Chapter 822 I Don’t Want to Hide It Anymore
"Where are you?" The familiar voice of my second brother came from the phone.
"I'm busy. If you have something to say, please speak up."
"Do you think I don't know that you have a day off today? What are you busy with? Forget it... Nuna's birthday is in two days, remember to call her and don't forget the gift."
"Do you even need to say this?"
"You're so arrogant now. I haven't seen you for months. How should I know whether to remind you?"
Chi Jingxu on the phone made a sarcastic remark, and then without waiting for Chi Jingyuan to fight back, he immediately got down to business: "It's like this, I called my dad a few days ago and talked about your school... You have been studying in Yonsei for several years, and you are already a senior this year. You will graduate soon, right?"
"Um, it seems so."
Hearing this topic, Chi Jingyuan paused and responded in a muffled voice.
Not counting the year he took a leave of absence right after debuting, he has already graduated...
How come time goes by so fast?
He didn't need to think to know what his second brother was going to say next.
"There are only a few months left in your senior year. Will you have any problem graduating by then? How many times have you been to school in the past few years? I'm sure you won't pass the attendance test alone, right?"
"Do you still remember that the reason your family agreed to let you enter the entertainment industry as an idol was because you were admitted to university, although this diploma is actually useless... But if you can't graduate from university, I don't care. Oh, dad and others have to save face. You can imagine how they will react at that time."
Ming Jingnan leaned quietly behind Chi Jingyuan, listening to a somewhat unfamiliar voice coming from the phone. Although she had never heard of this voice before, Chi Jingxu's appearance quickly appeared in her mind. She had met her boyfriend's brother at the police station and at the family concert, and she had a very deep impression of him.
But now, listening to the tone of their conversation, I always feel that the Chi Jingxu in my impression, who is serious and has a strong aura, does not seem to be as arrogant and unapproachable as he appears...
Moreover...she secretly glanced at Chi Jingyuan. It turned out that her boyfriend, who seemed to be omnipotent, also had a headache~
"I've been working on my thesis for a long time, and I checked my credits. If nothing goes wrong, it should be..."
Chi Jingyuan's tone was obviously hesitant: "It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
At the same time, he felt conflicted and a little anxious.
At the end of every year, academic matters are always Chi Jingyuan's biggest headache. He is not a good student to begin with, and he is also extremely busy with work. Every time he comes home from work and sees those textbooks, he gets a headache.
I've made it through the four years, but this year is my graduation year, and it's not as simple as before. Credits, papers, professional grades, and all kinds of things all come together.
Although it is not a big deal if you cannot graduate this year, you can pay more attention next year, go to school more often and make up for your attendance, and you will be able to graduate successfully then. Chi Jingyuan will still be able to get the title of "Yonsei University graduate" by then, it's just a year later.
Didn’t Yoona senior spend several years at Dongguk University? She is 4 years older than me, but she just graduated last year. She even took so many photos in her bachelor’s gown, looking like a top student. If you don’t know her, you might think she’s a top student…
But... Although Chi Jingyuan wanted to pay tribute to his idol, he also knew that what his second brother said was right. It would be a bit embarrassing if he could not graduate this year. Even if others didn't say anything about it, his parents would definitely have opinions, and at that time they might really force him to go back to school.
It’s a bit overwhelming just thinking about it.
"...I have contacted Professor Jin, and he said that he can be flexible with attendance, and there is no problem with it, but you will have to rely on yourself for the thesis and other exams..."
"Well... that's all right, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and gave his second brother a thumbs up in his heart.
Even if his grades are average, at least he still has some cultural background, which is much better than those high school students. It shouldn't be a problem for him to cram at the last minute... and isn't the thesis also in charge of Professor Jin?
Finally I don’t have to pay tribute to my idol… It’s a bit of a pity when I think about it.
"You must keep it in mind. This is not what I said, but what my father said..."
Chi Jingxu gave a final warning, and only felt relieved after Chi Jingyuan patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem. After casually asking about Chi Jingyuan's recent situation, his tone changed, and he entered the teasing time for his younger brother as usual: "By the way, I just found out...did you bring a girl home some time ago?"
Chi Jingyuan had just given a thumbs up to his second brother in his heart, but suddenly, his mind took a turn and he paused as if by reflex when he heard Chi Jingxu's joking question.
Sure enough, he immediately felt the hands around his waist suddenly tighten, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"It's been so long...how did you know?"
But Chi Jingyuan remained calm, looking relieved as if nothing had happened, and asked in a calm tone, somewhat curiously.
"I was on a business trip a while ago. I heard the servants tell me about it when I came back a few days ago. I didn't pay much attention to it at first..."
Chi Jingxu explained casually, and then he started to torture Chi Jingyuan with great interest and playfulness: "It's okay that you play outside every day, but this is the first time I see you bring a girl home. What's the matter, Master Chi, you are tired of being an idol and are ready to retire and get married?"
"Stop imagining things with your disgusting mind."
The second brother was getting more and more outrageous. Even without turning around, Chi Jingyuan could feel Ming Jingnan's body becoming a little stiff. He couldn't help but curse loudly and quickly explained: "There were too many people outside that day, so it was inconvenient. I just went to the cinema at home to watch a movie... And it's not the kind of relationship you think, just a familiar friend."
Although he appeared calm on the outside, Chi Jingyuan had cursed countless times in his heart.
Oh my god, I should have known not to use the hands-free mode...
"Maybe... But, tsk tsk, you never brought your first love home... Oh, no, now I remember, you invited her many times, but she didn't want to, hahahahaha."
Clearly feeling that he had caught his brother's sore spot again, Chi Jingxu's laughter on the phone sounded extremely arrogant.
"Ah...Chi Jingxu, why don't you just die?"
“Hahaha, don’t be angry, it’s not cute at all… Okay, okay, it’s up to you. But remember to bring it when I’m home next time so I can open my eyes…”
Facing his second brother's provocation, Chi Jingyuan's breathing became a little heavy, and he didn't want to respond to him at all: "Anything else?"
"Let me think... I heard that you bought a new property some time ago?"
"Well, I bought it in the first half of the year, what's wrong with that?"
"You are a big star indeed. Don't you have too much money to spend? Your family owns dozens of houses in the center of Seoul alone, not to mention other districts. You change houses every day and never repeat them for a month. Are you crazy to pay for them yourself?"
"You're right. I just have too much money and don't know where to spend it... Apart from the money I gave you for investment, I still have quite a lot of my dividends from last year. I'm just sitting there with nothing to do..."
Chi Jingyuan responded with a bad tone, and he felt the body behind him soften a little. After a pause, he said casually: "Besides, the feeling of buying it yourself is still different from the one at home."
"What's the difference?"
Obviously disagreeing with Chi Jingyuan's words, the second brother said in a strange tone: "If you have too much money and don't know where to spend it, I can just take over my shares in JYP and sell them to you at a discount."
"I'm not interested. I'm a good idol... and it doesn't matter who gets it, right?"
"Well, whatever you want..."
He hadn't chatted with his younger brother for a long time, and he was in a very good mood after this phone call. The second brother did not deny Chi Jingyuan's statement. After saying a few words, he lazily said goodbye: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore..."
"Oh yeah, there's one more thing."
When he was about to hang up the phone, he seemed to remember something, and this time his second brother's tone became much more serious: "You should have seen the news, the one a few days ago... The wind direction on the peninsula is not very good recently, and there may be major changes in the political arena. You should be careful and keep a low profile."
Hearing his second brother's serious tone, Chi Jingyuan's expression also became serious.
A major event recently occurred on the peninsula, which had a profound impact on all walks of life.
In fact, there were some foreshadowings a long time ago, but they were only exposed a few days ago.
Ever since the news about "interference in politics" came out a few days ago, the situation on the peninsula has suddenly become weird. As more and more revelations come out, the upper class is becoming more and more turbulent, and the lower class citizens are also talking about it. Even the entertainment and literary industries have been affected a lot, and have obviously restrained themselves in many aspects.
However, although the top management looked like the situation was turbulent, Chi Jingyuan was quite open-minded and just wanted to watch the fun.
"I know... but I've always been very low-key..." He stretched out his hand and tapped the keyboard. He responded seriously at first, and then his tone became casual: "And what does it have to do with me? I'm just an idol."
"It's enough if you understand...Remember graduation! I'm hanging up~"
As the call was hung up, the atmosphere around them suddenly became a little weird. Chi Jingyuan looked at him, and Ming Jingnan behind him didn't say anything. He still hugged him as before, but his mood was obviously changed because of what he had just heard.
“It’s Tzuyu…”
However, Chi Jingyuan did not seem to notice the change in the atmosphere. Instead, he spoke frankly, "Last month, or something, we agreed to go to the movies together. It was the movie Train to Busan."
"Um……"
Although he didn't turn around, Ming Jingnan knew that her boyfriend was explaining to her. She nodded her head and responded softly.
"But it was a holiday, and there were too many people outside. We looked for several places but none of them were very convenient. I happened to have a private cinema at home, so we came back and watched it at home..."
Chi Jingyuan narrated the whole incident in a concise manner. At this time, we must not hide anything.
And what he said was absolutely right. They were just watching a movie innocently... except that their companion was Chou Tzu-yu, and there was an immature stolen kiss during the process.
“It’s Tzuyu…”
Ming Jingnan's face was pressed against Chi Jingyuan's back, and his voice was vague and somewhat subtle.
Although Ming Jingnan was shocked and sad when he first heard Brother Chi say this, after Chi Jingyuan's explanation, he gradually tried to suppress this emotion...at least that's the case now.
And although they didn't have much contact, I could tell something from this phone call...Chi Jingyuan's brother, who looked very serious, didn't seem to be so serious when he was with his family in private.
If it were anyone else, she would still feel a little unhappy and justifiably jealous, but when it came to Chou Tzuyu...she always felt a little guilty.
It was as if she had snatched away the other person's most precious thing... Even though she had mustered up the courage and pursued her love openly at the time, and the other person and Chi Jingyuan actually had no ambiguous relationship.
But, there is still a little bit of that feeling.
Chi Jingyuan paused, casually looked at his girlfriend's expression, then shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression: "It's a very simple thing, my brother likes to joke... Next time we have time, we will go back together."
"Um……"
Ming Jingnan nodded first, then leaned on Chi Jingyuan and said softly: "This place is actually quite good."
If Chi Jingyuan had said this before, she would have been very happy, but now... she always felt like someone had taken the lead.
"It's quite nice. This is the property I bought myself... But at least I can recognize the door and be considered a guest."
"Good~"
Mingjing Nan responded obediently and then said nothing else.
She didn't know whether she had let go of the matter in her heart. She just lay quietly on Chi Jingyuan's back, as if thinking about something.
"Gen-chan, what are you doing?"
After a while, Ming Jingnan's emotions calmed down a bit. He listened to the sound of keyboards and gradually became interested. He sat up from the sofa, leaned on Chi Jingyuan, looked at the computer and asked curiously: "Is this... what lyrics are you writing?"
"Didn't I mention to you last time that I wanted to collaborate with you on a song?"
Chi Jingyuan nodded and turned his head to look at Ming Jingnan's profile.
"Is this the song?" Ming Jingnan's eyes lit up when he heard it. He stared at the fragmented words on the screen, and was instantly filled with anticipation and seriousness.
Feeling the eagerness and joy of his girlfriend next to him, Chi Jingyuan reached out to adjust the angle at which she was leaning, and said while looking at the screen:
"Well, this is the song I told you about before. The melody is almost done... but I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't had time to write the lyrics yet. And I don't want to write the lyrics casually like ordinary Kpop songs. I want to write... something more realistic and romantic, as a kind of commemoration... So there hasn't been much progress recently, and there are only a few words so far."
Mingjing Nan stared at the screen without blinking, her mouth slightly opened: "Is this the new song written by Gen-chan?"
“It’s not really new…”
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan shook his head, raised his head and looked at the ceiling and recalled: "In fact, after the fireworks festival ended that day, I sent you to the station, and on the way back, I had already had inspiration. At that time, the general concept of the melody and song had already appeared in my mind..."
"Even for me, it's rare for me to have such a burst of inspiration in all these years, and when the ideas are so clear... I was quite surprised myself, and then I thought about it..."
He chuckled, looked at Mingjingnan's profile and lips so close to him, and tilted his head: "Maybe it's because you look really good in a yukata."
"..."
The simple joke was like thunder and drums, causing Ming Jingnan's heart to roar. She looked at her boyfriend's smiling face with hazy eyes, blinked, and then looked at the few lines of lyrics that had just been written on the computer:
"I still think back to the coastline I saw that day."
"The words carved on the beach, and... your back."
She stared at the two lines of lyrics in a daze, and the scene engraved in her memory instantly emerged. Uncontrollable emotion surged from her heart. At this moment, she really wanted to hug her boyfriend and give him a sweet kiss.
But at the same time, I suddenly remembered the "movie" just now, remembered Chou Tzuyu, and remembered many things.
Ming Jingnan's mood, which had been very good today, suddenly became complicated. He suddenly became quiet and stared at the screen in front of him in a daze.
She didn't know how long she was silent. Chi Jingyuan beside her had already started typing on the keyboard again. She sniffed lightly, pursed her lips, and her eyes suddenly became serious and determined.
She buried her face in Chi Jingyuan's shoulder and called out softly, her voice a little muffled by Chi Jingyuan.
"Yuan-chan~"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and asked casually.
"Before, didn't I tell anyone about you and me except Sana?"
"Ah."
"Now...I don't want to hide it anymore."
