"Number 13?"

After chatting for a long time, Chi Jingyuan suddenly heard Mingjing Nan ask this question. Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, but he was not too surprised.

Of course he knew what Najing Nan meant by asking this. The 13th was his birthday, so asking this clearly meant that he wanted to meet and give him a gift.

Another person asked this question. This is the first time he has asked this question in the past few days. In addition to Bae Zhuhyun, there are several friends, girls he knows who have a crush on him, and even Bae Suzy has asked similar questions. The problem.

Although I and Nai Minami have known each other for a long time, they basically never wished each other on their birthdays before this year. However, after Twice debuted, especially this year, the two have become a lot more familiar, and some time ago Chi Jingyuan also participated in Twice's birthday surprise for this girl. At that time, I felt that Mingjing Nan was very touched, and it was only natural that I would keep it in my heart and want to thank him.

However, there may be other reasons...

"Why do you want to give me a gift?" Chi Jingyuan asked cheerfully with a smile.

"Yes, I want to thank you."

"Is this really a thank you and not revenge? Do you also want to organize a birthday surprise for me? Find someone to scold me or something."

"Pfft...Ha, why do you think so."

Hearing the laughter coming from the phone, Chi Jingyuan also smiled.

Because he had recalled it many times, he no longer had to think about his schedule on the 13th, but he still paused for a moment before saying in a thoughtful tone:

"We will return on the 12th. Although there should be a lot of things on the 13th. If everything is finished, it should be at night at the earliest...twice has been so busy recently, will you have time to come out at that time?"

"Well...even though I'm very busy, I can't spare any time."

Hearing the persistence in Mingjing Nan's soft voice, Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything more and responded: "If you get off work early, I tell you, if it's too late, forget it, gifts can be given anytime. Here, it’s better not to let your agent scold you.”

"good."

"Well, hang up first."

"Bye-Bye……"

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan put the phone aside, leaned against the bed and looked at the ceiling quietly, thinking about the sudden phone call just now.

Of course he could tell that Mingjing Nan was interested in him. It was an idol who took the initiative to call a girl at such a late hour. Especially considering Mingjing Nan's character, it was already obvious. What's more, he asked for contact information last year. In fact, it was already very obvious.

It's not like he's an innocent young man. An experienced person like him can feel it with just one sentence he says on the phone.

Chi Jingyuan is not surprised at all that there are girls who have a crush on him, because there are indeed too many of them. They are not the ones that are pursued by fans. After debuting, they just expressed their crush, and even took the initiative to pursue his female idols and artists. There are a lot of them, and he has long been used to them.

However, his desire to communicate with most people was not very high. At this time, Chi Jingyuan actually had no idea of ​​rejection. On the contrary, he actually felt a sense of expectation when he heard that Ming Jingnan wanted to meet and give gifts.

Chi Jingyuan actually didn't have any special feelings before, but now that he tasted this idea, he suddenly felt interesting.

why? Because she has a nice smile?

When I was thinking about how to spend the few hours on my birthday, a voice suddenly came from beside me: "Who took so long?"

Looking to the right of his eyes, Wu Shixun, who shared the same hotel room with him, was leaning on the bedside and looking at him curiously.

Except for the phone calls with girlfriends where they would exchange some intimate whispers, they would rarely avoid talking to each other. The conversation with Minami just now was all heard by this person who specially turned down the sound of the TV. .

He didn't even need to ask if it was a boy or a girl.

After asking, he thought about what he had just heard and said to himself: "Winning one today? Isn't that Twice? Who did you hook up with... I just said you have nothing to do with Twice. What kind of producer?"

Chi Jingyuan was also a little helpless about this person's assumptions. His role as a producer for Twice had nothing to do with Ming Jingnan. It was purely an invitation from Park Jin Young, and he also wanted to try out what it was like to be a producer for a girl group. , accumulate some experience.

There are many good things but some dirty thoughts. How did his reputation become like this?

"A friend." Chi Jingyuan glanced at him sideways and said casually.

"Axi..."

Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Wu Shixun frowned and looked at him speechlessly: "Do you believe it? When I texted with Irene before, I said we were friends, and everyone said we were friends..."

"As things develop later, how can there be an unchanging relationship between people?"

Shaking his head, Chi Jingyuan looked very natural and didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.

"If mom's name is Sachiko, it should be a member from Neon, right? Sana?...Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, and I guess even this is just one of them, there is more than one person."

He didn't deny Chi Jingyuan's words. After some self-righteous guesses, Wu Shixun's expression suddenly turned strange. He looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled playfully: "Why, you have been pretending to be a good boyfriend for several months now. Finally can’t pretend anymore? When you meet a girl you’re interested in, you finally reveal your true nature?”

"How did you see that I was interested?" Chi Jingyuan turned to look at him.

"ayi~ With your personality, if you are not interested, your tone should be unfamiliar and polite. A 'good senior' may not have time to say 'thank you very much', and you should have called me a long time ago." You won’t chat for so long after hanging up. When that female model called you last time, didn’t you just hang up in a few words?”

After being roommates for more than four years, Wu Shixun already knows Chi Jingyuan very well without being shy about many things. To some extent, from the perspective of a bystander, he may even know Chi Jingyuan better than Chi Jingyuan himself. See him more clearly.

"..." Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought for two seconds, but did not deny it. He pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."

But after agreeing, he quickly looked back unhappily: "Who told you that I was playing the role of a 'good father'? I am a good man myself..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Before Chi Jingyuan could finish speaking, Wu Shixun laughed exaggeratedly as if he had heard some funny joke. He didn't know if it was to prove how ridiculous he was. He also used a lot of body language. After rolling around on the bed , tilted his body and slapped the bed with his hands wildly, and the muffled sound came like applause from the audience.

Chi Jingyuan looked a little unhappy for no reason.

Can you act in a movie with your exaggerated acting skills? Or play half-man, half-cat?

The entire filming was completed in less than two months, with a performance like yours. Needless to say, it's a bad movie.

After a crazy argument, Wu Shixun pretended to pat his chest, looking tired from laughing: "Miah, I suddenly want to laugh... Mainly because the word 'good boyfriend' appeared in our Everyone, especially you, seems to have a sense of comedy. You can’t tell if you don’t talk when you are on a variety show, but you have such a sense of variety show in private..."

Suddenly he felt that Chi Jingyuan's eyes were a little unkind, but he waved his hand indifferently: "How could a good man talk to a female idol alone at such a late hour... I'm interested in you as soon as I see you, as long as there's something right at the beginning Once you are interested, the rest will be a matter of course. Don’t say that with your ability, there is no female idol that you can’t handle?”

“Isn’t the word get it a little disrespectful?”

Chi Jingyuan frowned slightly and glanced at him.

"Qingjia, in addition to being good at pushing and pulling, you also attach great importance to this aspect... You are really good at it. No wonder the previous girlfriends were able to get together and get away easily." Wu Shixun's focus was obviously far away. His eyes lit up after hearing this, and he glanced at Chi Jingyuan with admiration. After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and moved his mouth a few times, as if he was learning the way Chi Jingyuan spoke just now.

Pouring his lips, Chi Jingyuan couldn't say much to refute for the moment. He actually understood his character and behavior very well. It was true that he couldn't be called a good and dedicated father.

But on the other hand, it doesn't matter if Bae Zhuhyun thinks he is a good father.

He felt that after dating, he actually did pretty well most of the time.

"Okay, actually it's good to calm down and have a good relationship for a while. Irene is really good..." After giving Chi Jingyuan a meal, Wu Shixun felt refreshed and became free and easy, smiling. Hehehe looked at Chi Jingyuan: "But Brother Chanyeol can have two girlfriends at the same time and balance it very well. I believe that at your level, you are definitely better than him."

"He hasn't broken up with those two people yet?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan looked over curiously.

According to the news he heard some time ago, Park Chanyeol was originally dating a beautician outside the industry. At the end of last year, he fell in love with the idol of a senior girl group and started dating the two at the same time. They talked about falling in love...and this wasn't the first time this happened.

This guy's preference is for seniors. He likes the opposite sex who is older than him and plump.

"No, wasn't he still talking about being able to do things with ease two days ago?" Wu Shixun thought about it and shook his head first, then waved his hand with a very understanding look: "But you know, this brother prefers to brag. , I can’t completely believe what I say…but I think I did a good job.”

After saying that, he looked at Chi Jingyuan as if he was waiting for a good show: "What about you?"

"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan looked away, reached out and took the mobile phone next to him, with a sincere and sacred expression: "I am a good father."

"Hahaha……"

Another burst of laughter came that made people want to kick him, but Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

While he was smiling, his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and found that it was Zhou Ziyu who had sent a text message.

I clicked on it and found a photo. In the photo, the girl was wearing today's singing uniform, holding a trophy in her left hand, and making an old-fashioned scissor hand gesture with her right hand. She was grinning very happily.

At first glance, you can tell that it is today's "M!" A commemorative photo taken backstage after "countdown" ended. I sent it here because I guess I wanted to chat with Chi Jingyuan and share the joy of winning the first place.

Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan is not in a good mood now after being laughed at.

After a while, Zhou Ziyu happily sent another message: "Didn't you see that we won one today... By the way, are you free on the 13th?"

At this time in the Twice dormitory, Zhou Ziyu, who had just washed her face, was wearing a facial mask and pink pajamas, holding her dog and sitting on the edge of the bed with her back straight and girlishly.

At this time, the phone in her hand vibrated, and she quickly looked over:

"No."

It's a pity that there are only two words: cold.

Although she was wearing a facial mask, she could see that her expression suddenly changed a lot. Based on her understanding of Chi Jingyuan, this person must not be in a good mood at the moment. As a result, she happened to bump into him and took it. She vented her anger.

What are you doing!

Pouting in dissatisfaction, Zhou Ziyu put down the phone angrily and looked around. Finally, he looked down at Xi Lu in his arms, wearing eyes and sticking out his tongue. He snorted and slapped the dog on the head.

…

The event was held in Neon for three consecutive days. Although the local fans were really enthusiastic and their support and craziness were no worse than those held in the local area, holding six consecutive meetings was really tiring. After finishing the Neon tour with pain and joy, the EXO group rushed back to Seoul overnight to start making final preparations for the upcoming return of the lead song "fire".

On the 10th, SM released the second version of the concept photo for the prelude song "Fire". Unlike the first version, where the members and the flames had a left-right composition, the second version just showed nine people standing in a row, walking forward. In the two-dimensional composition, there is a blazing flame behind them. Together with the black night sky illuminated by the fire, it looks like a handsome and unrestrained man who never looks back at the explosion.

At the same time, a MV trailer of about 30 seconds was released. The chorus clip and group dance scenes exposed in the middle showed a very different style from last year, which made many fans and even passers-by express strong expectations. It was just the first time. Marching Song has achieved the level of becoming a hot search almost every time SM releases some material.

However, apart from EXO, what has attracted the most attention is actually the return of the other two people...

"Jingyuan, what are you looking at?"

At about 10 o'clock in the evening on May 10th, the nine members of EXO were resting in the practice room. They saw that Ji Jingyuan was not even participating in the chat of the members next to him. He was holding this phone and looking at it with relish. Byun Baekhyun was holding it out of curiosity. Two bottles of water came over and he handed one to him, glancing this way and asking.

Today, EXO has pre-recorded the 12th "M!" The initial stage for the comeback of "Countdown" was not built in Mnet because the background required was relatively complicated. Moreover, two or three days in advance, a venue was chosen to build the stage background at SM COEX, and then several venues were selected through a lottery. Hundreds of fans have arrived to watch the pre-recording.

On the day of the broadcast on the 12th, the live broadcast will cut directly to the recorded stage video, and EXO will only have to perform to the live audience at the scene.

This kind of initial stage pre-recorded by the company itself is actually the best, but the cost will be much higher in comparison.

"Live broadcast, Pani-senpai's return V LIVE."

Chi Jingyuan took the drink and thanked him, then replied with a slightly excited tone.

"Return to the live broadcast? Is it good to watch?" Bian Baekhyun asked doubtfully: "Isn't it just introducing the songs? I remember it was quite boring."

Chi Jingyuan smiled when he heard this, moved to the side enthusiastically to make room, and clicked his tongue in a friendly tone: "That's normal, you don't even know how exciting today is!"

In the past two days, the Kpop music industry has been the hottest, and the people receiving the most attention are actually not the popular Twice, or EXO who is about to make a comeback.

Of course, these two are very popular. It can be said that Twice has become a trend now. You can see them in various programs, interviews, and advertisements every day. Needless to say, the popularity of EXO is not to mention. Everyone knows the importance of the contemporary top.

Many people are curious about how high Twice can fly and how many top songs they can win. There are also many people who are looking forward to the new song "Orange" that EXO, which was so brilliant last year, will come back this year. They hope to see them directly overtake the recent bad dancers. Rabbit gas, tell them what TOP is.

However, compared to the two, it is still a little less topical, or it does not bring enough fun to passers-by.

The biggest rhythm, highlights, and fun these days belong to two members and former members of Girls’ Generation, Hwang Mi Young and Jung Soo Yeon.

At the end of April, their management companies coincidentally announced that they would be making a solo comeback in May. Then a few days ago, they coincidentally announced the official release date.

Both of these people are about to return in the near future. One is the second member of Girls’ Generation to debut solo, and the other is also releasing his first solo album after leaving the group. One of them will be released on May 11th, and the other on May 17th. No., it was only one week wrong before and after, it was considered to be exactly the same time. It felt like it was calculated accurately and waiting for the other party.

Reminiscent of the fact that after the 930 incident in which Jessica quit the group, both sides had a heated argument. One said, "Girls' Generation originally debuted with eight members" and the other said, "8 others did not notify me." This divided fans and gave way to passers-by. Having seen enough excitement, Jessica has been semi-banned by SM in the peninsular home market in the past two years. She has not been in the music industry for a long time.

This time, both sides suddenly announced a solo song, which immediately reminded people of all the wonderful things in the past. This was obviously a bit of a quarrel, and it was embarrassing for the current members and the former members to come back at the same time. Everyone was ignited with enthusiasm. While SNSD fans were noisy, the interest and attention of passers-by also skyrocketed to the highest level.

As a loyal fan of Girls' Generation's seniors, Ji Kyung-won is naturally so. In recent days, he has been paying close attention to the development of the situation and various materials of the seniors on both sides.

And this is even more true today. Jessica held her comeback live broadcast on V LIVE at 10 o'clock in the evening, and Huang Meiying started at 11 o'clock, also on V LIVE.

Someone asked: "Panixi, you and Jessica released albums at the same time and bumped into each other. How did it feel?"

Huang Meiying squinted her signature smile and replied: "It would be best if everyone can succeed. Recently, there are many idol groups who have come back as solos, and they have shed countless sweats. There are also people who have been preparing for it longer than me. "

Seeing this scene, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but applaud vigorously in his heart.

He is truly worthy of being the Pani sunbaenim of Girls' Generation. Not only did he give a very decent answer that makes it hard to fault, but he also directly classified the former members into the "many" category, which is really admirable.

Even if senior Lin Yun'er comes, it's nothing more than that.

Sure enough, SNSD's success is no accident. Ji Kyung Won and EXO still have a lot to learn.

In addition to the excellent performances of the protagonists on both sides, the mutual quarrel between fans is also a feast for the eyes:

"When Sika was in the group, just beat that person, okay? Huang Meiying looks like a man and has a strong voice, but she likes to make sweet noises. Wuli Sika is naturally sweet and has a good voice, but she doesn't care about it. What kind of persona is there to show off a cute little girl? The two of them are not on the same level at all."

"That's right, I only have two things to say, 1. It doesn't matter anymore, there is no need to compare. 2. Even if we compare, we can't compare."

"The spirit is summoned! The spirit is summoned... But even if she comes back, can you see Jessica's stage?"

"Since she wants to release a song, why doesn't Jessica form a mixed male and female group with her soulmate? It feels like it's much more interesting than her solo!"

"Girls' Generation would have disbanded a long time ago if Kim Taeyeon wasn't supporting it. Can you please stop mentioning me? I'm currently the CEO and a designer. I'm a career guy. I'm already at the next level."

"Indeed, I haven't seen him for several years. There is no last level of this person in the music industry."

"When there is little garbage, go to hell!"

"Disgusting Jessica, get out of here!"

"What are you arguing about? Who cares about the backs of these two outdated girl groups? No matter how much they hype them up, they won't be crushed by us Xiaotian?"

Bravo……

Chi Jingyuan was scrolling through the noisy ones on the Internet, and for a moment he didn't know which one to like.

He hasn't encountered such an interesting thing in the music industry for a long time, and it feels much more interesting than EXO's return.

It's just that now we can't see who is losing and who is winning on both sides, which makes people a little anxious.

Not long after, at midnight on the 11th, all the sound sources of Pani's first solo album were released. With the lingering power of Girls' Generation and the extremely high popularity today, the title song "I Just Wanna Dance" directly landed at the second place on Melon. The outstanding airborne results also allowed the sones to win the first victory and start to wave the flag online.

And soon one day passed, and at midnight on the 12th, EXO's prelude song "fire" was officially released.
