This kind of relationship made many people around him stunned. They always felt that Chi Jingyuan was very different from the idol artist in their impression.

If they hadn't seen Pei Zhuhyun and the others sitting next to her very unnaturally, they probably could have chatted for a while.

Several managers talked to Chi Jingyuan for a while and then left temporarily after explaining a few words to others.

"How come you have something to say to the room chief? They all feel so enthusiastic."

"Maybe it's because I'm more popular, or maybe it's because I'm handsome?"

"Tch, who doesn't know that you are from the royal family..."

Several friends chatted and laughed, and Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan told each other some interesting things recently.

Including 'SM ROOKIES', which has been officially released in early December, Bae Joo Hyun and Kang Seulgi have been successfully selected and become public trainees, and Son Seungwan is also expected to join early next year.

There was also the reason for Sun Shengwan's crazy weight loss and the hard experience. She complained for a while and was afraid again and again.

Finally, let’s talk about their stage today. This trio will perform two famous songs by Girls’ Generation and S.E.S.

"I'm going to the scene first, and I'll give you backup later, fighting!"

By about six o'clock, the audience was already preparing to enter the venue, and the trainees who had stage performances backstage also started to prepare. Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to a few others, put on his shoulder bag, put on a mask, and waved.

He left the lounge under the watch of many people.

At this time, the trainees who came to feel the atmosphere and join in the fun had already left early and were going to find a seat in the auditorium.

Depending on the type and purpose, trainee showcases are sometimes completely free, and sometimes tickets are sold.

But even if it is sold, it will be sold very cheaply.

This time, less than half of the tickets were paid, and the other half was directly distributed by the two major companies to their employees and trainees, as well as their parents and relatives.

Chi Jingyuan followed the trainees who came out in front, walking briskly. After chatting with these relatives and friends for a while, he became in a good mood.

After a long and stressful trip, Chi Jingyuan felt very good after suddenly relaxing today.

After walking a few steps, his eyes swept forward, and suddenly he felt that a figure on the left side of the crowd looked very familiar, especially from the side. The hat the other person was wearing gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

After taking a few glances, Chi Jingyuan switched to Xia Wen and tentatively shouted: "Zhou Ziyu!"

…………

From the moment Chi Jingyuan entered the lounge, Zhou Ziyu fell into a conflicting mood. On the one hand, he was a little afraid of meeting, but on the other hand, he hoped to be recognized and took the initiative to say hello.

It's just that two hours passed. Except for Chi Jingyuan's eyes glancing towards her when he first came in, he was sitting on the sofa chatting with his friends the whole time and had no intention of paying attention here at all.

And Zhou Ziyu's mood gradually became lower and lower, until now she was completely frozen when she left the lounge.

At this time, she and Kong Xue were walking among the crowd, their steps were stiff and they were in a bad mood, and inexplicably, there was an unspeakable sense of grievance that was slowly rising.

She also felt very strange. It was obvious that she didn't take the initiative to say hello, and she couldn't blame anyone else at all, but she couldn't suppress this feeling.

The noise from the trainees around her and Kong Xue's random thoughts were chattering in her ears, but she couldn't hear a word. The big brim of the hat not only covered half of her face, but seemed to seal her in her own world.

among.

Just when she felt colder and colder, a familiar voice and tone suddenly came from behind. The friendly Xia Wen made her instantly recognize the source of the voice even without looking back...

"Zhou Ziyu!"

………………

The sudden and friendly Xia Wen instantly pulled Zhou Ziyu out of her own world. She stopped and ignored the other people passing by. She turned around and raised her head to look over, only to see Chi Jingyuan's gaze.

Looking at her.

When he saw her face clearly and was sure that he was right, Chi Jing's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"no……"

After Chi Jingyuan walked in, his originally smiling eyebrows wrinkled, he stood in front of Zhou Ziyu, looked at her condescendingly, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Did you also participate in this showcase? It seems that you did too just now

In the practice room, why don't you come to me?"

"Don't say you didn't see me, that's a terrible excuse..."

With one sentence, Zhou Ziyu's escape route was blocked.

Even though he was wearing a mask, the outline of the face close at hand was still very familiar. Listening to the other party's unkind questioning words, Zhou Ziyu not only did not feel sad, but suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Because Zhou Ziyu knew from the other party's expression and tone that she had completely overthought it before. Chi Jing's casual tone obviously did not treat her as an outsider, and was exactly the same as when they met before.

They all treat her like a little girl who is not very bright...

"Hey hey hey..."

Zhou Ziyu didn't know how to reply, so she could only smile sheepishly at him, showing her two little tiger teeth.

"Why are you laughing? I'm asking you something. You're laughing so stupidly."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the giggling Zhou Ziyu, glanced at her Jigglypuff hat and then fixed on her face, and patted her lightly in annoyance.

The more Zhou Ziyu was complained about, the strangely she became better and better. The previous conflicts and depression were gone. She became happier and happier. Unknown to her, she thought Chi Jingyuan was praising her.

Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan didn't ask any more questions. It was probably the little girl's strange and inexplicable thoughts. He had seen it a few times before, but he was too lazy to understand.

It doesn't matter what happened just now, it's OK to meet now.

"Stop laughing, laughing can make your skin whiter..."

Chi Jingyuan hit Zhou Ziyu's weakness with just one sentence, causing her face to wrinkle immediately. After hesitating for half a second, she patted him lightly and retorted unconvincingly: "I'm not evil, okay?"

"As long as you are happy...Is this your friend?" Chi Jingyuan looked at Kong Xue, who was already dumbfounded, and asked.

"Yes, this is mine in the company..." Zhou Ziyu nodded and was interrupted after just two sentences of introduction.

"Yes, Senior Yuan, I am Zhou Ziyu's friend. My name is Kong Xue, from Xia Guoren, and I am also a trainee of JYP. I...ahhh...EXO's Yuan and Jin Tan are real people! Oh my god

ah…"

Kong Xue introduced herself first, but later became a little incoherent because she was too emotional, acting like a girl in the rice circle.

"If you're from Xia country, you don't have to be so strict on etiquette. Just call me Chi Jingyuan."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and smiled at him.

"Zhou Ziyu! You clearly know Senior Chi Yuan, but you are still pretending to be silent. That's too much!"

After saying hello to Chi Jingyuan, Kong Xue immediately targeted Zhou Ziyu, hugged her, and asked fiercely.

"No la……"

Zhou Ziyu felt that she was in the wrong and resisted weakly for a few times.

"Really, I said several times that I wanted to get to know Senior Yuan, but you kept smiling without saying a word. I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but now that I think about it... wow, Tzuyu, you are such a BT!"

"You're a BT! I just don't know how to say it."

Kong Xue took the initiative and started to scratch her, but Zhou Ziyu's mouth was still hard and her resistance was not fierce.

"Stop making a fuss and go find a seat in the auditorium first."

Chi Jingyuan stopped them after watching for a few seconds.

A large group of people followed behind him, and he asked as he walked: "Where will you sit later?"

"The company's trainees will all sit in one area, probably a little to the right of the middle of the auditorium."

Zhou Ziyu thought for a while and then said.

"Let's take a look later. If we're close, sit next to me."

"good."

"By the way, this hat looks good on you. It suits you very well."

"whee……"

………………

When I arrived at the venue, I took a look. At this time, apart from the trainees, there were already scattered spectators entering the venue, and the trainees were all sitting in their seats.

The venue is not very big and can probably accommodate several hundred spectators.

When EXO debuted, their showcase was held in the Olympic Park and the University Coliseum. Thousands of fans came, and the venue must not be able to accommodate them.

Unlike debut artists, the stage for trainees' performances does not need to be large, and the audience does not have many seats, because there are not many people interested in watching the trainees' showcases.

Usually, the people sitting under the stage are usually other trainees who don't have a stage to perform, some of the trainees' parents and other relatives, as well as ordinary spectators who come to watch the fun.

Except for a few trainees who may have some fans because of their excellent qualities and exposure before their debut, most of the others are unknown to the outside world and no one pays attention to them at all.

What Chi Jingyuan did was arranged for him by Li Meizhu. Basically, he could sit wherever he wanted in the SM area. After looking at it, he sat in a seat near the JYP area, and happened to sit next to Zhou Ziyu.

Zhou Ziyu sat there happily, looking at Chi Jingyuan and Kong Xue next to him, feeling in a good mood.

"How are you doing recently?" Before the performance started, Chi Jingyuan asked Zhou Ziyu how he was doing.

Because they haven't seen each other for a long time, and Chi Jingyuan rarely sends messages proactively, the frequency of Zhou Ziyu's contact with him has gradually become lower in recent times.

"It's not bad. I've made a few trainee friends from Xia Guo. I can keep him company. I'm making good progress in my training at the company. I made a lot of progress in the end-of-month assessment last month. It's just that this time there's no stage performance in the showcase."
