"oh?"
Hearing Pei Zhuxuan suddenly mention this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Why do you say that? With whom? It can't be Lu Xingcai, right?"
Park Soo-young has been filming "We Got Married" with Yook Sung-jae for a long time. The response and popularity of the program are also very good, so Ji Kyung-won immediately thinks of these two people.
"I don't know who it is with specifically, and she won't take the initiative to say it..."
When talking about her family member's suspected love affair, her tone was inexplicably different from what happened just now: "But I guess it's also Yook Sungjae. She often calls at night recently, and the frequency of her mobile phone use is much higher than before. Whenever I answer the phone, I will quietly observe the movements and expressions of other members and managers..."
"And she hasn't mentioned much about the filming of "My Knot" or Yook Sungjae recently. I remember the few months when the show first started filming. After she came back, she would often discuss with the members how the filming went. She expressed her opinions about her collaborators, complained about the program team, etc., but now she doesn’t talk about it at all. Even if she takes the initiative to ask her, she doesn’t bother to say it. Anyway, it’s quite deliberate..."
Sometimes it’s hard to notice changes in people you meet every day and get along with every day, but Bae Joo Hyun is really attentive. She always keeps some of her members’ habits, hobbies and characteristics in mind and remembers them very clearly. What happened to Park Soo Young It didn’t take long to react to this subtle change.
"Listening to what you said, it seems like there's something wrong with it." Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment after hearing this and agreed with her.
Bae Joo Hyun then added, "Last month our other members also went to shoot the wedding special of her and Yook Sungjae's "I Got Married". That's when I noticed something was wrong."
"Except for you, did anyone else in Red Velvet see it?"
"Seungwan and Yelin don't know, but Seulgi should have noticed."
"She didn't say anything either?"
"No, just pretend like you didn't find anything."
"Haha, she still looks like that..."
Thinking of Jiang Seulqi's innocent face and pretending to be stupid, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, he said in a natural tone: "Although every filming of "We Got Married" was done in advance. I’ve got all the scripts, but anyway, male and female idols meet several times a week, and often make physical contact and intimate gestures. It’s actually quite normal to have a good impression. It’s not a big deal to fall in love..."
After Chi Jingyuan heard the gossip, he didn't have much reaction. Instead, he felt it was very normal.
Falling in love is so common in the entertainment industry. Many idols fall in love just by looking at each other while participating in shows. They feel uncomfortable if they don't fall in love. Many of them were trainees. We have been dating quite a lot, and after their debut was interrupted due to the restrictions of the company, they started dating again not long after their debut.
It took Park Sooyoung more than a year to make her debut, but she is already doing very well.
And he has no qualifications to say anything about others. He himself fell in love just a few months after debuting. Although the other members of EXO are a little later, they are actually similar. There are even a few professional players among them, as well as various seamless connections. , Chi Jingyuan has long been accustomed to this.
Bae Zhuhyun always feels a little more formal at this time.
"Yes, it's quite normal..."
After hearing what Chi Jingyuan said, the young lady repeated it, but her tone seemed a bit complicated: "It's just a relationship, it's really not a big deal... It's just..."
She has been debuting for more than a year and has met many people and knows many things. Of course, she understands that there is nothing wrong with what Chi Jingyuan said.
But her voice still got softer and softer, and in the end it was inaudible, almost like a whisper. It was not clear whether she was talking to Chi Jingyuan or to herself.
The young lady seemed to be mumbling to herself, but she also seemed to be hinting at something. Chi Jingyuan paused and seemed to understand something. He stood on the balcony with his mobile phone and listened to the sound of thorough breathing in his ears. , but did not speak.
The warm coat is wrapped around the body. It is soft and thick, giving people a feeling of warmth and security, but it is beyond the reach of the lower body, and the cold air keeps pecking at the legs.
The weather is not very good today, and the night is a bit overcast.
But when Chi Jingyuan looked up, the dark clouds were slowly dissipating, and the unclear moon behind the clouds was getting brighter.
"Shengwan probably needs to take a shower..."
After a moment of silence, Pei Zhuxuan's voice sounded again, sounding as if it had regained its previous brightness: "It's inconvenient to talk if she comes out... By the way, I saw a few very good people in the commercial street just this afternoon. Cute, very interesting souvenirs. I bought some for myself and a few for you... When are you free these two days?"
"When will you return to Seoul?" Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and looked at the ground and asked.
"Plane No. 6..."
"I know, I'll call you when the time comes."
After saying a few words at the end, he quickly ended the call. He didn't know whether it was because Sun Shengwan was about to come out after taking a shower, or because a certain topic just now made Bae Zhuhyun have some emotions.
Chi Jingyuan left the balcony and returned to the dormitory. The strong warmth immediately enveloped him. As he walked, he looked at the mobile phone in his hand. Thinking of the young lady's last tone on the phone just now, he couldn't help but have some other associations.
"Jingyuan..."
At this time, a loud roar came from the living room outside and woke him up. It was Jin Junmian's voice.
"Ah?" He replied quickly.
"What are you doing? I called you several times... Just order barbecue from the restaurant opposite us."
He went back to the bed and lay down, casually flipping through some delicious food photos that Pei Zhuxuan had just sent him. He burst out laughing while looking at them, and said to the outside:
"No problem, brother, hurry up, I'm starving!"
…………
Including TTS, the recent comebacks of several artists do not seem to have caused much repercussions. The hot searches on the Internet in the past two days are still MAMA from the previous two days. This year's MAMA has indeed created many classic shots, which has attracted many fans. Artists have more iconic scenes.
For example, Ji Kyung-won's ear removal and acceptance speech, Park Jin-young's piano playing, Jung Soo-jung's style and outfit, especially Jung Soo-jung at the end. Her makeup on this year's "4walls" stage was really amazing, which attracted many viewers. After watching it, I couldn’t help but admire it, not to mention the fans of FX. On the Internet, just like the Chinese New Year, all kinds of rainbow farts were flying all over the sky. At the same time, they left crazy messages calling SM to make FX come back as soon as possible.
The same is true for 2NE1 fans. They felt bright after seeing their group reunited. They thought this group was an excellent preview of a new start. They also called out YG, saying that the previous scandal was over and they would hurry up and release an album for 2NE1. Category.
Chi Jingyuan doesn’t know much about 2NE1, but he knows that FX is a bit awkward.
Two days passed by in a flash while running the schedule and practicing on the stage. On the evening of the 6th, in the alleyway near the red velvet dormitory in JB District, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the driver's seat of the car and looking at the materials handed out during today's meeting. The door handle of the passenger's door next to me was suddenly pulled open. As the cold wind poured in, a familiar scent of shampoo and freesia also came in. Then a petite figure bumped inside, and there was a slight squeak. After chanting, the car door closed with a bang, the cold air was blocked out, leaving only the fragrance lingering inside.
Bae Zhuhyun wore a dark long down jacket with the hem extending to her thighs. The fluffy brim of the hat drooped behind her back, looking a little lazy. She also wore a light-colored baseball cap on her head to disguise herself, and the golden color was still a little wet. The hair is covered in it.
Under the brim of the hat is a small face with lightly swept eyebrows. It is fresh and natural and looks very gentle, but paired with the big down jacket that wraps the whole person, it highlights a naive attitude.
This sister has a characteristic. Every time she doesn't wear makeup, or wears light makeup, she looks very young and younger, making it difficult for people to tell her true age.
This morning red velvet had returned to Seoul from Prague. Because they had made an appointment before, Chi Jingyuan drove to the vicinity of their dormitory alone in the evening and sent a text message to Bae Zhuhyun. The young lady who had already prepared it did not wait for a while. Just came down.
It was already close to early morning.
"Ah, it's so cold outside..." As soon as she came up, she sighed with a slight shiver, then put the bag in her hand next to her, took off her baseball cap and began to gently arrange her hair.
This is a handbag made of burlap, with abstract cartoon patterns printed on it. It looks very Nordic in style, and it contains a lot of stuff.
After the young lady got in the car, Chi Jingyuan kept blinking at her. After she made a sound, he stretched his hand sideways and placed it in front of her.
"..."
Pei Zhuxuan, who was stroking her hair, heard the movements of Chi Jingyuan's hands and immediately realized what he meant. With a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and put it on the back of his hand. The cold and warm touch made both of them feel excited. After a slight sway, she laughed out loud, glanced at Chi Jingyuan with arched eyebrows, took her hands away and continued to arrange her clothes and hair.
"You just arrived in Seoul today and you're so busy so late? Have you just returned to the dormitory?" Chi Jingyuan turned up the heat a little, then looked at him and asked.
You can feel it from the soft and cold hands of the little sister, it is indeed quite cold outside.
"Well, I have been practicing singing in the company just now. We were arranged to participate in the 'Winter Single' project. It will be released in two days. I have been practicing since I came back." Pei Zhuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, He nodded and said.
SM recently launched a winter special project and found three groups of artists to release three singles at the end of the year, and red velet is one of them.
"Oh, I made excuses and couldn't stay long. The members are all in the dormitory, so I have to go back soon, and there will be a recording of "Star King" early tomorrow morning..."
After saying a few words, Pei Zhuxuan quickly remembered the business. As she spoke, she picked up the linen bag placed next to her, opened it, and showed the pattern of the bag to Chi Jingyuan in a coquettish way: "Does it look good? "
"Quite good looking."
Looking at the exaggerated pattern, Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, although he didn't see what the pattern represented.
"Ha, I also saw this in that souvenir shop. I saw it right after I entered. Seulgi and Yelin both said it was very beautiful..." Bae Zhuhyun said in a cheerful tone, her little hand covering the button of the bag, her thumb With a little force, the bag was opened, and many things inside were immediately exposed.
She rummaged through the bag a little, and quickly took out some small items one by one, and showed it to Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "This is a bear coin purse, isn't it cute? And it's not expensive at all, it costs 119 kronor. , which is more than 10,000 won.”
This is a small wallet with a bear pattern. The expression and facial features are very naive. The material looks like it should be cowhide or something.
"This is a kitten with an extra long tail. It is a pendant. There is a hole in its tail and can be hung anywhere... This is a cartoon coaster. The paintings on it are very local. I heard that they are selling very well. , people who travel will buy some.”
"And this, do you think this button hairpin looks good?" The young lady turned over a small thing and her eyes lit up. She picked it up and displayed it on her hair, looking at Chi Jingyuan with her lips raised.
"Is this a gift for me too?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned.
"Haha, how could it be? This is for my own use. I don't know why it was put in my bag."
Pei Zhuxuan laughed when she heard this. She gave Chi Jingyuan a cute look, put the hairpin on her fair forehead twice and put it back. Then she quickly took out something that looked like a clock and said happily. He said: "This is a very famous local souvenir, the astronomical clock... We made special inquiries about it, and then went to Havel Market to buy it, because we heard that the quality there is the best and the prices are not expensive...
"There are several versions of astronomical clocks. The one I bought for you has a dial, a background, and a time chime in the upper right corner that can be rotated. It costs 5 euros each. I bought a small one myself, which costs 4 euros. You see. Let’s see how it goes…”
They are all very cheap things, not expensive. In fact, some of the distinctive Central European and even Nordic style patterns and patterns above also deviate somewhat from Chi Jingyuan's aesthetic.
But watching Pei Zhuxuan proudly show off her baby-like expression, bright smile, and skillful and enthusiastic introduction, he somehow became more comfortable with these gadgets.
And judging from the girl's curved eyebrows, it seems that she likes the process and feeling of buying gifts for Chi Jingyuan more than the small souvenirs themselves.
"It's quite interesting..." Chi Jingyuan laughed, leaned over and stretched out his hand to pick up a small gadget and look at it in his hand, looking very interested.
When Pei Zhuxuan saw his actions, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her smile became even more beautiful.
After discussing these gifts together for a while, the young lady put everything back, buttoned it up, lifted the entire bag and handed it to Chi Jingyuan: "Here you go."
"Well, thank you." Chi Jingyuan took it smoothly, but when he remembered what he just said, he stopped for a moment, looked at her and asked, "Didn't you say you like this bag very much? Did you give it to me directly?"
"Hee hee, I bought two, and there is another one that is exactly the same..." Pei Zhuxuan smiled proudly at him, and her little face, which had been slightly whitened by the cold wind, was now stained with a layer of blush.
After giving the gift he bought to Chi Jingyuan, the purpose of the two people's meeting was achieved. Pei Zhuxuan took out his mobile phone and checked the time. He exclaimed softly, quickly arranged his hair and put on the baseball bat again. : "No, it's too late, I have to go back."
"So fast?"
Chi Jingyuan felt that it had only lasted less than five minutes.
"Well, the agent Ernie is still up there. It's hard to say if we go back later, and..." She put on her hat very skillfully, smoothed her hair and looked at Chi Jingyuan again, standing in the white car. Under the interior light, their eyes met.
"Well..." She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something more, but hesitated and swallowed the words.
Then she paused, took the initiative to reach out her little hand, and covered the back of Chi Jingyuan's hand as before, then gently grabbed it and folded it together.
Although it had only been a few minutes after sitting in the car, maybe it was because of the heater or because of his mood. At this time, Bae Zhuhyun's hands were no longer cold and became warm.
After two or three seconds, she quickly pulled her hand back, pursed her lips and glanced at Chi Jingyuan one last time: "I'm leaving first."
"Remember to send a text message when you get back." Chi Jingyuan nodded, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to straighten the wrinkled hat on her back, and then looked at each other with a smile.
"Um."
The car door opened and closed with a "bang" sound. In the dim lights on the roadside, Bae Zhuhyun, who was wearing a down jacket, lowered her head and trotted away into the distance against the wind. Even though she was wrapped in a coat, she still looked twisted from behind. With a twist, the footsteps changed from clear to blurry, and soon disappeared in the distance.
Chi Jingyuan watched Pei Zhuxuan's back disappear from sight. He paused for two seconds and then breathed out gently. Then he picked up the linen bag next to him, opened it, and turned it over gently. From time to time, he picked up a small gift and put it in his hand. Look around.
To be honest, the "cute" and "good-looking" gifts that Bae Zhuhyun had just boasted about were all quite ugly in his opinion.
Chi Jingyuan looked at a piggy purse in his hand, stared at its silly and innocent face, curled his lips slightly, and then laughed again.
It's indeed ugly, but if you look closely, it's actually a little bit cute.
Although he may not actually use it, it is actually quite good to take it back to the dormitory and store it.
but……
The movements in his hands slowed down, but he thought of Pei Zhuhyun's slightly different performance in the past two days.
Although there wasn't anything too intimate just now, he clearly felt that the young lady seemed to be becoming more proactive.
Regardless of the tone, actions, or even mentality, it seems to be the same.
Although we were quite close in the past few months, they were not like this. There was always a vague feeling of disconnection...
Just when Chi Jingyuan was thinking about things, the mobile phone next to him rang after a while. When he opened it, it was a selfie of Bae Zhuhyun smiling while making scissor hands. In the photo, she had taken off her down coat and baseball cap. , her golden hair was pulled up, and her unobstructed face looked white and tender.
Behind the photo was written, 'Arrived at the dormitory, passed the test perfectly! '
"..."
Chi Jingyuan looked down for a while, then put the phone away without replying. He glanced at the piggy coin bag that was thrown aside, smiled and drove the car towards his dormitory.
