One person and half

"You cry like this every time, Zhuhyunxi, are you really a female idol?"

The words of questioning and interrogation came out of Chi Jingyuan's mouth without mercy. Although the other person still buried his head in his legs and couldn't see his expression, he could clearly see that Pei Zhuxuan's left hand holding the wet wipes was obviously tightened.

a little.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was obviously angry, held a wet wipe in her left hand and stretched it out to hit him, but she didn't find the right position and hit him in the air. As if she didn't understand her hatred, she even hit him hard in the air several times before angrily giving up.

go back.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhuxuan reached out and tightened the loose sweater hat covering his head, opened the package of wet wipes, took out two sheets, turned his head to the right, turned his back to Chi Jingyuan, and quickly wiped his face lightly.

I wiped it gently. After wiping it for a few times, I felt that two sheets were not enough, so I took out several more sheets and wiped my face.

Every time he made a move, he was cautious, fearing that Chi Jingyuan would see his face that might contain tears, snot, chocolate chips, etc.

At this time, her legs were still placed together on the chair, but her upper body was turned around like a puppet. Such awkward movements made her look like a gymnast.

At this moment, Bae Joo Hyun was far less domineering and straightforward than she had been before, holding her neck and raising her head to ask the other person, "Is it ugly?" She suddenly became less pretentious.

Maybe she herself knew that Chi Jingyuan didn't lie, it was really ugly.

Looking at Pei Zhuhyun with her back turned to her, and the obvious bulge on her sweater and hat that was pushed out by the braid, she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, especially when she saw the other person wiped it carefully for a while and took it out of her pocket with her back to him.

I took out my phone and took a few photos with the black screen carefully before I felt at ease.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Is it useful? What were you doing just now?

That is to say, he didn't react just now, otherwise he would have taken a picture of Bae Zhuhyun's crying face as a screen saver.

Then take a screenshot and send it to her.

After wiping her face clean, Pei Zhuhyun turned around. However, maybe because she felt a little cold or wanted to cover it up a little, she did not take off the sweater and hood. Instead, she took the initiative to lengthen and tighten the sweater cord at the collar.

His head was tightly wrapped in a small hat, his cheeks were tightly wrapped by the brim of the hat, and there was a big bulge behind the hat, which looked very funny.

However, the low pressure in her body just now seemed to have been vented a lot in her crying. At least she looked a lot more angry at this time. Her face, which was not wearing makeup, was not sure whether it was because she had just cried or because she wiped it too hard and it looked red.

, the wings of his nose and eyelashes were trembling slightly, showing the turbulent emotions in his heart.

After glancing at Chi Jingyuan, he withdrew his gaze, relaxed his posture and looked at the lights in the distance. Pei Zhuxuan no longer lowered his head, glanced at him, raised his head, and looked into the distance together.

The two of them sat quietly and looked at the striking night view of Seoul without saying a word. The night breeze that never stopped suddenly found that it could no longer blow away the temperature that was gradually rising here.

It's obviously the same as when I first came here, no one is talking, but the atmosphere has obviously changed a lot.

After a while, Pei Zhuxun reached out and seemed to want to rub his head, but when he touched it, he found that his hair was already wrapped in a hat. He took back his hand as if nothing happened, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then turned back and looked at

Yuanfang took the initiative and said: "When my mother called me a few days ago, she mentioned some messages my family had seen on the Internet that were criticizing me."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was very comfortable to listen to.

"I know they are very angry and sad, but they still took the initiative to care about me on the phone... Although I am really grateful to them, I feel more embarrassed and really don't want my family to see these things.

...I don’t know what to say, and I’m not very good at expressing this kind of emotion.”

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, but said nothing.

After a while, she turned her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked: "XO was also attacked badly when he first debuted. Has your family seen those comments?"

"You must have seen it. After all, my family all care about me."

When XO debuted, Chi Jingyuan was in the best situation and the most popular member of the team. However, given the bad online environment, he certainly couldn't survive alone. Although he may not be criticized as much as others, there are actually quite a lot of them.

There weren't many people who criticized her appearance. Most of them said the makeup was ugly and then made up some baseless rumors.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "It's just that they didn't mention it. My parents are in the United States all year round, and Noona and my second brother are usually very busy..."

"But they all know that this is my own choice, and they should believe me."

He looked at Pei Zhuxuan's eyes and added: "But I think the same as you and don't want this kind of thing to be known to my family. I can understand this feeling."

"..." Blinking, Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and nodded silently. After a few seconds, she suddenly asked with interest: "You and Noona and brother? Are you the youngest child in the family?"

Her eyes were shining and she looked quite interested.

"No, and they are much older than me. I am a child born to middle-aged parents, so I have always been favored." Chi Jingyuan said it casually without hiding anything, then looked at her and asked:

"And you?"

"I also have a sister who is 5 years younger than me."

"Isn't that two years younger than me?"

"..." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at him angrily, and curled her lips in displeasure.

He knows that he doesn't like to talk about age, but this person always knowingly does it. It's really annoying.

Chi Jingyuan secretly laughed in his heart, but he still took the initiative to change the topic: "Has Red Velvet been inactive recently?"

"Who said that? There's more!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan frowned and looked at him, and retorted like a conditioned reflex due to her pride, but in the end, her voice became obviously softer and she continued: "A little."

"..."

Feeling the half-smiling eyes of the other party, Pei Zhuxuan blushed a little. When she couldn't bear the look, she turned away as if she was giving up on herself: "...it's almost gone."

"Don't worry too much. After all, Ledbebe is the first girl group launched by SM after such a long time. The company will definitely operate it with care."

Although Bae Joo Hyun's strong performance is quite cute, Ji Kyung Won did not mean to laugh at it, but naturally talked about his views on Red Velvet: "And I have seen all the stages of the four of you, regardless of your strength.

It doesn’t really matter whether it’s your personal charm or not. The current situation is not mainly due to you, but more to the influence of other aspects. It’s really bad to advance the debut date in advance.”

"I guess the company's plan for you is similar to that of our EXO. It will be quiet for a while, and then at the end of the year, you will run a new artist award in a large award ceremony such as MAMA or the Seoul Music Awards, and then come back next year to change your style and create

Some gimmicks while investing more resources.”

"Many passers-by who don't hate you from the bottom of their hearts will not really stay in the dark for that long. By then, this year's limelight will have almost passed, and your situation may be much better by then."

Speaking of this, Pei Zhuxuan listened carefully to Chi Jingyuan's opinions, nodded in agreement from time to time, and his expression looked better.

Although this is only Chi Jingyuan's personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of SM Company, out of her trust in the other party and her understanding of Chi Jingyuan's position within the company, she feels that what the other party said is quite reliable.

At least she wants to believe it.

Bae Zhuhyun has always had a strong sense of professionalism and self-esteem. After practicing for so long, she ended up like this when she debuted. In addition to being sad and aggrieved, she felt deeply unwilling. As long as there was hope, she would definitely try her best to change her current situation.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered what Chi Jingyuan had just said when she was crying, and looked over with concern: "So how is XO now? So many people have left..."

Members quitting the group is a big problem for any idol group in the peninsula. Look at Kara's current situation after someone left the group. After Girls' Generation's Jessica left, Sone split directly and is still in great disputes.

knew.

As for EXO, one person is not leaving, but one is leaving every two days, and people are leaving one after another.

The harm this situation brings to Tuan fans is very great, and the more loyal they are and the more they like XO, the greater the harm will be.

"Lay estimates that the results will come out in the next two days. Either he will run away like the first two people, or he will open a personal studio. From now on, he will focus on his schedule in mainland China. There should be no other choice."

Chi Jingyuan looked at Jiang Mian and exhaled. After being silent for a few seconds, he answered: "The harm to our fans is indeed great. Even some of my only fans have been affected a lot by those rumors, not to mention the group.

...It's a bit similar to your Red Velvet. What our future situation will be depends on our comeback next year. The company is currently planning, and I should be involved."

After thinking about it, he added: "But there should be another single released in December."

"EXO's winter special?" Bae Zhuhyun asked at the right time.

"you know?"

"..." Pei Zhuxuan glanced sideways at him and curled her lips.

nonsense.

"Although it is also a winter special, this year I may not release a mini-album like last year. I should just release a single. The previous plan was very perfunctory. I tried to get it from the company and it should be better, but the song has not been selected yet.

, I don’t have a clue yet.”

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan, who had always been calm and confident, looked a little waning, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly burst out into a bright smile, stretched out her fist and gestured at him: "Fighting!"

Just like when Chi Jingyuan cheered him up every time they met before.

Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan burst into laughter and gestured: "fighting!"

"Let's work hard together, it depends on next year."

"Inside."

After cheering each other up, the two seemed to be in much better spirits and relaxed, as if the return of the two groups next year was already certain to be successful.

Unknowingly, we sat a little closer and looked into the distance together, seeing the brilliant night view from the sparkling river, and finally raised our heads to look at the foggy night sky.

A cold wind blew by. Chi Jingyuan noticed the situation between the two of them out of the corner of his eye. Thinking of something, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Feeling Pei Zhuxuan's confused eyes, he pursed his lips at the sky: "We are now

Does it look like you’re watching the sunrise?”

"Pfft..."

Pei Zhuxuan burst out laughing, revealing her small white teeth that reflected the moonlight. A disgusted smile appeared on Susu's face, and she said angrily: "Who would come out to watch the sunrise at twelve o'clock in the morning? It's Pabo...

…”

As she said that, she also raised her head and looked at the silvery but lonely moon with Chi Jingyuan. As she watched, the laughter in her mouth gradually weakened, and her whole person became quiet.

Pei Zhuxuan seemed to feel something in this quiet night sky, and suddenly became a little crazy.

The two of them really looked up at the dark sky as if they were watching the sunrise. It seemed that the miserable moon would be replaced by a big fireball in the next second and the sky would become brighter.

One is half leaning on the back of a wooden chair, and the other is holding his feet on the chair with his hands. The postures are completely different but look very harmonious.

"The current situation of our combination is just like what you just said, and it is somewhat similar to the scene in front of you. The sky is gray and there is no light... but it will be better after the sun comes out."

Chi Jingyuan began to tell the story seriously, but his words seemed a little childish.

"Why are you trying to comfort a child?" Pei Zhuhyun glanced at him and pursed her lips.

"Be more romantic. Why don't you talk about this? What about the pimple on the corner of your mouth?"

"Yeah..." She punched him angrily and glared at him threateningly. Pei Zhuxuan looked at the sky and seemed to be getting into the fun: "The sunrise must be very beautiful and bright. It will definitely cover us all."
