“……”

Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun looked at each other, one lying on the railing and the other standing next to him.

One had red eyes and an ugly face full of sadness, and the other smiled faintly and nodded lightly in greeting.

Ji Jingyuan's impression of Bae Joo-hyun is quite special, not very good, but not bad either.

However, the two didn't have much to do with each other, and Chi Jingyuan knew in his heart that the other party hated him.

It's a coincidence that the other party is obviously not very normal at this time and place, and he looks like he is in a bad mood, and his emotions are a little out of control and he wants to cry.

However, with the other party's senses for him, he definitely doesn't need to be comforted by a nasty person, Ji Jingyuan didn't think about accosting, just glanced at each other and then withdrew his gaze, nodded at the other party, and didn't see if she returned the courtesy, and took a step to prepare to bypass Bae Joo-hyun and leave.

It's just that Bae Joo-hyun, who would take the initiative to turn her eyes away and bow her head every time she looked at each other before, was different this time, she kept staring at Ji Jingyuan with red eyes.

Unlike Ji Jingyuan's slightly bland feeling about her, Bae Joo-hyun has admired the other party for a long time.

Ji Jingyuan's experience and past in the company, Bae Joo-hyun is naturally clear.

This also caused her to have a natural dislike for Ji Jingyuan. For a person like her, who has been practicing for several years and is getting older and living under huge debut pressure every day, this kind of relationship is too hateful to make a debut or something.

And in fact, Bae Joo-hyun and Ji Jingyuan also have a little similarity.

She is somewhat similar to Ji Kyung-won, when Bae Joo-hyun joined SM Company, the company was in the process of planning F(x)'s debut, and the selection of personnel had been completed, and the debut album was being recorded.

At that time, Bae Joo-hyun also fantasized that he could join it if he had the opportunity.

The result, of course, was a few days of daydreaming, which later became memories to laugh at.

Unexpectedly, the daydream that Bae Joo-hyun thought was real appeared, Ji Kyung-won had already finished recording in the air, and EXO made his debut directly after filming the MV, and replaced one of the members who confirmed his debut.

And Bae Joo-hyun, who once had such a beautiful and naïve dream, is still waiting for the opportunity, watching her get older day by day but there is no sign of her debut.

She looked at the relationship that she heard that she had never done a day of trainees, and her airborne debut became more and more popular, and she also filmed a TV series that became popular all over the peninsula.

In contrast, Bae Joo-hyun has a lot of resistance to Ji Jingyuan, and there are also some feelings that she can't explain.

Of course, the main thing is boredom, even to the extent that when I see him, I can't help but frown when I think of my own situation.

And this time, just when she was at her lowest mood and her emotions were about to get out of control, she had a positive encounter with Chi Jingyuan again, and an indescribable sense of grievance and dissatisfaction, as well as a faint inferiority complex, came to her heart.

All kinds of complicated and intense feelings come together, plus this time is very repressed and cannot be vented.

The pressure of her age, the ridicule and sour words of her peers, the lingering anxiety and uneasiness, and the Chi Jingyuan who made her hate and envy suddenly appeared in front of her, and all these things added up, and her emotions were directly out of control.

"Why...... You...... I ......"

After Bae Joo-hyun just said a broken word in a choked voice, the tears that had been gathering momentum just now suddenly welled up.

"Crying ............"

All her uncontrollable emotions turned into tears at this moment, making her cry uncontrollably in just a few seconds, hoarse and exhausted.

She didn't look at Chi Jingyuan again, but turned her face, hung her head, and covered her face with both hands, tears kept flowing out of her fingers, spilling drop by drop on the ground.

Ji Jingyuan was originally going to bypass the other party and leave directly, but he didn't expect that Bae Joo-hyun suddenly started crying before he took two steps, and he looked very sad, and it turned into a howling cry in less than two seconds, feeling that all the tears of several years were going to flow out this time.

Thanks to the fact that it is not too early, there are no pedestrians in the vicinity at this time, otherwise it may cause some inexplicable misunderstandings.

Even if he wasn't familiar with this girl, he could keenly hear from the crying how bad her mood was and how stressful she was.

“……”

Ji Jingyuan looked at Pei Zhuxun, who was crying bitterly, and couldn't help but stop, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, standing next to her and looking at her with his mouth pursed, the light and the figure of the other party were printed in the dark pupils, and he couldn't see the emotions contained in it.

Bae Joo-hyun was out of breath crying, her waist bent down, and her whole body arched. Suddenly, one of them did not stand firmly, and sat on the ground with a muffled sound.

She didn't care, she didn't seem to feel the pain, so she just sat there, curled up in front of her with her legs together, hugged her hands around her legs, buried her head in her thighs, and blocked her face to prevent the people next to her from seeing her crying expressions clearly.

The crying was intense, and the tears flowed non-stop, interspersed with whimpering and sniffing from time to time.

Ji Jingyuan, who was standing on the side, looked at Pei Zhuhyun condescendingly, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few seconds later, I saw him exhale lightly, and walked slowly to Pei Zhuhyun's side, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, just like her, sitting next to Pei Zhuhyun.

The distance is not very close, there is no fit. But it's not too far away, and you can feel the temperature coming from someone sitting next to you.

Bae Joo-hyun felt that someone was sitting next to her, but she ignored it, she was still immersed in her collapsed emotions and couldn't extricate herself.

Ji Jingyuan didn't talk to Pei Zhuhyun, nor did he make other moves, he just sat quietly next to him, holding his hands on his lap, silently listening to the cry coming from the side, looking at the bridge and river scenery with shining lights in the distance.

The lights on the opposite shore are connected together, and the red and conspicuous night lights form a whole, which looks full of mysterious and beautiful charm, especially under the bright lights around it, it seems to exude a dreamlike color at a glance.

The Shengshui Bridge in the distance is real and dreamy against the backdrop of the river, and the whole bridge is cast of steel, with countless lights, which makes it even more upright and magnificent between the clear water and green water.

But the bustle and splendor are far away, and they only have crying and silence here.

Gusts of cold wind blew across the river, setting off black ripples, blowing on the body and feeling extremely cold.

The two sat together like this, blowing a cool breeze, one of them could not cry, and the other listened to it but did not say a word.

For some reason, it looks quite harmonious.

I don't know how long it took, Bae Joo-hyun's cry gradually became quieter, and it was so small that it was inaudible, only the occasional choked sob.

The emotions of the collapse were vented a lot with the intense crying, and Bae Joo-hyun's emotions gradually recovered, and her mind became clearer.

She seemed to remember that Ji Jingyuan had been sitting beside her, and her body trembled slightly, not knowing whether to move a little farther away or stand up directly.

However, there was no follow-up after only a slight tremble, and Bae Joo-hyun still sat curled up in place, with his head buried in his arm and refused to come out.

Ji Jingyuan retracted his gaze and looked at Pei Zhuhyun next to him, seeing that she was no longer out of control just now, her state was obviously much better, and she shivered when the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but chuckle, as if he was chatting with a friend: "When you encounter pressure or difficulties, you still have to find a way to vent it, and there may be a lot of problems in your heart if you keep it stuffy." ”

Ji Jingyuan didn't call his name, and Bae Joo-hyun didn't respond, but both of them knew very well that they were communicating.

This is also the first conversation between the two.

"Alright, it's not too early."

Ji Jingyuan clapped his hands and stood up, and after moving his body for a while, he looked at Pei Zhuhyun, who was still lying motionless next to him, and said, "I didn't bring tissues, I don't know if you brought your own, if you don't bring it, wipe your clothes and wipe ......."

"Forget it."

Ji Jingyuan interrupted halfway through speaking, he thought about it and then took off his duck baseball cap and put it on Bae Joo-hyun's head: "I guess you don't want others to see your ugly face full of tears and snot, especially me, a nasty person." ”

"Borrow your hat, cover it first, so that you won't be seen when you go back, and remember to return it to me later."

When Ji Jingyuan spoke, Bae Joo-hyun kept it as he was, did not respond, and sat there with his legs crossed.

Only the occasional sniff indicates that she is listening.

"I don't think I'm going to get lost if I'm such a big person...... Okay, I'll go first, and I'll go back as soon as I'm in a better mood. ”

Ji Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders, and finally patted Bae Joo-hyun, who was wearing his hat, and didn't say much, turned around and left.

After the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away, Bae Joo-hyun lifted his head from his arms and looked in the direction where Ji Jingyuan left, where there was still a faint back.

At this time, Pei Zhuhyun's beautiful face, which was praised by many people in the company, was very abstract, and the light makeup painted before had already been spent, mixed into a mess on his face, with the tears and snot that had rubbed on his cheeks, he looked very embarrassed.

It's just that at this time, although her face is ugly, her face is much better-looking, and the gloom and frustration that had been lingering around her body have faded a lot.

She looked at Chi Jingyuan's direction and frowned as before, her expression was a little distracted.

After the other party's figure disappeared completely, she stood up, pressed down the hat on her head, and walked quickly in the direction of the dormitory with her head down.
