Seeing Pei Xiuzhi standing up from the opposite side, twisting her round buttocks wrapped in jeans and walking out of the box, and then looking at the exquisite dishes that had just been served on the table, Chi Jingyuan shook his head gently.
You didn't go there just now and kept talking there, but you remembered it after the food was served.
The crew of "Attachment" has been on vacation for the past two days. Yesterday, Chi Jingyuan received a call from Bae Suzy. However, yesterday was the last performance of the encore concert. After that, there were meetings and a celebration banquet with the entire team, so there was no time.
, so I made another appointment for dinner today.
Although they haven't seen each other for a while, the two people who are already familiar with each other don't feel unfamiliar. I don't know what kind of torture Bae Suzy suffered on the set of "Wandering Attachment". After ordering food, she started to complain.
I stopped just now when I took a drink of water.
After she left Chi Jingyuan, no one ate first, so she took out her phone and checked it out casually.
"Thank you Jingyuan for the rescue truck, I've finished drinking the lemon ginger tea!"
This is an article that was updated on Lin Yoona's personal social account two days ago. In addition to the short article, she also attached several selfies. In the picture, she stood in front of the billboard of the support vehicle sent by Ji Jingyuan, doing it with her eyes closed.
Wink, holding a cup of lemon tea in his hand, looking very happy.
The comments below are very lively, but surprisingly harmonious. This kind of interaction and support between men and women does not lead to any disputes between Son and Ali, because they have often supported each other while filming in the past two years, many times.
Fans on both sides are now used to it. For many sones, even though Ji Kyung Won is a junior, he is still a TOP actor now. He is also very successful as an actor. He appears in Yoona and Unnie's circle of friends.
The name is actually quite something to be happy about.
In many people's minds, Chi Kyung-won and Lim Yoon-ah have a very good relationship, just like Kim Taeyeon.
But to be honest, Chi Kyung-won himself feels that he is not particularly close to YoonA sunbaenim. Apart from being seniors in the same company, he is more interested in the relationship between idols and fans.
After admiring the senior's selfie, Chi Jingyuan casually clicked a like and then swiped his hand to see other news.
"SM officially announced on the 19th of this month that it has reached a contract renewal for all members of its group FX. The group's first solo concert since their debut is already being prepared and will officially start next month..."
Cui Xueli, who had been waiting for the expiration of her contract a few years ago and wanted to change her career, became hesitant again when things came to a close. After struggling for a long time, she finally made a decision.
In fact, to be honest, there is not much conflict between her ideas and the company. What she is struggling with is that she wants to be an actress and not want to be an idol anymore.
It just so happens that SM doesn't intend to run FX well. It can be seen from the album they released for FX last year and the way several members put stockings after poor solo performance. They have invested all their resources and energy into new projects.
Even if the contract is renewed, Cui Shirley probably wants to be an idol and SM won't even bother to release songs for them.
It can be regarded as a mistake and a wrong move,
In the comment area below the news, FX fans who have been waiting anxiously for several months can finally release it happily:
"Ah ah ah, I have finally received this news after waiting for a long time. Sisters, please continue walking the flowery road..."
"Jung Soo Jung is a born idol! The strongest ACE! Let some junior girl groups see what strength is!"
"When will the concert start? Is it a tour? This is the Ernies' first solo concert seven years after their debut. We must book a bigger venue."
"Is there any news about all members returning after renewing their contracts? Last year's "4 Walls" did so well, so let's just release a regular album this time."
Seeing these excited FX fans, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say. According to what he knew, it would be difficult for these enthusiastic fans to wait for their idol's next album.
But no matter what, being able to hold this one and only concert after reaching a full contract renewal can be regarded as a little bit of regret.
"looking at what?"
At this time, the door of the box was pushed open, Pei Xiuzhi walked in and sat down, looked at Chi Jingyuan's movements and asked aloud.
"Looking at the fans' reaction after FX renewed the contract... By the way, are you sure MissA won't continue?"
Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced, remembered what happened and asked casually.
Bae Suzy is wearing a dark blue thin sweater and jeans today. With her smooth curly hair and her face, she has a feeling of purity and maturity. Her beautiful and pure face still has her most proud thoughts painted on it.
Even though she didn't see any change in her makeup, Chi Jingyuan felt that she seemed a little prettier than before, so he knew that she must have touched up her makeup in the bathroom.
"Why are you mentioning this again... let's eat."
She didn't seem to be very interested in this topic. She curled her lips and said something, then raised her lips to indicate. Then she picked up the spoon and drank the cream soup in front of her. Without looking at Chi Jingyuan, she added: "
I came back last year and collided with you, so the response to the album was not as high as expected. After the promotion period ended, the company already hinted that it would be the last album."
"You said that...why do I feel a little guilty?" Chi Jingyuan also took a knife and fork and started eating, chewing the steak while shaking his head.
"It actually has nothing to do with you. Regardless of whether the results are good or not, it probably won't work. Someone has already had a dispute with the company and decided not to renew the contract. This combination...sigh..." Pei Xiuzhi laughed twice with a somewhat disdainful expression, but then she said
I don't know if he remembered something, but he was silent for a few seconds after his expression calmed down, and then he sighed.
It can be seen that the poor relationship within the team due to various reasons in recent years has not erased her feelings for this group. Although she has almost transformed into an actor now, she still has very precious memories of her idol career.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Forget it...how is your "Wandering Attachment"? Are you sure you can kill "Descendants of the Sun"?" Seeing that the other party's mood was a bit uncomfortable.
Okay, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to change the topic.
But Pei Xiuzhi didn't seem to appreciate it at all. She raised her head and rolled her eyes: "Are you mocking me? Why did you blame me for not listening to your advice?"
"Isn't that what your crew said in the press release..."
Chi Jingyuan felt a little innocent.
"Descendants of the Sun" is the first TV series to be released simultaneously in China and South Korea after it was filmed, and "Attachment" is the second one. Because "Descendants of the Sun" became a big hit, Chi Jingyuan saw some of their crew when he was reading the news.
The promotional press release touches on this aspect, and it feels like it is benchmarking against "Descendants of the Sun".
"..."
Pei Xiuzhi poked the meat on the plate twice with her fork, hummed lightly and did not answer.
The two chatted while eating. Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, they got along very naturally.
"Are you going to the same place later?" Pei Xiuzhi didn't eat much. After a while, he almost finished eating. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and took out a small mirror. He checked his makeup in the mirror and asked casually.
The two of them were so familiar with each other and had been in a relationship for almost two years. They knew exactly what the topic was when they went out on a date, so she just asked casually.
"..."
It's just that Chi Jingyuan kept moving his hands and lowered his head to eat his steak, but he pondered for two seconds before slowly saying, "Today... let's not go there yet."
As soon as he said this, Pei Xiuzhi, who was looking in the mirror with his mouth pursed, stopped for a moment, looked up at Chi Jingyuan in front of him, looked at him carefully for two seconds with strange eyes, and suddenly chuckled, and
She fixed the curly hair on her cheeks, put the mirror away, leaned forward and supported her chin with her hands, staring at Chi Jingyuan with interest: "...What, you have a girlfriend?"
She just heard Chi Jingyuan say something, looked at his expression, and immediately figured out the reason.
"..." Chi Jingyuan cut a piece of meat and put it into his mouth with a fork. He shrugged. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.
"Why, you still want to hide it in front of your girlfriend? Are you afraid that she will have objections if she finds out?"
"She should know something..."
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about it. Pei Zhuhyun should know him quite well, and she should know some things about her and Pei Xiuzhi before. I don't think she knows the details, but she must have some feelings.
"If you have any opinions..." Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and smiled a little shyly, looking at Pei Xiuzhi: "I guess there is, give me a call and ask?"
Looking at Chi Jingyuan's pretentious expression, Pei Xiuzhi laughed a little disdainfully, and then his eyes flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You won't change your personality if you date a girl, right?"
"That doesn't mean..."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and shook his head noncommittally.
He didn't ask who it was or when they dated. After being surprised, Bae Suzy didn't seem to feel disappointed, but instead looked full of curiosity.
After a while of relaxed questions, the atmosphere became inexplicably silent, leaving only the sounds of knives and forks clashing with plates. Chi Jingyuan also quickly finished the last bit, wiped his mouth and paid the bill.
The two of them put on disguises and went down from the elevator to the underground parking lot.
It was unusually quiet along the way. Neither of them spoke. The dull footsteps made their hearts feel a little depressed. When they came to a corner in the parking lot, Pei Xiuzhi suddenly stopped.
She who was walking side by side suddenly walked up to Chi Jingyuan, took off her mask, and then took the initiative to get close to him. Wearing high heels, she was not much shorter than Chi Jingyuan, and her breath was so close that she seemed to be kissing him.
Just like he did before, he slightly raised his head and looked at the changes in the other person's eyes above the mask.
Chi Jingyuan was also shocked by her sudden movement, but he acted very calmly. Facing Pei Xiuzhi who was so close, he was very natural, and even blinked, showing a clear curiosity.
"whispering sound……"
Pei Xiuzhi raised an eyebrow, hummed in a disdainful tone, took a step back and distanced herself, then flipped her hair, looked at Chi Jingyuan, pursed her red lips, smiled twice, and then waved her hands disapprovingly.
: "Based on your character, I don't believe it... I'll call you in two days and leave first."
After saying that, she tossed her hair, carried her bag and walked towards the direction where she parked her car. The plump buttocks in her back were slim and graceful, and her high heels made a squeaking sound on the ground, gradually moving away.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan stood there and watched Pei Xiuzhi leave. He didn't open the door until she turned and disappeared and then got into the cab.
He didn't start the car directly. He put his hands on the steering wheel, leaned back in his chair and thought about the conversation just now and Pei Xiuzhi's actions and tone, and shook his head helplessly.
Bae Suzy is right, he is no longer the innocent boy who used to hide in bed and cry bitterly because he was broken up with.
After so many relationships, breakups, and experiences with girls, his character and habits have been gradually developed. When facing someone of the opposite sex he feels good about, he will habitually push and pull her, even if it is a girl he likes.
Children will no longer be unreserved, but will guess and figure out the other person's emotions and personality, and what they say will also have some skills and purpose.
Although there are no bad intentions, it still lacks some of the original sincerity.
The evil second brother's influence and teachings on him cannot be ignored.
Chi Jingyuan looked at his blurry reflection in the mirror, remembered something, and suddenly laughed.
I really miss my old self...
Ji Kyung-won has never concealed anything before. From the beginning, whether in front of friends such as Oh Se-hun, Lee Soon-kyu, or even Kang Seul-gi, he has always had a player-like personality. These friends all know him, and Bae Joo-hyun and
I have known him for such a long time, and I must know some of his character just from hearing about him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The young lady also knew some of his relationship with Bae Suzy, but she did not act excessively during the ambiguous period, and she did not ask Chi Jingyuan after confirming the relationship.
There was no mention of whether there was still contact, whether they were separated, etc. It seemed that she didn't know at all and was just managing it carefully.
Maybe it was worry, maybe hesitation, maybe it was fear... Anyway, she just pretended it didn't exist.
Only the young lady herself knows exactly what she is thinking.
But Pei Zhuxuan didn't mention it, it doesn't mean that Chi Jingyuan will naturally be as free and easy as before.
For Chi Jingyuan, the distinction between formal dating and casual play is still very clear, but his personality has been developed, and it is difficult to change too much because of any one person. Even in the relationship, he may still habitually interact with other people.
I push and pull with the opposite sex, I will send text messages to girls I feel good about, I will discuss gossip about beautiful women with members and friends in private, and I will maintain some contact with the opposite sex such as Bae Suzy and Jung Soojung who have had intimate behaviors.
But he felt that some things that were more out of bounds were inappropriate now. Even if Pei Zhuxuan never said it, Chi Jingyuan would still consciously restrain himself.
After all, managing a relationship cannot rely solely on one party's efforts. Of course he is emotionally invested in the young lady's father, although it seems not as much as the other party.
Even though we don’t know what this idol relationship will be like in the future, and we don’t know how long the two of them will be in business, at least they are fine now, and I hope everything will be fine.
…
"What are you doing……"
Returning to the dormitory in the evening, after taking a shower, Chi Jingyuan chatted with other members in the living room for a while. After returning to the room, he checked the time and called Bae Zhuhyun.
Since red velvet's return on the 17th, the father who originally took the initiative to call Chi Jingyuan every day has stopped doing so. I don't know whether it is because of his busy schedule or some reasons that he doesn't want to tell others.
"Well……"
After the call was connected, there was first a burst of yawning, which sounded very tired.
"I just came back from a radio event. I was waiting in line to take a shower on the bed and almost fell asleep..." After taking a breath, Bae Zhuhyun seemed to have regained her energy and chatted with her boyfriend in a clear tone, her voice sounded waxy.
Nuan, without any sense of unfamiliarity: "Your concert is over, how do you feel?"
"It ended yesterday. The celebration party was all over. It was so late..."
"Can we have a good rest then?"
"Well... Actually, the planning meeting for the third tour has already been held, probably around August."
"so fast."
"It's better to hurry up, the other members are waiting to make money... How about you, how are you today?"
"Well... I woke up very early this morning... The salad dressing my assistant Ernie bought for lunch was too little and tasteless, so I didn't eat much at all..."
"Sister Cody had a problem when styling Seulgi, it was so funny..."
When it came to herself, Pei Zhuxuan talked about everything, from breakfast to lunch, and then talked about Cody, style, and traffic jams at night. She talked about everything except her career, which she used to like to talk to Chi Jingyuan.
things.
Listening to the voice in his ears, after she finished rambling without any topic, Chi Jingyuan took a breath and asked in a gentle voice: "...Are you under a lot of pressure?
"
"..."
Quiet.
One sentence instantly silenced the phone. Pei Zhuhyun's clarity and strength seemed to disappear all of a sudden. After a few sniffling sounds, it took a while before he responded softly and weakly: "Yes."
It’s almost a week since red velvet’s return this time, and the specific quality can already be seen.
Although the entire album entered the charts on the first day and the title song landed at No. 2, this was actually the foundation laid by the last successful comeback. After a short period of popularity, before the group members and fans could be happy, after throwing away the halo of the previous time,
His true colors were revealed immediately. In the following days, the music performance of the title song "July 7th" dropped very quickly, and its stamina was extremely bad. The trend was even worse than that of the debut song "Happiness".
In terms of sales, relying on the popularity gained last time, more than 30,000 copies were sold in the first week. However, compared with the previous comeback, there was no improvement and instead it consumed the enthusiasm of fans.
Not to mention oil pipelines, all data dropped by more than half during the same period.
Some fans and passers-by also gave bad reviews, accusing SM of treating ballads as their main theme. Many people also felt that the atmosphere of this song was too depressing, and listening to this song was purely to cause trouble.
Chi Jingyuan actually feels that the quality of Bae Zhuhyun's album this time is not as bad as the results indicate. The songs included are quite good, the melody of "July 7th" is also good, and the MV was shot with great care.
But in fact, after watching the MV that day, he also expected that the subsequent results would not be satisfactory.
Because the heavy and depressing atmosphere is too discouraging, not only passers-by, but even many fans are unwilling to revisit the sad events in the past, and many people will deliberately avoid it.
The paradox is that the profession of idol is to bring people happiness, at least emotionally it should be positive.
At the same time, this song is a metaphor for the events of that year, but the leader of that event is still on stage at this time, so whether it is political factors or market factors, it is difficult for this comeback to be successful.
The current results also prove this.
Although it has been less than a week since the return, it is obvious that this return is unsatisfactory and can be said to be a failure, and this failure has also brought endless pressure to the members of red velvet, including Bae Joo Hyun.
Bad comments appear every day, and fans express disappointment and leave every day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Last year, Red Velvet just recovered from the unfavorable situation in their debut with two comebacks, and became a new generation of first-line girl group, and even the leader, but the throne is not yet there
After sitting still for half a year, this failed return immediately gave them a blow to the head.
The competition among the new generation of girl groups is very fierce. Last year, Ledbebe was still No. 1. This year, Gfirend took off immediately with their hit song. Last month, MAMAMOO also became popular through their comeback. And red velvet
At one time, it was standing still or even declining. When this contrast and reality were reflected in the members who experienced it personally, they felt it far more than others.
Bae Zhuhyun is very enterprising and strong. As the team leader these days, she can be said to be under the greatest pressure in the group.
Even though she is already dating her boyfriend, due to her inner self-esteem and many reasons, she has to pretend to be happy and in a good mood on the phone, and does not want to talk to her boyfriend about her return.
But Chi Jingyuan knew her very well and saw through the disguise of the young lady in an instant.
"..."
Bae Zhuhyun, whose cover-up was exposed, could no longer pretend. There was silence on the phone, and occasionally a very light sniffing sound could be heard.
Chi Jingyuan was also quiet and silent, and did not say too many meaningless words to comfort him. From his understanding, Pei Zhuxuan did not need these very much. She did not want to expose the embarrassment of this return in front of her father.
On the contrary, talking too much will embarrass her.
As an older sister, she is gentle most of the time, but in some aspects she has her own strength and self-esteem.
After a while of silence, Pei Zhuhyun suddenly spoke with a choked voice: "I want to hear you sing."
The sentence pattern was an imperative sentence, and the tone sounded a bit willful, but Chi Jingyuan laughed.
"What do you want to hear?"
"you guess."
"..."Let nature take its course""
"Um."
Hearing his father's muffled voice, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the other two roommates in the same room, hesitated for a moment, got up from the bed with his clothes on, walked to the balcony and closed the door, and then hummed softly:
"In the gray sky, there must be a brighter light."
"After the dark clouds dispersed, there was a dazzling light..."
The night was gloomy, and the gurgling song echoed around like water waves, passing through the current into the ears of a young lady on the other side who was pouting gently and humming stubbornly!
Chi Jingyuan stood on the balcony and looked at the night sky outside, humming quietly while thinking about the reason why red velvet's album did not perform well this time.
Do you blame the fans? The fans are already very powerful. The sales volume of more than 30,000 in the first week is already a very good result among girl groups.
Who's the weird member? As far as he knows, everyone in Red Velvet's comeback is working hard, and they only sleep two or three hours a day while running the schedule.
Sure enough, after thinking about it, I still blame SM.
