"I cry like this every time, Joo Hyun Xi, are you really a female idol?"

The words of questioning and interrogation came out of Ji Jingyuan's mouth mercilessly, although the other party was still buried in his lap and couldn't see his expression, but he clearly saw that Pei Zhuhyun's left hand holding the wet towel was obviously clenched a little.

Pei Zhuhyun, who was obviously a little angry, pinched the wet towel in her left hand and stretched it out to hit him, but she didn't find the right position and hit the air, as if she didn't understand her hatred, she hit it hard in the air several times in a row before she took it back angrily.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhuxun reached out and put on the sweatshirt and hat that was loosely covering his head, opened the wet wipes package, took out two and turned his head to the right side, turned his back to Ji Jingyuan and hurriedly wiped it lightly on his face, and after wiping it a few times, he felt that two were not enough, and took out several more in a row to wipe his face.

Every time he made a move, he was cautious, for fear that he would be seen by Chi Jingyuan on the face that might have tears, snot, chocolate crumbs, etc. mixed together.

At this time, her legs were still pressed together on the chair, but her upper body turned like a puppet, and such awkward movements made her look like an individual gymnast at this time.

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun was far from being as domineering and straightforward as he was holding his neck just now, looking up and asking the other party, 'Is it ugly', and he was pretentious all of a sudden.

Maybe she herself knows that Chi Jingyuan is not lying, it is really ugly.

Looking at Pei Zhuhyun, who was facing away from her, and the obvious bulge of her sweatshirt and hat being braided, she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, especially when she saw that the other party wiped it carefully for a while, and took out the phone from her pocket with her back to him and took it twice with a black screen before she was relieved.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Did it work? What did you just do?

That is, he didn't react just now, otherwise he would definitely take a picture of Bae Joo-hyun's crying face as a screensaver.

Then take a screenshot and send it to her.

After wiping her face clean, Bae Joo-hyun turned around, but maybe because she felt a little cold, or wanted to cover it up a little, she didn't take off the sweatshirt and hat, but took the initiative to stretch and tighten the sweater rope at the neckline, and a big head was tightly wrapped in a small hat, and the cheeks were tightly wrapped around the brim, and a big bag bulged out from the back of the hat, which looked very funny.

But just now the low air pressure of her body seemed to vent a lot in the crying, at least at this time she looked a lot more angry, a face without pink Dai I don't know if it was because she had just cried, or because she wiped it too hard to look red, and her nose and eyelashes kept trembling gently to show the turbulent emotions in her heart.

glanced at Ji Jingyuan and retracted his eyes, his posture relaxed a little and looked at the lights in the distance, and Pei Zhuhyun didn't bow his head anymore, glanced at him and raised his head, and looked into the distance together.

The two of them sat quietly and looked at the eye-catching night view of Seoul without saying a word, and the evening breeze that had not stopped suddenly found that they could not blow away the temperature that was gradually beginning to rise here.

Obviously, no one spoke to him as when he first arrived, but the atmosphere has obviously changed a lot.

After a while, Pei Zhuhyun stretched out his hand as if he wanted to rub his head, but when he touched it, he found that his hair had been wrapped in a hat, so he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, glanced at Ji Jingyuan, turned his gaze back, looked into the distance and took the initiative to speak: "When my mother called me a few days ago, she said that my family had also seen messages scolding me on the Internet. ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was pleasant to listen to.

"I know they are all angry and sad, but they all take the initiative to care about me on the phone...... Although I am really grateful to them, I feel more embarrassed and really don't want to be seen by my family...... I don't know what to say, and I'm not very good at expressing my feelings. ”

Nodding slightly, Chi Jingyuan did not speak.

After a while, she turned her head to look at Ji Jingyuan and asked, "XO was also attacked badly when he first debuted, has your family seen those comments?" ”

"I'm sure I've seen it, after all, my family cares about me."

When XO debuted, Ji Jingyuan was the best in the team and the most popular, but he definitely couldn't be immune to the bad online environment, although he may not be scolded as many as others, but in fact, there are a lot.

There are not many people who attack their looks, most of them say that the makeup is ugly, and then make up some unbounded rumors and the like.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, raised his eyes and thought about it, then said with a smile: "It's just that they didn't mention it, my parents are in the United States all the year round, and Nuna and the second brother are usually very busy......

"But they all know it's my choice, and they should believe me."

He looked at Bae Joo-hyun's eyes and added, "But I think the same as you, and I don't want this kind of thing to be known by my family, I can understand this feeling." ”

"......" blinked his eyes, Bae Zhuhyun pursed his lips and nodded silently, and after being dull for a few seconds, he suddenly asked with interest: "You still have Nuna and brother?" Are you the youngest child in the family? ”

Her eyes lit up, and she looked quite interested.

"Inside, and they are all much older than me, I belong to the middle-aged children of my parents, so I have always been very favored." Chi Jingyuan said it casually without concealing it, and then looked at her and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I also have a younger sister, who is five years younger than me."

"Isn't that two years younger than me?"

"......" glanced at him angrily, and Pei Zhuhyun pursed his lips unhappily.

I know that I don't like to talk about age, but this person always knowingly does it, which is really annoying.

Chi Jingyuan smiled secretly in his heart, but he still took the initiative to change the topic: "Has Red Velvet been inactive recently?" ”

"Who said that? And also! ”

Hearing this, Pei Zhuhyun frowned and looked at him, and reflexively retorted with self-esteem, but finally his voice became significantly quieter: "There is a little." ”

“……”

Feeling the other party's smiling eyes, Bae Joo-hyun's face was a little red, and when he was really watched, he turned around like he gave up on himself: "...... It's almost gone. ”

"Don't worry too much, after all, Lai De Beibei is a girl group launched by SM after such a long time, and the company will definitely operate it with heart."

Although Bae Joo-hyun looks quite cute, Ji Jingyuan didn't mean to laugh, but naturally talked about his opinion of Red Velvet: "And I've seen the stage of the four of you, whether it's strength or personal charm, there is actually no problem, the current situation is not mainly due to you, but more affected by other aspects, and this debut time is really not good to mention in advance." ”

"I guess the company's plan for you should be similar to our EXO back then, first quiet for a while, and then run a newcomer award at the end of the year in a big awards ceremony such as MAMA or the Seoul Music Awards, and then return next year to change the style, create some gimmicks and invest more resources."

"Many passers-by who don't hate you from the bottom of their hearts won't really be dark for so long, and then it's almost time for this year's limelight to pass, and your situation may be much better at that time."

Speaking of these, Bae Joo-hyun listened to Ji Jingyuan's views very carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, and his expression looked better.

Although this is only Chi Jingyuan's personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of SM Company, out of trust in the other party and understanding of Chi Jingyuan's position within the company, she feels that what the other party said is still very reliable, at least she is willing to believe it.

Bae Joo-hyun's dedication and self-esteem have always been very strong, but after practicing for so long, she made her debut like this, in addition to being sad and wronged, she is deeply unwilling, as long as there is hope, she will definitely do her best to change the current situation.

After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly remembered what Chi Jingyuan said when she was crying just now, and looked at it with concern: "What about XO now?" So many people walked ......"

The withdrawal of members from the group is a big problem for any idol group on the peninsula, just look at the current situation after Kara someone quits, after Girls' Generation Jung so-yeon left, now SONE is directly split, and now it is still in the midst of great disputes.

And EXO is not a retreat, it is a walk every two days, and people are leaving one after another.

The damage that this situation brings to the fans is very great, and the more loyal and like XO, the greater the damage.

"Lay estimates that there will be a result in the next two days, either run directly like the first two, or open a personal studio, and focus on the itinerary in the summer in the future, there should be no other choice."

Chi Jingyuan looked at Jiang Mian and exhaled, and after being silent for a few seconds, he replied: "The damage to our fans is really great, even some of my fans have been affected a lot because of those rumors, let alone the combination...... It's a bit like you Red Velvet, but what happens to us in the future depends on next year's return, and now that the company is working on a project, I should be involved. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "But there should be another single released in December." ”

"EXO's Winter Special?" Bae Joo-hyun asked at the right time.

"You know?"

"......" glanced at him, and Bae Joo-hyun pursed his lips.

Nonsense.

"Although it's also a winter special, this year may not be the same as last year's mini-album, it should just be a single. The previous plan was very perfunctory, and I tried to get it better with the company, but I haven't chosen the song yet, and I don't have a clue yet. ”

Seeing that Ji Jingyuan, who had always been calm and confident, also had a little sadness on his face, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly burst into a bright smile, stretched out his small fist and compared it to him: "Fighting!" ”

Just like every time they met before, Chi Jingyuan cheered him up.

Looking at her like this, Chi Jingyuan laughed suddenly, and also gestured: "Fighting!" ”

"Let's work together, it's up to next year."

"Inside."

After cheering each other on, the two looked much better and more relaxed, as if the return of the two pairs next year was sure to be successful.

Unconsciously sat a little closer, looked into the distance together, saw the brilliant night scene from the sparkling river, and finally raised their heads to look at the foggy night sky.

A cold wind blew, Ji Jingyuan noticed the current situation of the two, thought of something, couldn't help laughing suddenly, and felt Pei Zhuhyun's puzzled eyes, he pouted at the sky: "Do we look like we're watching the sunrise now?" ”

"Poof......

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly laughed out and showed his little white teeth reflecting the moonlight, Su Su's face showed a disgusted smile, and he said angrily: "How can anyone run out to watch the sunrise at twelve o'clock in the morning, it's pabo......"

As she spoke, she also looked up at the silver-white but somewhat lonely moon with Chi Jingyuan, watching the laughter in her mouth gradually weaken, and the whole person quieted down.

It seemed that he felt something in this quiet night sky, and Bae Joo-hyun was suddenly a little stupid.

The two of them really looked up at the dark sky as if they were watching the sunrise, as if the miserable moon was about to be replaced by a big fireball in the next second, and the sky would become brighter.

One half leans on the back of a wooden chair, and the other puts his feet on the chair and holds it with his hands, the posture is completely different but looks very harmonious.

"Now the situation of our combination is just like what you just said, and it is a bit similar to the scene in front of you, the sky is gray and there is no light to be seen...... But wait until the sun comes out. ”

Chi Jingyuan began to tell the story seriously, but what he said seemed a little naïve.

"How do you feel like you're comforting a child?" Glancing at him, Pei Zhuxun pursed his mouth.

"Romantic, don't you say this? Say that pimple at the corner of your mouth? ”

"Ah......h ”

"Inside, first illuminate Bae Joo-hyun, and then you reflect the light to illuminate me."

“pipipipi…… Hahaha......" Hearing this, Pei Zhuhyun pushed Ji Jingyuan with his hand continuously, and the onomatopoeia in his mouth seemed to be reflecting the light, but he couldn't help laughing without doing it twice, and after laughing, he quickly covered his mouth, but the laughter kept lingering beside him.

At the end, she looked at the sky in a daze and asked expectantly, "Then when will the sun rise?" ”

"It's a little past twelve o'clock, and it's about six hours before sunrise." Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then pursed his lips and replied solemnly: "If you convert it, it will be almost six months in reality." ”

"Is that so?" With a look of complete belief and no doubt, Bae Joo-hyun nodded in agreement.

The two glanced at each other, and both felt that they and the other party were really naïve at this time, so they looked at each other and laughed "haha......"

"By the way, anything else?" Smiling, Ji Jingyuan nodded at the packaging of the chocolate bar in her hand.

This bag was the only bag of snacks he was carrying, and he was snatched away by Pei Zhuhyun without even eating a bite after opening the package just now.

"There should be more...... this is when she noticed the tight bag in her hand, and after saying something uncertainly, she quickly opened it and looked at it.

It's a pity that it may be because of too much force when I took it just now, and most of it was pinched and crushed.

"What a waste, Senior Bae Joo-hyun." Chi Jingyuan looked at the scraps in the bag, smacked his lips and complained.

"And one more!" After rummaging for a while, Pei Zhuhyun finally found the last complete chocolate bar, took it out with a light eye, and looked at Ji Jingyuan with a flash: "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Glancing at the chocolate bar and then at Bae Joo-hyun in front of him, Ji Jingyuan blinked as if thinking about it for a second:

"One and a half."

"Hey, that's half for one person."

……

"Bye-bye."

Pei Zhuxun, who got out of the car and turned around to say goodbye with a smile, waved his hand, and after watching the other party walk towards the community where the dormitory was located, Ji Jingyuan raised the window and lay lazily on the back of the chair, looking a little tired.

Of course, it was impossible to let the other party come back alone at such a late hour, and it just so happened that Ji Jingyuan had prepared in advance to let Park Jae-hyun drive nearby, and finally got in the car and sent her back after sharing the last chocolate bar.

Red Velvet's dormitory is quite close to the exo dormitory, all of which are close to Jiangnan in the ** district, not far from the company, and the house price and rent are much cheaper than those in the Jiangnan district.

"Do you want to go back and rest?" Park Jae-hyun in the driver's seat asked.

"Well, let's go back."

Chi Jingyuan stretched and replied with half-squinted eyes.

Today is really tired, got up early in the morning to shoot a morning of filming, received the news of Tao's departure in the afternoon and rushed back to the meeting, and talked with Li Xiuman for a lot of return time and received several tasks, and then returned to the crew to film until the evening, and then returned to the company to write a planning report, and when he was about to leave the company and go home to sleep, he met Bae Joo-hyun, and came out for a walk and chatted until now.

Today's day has been really fulfilling.

However, there are a lot of gains, at least Pei Zhuhyun's seniors, who are holding back a belly of negative emotions in their hearts, are a lot more normal, and they can be regarded as a little relieved.

As soon as the nanny car started for a while, Ji Jingyuan's mobile phone vibrated and he blew his breath and opened his eyes to take a look, and Bae Joo-hyun sent a selfie.

It is estimated that she has returned to the dormitory, in the photo, she should have just washed her face, eyebrows and hair tips with water stains, standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom with a mobile phone and taking a picture of her face from the bottom up, although the white face looks good, but the two nostrils are really conspicuous.

I guess I wanted to tell Chi Jingyuan that she had arrived in the dormitory.

Ji Jingyuan chuckled and didn't say anything, and replied with a 'disgusted' expression.

Obviously, when we met just now, her face was a little dark and yellow, and it was obviously not in good spirits, but at this time, her face in the photo was fair and translucent, ruddy and shiny.

Washing your face has such a big effect?

Cut, and also specially opened the beauty, which is really scheming.

As a rookie girl group, going back to the dormitory so late will definitely be criticized by the agent, but Bae Joo-hyun, as the captain, is still the oldest member, so she won't be scolded too ugly, and it is estimated that she will find some excuse to deceive the agent.

But it is said that Bae Joo-hyun has a very good-looking face, and I don't know how the lie is.

You must be quite skilled......

After returning to the dormitory to wash up, Chi Jingyuan fell asleep, got up early the next morning and rushed to the crew to continue filming.

Sure enough, as Ji Jingyuan expected, there were many EXO fans squatting there at the entrance of Seoul Plaza to listen to him about TAO's withdrawal from the group yesterday, including some media reporters who were also involved.

After starting to shoot "Unborn", this has become the most accurate place to find Ji Jingyuan, which is better than SM Company and EXO dormitory, as long as you squat here, you basically feel that you can find his person.

It's a pity that it is impossible for Chi Jingyuan to respond to this kind of thing.

And honestly, he doesn't really have much to say.

Under the protection of the assistant and the agent, Ji Jingyuan walked in quickly after greeting the fans, without stopping a single step.

After arriving at the crew, both the actors and the staff were also very eye-catching, and they all knew that EXO had something happened yesterday after watching the news, but this time it was not like the previous time when Zheng Xiuyan quit the group when Girls' Generation, many people asked Ji Jingyuan to ask about gossip and the inside story, but everyone deliberately avoided this topic when greeting, and none of them took the initiative to mention this matter.

It's also kind of empathetic.

And yesterday when he was preparing a plan in the music room of SM company, the sixth episode of "Unborn" was also broadcast on time.

But after coming to the crew in the morning, I was a little unhappy to learn the statistical ratings.

After the fifth episode's staggering 5.3%, the sixth episode not only did not maintain the previous gratifying increase, but dropped a little, and even fell below the 5% mark, only 4.9%.

But this decline is also within the normal range.,And it's not normal for the increase in the fifth episode to be a bit high.,It's understandable that it hasn't been retained for various reasons.,As long as the overall attitude of growth can be satisfied.,

However, the ratings have dropped after all, although everyone didn't pay too much attention to it, but the atmosphere of the crew today has become a little more tense than the previous two days.

In fact, the increase in ratings may be within a relatively normal range, but the evaluation on the Internet is obviously better day by day, whether it is for the filming of the whole drama of "Unborn", the camera and other techniques, or the overall setting of the plot, or the acting skills and performance of the actors, they have all received a lot of praise and praise.

Many of the white-collar workers on the peninsula have become loyal viewers of the show, and "Unborn" has become a hot topic for these people to chat about.

The ratings are not obvious because of the inherent limitations of cable TV stations, but the popularity and discussion have obviously overshadowed the TV dramas of other wireless TV stations in the same period, and the momentum is very obvious, and the influence is gradually spreading.

Today is November 2nd, and the Asian Music Festival held at the main arena of the Busan Asian Games in the evening has a stage with three songs of EXO-K, but Ji Kyung-won was allowed to be absent from the company due to problems with the filming schedule, and the stage was performed by five other members of the K team.

Chi Jingyuan himself didn't want to be absent, but this kind of large-scale evening performance needs to practice together beforehand, and he has to go to the scene for rehearsals a day in advance or on the same day, and he stays for most of the day, but this time is when "Unborn" is getting better and better, and the shooting task is gradually becoming heavier, it is difficult for him to spare so many days to practice or rehearse.

SM didn't want to delay the TV series that obviously had a big hit momentum because of the performance, so after thinking about it for a while, he directly asked Ji Jingyuan not to use it, so let's shoot well.

Fortunately, exo-k has rehearsed the five-person formation of many songs before, and there is no need to work overtime overnight to rehearse the dance.

And Ji Jingyuan is one of the most members in the part of the K team, and if he is absent, the weight and shots of the other members will increase a lot, but the most added, the heaviest tasks are Do Junxiu and Kim Junmian.

And even if Chi Jingyuan's part came out, Wu Shixun didn't get a few words.

Because to be honest, even if some of the lead singer's parts are given to him, he can't sing them.

In addition to today's Asian Music Festival, SM also directly made Ji Jingyuan absent from several recent EXO-K stage performances, including the "Lotte Family Concert" on the 9th, the "Music Bank - Mexico Special" on the 11th, and so on.

This treatment is really good, but SM has always paid attention to the development of his own idol actor path, such as Choi Xueli, Choi Min-ho, Kwon Yoo-ri and even Lin Yuna have had the experience of missing important stages or family concerts due to filming, and Ji Jingyuan is not too special.

However, not having to participate in this 'Mexico Special' really made Chi Jingyuan thank him in his heart, I heard that it would take nearly forty hours to go back and forth with a plane and a transfer, and if he came to such a time, it would really cost him more than half his life.

After a day's shooting, Ji Jingyuan returned to the company's music room again, Li Xiuman's task was quite heavy, and he would work overtime here if there was no accident in the short evening.

When he came here today, he didn't start thinking about the project report directly, but put on headphones, turned on the computer and mixer, and tried to input a melody into it.

After listening quietly for a while, he clicked on a document, closed his eyes and remembered the scene of getting along with Bae Joo-hyun by the river last night, and recalled some of the words that the two of them said at that time.

Some of the words said by the other party left a deep impression on him, and they were still vivid in his mind at this time, gently echoing in his ears.

He couldn't help but think of the situation of the two groups of EXO and Red Velvet now, although the circumstances are different, but the prospects are equally bleak at this time.

After sorting out the memories for a moment, he exhaled lightly and began to tap his fingers on the keyboard:

"You'll get used to it, again."

“……”

"It's going to pass, it's going to pass."

“……”
