After wandering around for a long time, Mingjing Nan finally said what she really wanted to say, but Chi Jingyuan didn't expect that what she wanted to say was actually this.
Although he was a little surprised, after Chi Jingyuan saw this sentence, he instantly understood Mingjing Nan's mood and thoughts at this time.
Mingjingnan obviously felt uncomfortable because of the relatively close interaction and contact between him and Bae Zhuhyun's MC during today's collaboration.
Or maybe it’s not just because of today’s event, it may be because the collaboration with the award-winning guests the day before yesterday has already begun, or it may be because of the two people’s private practice in the past two days, or it may even be in their hearts since they met in SM.
I got a thorn and started to care and care.
Although Chi Jingyuan has been very kind to her since the two of them started dating, the emotional value of her relationship makes Mingjing Nan feel extremely excited and extremely attached to her boyfriend.
But the more this happened, the more empty she felt sometimes.
After all, this relationship was for Chi Jingyuan, whom she licked her face and took the initiative to pursue. She was inherently at a disadvantage, and she also had some knowledge of her boyfriend's personality and past.
So the more you care, the less secure you feel.
And this negative emotion reached a peak today. Not only did he steal the spotlight with Bae Zhuhyun on the stage, but he couldn't help but make a request to Chi Jingyuan in private.
only……
Chi Jingyuan looked at the text messages on his phone. The smile on his face when he was chatting with other members just now faded slightly and became a little calmer, even a little deeper.
He understood Mingjing Nan's mood very well, and was a little ashamed of his little girlfriend's cautious tone. He also knew that her request was reasonable and legitimate, but...
But he would not agree to such a thing...because of his character, his past, and his self-philosophy.
Not to mention a sincere promise that was impossible, even if it was just a casual perfunctory statement on the surface, he didn't want to say it. This time Bae Joo Hyun agreed. What about Bae Suzy next time? What if it's Yoona sunbaenim next time?
... He can't do it himself, and he's not willing to do it, so there's no need to say nice things to deceive others.
Just like when he and Bae Zhuhyun were separated...this is also his consistent habit and approach.
In fact... if it were in the past, if he saw a girl making such demands to him that wanted to control or even influence his behavior, he would even feel bored and impatient in his heart.
There was a lot of noise and noise in the nanny's car. Chi Jingyuan opened the window a little, and the biting night wind rushed in, blowing his hair into the air instantly. The air-conditioning that poured in also made him feel energetic.
"Hey, why do you open the window when it's cold?"
Someone complained from the side, but Chi Jingyuan ignored it. After blowing the wind for a while, he continued to look down at the text message.
According to his habitual personality, he felt that he would be dissatisfied.
But when he looked at Mingjing Nan's text message, looked at the roundabout words in it, looked at the careful and humble probing tone of the last one, he found that he was not as impatient as he imagined, but actually was.
There is some heartache and a sense of guilt.
Sensing the change in his heart, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized that with the changes of time, after so many years of debut and meeting various girls, something seemed to have happened to him unknowingly.
Variety.
But...he still won't agree.
However, just when Chi Jingyuan wanted to reply, he hesitated.
After all, this is the first time Najing Nan has made a request to him as his girlfriend in such a long time of dating... Even this tone cannot be said to be a request, it can be said to be a request.
Even Chi Jingyuan couldn't remain indifferent... After all, he didn't regard Mingjing Nan as a dispensable toy that didn't matter his mood. On the contrary, he actually put a lot of thought into this relationship.
The movements in his hands stopped, and he glanced at Wu Shixun and others who were chattering in front of him, but he began to think quickly in his heart.
After a minute, he finally thought of a countermeasure.
Since I don't want to agree, but I don't want to make Mingjing Nan sad... maybe I need to use some skills.
He wrote a text message quickly. He did not directly say whether he was willing to answer or not, nor did he refuse. Instead, he asked directly:
"...to what extent?"
After sending it, Chi Jingyuan clicked on his cell phone and looked at the night view outside the window and waited with the wind... Judging from his understanding of Mingjing Nan, in the face of this slightly forceful and aggressive rhetorical question, her temperament
There is a high probability that I will no longer insist on such a request.
About a minute later, the phone vibrated. Chi Jingyuan did not look at it directly, but quietly blew the wind for a while, until his face was a little cold from the cold, and then he picked up the phone.
"It doesn't matter to what extent, it's just... Yuan-chan just pretended not to see it. In fact, I just said it casually, hehe... By the way, Yuan-chan, today is Sana-chan's birthday, you know, I never have time during the day,
We are going to have something to eat together to celebrate her..."
really.
Mingjing Nan's attitude did not exceed Chi Jingyuan's expectations. She passed the previous prayer with a little hesitation and nervousness, and then turned to other topics with some stiffness.
Chi Jingyuan's eyes flashed and he slightly pursed his lips.
Mingjing Nan's reaction was just as he expected. His goal had been achieved before, and this feeling of being able to handle everything with ease in the relationship between men and women made him unable to help but feel a little reserved and conceited.
But this feeling quickly dissipated like smoke after a brief appearance, and when he looked at the text messages on his phone, he suddenly felt a little silent.
The upper and lower text messages in Mingjing Nan's text message interface are all connected together. The upper text message is still cautious and cautious, and the lower text message immediately changes the topic, pretending to be happy and abruptly changing the topic. The two are connected together.
As he looked at it, the weak and humble character in it became more clear and dazzling, making Chi Jingyuan feel a little guilty and a little emotional at the same time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His attitude can easily affect Mingnan's words, deeds and emotions... This girl really cares about him to her core.
Chi Jingyuan was silent for a while, not even reacting to the cold wind blowing on his face. He didn't come back to his senses until the nanny car drove to the parking lot of the company building and stopped.
Looking at the series of text messages on his phone, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what he was thinking of and sighed slowly.
"Ah, what are you doing? Walk faster!"
Wu Shixun shouted in front of him. Chi Jingyuan, who stopped in place, ignored him. He thought for a while, lowered his head and typed quickly:
"I want to see you."
After sending it, Chi Jingyuan found Minazaki Sasha's name on his phone and clicked on it to send a text message saying "Happy birthday Sana xi."
Chi Jingyuan doesn't know about her birthday at all. If he's not a fan or interested in her, who can remember it... Kim Jong-in may know.
But forget it if you don't know. If you know, since he is so familiar with Jingnan, he will definitely want to send a message to let him know.
Unexpectedly, Minazaki Saka seemed to have been using her mobile phone, and she replied even faster than Nai Minami, replying almost in seconds:
"Oppa, do you remember that today is my birthday?"
There was a sense of surprise and joy in the hurried text. It was obvious that Chi Jingyuan's text message surprised Minazaki Saka.
"I almost forgot."
"Hey, thank you Oppa~"
Minazaki Saka was obviously very happy because of this blessing, and there was an exaggerated funny expression behind the text.
At this time, the phone vibrated slightly, and a text message from Ming Jingnan came. Because Chi Jingyuan just said that he wanted to see her, the girl understood and directly sent a selfie.
In the slightly dim light, Nai Minami posed in a face pillow pose, with only half of her face exposed between the hair and her lips, which seemed to be expressing something.
A very atmospheric selfie...
After watching it quietly for a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan reached out and gently tapped the mole on the tip of his girlfriend's lip in the photo, exhaled softly, and walked quickly in the direction of the other members.
………………
On December 31, 2016, the last night of this year, Peninsula’s last New Year’s Eve party of the year, the MBC Music Festival, was held as scheduled. Various idol groups and singers were vying to bloom, hoping to use the last brilliance of this year to welcome the upcoming arrival.
new year.
Unfortunately, compared to the various wonderfully choreographed and impressive programs in the SBS and KBS galas two days ago, MBC's performance here seemed a bit boring and bland, regardless of the excitement of the stage, the topics and gimmicks of the performance
. Even the size of the venue and the atmosphere of the scene are not as good as the previous two.
And maybe because the venue is too small, coupled with the obligatory off-site countdown to New Year's Eve, MBC's annual music festival is divided into several venues to be held at the same time and switched in various ways during the live broadcast.
This year's Song Festival also has three venues. In addition to the two indoor venues in Mapo-gu and Yeongdeungpo-gu, an outdoor stage is also set up at Sangam Culture Plaza outside the MBC building for performances.
And the final countdown to New Year's Eve... is the venue where DMC was held, the time Saka Minatozaki fell from the stage.
It doesn't matter how DMC performs outdoors in October, but now it's the cold winter at the end of December. It's completely torture for idols to perform in thin stage clothes under this temperature. Just standing and breathing in the white air can do it.
Smoke formed, and my hands and feet were shivering from the cold.
Ji Jingyuan, who was in the lobby of MBC headquarters, was secretly glad that EXO could sit safely in a warm room and watch the performance... EXO also enjoyed this kind of execution style of dancing in long and short sleeves in the winter when they first debuted.
Stage, he really had nightmares after experiencing it twice. Thank you for not being sensitive.
Especially in Seoul, it has been extremely cold recently. It even reached minus 8 degrees today, which is considered the coldest winter in Seoul in the past.
It's just that although I don't have to suffer from the cold, I feel very bored sitting in the artist's booth in Chi Jingyuan.
After watching the stage two days ago, I was really not interested in watching today's MBC. From the opening to now, the only performance that made him cheer up was the collaboration stage between Zhou Tzuyu, Kim Seolhyun, and Hani.
.
Zhou Ziyu was not at a disadvantage next to the two female idols who were famous for their figure and sexiness, but rather stood out, which really surprised Chi Jingyuan.
There is also the puppet show version of "TT" by Twice. The overall makeup and princess dress are very eye-catching...other than that it is lackluster. No matter how beautiful the stage is, it has nothing new after watching it so many times.
... Chi Jingyuan only felt that the only highlight of the entire party might not be on the stage, but on the host.
Today’s MC is Yoona sunbaenim!
Chi Jingyuan also finally realized what it meant when fans of Yinyin CP said on the Internet every day that "hosting is more beautiful than the stage."
It's a pity that the MC himself didn't make many appearances, and the camera switched back and forth between the three venues, so there were only a few opportunities for Yoona to show his face.
Amidst the boredom and business reactions, we finally waited until twelve o'clock.
All the idols from the three venues took to the stage and began to prepare for the most important ceremony of the day: the New Year's Eve countdown. It can be said that the entire night's performance was for the arrival of this moment.
Chi Jingyuan crowded onto the stage with the members of EXO. Standing in the crowd, looking at the young male and female idols around him, feeling the body temperature and fragrance that surrounded him from all directions, he suddenly had some inexplicable thoughts.
Speaking of which, EXO has been debuting for so many years, but as a Peninsula boy group, today seems to be their first time to participate in the Peninsula’s New Year’s Eve party and countdown... In previous years, they all attended the Peninsula’s New Year’s Eve party and countdown without exception.
When I was participating in programs in Mainland China, I went to Oriental Channel and Shonan Channel’s galas more than once, but on MBC’s side, all these years have been pre-recorded on one stage, and I’ve never been to a live broadcast.
It’s clear which side SM values more...
Chi Jingyuan vaguely remembered that they ended the countdown at Xiangnan Channel last year. When chatting with the team, they seemed to have mentioned casually, 'If there are no accidents in 2016, they might still attend the New Year's Eve party at Xiangnan Channel.'
As expected, an accident happened...
After recollecting his thoughts, he took a breath and looked around.
At this moment, everyone is standing in the same position as in the previous rehearsal. At this time, Ji Kyung-won is standing on the far right side of EXO. In front of him is Yoona, who is the MC and is standing at the front and is about to take the lead in the countdown. She
Next to her was Kim Taeyeon, who was squeezing over to grab the camera and enjoy the heat.
On the left is Park Chanyeol, while on the right is Twice. The nine members stand in two rows. The ones closest to Ji Kyung-won are Zhou Tzuyu and Kim Dahyun, and there is only one space between them to avoid suspicion.
At this moment, it seemed that because there were more people on the left side, Park Chanyeol next to him squeezed a step this way, and Chi Jingyuan was also forced to step aside and moved a step to the right, where he happened to stand.
Next to Zhou Ziyu, they could almost touch each other just by raising their hands.
Feeling the familiar smell and breath around her, Zhou Ziyu, who was smiling, seemed not to notice it at all. She was still smiling innocently, but the steps she was originally standing under her skirt involuntarily moved a little to the right...
It's very close, probably only a few millimeters, and it seems to be just a conditioned reflex action.
Chi Jingyuan didn't feel anything, and he couldn't control his reaction on this occasion. Moreover, just after he took up his position, he received a prompt from the director to start the countdown.
"10."
"9"
"8"
Under the leadership of Yoona, all the artists in the three venues started counting down together.
It seems that the atmosphere has arrived, or it may be that this New Year's Eve countdown ritual is really contagious. At this moment, everyone is smiling and their voices seem to be full of excitement. Chi Jingyuan can't help but be affected by the atmosphere,
His interest was aroused, and he who was originally bored and stopped doing business unconsciously started shouting along with him.
Although his voice was not loud, his smile was much more sincere.
"3,."
"2."
"1"
"Happy New Year!"
EXO, Twice, SHinee, Ji Kyung Won, Lim Yoon Ah, Kim Taeyeon, Zhou Ziyu... all of them shouted out together, smiling like flowers and beaming with joy. Under this sense of ceremony, everyone seemed to have found their own place and emotions.
echo.
The idols of the same group high-fived each other to celebrate. Ji Kyung-won had just clapped his hands with Park Chanyeol and Kim Jonghyun, and Lin Yoon-ah and Kim Taeyeon in front of them turned around and high-fived him one after another with smiles on their faces, and wished each other a cordial New Year.
Happy New Year.
But forget about Zhou Ziyu next to me...
All the idols on the stage cheered in unison, all the audiences inside and outside the three venues shouted with excitement, and the audience in front of countless TVs beamed with joy. Everyone’s smiles and voices, together with the bright and explosive lights that rose and exploded in the sky above Seoul at the same time.
Fireworks, together, brought the final end to this 2016 that was intertwined with glory and turmoil at this moment.
…………
The nanny van drove out of the MBC parking lot. The members of EXO, who had finished their last schedule of 2016, met up as usual to have some hot pot together to celebrate, or commemorate.
Everyone was in a state of excitement after the on-site New Year's Eve celebration. Even though they had been sitting boredly at the MBC site for four hours, they didn't feel tired. They were chatting about their own interesting things.
It's just that life and work are not all smooth. Frustration and dissatisfaction still take up most of it. While we are chatting about the good things, some bad news comes.
"...I just heard from Seungwon that Melon and those music source websites seem to be holding internal meetings to solicit opinions recently, and it is very likely that they will make changes to the existing music source rules...and they are specifically targeting us boy band fans to brush up the charts.
of."
After a brief silence, Jin Junmian spoke with some solemnity about the news he had just heard.
"Just because of that...what's the 'TT Island Incident' a few days ago?" Park Chanyeol asked with a frown.
"yes."
Jin Junmyeon's expression was a little ugly: "Although the popularity in the past two days seems to have been overshadowed by the popularity of Jingyuan as the world's number one coach and the New Year's Eve, the impact of this incident is very bad. Not only passers-by and listeners are dissatisfied, but many music charts have also
Discovered the flaw in my own rules..."
At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Even today, we are still eating. Although it is not as good as the first day, but... when I watched "MAMA" at noon, it was still
It’s on the list, hey.”
"Hey~"
Including Chi Jingyuan, everyone sighed helplessly after hearing this.
If the Melon charts are to change the rules for fans to brush the charts, it will be a huge bad news for all Kpop boy groups.
Compared with the girl groups who thrive like ducks in water, the boy groups whose music is not popular with most passers-by in the past want to perform well in terms of sound sources. In addition to releasing hit songs that are rare in several years, they all rely on the hard work of their numerous fans day and night.
Charts, especially early in the morning when the number of people listening to songs is sparse, is the best time for boy band fan activities.
Once the rules are revised in response to this, the reputations of EXO and BigBang may be better, but it is conceivable that most boy groups in the future will not be able to perform well in terms of music.
This time they were really dragged down by their fans...but the beauties still had good intentions, and it was impossible for them to say anything negative and critical.
I really didn't expect that a fan incident would have such a huge negative impact. Forget about the boy groups whose fans participated in the rankings a few days ago, all other boy groups have suffered unreasonable disasters and can only cry without tears.
"...By the way, what will we say about our next comeback? Will it be a Japanese album, a Korean album, or English songs directly? Have you heard any news?"
They were still talking about changing the rules, but Wu Shixun next to him was a little uninterested. Instead, he asked Chi Jingyuan in a low voice.
EXO's 17-year plan has been discussed since the second half of 2016, and there is still no certainty yet. However, the general direction of the market change has been determined. Wu Shixun is actually very curious and a little worried, and as a royal family and
Chi Jingyuan, who is a part-time producer, is the most well-informed within the group.
"I've heard a little bit, but it seems that it hasn't been officially confirmed yet. But there will be a meeting next week. By then..."
Chi Jingyuan didn't hide anything, he just said what he knew casually, but in the middle of the sentence, a call suddenly came in. He looked at the caller and answered the call. After hearing a few words, he couldn't help but frown.
