Zhou Ziyu's sudden appearance was like taking out a silencer. The room that had been lively just now suddenly became silent, and only the voice of Ming Jingnan's storytelling was still vaguely echoing in his ears.
In fact, most of the members of Twice know Zhou Ziyu's little thoughts. After hearing about the relationship between Ming Jingnan and Chi Jingyuan, they were surprised and thought of this first thing. Just now they were worried about Ming Jingnan's return.
What will happen next? Now the expected picture has indeed come true.
Several people looked at Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan with some worry, their eyes were sad, and they hesitated to speak. After experiencing Park Jihyo just now, they were afraid that the two people would suddenly quarrel, making the already cracked team atmosphere even worse.
Although they are in the same group as Nai Minami, to be honest, many of them have a very good relationship with Zhou Ziyu. Not to mention that Sun Chaeyoung is from the same dormitory, and Minazaki Saka has always been very close to this maknae. At this time, she saw
There was obviously something wrong with the two of them, and they were very anxious.
Mingjing Nan looked at Zhou Ziyu with a calm expression at the door, their eyes met in the air, and she pursed her lips without leaving any trace.
She actually expected it before she came back.
"Tzuyu... inside."
Mingjing Nan stood up and gave Zhou Ziyu a smile. Under the worried but curious eyes of a group of people, the two of them walked to the balcony at the back.
Minatozaki Saka and the others looked at their backs, glanced at each other, and looked at each other speechlessly.
With a "bang", the curtains closed and the balcony door was closed. A transparent glass door seemed like a chasm, separating two silent rooms where even the air was frozen.
The honking horns and engine sounds of traffic on the road in the distance lingered in the distance, and the sound left by the cold wind passing through the gaps in the windows made the small balcony seem even more silent.
From the bright bedroom to the dark balcony, not only did the two people's eyes become darker and deeper, making it difficult to see the emotions inside, the suddenly cold temperature also made their bodies tremble involuntarily as they walked in.
Fortunately, the time it took to return to the dormitory was still short, so it didn't matter to Mingjing Nan before she had time to change clothes. Although Zhou Ziyu only wore a coat outside her pajamas, it didn't seem to have any impact.
After walking in, neither of the two people spoke. Zhou Ziyu stared at the night light in the distance, not knowing what she thought of, her pupils had no focus, and Mingjing Nan did not make a sound, but there was no maknae next to him.
So there is no one around.
"Onie..."
After a while, the screeching sound of the engine of a street racing car gradually faded away. Zhou Ziyu seemed to have come back to his senses. He turned around and looked at Mingjing Nan. He hesitated and spoke. His voice sounded rippled for the first time.
Not surprised, but upon closer inspection, there seems to be a hint of expectation and prayer: "Are you really dating him?"
Looking at Mingjing Nan in front of him, Zhou Ziyu couldn't tell what kind of emotion he felt towards this familiar Ernie, anger, sadness, disappointment, surprise, or jealousy?
Maybe both.
When I first heard the news in the car, I was really shocked. I was stunned like a thunderbolt, and I didn't recover for a long time.
She has always been the closest to Chi Jingyuan in her heart, and the relationship is also the most special. The other members of Twice also know this, and they are just waiting for the relationship to gradually change as they get older... Why did she suddenly
A man named Jingnan emerged?
After a moment of surprise, uncontrollable anger and panic arose in my heart.
Not long after she came to the peninsula in 2012, she met Chi Jingyuan until now. It can be said that that person has been with her all the time since she left home. He has long been imprinted on every corner of her life, and she doesn't know where she started from.
At that time, my feelings began to change... maybe it was last year's "Rooftop Room", maybe it was the emotion I felt in 2014, or maybe earlier.
Anyway, since the relationship turned sour, Zhou Ziyu has never considered other people at all, now or in the future, nor has she imagined what her life would be like without Chi Jingyuan by her side.
When I first started falling in love when I was young, I met the stunning Chi Jingyuan. I pretended to be a perfect person, so I felt a little bit inferior to everyone I looked at.
Although she knew very well that Chi Jingyuan had been dating and the girlfriends around her were almost seamless, but maybe because it didn't happen to her and she didn't have personal experience, Zhou Ziyu didn't feel any sense of crisis even though she knew about it.
, she also seemed a little naive and thought it would not have any impact on her.
However, when she learned that the person standing next to Chi Jingyuan had become the member of the group she had been with day and night, Ming Jingnan, she had a strong sense of reality for the first time, and for the first time she had the possibility of
The fear of losing him and "he doesn't belong to me anymore".
Until now at night, after I have calmed down a bit, the anger in my heart has actually been suppressed a lot, and my heart is filled with various other complex emotions.
But when she saw Ernie's face, which she usually felt close to, Zhou Ziyu felt a little awkward.
"Um……"
Mingjing Nan heard the heart-wrenching plea in Zhou Ziyu's voice, but she was silent for a few seconds and nodded gently.
At this time, both Mingnan's expression and voice had returned to their normal gentleness, without any of the aggression he had when facing the captain just now. He was even softer than usual, and still had a little bit of guilt.
The quarrel between her and Park Ji Hyo was already against some of her nature, but she just made it public because she couldn't bear it anymore.
But at this time, facing this Zhou Ziyu who is usually as quiet and soft as her, even when facing this rival in love, she does not speak Korean fluently, but she still makes habitual knots after every sentence.
Baba's maknae used the honorific 'Smita', but she really couldn't find the sharpness and strength she had just now.
Moreover, she knew that her boyfriend had an extremely close relationship with the maknae, and she knew that Chi Jingyuan would be unhappy if she and Zhou Ziyu quarreled.
But... although she felt a little guilty, she might have given in to Zhou Ziyu in other aspects, but when it came to her boyfriend...
"..."
After receiving Ming Jingnan's affirmative reply, Zhou Ziyu was slightly startled, and her last hope was shattered. She bit her lower lip unconsciously. In order to maintain her self-esteem, she tried her best to make a calm expression and looked at Ming Jingnan.
Jing Nan: "Onie, when did you and him... get together?"
"It's been more than three months..." Mingjing Nan didn't hide it either.
"That was in July and August. It was so early and I didn't even know..."
Zhou Ziyu silently calculated the time, his expression darkened without leaving any trace, then he cheered up, and then asked: "Unnie, do you know that he and I have known each other for a long, long, long time?"
"Well, Ziyu, you happened to know him when you first came to the peninsula."
The members of Twice also got a general idea later on, and Mingjing Nan heard it from Sana and wanted to be more detailed. Even in the early days, Zhou Ziyu’s tickets to EXO’s concert were given by Chi Jingyuan.
Know.
"Onie, you are already in a relationship and your relationship is so close. Why are you pretending that you are not familiar with each other during this period?"
"because……"
"Well Unnie, before you dated him...did you know that I had always...liked him?"
"……I know."
Although sometimes he pretends to be pretentious, he doesn't pretend completely, and not even a blind person can see it.
"So, Ernie..."
Zhou Ziyu spoke faster and faster. After asking a few questions, it seemed that the anger in her heart had reached the highest point. Then she directly showed her own sharpness. She interrupted Mingjing Nan, looked at her, and led
In a sarcastic tone, he said stiffly every word: "So, Ernie... do you like stealing other people's things?"
Although he still speaks stumbling Korean and uses lame honorifics, the emotionless "Smecta" at the end of the sentence can't cover up the suppressed anger and questioning. This is the first time Najing Nan has met the team members.
This maknae never blushes at any time, even if something happens to her, she just looks like a depressed maknae.
But this seems to be her limit... This well-behaved maknae still can't do things like shouting and yelling.
Facing Zhou Ziyu's questioning, Mingjing Nan hesitated for a moment. Even though she felt guilty, she still couldn't resist the nameless fire growing vigorously.
She really doesn't like the word 'steal'.
I don't like it, I really don't like it.
Hearing this, her harmless eyes suddenly changed, she pursed her lips, tried to keep a calm tone, looked at Zhou Ziyu, her voice was soft, but it sounded inexplicably tough:
"Then...does he know...that he is your thing?"
"..."
After hearing these words, Zhou Ziyu, who had suppressed his anger just now, was stunned for a moment, and his body froze there, as if he was frozen by an invisible force.
Yes, he knows...does he belong to me?
Does he know...I've always liked him?
Maybe it's because they've been together for too long, or maybe the relationship is too close. Zhou Ziyu has always been accustomed to the special close relationship with Chi Jingyuan, and she should treat him as her own.
But now that she thought about it, she realized that she had never expressed her feelings and thoughts to Chi Jingyuan directly. She had always gotten along with him as a friend or even a sister. The only time she crossed the line was when she secretly kissed Chi Jingyuan while watching a movie at his house.
I gave him a bite...but Chi Jingyuan was asleep at the time and didn't even know about it.
Looking back now, when Chi Jingyuan got along with her in private, and when he contacted her on the phone, whether he was laughing and scolding or making habitual complaints about others, the feeling was obviously closer to treating a friend or even a sister. The person he often complained about was Zhou Ziyu.
She is still a 'little brat', and every time she talks, she is treated like a child.
Moreover, he often talked to her about his relationship between men and women, and he did not shy away from saying things like "I went out to eat with my girlfriend yesterday."
Looking at it now, there is no ambiguity between the two people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyu's face became paler.
She knows Chi Jingyuan very well. She knows that Chi Jingyuan is very discerning and can often easily guess a girl's thoughts through observation, so the other party should not be completely ignorant of her little thoughts, but should be somewhat aware of them.
That's right.
But the more she understood, the sadder she became.
...Because, knowing but deliberately pretending not to know is equivalent to showing attitude...
Her mind was in chaos after being asked by Mingjing Nan. It seemed like countless voices were shouting and laughing. The anger in her heart was extinguished by cold water in an instant. She always felt that Mingjing Nan had stolen the man who belonged to her. She felt that she
The strength that stood at the commanding heights of justice was instantly wiped out.
The reason why she was very angry just now was because she had acquiesced in her relationship with Chi Jingyuan. She also knew that the members of Twice knew something about this, so she was very disdainful and angry about Mingjing Nan's sneaky behavior.
Betrayed.
But at this moment, the point of support in my heart suddenly collapsed. Many words, many questions, and many ridicules that had been brewing before were suddenly unable to be said. I was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
Seeing Zhou Ziyu suddenly become depressed and sad, Mingjing Nan paused slightly, feeling a little guilty brewing in his heart.
She and Zhou Ziyu actually have some similarities, whether it is their personality, the way they deal with things, or their non-competitive style in the team. Both of them are relatively quiet, gentle and reserved types.
Maybe only something related to love would make two girls with such personalities blush at each other.
But when it comes to feelings, she will never give in.
Mingjing Nan gathered his thoughts and said with obvious fluctuations in his voice: "No one is anyone's private property. You are not his, and he is not yours. You may have known each other very early, and may have a good relationship, but as long as there is no
In a formal relationship, there is no reason to stop me or other people's feelings for him."
"Actually, if we talk about the time we met, I'm not much later than you. Maybe we didn't know each other for as long as you and Yuan-chan. There were a lot of trivial daily life in between. But the moment he appeared in front of me, I instantly became acquainted with him.
My world is full."
"But Tzuyu, relationships don't come in a first-come, first-served basis. It's not about knowing each other earlier or later."
In a daze, Mingjing Nan remembered the first time she and Chi Jingyuan met in the club in 2014. It was one of her most profound memories so far. They may not have known each other that long, but when it came to the bond of fate, she could not
Thinking that I am worse than Zhou Ziyu.
As she said that, she looked at Zhou Ziyu who was speechless, paused for a moment as if he was hesitating, and then said: "Since you have known him so long ago, you should have understood him first and more deeply than others.
Excellent is the right thing.”
"Everyone cares about excellent men. Why do you think that for such an excellent man, no one else will discover his advantages, no one else will like him and take action? Why do you think that he will always stay where he is and accompany him there?
Are you playing house?"
"Tzuyu, you are not a child anymore..."
The familiar word "little child" reached her ears, and Zhou Ziyu's body trembled. She felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
After saying this, Mingnan seemed to be aware of the impact on the maknae, and did not continue speaking. She slowly moved forward, stood in front of the window and looked at the towering and brilliant skyscrapers in the distance.
.Listening to the noisy sounds of tires rubbing and horns honking in my ears, I fell silent for a moment.
Although she seemed to have the upper hand and easily handled the maknae's questions, she still felt her chest was tight and her mood was confused.
She doesn't want this, but...
"I'm very sorry……"
After being quiet for a long time, Ming Jingnan breathed out gently, pursed her lips vigorously, turned around, raised her head and looked at Zhou Ziyu who was in a daze, and whispered:
"But I'm not sorry about the fact that Gen-chan and I are together."
"I'm just sorry... I kept hiding it from you before."
