"Okay, see you later."
Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and threw the phone on the seat beside him.
Kim Taeyeon called. As soon as the call was answered, she called Chi Jingyuan excitedly to go out for a drink. Without waiting for his consent, she directly reported the location and urged him to come and fix the ink stains.
Girls' Generation has been going to Neon since late April for their third tour. Except for Huang Miying who ran back to see the male tickets during the break, the other members Ji Kyungwon have not been seen for a month.
There happened to be nothing going on tonight, and it wasn't too late now, so Chi Jingyuan simply agreed.
By the way, how did this sister know that EXO had nothing to do today? If he really couldn't spare the time during the concert a few days ago.
"Brother, go to Samseongdong..." Chi Jingyuan reported the address that Kim Taeyeon had just given him. As soon as he finished speaking, the phone next to him rang again.
When I picked it up and opened it, it was Pei Xiuzhi calling.
"Don't stop it when you're young..." Chi Jingyuan, who had just sat up, leaned back again, exhaled and answered the phone.
He was also asked to go out and meet.
Pei Xiuzhi disappeared for a few days since the last time we got up together. Maybe she was calm or hesitant and thinking, but she took the initiative to call again within a few days.
The tone and mode of getting along were the same as before, but Chi Jingyuan felt that her attitude had changed slightly.
Before, the two of them were almost a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and some sparks were sparked. It was interesting to try each other out. It didn't matter whether they succeeded or not, they were very free and easy.
But during this time, Bae Suzy became a little more serious. Even if she didn't make an appointment, she would call him from time to time to chat.
Chi Jingyuan was busy with her comeback and concert a few days ago. She knew that she was very busy and was very sensible so she didn't bother him. Today, she may have called directly after seeing the performance.
It's a pity that I hit it a little late.
"Well, hang up first."
After Pei Xiuzhi knew that he had an appointment, she was not entangled or unhappy at all. She smiled and moved to other topics and chatted casually for a while. Then she left and said that she would remember to call her when she had time next time and hung up.
Putting down the phone with a black screen, Chi Jingyuan looked up at the ceiling of the car and smiled suddenly.
Quite interesting...
…………
"Didn't you mean drinking?"
The address given by Kim Taeyeon was a small but atmospherically decorated bar on the back side of the road. There were not many customers. When Chi Jingyuan arrived, he immediately spotted Taeyeon sitting in the corner. After walking over, Seeing her holding a large cup of coffee and playing with her mobile phone, the corners of his mouth twitched and he sat across from her, asking helplessly.
Today, she has black hair, with bangs combed in front of her forehead, and a small ponytail at the back, which is somewhat similar to the style of ".", but she looks much younger without much makeup at this time, and she is wearing white clothes that are obviously one size larger than her. Sweatshirt, a very casual look.
"Here we come..."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan sitting down, Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up. She put down her phone and waved with a smile, then picked up the wine she had ordered on the table, poured a glass and handed it to him, and blinked when she met Chi Jingyuan's gaze. Blinking, he said matter-of-factly: "Here... I told you to drink. I didn't say I wanted to drink too. It's not like you don't understand Nuna's ability to drink..."
After saying that, Kim Taeyeon flipped her hair and gave her a flirtatious look: "But if Jingyuan, you have other ideas, Nu Na doesn't mind."
Sure enough, it's because of their age. Girls' Generation girls don't feel embarrassed at all when flirting with people. They were like this when they first met Sunny, and Taeyeon was like this after they got to know each other.
"Miah Nei, it seems that Nuna has already drank."
Chi Jingyuan took a sip from the glass and put it next to him, with an expression on his face that he had misunderstood.
"Ah, what do you mean?" Kim Taeyeon looked serious and glared at him fiercely, but within two seconds she broke out and started laughing.
"Aren't you having a concert in Neon? Why did you suddenly come back today?" Chi Jingyuan looked around: "And is it just Taeyeon? I thought there would be several other seniors, Sunny That it?"
"How many people do I need to chat with you? I can't do it alone..."
Kim Taeyeon glanced at him, took a sip of coffee and explained:
"We just finished our performance in Kobe yesterday on the 25th, and the next one will start on June 5th, with less than a week's holiday in between. Pani, Yuri and I flew back directly... Sunny said she was too lazy to fly back and forth. Just because the neon didn’t come back.”
"By the way, Yuri is here to participate in the Baeksang Arts Awards tomorrow. Didn't she release a movie "Hing" this year? I heard she said she should be able to win a popularity award or something like that. Jingyuan, you are sure tomorrow Do you want to participate too? "The Heirs" was so popular last year." Speaking of this, Kim Taeyeon looked at him curiously as if she was remembering.
"Well, the organizer has invited me to participate tomorrow, and there should be awards."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, then curled his lips: "If the prediction is correct, he should be the most popular actor in the TV series department."
The Baeksang Arts Awards is the most prestigious and recognized awards ceremony in the field of TV dramas. The 50th award ceremony since its inception will be held tomorrow. Ji Kyung-won was invited a few days ago, and their EXO-K team There are also stage performances.
He didn't know much about the film department this year, but the competition for Baeksang's TV drama awards this year was extremely fierce. Last year's SBS TV dramas alone were explosive from the middle of the year to the end of the year, and then continued to the beginning of 2014. Each of them The competitiveness of any drama is very strong, and it is an excellent drama that is likely to compete for major awards in any normal year.
It's true that "The Heirs" is very popular, but there are others that are even more popular than it. Chi Jingyuan asked about it a few days ago and found out that it is very difficult for him, a popular actor, to win awards.
"Where's the grand prize? Is it possible for you to win the grand prize?" Kim Taeyeon's eyes widened, a little whimsical.
"It's basically impossible. Eighty percent of the grand prize will go to senior Jun Ji-hyun." Chi Jingyuan smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"In this way...it doesn't matter if you don't get the big prize."
Kim Taeyeon nodded as if she understood, and said to him with comfort and praise: "Baeksang's Popularity Award is also a very good award, and Jingyuan, you are really awesome. , two dramas in a row are so popular, you should be the most successful actor in the idol circle now, right?"
Kim Taeyeon is right, she is indeed very powerful. The competition this year is so fierce, it is really good to win the most valuable popularity award.
"How is it possible..." But Chi Jingyuan quickly shook his head and said modestly: "Isn't there still Senior Yoona..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Before Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, Kim Taeyeon burst out laughing. She raised her head and laughed heartily a few times. Then she quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth to prevent her expression from being too presumptuous. After laughing for a while, she gave him a hard look. He said angrily: "You know how to mock Yoona. If she hears it, even if she doesn't say it, she will definitely be angry in her heart."
"There are only two of us here, how can Senior Yoona hear this?"
"Then maybe I can go back and tell the truth?" Kim Taeyeon crossed her arms and looked at Chi Jingyuan with some pride.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan stood up with a smile, poured a glass of wine, and served it respectfully in front of Kim Taeyeon. Taeyeon couldn't help but laugh when she saw this compliment, and then pretended to be a reserved expression like "You know people well." Picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Kim Taeyeon and Chi Kyung-won seem to be getting along quite well. They haven't seen each other for more than a month, but they are not very unfamiliar with each other. They can laugh and curse and talk about anything. The atmosphere of chatting is good, and Taeyeon's bold words are heard from time to time. laughter.
"Didn't you just finish your concert in Seoul? How did you feel?"
After talking for a while, and only taking a few sips of wine, Taeyeon's face turned a little red, and she continued to ask in a lively conversation.
"Ah, it feels really good, especially the first performance. It should be one of the things that left the deepest impression on me since my debut."
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, raised his eyes, thought about it, and sighed with some aftertaste.
Even after several days, the scenes and pictures of that day still often appeared in front of his eyes, which was really impressive.
Even though the next two days were the same performances, they were far less emotional than the first day of the concert.
"Yes, of course the first concert was very impressive. I remember our first concert was in 2009. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye..."
Kim Taeyeon also looked out the window reminiscingly, seeming to think of the present, and couldn't help but sigh: "The children have grown up, and it's already the year to renew the contract."
"By the way, Taeyeon, how is the progress of your contract renewal? Will all SNSD contracts be renewed?" After talking about this, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and asked.
He has always been paying attention and is quite curious.
"As for the progress, I only know my own progress. I don't know the specific progress of other people. We rarely talk about it... After all, the members have their own careers, and there must be many things to consider for the second contract... In addition to Girls' Generation, the main thing is to reach an agreement with the company on personal development plans. It's not that simple..."
Chi Jingyuan didn't feel that Chi Jingyuan's question was a bit straightforward. Kim Taeyeon picked up the wine glass and took another sip. As soon as she took a sip, she couldn't help but burped. She shook her head and held the wine glass between her fingers. She lowered her head and looked at it carefully. The smile was a little complicated: "Some want to act, some want to go solo, and some want to start a brand... But everyone should still prefer to renew the contract, after all, it is Girls' Generation."
Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly. He could vaguely feel some of Taeyeon's mood.
"By the way, do you know what my requirements for the company's contract renewal are?" Kim Taeyeon suddenly looked up at him.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan held his eyes open and shook his head.
"In addition to the return of the team, my personal request is to go solo."
A car happened to drive by, and the residual light of the car's headlights swept across Taeyeon's face. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the window, with some memories and expectations: "I just debuted two years ago. When I was quite popular, the company had a plan for me to go solo, but it was delayed due to various things, and it has not been realized until today."
"I included this requirement in this contract renewal, and my attitude is very firm." As she said this, she raised her hands and clenched her fists to prove her inner persistence.
"What did the company say? I think it's okay." Chi Jingyuan looked at her.
Taeyeon has been one of the most popular members of Girls' Generation since her debut, and her vocal skills have been recognized by many people. When it comes to solos, there should be few in SNSD who are more suitable than her.
"The company has plans in this regard, so there should be no problem. If the contract is successfully renewed, planning may be officially started next year at the earliest."
At this point, Kim Taeyeon turned around and looked at Chi Jingyuan with her eyes, smiling happily: "If my solo project starts, Jingyuan, do you want to be my producer?"
"I?"
Chi Jingyuan and Taeyeon's eyes met, and they pointed at themselves in surprise, smacked their lips and said: "Although I have participated in the production of many of our XO albums, I have never really served as an album producer. Do you believe me so much?"
"Gui, I just believe you!"
Kim Taeyeon looked at him and nodded seriously: "I have listened to all your XO songs, and I like all your self-composed songs, especially "Some". The sound source of this song is really amazing..." And I also inquired about it and found out about your importance and contribution in the production of your album. You came up with many great ideas."
"Originally, this time we TTS will return in the second half of the year. During the previous meeting, I proposed to the company that you participate in the production, but the company rejected it after considering it. What did you say about EXO's first tour? You are very busy and have no time. And there’s some bullshit like a lack of experience.”
Devouring Web
With a slight snort and a disdainful curl of her lips, Kim Taeyeon was obviously a little dissatisfied with the company's response, but she quickly adjusted and continued: "But if it is my own solo album, I still have a lot of say. Jingyuan, if you tell me If the company also expresses its intention, it should be fine."
"Well, Noona believes in my words so much..."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged. Making an album was also a good attempt for him. After participating in and accumulating XO's two albums, he already had some experience.
Besides, Kim Taeyeon is quite happy that she thinks so highly of him.
"If there's nothing else going on at that time, of course that's fine with me." Chi Jingyuan nodded and didn't say much. It was still early anyway, and I wouldn't know what the situation would be by then.
"Then it's settled!" Kim Taeyeon waved her hand, as if she had finalized the contract, and took a couple of sips of wine happily, as if she was about to start her solo tomorrow.
Seeing her state, Chi Jingyuan sighed:
"Nu, then you should renew the contract first and then talk about it..."
"Maybe you won't be in SM next year."
…………
Ignoring Kim Taeyeon who was clamoring to take him back to the dormitory in her big Mercedes-Benz, Chi Jingyuan called Park Jaehyun to drive Kim Taeyeon back, and then the car drove towards the EXO dormitory.
"Jingyuan, you and Taeyeon have a really good relationship." Park Jae-hyun smiled and made a casual conversation while driving the car.
"Ah...it's really not bad, I'm quite compatible."
Chi Jingyuan sat in the back row and breathed a little drowsily, then nodded and replied.
After looking out the window, Chi Jingyuan touched his stomach when he was almost reaching his destination. He suddenly felt a little hungry and hadn't eaten much all night.
After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan leaned forward and said, "Brother, go find a place near the dormitory to buy something to eat."
"What to eat?"
"Hmm... let's go to the grilled intestines from the restaurant next door. It tastes pretty good."
"OK."
After a while, Park Jaehyun drove the car to an alley near EXO's dormitory, parked the car, opened the door and walked towards a barbecue restaurant that was still open across the road.
The white street lights were a little dim. There were no pedestrians at this time. Most of the surrounding stores had already been opened. There were only two or three shops still open on the entire road.
Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the car and scrolling listlessly on his phone. There was no breaking news in the past two days.
After waiting for a while, two figures close to each other slowly walked past their car. Chi Jingyuan glanced at them from the corner of his eye and was suddenly stunned. He quickly moved his buttocks twice and looked through the car window.
A man and a woman were obviously lovers. Even if the man was wearing a baseball cap, he could recognize Bian Baekhyun at a glance. They were so familiar after living together in the dormitory for more than two years.
And that woman was the reason for his surprise. Chi Jingyuan glanced at her casually just now, and when that profile flashed past, he thought she was Kim Taeyeon. She had just been sent back to her, so why did she suddenly appear here and still be so friendly? Baekhyun got together.
But after he looked at it carefully for a while, he discovered that it was not a person, but Kim Ji-sook, a member of the female idol group rainbow.
This group, Chi Jingyuan, is quite familiar. When Rainbow first debuted in 2012, Jin Zaijing of Rainbow asked him for his contact information and took the initiative to launch an attack for a while. It's just that Chi Jingyuan felt that the age difference was a bit big, so his response was relatively dull. The other party understood what he meant after trying it a few times, and gave up after a while.
At this time, Baekhyun and Kim Ji-sook are obviously dating. They have just finished a date and are taking a leisurely walk. They are probably about to say goodbye and leave soon.
They couldn't have separated only at the gate of the community. EXO's dormitory community has fans staying there all year round, and there are always nights. Bian Baekhyun must be very aware of this.
Chi Jingyuan remembered that Wu Shixun mentioned to him about a member's relationship last time, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time... Now that they met by chance, he found that this girl and Taeyeon looked really similar. No wonder he just Admitted mistake.
Looking at the two people's retreating figures in the mirror, he blinked, feeling very interesting in his heart.
Baekhyun’s efforts to pursue Kim Taeyeon are in vain, so...
Shaking his head, Chi Jingyuan sat back in the middle of the back seat and picked up his phone again.
Forget it, just watch the excitement, it's none of his business.
