Chi Jingyuan was seen by Sun Shengwan as soon as he walked around the corner. Their eyes met in the air. Chi Jingyuan put his index finger on his mouth and shushed slightly to signal to be quiet, but Sun Shengwan immediately became happy. When the thought came to her, she immediately showed a mean smile and nodded. She glanced at Pei Zhuxuan secretly with a lively and involved expression, and then watched with a suppressed smile as Chi Jingyuan walked lightly and silently behind Pei Zhuxuan.
The girl on the side who didn't recognize him also noticed Chi Jingyuan. She instantly recognized the senior and her eyes widened in surprise. Then she immediately saw what he wanted to do and covered her mouth without saying a word.
Chi Jingyuan walked quietly behind Pei Zhuxuan, and gently lowered his head and leaned behind her head. At this time, the girl was still staring at the pattern on the door carefully, not knowing whether she was in a daze or studying something.
Under the joking gaze of the two people next to him, he suddenly asked, his voice deliberately lowered, and his tone seemed a bit serious:
"looking at what?"
"ah……"
The expected screams of terror came as expected, like a little baby who sees a wolf waiting for her in the house as soon as she opens the door. It is so sad that it makes your heart tremble.
Pei Zhuxuan's body shook violently a few times. When he wanted to look back and see who it was, he was so panicked that he accidentally tripped his left foot and his right foot, causing him to fall diagonally backward.
Chi Jingyuan, who was well prepared, quickly stretched out his hand, holding her waist to prevent her from falling, while grabbing her arm and pulling her back, allowing Pei Zhuxun's body to stand on the ground again, and at the same time, she Turned half a circle to face his direction.
It's like playing with a big doll.
"call……"
As if she had just ridden a roller coaster, Pei Zhuxuan stood there in panic, patting her chest gently to catch her breath. When she looked up, she saw Chi Jingyuan, who had an innocent look on his face and was blinking at her. Seeing the two sisters next to them covering their mouths and giggling crazily, a feeling of shame and anger rushed into their minds. They glared at him and rushed forward, slapping Chi Jingyuan hard on the back.
"Yeah! Here we go again, right?"
"Again?"
"Come again, come again?"
Like an angry jumping rabbit, Pei Zhuhyun frowned and gritted her teeth, her face red, while she slapped him hard, shouting angrily every time she hit him.
Chi Jingyuan felt that her current appearance was very interesting and contrasting with her usual calm and demure appearance, but on the surface she pretended to be beaten in pain and kept raising her hands in surrender.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan like this, Pei Zhuxuan's anger subsided a lot after being beaten a few times. Finally, she stood there, her hair on her forehead was a little messy, her right hand was casually placed on her waist, she breathed lightly while glaring fiercely. Looking at him: "Next time you scare me like this on purpose, I will kill you!"
Then he glanced fiercely at Sun Shengwan and the two people next to him, making them quickly suppress their smiles and quickly wave their hands to indicate that it had nothing to do with us.
"Arasso Arasso..."
Chi Jingyuan raised his hand to indicate that he understood, but at the same time he looked Pei Zhuxuan up and down, looking at the blush on her plain face, and asked curiously: "By the way...Does Zhuxuanxi often kill people?"
"Haha..." Sun Sheng couldn't hold back his laughter after two bursts of laughter.
"You..." Pei Zhuxuan became angry again. He looked up at Chi Jingyuan and raised his small fist as a threat. He just raised it and laughed angrily.
"Why are you here all of a sudden? You've been busy filming commercials lately. Don't you have any schedule today?"
Pei Zhuxuan glanced at him angrily, raised her foot and lightly kicked his calf to force the matter to an end. Then she quickly lowered her head to straighten her messed up bangs and asked.
Before Chi Jingyuan could answer, she suddenly remembered. She plucked her bangs a few times and stood up straight. She pointed at the girl next to her and introduced her actively: "By the way, this is Park Soo-young Joy. I was talking to you on the phone a few days ago. Said so."
"Senior Yuan, Aniha Saiyo."
The girl named Park Xiurong quickly walked over and bowed. After standing up, she kept looking at Chi Jingyuan's face. She had been admiring this EXO senior for a long time. Although she had met him by chance in the company before, She went there a few times, but basically never got a response to her greetings. She guessed that the other party didn't even have an impression of what she looked like.
"Hello..." Chi Jingyuan also smiled and nodded, not very enthusiastic but not very cold either. At the same time, he glanced up and down at Pu Xiurong without revealing anything.
Her face is not stunning, but she is quite recognizable, and her smile is quite contagious.
And this height is very good, it is the height that Bae Zhuhyun dreams of.
And Son Seung-wan.
A few days ago, Pei Zhuxuan and others excitedly called Chi Jingyuan and told him some great news.
After two rounds of screening and elimination, their girl group project has basically determined the four people who will debut first. In addition to Bae Zhuhyun, Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan, the other one is Park Sooyoung.
If no royal family descended from the sky, it should be the four of them.
The other remaining trainees are not completely eliminated. I heard that this project is still moving in the direction of 'infinitely adding members'. In the future, new members may be added to this girl group project every year.
According to Kang Seulgi, if there are no accidents, they should be expected to debut at the end of this year, around November.
There are still four or five months to go, but at least so many years of hard work and expectations are finally coming to fruition.
Chi Jingyuan still remembers the wild excitement and uncontrollable excitement in the voices of these people when they talked on the phone that day, as well as the easily audible choking and sobbing.
It’s quite emotional to think about the times when Ji Kyung-won and Bae Zhu-hyun met by chance in 2012. The other party was depressed, sad, confused and anxious, and he didn’t know how many pimples appeared on his face.
However, even if she successfully debuted at the end of this year, Bae Joo Hyun, who was born in 1991, is completely an older female idol. She is the same year as Girls' Generation's maknae Seohyun, who debuted in 2007, and is even a few months older.
It feels quite magical.
After Chi Jingyuan and Park Xiurong nodded, they high-fived Sun Shengwan, who was walking over with a smile, and said casually: "After so many days of work, it's time to take a breather. Our XO is here There is a dinner party nearby, and I'm going to go there and bump into you... Where is Seulgi? Wait for her to be there? "
Such an obvious gap in closeness made Pu Xiurong purse his lips, feeling a little envious in his heart.
"Hey, Seulqi was called over by the head of the room. She will come over in a moment. We are waiting for her to go have something to eat together."
Pei Zhuxuan took a breath after straightening her bangs, and replied looking at Chi Jingyuan who was still a little angry.
"Isn't it about managing your body shape?"
"Then it's okay to eat it once in a while."
"That's right...have you started practicing your debut song?" He asked curiously.
"Well, we've already started. I'm currently learning choreography from my teacher." Sun Shengwan snapped his fingers and twisted his waist and hips in an exaggerated way as if to demonstrate to him.
"Yes, it was around this time. I heard from the members that EXO also started practicing their debut song about half a year in advance."
Chi Jingyuan nodded. He didn't talk much. He tightened his shoulder bag and prepared to leave:
"Okay, the members are still waiting for me, so I'll leave first. I'll talk to you next time when I'm free."
"Um."
"Bye-Bye."
"Goodbye, senior..."
The three girls all said goodbye to him.
Chi Jingyuan took two steps and seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned around and looked back at Pei Zhuxuan, squinting his eyes and smiling at the sun: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you..."
"Congratulations, Irenexi."
Hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan also looked at him, and the two of them looked at each other. She blinked, then smiled and showed her small white teeth. The angry expression she had just now disappeared in an instant. She smoothed her hair and tilted her head. The corners of his mouth that couldn't hide his smile gave a gentle salute:
"Thank you, Senior Yuan."
After making an 'OK' gesture, Chi Jingyuan smiled, turned around, carried his bag, and left, leaving three girls staring at his back with different expressions.
…………
The party in the evening was quite lively, with a group of people eating, drinking and chatting. When the mood got better, they all complained about how unhappy the company was.
Byun Baekhyun, who had been depressed for several days, was also taken to drink a few drinks, as if he wanted to vent.
He was feeling better emotionally this time. The company didn't force him to break up, and he could continue to date secretly after the incident.
But the setbacks in his own career can only be borne by himself.
As for the importance of love and career, everyone's weighing is different.
But for most idols, it should be career.
I just don’t know if Byun Baekhyun and Kim Ji Sook will continue to date after this time, when both sides lost a large number of followers and were attacked, while being violently attacked online by angry planet fans.
After eating and drinking, it still had an effect. At least the atmosphere in the team was much better, and Baekhyun seemed to be more energetic.
But it was just to comfort himself. He lost 170,000 followers on Instagram in less than a week. The box office of the musical was greatly affected. Several of his personal fan sites were shut down by angry and disappointed webmasters.
These are real losses to his personal career and popularity.
As for Kim Ji-sook, she was unable to say a word after being attacked by EXO fans. Ji Kyung-won took the time to check Instagram in the past few days. Many of the comments were really excessive. At a glance, they were full of all kinds of things. Insulting words.
If you read this kind of text every day, you will probably become depressed over time.
Regardless of the disturbances from the outside world, their activities cannot be paused. In the next few days, EXO will still run their schedule normally. In addition to team activities, members with personal resources are busy with their own affairs.
Since returning on the 18th, Chi Jingyuan has been filming LG commercials and accepting various interviews for promotion. Even though he is very good at shooting commercials, he is really exhausted.
However, the effect is still very obvious. In the past few days, giant billboards and banners with Chi Kyung-yuan endorsing LG can be seen on several large business district plazas, office buildings, and landmark buildings in Seoul. His face and name are always visible. They are all being seen and heard by passers-by, and both their popularity and their own style are rising.
On June 27, EXO-K participated in the recording of the mid-year summary special of "Music Bank".
This is also EXO's first official public stage performance after Byon Baekhyun's love affair. Unfortunately, only Team K participated and the main actor Baekhyun did not come.
The exposure of Baekhyun's relationship has indeed had some impact on the entire EXO team. After all, Girls' Generation's Jewel is at the forefront, which makes many fans worry that it is just the beginning, and many members will be exposed in the future.
Overall, my sense of trust has been reduced, and I feel a little panicked.
But after all, it is just speculation and worry and has not really happened. Apart from Byun Baekhyun's own popularity being greatly affected, EXO's fundamentals have not been shaken. They are still one of the most popular boy groups in the peninsula. As long as the venue is still full Cheering and screaming.
KBS "Music Bank" basically holds a summary special every year, sometimes once and sometimes twice a year. Either in the middle of the year or at the end of the year.
In this year-end summary special, the performance that left a deep impression on Chi Jingyuan, apart from IU, was the special stage where several girl groups collaborated.
IU released the cover album "Flower Bookmark" in May this year. She changed her past innocent style and transformed into a "fun sister" image. The sound source of the entire album is very good, and many of the singles performed very well.
Among them, Chi Jingyuan thought the cover of the title song "The Story of My Past" was pretty good. He felt it was much better than the original singer Zhao Peide, and it sounded very emotional.
The other was a special stage for Girls' Generation's "", which was co-covered by the three girl groups Girlsday, AOA and Bestie. There were a total of twelve people on the stage, all dressed in black suits and top hats, looking very impressive.
After recording the stage, Team K left the TV station directly without waiting for all the artists to take the stage. They returned to the company to make preparations briefly, and then rushed to the airport with the company team and Team M, who had been waiting for a long time. They were waiting We will get off the plane and fly to Xiaguo Mountain City. There will be a concert tomorrow night.
In order to participate in this "Music Bank" mid-year summary special, the time is so tight, and I don't know how the company arranged it.
In the waiting room of Incheon International Airport, dozens of people from SM gathered together and the twelve members of EXO sat in two rows. The plane would arrive in about dozens of minutes.
Chi Jingyuan, who was bored, turned on his phone and browsed the news.
The hottest news in the past two days, apart from EXO's Baekhyun dating, the other one is BTS' Wu Saek's contract termination.
After Wu filed the complaint, he went quiet for a period of time. A few days ago, he posted on the Internet again, writing a short essay to express his feelings. At the same time, he published several sets of photos to prove that what he said was correct and that he I was indeed treated unfairly by the company, and was ostracized and bullied by other members.
Chi Jingyuan also read the news. They were all ambiguous photos, and the short essays he wrote were all his own words, and the proof was not very strong.
However, it did convince some passers-by, especially many ordinary people on the peninsula who are disgusted with bullying.
Although they very much despise and hate Wu's behavior of running away and terminating the contract, they also have the same contempt for BTS who have had exclusion incidents.
Of course, there must be many people who don't believe it. They feel that the words of such a dishonest villain are not worthy of belief at all. Especially the fans of Bangtan themselves, they simply hate Wu to their core.
The two sides quarreled endlessly, and the public reputation of BTS, which was originally only a second- and third-tier boy group, was greatly affected. It was a bit similar to Tara before. Although the company completely rejected all Wu's remarks, it also announced that it would continue to act as a six-member group in the future. , but no matter what, it is definitely not as good as before.
Since then, Wu has not said anything online. It is said that he has joined a group to film a movie.
It's still early for the court to pronounce its verdict, so this matter will come to an end in the short term.
As for whether there is bullying, Chi Jingyuan is not sure, but judging from his own experience, there may be some exclusion or small group behavior in their team. After all, he has only been in the team for a short time, and he is the only one who is a member of the team. nationality.
But any combination of this behavior is common and is not a big deal, nor does it rise to the level of bullying.
I can only say that it was really unlucky to meet Wu.
After watching and chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan clicked on YouTube again. The popularity of his "dope" direct-shot has dropped a lot. The current number of hits has stopped at 15 million, and the growth has slowed down significantly. It will only take time. Accumulate slowly, or wait for new rice to be added.
Because of the huge popularity and popularity of his pen-and-video shots, which have had a lot of beneficial effects, countless companies and idols in the industry, including SM itself, have followed suit. Since June, the number of candid shots uploaded to the entire YouTube channel has increased exponentially. increase.
Some artists don't even care if it's a formal stage or not. As long as it's a performance, people will take a direct shot and upload it to YouTube. It doesn't cost anything anyway, just in case it becomes as popular as Chi Jingyuan.
However, so far, the click volume of most artists' direct shots has been average without any signs of becoming popular.
In this case, let alone 10 million clicks, even 1 million is a difficult number to reach. Even among the members of Team K on the same stage, apart from himself, there are only two people who performed "dope" Direct shooting took advantage of the previous east wind to reach one million.
And Chi Jingyuan's 15 million hits were completely broken, which was enough for them to chase for several years.
While watching, he suddenly saw the title of a video and couldn't help but click on it.
This is a fan’s fan photo of the recording of SBS’s “Inkigayo” on June 22.
The current MCs of "Inkigayo" are Hwang Kwang Hee, Lee Yoo Bi, EXO's Kim Jun Myun and Byun Baek Hyun.
The other two people in the video are not there. Kim Junmyun and Byun Baekhyun are on the stage smiling and reciting the host words facing the audience below. However, many fans below are holding a banner that they don’t know how to get in, and at the same time they are rushing. Baekhyun kept shouting loudly.
What is written on the banner and what is shouted are the same word:
"traitor!"
Harsh shouts continued, and the fans were very excited waving banners in their hands.
Judging from their looks, these people must have all been fans who supported Baekhyun before.
On the stage, EXO's two faces were obviously a little stiff, especially Baekhyun's expression. You could see the change in his face at a glance, and his expression suddenly darkened a lot.
The video ended here, and the plane was about to arrive. Chi Jingyuan put away his phone and sighed, feeling a little puzzled.
How did he come up with the words "I won't fall in love before I'm 35"...
…
Bian Baekhyun's relationship does not seem to have a great impact on Xia's fans in mainland China.
In other words, many fans here focused their fire on Kim Ji-sook, and ignored Byun Baek-hyun through self-deception.
The concert on the 28th was held at the Olympic Sports Center in Shancheng City. The whole process went smoothly and ended perfectly.
After the concert, all the members returned to the hotel. They had a brief meeting with their manager and then announced the disbandment. Some members stayed in the room doing their own things, while others ran around and walked around.
Chi Jingyuan walked out of the hotel alone and was going to have something to eat.
When he checked into the hotel, he remembered seeing a Malatang nearby on the bus. He saw many people queuing and the business was very good. He guessed that the taste should be quite authentic.
He had eaten Malatang a few times in Seoul, but it had obviously been improved and couldn't taste like Sanseong, so it was quite boring.
He remembered it in his mind at that time. He happened to have time at this moment, and he happened to be hungry.
He just asked Oh Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo to come together, but one of them called the female lead, and the other said that he was not hungry and wanted to read the script.
Yes, you can’t blame others for your lack of luck.
Chi Jingyuan was wearing a camouflage two-piece suit and carrying a bag and came to the door of this 'Authentic Mountain City Malatang' alone. It was already late and there were still a few people queuing up. The business was really booming.
He looked around outside, picked up his phone, took a photo of the store and the sign, and sent it to Zhou Ziyu.
He remembered that Zhou Ziyu seemed to have said that he liked to eat stinky tofu during a casual chat before, and Malatang was also okay.
After sending it, Chi Jingyuan went in and started queuing. Just after queuing for a while, his phone vibrated and a reply came back.
"Wow, I really want to eat it too. Are you in the mountain city now?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at it, smiled and tapped the screen quickly, and replied: "If you can't eat it, just hold it in. I won't tell you."
Putting down his phone, he glanced at the dishes placed in the cupboard not far away. The colors were very good and they looked quite fresh. It seemed that he was getting hungrier and hungrier.
When he was about to arrive in line, his phone vibrated again. He took it out and saw that this time Zhou Ziyu did not reply to the text, but directly sent a selfie.
In the photo, she is applying a facial mask. It is probably the one her mother bought for her and said it has a good whitening effect.
Although the mask covered most of her face, it could be seen that she was grimacing, looking at the camera with her nose wrinkled and her mouth slightly pursed. She also wore a very conspicuous light blue sparkling diamond headband on her long black hair. .
This was the birthday gift Chi Jingyuan gave her last time. It was not expensive but not cheap either. She was still wearing it in the dormitory so late. It seemed that Zhou Ziyu really liked it.
At this time, the queue reached Chi Jingyuan. He looked at the photo and smiled, then put his phone in his pocket without replying. He took a frame and started choosing dishes.
A few minutes later, Chi Jingyuan left the restaurant and walked toward the hotel with a plastic bag containing several packed lunch boxes.
He was still soft-hearted and brought two more portions back for them to try.
Although it has entered summer, the temperature is no longer as hot as it is during the day when it is close to the early morning. From time to time, a cool evening breeze blows to make people feel refreshed. Walking on the sidewalk, I look at the trees planted regularly on the road, and The familiar characters and signboards on the storefronts on both sides made Chi Jingyuan suddenly feel like he was back when he was a child and went to school in Xia Kingdom.
When he was about to reach the hotel, a figure suddenly emerged from under the tree in front and walked towards Chi Jingyuan. Under the light, there was only a middle-aged man in his thirties. From the look of him, he seemed to have been waiting. After a while, Chi Jingyuan was waiting specifically.
"Hello, hello, this is Chi Jingyuan, I am..." The man came up and greeted with a smile, while reaching into his suit as if to take out his business card, but he was interrupted by Chi Jingyuan before he finished speaking. .
"Which company do you work for?"
