Chapter Fifty-Nine: Squeezing Him Away
Looking at this photo, it was as if he was being looked up and down by Bae Joo-hyun with a smile.
looked at her in the photo for two seconds, and the corners of Ji Jingyuan's mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and there was an inexplicable synchronization with Pei Zhuhyun on the screen.
The mood that had been a little gloomy and irritable suddenly became a lot more soothing.
Chi Jingyuan could feel the other party's care and comfort, not deliberately, and it seemed very natural.
Should I say it or not, Bae Joo-hyun's selfie with a scared face is really good-looking, her face is plain and fair, there are still sweaty reflections on both sides of her cheeks, her wide eyes are very smart, and there are still inquisitive and caring eyes.
After clicking Save, he lay on the bed and held up his mobile phone and quickly tapped back: "How did you look, what did you find?" β
Bae Joo-hyun replied quickly, and they may have finished practicing: "I noticed that your mood is a little better." β
"So confident in yourself?"
"Inside!"
Ji Jingyuan casually glanced at the two people on the bed next to him, sat up a little, and began to chat with Pei Zhuhyun: "It's already two o'clock, are you still practicing so late?" β
"Well, because the debut time is too early, and a lot of preparations have not been completed, so I have to be busy until late every day in the last few days...... But it's over today, and we're going back to rest after we tidy up. β
"Then go back early, this kind of routine is easy to get acne......" Ji Jingyuan smiled and pressed the phone screen: "By the way, I watched the jump video of "BeNatural" between you and Shiqi, and it is better than I imagined." β
"BeNatural" by Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Shi-ki has been uploaded to the Internet by SM when they collaborated on the 16th, not as a member of the new girl group, but as SMrookies.
Ji Jingyuan took a look at it the day before yesterday and felt good, the two of them unexpectedly digested this style very well, in the video, Bae Joo-hyun has long brown hair, an open waist and a semi-off-the-shoulder black top, and a half-leather pants on her legs, which really has a bit of that sexy taste.
The most important thing is that there is no embarrassing scene where Chi Jingyuan imagined, she sat on a chair and stretched her legs to dance, but her feet couldn't touch the ground.
"You've just got a pox!"
"What do you imagine it to be?"
Two text messages were sent in a row, and Ji Jingyuan could probably guess her current expression.
"Go back and rest early, if you don't sleep anymore, it's really acne, and I'm ready to sleep......"
Chi Jingyuan first replied, and then sent a message in the past:
"That's what you are."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ernie, who are you talking to?"
Jiang Shiqi, who came back from the bathroom, just entered the practice room, and saw Pei Zhuhyun sitting on the floor holding a mobile phone and smiling happily, and couldn't help but walk over curiously and bend over to look at her and ask.
"Hejingyuan, XO didn't have an accident today, let me ask how he is now."
Bae Joo-hyun casually switched the chat interface to the screensaver with a swipe of his hand, and naturally looked up and replied with a smile.
"Mo, he actually replied to you? I sent him a concerned text message in the afternoon, and he still hasn't replied to me......"
Jiang Shiqi's round eyes were very surprised when he heard this, and then he followed up with a nuisance mouth: "I thought he didn't come back because he was busy with things today, or because he was in a bad mood, cut ...... Ernie is still different. β
She understood as soon as she heard it, and glanced at Bae Joo-hyun, her tone a little sour.
"What's the difference, they just went back to the dormitory to get ready for bed when I sent the message, so I replied by the way."
Pei Zhuhyun blinked, softly denied and comforted Jiang Shiqi by the way, a smile on the corner of his mouth, stood up and stretched comfortably, and glanced around by the way when his hand was still in the air, urging: "Okay, I'm ready to go back, why haven't the other two come back yet, if I rest later, I may get acne......"
β¦β¦
In the evening, several agents had been in a meeting at the company and came back late, and the members were shouted by Lee Seung-hwan early the next morning to continue to rehearse the concert repertoire at the company.
To tell you the truth, the more you practice, the more bad the atmosphere becomes.
After everyone rested for a night, everyone's mood was relieved a lot, and the atmosphere was good at the beginning of the practice, and a few members could still laugh, but as time went by, no one smiled.
It's something that has been practiced countless times before, but now it needs to be done again because of Luhan alone, and the workload is still very heavy, and everyone is tired enough.
Especially yesterday, after luhan left, Xia Guo also posted two consecutive 'I'm home' blog posts on the scarf, which received widespread heated discussions and the support of many fans, so that many people like EXO who knew the news really felt panicked the more they thought about it.
He went back to filming happily, and we are here to rehearse half tired to make up for his mistakes.
Seeing that the members' movements were getting harder and harder, and everyone was already very tired, the dance teacher stopped them and announced that they were resting, and a few heavy gasps sounded to break some of the atmosphere that was getting thicker and thicker just now.
Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to walk over and took a drink from the refrigerator and handed out a bottle to a few people next to him one by one, and after sending it, he sat next to him and was just about to drink two sips of water, took out his mobile phone to see the reaction outside today, a message suddenly came over, he took a look at it, wiped the sweat, put the drink aside and walked out from the side.
As soon as he walked out of the practice room and looked to the right, he saw Kim Taeyeon smiling and waving to him quickly, and Ji Kyung-won also smiled and walked over quickly.
"Why did Nuna come to the company today, isn't Girls' Generation on vacation?"
Walking up to the front and gently slapping her, Chi Jingyuan felt a little tired and leaned against the wall next to him, looked at her lazily and asked.
Before, Ji Kyung-won and Taeyeon and Sunny chatted with them.,Girls' Generation ended the last concert of the day tour on July 13th.,After that, the company took a holiday.,If you have a resource, you run the itinerary.,If you don't have it, you just rest.γ
"I'm here to see you, there's something so big going on with you XO...... I didn't reply to the message, didn't you feel moved that Nuna cared so much about you? β
Kim Taeyeon had a lot of makeup, her hair was dyed back black and tied in a ponytail behind her head, white short-sleeved denim shorts and board shoes looked very casual, and she looked up at Ji Jingyuan with her eyes propped up, although she was not tall, she was quite imposing.
But after a few glances, she broke her own work, covered her mouth and smiled twice, and then waved her hand: "Actually, we TTS came to the company for a meeting today, thinking that you should also come to the company to have a look." β
"How? Is it a big impact? β
Sighing, Chi Jingyuan didn't hide it, and nodded: "It's big, it's less than a week before the next concert, and I don't know how busy I will be when I will be busy just by rehearsing the dance......"
"As for how many of our fans have gone, I don't know how many of them have left, but I haven't watched it because I thought it would affect my mood."
"Alas, there is no way to do this kind of thing, the idol group is like this, although this situation did not occur when we were young, but I have seen a lot of it in the past few years since my debut......"
Taeyeon sighed with emotion as a senior who had experienced the wind and rain, stood on tiptoe and patted Ji Jingyuan's shoulder to comfort her, and took the initiative to invite: "If you are in a bad mood, do you want to drink some wine at night?" β
"Still drinking? Am I drinking you again? I couldn't help but roll my eyes, Ji Jingyuan glanced at Kim Taeyeon, who was laughing out loud, and after thinking about it, he refused: "Forget it these days, we should have to practice until one or two o'clock in the morning every day recently, let's go a few days." β
"Yes."
Kim Taeyeon nodded, then grinned and raised her right hand: "Call!" β
laughed, and Chi Jingyuan also stretched out his right hand and bumped into her:
βcallγβ
β¦β¦β¦
There are many friends who care about him, and the members of EXO do not express any opinions under the company's constraints, and hide in the practice room to rehearse as if they are isolated from the world.
But Luhan's withdrawal from the team didn't stop them because of their silence.
On the contrary, with the passage of time, the impact of this matter has been spreading rapidly, whether it is in the peninsula or in the Xia Kingdom, the Internet and fans are privately arguing.
Especially this time, it was a big blow to all EXO fans.
"I've taken off my powder, and I won't be powdered in the future."
"Why?"
"I'm a group fan, the only twelve, can I still be called EXO without one person?"
Similar conversations and thoughts have appeared among countless XO fans.
For many fans, any member withdrawing, regardless of whether the popularity is high or low, will cause irreparable damage to the team, because from the moment he withdraws, the original integrated group will no longer be complete, which will make it difficult for fans to self-control a 'sense of incompleteness'.
This feeling greatly affects the enthusiasm and perception of the group.
Like TVXQ in the past, after the separation, the huge fan base was immediately divided into several factions such as only 5, only 2, and only 3, and they were very hostile to each other, and they even rejected the other side more than black fans.
And now after the EXO withdrawal incident, the fan base was split instantly, and naturally divided into different factions, those who support luhan, those who are enemies of luhan, even if the former are small in comparison, but they still quarrel with each other non-stop, and fans quit every day because of sadness and disappointment.
At the same time, from the second day of the incident, many people with different intentions began to try to stir up troubled waters on the Internet, posting so-called secrets that were very true or false.
Under the guidance of some well-intentioned people, black water was unconsciously poured on Chi Jingyuan, and several posts in several forums with considerable traffic that claimed to be the real revelations of insiders were very hot.
"In-depth Analysis of the Reasons for Luhan's Withdrawal from the Group, Secret Revelations from Insiders"
"Any idea why Luhan left? In fact, he has made it very clear in the indictment, because SM cannot provide a development plan, what does it mean is very simple, the company cannot give him enough resources. β
"EXO is so popular, luhan is also very popular, why can't a company as big as SM give him the resources he wants? It's very simple, all the best resources are picked up by the royal family in the team first, and the remaining second-class resources naturally make him unsatisfied. β
"And who is this royal family? In fact, it is obvious that it is EXO's popular king Yuan. β
"Actually, I like Yuan a lot, he does play a very important role in the team, especially the song "Roaring Filial Piety" is very important, without that song EXO would not be as popular as it is today."
"Several of his self-composed songs in this mini two are also very good, coupled with his own and excellent personal qualities, such as the title of 'boy group Shenyan' that has already been sealed in the fan circle, etc., it is well deserved to have a fault line in the popularity of EXO, which is close to the top group, at least many fans of other groups around me, even if they don't like XO, it is difficult to have a bad feeling for Yuan, and the popularity of passers-by is really good."
"But he can be so popular, and it has a lot to do with the lot of personal information he has received, especially the two TV series "Please Answer" and "The Inheritors" directly made his coffee position soar by a few levels, and there is an obvious gap with ordinary idols, and passers-by will not think he is just an ordinary idol when they look at him."
"But his influence on the team is not all positive, at least the good resources are provided to him first, and the rest he doesn't want is for other members."
"How could he receive such a good resource?"
"According to SM insiders, Chi Jingyuan's treatment within SM is very unusual, not only in EXO, but in the entire company, he is a royal family in the royal family, even if the highest level of the company sees him, he is very kind and polite, that issue of "Golden Fishery" XO members described the sitcom where Li Xiuman greeted him, you don't think it's a joke, right? I'm telling you absolutely no exaggeration, that's what happened. β
"As for why he is so 'emperor'...... So far, EXO has had many members' family backgrounds dug up by fans, but Yuan's background has not been known so far, and even the composition of the family is a secret, only that he doesn't seem to be short of money, I won't talk about the specifics here, if you are interested, you can take a look at the post I posted last time, "According to various materials and news, speculate on Yuan's true family background, and surprise your eyeballs". β
"So Luhan's departure has a lot to do with Yuan occupying the best resources."
"To put it mildly, Yuan squeezed Luhan away."
Several posts with similar wording and language appeared in major forums, directly detaining the big black pot of Luhan's withdrawal from the group on Chi Jingyuan's head.
The things they said were true and false, and there were many related pictures to prove it, so that many people who read it involuntarily had opinions about Chi Jingyuan in their hearts, and public opinion was inadvertently turned to a direction that was very unfavorable to Chi Jingyuan.
"I've always felt that Chi Jingyuan Huang is not good, the resources are so good every day, it is obvious that SM is eccentric."
"If it weren't for him, we Luhan Oba wouldn't have left at all, because I used to like him very much, and Yuan will be black all his life from now on!"
"You can see the way he paddled when he was on a variety show, but he didn't talk at all, he made it clear that he couldn't watch the variety show at all because he had too many personal resources, and his teammates didn't dare to have an opinion, tsk, the EXO team is really exciting."
Some passers-by who were guided without knowing the truth, and even some XO fans, luhan's fans had a feeling of sudden realization after watching it, and they left messages below.
But some people are black, and naturally there are people who protect them, and there are 100% of his fans below the black posts involving Chi Jingyuan who refute him below, and even some Yuan fans are furious after seeing these posts that distort the facts, and their emotional tone is very bad.
"Let go of your Xiba's fart, although I don't know the specific situation, Yuan's family conditions are really good, this is something that many old fans of EXO and Yuan know. What's the matter, if you have money in your family, you're royalty? Luhan wants to make more money and leave, who can stop him? Can this XXX be blamed on our side? β
"I laughed to death after reading it, I don't know how imbecile it is to make up such ridiculous black material, what about that SM, you SM to pick up the male protagonist of "The Inheritors"? See if people ignore you? Old fans know that Yuan's family is really good, and many resources are contacted by himself, and he doesn't occupy the company's resources at all. Joke about it. β
"Not only does he not have a backlog of teammates' resources, on the contrary, Yuan's presence has largely boosted the popularity and popularity of the EXO group."
"Idiot, without Yuan, EXO disbanded in the year of his debut, mentally retarded."
Ji Jingyuan has a huge number of fans, and he is very united and absolutely invincible, as long as it involves posts attacking him, he will be flocked to refute by Yuan fans everywhere, and many even rise to the point of abusive personal attacks.
It's just that the more they argue on the Internet, the more they attack each other, the more eye-catching they are, even if Yuan fans tell the facts and analyze them very clearly, but many people don't care about the truth or falsehood, just join in the fun, they will only believe what they want themselves to believe, conspiracy theories and tearing up This kind of affirmation is much more popular than a ball of harmony.
Under the guidance of this trend, Ji Jingyuan has received a lot of attacks on the Internet in the past few days, and some of the fans of Face EXO, as well as other members, are a little shaken and skeptical.
Even if they don't actually believe it, what if this can give XO, or the members of their own meals, a little more personal resources?
ββ¦β¦ I used to like him very much, and since then Yuan has been black all his life! β
Looking at this very aggressive message displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, frowned, she felt that the direction of public opinion on the Internet in the past two days was a little wrong, and she switched to the contact with her mobile phone and wanted to call Chi Jingyuan again, but she was a little hesitant.
The day before yesterday, Zhou Ziyu knew the news on the day Luhan ran away, and took the initiative to send a concerned text message to Chi Jingyuan, but the reply she had been waiting for was delayed, as if the other party hadn't seen it.
She also wanted to get this kind of thing happening to EXO, Ji Jingyuan would definitely be very busy and in a bad mood, so she was afraid of causing trouble to him, so she didn't continue to text the past and just waited silently, while watching the development of the situation on the Internet.
But in the past two days, there has been something wrong with public opinion on the Internet, I don't know when Luhan's run away and Chi Jingyuan were connected, especially today there are many people who post on the Internet to attack him, and many of the words are hard to hear, although Yuan fans will soon flock to the poster's scolding of the dog's blood, but Zhou Ziyu in his eyes is still very worried.
Fingers slid around the screen and hesitated for a while, she looked at her watch It was almost early in the morning, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally made up her mind, sneaked a glance at the other roommates in the same room, put on her shoes and walked out of the room to the toilet, pursed her lips and dialed Ji Jingyuan's phone.
"Your eyes, nose, and lips ......" The ringtone rang for a while and no one answered, and just when Zhou Ziyu was a little disappointed, the phone was suddenly connected.
"Hello?" A familiar voice came, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that it was Chi Jingyuan's voice, and at this time, the other party seemed to be a little panting, as if she had just finished exercising.
"Hey......" because some of her roommates were already asleep, even in the toilet she lowered her voice and answered.
After answering, she didn't seem to know what to do, and many of the words she had just thought about would somehow be forgotten in an instant.
After a short silence for "......", Chi Jingyuan's angry voice came from the phone: "Just feed it?" I'm waiting for your follow-up? What is the matter with calling me so late, you said Ziyu xi. β
"Uh......" Hearing this familiar tone, Zhou Ziyu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and she was dull for a moment before she spoke softly: "I just want to ask how you are now, something happened to EXO, and there is still ...... on the Internet in the past two days."
Before she could finish speaking, the phone was suddenly hung up by the other party.
Zhou Ziyu took the mobile phone in front of him and looked at the hung up phone a little stunned, his mouth opened slightly, thinking about whether he had just said something wrong, or something happened on the other side.
Just when she was a little dignified, Chi Jingyuan suddenly gave him a photo directly.
It is a selfie of the upper body, in the photo, Chi Jingyuan's white short sleeves, the wings of his nose and the sides of his cheeks are full of sweat, and his bangs are also wet and sticky to his forehead.
At this time, he deliberately frowned bitterly and made a sad look, but after Zhou Ziyu saw it, the corners of his mouth curled and he couldn't help laughing softly.
Because the expression of this bitter face was exactly the same as the selfie she sent to the other party some time ago, Ji Jingyuan was clearly impersonating her.
There is also the caption below the photo: I am like this now.
Before I could take a closer look, the other party's phone took the initiative to call again, and Zhou Ziyu hurriedly connected:
"See, I'm miserable now, just as miserable as you used to be." After connecting it, Chi Jingyuan deliberately had a miserable tone
"Hehe, I saw it, it's pretty miserable...... Zhou Ziyu laughed, she was originally quite worried about Chi Jingyuan's situation, but after seeing this funny selfie, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and her mood eased a lot.
After replying, she replied, "Are you still in the practice room at such a late hour?" β
"Well, I have to rehearse the songs and positions of the concert these days, and I have to be busy until two or three o'clock every day." Chi Jingyuan replied casually, and then took the initiative to ask, "Is calling so late to care about me?" Nothing else? β
"Hmm." Zhou Ziyu answered softly, paused for two seconds, and then talked about what he had seen in the past two days: "I saw a lot of people smearing you today and saying a lot of ugly things......"
"I thought you were in a hurry to call so late, and I also paused my practice......" Chi Jingyuan exhaled lightly, laughed and said with a little gasp...... So do you think the revelations on the Internet are true or false? β
Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but purse her lips and blinked her eyes a little happily when she heard the previous sentence, and after hearing the latter sentence, she blurted out without thinking about it: "It must be fake, then you still need to ask." β
"And what if I tell you they're telling the truth?" Ji Jingyuan's reply surprised her.
"Forehead ......"
This question made Zhou Ziyu a little stuck, but after thinking for two seconds for a short time, she quickly said in a firm tone: "Then you must have a reason......
"Young yell, don't help your relatives, Ziyu xi, I didn't see that you are like this......" Chi Jingyuan laughed on the phone, and his voice sounded a little cheerful.
He didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Thanks, just kidding, most of what is said on the Internet is fake, don't worry about it, I'm fine here, there's no problem, you can rest early, I'll go back to work soon." β
When Chi Jingyuan said goodbye and was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, did you use the mask today?" β
Zhou Ziyu, who had been smiling and was about to say goodbye, couldn't help but collapse instantly when he heard it, and asked angrily, "I use it every day...... What do you mean?"
"That's what you mean...... Hung up. β
The sound of 'all' ending the call came from the mobile phone, Zhou Ziyu looked at the screen and wrinkled his nose, snorted lightly and prepared to walk out of the bathroom.
But she had just taken a step and turned back, and only walked out briskly after pretending to rush into the water.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Chi Jingyuan stood in the corridor outside the practice room, the smile on his face gradually dissipated after he hung up the phone, looking at the shining mobile phone screen, his expression was flat and frowned.
