Sunny was sitting on a stool, leaning on the table next to her with her legs crossed and looking very leisurely. She was holding a bag of biscuits in her hand and kept feeding it to her mouth. She looked up while chewing.
Chi Jingyuan said with a smile: "And I've been paying attention for a long time. Many female idols around me glance at you from time to time. Are you so popular?"
Girls' Generation has already put on tonight's stage clothes, a pink fitted suit, a handsome style with a bit of sweetness, which is quite eye-catching.
"Of course, I am Chi Jingyuan."
Chi Jingyuan shook his head as a matter of course, and then made a curious joke: "Nuna, tell me who has been peeking at me, so that I can be happy."
"What? Once you know who it is, you will have a clear target, and then you can launch an attack to catch them?"
Glancing at him, Sunny sneered: "How many have you dated during this time?"
She still knows a thing or two about Chi Jingyuan's character. If she doesn't have a relationship or really likes him, she won't take this kind of thing too seriously.
"How can it be!"
Chi Jingyuan looked innocent as if he had been framed, and the acting skills in his eyebrows were simply amazing.
Then he put on a very serious look, pursed his lips and nodded as if he was being interviewed: "I have only debuted a few years ago, and the company's management is relatively strict, and my time is very tight, so I am definitely still
Put career first..."
"Ugh..." Sunny couldn't bear it and pretended to gag before she finished listening. The biscuits she had just eaten almost spit out.
She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a frown. The two looked at each other for two seconds, one innocent and the other disgusted, and then they both couldn't help laughing.
"I haven't seen you for such a long time. Are you finally willing to come back from Neon?"
Chi Jingyuan pulled a stool from the side and sat down. At the same time, he took an unopened bag of biscuits from Sunny. After opening it, he ate one and chewed it while talking.
It's crunchy, sweet, and tastes pretty good.
After chewing twice, Chi Jingyuan picked up the bag and looked at the brand and name on the package.
"Who told you I haven't been back for a long time?" Sunny gave him a look.
"Taeyeon, noona, didn't you say that you were too lazy to fly back and forth so you stayed in Neon?"
"I'm too lazy to fly back and forth with them anymore, because I have to come back several times a week and I have to host my radio show."
"Then you won't ask me to come out for a meal when you come back? We are a team."
"I leave every time after recording a show, and you guys, EXO, are extremely busy with your comeback and concerts at that time, so I don't want to cause any trouble."
Maybe Sunny was a little thirsty after eating too many cookies, so she picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. Then she stood up and naturally took out a can of coffee from the plastic bag next to the table and handed it to Chi Jingyuan.
Just as she sat back on the stool, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Chi Jingyuan: "No, don't you know that I have been hosting the radio station?"
"What radio station?"
""Sunny's FM" is a very famous radio program, and it's very good to listen to." After hearing his reply, Sunny frowned and looked over with a hint of murderous intent: "Wow, you really don't know anything about me.
Radio, you haven’t heard even one episode?”
Because they tasted good, Chi Jingyuan stuffed several biscuits into his mouth. When he was questioned, he looked at the other person with bulging cheeks. After blinking, he replied naturally: "Who is still in this age?"
Listen to the radio, and I don’t drive."
His voice changed a bit because there was something in his mouth, but after he finished speaking, he quickly bit down the biscuit and swallowed it.
"Then you EXO still appear on so many radio programs?" Sunny laughed angrily.
"The company arranged it, what can I do."
Chi Jingyuan took a sip of water and said casually: "Besides, the recording of the radio program is so easy. Find a place where the cameras are not very visible and just relax for a while. Just say a few perfunctory words and the time will pass."
"Axi, you are so..." Sunny looked at him speechlessly, feeling that the radio program that was very meaningful to him had been tarnished by this person.
While the two were chatting, several Girls' Generation members who had just gone out came back. When they arrived, they saw Chi Jingyuan and Sunny sitting there chatting, and they immediately gathered around with smiles.
"Jingyuan..." Taeyeon's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she called out after a few meters away. She walked over quickly and made a gun-shooting gesture with her hands, and fired hard at him: "Absolutely awesome!"
"
Then he reached out and tapped his head, leaning back and forth and grinning.
She obviously cosplayed some of the most eye-catching moves in Chi Jingyuan's "Dope". It seems that these singers have also seen his popular candid shots in the past few days.
"Hahaha..." Huang Meiying and Kim Hyoyeon also cosplayed, and several members next to them also laughed.
"You are really amazing. You can make it so hot with just one shot."
Kim Taeyeon came over and reached out to grab a small biscuit from Chi Jingyuan's hand, stuffed it into her mouth and ate it while saying: "Now the company has also begun to send people to take direct shots during our more important stage performances.
I heard that other brokerage companies have also started..."
"You are setting the trend, Yuan xi."
Facing the admiring and teasing looks of several sisters, Chi Jingyuan remained calm and said nothing. After swallowing the biscuits in his mouth, he chuckled, shook his head vigorously and shook the bangs on his forehead, and finally went there himself.
The wind blowing from above made my bangs sway slightly, and the smug expression on my face seemed to say, 'Isn't this a normal thing?'
"Yeah, haha..." Seeing his sullen look, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but burst out laughing. Together with Sunny, who had been patiently beside him for a long time, they slapped Chi Jingyuan on the back several times, causing a commotion among them.
The group really attracted a lot of attention from those nearby.
The Dream Concert was held as scheduled that night, and EXO was no longer as green as it was when they first debuted. They had participated in countless concerts of this scale.
I was quite excited when I participated in it before, but after they held their own solo concert, I didn’t feel so much. In comparison, the platter concert still seemed inferior, whether it was the atmosphere or anything else.
, to a certain extent, it’s a bit like a singing show with a large live audience.
EXO performed the 12-person version of "Overdose" on the third to last appearance, successfully completing the stage amidst the cheers of the audience, which can be regarded as pushing the atmosphere of this dream concert to the highest level.
At the end, all the artists came on stage to sing a song to promote the World Cup. During the chorus, Chi Jingyuan stood at the forefront of the stage and fished behind his own members. At the same time, he looked back a few times.
Looking at the rows of artists at the back, his view was completely blocked at the end, and several groups of idols who couldn't be caught by the camera kept padding their feet to try to catch the camera. He couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.
They all came from that time...
As the fireworks took off, amidst the screams, this dream concert came to a successful conclusion.
………
In the practice room, everyone in EXO was sitting there, each using their mobile phones, and at the same time, they were chatting lively.
During their meeting in the morning, the company announced that from now on, all EXO's SNS social media accounts will be managed and operated by the members themselves, and the company will only be responsible for operating the official account of the group EXO.
Currently, the main social media used by EXO is ins.
This is good news to many people, especially to some of the members who are very active social experts who like to spend time on SNS every day. They immediately burst into laughter after hearing it.
However, the company has also made business requirements for each member, clarifying how many pictures each person should upload in a month and interacting with fans more.
After all, SNS is also a good platform to express yourself, communicate with fans, stay active and increase your popularity. If you can't run it yourself, you won't be too lazy to ignore it completely.
At the same time, the company's personnel and managers have all emphasized that they must not post any content involving sensitive topics on SNS.
This explanation is very serious. SM company is very aware of the impact and harm of this thing.
The members also understood it very well and nodded in agreement seriously.
After everyone came back, they all took over their own Instagram accounts that had been officially operated before, changing their names and uploading pictures. They had a lot of fun watching the number of fans and comments increase.
However, Chi Jingyuan thought it was boring after a while and put it away. Compared with posting it himself, he still preferred to read it.
"Jingyuan, what's your account ID? Have you followed me?"
Wu Shixun controlled his cell phone and took a moment to turn his head and glance at Chi Jingyuan, who was playing a game next to him, and asked.
"'thY.', search it yourself."
Chi Jingyuan was nervously fighting the BOSS. He rolled to the ground to avoid the BOSS's killing blow. He smiled with satisfaction and replied without even looking up.
"thY., what a strange name?"
He usually read these letters in a low voice while typing, and Wu Shixun curled his lips.
Chi Jingyuan was busy and had no time to pay attention to him.
"I found it...I'm following you, remember to follow back."
After talking about it, Wu Shixun clicked on Chi Jingyuan's Instagram and looked at it. Within two seconds, he couldn't help but laugh: "You have only posted a photo now? Only half of your face is shown..."
"boom……"
Chi Jingyuan suddenly punched the ground with his fist in hatred. With just a small mistake, his character was instantly wiped out by the boss and was carried back to the village by a cat cart.
"Huh..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After adjusting his mentality, he opened his eyes and helplessly looked at the several members who were looking at him. He closed the game console save file and put it aside: "'thY.' That's it.
The abbreviation of the yuan., I randomly picked it up yesterday, it will take me two days to change it..."
"And my reputation is weird. Is it no better than your series of incomprehensible English letters?"
"You probably typed it in randomly by pressing the keyboard."
Chi Jingyuan is not very interested in operating Instagram. After getting it yesterday, he took a look at it and casually made up a name and changed the previous standard ID of 'EXO_Yuan' to show that from now on he will be operating it himself, and he also took selfies.
Once a photo was uploaded, it was ignored.
In this photo, he doesn't wear much makeup and only has half of his face from the bridge of his nose upwards. With the addition of a pair of scissor hands that can only be seen half, it's perfunctory enough.
"The English words on my account all have representative meanings. They are the abbreviations of the twelve members of EXO, and your name is also in it. Many fans say that my ID is very interesting..."
After saying something sarcastically, Wu Shixun suddenly sighed again: "Ah Xi, you already have more than 5 million fans, why do I only have 1.5 million..."
"Also, why does your perfunctory half-face photo have so many likes and comments?"
The more he looked at Chi Jingyuan's Instagram data, the more unhappy he became. Yesterday, he carefully took a few photos and uploaded them. He also interacted with fans who left messages several times. The person next to him fiddled with it casually, not even looking for the angle to take the picture, which was ridiculous.
After I uploaded the photo, I went to play games and ignored it completely. Now I see that it has received so many likes from fans...
Why?
Facing the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the members next to Wu Shixun, Chi Jingyuan looked around, licked his lips, and winked at them:
"Maybe it's because... I'm good-looking?"
"go to hell!"
…………
After the dream concert on the 7th, EXO started to run their schedule. Because of the previous concert, many of their things and invitations were postponed to the past few days, and all their daily activities were suddenly scheduled.
It's packed to the brim.
In addition to the team schedule, a considerable amount of time is spent on personal resources that many members have also developed one after another, such as Kim Junmyun and Byun Baekhyun's "Inkigayo" MC, Byun Baekhyun's own musical,
Park Chanyeol's "Roommate", Kim Jong-in's fashion magazine shooting, etc.
It is worth mentioning that Kim Jong-in is very popular with some fashion magazine editors in Peninsula. Among EXO, he is second only to Ji Kyung-won in terms of resources in this area. Since his debut, he has taken photos for several magazines.
Then I started filming Do Kyung Soo’s TV series.
Do Kyung-soo finally received the resources for the TV series and was very serious and hard-working. Although he is not the protagonist, he has been reading scripts and studying them in his free time. He often consults with Ji Kyung-won about acting methods and techniques. He has become a bit crazy lately.
Startled.
The TV series he accepted is called "It's Okay, It's Love". It is an SBS drama co-written by Jo In-sung and Gong Hyo-jin. Both the cast and the crew, the director and the screenwriter are very strong, and Do Kyung-soo's character is considered a male.
The role of three men and four men is already very good for him who is appearing in a TV series for the first time.
When the drama was originally being cast, most of the EXO members except Ji Kyung Won attended the audition. In the end, Do Kyung Soo was chosen and successfully took the first step towards becoming an actor.
The reason why Chi Jingyuan didn't go is because he is already recognized as a representative actor of the younger generation. This role of three men and four men does not match his current identity, and the age gap between him and the protagonist is too big for him to be.
To replace Jo In Sung, even though SBS invited him, SM did not let him go without care.
If he goes, what else will the other members try on?
Chi Jingyuan has also read the script of this drama, and he feels that it is quite good. Although it lacks some potential to become a big hit, the ratings should not be very low.
However, filming a TV series during a concert schedule is really a torture. First of all, you have to negotiate the time with the crew. Do Kyung-soo also has to travel back and forth between the crew and the mainland of China. She sleeps for less than a few hours every day.
It can be considered a real risk.
I don’t know what other companies are like, but SM, currently the biggest cash cow, never refuses EXO members to receive personal resources. On the contrary, they will actively provide a lot of personal resources to help members develop.
Chi Jingyuan has been focusing on advertising and promotion these days. Because of his appearance and temperament, family reasons, and the popularity of TV series, especially because of the TV series "The Heirs",
His personal advertising resources are ranked first in the entire SM company, and the entire EXO combined does not have as many ads as him alone.
Many advertisements not only require shooting, but also have many follow-up responsibilities after the shooting, such as cooperating with publicity, providing product support, etc.
He has been so busy in the past few days working on the backlog of announcements that he has never touched the ground.
In the past two days, there have been new developments between Wu Saike and Big Hit. He spoke out through the media and SNS in Xia Kingdom. In addition to reiterating the legitimacy and rationality of his escape, he also spread it on many SNS through his marketing account.
He received a lot of news and uploaded many photos of him being ostracized and isolated to prove himself.
But Chi Jingyuan also took the time to look at those photos. Most of them were photos of him and other members chatting lively together during the trip, while he was sitting alone next to them. With the accompanying text, they looked quite desolate.
However, Chi Jingyuan, as an expert, knows very well that this kind of photos are too common. He himself often plays game consoles by himself during the trip. The same goes for other members. They often play with mobile phones or think about things alone.
You can easily find a lot of these 'exclusion pictures' among photos of EXO.
Although this kind of out-of-context picture is ridiculous when you think about it, a group of Wu's fans really believed it and began to change their stance and speak out for him on the Internet, making various remarks in support of him.
It's just that the photos alone are not very convincing, and I don't know if Wu Sike really has other shocking information in his hand because he gave so many eye-catching reasons when he sued.
After a few days, the popularity of this matter in the peninsula is slowly decreasing. Except for BTS fans, other passers-by are paying less attention. After all, BTS is now a second- and third-tier group. Although Wu is a popular member
But it's not that high. Bighit is just a small company.
But Chi Jingyuan found on the mainland that Xia Guo's popularity was still quite high. There were all kinds of breaking news posts, clarifying posts, whitewashing posts, supporting posts, and insulting posts, which made him enjoy watching them.
It has turned into a wonderful soap opera.
Amidst all the turmoil, June 12th arrived.
The temperature has obviously increased a lot in the past two days. It is estimated to be 30 degrees today. The sun is hanging in the sky and baking the ground, making people feel very hot. It is the afternoon and there are not many roads nearby.
pedestrian.
Chi Jingyuan was wearing white and blue Fatty co-branded short-sleeved shorts and sneakers, carrying a shoulder bag, a mask and a Doremon baseball cap and other camouflage suits. He stood under the shade of a tree beside the alley near the JYP building, holding
A message was sent on the phone.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Ziyu appeared in Chi Jingyuan's field of vision. She walked quickly from the direction of the JYP building. When she saw Chi Jingyuan's figure, she smiled suddenly and sped up.
He trotted over quickly, swinging his legs.
She was wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants. The T-shirt had a silly smiling pattern of a baby bear drawn on it, which was so childish.
Her hair was not tied up. It was originally flowing smoothly on both sides of her head, but as she started running, it became messy along the way.
Zhou Ziyu ran to Chi Jingyuan, first smiled at him, and then quickly lowered his head to straighten the messed up hair with a slight breath.
She rushed to the company after school at noon. After taking a vocal class, she has been practicing dancing in the practice room. During her break, she suddenly received a message from Chi Jingyuan asking if she was in the company and was free. She was stunned for a moment.
I quickly replied.
Then I became a little anxious.
Although he sends several messages every few days, Zhou Ziyu and Chi Jingyuan have not met in real life since the last concert.
At that time, she rejected the suggestion from Kong Xue's two friends to contact Chi Jingyuan to go backstage, but in fact she really wanted to get closer because the shock she felt after watching the performance was really unforgettable.
To this day, this feeling still comes to mind from time to time.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, she received a message from Chi Jingyuan. After talking to her friend, she hurried over, feeling a little happy and expectant along the way.
"Why are you running in such a hurry?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at her like this, glanced at her and said angrily, then took the shoulder bag in front of him, unzipped it, took out a gift box and handed it to Zhou Ziyu: "Then.
"
This is a wrapped gift box, which doesn't look very big. The black wrapping paper is neatly wrapped with a light pink ribbon.
“…”
Zhou Ziyu's expression changed slightly. After a moment of dullness, he took it with a happy face. He looked at it carefully and looked up at Chi Jingyuan with a deliberately confused look: "Why are you giving me a gift?"
"Isn't your birthday on June 14th? Did I remember it wrong?" Chi Jingyuan frowned and looked at her.
"How do you know my birthday is June 14th?"
Zhou Ziyu crossed his arms and held the gift box on his chest. Zhou Ziyu looked at Chi Jingyuan, blinking his big eyes, and his pupils looked a little incomprehensible.
"Didn't you mention it once when we were chatting last year? I wrote it down at the time..."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips, and then looked at Zhou Ziyu with contempt, as if he was looking at a fool: "And what are you pretending to be there? I have been mentioning every few text messages sent in the past two days.
On June 14th...are you hinting? Tzuyuxi, you have already made it clear, okay? Can you please stop being so childish and treating me as an idiot?"
"...Pfft...hehehehehehe..." Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and held it in for a while, her entire face stiffened, and after a few twitches at the corners of her mouth, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter.
Her eyes were crooked, and her smiling mouth showed neat little white teeth. Although she looked a bit silly, her whole face was obviously filled with happy emotions. Her face showed both joy and the feeling that her tricks were ignored.
Sorry to expose the little embarrassment.
The hair that had been messed up due to running had just been sorted, and now a few dull hairs were unknowingly sticking up on her head. Together with that pure smile, Zhou Ziyu's whole person looked very lively.
"Well, I won't be free on June 14th. We have a concert in Xia Guojiang City that day. It's probably the 15th or 16th when I get back. I'll give you the gift in advance."
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her happy look, shook his head and explained.
"Thank you, Jingyuan Xi!" Zhou Ziyu smiled sweetly at her.
"Okay, I'll leave first after the gift is given. You should go back quickly and be careful not to get caught by the teacher." Chi Jingyuan didn't mean to talk more. After handing the gift to her, he left.
"Ah, are you leaving so soon?"
Zhou Ziyu's smile faded when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "How about... how about I buy you a drink."
"No need, we are flying to Xia Country in the evening. I have an advertising case to run later, so I took some time to walk over here. The agent is still waiting for me..."
Chi Jingyuan shook his hand, smiled at her, said goodbye and turned around to walk in the direction of SM.
Looking at the back of Chi Jingyuan who left neatly, Zhou Ziyu was a little unresponsive and opened his mouth to say something, such as 'goodbye' and 'come on'.
But before she could think of what to say, Chi Jingyuan, who had walked three or four meters away, suddenly turned around, blinked, looked at her, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "By the way, I almost forgot to say...Happy birthday
, it shouldn’t matter if it’s two days in advance.”
"I'm leaving."
Without waiting for Zhou Ziyu to respond, he turned around again and walked forward, waving his hands casually behind him, and gradually quickened his pace.
Until the end, Zhou Ziyu didn't think about what to say. She just held the gift tightly, stood in the shade of the tree, pursed her lips, and stared at Chi Jingyuan's leaving back with her big eyes until he disappeared around the corner.
