Back in the backstage lounge, there were already a few members back chatting there, Chi Jingyuan nodded and then sat on the sofa, holding the wrapped gift box that Zhou Ziyu handed him when he just said goodbye, and looked around in his hand.

The box is only the size of a hand, with a light blue background packaging, with yellow ribbons crisscrossed on it, a bow tied at the top, and some sequins and rhinestones and other decorations pasted next to it, and I don't know where to get the packaging, and it's quite exquisite.

It's just a little more feminine and childish.

Judging by this size, I guess it should be something like a toy figure.

Ordinary birthdays should give some small gifts that are not too expensive, but they are very thoughtful, and the other party also likes them, if it is just an ordinary relationship but it is too expensive, it will be easy for the other party to have a burden, so Ji Jingyuan will pay attention to controlling the price when giving gifts to friends, except for the earrings that gave Pei Zhuhyun last time, the others are not very valuable things.

And when it comes to receiving gifts, he actually wants it to be the same.

He looked at the gift box and put it in his backpack, ready to open it after returning to the dormitory, because of the birthday, he has received a lot of gifts recently, not to mention that fans around the world have sent a lot of gifts that can fill a room, just a lot of small gifts from friends in the circle to express their hearts and get closer to each other.

I was quite surprised at the beginning, but after receiving more, I was actually a little tired, and now except for those close friends, he was a little too lazy to dismantle the others.

After a while, everyone came back, and their faces should be in a very good mood, and everyone trimmed up a little, and soon a group of people followed the on-site director and staff to start a meeting and talk about today's first performance

In addition to seeing if there are any problems with today's performance, whether there are any mistakes in the coordination of lighting, positioning, fireworks props and other things, sometimes the flow of the performance during the follow-up concert will be slightly adjusted, and the songs and versions may also change in different performances.

For example, today's performance, the new song "Drop That", which has not yet been released, recorded two versions of the Korean version alone during the recording, and the most eye-catching part of the three consecutive trebles in addition to Ji Kyung-won's version also has a version of Kim Jong-dae, which is also expected to be performed in subsequent performances.

After finishing it, I packed up my things and went back to the company, and I didn't finish until late.

…………

“…… Bang. ”

With a muffled sound, the gullwing door of the co-pilot of the car was opened, and a petite figure bury his head and quickly arched in from the outside, and sat on the chair with his left foot and right leg, shook his ass and twisted his buttocks, and then leaned out slightly, and tried to straighten his arm to pull the door that was hanging out, but suddenly found that he seemed to be a little bit short of length, and her whole person was slightly sluggish and then her legs immediately did not leak a trace of secret force, and her body swayed upwards a little, After finally touching the doorknob, he pulled it steadily, and slammed the door shut decisively.

When the door was just opened, some scattered and chaotic sounds that poured in outside were suddenly cut off, and Pei Zhuhyun, who had just sat in, had a satisfied look in his eyes, took off the hat and mask he was wearing, and looked over with his head and big eyes: "Why is it so late...... What are you looking at? ”

After she sat in, she found that the person next to her was still staring at the mobile phone in her hand without raising her head, and she couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

It was a little later than Ji Jingyuan expected before, and it took a long time just to hold a continuous meeting to discuss the performance, and then I had a meal with the members to celebrate, and it was almost early in the morning after I was busy with everything.

He went back and put his things away, talked to his agent, changed his clothes, and drove to the vicinity of Red Velvet's dormitory.

In fact, it has been more than three years since their debut, and most of the members of EXO have a relationship with each other, often people will disappear, or go out on dates or the like, and the agent is also well aware of this, but by this time, the company's attitude has eased a lot, and it is basically not very strict about the things that members are in love, just to remind you to pay attention to yourself and not to be photographed or something.

Quite empathetic...... It could also be that they know that they can't control the request.

Ji Jingyuan specially found a remote alley with little traffic to stop, sent a message to Pei Zhuhyun, who had made an appointment in advance, and told her the address, and then made a phone call, and after two drops, she was tacitly hung up by the other party, and in ten minutes or so, she was seen wearing a disguise and entering her sight with her head down.

Even though it's quite far away, he can recognize the figure and walking posture at a glance.

"Hmm...... During the meeting, PD talked a little more, and just now the team had a dinner party, which is not easy to push. ”

Although it was not early, Pei Zhuhyun's every move and voice was still very energetic, and her tone was up, and she could hear that she was in a very good mood, after hearing her question, Ji Jingyuan explained casually but did not look up, still lowered his head and clicked quickly on the screen with his fingers clicked a few times, and said at the same time: "Reply to a few text messages, a friend sent me to congratulate me on my birthday." ”

"With your popularity, there must be a lot of people greeting you, right?"

"Almost, quite a lot."

Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and said that she was right.

Although he is not very familiar with some people, he has met a lot of friends in the circle in the past few years after his debut, and there are many seniors who are familiar with the same company, such as Yun'er's seniors, who are very considerate and sent a message to congratulate.

Chi Jingyuan remembers that this sister is still filming a TV series on Xia Guo's side at this time, it seems that it started at the beginning of the year, and I don't know if it has been filmed for so long, and Girls' Generation is still preparing to return to the new album, this sister can still remember his birthday in her busy schedule, which is really a little touching.

Although I don't know if it was the agent who reminded her......

When the time comes, after the official broadcast of "Martial God Zhao Zilong", he must stick to the broadcast and contribute his own strength, so that Yun'er's predecessors can get rid of the hat of ratings poison as soon as possible, and rely on this drama to completely open up the mainland market, which is very popular!

Rough card!

In addition to Lin Yun'er, there were many other people, but most of the greetings had already been received and replied to during the day, and he was actually chatting with another person at this time......

Ji Jingyuan finally sent a few expressions, and then crossed out the interface of the dialogue with Mingjing Nan, directly locked the screen and put the phone on the dashboard, and then turned his head to look at Bae Joo-hyun.

It seems that because the temperature has become a lot lower at night, she is wearing a white long-sleeved top with a long and loose style, and several big English logos on her chest are folded because of her sitting posture, and the hands on both sides are half drilled out of the wide and thick cuffs, and a few soft fingers look very small.

The top is slightly thicker, but the bottom is a refreshing white zippered shorts, one thick and one thin, which is quite harmonious.

The long-sleeved hem is very long and extends to the middle of the thighs, covering most of the shorts underneath to show the look of the missing underwear, the two delicate legs are tightly oblique and tightly seamed together, the reflected white light and the color of the clothes complement each other, and a pair of dark blue flats can be seen in the deepest part of the line, probably because of fashion or convenience, she also stepped on the back heel, revealing some moldy heels.

The dark brown long hair is slightly fluffy and hangs down from both sides of the cheeks, the two small yellow hairpins are very conspicuous, and they may have taken off their makeup and washed their faces so they only applied a little cream, and a face looks not so delicate but white and makes people want to pinch it, although it is no longer so glamorous compared to the radiant appearance on the stage and in front of the camera, it seems a lot more real, even the small moles on the face are clearly visible, and the lighting in the car is reflected in the children's holes. The indelible smile between the eyebrows and eyes adds to the liveliness of the whole person.

What a white and vivid ninety-one year old lady.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at each other after seeing her eyes, looked up and down without avoiding his eyes, and at the same time gently sniffed the fragrance that had faintly come from the time she sat in, and soon laughed, blinked his eyes and asked, "Why are you dressed up so beautifully?" ”

"Is there a ......?"

Ji Jingyuan's straightforward praise made Pei Zhuhyun's eyebrows move when he heard it, but he didn't look very happy, but he didn't agree with it and asked suspiciously, and at the same time skillfully pulled open the visor, didn't notice the corners of his mouth that began to curl at all, pretended to raise his chin in the mirror and took a picture left and right, and gently patted his elastic face: "I didn't have much makeup, I just washed my face casually and came out......"

"Is it pretty?" She turned around with a smile, looked at Chi Jingyuan with curious eyes and asked, looking like a beginner.

It's just that after seeing the other party's smiling eyes and an expression of appreciating her performance, Pei Zhuhyun finally couldn't help it, her cheeks slowly puffed up, her lips were held together, and two seconds later, she laughed heartily and happily, her eyebrows and eyes were open, and her teeth were exposed, as if a flower was blooming: "Hahaha......"

From the moment she sat in, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed.

Bae Joo-hyun smiled happily, there are too many people who praise her for her good looks, especially since her debut, she can often hear praise like this, what netizens say about fans and even people she knows around her, she is numb and doesn't feel anything.

But the same compliment comes out of different people's mouths, and the effect is completely different, maybe she just hears it from others, but the person opposite says this, and she is very happy in her heart.

"It's a pity that it doesn't look good when you smile......"

Even if Chi Jingyuan's unwillful complaint followed, she was not annoyed when she heard it, she just glanced at him, and brushed the hair on the left side, revealing the shiny sunflower stud earrings on her earlobe.

"What excuse did you make to get out?" Ji Jingyuan watched her laugh happily, shook his head and laughed, and took the initiative to ask after the voice faded.

said that it was a date to celebrate a birthday, but in fact, it was to sit in the car and talk, as a star, especially a trendy artist, men and women meet in private, so tight and careful.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan also has a place where he can meet more openly, but it is a little late now, he still has a very important job tomorrow, and the relationship between the two has not yet reached that point.

"No excuses, we haven't been in the return period recently, and the agent is not strict, and I haven't gone back to the dormitory for the past two days, so I said to Shiqi and came down......"

"What are you talking about?"

"I won't tell you, I didn't mean to come to you anyway, but I think she must have seen it...... And we've been talking about you just now, right......"

】

Saying that, Bae Joo-hyun picked up the canvas bag that he had just placed beside him, and took out two things in a row, one packaged a bit like a jewelry box, and the other was a hat: "Didn't I say I wanted to return you a hat before, I didn't find a suitable Pokémon style for a long time, so I bought a Doraemon, and I don't know if you ......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Chi Jingyuan take the hat, put it on her head, pulled down the mirror to look at it a few times, and nodded with a smile: "It's good, how do you know that I like Doraemon very much recently......"

Seeing the other party like this, Pei Zhuhyun smiled a lot brighter when she put her heart down, and then she handed over another packaged jewelry box.

She watched Chi Jingyuan open the jewelry box, and a pair of earrings contained in it were imprinted into her eyes, her eyes became a little worried, and she took the initiative to speak after pursing her mouth:

"And this stud earring...... I know you don't like to wear these jewelry, but I want to buy them for you......"

As a very close person, Bae Joo-hyun knows that Ji Jingyuan doesn't like to wear fancy jewelry like this, whether it is in front of the camera on stage or in private.

It's just that the gift given to her by the other party on her birthday before was a little expensive, and she was very happy and liked it very much, but at the same time, she was actually a little uneasy, even if Red Velvet didn't share much of her income, it was far less than that of Kamichi Jingyuan and Exo, but she still wanted to be able to give the other party a similar gift.

And she really likes the style of this stud earring.

Ji Jingyuan opened it and looked at it, it was a small crescent-shaped earring, which was somewhat similar to the style that Pei Zhuxun was wearing on his ear at this time, but the shapes of the sun and the moon were opposite, and he understood what the other party meant at a glance.

"Thank you......"

As if he realized the intention in the other party's heart, Ji Jingyuan took it with a smile and looked at it carefully, then closed the lid, faced Pei Zhuhyun's somewhat expectant gaze, raised his eyes and thought about it, and then did not perfunctory: "I really don't like to wear earrings, and I don't have ...... ear piercings."

didn't see Pei Zhuhyun's hand squeezed slightly, he paused for a second and continued: "However, it's not that rings, bracelets and other decorations are completely unworn, it mainly depends on who gave them." ”

Bae Joo-hyun's mood fluctuated because he was worried that the other party would not be satisfied with the gift, but after hearing the latter words, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.

"Very good, thank you."

Chi Jingyuan thanked him seriously again, and after putting the gift away, his mood suddenly changed, and he made a somewhat disappointed expression: "Although I like it a lot, it's just that I thought before I came that there would be some other special gifts." ”

"A special gift?" His mind was dragged away by the other party's sudden change, and Bae Joo-hyun didn't seem to have reacted at this time, and blinked suspiciously.

"What do you think of yourself as a gift, give a kiss of true love, or something, doesn't that sound romantic?"

"Ah, have you watched too many of those idol romance TV series?" Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but laugh angrily when she heard this, and looked at Ji Jingyuan who deliberately made an innocent expression speechlessly, and wrinkled her nose with some disgust.

"I've not only seen it, I've also acted in it myself." He shrugged his shoulders and looked very innocent: "It's all played like this, and the audience likes to watch it." ”

"Cut, how can anyone do that in reality, and we ......"

Bae Joo-hyun pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped, and then paused for a moment: "And after your next concert, don't you take time out to take your relatives to visit the backstage." ”

Finally heard her mention the previous meeting with Zhou Ziyu, Chi Jingyuan knew that this sister looked generous to everyone on the surface every time, but in fact, there was really a lot of careful thinking inside.

However, she doesn't like to show these emotions, even sometimes when facing the members of her group, but when she faces Ji Jingyuan alone in private, she doesn't like to hide it very much.

It's just that when it comes to the topic of Zhou Ziyu, Chi Jingyuan is still a little speechless and leans back on the back of the chair and sighs: "If it's someone else, Pei Xiuzhi or something like that, it's okay, she is just a little girl, why do you say that she is like my girlfriend?" ”

"Little girl? How old is she? "Bae Joo-hyun actually doesn't have any abnormal feelings for Zhou Ziyu, and at the same time, he doesn't want to interfere with Ji Jingyuan's own socialization at all.

When she just saw the Pokémon hat that the other party was wearing and the one she imagined very much, she couldn't help but have a strange feeling in her heart, because in Bae Joo-hyun's heart, the duck hat that Ji Jingyuan gave him represented the complete experience between the two from acquaintance to intimacy, and it had a very special status.

But the other party has an identical top, but the picture is different.

"'99." Without thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan said directly: "I'm still a little kid." ”

"Isn't that as old as Yilin, and who said that those born in 99 are still children......" Hearing this, Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but glance at him: "Do you know that girls are very precocious, when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, they have already reached the age when they know what it is, not to mention that they were born in 99 and are already seventeen years old this year, and they have been being trainees, and they have participated in the show to prepare for their debut, not to mention that the contact is still your ......"

She didn't finish, but the meaning was obvious.

"How can it be ......" Chi Jingyuan smiled when he heard it, and waved his hand as if he didn't take it to heart.

After blurting out a sentence, he suddenly hesitated, and the follow-up words did not continue.

Because his personal experience in school told her that what Pei Zhuhyun said was correct, but Zhou Ziyu's image of a little kid in his heart was really a little deep-rooted, and his silly smile and often angry appearance made him rarely associate with this place.

Recalling the scene when the two of them were together, Chi Jingyuan thought to himself in his heart.

It shouldn't be ......

didn't break the fact that Bae Joo-hyun obviously went back and took a look at Zhou Ziyu's information, and even knew the facts about people's efforts to make his debut, Ji Jingyuan suddenly didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, took off the Dolemeng hat on his head and looked at it, and took the initiative to mention the things he had just talked about: "By the way, when did you say you wanted to return my hat?" ”

Bae Joo-hyun also seemed to see some of the other party's thoughts, so he didn't continue to say more.

It's just that after hearing his later words, he couldn't help frowning: "It's the last time you took a walk, don't you remember?" ”

"I forgot." Chi Jingyuan put away the gift and spread his hands to say that he had no impression.

He did completely forget.

"You...... Forget it......"

Obviously a little dissatisfied, the corners of Pei Zhuhyun's mouth twitched and glanced at him unpleasantly.

She remembered the experience of the two of them getting along and some of the words that Chi Jingyuan said clearly, and occasionally took them out to recall for a while, but she didn't expect the other party to look so indifferent, which was really annoying.

However, when it came to this topic, she seemed to be suddenly interested, and the dissatisfaction on her face came and went quickly, and a look suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at the person next to her: "By the way, you ...... Why did you put your hat on me that day? ”

That chance encounter by the river was the beginning of the two knowing and knowing each other, and everything, if it weren't for the duck hat that was pressed on his head that day, maybe not so many things would have happened later, and the back of "Let It Be" naturally disappeared.

"Why ......"

Suddenly mentioning this incident two years ago, Chi Jingyuan couldn't remember it clearly, he raised his eyes and thought about it carefully, then looked at the other party's curious and expectant gaze, and said with some hesitation after snorting: "It should be...... Look at how pitiful you're crying......"

"Is that because of this?" After looking forward to the answer for a long time, Bae Joo-hyun shouted out with some disappointment, feeling not romantic at all.

"Then what do you think is the reason, because you are good-looking?"

"Can't you?"

"Your crying snot is all over your face, and your clothes are all over the place, and now that you think about it, it's really good-looking, Jinjia pounced!"

"Ah, Chi Jingyuan!" Angry voices came, accompanied by the muffled sound of stomping feet.

"The hat is actually just a symbol, the most important thing is that we all happened to be in that place at that time, you know, I usually don't like to go out for a walk casually, who knows that I happened to be idle that day and didn't bother to go back to the dormitory, and I didn't expect to meet a senior who couldn't cry himself...... ：

Ji Jingyuan could see at a glance what she was thinking, and it seemed that she wanted to give a more romantic note to the initial acquaintance of the two, but Bae Joo-hyun was looking in the wrong direction.

He exhaled, and didn't look at Bae Joo-hyun, who had been staring at him, and shook his head lazily and said, "So it's really a coincidence that day, and it's really like a TV series when I think about it...... We met by chance, and some of the scenes we got along with in private were outrageous than idol dramas, and I don't know where you got such a high profile, so you still look down on idol dramas......"

Although Ji Jingyuan's voice was a little lazy, after hearing it, it made Bae Joo-hyun suddenly become a little quieter, and his deep eyes were a little misty, as if he remembered some things in the past.

Looking back on that scene at that time, it is indeed as Ji Jingyuan said, whether it is from the first meeting, to the chance encounter by the river and the hat, to the subsequent relationships, those pictures and coincidences are indeed really like a TV series, every step seems to be a script carefully crafted by the best screenwriter.

It's a coincidence, but it's incredible.

She suddenly felt a sense of fate and sweet fate pervading her, and they had always existed from beginning to end, but she had only just discovered it.

Thinking of this, a stimulating electric current gushed out of my heart, and the slightly hot tingling sensation made the whole person become a little hot.

It was quiet for more than ten seconds, just when Ji Jingyuan was curious about whether he had poked the other party's sore spot, and when he turned his head and was about to care, he saw that Pei Zhuhyun didn't know when he changed his sitting position, turned over slightly, and his legs that were originally close together were raised, and his white legs were stacked up and down on the side, outlining a slender dark shadow in the curve.

She half-twisted her body, her hand stretched out from the wide sleeve and rubbed her chin, tilted her head and her nose trembled slightly, her big eyes shining with rippling water looked directly at each other's eyes, and she bit her lower lip gently, and her eyes became inexplicably charming:

"You're right......"

"Idol dramas are actually ...... Pretty good......"

"What do you think?"
