"Okay, there should be no problem with tomorrow's concert, everyone has worked hard."

After more than a busy day, when the practice was finally finished on the morning of the 26th, the room manager and the dance teacher announced that the rehearsal of the EXO concert repertoire was almost complete.

As for the rest of the songs, don't be in a hurry, wait until you come back from the performance and take your time, after all, you can't use it for the time being, and some work such as redividing parts and re-recording is not very important now.

"Ah, it's finally done."

"This kind of work feels much more tiring than releasing a new album."

"Nonsense, this is what we've practiced countless times before, and we'll be tired if we do it again......"

After hearing this, the members all breathed a sigh of relief and whispered a few words of emotion.

Tao and Y are also relaxed for a while, the two of them have spoken very little in the past few days, and they have been gritting their teeth and practicing with the members while holding things in their hearts.

The practice in the dark in the past few days has also made all the members a little overwhelmed, and now they can finally finish and take a little rest.

"Good work." Everyone saluted and thanked the dance teachers, and after a few words of chat, they disbanded and prepared to go out to dinner together.

Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone rang at this time, he looked down and found that it was Pei Xiuzhi's phone, and after thinking for a while, he walked to the window and connected it.

"Jingyuan, let's go over to that store first, you come quickly." Jin Junmian looked back at Ji Jingyuan's movements and shouted at him.

Ji Jingyuan turned his head and made an 'ok' gesture, watched the members go out, and then continued to talk on the phone, talked for a while, and hung up after making an appointment.

A few days ago, Pei Xiuzhi called him once, but at that time, Ji Jingyuan was so busy that he couldn't spare time.

But I'm free today.

After cleaning up, Ji Jingyuan put on his hat and bag, walked out of the practice room, closed the door, and walked towards the elevator.

It's just that before he could take two steps, five people came to him.

Ji Jingyuan's eyes swept over and found that it happened to be the four people of Bae Joo-hyun who were planned by the new girl group, and the one who followed behind was a short woman about thirty years old who was slightly chubby and wore glasses.

"Jingyuan." As soon as they saw him, Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan waved happily and trotted over several meters apart.

Bae Joo-hyun, who was walking behind him and bowed his head slightly, also looked over, blinked his eyes and smiled and quickened his pace.

"Just finished eating?" Ji Jingyuan asked, while punching Sun Shengwan, who was the fastest runner, into a fist, and she couldn't stop shaking her hands and feet and shouting pain with a wrinkled face.

"Ne, I just went to dinner with Hui Yingoni and came back." Jiang Shiqi nodded, turned to look at the woman at the end.

Ji Jingyuan has seen this middle-aged woman in the company a few times, her name is Jeon Hye-young, and she remembers that she should be from the SM artist management department, and it seems that she is now one of the agents of the new girl group.

"Jingyuan, ah......" Jeon Hye-young came over and said hello to Ji Jingyuan with a smile, with the same enthusiasm as before, Park Xiurong next to him was a little stunned, feeling that this agent, who had been managing them very strictly, seemed to have suddenly changed as if he had suddenly changed a person.

"Director Jeon Hye-young." Ji Jingyuan also smiled and gently returned the salute, and at the same time glanced at Pei Zhuxun, who was looking at him next to him.

"Oops, last time I said it's okay to call Nuna." Quan Huiying pretended to complain and waved her hand, then glanced to the side and nodded with a smile: "I heard that Shiqi and you have a very good relationship before, so let's talk casually for a while if we meet so coincidentally today, I'll wait for you in the practice room." ”

Saying that, she didn't stop, nodded at Chi Jingyuan, and then left directly and walked towards the practice room.

A very good broker. Chi Jingyuan looked at her figure and gave an impression evaluation.

"Hey, it's you."

Sun Sheng's hand didn't hurt anymore after finishing this, he frowned and opened his mouth to look at the back of Quan Huiying leaving, and after disappearing completely, he looked at Chi Jingyuan and smacked his lips: "Huiying Oni is usually strict with us, and he has to take care of everything, that is, he is a little looser when he talks to Zhu Hyun Oni...... I didn't expect you to look like this, tsk. ”

"It's the same as the first time you saw it, you forgot about it before Director Li Meizhu?" Ji Jingyuan glanced at her, Sun Shengwan's rich expression always made him feel very interesting, very frank and not pretentious.

"Oh, I remember, indeed, hahaha." Sun Shengwan, who remembered the original incident, laughed and sighed: "It is worthy of being a famous royal family of the company......"

"Miane." Halfway through speaking, she suddenly stopped and covered her mouth with her hands, as if she wanted to seal her mouth, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan with an apologetic expression.

In the past two days, many black fans on the Internet have been in the fountain pool Jingyuan is royal family, and all kinds of comments and speeches are also difficult to listen to, which makes Sun Shengwan, who has read these messages, feel that he has said the wrong thing.

"It's fine, other aspects may be made up, but they are not wrong on this point, right?" Ji Jingyuan laughed and shrugged his shoulders at her, as if he was not affected by the outside world at all.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan like this, Sun Shengwan was relieved, blinked and made a strange appearance.

Ji Jingyuan looked at Jiang Shiqi and Pei Zhuhyun: "The time has been determined?" ”

The debut song is a digital single, which will be officially debuted on "Music Bank" on August 1st and perform on the first stage, and the MV and music source will be announced two days later. On the 27th of this month, the news was made public, and a teaser video was released. ”

Jiang Shiqi nodded and replied with a smile, when she said this, whether it was her, or Bae Joo-hyun, or Sun Shengwan or even Park Xiurong, their faces were full of joy, and the look of anticipation in their eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

Hearing that it was the release of a digital single, Ji Jingyuan knew in his heart, and as he expected, it was too late to prepare the album at this time.

He then asked, "What about the debut showcase, when is it?" ”

"Well, we didn't have a debut showcase...... Jiang Shiqi smiled wryly.

"Because the company didn't prepare for the debut a lot of time in advance, and we didn't promote it much before, we didn't have much fan base, so even if we held a showcase, it is estimated that not many people will come." Bae Joo-hyun took the words and explained, as if he was comforting themselves.

didn't debut at the showcase, Chi Jingyuan really didn't expect it, and suddenly felt that the company didn't attach much importance to them.

But what Bae Joo-hyun said also makes sense.

"By the way, we've moved into a new dormitory, which is in the ** district."

"That's pretty close to our XO dorm."

"And we're not going to be able to use our phones right away." Bae Joo-hyun thought of something, his expression was not very good-looking, and he added: "Hye Young Oni said that after his official debut, he will put away our mobile phones in the process of running the itinerary, and return them to us when he goes back at night." ”

"I don't know if it's going to be returned." Park so-young followed, his expression not believing it at all.

Chi Jingyuan nodded, quite understanding in his heart.

Before and after the debut, it is two completely different situations for many girls, and the trainee period only uses good practice to make her debut, and after becoming an idol, there are more things to face all of a sudden, all kinds of pressure or temptation will come from all directions, and people with poor ability to bear or self-control are easy to go crooked or have problems, and it is actually quite correct for the company to be strict at this time.

Hearing that Pei Zhuhyun was dissatisfied with receiving the phone in her voice, Ji Jingyuan looked at her with a smile and looked at her eyes for a few seconds, and then she took the initiative to deviate from her gaze and look away, her face slightly red and her mouth curled.

Chi Jingyuan laughed, looked at Jiang Shiqi and asked, "What's the name of your group, have you thought about it?" ”

"The company has determined before, called redvelvet, 'R'e''d''v''e'...... Come to Debebe. Jiang Shiqi laughed again when she heard this, and said the name of their new girl group with a little sense of showing off, and specially read each letter separately, for fear that Chi Jingyuan would not understand.

“redvelvet？” Hearing Jiang Shiqi's last pronunciation, Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, and then repeated it in very standard American English.

The pronunciation of American English and Korean English is very different in some words, obviously redvelvet has several syllables when pronounced, but Jiang Shiqi pronounced it directly as 'Come to Debeibei', which made Ji Jingyuan think that he had heard it wrong.

"Inside, come to Debebe." Shiki nodded, as if she didn't feel anything wrong.

“redvelvet？” He tried to correct it again.

"Come to Debebe."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, and after a short second of consideration, he decided to follow the local customs, and gestured: "OK, come to Debeibei." ”

Sun Shengwan next to him laughed out loud when he watched the conversation between the two, covered his mouth and looked at the helpless Chi Jingyuan, and then she blinked and pointed at the other party, saying I understand your feelings.

Sun Shengwan went to school in Canada before, and he is also fluent in English, so he must have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices to integrate into the team's local pronunciation.

No longer bothering about pronunciation, Chi Jingyuan chewed on the name of the group and asked curiously: "What does it mean to come to Debeibei, red velvet?" ”

"Ahem...... Bae Joo-hyun cleared his throat at this time, took the initiative to stand up and looked at Ji Jingyuan, stood up straight, and introduced it seriously: "Redvelvet is a name that combines the red 'red' full of strong and seductive colors with the velvet 'velvet', which makes people feel soft and feminine, and it is the ...... of expectations."

"Where are you endorsing? Can you have some feelings, Irenexi, you're still the captain? Seeing that Bae Joo-hyun paused for a second from time to time, raising her eyes to think about it, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help interrupting her recitation, and glanced at her speechlessly.

"Hahaha......" A few people next to him immediately laughed loudly, and Pei Zhuhyun, who was halfway back, was suffocated, and wrinkled his nose and glanced at him angrily.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, they're still waiting for me to eat." After saying a few words, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, smiled and waved goodbye directly, and he was ready to do well.

"Bye-bye-......" The four of them also said goodbye to him together, and the atmosphere of smiling was very good.

“Yuanxi。” Ji Jingyuan was stopped by Pei Zhuhyun just after walking two steps, he looked back suspiciously, only to see Pei Zhuxun's eyes shining at him, stretched out a finger, and emphasized it specifically: "Are you free on August 1st?" ”

"Hee-hee, Nei, August 1." Jiang Shiqi also understood what the captain meant, and danced and gestured.

But Chi Jingyuan turned around and spread his hands: "We have a concert in Xia on August 2......"

Several people were a little disappointed when they heard it, but Bae Joo-hyun quickly brushed her hair and smiled sweetly at him: "Of course, the concert is more important." ”

At the same time, she also raised her fist in support: "fightng! ”

Ji Jingyuan also smiled and made a fist: "You too, fighitng!" Come to Debebe! ”

After saying goodbye, Ji Jingyuan got on the elevator and rushed to the restaurant agreed with the members, and while walking, he couldn't help but think about the new girl group Redvelvet.

Although it has not been officially announced, there has been a breaking news on the Internet during this time that 'SM is about to launch a new girl group', and there are even a few members, who probably say it quite accurately, and it is estimated that it should be the rumor that SM company itself has released, and wants to try the waters.

However, in the past two days, the comments on the Internet for the 'SM New Girl Group' have been very bad, and there are few people who express their expectations and loves, but there are people everywhere who ridicule SM this year's water reversal, hoping that the black fans or passers-by of the new girl group will hit the street, especially the fans of SM's own senior group are the most fierce and opposed.

Ji Jingyuan also knew in his heart that the company's debut of Red Beibei so long in advance was actually very meaningful, but he didn't say anything when he saw that Pei Zhuhyun and a few people were so happy and looking forward to it, just cheer for them as a friend.

They are not blind or deaf, they must be more or less aware in their hearts, and they can also see the trend on the Internet in the past two days.

But no matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter compared to debut.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, public opinion from the outside world has begun to be very unfavorable to them, and I don't know what will happen when the company officially announces Redvelvet's debut.

Maybe because of the extremely high quality of the debut song, it is not necessary to turn the tables against the wind?

…………

"Why don't you look sad at all? I remember the last time I heard you say that you and Luhan don't have a good relationship? ”

Pei Xiuzhi sat next to the dining table, took a piece of pizza directly with his hand and ate two bites, looked at Chi Jingyuan who was so hungry that he was happily eating the pizza with some curiosity, and asked curiously.

After lunch and dinner, EXO returned to the company and put an end to the last bit of choreography, and after everything was ready for the concert, the members of the company followed the agent and assistant to run the itinerary respectively, and those who did not have it were temporarily disbanded.

After Ji Jingyuan went to participate in a brand promotion event, he had nothing else to do today, and went directly to the agreed place at the time he made an appointment with Bae Xiuzhi, that is, in the high-end apartment in Yongsan-gu District where the two met last time.

Pei Xiuzhi arrived after a while, and she probably felt very anxious if she hadn't seen her for a while, the one-shoulder bat shirt and super shorts looked very angry, and the scheming makeup carefully painted on her face was quite sultry as a whole.

After she came in, the door was closed, and she didn't even change her shoes, and after glancing at Ji Jingyuan, she took the initiative to hug her, hugged each other and stumbled into the bedroom and rolled together.

It wasn't until it was about to get dark that the two of them took a shower and put on their clothes again and walked out, and Chi Jingyuan, who was already hungry, called and ordered a draped takeaway, and after it was delivered, he hurriedly ate it.

Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Pei Xiuzhi, at this time she was wearing a pure white T-shirt that was one size larger, the buttons of the neckline were not tied to expose the collarbone and a little below, the cuffs were pulled up to the elbows, the slightly long hem covered the thighs, and the two unmodified long legs stretched to the side and stacked together, and the whole person looked like it exuded a lazy and charming atmosphere.

"Yes, it's not bad, Luhan's personality is very good, he has a good relationship with all the members." Chi Jingyuan nodded and swallowed a piece of the drape: "He was in a complicated mood when he first left, after all, we have been together for more than two years, from the trough to the peak...... But after all these days, I don't feel much anymore. ”

"On the contrary, we still have to clean up a bunch of messes left by him, even if I really understand him, but now I feel a little unhappy to mention him."

didn't hide much, Chi Jingyuan casually said something about his mentality in the past few days.

Some time ago, Pei Xiuzhi seemed to have peeked into Ji Jingyuan's extraordinary background family, and the original thoughts in his heart had been somewhat deflected, and he often sent messages in those days to have a feeling of wanting to have a serious relationship.

However, after Chi Jingyuan briefly hinted, she quickly understood, and took the initiative to return to the previous mode of getting along with the two.

With Pei Xiuzhi, the mode of getting along with each other when the opponent sees the right eye, Chi Jingyuan feels pretty good, although he can't get emotional satisfaction and feedback, but it's quite easy not to think too much.

And he felt that when he pushed and pulled each other before, Pei Xiuzhi was the most attractive and attracted his eyes.

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Xiuzhi: "Aren't there also members of Xia Guo in your group?" Don't worry about them running away? ”

"Huh." Pei Xiuzhi smiled a little strangely, pursed his lips and said nonchalantly: "They can run if they want to...... Even if we don't run, our portfolio is estimated to not last long, the company has been very bad in the past two years, we have no plans to return this year, and I don't know ......"

Ji Jingyuan felt that the atmosphere in the team of Missa might be really a bit ordinary, and she was obviously a little uncomfortable when she talked to Pei Xiuzhi about this topic several times.

Pei Xiuzhi's age is not very old, she debuted at such a young age and was focused on being cultivated by the company to become the company's cash cow, I feel that she is not the kind of character who can measure her teammates and understand others to get along with each other, plus her own popularity and popularity are easy to be envied and jealous, and the little Jiujiuchi Jingyuan between girls is probably understandable.

"Forget it, don't talk about it......" Pei Xiuzhi took the initiative to change the topic, took a piece of sprinkle in his hand and took the initiative to send it to Chi Jingyuan's mouth, and laughed as if he remembered something: "Do you remember the neon trainees I met in the club last time?" I met them at the company the other day......"

"And then?"

"I stopped at that time, deliberately glared at them a few times with a straight face, startled them, stood next to me and saluted and trembled, and didn't dare to say a word, panicked to death, as if I was going to trouble them." Bae Xiuzhi said it casually as if he was telling a joke, and at the same time seemed to remember the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing.

He frowned and glanced at Pei Xiuzhi: "What are you doing bullying other people's neon trainees?" ”

"What, it's distressing? With your character, you shouldn't have it, just met once......" Pei Xiuzhi glanced at Chi Jingyuan, raised his eyes and thought: "By the way, is the female trainee who asked you for contact information before the last time we separated the same as the one with several moles on her face?" ”

Ji Jingyuan chewed on the pizza cheeks and puffed out, and looked at her and replied without thinking: "I forgot, what's wrong?" ”

Actually, he remembered, and he was quite impressed, but after hearing Pei Xiuzhi's bad taste just now, he didn't want to tell her.

Pei Xiuzhi glanced at him with the corners of his mouth, chuckled and didn't care, and continued: "That girl has been secretly observing me when she saluted, and she feels that she treats me as your girlfriend." ”

The tone is playful, pointed.

"............" Chi Jingyuan blinked and didn't answer, clapped his hands after eating the last piece, and changed the topic as if he was interested: "I remember that your company doesn't have a preparatory girl group to debut?" It's called 6mix.,It seems like it's going to debut in April.,I came to our lounge to meet at that time.,Why can't I hear movement now? ”

"At the time, it was postponed because of that incident, but when I wanted to restart the debut project, some of the members withdrew, and it was postponed again, and then I didn't pay attention to it."

After explaining casually, Pei Xiuzhi felt a little impatient, picked up one foot and rubbed it on Chi Jingyuan's lap: "Why do you keep talking about this." ”

"Didn't you mention it?" Ji Jingyuan frowned and looked over, and put her legs together to clamp her feet.

After trying it and finding that his feet couldn't be withdrawn, Pei Xiuzhi simply got up directly, sat on Chi Jingyuan's lap obliquely, hugged his neck and lowered his head and snorted against each other: "Really?" I forgot. ”

"When will you go back in the evening?"

"Not now...... anyway"

…………

After all the preparations, EXO Eleven will travel to Seoul Incheon Airport with the team on the evening of July 26th, where they will continue their performance tour at the HL Sports Center in Seongseong City tomorrow.

This is also EXO's first concert after the luhan withdrawal incident, or is it held in the summer mainland where the Internet is still hot, and Lu fans and XO fans are arguing, both the members and the SM itself are actually quite stressed.

Because the members of EXO have not spoken out to the outside world for a long time, a week has passed since the heat of the Al Jazeera online luhan withdrawal storm has not dissipated, and this time there are still many reporters at the airport, chasing them for interviews and trying to get some words.

This time, all the EXO members at the airport wore hats and masks, so as not to be photographed in photos that are easy to misunderstand, and Chi Jingyuan's 'sad photo of the airport' has been forwarded on many forums in the past few days, which really makes his fans feel distressed.

With the help of the assistant, I finally squeezed the reporter into the waiting hall, and after a little rest, I finally got on the plane.

Chi Jingyuan habitually sat on the seat next to the back of the aisle, he poked his head to look at the three or four assistants sitting next to Y and Tao in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After luhan ran away, the plummeting stock price and the group ridicule on the Internet really made SM company fall hard, and they immediately strengthened their control and management over the remaining two Xia Guo members of the EXO team.

The company also knows that there are many economic companies in Xia Guo that want to poach them, and this time on the trip to the mainland, Tao and Y each had at least three assistants by their side to serve them.

He said he was an assistant, but everyone knew exactly what he was doing.

Ji Jingyuan couldn't see the expressions on Tao and Y's faces from behind, and he didn't know what they were doing now, but presumably they shouldn't be in a good mood.

After a few hours of flying, the plane landed at Star City Airport, and after a series of checks, XO and his party walked out of the airport, and as usual, there were still many fans waiting to pick up the plane.

It's just that this time, the cheers of the fans were mixed with the heart-rending voices of several women shouting 'luhan' and 'luhan', which was very harsh in the crowd of greetings.

In this case, it was impossible for EXO to stop to give any benefits to the fans, so they saluted the fans who greeted the airport and thanked them, and then quickly boarded the bus and drove to the hotel.

This time, the company didn't dare to let them disband and run around casually, and after arriving at the hotel, they checked in directly and went back to their rooms to rest and recharge for the next day's concert.

When Ji Jingyuan was lying in bed, he was still thinking, where should the assistants who followed Y and Tao sleep at night?

Do you sleep in your own room, or sleep with them, or do you squat in the door all the time?

Alas......

The night passed quickly, and when EXO went to the gymnasium for rehearsals on the 27th of the next day, SM also announced the news that the new girl group redvelvet will officially debut on August 1 on the official accounts of Peninsula and Xia Guo, respectively, and released the teaser video of the debut song "Happiness".

In between rehearsals, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to watch the teaser video.

Although the teaser video is short, it is a cheerful song that can be heard from the tune and melody, and the title "Happiness" also shows this.

Two of the parts that may be part of the chorus sound pretty good, at least the jubilant and happy feeling is out.

But there are also many strange places.

This trailer is only 27 seconds long, but it took nearly ten seconds to give a close-up of a red-haired parrot from the beginning of the film, which is inexplicable to see Chi Jingyuan.

After the musical accompaniment sounded, a big multicolored mouth suddenly appeared, and Chi Jingyuan, who was watching, was stunned for another second.

He didn't understand what it meant, maybe it was a concept that the company had set for Redvelvet?

And from the perspective of Chi Jingyuan's onlookers, the overall makeup of the members shown in it is quite average, and the four of them are too similar in terms of hairstyle and makeup, and only the color of the hair tail dye is different.

At the end of the video, the four people stood together and posed, and it took Ji Jingyuan, a person who was so familiar with them, to recognize who was who.

If you are not familiar with it for the first time, you can only tell it by the color of the tail of your hair.

He thinks this teaser video is not very good, but it's just a teaser, it can attract attention and increase the heat, and the specific situation depends on the first stage and MV, after the official announcement of the music source.

After watching the video, he went to see the SM official message in the comment area below the two countries' accounts.

It didn't take him a few moments to win, and he frowned slightly.

Dog's breakfast.
