Chapter 341 Will it pass?

Pei Zhuxuan has been in a really bad mood recently.

red velvet is really going from bad to worse these days.

Because of the timing of their debut, they have been on the cusp since their debut. They have been attacked and discredited by fans of countless other senior groups of the company, and the entire Internet has been scolded.Because of the appearance and makeup of the debut song, the four people are collectively called the parrot group, the quadruplets, all kinds of titles full of ridicule and sarcasm are crowned on Pei Zhuxuan and the others like money, and there is even a person who speaks for them on the entire Internet Couldn't find a few.

But the failure of their debut did not knock them down, because Led Beibei and the others who had struggled for so long as trainees would not be so easily discouraged, and the company did not give up on them, and soon arranged for them to be the first return.

For this comeback, the four of them are doing their best. In order to dance neatly, they stay up late every day among the trainees. August and September are very hot days. Even if the air conditioner is turned on, they still can’t resist the scorching heat. Breath, just practicing for a while is like sweating profusely after taking a bath.

Chair dance is not so easy to dance. When you are not proficient, you will often bump into pain. If you stand on it with high heels and don’t pay attention, you will easily fall off the chair. Whether it is Pei Zhuxuan or Jiang Seulqi Sun Sheng Everyone was injured, but no one complained, everyone gritted their teeth and held their breath.

Anyone who has ever filmed a one-shot MV knows how difficult it is. If you make a mistake, you have to start all over again, and you don’t know how long you have worked overtime.

For this comeback, they really worked hard and worked hard.

At that time, there was a siege on the Internet, and all the black fans wanted them to disband in place. It was the most difficult time to form a group, but they were still very energetic and motivated every day. When the four of them were in the dormitory at night, they would often cheer each other up because of the attacks from the outside world. For example, the maknae and Jiang Seulgi sometimes cry very sadly because of the huge pressure and being scolded too badly while talking, but they still haven't dispelled their determination and firmness in order to return to reverse the current situation.

Everyone has put all their seriousness and energy into this time, and pinned their hopes on this comeback, hoping that through it, they can change the countless criticisms and extremely bad impressions of them on the Internet today.

It's a pity that these expectations and hopes came to an abrupt end a few days ago.

It has been more than half a month since red velvet's comeback "Be Natural" released its sound source on October 10th, and it is basically a conclusion.

There is no splash in the performance of this song, and the sound source is out of the list at light speed.

During the time when there was a lot of scolding and all kinds of swear words, Pei Zhuxuan and the others were afraid to read comments about themselves on the Internet during the short time they could use their mobile phones after returning home every night.

I won't be able to sleep after watching it.

They are also very focused on preparing and performing on the singing stage starting from the 9th, but it can be said that all of them are invalid playing songs until now. Except for the few fans who really like them, no one pays attention at all. Their singing skills or stage.

Not to mention one and one alternate, they haven't even made it to the top ten of the show. Every time one of them presents an award, he stands in the last row and looks at the crowd of idol groups in front of him. to several shots.

The company also arranged for them to participate in several variety shows for publicity, but most of them were also used as background panels for vases. There were not many shots in the whole process, and there was no room for performance other than clapping and smiling for the reaction. The ones with more shots, like the "Weekly Idol" that was recorded and broadcast not long ago, have gained another harvest after it was broadcast...

In addition to scolding, or scolding.

"Ugly girl!"

"Disband!"

"Death to the parrot group!"

"Seduce my Oppa, do you really think that our Oppa likes you? I laughed so hard."

"A girl group that relies on being Kim Young-min's concubine to rob other people's resources is disgusting."

"We want Girls' Generation! We want FX!"

As long as you open the comments on red velvet, there must be all kinds of swear words on it. Even Pei Zhuxuan, who seldom swears, is very angry when he is insulted like this: "Who seduced him? Why haven't I dated him before?" Chasing and scolding me every day? And is it worth it for you to say it?"

"If you want Girls' Generation to go see them, isn't TTS just coming back? It's a variety show and a hit song. Why did you come here and scold us? You must be sick!"

"On FX, Cui Xueli's movie was released, and Oh Soo-jin's TV series was also released last month, you guys should watch it, why are you chasing us?"

When she saw these comments, she really wanted to reply directly to them, speak out what was in her heart, and fight back fiercely.

But the profession of idol does not allow her to do so.

After anger, there is desolation and sadness, as well as grievance and confusion that fills the whole body.

After spending so much sweat and working so hard for so many years, I finally got my debut, but now I am in such a situation, and returning with all my strength not only has no rewards, the only gain is more scolding.

All the expectations and beautiful visions before debut are now all in vain, leaving only a gray sky with no way forward.

And she thought that if she officially became an idol, she could be closer to Chi Jingyuan on the same level, but after she really debuted, she suddenly found out that she is farther away than before. I realized that the popularity is as different as the dimensional wall.

Just like some black fans said on the Internet, 'It's not a world at all'.

Originally, she would often send text messages to Chi Jingyuan to chat and joke with each other, but later because her mobile phone was controlled after her debut, she lost a lot of contact.

And now, even if Pei Zhuxuan can get her mobile phone at night, the strong sense of gap and self-esteem make her unwilling to take the initiative to contact the other party.

Especially when thinking about the high spirits she had in front of him before her debut, and the confidence she showed when she thought she could stand up before this comeback, and looking at their current miserable situation, Pei Zhuxuan felt that she was so embarrassed, as if she was a clown.

There were no activities from this afternoon until now. The red velvets stayed in the practice room all the time, and Pei Zhuxuan was angry because he saw some black fans at night who said ugly things about him, so he didn't advance with others. When I went back, I practiced dancing alone in the practice room as if venting, until I was exhausted and stayed on the floor for a long time before I packed up my things and prepared to go back.

As the captain and eldest sister, she doesn't like to cry or show weakness in front of the members. Even recently, when others often wiped their tears in the dormitory at night, she was really sad and wanted to cry. But they all endured.

Crazy dance practice alone has now become a way for her to vent her feelings.

Just standing in front of the elevator, the moment the door opened, her mood that had just calmed down suddenly became chaotic.

Chi Jing didn't expect to see Pei Zhuxuan at this time, and she was only alone at this time.

It's already early in the morning, red velvet doesn't need to prepare for a comeback, I heard that there aren't too many activities recently, does she need to be so busy before going back?

A man and a woman outside the elevator door looked at each other, and they were all surprised when they froze at the same time.

Neither of them spoke, Pei Zhuxuan walked in silently after looking at each other for two seconds, and took two extra steps into the elevator, standing obliquely behind Chi Jingyuan, so that he could not see herself from behind.

Slowly, the elevator door closed and began to descend.

"So coincidentally?"

Chi Jingyuan turned sideways slightly, glanced at Pei Zhuxuan behind him, and greeted calmly.

At this time, Pei Zhuxuan was wearing a slightly long gray hooded sweater with a cute bear pattern on the chest logo. The slightly childish style didn't seem to match her age.

Below are black casual sports pants that are a little closer to outline the line of the legs, and a pair of white sneakers on the feet look quite small.

Her hair was combed back and tied into a ball head, completely exposing her entire face. Sporadic air bangs were scattered on both sides of her forehead and cheeks. At this moment, there are still some water stains on her forehead. I know whether it is sweat or left over from washing my face.

It may be because I have washed my face, the makeup on my face is very light, the dark circles under my eyes and my dark complexion are all exposed, and I can tell at a glance that I have been in a bad mood recently and haven't had a good rest.

"..." Hearing Chi Jingyuan's voice, Pei Zhuxuan seemed a little flustered, looked up at him with a forced smile and nodded but didn't speak, then seemed to realize something, quickly lowered his head, and stepped back inadvertently took a step.

Because there are no high-heeled shoes and inner heightening blessings, Pei Zhuxuan, who only wears sneakers, shows her true height. At this time, she stands in front of Chi Jingyuan and looks a little delicate and miniature. This step back is like Chi Jingyuan doing Something bad like that.

Seeing her like this, and thinking of Pei Zhuxuan's recent changes in meeting and Red Velvet's current situation, Chi Jingyuan secretly sighed in his heart, and roughly understood.

If it was him, he probably wouldn't lick his face and talk to the other party. On the contrary, if he had more self-esteem and professionalism, he would take the initiative to stay away.

Because Pei Zhuxuan did not speak, the elevator fell into silence, only the roaring sound of falling could be heard.

"one person?"

After a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan asked again, but this time he didn't look back, but looked at the reflective elevator door in front of him.

"...inside." Pei Zhuxuan lowered her head and raised her eyes to take a look. Seeing that he didn't look back, she settled down for a moment, and replied softly.

Afterwards, the whole elevator fell into silence. Chi Jingyuan stood in front without saying a word, and Pei Zhuxuan stood silently at the back looking at his toes.

When they reached the first floor with a 'ding' sound, Chi Jingyuan walked out first, Pei Zhuxuan followed behind after a moment of bluntness, and the two walked towards the side door one after the other as if they were in an elevator.

At this time, most of the employees of SM Company have already left work. Even though the incandescent lights are very bright, they still can’t cover up the silent atmosphere in the corridor. Only two different but regular footsteps, one heavy and one light, are gradually going away. .

When he was about to reach the side door, Chi Jingyuan stopped suddenly, turned around, looked at Pei Zhuxuan and nodded his chin: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

The sudden brake ahead made Pei Zhuxuan startled, and almost ran into him without stopping.

After she stopped moving forward, she stood where she was, and was a little surprised when she heard Chi Jingyuan's invitation. She looked up at him, pursed her lips and said nothing.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she seemed to have remembered something, looked at a poster of Girls' Generation Kim Taeyeon hanging on the wall next to her, and nodded slightly.

Walking to the door, Chi Jingyuan put on his hat and mask, saw Pei Zhuxuan took out a baseball cap from the bag on his back and put it on his head, he stared at the Kodak duck on it, and then turned his gaze to her face: "Don't you wear a mask?"

Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, not sure if it meant she didn't bring it or it was unnecessary.

Pretending to be good, after Chi Jingyuan sent a message to Park Jae-hyun, he opened the door and walked out, while Pei Zhuxuan followed gently behind.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan only saw Pei Zhuxuan and red velvet's current appearance as a temporary impulse, he was anxious to go back to sleep before.

I didn't have any plans for where to go or what to say. After walking out of the SM building, I thought about it quickly, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the Han River.

Pei Zhuxuan, on the other hand, was the same as in the company before, not raising her head much, just silently following behind him without making a sound, staring at the ground as if she was afraid that she would be tripped by something.

Walking all the way to Yanjiang Avenue, seeing a familiar place, and the memory of the past echoed in her mind, she gave Chi Jingyuan a surprised look.

It was already past the early hours of the morning, and the temperature in the middle of the night was a bit chilly. As far as the eye could see, there were only one or two figures here and there along the walkway along the river.

Chi Jingyuan glanced back, not far away, Park Jae-hyun drove a car and parked nearby.

Park Jae-hyun came here to send him back later, and at the same time followed behind to see if any reporters were secretly taking pictures.

But even if it was photographed, it would not have any impact on Chi Jingyuan, even if he didn't say anything, the company would take the initiative to suppress it.

And it was so late, the surrounding area was very empty and there were no two people in sight.

After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan casually found a wooden chair and sat down, while Pei Zhuxuan hesitated a little beside him, and then sat down, but it was not very close, and there was a distance of nearly a distance between Chi Jingyuan and Chi Jingyuan. Half a meter away.

The two sat silently on the chairs, looking at the bridges on the Han River in the distance with colorful lights, and listening to the gurgling sound of the river in front of them, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. .

The slightly cold evening wind gently blew the ends of the hair. The temperature was obviously cold, but neither of them seemed to feel it. They just sat there quietly, staring blankly, or looking ahead.

Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything after the two sat down, and kept looking at the moonlight and reflection on the water of the Han River ahead with his mouth pursed.

Tao’s resignation from the group just happened today, and he’s actually not in a good mood after seeing so many negative comments on EXO on the Internet. He suddenly invited Pei Zhuxuan out for a walk. Apart from wanting to comfort her, there are also many people who want to relax mean.

However, he felt a little depressed and was blown by the wind after sitting here. After looking at the brightly lit night scene of Seoul in the distance, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

With a soft breath, Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at Pei Zhuxuan.

After sitting down, she glanced at Jiang Jing for a short time, then quickly lowered her head, her eyes were blank and empty, apparently she was preoccupied and her attention was not here, her whole body showed a tightened posture, although she was older than Chi Jingyuan , but the little one looked a little pitiful sitting there.

Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting next to her, could also see the low pressure lingering around her clearly.

Chi Jingyuan didn't take the initiative to say anything, although he could barely empathize with him because he had a similar experience of being hacked when he debuted, but some simple comforts don't have much meaning, and Pei Zhuxuan may not really need them.

Looking at Pei Zhuxuan who was sitting silently in a daze like a puppet, Chi Jingyuan blinked, took the shoulder bag behind him to his front, opened the zipper and began to search.

He quickly took out a pack of peanut-flavored chocolate bars in a light yellow package and held it in his hand.It was the one in their EXO-K commercial last time. He thought it was delicious and bought a lot of it. He would often take it with him and eat a few bites.

He directly opened the package, squeezed out a chocolate bar, and handed the package to Pei Zhuxuan.

The sound of turning over the bag or opening the package was actually quite loud just now, but Pei Zhuxuan remained in a daze as if she hadn't heard it, until a bag of chocolate bars suddenly appeared in front of her, and she woke up suddenly.

Then, when she just came back to her senses, she was a little stunned when she saw the familiar chocolate in front of her, and the picture from the previous commercial shooting reappeared in front of her eyes.

At that time, although they hadn't returned this time, the situation of the group was not fundamentally different from what it is now.

At that time, she was also depressed and sad, and she didn't really want to communicate with others.

But what also appeared in front of them was exactly the same chocolate bar.

Chi Jingyuan's hand was holding the package all the time without feeling tired, but Pei Zhuxuan looked at it for a long time and then turned his head to look at Chi Jingyuan who raised his eyebrows slightly for the first time since she sat down. Glistening and complex.

After a few seconds of delay, she stretched out her hand to grab the package, pulled the package away from Chi Jingyuan's hand, picked up a chocolate bar that came out, and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing hard. Biting seems to be venting something.

However, she chewed and cried.

The tears came down quickly, just like the fickle rainstorm in summer. Just now, she had a calm and dull face, but in an instant, the tears rushed up like a bank bursting, and a face with a bad complexion immediately blossomed with rain.

Her emotions were obviously a little out of control. While biting something in her mouth, she couldn't help cursing: "I... I saw a lot of people who scolded me on the Internet tonight... I thought I was scolded so much It will take a long time to get used to it...I didn't expect it to be unbearable."

While crying, she was still eating, and she spoke vaguely with sobbing and choking sounds,

"I'm sick. I didn't mess with them. Why do I have to do this? I've never been so uncomfortable with a cold or fever before..."

"Ugh..."

"Obviously I have worked so hard, but it is useless at all... I also comforted the members and said that this is a test for us, as long as we persist and endure, we will pass... But I don't have much confidence anymore. Wherever there are people, they scold us. I have been looking forward to my debut for so many years, but now it looks like this. It feels like the sky around me is gray everywhere..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was listening, couldn't help but look up at the sky. The pitch-black night sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray screen, blocking all the starlight that should have been seen, leaving only the lonely moon People hang there sadly.

Then he turned his gaze back to Pei Zhuxuan, her face was puddled with tears, her eyes and nose were a little red, and the corners of her mouth were covered with crumbs of chocolate bars, looking pitiful and funny.

"Isn't it ugly?" Pei Zhuxuan, whose emotions were a little uncontrollable, didn't pay as much attention to her image in front of Chi Jingyuan as before, felt the eyes looking at her, and asked in a tone of voice without hesitation.

"Yes." Chi Jingyuan nodded honestly, telling the truth.

He actually restrained himself a bit, because in fact he felt that it was more than 'a little'.

'what. "Pei Zhuxuan cried out, squeezed his fist angrily and beat Chi Jingyuan hard, looking at his face, he felt a little angry: "Your fans say I seduce you every day, did I seduce you?Why do they keep chasing me and scolding me for something that is obviously nothing? Isn't EXO amazing? "

"A little bit." He smacked his lips, looked at Pei Zhuxuan who was crying and staring at him with watery eyes, and replied hesitantly.

"Ugh..."

Pei Zhuxuan seemed to be so angry by Chi Jingyuan's answer that he cried even harder, with a chocolate bar that was just fed in his mouth, half of which was exposed outside like a pipe, and then he beat him hard The butt moved back a bit, raised his legs and put them together on the chair, covered his face with his hands and hugged his legs and curled up, his body trembling and crying non-stop.

Looking at her like this, I don't know why a chuckle suddenly appeared on Chi Jingyuan's face. He shook his head, reached out and turned up the hat that came with Pei Zhuxuan's sweater and covered her head with the braid of the ball head. Afterwards, the bulging top of the hat looks a little cute.

He himself was quietly sitting beside him, listening to her happy cries that had been accumulated for a long time, while looking at the crippled moon in the sky, he was speechless.

With similar scenes and exactly the same people, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but think of the same encounter that happened here when he and Pei Zhuxuan didn't know each other. At that time, the other party also cried bitterly after seeing him like this.

He remembered hearing from Jiang Seul-ki or Sun Seung-wan that it was Joohyun-oni who would appear more introverted in her feelings, especially that she didn't like to cry in front of them, and usually would try to hold back tears even if she really had tears.

It was a coincidence that Pei Zhuxuan broke down and cried twice and Chi Jingyuan happened to be beside him.

fate?It doesn't feel right.

But in fact, he thinks it's good to come here once in a while, at least he doesn't have to keep a lot of unspeakable worries and grievances in his heart. It's not only bad for the body and mind if it goes on for a long time, it even affects a person's character to a certain extent over time.

Chi Jingyuan can quite understand Pei Zhuxuan's current mood. Although EXO was not as badly scolded as red velvet back in 12, it could still be regarded as being ridiculed by the crazy crowd.

At that time, XO was still half-refrigerated by the company, and all the members were in a very bad mood. Apart from worrying about the future, many people were very angry, and they were in the dormitory for three days, a little noisy, five days a big Fighting, Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol did not know how many times they got red and fought several times.

If the first comeback regular album "wolf" and "Roar" hit the market like "Be Natural", I don't know what it will be like in the EXO team.

Chi Jingyuan doesn't know how red velvet is in the dormitory in private, but even if he is a member of the same group, Pei Zhuxuan must be a little bit reluctant to vent in front of them like this.

Now that's fine.

A gust of cool wind made Chi Jingyuan feel a little cold, he tightened the collar of his coat and stretched his neck.

At the same time, the crying on the side gradually became smaller, from the loud crying just now to a soft sob, Pei Zhuxuan was still curled up there hugging her leg, the funny thing was that her right hand was still tightly clutching the bag of chocolate bars , I don't know if the snacks in her were crushed with such great strength.

"Luhan left some time ago, Tao left again today, and Lay is expected to leave in two days, EXO has changed from 12 members to 9 members in a blink of an eye, the rest of the peninsula members probably won't leave, but no one I know what they're thinking right now."

Chi Jingyuan felt that most of her suppressed emotions had been vented, and after calming down slowly, he put his hands on both sides to support his body, looked at the Han River in the distance, and suddenly spoke, his tone naturally seemed to be chatting casually.

Pei Zhuxuan's crying became much quieter all of a sudden, probably because he heard Chi Jingyuan's voice and knew that he was talking to her.

Although her movements did not change, she was obviously listening attentively.

"I saw a lot of old fans who used to be acquainted with each other in our fan club because of these things, they acted more excited and crazy than black fans, and some fans just quit angrily and went to chase other boy groups , It’s also a bad look on the Internet... Although it doesn’t have a great impact on me, sometimes I really feel that it’s not a good taste.”

"I can also understand the few members who left. They may not like what I care about, but what I don't care about may be their pursuit."

Cursing his lips, Chi Jingyuan looked around, and then said: "In a more romantic way, everything now is a test, just like what you said just now, no matter what, it will pass."

"Or, it's over."

As he said that, Chi Jingyuan looked sideways and saw that Pei Zhuxuan, who had stopped crying, was gently rubbing her face against her trousers. She probably knew that she was really ugly when she cried just now.

He was speechless, took the shoulder bag in front of him and took out a pack of wet wipes, directly pulled Pei Zhuxuan's left fingers and stuffed the wet wipes into her hand, pressed her hand to let her hold on tightly, and then shouted in disgust road:
"Use this to wipe it, don't rub it there, it's not dirty."

"I cry like this every time, Joohyun xi, are you really a female idol?"
