After Girls' Generation began to enter the busy album preparation period, neither Kim Taeyeon nor Kim Hyo-yeon had the time and energy to "discipline" the trainees who were selected for the public trainee program - since the senior who was almost equivalent to the "female devil" in Kang Shiqi's heart no longer appeared in the old building of S.M. Company, it was like a dark cloud blocking the sun finally dissipated from the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the daily practice time is still very long, the intensity of practice is still very high, and the large and small exams are still waiting for them - but without Kim Tae-yeon's almost deliberate targeting, Bae Joo-hyun, who has been sad and unmotivated, does feel that life has become much better.

After surviving the annual exam at the end of 2012, there are few girls left who are still in the open trainee program: all the girls who passed that brutal exam know very well that they are only one step away from debut. After the debut of the male idol group EXO, the next group to be launched by S.M. must be a girl group, and as long as they can survive in this open trainee program, then it is probably only a matter of time before they debut.

For Bae Joo-hyun, who is about to become a big problem and is about to lose sight of the future path, it is already a thing to celebrate by successfully surviving the annual assessment led by Kim Young-min, the president himself--but perhaps to repay all the pressure and hardships she has endured over the years, at the last moment of that annual exam, she was lucky to be the most special person in this group of trainees.

After she was declared qualified, just as tears began to roll in her eyes, President Kim, who had never talked to the trainees very much, actually stood up and personally commented on her performance during the exam: "Bae Joo-hyun, right? Although your current performance still leaves a lot to be desired, it has already made me and all the teachers here see your progress and potential." ”

If the words were only to this point, maybe it would be enough to bow respectfully and express gratitude to President Kim, but what Kim Young-min said next made Bae Joo-hyun almost can't believe his ears.

"You're probably the oldest of all the children, right? In that case, you're going to be the captain of the pre-debut students, right?"

"I still remember that during the first assessment, you sang a song written by the kid at NAN, right? After the public trainee program was officially announced, you can re-record that song and make a sound?"

In Jiang Shiqi's memory, even in the most difficult moments, this Ernie who looks soft on the outside but is very strong on the inside has never cried so violently - even on the night of the end of the annual exam, this Ernie was still secretly wiping tears in the dormitory room.

Not only did she successfully pass the annual exam, but even Bae Joo-hyun, who was extremely close to her, became the captain of the open trainee program, or the new version of the debut preparatory student, as if all the happiness had suddenly befallen them.

It's just that this happiness seems to lack a witness who can be happy for them, cheer for them, and celebrate for them - since she entered the S.M. company as a trainee and met the brother who always took care of her, almost every time she passed the exam, every time she encountered something good, that brother would smile and say to her, "Shiki, why are you smiling like this?" Such words, and then accompanied her to eat in the small restaurant next to the company while shaking her head.

How long has it been since I have been in touch? Although he rushed up without hesitation when Pei Zhuhyun was at his hardest, which moved her very much, but now Jiang Shiqi's heart still can't help but be full of resentment - I don't mention Christmas greetings and New Year's Day greetings, but he didn't even care about important things like the annual exam that determine the life and death of trainees, is there still her and Bae Zhuhyun in this brother's heart?

Even if she was stopped by Pei Zhuhyun, so that Jiang Shiqi had no way to vent all the grievances in her heart, she was not ready to let go of the brother who was standing in front of her so easily.

"The seniors have already abandoned this place, and it's not too much for us to use these good empty rooms for our trainees, right?

"Shiki, I've been really busy for a while, and you know that I have a filming schedule for a TV series, and I still have a lot of stage performances to do at the end of the year, so forgive me, okay?"

Although Jiang Shiqi always likes to quarrel with him, she is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure: as long as she coaxes her well, there is basically no problem that cannot be solved - after hearing Jiang Shiqi's still somewhat unrelenting tone, Wang Nanqian smiled helplessly and began to coax this girl who was making trouble.

"Qian Oppa, you are now a big star, a popular singer who has acted in a lot of TV dramas, and it is normal not to think about contacting us little trainees......"

"Okay, okay, I know, what do you want to eat for dinner later? If you order takeout, shall I invite you?" understood that Jiang Shiqi was probably really angry this time, and Wang Nanqian could only use the last resort.

“…… I want to eat Korean beef! I want to eat it in the store! The kind of restaurant with good decoration...... Let's make an appointment the night after tomorrow, okay?"

Obviously hesitating, between continuing to denounce Wang Nanqian and food, Jiang Shiqi finally chose food - but she still added a small "request" at the end.

"Shiki, how long are you going to mess around?" Although after entering the public trainee program, Jiang Shiqi, a sister who is much younger than her and has been a trainee for a lot longer, has helped her survive the most difficult years, but when this sister wrinkled her nose and embarrassed the man in front of her with a very embarrassed expression on his face, Bae Zhuhyun still resolutely chose to stand on the side of the man she had a crush on - whether from a rational point of view, Still from an emotional point of view, she felt that she had done nothing wrong, "Qian Oppa did not ......"

"Ernie, why are you still talking for Oppa at this time? Have you forgotten what you said when you were lying in bed after the annual exam?"

"What did I say?"

"Ernie have you forgotten? You were crying at that time, and you said that if you were Oppa......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Ernie! how can you ...... with others if you are always like this?"

"Jiang Shiqi!"

didn't expect that a denunciation of himself launched by Jiang Shiqi would turn into a war between two girls so inexplicably - seeing that Pei Zhuhyun, who was standing in front of him, clenched his fists hard, stared at Jiang Shiqi with his neck tilted, and his entire petite body was trembling slightly because of the breathing that became violent, Wang Nanqian had to quickly take two steps forward and stand between the two girls who quarreled without knowing why, to stop this farce.

"Zhu Hyun, Shi Qi is right, although I am very busy, I should always take some time to care about you," because the two girls were already very close, and now Wang Nanqian, who was blocking between them, could even feel that the breath exhaled by Pei Zhu Hyun, who was facing up, was constantly spraying into his face, "I really should apologize to you, but I actually asked Brother Xuan Jun about your annual exam, and he said that you both passed the exam, so I didn't ...... again."

"Qian Oppa, have you asked your agent? about us?" Pei Zhuhyun, who was standing in front of Wang Nanqian, still pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, but Jiang Shiqi, who had been arguing with him just now, opened his mouth behind his back first.

"Well, he told me that you two are doing well," probably because he heard that Jiang Shiqi no longer mentioned the events of the night after the annual exam, the expression on Pei Zhuhyun's face seemed to ease slightly, although there was still some blush on her face after excitement, but her breathing became much more stable - this made Wang Nanqian's heart also slightly relieved, so he turned around, "At that time, I was." The crew of the school's 2013 TV series didn't have much time to go back to the company, so it was ......"

"Your TV series are all over, and I haven't seen you come down to find us!" Because Wang Nanqian brought the topic back to himself, Jiang Shiqi, who had shouted at Pei Zhuhyun and had almost vented the accumulated grievances in his heart, flattened his mouth at this time, and even his eyes seemed to become a little red when he poured bitter water on Wang Nanqian, "Ernie and I couldn't sleep well every day before the annual exam, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the ......"

"Okay, okay, isn't this already safe and sound?" Sure enough, as long as he admits his mistake and says a few nice words, Jiang Shiqi will definitely not make trouble anymore - he has known this sister for so many years, Wang Nanqian is very clear about this girl's character: as long as he says a few good words again, and then bribes a little bit, he will probably be able to successfully dissipate the resentment in Jiang Shiqi's heart," I really should celebrate for you, Shiki, or I'll buy you a Hanwoo gift bag as a ......."

"Who wants a Hanwoo gift bag, Qian Oppa, I just want to have a meal with you the day after tomorrow, even if it's not Hangeok, it's just a casual roadside stall...... Isn't this a very excessive request?" Wang Nanqian never expected that Jiang Shiqi, the girl, had not fallen into his "routine" at all-this girl wrinkled her nose in front of him, "Qian Oppa, didn't you want me to forgive you just now? As long as you invite me to dinner, I will forgive you." ”

Why do you have to go out to eat? Why does it have to be the day after tomorrow? Jiang Shiqi doesn't know his current situation -- if someone photographs him going out to eat with a girl, maybe something will happen again, why is Jiang Shiqi so persistent? She was obviously not such an ignorant child before?

His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask such words directly-Jiang Shiqi's expression standing in front of him was clear to him: If he didn't agree to this matter now, this sister would definitely not let him go today.

“…… Does it have to be the day after tomorrow? You can eat anything?"

"Well, you can eat anything, Zhu Hyun Oni and I have had time since the afternoon. Seeing that Wang Nanqian was about to agree to her request, Jiang Shiqi's mood suddenly improved: she reached out and grabbed the arm of the brother standing in front of her, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I see...... I will come to the company the day after tomorrow, and when it is noon the day after tomorrow, I will go downstairs to find you. ”

didn't talk about the matter to death, Wang Nanqian first left a little leeway for himself: even if he went out to eat with the trainees of the same company, he had to discuss it with Lin Xuanjun or Lee Seung-hwan, the two agents of EXO - in case those two agents said "no" to him, no matter how angry and unhappy Jiang Shiqi was, he could only follow the agent's decision.

Maybe the other predecessors will not be treated so harshly by the company, but the EXO group has not really made any money for the company after all - until they get a song on the stage and become a popular artist, they can only live under the company's strict rules.

Survival is now the first priority for them rather than freedom.

"Qian Oppa, do you know why Shiki must ask you to come out for dinner the day after tomorrow?"

After Jiang Shiqi finally felt satisfied and shouted, "I want to use the bathroom on the ground too", she jumped into the women's bathroom next to the corridor, and Pei Zhuhyun opened her mouth softly again - she understood very well why Jiang Shiqi said such things to Wang Nanqian, and she also understood very well that this man who had become popular recently because of the continuous filming of TV series, and almost didn't look like he was in the same world as her, probably didn't understand Jiang Shiqi's intentions at all.

So she decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to "mention" this man she had a crush on, with a gentle smile and a gentle personality.

"I just don't know...... So ......"

"Oppa, everyone who is also an EXO member like you knows what day it is, why don't you know?"

"All I know is Valentine's Day in a few days...... But what day after tomorrow is it? Is it a special day for EXO, and why do our members know what day it is?"

“…… Qian Oppa, the day after tomorrow is Shiki's birthday!" (To be continued.) )
