Chapter 17: The Ten Rings

"The 2016 Idol Games Spring Festival Special Archery Tournament is now being held, and the archery that was originally very popular has been changed to mixed archery this year...... Now it's the final final. ”

"The super trendy EXO, and the refreshing glamorous girl group redvelvet......"

"Ahhh......h

"Against the recently hot rookie girl group twice, and her boyfriend idol GOT7!"

Four people on each side stood on the left and right sides of the temporary host, and the host loudly introduced the two groups of teams participating in the finals, but the contrast of popularity between the two was slightly obvious, and the cheering voices could easily hear the difference.

Both groups posed for the camera, and on the SM side, Ji Jingyuan and Oh Se-hoon stood behind Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan, and they all laughed together and compared scissorhands.

On JYP's side, there were four people side by side, giving a decent thumbs up, and Meijing Nan looked serious at first, but he laughed a little embarrassed when he held it up.

"Mixed archery teams consist of two boys and two girls in each team, with girls shooting two arrows and boys shooting three arrows alternately......"

With the introduction of the MC's rules, after the simple opening, both sides were ready, Bae Joo-hyun was the first to play with a bow, Ji Jingyuan and the three of them sat in the position of the players, and Jiang Shiqi and Kim Yilin, who were sitting behind them, also shouted 'fighting' at Bae Joo-hyun.

On the other side, the first to play was Myjee Nam, who stood parallel to Bae Joo-hyun, standing straight with a bow, her eyes drooping and looking at the ground, while except for Kim Da-hyun sitting in the player seat, all the other seven people came over and stood behind the seats, a little nervously supporting.

"First of all, the female players will face each other, and the first to play is Irenexi from redvelvet, which is also her first time participating in archery, wow, the expression is really sincere."

"The posture looks really standard, the expression is very serious, and it feels like all the power is gathered in the body......"

Bae Joo-hyun's expression looked a little serious, and he exhaled softly.

Chi Jingyuan sat behind him, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the back of his daughter-in-law and the golden ponytail tied behind her head, as if he also felt the seriousness of the young lady, but his attention was a little unable to focus on the game at this time, but he remembered other things......

Sure enough, it still looks a little shorter in flat shoes.

"Nine Rings."

"Hey Yigu, it's really powerful, it's very stable."

I don't know if I met twice and aroused the sense of victory, or I wanted to show it in front of my boyfriend, this round of Bae Joo-hyun's performance was very good, and he almost hit the bull's-eye with an arrow, which caused the audience and MC to be amazed.

The young lady laughed when she saw the results, and looked back at her teammates behind her with a little pride, before Chi Jingyuan could move, Sun Shengwan directly gave a greasy look to the past, with a 'Wow Oni, you are really amazing' expression.

Ji Jingyuan almost laughed out loud when he saw it, and quickly controlled his expression, and then applauded Bae Joo-hyun and cheered him up.

Next came Minami's turn, her standing posture was also very standard, blue tracksuit with an orange pleated skirt for archery, and white calf socks wrapped around her calves, with a graceful arc with the neon girl's signature small outer curve.

Chi Jingyuan found that the girl's expression in archery was very interesting, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were all narrowed into a slit in order to aim for two months, and the degree of squinting was like falling asleep, which made Chi Jingyuan wonder if she could see where the target was. Minami Nai's expression not only dispelled the original sense of seriousness and seriousness, but also showed a sense of contrasting funnyness.

She looked serious......

"Nine rings, wow, the results of the first round on both sides are very good, all of them are nine rings!"

"It's exciting!"

Mingjing Nan seems to be very proficient in movements, and I feel that I have also practiced or played before, and the results of the first arrow are very good, and I also shot 9 rings with Bae Joo-hyun.

"Good!"

Before Nakai Nan could move, Ji Jingyuan seemed to hear an excited cheer from the crowd of TWICE, feeling even more excited than the contestants, and he didn't hear who it was.

And Najing Nan's serious expression just now was immediately swept away after seeing the results, the corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled happily all of a sudden, his eyes didn't squint, he bent directly into a crescent moon, turned around and raised his hand to the members of TWICE who were shouting enthusiastically and the other three teammates to ask for credit, and couldn't help jumping on the spot a few times happily, with the braid that was also simply tied with a rubber band on the back of his head.

I felt like it should be under a lot of pressure just now, but now Nai Nan looks a lot more lively all of a sudden.

After the celebration, the two went on the next round, and the interesting thing is that this round Bae Joo-hyun and Mingjing Nam also shot an eight-ring.

Both of them glanced at each other in surprise when the results came out, then smiled at each other, and returned to their positions with bows in the greeting of their teammates.

"Great!" Seeing the corners of Pei Zhuhyun's mouth curled over, Ji Jingyuan gently applauded to welcome the return of his daughter-in-law, and then he stood up and moved his head to prepare for the game.

"Come on!" The young lady sighed sweetly.

Mingjing Nan unexpectedly shot accurately, and the two sides unexpectedly tied in the first round, and the two sides jumped wildly to celebrate, and Lin Nalian's wanton voice came...... Because the voice was a bit loud, Chi Jingyuan finally heard who it was...... Zhou Ziyu also sneaked a few glances, but he didn't know what it meant.

Ji Jingyuan felt like they were going to win.

It's too arrogant......

He stood on the field and glanced over there, turned his head and smiled lightly, and nodded to Duan Yien, who was also on the field.

I hope you can still be so happy and loud after this round......

"Hey Yigu, every time I see Yuan on the archery range, I feel very excited, he hasn't shot empty since he participated in the "Even-Games", right? It seems like all of them are ten rings? ”

"I don't think so, I attracted attention when I first participated, but he hasn't been here for the last two years, and I don't know if it will interrupt his record when he rejoins this year."

"Even though I believe in Yuanxi's strength, I still look forward to it every time he prepares to shoot, and I believe the audience is in the same mood as me......

As soon as Ji Jingyuan appeared in the finals, several people on the stage began to introduce and praise him, and they all knew that EXO's participation in archery was one of the biggest gimmicks and highlights of this "Occasional Games".

At the referee's signal, Ji Jingyuan exhaled softly, raised his bow and began to aim, and at this moment, his camera appeared on the big screen in the venue, and the fans in the audience immediately heard a mountain of screams, mixed with enthusiastic cheers and crazy shouting of his name, and many other spectators also shouted, making the entire stadium fall into a boil, and the referee's voice was covered so that the game fell into a short interruption

β€œXO! XO! XO!”

β€œYuan! Yuan! Hey! ”

The sudden sound startled Ji Jingyuan, and the bow he raised was put down again, and after coming back to his senses, he squeezed out a smile and waved his hand to the fans on the stage.

"Oh, Yuanxi's popularity is really ......" Several MCs on the commentary stage glanced at each other, and Li Huili couldn't help but sigh when he heard this movement.

Although she has suddenly exploded recently, she is still much worse than the male TOP in front of her in all aspects, especially as an idol, she has hardly experienced this kind of crazy support and faulty popularity.

The idols who were watching around were also shocked, especially as his opponents, the nearest Mingjing Nan and Kim Daxian, and the two behind him were the most clearly understood, listening to the excited shouts of the fans in the field, and looked around with complicated and envious eyes.

Duan Yien, who was also on the field and played as an opponent, was a little embarrassed at this time, and he didn't know what to feel when holding the bow, so he couldn't help but turn around after hesitating for a few seconds, wanting to find some comfort from the members and the junior sister group, but it turned out that the group of people were looking in the direction of the other side.

"It's amazing, even EXO is a bit exaggerated, I think it's Jingyuan......" Later, Sun Shengwan whispered in Pei Zhuhyun's ear, while Pei Zhuhyun nodded, looking at the back of the male in front of him with bright eyes, and he was a little proud in his heart.

"It seems that the audience is really looking forward to Yuanxi's performance." After the cheers subsided a little, Jeon Hyun Mao quickly opened his mouth to play a round, and the referee quickly announced the start of the game.

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and looked relaxed, his body stretched out beautifully, and he opened the bow very beautifully, his right eye stared at the arrow target in front of him slightly, and after aiming at a very fast speed, he directly released the string in his hand, and with a muffled sound, the arrow was inserted straight into the position a little above the camera in the center of the arrow target.

He didn't even have to look to know where he had shot.

"10 rings."

As soon as the results were reported, the cheerleaders in the rear, such as Park Chanyeol, Kim Yilin, and Jiang Shiqi, immediately jumped up excitedly, and the fans in the surrounding stands cheered excitedly again.

Whether it is EXO fans or not, many people have to admit that the feeling of watching Chi Jingyuan archery is different from others, whether it is this relaxed energy, or handsome demeanor and posture, as well as convincing results, each of which makes the audience enjoy watching it very much.

It's no wonder that "Occasional Games" invites him every time, and as long as he participates in the broadcast, it will become a hot search.

Then it was Duan Yien's turn, he was obviously disturbed by Chi Jingyuan's results, as well as external factors, although his movements were also very standard, it seemed that he had practiced before, but this time he aimed at it for a long time before he hesitated to make a move.

"6 rings!"

The results were obviously a little disappointed for him, and the cheers around him also fell.

Immediately after that, the two men shot two more arrows each.

"Ten rings." "Nine Rings."

"Ten rings." "4 rings."

Chi Jingyuan's stable level of ten rings put a lot of pressure on his opponent, and the three arrows directly opened up a significant gap between the two sides, and everyone could see that this round on both sides was not a grade at all.

This time, he walked off the field, high-fived Wu Shixun gently, and when he sat down with a smile, he really didn't hear some presumptuous celebrations on the side of the twice, and some people who were loud just now were also forced to quiet down due to the situation.

Glancing over there, a group of people were frantically cheering Kim Dahyun and Jackson on, and after a while, Kim Dahyun took a deep breath and walked onto the field with an indomitable momentum.

Originally, Chi Jingyuan thought that with the obvious advantage he pulled out in this round, their group must have won, but when he was exchanging eyes with his female relatives, something happened that surprised him.

Sun Shengwan and Wu Shixun are more talented than one another, and Kim Daxian himself is already very inaccurate, either the fifth ring or the sixth ring, and as a result, she and the other party are half a catty and eight taels, and even the final total is a little lower.

And Wu Shixun is even more powerful, one of the three rounds of arrows is 3 rings, a MISS, which is even more exaggerated than jackson who directly shot empty and is still posing funny, and in the end, the advantages of Chi Jingyuan's play were all smoothed out, and the scores on both sides were the same after ten rounds.

"Oh, that's amazing! After Yuan's three consecutive ten rings, everyone thought that there was no suspense in the game, but in the end, the two teams were evenly divided! It's a deuce! The men's and women's team archery was held for the first time and there was such an epic scene, which was really exciting! ”

Although in fact, both sides shot very funny in the end, but the appearance of this anxious scene also aroused everyone's excitement, whether it was the audience, the surrounding idols, and the commentator MC all made a mess, Quan Xuanmao and several people began to set off the atmosphere loudly: "According to the rules, after ten rounds of scoring, each of the two teams selects a member to shoot the last arrow to decide the final victory!" ”

"So, who are you going to send on both sides?"

Seeing Wu Shixun who came down, Ji Jingyuan was speechless, and looked at him with strange eyes.

He had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to complain, but it was really not appropriate to have too many people around, but in the end he couldn't help but ask sincerely: "Can you shoot a little crooked?" ”

Wu Shixun was obviously embarrassed by his own results, so he sat down in his seat after smiling wryly, and patted him: "Up, it's up to you!" ”

Whether it was Wu Shixun or Bae Joo-hyun, they naturally felt that it must be Ji Jingyuan who would shoot the last arrow.

"Don't, let's see who's over there first, if it's a man, I'll go up." However, Ji Jingyuan didn't agree directly, and after a little tired glance at him, he pouted at Twice: "If it's a woman, I'm a bit of a bully if I go up, and it's not good to win, so let Irene go." ”

"Okay."

A few people nodded, and Bae Joo-hyun didn't object, they didn't really care about winning or losing the game, and the camera had already taken enough.

And Bae Joo-hyun is also quite confident in himself.

The other side.

"Come on, Mina, you'll be able to."

"You're the most accurate of us, don't be nervous, fighting."

The members of TWICE gathered in a circle to sincerely encourage the famous Jingnan, but some of them sighed in their hearts.

Even if it's quite accurate, but how can it be possible to win Chi Jingyuan, who can win him in the ten rings of the earth's light......

After the members responded, Minami Nai walked up with a bow and stood in his position to take a deep breath to soothe his emotions.

She is the representative of TWICE and GOT7.

At this time, everyone in the audience seems to be looking at her, to be honest, she has not been so conspicuous in the group since her debut, and it seems that she has not been the focus of everyone.

I must do a good job!

It's just that...... You probably won't be able to win......

Her heart was a little gloomy, but in fact, she also knew very well that she was not Chi Jingyuan's opponent.

It's just that after seeing that it was not Ji Jingyuan who came out of the other camp, but Bae Joo-hyun, her mind suddenly became lively, and she inexplicably remembered some other things.

"Wow, Yuan didn't go up, both sides sent the female players on the team, mina and Irene......"

"Now the suspense has appeared again, who will win the gold medal in the men's and women's team archery for the first time, I'm really nervous!"

In the loud shouting of the MC, in the cheers of the audience, and under the eager gaze of the members, Minami Nai first took a bow and shot an arrow, and hit the target with a whoosh.

"Nine rings, hey, minaxi shot nine rings in the last arrow, can she help her team win this victory?"

As soon as he saw this result, the MC immediately shouted excitedly, and Lin Nalian and several people in the back also jumped up directly, and the excitement could be felt from afar.

Najing Nan also laughed out loud, his eyes bent, and he squeezed his fist hard.

She glanced at Ji Jingyuan without missing a trace, and then looked at Pei Zhuxun next to her, her lips pursed together, looking nervous.

There are also some expectations.

Bae Joo-hyun's expression was very calm, and before raising the bow, she glanced at Mingjing Nan, who was looking at her, and at the right glance, she seemed to be a little puzzled by the inexplicable victory or defeat of this opponent.

Then she casually glanced at Zhou Ziyu in the twice-sized crowd, and finally glanced back at the place behind her, then raised her bow, and after aiming seriously, she shot out:

After a burst of exclamations, the MC's announcement was heard:

"Ten Rings!"

…………

"Let's go first......"

The day's recording was finally completed, Ji Jingyuan changed his clothes, and after saying goodbye to his acquaintances Zheng Eundi, he followed the members to leave, and when he was about to leave the lounge, he thought of something, and looked back at Twice, who was still packing up not far away, especially Najing Nan, who was sitting there, bowing his head and fiddling with his fingers.

After the girl's previous defeat in the archery competition, the expression on her face froze, and then she forcibly squeezed out a business smile, but the gloom and loss in her eyes were still fresh in his memory.

It's also a little weird.

Obviously, in his impression, this girl's heart of victory and defeat is not very serious, and she is a more introverted and gentle character.

Today I was unexpectedly depressed...... I don't know what other reasons it is, or if Ji Jingyuan still doesn't know her well enough.

Forget it, let's find a chance to say a little hello when the time comes......

After the recording of the Even-time Games ended, just got into the nanny car, Ji Jingyuan and they heard a bad news from their agent and participated in the Even-Games with them, but the eldest brother Kim Min-seok, who was recording the five-a-side indoor football event at another venue, fell down after colliding with other players in the game, and injured his right knee and was helped off the field by other idols on the spot, and now the company has been sent to the hospital.

According to the agent, the results of the examination have come out, and the injury this time is not light, and the plaster has been applied, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for at least a month, even a little longer than the previously injured Kim Jong-in, and even if the recovery is not good, or if there is a second injury, it may even be impossible to catch up with the preparations for EXO's return this time.

Because he was carried out in front of fans, at this time, the outside world has already discussed Kim Min-seok's injury very hotly, especially as a fan of EXO, Aili directly rushed to MBC's "Occasional Games" program group.

They are not brainless, but directly collect detailed information, listing the list of all the artists who have been injured during the competition and recording from the beginning of the "Occasional Games" to this year, and then angrily questioned the program team, obviously "The Occasional Games" is a program with such a high injury rate, but it is not equipped with a special medical team, not even a doctor, the only preparation is only a general universal spray, is it a little too ridiculous, and a little too irresponsible.

This list is quite long, all of them are familiar names that look very convincing, Chi Jingyuan also flipped through it on the car back to the city, and even saw Tao's name in it, and his memories flew for a while, and he felt a lot of emotion.

But to be honest, the behavior of fans is not obvious, and the weight between idols and TV stations and even the program group is not equal, that is, EXO's popularity is too high, so it will cause so many waves, and those little idols who were not famous before were injured and injured, and no one cared at all.

And this kind of thing, the program team thinks that they are quite innocent, we rent the most standard stadiums, and build the most professional venues, can you blame us for hitting someone and getting injured?

What about the medical team, do you know how much budget a professional medical team has, and it is already very responsible to prepare some drugs and sprays, but I didn't see that we called the hospital for the first time......

Although the repercussions caused were not small, it is not surprising that it will soon die out as the heat dissipates.

And to be honest, Chi Jingyuan actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with the "Occasional Games" program team, whether it is archery or wrestling, it has been protected, and it is even more responsible in the Peninsula variety show......

It's just that in less than half a month, EXO directly lay down two people, and it may even affect the plan of return, and I don't know if it was last year's luck was too smooth, and XO's recent luck after 2016 is really not very good.

After returning to Seoul, Ji Kyung-won and the members went to the hospital to see Kim Min-seok first, this brother has to lie in the hospital for two days before he can go back to the dormitory to rest, but he is in good spirits, and as usual, he happily said that there is nothing wrong, but he is a little worried that it will affect the return of the group.

However, with Ji Kyung-won's understanding of SM, they will definitely adjust the return time according to the situation of Kim Min-seok and Kim Jong-in's reply, 8 people can barely return, and 7 people are impossible.

And the time scheduled for the previous meeting was June, which was very sufficient, even if these two people lay down for a month and then came back, it was still too late, of course, they would definitely have to work overtime at that time.

After the visit, EXO and his party returned to the dormitory.

Although this time there was Bae Joo-hyun, the female parent, who recorded together, and the more familiar twice, added a lot of fun to the process, but the recording of "Idol Games" is a day, and the variety show from early morning to midnight is too energy-consuming, and after returning to the dormitory, the people who participated in the recording quickly fell asleep, and Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun sent a few text messages to each other as usual, and Bae Joo-hyun was obviously tired, and soon said goodnight to each other and fell asleep.

……

The next day, Ji Kyung-won came to the company and was busy all morning, and finally finished the arrangement of "Monster" and several other songs, but when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Kim Tae-yeon's sister.
