Chapter 964 Followed closely

After leaving home, the car fell into a brief silence.

Both Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan seemed to be thinking about what happened in the villa just now. Chi Jingyuan was fine. He just happened to meet her sister when he was bringing a girl home. It was no big deal.

But Ming Jingnan's thoughts were a little complicated. It was the first time she met her boyfriend's family, but she didn't expect such a scene. Although the atmosphere during the dinner was pretty good after chatting, she also said a few words to Ji Hyun-jung.

But when she thought about what she was wearing when she met Ji Hyun-jung, and how Ji Hyun-jung was sitting downstairs listening to the noise when she and Ji Kyung-won were kissing on the second floor, she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable all over.

It ruined my originally very good mood today.

After a while, she looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked tentatively, "Director Chi... Does Hyun Jung-unnie not like me very much?"

Chi Jingyuan, who was driving, suddenly heard her ask this and turned his head quickly to glance at Ming Jingnan's worried eyes. He clearly felt her anxiety. Chi Jingyuan turned around and said nothing more. He just pursed his lips, exhaled and said casually: "If I really have a big opinion about you... I wouldn't ask you to have dinner together later."

"Besides being very fond of me and being kind, Nuna has a very serious personality." Chi Jingyuan continued while driving, "If she really hated you, she wouldn't give you face even if I was here, let alone invite you to have dinner together... She and my brother are both that kind..."

He shook his head and didn't finish the rest of his words.

His brothers and sisters are the typical kind of people who have the arrogance of rich kids rooted deep in their hearts.

Although he himself has a lot of arrogance, he rarely shows it in normal times.

Speaking of his sister, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what he remembered. Suddenly his expression froze and he smiled helplessly.

But in fact, he knew very well that if he really brought his girlfriend to meet Ji Hyun-jung, even if his sister didn't like him, even if she looked down on his profession, academic qualifications, background and origin, she would still give face to her most beloved brother and be more friendly.

...But from a long time ago to now, Chi Jingyuan has no idea how many girlfriends he has dated, and he has met her more than once or twice. Chi Xianjing really doesn't know which one is the real one and which one needs to be treated with care.

After there were too many of them, she was too lazy to think about them and just ignored them all... she would have a new face in a couple of days anyway.

Now that I think about it, Ji Hyun-jung's invitation to Ming Jingnan to have dinner together today was already a relatively enthusiastic and optimistic sign.

"Is that so..."

After hearing his words, Ming Jingnan paused for a moment, blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt a little relieved.

"Oh right..." After a while, as if she remembered something, she asked curiously, "Why? Then you asked me if I have a tattoo?"

"Because she hates tattoos... small ones are acceptable, but large ones are abhorrent."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the road ahead and said calmly, "Or maybe it's not just tattoos, she doesn't like anything non-mainstream... She's said that to me several times before."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Ming Jingnan nodded her forehead as if she suddenly realized something, but she was secretly happy in her heart... She didn't have a tattoo either, and her family didn't like it either.

In fact, after hearing what Chi Jingyuan said, it seems that the two sides are somewhat similar.

"Okay, don't worry about me, Nuna."

Seeing Ming Jingnan pursed her lips in thought, as if she was still thinking about Chi Xianjing's preferences, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but interrupt her thoughts: "This time it was really just a coincidence, I didn't know she would come back tonight... Noona is so busy with work, I don't know when we will meet next time, so there's no need to take it to heart."

This meeting was really accidental.

And to be honest, Chi Jingyuan doesn't really like involving both parties' families when he's in a relationship, whether it's meeting his own family or the other person's family.

Although he was not afraid of meeting the parents, and was confident that he could handle it well and win the other party's favor...but he felt that it was just a relationship, and it was unclear what would happen in the future, and it was not a marriage, so there was no need to do this.

If you happen to meet each other's family during a relationship, just say hello politely. There is no need for in-depth communication... at least wait until you have been dating for a while.

"Um……"

When Mingjing Nan heard his words, she smiled softly and responded, as if she had listened to him and then became quiet. But after a while, she turned her head and looked out the window.

Although Chi Jingyuan didn't say it explicitly, and it was to comfort her, Ming Jingnan, who was smart, keenly heard some hidden meanings in her boyfriend's words... But after she realized this meaning, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she was not as simple as Chi Jingyuan thought.

Because, what she wants in her heart is not just a casual relationship of a few months or a year, where they can be together if they like each other and break up if they don’t like each other... She may have thought so at the beginning, but now she can’t live without the person next to her.

Ming Jingnan was looking at the street outside in a daze. For the first time, she felt a little angry because of Chi Jingyuan's words.

The experienced Chi Jingyuan seemed to have noticed something. After a while, he glanced at Ming Jingnan who was looking outside quietly, and suddenly broke the silence: "Don't think about it. Even if we meet again, Nuna won't mind that you didn't wear much clothes when we met today... maybe she will think you look good in that outfit."

His tone was not comforting, but rather lazily: "Just keep wearing it when you get back later."

As expected, Ming Jingnan, whose pain point was touched, immediately turned around, with red cheeks. It was not known whether it was because of this sentence or to vent the discomfort just now, but she glared at him fiercely:

"Pooh!"

…………

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at their apartment. After arriving at their place, Mingjing Nan looked obviously much more relaxed.

The home appliances and tableware here were bought at the suggestion of Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan, so there are all kinds of ovens, baking utensils and ingredients. After coming in, Ming Jingnan seemed to have thrown everything before aside, and as soon as he smoothed his shoes, he rushed to the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to cook for Chi Jingyuan with great skill.

Having nothing to do, Chi Jingyuan did not wait outside. He leaned against the kitchen door and tilted his head to watch his girlfriend cooking inside.

It's true, as soon as Mingjing Nan tied her hair, rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron, and stood in front of the stove, the star aura of a popular idol immediately disappeared, and she really looked like a good wife and mother.

Looking at her delicate profile and well-defined jaw, the way she occasionally lifted her drooping hair and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, Chi Jingyuan at the door suddenly became absent-minded as he watched.

But after watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan felt a little bored. It seemed that cooking was too boring, so he started to make trouble. He suddenly gave it to her from behind, hugged her, smeared cream on each other's faces, and then wiped it off with his mouth, and other small interesting things happened, and there was a constant stream of sweet laughter.

They played and worked at the same time for two hours, and finally had dinner when they were both starving.

Looking at the several plates of exquisite-looking meals and rice bowls on the table, Chi Jingyuan picked up his chopsticks and tasted them. Facing Ming Jingnan who looked expectant and a little nervous, he raised his eyebrows slightly after chewing twice.

It can’t be said to be particularly good, and it is certainly not as good as those professional restaurants... But to Chi Jingyuan’s surprise, the taste is actually quite good, much better than he imagined.

At least, from the perspective of a popular idol who is less than 20 years old and is very busy, this level is already very good... It seems that what Mingjing Nan said about them learning this when they were young was not just talk.

"not bad."

Chi Jingyuan tasted two bites of each and gave a very objective evaluation.

Ming Jingnan, who had been a little nervous just now, immediately became happy when he heard that. He narrowed his eyes and smiled with his gums showing. He didn't even take off his apron and squeezed next to Chi Jingyuan to start eating together.

After finishing their meal, they seemed to have had a good rest. After cleaning up the dishes, the two of them hugged each other and rolled around in the bed again.

Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan have a lot of similarities. Even their actions and hobbies of staying in bed are exactly the same. They hug each other and stay in the bed together, unwilling to move at all. After staying in bed for a whole hour, Ming Jingnan finally remembered something, pulled him up and said that she had prepared something fun for him to see.

Then Chi Jingyuan saw what she took out of the cabinet and held in front of him like a treasure... a large puzzle of nine people of Twice. Judging from the pattern, it was the same poster style as "TT" released at the end of last year.

Looking at this puzzle that was almost two meters long and Ming Jingnan smiling as if she wanted to play with him, Chi Jingyuan's heart was instantly filled with helplessness.

He found another difference between the two of them... Sometimes this girl's preferences left him confused.

But since they were bored anyway, they decided to have some fun. After a while, the two of them spread the puzzle on the floor, took it apart, then pasted the original poster on the wall and started to piece it together again.

It's just a pity that maybe the incident in the villa just now left a shadow on her. Even when she arrived at her own place, Ming Jingnan seemed to be worried that someone might fall from the sky again. So she said she would never dress as casually as before. Obviously, there were only two of them, and the posture of sitting on the ground to do the puzzle was very suitable for the shirt and underwear combination she had worn in the villa before... but she still put on a pair of shorts properly, which was a bit disappointing.

But Chi Jingyuan soon stopped caring about it and instead started to work on the puzzle.

"Hehe, this shouldn't be placed here." Ming Jingnan had already pieced his face together, but when he saw Chi Jingyuan holding that piece of the puzzle and couldn't put it in the right place no matter how hard he tried, racking his brains and looking anxious, he couldn't help but laugh twice and reminded him with his eyes.

“Isn’t this right here?”

Chi Jingyuan frowned, showing the puzzle in his hand, and shouted impatiently: "How could it not be here? This big buck tooth is obviously Lin Nayeon's. Look for yourself, whose front teeth are as obvious as hers..."

Under him was one-third of Lim Nayeon's face. He waved a pair of big buck teeth in his hands, wishing he could stuff the puzzle piece in his hand directly into Lim Nayeon's eyes to connect her incomplete face.

"Haha, it's Unnie's tooth, but you can't just piece it under the eye, there are still several pieces in the middle."

"What about her nose... Ah Xi, she looks so ugly when she smiles so hard."

Ming Jingnan couldn't help but giggle. She finally discovered that the omnipotent Chi Jingyuan had an area that he was not good at.

However, when a boyfriend and girlfriend are together, the puzzle is secondary. The main thing is the atmosphere of playing together. After Ji Jingyuan finished puzzleing Lin Nayeon with the help of Ming Jingnan, he seemed to have adjusted his mentality. The two chatted while puzzle was being put together.

"...'Fireworks'? I think I'll start planning it after my solo activities are over, and I'll try to release it in the middle of the year."

Hearing his girlfriend's concern, Ji Jingyuan stepped on Lin Nayeon's face and buck teeth, hugged Kim Dahyun, thought for a while and replied: "This year EXO will try to develop more deeply in Japan, and there will be more activities. My company and I are very optimistic that the song "Fireworks" will help the group's activities, so it will be completed before the big group returns."

"XO, are you going to Neon this year too?"

"Twice is also going to break into Japan?"

"Yes, I mentioned it in the previous meeting. I heard from my agent that TT seems to be very popular in Japan, and that we have great potential... and we have three Japanese members, which is a big advantage."

"That's true... But what a coincidence that we are both going to have activities there this year? Then maybe we can meet in Neon. Then it will be your home court. Mina-senpai, don't forget to treat me to a meal and take care of the newcomer."

Chi Jingyuan made a joke, and Ming Jingnan responded by giving him a kiss on the face.

As she was talking, Mingjing Nan's cell phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it, then suddenly smiled: "Sana-chan and Momo-chan are eating, and they asked me what I was doing."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan leaned over to take a look. On his phone was a photo that had just been sent to him. In the photo, Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo were sitting at the dining table eating. Hirai Momo was holding a spoon in one hand and putting it into her mouth while making a scissors hand gesture to the camera. Minatozaki Sana was holding the phone and smiling. Although she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, because of her posture, she showed a little bit of cleavage in the camera, which looked more obvious than that of MOMO next to her... It seemed that this was the photo she sent.

After Chi Jingyuan's eyes swept across the two people's faces, he looked at the food in front of them and asked curiously: "Why are you eating all Sarah?"

"Because we are about to make a comeback, the company has very high requirements for our body management. Sana-chan and the others also take it very seriously and have been eating very little recently."

Mingjing Nan typed a reply while explaining to her boyfriend with a smile: "And they often go to the gym these two days. They have been working out during the past two days off. They just came out of the gym now."

"Did Momo go too?" Chi Jingyuan asked, but Mingjingnan replied that he already knew the answer. Then he looked at Sana Minato's face in the photo and said casually, "But Sana has really lost a lot of weight. I remember when you just debuted... even when I was your producer last year, she was still a little chubby. That little calf... now she looks so thin."

"Well, Sana-chan has indeed changed a lot. Her body flexibility is not very good, but she works out very hard and spends time in the gym whenever she has free time. She wants her fans to see her best side."

Mingjing Nan nodded vigorously and said in agreement: "Sana-chan and Momo-chan are both very hardworking people. Not only Sana-chan, but when Momo-chan was a trainee before her debut, she needed to lose weight drastically because her figure did not meet the standards. She only ate ice cubes for a long time. It was really hard..."

With some memories in his mind, Ming Jingnan began to tell the story.

Chi Jingyuan listened and looked at Ming Jingnan... Although his girlfriend only mentioned the other two neon lines, he knew that Ming Jingnan was actually a very hard-working and persistent person... The victory in the Idol Games and the scars on her body were enough proof.

After pausing for a moment, he glanced at the time on Ming Jingnan's mobile phone and found that it was almost 12 o'clock, which meant that the traditional New Year's Eve was approaching.

He quickly took out his mobile phone, walked to the window, found some strange angles to take a few photos, logged into INS and posted a short blessing message, then logged into Weibo in the mainland and updated a Chinese blessing blog post.

Before I had time to read the fans' replies, the time had already reached midnight. The next second, my phone kept ringing. Just like in previous years, many friends sent me blessing messages.

The first one was from Chou Tzuyu, followed by Wu Sehun and XO members, Kim Taeyeon, Lim Yoona...Lin Nayeon actually sent one as well. Looking at the serious words in the message, Chi Jingyuan's eyes flashed with her face. Thinking about how he had just stepped on her face and her buck teeth, he suddenly felt a little weird.

Later, Pei Zhuxuan also posted a message...

There was even a message from the second brother Chi Jingxu, who was far away on the other side of the ocean but somehow heard about what happened in the villa today. The text message he sent was full of ridicule: "I heard that you brought your girlfriend home and was caught by your elder sister? This one seems to be a little more attentive than the others? But I searched for photos of your girlfriend and didn't find anything special. Is there any strength or talent that can't be seen?"

Looking at his second brother's teasing tone and lazy words, Chi Jingyuan snorted in his heart in annoyance.

I am so ignorant... My body becomes hot as soon as my ears are touched. Isn't that a talent?

"Did you receive the blessing message?"

The continuous ringing of the mobile phone also attracted Ming Jingnan's attention. She leaned over to Chi Jingyuan and asked curiously.

Chi Jingyuan selected a few and quickly replied to them. Then he threw his phone away, pulled Ming Jingnan up, and stroked her earlobe with his right hand: "No more reading, let's go play games."

"Don't touch here!"

Unlike previous years, during the Spring Festival, Chi Jingyuan is either running around or staying at home with his family, watching TV and browsing his phone out of boredom.

But this year, he and Ming Jingnan were in a room for two people, playing games lively. The lights in the room were dim yellow, and the excited shouting of the two people in front of the two computers side by side echoed continuously.

Although this activity is simple, it makes two people who really love each other very happy.

"I'm on it, follow me!"

"Go ahead, do it!"

…………

The morning after the Spring Festival, Chi Jingyuan sent Ming Jingnan back to the company. Twice had a lot of things to do next and would be busy for a while.

Not only her, Chi Jingyuan also has a lot of things to do. He has to start making final preparations and confirmations for some trivial matters for his solo album.

Including the choice of performances, although all the major TV stations' performance programs have invited him, Chi Jingyuan will not perform too many times and will only participate in a few major TV programs in the first two weeks. After all, his seniority and status have reached this level, and it would be a bit cheap for him to appear on every program.

There is also the choice of variety shows. After the news of his upcoming solo debut, many variety shows have also sent him invitations, including some of the most popular TV variety shows in the past six months. However, Chi Jingyuan himself is not very good at variety show comedy, and he does not need the popularity of variety shows, so he is also preparing to select two to show his face...mainly to satisfy the fans' wish to see him

In addition, there are album pre-sales, the start time of personal variety shows, details of personal concerts, etc. Unlike when XO first debuted, he just had to wait for the company to arrange everything. The downside of being the main person in charge of album planning is that he has to worry about everything himself.

There haven't been many highlights in the music industry recently. The solo competition between Seo Ju-hyun and Bae Suzy lost its original popularity after the outcome became clear. Seo Ju-hyun is still promoting her songs, but Bae Suzy, after winning a few first places, has already withdrawn to shoot commercials using the residual heat of the hit "Goblin."

At the same time, there are no major groups releasing songs recently, but some second- and third-tier groups such as NCT 127, Cosmic Girls, and CLC have taken this opportunity to return, making the music industry look somewhat lively.

Two days passed quickly. On January 1, the day after the Spring Festival, SM Entertainment released two important news. First, it announced that its boy group NCT Dream would release its first single album since its debut on February 29, and released the album cover and concept photos.

Immediately afterwards, the latest materials and member photos of red velet's fourth mini album, which had already been announced and confirmed to return on February 2, were released, and the trailer for the title song "Rookie" was also released.

Although NCT Dream is an underage boy group that debuted not long ago, it has attracted a large number of fans due to its unique setting and the inherent advantages of SM company. After hearing that their idols are finally going to release an album, all fans were extremely excited and announced their full support. At the same time, they began to look forward to the performance of NCT Dream's first album online.

As for Red Velvet, since everyone knew they were going to make a comeback a long time ago, it wasn't that surprising. However, the cheerful melody in the preview clip and the brand new looks of the five members of Red Velvet immediately made every fan feel very happy. They couldn't wait to jump to the comeback date on February 2st to witness their idols achieve even better results and regain their position as the top girl group of the new generation.

Although the two groups have close comeback dates and are in direct competition, there is not much tension between their fans because everyone knows that one of them is not the top trending group where the others' comeback will be invalid if only one of them releases a song. The fan bases of both sides are also completely different. They are from the same company and have appeared in many variety shows together, so they are relatively harmonious with each other. As long as everyone is well and focuses on themselves, no one can influence anyone else.

Fans of both sides were enthusiastically discussing the return of their idols online. However, before fans of NCT Dream, Red Velvet, and other idol groups releasing songs at the same time could be happy for too long, SM announced another blockbuster news the next day.

Yuan, a member of the boy group EXO, has confirmed that he will release an album and make his solo debut on February 2. At the same time, the album title, two versions, four cover concept images, price and first edition promotional photos were announced, and the pre-sale channel was opened immediately afterwards.

Ten minutes later, the news of Chi Jingyuan's SOLO suddenly became the number one trending search.

Then several fans who had been excitedly discussing their own Zaizai and Niuniu, looking forward to their comeback results, and saying hello to me, hello to everyone, were immediately dumbfounded.
