Chi Jingyuan gave up the idea of shutting down the phone directly. After sending the text message, he put the phone next to him and waited for a while. At the same time, the new phone started to ring non-stop. He just sent it to those relatives and friends. Many people have responded to the text message about changing numbers:
"Why did you change your number all of a sudden? Don't you use the previous one?"
"Okay, I've saved it. I'll have time to go out for dinner in two days."
"Were you the first one to tell me?"
Most of them asked about the reason why Chi Jingyuan suddenly changed his phone number. He didn't go into details. He picked a few and responded casually.
After replying a few messages, the phone next to him started vibrating again. He picked it up and saw that there was a reply to the message he had just sent:
"So...are you really Yuan Oppa?"
"I have ins, the number is xxxxxx...but no one pays attention..."
After posting two messages in a row, Chi Jingyuan glanced at them, picked up the phone with the changed number, logged into his ins, and started checking the number sent by the fan.
"Are you really Yuan Oppa? I really can't believe it. Please don't make such a joke..."
During the operation, the other party immediately sent a message. He was obviously very surprised at this time, and his tone did not quite believe what Chi Jingyuan said, but it obviously also contained deep expectations.
However, Chi Jingyuan did not continue to reply. He had already searched for the number sent by the other party on Instagram and clicked on it to read the information.
“seo yeon”
I recited my name silently, and it translated into text as Ruiyan. It is a very common female name. The rate of duplication of names in Peninsula is very high, and directly using your name as an Instagram ID is not in line with the trend of young people nowadays.
】
As ordinary as the name, it is this Instagram account. It has spanned nearly two years since the first picture was uploaded. However, the number of followers of less than ten seems extremely pitiful. It has not been updated at all in recent months. It seems that I have given up on using this kind of social platform with photos.
At the beginning, this fan also uploaded a few selfies. Although the lighting was very dim and the angle and blocked hairstyle were a bit unconventional, Chi Jingyuan flipped through a few photos and felt that they did not express her own appearance. very ugly'.
The eyes are a bit small, the face is a bit chubby, and the expression doesn't look very confident.
Neither beautiful nor ugly, just at the level of ordinary people.
But there are not so many handsome guys and beauties, and there are not so many beautiful fans at all. It is these relatively ordinary and ordinary girls who make up the vast majority of his and their exo fan base.
They may not have that pleasing appearance, but their support and love for their idols is no less than that of others, or even more so.
Chi Jingyuan's eyesight was also very clear, nothing strange.
“Ins private message.”
After clicking follow, he sent one last message on his mobile phone, and then sent a smiley emoticon to the other party through a private message, and then started waiting.
At this time, get out of class had just ended and Li Ruiyan, who was sitting alone in her seat in the classroom and operating her cell phone, also received this text message. She was suddenly stunned for a moment, and she felt a little nervous. The heartbeat suddenly reached the extreme speed, and it seemed to be jumping out. I thought of some possibility, and even my fingers began to tremble as the blood surged.
She quickly opened Instagram, which she hadn't logged into for a long time. Even just a few seconds of reading and loading made her feel a little bored.
After logging into the account, I was a little afraid to click on the newly added private message. I hesitated for a second before clicking hard. After entering, I immediately saw the smiling emoticon sent by the other party.
But that's not the point. Li Ruiyan instantly saw the other party's big round-faced Doreemon avatar, as well as the very famous 'thy.' ID.
But these may all be counterfeit, after all, Chi Jingyuan’s ins account is very famous.
She just trembled and clicked on the other party's avatar to enter the homepage. After seeing the other party's nearly 17 million fans, Li Ruiyan was stunned. Although her thoughts were verified and her fantasy was not disappointed, After she was really sure that the person she was talking to was the idol she admired and hoped for the most, she suddenly didn't know what to say, and her whole body felt a little stiff, as if she was in a dream.
After staying there for a while, she felt excited, but she reopened the private message interface with some trepidation. She was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say.
When she was unsure of the identity of the other party before, although she was a little timid, she was still able to communicate and apologize calmly. However, now when facing a person who has always been high in her heart and who is not a world at all, or a 'light', The inferiority complex and cowardice that had always been hidden in her heart made her seem to have lost the ability to communicate.
"Aniu, is your name Ruiyan? How did you know my previous phone number?"
However, the other party seemed to understand and thought of her emotions at this time. After sending her expression and waiting for a while, she took the initiative to ask again.
Seeing the newly received message, Li Ruiyan took a deep breath, raised her head and glanced at the classmates chatting with each other with strange eyes, and then began to reply as quickly as possible, as if the other party was about to leave in the next second. of.
"Anihasay! Yes, yes Oppa, my name is Li Ruiyan!"
"I saw this from a post on a music forum, which is not a platform with many users. A few days ago, someone posted that they knew your phone number, and it was very accurate. There was also a message below saying that they called specifically to confirm the sound. You... After I saw that, even though I didn’t really believe it, I tried to send a text message, but I didn’t expect it was really you, Oppa... I’m very sorry for the burden I caused you.”
After typing a long paragraph and sending it, Li Ruiyan stared at the screen tightly, feeling very embarrassed. This was the first time she had real contact with the idol on the screen. It was not like doing a show, but in private. Interaction, she was really worried that the conversation with her idol would only be such a short back-and-forth.
This time, Chi Jingyuan, who was opposite her, seemed to be reading her reply carefully, or maybe thinking about something. There was no reply for a minute or two, which made Li Ruiyan even more uneasy.
After two or three minutes, the phone that was staring at him suddenly started to vibrate. When he opened it, he saw a large paragraph of densely packed text. Li Ruiyan pursed her lips and read it silently seriously.
"So that's it, I told you what happened. It's indeed a bit burdensome, but I have already changed my number..."
"I see in the messages you've posted these days, your situation isn't very good, is it... I quite understand. This kind of thing is actually quite common. The feeling of being isolated and excluded is really uncomfortable. Let's talk about it. You may not believe it. In fact, I was ostracized by others when I was in school (wink). They may have thought that I didn’t like my looks... When Ami was in school, I also encountered some people because of my Asian identity. .”
"But to be honest, these didn't cause me much trouble. Maybe it's because I have more ideas. There are many reasons for being excluded and isolated. Sometimes it's because the surrounding environment is not very good and the contact Some people are more exaggerated... But sometimes it may be that you haven’t met a friend you get along with, or you have met one, but you didn’t take the initiative to get in touch with this friendship because you were not confident or for some reason.”
"Ruiyan, you said that many of your classmates and people you come into contact with are Aili, right... In this case, give me your address. We have no local concerts recently and can't give away tickets, but I will give you tickets in a few days. I can give you a few copies of the regular second album that will be released early next month. If you want anyone’s autograph, I’ll get it for you. It’s no problem if all the members are together. You can try to share it with others. Make friends who share the same interests."
"Or when we hold a local performance or showcase next time, I will give you some front-row tickets. You can go find your friends and tell them, 'Do you want to go to EXO's concert with me?'"
"Although it may be a bit shameless to say this, xo's popularity is quite good now. I think it should be able to play a small role."
"Hey Yigu, I haven't typed so much for a long time. My hands may be a little sore from lack of exercise recently. The agent over there is calling me, and I may have to go to work soon. Be sure to send me your address. The more detailed kind.”
"...Finally, don't worry, it will get better (touching head)."
As I thought about it, I didn't know why the previous strong excitement and anxiety slowly calmed down, and I was no longer as confused as before, as if I was about to have a conversation with the gods.
But as Li Ruiyan watched, the tears in her eyes started to flow down at some point. She tightly held her mouth tightly without saying a word, but her tears were like a river that burst its banks and she couldn't control it at all.
At the end, looking at Chi Jingyuan's last sentence and the very close "touching the head" expression, she was stunned for a long time, crying with laughter, and couldn't help herself.
…………
Hearing the agent's greeting over there, Chi Jingyuan put down his phone and flexed his fingers.
This kind of fan who was in a bad life situation and was being excluded and bullied was treated as the pillar of his life without his knowing it. This feeling honestly did not bring any sense of accomplishment to Chi Jingyuan. Instead, it was a burden, so heavy that it made him feel uncomfortable.
And there are too many such situations. It is very common on the peninsula campus itself, and it is also common in other places. There is actually nothing he can do about this kind of thing.
But since I saw it by chance, Chi Jingyuan did not hesitate to do some small help to this fan. Giving away albums and tickets is all OK and the most appropriate method.
Because whether it is to ignore it completely as if you don’t see it, or to intervene too deeply and help too much, it is actually not very appropriate.
I just hope these things can have some effect...
After waiting for a minute and not seeing the address sent by the other party, Chi Jingyuan put away all his mobile phones, picked up his bag and walked out. After greeting his manager and members, he started his work schedule today.
But he didn't know that within a minute of following Li Ruiyan on his Instagram, it had already been noticed by many fans who followed him on his Instagram every day.
There are only a few people following Ji Kyung Won on Instagram, and there are also very few artists in the industry. Red Velvet does not have a personal account, and Girls’ Generation only follows Kim Taeyeon, and he doesn’t even follow anyone from EXO. All attention.
The last new target of attention was Peninsula Gucci. At that time, this incident caused a lot of discussion. Many people imagined and predicted that Chi Jingyuan might have any cooperation with Gucci in the future, which surprised fans for a while. .
Today, a name that they had never heard of was suddenly added to Chi Jingyuan's already small follow-up list. Some fans clicked on it and found that it was a completely amateur account, with no connection with EXO at all. Suddenly, It left them confused.
When some fans curiously began to find out what was strange about this amateur account, EXO arrived at the gymnastics arena after two trips.
Today, they will be guests at the Seoul concert of TVXQ, the company's seniors, and there will be a special stage for collaboration.
I have already practiced at the company before, so now that I am familiar with the process and positions of the rehearsal, it will be no problem. After smiling and saying hello to TVXQ and their manager, Chi Jingyuan followed a few members. I sat in the audience and watched the rehearsal of these two seniors.
I have to say that seniors are seniors. TVXQ debuted more than ten years ago and are still very popular to this day. Although the local momentum in the peninsula may not be as strong as the newcomers who have emerged in recent years, they are still one of the best in the neon market. They tour every year They are also very popular and hard to get a ticket for.
Even if there are only two people left, it will not affect the activity and enthusiasm of the group, especially the stage design is more careful.
Looking at the two seniors who were rehearsing very seriously, Chi Jingyuan felt a little emotional. It can be said that EXO has no shortcomings in all aspects now. The four lead singers are luxurious in a boy band, and the level of the main dancers is also very good. Excellent, and the most important aspect for idols is their appearance. Many fans and netizens have rated EXO as the boy group with the highest average appearance in history when making comments online.
Not only fans say this, many passers-by also agree with this conclusion, and even some black fans can't say anything to refute it.
All aspects are great, except for the live stage effects. Chi Jingyuan feels that there is always something wrong with them and they have not done their best.
Compared with TVXQ on stage, there is still some gap.
But speaking of the other three members of JYJ who left the team, each has developed better than the other. The original configuration of TVXQ was really strong enough.
While watching the rehearsal, his phone, which he had muted, was vibrating non-stop. Many friends who knew he had changed his number sent text messages one after another. For example, Zhou Ziyu also knew the reason why he suddenly lost contact two days ago. .
After learning that her number had been exposed, she expressed some concern at first, understood that nothing was wrong and immediately revealed her true nature after changing her number, and gloated a little.
Bae Zhuhyun sent a special message to ask about the situation, and secretly told Chi Jingyuan that when he sent the group text message, the five people from red velvet happened to have breakfast together. In the end, only three people received the new number, and the other two After knowing this, each member's expression suddenly became a little ugly.
Chi Jingyuan could only express helplessness at this and lamented that it was such a coincidence. Although they were both in the same company and in the same group, in the end the relationship was still close but distant.
On the way, he also received the address sent by Li Ruiyan, as well as a series of very long letters of thanks and touching. The confusing sentence structure and some fragmentary wording made it a little awkward, but to a certain extent, it highlighted the The most sincere and turbulent feelings of the other party.
After reading it carefully, Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, but just said "fighting".
He saved the other party's address. Now EXO's regular second album will not be released for nearly half a month. He was a little worried that he would forget it and wrote it in the memo.
He is not ready to let Park Jae-hyun do it for him right now. If he is free then, he is going to mail the album or tickets himself.
Maybe it was because he solved the problem of having his number exposed, or maybe he was giving a little help to a fan who was extremely supportive of him. Chi Jingyuan was in a good mood all day long from the morning, and EXO left after performing the special stage in the evening. After arriving at the venue and running two more trips, everyone returned to the company.
"I've told you before that you know you have a holiday tomorrow, right?"
"Ooooooh!"
In the practice room, after manager Lee Seung-hwan made the announcement, everyone immediately started to howl with excitement. For example, Byun Baekhyun started to play the role of a gorilla, hitting his mouth with his hands continuously to make a howling sound. The excitement was palpable.
No matter how short the vacation is, it's always nice to have some time off.
"I don't care what you want to do, just remember not to do anything you shouldn't do. You have to go back to the dormitory before twelve o'clock in the evening, and you have to shoot a commercial tomorrow morning..."
EXO is no longer a group that requires high-pressure management and has to report wherever they go. Nowadays, the company basically doesn't care about their private life. As long as they don't break the rules, do something bad, and are discovered, then it's OK.
Due to excessive survival and work pressure, as well as the unconditional pursuit of fans, many artists on the peninsula have a superior and misunderstood self-perception and positioning, which has resulted in many celebrities' private behaviors and hobbies being compared to others. Ordinary people are a little bit crazy.
Whether it's an artist or a company, they are already used to it.
"Do you remember everything?"
"knew!"
"Okay, let's break up then..." Li Chenghuan looked at the group of children having fun and smiled knowingly. After clapping his hands, he called Chi Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, come with me."
"Okay." Chi Jingyuan responded, stood up and followed. At the same time, he shrugged to Wu Shixun, who had just stopped him and was about to call him if something happened, and followed Li Chenghuan out.
The two chatted casually and walked all the way to Li Chenghuan's office. After Li Chenghuan received two drinks, he took out a document and handed it to Chi Jingyuan.
Chi Jingyuan opened it, took a look at the title and summary, and asked casually:
"Variety show?"
