peninsula asteroid.

The voice didn't appear suddenly, it seemed that it had been there intermittently before they came, and it was only after the two of them approached slowly that they heard it.

In addition to some choked crying, there were words of comfort in the middle, the voice was a little soft, even if the surroundings were quiet, it couldn't be heard too clearly.

However, Chi Jingyuan heard a few words of this voice, and felt that it didn't sound like the local language of the peninsula, but a bit like the pronunciation of the neon side.

He and Taeyeon looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

If there is such a voice, something must have happened. If ordinary people say that they don’t want to watch the excitement, they will go over to see the situation. It’s just that as an idol artist, he hates being linked to this kind of thing in private. If you are careful, you will involve yourself and cause bad influence. Even if you are actually very interested in it, you will usually suppress the idea of ​​watching the excitement in your heart when you encounter this kind of thing, and hide as soon as you can.

It's just that this road just leads to the parking place, and if you take another road, you have to go back a long way.

The two looked at each other, Chi Jingyuan nodded his chin lightly, and walked forward together as if they didn't hear.

After walking for a while, Chi Jingyuan finally saw the source of the sound and excitement, but when he saw those familiar faces, his heart stopped for a moment.

I saw three girls sitting on the right side of the road not far ahead at this time. At a glance, the three profiles of Chi Jingyuan were all familiar, and they happened to be the three neon trainees from JYP who had seen it several times. , also corresponded to the voice that sounded like Japanese just now.

Momo Hirai was sitting in the middle, with her legs together and her face half covered with her hands, she was sobbing. The source of the crying should be her, while Minazaki Saka and Nai Minami were standing on both sides, and they were huddling together and whispering something If so, the one on the left, Minozaki Saka, patted Hirai Momo's back lightly, showing comfort
A sense of absurdity and surprise emerged spontaneously. Chi Jingyuan really didn't expect to meet these people again at this time in this place, especially Mingjing Nan. I really feel like I can see her everywhere Similarly, Chi Jingyuan was silent and didn't know what to say.

Besides, it was because of several encounters that were too coincidental, a strange feeling inexplicably rose in my heart, itching, like a feather scratching my heart.

After approaching, I saw several cans of beer placed at the feet, some of which were not opened, and some of them had already been drunk. Out of their mood at this time.

I don't know how many of them are adults, and where they got the beer.

After taking a look, Taeyeon withdrew her gaze, buried her head and walked straight forward for fear of being recognized, but Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything after recognizing a few people, straightened the baseball cap she was wearing, and walked side by side Go forward.

Although it was indeed a coincidence that they met, but speaking of it, they are not very familiar with them, that is, Mingjing Nan can be considered to know a little, so he didn't intend to say hello, just walked over like a passerby.

And more importantly, Chi Jingyuan felt that these girls probably didn't want to be seen in such an embarrassing and private situation.

The two walked forward as if they hadn't seen each other, but the crying was very clear here, and the sound of footsteps was still the same. The dull footsteps were getting closer and closer, so that Hirai Momo's crying stopped, but he didn't look up. , while the two people next to him looked at the sound.

Two figures, one tall and one short, gradually approached, and they didn't look around, but walked forward naturally, both wearing masks.However, Mingjing Nan just glanced at the tall boy's hat and shoulder bag, and finally her eyes stayed on the faintly exposed eyebrows under the cover of the brim of the hat. With a sudden jump, he immediately recognized Chi Jingyuan.

Although it is not very late, it is already relatively remote here.

Why is he here?

Is there such a coincidence?
Who is that next to him?
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she was suddenly surprised all over her body, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Minatosaki Sasha on the left blinked her eyes, only feeling that the man in front of her was quite familiar. She noticed Nai Nan's expression from the corner of her eye, and her eyes locked on the exposed half of her face and the hat. understand.

Then, like a conditioned reflex, she stood up in a flash, leaning her body down as if to salute, but just stopped when she spoke and made movements: "Senior Yuan, Aniha..."

The reason why she stopped was because she could vaguely see that these two people didn't seem to want to communicate with them, and they didn't look this way when they heard the crying.

I secretly thought that I was a little anxious, if I had seen it just now, Minozaki Saka would not have taken the initiative to say hello at this time.

That's all for Kim Taeyeon, but Chi Jingyuan originally thought that they were wearing masks and he was wearing a hat, as long as they didn't take the initiative to say hello, it wouldn't make any difference if they slipped away.
However, he really didn't expect that even though he had done a good job at disguising, he would be recognized in just one encounter.

"Um, hello..."

Chi Jingyuan stopped and looked over, and immediately met Nai Minami's wide-open eyes, a pair of clear and surprised eyes were very eye-catching under the soft long hair, and Minozaki Saka next to her was A little apprehensive, it seems that he realized that his initiative to speak was a bit out of date.

"Why do you still have to salute? Are you so polite in private?" Seeing her action, Chi Jingyuan took off the mask, even though he was resting in his heart, there was a smile on his face, and he waved his hand casually to signal Don't engage in so many etiquettes, switch to neon language and say hello to them.

His spontaneity and amiability also relieved Minozaki Saka, who was a little embarrassing in her heart. She didn't smile, but bent her eyes and looked at him. With a sad head, he raised his head and looked at Hirai Momo with red eyes. He also stopped standing up.

"your friend?"

Kim Taeyeon, who was about to walk over, was stunned. Although she didn't understand Chi Jingyuan's Japanese, she understood the other party's greeting. After stopping, she looked left and right, and looked at Chi in surprise. King source.

"Um……"

Not really.

Hearing this question, Chi Jingyuan thought to himself, but he just exchanged a glance with Mingjing Nan. After seeing the expression and eyes of the other party, he didn't say much, just nodded: "Yes, this is the one I participated in the recording before. I met a few JYP trainees on the JYP show."

He briefly explained, but did not intend to introduce each other.

"Hey Yigu, you have a wide range of friends...but they all have one thing in common."

Taeyeon glanced at the three of them upon hearing the words, then looked at Chi Jingyuan with strange eyes, looked left, looked right, said something in a dark tone, glanced at him disdainfully, and took off the mask halfway, He took the initiative to say hello to the three of them: "Hello!"

Seeing that the three recognized her, she was surprised and quickly wanted to stand up and say hello, but she also waved her hand casually: "Forget it, Jing Yuan's relatives don't need to be like this."

But I didn't say much today, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan again, pouted in front of him: "Then I'm going first?"

"..." Chi Jingyuan shrugged. He was recognized and greeted him, so he must have said a few casual words.

Kim Taeyeon took a last look at the three trainees with a strange gaze, waved her hand at Chi Jingyuan, and left a sentence: "I'll give you something to remember." After that, she walked away with her short legs. , I don't want to wait a second longer.

She has absolutely no interest in these female trainees, if Chi Jingyuan hadn't said they were her friends, she wouldn't even say hello.

The four of them looked at the back of her leaving together, and turned their gazes back after the sound of footsteps went away. After looking at each other, the girls lowered their heads actively, as if they had returned to the state just now, and seemed a little disconcerted for a while. and silence.

Because there is no business in the desert, there are only a few shops on both sides of the alleyway that are still open at this time. The light of the incandescent lamps is a bit dazzling in the night sky. .

Another store closed.

"You are..."

Chi Jingyuan saw the state of these people, especially Hirai Momo who was crying and panting without raising his head. After thinking about it, he quickly came to his own judgment. Not going to rest in the dormitory, but running to this remote place with wine, nothing more than two situations...

He glanced left and right, and tentatively asked what he thought was the most likely guess:

"Dumped?"

"..." Hearing this word, Mingjing Nan froze for a moment, wanted to laugh but held back, glanced at Chi Jingyuan and said softly, "No..."

Some speechless Chi Jingyuan would actually think of this kind of speculation, but he couldn't help but feel that the current situation of Hirai Tao is indeed a bit similar.

"Oh."

Nodding his head, Chi Jingyuan immediately understood, looked at Hirai Momo who was silent with his head turned away, and paused: "It can't be, you were eliminated?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole scene became silent, and even the choking sound stopped.

Seeing their reactions, Chi Jingyuan knew that he had guessed right, and although Minozaki Saka and Hirai Momo seemed to be silent, Najing Nan secretly raised his head and exchanged glances with him, confirming the guess.

Although I was a little surprised to meet Chi Jingyuan here, but also a little happy, but when I returned to reality, I felt more sad and worried.

Chi Jingyuan guessed right, the reason why they appeared here at this moment is because of the "sixteen" recorded today, after several rounds of competition and screening, as a member of their neon line, Hirai Momo was eliminated.

For various reasons, these JYP neon trainees have been in a group since the company. Minazaki Saka and Hirai Momo even joined the JYP company together with the peninsula, and Nai Minami also joined the company. was absorbed into the small group.

They are already very familiar with each other and have a good relationship. After all three of them were selected into "sixteen", they secretly thought about debuting together and taking care of each other, but they didn't expect that the show was just halfway through, and one of them Individuals are eliminated.

Compared with reality, ideals are so fragile, and the beautiful fantasy that has not been long has been punctured like a bubble.

What's more, I didn't expect that it was Momo Hirai who was eliminated. Her strength is considered excellent among the trainees. Her singing skills may not be good, but her dancing skills can definitely be ranked first. It's hard to accept her sudden elimination.

When the recording of the program Park Zhenying was just announced, Nai Minami Minozaki Saka burst into tears in front of the camera, and after the program was filmed, it was also sad for a long time. When I saw Hirai Momo, I couldn’t accept it and cried. It's not over, and I came out together to help her relax and comfort her at night. Hirai Momo had already had some wine in the restaurant before, and after walking out, I don't know what I thought of here, and I sat there emotionally out of control After crying, the two of them could only sit by the side and comfort each other until now.

"It shouldn't be. I think your dance is quite good. You stand out among so many trainees. How could you be eliminated..."

Although he guessed it, Chi Jingyuan was a little puzzled, because he had a general impression of the level and quality of the trainees of "sixteen" after being a judge, except for a few outstanding ones, such as Lin Nayeon In addition to these, although Momo Hirai is not amazing, at least it can be ranked in the middle.

If he came to judge, no matter how we eliminated him, he wouldn't be able to eliminate her.

"..." Minozaki Saka and Najing Minami looked at each other, pursed their lips and didn't know how to answer, these two people were actually quite confused, and even if they had some guesses in their hearts, it was hard to say it at this time .

"Isn't it just that the company is biased? Is my strength weaker than hers? Is my dance worse than hers? Every time I PK, I deliberately choose me to lose. It was like this the first time, and it was like this last time. Ugh... this time I just let it go." Eliminate me directly, the standard is different every time, there are obviously so many weaker than me, cry..."

Hirai Momo, who had been choking up softly just now, buried her head in her legs, and didn't react too much even when she saw Chi Jingyuan and Kim Taeyeon, after hearing it, it seemed that the word "elimination" poked her power-up, She erupted suddenly, complaining angrily to the company a little bit out of control, saying that at the same time that she finally cried aggrievedly, she raised her foot and stomped the ground vigorously, and she didn't know who the kick in her heart was for.

All she spoke was neon language, because she was emotionally unstable, her words seemed to contain neon dialect slang from an unknown place, crying and cursing, even Chi Jingyuan couldn't hear it very clearly.

However, her anger and sadness were clearly felt from her tone of voice, the occasional dialect she blurted out, and the last ruthless kick.

Although it looked pitiful, the two friends next to him hurriedly comforted him in Japanese in a low voice, but to be honest, Chi Jingyuan felt a little calm in his heart.

Whether he was 'eliminated' or 'eccentric', he almost never had such a similar experience.

There is no way to empathize.

And in fact, he didn't know the other party very well. If it was Zhou Ziyu, even if it was Jing Nan, he might be moved and consider comforting him a little bit.

Looking at the neon trio who were huddled together and even depressed, Chi Jingyuan seemed to understand their feelings.

Speaking of which, the last time the club seemed to be these three people, it was really a fate.

After a few minutes, the crying gradually subsided, leaving only a little sobbing sound. Minozaki Saka hugged momo intimately, and Nai Minami seemed to be infected too, her eyes were red, and she wiped her tears with her hands from time to time. With a puckered mouth, he looked up pitifully, then quickly lowered his nose and smacked his nose twice.

"It's a pity to be eliminated, but it doesn't mean that there is no possibility of making a debut." With a sigh in his heart, Chi Jingyuan looked at the depressed people, and after thinking about it, he still spoke a few words : "After JYP's girl group this time, the next one will have to wait for three or four years. If you can wait, there is hope. If you can't wait, it's not just JYP, you can go to other companies to try. I think there should be no problem with your strength."

His voice attracted the attention of several people. Sana and Mina looked at him with their mouths pursed in anticipation. Hirai Momo, who hadn't raised his head much, couldn't help but stop sobbing, his mouth was half-open, and his eyes were swollen. come over.

"If you have to wait for the opportunity, forget it, but if you want to change companies, I suggest you have a good chat with your JYP manager before you leave, to see if your company has any other arrangements and plans for you, make sure There is no hope and then consider changing companies.”

As an industry insider, Chi Jingyuan gave some opinions of his own.

Trainees are not fixed in the first place, they can’t get one in the company for a long time, or they can’t wait for the opportunity to debut, and then debut as soon as they change companies, it’s not like hanging on a tree.

As for Hirai Momo, he felt that he was still somewhat talented, and changing to a smaller company would not mean that he would have no chance of debuting at all.

Even if they see that the neon trio is probably going to be dismantled, they may feel a little regretful and sad in their hearts.

Hearing that Chi Jingyuan was seriously giving advice to himself, the gentle voice seemed to soothe some of the grievances in his heart, Hirai Momo seemed to suddenly remember the identity of the other party, sniffed his nose, bent his body and hurried to a Xie: "Arigado..."

Just after she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, as if she realized that she had used the wrong language, she quickly bent over again, and said it again: "Kangsang Mita."

But just after she finished speaking, she remembered that the other party had just spoken in Japanese, and there was no problem in communicating very fluently and idiomatically. She was stuck there for a while, and seemed to be a little hesitant about which language to use.

"Ha ha……"

Unable to hold back a smile, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to check the time, and he didn't intend to stay any longer, so it was enough to give a suggestion based on their relationship and a little consolation.

The rest of the time should be left to these friends to chat with themselves and experience the feeling of failure and elimination.

In fact, it is quite conducive to growth and strength, no matter what, we still have to accept the reality.

After he laughed, he waved his hand: "Okay, think about it for yourself, I'll go first."

After he finished speaking, before he turned to leave, he looked at Mingjing Nan as if he was about to say something, but he glanced at the two girls next to him from the corner of his eye, thought for a while before giving up, beckoned, and moved his shoulders After the three of them said "goodbye" and "goodbye senior", they turned around and left quickly.

Looking at Chi Jingyuan's back disappearing into the darkness, the three neon girls' eyes lingered in that direction for a few seconds, and finally turned around, looked into each other's eyes, and pursed their lips.

"It's really a coincidence." Seeing that Hirai Tao might have listened to some of Chi Jingyuan's words, Minozaki Saxia calmed down a little, and showed a little smile to actively break the stiff atmosphere.

"Yes."

Mingjing Nan said something, but he was still a little sad and disappointed.

She is a girl with strong feelings. The elimination of her good friend really made her feel very sad. She was sobbed for a while because of the influence of the atmosphere, and she couldn't get over it with just two or three sentences.

The disappointment was because of the chance encounter with Chi Jingyuan, but he didn't say a word except for a few eye contact throughout the whole process, even when he said goodbye at the end, there was nothing special about it.

I thought that after several text messages and chats, she and the other party were already relatively close.

As a result, there was no such scene as "It's getting late, let's go back early, pay attention to safety..."

Thinking of the scene where the other party left just now, Mingjing Nan was low-key, and also a little bit dissatisfied.

After talking casually to Minozaki Sasha, she suddenly felt a shock in her waist, changed her posture, stretched her legs hugging her chest, and took out the cell phone in her pocket.

Clicking on it, seeing the sender and the text message with only a few words, Mingjing Nan couldn't help being stunned, and bit his lower lip lightly.

"Respond to the dormitory."
