Chi Jingyuan and Mingjing Nan said the same sentence at the same time, and then they blinked and looked at each other. Unknowingly, a wonderful sense of tacit understanding suddenly emerged around them. They paused for a second, and at the same time they bent their eyes.
, and laughed together.
The Mingjing Nan in front of her looked very young in a baseball cap, but she became a little sweet the moment she laughed. In Chi Jingyuan's eyes, her gums were exposed when she smiled and grinned.
She seemed very generous at first and didn't care much. Her eyes were bent into a slit and she smiled happily, but then she seemed to remember something. Halfway through her smile, she quickly buried her head, shook her head slightly, and tossed the hair around her face.
, it was slightly covered, and with her hand that had been shrunk in her only sleeve, she looked a little squeamish.
Chi Jingyuan was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, but his eyes were shining with a smile.
As soon as he heard the other party's words and tone, he almost thought of the scene where the other party invited his friends to watch a movie and was ruthlessly rejected through his own experience yesterday.
Two lonely men and women who had the same fate and could only watch movies alone met each other by chance, and they happened to know each other.
This subtle sense of mental connection and tacit understanding is really enjoyable.
"Are you going back to the company later?"
After a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan's smile faded. He looked at Mingjing Nan who was standing next to him and didn't want to leave, and took the initiative to ask.
"Well, I have classes in the afternoon, and then there are exercises..."
"Then Mina Xi, you really took the time to watch the movie... Do you want to go back after dinner?"
Chi Jingyuan felt that Mingjing Nan was much busier than him.
"Um……"
Mingnan seemed to be a little moved when he heard this. He just pursed his lips and thought briefly for two seconds, then looked over with some embarrassment: "Miah, if you want to eat, you may not have enough time... and because I am getting in shape in preparation for my debut.
Management and the company don’t let us eat some recently..."
Having said this, she gently licked the left corner of her mouth, which seemed to be associated with some kind of food.
"No carbohydrates and meat allowed?"
"Yeah." Mingjing Nan nodded vigorously, and Chi Jingyuan's simple question immediately resonated with her.
The company is very strict about body shape management for each of them. They have to be weighed and checked almost every day. Once they are overweight or fail to lose a predetermined weight, they will be criticized and receive corresponding punishments.
However, body shape is one of the business abilities for idols. If you rely on this to earn money, it is normal for you to be stricter, and it is also for the upcoming debut. Although it is a bit painful, it is still acceptable.
And they often actually eat some secretly to satisfy their cravings.
"Forget it."
Chi Jingyuan just said it casually, shrugged and took the lead, gestured with his hands, and took the initiative to take the lead towards the elevator and was about to walk over: "Let's go, I'll take you back."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Najing Nan, who was about to lift his feet, paused and looked at the other party in surprise.
"We have bumped into each other by chance. It's not good for me to go to dinner. You can take the subway back alone."
Chi Jingyuan stopped and turned around, waving his hands in a natural manner and tone: "Anyway, I have to go back to the company later, and JYP is just on my way... I eat the same here as when I go back to the company.
"
He didn't even ask, 'Do I want to send you back?', but just asked her to follow him.
"……Inside!"
Mingjing Nan looked at Chi Jingyuan and turned around again, walking towards the back of the elevator. After blinking, he smiled and trotted to follow.
"We just have a lot of free time recently. Yesterday I enthusiastically invited several members to come and watch, but after talking for a long time, no one was willing, and some people were annoying and making sarcastic remarks..."
"...I also invited sana and momo yesterday. Although they didn't say anything bad, they also said they were not interested."
"They are neon people and don't you like to see them?"
"……hey-hey."
Mingjing Nan obviously doesn't complain about his teammates like Chi Jingyuan, he just smiles sweetly and a little naively.
This CGV cinema is on the fourth floor of a commercial plaza. After coming out of the cinema, they stopped for a while, then the two of them took the elevator downstairs, chatting while walking, and soon arrived at the underground parking lot.
"By the way, what do you think of the theatrical version of "Nobita's Heroes of the Universe"?"
When the elevator opened the door, a blast of air-conditioning hit her face. The surrounding environment suddenly became much quieter, and their voices also became much quieter. Chi Jingyuan looked at her and asked while leading the way.
"Um……"
The girl did not answer directly, but quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Chi Jingyuan's expression, as if she was trying to figure out his opinion.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Mingjing Nan still told the truth: "I think it's pretty average..."
As she said that, she glanced at Chi Jingyuan again: "Although some parts are very funny, the rest of the plot is a bit too childish, and the plot is a bit too childish... Although it is originally meant for children, but it is
It’s a very good one.”
"Indeed, this Prince is a little overrated, and I was a little disappointed after reading it. I think there is a reason why Neon's forum has a bad reputation."
Originally, Mingjing Nan thought that Chi Jingyuan liked this drama through the previous contact, so she hesitated just now. But she didn't expect that he actually nodded in agreement with her evaluation, and at the same time looked over with some surprise.
: "mina xi, do you also think "Stand By Me" is good to watch?"
"You too..." Najing Nan opened his mouth.
'Ha ha……"
Two muffled laughs rang out in the quiet parking lot.
As he spoke, Chi Jingyuan stopped in front of a Porsche, reached into his bag and began to take out the keys. Najing Nan, who had been following behind, stared at the white car in front of him with some confusion.
He was pacing around, as if trying to confirm what it was.
"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan, who noticed her movements, turned around and asked.
"Your car, no, no..." Najing Nan gestured twice, her voice a little blurry.
She knew the model of Chi Jingyuan's Mercedes-Benz car and had checked it before, but she somehow didn't want to tell it accurately at this time.
"Oh, you mean that Mercedes?"
Chi Jingyuan understood and went back to take out the keys: "After that car was exposed last time, many fans knew the model. Although the license plate was not disclosed, there are very few Mercedes of this model in Seoul.
When I go out privately, fans sometimes try to follow the car to see if it is me, which is dangerous and troublesome, so I changed to another car some time ago..."
The exposure of the car model still caused him a lot of trouble. After encountering several incidents of people following the car with fans, Chi Jingyuan changed cars when he went home last time. This is the white one in front of him.
Porsche.
Either too expensive supercars, or mid-range ordinary models.
After explaining, Chi Jingyuan glanced at Mingjing Nan, found it interesting and said casually: "You have also seen that news..."
"Uh, um."
Mingjing Nan smiled sarcastically, but Chi Jingyuan didn't see it.
"Get in the car."
"boom."
When the environment changed from a bustling public place with people coming and going outside to a quiet and private space for only two people in the car, Nai Minami, who was sitting in the co-pilot, obviously felt a little uncomfortable and seemed to be assimilated by the atmosphere.
Yes, from the moment I got into the car, I started talking a lot less and my voice was obviously much quieter.
Although she actually didn't talk much before.
But the contrast between nervousness and shyness is quite obvious.
After Chi Jingyuan said a few words casually, he felt the change in this girl. After noticing that she seemed a little embarrassed and shy in this situation, he reached out and clicked a few times on the car player, a few of Big Bang's singles this year.
The song starts playing from the beginning.
Then he stopped making any sound or looking over there, and just drove quietly.
There was silence all the way, only the music of "Loser" played melodiously.
The cinema itself is in Apgujeong, very close to the address of the JYP building. We arrived at our destination in a few minutes. Ji Kyung-won stopped at the intersection next to it.
"come on."
"Thanks, bye."
"boom."
With a soft thank you, Mingjing Nan closed the car door and stood on the roadside waving goodbye. Chi Jingyuan also waved his hand in the car, then started the car and turned into the main road, heading towards a store near SM.
Driving to a restaurant you frequently visit.
After driving for two minutes, he encountered a red light. He leaned back in his chair, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and gently scratched his itchy cheek with the other. Thinking of the last silent drive, he burst out laughing.
To be honest, his previous impression of the girl Mingjing Nan was quite ordinary. In addition to remembering that she was a neon trainee with good temperament and good looks, the other entry was that she was Zhou Ziyu's teammate.
Other than that, the previous help from the club and the phone calls in the past few months did not actually make him have any special views on Nai Minami.
Maybe I didn't pay much attention to it.
But things are a little different now. After today's chance encounter, Chi Jingyuan's memory of her suddenly became much clearer.
She looks a little weak on the outside, but she has her own persistence on the inside.
He could tell that the girl had a crush on him, but he still refused the invitation to have dinner together.
Later, Nai Minami guessed that he liked the movie version quite a lot, but after some hesitation, he still told the truth that he thought it was just average.
Then her personality is a little shy. At first, it may be because of the surprise and subtle atmosphere caused by the encounter in the movie theater that made her a little lively and enjoyable.
Later, as the car door closed and it became quiet, she remembered that the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and that Chi Jingyuan was sitting next to her, so she instantly returned to her true nature and became shy and awkward.
Although they had only been together for just over an hour, and they still didn't know each other very well, at least her image of Chi Jingyuan in her mind suddenly became much clearer.
Thinking of the exchange we had together just now, and the way the girl and I were a little restless in the car at the end, Chi Jingyuan smiled with emotion on his face.
No matter what, I am a person who likes Doraemon after all...
…
"Loser, loner, coward..."
After Nai Minami changed her clothes, she walked into their practice room while humming a song. At this time, most of the nine members had arrived, and as soon as she entered, she was caught by Minazaki Saka.
"Back! How was the movie..."
Minazaki Saka came up to her and pulled Nai Minami down to sit down. She came closer and smelled the scent, then leaned over and asked a few casual questions.
But soon, she seemed to notice something unusual, and looked at Ming Jingnan's face with some confusion: "Why are you so happy and humming a song? Is the movie good?"
In fact, when Mingjing Nan asked her to go to the movies with her yesterday, she somewhat wanted to go with him, because Mingjing Nan actually didn't often invite them to hang out. On the contrary, every time, they took the initiative to call them by their extremely otaku names.
Jing Nan went out and was rejected, so this time is actually quite rare.
After thinking about it, she declined because she had no interest in the show and her time was too tight. She had to rush back to class and practice just after watching the show.
But after Mingjingnan went alone, she felt a little regretful, so she had been waiting for Mingjingnan to come back since just now.
Hearing this question from his friend, memories flashed in Najingnan's eyes.
Although Minazaki Saka asked about movies, she was thinking about people.
This time, the movie journey that started with one person ended with two people. In fact, when I think about it now, Nai Minami still feels a little bit magical.
She had been in a good mood ever since she got off the bus, basically humming songs all the way back. The reason for this was that although there was indeed the surprise of meeting Chi Jingyuan, for her, it was not
major factor.
Because although the chance encounter made people happy, it could only be said to be a coincidence. What really made her feel happy was the harmony and tacit understanding when they chatted and got along later.
Especially after getting into the car at the end, she felt something was wrong, her heartbeat was racing, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do or say. When she noticed it, Chi Jingyuan immediately stopped saying anything and calmed down after playing the music.
She breathed a sigh of relief and became much more at ease.
Although she has a good impression, she tends to be shy when facing people she is not very familiar with.
And this tacit understanding of being taken care of really made her enjoy it.
"Movie..."
After coming back to his senses, Mingjingnan blinked and laughed:
“Exceptionally beautiful!”
"Ah, is it true? I want to go with you next time." Upon hearing this, Saka Minatozaki shook her hands tightly around the other person's arms and coquettishly said.
He is obviously older than the other person, but he pretends to be a child.
"Hey, don't you like watching this? I won't take you with me next time."
"Don't..."
…
“Red Velvet’s return this time didn’t result in very good results, so why didn’t there be more of them...”
In EXO's practice room in the SM building, the EXO members who had just finished recording their neon album were sitting lazily on the sofa and the floor, each chatting and taking a short break with their mobile phones to prepare for their schedule. Bian Bo
Xian didn't know what news he saw, but suddenly the topic of red velvet came up.
They lost to Girls' Generation who returned to their fifth week on "Music Center" yesterday.
"The thing about girl groups is that unless they make a big comeback, they won't have an advantage in the one-member competition."
Jin Junmyeon was very understanding and helped to explain: "In addition to your own performance, you also need to look at your opponents. Recently, there are SNSD's seniors, HyunA's solo, CNBLUE's return and monster newcomer Ikon, and Red Velvet will win this week.
Three of them are pretty good.”
"...Well, I saw FNC's press release again. Why can you see Seolhyun everywhere now? Didn't her TV series this year hit a new low in ratings and hit the streets so hard? How can she be so popular?"
"The company favors her and gives her a lot of resources."
Hearing the chatting of several people next to him, Chi Jingyuan, who had just sent the text message, looked up and said something fair: "You can't say that. The resources provided by the company are only one aspect. The main thing is that there is something attractive about her...
Otherwise, why would some people not even praise it?"
"And can't you see, some of her CF resources are not available to FNC."
After expressing his opinion, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head again and looked at the message he had just received.
"Because I'm about to start shooting the MV, I have to practice late every day for the past two days, and I have to get up very early the next day... I feel like I will soon learn Nobita's unique skills if this continues."
"Sleep instantly?"
Chi Jingyuan instantly understood what the other party meant.
"Haha, yes. (laughing)"
After they met and watched a movie together that day, Chi Jingyuan and Mingjing Nan were obviously more familiar than before, and the text message contact that had been interrupted for a period of time resumed naturally.
But the frequency is still not high. I say hello once every few days, and then talk about relatively normal things casually.
However, being more relaxed like this has actually made a lot of progress, and it is much more natural than the previous way of deliberately expressing my presence to show my presence.
After replying, Chi Jingyuan put down his phone again, preparing to join the discussion about Kim Seol-hyun that was starting next to him.
As for what Minami Nai said, he already knew that Twice was practicing like crazy recently because they were about to start shooting the music video.
Zhou Ziyu said this when she complained to him two days ago.
He even knew that he had to use a one-shot mode for this MV...
But having said that, Twice is currently filming a music video, so they should debut around mid-October.
Kim Taeyeon, whom he was responsible for, also debuted as a solo artist around this time.
Could it be that we bumped into each other...
Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered this incident, and his face suddenly became a little strange. He was still very confident in Taeyeon's solo. He wondered if Zhou Ziyu would look a little ugly if they collided head-on.
.
"omo!"
"boom."
At this moment, Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, suddenly shouted in surprise, and at the same time, he slapped the floor hard and made a crisp sound, which instantly interrupted the chat and play of the people around him and attracted everyone's attention.
.
Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting closer, was startled by the exclamation. When he came to his senses, he frowned and couldn't help cursing: "You are sick, you are so startled."
!”
"Don't talk about this, you've been exposed, see for yourself!"
However, Wu Shixun seemed not to hear him at all. While shouting, he patted him several times with a shocked look on his face. At the same time, he handed over the mobile phone in his hand, showed the screen to him, and kept saying: "Someone
Exposing your relationship is all right, but this is nothing...the point is that the photos have been released, when were you taken?"
