There was a smile between his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth. He originally just glanced at the movement when he heard the movement, but he didn't expect that as soon as Chi Jingyuan raised his head, he just met Zhou Ziyu's eyes, and their eyes collided under the moonlight.
Come together.
The long brown hair shawl, the striped short sleeves with cartoon patterns look a bit childish, and under the denim shorts is a pair of round thighs that are joined together, but it can't be seen clearly in the dim light.
Overall, there's nothing special about her, she's just a slightly prettier girl.
But her pair of round, clear big eyes were very eye-catching. They reflected the moonlight, and the ripples inside looked moist and seemed to be telling something. Chi Jingyuan seemed to be able to see inside.
own reflection.
It's just that because he suddenly saw these familiar faces, he seemed a little unresponsive at the moment. He was stunned for a while, and the hand that was still casually combing the hair on his head stopped unconsciously.
In addition, he also glanced at Nai Nanya next to him. The girl seemed to be secretly sizing him up at the moment. Both girls' eyes seemed to be shining, as if they had seen something that amazed them.
screen.
His eyes quickly glanced around, and several other girls, as well as Park Jinying's face standing at the front, also came into view.
"That's you, Jingyuan. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be too lazy to introduce you."
Li Zhien, who had her back turned, was still replying to what Chi Jingyuan had just said. She waved her hands and seemed quite reserved and proud of the 'first female solo'. Then, perhaps not wanting Chi Jingyuan to misunderstand, she finally added in a serious tone.
One sentence: "Actually, there's nothing else, the main thing is to make friends, and other things..."
As she was talking, she also heard footsteps stopping behind her. When she turned around, she saw Park Zhenying's smiling face, and nine Twice people standing in a row behind him.
Although Li Zhien had a slight smile on his face, Chi Jingyuan felt that this sister might have been shocked.
The nine members of Twice stood up straight, looking maybe a little nervous. All nine people were smiling and blinking at the trio in front of them, especially Chi Jingyuan and Li Zhien.
Maybe it was because the artist he had shouted and admired clearly appeared in front of him due to the radiant light on the stage, or maybe it was because they heard the conversation between Li Zhien and Chi Jingyuan when they approached, so the girls
There was obvious curiosity and excitement in his eyes.
"Why are you guys out? Isn't the air conditioner in there?" Seeing them, Park Zhenying narrowed her eyes and smiled, and took the initiative to say hello.
"It's quite cool outside, but it's a bit stuffy inside...and Jingyuan doesn't smoke."
Zheng Hengdon opened his mouth to respond, and at the same time he looked at Twice behind Park Jin Young. He pointed and laughed: "Brother, this is the show you JYP produced, the girl group selected by "Sixteen"..."
"Yes, this is JYP's new girl group Twice, who is preparing to debut. They came here to watch our performance today..." Park Jin Young seemed quite satisfied with the nine people behind him, smiling like an old father.
He introduced the three of them in a tone of voice, then moved a few steps to the side and gestured to them with his hand to say hello.
"Anihasay..." The nine people behind him were very discerning. After seeing Park Jinying's gesture, they quickly bowed respectfully and said hello. Different tones came together, and they were heard in the cool summer night.
I feel very energetic when I wake up.
"Hello you guys..."
Although it is a girl group that has not yet debuted, since Park Jin Young said so, Lee Ji Eun and Jung Hyung Don also smiled and nodded to say hello. Lee Ji Eun also made an expression of appreciation and looked at it from left to right.
, gently applauded and praised: "As expected of JYP's girl group, they really hit the ground running."
"Kangsangmita."
The nine people bowed again, and the smiles on their faces became much brighter. It was obvious that they were greatly benefited from the senior's praise, especially Lin Nalian, who looked quite excited, with her front teeth exposed.
After Chi Jingyuan nodded and said hello, he looked at the girls in front of him and exchanged glances with several of them, especially Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan, who had been looking at him, their expressions
It became a little strange for no reason.
At this time, Park Zhenying looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "Twice, Jingyuan must still remember it."
"What are you talking about? Brother, I was a judge on "Sixteen" and I even watched the last episode live."
"Sana, and Jeongyeon~"
Chi Jingyuan was amused by Park Jinying. As he spoke, he waved his hands to say hello to Minazaki Sasha and Yu Jeongyeon who were looking at him over there.
Minazaki Saka and Yu Dingyan seemed a little flattered after hearing this. Their eyes lit up. They bowed lightly, then covered their mouths and laughed. They looked very happy.
"You know everyone before they debut?" Li Zhien turned around and looked at him in surprise.
"That's right. Didn't I tell you that I was a judge before?"
Chi Jingyuan nodded, his previous surprised expression disappeared. He blinked, looked at the people in front of him, and asked Park Zhenying, "Were they always here just now?"
"Yes, I came very early. I was there from the beginning and watched the whole thing."
"Where to sit?"
"It seems to be on the left side of the main stage, relatively close."
"Is it very close? I didn't even notice..."
Chi Jingyuan and Park Zhenying exchanged questions and answers quickly. When he knew that these girls had been watching below, he lightly glared at Zhou Ziyu, who was looking at her secretly with his lips pursed and a slight nod.
Then suddenly some strange feelings arose in my heart.
Not because of anything else, but because the inspiration for the song "Rooftop Room" and some of its lyrics were created based on artistic processing of some conversations between two people when the girl celebrated her birthday.
.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that the sound source would be released in more than a week, so he would greet her in advance and explain it to her then.
However, I didn’t expect that during the performance, the person who was the host was actually watching the entire performance from below.
I don’t know if she heard it...
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her. After catching a glimpse of the brilliance in the girl's eyes and the emotions he couldn't clearly understand, his heart froze for a moment, and he suddenly felt a little clear.
He said why he thought this girl's eyes were a little strange just now.
You should have heard it.
only……
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little irritated and confused.
However, Chi Jingyuan did not show it. Instead, he smiled brightly on his face. He took his eyes away from Zhou Ziyu's face and looked at several other people: "Did you watch the whole performance? Which song do you like best?"
Later, he added with a smile: "Of course, not counting "I am so sexy""
"Hahaha." Park Zhenying laughed out loud when he heard this.
"Um……"
The nine people were obviously stumped by this question. They said "Rooftop Room" was not very good and "Leon" was inappropriate. They could only purse their lips and hold back their smiles. Look at me and I look at you. I don't know.
How to answer.
"Stop making things difficult for others..."
Li Zhien also laughed and hit him lightly from the air.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Chi Jingyuan shrugged, shook his head and smiled. He moved his eyes downward and looked at the shadow cast by the moon in front of him, and said no more.
"Are there nine members in total?" After saying hello and chatting for a while, Jung Hyung-don, who saw Park Jin-young's purpose, took the initiative to ask about Twice.
"Yes, it's definitely these nine."
"When are you going to debut?"
"It's not confirmed yet. It depends on the progress of their preparations..."
"..."
With Park Jin Young here, and having not yet debuted, there was no room for Zhou Ziyu and others to interrupt during the conversation. They could only stand nearby and smile beautifully, listening to their president and several seniors next to them.
communication between.
After a few people briefly asked about Twice's situation and chatted for a while, Park Zhenying greeted them and walked into the lounge with the nine Twice people.
As he passed by, Chi Jingyuan gently raised his head and looked sideways. At the moment when the levels crossed, his eyes met Zhou Ziyu's furtively peeking over again.
Although it only lasted half a second, the impression left by that moment was particularly clear.
After they left, Li Zhien looked at the backs of several people and clicked his tongue, not knowing what it meant. Then he suddenly remembered something, his smile became a little playful, and he looked back: "Jingyuan, have you noticed that just now?
Although there are a few girls who seem to be listening to us very seriously, they are actually looking at you secretly."
"Senior, are you so observant?" Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched.
"Tch, are your basic skills good?"
Li Zhien felt that he was being underestimated and rolled his eyes at him.
"Isn't it normal for girls to like handsome guys? Jingyuan is so handsome. If you don't look at him, why should you look at me?"
Zheng Hengdon smiled and patted his round belly, and pursed his lips at Li Zhien: "Who would you look at if I were Zhien?"
"I will... hahaha, of course it's to see Jingyuan." Li Zhien smiled happily.
"Just saying... By the way, I just asked the PD. There are very few re-recording scenes today. I think they will be finished in a while. After the end, there will be a group dinner to celebrate the end of the "Gayo Festival" special. Will you all go?
"
"Of course, I definitely have to go to this kind of dinner."
"Ah, the song festival is finally over."
Following Zheng Hengdun's somewhat lamented voice, Chi Jingyuan and Li Zhien were also filled with emotion, and in the summer night, they became silent in a tacit understanding.
…
After finishing the visit with her seniors, Twice got into the nanny car and returned to Seoul.
Along the way, she naturally followed the excited sisters and discussed the concert they saw tonight. Zhou Ziyu's expression showed nothing unusual. She seemed to be just a small audience intoxicated by the effects of tonight's stage.
But after returning to the dormitory and taking a shower first, Zhou Ziyu, who was lying on the bed, could not settle down. He was either tossing and turning on the bed, or lying on the pillow, hugging the dog doll, and staring blankly.
The bed was made with crazy planks.
This kind of random thoughts and anxiety had been tormenting her for nearly half an hour, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore. She observed the situation in the dormitory at this time, then picked up the phone at the right time, put on her slippers, and walked lightly to the balcony.
I turned around and dialed the person's phone number.
At the same time, Chi Jingyuan, who was having dinner with the program team and had just had a beer with a few brothers, also felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and took out his phone to look at the caller.
After seeing the expected name, he stood up with a smile and said hello to the seniors at the same table, then walked out of the box with his cell phone and connected it.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Zhou Ziyu's voice was a bit soft on the phone, and it sounded like she was speaking in a deliberately lowered voice.
"The voice is so small?"
"Don't be too afraid of being overheard by others. Your manager Ernie is also living in the dormitory." Zhou Ziyu explained in a low voice, then her tone became brisk and she took the initiative to ask: "What are you doing?"
"Today the music festival has officially ended. I am having a dinner with the "Infinite Challenge" program crew and other guests to celebrate. I think we are halfway through the meal."
Chi Jingyuan walked along the corridor to the camera, opened the originally closed window, and a stream of fresh air immediately poured in from the outside, adding an original summer atmosphere to the originally cool air conditioner around him.
, also made Chi Jingyuan, who had just drank some wine and was a little dizzy in that atmosphere, suddenly become sober. He looked out at the street with not many pedestrians outside and exhaled happily.
He then asked: "What about you?"
"We just took the car back to the dormitory in Seoul. I just finished washing up and now I'm on the balcony."
Zhou Ziyu's voice was soft, her fingertips holding the phone were soft, and her face, which still had the lingering charm after just taking a shower, was also soft.
"Just finished taking a shower? Have you put on a facial mask?" Chi Jingyuan pointed out.
"It's annoying, I need you to take care of it!"
Although he was used to it, every time he mentioned this, Zhou Ziyu still felt a little heartbroken when faced with Chi Jingyuan's unqualified bullying, and his brows suddenly knitted together.
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan could imagine the girl's slumped face. He didn't hold on to her shortcomings. He just let it go and moved on to other topics: "You guys just went into the lounge and went to another topic.
Say hello to the others?"
"Well, the PD took us in to meet the other seniors, but we just said hello and didn't say anything...and I think the other seniors didn't take it seriously and only responded for the PD's sake.
of."
"It's normal. You guys haven't debuted yet. Do you think you're all the same as me? It's already great to be able to remember your names and give you a smile."
"Hmm..." She responded obediently. After pausing for a few seconds, she seemed a little curious or maybe she was hungry, so she asked something else: "What did you eat?"
"What else can there be for so many people to eat, and it's so late at night? Let's have barbecue, but their group mainly drinks."
Chi Jingyuan smiled inwardly, then his tone suddenly changed, and he began to question with some blame: "By the way, hey, Zhou Ziyu, why didn't you tell me before you were going to watch the performance at the Song Festival? You even went out of your way to do so two days ago.
There was no sound, and it was kept secret, right?"
When he saw twice today, he was really shocked.
"Hehehe, I want to give you a surprise."
Zhou Ziyu used her habitual silly smile to brush it off: "And we only received the notice the day before yesterday... Although it was a bit hot, the atmosphere tonight was really good. I felt that the audience cheered from the beginning to the end.
, the members were also very excited to see it.”
"How does our XO concert compare?"
"Uh...hehe."
"traitor!"
"Don't say that...and the songs in this music festival are all very good. I also went to listen to the songs from the previous music festivals. The quality of the songs tonight is much better than those in the previous music festivals. When I came back by car
The sisters have been discussing the song for the night..."
Zhou Ziyu chattered about the evening. Although her voice was not loud and a bit waxy, her lively tone clearly showed the liveliness and excitement in her heart. Chi Jingyuan smiled with a hint of smile.
Listening silently, it seemed that he also felt some sympathy for the other party's joy.
"Then which one is your favorite?" He suddenly interjected at the end.
"Um……"
Hearing this question, Zhou Ziyu paused and seemed a little hesitant: "Although several other members said that PD's "Im so sexy" is the best..."
But after thinking about it for a few seconds, she replied firmly, "But, my favorite is "Rooftop Room""
Even through the phone, Chi Jingyuan could feel how serious the girl was about this answer, and it seemed that she was biting her lip and making a stubborn expression in front of her eyes.
But speaking in such a soft voice, it sounds quite cute.
However, when the song "Rooftop Room" was mentioned, the two of them suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.
The real night breeze outside blew against Chi Jingyuan's cheeks. He looked at the cars whizzing by on the road in the distance, pursed his lips, and listened to the sound of breathing coming from his mobile phone.
He felt that Zhou Ziyu was a little entangled and timid.
After a while, I heard her tentatively ask: "The name "Rooftop Room" and some of its lyrics were based on that night..."
"Yes, it's obvious." Regarding this, Chi Jingyuan did not deny it at all: "The inspiration for this song came from that night, and I wrote the demo in the next few days."
"Um……"
Zhou Ziyu nodded slightly when he heard this and fell into silence again.
That's not what she wanted to ask. The title of the song and these lyrics were actually very clear. She knew it at a glance, so she didn't even need to ask.
What she really wanted to ask was...
After another moment of silence, she took a deep breath, and then she spoke in a somewhat stuck voice:
Chi Jingyuan seemed to hear the sound of nervous swallowing.
"Then this song and other lyrics are..."
Did you write it for me? Did those lyrics speak to me?
This was what she wanted to ask, but she went straight to the beginning and couldn't say the rest.
"…………"
Finally, the group came. Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel stagnant. This time he didn't say anything directly.
He had already thought that he would receive a text message from Zhou Ziyu or receive a call from her in the evening.
When Chi Jingyuan met in the evening, he already felt that Zhou Ziyu might have had some complicated emotions and emotional fluctuations after watching the stage of "Rooftop Room".
Of course, it is also possible that these emotions and feelings have always existed before, but were just sublimated and triggered today.
Just like what someone said to him more than once before: "Girls are generally very precocious. It is very normal to have someone you like in your teens. Don't treat people like children all the time."
!”
As expected of a senior, his words came true.
But for Chi Jingyuan, this farewell still felt a bit sudden.
If it were another female idol who had expressed his affection, he might not have thought so much. Either he would be ugly and refuse, or he would just take advantage of the situation, and there would be no need to worry.
But Zhou Ziyu's words...are indeed somewhat different.
And even if Chi Jingyuan responded, Zhou Ziyu's current situation is actually a bit unsuitable. The key point is that she is a bit young, and she has just received the opportunity to debut and is preparing to take the first step in her career.
Originally, he was just thinking about how to fool this little girl, or to send this little girl away, so that she could practice hard and concentrate on preparing for her debut.
But the moment I answered the call and heard the other party's voice, I suddenly changed my mind for some reason.
Many of the things I had thought about before were simply discarded.
Just say whatever you want and let nature take its course.
He sighed in his heart, listened to the slightly rapid breathing coming from his ears, breathed softly, considered for a few seconds, his tone became serious, and he said: "No..."
"Dududu..."
Just as he opened his mouth and said one word, a busy phone sound suddenly came to his ears.
Zhou Ziyu took the initiative to hang up the phone.
He took off the phone and looked at the screen where the call had ended. He was a little stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Behind him, there was the thumping sound of a waiter wearing high heels walking in the corridor, and at the same time, loud and wanton noises were also faintly heard from the box. Chi Jingyuan, who had come back to his senses, had a calm expression. He might not have thought it through, or he might have understood it.
Some.
He didn't say anything, nor did he go back to the box to continue eating. Instead, he opened the window in front of him a little wider, exhaled forcefully, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the sky.
…
On the balcony of Twcie's dormitory, Zhou Ziyu looked at the phone she had pressed in her hand, and wrinkled her nose slyly at the name in the address book on the screen.
Tsk, I still don’t know what you’re going to say?
'Tzuyuxi, have you watched too many TV series?'
‘Can Zhou Ziyu be more mature? Why are you acting like a child?”
'No, I'm sorry..."
In addition to denying it, you may also make some inappropriate jokes to fool him.
Don't I know you yet?
I know you best!
Zhou Ziyu thought with some pride.
But these various small emotions that arose slowly dissipated as she stared at the screen of her mobile phone and gradually fell into a daze.
The chirping of cicadas seemed a little noisy for no reason at this time. Although the temperature had dropped a lot in the middle of the night in summer, she felt a little dull.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Ziyu took her mobile phone and walked gently to the edge railing of the balcony. Her lips were soft and soft, and she was biting her little tiger teeth gently. At this time, her big and smart eyes were looking at the sky.
In fact, I know it’s not the case without you having to tell me.
I was really moved when I saw the stage. When I saw the title and the beginning of the song, I really thought it was written for me.
But when I saw those words at the end, I knew it wasn't the case.
Because I know that you would not say those straightforward and emotional words to me.
Every day I just do the same thing as a kid, like facial masks and the like.
You still call me childish, right?
Maybe it was a little bit in the first two years, but when we met in the first two years, EXO was not popular yet.
What now?
I have grown up a lot now, okay?
You really only see people with old eyes... Idiot!
If it were in the past, it wouldn't matter what your answer was. Even if you told me directly that it wasn't, it wouldn't really matter. Maybe I was in a bad mood because of my anger, and it would be gone after a good sleep.
but……
Feeling all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined in her heart, Zhou Ziyu sighed softly.
She looked out at the night sky where there were no stars and only a single moon hanging there. It seemed a bit desolate and lonely. However, she raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled. The bright night was reflected in her deep eyes.
The dizzy white moon.
But today, now, at this time...
I really hope it's true...
Under the same sky, two people in different places admired the same moon and the same starless night sky at the same time.
