“What’s wrong with your character?”
Chi Jingyuan looked over curiously.
"I just heard..."
Kang Seulgi immediately shied away from responsibility and said it had nothing to do with her: "I heard some rumors among trainees, it seems that Sulli's personality is more...um...selfish, and she is more casual in doing things. Sometimes the company's management is... Not very listenable.”
"Are you female trainees so interested in these things every day?"
Chi Jingyuan complained, but remembering the interaction with Cui Xueli when he was MC a few days ago, he thought for a few seconds and nodded: "It's not groundless, she may have a little bit. But I contacted her I’ve been here a few times and I feel like he has a pretty good personality.”
"Compared to the rumors, of course I believe in your vision, Jingyuan!"
Jiang Seulqi puffed up her cheeks and smiled, looking very naive: "Besides, Sulli-senpai is a senior who has already debuted, so we will definitely be happy to get to know each other."
"Tch, then you can go show off. You and Chi Jingyuan are close friends."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and retorted.
"Wow, how did you know we always show off to you?"
Sun Shengwan looked at him with wide eyes as if he had been exposed.
"Hahaha……"
Several other people couldn't help but laugh. This kid really didn't look very smart.
"How are you guys doing lately? Is there any news about your debut?" Chi Jingyuan asked with concern.
"Nai, speaking of this... we have received news. The company seems to be preparing to launch a project for pre-stars recently, called SMRookies. It will continue to disclose the training process and daily life of some trainees online. The director said that if we can If you enroll in school, your chances of debuting will increase a lot."
When Jiang Seulqi mentioned this, she immediately became energetic, introduced her with bright eyes, and closed her mouth after speaking. She was a little reserved and did not continue talking, with an expression on her face as if you were going to ask more questions.
"Well, let me ask, have you been selected?"
Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun looked at each other, sighed, and took advantage of her wish to ask.
"Hahaha, Zzang! The room director has already communicated with me. I am already a preparatory player of SMRookies. After all, I have been practicing for several years and am very strong."
Jiang Seulqi had a proud look on her face and seemed to be squealing happily.
"What about Victory?"
"I was not selected this time, but the teacher told me that I have good singing skills and have made rapid progress in other aspects. The company is very interested in me and I have great hopes for the next time."
Sun Shengwan got the promise, so he didn't lose heart. He smiled and clapped his hands with Jiang Seulqi. The two looked at each other and smiled, looking very tired.
"By the way, Joohyun Unnie was also selected."
Jiang Seulqi seemed to suddenly think of something and added something.
"Juhyun Unnie... Bae Zhuhyun? When did you become so familiar with her?"
Hearing the name, Chi Jingyuan gritted his teeth.
"Didn't I tell you before? We have known each other for a long time. We have been practicing and eating together frequently since more than half a year ago."
"She seems quite cold when we are not close, but after getting to know her more, I find that she is actually a very good person, and sometimes she is a bit dull. Hehe, I will introduce you to her next time."
Speaking of Bae Joo Hyun and Seulgi, they talked about each other.
"Joohyun Unnie also pays attention to EXO. By the way, she is a bit similar to Kyungwon. She also seems to like those childish anime."
With that said, Jiang Seqi pointed at Chi Jingyuan's clothes and pursed her lips.
"Childish? My clothes are so trendy, how can I be childish?"
Chi Jingyuan immediately retorted, frowning and looking serious.
He was wearing a white crew-neck shirt today, with a pattern of Nobita Nobita, the male protagonist of "Fat Blue", standing at attention on the front, with his hand next to his forehead and a serious look on his face, saluting forward.
It's obviously a very formal expression and action, but when it's done by Nobita, it's inexplicably funny.
"Don't mention it. If you go out wearing these clothes, I don't even want to stand with you. A group of people were staring at your clothes just now, and we almost got recognized."
Wu Shixun looked at Chi Jingyuan's clothes and waved his hands with a look of disgust.
"That's because you don't understand."
Chi Jingyuan snorted and curled his lips.
"I think it's pretty good-looking and cute." Son Seung-wan said that he liked it very much.
Just when a few people were arguing about whether Chi Jingyuan's clothes looked good or not, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it. After saying "I'll pick her up" to a few people, he put on a mask and walked out of the box. .
When she arrived at the door of the restaurant, she saw Cui Xueli walking towards her. Although she was also disguised, her orange-red hair color and figure were really conspicuous, and Chi Jingyuan recognized her at a glance.
Cui Xueli was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, with her hair tied into a braid on the back of her head. She looked like a complete student.
After waving to her, Cui Shirley visibly bent her eyes, quickened her pace and walked over:
"I really didn't expect that your private style is like this." She stared at Nobita on Chi Jingyuan's clothes for a while and said in disbelief.
"He's very handsome. You'll know later. Let's go."
Chi Jingyuan took Cui Xueli to the box. They greeted each other warmly. Cui Shirley smiled happily. Even when facing two female trainees who had not yet debuted, she did not feel contempt at all, but felt very natural. We sat next to each other and started chatting.
They were all from SM company and had met each other many times in the company before. At the same time, in the same year of 1994, Chi Jingyuan introduced each other as the center, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
After eating and drinking, we didn’t chat for long. We originally took time out in the evening, and the trainees couldn’t go back too late at night. EXO and FX also had announcements tomorrow.
After finishing, everyone went back separately. Oh Sehun sent Jiang Seulqi and two back in the car, while Chi Kyungwon sent Cui Shirley back to FX's dormitory in Park Jaehyun's car.
The black car stopped and stopped on the busy road. The bright and colorful night view of Seoul seemed a bit dazzling on the windows. The noisy horn made the interior of the car extremely quiet.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli were sitting in the back row, one by the left window and the other by the right window, looking at the scenery outside the window respectively. The laughter and excitement at the party just now seemed to have been taken away by something, and now only Silence.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."
Chi Jingyuan spoke, his eyes still looking out the window, but Cui Shirley knew clearly that he was talking to himself.
"Keep your original character, be yourself and pay a little attention to other people's feelings. There is no need to lower your posture and agree."
Chi Jingyuan's voice was calm and soft, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
He noticed it when they were eating just now. Cui Xueli's attitude was a bit strange, not exactly flattering, but she deliberately lowered her attitude and took the initiative to chat and build a relationship with Jiang Seulqi.
If not for this, even in the same year, she, a very popular senior who had debuted for several years, would not have had such a happy chat with two female trainees.
"It's not easy to meet a few people of the same age. I just want to have a few more relatives and friends I can talk to. And aren't you also there?"
Cui Xueli put her hand on the car door, her head resting on her arm, her lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were filled with longing, and she looked out the window at the passing street scene and replied.
Her expression at this time looked a little indifferent, which was very different from her enthusiastic self just now.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly asked Chi Jingyuan a question:
"By the way, were you ever bullied when you were in school?"
