The next day, Li Yiming still got up early in the morning and sweated in the gym as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After that, he continued to practice yoga, and it was close to noon before Li Yiming finished the tempering of his body, returned to the locker room to wash his body, changed back into casual clothes, put the changed clothes into a bag, and then carried them to the car.

Sitting in the car, Li Yiming had time to take out his mobile phone, which already had countless missed calls and messages.

Li Yiming was stunned, and clicked on the top one, which was a text message from Wang Xiaoming.

[See news.] ]

A few short words made Li Yiming feel a little bad, and he clicked on a portal casually, only to find that the online world had been fried into a pot of porridge.

The Internet people, who are already burning at one point, are focusing on the same thing, and the top eight items on the real-time hot search list are all related search terms.

Without exception, they all pointed to Li Yiming, who was still in a state of confusion.

Li Yiming casually opened a related news, and it was another entertainment report reprinted from Dispatch.

First, under the short and blurry video, a sentence was marked:

Lee Il-ming, Kim Jong-in, follow-up.

It starts playing, and it's a surveillance video from an underground parking lot.

Although it was a different angle, the familiar scene still made Li Yiming's heart sink.

The video is less than a minute and a half, and there is almost no movement in the first 30 seconds, and at the 31st second, a person suddenly falls from behind a wall pillar and falls to the ground, and the upper half of his body appears under the camera.

It looks a little weird at first glance, but after careful consideration, you can find that this person should have been knocked to the ground, and after he fell to the ground in the video, he struggled to sit up and kept facing the wall pillar, as if there should be another person behind the wall pillar and in the place where the camera can't see.

Three seconds later, the camera switches to reveal another camera footage.

A burly man left in the other direction with a girl in his arms, then got into an SUV and drove away.

Although the video is very blurry, the two people who appeared on the camera are dressed the same as the photos exposed not long ago, and they can basically confirm the identities of the two protagonists.

As for who that girl is...

There is a detailed comparison in the back, the dress, body shape, and hairstyle all coincide with a popular idol - the other party's public itinerary one day, on the way to the TV station to attend a script study meeting, was photographed by fans, and there is almost no error with the girl in the video.

Of course, this girl is none other than a member of the popular group F(x), who has received a lot of attention this year because of her fixed variety show with her sister, and her already very good popularity has increased, and she even took on a TV series, and is about to debut again as an actor, Krystal.

Li Yiming turned off the news, put aside the missed calls and the information he hadn't checked for the time being, and made a call first.

The call was quickly connected, and a somewhat anxious voice came, not as crisp and lively as before, "Oppa." ”

"Xiujing." Li Yiming took a cautious breath, "I just saw the news." ”

"......" on the other end of the phone was only the sound of breathing.

Li Yiming pondered for a while, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm ......" Zheng Xiujing's voice paused for a long time, "So what does OPPA think?" ”

Li Yiming didn't rush to speak, and thought about it very carefully.

"Otherwise, let's just issue an announcement to admit it."

"Don't!" Zheng Xiujing hurriedly spoke, and the swiftness of her answer made Li Yiming a little stunned.

Realizing that her tone was too eager, Zheng Xiujing said slowly: "No, oppa."

"Not to mention our company, just our group, there have been a lot of things going on recently. At such a juncture, this matter is a big problem, and it will really have a serious impact on F(x). ”

Li Yiming was silent for a short time.

He said quietly after a while: "But it's been exposed, isn't it, we can't even hide it." ”

"That can't be admitted." Zheng Xiujing's tone was unquestionable, "Even if this is the case, as long as you resolutely deny it, the impact will be much smaller."

"It's just that they were photographed leaving together, and it's not obvious enough to really be forced to admit it."

"Xiujing." Li Yiming's eyes sank, but he still controlled his tone and did not change, "Didn't you say it before, it has been photographed many times, but fortunately it was all suppressed by the company." ”

"There will always be times when I can't hold it back, and when things are exposed, don't you and I become liars?

"When the time comes, things will be hyped up as expected...... Aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid."

Zheng Xiujing did not hesitate, "But I'm more afraid of being exposed now."

"OPPA, there have been a lot of things going on in our company lately, and I really don't want to cause more turmoil because of my own reasons.

"And the combination will definitely be implicated, and our group really can't accept such a series of blows."

Li Yiming was stunned, "F(x)... Is something wrong? ”

Zheng Xiujing on the opposite side hesitated for a while, "Shirley, do you remember?" ”

"Yes."

"The news of her love, the company can't hold it down, and it will be forced to be made public by next month at the latest... And Shirley has recently negotiated with the company to quit the team. ”

The withdrawal of popular members from the team, for a group, especially a girl group, it is of course self-evident how serious the consequences can be, not to mention that after being forced to admit that the love news is true.

confessed this matter, Zheng Xiujing no longer blindly concealed it: "My sister's withdrawal from Girls' Generation, oppa, you know, has not been announced now, but after the official termination, it will definitely be officially announced."

"The national degree of Girls' Generation, oppa also knows, and it will definitely cause an uproar when the time comes.

"And ...... The company's boy group EXO has been restless this year, and the two Chinese members have withdrawn from the group one after another through legal means, and the remaining two are like time bombs, no one knows when they will explode.

"Such an eventful season, the matter between me and OPPA, at least can't it be the last straw that crushes the camel, right? Even if it's a little delay, a month, or two, at least don't break out with Shirley's affair, so that there will still be a buffer.

"Oppa, it's really an emergency right now, and I really don't want to make our whole group collapse for a while."

Li Yiming leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zheng Xiujing, who did not receive a response, was a little uneasy about Li Yiming's unstated attitude.

“oppa？”

After screaming a few times in succession, Li Yiming reacted.

"Hmmm......"

"What does OPPA think?"

Li Yiming leaned on the porthole with his left hand, holding his forehead, and a touch of helplessness appeared on his expressionless face for a long time.

"I'm actually thinking the same thing as I just thought."

“oppa！”

"Still." Zheng Xiujing's anxious voice was interrupted by him, "But ...... Now that you've said so, I'll think about it again. ”

"OPPA must be well considered." Zheng Xiujing's voice turned cloudy and clear, "My company should already be contacting OPPA's agent, you can discuss it with him at that time." ”

"Hmm......" Li Yiming dragged his throat.

"But I still want to ask."

"What's the matter?" The voice on the other end of the phone became cautious again.

"If you don't admit it, can it really make much difference?" Li Yiming frowned, "If you keep being at a stalemate like this, in fact, I don't care, but won't it really make the masses of those good things angry?"

"The energy that public opinion can explode, Xiujing, you have lived in this land for so long, you should know much better than me, right? Resolutely refusing to admit it, maybe they will not let them scold a few words and give up, but in the face of what they think is the truth, but they are all denied by the parties like 'scoundrels', their reaction will definitely be more intense. The consequences will be even more severe......

"Blindly escaping, holding the idea of 'enduring a while', when everything is turned back on the table, when it comes up together... It is almost to be expected that things will continue to expand and cause more serious effects.

"Such consequences...... It shouldn't be hard to predict, right?

"Even if you don't know... Didn't S.M think about that? Li Yiming's tone was very surprised, "I can realize the problem, it is impossible for so many people up and down the company not to be aware of it." ”

As an entertainment company, of course, it is very important to regard public comments, public opinion trends, and national identity, and attaches great importance to the maintenance and publicity of the artist's image. The largest entertainment company in the Korean music industry will not be aware of such a problem?

is obviously nonsense, Li Yiming doesn't think how smart he is, what kind of "chosen son" with a unique vision.

Something flashed in Li Yiming's eyes.

Although it was tentative, his tone was very firm, "Xiujing, are you hiding something from me?" ”

"I'm just ......" Zheng Xiujing's words were half a beat slower.

Li Yiming saw the stitches, "There must be."

"Xiujing, stop lying to me."

Silence, Zheng Xiujing on the other end of the phone was silent all of a sudden, and once again only the sound of subtle and clear breathing remained.

"I'm sorry...... oppa。 ”

Li Yiming exhaled a breath of turbidity, but he didn't intend to say the sentence, "It's okay." ”

"So what?

"So... What is S.M going to do? Li Yiming's tone was very calm.

"Company ......" Zheng Xiujing hesitated for a long time, "The meaning of the company is ......"

For no reason, Li Yiming felt that Zheng Xiujing's answer would make his emotions fluctuate greatly. has begun to be uneasy, but he is still waiting for the answer that the other party has given him a bad premonition.

"Let's talk about it......" However, Li Yiming still suppressed the emotions in his heart, and his tone seemed to be indifferent.

"The company intends to hold you back and then unilaterally admit it......

"The news that I'm in love with Zhong Ren."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Li Yiming's premonition was not an illusion, and he was indeed caught off guard.

"Xiujing, what does this mean?" After Li Yiming was stunned for a short time, he thought about it a little, and suddenly understood what S.M company was doing:

The matter of Li Yiming and Zheng Xiujing has been dragged on, and sooner or later there will be an exposure day, rather than waiting for more "evidence" to be poked out, it is better to take the initiative to expose it and minimize the impact.

But the object can't be Li Yiming.

The combination of Zheng Xiujing and Li Yiming has attracted absolutely impactful attention - Li Yiming's popularity can be put aside in Europe and the United States for the time being, even in Asia, most of the S.M artists are tied together, and they may not be qualified to compare them together.

The two sides are not of the same magnitude, you can not know that Hallyu does not know these famous idols in South Korea, but you can't not know the Asian star with yellow skin and black eyes, relying on his own strength to fight on a world-class stage like the NBA, and even won the championship - Li Yiming.

Li Yiming is not an idol, and as an athlete, news like falling in love will not have any negative impact on him. Even though his worldwide popularity is so high that it is staggering and has countless fans, although personal privacy such as "love" will make people curious and even discussed, it will not be like idol, which needs to be covered up and hidden, and once exposed, there is a risk of becoming news headlines.

The reason for this is, of course, because he does not rely on that face or image in front of the media to gain recognition, but relies on his football skills and performance on the pitch to eat.

Zheng Xiujing is completely different, as an idol, if she wants to be recognized by the public, things like singing strength are only secondary, and the image presented in front of the public is the foundation of her foothold in the entertainment industry.

Once the relationship with Li Yiming is exposed, how will the masses view the huge gap between the two parties in terms of popularity, social status and even wealth? The two are not in the same circle, but under all-round crushing, Zheng Xiujing can only be in a weak position after all.

However, the public will not sympathize with her "vulnerability", but will intensify it and inflict all kinds of vicious words on her.

Sparrows become phoenixes, Cinderella, climb high branches... Such a description can already be regarded as a good word, but more will be endless slander and wanton bad comments.

"I must have taken a fancy to other people's money."

"It's either a name or a profit."

"The ability is quite big, and he really climbs a character like Li Yiming."

"What did Yi Ming Xi like about her?"

"It must be an endless handout in exchange for upside down, it is estimated that Li Yiming Xi is just playing with her."

"Or else! She's just an idol, don't you know how many pounds and taels she has? ”

Similar words will only appear in a more radical and vicious form, and Zheng Xiujing, as a party concerned, can't even refute it, and public opinion will even affect F(x), which is what S.M company does not want to see.

But how to explain the exposed video?

Compared with the strong Li Yiming, Kim Jong-in's existence is far less disobedient.

Although EXO is very popular, it is only an idol group after all, and the status of the two sides will not be too different, and the two have been very good friends since they were trainees, and there is also a lot of cooperation between the two groups, and Kim Jong-in even participated in the promotion and shooting of the F(x) album.

Of course, it will cause turmoil in the fan circle, EXO is very popular, and F(x) is also a popular combination, but the impact is small compared to people of Li Yiming's level.

The lesser of two evils, this is what S.M intends.

As for the real facts and the feelings of the parties, in the face of the crisis, they are not within the scope of their care.

S.M doesn't care, and he doesn't want the masses to care, and Li Yiming is jealous, so he can only hope for Zheng Xiujing, so that she can temporarily drag Li Yiming back no matter what, no matter what.

In an instant, Li Yiming figured it all out.

"Okay, I see."

There was no response from the other side for a long time, and Zheng Xiujing's cowardly voice came after a while, "Oppa, I'm sorry." ”

It was pitiful, but it couldn't offset the anger in Li Yiming's heart, so his tone was somewhat cold, "Hmm......"

There is no "It's okay", Li Yiming hung up the phone.

The phone was still in his hand, and his eyes were a little dazed.

The feeling of being deceived is really uncomfortable......

The mood is very complicated, although I also know that Zheng Xiujing, as an idol who does not have much independent right to speak, was forced to say these words by the company.

But the other party's concealment still made him feel that it was not a taste.
