Kang Seulgi immediately shied away from the responsibility and said it had nothing to do with her: "I heard some rumors among trainees, it seems that Sulli's personality is more...um...selfish, and she is more casual in doing things. Sometimes the company's management is...
It doesn’t sound very good.”
"Are you female trainees so interested in these things every day?"
Chi Jingyuan complained, but remembering his interaction with Cui Xueli when he was MC a few days ago, he thought for a few seconds and nodded: "It's not groundless, she may have a little bit. But I contacted her
I’ve been here a few times and I feel like my personality is quite good.”
"Compared to the rumors, of course I believe in your vision, Jingyuan!"
Jiang Seulqi puffed up her cheeks and smiled, looking very naive: "Besides, Sulli-senpai is a senior who has already debuted, so we will definitely be happy to get to know each other."
"Tch, then you can go show off. You and Chi Jingyuan are close friends."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and retorted.
"Wow, how did you know we often show off to you?"
Sun Shengwan looked at him with wide eyes as if he had been exposed.
"Hahaha……"
Several other people couldn't help but laugh. This kid really didn't look very smart.
"How are you guys doing lately? Is there any news about your debut?" Chi Jingyuan asked with concern.
"Nai, speaking of this... we have received news. The company seems to be preparing to launch a preliminary star project recently, called SM Rookies. It will continue to disclose the training process and daily life of some trainees online. The director said that if
If you can enroll in school, your chances of debuting will increase a lot."
When Jiang Seulqi mentioned this, she immediately became energetic and introduced her with bright eyes. After that, she closed her mouth and was a little reserved without continuing, with an expression on her face as if you were going to ask more questions.
"Nay, let me ask, have you been selected?"
Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun looked at each other, sighed, and took advantage of her wish to ask.
"Hahaha, zzang! The room manager has already communicated with me. I am already a preparatory player for SM Rookies. After all, I am already a senior who has been practicing for several years, and I am very strong."
Jiang Seulqi had a proud look on her face and seemed to be squealing happily.
"What about victory?"
"I was not selected this time, but the teacher told me that I have good singing skills and have made rapid progress in other aspects. The company likes me very much and I have great hopes for the next time."
Sun Shengwan got the promise, so he didn't lose heart. He smiled and clapped his hands with Jiang Seulgi. The two looked at each other and smiled, looking very tired.
"By the way, Joohyun Unnie was also selected."
Jiang Seulqi seemed to suddenly think of something and added something.
"Juhyun Unnie... Bae Zhuhyun? When did you become so familiar with her?"
Hearing this name, Chi Jingyuan gritted his teeth.
"Didn't I tell you before? We have known each other for a long time. We have been practicing and eating together frequently since more than half a year ago."
"She seemed quite cold when we were not close, but after getting to know her more, I found out that she is actually a very good person, and sometimes a bit dull. Hehe, I will introduce you to her next time."
Speaking of Bae Joo Hyun and Kang Seulgi, they talked about each other.
"Joohyun Unnie also pays close attention to EXO. By the way, she is a bit similar to Kyungwon. She also seems to like those childish anime."
Saying that, Jiang Seqi pointed at Chi Jingyuan's clothes and pursed her lips.
"Childish? My clothes are so trendy, how can I be childish?"
Chi Jingyuan immediately retorted, frowning and looking serious.
He was wearing a white crew-neck shirt today, with a pattern of Nobita Nobita, the male protagonist of "Fat Blue", standing at attention on the front, with his hand next to his forehead and a serious look on his face, saluting forward.
It's obviously a very formal expression and action, but when it's done by Nobita, it's inexplicably funny.
"Don't mention it now. If you go out wearing these clothes, I don't even want to stand with you. A group of people were staring at your clothes just now, and we almost got recognized."
Wu Shixun looked at Chi Jingyuan's clothes and waved his hands with a look of disgust.
"That's because you don't understand."
Chi Jingyuan snorted and curled his lips.
"I think it's pretty good-looking and cute." Son Seung-wan said that he liked it very much.
Just when a few people were arguing about whether Chi Jingyuan's clothes looked good or not, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it. After saying "I'll pick her up" to a few people, he put on a mask and walked out of the box.
.
When I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I saw Cui Xueli walking towards me. Although she was also disguised, her orange-red hair color and figure were really conspicuous, and Chi Jingyuan recognized her at a glance.
Cui Xueli was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, with her hair tied into a braid on the back of her head. She looked like a complete student.
After waving to her, Cui Shirley obviously bent her eyes and walked over quickly:
"I really didn't expect that your private style is like this." She stared at Nobita on Chi Jingyuan's clothes for a while, and said with some disbelief.
"He's very handsome. You'll know later. Let's go."
Chi Jingyuan took Cui Xueli to the box, and several people greeted each other warmly. Cui Shirley smiled happily. Even when facing two female trainees who had not yet debuted, she did not feel contempt at all, but felt very natural.
We sat next to each other and started chatting.
Originally, they were all from SM Company and had met each other many times in the company before. At the same time, in the same year of 1994, Chi Jingyuan introduced each other from the center, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
We didn’t chat for long after eating and drinking. We took time out in the evening. The trainees couldn’t go back too late at night, and EXO and FX also had announcements tomorrow.
After finishing the work, everyone went back separately. Wu Sehun sent Jiang Seulqi and two back in the car, while Chi Jingyuan sent Cui Shirley back to FX's dormitory in Park Jaehyun's car.
The black car stopped and stopped on the busy road. The bright and colorful night view of Seoul was shining on the windows, which seemed a bit dazzling. The noisy horn made the interior of the car extremely quiet.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli were sitting in the back row, one by the left window and the other by the right window, looking at the scenery outside the window respectively. The laughter and excitement at the party just now seemed to have been taken away by something, and now only
Silence.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."
Chi Jingyuan spoke, his eyes still looking out the window, but Cui Shirley knew clearly that he was talking to himself.
"Keep your original character, be yourself and pay a little attention to other people's feelings. There is no need to lower your posture and agree."
Chi Jingyuan's voice was calm and soft, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
He noticed when they were eating just now that Cui Xueli's attitude was a bit strange and not exactly flattering, but she deliberately lowered her attitude and took the initiative to chat and build a relationship with Jiang Seulgi.
If not for this, even in the same year, she, a very popular senior who had debuted for several years, would not have had such a happy chat with two female trainees.
"It's not easy to meet a few people of the same age. I just want to have a few more relatives and friends I can talk to. And aren't you also there?"
Cui Xueli put her hand on the car door, her head resting on her arm, her lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were full of confusion, and she looked out the window at the passing street scene and replied.
Her expression at this time looked a little indifferent, which was very different from her enthusiastic self just now.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly asked Chi Jingyuan a question:
"By the way, were you ever bullied when you were in school?"
