Looking at this photo, it feels like I am being looked at with a smile by Bae Joo Hyun, looking up and down.
After looking at her in the photo for two seconds, Chi Jingyuan's lips slightly turned upward without realizing it, which was inexplicably synchronized with Bae Zhuhyun on the screen.
The mood that had always been a bit gloomy and irritable suddenly became much relieved.
Chi Jingyuan could feel the other party's concern and comfort, it was not deliberate and seemed very natural.
Needless to say, Bae Joo Hyun's selfie with a cheeky face is really pretty. Her face is pure and fair with light makeup, and the reflection of sweat still remains on both sides of her cheeks. Her wide-open eyes are very smart, and there is also a sense of exploration and joy in them.
Caring eyes.
After clicking Save, he lay on the bed, held up his phone and typed quickly to reply: "How are you looking? What did you find?"
Pei Zhuxuan replied quickly, they may have finished the practice: "I noticed that you are in a better mood."
"So confident in yourself?"
"Guilty! (laughing)"
Chi Jingyuan inadvertently glanced at the two people on the bed next to him, sat up a little, and started chatting with Pei Zhuxuan: "It's already two o'clock, are you still practicing so late?"
"Well, because the debut date has been advanced too much, a lot of preparations have not been completed yet, so I have been busy until late every day in the last few days... But today is over, we will go back to rest after tidying up."
"Then go back early. It's easy to get acne with this kind of work and rest..." Chi Jingyuan smiled and pressed the phone screen: "By the way, I watched the dance video of you and Seulgi's "Be Natural". It's better than mine.
It’s better than imagined.”
"Be Natural", a collaboration between Bae Joo Hyun and Kang Seul Gi, was uploaded online by SM on the 16th, not as members of a new girl group, but as SM rookies.
Chi Jingyuan watched it the day before yesterday and felt pretty good. Surprisingly, both of them digested this style very well. In the video, Pei Zhuhyun has long brown hair, a waist-baring and semi-shoulderless black top, and her legs
Wearing half leather pants, it really looks a bit sexy.
The most important thing is that there was no embarrassing scene that Chi Jingyuan imagined, where she was sitting on a chair and stretching her legs to dance, but her feet couldn't touch the ground.
"You're the one who has acne! (beat)"
"What did you imagine it was like?"
Two text messages were sent in succession, and Chi Jingyuan could probably guess her current expression.
"Go back and rest early. If you don't sleep, you will really get acne. I'm going to sleep too..."
Chi Jingyuan first replied, and then sent another:
"That's what you look like."
…………
"Unnie, who are you talking to?"
As soon as Jiang Seulgi entered the practice room after returning from the bathroom, she saw Bae Zhuhyun sitting on the floor holding a mobile phone and smiling happily. She couldn't help but walked over curiously and bent down to look at her and asked.
"He Jingyuan, didn't XO have an accident today? I want to ask how he is doing now."
Pei Zhuhyun switched the chat interface to the screensaver with a swipe of her hand, raised her head and smiled naturally and replied.
"Mom, he actually replied to you? I sent him a concerned text message in the afternoon and he hasn't replied to me yet..."
Jiang Seulqi's eyes widened in surprise when she heard that, and then she pursed her lips: "I thought he didn't reply because he was busy with things today or was in a bad mood, but... Unnie is still different.
ah."
She understood it as soon as she heard it, glanced at Pei Zhuxuan, and her tone was a little sour.
"What's the difference? They just went back to the dormitory to get ready for bed when I sent the message, so I just responded by the way."
Bae Zhuhyun blinked, denied softly and comforted Jiang Seulqi. With a smile on her lips, she stood up and stretched comfortably. While her hands were still raised in the air, she glanced around and urged: "Okay.
I'm ready to go back, but why haven't the other two come back yet? If I rest later, I might get acne..."
…
In the evening, several managers had a meeting at the company and didn't come back until very late. Early the next morning, the members were called out by Lee Seung-hwan to continue going to the company to rehearse the concert repertoire.
To be honest, the more we practice, the worse the atmosphere in the team becomes.
After everyone had a night's rest, everyone's mood eased a lot. At the beginning of the practice, the atmosphere was good and a few members could still laugh. However, as time went by, no one smiled.
It is obviously something that has been practiced countless times before, but now Luhan needs to do it all over again because Luhan is alone. The workload is still very heavy and everyone is very tired.
Especially after Luhan left yesterday, Xia Guo posted two consecutive blog posts saying "I'm home" while still wearing a scarf, which received widespread heated discussion and support from many fans. Many people in EXO who knew the news were
The more I think about it, the more panicked I feel.
He happily went back to filming, but here we were exhausted and rehearsed to make up for his mistakes.
Seeing that the members' movements were getting harder and harder, and everyone was already very tired, the dance teacher stopped them and announced a break. A few heavy breathing sounds broke the increasingly tense atmosphere.
Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to go over and took drinks from the refrigerator and distributed one bottle to the people next to him. After he was done with it, he sat next to him and was about to take a drink of water. He took out his phone to see the reaction outside today when a message suddenly came over.
, he took one look, wiped his sweat, put the drink aside and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the practice room and looked to the right, he saw Kim Taeyeon smiling and waving to him quickly. Chi Jingyuan also smiled and walked over quickly.
"Why did Noona come to the company today? Isn't Girls' Generation on vacation?"
He walked up to her and gave her a gentle palm kiss. Chi Jingyuan felt a little tired and leaned against the wall next to him. He looked at her lazily and asked.
Chi Kyung Won had nothing to do with Taeyeon and Sunny before. From what they said, Girls’ Generation ended their last concert of their Japan tour on July 13th, and was put on leave by the company after that. Those who have the money will go on schedule.
, if not, just rest directly.
"I came here specifically to see you. Something big happened to your XO... He didn't reply even though he sent me messages. Are you touched that Nuna cares about you so much?"
Kim Taeyeon wore light makeup, her hair was dyed black and tied into a ponytail behind her head. She looked very casual with white short-sleeved denim shorts and sneakers. She opened her eyes and looked up at Chi Jingyuan. Although she was not tall, she was very imposing.
It's quite sufficient.
But after looking at her for a few times, she figured it out on her own. She covered her mouth and smiled twice before waving her hands: "Actually, our TTS came to the company for a meeting today. I thought you should be in the company too, so I came over to take a look."
"How is it? Is it a big impact?"
Sighing, Chi Jingyuan didn't hide anything and nodded: "It's quite big. The next concert will be less than a week away. I don't know how long I will be busy just rehearsing the dance..."
"I don't know how many of our fans have left. I thought seeing it would affect my mood, so I haven't gone to see it."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about this kind of thing. This is how idol groups are. Although we didn't have this kind of situation when we were teenagers, I've seen it a lot over the years since we debuted..."
Taeyeon sighed with emotion as a senior who had experienced ups and downs. She stood up on tiptoes and patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder to comfort her. She then extended an invitation: "If you're in a bad mood, do you want to go have some drinks tonight?"
"Still drinking? Do you think I'm drinking again?" Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He glanced at Kim Taeyeon who was laughing out loud, thought about it and refused: "Let's forget it for a few days.
, lately we should be practicing until one or two in the morning every day, maybe in a few days."
"Too."
Kim Taeyeon nodded, then grinned and raised her right hand: "Call!"
After laughing, Chi Jingyuan also stretched out his right hand to bump with her:
"call."
………
Chi Jingyuan's mood has improved a lot because of the concern of many friends and relatives. EXO members are also restricted by the company not to express any opinions to the outside world. They hide in the practice room and rehearse again, as if they are isolated from the world.
Same.
But the matter of Luhan quitting the team will not stop fermenting just because they remain silent.
On the contrary, with the passage of time, the impact of this incident has been spreading rapidly. Whether it is on the peninsula or in Xia Kingdom, there are quarrels with fans on the Internet and in private.
Especially this incident is a big blow to all EXO fans.
"I stopped being a fan and will no longer be a fan of EXO."
"Why?"
"I am a fan, the only one in the group. Can I still be called EXO if there is one less person?"
Similar conversations and thoughts appeared among countless XO fans.
For many fans, the withdrawal of any member, no matter whether the popularity is high or low, will cause irreparable damage to the team, because from the moment he withdraws, the originally integrated group will no longer be complete and will make the team
It is difficult for fans to control themselves and produce a feeling of "unsatisfactory".
This feeling greatly affects Tuan fans’ enthusiasm and perception of the group.
Like TVXQ in the past, after the breakup, the huge fan base was immediately divided into several factions such as Yui 5, Yui 2, and Yui 3. They were very hostile to each other, and they even rejected the other side even more than the anti-fans.
Now that EXO has quit the group, the fan base has been split in an instant. Naturally, they are divided into different factions. Those who support Luhan and those who are hostile to Luhan. Even though the number of the former is small in comparison, they still support each other.
There are constant quarrels, and fans quit every day because they are sad and disappointed.
At the same time, starting from the second day after the incident occurred, many people with different agendas began to try to stir up the troubled waters on the Internet, posting so-called secrets that may be true or false.
Under the guidance of some thoughtful people, they unknowingly poured black water on Chi Jingyuan. Several posts in several high-traffic forums claiming to be true revelations from insiders were very popular.
"In-depth analysis of the reasons why Luhan quit the group, secret revelations from insiders"
"Do you know why Luhan left? He actually made it very clear in the indictment, because SM couldn't provide a development plan. What does that mean? It's simply that the company couldn't give him enough resources."
"EXO is so popular and Luhan is so popular. Why can't a company as big as SM give him the resources he wants? It's very simple. The best resources are all given to the royal family in the team first, and the rest are picked up first.
Naturally, he cannot be satisfied with the resources he has to wait for.”
"Then who is this royal family? In fact, it's very obvious, it's EXO's popular Wang Yuan."
"Actually, I quite like Yuan. He does play a very important role in the team. Especially the song "Roar" is crucial. Without that song, EXO would not be as popular as it is today."
"In this mini-two, several of his self-composed songs are also very good. Coupled with his own excellent personal qualities, such as the title of 'boy group beauty' that has long been confirmed in the fan circle, he can
Being so popular in a group like EXO, which is close to the top, is well deserved. At least there are many fans of other groups around me. Even if they don’t like XO, it’s hard to have a bad feeling towards Yuan. The popularity among people is really great.
"
"But why he is so popular has a lot to do with the fact that he has received a lot of personal information. Especially the two TV series "Reply" and "The Heirs" directly made his popularity rise several ranks.
There is a clear gap between him and ordinary idols. When passers-by look at him, they won’t think that he is just an ordinary idol.”
"But his influence on the team is not all positive. At least good resources are given to him first, and the rest that he doesn't want are given to other members."
"Why can he receive such good resources?"
"According to SM insiders, Chi Kyung-won's treatment within SM is very unusual. Not only in EXO, but in the entire company, he is considered a royal among royals. Even the top management of the company is very kind and polite when they meet him.
In that episode of "Golden Fishing Ground", XO members described the sitcom where Lee Soo Man greeted him. You didn't think it was a joke, right? I tell you that it was definitely not an exaggeration. This is the real situation."
"As for why he is so 'royal'... The family backgrounds of many members of EXO have been dug up by fans so far, but no one knows about Yuan's background so far. Even the composition of the family members is a secret. Only he is known
There seems to be no shortage of money. I won’t go into details here. If you are interested, you can take a look at the post I posted last time titled “Based on various materials and information, speculation about Yuan’s true family background will shock your eyes.”
"So Luhan's decision to leave has a lot to do with Yuan occupying the best resources."
"To put it harshly, it was Yuan who squeezed Luhan away."
Several posts with similar wording and language appeared in major forums, directly placing the blame for Luhan's withdrawal from the group on Chi Jingyuan's head.
What they said was either true or false, and there were many related pictures to support it, which made many fans involuntarily have opinions about Chi Jingyuan after reading it, and the public opinion was inadvertently transferred to one about Chi Jingyuan.
The source is in a very unfavorable direction.
"I have always felt that Chi Jingyuanhuang is not good enough. Tiantian's resources are so good, and SM is obviously biased."
"If it weren't for him, our Luhan Oppa would never leave. Fortunately, I liked him very much before. From now on, Yuan's life will be dark!"
"You can tell by the way he paddles when he is on a variety show. Unexpectedly, he doesn't say anything at all. It's clear that he has too much talent to even care about variety shows. His teammates don't dare to have any opinions. Tsk tsk, in the EXO team
It’s really wonderful.”
Some passers-by who were led to know the truth, and even some XO fans and Luhan fans felt enlightened after watching it, and left messages below.
But there are people who criticize, and naturally there are people who protect him. For all black posts involving Chi Jingyuan, his fans will 100% refute him below, and even some fans of Chi Jingyuan will become furious and emotional after seeing these posts that distort the facts.
The tone is very bad.
"Fuck you, Xiba. Although I don't know the specific situation, Yuan's family conditions are indeed good. This is something that many old fans of EXO and Yuan know. Why, if the family has money, they are royalty? Luhan wants to make more money.
Who can stop us from leaving? Can XXX be blamed on us?"
"I laughed to death after watching it. I don't know how imbecile you can be to make up such ridiculous black stuff. You are still in SM. Why don't you SM try to get a leading role in "The Heirs"? Let's see if people ignore you.
?Old fans all know that Yuan’s family is indeed very good. He contacted many resources by himself and did not take up the company’s resources at all. Are you going to SM to pick up a full-line spokesperson for LG? You are kidding.”
"Not only does he not hoard the resources of his teammates, on the contrary, Yuan's existence has greatly boosted the popularity and popularity of the EXO group."
"Idiot, without Yuan, EXO disbanded the year they debuted, you're mentally retarded."
Chi Jingyuan has a huge number of fans, and they are very united and their fighting ability is absolutely unmatched. Any post that involves attacking him will be swarmed by Yuan fans everywhere to refute and reply, and many of them even rise to the level of insults and personal attacks.
situation.
It's just that the more you argue and attack each other online, the more eye-catching it is. Even if the fans tell the facts and analyze the truth very clearly, many people don't care about the truth and they just join in the fun. They will only
Believe what you want to believe. Conspiracy theories and quarrels are definitely more popular than harmony.
Under the guidance of this trend, Chi Jingyuan has received a lot of attacks on the Internet in recent days. Some of the comments made EXO fans and other members doubtful.
Even if they don't actually believe it, what if this can allow XO or the members who are their fans to have more personal resources?
"...Fortunately, I liked him very much before, but I don't want to live my whole life in darkness from now on!"
Looking at this very offensive message displayed on the phone screen, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, frowned. She felt that the online public opinion trend in the past two days was a little wrong, so she took her phone and switched to Contacts.
I wanted to call Chi Jingyuan again, but I was a little hesitant.
Zhou Ziyu knew the news when Luhan ran away the day before yesterday, and took the initiative to send a concerned text message to Chi Jingyuan. However, the reply she had been anxiously waiting for did not come for a long time, as if the other party did not see it.
She also wanted something like this to happen to EXO. Chi Jingyuan would definitely be very busy and in a bad mood, so she was afraid of causing trouble to him, so she did not continue to send text messages and just waited silently while watching the situation online.
develop.
But the public opinion on the Internet has been a bit wrong in the past two days. I don’t know when Luhan’s escape was linked to Chi Jingyuan. Especially today, many people posted online to attack him, and many of the words they said were very ugly.
Although Yuan fans will soon swarm in and scold the poster, Zhou Ziyu is still very worried when he sees it.
She hesitated for a while while sliding her finger across the screen. She looked at her watch and it was already almost midnight. After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind. She glanced at the other roommates in the same room secretly, put on her shoes and walked out of the room.
He went to the toilet, pursed his lips and dialed Chi Jingyuan's phone number.
"Your eyes, nose, lips..." The ringtone rang for a while but no one answered it. Just when Zhou Ziyu was a little disappointed, the call was suddenly connected.
"Hello?" A familiar voice came over, and she knew it was Chi Jingyuan's voice as soon as she heard it. At this time, the other person seemed to be panting and seemed to have just finished exercising.
"Hey..." Because some of her roommates had already gone to bed, she lowered her voice even in the toilet.
After responding, she didn't seem to know what to do anymore, and she somehow forgot all the things she had just thought about in an instant.
"..." After a brief silence, Chi Jingyuan's annoyed voice came from the phone: "Just hello? I'm waiting for your follow-up? What's the matter with calling me so late? Tzuyu xi
.”
"Um..." Zhou Ziyu suddenly felt a lot more at ease when she heard this familiar tone. After a moment, she said softly: "I just want to ask how you are doing now. Something like that happened to EXO. In the past two days,
There are also…”
Before she could finish speaking, the other party suddenly hung up the phone.
Zhou Ziyu held the phone in front of her and looked at the hung up call, a little stunned. She opened her mouth slightly and thought about whether she had said something wrong just now or if something happened to the other party.
Just when she was feeling grand, Chi Jingyuan suddenly gave him a photo directly.
It is a selfie of the upper body. In the photo, Chi Jingyuan is wearing white short-sleeved shirts, and his nose and cheeks are covered with sweat. His bangs are also wet and stuck to his forehead. At a glance, it is obvious that he was practicing an intense dance just now.
At this time, he deliberately frowned and looked sad, but when Zhou Ziyu saw it, the corners of his mouth curled up and he couldn't help but laugh softly.
Because the grimace was exactly the same as the selfie she sent to the other party some time ago, Chi Jingyuan was obviously imitating her.
There is a caption below the photo: This is what I look like now.
Before he could take a closer look, the other party called again, and Zhou Ziyu quickly answered the call:
"You see, I'm so miserable now, just as miserable as you were before." After the call was connected, Chi Jingyuan deliberately had a miserable tone.
"Hey, I saw it, it's pretty miserable..." Zhou Ziyu laughed. She was originally worried about Chi Jingyuan's situation, but after seeing this funny selfie, she felt much more at ease and her mood changed.
It was much more relaxed and comfortable.
After replying, she added, "Are you still in the practice room at this late hour?"
"Well, I have to rehearse the songs and moves for the concert these days, and I have to be busy until two or three o'clock every day." Chi Jingyuan answered a few words casually, and then asked proactively: "You are calling me so late because you care about me.
?Is there anything else?"
"Yeah." Zhou Ziyu responded softly. After a two-second pause, he talked about what he had seen in the past two days: "I saw a lot of people slandering you today and saying a lot of unpleasant things..."
"I thought you were in an emergency when you called me so late. I even paused the practice..." Chi Jingyuan took a breath, laughed and said breathlessly: "You saw it too... Then you
Do you think the revelations on the Internet are true or false?”
After hearing the first sentence, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but purse her lips and blink her eyes, feeling a little happy. After hearing the second sentence, she blurted out without even thinking: "It must be fake, so there's no need to ask."
"Then what if I tell you that what they said is true?" Chi Jingyuan's reply surprised her.
"Forehead……"
This question made Zhou Ziyu hesitate, but after thinking for two seconds, she quickly said firmly: "Then you must have a reason..."
"Hey, you're helping me but not taking care of yourself, Ziyuxi, I didn't realize you were like this..." Chi Jingyuan laughed out loud on the phone, and his voice sounded a little cheerful.
He didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Thanks, I'm just kidding. Most of the things mentioned on the Internet are fake. Don't worry about it. I'm fine here and there's no problem. You can go to bed early. I'll be back soon.
go back to work."
When Chi Jingyuan said goodbye and was about to hang up the phone, he seemed to suddenly remember something and reminded him, "By the way, have you used the facial mask today?"
Zhou Ziyu, who had been smiling all the time and was about to say goodbye, couldn't hold it back when he heard the last part. His expression suddenly collapsed and asked angrily, "I use it every day...what do you mean?"
"That's what you think...it's dead."
A 'beep' sound came from the phone to end the call. Zhou Ziyu wrinkled her nose while looking at the screen, hummed softly and prepared to walk out of the bathroom.
But as soon as she took a step, she turned back, pretended to rush into the water, and then walked out briskly.
…
On the other side, Chi Jingyuan stood in the corridor outside the practice room. After hanging up the phone, the smile on his face gradually dissipated. He looked at the shining screen of his mobile phone and frowned calmly.
