tching him. Especially Sun Na-eun, she hadn't changed after several months apart.Because there's a music center stage being recorded in a little while, and they've already finished their makeup and ar..."Were we just having such a good time chatting"

Sunny sat on a stool, leaning against the side table with her legs crossed, looking very relaxed. She held a bag of cookies in her hand and kept feeding them into her mouth without stopping. As she chewed, she looked up at Chi Jingyuan and said with a smile: "And I've been watching for a long time, there are many female idols around who keep glancing at you from time to time. Are you so popular"

Girls' Generation is now wearing their outfits for tonight's performance. They're in pink, fitted suits that look both stylish and sweet. It's really eye-catching.

"Of course, I'm Chi Jingyuan."

Chi Jingyuan nodded nonchalantly, then with a hint of arrogance and curiosity, he joked: "Nuna, tell me who has been secretly watching me and make me happy."

"Well Now that you know who it is, you have a clear target, and then you can launch an attack and lure them in, right"

Glancing at him, Sunny sneered, "How many have you dated this time"

She understands a bit about Chi Jingyuan's personality. If she didn't have a foundation of affection or truly like him, she wouldn't take this kind of thing too seriously.

"How is that possible!"

Chi Jingyuan looked like he had been framed, his face innocent. The acting in his eyebrows and eyes was simply amazing, making one want to applaud.

Then he put on a serious expression, as if being interviewed, and nodded after pursed his lips: "I've only been in the industry for a few years now, the company manages things pretty strictly, and my schedule is very tight. So right now, my focus is definitely still on my career..."

“Ugh…” Before Sunny could even finish, Sunny pretended to vomit. The cookie she had just eaten almost flew out of her mouth.

She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a frown. The two stared at each other for two seconds, one innocent and the other disdainful, then burst into laughter together.

"It's been so long, Nuh. You finally decided to come back from Japan"

Chi Jingyuan pulled a stool over from the side and sat down, taking the bag of unopened cookies Sunny handed him. He opened it and ate one while chewing, saying...

Crispy and sweet, the taste is pretty good.

After chewing it twice, Chi Jingyuan picked up the bag and looked at the brand and name on the package.

"Who told you I've been gone for so long" Sunny gave him a withering look.

"Taeyeon, unnie, isn't it that you stayed in Japan because you were too lazy to fly back and forth"

“I’m just too lazy to keep flying back and forth with them. I have to come back here a few times every week, plus I have to host my radio show.”

"Then when you come back, won't you invite me out for a meal We're a team, you know."

“Every time I finished recording the show, I would leave, and you guys from EXO were super busy with comebacks and concerts during that time. I didn’t want to cause any trouble.”

Sunny probably ate too many cookies and got a little thirsty. He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then naturally stood up and took out a can of coffee from the plastic bag next to the table and offered it to Ji Jingyuan.

Just as she sat back down, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Chi Jingyuan: "No, you don't even know that I've been hosting a radio show"

What radio station

"Sunny's 'F'" is a very famous radio program, and it's really good to listen to. Hearing his reply, Sunny frowned and looked at him with a hint of killing intent: "Wow, you really don't know my radio show at all, not even one episode"

Because it tasted good, Chi Jingyuan stuffed several small cookies into his mouth one after another. When questioned, he puffed out his cheeks and looked at the other party, blinked, then naturally replied: "What era is it now Who still listens to the radio I don't even drive."

Because he had something in his mouth, his voice sounded a little different. After finishing speaking, he quickly bit down and swallowed a few cookies.

"Why are EXO still going on so many radio shows" Sunny burst out laughing.

"It's company arranged, what can I do about it."

Chi Jingyuan took a sip of water and casually said, "Besides, it's so easy to record radio programs. Just find a camera that doesn't need to be filmed in a specific place, put it somewhere casually for a while, and just make a few perfunctory remarks to pass the time."

"Dude, you really…" Sunny looked at him speechlessly, feeling like the meaningful radio program she had in mind was being ruined by this person.

As they were chatting, the several Girls' Generation members who had just gone out came back. They immediately saw Ji Chang Wook and Sunny sitting there chatting and burst into laughter as they surrounded them.

“Soo-won!” Taeyeon’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She called out across the distance and quickly strode over, mimicking a gun with her hands before pointing it at him and pulling the trigger forcefully. “Amazing!”

Then he also reached out and tapped his own head, grinning widely with a contortion of his face.

She is clearly showing off some of the most eye-catching moves from Sj's "dope" fancam. It looks like she's also watched his recent viral fancams!

"Hahaha..." Hwang Mi-yeong and Kim Hyo-yeon also laughed along, and several members nearby burst into laughter.

"You're really amazing, one straight shot got this much heat."

Kim Tae-yeon walked over and directly reached out to snatch a small cookie from Ji-sung's hand, stuffing it in her mouth while saying, "Now the company has also started assigning people to shoot straight videos during our more important stage performances. I heard that other agencies have also started doing this..."

Leading the way, yuanxi.

Facing several sisters' admiring yet teasing gazes, Chi Jingyuan remained nonchalant and didn't speak. After swallowing the cookie in his mouth, he let out a chuckle, vigorously shook his head, sending his bangs flying, and finally blew air onto them, causing his bangs to gently sway. The smug expression on his face seemed to say, 'Isn't this perfectly normal'

"Hey you, haha…" Seeing his smug look, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but burst into laughter. She joined Sunny, who had been enduring it for a long time beside her, and together they gave Chi Kyung-won several playful pats on the back. The three of them ended up in a tangle, attracting quite a bit of attention from those around them.

The EXO concert was held as scheduled last night. EXO is no longer as green as they were when they first debuted, and they've probably done concerts of this scale countless times.

When I attended before, I was really excited. But after they held their own solo concert, I didn't feel as much. In comparison, the tribute concert seemed inferior in terms of atmosphere and everything else. It felt a bit like a live music show with a larger audience.

EXO performed the twelve-member version of "Overdose" as the third to last act, successfully completing the stage amidst cheers from the audience. This performance pushed the atmosphere of the Dream Concert to its peak.

At the end, all the artists went onstage together to sing a song promoting the World Cup. While they were singing, Ji Jingyuan stood at the front of the stage behind his fellow members, leisurely looking around. He also turned his head and looked back several times.

Looking at the rows of artists behind him, his vision was eventually blocked by those at the very end. He couldn't help but feel touched seeing a few idol groups who were out of camera range constantly tiptoeing and trying to get into the shot.

All of them came from that time...

As fireworks soared into the sky, amidst screams, this year's Dream Concert came to a triumphant conclusion.

………

In the practice room, all of EXO were sitting there each operating their phones while also chatting excitedly with each other.

When they were having a meeting this morning, the company announced that all of EXO's SNS social media accounts in the future will be managed and operated by the members themselves. The company is only responsible for operating the official account of the EXO group.

Currently, EXO mainly uses S as their primary social media platform.

This is good news for many people, especially for a few active members who are social media enthusiasts and love to spend their days on social networking sites. They were overjoyed when they heard the news.

However, the company also set business requirements for each member, specifying how many pictures each person should upload within a month and how much they should interact with fans.

After all, SNS is also a good platform for showing yourself, communicating with fans, staying active and increasing your popularity. You can't just operate it yourself and then be too lazy to manage it completely.

At the same time, the company's staff and agents all emphasized that no content involving sensitive topics should be published on SNS.

This explanation was very serious, and company s was very clear about the impact and harm of this thing.

Members all nodded seriously in understanding.

After they returned, everyone started taking over their own s accounts that were previously operated by the official team. They changed their names and uploaded pictures, having fun watching their fan numbers and comments grow.

However, Chi Jingyuan played with it for a while and felt it wasn't interesting, so he put it away. Compared to creating himself, he preferred watching.

"What's your account ID, Jingyuan Did you follow me"

Wu Shih-hsuan manipulated his phone, glancing at Ji Jingyuan who was playing a game beside him. He asked.

"‘thy.’, search yourself."

Chi Jingyuan was nervously fighting the boss, dodging a killing blow with a roll. After happily smiling, he replied without looking back.

"Thy What a strange name!"

Muttering the letters under his breath as he typed, Wu Shixun pursed his lips.

Chi Jingyuan was busy and didn't have time for him.

"I found it... I followed you, remember to follow back!"

After giving him a long lecture, Wu Shixun opened Ji Jingyuan's s and took a look. He couldn't help but laugh after just two seconds: "You've only posted one photo until now And it only shows half your face..."

"Bang..."

Ji Jingyuan suddenly angrily punched the ground with his fist. Just a small mistake and his character was instantly killed by the boss's sweep attack, then carried back to the village by a cat carriage.

"Phew..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, adjusting his mindset before opening them again to look at the several members who were eyeing him helplessly. He put the game console's save file on hold and set it aside: "'thy.' is just the abbreviation of theyuan. I came up with it randomly yesterday, I'll change it in two days..."

And he said my name is strange, not as understandable as your xlkslb_something something string of letters that I can't even read.

"You're just randomly mashing the keyboard, aren't you"

Chi Jingyuan wasn't very interested in operating it. After getting it yesterday, he just took a look and casually came up with a name, changing the previous 'exo_yuan' ID format to indicate that from now on it would be operated by himself. He also took a selfie and uploaded it before leaving it alone.

This photo, he didn't really do much makeup. Only the top half of his face from his nose up, plus a single hand gesture that's only visible halfway. It's pretty perfunctory, isn't it

"My account name is made up of English letters that represent the meaning of each EXO member's name, and yours too! Many fans say my ID is very interesting..."

"Being boastful, Wu Shixun suddenly sighed again: 'Oh, your fans already have over five million. Why do I only have one and a half million…'"

Also, why are there so many likes and comments on this half-assed, barely-there photo of your face

The more Ji Jingyuan looked at the data, the angrier he got. He had carefully taken several photos yesterday and uploaded them, interacting with fans in the comments. But this guy just messed around randomly, didn't even bother finding a good angle, took a ridiculous photo and uploaded it. Then he went off to play games and ignored everything else. Now, he's getting so many likes...

What for

Pool-Jingyuan, facing the discontent and jealousy from a few members beside Wu Shixun, glanced left and right before licking his lips and winking at them.

"Maybe because... I'm good-looking"

"Die!"

…………

After the concert, EXO started running their schedules again. Because of the concert, many of their appointments and invitations were postponed until these few days, so their activities were packed every day.

Besides the team schedule, a significant amount of time was also dedicated to individual endeavors that many members pursued concurrently. These included Kim Junmyeon and Baekhyun's appearance on "Inkigayo," Baekhyun's own musical, Park Chan-yeol's "rooate," and Kim Jong-in's fashion magazine photoshoot.

A book friend I've known for ten years recommended this app to me, Wild Fruit! It's really good. I use it to listen to audiobooks while driving or before bed. You can download books here.

It is worth mentioning that Kim Jong-in is very popular with some fashion magazine editors on the peninsula. In EXO, he is second only to Park Chanyeol in terms of resources in this area. Since his debut, he has shot photos for several magazines.

Then, Do Kyung-Soo's television drama filming began.

Doh Kyungsoo finally got a chance to act in a TV drama and he's been very serious and dedicated about it. Though he's not the main lead, he spends his free time reading the script and studying, often asking Park Seo-joon for advice on acting methods and techniques. Lately, he's become quite obsessed with it.

He took this TV drama called "It's Okay to Not Be Okay", which is a SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama co-starring Jo In Sung and Kim Go Eun. Both the cast and crew, including the director and screenwriter, are very strong. For his first time acting in a TV drama, Do Kyung Soo's role is considered a supporting role, which is already pretty good.

At the beginning, during the casting process of this drama, most members of EXO except for Ji-sung Park participated in the auditions. Ultimately, DO was chosen and successfully took his first step towards an acting career.

Chi Jingyuan didn't go because he is already a recognized representative actor of the younger generation. This role of male third or fourth doesn't match his current status, and the age gap with the protagonist is too big, so he couldn't replace Zhao Yincheng's position. Even if SBS issued an invitation, s didn't care and just didn't let him go.

If he goes, what else are the other members going to try on

The screenwriter of this drama, Ji Jingyuan, also watched it and thought it was pretty good. Although it lacks the potential to be a huge hit, its viewership rating should not be low.

However, filming a TV drama in the middle of a concert tour is really torturous. First, you have to negotiate with the production team for time, and Do Kyung-soo has to go back and forth between the set and Xia's domestic location. He only gets a few hours of sleep each day, which is definitely a sacrifice.

I don't know about other companies, but for the biggest money tree currently, they never refuse EXO members taking on individual resources. On the contrary, they are very proactive in providing a lot of information to help members develop.

While Lee Jong-suk has been focusing on advertising shoots and promotional stands these days, due to his appearance, family background, and the popularity of his television dramas, especially "The Heirs," he ranks first in advertising resources within the entire ** company, surpassing all other members of EXO combined.

Many advertisements not only need to be filmed, but also have a lot of responsibilities after filming, such as cooperating with publicity and supporting the product.

He's been swamped these days with a backlog of announcements, barely touching the ground.

And over the past two days, there have been new developments between Wu Seik and bighit. Through media and sns in Xia Guo, he has reasserted the legitimacy and rationality of his escape, and through marketing accounts, he has spread a lot of information on various sns platforms and uploaded many photos of himself being ostracized and isolated as proof.

He just looked at those photos, mostly pictures of him sitting alone on the sidelines while other members were chatting and having fun together during the trip. The captions made it look pretty sad.

However, as an insider, Ji Jingyuan was very clear that this kind of photo was too common. He himself often played games alone during his itinerary, and other members were also often seen playing on their phones or thinking by themselves. You could easily find many such "exclusion" photos from EXO's pictures alone.

Although this out-of-context image is laughable at first glance, a group of Wu's fans actually believed it and began to change their stance online, voicing their support for him and posting various pro-Wu arguments.

However, the photos alone aren't very convincing, and it's unclear what compelling and shocking reasons Wu Saik provided when he sued. It's possible he still has other evidence up his sleeve.

After a few days, the heat surrounding this incident on the peninsula has been gradually decreasing. The attention from ordinary people besides BTS fans has dropped, after all, BTS is now just a second or third-tier group. Although Wu is a popular member, his popularity isn't sky-high either, and Bighit is just a small company.

But Chi Jingyuan found on the domestic Weibo that Xia Guo's popularity was still quite high, with all sorts of rumor posts, clarification posts, whitewashing posts, support posts, and insulting posts emerging one after another. He read them with relish.

It has become quite the dramatic soap opera.

Amidst all the commotion, it reached June 12th.

The temperature over the past two days has noticeably risen, and today it's estimated to be around thirty degrees. The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, baking the ground and making people feel sweltering hot. It's afternoon now, and there aren't many pedestrians on the road.

Chi Jingyuan was wearing a white blue Fat Panda co-branded short sleeve, shorts and sneakers. He had a single shoulder bag on his back, along with a mask and a Doraemon baseball cap as disguises. He stood under the shade of a tree beside the road near the JYP building, holding his phone and sending a message out.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Tzuyu appeared in Ji Jingyuan's field of vision. She walked quickly from the JYP building towards him and when she saw Ji Jingyuan, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she quickened her pace, running over with two legs swinging back and forth.

She was wearing a black t-shirt and sweatpants. The t-shirt had a cute cartoon bear on it, so childish.

Her hair wasn't tied up, and it was normally quite smooth and flowed on either side of her head. But as she started running, the constant jostling made it messy.

Zhou Ziyu ran up to Ji Jingyuan's face, first smiling at him, then catching her breath and quickly lowering her head to tidy up the messy strands of hair.

After school at noon, she rushed to the company. After taking her voice lesson, she kept practicing in the dance studio. Just when she was resting, she suddenly received a message from Ji Jingyuan asking if she was at the company and free. She was taken aback and quickly replied.

Then my mood became a little anxious.

Although they send each other a few messages every few days, Zhou Tzuyu and Park Jeong-won haven't met in person since the last concert.

At that time, she rejected Kong Xue's two friends' suggestion to contact Chi Jingyuan backstage, but actually, she really wanted to get closer. Because the feeling of shock after watching the performance was truly unforgettable.

To this day, this feeling still occasionally pops into my mind.

After waiting for twenty minutes or so, she received a message from Chi Jingyuan. After telling her friend, she hurried over, feeling excited and expectant all the way.

"What are you running for"

"Pool-Jingyuan glanced at her like that, gave her a look and said something unkindly, then took the crossbody bag to the front, unzipped it, and took out a gift box and handed it to Zhou Tzuyu: 'That.'"

This is a wrapped gift box. It doesn't look very big. Black wrapping paper is neatly wound with light pink ribbon.

"......"

Zhou Tzuyu's expression changed slightly, she seemed to hesitate for a second before a smile appeared on her face. She took the gift and looked at it carefully, then raised her head to look at Ji Jingyuan with a look of feigned confusion: "Why are you giving me a present"

"Wasn't your birthday June 14th I got it wrong" Chi Jingyuan frowned and looked at her.

How do you know my birthday is June 14th

Clinging a gift box to her chest with both arms, Zhou Tzuyu gazed at Ji Jingyuan. Her large eyes blinked repeatedly, her pupils holding an inexplicable expression.

“Last time we talked, you mentioned it once, didn't you I wrote it down at the time…”

Pool Jingyuan rolled his eyes and looked at Zhou Tzuyu with disdain, as if looking at a fool: "What are you pretending to be You mentioned June 14th in every other text message these past two days... Are you hinting at something Tzuyu xi, this is already a clear indication! Can't you be less childish and think I'm an idiot"

"...Poof...hehehe..." Zhou Tzuyu pursed her lips and held it in for a while, her whole face stiff. After twitching her corners of the mouth several times, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

Her eyes were curved, and her smile stretched wide, revealing a neat set of pearly white teeth. Although she looked a little naive, her whole face was clearly overflowing with happiness. Her expression was a mixture of delight and a slight awkwardness at having her trick exposed.

Just now, Tzuyu's hair, which had been messed up from running, was already neatly styled. But at this moment, a few stray hairs stood up on her head unconsciously, coupled with her innocent smile, making the whole person incredibly lively.

"Well, I'm not available on June 14th, because we have a concert in Xia Guo Jiang Cheng that day. We'll probably be back around the 15th or 16th. I'll give you the gift in advance."

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile at her joyful expression. He shook his head and then explained.

"Thank you, Jingyuan xi!" Tzuyu said to him, who had a sweet smile on his face.

"Alright, I've given you the present so I'm heading out. You better get back quickly and be careful not to get caught by your teacher." Chi Jingyuan didn't want to chat much longer. After giving her the gift, he opened his mouth to say goodbye.

"Oh, are you leaving so soon"

When Tzuyu heard this, her smile faded and she said in a slightly anxious tone: "Or...or how about I treat you to a drink"

"It's alright, our flight to Xia Guo is in the evening. I still have an ad case to run later and I just popped over for a quick visit in between. My manager is waiting for me back..."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, smiled at her, and then said goodbye before turning to walk towards the 's' direction.

Looking at Ji Jingyuan's clean and neat departing figure, Zhou Tzuyu was a bit stunned and opened her mouth wanting to say something, like "goodbye" or "good luck".

But before she could figure out what to say, Chi Jingyuan, who had walked three or four meters away, suddenly turned around, blinked at her, and waved his hand. He smiled and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to say... Happy birthday. It's two days early, but it should be okay, right"

"I'm leaving first."

Before Tzuyu could respond, he turned away again, walking forward while waving casually at the people behind him. His pace quickened gradually.

Until the very end, Tzuyu hadn't figured out what to say. She just held onto the gift tightly, stood under the shade of a tree, and pursed her lips, her big eyes staring at Ji-won's departing figure until he disappeared around the corner.
