peninsula asteroid.

Encountering such an emergency, after the phone was turned off, the chat with Zhou Ziyu just stopped abruptly, and the good mood in my heart disappeared immediately after returning from eating supper and shopping.

Chi Jingyuan leaned against the bed, thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "Are there any hot posts about my phone number on the forum on the peninsula?"

He didn't figure out how his phone number was exposed. If he guessed it, he guessed it too accurately.

I feel that the possibility of illegitimate meals is more likely.

Wu Shixun rummaged through the phone for a few minutes, then shook his head: "I can't find it, it's not in the hot posts."

After a pause, he was concerned about it, and looked over with a reasonable look: "Although it is really burdensome to have your phone number exposed, but if it is you, I still feel quite normal Yes, do you think that based on your popularity, there will be no illegitimate meal?"

"Sooner or later."

"Ugh."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan sighed, and Chi Jingyuan lay on the head of the bed a little restlessly.

Not being able to use the mobile phone is really a bit uncomfortable. He only brought this mobile phone when he came to Wanwan this time, and there are three other mobile phones specially used for voting, all of which are in Park Jae-hyun's place.

Looking up at the ceiling for a while, he rubbed his temples: "Forget it, go to sleep!"

"So early? It's not even eleven o'clock."

"Why don't you sleep?"

"You can't use your mobile phone to play your game console...and you were chatting with some female ticket just now, do you want me to lend you your mobile phone to finish talking with someone?"

"Hehe, thank you so much... Besides, it's not a female ticket!"

"Don't worry, I understand."

……

The other members knew about it early the next morning, and Chi Jingyuan also talked to his agent about the phone call. Although Li Chenghuan also had a headache, the company actually had no good way to deal with this kind of thing.

Of course, Chi Jingyuan also knew that he was just making a report, and he planned to change his phone number directly after returning to Seoul.

I knew before that many of my fans were fanatical, but this time Chi Jingyuan really learned it again, especially the woman who directly posted the exposed photos. I don’t know if it’s Ai Li. Feel a little helpless.

As for those text messages cursing at himself, he didn't take them to heart, especially those VIP fans who looked like bigbang, and the text messages sent by Pei Zhuxuan's crazy male fan. A degree of understanding.

The latter, in particular, really makes sense.

Although this is indeed a very burdensome thing, after all, it has already happened, and he will not always worry about disturbing his emotions. After breakfast, he quickly put it aside temporarily and devoted himself to work among.

Local fans have been waiting for a long time, and the EXO 12nd Curve Concert, which has caused a wave of ticket sales on the Internet, was finally held at the Taipei Arena on the afternoon of the 12th. It was held for two consecutive days on the 13th and [-]th. Nearly [-] spectators make the venues full of seats every day.

Among the audience, there are many celebrities who brought their children and friends to watch together. I heard from the agent that many of them are quite popular hosts and actors in the local area, and they are all obtained through the channels of local SM partners. to the tickets.

I don't know if they really like EXO, or just want to follow the popular trend these days.

It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan hasn't paid much attention to the entertainment circle here, and doesn't know these people very well.

In his impression of Wanwan artists, apart from a pillar of the Chinese music scene and a few older idol drama actors from the previous generation, he only knows a classmate Zhou Ziyu, a rising star who is still in his infancy and has not yet debuted.

Two days of concerts have already been held, and on the 14th, I ran a few more trips that were planned before. After finishing everything and returning to the hotel, Chi Jingyuan, who was about to fly back to Seoul early the next morning, remembered what happened today. birthday girl.

I don't know if Zhou Ziyu who didn't receive a birthday greeting text message today would be a little upset when the chatting suddenly stopped abruptly the day before yesterday.

However, based on Chi Jingyuan's understanding of her...

Should have been used to it.

……

"Happy birthday baby."

Zhou's mother put a prepared little crown on Zhou Ziyu's head, then watched her blew out the candles on the cake with a little embarrassment, and applauded happily to celebrate her daughter's one-year-old daughter.

Born in 99, after her birthday, she is already seventeen years old, and she can barely be considered a big girl.

After arriving in Seoul, Zhou’s mother took all the things she brought to Zhou Ziyu’s dormitory. After visiting her living environment, she chatted with the director of JYP to learn about her daughter’s current situation. Today, on the evening of the 14th, she brought I followed Zhou Ziyu to the mall to do some shopping, and then came to celebrate her birthday in the box of a mid-to-high-end restaurant near the company that I made a reservation for.

"thanks Mom."

Looking at the cake and mother in front of him, shaking the little princess crown on his head, Zhou Ziyu grinned happily, and was very relaxed while being moved.

The feeling of being with loved ones is still different.

The mother and daughter took a few selfies together and started to eat, chatting while eating. Mother Zhou was very curious and concerned about her daughter's recent life and career development.

And Zhou Ziyu also enjoys her mother's care happily, without reservation, and answers questions with great interest, chatting about recent happy and burdensome things.

"Your dormitory is quite big, and the interior decoration is not bad, but the location doesn't feel very good, and the surroundings are not very prosperous and look messy."

"It's already very good, it's very close to the company... The dormitory of the minor group is actually a bit worse. I lived in it for a while before, and the dormitory of ordinary trainees is even worse..."

"Didn't JYP say it's a big entertainment company in the peninsula, and the accommodation conditions are so mediocre?"

"The companies here are all like this... Mom, don't you know..."

"...I've watched the program "sixteen". It also started playing on Wanwan. It has attracted a lot of attention. Where have you recorded it? How are you doing?"

"Recorded to the stage of the guerrilla performance...my vote is the highest, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ziyu was a little speechless.

"Baby." The mother and daughter practiced, and immediately felt the hard work and pressure that Zhou Ziyu had endured recently for her debut. Mother Zhou couldn't help but hold her hand, a little worried, and said very earnestly: "Don't worry too much. It’s stressful, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t debut.”

"Ah."

Zhou Ziyu grabbed her mother's hand, pursed her lips and nodded.

Not even a few seconds later, she still looked at the other party. Although her tone was soft, her expression was serious and her eyes were firm: "I...I want to debut, and I will definitely work hard."

Although her mother's care and comfort moved her very much and she was very heartwarming, but Zhou Ziyu, who came to Seoul alone at the age of 13, lived for so many years in a place where the language was difficult, very xenophobic, and the place where he was born, felt far away. Tougher than her face looked.

Although sometimes it still looks a bit naive in some places, but she knows exactly what she wants.

Zhou's mother also smiled, and encouraged her without any doubt: "We will all cheer for you. Speaking of which, your father and your brother actually want to come to see you this time..."

The mother and daughter couldn't help wiping away their tears when they were talking emotionally, but the warm atmosphere also reverberated in the box.

After the sentimental mood eased, the smile reappeared, and Zhou's mother mentioned Chi Jingyuan naturally: "It's a pity that I didn't see your friend this time, have you followed the news at home recently?" ? He and his group are really popular in Wanwan, many celebrities are their fans, and they have been in the news several times in order to grab tickets to their concerts."

Thinking of the news she had found, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "Speaking of which, Mom has never seen such a popular star in real life."

"It's not that he doesn't want to come."

Seemingly worried about her mother's misunderstanding, Zhou Ziyu quickly chewed what was in her mouth twice and swallowed it quickly, then put down her chopsticks and tried to explain to Chi Jingyuan: "It's because..."

"Of course I know."

Seeing her daughter's appearance, she interrupted Zhou Ziyu's words, then smiled and waved her hand: "He happened to go to our place for a concert in the past two days, right? I saw the news in the morning."

"It's really a coincidence. Next time, I must express my gratitude." She said, looking at Zhou Ziyu with some love: "Do you think that my mother is as ignorant as you, accepting care from others for no reason?"

"It's not for nothing, I also helped him..." Wei Wei was a little annoyed, Zhou Ziyu tried to defend herself, but she felt that she didn't have much confidence in what she said, so her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it clearly.

"By the way, baby, you haven't said anything about how you met Chi Jingyuan before. He's become so popular. EXO is now the most powerful combination in the entire peninsula, right? I checked and he's still the hottest in EXO." That one, how did you meet him? It’s not from the same company.”

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother also became interested and looked at her daughter very curiously. Although she knew that Zhou Ziyu and Chi Jingyuan were very good friends, based on what she learned, the two had a certain relationship. It's not a hang-up at all.

He is a popular TOP idol in Asia, and his daughter is an ordinary foreign trainee who has not even confirmed her debut. It is really difficult for her to connect the two of them together.

"When I knew him, EXO wasn't popular yet, I saw that he couldn't even pronounce his name..."

Seemingly sensing her mother's contempt for her, Zhou Ziyu was a little dissatisfied and made an excuse in a low voice.

Afterwards, following her mother's question, she couldn't help recalling it.

By the way, how did you know each other?

It happened several years ago.

In fact, you don’t need to think too much, because even though it has been several years, the image at that time still has a deep impression on Zhou Ziyu’s heart, and when you are alone in private, you will often recall the scene at that time inadvertently.

"That time was..." Her pupils were blurred with brilliance, as if she had returned to that time again:
"The company has two buildings. The trainee building is too old to be renovated, so all the trainees are temporarily moved to the left building to practice, but I didn't understand what the teacher said at the time... Also, no one told me …When I came to practice that day, I was dumbfounded when I saw that the right building was blocked. I didn’t know what to do or where to go next, so I stood in a daze at the door of the building. I really want to go home…”

When I first came to the peninsula, life was really not very good due to the language barrier. Coupled with the instinctive exclusion and underestimation of some trainees, for Zhou Ziyu, the memories of that period were mostly sad and gloomy in retrospect. For the first month, she had to call her mother every two days, and almost cried very sadly every time.

Although Zhou Ziyu was talking about memories at this time, and the tone of telling the story was not sad, but Zhou's mother still clearly felt the confusion and loneliness in her daughter's heart at that time, and held her hand very distressed.

She has also experienced and understood the hard work of people from other places and even foreigners living in the local area.

"Then he suddenly called me and asked me what I was doing standing there..."

The flash of light in the gray memories finally came to Zhou Ziyu's deepest memory. The corners of her mouth inadvertently twitched, and she smiled very nicely as she told the story at that time: "I remember it clearly Yes, he started to use Korean, but he changed to Japanese when he saw that I couldn’t understand, and changed to Chinese at the end, the expression at that time is very interesting when I think about it now..."

"At the time, I didn't know why we met at the door, but after reading the news, I found out that he must have come to our company to discuss cooperation songs, but it happened to be the same day, so we just ran into each other, what a coincidence... "

"...After he heard me tell the reason for standing there, he seemed to see what happened immediately, so he directly told me about changing places to practice... I don't know how he, an artist of SM, knew Yes, he knew that I didn't know...then he took me upstairs and told me about the practice room..."

"...In the end, he had already left. Maybe he looked at me pitifully, so he turned around and told me his phone number, saying that he could ask him for help if he encountered something that couldn't be solved. In the end, he didn't even He didn't even tell me his name, and he even said his name is 'Locomotive', hehehe, I only found out his name after searching EXO later..."

"Isn't it really a coincidence?"

Looking at the heart-wrenching clear smile on her daughter's face and the brilliance in her eyes, Mother Zhou nodded and echoed, listening to her continue to happily tell the follow-up story with a very interested look.

It's just that while feeling in my heart that there is really a lot of fate, I can't help but sigh softly.

But it's also too fateful, to meet such an excellent person at such a young and lonely time... Actually, it's really not a very good thing.

The birthday feast between mother and daughter was harmonious and warm. After the dinner was full, Mother Zhou called the waiter to pay the bill.

Zhou Ziyu took the time to sit there, shaking his legs lightly in a very happy mood, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to swipe a few times, seeing the profile picture of Chi Jingyuan who still had no reply, curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

I casually clicked on the webpage news, and saw a news about EXO with a glance, but it was not about their concert in the past two days, but a draft of a preview of the show.

"On the evening of the 10th, EXO collectively participated in the recording of the variety show "I Am Peninsula", showing the unique charm of the most popular group at the moment. Yuan was absent from the recording due to personal schedule"

After seeing the title, as well as the date and time inside, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but froze for a moment, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the whole person became quiet.

……

On the early morning of the 15th, EXO returned to Seoul by plane. Before that, he used Oh Se-hoon’s mobile phone to notify Park Jae-hyun, who was not with him. After returning to the company, the first thing Chi Kyung-won did was to replace Park Jae-hyun, who had already done it. The new mobile phone and Number.

God knows whether the previous phone call was accidentally guessed by fans, obtained by illegitimate fans through relationship channels, or leaked deliberately by some artists in the circle who were unhappy with him. Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to think about the specific reasons. The mobile phone number is very troublesome, so I simply got two numbers this time.

One is used for work, and in the future, I will use this to exchange contact information with some seniors or artists who are not familiar with in the circle, or even the manufacturers I cooperate with. Even if it is accidentally exposed, the impact will not be great.

The other is private, and will only be given to some very familiar and close friends, relatives, members of the group, and family members that he trusts.

Turned on the previous mobile phone again, and it was crackling non-stop as soon as it was turned on. Chi Jingyuan didn't care how many text messages and calls he had received in the past two days, so he directly opened the text message interface and edited a message 'changed to a new number' XXXXX save it, the previous number is no longer needed' text message, and then start to select recipients in the address book, ready to send out in groups.

'Kim Junmyeon, Oh Sehun, Do Kyungsoo...'

'Bae Joohyun, Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan, Kim Taeyeon, Sunny..."

'Bae Suzy, Jung Eunji, Choi Sulli...'

'Zhou Ziyu.'

From the top down to the bottom, a lot of names were framed, Chi Jingyuan found that there are actually quite a lot of close friends.

Nodding, he stopped on the name 'Mingjing Nan'.

Originally, I planned to skip it directly, because in fact, the two people are not very familiar with each other, but they can occasionally send text messages to chat.

It's just that he suddenly hesitated for some reason, and inexplicably remembered the comment that Zhou Ziyu told him two days ago:
"She doesn't communicate much except with certain people... and doesn't have many friends... I think she's actually lonely..."

After a pause of two seconds, Chi Jingyuan still framed the name Mingjing Nan.

Anyway, by the way.

After being busy for a while, he sent text messages to the people in the address book to inform them of the new numbers. After everything was settled, he was about to turn off the phone and bid farewell to the phone that had been used for several years. Among the many text messages that he received, let him take a casual look at the two messages that impressed him the most. After pondering for a while, he stopped and turned off the phone, and opened the text message interface.

"picture."

"Please don't do that."

"picture."

"picture."

The fan who directly sent him the revealing pictures, not only did not change a little after he specifically expressed his rejection, but became more and more excited. In the past few days, when his mobile phone was turned off, he would send a lot of selfies every day , and even more indulgent than the first time, more and more exposed, some even without clothes on.

Looking at these photos that would excite many opposite sexes, Chi Jingyuan glanced at them, but he didn't feel that way at all, only helplessness and boredom.

This kind of behavior feels that fans have lost their love for idols. Either the relationship has undergone a perverted change, or she is not a fan of him or EXO at all, but sends these pictures with other purposes.

If it's the latter, maybe any screenshot of Chi Jingyuan's reply will appear on the Internet and be circulated in a few days, becoming the capital for the other party to invite fame and show off.

He only tried to persuade the other party because he might be his fan before. After seeing the other party getting worse, Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to say anything now, and directly blocked this person, out of sight and out of mind.

After that, he scrolled forward in the text messages for a long time, and finally found the message from the fan who was excluded and isolated, which he received a few days ago and the last one he saw before turning off the phone. .

"...I feel really uncomfortable being isolated by everyone around me. Oppa is the only light in my gloomy life..."

"...I didn't sleep well last night. I dozed off during class today. The teacher severely criticized me, and the people next to me laughed happily..."

"...Actually, there are quite a few people in the class who like XO as much as I do. They often communicate with each other after class, but I am afraid of being rejected, so I dare not join in, so I can only watch secretly every time... Sure enough, the most people like Yuan Oppa..."

This female fan's life may indeed be very difficult. She seems to regard this phone number, which is not sure whether it is Chi Jingyuan, as a trash can and a tree hole. She has sent such a message every day for the past two days. vent.

Maybe he really hoped that this number belonged to Chi Jingyuan, so that he could be seen by his idol.

After reading it again from beginning to end, Chi Jingyuan also deeply felt the depression and loneliness of the other party, as well as his crazy love and support for EXO in these words and tone.

It's just that after these two feelings are mixed together, people can't help but feel a kind of silent deepness and darkness.

Especially without knowing it, Chi Jingyuan, who was regarded as a spiritual pillar by the other party, felt an unspeakable sense of heaviness.

After being quiet for a while, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, picked up the phone, typed a few words and sent it: "Please don't do this again."

Exactly the same words and tone as the person who sent the exposed photos before.

It's just that the answer I got was completely different.

Maybe the other party happened to be using a mobile phone, and soon Chi Jingyuan received a reply. Unlike the previous person who sent Luo photos even more unscrupulously after being rejected, this female fan's apology came very quickly, and her wording and tone were full of breath. Uncomfortably cautious and alarmed.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, I won't post anymore."

Seeing this reply, Chi Jingyuan fell silent again.

After thinking about it for a while, he sighed, tapped the screen quickly, and sent the message to the other party:

"I don't use this number anymore, do you have an Instagram?"
