Chapter 497 Call Me I

"Did you see Na Eun?"

Zheng Endi looked at him winkingly: "Do you have any regrets?"

"..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was eating, froze for a moment, and responded to the Busan woman who was staring at him with helpless eyes.

He knew what Zheng Eun meant. In the recently released previews of Apink's comeback, Sun Naen's looks are very good-looking and have become a topic, especially a light brown side twist hairstyle that looks very eye-catching. There are also several sets of bohemian-style long gowns, blue sailor dresses, etc. At the same time, because the summer style shows a much stronger body line than before, it can be called fair and beautiful long legs.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Zheng En smiled, and added rather narrowly: "Let me tell you that Na En is still obsessed with fitness, and she has to practice whenever she has time... Isn't it a little bit weird now?" regret?"

Chi Jingyuan blinked and followed her question for a while.

If you want to say you regret it, you probably don't.

But if you want to say that you have no feeling at all, that is not necessarily the case.

But it’s been so long, and Kpop’s version has been updated several times, so it doesn’t make sense to say this now.

But Zheng Eundi wanted to see his jokes, so this trick alone wouldn't frustrate him.

"Yes, I'm very sorry."

Chi Jingyuan half-closed his smiling eyes, and nodded hehe, looking very sincere, but even though he said so, his expression had nothing to do with remorse at all.

"Oh, boring."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression and tone, Zheng Endi lost interest all of a sudden, and waved his hand rather bored.

Based on her understanding of Chi Jingyuan, if she really regretted it, she should deny it completely, but if she said it like this now, she really didn't feel that way.

She didn't really have any idea of ​​matching, she just wanted to see the jokes of this pretentious man.

It may be because they haven't chatted casually for a long time. The two of them relaxed and relaxed, and they drank a lot of beer. Although Chi Jingyuan was not drunk, he felt a little hot in his head. Some of them seem to have an unprecedented sense of sobriety.

Seeing the disappointed Zheng Eundi, Chi Jingyuan smiled and brought the topic to her casually: "Why do you always care about Na Eun, and don't care about yourself?"

"What do I care about? Don't underestimate me, how can I say that I am a popular idol now, and there are many people chasing after me."

Seemingly aware of the underestimation in Chi Jingyuan's tone, Zheng Eundi, who was poked at his pride, immediately changed color as if his tail had been stepped on, and said in a reasonable tone: "There are people inside and outside the circle. , the people in the circle are all very popular and powerful idols, and they are also very handsome... What kind of eyes do you have... Indeed, it may be a little worse than you."

"Nearly?"

"Go to hell, I'm really... a lot closer."

Chi Jingyuan's eyes that see through everything made him a little bit embarrassed. After holding back for a long time, Zheng Endi waved his hand resignedly, then sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a bold sip, his expression became a lot more serious: "Have you tried it before?" Get in touch with it... But to be honest, I don't feel anything at all, just, it's boring."

She took another sip, and she didn't know what she thought of: "You know, I pay more attention to the development of the group and myself than love, and whoever earns as much as you doesn't care, I just put It hasn’t been long since the money owed by the family has been paid off, and although there is no debt now, there is still a sense of urgency, so after thinking about it, I think career is more important.”

"Career..."

Zheng Eundi obviously expressed something in his heart out of feeling, Chi Jingyuan listened carefully and didn't interrupt, but when he heard the last sentence, his expression couldn't help becoming a little weird, as if he thought of someone.

"Is there anything wrong with attaching importance to career? Why this expression?" Zheng Endi looked dissatisfied.

"No, of course it's right... I just accidentally remembered a friend."

"Who? Look at your strange expression..." She looked at Chi Jingyuan's face, stretched her eyes for a while, and then tried to guess: "It can't be someone you are pursuing, or someone you are dating, right? "

She suddenly became very interested, so she stopped drinking, leaned forward with her hands on the table, and stared at the other party with sparkling eyes.

"..."

Chi Jingyuan didn't deny or admit it, but just shrugged his shoulders with paralyzed hands. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the hint was already obvious.

He thought of Pei Zhuxuan.

This sister has always been relatively introverted, but at the end of last year, because of a song, she may have been stimulated, and finally she couldn't hold back the surging emotions in her heart and actively expressed her affection. Now she and Chi Jingyuan are actually very close I got close, and I had several intimate physical contacts. Sometimes the way I get along doesn't seem to be much different from the couple I'm dating.

Many members of EXO, Kim Taeyeon, Ji Jingyuan's relatives, and even some staff members of "Music Bank" probably already believed that these two are boyfriend and girlfriend and are dating.

But in fact, both of them are very clear that they don't.

Pei Zhuxuan, as an older female idol who made her debut, is very aware that this opportunity is not easy to come by. Chi Jingyuan knows that she is a very career-minded person, and has always regarded red velvet and her career as the top priority. When chatting, she often mentions about her own group. Although she won't show it on the outside, she is often happy because of the increase in fans and popularity, and also frustrated and anxious because of the unsatisfactory development.

Being very professional and still the captain at the same time, probably because he didn't want to be the first member of the group to fall in love, so he hasn't pierced that layer of membrane until now.

Because once it is exposed, such things as falling in love will be a devastating blow to any rising girl group and female idol.

Chi Jingyuan is actually not in a hurry, and has no opinion on this, but feels that the relationship is already like this, and the young lady seems to be deceiving herself by doing this.

Even he was still thinking about it, maybe it was because Pei Zhuxuan knew about the existence of Zheng Xiujing, Pei Xiuzhi and the like, and there was a gap in his heart.

Or are you waiting for him to take the initiative?

have no idea.

As a good relative who knows Chi Jingyuan very well, Zheng Endi knew that his guess was right when he looked at him, and then saw him showing a noncommittal expression, as if he understood something from it, and I don't know why he was so angry Angry, she didn't ask who this object was, but looked at him with a slightly drunk breath and said seriously:

"I think this is right. Love in the idol world is inherently unreliable. I fell in love with each other all of a sudden, and then I couldn't see each other because of the schedule. Maybe it won't be a few I broke up with Yue, I have seen and heard too many such cases... You must have seen a lot, I guess you have experienced a lot..."

"People don't know how long they can last if they really date you... So except for those who are in love, in my opinion, everyone should put their career first...unless there is a deep emotional foundation, or a real relationship. What I like is that I can't do it, I can't control it..."

"I didn't say anything, why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

Seeing Zheng Endi's solemn appearance, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing wryly, feeling that he was inexplicably affected.

He took the initiative to hold up his wine glass and leaned over: "I think it's good to be ambitious. I know what I should do most, and the appearance of earnest persistence has a different kind of charm."

But it would be even better if you are ambitious and can't help it because you like it too much.

He didn't say the last sentence.

"You really said everything."

Zheng Eundi glanced at Chi Jingyuan angrily, then clinked glasses with him, and drank a glass of beer in one gulp. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression relaxed again, remembering what Chi Jingyuan said just now Yes, she curled her lips and shook her head: "Speaking of which, don't look at Na En as a bit of an iron wall girl, in fact, in my opinion, she is a bit of a romantic mind... Go regret it."

"Didn't I say it, I regret it!"

"It's a ghost... Uh, I drank a little too much today... By the way, we will be the MC of the comeback stage of "Music Bank" on the 17th, right?"

"Unfortunately, for our concert on the 18th, I will fly to the mainland on the 17th, and there will be activities on that day."

"Absent again? How many times have you been absent? Is this still the MC?"

"Don't talk nonsense, only twice..."

After the happy toast, Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Endi, who were already a little tipsy, drank the last glass of wine. After packing up their things, today's family gathering ended. Zheng Endi waved his hand and took the initiative to pay the bill. , the two walked out of the restaurant together after the proprietress sent them off.

Heading slightly dizzy, he came out of the air-conditioned box filled with the smell of wine and vegetables. Standing at the door, he felt the sweltering surroundings. When he heard the cicadas and the car, Chi Jingyuan only felt a return from illusion to reality. .

"Goodbye."

The assistant was already waiting at the door by Zheng Endi's phone call. Chi Jingyuan watched her get into the car as she stumbled and helped her up. Then the two waved goodbye to each other through the window.

Looking at the back of the nanny's car going away, he stood still, shook his head, and let out a long breath.

Well, I really had a comfortable chat today. Chi Jingyuan really doesn't have many relatives in the circle who can talk like this casually.

Then he walked back a few steps, got into his own nanny car parked beside him, and after greeting his assistant Cui Zhichang, the car drove towards the dormitory, while Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat by the window With the windows open, you can enjoy the cool evening breeze.

It was approaching early morning, and there were not many vehicles driving on the street. Cui Zhichang was driving very fast, driving rapidly on the Han River Bridge. The Banpo Bridge in the distance was brightly lit. Against the background of the river, the streamer-like night lights looked like dancing light golden butterflies, following the rippling water and shining brightly towards the morning. Flying towards the distance, Chi Jingyuan stared at it for a long time, without even noticing that he was slowly losing focus.

He watched the night scene in silence for a while, then shook his drunken head again, as if recalling the chat with Zheng Eundi just now, or perhaps reminded of someone, she sighed and stretched out her hand to close the window, then took the He took out the mobile phone next to him, looked through the address book, found the name and dialed it.

The dialing sound felt a little long at this time, and it was connected after several rings.

"……call……"

"...Why are you calling me so late?"

First there was a gasping sound that was close to the receiver, and then followed closely by Pei Zhuxuan's low, crisp and soft voice. There was some curiosity in the tone, and there seemed to be a hint of happiness.

"because……"

There was a familiar voice in his ears. As soon as he heard it, he guessed that the sister had quickly climbed out of bed after seeing the call, ran to the balcony with her slippers on, closed the door, and squatted there to answer the call. .

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. He leaned back on the chair, raised his eyes to face the roof of the car, put his mobile phone to his ear, and said in a dazed voice: "Suddenly, I really want to hear you sing."

"Have you been drinking?"

Pei Zhuxuan knew something about the difference in the tone and rhythm of Chi Jingyuan's words, but she didn't say more after asking reflexively. She didn't ask why she was drinking or who she was with. , just smiled slightly, with no intention of rejection at all, and replied in a greasy tone: "What do you want to hear?"

Then before Chi Jingyuan could reply, she asked herself: "How about 'Let It Be'? This is the song I know how to sing best."

The tone seemed to show off, like a child who wanted to be praised.

"Haha, I knew you would say that."

Upon hearing this sentence and the familiar song title, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he continued: "I won't listen to this song today... I am too familiar with it... and it feels a bit strange." It fits the current atmosphere.”

"I want to hear..."

Both of them fell into silence at this time. Chi Jingyuan looked at the fading bridge in the distance and softly broke the tacit silence: "Butterfly Girl."

"good."

He responded crisply, and a few seconds later, Pei Zhuxuan's low humming came from the receiver. There was no accompaniment, just a simple human voice, but it was very clear and especially pleasant:

"..."

"Guide me!"

"Take me with you to where you live~"

"Never leave my sight~"

"Don't disappear even if morning comes~"

"..."

With soft singing and gentle breathing, the nanny car roared through downtown Seoul and drove towards the distance.

…

Strangely enough, Chi Jingyuan was particularly alert when listening to Pei Zhuhyun singing in the car. He could hear clearly the vibration of the other party's voice, the beat of the tune, and even the breathing in the middle. Even during the chorus, He hummed a few words together.

Bae Zhuhyun seems to be quite familiar with this song, obviously she has heard it more than once or twice before.

And the singing was really nice. Even if it was pure a cappella singing, the sound could not be amplified, but the singing still had its own taste and feeling, which made Chi Jingyuan feel that he had underestimated the young lady's singing ability before.

Not losing to Son Seung-wan at all.

But as the song ended and the nanny car was about to arrive at its destination, the drunkenness and drowsiness he had felt before immediately hit him. After a while, he felt dizzy. After saying goodbye to Bae Zhuhyun, he finally said goodbye. I went back to the dormitory to wash up quickly. I didn't even have time to pay attention to my roommate's teasing, and fell asleep on the bed.

After a good sleep, he was noisy by his scheduled cell phone early the next morning. After tidying up, he rushed to the company. There was another important thing waiting for him to confirm this morning.

"ai~~~~Nuna, didn't you say you don't need onomatopoeia..."

In the music room, Chi Jingyuan was reading the lyrics that Kim Taeyeon in front of him had just given him. He couldn't help but raise his head after reading a few sentences and looked at the expectant Kim Taeyeon who was speaking speechlessly.

Last night when I was having dinner with Jung Eunji, I received a call from Kim Taeyeon. Knowing that she had written the lyrics, they happened to have time this morning, so they made an appointment to meet in the music room.

But after getting the lyrics, his previous expectations were slightly disappointed. In the end, he couldn't help but add: "Is this a habit of girlhood?"

Among the lyrics he got, the last part of the two choruses was replaced by inexplicable onomatopoeia, which made him feel dizzy.

"Who told you, this is not the same concept as GEE, okay... But I can't think of any suitable words here, so I tried singing it and used a sound that I thought was good. Instead..."

Kim Taeyeon, who was full of expectations, was immediately furious after being denied, and tried to explain forcefully and forcefully, but in the end she felt a little embarrassed, and her voice gradually weakened.

"Well... Nuna, wait until I finish reading before talking... These few sentences are quite good."

Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and continued to read. His eyes lit up as he watched.

"Petals fall."

"I, who was once in pain, followed the faint light, and the vague days gradually faded away."

"Flying away brilliantly, in the radiant sky, in a new vision, flying far away, I fly higher and higher, unique and beautiful,"

"The moment you close your eyes."

"Time stands still."

"I took off again."

The last pronunciation of each line of lyrics can be pressed, and it is not just a meaningless forced splicing. Each line seems to contain an emotion and a story.

Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered the notebook that Kim Taeyeon gave him before, and through these lyrics, he easily experienced some heavy and meaningful life memories and mental journeys of this sister Kim Taeyeon.

"It's really good." He boasted again, and raised his head to look at the other party seriously.

"Hahaha." I was a little embarrassed to be praised, but it was more of a surprise and excitement to be recognized. Kim Taeyeon held back a few times, but she still couldn't hold back her frowning laughter.

Although she wrote it with great care and substituted a lot of her real experiences and feelings, but to be honest, she didn't have much confidence. She didn't expect Chi Jingyuan to be so satisfied.

"It's amazing, it's worthy of being the repertoire of your life, Nuna..."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the stern sister in amazement, and then cheered up, looking at the lyrics and thinking seriously.

And Kim Taeyeon didn't bother him, just sat aside and followed him to watch.

Substituted into the song and sang silently a few times. After thinking about it for a while, he picked up the pen and pointed to the music score and said: "The last part of the lyrics is really good, I just need to change it a little bit, for the sake of rhyme and the whole, put some Change Korean to English, and delete some redundant words at the same time, you can use it directly..."

"Then there are these few lines. Although they are interesting, they are not very good for lyrics. I think they should be revised..."

"Like this sentence." Chi Jingyuan stroked with a pen, and Kim Taeyeon leaned over and looked at it intently: "I want to regain my forgotten dream."

"This word is too straightforward. The tone and style of this song have almost been determined. It is not an ordinary saliva song at all. It needs more romantic and touching lyrics. I think..."

He pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then took out another piece of A4 paper from the side, and wrote while talking: Change it to "a dream that was once forgotten, and my heart will redraw it", what do you think? "

"Feel much better!"

Kim Taeyeon stared carefully at the words written by Chi Jingyuan with staring eyes, and silently realized it in her heart, then raised her head and nodded vigorously twice.

"That's fine... and then this sentence, 'Those voices that keep emerging, have been surrounding me' is changed to 'words like raindrops falling, tightly wrapping me who is shaken'..."

"marvelous!"

"Don't be too happy, let's try to sing..."

The quality of the lyrics written by Kim Taeyeon is beyond Chi Jingyuan’s imagination. There are a large section that can be used directly. Although some of the other words may not be perfect, the feeling and emotion are already in place, and it is almost enough to modify it. used.

The two of them focused on going from beginning to end together, and modified a few inappropriate words and sentences, making the word spectrum suddenly look brand new.

Then came the most important part of the chorus, which is the first few onomatopoeia used by Kim Taeyeon.

"Actually... I don't think onomatopoeia is needed here."

Chi Jingyuan stared at the lyrics and sang a few lines softly, as if he had found the feeling: "Nu Na, look..."

Taeyeon's head was very close, almost blocking Chi Jingyuan's sight.

Chi Jingyuan, who was working, was extremely serious. He didn't care about the smell of his hair. He took a pen and gently crossed out the ridiculous onomatopoeia, and said:

"In this sentence, change the Korean at the end of 'I' to English, replace it with 'I', and then add no other words, just prolong the sound of 'I' and use it as the following lyrics."

"The other two sentences are the same, change '飞运' to 'fly', change 'sky' to 'sky', the ending is still long..."

Chi Jingyuan wrote and drew on it with a pen, and finally passed the lyrics to Kim Taeyeon: "Then try to sing?"

"I~~~~~~"

Kim Taeyeon should have sung the score of this song countless times and knew it by heart, and immediately sang it with the newly revised lyrics.

Just after singing a sentence, the eyes of both of them lit up.

The effect is really good, much better than the forced rhyming of Korean before, and the few foley letters she superimposed on it, and it has not changed the meaning of the original lyrics.

"That's it, use this!"

Kim Taeyeon immediately showed the demeanor of a big sister, with a wave of her small hand, she wanted to confirm it.

"OK."

Chi Jingyuan also made a gesture with a smile. This kind of working feeling combined with tacit understanding and inspiration is really great.

"And then this sentence..."

"..."

The two have been busy all morning since they met in the morning, going over and revising the entire lyrics. At the end, the two stretched together and let out a long breath. Chi Jingyuan folded the lyrics in his hands got up, bumped on the table and sorted it out, and looked at Taeyeon who was still shining brightly beside him with a smile on his face:

"The lyrics in the rap stage are not yet perfect, but I will change it later and it should be almost the same. Before that, I specially cut down the rap passages of this song. There are not many in itself, and it won't take too much time."

"The lyrics and music of this song can be said to have almost been completed, and after a meeting with Mr. Li Xiuman and the others to confirm, it will be sent to the musicians for arrangement and recording. Next, the progress of the album will be accelerated, but...

He paused, and pointed to the lyrics in front of him: "But the title song of this song hasn't been named yet, Taeyeon Nu, do you have any ideas?"

"Name?"

This question seemed to be asked of Kim Taeyeon, she opened her mouth and was stunned, as if she was caught in thinking and memory.

After thinking for a while, her wandering eyes turned back to the lyrics in front of her, looking at the revised and unmodified ones, the lyrics written by herself with all her heart and soul, reflecting her own mental journey, her eyes slowly lit up He got up, bit his lower lip, raised his head, his eyes were bright:

"Let's call it "I"."
