On the 23rd, the trainee showcase was held in the art hall of the art hall called 'rollinghit' in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu.

Because of the geographical location is very close, and the decoration and service in all aspects are very good, SM has a long-term cooperation with this venue, and many trainee shows have been held here.

This time it was held by SM and JYP, and there were a lot of performance stages for trainees on both sides, and the ordinary venue was already a little small, so this will be the art hall with the largest area and audience capacity.

Speaking of which, this time all two companies will join forces to hold a showcase, which has something to do with Chi Jingyuan.

It is because he and Pei Xiuzhi have reached an agreement to cooperate before, and in the process of negotiation and consultation, because JYP's intention to cooperate is very high and sincere, SM has taken a lot of benefits.

Since then, the bond between the two companies has deepened a lot, this time because JYP is preparing to launch a girl idol group next year, and SM has recently had the idea of a new girl group.

The show officially started at 7 p.m., and now it's 3 p.m., and the venue's two lounges are already bustling with people.

This women's lounge is very large, and the female trainees who participated are basically all concentrated here, in addition to them, there are a few male trainees, they are because the men's lounge next to it is overcrowded because of the small area, and they come to take a temporary rest.

There was a row of dressers and chairs against the wall in front of the lounge, which was already full of people receiving DY's makeup.

On the left side, there are a lot of chairs and sofas, which are already full of people, these are the trainees who have no stage performance today, and come to see and feel the atmosphere with the company's seniors.

The people in the room were all sitting in groups, chatting quietly.

The trainees of the two companies have already greeted each other, although there is not much communication with each other because they are not familiar, but the atmosphere of getting along is quite harmonious.

Originally, the peninsula music industry was very small, and the buildings of SM and JYP were still very close to each other, and many trainees knew each other in private, and many of them even used to be from the same school, and most of them were peers, so there was no barrier.

And on the other hand, trainees from different companies do not have direct competition due to their debut, and they do not have their own people's congresses of the same company in conflict of interest with each other, and some people like to make friends with people from other companies.

"Lena's your turn."

"Here we are."

Lin Nalian, who had just finished styling, stood up from the mirror and shouted to the friend next to her, then gave way to a small sofa not far away.

Yu Dingyan and Park Zhixiao, who were sitting on the sofa, moved to both sides at the same time, giving way to the gap in the middle, Lin Nalian came over and sat down, stretched out comfortably.

The three of them are all members of JYP's new girl idol group 6mix, and they have a good relationship among many trainees, and they are a relatively well-known small group in JYP.

"Ernie, if our stage is obviously not as good as SM's side this time, we won't be scolded when we go back, right?"

Yu Dingyan looked at Lin Nalian, who had finished putting on makeup, applauded to say that she looked good, and then asked with some concern.

"I'm definitely going to be scolded, although I didn't say it explicitly, but the company must have the intention of trying each other, we are still preparing to debut in the girl group, if the trainees can't compare, it will be miserable if you lose ugly."

Park Ji-hyo patted his chest, and his tone was firm.

The two of them have been chatting here for a long time after putting on makeup, and they are a little nervous about the evening showcase, after all, SM people are watching below.

"By the way, Nalianoni, is there anyone you know over there?"

After chatting for a while, Yu Dingyan asked.

"Of course."

Lin Nalian glanced to the side, and just saw Jiang Shiqi, who was sitting on the sofa a few meters away from them, also looked over at the same time, and after the two of them collided their eyes, they both shook their hands with a smile, and then withdrew their gaze.

"Of course, acquaintance is acquaintance, but not very familiar...... YG has a few relatives over there that I know better. ”

Lin Nalian glanced around casually and replied.

"Then you're much better than me, I don't know anyone......"

…………

At this time, Zhou Ziyu and Kong Xue, who were sitting on the left side of the lounge, were also talking in a low voice.

Zhou Ziyu was wearing a dark blue long down jacket at this time, the corners of the clothes hung down to the knees, and the whole person was wrapped tightly, but because the indoor heating was turned on enough and a little hot, she opened the zipper to reveal the close-fitting crewneck inside.

He wore a white baseball cap on his head, the brim of which covered his face with little makeup and no powder, and his long straight black hair stretched out from the sides of the hat and fell over his shoulders.

What is a little eye-catching is that she has a cute pink elf printed in the middle of her hat, and those who know it can tell at a glance that it is from the classic anime "Pokémon".

The two of them did not have a stage performance today, and at this time, they sat on the small sofa and looked at the seniors who were nervously putting on makeup, and the seniors who had just finished rehearsal and came back to gasp and rest, with a lot of envy in their eyes.

Being a trainee is to make your debut, to be on the stage and to show yourself in front of everyone, so it is very tempting for every trainee to have your own stage performance in the showcase.

It's a pity that Zhou Ziyu has been practicing for less than a year, and until now, he has not been able to speak Korean at a good level, and I don't know when and what month I have been able to appear on this kind of showcase.

She can only come to play soy sauce now, feel the atmosphere, and act as an audience and applause when the official performance officially begins.

Speaking from the heart, although she understands this arrangement very well, Zhou Ziyu is quite unwilling in her heart.

In fact, it's not just her, everyone who can't play is like this.

"I feel like these seniors look so energetic today......"

Kong Xue observed for a long time, sighed and sighed: "If only we could play, I really want DY to do a look and go to the rehearsal." “

“…………”

Zhou Ziyu pouted lightly when he heard this, and glanced at the trainees in the distance with his big eyes, and whispered: "I want to too." ”

"It's a pity that I can only wait for the next opportunity."

Kong Xue shook her head helplessly, sorted out her emotions, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Zhou Ziyu: "By the way, Ziyu, I asked you last time, you haven't said it, where did you buy this hat?" ”

"The fat man on your hat is so cute, and the workmanship is also very good, I also like "Pokémon", and I want to buy one like you, but I looked for it and it seems that there is no hat of the same style as you on the market."

Talking about this, Kong Xue stared at Zhou Ziyu's hat with some covetousness for a long time, and kept staring at Zhou Ziyu a little awkwardly, and couldn't help but reach out and tighten his hat.

"This is...... A friend gave it to me, and I don't know where he bought it. After thinking about it, Zhou Ziyu replied cautiously.

"Sent? Well, then there is no way, if you have a chance next time, help me ask...... This friend of yours really knows how to choose, I feel that this hat suits you very well, don't you think you are a little similar to Fat Ding? ”

After pursing her lips helplessly, Kong Xue looked at each other with some envy.

"Hehe......" Zhou Ziyu laughed a little smug after hearing it, and touched the brim of his hat: "I also like this pattern, it's cute, right?" ”

"It's so cute."

Kong Xue nodded in approval, reluctantly withdrew her gaze from her hat, and then looked at the SM trainees sitting in the distance:

"There are quite a lot of people coming here today, I don't know if there is any from our country, I really want to get to know it."

"But it's SM, I feel that the trainees over there are very beautiful, especially the girl over there, Ziyu, have you seen it? It's the one sitting on the couch playing with her phone, wow, she really looks good. ”

Following Kong Xue's gaze, Zhou Ziyu also looked over and nodded lightly: "It's very good-looking." ”

In fact, when she first met before, she found out that the senior's face was very conspicuous even among the outstanding trainees.

"But Ziyu, you're also very good-looking...... It's just that the skin is a little darker. Kong Xue turned her head to look at her, her expression was very serious.

"You...... You're very locomotive! The front was quite happy, and the latter sentence directly made Zhou Ziyu wrinkle and slapped her lightly.

"Hahaha, that's what it was......... Eh, you see that beautiful female trainee ran out, what is she going to do? ”

Kong Xue dodged with a smile, and then the afterglow suddenly swept to the person they had been observing for a long time got up from the sofa and left the lounge quickly, not knowing where to go.

"What do you care about other people, and besides, I'm not going to be dark!"

…………

"Victory, it's your turn."

"It's coming."

Originally, chatting with Jiang Shiqi and talking about Tiansun Shengwan was called to do styling, and only Pei Zhuhyun and Jiang Shiqi were left in this small group sitting on the sofa.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't talk much, after putting on makeup, he wrapped himself in a coat and stuffed himself on the sofa, holding the mobile phone in his hand and not playing, just holding it all the time, unlocking it from time to time, opening a glance, and then locking it.

"Isn't he here yet?" Jiang Shiqi asked after seeing it, and after seeing Bae Joo-hyun shaking his head, he continued: "It's normal, EXO is very busy, and it's not surprising that the performance starts late." It's good that Jing Yuan can take the time to come over,"

Jiang Shiqi was not so anxious, of course she was happy that Chi Jingyuan could come, after all, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and it was completely understandable that she was late or couldn't come, just listening to the rumors, she felt that the exo itinerary was really a bit devilish.

She glanced around a little boredly, and just met Lin Nalian, who she had known before, and said hello with a smile.

"Ernie, a few people over there are the new girl group that JYP said in the announcement a few days ago."

After retracting her gaze, Jiang Shiqi couldn't help but look over again, gently pushed Pei Zhuhyun, and took a breath of envy: "I'm sure I can make my debut, it's good." ”

In November, JYPRP and JYPE merged to form the new JYP, and a month after the merger, an announcement was issued, announcing that 'JYP's most beautiful six-member group in history, the girl group 6MIX, will be released as soon as April 2014.

The news that JYP, which has always been famous for cultivating women's groups, is about to launch a new girl group has naturally attracted a lot of attention, and Jiang Shiqi and they naturally know that they are very yearning for Lin Nalian's 6 people's pre-debut identity.

And Pei Zhuhyun also raised his eyes when he heard this, and seemed to think of himself again, and his expression was a little complicated.

Suddenly, her mobile phone screen glowed and vibrated at the same time, Bae Zhuhyun was startled and quickly opened it and looked over, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said at the same time: "It's here." “

"Is Jingyuan here?"

"Inside, he said he was at the door of the stadium right now."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, then quickly put on the coat wrapped around his body, leaving a sentence of "I'll pick him up" and stood up and walked out with a short leg.

"Really, what are you doing in such a hurry......"

Jiang Shiqi looked at Pei Zhuhyun's back and couldn't help but pout.

However, when she heard that Chi Jingyuan had come in advance, she was actually quite happy, and she couldn't help but cross her legs, waiting while swiping her mobile phone, and humming softly on her lips.

…………

Ji Kyung-won got out of the car and followed Park Jae-hyun to say goodbye, agreeing that he would come to pick him up when it was over.

Looking at the scattered snowflakes falling from the sky, he exhaled softly, who had already put on a mask.

I went to the office early this morning, and now I practiced with the members for a few hours, and then he went separately to run his personal itinerary, until he had just finished shooting a pictorial and giving an interview before coming here.

I went back and changed my clothes, took off my makeup, and rushed over.

Originally, there was a shooting case for an advertisement, but it was pushed to the early hours of the morning by Ji Jingyuan.

Chi Jingyuan, who is tall and long-legged, just got off the station and stood at the door of the venue, and it didn't take long for him to attract the attention of nearby passers-by, and many people's eyes frequently looked here.

Even though he was wearing a hat and a mask, the whole person was standing there, whether it was temperament or that feeling, he was obviously distancing himself from others.

In the middle of the hat is a robot cat wearing a bamboo dragonfly that is playfully sticking out its tongue, and the top is a camel-colored knitted turtleneck sweater with an unzipped white jacket. This coat is a series with a Pikachu's lightning tail logo emblazoned on the chest.

Below is gray warm slacks and sneakers with yellow background and black edges, the overall match is a light light color, although it does not look strong impact at a glance, but the comfortable outfit and personal outstanding temperament and figure make people can't take their eyes off.

At the same time, the blue fat man with his tongue stuck out on the hat and the light-colored clothes matched each other and there was a hilarious sense of contrast.

Ji Jingyuan didn't stop at the door and walked in directly, sat on the sofa in the hall, took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, and sent a message out, and after a while, he saw Bae Joo-hyun trotting over.

Seeing Ji Jingyuan's eyes looking at him, Pei Zhuxun smiled and beckoned from a distance of more than ten meters, and sped up his speed and ran to stand in front of him.

"Joo Hyun Xi." Ji Jingyuan looked at him and blinked.

"Jing Yuan xi!" Bae Joo-hyun also winked at her.

The two glanced at each other and laughed at the same time, and Bae Joo-hyun covered his mouth and looked very bright.

Looking at Pei Zhuhyun, who was close at hand, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

Bae Joo-hyun had already finished styling at this time, her slightly curly hair was tied in a ponytail and hung behind her head, and the tips of her hair came out mischievously, hanging down in front of her shoulders to the position of her collarbone.

She was wearing a light-colored stage outfit like a cheerleading uniform, and a thick coat that was one size bigger than her, which was warm at first glance, but also a little funny.

The facial features look very three-dimensional under the background of makeup, the eyes are flashing, the lips with lipstick are very crystalline, and the delicate makeup makes her face seem to be glowing.

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun looked a little amazing to Ji Jingyuan, except that he felt that the other party's eye makeup was not very suitable.

Of course, this is true just by looking at the face.

"It's beautiful."

He praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Other people's sincere compliments always make people feel good, not to mention what Ji Jingyuan said, hearing this, Pei Zhuxun smiled very happily, brushed his hair and said briskly: "Let's go, I'll take you in, go backstage and sit for a while, Shiqi and the others are also there." ”

"Inside, thank you so much, senior, I haven't been here yet, and I guess I'm going to get lost without your guidance."

Chi Jingyuan stood up and followed her, and the two walked side by side in less than two steps.

"The company often holds trainee shows here, and you, the airborne, have never been here."

Bae Joo-hyun turned his head sideways to look at him, and said angrily. ，

Since the two of them have known each other and become familiar with each other, she can already treat Chi Jingyuan's airborne attributes very naturally.

Seeing Ji Jingyuan shrug his shoulders and look like 'I am airborne, I am glorious', Pei Zhuhyun glanced at him with disgust, quietly straightened his waist and neck, pulled his height up by two centimeters, and then a smile appeared on his face again, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Does today's makeup look really good?" ”

Whether it's good or not, she actually knows it very well, she just wants to hear it again.

"Inside, it's beautiful."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, looked at her face as he walked, and commented seriously: "It's really suitable for you, and you can show your facial features very well, but I don't think this all-inclusive eye makeup is not very suitable for you." ”

"Is eye makeup ......?"

When Bae Joo-hyun heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the dark screen: "DY said that this is the most popular eye makeup in recent years, and everyone else basically paints it like this." ”

"I don't know about the others, but if you're going to do it, I feel like this makeup will cover up some of the original agility of your eyes."

"Is it really smart? Teachers say I have rigid eyes......"

Bae Joo-hyun first looked at his eyes on the phone screen, and then glanced at Ji Jingyuan with a smile: "Jingyuan Xi is really good at complimenting people." ”

"Maybe that's not a boast?"

Ji Jingyuan tilted his head and glanced at her, and the two couldn't help laughing together.

After chatting a few words, the two arrived at the door of the lounge, gently pushed open the hidden door, and Bae Joo-hyun walked in with Ji Jingyuan.

The corridor outside the door was a little deserted, but as soon as he entered Chi Jingyuan, he felt a wave of heat and hustle and bustle, and this door seemed to be separated by two worlds.

There are really a lot of people in the lounge.,There are dozens of male and female trainees alone.,Plus the styling dy.,And the staff who sit in the corner I don't know which company.,The lounge with a large area is full.。

After entering the door, Chi Jingyuan glanced at it roughly, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, because as soon as he walked in, he saw Jiang Shiqi standing there jumping and waving at him.

…………

"Ziyu, that SM beautiful trainee is back, why did you follow someone later, it turned out to pick up someone, it's strange that the trainees didn't all come together, and they brought a mask...... Wait, this person sounds so familiar to me......"

Kong Xue has always been very concerned about Pei Zhuhyun, she thinks that this senior's face is really good-looking, and a girl feels quite eye-catching when she looks at it.

Seeing Pei Zhuhyun suddenly run out just now, Kong Xue was a little curious, and when she saw her come back, her attention immediately shifted, and soon her eyes were fixed on Ji Jingyuan's body.

Although she is a boy group fraternity, she still pours more enthusiasm into the hottest exo at the moment, even if she is wearing a mask, she quickly recognizes Chi Jingyuan, but she can't believe it.

"Ziyu ......"

Kong Xue lightly bumped Zhou Ziyu with her elbow, pointed over there and said with some hesitation: "Do you see the boy wearing a mask, does it look like an exo yuan?" ”

“…………”

Originally, Zhou Ziyu didn't care much about her beautiful predecessors, but after hearing Kong Xue's words, her eyes quickly glanced over, locked on Chi Jingyuan, and after looking at it for a few seconds, her bright and attentive eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked over there in a daze.

…………

"Jingyuan!"

As soon as Bae Zhuhyun and Ji Jingyuan entered the door, Jiang Shiqi saw it, and after the two walked in, she squinted and greeted happily.

After Chi Jingyuan approached, he also narrowed his smiling eyes, and happily took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and shake it, and the two of them smiled and slapped their hands hard.

"Why did you come so early? I thought you'd have to wait until after the opening. ”

"I came here after a trip, I remember that the show seemed to start at 7 o'clock, right?"

As he spoke, Chi Jingyuan took off his mask, they were all trainees of the company, and there was no need to cover up like outside.

Taking off the mask, she felt that her breathing was much better, looked Jiang Shiqi up and down, and said in surprise, "How do I feel that you have grown a little taller?" Is it my delusion? ”

"Hey, you've found out! The last time I measured my height, I found that I had grown a little bit...... Does it seem obvious? ”

Jiang Shiqi's cheeks were bulging with a smile, and she looked very funny.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't speak, and kept smiling to indicate that he would not participate in the topic.

The three of them sat on the sofa, Ji Jingyuan sat on the left side of the sofa, put the shoulder bag he was carrying in the middle, and took the initiative to separate a certain social distance from Bae Joo-hyun in the middle.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but I think it's quite obvious to meet again, and I may not be able to see it when I get along every day......"

Chi Jingyuan nodded, then glanced around, and asked suspiciously, "What about the victory?" Didn't she come today......"

"Is it XO's Yuan senior? Ah jinjia, it's really yuan! ”

“omo……”

"Senior, Anihassai."

"Senior, Anihassaiyo ......"

Ji Jingyuan was interrupted before he finished speaking, which was more eye-catching in itself, and after taking off his mask, the SM trainees sitting on the sofa next to him recognized him at a glance, and they all showed surprise, and looked at him several times in disbelief, and after confirming that it was him, he quickly got up and came over and bowed continuously.

Several of them are girls, and each of them bows very standardly, and their eyes are a little shiny when they look at him, and they all have the feeling that fans are seeing idols.

"Ne, Anihassai."

Chi Jingyuan, who was interrupted, saw a few trainees who suddenly came over, and the casual smile when talking to Jiang Shiqi immediately converged, and the business smile hung on his face, and he nodded at them and returned the salute.

Speaking of the time to enter SM, in fact, most of the trainees are earlier than Ji Jingyuan, but the generation of the entertainment industry is still defined by the time of debut.

In the past, Ji Jingyuan's reputation among trainees was not very good because of his airborne debut, but as time gradually passed, especially after EXO and "Roar" exploded, his image and reputation have already been super reversed, and he has become the focus of many people's discussion and reverence.

Discussing the company's predecessor group is a favorite topic for many trainees in their private leisure time, and EXO and Yuan are the two most frequently mentioned names.

The trainees of the nearby SM company also found out about Chi Jingyuan's arrival, and they all rushed over to salute and greet with shocked faces, and the people who flocked to the city and surrounded them made Chi Jingyuan a little big.

If the debut artist and the trainee were not very good friends before, there was a very clear and insurmountable boundary in the middle, so although it was a company, many people had actually never seen Chi Jingyuan in reality.

What's more, Ji Jingyuan is also the leading actor of the hit drama, and the identity of the popular actor has also opened a significant gap between him and ordinary idols.

Seeing this EXO predecessor so closely at this time, they all instantly felt the sense of superiority revealed by the contrast and the unforgettable and impressive appearance and temperament.

Especially after being in the same frame with a few male trainees who came to salute standing next to them, many people found that the gap was indescribable.

With the appearance that Chi Jingyuan puts on EXO, and even in the entire peninsula entertainment circle, few people can beat it, even if there is no makeup now, it is really a bit of a bully compared to them......

Soon, the excitement here also attracted people from JYP's side, including Lin Nalian and Yu Dingyan, the neon small group next to them, etc., and all the attention was focused on Chi Jingyuan at this time.

They didn't come to the house, they just politely stood up and saluted, and then sat down, but their eyes remained fixed on that side and did not move.

"Yuan, exo's Yuan."

"No, why did he come here, to watch the show?"

"I don't know, but there are very few seniors who make their debut to see the trainee showcase......"

"Dingyan, don't you know him? Go say hi. ”

"I want to go too...... But that's when I, Ernie, knew him, and I didn't. ”

"But it's really handsome, it's still without makeup...... Sure enough, as the TV says, the real person is much better than the camera. ”

"I'd like to get to know ......"

“………”

In an instant, Chi Jingyuan became the focus of discussion in the entire lounge, and the trainees in twos and threes were looking at this side with their eyes, while lowering their voices to discuss, and the gathered voices immediately became noisy.

"Don't huddle around here, go to your seats."

Chi Jingyuan saw that this group of SM trainees had no tendency to go around here, and took the initiative to wave his hand to signal them to disperse.

He came to complete the agreement with Bae Joo-hyun to watch them perform, and by the way, he met with friends he hadn't seen for a long time, and he didn't come to shake his majesty in front of this group of trainees.

He had no interest in the latter.

"Your popularity is really high, I feel like we're all looking at each other differently."

After seeing the people around him disperse, his attention was still on this side, and Bae Joo-hyun, who was a little uncomfortable being surrounded just now, exhaled and said in a complicated tone.

"Even if I'm not here, with your predecessor's face, isn't it a normal time to be looked at differently?"

Ji Jingyuan looked at her and praised her as a matter of course, making Bae Joo-hyun blink and pat him with a smile.

"Jingyuan, why are you called Zhu Hyun Oni senior?" Jiang Shiqi looked at the two of them separately and asked.

"It's a good idea...... By the way, what about you just now, what about the victory? Chi Jingyuan explained casually, and then looked around to find Sun Shengwan's figure.

"It's her turn to do the styling, put on makeup over there, I'll take you there......"

Jiang Shiqi pointed in the direction of the dressing table over there, seven or eight meters away from them, but very close to the place where the JYP trainees were resting.

At this time, the row of dressing tables was already full of people, and the dys were seriously and nervously putting on their makeup, although the fluctuation just now also affected them, but the work in their hands did not stop.

"Let's go and see, I haven't seen her in a long time."

Ji Jingyuan nodded, then stood up and followed Jiang Shiqi over, and Pei Zhuhyun also dropped out and followed closely behind.

After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan arrived in front of the mirror of the dressing table, looked at the rather familiar face in the mirror, and shouted in surprise:

"Are you Sun Shengwan?"

(
