Peninsula Asteroid

"What are you doing?"

Pei Zhuxuan's text message was a very common inquiry, and Chi Jingyuan was used to his father starting like this.

He typed quickly and replied:

"Eating with friends."

"Are you going to come out later?"

Since EXO is on holiday tomorrow, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun made an appointment to meet in the evening.

"What do you think (kiss)"

"Then tell me when you get here...if you drink alcohol, don't drive again."

Seeing the last instruction, Chi Jingyuan smiled, put his phone back in his pocket, picked up the knife and fork again, and continued eating seamlessly.

"Girlfriend?" Zheng Xiujing immediately understood something when she saw Chi Jingyuan's expression. She glanced at him and asked knowingly.

"Hmm." He shrugged.

Zheng Xiujing gently stirred the thick soup in front of her. The stainless steel spoon kept rotating in the bowl, and the speed became slower and slower. The next second she suddenly stopped her movements, scooped up a spoonful of soup with the spoon, and blew it. After feeding it into his mouth, he took a satisfied sip and looked at Chi Jingyuan and laughed suddenly: "...New one? Or is it the same one that hasn't broken up yet?"

"It's just as you thought." Chi Jingyuan finally caught her action and laughed too. He took a rough mouthful of steak and shrugged while chewing.

"so long?"

"well enough."

"cut……"

"By the way, how did you feel about making a movie with your third brother?"

"Third brother? You mean Lay?"

"yes."

"Why do you call it that?"

"Well...that's what everyone calls him."

Zheng Xiujing snorted habitually and didn't express much after that. Her words became very natural. She laughed when she needed to laugh and quarreled when she needed to. She became like an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time. The various temptations and dissatisfactions between words when we met before, the obvious awkwardness of wanting to start over but struggling.

She seemed to have thought about it.

Although the two had a close relationship for a period of time, they have been separated for a long time. The last time they met was when Jessica was the MC at the award ceremony at the beginning of the year. It has been almost half a year now, and no matter how strong the enthusiasm is, it will be overturned. The unfamiliarity of not seeing each other for a long time was diluted.

Today, times have changed, and there is not much of the same feeling when the two faced each other. Although there must be some complaints and regrets in my heart, in the end, no one can live without the other. Actor Zheng also has his own self-esteem, so he will not She said she has always been looked down upon like a resentful woman.

You are indeed excellent...but I, Actor Zheng, am not a bitch, a heartthrob, okay?

However, she still attaches great importance to this relationship. Not to mention some possible developments in the future, just the care Chi Jingyuan gave her in the company after Jessica left is already very important.

Feeling the change in Zheng Xiujing's attitude, Chi Jingyuan did not feel any sense of loss. Instead, he became much more relaxed, his movements became free and natural, and the smile on his face became happier.

He actually enjoys the kind of knowing smile when they reunite after such a good get-together, which makes both getting along and separation a memory worth recalling. If two people who were once close became like enemies after they separated, although it wouldn't make him feel too guilty, it would still be quite uncomfortable.

Zheng Xiujing, who had been playing with the spoon for a long time, also started to eat. While eating, she recalled, "They all shout like that? Why don't I know... The cooperation is okay, they are now a big name in the mainland, and they accept special events." Many, the crew and director sometimes have to work on their own time to design the shooting schedule. There are several assistants on the crew, and there are security guards when entering and exiting. It is much more comfortable than here, and your treatment is not even as good as ours. He...by the way, lay mentioned you guys to us from time to time, and it feels like he still has the idea of ​​returning to the team for activities."

"It's impossible. After enjoying the high-standard treatment and income there, it's impossible for him to come back to run the schedule again. Besides, the members won't be willing... But are you familiar with Third Brother?"

"Of course, I've known him since he was a trainee... Do you think everyone is like you, not just a trainee? You were the one I was least familiar with when EXO debuted."

"I'm really honored to say that."

"Ha...shameless."

…

"Leaving tomorrow?"

The atmosphere became more relaxed from the halfway point. The two of them ordered a bottle of wine and drank two glasses. After they were full, they stopped at the elevator entrance in the parking lot. Chi Jingyuan moved his body a little, turned around and asked .

"It's not that urgent. I'll stay with Ernie and the others for another day tomorrow, and fly over to join the group on the 24th." Jung Soo-jung was wearing a mask and carrying her bag, looking quite mature: "But the group's concert matters It’s quite a lot, and I guess I’ll come back often in the future.”

"Actor Zheng's development is really good. He has already received a film appointment from Xia Guo." Chi Jingyuan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I hope that next time we meet, you will become an idol actor as successful as Yoona sunbae."

"Tsk...I'll go first then." Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, shook her hair, waved goodbye and walked out on high heels.

"Bye-Bye."

After watching her back disappear from sight, Chi Jingyuan laughed and took out his cell phone to make a call.

…………

In an underground parking lot near the red velvet dormitory in JB District, in the back seat of the nanny car that was tightly sealed with black glass film, Chi Kyung-won was lying lazily, with his head resting on Bae Joo-hyun's smooth and fragrant thighs. , eyes closed, enjoying the gentle massage on his forehead and temples by his father's tender fingers.

He drove to the date with Zheng Xiujing just now by himself. He only drank a little while eating. Although he was still relatively clear-headed, he paid attention to the code of conduct. Chi Jingyuan, who was specially reminded by his father, did not stop. He continued driving, but directly called Cui Zhichang to drive the nanny car to pick him up. When he got here, he gave him the key and asked him to go to the hotel to drive Chi Jingyuan's car back to the dormitory.

Within a few minutes, Bae Zhuhyun arrived in disguise. After getting tired of her father in the car for a while, Chi Jingyuan, who had been quite energetic when eating just now, felt that the fatigue of the day slowly came up from his body and became nothing. Pei Zhuxuan, who was feeling a little distressed, took the initiative to rub him to relieve his energy. Chi Jingyuan immediately obediently lay on the young lady's lap and began to enjoy it.

Although the lights were not turned on in the car at this time, Bae Zhuhyun still rubbed Chi Jingyuan's head seriously with the parking lot lights blurring in through the glass, and from time to time imitated what she saw on some program. The technique was to exhale the aroma of him, make fists with both hands and hammer him rhythmically, and then use soft fingers to press back and forth on his forehead, temples, and neck. Even though the young lady is petite and not strong, she still The fleshy feeling when you touch it is still very pleasant.

Although he was not very professional, Chi Jingyuan still enjoyed it so much that he almost fell asleep with the fragrant fragrance on his body and the smooth and soft thighs on his pillow that were exposed because he was wearing shorts.

Brushing her father's jawline with her hand without leaving any trace, Pei Zhuxuan chuckled, lowered her head and opened her eyes, carefully observed his side face without blinking, and asked casually: "Isn't there another " "Popular Songs"? Are you so tired after a busy day and have you made an appointment to go out to dinner tonight? "

"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan, who was slightly in a daze, made a nasal noise.

"Who are you eating with?"

"Xiu Jing."

Hearing this name, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly paused in the movements of his hands. After a second, he quickly responded as if he was trying to hide something, but the rhythm seemed a little messed up.

Before she could say anything, Chi Jingyuan's voice came to her ears again: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. We went to FX's concert a few days ago and we made an appointment for the concert when we met backstage. After we’re done, let’s have a meal and chat, and that’s it for today… I also made an appointment with Shirley, it’s tomorrow.”

"Well..." Pei Zhuxuan became much more relaxed after hearing her father's seemingly unintentional explanation. She responded softly and continued to massage Chi Jingyuan. After being quiet for a few seconds, she continued: "Xiu Jing The senior is indeed very powerful. She was already very popular and has been developing very well recently. I met her once in the company a few days ago and she has become even more beautiful..."

Her voice didn't change much from before, but her tone became more serious and emotionless, giving the impression that she was doing business.

"Ah, Bae Zhuhyun, what are you pretending to be!"

Chi Jingyuan interrupted her before she finished speaking. He opened his eyes and looked at Pei Zhuxuan who was very close. He smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch the tender flesh on her cheek and shook it, exposing the young lady mercilessly. Hypocrisy: "Who are these words for? You don't think I've forgotten that Zheng Xiujing taught you a lesson in front of me before, do you?"

Pei Zhuxuan was shocked when her real name was suddenly called by her father. After hearing his naked words, she suddenly felt as if her disguise had been lifted. She was a little embarrassed and her face became a little red. She felt that Chi Jingyuan was staring at her from bottom to top. Looking at her playful look, the young lady's cheeks bulged up. After holding it in for a while, she still couldn't hold it back. She burst out laughing, then lightly spat, reached out and hit him lightly on the shoulder.

Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan, who had his eyes bent, looked at each other, rested his head on his thigh and shook his head twice, then turned his head and closed his eyes. After Pei Zhuxuan's smile gradually disappeared, he also pursed his lips and started to rub his boyfriend again. .

After a while, she suddenly spoke and asked in a hesitant voice:

"You and Xiu... Zheng Xiujing, have you... dated before?"

Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and looked at the young lady: looking into her dark eyes, he raised the corners of his eyes: "Do you really want to know?"

He had just asked, but now Pei Zhuxuan pouted and replied firmly: "I don't want to."

"I don't know if it counts as dating. It's probably not that close yet..." Chi Jingyuan smiled helplessly. Chi Jingyuan didn't ask any more questions. After recalling it, he spoke slowly.

He gently shook his head against Pei Zhuhyun's thigh, then exhaled and added: "Then we separated for some time, and it was a long time ago... But it was a good time to get together and part ways."

The breath from his words and breathing tickled Pei Zhuxuan's legs, but Pei Zhuxuan didn't notice it. It was obvious that her mind was not on this. Her right hand gently touched Chi Jingyuan's face. Next, he was silent for a while in the quiet atmosphere, and suddenly whispered: "If we... in the future... I don't want to get together and break up."

"Have you ever thought about such a thing?" Suddenly hearing the young lady's reaction, Chi Jingyuan looked at her speechlessly.

"Well..." Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips: "Actually, I have thought about it several times."

His expression became a little reproachful, Chi Jingyuan frowned and looked at her: "Why do you want to do this? Do you have nothing to do every day?"

"..."

Pei Zhuxuan looked at him, her dark eyes were very clear, she opened her mouth as if she had thought of something and wanted to say something, but soon she stopped talking. She looked at the face of the boyfriend she liked so much, he His eyes and expressions did not make any more noise. He smiled softly and then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

In a daze, two lights shone from not far away. Several cars turned around from the corner of the rear parking lot and drove slowly behind. The light penetrated the glass film and faintly fainted in the nanny car. The hair of the two people reflected a cloud of stars.

After a while, Pei Zhuxuan patted Chi Jingyuan's arm, raised his head and panted slightly, his nose dripping with sweat and his cheeks were slightly red.

She put away her clothes a little, but found that Chi Jingyuan was still lying on her lap without any reaction. She couldn't help but reached out and pushed him: "Why don't you talk?"

Chi Jingyuan pressed her thigh, and his voice was muffled: "I was attacked and suffocated to death."

"Yeah." Pei Zhuxuan punched him with a red face, and tried to push a few more times. She found that Chi Jingyuan was still heavy and motionless, as if he was asleep, so she stopped trying, blinked and looked down. After a while, he reached out his hand and gently stroked his hair, his eyes as quiet as water.

…

After the "Fire" promotion period ended, the EXO group took a day off. Chi Jingyuan, who happened to have no personal schedule, took this opportunity to go home. Unfortunately, both the second brother and the eldest sister had their own things to do, so he had nothing to do. After playing games at home for a day, I went out to have dinner with Cui Xueli in the evening, and then returned to the company early the next morning.

There was a rather important meeting in the morning. After the second tour, the approximate time for EXO’s third tour has been determined. It will be downloaded at the end of July this year. The specific matters have been prepared very early, and today we are going to discuss it with the company. Department leaders and the concert design team discussed and determined some key issues for the third tour, including concept, stage flow, main style, track selection, stage effects, etc...

For EXO's third world tour this year, SM Entertainment once again invested many resources and cooperated with a brand new concert design team from Ami, which is very well-known, striving to surpass the successful second tour and make EXO's world The tour creates greater brilliance with better effects, better reputation, and better performances.

"The theme name of this third tour is 'EXO'rDIUM,' which is Exordium, meaning 'beginning, preface.' As the name suggests, compared with the previous two tours, this third tour is a new beginning. Whether it’s musicality, artistry, emotion, atmosphere, or concept, it’s all an update, and it needs to show characteristics that are completely different from the previous two.”

"Compared with the second tour, the world view and theme setting of this tour will be deeper and more complete; the mood and atmosphere are more relaxed and relaxed, the places that should be controlled are more restrained, and the places that should be excited are more exciting; the selection of music and The adaptation and creation fully serve the overall effect of the concert, and will present Sexy as a style for the first time."

"In terms of stage effects, we will all use the latest impressions, the latest lighting, the latest LED displays and various stage atmosphere facilities, in conjunction with the company's expected simultaneous withdrawal of the three tours, the 'third light-changing function with central control' "Three Generations of Alisticks', the stage effect of our tour will have a very obvious and leap-forward improvement this time."

Employees in the company department and a group of foreigners from the concert design team kept communicating, talking about many ideas that had been discussed before, and the various words coming out of their mouths sounded quite exciting.

Because EXO’s share of overseas tours, especially overseas concerts, is 70%. The more successful the third tour is, the more they earn.

Seeing Wu Shixun nodding his head, with a focused and excited expression, it seemed like he was already thinking about where to buy a property.

The members who listened carefully in the middle also put forward their own ideas. Chi Jingyuan gestured and said his suggestions: "There are several places in the second tour that are very well received by fans, such as the "Peter Pan" stage pajamas and dolls. I think I can consider keeping the costumes and costumes...and I still have to select some songs specifically to restore my physical strength, otherwise it will be really stressful to follow so many dance songs."

The foreign design team named Lucas nodded in agreement: "We think so too..."

"...After the strong melody and sexy part in the first part brought all the audience into the atmosphere, they will enter the second part 'Daily Party', from the exciting return of Sexy just now to the playful boy in white, wearing Pajamas or doll costumes give individual audiences a more contrasting experience.”

"...The second half is the home of electronic music + the home of nightclub parties..."

The newly collaborated concert design team seems to be really talented. Many of their ideas and ideas are very impressive. Even before they start, they already make people full of confidence in the next three tours.

The meeting lasted for several hours before it was over. After it was over, everyone did not leave immediately. Instead, they communicated with each other with some unfinished thoughts. EXO members also had many ideas. To this day, the company will also Consider their suggestions very carefully.

While Chi Jingyuan was communicating with the design team and talking about some of his ideas about stage lighting, Li Chenghuan came over and gave instructions.

"After we finish chatting, Jingyuan will go to my place."

…………

"It's mainly about the work arrangements in the recent period..."

In the office, Li Chenghuan took two cups of coffee and walked over and handed one to Chi Jingyuan. Then he sat on the sofa next to him and took out the memo from the bag next to him. Before he opened it, he said very familiarly: " First of all, it’s about the third concert tour. You heard the meeting just now. Apart from the third album, the focus of work recently is this... But in addition to what was mentioned in the meeting just now, the company also wants to cooperate with the first tour this time. In the same way, some members’ personal special stage performances will be prepared during the concert.”

"It depends on whether you have suitable music there. If there is, you can have a solo stage or a special stage during this third tour. If not, the company and the concert team will choose the music and arrange it."

Chi Jingyuan took a sip of coffee and listened to the agent's words while savoring the taste.

He smacked his lips slightly and felt a little sweet. Then he looked at Li Chenghuan with a smile and asked, "Is the company still worried that we won't be able to sell the tickets for our third tour?"

When EXO held their first concert tour, they may have considered ticket sales and publicity, and the album XO released at that time did not have many songs and not enough songs. During that tour, under the arrangement of SM, all members had their own songs in the concert. solo stage.

At that time, the reviews of these solo stages were very good, and they also played a certain role in ticket sales. In particular, "YOU=I" written by Chi Jingyuan for fans immediately became their favorite. I don't know how many people watched the concert. After searching for the sound source after CUT, I couldn't find it at all.

"Arnie, how could it be? Our concert tickets are always unavailable, not unsold." Li Chenghuan smiled confidently. He was extremely proud of the group he had formed.

In recent years, Lee Seung-hwan's status in the company has also increased with the growth of EXO. I heard that the company has intended to promote him to management because of his achievements in recent years, and then sent a new manager to work with EXO.

He pouted at Chi Jingyuan: "It's mainly for some gimmicks. If there are more special stages, the concert CDs of the third tour will be able to sell better... If there are suitable songs, they can be performed on the tour. After finishing it, you can also include it in your solo album."

"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan didn't think much and nodded in agreement: "I'll see if there is anything suitable in the next few days. If not, let the company arrange it."

"OK... By the way, the company has collected several songs for your solo album, including some songs that are in the music library. Listen to them if you have time." Having said this, Li Chenghuan remembered something. He raised it and then looked at Chi Jingyuan helplessly: "There has been no movement on your side. You are not anxious about your own solo album. You are the first member of XO to make a solo debut, but the company is much more anxious than you are. ”

"How come? I already have some ideas and backup songs." Chi Jingyuan looked at him with an innocent expression. He felt that he had been wronged.

Of course, he has always been paying attention to his solo, but high-quality songs are not something that can be produced casually. Of course, he must be more cautious when making his first solo debut.

"The songs on CBX are almost there... Forget it, go listen to the songs first and see if you like any of them." Li Chenghuan shook his head and smiled, randomly opened the memo in his hand, and continued: "Then there are variety shows. In addition to what has been informed to you before, the company has arranged for you to shoot "Runningman", the specific shooting time will be on the 28th, and it will last for one day."

When Chi Jingyuan first heard about variety shows, it didn't matter. As long as he returned, it would be accompanied by various programs and variety shows. As the third album is coming back soon, in order to promote it, the company has given them a lot of variety show schedules, because most of the variety shows have to be recorded one to two weeks in advance. In order to match the release date of the third album on June 9th, they have to wait for a few days. Tian has already recorded a lot of relevant materials and clips in advance, and there will be many programs to be aired in the next two days.

He was stunned for a moment when he heard that he was the only one. He pointed at himself in surprise to confirm, thinking that he heard wrongly:

"'Runningman'? Me alone?"

"Runningman" is the most popular outdoor variety show in the peninsula in recent years, and the most well-known in the country and even overseas. It reached its peak in the years of 13 and 14 and can be said to be popular throughout Asia. Although in the past two years, due to the skills of the program crew and the aesthetics The ratings have gradually declined due to fatigue and other issues, but it is still SBS's flagship variety show.

However, since EXO debuted as a big group, we have been there once when they were 12 members, and other members have also been here a few times. Besides being with the big group, the only time Ji Kyung-won participated in a recording was in 2013. He went there to promote "The Heirs"...but in his impression, that episode was a bit lackluster and didn't have many highlights.

It's just that although EXO rarely appears in variety shows as a nine-member group now, with three or four members recording on behalf of the entire group, he is not the only one...

"It's just you." Li Chenghuan nodded to confirm first, then laughed after seeing his expression, and quickly explained: "Originally, the "Runningman" program team invited our entire group, but there were several members at the agreed recording time. The event had already been scheduled and there was no schedule, so I declined... Later, the program team said that it didn't require everyone to go, it was OK to just go with a few members. If it really doesn't work, you can go alone..."

"Name me alone?" Chi Jingyuan blinked, feeling a little satisfied with being recognized.

"Yes, although we are EXO... but there are not many members who can support the recording of a program by themselves." Li Chenghuan pouted at Chi Jingyuan in appreciation: "The "Runningman" program team is still very good. Seriously, we have already seen the general process and content of this issue that was sent to you. Basically, the entire issue is your solo special from beginning to end... It’s just that the last part of the show is about tearing off the name tag. For the sake of the show’s effect, the program team asked Another group came to join us..."

"And in order to comply with the release time of our third series next month and the promotion of our comeback, the PD over there took the initiative to postpone the broadcast time of this program by one week. It was originally scheduled to be broadcast on June 5th. Now it has been adjusted and changed. It became No. 12, which coincided with the promotion after the release of the third album on No. 9... Although "Runningman" is not as popular as before, the popularity and attention are still very high."

"I understand, just record it..." Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture and nodded easily.

It’s no longer the time when he first debuted, and he didn’t talk much in variety shows. Firstly, he wasn’t very used to it, and secondly, he had some idol baggage and no sense of artistic ability.

Although he has been debuting for so long now, he can't say that he is very good at it or has a strong sense of artistry, but at least recording a variety show is no longer difficult for him.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chi Jingyuan thought of something and looked up: "By the way, which combination is joining the show?"
