Chengyuan hadn't noticed that her body wasn't feeling well, she would have continued to hide it from him, as she didn't want all the people who cared about her to worry about her.

  But even if she doesn't say it, the publicist of "Pure Dance" will eventually make a big deal out of Wen Genying's dance training to attract attention and promote the movie. By then, Zhang Chengyuan and others will naturally find out too.

  After understanding the difficulties faced by Wen Ying, Zhang Chengyuan began to think of a countermeasure.

  Because he has been doing qigong massage for his four sisters and the two Zheng sisters for many years, he has rich clinical experience in eliminating fatigue and alleviating pain, which is not inferior to that of professional masseurs. If he often does massage for Wen Genying, then Wen Genying will not have to worry about it. However, since men and women should not be too intimate, Wen Genying is now a tall and slender young woman, doing body massage for her occasionally once or twice is okay, but if it continues for several months, it seems too ambiguous, and he doesn't have so much time to run around Guangzhou either. Therefore, this method does not work.

  He immediately thought of another way. In the strong body technique he learned in his previous life, there was a method for quickly recovering physical condition, which also had the effect of improving various aspects of physical quality. Perhaps it could be practiced by Wen Genying. However, practicing this technique would not be possible within one or two months, and while practicing this technique, not only must sufficient nutrition be guaranteed, but other methods of exercising the body could not be practiced at the same time. Although professional dancers' flexibility training was simple and couldn't enter Zhang Chengyuan's eyes, it still counted as a kind of physical exercise method. Therefore, if Wen Genying wanted to practice Zhang Chengyuan's strong body technique, she would have to suspend her flexibility exercises for several months. But wasn't this putting the cart before the horse? Because she originally didn't have much time to practice Latin dance, and at the beginning of next year or even the end of this year, filming would begin.

  So Zhang Chengyuan's second idea seems to be unfeasible as well. However, if Zhang Chengyuan is willing to sacrifice himself for others and use his own cultivation to regress one level as the price, forcing Wen Genying to quickly master this Qi-gathering and breath-control technique that eliminates fatigue and alleviates suffering, then it would work! The only question is whether Zhang Chengyuan is willing to make such a sacrifice for Wen Genying.

  Zhang Chengyuan weighed it and felt that a good sister like Wen Genying, who was not only excellent in character but also sweet and lovely in appearance, was worth paying a certain price for. Moreover, his cultivation had been stagnant for two or three years due to the thinness of the heaven and earth's primordial energy, and he might only be able to reach the peak of "refining essence and transforming energy" in this life. At this point, retreating a bit wouldn't make much difference. Anyway, after a year or two, he would naturally recover to his current level.

  After making up his mind, Zhang Chengyuan told Wen Genying that he wanted to see her tomorrow afternoon and asked her to wait at home. Wen Genying was a bit puzzled because in the past when Zhang Chengyuan met with her, they would always meet at cafes or restaurants in Seoul, never at her home. Why did he suddenly want to visit her at home this time? Wasn't he afraid that her parents would ask him questions and treat him like an intruder?

  The next morning at around 9 o'clock, Zhang Chengyuan asked Park Byung-ryul for a day off and then drove to Gwangju. Four hours later, he arrived in Gwangju and first found a quiet hotel on the outskirts and booked a suite. He rested in the room for about two hours before visiting Moon Geun-young's home.

  To welcome Zhang Chengyuan's arrival, Wen Genying took a half-day leave today and stayed at home waiting for Zhang Chengyuan. However, during the waiting time at home, she still practiced her dance basics very hard. After hearing the doorbell ring, she came out with sweat all over her head.

  At this time, it was already afternoon working hours, and Wen Genying's parents had all gone to work. There were only Wen Genying and her grandmother at home. It can be said that Zhang Chengyuan deliberately chose this time to come over, with the intention of avoiding Wen Genying's parents, so as not to arouse their vigilance as loving parents, and thus he would not be able to take Wen Genying out today. However, Wen Genying's grandmother often accompanied Wen Genying and was quite familiar with Zhang Chengyuan, and her impression of him was even more favorable, seemingly considering him a potential candidate for her granddaughter's husband. Therefore, if he wanted to take Wen Genying out, her grandmother would probably not stop him, and might even encourage him to do so.

  As he entered the house, Zhang Chengyuan gave Wen Genying's grandmother a very polite and courteous greeting, making her extremely happy. Then, he accompanied her with courtesy and enthusiasm, chatting with her for nearly half an hour before tactfully suggesting that he would like to ask Wen Genying to take him on a tour of Gwangju and also inviting Wen Genying out for dinner in the evening.

  Perhaps the old lady was confused by his sincere attitude, or perhaps she was delighted to see Zhang Chengyuan and Wen Genying become more intimate and have better development in the future. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan easily obtained her permission and took Wen Genying out of the door after changing clothes. Of course, Wen Genying himself was also very happy to be with Zhang Chengyuan.

  As soon as they left the house, Zhang Chengyuan drove with Wen Genying straight to the hotel. Wen Genying asked curiously: "Brother Chengyuan, didn't you just tell my grandmother that I would take you to the Gwangju National Museum to see Chinese Song Dynasty ceramics? Why aren't we going there now? Where are we going?"

  Zhang Chengyuan said: "If I hadn't said that earlier, how would your grandmother have been at ease with me taking you out? Hmm, the museum can wait, let's take care of the important things first."

  Wen nodded and didn't protest, very trusting, handing over the next itinerary to Zhang Chengyuan.

  The two chatted happily about family matters all the way, and soon they left the city and arrived at the hotel that Zhang Chengyuan had previously arranged. Because Wen Genying was a well-known celebrity in Gwangju, before getting out of the car, Zhang Chengyuan helped her put on a woman's sun hat with a wide brim. As soon as she put it on, Wen Genying's originally small face was immediately covered up by more than half.

  She carefully entered the hotel suite, Wen Genying took off her hat and panted: "It was really dangerous just now, almost got recognized by an acquaintance uncle, fortunately flashed quickly." The reason for her panting was not because of physical fatigue, but because she was too nervous.

  Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "I think he didn't recognize you at all, you're just being paranoid. Oh! You're afraid that if this gets out, the media will report that I took you to open a room!"

  Wen Genying slapped the hat onto Zhang Chengyuan's body and huffed, "It's all because brother brought me to this hotel for no reason, I was so scared to death!"

  Zhang Chengyuan suddenly said seriously: "Thank you for trusting me so much, but I really didn't handle this matter well enough today. However, I had no choice but to do it this way. If I had done it at your home, I'm afraid your family would have misunderstood even more and might have even killed me."

  "What's going on? I asked you several times in the car, but you didn't tell me. You had to do it in the hotel room, Cheng Yuan Ge, you wouldn't really have any ulterior motives towards me, would you?" Wen Genying joked.

  Zhang Chengyu tapped her forehead lightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? With your current innocent look, how could I have any improper thoughts? Besides, I already have a girlfriend."

  "Girlfriend? Who is that? Tell me, I want to know." Wen Gen currently only regards Zhang Chengyuan as a brother, and upon hearing that Zhang Chengyuan has a girlfriend, he doesn't have any other strange thoughts, but rather just some curiosity.

  "It's Lee... Oh, never mind, I'll tell you about it later. Let's focus on the main issue for now." In his heart, Lee Hyo-ri, Sung Yu-ri and the other two were all destined to be his lifelong partners. There were too many women, and it was hard to introduce them to others, as if mentioning one would be unfair to the other three.

  Next, Wen Ying couldn't ask any more questions, he reached out and pressed a few points on her body to immobilize her, carried her to the bed, took off her outer clothes, sat in a lotus position, then sat behind her back, and infused her with true energy...
