After the concert ended, it entered the closing stage. Zhou Ziyu walked slowly down the aisle one step at a time, staying behind the crowd without being in a hurry. At the same time, like other audience members, she looked back from time to time to glance at the stage and the still-lit lights.
, the big screen displaying the EXO logo obviously seems to be a bit unfinished.
But besides that, she would take out her phone and take a look from time to time, not knowing what she wanted to see.
Suddenly, the phone in my hand vibrated. I picked it up and looked at it with joy, and my expression suddenly became vivid.
"Not yet, there are too many people and we were queuing up just now."
Chi Jingyuan just sent it not long ago, and the reply came within a few seconds. It is estimated that the girl has been looking at her phone the whole time.
"Would you like to come and take a look backstage?"
Quickly type and send. The reason why I suddenly thought of this was that in addition to the other members all going to meet friends and family, it was also because Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered that Zhou Ziyu seemed to have mentioned Yi Xun during a previous chat.
When I was young, I was very interested in the backstage of performances.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, thinking that she is alone again.
"Now? Is that okay?" There was some liveliness in his tone, and he was obviously moved.
"Where are you now?"
Even though he was standing next to the wall, he did not lean on it. Instead, he stretched his waist and stood straight. After several meters, he felt that his posture was good. At this time, Zhou Ziyu carried a small bag and pulled it to the side, covering it with both hands.
The phone was placed in front of him, his big eyes looking left and right, and from time to time he would pick up the phone and take a look.
"Which relative is this?" Jiang Seqi looked at Zhou Ziyu, smiled and nodded and asked curiously.
Even though they were wearing masks and hats, this disguise had no effect on familiar friends and close people like them. They recognized him at a glance. Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lit up just now, and his smile appeared as if he wanted to say hello.
, but then they immediately saw Zhou Ziyu who was following Chi Jingyuan with a fair face and looking over.
Although the impression was not deep in fact, and they were only trainees from other companies who were not familiar with him, because of Chi Jingyuan's relative status, they had no airs at all and waved to Zhou Ziyu with a warm smile.
At this moment, there was a burst of slightly messy footsteps from the corner ahead, and at the same time, a few words of chat in Korean were also heard. After hearing this, Zhou Ziyu quickly shut her mouth and stopped making any sound, and followed silently.
Go forward.
"How can you go back alone? Take the subway?"
Most of the people who came to the concert today were EXO fans, and they were all very familiar with Chi Jingyuan, especially since he forgot to change his clothes when he came out, which was a bit sloppy.
"Oh, that's it..." Pei Zhuxuan nodded knowingly, without feeling inappropriate at all. She seemed to feel that Zhou Ziyu behind Chi Jingyuan was secretly looking at her, and she raised her head and smiled gently at him.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at several of Ledbeibei's friends, especially Jin Yelin, who had not spoken much since they met and felt less lively than before. He noticed the emotion in her eyes when she heard "visit the day after tomorrow"
, after two seconds of pause, he took the initiative to ask: "Are you going?"
"Yeah, the main one."
"hey-hey……"
"No, of course I know them. They are members of Red Velvet. They were very popular some time ago. We also learned the dance for "Ice Cream Cake"." Zhou Ziyu shook her head in denial, and then asked curiously: "It's just
I’m curious, did any of the seniors also come to watch the concert?”
"Why, don't you know them?"
The lower body is denim shorts that don't go over the knees. The healthy calves are hanging out. Because she stands upright, the lines look a lot longer. She wears hooked flat shoes on her feet, and the white skirt is exposed at the ankles.
The edges of her socks, combined with her big bent eyes and smiling face, gave her a sense of youthfulness and liveliness.
"Hmm...it doesn't feel right." She shook her head lightly and didn't say much.
"Oh, it's break time now, and Tzuyu happens to be alone again. Let's take her to the backstage for a little tour. The trainees haven't seen her yet..."
She didn't know whether she heard the footsteps or had a tacit understanding. When Chi Jingyuan just turned around, she happened to look over. When she saw the well-disguised Chi Jingyuan, she immediately recognized him at the first sight and hurriedly recognized him.
He grinned and waved cheerfully.
"What a coincidence?"
"Anihasay..."
The two sides met each other. Pei Zhuxuan saw him at first sight, and then the three members next to him also saw Chi Jingyuan's figure and were stunned.
The two of them walked back along the aisle while chatting, keeping their voices very low. Occasionally, when they met Chi Jingyuan, an audience member who passed by and had not yet left, he would stop talking and quicken his pace to avoid being noticed by fans.
It happened to be the black short-sleeved shirt that I wore specially for the last stage of the concert. It was also black with white letters, and on the chest were a few English letters of 'EXO PLANT' and the combined logo. I didn't have time to change my clothes when I came back just now.
.
If you don't look carefully at the difference in patterns, the clothes of the two people look like the same style of couple's clothes at a glance.
"Oh, Jingyuan, we were talking about you just now..."
He mercilessly hit Zhou Ziyu who sang out loud despite his own abilities. Seeing the surprised grimace on his face, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.
His disguise is effective when facing ordinary passers-by, but it is really not enough when facing fans. Many fans can recognize their idols just from their backs without looking at their faces or fronts, like
It was Kim Taeyeon who once went out to play in private. She was wrapped up tightly and only one eye was exposed. As a result, a fan behind her recognized her by looking at her ankles.
Due to her personality and nationality, Zhou Ziyu doesn't have many friends in JYP. In addition, she has not grown up at all in the past two years and is just a childish little black girl with no charm. Her social circle consists of a few familiar Xia.
It’s a pity that many of the Chinese trainees have left JYP.
"I..." Jin Yelin, who had been silent all the time, seemed to be really interested. She was about to say something before she finished speaking. However, before she could say anything, Pei Zhuxuan glanced at her with a smile and looked like a captain.
Ni waved his hand in a gesture: "Forget it, I won't bother you. Normally I don't have much chance. You can take Tzuyu around for a while."
"Hey Yigu, I remembered it." Upon hearing this, Jiang Seulqi and Son Shengwan looked at each other, recalled it, and then quickly remembered it.
After making an appointment, Chi Jingyuan put his cell phone in his pocket, took out a mask and hat from his bag, put it on to disguise himself, opened the door and walked out quickly.
The overall dress is still nothing special, but after taking a look at Zhou Ziyu's black short-sleeved shirt, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look down at what he was wearing at the time...
"Is the song you said better, or the feat you made?"
She knew Red Velvet, and had a pretty deep impression of Pei Zhuhyun and the others.
Quan pretended that he had not heard the last sentence, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but become happy, and speeded up his pace slightly to keep up.
We happened to meet each other and just chatted for a while. Sun Shengwan and others seemed to be very satisfied with the concert they just watched, and they were full of emotions. When the topic was brought up, they felt a little excited, and there was a hint of appreciation and admiration.
I was envious and praised my previous first performance very much.
Seeing this somewhat familiar face and that Jigglypuff hat, the expressions of several people suddenly became wonderful.
"Her Korean is not very good..." Chi Jingyuan looked back, and then looked at Pei Zhuxuan in surprise: "You actually remember her?"
He switched from Chinese to Korean and slowed down his speaking speed.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go in and have a look?"
Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel something. Following Pei Zhuxuan's eyes, he couldn't help but look back. His eyes finally stopped on Zhou Ziyu's hat. He smiled inwardly, but didn't say much and just explained briefly.
While leading the way, Chi Jingyuan pointed at the piles of equipment in front of him and the tangled thick and thin wires everywhere.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but glance at her: "It's usually there, but during the performance because time is tight, the assistant will take out the clothes in advance and change them directly near the lifting platform. After changing, they will get ready to wait.
"
Chi Jingyuan said casually, turned his head and glanced at her for a second. He was a little embarrassed to see the look on the girl's face suddenly light up, and then waved his hand: "But the main thing is that I have nothing to do now."
"Is there a place to change clothes?" After receiving the answer, Zhou Ziyu no longer paid attention to the encounter just now. She blinked and looked in the direction Chi Jingyuan pointed in front, and asked a more childish and idiotic question.
Zhou Ziyu pointed her front teeth at the other person and smiled without any annoyance. She was teased two or three times in a row. She had already seen that Chi Jingyuan was joking.
"Ah hahaha, they all sound good!"
Pei Zhuxuan glanced back and forth at the black short-sleeves worn by Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu. The smile was still on his face, but he didn't speak and blinked at him.
She raised her chin, her meaning obvious.
"This is the first time I've heard the finished studio version of "Boy with Love". It sounds absolutely great..."
"whee……"
"Of course, haven't we met at the showcase before? You also introduced me specifically." Although Pei Zhuhyun didn't take the initiative to say hello because he suddenly saw Zhou Ziyu when we met just now, his expression was very natural throughout the process and he always kept a good look on his face.
After hearing this, she glanced at Chi Jingyuan angrily, then smiled at Zhou Ziyu with flashing eyes, and at the same time, she thoughtfully slowed down her speech.
"Why do you suddenly want to show me the backstage?" Zhou Ziyu followed Chi Jingyuan step by step, not completely side by side but slightly behind by half a body. At the same time, he took the initiative to change the topic and looked up at the other person curiously.
"Jingyuan, your first performance this time was great. The lighting and stage settings were very unique, and the atmosphere was really good. Among the concerts I have ever seen, this one should have the best atmosphere and stage effects..."
"ah?"
"Oh, that's right!" He nodded obediently. Many things around him were quite novel to Zhou Ziyu.
"Yes, they have been relatively free recently, except for Pu Xiurong who has a personal schedule... By the way, I also gave them their tickets." Chi Jingyuan nodded without thinking much. The two of them had already walked into the backstage.
After explaining, he pointed to the rooms in front and said, "That's our lounge over there, where we wait for the time before the performance starts."
"..."
"Anihasay..."
When I turned the corner and looked over there, I saw a familiar figure standing by the wall directly below and to the left under a sign hanging above that marked 'Zone D'.
"Ah, ah." Zhou Ziyu responded quickly when her name was called and bowed obediently.
This is even more true after joining "Sixteen". I wasn't very familiar with each other before. In order to debut, everyone is still competing with each other. Either I will squeeze out your position, or you will squeeze out my position to be able to be in front of the camera.
It's already very good that she performed her happy and cheerful look. Chi Jingyuan heard her say that she doesn't usually communicate much in private and there are many laugh groups. That is, after being divided into groups, she talked a little more with the trainees in the same group and became familiar with them.
Some.
Sure enough, two seconds later, several figures walked over from the corner. At a glance, they knew they were the people from Red Velvet. Bae Zhuhyun and Jin Yelin were walking arm in arm at the front, and they were talking to Kang Seulgi and Sun Seungwan behind.
Whatever people say, listening to the content is also discussing the stage of the concert just now.
Fortunately, at this time, there were not many people in the entire venue.
"We are queuing up at the exit of Area D and getting ready to go out." Zhou Ziyu glanced at the road sign in front of her and stopped moving. She lowered her head and replied quickly.
"Is that song "Boy with Love" your new song next month?"
"Take you to see the elevator..." Chi Jingyuan also let him play there, and after seeing enough here, he took the lead to another area.
But Pei Zhuxuan felt that this scene suddenly had a familiar feeling. She raised her head and glanced at the pattern on the hat on Zhou Ziyu's head. Before Chi Jingyuan could introduce it, she smoothed her hair and looked at Zhou Ziyu, and said with a smile: "
Is it…Tzuyu xi?”
"Forehead……"
"It sounds really good. I can sing it after listening to it once, oh, my my my~~"
"Why don't you find a familiar friend to come with you?" Chi Jingyuan raised his hand and motioned for her to follow. Then he took the lead and turned around and walked along the aisle toward the backstage. At the same time, he said: "Didn't you say that you and Song
Do you have a good relationship with Minying, do you still live in the same room as roommates?"
This time the venue has planned areas according to categories A, B, and C. Area D where Zhou Ziyu is located is relatively close to the stage, and the entrance and exit are not far away.
Zhou Ziyu's eyes widened and he looked around like a curious baby. When he passed by a unique speaker, he squatted down and took a look at it. He carefully stretched out his index finger and tapped a thick wire twice.
She looked as if she was afraid of a sudden leakage and explosion.
The two sides greeted each other, but Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that when Zhou Ziyu, who was still a trainee, faced these senior sisters who had debuted and had become celebrities, even though the other party smiled enthusiastically, he still
I was a little embarrassed and kept saluting when I said hello.
Her impression of Zhou Ziyu was not that deep, she just felt a little familiar and couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
After a period of orderly dispersal, most of the spectators in the gymnastics arena have left. The venue that was crowded just now is now much empty, with only a few scattered fans still wandering around chatting.
While walking, there were also some spectators who left at the end, maybe because they were reluctant or for special reasons.
"Okay, I know!"
"The audience has almost dispersed, so let's go first and see you later." As she said this, she turned around and greeted her sisters. After Jiang Seulqi and the others said goodbye, she turned around and took the lead in walking. At the same time, she carried her back
In front of the sisters and in front of Zhou Ziyu, he gently pushed a piece of loose hair behind his ears, wrinkled his nose slightly towards Chi Jingyuan, glanced at the hair and flicked it away.
Chi Jingyuan walked quickly along the way without encountering many waves of people, and soon arrived at the appointed location.
I felt a strange atmosphere, but Chi Jingyuan looked very natural. He looked at the faces of several friends and saw that there were no other ordinary spectators around, so he simply took off his mask.
, took the initiative to say hello.
It just felt interesting, and Chi Jingyuan didn't dwell on it. He quickly walked to Zhou Ziyu's side, faced the happily smiling person, looked at him for a while, then nodded his chin, frowned and said with some disgust:
"I've told you not to come. How can anyone watch the concert?"
On stage, he looks like a glamorous and handsome idol, but backstage he looks completely different.
But Chi Jingyuan had a strange expression on his face when he heard the voice. Although he hadn't met her yet, he already knew who it was.
"Go this way..." After watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan led the way to the entrance behind the big screen. He also met Jin Junmian and his parents and family on the way. He took the initiative to say hello politely without saying too much.
If you bother me, say goodbye.
It seemed that because the weird atmosphere before was broken, Jiang Seulqi breathed a sigh of relief and approached with a hearty smile on her face: "Because there were too many people just now, we waited until the end, and we didn't leave our seats until most people left.
, I didn’t expect to meet you here, what a coincidence.”
"It's quite close. Don't go out. Go back and circle around the outside of the stadium to the exit of area D. There is a very obvious sign there. Wait there."
"Tzuyu xi, a trainee of JYP, didn't you forget that we met me once during our showcase in 2013?" She turned around and followed the two members behind to give them a few words, then she leaned into Jin Yelin's ear and whispered.
Introduced: "A relative of Jingyuan..."
"It's out of tune..."
Taking two steps closer, Chi Jingyuan looked at Zhou Ziyu who was getting closer and closer. This girl was wearing the Jigglypuff baseball cap that she liked very much. She had long dyed brown hair spread down from both sides and was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with white stripes.
It looks quite simple. A smiley face pattern on the left side of the chest adds a childish feel, but the tight style slightly outlines a girl's growth curve.
"Basically all the equipment links used are placed here. The large screen and speaker components can be directly connected to the stage from here... But the things here are too messy. It's better to turn on the lights now, but
The lights are very dark during the performance, and staff must be specially arranged to guide us, otherwise it will be easy to get lost.”
After chatting for a while, the audience in the venue had almost dispersed. Pei Zhuxuan forgot about the venue that had become quiet. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Ziyu behind Chi Jingyuan, and shook his forehead.
Liu Hai'er seemed to have just remembered it, and asked with curiosity in her eyes: "By the way, what are you..."
After red velvet left, Chi Jingyuan took Zhou Ziyu a few steps into the backstage. Seeing that she seemed to be still thinking about what happened just now, he asked aloud.
"Well, take Line 5 and transfer. It's very convenient. You'll be there in a minute."
It took about twenty minutes to take Zhou Ziyu around the backstage of the venue. Zhou Ziyu, who had fulfilled a small wish he had always had, said that he looked very bright and happy, and his steps were jumping when he walked out.
It's like feeling full after eating.
"Okay, see you next time."
"Bye-Bye!"
Chi Jingyuan sent her to the exit of the backstage. Looking at Zhou Ziyu who was smiling and waving goodbye to him, he also smiled and waved before turning and walking in.
