Chapter Eighty-Three: Nothing to Do

"What are you doing?"

Bae Joo-hyun's text messages are very common inquiries, and Ji Jingyuan is also used to starting like this with his daughter-in-law.

He typed quickly, replying:

"I'm having dinner with friends."

"Do you want to come out later?"

Because EXO will have a holiday tomorrow, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun have made an appointment to meet in the evening.

"What do you say (kiss)"

"Then you'll tell me when you're there...... If you're drinking, don't drive anymore. ”

Seeing the last word of advice, Chi Jingyuan smiled and put the phone back in his pocket, picked up the knife and fork again, and continued to eat seamlessly.

"Girlfriend?" Zheng Xiujing immediately understood something when she saw Chi Jingyuan's expression, and asked knowingly after glancing at him.

"Uh-huh." He shrugged.

Zheng Xiujing gently stirred the thick soup in front of her, the stainless steel iron spoon kept rotating in the bowl, the speed was getting slower and slower, and the next second she suddenly stopped the movement in her hand, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, blew it and fed it into her mouth, and after taking a sip of satisfaction, she looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled: "...... New? Or did you not break up before? ”

"Same as you think." Ji Jingyuan finally came to her action, and laughed along, eating the steak a little roughly, shrugging his shoulders while chewing.

"So long?"

"It's okay."

"Cut ......"

"By the way, how does it feel like you and your third brother making a movie together?"

"Third brother? You say Lay?"

"That's right."

"Why do you call it that?"

"Hmm...... That's what everyone calls him. ”

Zheng Xiujing habitually snorted lightly and didn't say much, and the words became very natural, laughing when she should laugh, laughing when she should be, and scolding when she should be, becoming like an old friend who hasn't seen her for a long time, and there are no temptations and dissatisfaction between words like when they met before, and the obvious awkwardness that wants to start over but is very entangled.

She looked like she had already figured it out.

Although the two have had a close relationship for a while, they have been separated for a long time in the end, and the last time they met was when Zheng Xiujing was an MC at the award ceremony at the beginning of the year, and it has been almost half a year now, and no matter how strong the enthusiasm is, it will be diluted by the rustiness of not seeing each other for a long time.

Today, time has passed, and there is not much of the feeling that the two have when they face each other, although there must be some complaints and regrets in their hearts, but in the end, no one is inseparable from anyone, and actor Zheng also has his own self-esteem, so as not to say that he has always been looked down upon like a resentful woman.

You're excellent, right...... But my actor Zheng is not a dog's tail grass, is it okay to be a heartthrob?

However, she still attaches great importance to this relationship, not to mention the development of some possibilities in the future, just after Zheng Xiuyan left, some care that Ji Jingyuan gave her in the company was already very important.

Feeling the change in Zheng Xiujing's attitude, Ji Jingyuan did not have a sense of loss, but became a lot more relaxed, his movements became free and natural, and the smile on his face became happy.

He actually enjoys this kind of good get-together and then reunites with a smile, which will make getting along and being separated a memory worth remembering. If the two people who were once close become like enemies after separation, although it will not make him feel too guilty, it will always be quite uncomfortable.

Zheng Xiujing, who had been playing with the spoon for a long time, also began to eat, and said while eating, reminiscing: "All shouting like that? How did I not know...... The cooperation is okay, people are big names in the mainland now, and there are a lot of activities, the crew and the director sometimes have to follow his time to design the shooting schedule, follow several assistants in the crew, and there are security guards in and out, which is much more comfortable than on our side, and your treatment is not as good as his...... By the way, Lay still mentions you to us from time to time, and it feels like he still wants to get back on the team. ”

"It's impossible, after enjoying the high-standard treatment and income over there, it's impossible for him to come back to run the trip, and the members won't want to...... But are you very familiar with the third brother? ”

"Of course, I knew him when he was a trainee...... Do you think that everyone is like you, not a trainee and directly parachuted? At that time, the most unfamiliar thing I knew about EXO's debut was you. ”

"I'm really honored to say that."

"Huh...... Shameless. ”

……

"Leaving tomorrow?"

The atmosphere became relaxed from the middle point, and the two of them also ordered a bottle of wine and drank two glasses, and after they were full, they stopped at the elevator entrance of the parking lot, and Chi Jingyuan moved his body a little, turned his head and asked.

"There's no hurry, tomorrow and Ernie will stay with them for another day, and the 24th will fly over to join the group." Zheng Xiujing was wearing a mask and carrying a bag, looking quite mature: "But there are still a lot of things to do with the group's concerts, and it is estimated that they will come back often when the time comes." ”

"The development of actor Zheng is really good, and the film appointments have been received to Xia Guo." Ji Jingyuan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I hope that the next time we meet, you will become such a successful idol actor as Yun'er's predecessors." ”

"Snort...... Then I'll go first. Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but glance at him, shook off her hair, waved goodbye and walked out on high heels.

"Bye-bye."

After watching her back disappear from sight, Ji Jingyuan laughed, took out his mobile phone and dialed it out.

…………

In an underground parking lot near the red velvet dormitory in JB District, in the back seat of the nanny car tightly sealed with black glass film, Ji Jingyuan is lying lazily, his head resting on Bae Joo-hyun's slippery and fragrant thighs, his eyes closed, and he is enjoying the gentle massage of the girl's tender fingers on his forehead and temples.

He drove to the date with Zheng Xiujing just now, but he drank a little wine during dinner, although he didn't have much head and was relatively sober, but he paid attention to the code of conduct, and Chi Jingyuan, who had been specially reminded by his daughter-in-law, did not continue to drive, but directly called Cui Zhichang to drive the nanny car over and pick him up, and when he got here, he gave him the key and asked him to go to the hotel where to drive Chi Jingyuan's car back to the dormitory.

It didn't take a few minutes to wait for Pei Zhuhyun, who was dressed in disguise, and after getting tired of kissing his daughter in the car for a while, Ji Jingyuan, who was quite energetic when he was eating just now, felt that the fatigue of the day slowly surged up from his body and became less energetic, and Pei Zhuhyun, who was seen, took the initiative to help him rub it to relieve it, and Ji Jingyuan immediately obediently lay on the young lady's lap and enjoyed it.

Although there were no lights in the car at this time, Pei Zhuhyun still rubbed his head very seriously with the parking lot lights that came in through the blurred glass, and from time to time imitated the technique that he didn't know which show he saw, he

Although it is not very professional, but with the rich fragrance on his body, as well as the smooth and smooth thighs exposed by wearing shorts, he still enjoyed Ji Jingyuan a lot and almost fell asleep.

Brushing his hand over the man's jawline without missing a trace, Bae Joo-hyun chuckled, lowered his head and opened his eyes, carefully observed his side face without blinking, and asked casually: "Isn't there still a hit song of "Popular Ballads" today?" After a busy day, so tired, did you make an appointment to go out to dinner at night? ”

"Hmmm......" Chi Jingyuan, who was in a slightly trance, let out a nasal sound.

"Who are you going to eat with?"

"Xiujing."

Hearing this name, the movement of Bae Joo-hyun's hand suddenly paused, and after a second, he quickly replied as if he wanted to hide something, but the rhythm seemed to be a little chaotic.

Before she could say anything, Chi Jingyuan's voice came from her ears: "I haven't seen each other for a long time, I went to see FX's concert a few days ago, and when I met backstage, I made an appointment to have a meal and talk after the concert, and today is over...... I also made an appointment with Shirley, it's tomorrow. ”

"Well......" Hearing the man's seemingly unintentional explanation, Bae Zhuhyun became a lot more relaxed, responded softly, and continued to massage Ji Jingyuan, after being quiet for a few seconds, she then spoke: "Xiujing's predecessors are indeed very powerful, she is already very popular, and her recent development is also very good, I met her once in the company a few days ago, and she has become more beautiful......"

Her voice didn't change much from just now, but her tone became more upright, emotionless, and felt like she was in business.

"Ah, Bae Joo-hyun, what are you pretending!"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Jingyuan interrupted her, opened her eyes and looked at Pei Zhuhyun, who was close at hand, smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch the tender soft flesh on her cheek and shook it, mercilessly exposing the hypocrisy of the young lady: "Who are these words for, you don't think I forgot that Zheng Xiujing taught you a lesson in front of me before, right?" ”

Being suddenly called by the male to his real name made Pei Zhuhyun pause in surprise, after listening to his naked words, he suddenly felt as if his disguise had been revealed, a little embarrassed, his face became a little red, and he felt Ji Jingyuan's playful eyes staring at her from bottom to top, the young lady's cheeks bulged, and she still couldn't hold back after holding it for a while, she laughed out loud, and then reached out and gently slapped him on the shoulder.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at Pei Zhuhyun, who was bent in his eyes, shook his head twice with his thighs on his pillow, and then turned his head and closed his eyes, and after Pei Zhuhyun's smile gradually dissipated, he also pursed his mouth and rubbed his male relatives again.

After a while, she suddenly spoke, and asked in a hesitant voice:

"You and Xiu... Zheng Xiujing, you used to... Have you ever been in a relationship? ”

Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and looked at the young lady: looking at her dark eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched: "Do you really want to know?" ”

Just asked, but at this time, Pei Zhuhyun pouted and replied stiffly: "I don't want to." ”

"I don't know if it's a relationship, it shouldn't be to that point......" smiled helplessly, Chi Jingyuan didn't ask any more, and said slowly after recalling it.

He shook his head lightly against Bae Joo-hyun's thigh, and then exhaled and added: "Later, because of some time apart, it was a long time ago...... However, it can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersing. ”

The snort from his words and breathing made Pei Zhuxun's legs tickle a little, but Pei Zhuxun didn't notice it, obviously her mind was obviously not on this, her right hand gently supported Ji Jingyuan's face a few times, and she was silent for a while in a quiet atmosphere, and suddenly whispered: "If we ...... in the future." I don't want to get together and disperse. ”

"You've ever thought about anything like this?" Suddenly hearing the young lady's reaction, Chi Jingyuan looked at her a little speechlessly.

"Hmm......" Bae Joo-hyun pursed his lips: "Actually, I've thought about it several times." ”

His expression became a little reproachful, and Chi Jingyuan looked at her with a slight frown: "What do you want to do with this, do you have nothing to do every day?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bae Joo-hyun looked at him, her dark eyes were very clear, she opened her mouth and seemed to think of something as if she wanted to say something, but she soon stopped talking, she looked at the face of the man she liked, his eyes and expression, he didn't make a sound, smiled lightly and then suddenly lowered his head and took the initiative to kiss it.

In a trance, two lights shone from not far away, and several cars turned from the turn of the rear parking lot, slowly driving behind, the light passed through the glass film, faintly faintly fainting on the hair of the two people in the nanny car, reflecting a dense star.

After a while, Pei Zhuhyun patted Ji Jingyuan's arm, raised his head and panted lightly, his nose was sweaty, and his cheeks were slightly red.

She cleaned up her clothes a little, but found that Chi Jingyuan was still lying on her lap and didn't react at all, so she couldn't help but reach out and push him: "Why don't you speak?" ”

Chi Jingyuan pressed her thighs, and her voice was muffled: "I was attacked and suffocated." ”

"Yikes." Bae Joo-hyun blushed and hammered him, tried to push a few more times, and found that Ji Jingyuan was still motionless as if he was asleep, and he didn't try anymore, blinking his eyes and looking down at him for a while, stretching out his hand and gently stroking his hair, his eyes were as calm as water.

……

After the end of the "Fire" event period, the EXO group had a day off, and Chi Jingyuan, who happened to have no personal itinerary, took this opportunity to go home, but unfortunately both the second brother and the eldest sister had their own things to do, and he played a game at home for a day without doing anything and then went out to have a meal with Cui Shirley in the evening, and then returned to the company early the next morning.

There is a more important meeting in the morning, after the end of the second tour, the approximate time of EXO's third tour has also been determined, and the download is at the end of July this year, and the specific affairs have been prepared very early, and today is to discuss and determine some key matters of the third tour with the company's department leaders and the concert design team, including the concept, stage process, main style, repertoire selection, stage effects and so on......

This year's third world tour of EXO, SM once again invested a lot of resources, and is working with a new Aramco very well-known concert design team, trying to surpass the successful second tour, so that EXO's world tour can create greater brilliance with better results, better reputation, and better performances.

"The theme name of this three tours is determined to be 'EXO'rDIUM,', which means 'Exordium', as the name suggests, compared to the previous two tours, this three tours are a new beginning, whether it is musical, artistic, emotional, atmosphere, and concept are all a new generation, to show a completely different characteristics from the previous two times."

"Compared with the second tour, the world view and theme setting of this tour will be deeper and more complete; The control of emotions and atmosphere is more relaxed, the place of moderation is more moderation, and the place of excitement is more hilarious; The selection, arrangement, and creation of music are fully in line with the overall effect of the concert, and for the first time, Sexy will be presented as a style. ”

"In terms of stage effects, we will all use the latest impressions, the latest lighting, the latest LED display and a variety of stage atmosphere facilities, with the company's expected to withdraw with the three tours synchronously, with the central control light function of the 'third generation of Aliver', this time the stage effect of our tour will have a very obvious, leapfrog rise."

The employees of the company department and a group of foreigners from the concert design team kept talking about many ideas that had been discussed before, and the various words that came out of their mouths sounded quite exciting.

Because the share of overseas trips, especially overseas concerts, is 70%, the more successful the three tours, the more they earn.

Looking at Wu Shixun's non-stop nodding head, focused and excited expression, it felt as if he was already thinking about where to buy a house.

The members who listened carefully in the middle also put forward their own ideas, and Ji Kyung-won gestured and said his suggestions: "There are a few places in the second tour that are very well received by fans, such as the stage pajamas and doll costumes of "Peter Pan", I think you can consider keeping them...... And it is still necessary to specially select some songs to restore physical strength, otherwise it is really stressful to connect so many dance songs. ”

The foreign design team named Lucas nodded in agreement: "We think the same way......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ After the strong melody and sexy part of the first part as the opening to bring all the audience into the atmosphere, it will enter the second part of the 'daily party', from the excitement of Sexy just now to the playful teenager in white clothes, wearing pajamas or doll costumes, bringing more contrasting enjoyment to individual audiences. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ And the second half is the home of electronic music + the home of the nightclub......"

The new concert design team seems to be really informative, and many ideas and ideas are eye-catching, even if they haven't started yet, they are already full of confidence for the next three tours.

It took a few hours for a meeting to finish, and after it was over, everyone did not leave the meeting immediately, but exchanged some unfinished ideas with each other, and the EXO members also had a lot of ideas, and the company will consider their suggestions very carefully at such times.

Ji Jingyuan was communicating with the design team and talking about some of his thoughts on stage lighting, when Lee Seung-hwan came over and gave him a message.

"After chatting, Jingyuan will go to my side."

…………

"Mainly the work arrangement ...... in the recent period"

In the office, Li Chenghuan took two cups of coffee and walked over to hand Ji Jingyuan a cup, then sat down on the sofa next to him, took out the memo in the bag next to him, and said very familiarly before he opened it: "First of all, it's about the third tour, you also listened to the meeting just now, and the focus of recent work is this in addition to the three episodes...... However, in addition to what I said at the meeting just now, the company also wants to prepare some members' individual special stage performances during the concert, just like during the first tour. ”

"Let's see if you have a suitable song over there, if you have it, you can have a solo stage or a special stage in this three tours, and if not, the company and the concert team will choose the song and arrange it."

Chi Jingyuan took a sip of coffee and listened to the agent while tasting the taste.

He sighed lightly and felt a little sweet, then looked at Li Chenghuan with a smile and asked, "Is the company still worried that we won't be able to sell tickets for this third tour?" ”

When they toured EXO for the first time, it was probably due to the fact that there were not many albums released by XO at that time, and there were not enough songs, so in that tour, all the members had their own solo stage in the concert under the arrangement of SM.

At that time, the evaluation of these solo stages was very good, and it also played a certain role in ticket sales, especially the "YOU=I" written by Ji Jingyuan to fans directly became the favorite of fans, I don't know how many people asked for the sound source after watching the concert's CUT but couldn't find it at all.

"Ani, how come, our concert tickets can never be grabbed, and there is no such thing as not being sold." Lee Seung-hwan laughed with great confidence, he was so proud of this combination under his command that he couldn't do it.

Lee Seung-hwan's position in the company in recent years has also risen with the growth of EXO, and I heard that the company has deliberately promoted him to management because of his achievements in recent years, and then sent a new agent to talk to EXO.

He pouted at Chi Jingyuan: "It's mainly for some gimmicks, if there are more special stages, the concert CDs of the third tour will sell better...... If you have the right tunes, you can include them on your solo album after the tour. ”

"Hmm......" Chi Jingyuan didn't think much about it, nodded and responded: "I'll see if there is a suitable one in the next few days, if not, let the company arrange it." ”

β€œOK…… By the way, the company has already collected a few songs for your solo album, including some songs in the library, if you have time, listen to them. Speaking of this, Lee Seung-hwan remembered something and brought it up, and then looked at Ji Jingyuan helplessly: "There has been no movement on your side, and your own SOLO album is not in a hurry, you are the first solo debut member of XO, and the company is much more anxious than yourself." ”

"How could it be, there are already some ideas and spare songs." Ji Jingyuan looked at him with an innocent expression, and he felt that he had been wronged.

Of course, he's always been paying attention to his solo thing, but high-quality songs aren't something that can be made casually, so of course you have to be cautious about your first solo debut.

"The songs on CBX are pretty much the same...... Forget it, you go listen to the song first and see if you like it. Lee Seung-hwan shook his head and smiled, randomly opened the memo in his hand, and continued: "Then there is the variety show, in addition to those that have been notified to you before, the company has given you a shooting of "Runningman", and the specific shooting time is on the 28th, for a day. ”

It didn't matter when Chi Jingyuan started to hear variety shows, as long as he returned, it would inevitably be accompanied by various programs and variety shows. In order to promote the return of the three episodes, the company has given them a lot of variety show itineraries, because most of the variety shows are to be recorded a week to two weeks in advance, in order to cooperate with the release date of the third episode on June 9th, they have recorded a lot of relevant materials and clips in advance in a few days, and there will be many programs to be released in two days.

I was stunned for a moment when I heard that he was the only one, and pointed to myself in surprise to confirm, thinking that I had heard it wrong:

β€œγ€ŠRunningmanγ€‹οΌŸ Am I alone? ”

"Runningman" is the hottest outdoor variety show on the peninsula in recent years, the most well-known outdoor variety show in China and even in the open sea, reaching its peak in the years of 13 and 14, it can be said that it is popular throughout Asia, although in the past two years because of the skills of the program team, as well as aesthetic fatigue and other problems, the ratings have gradually declined, but it is still SBS's ace variety show.

However, since the debut of the EXO group, I have been there once since the 12-member period, and the other members in the middle have also been on it a few times, and the only time Ji Jingyuan participated in the recording in addition to following the group was when he was 13 years old to promote "The Inheritors...... But he remembered that the issue was a bit lackluster, and there were not many highlights.

It's just that although EXO rarely appears in any variety shows with nine people now, most of them are recorded by three or four members on behalf of the entire group, but he is not the only one......

"You're the one." Li Chenghuan nodded in confirmation first, smiled after seeing his expression, and quickly explained: "Originally, we were the whole group invited by the "Runningman" program team, but several members had already set the event at the agreed recording time, so they politely declined...... Later, the program team said that you don't need everyone to go, it's OK to only go to a few members, but if it doesn't work, you can go alone......"

"Name me?" Ji Jingyuan blinked, with a slight sense of satisfaction of being recognized.

"Yes, even though we are EXO...... But there are few members who can support the recording of a program by themselves. Lee Seung-hwan nodded appreciatively at Ji Jingyuan: "The "Runningman" program team still attaches great importance to it, we have already read the general process and content of this issue that was sent, basically the whole issue is your one-man special from beginning to end...... It's just that at the end of the show, in order to tear off the name plate, for the sake of the program, the program team invited another group to play the show......"

"And in order to meet the release time and return publicity of our three episodes next month, PD over there took the initiative to postpone the broadcast time of this episode of the program by a week, which was originally scheduled to be broadcast on June 5th, but now it has been adjusted and changed to the 12th, just in line with the publicity after the release of the third episode on the 9th...... although "Runningman" is not as popular as before, but the popularity and attention are still very high."

"I know, record it......" Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture and nodded easily.

He is no longer the one he had just debuted, and he didn't talk much on variety shows, first, he was not very used to it, and secondly, he had some idol baggage and no sense of artistry.

It's been so long since he debuted now, although he can't say how good he is at and how strong his sense of artistry is, at least it is not difficult for him to record a variety show.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chi Jingyuan thought of something, and looked up: "By the way, which combination is the string field?" ”
