Chapter 804 None of your business

Chapter 804 None of your business

EXO was noticed the moment they came in. Many juniors stood up and saluted, and many familiar people also waved and greeted them.

While standing up and saluting, Minatozaki Sana raised her eyebrows playfully at Naito Minami beside her. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning was very clear.

Your boyfriend is here~

Yes~

Mingjing Nan flicked her tongue lightly, smiled and winked at the little sister.

Chi Jingyuan followed the members into the lounge with his eyes drooping. As if he had telepathy, he immediately felt the unusual gazes as soon as he came in. Without looking carefully, he just looked to the left and happened to see Mingjing Nan... as well as Zhou Ziyu and Minatozaki Sana.

Then I looked inside again, and besides the smiling faces of Kang Seulgi and Kim Yerin from Red Velvet, I only saw the side face and half of the back of the head that had just turned away.

Maybe it was because it was quite early, most of the artists present, including many female idols, didn't wear much makeup. For example, Naomi, Tzuyu, and even Seulgi were all without makeup. With just a quick glance, you could easily see their dark circles and their true appearance... Some unfamiliar fans probably couldn't recognize who was who in their favorite group after they arrived.

Fortunately, the people who have a good relationship with Chi Jingyuan don’t have this problem... These girls are really good at fighting without makeup.

Chi Jingyuan nodded casually in response to every idol who greeted or saluted him, and without saying much, he followed the members inside and came to the area belonging to SM artists. Girls' Generation, Shinee and Red Velvet were all here.

If Ji Jingyuan saw it correctly, in addition to Yoona, the heroine of the hit drama, who was present in person, he actually saw Hwang Miyoung... This girl was wearing a fashionable jacket and hot pants, and she waved at him with her signature smiling eyes.

This sister has disappeared since the military flag incident in August and has not appeared in front of the camera for any second in two months. He originally thought that Huang Meiying would take a leave today, but he didn't expect her to really come.

I guess he wants to try and test out a comeback... The two-month heat has passed, and it's not a good idea to keep lurking.

Since they were all acquaintances, there was no need to be polite and they just sat down casually. After the agent finished his business and left, Chi Jingyuan greeted a few familiar sisters sitting next to him.

"Why do you look so listless?" The temperature dropped and the weather was very cold today. Chi Jingyuan changed into a thicker sweatshirt before going out, but Kim Taeyeon was holding a cup of iced American coffee early in the morning, like a lunatic.

"I didn't get enough sleep~"

Chi Jingyuan sighed and couldn't help yawning...

"Didn't you get enough sleep? What bad things did you do yesterday?"

"I had a few drinks."

"You didn't even invite me to drink?"

"That's why I don't call you because I'm drinking!"

Just after saying hello to Kim Taeyeon, he suddenly stared at Kim Taeyeon's face and said, "Hey, why are you wearing makeup, Noona?"

After entering the door, whether it is EXO, Twice, Red Velvet or even Apink, these boy and girl groups all had no makeup on, but at this time he clearly felt that the girl in front of him was not without makeup. Although the plaid shirt and bun hairstyle were very homely, the traces of makeup on her cheeks, eyes, and especially eyebrows were too eye-catching.

He still looked as if he had seen it wrong. He turned his head to glance at the members of a few new generation girl groups nearby, looked at their plain faces, then turned back to look at Kim Taeyeon, comparing them back and forth for fear that he had made a mistake.

"Nuna, you even woke up early..."

Before Chi Jingyuan could finish his surprised words, Jin Taeyeon's face immediately darkened and she slammed the coffee cup in her hand on the table: "None of your business?"

I can't even describe my scheming...

Chi Jingyuan curled his lips slightly and looked at Lin Yuna beside him.

As expected of Yoona senior, her bare face looks no different from when she first debuted!

A few familiar brothers from SHinee, Kim Jong-hyun and Kim Ki-bum, also came over, as well as Kwon Yuri and Seohyun...these two sisters were also the MCs for today.

He distributed the snacks he brought with him to a group of brothers and sisters, and after chatting for a while, they dispersed to do their own things. Ji Jingyuan just took out his mobile phone and saw someone waving at him out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw that it was Zheng Endi. Busanhan noticed his gaze and immediately waved excitedly even harder, as if to signal him to come over and chat for a while.

Chi Jingyuan guessed why she was so excited... She was probably because she heard the demo of "Stay with Me" that he sent her yesterday and was happy about the quality of the OST and the collaboration.

Without hesitation, Chi Jingyuan stood up and walked towards Zheng Endi.

But when I was about halfway there, I happened to meet two girls walking towards me.

"Oppa~" Minatozaki Sana greeted sweetly, while Mingjing Nan next to her smiled but looked a little shy.

It was very similar to the scene in the SM practice room last time... except that her expression seemed a little reserved, especially Mingjing Nan, probably because she didn't put on enough makeup. Compared with putting on makeup, she naturally didn't look as delicate without makeup.

However, Chi Jingyuan blinked and looked at Ming Jingnan... His girlfriend looked better without makeup than he expected. The few small moles on her face were not only not an eyesore, but on the contrary made her face look even more pure.

Being young is good. You don’t have to get up early to do vain things. You can rest for a while...

"Are you two wearing matching outfits?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at them, looked at their clothes strangely and smiled.

From the front, the two of them are wearing the same sweatshirt, except that Minami Nai's is black and Sana Minato's is gray, and their lower bodies are exactly the same, both wearing tight black jeans... and they are hugging each other so tightly that if you don't know, you would think they are in love.

"Uh..." The two men were stunned when they heard the words, looked at each other's clothes and laughed.

"No~" Minatozaki Sana said with a chuckle, and turned around and showed Chi Jingyuan her back with Mingjing Nan: "It just looks like it, I'm wearing a sweatshirt with a hood, look~"

"Mina's is not..."

"Snapped……"

Before she could finish, Chi Jingyuan felt someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw that Zheng Endi, who couldn't wait, had already arrived beside her and gave him a strange look.

"Senior, Aniha Saiyo..." The natural smiles on the faces of Minami Nagai and Sana Minatozaki disappeared and they immediately saluted.

"Hello..." Zheng Endi returned the greeting politely, and then excitedly patted Chi Jingyuan on the back, and asked directly in front of the two juniors: "Why didn't you answer the phone call last night?"

"I went to bed early yesterday and didn't see it." Chi Jingyuan answered casually while glancing at Ming Jingnan who was listening with his ears perked up without leaving a trace.

"Going to bed so early? And sleeping so soundly. You didn't drink too much, did you?" Jung Eun-ji exposed him directly, looking him up and down with suspicious eyes: "You drank so little yesterday and you..."

"You know nothing. I've been so exhausted these past few days!"

This kind of questioning of her drinking capacity and the confident tone were very annoying. Chi Jingyuan immediately interrupted her and squinted his eyes: "It's none of your business when I go to bed!"

"You... let's not talk about this. Your demo is really amazing. The prelude and arrangement are just amazing! Did you really write it?"

"Or is it you?"

As she spoke, Jung Eun-ji also moved forward. Ji Kyung-won and Ming Jingnan looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then slowly followed behind.

The two girls, especially Ming Jingnan, were actually very interested in the conversation between Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Endi. When they were trying to get closer to listen, a figure came over and greeted them with a muffled voice with a smile: "Sana~"

Looking at senior Kim Jong-in who was walking towards them, the two girls paused, and Minatozaki Sana's smile appeared on her face again, and she responded with a smile.

……

As expected by Ji Jingyuan, Zheng Endi sincerely expressed her admiration for his great talent and her extreme recognition of his loyal behavior. She excitedly patted his back several times to praise him, and promised that next time when Ji Jingyuan was not tired, she would treat her to dinner and would make sure to drink until Ji Jingyuan was satisfied.

Chi Jingyuan had just returned from there, exhausted, and saw BAP being called out for rehearsal by the stage manager not far away.

Because today's performance will start in the afternoon, and there are many artists participating today, and many of them have prepared special stages, so rehearsals started very early. In fact, it had already started before EXO arrived. Most of the idols didn't even have time to put on makeup before they left the practice room under the guidance of the stage staff.

Today, EXO will perform three songs, namely "DOPE", "boy with luv" and "Blood Sweat and Tears".

It's quite interesting to say, according to custom, for this kind of compilation concert with multiple songs, they would generally choose the group's most popular song plus the newest song, or perform all of this year's new songs.

Taking EXO as an example, it should be "Roar" + "Blood Sweat & Tears", or "Monster" + "Blood Sweat & Tears"...they shouldn't have performed the pre-release songs from last year or even the year before.

However, the original intention of MBC to hold this DMC Super Festival was to attract more foreign tourists to promote local culture and Kpop. As for EXO overseas, especially in Europe and the United States, the most popular song as reflected in the number of clicks on YouTube is "Boy with Luv", followed by "DOPE" and "Roar".

"Boy with Luv" was nominated by MBC, and "Roar" was placed in the collaboration stage, so in the end, SM chose "DOPE" as one of the three stages at the suggestion of the organizer...

The fans and overseas audiences present today should be very happy, because this song is really popular on YouTube and the stage is really rare.

Including the two songs they collaborated with Twice and Gfriend, EXO's total performance time today was over twelve minutes, which is already an amazing number.

"Twice, XO, please prepare for rehearsal."

The collaboration stage was a little bit in the front, so they waited less than twenty minutes before it was their turn. EXO and Twice stood up, looked at each other, and followed the stage staff out.

Gfriend has already gone out. In addition to the collaboration of the three groups, they also have their own special stage.

At this time, the music of Gfirend's special stage - Kara's classic song "MR" was still playing on the stage. EXO and Twice were waiting at the entrance of the stage. The place was not big and they were standing quite close to each other. After standing still, Kim Jong-in started to talk to Minatozaki Sana again, and Chi Jingyuan's eyes naturally looked at Zhou Ziyu who was less than two meters away:

“When did you dye your hair?”

He wanted to ask when he caught a glimpse of it just now, but he never found the chance... Zhou Ziyu changed her usual black hair today and dyed her long straight hair an extremely eye-catching purple.

Even though it is very common for idols to dye their hair, this hair color is very rare among other colors like black and brown.

"I just dyed it a few days ago." Zhou Ziyu was originally glancing at Chi Jingyuan, and suddenly when she heard him talking to her, she immediately became lively, lifted her hair and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it.

"A new hair color for the new album?

"Ok!"

She nodded vigorously, then blinked and looked at Chi Jingyuan.

Chi Jingyuan knew what she wanted to say at a glance...

Does it look good?

Zhou Ziyu definitely wanted to ask this question, but she was probably a little embarrassed to ask it directly.

Chi Jingyuan took the opportunity to look up and down at Zhou Ziyu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, and his gaze slowly moved down from the purple hair.

A green sweatshirt is paired with denim hot pants, and two strong round legs are arrogantly exposed in white sneakers. Considering the temperature today, Chi Jingyuan feels cold just by looking at her... She is not wearing any makeup at all. Although her facial features remain the same, her complexion looks a little tired. Even her eyes don't seem as big as before. There is a little hair standing up between the ends of her purple hair, making her look messy.

He also wore a white name tag on his chest with the word "Tzuyu" written in big black letters in Korean, which made him look even more funny.

...This name tag is worn by the director and VJ to recognize people during rehearsals. The same goes for Gfriend on the stage. It's quite interesting to say that even in popular girl groups, there are many people in the circle who can't recognize who is who, and they need to rely on name tags to identify people.

...Maybe it's because they look too similar, or maybe it's because they're not popular enough.

For example, no one in EXO wore name tags at this time, and Ji Kyung-won didn’t see Girls’ Generation wearing any during rehearsals… We can only say that new generation girl groups like Twice and Gfriend still need to keep working hard.

"…It's a little dark."

Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, he hesitated for a moment. Chi Jingyuan still didn't say it directly, but expressed it in a tactful way.

Before Zhou Ziyu's face fell, Chi Jingyuan immediately looked at Jin Daxian who was eavesdropping openly next to him: "What about Daxian? Why did she tie a towel on her head during the rehearsal?"

I don’t know what this girl’s fashion aesthetic is. She wears a thick black coat and a blue knitted hat on her head. It is a very retro style, the kind that few people wear except old ladies in their sixties or seventies. It looks like a towel tied on her head.

When she and Chou Tzu-yu stand together, the two seem like two different seasons.

"Oppa, this is not a towel, it's a hat!"

Kim Da Hyun was stunned for a moment, then her face immediately turned bitter. She turned to Chi Jingyuan and looked at her hat seriously: "There is a small ball on the back, very cute."

She rubbed the small ball on the back of her hat, and seeing that Chi Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, she explained with a little disappointment: "Because I also dyed my hair, it's the color of the new album, and it can't be made public yet... You see~"

As she spoke, Kim Da-hyun carefully lifted up a corner of her hat, revealing the golden ends of her hair... It was not the ordinary golden color, but mixed with a little brown, which looked like a special bleaching and dyeing.

"Oh...then why doesn't she have to wear it?"

He nodded in understanding, but Chi Jingyuan immediately reacted and looked at Zhou Ziyu: "Then why doesn't she wear it? I think she might look a little better if she wears it."

"ah!"

"Pfft..."

Zhou Ziyu's angry voice and the laughter that she couldn't help came at the same time. When Zhou Ziyu couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Chi Jingyuan lightly, Chi Jingyuan naturally looked in the direction where the laughter came from...

I saw Lin Nayeon, with her head half lowered and her shoulders shaking constantly, grinning with her rabbit teeth, looking very happy... She was wearing a gray sweatshirt, and the hood that came with the sweatshirt was very tight on her head, making her look like a protruding taro.

But after noticing Chi Jingyuan's gaze, she immediately closed her mouth, coughed lightly, and looked away.

At this time, all three groups were not wearing any makeup, and were completely in their natural clothes. However, a few people from EXO wanted to be more modest in their natural looks, so they wore baseball caps. It was said to be fashionable but in fact it was just to cover up their ugliness. A few people from Twice might have worn hoodies and hats for the same purpose... The one with the rabbit teeth was obviously one of them.

Even eavesdropping, what poor quality!

Chi Jingyuan complained mercilessly in his heart... and then withdrew his gaze to look at Zhou Ziyu who was pouting and looking unhappy.

However, he didn't have the chance to appreciate Chou Tzuyu's new hair color, as Gfriend finished rehearsal and walked down, and it was Twcie's turn.

Before the three groups rehearsed their collaboration for “Roar” together, Twice also had their own solo special stage to rehearse…Ji Kyung-won watched them go on stage and smiled as soon as he heard the music.

It’s actually “GEE”!

This song is indeed a classic and a must-dance cover song for girl groups...but you have one more person!

While they were complaining in their hearts, Gfriend came down from the stage and stood beside them. Chi Jingyuan, Jin Shaoqing and a few others also started chatting casually, but their attention was attracted by Ming Jingnan on the stage.

Today, the girlfriend wore a large sweatshirt on the upper body, and tight black jeans and canvas shoes on the lower body. It was a very casual sporty style, but it was very much to Chi Jingyuan's liking.

He also likes girls who dress in a similar style. At the same time, he feels that tight pants that show off the leg lines, whether they are jeans or sweatpants, have a very special neighborly feel.

Plus, without any makeup, her still pretty face looks even more youthful...

After Twice finished "GEE", the three groups officially took the stage.

After walking onto the stage, the three groups that were chatting and laughing just now immediately turned serious and stood in their own places. Not to mention chatting, they didn't even make eye contact. The clear distinction was very touching.

Because there were already many spectators and fans waiting in the audience, and many people took out cameras and mobile phones to start filming after seeing these three groups. Their every move was under the watchful eyes of many people...

After the rehearsal of the collaborative stage ended, the three groups and the PD expressed their gratitude and left the stage. Along the way, there was no chance to talk to Mingjing Nan. After returning, they just sat in their original seats and chatted casually with other members... However, Ji Jingyuan had just returned and sat there for less than half an hour before he came out with the members again. They were going to start rehearsing their own stage.

The order of the rehearsal was according to the order of the official performance. What was interesting was that the collaboration stage of "Roar" was right after Twice's "GEE", and the first song of EXO's own stage, "DOPE", was also right after Twice's "Cheer Up"... They watched Twice's rehearsal for a while at the entrance.

EXO is the last few groups to perform in today's concert compilation. Following them are only senior groups like Girls' Generation and SHinee. Twice has only been debuted for one year and has been able to get to this order of performance. It can only be said that their recent popularity is really not to be underestimated.

I have made it big~

…………

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, as the three MCs came on stage and began to give speeches, today's performance officially began.

Today's lineup is really strong. Basically all the popular Kpop groups are here. Even EXO and Girls' Generation, which haven't had many group activities this year, are all present. It can be seen how much importance the organizers attach to this.

The audience was also very enthusiastic. Today was not like an ordinary compilation concert where the number of fans entering was counted. Today, fans of each group only accounted for a small part of the audience, and the rest were mostly passers-by and even overseas tourists. There was no distinction between who they were from, and almost everyone was very enthusiastic. Even if you were sitting in the lounge, you could hear the cheers like thunder.

The audience seats were bustling with activity, there were lively songs and dances on the stage, and the backstage was busy with people coming and going. Idols and staff kept coming in and out, and Cody was also in front of the dressing table doing the final touches on the artists' makeup. The whole scene was lively and joyous.

Ji Jingyuan sat with Kim Taeyeon, Lim Yoona and other Girls' Generation nuns, watching the performance outside through the monitor in the lounge while chatting with a few sisters.

The focus of the conversation was "The K2", which just started airing recently. The show has been aired for three weeks and the ratings and response are pretty good. It can be seen that Yoona is in a good mood and has not been affected by the slanderous remarks of some black fans on the Internet that "the female lead is not as good as the supporting actress."

Ji Jingyuan, in his dual capacity as a fan of both his acting and the drama, kept asking about things related to the filming, because today the crew had just released a promotional picture of Ji Changwook giving artificial respiration to his senior in the drama...and senior Yoona was also very interested in talking about some interesting things about the filming, and the briskness in her words made Ji Jingyuan a little envious.

Although at this time, in an area not far away sat Ming Jingnan, his girlfriend, Bae Joo-hyun's ex-girlfriend, and even Son Na-eun, his girlfriend from who knows how long ago, and being stared at from time to time would make him feel uneasy, Ji Jingyuan behaved very naturally.

They didn't know each other, so there was no special meaning between them, and he didn't need to worry too much.

Go on stage, perform, leave, change clothes, wait for the next performance, interspersed with various collaborative stages, and time passes by minute by minute.

At halftime, it was finally their turn to perform together. Under the surprised gazes of most of the audience, the three groups walked onto the stage and instantly attracted everyone's attention. Before the music started, screams of surprise broke out.

EXO, Twice, and Gfriend are the most popular boy and girl groups nowadays. The appeal of their collaborative stages to the audience is self-evident. It is really hard to find any collaboration partners more popular than them nowadays.

However, there were also some crazy fans of a certain group whose faces changed when they saw the boy group or girl group cooperate. They stared at their idols closely, not very happily, for fear that there would be some actions that would scare him.

Fortunately, there were no intimate interactions on this collaborative stage, which allowed the fans who had been worried to breathe a sigh of relief. They changed their mindset and began to appreciate the collaborative stage of two classic boy group songs performed by the three most powerful boy and girl groups.

It's really hard to see it in normal times...

But some little ambiguities are not noticed by anyone at all.

"I Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong you~"

As they entered the second chorus, Chi Jingyuan naturally moved to the far right of the team, and Ming Jingnan also came to the far left of the team. The two stood side by side, very close to each other, feeling the gentle sound of the wind brought by the dance moves of their lover next to them, while dancing to the standard choreography of "Roar" with strong movements.

"I Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong you~"

The two of them followed the team and performed the classic knocking movements. Chi Jingyuan could even feel Xiaonan's shaking hair brushing against his arm. In just five or six seconds, their hands almost touched several times.

Chi Jingyuan only felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate. This kind of subtle excitement was the first time he felt it on stage. He always felt this way, and he believed that Ming Jingnan felt it even stronger than him... It was a pity that before he could savor it, the next large-scale movement was about to begin, and the two of them quickly moved away from each other.

The experience just now was never repeated until the end of both songs, but when the dance ended and they left the stage, just after leaving the audience's sight and walking backstage, Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan looked at each other tacitly, one raised his eyebrows, the other pursed his lips, and smiled at each other.

Seeing his girlfriend say these words to the members as she left, stomping her feet in excitement, Chi Jingyuan felt that the collaborative stage was really interesting, and it would be nice if there were more of them in the future...

……

"Get ready, it's almost our turn."

When Twice went on stage again to perform, EXO, who had already changed their clothes, was reminded by the stage staff. Kim Junmyeon clapped his hands, stood up and led everyone and the staff out to wait in the backstage area.

At the opening of "DOPE", Ji Kyung-won and Kim Junmyeon both have a solo performance, so they don't go on stage with the other members. Kim Junmyeon will sneak up from the employee passage to start the show, while Ji Kyung-won will appear directly in the middle of the venue via the elevator, and the other members will walk out directly through the screen door.

He left the main group and followed the staff to the elevator alone. The music of "Cheer Up" had not ended yet. The sound was deafening when it reached his eardrums at a close distance. He could even hear footsteps above his head from where he was standing.

Chi Jingyuan stood next to the elevator, and the assistant beside him helped him check his makeup and in-ear monitors. When everything was ready, the assistant made an OK gesture. Chi Jingyuan also nodded with a smile and also made an OK gesture. At the same time, he took a deep breath to adjust his breathing, silently listened to the "cheer up" music that had already ended above, and began to wait for the instructions of the on-site PD and the opening of the elevator.

But before he had waited a minute, a blinding light came from above his head. The opening of the lift platform had slowly opened, and the brilliant light from the large screen on the stage outside came through the opening, making the waiting area, which had been a little dim, suddenly bright.

Chi Jingyuan was indeed a little surprised... because the music of "Cheer Up" had just ended not long ago. Logically speaking, it would take at least dozens of seconds for the idol to leave the stage, and the stage transition would also take at least some time. He had been counting in his mind, and Kim Junmyeon hadn't even come on stage yet, but the door of the lift opened much faster than he expected.

At the same time, he did not hear the director's reminder to go on stage through the earphone monitor... But the door was already opened, and he did not think too much about it. He stood up naturally, supported the microphone on the right cheek, and half-knelt down to wait for the elevator to start.

However, he had been squatting on the lift for less than ten seconds when he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes. The colorful light that was originally shining in from the opening above seemed to be blocked by something, casting a trembling shadow on his face. At the same time, an extremely terrified scream pierced his eardrums, which was still extremely clear even in such a noisy environment outside.

It was so clear that it seemed as if it was shouted from three or four meters above...

The next moment, before he could even look up, he saw a helpless figure falling from above in his peripheral vision. He had no time to think about what had happened, nor did he have time to guess who it was or judge where it would fall.

He was so shocked that his mind went blank. He just pushed forward reflexively, stretched out his dominant right hand, and took it...
