Zhou Ziyu, who was originally a little dissatisfied because of the other party's indifferent smile, heard the casual, but very serious thanks, and the grievances and annoyances in her heart disappeared as if they had been extinguished by a clear spring, she seemed to feel the other party's current mood, turned her head to look at him, and her eyes blinked.

"What? Haven't seen it? ”

Chi Jingyuan, who was stared at by a pair of big Brynblin's eyes, didn't turn his head, chuckled out and glanced sideways before continuing to drive.

Although he felt a little funny, he obviously felt that Zhou Ziyu's position as a little girl was completely on his side, even if the other party was a trainee senior in the same company, and the members who might debut together in the future were the same, this feeling of being maintained was quite good.

People can't help but have a feeling of 'I didn't hurt her in vain'.

However, after Ji Jingyuan laughed, he thought about it and said, "Although I am very grateful, but as I said before, there is no need to upset me about this kind of thing...... And this incident was originally a partnership between the two of us to bully others, Lin Nalian was scolded so badly some time ago, it is normal to vent as a black fan in private. ”

"Who partnered with you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziyu glanced at him angrily, and then immediately remembered that he was blatantly and unabashedly partial to Chi Jingyuan when he was recording the show, and the surprise at that time and the subsequent joy rose at the same time, and he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled, and the stealing person was overjoyed there.

Chi Jingyuan didn't care about the change in the girl's mood, and then said: "Okay, she doesn't hack me in private, I won't take it to heart at all, speaking of which, I also watched the one she was scolded before, in fact, it's really pitiful......"

"How you get along is your business, you can get along how you want to get along, and if you really get mixed up in "Sixteen" in the future, you and others will have to live together for many years when you enter a group."

"Who's the ......?"

Another dissatisfied whispered complaint, and then Zhou Ziyu thought about it himself, and nodded obediently and seriously: "I know." ”

At this time, the car had already driven into the JB district where the "sixteen" dormitory was located, and the surrounding buildings suddenly became a lot older, and the narrow roads and low brick houses began to gradually increase to everywhere, because the road conditions inevitably slowed down.

Because of the early development, there are relatively many old areas in Jiangbei, most of the areas still maintain a very traditional style, housing construction and the situation are relatively cheap and economical, compared with the prosperous Jiangnan District, the gap between the two places across the river is huge.

Because the rent is cheap and it is close to Gangnam, many entertainment companies choose to live here for trainees and artists, and JYP is like this.

It's the same with not enough SM, EXO's first dormitory, and where red velvet lives are also near here, and the straight-line distance is actually not far from Zhou Ziyu's dormitory.

It was another red light, Chi Jingyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly turned around and picked up a large packaged box from the back storage area and stuffed it into Zhou Ziyu's arms: "By the way, the birthday gift I bought for you......"

"What?"

When it came to gifts, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting there in a regular manner, immediately lit up his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be vivid, and before Chi Jingyuan handed the things to her, he had already taken the lead in turning around and looking at it, and then took the initiative to reach out and take it, put it on his legs and looked at it carefully.

Originally, because of Chi Jingyuan's ridicule, she thought that it was something to satirize her dark skin cosmetics and masks, and she was still a little apprehensive before, but at this time, when she saw the packaging, she immediately denied this idea.

"A stupid dog doll, I happened to see it before and it feels more suitable for you...... It's not a precious thing, so just take it and play with it. ”

Listening to the introduction of an indifferent tone next to him, Zhou Ziyu looked at the packaging in his hand happily, the packaging box was very large, the height of the top and bottom was already more than half a meter, and it could be seen from the transparent surface in the middle that there was a doll hidden inside.

"Can I open it?" A pair of big eyes looked over again, and after seeing Chi Jingyuan nodding his chin casually, he immediately opened the package happily.

Soon the package was unpacked, and a dog's doll revealed its own face, the type was a little blurred, a bit like a golden retriever, and a bit like a Labrador, the gray fur looked soft, and it felt very comfortable to touch it, obviously the quality was very good, and it was not an ordinary doll on the street.

It droops a pair of big ears, licks its red tongue with its mouth open, and a pair of small eyes are full of wisdom, but the overall match is full of simplicity, and at the same time, there is a matching cotton black-framed glasses on the head, which makes the already unsmart dog head look even more stupid, which makes people disgusted at the same time, but can't help but smile and want to take it twice.

The smile of the person holding it at this time was exactly the same.

"It's so cute!"

Zhou Ziyu's eyes lit up at first sight, racing past the two oncoming high beams, she obviously liked this birthday gift very much, just looked up and down and hugged her directly in her arms, and couldn't help but use her face and a simple dog face to make a close sticker.

I was not satisfied with this, and rubbed it twice, and the soft touch made her heart happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be closed at all.

"Wow, it's so soft, it's so comfortable to ......"

"Average."

"Why is it wearing glasses?"

"Poor eyesight."

"What's its name?"

"Stupid dog."

"Nasty!"

The excitement turned into words and questions and began to rush towards Chi Jingyuan frantically, and in the face of Chi Jingyuan's extremely perfunctory answer, he did not cool down at all, still happily holding the doll, holding a short, soft dog leg in each hand, playing and beating each other, and having a very happy time.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at it, Zhou Ziyu was not sitting as upright as before at this time, holding a doll that was almost as big as her upper body, and the whole person was attached to it.

Chi Jingyuan, who was watching it, couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"How do you know I like dogs?"

After playing happily for a while, Zhou Ziyu hugged it tightly, looked at it again, and asked with flashing eyes.

She is really super happy at this moment, she really likes this gift, she can't wait to hold it all the time, and at the same time, she is also very curious about how Chi Jingyuan can give such a thoughtful gift.

"Because you've said it many times before."

"Do you like dogs too?"

"Don't like it?"

"Why? The dog is so cute. ”

"Because of trouble."

Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at the two human faces and dog faces that were close at hand, and always felt that the expressions of the two were really similar, especially if Zhou Ziyu also wore black-framed glasses.

After glancing back, he added:

"It's stupid."

……

"Bang."

Chi Jingyuan put on a mask and hat and closed the door and got out of the car, and took Zhou Ziyu, who was reluctant to put down the dog doll, and walked ahead along the street that had been quiet.

When approaching the dormitory, probably because he was really happy that he didn't want to go back at this time, Chi Jingyuan saw that Zhou Ziyu was a little reluctant, thinking about her recent pressure and entanglement, after looking at the time, he proposed to go out for a walk, and after being readily agreed, he found a secluded alleyway near their dormitory and stopped, and casually walked towards the neighborhood.

The economy is not very good, so that the Jiangbei side is much more deserted than the Jiangnan after the night, at least at this time, these streets are not very late, there are no people walking, the decoration on both sides of the roadway looks very ordinary storefronts have been closed for the most part, and there are only two people walking around on the quiet road.

"Thank you."

Chi Jingyuan, who was observing the surrounding situation, suddenly heard a thank you from the side, he looked over, this girl was looking down at the road, and followed him step by step.

Chi Jingyuan just nodded and didn't speak.

I don't know if she's thanking for a gift or tonight's experience.

Maybe it's both.

Walking out of the remote alleyway, the view suddenly opens up after the shade of the trees that used to shroud your head disappears, and the sky becomes wider against the backdrop of the various low-rise buildings around you.

"Why aren't there any stars tonight?" Zhou Ziyu glanced up at the night sky around him, feeling a little disappointed.

Originally, she thought that this scene at this time was very similar to the one filmed in the idol drama, very beautiful, but unfortunately when she looked up, it was pitch black, which suddenly pulled her back to reality from the fantasy just now.

"It's hard to see the stars in the city."

"It's a pity ......"

However, the girl's little sentimentality was exchanged for the merciless ridicule of the person next to her: "You have watched too many TV series? Do you want to find a house tower so that you can sit on it and enjoy the moon? ”

"Just go!" Zhou Ziyu was not to be outdone, and replied stubbornly.

But neither of them took it seriously, you said a word to me, while talking, while walking slowly.

"How is your relationship with those trainees now?"

After walking for a while, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be concerned, and also asked with some curiosity.

"Well, except for being a little familiar with Sister Yu Dingyan and Lin Nalian because of the grouping, the relationship with Minying is better, and the rest is average......"

Zhou Ziyu replied after thinking about it for a while, and finally thought of something, adding: "In addition, I have been in contact with Mina a little more recently...... Do you remember Mina? It's the neon trainee. ”

"yes, yes."

Chi Jingyuan responded.

Nonsense, even if the contact is not much, it is not very familiar, but at least the contact information is exchanged, and you can chat casually every few days, although most of the time it is just a simple hello, or casually say some non-nutritious topics, send some expressions and the like.

"Remember...... I've been communicating a little bit more with Mina lately, and I feel like she's pretty good and ...... It's also very good-looking, she was very famous among the trainees before, although she hasn't been here for a long time, but she is a very famous beautiful girl. ”

"But do you think she's not as good-looking as you?" Chi Jingyuan saw through Zhou Ziyu's thoughts at a glance, because of the jealousy and self-esteem of the little girl, being able to praise another girl of the same age so generously is nothing more than feeling better looking in his heart.

"Hey, hey."

Zhou Ziyu, who was directly broken, laughed twice with some embarrassment, and did not deny it in front of Chi Jingyuan.

Seeing her a little silly and a little scared smile, Chi Jingyuan sighed: "People may think the same way." ”

Zhou Ziyu didn't care, and continued: "But although I have chatted a few times, I don't have a lot of exchanges, but I feel that she is quite a lonely person, and she usually only talks to Sana who comes from neon...... Do you remember sana......"

"She only talks to Sana, and when Sana is not there, she stays there by herself, and a few days ago we were filming the team building activity of "Sixteen", and when I took a break in the middle, I found that she was all by herself, and she didn't talk much when she wasn't filming, and she looked quite lonely."

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but glance at her when he heard this, he hadn't heard Mingjingnan mention this, except for that time when he talked about negative emotions, every time he talked on the mobile phone, Mingjingnan's girl showed a very normal and positive appearance, but she didn't expect that in Zhou Ziyu's mouth, she didn't like to contact with other people, and she stayed there by herself when her friends weren't there, and she was very lonely.

Interesting.

He asked, "Then you didn't go to say hello and talk?" ”

"......" Zhou Ziyu shook his head and didn't say why.

Chi Jingyuan seemed to understand a little, nodded and didn't ask again, and took the initiative to talk about other topics.

The two didn't go too far, after all, the time was not too early, Zhou Ziyu had to go back to the dormitory later, and after a short circle, he returned to the place where the car was parked, and restarted to send her to the dormitory, watching her close the door, came out and hugged the stupid dog doll tightly, a little reluctant to say goodbye, Chi Jingyuan asked casually: "When will your mother come?" ”

"She's the day after tomorrow." Zhou Ziyu blinked.

"Well, then have a good meal with your mother and relax."

Ji Jingyuan didn't say much, nodded as a goodbye, and when he was about to open the door and sit in, he seemed to remember something, and frowned again: "By the way, I found that your eyes are quite big, but why do you always squint when you laugh, what bad habit is it that you are ugly?" ”

After complaining, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, and finally left the sentence "Go back quickly, let's go" and sat in the driver's seat, started the car and left.

His eyes extended with the white Mercedes in the distance, and it was not until the car turned and drove into the main road that he disappeared, Zhou Ziyu retracted his gaze, held the doll, kicked the ground with his foot, and pouted angrily:

"Aren't you ...... too"

…………

When he was still driving on the road, he received a selfie from Zhou Ziyu and the doll dog, in which she and the dog were face to face together, smiling very happily, it seems that it is estimated that there may be multiple companions when they sleep at night in the future.

After returning to the dormitory, the other members were still recording the show and did not come back, Ji Jingyuan played the game until the early hours of the morning before he heard the sound of opening the door and complaining tiredly, he was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to buy some takeout supper, which quickly erased the guilt in his heart.

Early the next morning, the nine EXO people followed the company's team and boarded the flight to Taipei.

“XO！ XO！ ”

"Chanyeol! Sehoon! ”

"Yuan, look at it a little, Chi Jingyuan, Jingyuan! Take a look this way! ”

"Ahhh......hh

When I left the airport, there were many fans and media waiting outside, and as soon as I showed my face, it caused a burst of screams and chases.

EXO has been active here in the bend when he first debuted, and has been developing the market here over the years, and also appeared at the New Year's Eve party here last year, both in terms of popularity and popularity, it is one of the highest among all Kpop artists, and has a considerable group of loyal fans.

Especially after several returns this year, EXO's momentum in the entire Asian region has skyrocketed a notch, especially in terms of forced style, which has faintly surpassed ordinary idol groups.

Ji Jingyuan smiled and waved at the few fans and reporters who were frantically shouting his name over there, and then walked out quickly under the escort of the assistant and got into the arranged bus.

Not long after they landed, many local media outlets published reports one after another, and most of them used adjectives such as "Asia", "world-class", "first" and "super popular" as EXO's footnotes.

The most interesting thing is that recently, especially after the sale of performance tickets, it has become popular among many young people to post EXO's concert ticket stubs on their SNS, and there are a lot of jealous and hateful messages under each picture, as if as long as you can grab the tickets and go to EXO's concert, it is a very enviable thing.

Among them, there are also quite famous artists here, who expressed their identity as Aili, and I don't know where to get five tickets, Po on his SNS, and it also caused a lot of controversy, many fans who didn't grab the tickets questioned his purchase channels, saying that the webpage was sold out instantly and couldn't grab it at all, why could he get 5, it must be that there is something internal and the ticket purchase website is tired of.

In the past two years, when there were events and performances here, it was very popular, but it didn't come to this point.

And the recent waves also prove that EXO is now better than before, as well as the rapid growth of popularity and status.

When EXO had already arrived at the bend, stayed at the Taipei Hotel, and began to prepare for his performance after a short rest, here on the peninsula, in the second week of June, "M! Countdown" is also playing on time as scheduled, and has been carried out to the last place to present the award.

One of today's alternates, all five members of BIGBANG in red hip-hop leather suits, stood on the right side of the stage, their expressions and eyes looking at the monitor in front of them together.

The first row on the right side of the stage was empty, and another alternate EXO was absent from today's song due to an overseas trip, but their place was still given up until the second row.

Among the four MCs in the middle, Kim Ki-fan and bambam are holding the microphone, announcing the final scores of the two combinations today:

"Broadcast scores, "boy with luv" EXO 5000 VS "bangbangbang" bigbang 4570."

"Record sales score, "boy with luv" EXO 1500 VS "bangbangbang" bigbang 160."

“…… Preference score 1000 VS 1000."

"Social Media Score 1500 VS 1400."

"Mnet Broadcast Score 1000 VS 1000."

One data after another came out, whether it was the fans on the scene, the audience watching the live broadcast, and even the idols and MCs on the stage, they all began to be surprised.

Except for the huge difference in sales scores, all the other scores are quite close to each other, and BIGBANG has a perfect score in several categories, and this score can be placed in the last place in almost any other song.

It's just a pity that today's EXO seems to be stronger.

Their scores for all items are full marks......

They haven't arrived yet.

And the intonation and voice of the two MCs also sound very interesting, Kim Ki-fan has a good relationship with EXO as a member of Shinee, and he spoke very quickly when he revealed the score, and he was still a little excited to listen to.

Bambam, on the other hand, was weak, and every sentence sounded unrefreshed, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"Finally, add in today's live SMS voting scores, and the final result is......

“EXO 11000 VS bigbang 9134.”

"One of the glorious ones today is, EXO! Rough Kamida! ”

Although the main owner was not there, after the silver ribbon floated down, everyone on the field still seemed to be excited to celebrate EXO, and Kim Ki-fan took a trophy from bambam's hand: "Congratulations XO I will definitely transfer the trophy to them when I go back." ”

Seeing this result, Bambam smiled a little reluctantly, and the originally handsome orange hairstyle on his head seemed to have lost some of its luster at this time.

The same is true for the five members of BIGBANG next to them, but it may be because Choi Seung-hyun's emoji was widely used and ridiculed by Ellie and passers-by, but this time they have increased their memory and paid special attention to their expression management, and at this time, in the expectant gaze of countless viewers, they did not show a controversial expression, but just squeezed out a senior smile and clapped their hands to congratulate.

After all, even if it is a Saint Seiya, he will not fall under the same trick twice.

But even so, there are still countless people who are crazy about the thoughts in the minds of these people, and some people are even close to writing a book in their minds at this time.

Because EXO didn't show up and there was no testimonial, all the artists soon walked off the stage, waited at the backstage entrance for a few minutes, thanked the PD of the program team and all the staff, and then returned to their lounges.

In BIGBANG's lounge, Choi Seung-hyun kicked a small stool at the door and almost hit an assistant standing by the wall.

The stool slammed against the white wall, made a muffled thud, and then bounced back to the ground, and after rolling twice in a row, it lay sideways and squeaked and moaned.

And the angry scolding that had been suppressed for a long time also sounded:

"Assi......"
