With a bang, Chi Jingyuan got into the car and closed the door. The howling of the wind outside was immediately reduced a lot by the sealed car door, and the entire car suddenly became quiet.
He had just taken an overnight flight from Hong Kong Island back to the peninsula. He and his assistant were picked up by Park Jae-hyun and then returned all the way from Incheon Airport. When he was about to drive to Gangnam District, he sent a message to Bae Zhuhyun and learned that she was still in the company at this time.
She stayed there, so he drove directly to the SM building and picked her up.
Thanks to the late hour, there were not many vehicles and the road conditions were very good. They drove very fast along the way. Even so, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. There were not many people on the streets they passed. Occasionally, there were low sounds.
The roar of the engine swept away.
Cui Zhichang, who was driving the car, and Park Jaehyun, the co-pilot, didn't even ask Chi Jingyuan what he was doing at the company. After seeing Bae Zhuhyun get in the car, they just said hello in response, glanced in the rearview mirror, and remained silent to wait for Chi.
Jing Yuan ordered without any surprise.
As Chi Jingyuan's assistants and managers, they are already very familiar with this kind of thing. After such a long time, they have become very transparent.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Pei Zhuhyun who had just received it.
Today she was not wearing a hat, and her shawl-long hair was covering her face, blocking most of her profile so that her expression could not be clearly seen. She wore a pure black cashmere sweater with a plaid pattern jacket on top, dark casual pants and a pair of light
White sneakers.
Although the outfit is not very exquisite, it looks quite comfortable, and the hem of the coat covers a lot of her thighs, making her look a bit petite.
After getting in the car, she first said hello softly to the two people in front of her, then stared at Chi Jingyuan for a few seconds, then took the initiative to sit by the left window, lowered her head and started playing with her fingers.
Don't even say anything.
It was as if Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to call her out.
But after taking a look at the two brothers in front, Chi Jingyuan could understand.
I'm not used to expressing some emotions in front of my teammates, let alone in front of two outsiders.
"Brother, go..." Chi Jingyuan briefly considered for two seconds and directly said a location, while Cui Zhichang nodded without saying a word and started the car directly.
This is a small park near their EXO dormitory in JB District. Anyway, Bae Zhuhyun said in a text message that she wanted to go out for a walk, so she just went there for a walk. It happened that Red Velvet's dormitory was not far from here.
Speaking of which, this is what Park Chanyeol told Ji Kyungwon in a previous chat, saying that he usually goes there to hang out when he is on a date with friends, and he is quite famous among EXO members.
Hearing this place name, Pei Zhuxuan didn't say anything. She glanced at him quietly, then quickly turned around and continued playing with her nails.
…………
When getting out of the car, Park Jae-hyun winked at Chi Jingyuan, indicating that they were waiting for him. Chi Jingyuan nodded, closed the door, and took the lead to walk to the park next to him.
This is a small public park. Residents who live in nearby communities and apartments usually come here to take a walk after washing. The small fountain in the center is very popular when the weather is hot.
The lush trees that were originally planted around them have become much bleak in winter, and they look a bit lonely standing side by side.
One heavy and one light, two completely different footsteps sounded from far to near. Chi Jingyuan walked in front, and Pei Zhuxuan followed step by step, but at this time she was no longer burying her head like she had just been in the car.
, instead he raised his head and kept staring at the back of the person in front of him, the light in his eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.
When he reached the center of the park, Chi Jingyuan slowly slowed down. He glanced around and found that there was not a single person in the entire park. It was quite deserted and the temperature was a bit low.
He also stopped when he heard the footsteps behind him, tightened his collar, and was about to turn around and take the initiative to break the silence and say a few words casually: "Well, by the way, tonight..."
But when he just opened his mouth and didn't say a word, and when he didn't have time to turn around, he felt a figure rush from behind and directly press against him. A sudden force hit him and shook him slightly, and then
He felt like he was being hugged from behind.
Pei Zhuxuan hugged him tightly, feeling that her body was still shaking a little. She put her hands around his waist very hard, and her head was pressed against his back, and she could feel the touch clearly even through thick clothes.
Chi Jingyuan, who was suddenly hugged, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Pei Zhuxuan didn't say a word, and just hit the ball with such emotion. Feeling her trembling body and strangling arms, he could
Feel the turbulent emotions and tension in the other person's heart.
Bae Zhuhyun, who has a slow-tempered personality, can't control herself and takes the initiative to do this, which shows how turbulent her emotions are under her pretending to be calm from just now.
Of course Chi Jingyuan would not ask ‘What’s wrong with you?’.
At the MAMA venue, he already understood something when he received the text message.
He was startled for a moment, raised his hands, and stood there quietly without making a sound. At this moment in the silent park, the only thing that could be heard was the heartbeat of the two people who were very close to each other.
It's just that she tightened it too tightly, making Chi Jingyuan a little breathless. He stretched out his hand to try to break apart Pei Zhuhyun's hands that were clasped together in front of him.
I tried it twice and it didn't work.
I don’t know whether it was because I was too nervous and excited, or because I was afraid that he would suddenly fly away, or something else, but Pei Zhuhyun held his hands a little too hard, and even in the dark park, she could vaguely see the dim lights.
Her fingers clasped together turned white from too much force.
A gust of cold wind stung his face and hands, which made his face and hands feel a little cold. Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to care whether it was uncomfortable or not. He breathed out softly and put his hand on Pei Zhuxun's to keep her warm. At that moment
A cold and trembling touch was transmitted from the nerves to my mind.
One stood in front, covering the other's hands, while the other held his head tightly from behind.
After a long time, he felt that Pei Zhuxun behind him seemed to have calmed down a little. Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, looked at the hands covered by him in front of him, and chuckled: "Senior, are you... lighting up for me?
"
"boom……"
Pei Zhuxuan didn't make a sound, she just hit him on the back with her head and made a muffled sound. Her thoughts and response were already obvious.
She fell into silence again, feeling the temperature on her body silently for a while. Pei Zhuxuan put her head on Chi Jingyuan's clothes, and her voice was muffled: "Why...why do you want to write what I said into the lyrics?"
inside."
Now thinking back to the uncontrollable emotions that surged through his body when he heard "Let It Be" just now, Bae Joo Hyun's body is still warm.
The feeling that her whole body was warm, her heart was beating, and her blood was surging in her brain was really fascinating to her.
She made various guesses in her mind and made some judgments of her own, but she still wanted to ask.
"Well...actually I didn't write what you said into the lyrics..."
Chi Jingyuan chuckled and tapped Pei Zhuxuan's hand twice: "This song was born because I heard what you said."
"..."
After the words were spoken, Chi Jingyuan clearly felt Pei Zhuxuan tremble slightly from behind, and her cheek rubbed against his back.
"Then do you know that doing this will..." Her muffled voice came from behind, but she stopped mid-sentence. The next words seemed a bit difficult to say, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
Although she didn't finish speaking, she felt that the other party should understand what she meant.
"What do you know? I just wrote a song, I didn't think too much..."
However, instead of meeting Pei Zhuhyun's expectations, Chi Jingyuan's somewhat confused voice came from the front, his tone was very surprised, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
The natural tone made her body stiffen, the temperature in her heart suddenly cooled down a lot, and the hands tightly clasped around each other could not help but relax a little.
I thought I could understand what she was thinking, but that kind of tacit understanding did not appear. Instead, I looked like I didn't understand what she was talking about at all.
I don't know why, but a feeling that I was completely wishful thinking suddenly enveloped my whole body, making me feel a little empty and cool. It was really uncomfortable.
Chi Jingyuan suddenly gently opened her clasped hands, and quickly turned around to face her directly. Pei Zhuxuan raised her head in confusion and met his gaze.
At this moment, Jianchi Jingyuan squatted down, put his hands around Pei Zhuxuan's waist, and hugged her whole body.
It was exactly the same as how Bae Zhuhyun hugged him just now, except that one was from the back and this time it was face to face.
"Ah..." Suddenly she felt like she had lost her center of gravity, and her body suddenly lifted up into the air. Pei Zhuxuan was so frightened that she trembled all over and screamed. The feeling of weightlessness made her quickly grab the life-saving straw at hand.
One hand directly hugged Chi Jingyuan's neck to prevent him from falling, and his legs naturally clamped around the other person's waist, forming a standard koala hug.
Although she was startled, Pei Zhuxun soon came to her senses. She was surprised and stared at Chi Jingyuan with some embarrassment. Although her eyes were burning, she had no intention of resisting, neither her hands nor her hands.
His legs were hung firmly on him.
"...Of course it's impossible. How could I not have thought of anything? I'm not Pabo."
Chi Jingyuan continued what he had just said.
After hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly calmed down, tightened her hands on his neck, pursed her lips and looked into his eyes with watery eyes.
Chi Jingyuan also looked into her eyes, flashing a smile: "Do you want to ask me, have you ever thought that doing this will make some people's heads empty after hearing these lyrics, and they will be confused and unable to calm down.
"
"I didn't expect that doing this would make her unable to control her feelings. She would not go back to the dormitory in the middle of the night and would have to meet someone who was attending an event on Hong Kong Island a few hours ago."
"Do you want to ask me, have you ever thought that doing this would make her think wildly and have all kinds of reverie in her mind that would make her unable to calm down at all, and even lead to some ridiculous misunderstandings?"
At the end of the sentence, Chi Jingyuan blinked and tilted his head slightly: "Really?"
"Yes." At this time, Pei Zhuxuan was no longer flustered and silent, nor did she mean to avoid it. She also did not deny that the person he was talking about was her, she just looked at him quietly like that.
She gently shook her bangs on her forehead, craned her neck and stared at Chi Jingyuan's eyes without blinking, bit her lower lip and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan suddenly grinned, raised his eyes and thought for a second, then pursed his lips: "I really didn't think of so much beforehand, but there is one thing..."
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head and leaned towards Pei Zhuxuan's cheek,
He clearly felt that the other person's body suddenly froze.
Pei Zhuxuan was nervously and seriously waiting for his answer, but suddenly she felt Chi Jingyuan's face slowly approaching her. She immediately seemed to have a premonition of what he was going to do, and her heart beat wildly, but no matter whether it was her body
There was still no intention of resisting in my mind. Although my body temperature suddenly rose a lot, my heart was pounding, but I still held him and stared into his eyes motionless.
Just when Pei Zhuxun was getting closer and closer, Chi Jingyuan's head suddenly turned in the opposite direction, and the two people's cheeks passed by each other, and they stopped in her ear and said softly: "Are you there?"
Maybe...this...isn't a misunderstanding?"
Suddenly, Pei Zhuxuan felt her heart stop for a beat, her energy and blood surged up, and she was full of heat.
After saying this, there was no follow-up. At this time, Chi Jingyuan shook his head, squatted down, let go and put Pei Zhuxuan down. He watched Pei Zhuxuan let go of his hands and feet and stood still on the ground like a puppet, and he squinted his eyes with a smile.
He looked at each other for a moment, then stood up and waved his hands casually, turned around and prepared to take two more steps forward:
"Okay, everyone hugged us and we are done... Although it sounds romantic now, in fact, when I was writing the song, it was just the feeling, I didn't think about it..."
Before he could finish speaking, he had only been standing on the ground for a short time. Pei Zhuxuan, who had been looking at him in a daze just now, raised his head and stared at him, and suddenly pulled him hard, causing his back body to jerk.
He took a step forward, put his arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes and pressed his lips directly against him.
His actions are impulsive yet calm, his behavior is reckless yet serious, his emotions are wild yet profound.
Chi Jingyuan's unfinished words were immediately stuffed back. He looked at the closed but slightly trembling eyes and eyelashes close at hand, felt the softness and warmth on his lips, and reached out to hug him.
, the body slowly bent a little.
The entire park was so clear that no other people could be seen. The sound of the wind blowing the treetops made the atmosphere even more peaceful. The cold wind and moonlight wandered around for a long time and found nothing. In the end, they could only find these two hugging each other.
men and women.
I don’t know how long it took for the two people to separate. What’s interesting is that neither Chi Jingyuan nor Bae Zhuhyun was shy. After they separated, the two people naturally raised their heads and lowered their heads, both pursed their lips and kept quiet.
Looking at each other quietly, the moonlight shines in his own eyes, but is reflected in the pupils of the other person.
"Is it better?" Chi Jingyuan took the initiative with a smile, breaking the tranquility.
Pei Zhuxuan laughed, reached out and smoothed her slightly messy hair behind her ears, looked at him and responded softly: "What do you think."
Now, Pei Zhuhyun seems to have calmed down. She no longer has the emotional impulse just now, and she actually looks a little free and easy. However, under the light and in such a low temperature, her red face and nose make her even more cute.
"It turns out that this is why senior called me out so late..."
"Aren't you happy?" Pei Zhuxuan looked at him.
"Guilty, happy, very happy."
"I don't know which insider broke the news about our scandal. It was quite prophetic." Chi Jingyuan took a look at her face and found it a little funny: "Looking at it this way, Aili's words were really right before.
people."
"cut."
Pei Zhuxuan twisted her fingers around the tip of her hair a few times. After hearing the words, she wrinkled her nose and looked unhappy, but she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, thinking of those Yuan who used all kinds of filthy words to catch her on the Internet.
Fan, but there is a hint of rebellion and a little pride in my heart.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then separated their eyes and looked around casually. They stood there like this for a long time.
"Since Senior Zhuhyun's goal has been achieved... let's go, it's so late." Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and checked the time. If he doesn't go back now, he probably won't have to sleep at night. He can go back and wash his face and go directly to the set.
.
"Yeah." Without retorting, Pei Zhuxuan nodded lightly, walked a few steps faster with his calves and walked side by side to Chi Jingyuan. He glanced at his hand and thought about it but still didn't touch it.
.
The intimate contact just now was motivated by the out-of-control emotions that surged after hearing Chi Jingyuan's words. Tonight, all the accumulated emotions after hearing the song "Let It Be" broke out at that moment.
It all came out.
It's exciting, beautiful, and fun.
But at this time, after calming down and returning to rationality, self-esteem and reserve, Pei Zhuhyun thought of many other things.
"Should we go out and take the car directly, or should we walk back?"
"Just take a few steps. It's quite close to our dormitory. We'll be there in ten minutes."
After exchanging a few words, the two walked out of the park along the roadside and headed towards Red Velvet's dormitory.
"By the way, does it really matter if you go back so late? The manager should live with you, right?" Thinking of this incident, Chi Jingyuan asked with concern.
"The manager has something to do and hasn't stayed in the dormitory these two days... I just want to think of an excuse to tell Seulgi and the others." Bae Zhuhyun glanced at him, pursed her lips and raised her eyes as if she was thinking about what to say when she went back.
"Zhu Hyunxi, do you often lie to them?" I thought her expression was quite interesting, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.
"...No, and they are not fools. In fact, they know many things in their hearts. They just need an excuse." She looked at the road ahead and retorted leisurely.
After expressing the previously uncontrollable emotions and complicated thoughts, Pei Zhuxuan felt relaxed at this time, and the feeling of pressing the road side by side with Chi Jingyuan also made her a little happy. She put her hands in her pockets to keep warm.
He twisted his hips and kicked his calves in his signature walking posture, which was very joyful.
"That's right." She suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to look at Chi Jingyuan: "What you said last time about your return..."
This was one of the things she cared about the most these days, but she was a little angry because of the other party's malicious intent and didn't want to ask with licking her face.
But now...it doesn't matter.
"Oh, the company had a meeting to discuss EXO's comeback schedule next year. When we were agreeing on the specific time, a director of the planning department mentioned it. I didn't ask in detail, but it seems like it's almost confirmed."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and told the story of the meeting that day, but he didn't know much.
"In this way..." Although she didn't know the specific plan, she was already very satisfied with her return. Pei Zhuxuan blinked her eyes, feeling a little happy, and then asked: "What about the new member? It's Yelin,
Or Gao Eun, or someone else?"
Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and spread his hands helplessly: "I don't recognize any of the names you mentioned."
"Why are you like this?" After hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan was a little dissatisfied and glared at him as if he was avenging someone: "I have met Mingming's family several times during their concerts. I was watching twice, and every time they were like
I greeted you very respectfully, but it turned out that I didn’t take it to heart at all?”
"Really?" Chi Jingyuan recalled it. It seemed that it was because of this, but he really didn't remember the names of the trainees.
He shrugged: "I forgot, maybe they lack some memory points, and the impression they left on me is far less profound than when I first met you."
"Jinjia?" Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He slowed down and stared at her with twinkling eyes. He asked with interest: "Then what impression did I leave on you the first time?"
"Um..." It was just a casual comment just now. Now after recalling it, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered that the first impression Pei Zhuhyun left on him was actually very ordinary, regardless of body shape, temperament, and appearance. If Wu Shixun hadn't mentioned it,
He has no memory.
After pondering for two seconds, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and quickly quickened his pace: "Forget it, let's not say anything anymore."
"Ah, it's like this again, why are you so annoying?" Seeing Chi Jingyuan who seemed to be running away faster, Pei Zhuxuan's curiosity was once again suspended in the air, and she looked at his back angrily and shouted,
Then Deng Deng Deng ran up and kicked him in the calf.
Chi Jingyuan made a grimace and made a gag as if he was in pain, and made a couple of jokes to let the topic pass by.
How else to say? Short stature, average temperament, ordinary appearance, acne on the face, and a sad look?
After two kicks, Pei Zhuxuan didn't take it seriously. The two of them were laughing and chatting. She walked beside her and swung her legs. She was probably in a really good mood at this time. She was talking without realizing it.
Just hummed softly
"Dazzling light obscured by dark clouds, please illuminate me forever."
"The quiet air and gentle warm wind always accompany me through thick and thin."
As she sang, she nodded her head, and her steps moved up and down to the beat.
When Chi Jingyuan heard it, he knew that she was singing the rap in "Let It Be". The original part sounded special with Bae Zhuhyun's grandma-like rap.
"Bah bang bang..." Chi Jingyuan applauded enthusiastically, and after she finished singing, he praised her with admiration: "You sang well, much better than the rap singers in our group. You don't even know that we
How uncomfortable it was when recording.”
"Hahaha..." Pei Zhuhyun was a little happy to be praised so positively. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter. When she heard that he said such an exaggerated statement at the end, she even glanced at Chi Jingyuan with an angry look.
Smiling, she suddenly became interested again and turned her head to look at him: 'By the way, you said this song was written because of what I said, but what about the last harmony?"
In the entire song "Let It Be", apart from the lyrics that represent the deep memories of the two of them, the thing that impressed her the most was the sunshine-melting snow-like harmony at the end.
"Well...it's based on the sound of your crying." Chi Jingyuan blinked and began to imitate Pei Zhuxuan's crying sound: "wu~wu~wu~wu~, can I imitate it? It's very rhythmic.
Bar?"
"You!"
When I heard this, I remembered the two times I couldn't control my emotions and cried bitterly in front of the other party, and a burst of embarrassment rushed into my mind.
Pei Zhuxuan took out her small fist and hit him hard. When she found that Chi Jingyuan dared to run away, she immediately followed him with her sneakers on. After hitting him several times in a row, she also thought of the last line of "Let It Be".
The sound seemed slightly similar to his own cry. He lowered his head, shook his hair, and burst out laughing.
This person really made her...
The ten-minute journey arrived quickly, and when they were about to reach the street of the red velvet dormitory community, the two stopped.
Looking at Chi Jingyuan in front of him, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly fell into silence.
The happy time passed a little too fast, but when she returned to reality, her disturbing thoughts resurrected. She looked at Chi Jingyuan and then took the initiative to look away, staring at the empty wall next to her, dulled.
After a while, he said hesitantly: "Jingyuan, you and..."
But after just saying the beginning, there was no follow-up. Pei Zhuxuan took a breath and seemed to have decided something in her heart. The gentle smile returned to her face. She smoothed her hair and waved her hand to Chi Jingyuan, as if she had just just
