"How to open it?"
His face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and in addition, Zhou Ziyu's eyes looked over with some obvious complaints.
The first two times I asked her, she was too embarrassed to speak and kept silent because she didn't know how to speak. You couldn't tell but she kept asking.
Why is this car just like yours? It looks nice, but it's so annoying. Why do you want so much trouble? The door doesn't look good, and the windows don't open well.
Feeling Chi Jingyuan's inexplicable gaze, which made her irritated and irritable, Zhou Ziyu simply turned her head away from him, and turned her head to the side with her lips pursed.
"..."
Alas, Chi Jingyuan sighed secretly. When he got in the car, he thought the girl was a little more skilled, but it turned out to be just an illusion.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood and under a lot of pressure these past two days, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he swallowed what he wanted to blurt out just now as a reflex, some of which might hurt Zhou Ziyu's little self-esteem. To be honest, I pressed my left hand on the center control of the door, and the window that was closed by the passenger seat was also opened.
Even though she was very dissatisfied at this moment, Zhou Ziyu's attention could not help but be attracted to it. Her eyes and little head could not help but follow the opening of the glass and moved down slowly in synchronization with her gently bulging cheeks. The time disappeared.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this action. The little girl still likes to lose her temper.
He didn't open the window on Zhou Ziyu's side too big, so he opened a gap of about ten centimeters. Then he turned down the air conditioner that was on before but didn't close it completely, and then turned on his own side. After the small gap, he stopped moving and immediately stopped talking. He glanced at Zhou Ziyu who turned his head and started to concentrate on driving.
After entering June, the temperature has been getting higher and higher recently, but it has become a lot cooler in the middle of the night. After the windows are opened, the cool evening breeze seems to have found its home, and immediately flows happily through the gaps. Come in, and in addition to the whistling sound of the wind, there is also a comfortable and vivid vividness.
It may not be as cool as the air conditioner when the car was sealed before, but the moment the night breeze brushes against the cheeks, it seems to blow away the depression in the heart. Unexpectedly, it can make people put away their worries and calm down, and they relax unconsciously. Come down.
After a period of waiting at red lights, traffic jams and other unsmooth stops and starts, Chi Jingyuan soon drove the car from the still crowded main road in the city to the bridge, then accelerated the car and started heading towards The outer ring road with little traffic passed quickly.
If you are going for a drive to relax, it is better to drive a little faster.
After opening the window, Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu became very quiet at the same time in a tacit understanding. Apart from the engine, the only sound in the car could be heard was the wind whistling in their ears, and occasionally some humming. The crisp sounds of whistles and brakes are embellished.
When he started to accelerate on the bridge, Chi Jingyuan inadvertently glanced to the side, and out of the corner of his eye he could see Zhou Ziyu at this time.
She was sitting there quietly at the moment, with her perfectly tight legs pressed together in an orderly manner, and her waist straight, as if someone was supervising her.
She leaned slightly toward the window, her right hand resting on the car door to support her chin. Her slightly round face was squeezed together, and her mouth was slightly pursed. Her face looked so soft that you wanted to pinch it. Bundle.
The increasingly fierce evening wind roared in from outside, blowing her long brown hair wildly. From time to time, a few naughty hair strands were lifted up and slapped on her face, but she seemed not to be affected by the wind and hair. Still maintaining that action, he looked at the scenery outside the window calmly and quietly.
The wind was noisy, but the people were quiet. Some contradictory atmospheres were intertwined and blended around her body, but they were not awkward. On the contrary, they were extremely harmonious, making her look more mature at this time, even though the golden retriever head on her chest was still childish. , but it did not reduce the contrasting charm that suddenly appeared and made people's hearts move.
Because of the angle, Chi Jingyuan did not see her eyes, nor did he see her eyes looking out the window. The focus was not clear at the moment, but rather blurry.
I don’t know what Zhou Ziyu is looking at at this time, whether it is the dreamy night view of Seoul in the distance, or the glorious Seongsu Bridge standing not far away, or maybe he is just looking at the ordinary street lights passing quickly outside and the few people being passed. A passing car.
Or maybe they are not looking at anything, but thinking about what is on their mind and the people next to them.
It's just that the lights in the bridge reflected in her eyes, making little starry yellow ripples.
After a while, she may feel that the depression and annoyance in her heart have been blown away by the wind, or she may just be a little tired after holding one movement for too long. After reacting, she raised her head and shook it, and then changed He sat in a sitting position and looked towards Chi Jingyuan at the same time.
"Where are we?"
She seemed to finally realize that the scenery outside was very strange. She had never seen or been to this place before, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
However, she seemed to be just curious, but she was not at all uneasy or afraid of being in an unknown and unfamiliar environment. It was obvious that her trust in Chi Jingyuan was deeply ingrained.
“Seoul outer ring.”
Chi Jingyuan replied. He glanced at Zhou Ziyu. Although the girl didn't have any worries, he still added: "We are already walking back. We are not very far from Jiangbei now. We will be there soon." I can go back to the city."
"profound."
Zhou Ziyu responded, her tone still so obedient.
After pausing for a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan looked at the road ahead and said casually: "Are you feeling better?"
"Well, I feel a lot more relaxed after blowing in the wind." She looked at Chi Jingyuan's side face and nodded, smiling sheepishly: "This method is indeed very effective."
"Why are you laughing? Don't think that I can come out and be your coachman next time."
Directly and resolutely blocking the future passage, Chi Jingyuan did not look at Zhou Ziyu who curled his lips slightly after hearing this. He softened his tone and continued: "Although I haven't watched your show recently, I remember your vote. Hasn’t the popularity been number one among everyone since some time ago?”
"Um."
When Zhou Ziyu mentioned this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and his mood seemed to suddenly improve a lot, but he still pursed his lips and nodded reservedly.
In the first few issues of "Sixteen", she was just a transparent person with a pure border. Especially in the first issue, there was not even a frontal close-up in the whole process, and all the scenes that appeared were used as backgrounds in other people's shots.
At that time, Chi Jingyuan also teased, "Why didn't I see you? Did you participate or not?" This girl felt very frustrated and sulky.
However, as the second issue of the pictorial showed off her figure, appearance and talent, and gained some attention, Zhou Ziyu's situation began to slowly change, especially in the third issue because of Chi Jingyuan's The biased choice was even on the hot search at the time, causing a lot of discussion, thus giving her a considerable degree of exposure.
Then she started an unexpected journey that was almost cheating. She didn't appear much, and she didn't have many close-up interviews, but her votes kept rising. Some time ago, she went directly to all the trainees. The first place in the voting was surpassed by the members supported by JYP with nearly 10% of the votes. Before the recording of the program, it was basically confirmed that the debut God Chosen Lin Nayeon was one of them.
From a player who was completely disliked by JYP and was not optimistic about her debut, she became the most popular among all the trainees with only a few scenes and poor shots. This girl's growth trajectory It’s also really unpredictable.
Unfortunately, according to Chi Jingyuan's understanding, the audience vote is only a reference for whether the show "Sixteen" can debut, and it does not even have a large weight. After all, it is JYP and Park Jin Young who have the final say.
But I heard from Zhou Zi that her scenes seem to have increased a lot in recent issues...
This is actually the most important thing.
Glancing at Zhou Ziyu who started to hold back her laughter after mentioning the popularity vote, her mood obviously improved a lot, Chi Jingyuan shook his head slightly and continued: "And I remember you were on a hot search just two days ago. Well, when it came to opening baseball, No. 7 or No. 8 came."
Chi Jingyuan saw this news when he was reading the news a few days ago. JYP probably got them a baseball opening resource to promote "Sixteen". This girl's kicking posture and movements may also be because of her long hair. It had to look good. After the event, even though there was no program or broadcast, it still became a hot topic based on Reuters photos and publicity. Several photos of wearing baseball caps and uniforms were reposted by some media and were picked up by many viewers. Pay attention to fans and leave comments and compliments.
Although it is not actually a very popular news, among the several trainees who played together, she is the only one who has been trending. It is very rare to put it away.
And this is already her second hot search in the past month except for the third episode. When it comes to this kind of unexpected exposure, it is estimated that the only one in the entire "Sixteen" who has the honor to be a friend of Ali is Lin Nalian. Can be compared with her.
"Well, No. 7...hehehehe."
Another thing was mentioned that made Zhou Ziyu excited and proud. The girl who had been pretending to be reserved just now couldn't hold back her laughter. She first said the date happily, and after holding it in for two seconds, she opened her mouth. Hey, he rolled his eyes and smiled brightly, his eyebrows full of lively smiles.
She couldn't help but laugh a few times. She looked over and blinked, with an obvious grin on her lips: "Did you see it too?"
Chi Jingyuan heard it, her subtext was 'Do you think it looks good? '
"Okay."
Chi Jingyuan understood, but was not as proud as she was: "The photographer is very good."
"snort."
Zhou Ziyu was a little dissatisfied and snorted.
"So you are now number one in the voting and receiving a lot of attention. Why do you have to put so much pressure on yourself and make yourself uncomfortable?"
Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her: "If you are so worried and afraid, aren't the other people who have always been at the bottom of the popularity crying in their quilts every day?"
After listening to Chi Jingyuan's words, Zhou Ziyu's smile dimmed a little, as if she wanted to refute him but didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she could only pouted slightly, with a stubborn and insistent expression: "That's right. It happens sometimes, and now the pressure is getting bigger and bigger..."
"And it is true that many people often cry at night, and some people can even wipe their tears twice during practice... I am the same sometimes, I can't control my emotions at all..."
Okay, Chi Jingyuan could understand the little girl's worries. When he saw Zhou Ziyu who was finally in a cheerful mood, he stopped delving into this matter and directly talked about something else: "I was too busy the past few days and didn't ask, you guys "sixteen" "Where did you film it? What's the title now?"
"The sixth episode will be released today, and we have already filmed the seventh episode."
"It's so slow. I remember didn't we shoot two or three episodes in advance before it started airing?"
"Well, the filming has been getting slower and slower recently. It is said that it is because..." She glanced at Chi Jingyuan, paused and then continued: "Because the third episode has increased the ratings and popularity of the show a lot. Now the company also attaches great importance to the audience's reaction after each broadcast. I also heard from the director that the company is not going to continue recording and broadcasting in the last episode when the group formation and debut spots are officially announced, and they want to make it a live broadcast. "
】
"Live broadcast?" Chi Jingyuan nodded to express understanding. If there is enough attention and publicity, this method can indeed increase the popularity a lot: "What's the current topic?"
“The title of this issue is group guerrilla performance, which means we go to the streets and try every means to mobilize passers-by and tourists so that they come to watch our performance. In the end, we will see who mobilizes the most people, and then we will make a comprehensive score together with the performance on the stage. The major group and the minor group." Zhou Ziyu seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't understand, so she explained it in detail.
"..." Although he felt the girl's kindness, Chi Jingyuan still glanced at her angrily.
Do you need to explain to me what guerrilla performance means? Do you think I'm the new guy?
"When will we mobilize on the streets and start performing?"
"Tomorrow!" Zhou Ziyu looked a little excited and looking forward to it.
"It's a pity. If I don't have to fly around tomorrow, I might be able to support you if I have time." Chi Jingyuan shrugged, seeming a little regretful.
Of course I am saying this to coax children, because it is impossible. In that kind of situation, there are people all around and standing very close to each other. Even though many people wear masks when going out due to recent events, it is really difficult to guarantee that they will not wear masks when going out. Being recognized would easily cause unnecessary trouble, and it would probably not be an encouragement to Zhou Ziyu.
"Um."
Although it was to coax the child, the effect seemed good. The child obviously believed it and nodded with regret, making Chi Jingyuan laugh in his heart.
Now that we have returned to the urban area, there are more and more vehicles on the road, and the frequency of horns and engine sounds has become much higher.
Chi Jingyuan closed the windows on both sides a little, and then asked with some concern: "Who are you grouped with?"
The grouping of this kind of guerrilla performance is very critical. If the people in the group are strong and popular, then the chance of winning will naturally be much higher. Sometimes strength is no longer important. A few strong and popular backers form a team. Even if the stage performance is good, the chance of being eliminated is still very high, it's just so unfair.
Hearing this question, Zhou Ziyu hesitated for a moment, her voice was broken, and her tone was a little strange: "He, sister Yu Dingyan, there is still... Lin Nalian."
"..."
Hearing this tone, Chi Jingyuan, who was just waiting for the car to stop at the red light, turned to look at her: "What, are they bullying you?"
"No."
Zhou Ziyu waved her hands quickly, and then said with some memories: "In the past one or two years when I was a trainee, I was actually very unfamiliar. When I first participated in the show, I was not very familiar with it, and there was very little communication... But the few times before After being divided into groups, we lived in the same dormitory for a long time, and we have had a lot more contact with them recently. Now that we are familiar with them, I found that they actually have quite good personalities."
"Um."
"As for Sister Yu Dingyan, although she is sometimes out of touch and likes to tease people, she is actually a very attentive sister... She seems to know you too."
"Yes, her sister Kong Shengyan and I are friends. I have met her twice before. You have met her too, haven't you? I remember we met her by chance when we were having dinner before." Chi Jingyuan nodded in confirmation.
"Is that so? I forgot...she has a very good personality. Whether we lived together before or are now in a group, she always takes good care of me."
"Then?"
"Then there's Lin Nalian... She actually has a pretty good personality. She likes to laugh. Sometimes she's very serious and sometimes she's very childish. That's it..."
At this point, Zhou Ziyu hesitated, looking as if he didn't know whether to continue.
"that is?"
When the light turned green, Chi Jingyuan looked away, started the car, and echoed her.
"Although it's pretty good, it's just..." After hesitating for a few times, she finally said it. As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Chi Jingyuan's face, as if she was afraid that he would be angry: "It's because of that time that she Recording, you chose me...so now I sometimes like to say bad things about you...actually it's not bad words anymore, it's just...I don't know how to say it."
"Anti-fans?"
After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan probably understood what Zhou Ziyu meant and casually said it for her.
"Yes!" She nodded immediately, indicating that the word was very appropriate: "That's what it means. Although she deliberately avoided me when she said it, I still heard it a few times."
As she spoke, she seemed to recall a certain scene and certain words. She frowned and pursed her lips a little. There was an expression of dissatisfaction on her face. She looked at the road in front of the windshield with a very serious expression: "Although She has a good personality, but I don’t like what she looks like or what she says..."
"So, I haven't been able to get close to each other, and I don't want to get familiar..."
"ha……"
Hearing Zhou Ziyu's tone, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look sideways, looking at her serious face and serious eyes. For some reason, he always felt that this expression didn't match the impression she gave him. It was a little funny. feel.
He couldn't help laughing, shook his head, glanced at Zhou Ziyu, and said somewhat funny: "Are you trying to stand up for me? You don't think I need you to rectify my injustice, do you?"
The tone was playful and lazy, and it sounded like he didn't care about Zhou Ziyu's defense at all.
However, when Zhou Ziyu heard what he said and looked over a little aggrieved and angry, he only saw Chi Jingyuan with his hands on the steering wheel and his head slightly tilted, but the smile he just smiled suddenly stopped. , leaving only a slight curvature at the corner of the mouth.
He looked at the traffic and road ahead, his eyes clear, his tone gentle, and he softly said:
"But... thanks."
