"Guide me and take me with you to where you live."
"My eyes cannot help but follow you even to the end of the world."
"Follow your every step and never leave my sight."
"Guide me and do not disappear even when morning comes."
The gentle and light "Butterfly Maiden" resounded throughout the Osaka Castle Theater. The nine members of XO were scattered in various locations in the venue. While singing their parts along with the accompaniment, they smiled, clapped and kept sitting with the enthusiastic fans.
The final interaction.
After today's last "Butterfly Girl" stage ended, today's concert also came to an end. EXO9 people stood in a row in the center of the main stage. The light snow that had started falling just now kept falling from the sky, dyeing it white.
While on stage, snowflakes fell on everyone from time to time. Chi Jingyuan's nose, clothes and hands were all covered with a lot of small snowflakes.
Sweat oozed from their foreheads and slowly slid down. Everyone was panting slightly. They looked up at the numerous cheering sticks that were shaking and shining in the black venue in front of them.
Today is Christmas Eve, the 24th, and it is also the last day of EXO’s three-day concert in Osaka. It is also the last of a total of 30 performances on their first tour this year.
The Osaka concert is slightly different from the previous ones. EXO has prepared several Japanese versions of songs and special stage performances. In addition to the title songs and included songs that were originally scheduled to be performed, they also
Sung two new winter songs that were just released in December, "Let It Be" and "December, 2014" which was just released through the game two days ago.
The brand new song really surprised the audience and brought the concert to a climax.
And today, it’s finally the last day.
After the members expressed their thanks and translated for them, Chi Jingyuan, the main spokesperson of the Neon Concert, stood at the center of the stage.
Because only the big lights on the ceiling of the main stage were on, only the light on the stage was brighter. All other lights in the entire venue were turned off. The silvery-white light spots looked particularly conspicuous and magnificent in the dark night.
"This is already the last song. I really feel sorry for everyone."
Looking at the countless cheering sticks shining like a bright galaxy in front of him, Chi Jingyuan began to make his final speech with some emotion. However, before he finished speaking, the audience in the stands in front of the stage suddenly began to
There is action.
I saw that many of the fluorescent sticks in the hands of countless fans in the three stands on the left, middle and right in front were suddenly extinguished, and others began to arrange and combine quickly and orderly. They were obviously organized and had rehearsed many times in advance.
In a short period of time, all the light sticks in the middle of the three stands were connected together, and countless bright or dark silver-white light spots were spelled out by the fans into a row of English characters;
"Thank you!! EXO, See You Again."
Seeing this scene, all nine members were stunned.
This is not officially organized by SM. Even Chi Jingyuan and the other members themselves did not expect that fans would do this. Obviously this is a fan of Neon to commemorate their last concert this year, and
A specially prepared parting gift to congratulate them on the successful completion of this year's tour.
An uncontrollable warmth flowed from the heart into the mind. Several members saw the scene in front of them and couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts. Their eyes immediately started to flash. For example, Byun Baekhyun, Kim Junmyeon, and Kim Minseok directly
I covered my mouth and held the microphone away, worried that no one would be moved and choked up. Several other people's faces were also full of shock, joy, and excitement. It was obvious that they were a little emotional because of the gifts from the fans at the scene.
Chi Jingyuan stood in the middle and looked at the row of letters that were shaking as bright as the Milky Way. He was stunned for a long time. He tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart. He felt his eyes were slightly moist. He shook his head gently, and the sunlight
The smile reappeared on his face, he cleared his throat, and said his last words of farewell:
"Thanks to everyone... our EXO first solo tour this year has been successfully concluded. Although the tour for more than half a year was very hard, both us and the fans have created a lot of beautiful memories together. Thank you very much for your persistence.
, I am really happy to be with EXO-L, and we will continue to walk together in the future..."
"we are one, we are EXO."
With the iconic slogans shouted, all the members showed their iconic thumbs up, and then the nine people bent down and bowed deeply together. Under the silver stars and the sincere blessings of the fans, the elevator slowly descended, and their figures
Gradually disappearing above the stage, the concert officially ends.
After Chi Jingyuan and the others left the field, the entire venue fell into darkness. However, all the fans did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they began to wave their support sticks non-stop. Everyone in the venue began to shout "we are
one" slogan.
"we are one."
"we are one."
"we are one."
After a few seconds, the big screen lit up and began to play the VCR that ended the concert, and the BGM of the VCR happened to be the last song "Butterfly Girl".
This gentle melody seems to annotate and embellish the fans' chants, making every sentence "we are one" even more beautiful.
The nine members of EXO who had already walked down the elevator heard the fans in front of them chanting in unison in the background. Even though they were separated by several floors, they could still hear clearly.
The English pronunciation of Neon fans is not very standard, but it is unusually neat and loud. Each sentence is directly transmitted into the depths of each member's heart, engraved with its own mark, and appears to be fierce and meaningful.
It would be difficult for them to forget this last scene of the last tour.
…
The next day, which was Christmas Day, the 25th, EXO took a flight back to Seoul in the morning.
The successful holding of this concert also announced that the tour that has been busy for almost a year has officially come to an end. EXO, who have been busy with this for a long time, can finally have two days of leisure.
After a flight of more than two hours, they got off the plane near noon. Chi Jingyuan and his team came out of Incheon International Airport and sat in the prepared nanny car under the watchful eyes and photos of the fans who picked them up.
I was lying on my seat a little tired.
"Hey Yigu, this concert ended suddenly, why am I still not used to it?" Wu Shixun felt exhausted, and sighed because he didn't know what he thought of.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at this idiot who was looking for trouble: "Not used to it? Don't worry, there should be a second tour next year. Then we will give you a few more stages to get used to it."
"Forget it, it's really tiring to prepare for the concert..." When I think of the time when I was preparing for the concert in the first half of this year, the memories of the hard work came to my mind instantly. Wu Shixun shook his head and said that he didn't
Said.
Glancing at him disdainfully, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something, looked at Jin Junmian in the back row and asked: "By the way, brother, the whole concert yesterday should have been filmed, right? At the end, the fans cheered for each other
Did you take a picture of the spelling scene? I liked that scene so much that I planned to save it on my phone.”
"It should have been filming. I saw the photographer, but I don't know if the scene was captured. Let's go back and ask Brother Chenghuan..." Jin Junmian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded: "That scene
It’s really awesome, I like it very much, Neon’s fans are so enthusiastic.”
Li Chenghuan was in another nanny car.
“Really enthusiastic.”
"How did you combine that word with a cheering stick? I didn't even react before it was completed..."
At the mention of this, several members of the car suddenly became interested and began to talk about it.
Chi Jingyuan just interrupted and was talking happily when his phone suddenly vibrated. He turned around and picked it up and saw that it was a message from Zhou Ziyu.
"Congratulations on the successful conclusion of Jingyuanxi's concert!"
Every time this kid has something to say, he always talks about something else at the beginning. Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and quickly replied: "What is there to congratulate? Tell me what you want to ask.
"
"Hey (smiley face), Jingyuanxi, are you free tonight?"
Today is Christmas on the 25th. The intention of Zhou Ziyu's question was obvious. However, Chi Jingyuan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "You want to give me a Christmas gift?"
"Guess! (laughing)"
I guess your size means you must have turned darker.
"But I didn't prepare a Christmas gift." Chi Jingyuan has never been in the habit of giving Christmas gifts to each other, unless it's a romantic relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend. It would be too troublesome to send gifts to ordinary friends.
He has basically not celebrated Christmas since his debut in 2012. The end of every year is the busiest time for Peninsula artists, and this year, he has spent Christmas for three consecutive years while traveling.
"Then if you invite me to dinner, treat it as a return gift."
Seeing Zhou Ziyu's reply, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. This little girl had a good idea.
He thought about today's itinerary and replied: "It's not impossible, but I have two brand activities in the evening. It should be quite late by the end of it, maybe in a few days."
"That's it..." The tone of this reply was full of disappointment.
"Have you really prepared a gift?"
"Um."
"That……"
…………
The car door was closed with a "bang." After getting in the car, Zhou Ziyu first smiled at Chi Jingyuan, and then looked curiously at Chi Jingyuan's special nanny car with her big eyes flashing.
After returning to Seoul at noon, he first went back to the dormitory to put down the salutes, and then Ji Jingyuan said goodbye to the members and started running his own solo schedule. Today is mainly about some year-end activities of several brands he endorses, including the year-end event of a manufacturer.
party, there are also two brand platforms and book signing activities.
It is true that I will be busy until very late in the evening, but the time in the afternoon is not very tight. There are a lot of gaps and intervals between the two schedules. When I was sending text messages before, I saw Zhou Ziyu’s enthusiastic joy was extinguished.
Looking very disappointed, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and decided to come to JYP for something to eat after completing an activity in the afternoon, and made an appointment with her to meet her in the car so that she could have a chance to give her some Christmas gifts.
go out.
It just so happens that I haven’t seen Zhou Ziyu in person for quite some time.
After eating just now, Park Jae-hyun drove the car to an alley near JYP. Chi Jingyuan sent a text message, naming the location and license plate, and Zhou Ziyu arrived not long after.
After seeing her sit up, her chest rising and falling, her mouth slightly open, she kept breathing lightly, and she was obviously anxious and trotting all the way over. Chi Jingyuan's eyes were fixed on the sparkling diamond headband on her head for a second, and then he took the initiative to ask.
: "Why are you running in such a hurry? Do you have to go back to the company for class later?"
"No, the afternoon dance class has just finished." Zhou Ziyu shook her head gently.
"Then why are you running in such a hurry?"
"Hehe..." She grinned twice, her white teeth very conspicuous. She smiled and rolled her eyes. She turned sideways and took out a wrapped gift from the bag she was carrying, and handed it to her with a smile.
To Chi Jingyuan: "Here you are, a Christmas gift!"
"Thanks...but I'm not kidding, I'm really not prepared."
Chi Jingyuan took it with a smile and didn't mean to open it in front of her. He took it in his hand and looked it over, then put it on his lap. Then he took a cup of hot red bean drink from the side that he had just bought during the meal and handed it to her.
Zhou Ziyu said: "Here."
"Thank you." Seeing her thank you, take the hot drink, and happily take a few sips from the cup, Chi Jingyuan's eyes turned back to the gift box on his lap: "You are such a crooked person.
Do you like Christmas?"
"That's not true." Zhou Ziyu puffed up her cheeks and raised her head, tried hard to swallow the drink in her mouth, then licked her mouth and said, "But this is very popular among many trainees in the company, and also among classmates in school.
We are exchanging gifts. I have received many Christmas gifts yesterday and today."
"So popular?" Chi Jingyuan blinked and looked up and down at Zhou Ziyu, who had a somewhat arrogant tone. He had to say that he was really discerning. This headband was quite suitable for Zhou Ziyu when he put it on.
The original feeling of youthfulness and intelligence has been enhanced with a bit of delicacy, and coupled with the already good appearance, apart from the skin color, she is also quite outstanding.
"..." Zhou Ziyu didn't reply after this question. He held a drink with a straw in his mouth and raised his head to smile reservedly at Chi Jingyuan. Although he didn't speak, he could see the smug look on his face at a glance.
Although he likes to giggle, Chi Jingyuan feels that Zhou Ziyu is really lively sometimes.
It can be seen that Zhou Ziyu was in a good mood after meeting her friends. While holding a drink, she chatted with Chi Jingyuan. She talked enthusiastically about interesting things during practice at school and company, and what progress she had made in practice.
The teacher praised her, saying that the more she spoke Korean, the better she got, etc. Anyway, she just blew it if she could. Chi Jingyuan couldn't confirm whether what she said was true or false.
In the middle, I accidentally mentioned that several senior trainees from the debut group came back to be trainees because their debut plans were cancelled.
"I think some of them are quite angry, but we rarely practice together... I heard that a senior trainee from the debut group simply stopped coming to the company and went out to work..."
"However, many people said that although the company's girl group project has been cancelled, it is estimated that they will still try to select trainees to debut in the near future, because they said that our company is a famous girl group, and it is impossible not to be a girl group.
…”
"Famous girl group artist..." Chi Jingyuan tasted the title and nodded noncommittally: "That's right."
Among the girl groups launched by JYP in recent years, the more successful ones are Wondergirls and MissA. Although MissA won a major award when they debuted, to be honest, they are not very successful.
Of course, Wondergirls had no temper at all during Girls' Generation, which was extremely popular a few years ago. It was just that the company's strategic choices were wrong, which delayed the golden period of development. After many member adjustments and replacements, today's Wondergirls, although national
The degree is still there, and the results are pretty good as long as the music is released, but the momentum is no longer what it was back then.
He feels that the value of this ‘girl group celebrity’ is a little low.
"By the way, XO's winter single "Let It Be" this year is really nice. I like this song very much!" After talking about Chi Jingyuan and EXO, Zhou Ziyu's eyes lit up in admiration.
He said: "The singing is very good and the writing is really good, especially the lyrics are also great."
"Um...thank you." Chi Jingyuan nodded and took in her praise, but still told the truth: "But the lyrics were not written by me."
"Ah? Who is that?" Zhou Ziyu was a little stunned when he heard it: "Yuan is written in the lyrics and composition. I even read it."
"Well... it was written by a friend. I just summarized it." Of course it was difficult to explain the specific situation, so Chi Jingyuan could only give a simple explanation.
"So, what your friend wrote is really good... By the way, will the song "Let It Be" be released in Chinese?"
It can be seen that Zhou Ziyu really likes this song. When she was talking, she even imitated Chi Jingyuan's last chord "wu~~" twice.
"Maybe, but it's definitely too late this year, and even if a Chinese version is released, I won't be the one to write the Chinese lyrics."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged. Even if the company wanted to give him the task of writing Chinese lyrics, he would refuse.
After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan checked the time. It was almost time for him to leave. He still had a schedule waiting for him. When he was about to leave, he thought about it and asked a special question: "Why are you celebrating the New Year this year? It's your mother who comes to see you."
you?"
"Yes, we have already agreed."
When it came to her mother coming to see her, Zhou Ziyu suddenly became more enlightened. It was obvious that the relationship between mother and daughter was very good. She nodded with a smile: "My mother will definitely bring me a lot of specialties from our place. I will share them with her when the time comes."
You a little bit."
'Keep it for yourself...' Chi Jingyuan originally blurted out something he wanted to complain about, but seeing Zhou Ziyu smiling happily, he didn't say it. Instead, he paused and nodded with a smile: "Thanks in advance.
…”
After closing the car door, Zhou Ziyu waved quickly to the car window. Soon the car started to turn and disappeared from sight at the intersection ahead. She glanced twice and then turned around. With a smile on her face, she quickly headed towards the company.
Go.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Ziyu, Chi Jingyuan in the car picked up the gift box and opened it after a few clicks. After opening it, he was a little speechless.
A white wide-mouthed mug. I don’t know what special printing was done on the cup. Zhou Ziyu DIYed a somewhat abstract Pikachu. The painting was obviously a bit rough. The originally cute and handsome electric mouse looked ugly.
Cute.
There is also a red Santa hat covering the mouth of the cup, and a big smiley face is drawn on the front of the hat with a watercolor pen. It is very festive to match the cup, and the Christmas atmosphere comes out at once.
I was a little speechless at first, but when I looked at Chi Jingyuan, I was a little infected by the smiling face and the happy atmosphere of Ugly Pikachu, and I couldn't help but laugh softly.
As expected, he is a child, and his drawing is terrible...
…
After finishing all the trips in the evening, Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory at nearly eleven o'clock. He opened the door and walked in after changing his shoes. He said hello to the brothers who were sitting on the sofa watching TV and walked around.
After checking around, I discovered that there were only five people in the dormitory including him, and nearly half of the members had not returned yet, including Oh Sehun, Park Chanyeol, and Byun Baekhyun.
Although Chi Jingyuan has just finished his schedule, it was all for his personal endorsements. Because he is so popular, he has a lot of personal schedules. In fact, EXO really didn’t have much activity after returning from Neon today, and they were disbanded in the afternoon.
.
Today is Christmas, which is also an excellent day for couples to go on a date. Those few people knew exactly what they were going to do.
The people of the peninsula attach great importance to Christmas. Not only is it a legal holiday, many merchants will also carry out heavy discount activities, and many products can carry out 1+1, that is, buy one, get one free.
This is also one of Peninsular’s favorite promotions.
There are also many events held in several landmark large-scale crowd gathering places such as Lotte World, Myeongdong Cathedral, Hyundai Department Store, Times Square, etc. These places are also places where couples will definitely check in during Christmas.
All in all, it was grand and lively.
Chi Jingyuan could go out and make an appointment with Pei Xiuzhi or someone else now, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. After three days of concerts and another day of running today, she was really tired.
I'm too lazy to run anymore.
And to be honest, I did lose some interest.
As for Bae Joo Hyun...
"Brother, didn't you go out tonight?" Chi Jingyuan passed by the living room after washing up and found Jin Junmian and Jin Zhong watching the TV with joy, and asked curiously and concerned.
"Ani, we are back." Jin Junmian replied seriously, and finally asked: "Where are you, Jingyuan?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Chi Jingyuan said nothing, made an 'OK' gesture and then returned to his room and closed the door.
After saying hello and chatting with Do Kyung-soo who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, Chi Jingyuan first placed the mug given to him by Zhou Ziyu on the bedside, and then sat on the bed and flipped through his mobile phone.
From the evening until now, many people have sent Christmas greetings, such as Son Na-eun, Jung Eun-ji, Choi Sulli, Kim Taeyeon and other very familiar friends. In particular, Son Na-eun tentatively asked if he was busy at night and if he wanted to meet up.
More obvious.
After hearing that Chi Jingyuan had a lot of schedule, he was not disappointed. He expressed his Christmas greetings with a smile and chatted a few words by the way. This kind of nature with a touch of intimacy made Chi Jingyuan feel quite good.
After scrolling through my phone for a while, I replied to all the messages from my friends that I had not had time to reply to. As I was looking back, the screen suddenly lit up, and Pei Zhuhyun sent a message.
The accompanying picture is a selfie. In the photo, she is wearing light-colored plain pajamas and two elk antlers on her head. She is holding back a smile with her lips pursed in a scissor-hand gesture. Her face is red and festive. The caption is "Christmas."
hapiness'.
Chi Jingyuan looked at this picture for a few seconds, then tapped the screen to reply quickly:
