As soon as Chi Jingyuan walked out of the coffee shop, he saw a very familiar face.
Bae Zhuhyun originally lowered her head slightly, put her hands in the pockets on both sides of her coat, and walked quickly this way with small steps, as if she was going to buy a drink in the cafe. She didn't know whether it was because of tacit understanding or because she heard the movement.
The head that had been lowered along the way suddenly raised up, and he looked directly at Chi Jingyuan who was looking over. He saw the face that was engraved in his heart, and there was obvious surprise and other expressions in his eyes.
"What a coincidence?"
When Chi Jingyuan greeted him with a smile, Pei Zhuxuan, after a brief trance, also smiled gently with her lips pursed, looking up at him: "You are still in the company so late? Have you just finished your work?"
"Yes, the meeting has been going on until now..."
"Are you here to buy another drink? Or orange juice?" The young lady poked her head and looked at the bag in Chi Jingyuan's hand.
A transparent bag contained two cups of packaged drinks. One cup she knew at a glance was the orange juice that Chi Jingyuan preferred to drink, and the other was black and steamy...
"Yeah, you know, I don't like to drink anything too sweet."
Seemingly aware of Pei Zhuxuan's gaze, Chi Jingyuan nodded in response, and at the same time lifted the bag in his hand a little unnaturally. Then he didn't talk much about the drink, but looked at Pei Zhuxuan in front of him and looked up and down.
Fan: "Did you just finish recording the show?"
Bae Zhuhyun was wearing a light-colored coat at this time. It was obviously one size too big and it completely wrapped her body, making her look quite petite. Maybe it was because the heating in the building was turned on relatively large. The zipper was only halfway open, revealing a dark blue coat with a red bow tie underneath.
Wearing a knitted sweater and a full face of makeup, it looks like he just came back from recording a program.
"Um……"
As if aware of Chi Jingyuan's unnaturalness at that moment, Pei Zhuxuan glanced at the bag in his hand again, but did not linger. After hearing the other party's question, he followed the other party's gaze and looked down at his own clothes, and then clicked.
He nodded: "I just participated in the recording of "Golden Fishing Ground Radio Star","
"oh?"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan blinked in surprise: "It's pretty good. "Golden Fishing Ground" received good ratings. Was it recorded by one person?"
"Ani, I'm with a few guests..."
Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, then glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then looked away, her voice was soft, but she hesitated: "I still want to thank...Thank you Seunghwan Oppa..."
Since Lee Seung Hwan was promoted from EXO's manager and took charge of their red velvet-related matters, Bae Joo Hyun obviously feels that her treatment in terms of resources has been much better.
Although there are no very important resources, and there is no schedule to directly and significantly increase the popularity and nationality like the fixed MC of "Music Bank" last year, at least the shooting of some magazines and even variety shows has not been interrupted.
It is much better than the previous one who was obviously the most popular but often had no personal resources and could only pick his feet at home.
As for the changes in this, and even why Li Chenghuan took care of her so much, Pei Zhuhyun actually knew the reason in her heart.
"Brother Chenghuan is quite reliable..."
Seeing the young lady's hesitation and insincerity, Chi Jingyuan laughed secretly in his heart, but did not say anything. He nodded and said, "If you need anything, just ask him."
"Um……"
Pei Zhuxuan bit her lower lip and nodded.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan smiled, looked at the young lady he hadn't seen for a few days, and was about to say something casually... However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a little empty in his mind. He who had always been sharp-tongued suddenly realized that he didn't know.
What to say, it even seems like there is nothing to say.
But in fact, Chi Jingyuan could feel that he was quite happy to suddenly meet the young lady. At the same time, there was actually a lot he wanted to say deep down in his heart, but some words were a bit awkward in this situation or the current situation between the two.
The relationship is not very suitable to talk about.
And... thinking that he was about to meet Ming Jingnan at this moment, and he was still holding the drink he bought for her. Although Pei Zhuxuan probably didn't know it, he still felt a little awkward and embarrassed in his heart.
Suddenly, after Qiao smiled and said hello, the scene became inexplicably quiet.
Chi Jingyuan was speechless for a moment, but Bae Zhuhyun couldn't help but recall the scene when her agent explained the itinerary to her the day before yesterday.
"...Irene, I just received the news that the company has received a new schedule for you. In addition to being the presenter of the Entertainment Awards with Jingyuan Xi, you will also be the guest of the KBS Music Festival at the end of the year.
MC!”
"Ah? The MC of the Gayo Daejeon Festival? Didn't Unnie say before that KBS already had a suitable candidate? Maybe... he is paired with Seolhyun Xi? Why did it suddenly change to... me?"
"The original news from KBS was that Seolhyun Xi was tentatively confirmed, but the girl is actually not important. They still focused on Jingyuan Xi. After the invitation was sent, Jingyuan Xi made suggestions, and it seemed that she was an acting major.
Since the awards have all been presented together, why not just continue to let the 'Yinyin CP' partner together at the Daejeon... KBS thought about it and agreed."
"qingjia? Was it...he suggested it?"
"...These are what I heard from the planning department. FNC is probably going to be furious, haha... But Irene, no matter who it was before, it's you now! The MC of the year-end party is a very good one.
The itinerary is a good opportunity to show your face. If you do it well, your appearance will definitely create a topic. The company will hold some activities around this, so you should prepare well... Oh, by the way, you can find an opportunity to thank me personally.
Jingyuanxi, although it is a normal event invitation, it really helped a lot..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of the conversation between his manager and himself the day before yesterday, and the surprise and shock in his heart at that time, Bae Zhuhyun suddenly became a little silent.
She had known before that she would work with Chi Jingyuan to award awards, but MC and awarding awards were completely different. Chi Jingyuan never told her about this matter beforehand, nor did she mention it afterward. She just received it from her manager directly.
The words came out of her mouth, leaving her completely unprepared.
When she heard the news, she was really confused.
...When they were dating, she actually had some reasons, including personal self-esteem, the idea that relationships would become impure once these profit factors were involved, and even the idea of equal and long-term relationships, etc. Maybe at this time
It seems that due to some childish thinking factors, Pei Zhuxuan actually deliberately avoided and tactfully rejected many of the help and resources offered by Chi Jingyuan.
Even when faced with her father's initiative to find good film and television resources for her, she didn't seem to be very enthusiastic. Instead, she found a treasure in a crappy web drama that the company threw to her, and studied hard without sleep or food.
After dating for such a long time, she actually didn't receive any substantial help in terms of career or life. The only regular MC of "Music Bank" who greatly increased her popularity was obtained before the relationship.
She just fell in love very simply, without any thought of getting any benefits. The person she fell in love with was not a top artist from the royal family with a profound background, but the male idol Chi Jingyuan whom she liked from the bottom of her heart.
However, time has changed, and she pursued the purity of feelings when she was in love. Now that the two have broken up, she has clearly felt all kinds of energy and care from Chi Jingyuan, and there are even many things that he has never mentioned.
, but it still lingers around me, everywhere.
This kind of comparison before and after really made Pei Zhu feel very complicated, and at the same time she felt a sense of well-deserved discomfort... But other than that, she couldn't help but feel joy and emotion in her heart.
... After struggling in this turbid circle, seeing many people and things, and experiencing various setbacks, I realized how happy it is to have the most trustworthy person to rely on and rely on.
Unfortunately... they have broken up.
"..."
Trying hard to suppress the complex emotions that surged in her heart, Pei Zhuxuan unnaturally pulled her hair into a bun with her hands. She looked at Chi Jingyuan with a slightly wandering gaze, and her voice sounded a little weak; "By the way, not yet.
Thank you...well, about the KBS MC MC..."
"What's there to be thankful for..."
Chi Jingyuan was actually worried because of the slightly awkward atmosphere at this time. Hearing this, he felt relieved and immediately interrupted the hesitating young lady with a smile and waved his hand: "Seolhyun and I are not familiar with each other. Compared to her, I
Of course I would rather partner with you... We are the CPs of "Yin Yin"~"
As he spoke, Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes, raised his other hand that was not carrying anything, made a half-heart sign on his head, and said with a smile: "When you need music..."
This is their signature move when hosting "Music Bank". Whenever this happens, Bae Zhuhyun will lean to his side, stretch out her hands to form a complete heart, and then look at the camera and wink and shout "Sheng Broadcasting, Music Bank~"
Conclusion.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's sudden convulsive movement, Pei Zhuxuan, who seemed a little unnatural just now, was immediately amused. She bent her eyes and covered her mouth and giggled non-stop... However, she did not come over to convulse together like before.
He just stood there and smiled.
Feeling the strange glances from several staff members on the other side of the hall, Chi Jingyuan put down his arms in embarrassment, and the surroundings fell into a brief silence.
"that……"
After two seconds of silence, Pei Zhuxuan looked up at him. He inadvertently stretched out his right hand from his pocket, rubbed it on the surface of the coat twice and then retracted it. After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth and issued an invitation: "If you have just finished your work,
, I guess you haven’t eaten yet... Do you want to go to the cafeteria upstairs and have something to eat?"
She looked at her ex-boyfriend expectantly, and Bae Zhuhyun didn't know why she suddenly proposed this invitation... Maybe she wanted to thank MC for something, or maybe she wanted to talk to him?
...Or, are you testing something?
However, facing her gaze, Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly and shrugged helplessly: "Well... next time..."
After refusing, Chi Jingyuan then added an explanation: "...I have something to do later. Brother Zhichang should wait for me outside now...next time."
"Well, that's it." After hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan's expression remained unchanged, her beautiful eyes looked at him with a smile, and she nodded lightly: "Then I won't delay you, go quickly... Don't let Brother Zhichang wait.
Already."
"Well... then I'll leave first."
As time went by, the brief encounter came to an abrupt end. Chi Jingyuan waved goodbye and left quickly with a drink.
Pei Zhuxuan, with a smile on her face, did not leave, but quietly watched Chi Jingyuan's leaving figure. At the end, her eyes slowly and faintly focused on the two drinks in his hands.
Chi Jingyuan may not have noticed that he was acting unnaturally...but she knew him so well that she could keenly detect every little movement and change in his eyes, as if it was her instinct.
And she also knew that Chi Jingyuan usually couldn't finish a drink... and he also didn't have the habit of bringing drinks to his assistant.
The smile on Pei Zhuhyun's face faded, and she felt a strong sense of loss in her heart, and she slowly walked towards the coffee shop.
Sure enough, if you give up and don't fight for it, no one will stay where you are and wait.
…………
Parking the car in the parking lot next to Twice dormitory, Chi Jingyuan was also thinking about the chance encounter with Bae Zhuhyun just now.
He is a nostalgic person to begin with, not to mention his father who has experienced so many things together and has so many memories.
After going through so much from his debut to now, Bae Zhuhyun is still the only girl who has experienced strong emotions and frustrations due to the breakup. It is completely different from the feelings he had with his previous good friends, and he still can't get rid of it to this day.
.
In addition, the breakup was not his original intention at the beginning, so the young lady has always occupied a special place in his heart until now.
Although they have separated, Chi Jingyuan has never felt that the two of them have lost contact. He still unconsciously wants to take care of her. During the period when they just broke up, he often thought about possible developments in the future.
"well……"
Thinking of the change in Pei Zhuxuan's eyes when he finally refused the invitation, Chi Jingyuan sighed softly.
Although I still have a special feeling for her, and the past bonds and memories are still in my heart, but... after all, it has been so long, and some of the enthusiasm seems to have faded unconsciously after a long period of no contact.
Chi Jingyuan had not felt this at first, but the inexplicable awkward atmosphere and coldness in the brief encounter just now made him feel very uncomfortable. Looking back now, he felt quite complicated.
I don't know if it's just him who feels this way...or if Bae Zhuhyun is the same...
"boom……"
At this moment, the car door was opened, and the biting cold wind and little snowflakes rushed in at the same time. A tightly wrapped little body came in from the outside. It seemed that it was not very convenient to move because of the thick clothes. She
He also struggled to raise his buttocks to adjust his sitting position, then stretched out his hands that had been shrunk in his sleeves, and patted his body softly, brushing off the snow specks that fell on them, and finally let out a loud groan.
Close the door.
Then she took off the fur-collared hat on her head, and without a moment's delay, her eyes as moist as autumn water looked straight towards Chi Jingyuan.
As the tip of his nose smelled a familiar fragrance of cherry, Chi Jingyuan immediately suppressed the complicated and irritable thoughts in his heart and stopped thinking about it... We will talk about Pei Zhuxuan later. No matter what, his current girlfriend is by his side.
This girl.
Chi Jingyuan turned his head and looked over, their eyes met. Under the reading light, he could clearly see his full reflection in Najing Nan's pupils.
Feeling warm in his heart, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to brush his little girlfriend's bangs, which were messed up because she took off her hat, behind her ears. He looked at the thick down jacket on her body and asked casually: "Why is it so thick?"
"It's so cold outside!"
Mingjing Nan gasped, and at the same time, her feet in round-toed boots thumped around. Her tone seemed a little impatient, and she stretched out her hand hidden in her cuffs and naughtily rubbed Chi Jingyuan's face.
, seems to want to prove that it is really cold outside.
Chi Jingyuan shivered and quickly took off the cold little hand that was attached to her face and held it in her hand to warm her up... Mingjing Nan is a person who is very afraid of the cold. He is so afraid that he can't help being anxious and will get angry.
.
Putting his hand obediently in Chi Jingyuan's hand, enjoying the warmth of her boyfriend's body, Mingjing Nan bent her eyes and explained happily: "We bought this down jacket together, everyone has one, look at this
It's very warm... I went to do manicures with Sana-chan and Chaeyoung in the afternoon, so we just happened to put them on together... By the way, look, I just did it this afternoon, does it look good?"
She said she wanted to show Chi Jingyuan a manicure, but she had no intention of taking her hand out of Chi Jingyuan's hand. On the contrary, Chi Jingyuan felt her hand scratching her hand slightly and pushing it inward.
…
But after hearing what she said, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but take another look at the down jacket she was wearing.
The style is indeed quite ordinary, nothing special...but it looks good on Nai Minami~
"By the way, I bought you a drink..."
After taking a look, Chi Jingyuan remembered something, took out the drink specially brought from the company, felt the temperature and handed it over: "It's still hot."
"Thank you Yuan-chan~"
Although the warm hands were gone, he was still very happy to see the gift. Ming Jingnan took the drink and held it in his hand, sipping it while keeping his eyes locked on Chi Jingyuan and watching him put the car into gear.
