Chapter 133: Let's Call It I
"See Nann?"
Zheng Endi looked at him with frowns: "Do you have any regrets?" ”
“……”
Ji Kyung-won, who was eating, paused for a moment and responded to the Busan woman who was staring at him with helpless eyes.
He knew what Zheng Eun meant, in the recent release of Atouch's return previews, Sun Naen's several looks are very good-looking and have become a topic, especially with a light brown side twist hairstyle that looks very eye-catching, as well as a few sets of bohemian-style caftan shirts, as well as blue sailor dresses, etc., and because the summer style shows a much stronger body line than before, it can be called a sentence with white skin and beautiful long legs.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Zheng Endi grinned and added rather narrowly: "I told you that Nan En is still obsessed with fitness, and she will practice whenever she has time...... Do you regret it a little now? ”
Ji Jingyuan blinked, and followed her question for a while.
If you want to say regret, there should be none.
But if you want to say that you don't feel at all, that's not necessarily.
But it's been so long, and the kpop versions have been updated several times, so there's no point in talking about this now.
However, Zheng Endi wants to see him laugh, and this trick is not difficult for him.
"Yes, I regret it."
Chi Jingyuan half-squinted his eyes and nodded, looking very sincere, but although he said so, his expression was completely unrelated to remorse.
"Well, it's boring."
Seeing Ji Jingyuan's expression and tone, Zheng Endi's interest went down all of a sudden, and he waved his hand rather boringly.
With her understanding of Chi Jingyuan, she should have completely denied it if she really regretted it, but if she said it now, she really didn't feel this way.
She didn't really have any idea of matchmaking, she just wanted to see the joke of this pretentious man.
Maybe it's because I haven't chatted so casually for a long time, the two of them are very relaxed and open, and they have drunk a lot of beer, although Chi Jingyuan is not drunk, but he feels that his head is a little hot, and he seems to be a little up, and he seems to have an unprecedented sense of sobriety.
Seeing the disappointed Zheng Endi, Chi Jingyuan laughed and casually pulled the topic to her: "Why do you always care about other people's Naen, don't care about yourself?" ”
"What do I care about? Don't underestimate me, how can I say that I'm also a popular idol now, and there are many people chasing me. ”
It seems that he sensed the meaning of contempt from Chi Jingyuan's tone, and Zheng Endi, who was poked at his self-esteem, immediately changed color as if he had been stepped on his tail, and said in a reasonable tone: "There are people inside and outside the circle, and the words in the circle are all very popular and powerful idols, and they are all very handsome... What kind of eyes do you have...... Indeed, a little worse than you may be. ”
"Almost?"
"Damn me, I'm ...... It's a lot worse. ”
was a little embarrassed by Chi Jingyuan's eyes that saw through everything, and after holding back for a long time, Zheng En waved his hand to himself, then sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured it proudly, his expression became a lot more serious: "Have you tried to touch it...... But honestly, I didn't feel anything, just, it was boring. ”
She took another sip, and she didn't know what she remembered: "You know, I pay more attention to the combination and my own development than in love, and who earns so much like you doesn't care about this, I just paid off the money I owe at home not long ago, and now although I don't owe any debt, there is still a sense of urgency, so after thinking about it, I still think that career is more important." ”
"Career......
Zheng Endi obviously felt something and said something in his heart, Ji Jingyuan listened carefully and didn't interject, but when he heard the last sentence, his expression couldn't help but become a little weird, as if he thought of someone.
"Is there anything wrong with attaching importance to your career, why do you have this expression?" Zheng Endi looked a little dissatisfied.
"No, of course it's right...... I just accidentally remembered a friend. ”
"Who? Look at your expression so strange......" She looked at Ji Jingyuan's face, held her eyes for a while, and then tried to guess: "It can't be someone you're pursuing, or someone you're dating, right?" ”
She suddenly became very interested, so she stopped drinking, leaned forward with her hands on the table, and stared at each other with sparkling eyes.
“……”
Ji Jingyuan didn't deny or admit it, he just shrugged his shoulders with his hands slumped, although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was already obvious.
He thought of Bae Joo-hyun.
This sister has always been more restrained in her feelings, but at the end of last year, because of a song, she may have been stimulated, and finally she couldn't hold back the surging emotions in her heart and took the initiative to express her good feelings, and now she and Chi Jingyuan are actually very close, and there have been several intimate physical contacts, and sometimes the mode of getting along looks not much different from the couples who are dating.
Many members of EXO, Kim Taeyeon, the relatives of Ji Kyung-won, and even some staff members of "Music Bank" probably have already decided that these two are boyfriend and girlfriend and are dating.
But in fact, both of them know very well that they are not.
Bae Joo-hyun, as an older female idol who debuted, knows very well that this opportunity is not easy to come by, Ji Jingyuan knows that she is a very ambitious person, and has always regarded red velvet and her career as the top priority, and she often mentions her combination when chatting with the two in private, although she will not show it outside, but in fact, she is often happy because of the increase in fans and popularity, and she will also be lost and anxious because of the poor development.
As a captain at the same time, he should not want to be the first member of the group to fall in love, so he has not pierced that membrane until now.
Because once exposed, this kind of thing is a devastating blow to any girl group and female idol who is on the rise.
Chi Jingyuan is actually not in a hurry, and he has no opinion on this, but he feels that the relationship is already like this, and the young lady seems to have a feeling of deceiving herself by doing this.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]
Even he was still thinking that it might be because Bae Joo-hyun knew about the existence of Zheng Xiujing, Bae Xiuzhi and the like, and there was a gap in his heart.
Or are you waiting for him to take the initiative?
I don't know.
As a good relative who knows Chi Jingyuan very well, Zheng Endi knew that he guessed correctly when he looked at him, and then saw that he showed a noncommittal expression, as if he understood something from it, and she didn't know why there was a rush of anger in her heart, she didn't ask who this object was, but with a slightly drunk breath, she looked at him and said seriously:
"I think that's right, the love in the idol world is very unreliable in itself, and I fell in love with the right eye at once, and then I couldn't see each other because of the wrong schedule, maybe I broke up in a few months, I've seen and heard too many examples of this...... I'm sure you've seen a lot of it, and I guess you've experienced a lot of it yourself......"
"People don't know how long they can really date you...... So except for those love brains, in my opinion, anyone should focus on their careers...... Unless you have a deep emotional foundation, or you really like it, you can't control it......"
"I didn't say anything, why are you so serious all of a sudden?"
Seeing Zheng Endi's solemn appearance, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that he had been inexplicably affected.
He took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and leaned over: "I think it's good to be ambitious, I know what I should do the most, and there is a different kind of charm in my serious and persistent appearance." ”
But it's even better if you're both ambitious and can't help it because you like it too much.
He didn't say the last sentence.
"You've said everything."
Zheng Endi glanced at Chi Jingyuan angrily, then touched a glass with him, drank a glass of beer directly in one sip, sighed comfortably, and then his expression relaxed again, remembering what Chi Jingyuan just said, he pursed his lips and shook his head: "Speaking of which, don't look at Nan En's usual appearance as a bit of an iron-walled girl, in fact, in my opinion, she is a bit of a love brain...... Regret go for you. ”
"Didn't I say it, I regret it!"
"The devil believes it...... Hm, I drank a little too much today...... By the way, the first stage of our return to "Music Bank" on the 17th, you were MC that day, right? ”
"It's a pity that for our concert on the 18th, I will fly to the mainland on the 17th, and there will be an event on the same day."
"Absent again? How many times have you been absent? Is this still a fixed mc? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just two ......"
After a happy toast, Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Endi, who were already a little drunk, drank the last glass of wine, and after cleaning up their things, they ended today's family reunion.
Coming out of the air-conditioned box filled with the smell of wine and vegetables, standing at the door and feeling the stuffy environment around him, listening to the sound of cicadas and cars, Chi Jingyuan only felt a kind of reality that returned from the unreal to reality.
"Bye."
I was called by Zheng Endi before, and the assistant was already waiting at the door, Ji Jingyuan watched her stumble into the car and helped her, and then the two waved goodbye to each other through the window.
Looking at the back of the nanny car in the distance, he stood there and shook his head, and exhaled a long breath.
Hmm, I really had a comfortable chat today, and there are really few relatives in the circle who can talk so casually, and there are really few Chi Jingyuan.
Then he took a few steps back, got into his nanny car parked next to him, and after saying hello to his assistant Cui Zhichang, the car drove in the direction of the dormitory, while Chi Jingyuan sat in the back by the window, opened the window, and enjoyed the cool evening breeze.
It was close to the wee hours of the morning, and there were not many cars on the streets. Cui Zhichang's car drove very fast, driving rapidly on the Hanjiang River Bridge, the Banpu Bridge in the distance was brightly lit, and the streamer-like night lights were like dancing golden butterflies against the backdrop of the river, and they flew into the distance with the rippling and smart water waves, so that Chi Jingyuan kept staring at it for a long time, and he didn't even notice that he was slowly losing focus.
After looking at the night scene silently for a while, he shook his slightly drunk head again, as if he recalled the conversation with Zheng Endi just now, or maybe he remembered someone, she sighed and reached out to close the window, then took out the mobile phone next to her, flipped through the address book, found the name and dialed it.
The sound of the dial sounded a bit long at this point, and it rang several times before it was connected.
“…… Whew......"
“…… Why are you calling me so late? ”
First, there was a gasping sound of snorting close to the earpiece, and then it was followed by Bae Joo-hyun's low, crisp and soft voice, which sounded a little curious in his tone, and seemed to contain a hint of happiness.
"Because ......"
There was a familiar voice in his ears, and as soon as he heard it, he estimated that this sister got up from the bed quickly after seeing the call, stepped on her slippers and ran to the balcony to close the door, and squatted there to answer the phone.
Chi Jingyuan also couldn't help laughing, he leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes were tilted to face the roof of the car, his mobile phone was placed in his ear, and he said slowly: "Suddenly, I really want to hear you sing." ”
"Did you drink?"
Bae Joo-hyun immediately guessed something through the difference in tone and rhythm of Ji Jingyuan's speech, but she didn't say anything more after asking reflexively, and didn't ask why she was drinking or who she was with, she just smiled a little, and replied in a somewhat greasy tone: "You, what do you want to hear?" ”
Then before Chi Jingyuan could reply, she asked herself: "How about "Let It Be", this is the song I can sing the most." ”
The tone seemed to be a bit ostentatious, like a child who wanted to be praised.
"Haha, I knew you would say that."
As soon as he heard this sentence and the familiar song title, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he continued: "I won't listen to this song today...... I'm too familiar too...... And it feels a little out of line with the current atmosphere. ”
"I want to hear ......"
Both of them fell into silence at this time, and Chi Jingyuan looked at the bridge that had gone away in the distance, and softly broke the tacit silence: "Butterfly Girl." ”
"Okay."
The crisp voice responded, and a few seconds later, a low humming voice from Bae Joo-hyun came from the earpiece, and there was no accompaniment, only a simple human voice, but it was very clear and particularly pleasant:
“……”
"Guide me!"
"Take me to the place where you live~"
"Don't leave my field of vision~"
"Don't disappear even if it's early in the morning~"
“……”
With the sound of soft singing and gentle breathing, the nanny car whizzed through downtown Seoul and drove off into the distance.
……
Strange to say, when listening to Pei Zhuhyun singing in the car, Ji Jingyuan was exceptionally sober, whether it was the tremor of the other party's voice, the beat of the tune, or even the breathing sound in the middle of the interval was heard clearly, and he hummed two sentences together in the chorus.
Bae Joo-hyun seems to be quite familiar with this song, apparently having heard it more than once or twice before.
And the singing is really good, even if it is a pure cappella, it can't amplify the voice, but the singing still has its own taste and feeling, which makes Chi Jingyuan feel that he has underestimated the singing strength of the young lady before.
Don't lose to anything at all.
But as the song ended, when the nanny car was about to drive to its destination, his previous drunkenness and sleepiness immediately hit together, and he felt groggy after a while, and finally said goodbye to Bae Joo-hyun and then went back to the dormitory to wash up quickly, and even paid attention to the ridicule of his roommate, and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.
Mei Zizi slept for a while, and the next morning was noisy by the scheduled mobile phone, and after cleaning up, he rushed to the company, and there was an important thing waiting for him to confirm this morning.
"ai~~~~ Nuna, didn't you say that you don't need onomatopoeia..."
In the music room, Ji Kyung-won read the lyrics that Kim Taeyeon had just handed him in front of him, and he couldn't help but raise his head after reading two sentences, looking at Kim Taeyeon's speechless mouth with anticipation.
I received a call from Kim Tae-yeon when I was having dinner with Jung Eun-di last night, and I knew that the lyrics of this sister had been written, and it just so happened that the two of them had time this morning, so they made an appointment to meet directly in the music room.
It's just that after getting the lyrics, his previous expectations were suddenly a little disappointed, and finally he couldn't help but add: "Is this a habit of girls' generation?" ”
In the lyrics he gave, the last part of the chorus part of the two paragraphs was replaced by inexplicable onomatopoeia, and he had a big head when he saw it.
"Who told you that this is not a concept at all from gee...... But I couldn't think of any suitable words here, so I tried to sing it and replaced it with a note that I thought was good......"
Kim Taeyeon, who was full of anticipation, was a little furious immediately after being denied, and tried to explain it forcefully and forcefully, but in the end, he may also feel a little embarrassed, and his voice slowly weakened.
"Hmm...... Nuna will wait until I finish reading...... These are pretty good sentences. ”
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and continued to look, looking at it, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Petals are falling."
"I used to be miserable, with the faint light, and the slim days gradually faded away."
"Brilliant flying away, in the radiant sky, in a new vision, flying into the distance, I fly higher and higher, unique beauty,"
"The moment you close your eyes."
"Time stands still."
"I'm taking off again."
The last pronunciation of each lyric can be pressed, and it is not simply meaningless forced splicing, each sentence seems to contain an emotion, and it seems to hide a story.
Ji Kyung-won suddenly remembered the notebook that Kim Taeyeon gave him before, and through these lyrics, he easily experienced some heavy and timeless life memories and mental journeys of Kim Taeyeon.
"It's really good." He spoke again and looked up at the other party seriously.
"Hahaha." was a little embarrassed to be praised, but more of a surprise and excitement was recognized, Kim Taeyeon held back twice, but still didn't hold back a frowning laugh.
Although she wrote very carefully and incorporated a lot of her real experiences and feelings, to be honest, she didn't have much confidence, and she didn't expect Chi Jingyuan to be so satisfied.
"It's very powerful, it's worthy of Nuna's life track......"
Chi Jingyuan looked at the sister who was getting rid of it in surprise, and then he also cheered up, looked at the lyrics and thought seriously.
And Kim Taeyeon didn't bother him, she sat on the side and watched with him.
After singing silently a few times into the song, after thinking about it for a while, he picked up the pen and pointed to the score and said: "The lyrics of the last paragraph are really great, just change it a little bit, for the sake of rhyme and the whole, replace some Korean with English, and at the same time delete some superfluous words, you can use it directly......"
"And then there are these few sentences, although they are quite interesting, but they are not very good in the lyrics, and I think they should be revised......"
"Something like this." Ji Kyung-won made a virtual stroke with a pen, and Kim Taeyeon leaned over and looked intently: "I want to get back the dream that I have forgotten." ”
"The word is a little too straightforward, the tone and style of this song have almost been determined, it is not an ordinary saliva song at all, it needs to be more romantic, more touching lyrics, I think ......"
He pursed his lips and muttered for a while, then took out another piece of A4 paper from the side, and wrote as he spoke: What do you think of changing it to 'The dream that was once forgotten, my heart will redraw it'? ”
"Feeling...... Much better! ”
Kim Taeyeon stared carefully at the words written by Ji Jingyuan, and silently experienced it in her heart, then raised her head and nodded her head vigorously.
"That's fine...... And then there was the phrase, 'The voices that kept coming around me' were changed to 'Words like raindrops falling, tightly wrapping around me'......'"
"Great!"
"Don't be happy yet, let's try to sing ......"
The quality of the lyrics written by Kim Taeyeon is beyond Ji Kyungwon's imagination, and a large number of them can be used directly, although some of the other words may not be perfect, but the feelings and emotions are already in place, and they can be used almost with just a few modifications.
The two of them focused on the side from beginning to end, and modified a few words and phrases that were not very suitable, so that the word score suddenly took on a new look.
Then came the most important chorus, that is, the onomatopoeia used by Kim Taeyeon at the beginning.
"Actually...... I don't think onomatopoeia is needed here. ”
Chi Jingyuan stared at the lyrics and sang a few words softly, as if he had found a feeling: "Nuna, you see ......"
Taeyeon's head was so close that it almost blocked Ji Kyung-won's view.
Chi Jingyuan, who was in a state of work, was extremely serious, he didn't care about the smell of hair, he took a pen and gently crossed out those ridiculous onomatopoeias, and said:
"In this sentence, change the Korean word for 'I' at the end to English, replace it with 'i', and then don't add other words, and directly drag the sound of 'i' as the lyrics later."
"The other two sentences are the same, changing 'fly' to 'fly' and 'sky' to 'sky', which is still a ......long ending."
Ji Kyung-won's pen wrote and drew on it, and finally handed the lyrics to Kim Taeyeon: "Then try to sing?" ”
“i~~~~~~”
Kim Taeyeon, the score of this song, should have been sung countless times by heart, and immediately sang it with the newly changed lyrics after hearing it.
Just after singing one sentence, both of their eyes lit up.
The effect is really good, much better than the previous forced rhyme in Korean, and the few foley letters she wrote on the snake, and it hasn't changed the meaning of the original lyrics.
"That's it, just use this!"
Kim Taeyeon immediately took out the demeanor of the eldest sister, and with a wave of her little hand, she wanted to make sure that she was more than a substitute.
“ok.”
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and gestured, this kind of tacit understanding and inspiration combined with the feeling of work, it is really good.
And then there was this ......"
“……”
The two have been busy for a morning since they met in the morning, and the entire lyrics have been revised and revised, and in the end, the two stretched out together and exhaled a long breath, Ji Jingyuan folded the lyrics in his hand, bumped them on the table and sorted them out, and looked at Kim Taeyeon next to him with a smile:
"The words of the rest of the rap stage have not been perfected, but I should be about the same when I go back and change it, before I specifically cut the rap paragraph of this song a little, there is not a lot of it itself, and it doesn't take much time."
"Then the lyrics and lyrics of this song can be said to be almost completed, and after the meeting with Mr. Li Xiuman, they can send it to the musician to arrange and tape, and then the progress of the album will be accelerated, but ......
He paused for a moment and pointed to the lyric sheet in front of him: "But the title song of this song hasn't been named yet, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Name?"
This question seemed to be asked by Kim Taeyeon, and she opened her mouth and froze, as if she was lost in thoughts and memories.
After thinking for a while, her wandering gaze turned to the lyrics in front of her again, looking at those that had been modified, those that had not been modified, written by herself with hard work and feelings, reflecting the lyrics of her own mental journey, slowly her eyes lit up, she bit her lip, raised her head, and her eyes lit up:
"Let's call it 'i'."
