Peninsula Asteroid

…………

On the other side, the EXO team came to Neon Aichi. After the day's site visit and rehearsal, a group of people went out to find a restaurant near the hotel to have a midnight snack.

All the members of the whole group came. Nine people put together two tables in the box and sat around them. The sound of bowls and chopsticks hitting each other, the sound of chewing, and the chattering mixed together, and the atmosphere was very lively.

EXO debuted for five years. Although there have been many disputes and conflicts among the members and several small groups have been formed, all members can still maintain a friendly relationship for the sake of face. Such collective activities are generally not absent as long as they are free.

The captain is serious and responsible, and there is also a royal family maknae who is treated specially. There are no members who are particularly unsociable. In any case, everyone is very respectful... This can be regarded as the soul of EXO.

At this time, the atmosphere at the table is quite harmonious.

After Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory and the group regrouped, the atmosphere in the whole team was much better. The embarrassing scene caused by the sub-group and fans that Wu Sehun mentioned before did not happen. Bian Baekhyun, Kim Jongdae and others behaved quite normally.

First, because Chi Jingyuan is back, some emotions must not be shown in front of him.

Second, it is also because Chi Jingyuan and Wu Sehun expressed support and encouragement to CBX in the live broadcast two days ago, and also gave some guidance to fans... Although they are still being ridiculed in various ways these two days, no matter whether it works or not, they certainly understand this feeling.

Let them ridicule, anyway, they have debuted for so long, and their mentality has long been trained.

And although CBX's performance is not satisfactory, to be honest, it is not a big blow to Bian Baekhyun and others in their careers. It is not a earth-shattering thing that the performance does not meet expectations once. Their roots are still in EXO. As long as the EXO group does not fall, it is actually acceptable for the sub-group to have a little worse performance.

However, the long-awaited debut of the sub-group was first ruthlessly knocked away by Twice's "TT", and then directly crushed by the subway song of the same team members, so they were in a bad mood.

But the EXO members are also smart people. No one discussed these things at all. Even the extremely popular "Really Really" was not mentioned at all. Instead, they have been chatting about all kinds of gossip from the beginning to now.

From Do Kyung-soo's new girlfriend, to the female fan Park Chanyeol dated a few days ago, from a certain male group member who took the initiative to flatter a rich female fan, to which female group had serious internal bullying and exclusion, from a certain male idol and the company's trainees taking drugs together, to which female idol in the circle looked delicate but actually had serious bad breath and body odor.

All kinds of secret news were talked about happily.

"Is it true? What did the company say?"

At this time, Kim Junmyeon looked at Park Chanyeol with some worry, and Chi Jingyuan and others beside him also looked over in surprise.

Just now they heard Park Chanyeol say that the photo of him and his new girlfriend outside the entertainment industry was taken by the newspaper, and it seems that he had communicated with SM but was stopped by the company. Yesterday, he was called to the company for a meeting by his agent.

"What else can I say? It's the same old thing."

Facing the concern of other members, Park Chanyeol didn't seem to care much. He drank a few sips of wine and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Peninsula and Seoul are so small, and the various media paparazzi are extremely tricky. As long as you are popular and in love, it is basically difficult to escape the eyes of these media for a long time.

This kind of thing has happened to EXO more than once or twice. Since their debut, many members have been photographed, such as Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in, Byun Baekhyun... and Ji Kyung-won, etc.

However, most of them were covered by the company's public relations. SM is still very powerful in this regard, so so far, only Byun Baekhyun's love affair has been exposed in the entire group.

This time, it should be the same as before...

"Be careful..."

Seeing Park Chanyeol's indifferent look, Kim Junmyeon hesitated and persuaded him: "Sometimes the company can't block all the news."

Bian Boxian, who had just taken a bite of rice, paused with his chopsticks, but soon disappeared and chewed twice as if nothing had happened.

"Alasou~" Park Chanyeol nodded and responded casually, but those who knew him knew that he didn't take it to heart.

Looking at this brother's look, Chi Jingyuan smiled in his heart.

If he could change his personality, he would not be Park Chanyeol.

"When did he get a new girlfriend, and the previous one broke up?"

Looking at Park Chanyeol gossiping again, Chi Jingyuan listened and asked Wu Shixun next to him curiously in a low voice.

But Wu Shixun looked at him blankly: "Which one are you talking about?"

"Uh..." Chi Jingyuan was a little speechless and felt that his question was stupid.

"How do I know which one you're talking about? He changes girlfriends more frequently than you... than us."

Wu Se-hun rolled his eyes first, then whispered to Chi Jingyuan: "The new one seems to be the president of a coffee shop. He said he met her last month..."

"Is that so..." Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly.

Now that they have debuted for five years, the members of EXO are all older. At present, basically all of them are in a relationship... Even if they are not yet, they are just in a window period.

However, most of them, such as Chi Jingyuan and Kim Junmyeon, are relatively restrained, unlike Park Chanyeol who plays so wildly.

After eating two bites of food, Chi Jingyuan suddenly glanced and found that Kim Jong-in, who was sitting in a corner of the table, was fiddling with his mobile phone. He didn't even eat two bites of food, and didn't participate in the discussion. His expression looked coquettish.

He was very familiar with this expression, and he knew what he was doing at a glance.

Thinking of his request some time ago, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, and quickly poked Wu Sehun, who was the most informed, with his elbow. After winking at him, he covered his mouth and whispered, "Kai... what's going on?"

"Oh, him..."

Wu Sehun followed his gaze and glanced over there, and immediately showed a look of understanding. He showed a sly smile to Chi Jingyuan, also covered his mouth, and whispered with excitement of gossip: "He seems to have been chatting with a female idol recently. The other party seems to be a little interested. I feel that it should be in the ambiguous period."

"Who? Which group?"

"EXID's Hyelin, don't we know each other?"

"EXID..."

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly in surprise when he heard it: "I do know her..."

I have met her many times on TV, but he is not very familiar with EXID... Moreover, he thinks this group's Junghwa and Hani are more beautiful...

I didn't expect Kim Jong-in to suddenly get together with her.

But Chi Jingyuan immediately remembered something, blinked and asked: "Isn't he pursuing Sana?"

He remembered that not long ago, this guy was obviously pursuing Minatozaki Sana, and he approached her actively and contacted her frequently by text message in private, and even asked Chi Jingyuan to help make an appointment.

It's only been a few days, and he has changed his partner?

"I was pursuing her before, but I heard from Kai that there seemed to be no progress after several chats, so I put it aside for now..."

For such things, Wu Sehun was extremely well-informed, and glanced at Jin Zhongren without leaving any trace: "He was quite disappointed. I remember that he mentioned this matter when we were drinking together. His evaluation of Sana xi was 'she looked very friendly and smiled, but it was far from as easy to deal with as imagined'."

"And..." Wu Sehun thought for a while and added: "'She is very good at keeping people in suspense at ordinary times, but she is like a different person when she is serious'."

"So amazing?"

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

He was not praising Kai, but Minatozaki Sana...

Although Kim Jong-in has a sultry personality and his appearance is not outstanding in EXO, Chi Jingyuan, who has lived with him for several years, knows that this guy is actually very good at this and is very good at chasing girls.

Moreover, as the official center of a top group like EXO, he is still very attractive to female idols in the circle.

Unexpectedly, he hit a wall with Minatozaki Sana.

This girl... is not low in level.

"But he didn't give up."

While saying this, Wu Sehun added: "He chatted here and chased there. I heard that he seemed to be in contact with a member of IOI recently. I don't know the details... Anyway, it doesn't delay~"

"He is really busy."

Chi Jingyuan clicked his tongue and felt that the members' lives were really colorful.

"Indeed, not worse than you."

"Ah..."

"...Oh my god, you know Tzuyu from Twice, right? Ah qingjia, I know why the public likes her looks so much. She is not photogenic. She looks really good up close in private. She has a great figure and a very small face."

As Chi Jingyuan was talking, he turned his attention to hear that the topic of Kim Jong-dae and the others beside him was actually about Chou Tzuyu.

"It's not like we haven't seen each other before. I don't think it's as exaggerated as you say~" Jin Junmyeon interrupted. He didn't quite believe it and felt that the members were exaggerating.

"It was very good before, and this time Twice's comeback is really good. Tzuyu's purple hair, wow, brother, you will know it when you see it."

At any time, beautiful female idols are the most interesting topic. Kim Jong-dae, who had drunk some wine, blushed slightly, and recalled:

"A few days ago, when we went to record "Music Bank", I saw several male artists approaching her, especially during the final award ceremony. We stood diagonally behind her in that episode, and I saw it very clearly. You don't know how several boy group idols behind Twice secretly looked at Tzuyu in the back..."

"Ah! I remember, it's like this!"

Bian Baekhyun immediately took over his words, then narrowed his eyes slightly, first looking forward seriously, and then looking at it, his eyes suddenly flashed and glanced over, his eyebrows flickered with a fiery passion, and he even raised his eyebrows in the middle, adding a feeling of looking at prey.

His cosplay was very vivid, and several people around him applauded.

However, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Is it true?" Jin Junmyeon thought they were exaggerating.

"Really, not at all... But I understand them, Tzuyu is really good-looking... Mainly, her temperament is very attractive, and her figure is very good."

"... Tsk tsk, if so many people are chasing her, I wonder if she is in a relationship now?"

At this time, Wu Shixun put down the wine glass in his hand and intervened: "Tzuyu xi is not an adult yet? How can he date at such a young age?"

"It's so small. The legal age for marriage has passed. Who stipulates that you have to be an adult before you can date? Nowadays, junior high school students are in one-on-one relationships...Wu Shixun, are you from the Peninsula?"

"Well……"

"...I remember that Jingyuan and Tzuyu have a very good relationship. Do you know, Jingyuan?"

…………

We haven't seen each other for a few days and the conversation was very lively. Today, the group of people had a great time eating the late night snack. They were still chatting with interest in the car when they returned to the hotel.

Chi Jingyuan also drank some wine and had a slightly drunken aftertaste. After returning to the hotel, he washed up and lay on the bed, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

This time for the third overseas trip, they no longer stayed in double rooms as before. SM directly booked single rooms for each member, allowing each member to have enough privacy.

It is indeed more convenient to live alone no matter what you do, but Chi Jingyuan feels that sometimes there is less people to chat with, and occasionally it is a little boring.

Just when he couldn't sleep and was watching the nightly programs on TV to relieve his boredom, the mobile phone placed by the bedside suddenly rang.

Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment after picking it up and looking at the caller.

It was Yu Dingyan who called.

"Jeongyeon?"

After answering the phone, he was obviously a little surprised: "Why are you calling so late? What happened?"

"Oppa!"

Yu Dingyan's very powerful voice came from the phone, and just listening to it made me feel a rush of excitement: "Ani... because I'm really happy today... hiccup... I'm also very touched, and I feel very special. Thank you Oppa, uh... so I called you to express my gratitude... burp."

Although her tone sounded energetic, it was a little too excited, and she also paused when speaking, the order of her words was slightly out of order, and she hiccupped from time to time. The situation sounded a little unusual.

"you've been drinking?"

Chi Jingyuan immediately heard that her state was not normal.

"Oppa heard it...because he was really happy, so he drank a little."

Although she may be a little superior, Yu Dingyan's thinking is obviously still very clear. She paused and asked tentatively: "I am a little presumptuous, will it disturb Oppa... Oppa, are you sleeping?"

"Not yet. How could Aidou go to bed so early?"

Chi Jingyuan, who was lying on the bed, had some speculations in his mind. He used the remote control to turn down the TV sound a little, and smiled gently: "This time is just right..."

As he said that, he remembered again: "By the way, today is your birthday, right? I almost forgot about the birthday card~ But the gift was given in advance, so it's gone this time."

"Well... Oppa remembers it, ah, I... thank Oppa."

Yu Dingyan was obviously very moved, and his words were a little confused. After sniffing twice, he started to talk nonchalantly.

This girl may have been accumulating a lot of things in her heart for a long time. Recently, or she was stimulated by something today, and she drank some wine. Her whole person became a little different from usual. She called so late. Come, come.

Originally, I just wanted to say thank you to Chi Jingyuan, but as I talked, I kept talking further and further away.

He said it was a thank you, but in reality it was a confession.

Of course Chi Jingyuan felt the abnormality of her mood, but he didn't say much and listened quietly to her ramble as a friend. .

Before Twice, in 2014, the 6MIX project that she had been looking forward to for a long time was disbanded and her whole body collapsed, so she had the idea of ​​leaving the company and saying goodbye to this industry. She even put it into practice and did not practice for a long time. , went directly to work in the bakery.

She said that she persisted for so long, but after Twice finally debuted, she felt that the world of idols was a little different from what she had imagined before. Not only did she have an endless schedule, she was exhausted every day and it was very torturous, and no matter where she was, No matter how hard you try, sometimes you still don’t get everyone’s attention and love.

She said that she once participated in a variety show with Zhou Ziyu, but when she went to the street to interview other people, the people around her only knew Zhou Ziyu, and the cheers and cheers were all from Zhou Ziyu, and not many people knew her at all... Then The disparity and jealousy are really unbearable.

She said that she once had a recording schedule and didn't sleep for two days. She was so tired that she collapsed. Lin Nalian was also very depressed because she saw many people on the Internet scolding her for being ugly. After the two returned to the dormitory, they talked to each other. They held each other and cried together for a long time.

She said that she has always liked long hair and has always had long hair since she was a child. However, she cut her hair into short hair at the company's request, and at first she didn't really like the 'girl crush' that the company gave her. She is not a very tough person.

She said that the past few days have been the happiest days since her debut. The real manifestation of her popularity at the book signing today made her so moved that she wanted to cry, and she did cry. She said that during her birthday live broadcast just now, she saw the messages from fans. I also have the feeling that "I really have a lot of people liking and supporting me" like never before.

Later, Yu Dingyan didn't know when he started crying while talking, and he didn't know when he hung up the phone.

After the call was hung up, Chi Jingyuan held the slightly hot phone and was silent for a while.

Although he and Yu Dingyan have always had a good relationship, it is limited to close predecessors and juniors, or friends.

With their relationship, it is not yet to the point where they can speak freely.

But now this girl obviously has a very good impression of Chi Jingyuan and trusts him very much. Today, after being excited and drinking, she subconsciously regards him as someone she can confide in. Not only is he limited to predecessors and juniors in the circle, but he also feels a little bit like a brother.

This closeness makes Chi Jingyuan feel a little burdened... but this kind of trust that does not involve ambiguity makes him feel pretty good.

After all, they have known each other for a long time, and he has always had a good impression of this girl with a good personality.

However, although they have known each other for so long, Chi Jingyuan really doesn’t know too much about Yu Dingyan. At first, he positioned her as ‘the younger sister of my friend Kong Shengyan’, and later it became ‘a member of the same group with Zhou Ziyu. ’

It has been almost the same before this collaboration on "Really Really".

But now, after this cooperation, especially after this phone call, Chi Jingyuan's image of this girl has become much clearer.

Now, in Chi Jingyuan's place, she no longer needs any additional affixes, she is Yu Dingyan.

I was already a little sleepless, and now after such a phone call, I have more divergent thoughts.

The TV in front of him was a little noisy. After watching it for a while, he got off the bed, came to the window in slippers, and quietly looked at the starry night sky outside. Thinking of the reason for Yu Dingyan's mood change, he couldn't help sighing with emotion.

Alas.

Idol is really a very stressful profession.

After watching the night view silently for a while, Chi Jingyuan suddenly thought of someone inexplicably in his mind.

He picked up his mobile phone, opened the address book, swiped twice to find Zhou Ziyu's name, hesitated for a moment, and called her.

After two beeps, the call was quickly connected, and Zhou Ziyu's familiar voice came from the phone. The voice was deliberately lowered as if she was afraid of being heard, but it clearly contained a hint of surprise that could not be concealed.

"What's the matter? Why did you call me suddenly?"

"Zhou Ziyu?"

Listening to her low, sweet and curved voice, Chi Jingyuan smiled, but said in surprise: "Sorry, I dialed the wrong number."

"Hate it, why are you doing this!"
