Chapter 554: The Last Tenderness Before Returning Home

The two people were very crazy that night. Lee Ji-eun clung to Zhao Yun tightly, again and again, until she was exhausted and collapsed in Zhao Yun's arms.

Zhao Yun stroked her smooth back and said, "You work so hard, can you still walk tomorrow?"

"No! I just want to serve you well today and make you never forget me!" Lee Ji-eun said dejectedly.

Zhao Yun hugged Li Zhien in his arms and kissed her again with some heartache.

"When will you return to China?" Lee Ji-eun leaned on Zhao Yun's shoulder, her little hand holding Zhao Yun's hand with their fingers crossed.

Zhao Yun said quietly, "Tell me to return home the day after tomorrow, and the domestic leaders will arrange to meet me."

"Well! So where are we going tomorrow?"

"I will listen to your instructions. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"

Zhao Yun and Li Zhien came to Bongeunsa Temple, which is surrounded by mountains, with towering ancient trees and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The gate of the temple was open to welcome their arrival.

They walked through the temple's front yard and entered the main hall. The Buddha statues in the hall were solemn and majestic, and the incense was lingering, giving people a solemn and sacred feeling. Zhao Yun and Li Zhien clasped their hands together devoutly and prayed silently.

Li Zhien prayed for Zhao Yun, "I hope Oppa will never get hurt and will always be healthy!"

In the temple courtyard, they strolled along the bluestone path and admired the surrounding scenery. The towering old trees, the chirping birds and the fragrant flowers made them feel as if they were in a beautiful painting. They felt the breath of nature and their hearts were at peace for a moment.

During the visit to Bongeunsa Temple, Zhao Yun and Li Zhien not only experienced the tranquility and solemnity of the temple, but also felt a kind of cleansing and sublimation in the depths of their hearts. They snuggled up to each other and enjoyed the quiet time before parting.

The two of them strolled to Apgujeong to rest. Li Zhien looked around and said, "The name of this pavilion is very meaningful. The top leaders of our country like this pavilion very much and want to buy this name for themselves!"

Zhao Yun looked at the words "Apgujeong" and couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, the words "Apgujeong" were given to you by the flower-growing family!"

Li Zhien looked at Zhao Yun in surprise, frowning slightly, "You mean, the name of this pavilion was given by the flower-growing family?"

Zhao Yun nodded and explained, "Yes, the name Apgujeong comes from an ancient story. It is said that in ancient times, there was a scholar who loved to be close to seagulls. He often strolled along the beach and played with them. People named this pavilion Apgujeong, which implies the concept of harmony between man and nature."

After hearing this, Li Zhien couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the name of this pavilion has such a story, which is really unexpected. I thought this was our own culture!"

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and continued, "In fact, many cultures and traditions that seem to belong to your country actually have a deep flower-growing family background. Because your country has been a vassal state of our country for a long time, your country's culture and history have been influenced by the flower-growing family. This is an inevitable fact. Things like the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and medicine are actually all passed down from our country to your country."

After listening to this, Li Zhien fell into deep thought. She realized that she still had a lot to learn and understand about her country's culture. She decided to study her country's cultural history more deeply and understand the elements and stories of the flower growers contained therein.

"Our country is always thinking about applying for World Heritage status, so we might as well continue to be a vassal state of your country. That way, we will have the same origin and it will be much easier for us to get married."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled and touched her not-so-bright little head. Zhao Yun knew that perhaps the last sentence was what she really wanted to say.

The two continued to stroll in Apgujeong, admiring the surrounding scenery.

Someone from the General Administration of Sports also came to Seoul in the afternoon. Zhao Yun met with him and arranged for him to have a special dinner of Seoul.

Yang Fei said, "Zhao Yun, you are really awesome! I have never seen the Athletics Federation be so active."

"Haha, the reason why the World Athletics Federation can win this confrontation is that our country's comprehensive national strength is growing day by day, so they dare not underestimate our demands. Another reason is that our country's voice in the world has also begun to rise. The most important reason is that our country's track and field has brought huge profits to the World Athletics Federation in recent years. With such a large market, they have to bow their heads." Zhao Yun said slowly.

"In fact, there is another important reason, that is your influence worldwide. In fact, you represent the track and field market of the Flower Growing Family to a large extent. Without you, the track and field market of the Flower Growing Family would not be so popular." Yang Fei praised Zhao Yun generously.

"No matter how great a person is, he is insignificant in front of the country. I am just a person who happened to reap the dividends of the country's market development." Zhao Yun was not dazzled by his praise.

The next day, the sun shone through the morning mist on the streets of Seoul. Li Zhien arrived at the airport early, holding the small gift prepared for Zhao Yun in her hand, with mixed feelings.

She stood in the airport lobby, her eyes constantly glancing towards the entrance, anticipating Zhao Yun's arrival. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and every second was filled with anticipation and reluctance.

Finally, Zhao Yun appeared at the entrance. He dragged his suitcase and walked briskly towards Li Zhien. When he saw Li Zhien, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"IU, thank you for coming to see me off." Zhao Yun's voice was full of gratitude.

Li Zhien smiled and shook her head, then handed the small gift in her hand to Zhao Yun, "This is a small gift I prepared for you."

Zhao Yun took the gift and opened it. It was a beautiful photo album. It contained all the photos she had taken with Zhao Yun during these days, recording the process of their getting along. "Thank you, IU."

The two stood in the airport lobby, and for a moment the whole world seemed to be quiet. They stared at each other silently, as if they wanted to deeply imprint each other's figures in their hearts.

"Zhao Yun, you must take good care of yourself and don't make me worry." Li Zhien's voice trembled a little.

Zhao Yun held Li Zhien's hand tightly, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will. You also have to live well and take care of yourself."

After that, Zhao Yun hugged Li Zhien, kissed her little head with a hat on, and turned to walk towards the security check. Li Zhien stood there with tears in her eyes, watching Zhao Yun's back gradually go away. Until his figure disappeared in the crowd, she slowly turned around, wiped her tears and left the airport.

She knew that this separation did not mean farewell forever. They would meet again in the future. And this beautiful memory would remain in their hearts forever.
