Chapter 363 Christmas Presents
"Guide me, and take me to the place where you live together."

"The line of sight can't help but follow you even if it's the end of the world."

"Follow every step of yours and never leave my sight."

"Guide me, don't disappear even when morning comes."

The gentle and brisk "Butterfly Girl" resounded throughout the Osaka Castle Theater. The nine members of XO were scattered in various positions of the venue, singing their own part to the accompaniment, while smiling, clapping and sitting with enthusiastic fans. with the final interaction.

After today's last "Butterfly Girl" stage ended, today's concert also came to an end. EXO9 members stood in a row in the center of the main stage. While on the stage, it fell on everyone from time to time, Chi Jingyuan's nose bridge, clothes and hands were covered with a lot of small snowflakes.

Sweat oozes from their foreheads and slides down slowly. Everyone is panting slightly. They look up at the countless shaking and shining support sticks in the black venue in front of them.

Today is Christmas Eve on the 24th, and it is also the last day of EXO's three-day concert in Osaka, and it is also the last of a total of 30 performances of their first concert tour this year.

The concert in Osaka was slightly different from the previous ones. EXO prepared several Japanese versions of songs and special stage performances. In addition to the title songs and included songs that were originally scheduled to be performed, they also He sang two new winter songs released in December, "Let It Be Natural" and "December, 12" released through the game two days ago.

The brand new song really surprised the audience, and directly brought the concert to a climax.

And today is finally the last day.

After the members expressed their gratitude and helped them translate, Chi Jingyuan, the main spokesperson of the neon concert, stood at the center of the stage.

Because only the headlights on the ceiling of the main stage were turned on, only the light on the stage was brighter, and the other lights in the entire venue were turned off, and the silver-white light spots were particularly conspicuous and magnificent in the dark night.

"This is already the last song, I really miss everyone."

Looking at the countless support sticks shining like a brilliant galaxy in front of him, Chi Jingyuan began to make his final statement with some emotion, but just before he finished speaking, the audience in the stands directly in front of the stage suddenly started With action.

I saw that many of the light sticks in the hands of countless fans in the three stands on the left, center and right in front of the front were suddenly extinguished, and the others began to arrange and combine quickly and orderly. They were obviously organized and had rehearsed many times in advance. In a short period of time, all the light sticks in the middle of the three sides of the stands were connected together, and countless silvery white light spots, either bright or dark, were spelled out by fans into a row of English characters;
"Thank you!! EXO, See You Again."

Seeing this scene, all nine members were a little stunned.

This is not an official organization of SM, even Chi Jingyuan and his members themselves did not expect such a show from fans. Obviously this is a meal from Neon's side to commemorate their last concert this year, and A parting gift specially prepared to congratulate them on the successful completion of this year's tour.

An uncontrollable warm current poured into their minds from their hearts. When several members saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't hold back the surge in their hearts, and their eyes immediately began to flicker, like Byun Baekhyun, Kim Junmyeon, and Kim Minseok directly He covered his mouth, took the microphone away, worried that no one would be moved and choked up, and the other people were also full of shock, joy, and excitement, obviously a little emotional because of the gifts from the fans at the scene.

Standing in the middle, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a while looking at the row of swaying letters as brilliant as the Milky Way. He tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart. Feeling that his eyes were slightly moist, he shook his head lightly. The smile reappeared on his face, cleared his throat, and finished his final farewell words:
"Thanks to everyone... this year's EXO's first solo tour has ended successfully. Although the whole six months of the tour was very hard, both we and the fans have created a lot of good memories together. Thank you very much for your perseverance. , I am really happy to have EXO-L by my side, and I will go on together in the future..."

"We are one, we are EXO."

With the chanting of the iconic slogan, all members gave their iconic thumbs up, and then the nine people bent down and bowed deeply together. Under the silver starlight and the sincere blessings of the fans, the elevator slowly descended. Their figures Gradually disappearing above the stage, the concert officially ended.

After Chi Jingyuan and the others left the field, the entire venue was plunged into darkness, but all the fans did not leave the field in a hurry. Instead, they kept waving their support sticks, and everyone in the field began to shout "we are one" slogan.

"we are one."

"we are one."

"we are one."

A few seconds later, the big screen lit up and started playing the VCR at the end of the concert, and the BGM of the VCR happened to be the last song "Butterfly Girl" just now.

This gentle melody seems to comment and embellish the fans' shouts, making every line "we are one" even more beautiful.

The nine members of EXO who had already come down from the elevator could hear the fans in front of them shouting in unison in the background, even though they were separated by several floors, they could still hear them very clearly.

The English pronunciation of the fans here at Nihong is not very standard, but it is unusually neat and loud, and every sentence is directly passed into the depths of each member's heart, engraved with their own marks, and it looks fiery and meaningful.

This last scene of the last round of the tour, it is estimated that they will hardly forget it in the future.

……

The next day, that is, on the morning of Christmas Day on the 25th, EXO returned to Seoul by plane.

The success of this concert also announced that the tour, which had been busy for almost a year, was officially over. EXO, who had been busy for a long time before, could finally have two days off.

After a flight of more than two hours, we got off the plane near noon. Chi Jingyuan and his team came out from Incheon International Airport and sat in the prepared nanny car under the watchful eyes and photographs of the pick-up fans. Personally, I was a little tired and spread out on my seat.

"Hey Yigu, this concert ended suddenly, why am I still a little unaccustomed to it?" Wu Shixun felt sluggish, and sighed for some reason.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at this idiot who was just looking for trouble: "Not used to it? Don't worry, there will be a second tour next year, and then I will give you a few more stages so you can get used to it."

"Forget it, it's too tiring to prepare for the concert..." Thinking of the time when he was preparing for the concert in the first half of this year, the hard and tiring memories of the past came to his mind instantly, and Wu Shixun shook his head directly, expressing that he didn't Said.

Glancing at him disdainfully, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something, looked at Jin Junmian in the back row and asked, "By the way, brother, yesterday's concert should have been filmed throughout, right? Is the spelling scene filmed? I like that scene to be saved on the phone."

"It should be filming. I saw the photographer, but I don't know if the scene was filmed. Go back and ask Brother Chenghuan..." Jin Junmian nodded as soon as his eyes lit up: "That scene It's really awesome, I like it too, and the fans of Neon are so enthusiastic."

Lee Seung-hwan is in another nanny car.

"Really enthusiastic."

"How did you combine that word with the support stick? I finished it without even realizing it..."

When mentioning this car, several members got excited and started chattering.

Just as Chi Jingyuan interjected, his phone vibrated suddenly when he was talking happily. He turned his head and picked it up to see that it was a message from Zhou Ziyu.

"Congratulations to Jing Yuanxi for the successful conclusion of the concert!"

Every time this kid has something to say, he always starts off with something else to talk about. Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and quickly replied: "What's there to congratulate? Tell me, what do you want to ask. "

"Hey (smiling face), Jing Yuanxi, are you free tonight?"

Today is Christmas on the 25th, Zhou Ziyu's intention of asking this question is already obvious, but Chi Jingyuan didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Are you going to give me a Christmas present?"

"Guess! (Laughs)"

I guess your size, I guess you must have turned black.

"But I didn't prepare any Christmas presents." Chi Jingyuan has never had the habit of giving each other Christmas gifts, unless it is a romantic relationship between male and female friends, it would be too troublesome if ordinary friends also send them.

Since his debut in 12, he has basically never celebrated Christmas. The end of each year is the busiest time for artists on the peninsula. In addition, this year, he has spent Christmas on the running schedule for three consecutive years.

"Then if you invite me to dinner, take it as a gift in return."

Seeing Zhou Ziyu's reply, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, this little girl thinks very well.

He thought about today's itinerary, and still replied: "It's not impossible, but I have two brand activities in the evening, and it should be quite late when it ends, maybe in a few days."

"Is that so..." The tone of this reply was full of disappointment.

"Did you really prepare a gift?"

"Ah."

"That……"

…………

"Bang." The car door was closed, Zhou Ziyu first smiled at Chi Jingyuan after getting in the car, and then looked curiously at this Chi Jingyuan's special nanny car with wide eyes.

After returning to Seoul at noon, he first went back to the dormitory to put down the salute, and then Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to the members and started his own solo itinerary. Today is mainly some end-of-year activities of several brands he endorsed, including the end-of-year of a manufacturer party, there are also two brand platforms and signing activities.

It is true that I should be busy until late at night, but the time in the afternoon is not very tight, and there are many gaps and intervals between the two itineraries.When I sent a text message before, I saw Zhou Ziyu's enthusiasm and joy was extinguished, and he looked very disappointed. After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan decided to come to JYP for something to eat after finishing an event in the afternoon, and make an appointment with her by the way. Meet in the car and give her a chance to give something for Christmas.

It just so happened that I haven't seen Zhou Ziyu face to face for a long time.

After eating just now, Park Jae-hyun drove the car into an alley near JYP, Chi Jingyuan sent a text message, Zhou Ziyu arrived not long after the location and license plate were called.

Seeing her chest rising and falling with her mouth slightly open after she sat up, she was panting lightly, clearly trotting over in a hurry, Chi Jingyuan's eyes froze on the flashing diamond headband on her head for a second, and then asked a question : "What are you doing in such a hurry, do you have to go back to the company for class later?"

"No need, the dance class in the afternoon has just finished." Zhou Ziyu shook his head lightly.

"Then why are you running in such a hurry?"

"Hey..." She grinned silly twice, her small white teeth were very conspicuous, she rolled her eyes with a smile, turned sideways and took out a wrapped gift from the bag she was carrying, and handed it to her with a smile. To Chi Jingyuan: "Here you are, a Christmas gift!"

"Thanks...but I'm not kidding, I'm really not prepared."

Chi Jingyuan took it with a smile, and didn't intend to open it in front of her. He took it in his hand and looked it up, then put it on his lap, then took a cup of red bean hot drink from the side that he bought at dinner, and handed it to Zhou Ziyu: "Here."

"Thank you." Seeing her thank you, take the hot drink, and happily take a few sips from the cup, Chi Jingyuan turned his gaze back to the gift box on his lap: "You are such a crooked person." Do you like Christmas?"

"Not really." Zhou Ziyu raised his head with puffed cheeks, tried hard to swallow the drink in his mouth, then licked his mouth and said, "However, it is very popular among many trainees in the company, and it is also popular among students in school. In exchanging gifts, I have received many Christmas presents in the past two days yesterday and today."

"So popular?" Chi Jingyuan blinked his eyes and looked up and down Zhou Ziyu, who was a bit embarrassing. He has to say that he really has a good eye. This headband is quite suitable for Zhou Ziyu after wearing it. The original youthful and smart feeling has been added with a little delicateness, coupled with the already good appearance, apart from the skin color, it is also quite outstanding.

"..." After this question, Zhou Ziyu didn't reply. Holding a drink and a straw in his mouth, he raised his head and smiled reservedly at Chi Jingyuan. Although he didn't speak, he could see the little complacency on his face at a glance.

Although he likes to giggle, Chi Jingyuan feels that Zhou Ziyu is really lively sometimes.

It can be seen that Zhou Ziyu was in a good mood to meet her friends. While drinking with her hands, she chatted with Chi Jingyuan. She talked a lot about interesting things about the practice at school and the company, how did the practice improve, The teacher praised her, and the more she speaks Korean, the better. Anyway, she can sing as much as she can. Anyway, Chi Jingyuan can't confirm whether what she said is true or not.

In the middle, I also accidentally mentioned that several senior trainees in the debut group came back to be trainees because of the cancellation of the debut plan.

"It seems to me that several of them are very angry, but we rarely practice together... I heard that there is a senior trainee from the debut group who just didn't come to the company and went out to work..."

"However, many people said that although the company's girl group project was canceled this time, it is estimated that it will try to select trainees to debut in the near future, because they said that our company is a famous girl group, and it is impossible not to be a girl group. ..."

"Famous girl group..." Chi Jingyuan tasted the title, and nodded noncommittally: "It's considered."

Among the girl groups launched by JYP in recent years, the more successful ones are wondergirls and MissA. Although MissA has won a big award since her debut, it is not very successful to be honest.

Wondergirls, of course, did not have any temper at Girls’ Generation, which was extremely popular a few years ago, but the golden period of development was delayed because of the wrong strategic decision of the company, and after many adjustments and replacements of members, today’s Wondergirls, although a national The speed is still there, as long as the sound source of the song is not bad, but it has long lost the momentum of the year.

He thinks the gold content of this 'girl group master' is a little bit lower

"By the way, XO's winter single "Let It Be Natural" this year is really good, I really like this song!" After speaking, they talked about Chi Jingyuan and their EXO, Zhou Ziyu's eyes lit up and he looked at it with admiration Looking at him: "The singing is very good, and the writing is really good, especially the lyrics are also very good."

"Well...thank you." Chi Jingyuan nodded to accept her compliments, but he still told the truth: "But the lyrics are not written by me."

"Ah? Who is that?" Zhou Ziyu was a little taken aback when he heard that, "I even read the original written on the lyrics and composition."

"Well... it was written by a friend, I just summed it up." Of course it's not easy to talk about the specific situation, Chi Jingyuan could only briefly explain.

"So, that friend of yours really wrote it really well...By the way, will the song "Let It Be Natural" come out in Chinese?"

It can be seen that Zhou Ziyu really likes this song. When he was free to speak, he imitated Chi Jingyuan's final chord 'wu~~' twice.

"It should be, but it's definitely too late this year, and even if the Chinese version is released, I won't be able to write the lyrics in Chinese."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, even if the company wanted to give him the task of writing lyrics in Chinese, he would refuse.

After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, he was about to leave, and there was still a schedule waiting, when he was about to leave, he thought about it, and was specifically concerned: "How about the Chinese New Year this year, it's still your mother who came to see you?"

"Yes, it's already agreed."

Mentioning that her mother came to visit her, Zhou Ziyu suddenly became clearer. Obviously, the relationship between mother and daughter is very good. She nodded with a smile: "My mother will definitely bring me a lot of specialties from our side. I will share them with you later." you a little."

"Keep it for yourself..." Chi Jingyuan originally blurted out to complain, but seeing Zhou Ziyu's happy smile, he didn't say it. Instead, he smiled and nodded after a pause: "Thanks in advance ..."

After closing the car door, Zhou Ziyu quickly waved her hand towards the window, and soon the car started to turn at the intersection ahead and disappeared from sight. She glanced twice and then turned around, with a smile on her face, she briskly walked towards the company. go.

And Chi Jingyuan in the car picked up the gift box after saying goodbye to Zhou Ziyu, and opened it up and down. After opening it, he was a little speechless.

A white wide-mouthed mug. I don’t know that it was specially printed on the cup. Zhou Ziyu painted a somewhat abstract Pikachu by himself. The painting is obviously a bit rough. The originally cute and handsome electric mouse looks ugly. Cute.

There is also a red Christmas hat on the mouth of the cup, and a big smiling face is painted on the front of the hat with a watercolor pen. It is very festive to match with the cup, and the Christmas atmosphere comes out at once.

At first glance, he was a little speechless, but looking at Chi Jingyuan, he was also a little infected by the happy atmosphere of the smiling face and Ugly Pikachu, and couldn't help but also smiled softly.

It really is a child, the drawing is too bad...

……

After running all the itinerary in the evening, Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory at nearly eleven o'clock. He opened the door and walked in after changing his shoes. He said hello to the brothers who were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and walked around After a circle, I found that there were only five people in the dormitory including him, and nearly half of the members hadn't come back yet, such as Oh Sehun, Park Chanyeol, and Baekhyun were all on the list.

Although Chi Jingyuan has just finished his itinerary, it is all about his personal endorsement. Because of his popularity, he has a lot of personal itineraries. In fact, EXO really didn’t have any activities after returning from Neon today, and they disbanded in the afternoon up.

Today is Christmas, which is also an excellent day for couples to go on a date. Those few people knew why they were there.

The people of the peninsula attach great importance to Christmas. Not only is it a legal holiday, but many businesses also carry out great discounts. Many products can carry out 1+1 activities, that is, buy one get one free.

It’s also one of Peninsula’s favorite promotions.

There are also several landmark large-scale crowded places such as Cannibalize lotte World, Myeongdong Cathedral, Hyundai Department Store, Times Square, etc., where many activities will be held. These places are also places where Christmas couples must check in.

In short, it is very grand and lively.

Now Chi Jingyuan can go out directly and make an appointment with Pei Xiuzhi or whoever, but after thinking about it, she thinks it's better to forget it. The three-day concert and today's itinerary are really a bit tiring. I am too lazy to run anymore.

And to be honest, there is indeed a little less interest.

As for Pei Zhuxuan...

"Brother, didn't you guys go out tonight?" Chi Jingyuan passed by the living room after washing, found Jin Junmian and Jin Zhong and the others watching TV and having fun, and asked curiously.

"Ani, we're back." Jin Junmian replied very seriously, and at the end he asked back: "How about you, Jing Yuan?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Chi Jingyuan didn't make a sound, and after making an 'OK' gesture, he went back to his room and closed the door.

After saying hello and chatting with Do Kyungsoo who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, Chi Jingyuan first placed the mug that Zhou Ziyu gave him on the bedside, and then sat on the bed and turned over his mobile phone.

From night to now, many people have sent Christmas greetings, such as Sun Naeun, Jung Eunji, Cui Xueli, Kim Taeyeon and other very familiar friends, especially Sun Naeun, who also tentatively asked him if he is busy at night, and what he means to meet up More obvious.

After hearing that Chi Jingyuan had a lot of trips, he was not disappointed, and after expressing his Christmas wishes with a smile, he even chatted a few words. This kind of intimacy in nature made Chi Jingyuan feel pretty good.

After swiping the phone for a while, he returned all the friends' messages that he hadn't had time to reply to before, and when he returned, the screen suddenly lit up, and Pei Zhuxuan sent a message.

The accompanying picture is a selfie. In the photo, she is wearing a light-colored plain pajamas with two elk horns on her head. She is holding back a smile with her lips pursed while holding a pair of scissors. Her face is rosy and festive. hapiness'.

Chi Jingyuan looked at this picture for a few seconds, tapped the screen and quickly replied:

"Are you Santa Claus?"
