Chi Jingyuan turned around and looked at Zhou Ziyu who was waving awkwardly. He was stunned for a moment. He did not walk directly over there, but inadvertently glanced at the two members next to him who were also looking at Zhou Ziyu.
Park Chanyeol and Wu Shixun nodded in response when they saw Zhou Ziyu saluting them quickly. Then they looked at the girl's face, and then at Chi Jingyuan next to them, with interesting and weird looks in their eyes.
Park Chanyeol patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder with a smile, and he and Wu Shixun walked away with a very sensible look. After a few steps, the low-pitched playful exchanges were faintly heard, and gradually faded away with their footsteps.
It always felt like these two people had misunderstood something.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the backs of the two people who were leaving quickly, curled his lips slightly, and walked quickly in front of Zhou Ziyu. More than half of the light above his head was blocked by his figure, and it could still be seen on Zhou Ziyu's short face. to the shadow of his hair.
"What are you doing?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at the corridor next to him that no one was passing by at this time, and then looked at Zhou Ziyu and asked curiously.
This girl is quite generous in private, but she usually doesn't like talking to him in front of Twice, EXO members, or other people. Now she actually called him in front of Park Chanyeol?
And it seemed like she was specifically looking for him. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the small package she was holding.
"for you……"
Zhou Ziyu raised his head and glanced at him. His slightly cramped eyebrows suddenly relaxed. He lifted up the small package in his hand, held it with both hands and handed it forward. He smiled, and the little tiger teeth jumped from his lips. Out: "Merry Christmas!"
Sure enough, I guessed it right, I was specifically looking for him.
Facing the little girl's enthusiasm, Chi Jingyuan did not take it directly. Instead, he paused, glanced at the gift in Zhou Ziyu's hand, frowned slightly, and glanced at her little tiger teeth. He said with some reproach: "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that I have been too busy recently and have no time to prepare any Christmas gifts or anything like that..."
It was almost Christmas and he naturally knew that according to the popular trend among young people, close friends, especially men and women, would naturally give each other some Christmas gifts.
Unfortunately, in the past few days, the crew of "Signal" has made the fastest filming progress and everyone is most engaged. The day before yesterday, they finished shooting at a mental hospital in Gyeonggi Province. They spent five hours overnight returning to Seoul. They didn't sleep long before starting filming again. Chi Jingyuan, who has been busy recently, has no time or thought to think about Christmas gifts, so he simply doesn't bother to think about it.
So at the end of the text message with Zhou Ziyu the night before yesterday, after the other party angrily accused him of being childish and annoying, he mentioned this matter by the way and casually mentioned that he didn't have time to prepare gifts and wouldn't give them this year.
Naturally, gifts must be given to each other to be considered as sincere gifts. It always feels a bit weird if only one party gives it to them.
Zhou Ziyu didn't reply clearly at that time, but she naturally saw the text message... Unexpectedly, there was another sudden attack today.
Facing Chi Jingyuan's slightly reproachful eyes and helpless tone, the girl blinked, smiled with her eyelashes trembling slightly, and said as she should, "You don't have time to prepare, but I do." Time..."
With that said, she held the gift package in both hands and passed it forward, almost touching Chi Jingyuan's chest.
Hearing her extremely natural tone, Chi Jingyuan, who had been a little helpless just now, suddenly paused. He looked down at the gifts and hands on his chest, and then looked up at the face close at hand.
The eyes are big, a pair of dark and lively eyes, the dimples are round, and they are a bit naughty on the face, and the tiger teeth are pointed, looking like a puppy.
A bright smile hangs on her face, and under the interplay of shadows and lights, it looks like a peach blossom intertwined with light and dark, innocent but a bit charming.
But with that familiar face, how do you look...
Why do you feel so stupid?
Chi Jingyuan slandered in his heart as if to vent his anger. The impatience he felt just now disappeared. He breathed out gently, looked at her, blinked, reached out and took the small gift box, and suddenly smiled. He came out: "Thank you."
Forget it, being naive is pretty good.
"Hehe." Seeing that Chi Jingyuan took the gift without saying anything offensive, Zhou Ziyu felt relieved, narrowed his eyes and laughed.
The box was quite small, less than half the palm of my hand. When I shook it slightly, the touch and sound indicated that it should be a hat or something soft like a glove. Chi Jingyuan looked at the wrapped gift box in his hand and took it. He took off his hands and focused on the person in front of him: "Are you okay now? Were you specifically looking for me just now?"
Just as Zhou Ziyu was poking his head in the corridor, Chi Jingyuan almost knew it at a glance.
"Well, I'll prepare something to eat later. It's time to rest now." Zhou Ziyu smoothed her hair and nodded obediently. However, she did not respond to the subsequent questions and just smiled.
"Can't you use your mobile phones when you're playing songs? You can just send me a text message. Why did you sneak out... If your manager catches you, I'll scold you to death."
Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan snarled angrily. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. Several staff members walked towards this side. After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan naturally stepped back. In two steps, he established an obvious polite distance from Zhou Ziyu.
"..."
They were a few staff members of the "Music Bank" program that they knew. When they saw Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu, they didn't look strange. They smiled, nodded and said hello and left quickly.
"I sent it!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Ziyu frowned and whispered in a complaining tone: "I sent you several messages. I sent them more than an hour ago, and you didn't reply at all!"
As she said this, she quietly glared at Chi Jingyuan, a bit reproachful in her glare.
"Oh..." Chi Jingyuan reacted when he heard it: "We have been busy just now and we just finished pre-recording the stage. I didn't bring my mobile phone with me..."
He was a little embarrassed, but he quickly brushed it off due to his rich experience. He picked up his phone and checked the time, and then proactively urged: "Okay, I received the gift. Go back quickly to avoid being scolded by the agent." .”
"Oh, okay."
Zhou Ziyu nodded meekly, glanced at the gift in Chi Jingyuan's hand and his face, and prepared to leave.
"Yes, thank you...but the gift is gone. If I say I don't have time, I really don't have time to prepare..."
When she was about to prepare, Chi Jingyuan suddenly stopped her and repeated what he had just said casually. When the other party looked over, he looked up into the girl's eyes and said with some serious blessing: "But ,Merry Christmas!"
"hey-hey."
The little tiger teeth were exposed again, and Zhou Ziyu smiled cheerfully, as if he didn't care about the gifts at all. He waved his hand and ran towards the lounge of Twice. After turning a corner, he lost sight of anyone.
Chi Jingyuan chuckled and glanced at the corner. He took the gift box and walked towards the other side, towards the MC waiting room. He didn't close the door and walked in directly.
"Busy working?"
Pei Zhuxuan had already arrived first, and was sitting on the sofa, sorting through her bag, and seemed to be sorting something. After hearing the noise, she looked up, her eyes lit up when she saw Chi Jingyuan, and she immediately said hello with a smart tone. , sounds like I’m in a good mood.
"It's almost there. There may be another rehearsal in the afternoon."
While Chi Jingyuan responded, he walked straight to the table next to him, took the shoulder bag and opened the zipper, ready to put the gift in his hand.
He came to the MC waiting room first this morning, and then went to EXO's side after finishing the meeting. He just threw his shoulder bag here.
"Be careful during the rehearsal. PD Jin and the others are under a lot of pressure today. They scolded people several times during the rehearsal. By the way, you..."
An energetic voice came, and Pei Zhuxuan spoke a little fast. But halfway through, she suddenly saw what looked like a gift box in Chi Jingyuan's hand, and her tone stopped abruptly.
She watched Chi Jingyuan unzip and open the shoulder bag. After pausing for a few seconds, she asked in a casual tone: "What? Did you receive a gift?"
"Well, Christmas..." Seemingly not noticing the change in Pei Zhuxuan's tone, Chi Jingyuan turned his back to her and nodded.
"That's it..."
Although Pei Zhuxuan's tone changed a little, she actually thought it was quite normal. Moreover, she knew that Chi Jingyuan was very busy these days and had no time to prepare gifts. She could still take the initiative to give gifts. She probably didn't know Chi Jingyuan's situation. It was nothing. A friend who is too familiar, so she no longer pays too much attention to him.
At this time, her manager happened to be away, and there was no one else in the waiting room. She flipped through the bag in her hand and slowly took out something she had prepared. While holding it, she smiled and asked casually: "Who gave it to me, Eunchi?" xi?"
"Her savage country boy doesn't have such a habit..." Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but complain when he mentioned Zheng Endi. He zipped up the bag and put it back in its place, without any intention of hiding it: "Tzuyu Sent."
"..."
Hearing this name, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly paused, and the things he had already taken out halfway froze.
After appreciating Chi Jingyuan's tone and address, she gently curled her lips without leaving any trace. She raised her head and glanced at his back. After a brief hesitation, she used her right hand to stuff the thing back in.
