Chapter 342

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

The questioning and interrogating words came out of Chi Jingyuan's mouth mercilessly. Although the other party still buried his head in his lap and couldn't see his expression, he could clearly see that Pei Zhuxuan's left hand holding the wet towel was obviously clenched a little.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was obviously a little angry, held out a wet towel in her left hand and wanted to hit him, but she didn't find the right place and hit him in the air, as if she couldn't understand her hatred, she continued to punch him hard in the air several times before angrily accepting it go back.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhuxuan stretched out her hand to tighten the sweater hat that was loosely covering her head, opened the package of wet wipes, took out two wipes, turned her head to the right, turned her back to Chi Jingyuan, and quickly wiped her face lightly. I wiped lightly, and after a few wipes, I felt that two sheets were not enough, so I took out several sheets in a row and wiped my face.

Every time he moves, he is careful, for fear that Chi Jingyuan will see the face that may be mixed with tears, snot, chocolate crumbs, etc. at this time.

At this time, her legs were still placed together on the chair without moving, but her upper body turned around like a puppet. Such awkward movements made her look like a gymnast at this time.

At this moment, Pei Zhuxuan was far less domineering and candid than just poking his neck and raising his head to ask the other party "is it ugly?"

Maybe she herself knew that Chi Jingyuan wasn't lying, it was really ugly.

Looking at Pei Zhuxuan with her back to her, and the obvious bulge on her hoodie hat protruded by the braids, she couldn't help laughing secretly, especially when she saw that the other party wiped it carefully for a while, and then turned her back to him and took it out of her pocket. I took out my phone and carefully took two photos with the black screen before I felt at ease.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

is that useful?Why did you go there just now?

That is to say, he didn't react just now, otherwise he would have taken a picture of Pei Zhuxuan's crying face as a screensaver.

Then take a screenshot and send it to her.

After wiping her face clean, Pei Zhuxuan turned around, but maybe because she felt a little cold, or wanted to cover it up a little, she didn't take off the sweater hat, but took the initiative to stretch and tighten the sweater rope at the neckline, a big The head is tightly wrapped in the small hat, the cheeks are tightly wrapped by the brim of the hat, and a big bump bulges out from the back of the hat, which looks very funny.

However, the depression in her body just now seems to have vented a lot in crying, at least she seems to be a lot more angry at this time, and her face without makeup is red because she just cried, or because she rubbed too hard. , The wings of the nose and eyelashes are still trembling slightly, showing the turmoil in the heart.

Glancing at Chi Jingyuan, he also retracted his gaze, relaxed his posture and looked at the lights in the distance, and Pei Zhuxuan didn't bow his head anymore, glanced at him and raised his head, and looked into the distance together.

The two of them sat there quietly without saying a word, looking at the eye-catching night view of Seoul, and the unstoppable night wind suddenly found that at this time, it could no longer blow away the gradually rising temperature here.

Obviously it was exactly the same as when we first came here, but no one spoke, but the atmosphere has obviously changed a lot.

After a while, Pei Zhuxuan stretched out his hand and seemed to want to stroke his head, but when he touched it, he found that his hair had been wrapped in a hat. He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then turned his gaze back, and looked at Yuan Fang took the initiative to say: "A few days ago, when my mother called me, I mentioned what my family members saw on the Internet and scolded me."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was comfortable to listen to.

"I know they are very angry and sad, but they still take the initiative to care about me on the phone...Although I am really grateful to them, but I am more embarrassed, and I really don't want my family to see these things ... I don't know what to say, and I'm not very good at expressing this kind of emotion."

Gently nodded, Chi Jingyuan didn't speak.

After a while, she turned her head to look at Chi Jingyuan and asked, "XO was attacked very badly when it first debuted, right? Has your family seen those comments?"

"I must have seen it. After all, my family members are very concerned about me."

When XO debuted, Chi Jingyuan was in the best situation in the team and the most popular one, but he certainly couldn't stand alone in the bad online environment. Although there may not be as many scolding him as others, there are actually quite a few.

There are not many people who attack their looks, most of them say that the makeup is ugly, and then they make up some rumors and so on.

Chi Jingyuan and her looked at each other, raised their eyes and thought for a while, pouted and said, "It's just that they didn't mention it. My parents are in the United States all the year round, and Nuna and second brother are usually very busy..."

"But they all know that this is my own choice, and they should also believe me."

He looked into Pei Zhuxuan's eyes, and added: "But I think the same as you, and I don't want this kind of thing to be known by my family. I can understand this feeling."

"..." Blinking his eyes, Pei Zhuxuan nodded silently with his mouth pursed, and after a few seconds, he suddenly asked with interest: "You still have Nuna and brother? Are you the youngest child in the family?"

Her eyes lit up and she looked interested.

"Well, and they are all much older than me. I belong to the middle-aged child of my parents, so I have always been favored." Chi Jingyuan said it casually without hiding anything, and then looked at her and asked: "And you?"

"I also have a younger sister who is 5 years younger than me."

"Isn't that two years younger than me?"

"..." Gouged him out angrily, Pei Zhuxuan curled her lips in displeasure.

Knowing that he doesn't like to talk about age, this person always commits crimes knowingly, which is really annoying.

Chi Jingyuan smiled secretly, but he still took the initiative to change the topic: "Is there no activity in red velvet recently?"

"Who said that? And!"

As soon as Pei Zhuxuan frowned and looked at him, she retorted reflexively because of her self-esteem, but finally answered in a significantly lower voice: "A little bit."

"..."

Sensing the half-smile in the other party's eyes, Pei Zhuxuan blushed a little, and when she couldn't help being looked at, she turned around as if giving up: "...It's almost gone."

"Don't worry too much. After all, Ryder Beibei is the first girl group launched by SM after such a long time. The company will definitely manage it carefully."

Although Pei Zhuxuan's strong support is quite cute, Chi Jingyuan didn't mean to laugh, but talked about his views on red velvet very naturally: "And I've seen all four of your stages, no matter the strength It’s actually not a problem with personal charm, the current situation is not mainly caused by you, but more caused by other influences, it’s really not good to mention the debut time in advance.”

"It is estimated that the company's plan for you should be similar to that of our EXO. It will be quiet for a while, and then at the end of the year, a rookie award will be held in a large award ceremony such as MAMA or Seoul Music Awards, and then the comeback next year will change the style and create Some gimmicks and more resources at the same time.”

"It's not that many passers-by who hate you from the bottom of their hearts won't really stay in the dark for so long. By then, this year's limelight will almost pass, and your situation may improve a lot by then."

Speaking of these, Pei Zhuxuan listened to Chi Jingyuan's opinion very seriously, nodded in agreement from time to time, and his expression looked better.

Although this is only Chi Jingyuan's personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of SM Company, but out of trust in the other party and understanding of Chi Jingyuan's status in the company, she thinks what the other party said is still very reliable. At least she wanted to believe it.

Pei Zhuxuan's professionalism and self-esteem have always been very strong. After practicing for so long, she made her debut like this. In addition to sadness and grievances, she is deeply unwilling. As long as there is hope, she will definitely make the greatest effort to change the current situation.

After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly remembered what Chi Jingyuan said when she was crying just now, and looked over with concern: "Then how is XO doing now? So many people have left..."

Members leaving the group is a big problem for any idol group in the peninsula. Look at the current situation of kara after someone quit. After Girls’ Generation’s Jung Soo Yeon left, Sone directly split up, and they are still in the midst of great disputes. knew.

And EXO didn't withdraw one, but left one every two days, and they kept leaving one after another.

The harm this situation brings to the group fans is very great, and the more loyal and fond of XO, the greater the harm.

"Lay estimates that there will be a result in the next two days. Either he will run directly like the previous two, or he will open a personal studio. In the future, he will focus on the itinerary in the mainland of Xia. There should be no other options."

Looking at Jiang Mian, Chi Jingyuan let out a breath, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied: "The damage to our fans is indeed great, and even some of my only fans have been affected a lot by those rumors, let alone the combination. …It’s a bit similar to your red velvet, what will happen to us in the future depends on our comeback next year, and the company is planning now, so I should be involved.”

After thinking about it, he added: "But there should be a single released in December."

"EXO's winter special?" Pei Zhuxuan asked at the right time.

"you know?"

"..." With a sidelong glance at him, Pei Zhuxuan pouted.

nonsense.

"Although it is also a winter special, this year may not release a mini-album like last year. It should just be a single. The previous planning was very perfunctory. I asked the company for it, and it should be better, but the song has not been selected yet. , I don’t have a clue yet.”

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan, who had always been calm and confident, was also a little downcast, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly showed a bright smile, stretched out his small fists and compared to him: "fighting!"

Just like when Chi Jingyuan cheered him up every time we met before.

Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan burst out laughing and gestured: "fighting!"

"Come on, let's see next year."

"Inside."

After fighting each other, the two seem to be much more energetic and relaxed, as if the comeback of the two groups next year is sure to be successful.

Unknowingly, they sat a little closer, looked into the distance together, saw the brilliant night scene from the shimmering river, and finally raised their heads to look at the foggy night sky.

A gust of cold wind blew by, Chi Jingyuan noticed the situation of the two of them from the corner of his eye, thought of something and couldn't hold back a smile, feeling Pei Zhuxuan's puzzled eyes, he pouted to the sky: "We are now Does it look like you are watching the sunrise?"

"Pfft..."

Pei Zhuxuan smiled all of a sudden, revealing her small white teeth reflecting the moonlight, Susu's face showed a disgusted smile, and said angrily: "Who would come out to watch the sunrise at twelve o'clock in the morning, it's Pabo... ..."

After speaking, she also looked up at the silvery but lonely moon with Chi Jingyuan, watching the laughter in her mouth gradually weakened, and the whole person became quiet.

It seemed that Pei Zhuxuan felt something in this quiet night sky, and Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became a little crazy.

The two really looked up at the dark sky as if they were watching the sunrise. It seemed that the miserable moon would be replaced by a big fireball in the next second, and the sky would brighten.

One half leaned on the back of the wooden chair, and the other put his feet on the chair and held it with his hands. The postures are completely different, but they look very harmonious.

"The current situation of our combination is just like what you just said, and it is also similar to the scene in front of us. The sky is so gray that no light can be seen...but it will be fine when the sun comes out."

Chi Jingyuan began to tell the story in a serious manner, but what he said seemed a bit childish.

"Why are you acting like you're comforting a child?" Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips after glancing at him.

"Be more romantic, what are you talking about instead of this? Talk about that pimple at the corner of your mouth?"

"Ah..." Thumping him angrily and threatening with a glare, Pei Zhuxuan looked at the sky and seemed to join in the play: "The sunrise must be very beautiful and bright, it will definitely catch us all Give light."

"Hey, first illuminate Pei Zhuxuan's xi, and then you reflect the light to illuminate me."

"pipipipi...hahaha..." Hearing that, Pei Zhuxuan pushed Chi Jingyuan continuously with his hand, and the onomatopoeia seemed to reflect the light, but he couldn't help laughing after doing it twice He got up, smiled and quickly covered his mouth, but the laughter kept lingering around him.

At the end, she stared blankly at the sky, and asked expectantly, "Then when will the sun rise?"

"It's a little past twelve o'clock now, and there are still about six hours before sunrise." Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to check the time, then pursed his lips and replied solemnly: "In terms of conversion, it is about six hours in reality." months."

"Is that so?" Pei Zhuxuan nodded in agreement with a look of complete confidence and no doubt.

The two looked at each other, both felt that they and each other were really naive at the moment, looked at each other and laughed together, "Haha..."

"By the way, is there any more?" With a smile, Chi Jingyuan nodded his chin at the packaging of the chocolate bar in her hand.

This package was the only package of snacks that he carried with him, and Pei Zhuxuan snatched it away without even eating a bite after opening the package.

"There should be more..." It was only when she noticed the tightly packed bag in her hand that she said something uncertain and hurriedly opened it to take a look.

It's a pity that it may be because I was too strong when I took it just now, most of them were crushed and crushed.

"What a waste, Senior Pei Zhuxuan." Chi Jingyuan looked at the scraps in the bag, smacked his lips and complained.

"There's one more!" After searching for a while, Pei Zhuxuan finally found the last complete chocolate bar, and took it out as if offering a treasure with bright eyes, and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a twinkle: "Do you want to eat it?"

Glancing at the chocolate bar, and then at Pei Zhuxuan in front of him, Chi Jingyuan blinked as if thinking for a second:
"One and a half."

"Hey, then half of each person."

……

"Bye-Bye."

Pei Zhuxuan waved his hand as he got off the car and turned back to say goodbye with a smile. After watching the other party walk towards the community where the dormitory is located, Chi Jingyuan raised the window and lay lazily on the back of the back seat, looking a little tired.

Of course it's impossible for the other party to come back so late, it just so happened that Chi Jingyuan had prepared in advance to let Park Jae-hyun drive nearby, and finally got into the car after sharing the last chocolate bar and sent her back.

The dormitory of red velvet is quite close to the EXO dormitory. They are located in the ** district, which is relatively close to Gangnam. It is not far from the company, and the house price and rent are much cheaper than in Gangnam district. SM really considers it comprehensively. .

"Go back and rest?" Park Jae-hyun asked in the driver's seat.

"Well, go back."

Chi Jingyuan stretched, half-closed his eyes and replied.

Today was really tiring. I got up early in the morning and filmed the whole morning. After receiving the news of Tao leaving the team in the afternoon, I rushed back for a meeting. I chatted with Li Xiuman a lot about the return time, received several tasks, and then returned to the crew to film. In the evening, I went back to the company to write a planning report. When I was about to leave the company and go home to sleep, I met Pei Zhuxuan, and I went out for a walk and chatted until now.

Today's day is really fulfilling.

However, there are a lot of gains, at least Senior Pei Zhuxuan, who is full of negative emotions in his heart, is much more normal, and it can be regarded as a little relief.

Just after the nanny car started for a while, Chi Jingyuan's phone vibrated. He took a breath and opened his eyes to check. Pei Zhuxuan sent a selfie.

It is estimated that she has already returned to the dormitory. In the photo, she should have just washed her face, eyebrows and hair tips with water stains. She stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and took a picture of her face from bottom to top with her mobile phone. Although her fair face looks It looks good, but the two nostrils are really conspicuous.

He probably wanted to tell Chi Jingyuan that she had already arrived in the dormitory.

Chi Jingyuan chuckled and didn't say much, and replied with a 'disgusting' expression.

When Mingming met her face just now, she looked a bit dark and yellow, obviously she was not in good spirits, but now her face in the photo is white, translucent, rosy and shiny.

Does washing your face have such a big effect?
Hey, he also specially turned on the beauty face, what a scheming.

As a rookie girl group, returning to the dormitory so late will definitely be criticized by the agent, but as the captain and the oldest member, Pei Zhuxuan will not scold too badly, and she will probably find some excuse to lie to the agent people.

But speaking of Pei Zhuxuan's pretty face, I don't know how to lie.

Should be quite skilled...

After returning to the dormitory to wash, Chi Jingyuan fell asleep, got up early the next morning and rushed to the crew to continue filming.

Sure enough, as Chi Jingyuan expected, there were quite a few EXO fans squatting at the entrance of the Seoul Plaza, wanting to hear him talk about Tao's withdrawal from the group yesterday, including some media reporters.

After filming "Misaeng", this place has become the most accurate place to find Chi Jingyuan, even better than SM company and EXO dormitory, as long as you squat here, you can basically feel that you can find him.

It's a pity that it is impossible for Chi Jingyuan to respond to such a matter.

And to be honest, he really didn't have much to say.

Under the protection of his assistant and manager, Chi Jingyuan greeted the fans and walked in quickly without stopping a step.

After arriving at the production team, both the cast and the staff were very eye-catching. They knew that something happened to EXO yesterday after reading the news, but this time it’s not like when Jung Soo-yeon left the group before Girls’ Generation. Many people asked Ji Jingyuan to ask. Talk about gossip and inside stories, but everyone deliberately avoided this topic when they greeted each other, and no one brought it up on their own initiative.

It can be considered empathetic.

And yesterday, when he was preparing the planning plan in the music room of SM company, the sixth episode of "Misheng" was also broadcast on time.

But when I came to the crew in the morning, I was a little unhappy when I learned the statistics of the ratings.

After the astonishing 5.3% in the fifth episode, the sixth episode not only did not maintain the previously gratifying increase, but dropped a bit, and even fell below the 5.00% mark, only 4.9%.

However, this kind of decline is also within the normal range, and the increase in the fifth episode is indeed a bit high, which is not normal. It is understandable that it did not survive due to various reasons. As long as the overall attitude of growth is present, it will be satisfactory. ,

However, the ratings have dropped after all. Although everyone didn't pay much attention to it, the atmosphere of the crew today has become a little more tense compared to the previous two days.

In fact, the increase in ratings may be due to a relatively normal range, but the evaluation on the Internet is obviously getting better every day, whether it is for the shooting of the whole drama of "Unborn", the lens and other techniques , or the overall setting of the plot, or the acting skills and performance of the actors have all received a lot of praise and praise.

Many of the white-collar workers in the peninsula have become loyal viewers of this drama, and "Misheng" has become a hot topic in their daily chats.

The ratings are still not obvious due to the innate limitations of cable TV stations, but the popularity and discussion have clearly overshadowed the TV dramas of other wireless TV stations in the same period. The momentum is very obvious, and the influence is gradually spreading.

Today is November 11nd. The Asian Music Festival held at the main stadium of the Asian Games in Busan in the evening has a stage for three songs by EXO-K, but Ji Jingyuan was allowed to be absent by the company because of the filming schedule. Individual performances.

Chi Jingyuan himself didn't want to be absent at first, but this kind of large-scale party performance needs to be practiced together before, and he has to go to the scene for rehearsal one day in advance or on the same day. "Life" is getting better and better, and when the shooting tasks are getting heavier, it is difficult for him to spare so many days for practice or rehearsal.

SM also didn't want to delay a TV series that was clearly gaining momentum because of the performance, so after thinking about it for a while, they directly asked Chi Jingyuan not to come, so let's make a good filming.

Fortunately, EXO-K had already rehearsed the five-person formation for many songs before, so they didn't have to work overtime overnight for reorganization and rehearsal.

And Chi Kyung Won is one of the members with the most part in the K team. If he is absent, the other members will have a lot more weight and scenes, but the ones who add the most and the heaviest tasks are Do Kyungsoo and Kim Junmyeon.

And even if Chi Jingyuan's part came out evenly, Wu Shixun didn't get a few words.

Because to be honest, even if some parts of the lead singer were given to him, he would not be able to sing.

In addition to today's Asian Music Festival, SM also made Ji Jingyuan absent from several recent EXO-K stage performances, including the "Lotte Family Concert" on the 9th and "Music Bank-Mexico Special" on the 11th wait.

This salary is really good, but SM has always paid attention to the career development of its own idol actors. Previously, Cui Xueli, Choi Minho, Kwon Yuri, and even Lim Yoona have all missed important stages or family concerts because of filming. Ji Jingyuan is not the same It's too special.

But being able to skip this "Mexico Special" really made Chi Jingyuan thank you in his heart. I heard that it would take nearly [-] hours to go back and forth by plane and connecting plane. .

After finishing the day's filming, Chi Jingyuan returned to the company's music room again. Li Xiuman's task was quite heavy, and he would work overtime here in the short evening if there were no accidents.

After he came today, he didn't directly start thinking about the planning report. Instead, he put on the headphones, turned on the computer and the mixer, and tried to input a melody into it.

After listening quietly for a while, he clicked on a file, closed his eyes and remembered the scene of getting along with Pei Zhuxuan by the river last night, and recalled some of the words they said at that time.

Some words said by the other party left a deep impression on him, and they are still vivid in his mind at this time, gently echoing in his ears.

He couldn't help thinking of the current situation of the two groups EXO and red velvet. Although the situations are different, the prospects are equally bleak at this time.

After sorting out his memories for a moment, he let out a soft breath, and began tapping his fingers on the keyboard:
"You'll get used to it, again."

"..."

"It will pass, it will pass."

"..."
