Twice, a new girl group that became popular less than a year after their debut, has been busy with schedules since the "CHEER UP" period. They have been busy with activities for several months without taking a breath. However, the company has shown some conscience in the past two days.
The holiday that has been postponed for the last month has finally come true.
Unfortunately, there is still a backlog of schedules, and the vacation that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time only lasts less than four days. But no matter what, the members who have not had much rest for so long can finally relax.
Mingnan, who had not been home for a long time, took this opportunity to return to Neon's home and had a good reunion with his family.
At this time, Nai Minami's house in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, had enjoyed a few days of beautiful family affection. The girl who should have been relaxed and comfortable was sitting on her bed, holding a mobile phone in her hand but not looking at it. Instead, her eyes were
From time to time he looked out the window, his eyes seemed a little tangled.
Dad has a job to go to work today, his brother went to play rugby with his college classmates, and mom is preparing dinner in the kitchen. The dog Ray Jiang next to her is lying on the side honestly, looking at the little kid whom she hasn't seen for a long time from time to time.
The princess glanced at her and wagged her tail to show her closeness...
Everything at home seemed very warm and inviting, but unfortunately, Mingjing Nan's thoughts were not on it at this time.
She was thinking about another person who was also in Neon Osaka.
When she returned to Neon the day before yesterday, she already knew that Chi Jingyuan and the others had also come to Osaka to hold a family concert. She even watched EXO's live broadcast in the lounge on V LIVE.
She also knew that EXO had stayed in Osaka after two days of SM TOWN due to other schedules and had not returned yet. Chi Jingyuan should be less than 20 kilometers away from her now. It takes half an hour by car to reach the Osaka Dome.
Nishi Ward of Osaka.
What a coincidence!
It would be fine if they happened to meet each other in Seoul. She wouldn't be so infatuated and anxious and would just think it's normal... But the two of them are obviously idols in the peninsula. Under normal circumstances, they spend more than half of the year together.
Working in Seoul.
However, when she was returning home on vacation, the two of them met by chance in Neon, her hometown of Osaka, and they were surprisingly close to each other.
Isn't this fate...
This unexpected coincidence gave rise to a drunken sense of fate. There was an exciting tingling in her heart, which made the girl who pursues romance particularly excited, and the idea and impulse of meeting each other emerged in her heart.
And it happens to be the busiest summer festival here recently. It is said that there will be a grand fireworks display today... Which neon girl can't live without summer and fireworks in her youthful fantasy?
However, when she just learned the news two days ago, she tentatively sent text messages to Chi Jingyuan. Unfortunately, her schedule there was too busy, so the chat ended after a few words. She didn't even have time to say that she was going home for vacation.
And today is the last day of the vacation. She will get on a plane to return to Seoul at noon tomorrow. When today is over, all kinds of fantasies will be shattered like fireworks, and this unexpected meeting in the air will also cause waves.
Not surprised but sorry to miss it.
Mingjing Nan has been hesitant today, thinking about whether to contact Chi Jingyuan... But there are also many worries. Will Chi Jingyuan have no time? Is there already an arrangement? Is there not?
Want to come?
Moreover, there is no difference between a girl taking the initiative to invite a man to attend the summer festival to watch the fireworks and directly expressing her affection. She knows that for Chi Jingyuan, who is more familiar with neon culture, if she takes the initiative to send out the invitation, the meaning will be obvious.
.
Although there was some ambiguity before, how embarrassing would it be if they were politely rejected...
As the time got later and later, she became more and more hesitant. She stood up from the bed and walked to the window to look in the distance. Then she sat back on the bed and turned on her mobile phone and took a few casual glances. After hesitating for a while, she got up again and walked around the room.
, even walked up to Ray-chan, stroked its head and wanted to ask for help.
For her who has always lacked initiative in relationships and is used to being led by others, it is really difficult to decide...
She was tangled in her heart, unable to make a decision, so she walked to the window again.
She quietly looked at the rippling sunset in the distance and the slowly darkening sky. She didn't know why, but a casual sentiment she had heard from a close relative suddenly appeared in her heart, making her palpitate and she muttered silently:
"If this continues, I will have no memories of this summer..."
…………
"Mina? What's wrong...are you in Neon too?"
"...There are quite a lot of people. I heard that there is a fireworks display here at night. Let's watch it together... um... okay... but is it convenient for you to come over?"
"I'm on the Yodogawa side now, very close to River Park..."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan looked at the caller's name displayed on the phone screen and blinked as if he didn't respond.
Chi Jingyuan did not expect that he suddenly received a call from Ming Jingnan at this time, and was even more surprised to hear that she was also in Neon.
But at the same time, what appeared in my heart was an inexplicable feeling of joy. Even Chi Jingyuan could not suppress his excitement at this wonderful coincidence. He felt that his heartbeat was already restless due to the lively environment around him.
A little faster.
There was a sense of fate like meeting an old friend in a foreign country...even though he knew that Mingjing Nan was originally from here.
Then when Nai Minami asked to go to the Summer Festival together, he paused for a moment and quickly agreed... Of course he could understand what the girl meant, but at this time he had no idea of rejection.
After standing there for a while with a look of surprise on his face, Chi Jingyuan shook his head and quickly followed the three members in front. As soon as he got closer, he heard Jin Junmian talking to the boss about the spiciness of squid in broken Japanese.
, with the help of Chi Jingyuan, the deal was quickly reached, and several people stood in front of the stage booth, chatting and waiting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The business was so good that I had to queue up and waited for about ten minutes before I could eat it. Kim Junmyeon is quite generous. Although he didn’t say it, he took the initiative to give it to everyone.
After buying a bunch of squid, Chi Jingyuan gulped down his share of grilled squid. He felt that time was almost up. After wiping his mouth, he was ready to leave: "Brother, you three go and play first. I have something to do here...
"
"mo?"
When Wu Shixun heard this, he looked over in surprise: "It's fine that you often have impromptu things in Seoul, but how can you be so impromptu in Osaka?"
The two brothers next to them also looked over silently. The four of them had just left the house in high spirits and were planning to watch the fireworks display together later. However, within half an hour someone wanted to leave...
"It's quite a coincidence."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and did not deny it. In fact, he still finds it a bit strange and did not expect that things would change like this.
Smiling at Jin Junmian and Do Kyungsoo, Chi Jingyuan waved, not too much, and left: "Brother, you guys go play first, you don't have to wait for me tonight, I will just go back to the hotel by myself.
Already..."
Although several people went out together, if you have to choose between watching the fireworks together with the three members, Kim Junmyun, and watching the fireworks together with the same name, Jin Nan... you don't really need time to think about it.
After Chi Jingyuan left quickly, only three members who seemed to have not yet reacted and still had the sauce from the grilled squid on their mouths were left looking at each other.
No...you, the one who knows best Japanese, ran away, what will we do later?
…………
Saying goodbye to the members without any burden, Chi Jingyuan opened the map and looked around, then walked towards the place he had just made an appointment with Nai Minami on the phone.
The place they met for an appointment was on the street from the Yodogawa Library. It was the place chosen by Nai Minami. It was very eye-catching and not very far from here.
While walking, Chi Jingyuan took out his mask and hat from his bag and put it on. Although no one except his fans may know him, there is still a risk of being discovered... It didn't matter that he was with the members just now, he was discovered when he discovered it, but
It would be different if he was discovered together with Nai Minami.
I wonder if this girl will have to disguise herself after a while.
However, there were many people on the road wearing masks or baseball caps with sun protection, and some people were wearing oil paint masks with local characteristics. The disguised Chi Jingyuan was not very conspicuous.
"..."
He took out his mobile phone and swiped the information at the agreed place. He didn't wait long when Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt someone tap him on the back. When he turned around, he saw Ming Nan's crystal smile.
Perhaps because of the high temperature, her face was reddish, but her smile was bright and dazzling. There was a wisp of sweat on her forehead, and the small moles on her cheeks and the bridge of her nose were very clear up close.
What made Chi Jingyuan pause, and couldn't help but pay attention to the clothes she was wearing at this time...the tight waist, the fitted lines, the collar intertwined at the collarbone, and the white plain surface was dotted with a faint cherry blossom pattern.
Wearing a plain white yukata with local characteristics on her body, she felt as if she had been staying here since spring and refused to say goodbye to the April cherry blossoms.
Thick-soled sandals with black soles and red straps, dark manicure, a clutch held with both hands, a bun specially pulled up on the back of her head to match the clothes, and a pure cotton bathrobe, making her exude a temperament that matches the scenery of the pool.
Quite different from the original impression, but particularly attractive.
If we want to talk about Chi Jingyuan's truest thoughts at this moment... He has the feeling that a girl in a cartoon that makes people love him suddenly walks out of it, vivid and real.
It's also a bit exciting.
Facing Chi Jingyuan's gaze, she pursed her lips slightly, nodded her head, and looked at her with some expectation and some embarrassment... Obviously, it took a lot of courage to come out to meet him in this outfit.
of.
"Why are you dressed so nicely?"
Seemingly aware of the girl's embarrassment, Chi Jingyuan did not hide the surprise that suddenly rose in his heart. He blinked at him and asked sincerely with a smile.
Yukata is a standard outfit for neon summer festivals and firework festivals. From now on, Chi Jingyuan has seen countless men and women wearing similar clothes on the road.
Wearing it this way is very distinctive, very consistent with the strong summer atmosphere around it, and many people look pretty in it, but it was quite novel at first. After seeing it more, Chi Jingyuan felt that it was just like that.
The novelty gradually fades into the ordinary.
However, an impulse that arose in his heart at this time made him secretly refute his previous thoughts... because the beauty before belonged to others.
"hey-hey……"
Mingjing Nan grinned when he heard this, twisted a little shyly, lowered his head and looked at his clothes: "I bought it a long time ago, but I haven't worn it for a long time..."
I mustered up the courage to take the initiative to invite him, but I was still a little nervous after actually meeting him. Although he smiled beautifully, Minami's heart was actually beating very fast at this time. It was the first time for her to attend a summer festival with a boy wearing a yukata.
Coupled with the relatively high temperature, even though the sky was dark, her cheeks were clearly red.
Obviously seeing the girl's embarrassment and shyness, Chi Jingyuan did not continue to stand opposite her. He moved aside so that the two of them could be side by side. Then he walked forward slowly and naturally, asking in a gentle tone.
: "When did you reply to Neon? When I heard you say that on the phone just now, I thought it was a prank!"
"The company gave us a holiday a few days ago and I came back. It was the first day of your concert... Why do you think it was a prank!"
Mingjing Nan was obviously a little dissatisfied with Chi Jingyuan's statement. She hesitated for a long time before making the call.
"Aren't you a scheming Mina?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her.
"No!"
"That's what all your fans say."
"...just a little smarter."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "More than a little bit... What did Hirai Mobi say?"
"Ha ha……"
After a few jokes, the tension in Mingnan's heart was obviously relieved a lot, and the frequency of small steps in her thick-soled slippers became much more natural.
"By the way, why did it come so fast? I thought it would take a long time."
"As I said, transportation is very convenient. I took the Hanshin Line from where I live, and it only took half an hour..."
"...Did you come from home?"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment and looked at Mingnan with confusion. When she saw her gently nodding her head to confirm, his eyes looked even more surprised at her bathrobe. After pondering for a while, he asked tentatively: "From now on?"
If you came over at home...you were dressed like this, didn't your parents say anything?"
Although it was not stated clearly, Nai Minami's parents should have been able to see the implication of going out alone in a yukata at a glance.
"..."
Glancing at Chi Jingyuan angrily, Mingjing Nan bit her lower lip lightly: "I told you..."
Recalling the surprised look in his mother's eyes when she told her to go out and put on a yukata, and the worried look on her face when she put down what she was doing and asked questions, Najing Nan didn't know how to speak.
However, Ms. Nai Sachiko may have already had some impressions of Chi Jingyuan, and they were probably pretty good. After finally saying his name, she seemed to reassure her mother a little bit...
Seeing Ming Jingnan's expression, Chi Jingyuan knew that something must have happened before coming, but he didn't ask further. After taking another look at her bathrobe, he said, "It looks good, but..."
Chi Jingyuan looked down at his slightly plain short-sleeved shorts and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "I always feel like we don't match well..."
How about he also rent a yukata? He just saw several similar shops.
"No, you see many people dress like this."
Mingjing Nan first pointed at the passers-by around him to increase his persuasiveness, and then looked up at Chi Jingyuan with a different kind of brilliance in his eyes: "...very handsome."
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes were placed on the mask on Chi Jingyuan's face. She seemed to remember her identity as an idol and covered her cheeks with her hands: "How about I wear a mask too... It's just that
I forgot to bring it when I came out."
Although not many people in Neon know Twice at the moment, it would be a bit uncomfortable if someone recognized them... And even if others don't know that they are idols, the temperament of the two standing together is really outstanding, and it is quite easy.
Attracting the attention of others.
However, Chi Jingyuan did not agree with her. Instead, he looked up at a rooftop cart not far ahead, and his eyes lit up when he saw a string of masks of Adofu and the God of Rice hanging inside:
