Chapter 631 We Have a Day Off Today

"Onie, your birthday is at the end of the month. I'll go see you then..."

After finishing the team building of the group, Bae Zhuhyun had just taken a shower after returning to the dormitory. She was sitting on the bed wrapped in a headscarf. Not long after, she received an online call from her sister. She leaned on the pillow and swayed gently with her feet hanging on the edge of the bed. It looked like good mood.

Red Velvet has no schedule these two days, and the preparations for the album have been completed. After dinner, the members who live in Seoul took a two-day vacation and went back. Today, she and Son Seungwan, who was taking a shower, were the only ones left in the dormitory. You can also feel free to pick up the phone.

When she heard that her sister was coming to see her, she felt a little happy and said, "Don't you have to go to class anymore... Okay, I just happened to take you to the nail salon I often go to to try it out. By the way, my friend Ernie did it some time ago. He also recommended a very good one to me... But we should be in the return period at that time, and I may not be able to stay out for too long... I will try my best."

"Don't try too hard, Unnie. You can go and get a manicure or something, but that's not the point... What's more important is, can you let me meet your boyfriend? If you are dating, you will definitely have dinner together on your birthday, right?" "It's not like you don't know that I'm Aili, but I'm looking forward to seeing Yuan Oppa..." Pei Yunzhen immediately became anxious when she heard that her sister might not have time.

Things like her sister's birthday are too ordinary for her, and there is no need to celebrate it. If she couldn't see her idol, she wouldn't bother to ask for leave.

And she also knew very well that Ernie didn't really like celebrating birthdays...

"Ah, so you're not here for me?" Pei Zhuxuan became unhappy immediately upon hearing this, and asked pretending to be angry.

"Of course, it's mainly because of you, Ernie. I miss you..."

Bae Yun-zhen, who had already figured out Bae Zhu-hyun's character, immediately smiled to please her, and soon her sister made her laugh.

After chatting for a while, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly thought of something: "By the way, did you see the bag I sent you a few days ago?"

"Of course I saw it!" Upon hearing this, my sister's voice immediately became excited: "Which one is GUCCI, Unnie? You can't buy it here in the peninsula. Was it given to me by Oppa Jingyuan?"

"Well, I mentioned you casually to him before. He bought some clothes as gifts when he went to Milan Fashion Week some time ago. He also brought a bag specifically for you and asked me to send it to you..."

Speaking of this, the young lady's tone became a little reserved. Her feet hanging under the edge of the bed began to sway unconsciously, and her white toes also curled up proudly. Her little fingers that had just taken a bath were white, tender and moist, and they were still wet. You can see the cyan color of blood vessels.

What she said during the video chat with her boyfriend that day was actually the truth. She is not too fond of luxury bags and other things. As long as they look good and are easy to use, she is fine. But of course she will have some thoughts in her heart after she refuses verbally. Chi Jingyuan also took the initiative to buy a lot of gifts and bring them back to her. At the same time, he also brought some to the sister she mentioned casually.

This feeling of being remembered in her heart really made her very happy. She was very happy at the time. When she mentioned it to her sister, she felt so sweet when she heard the other person's envious tone.

At this moment, a dialog box suddenly popped up on her phone, which was a video sent by Chi Jingyuan. Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lit up after seeing it, and she didn't bother to show off to Pei Yunzhen. She hurriedly said to her: "Something happened." Okay, I won’t tell you anymore, we’ll talk next time…”

"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet, Ouni, don't..."

Pei Yunzhen hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, but as soon as she finished speaking, the Internet call was hung up on the other party. Pei Zhuxuan obviously had no intention of continuing to listen to her and left her alone without hesitation.

"Tch..." She probably guessed what happened to Ernie, so she snorted partially and cursed secretly in her heart.

On the other side, Pei Zhuxuan connected to the video sent by Chi Jingyuan and looked at the extremely lazy male father lying on the bed without any embellishment. His bright and soft eyes immediately curved like the moon.

"Have you finished the concert?" Pei Zhuxuan asked warmly. She knew Chi Jingyuan's and EXO's schedule very well, and knew that her husband flew to the mainland for a tour.

"Well, I just came back from dinner with them."

Chi Jingyuan, who had just finished taking a shower, was lying lazily on the bed in the hotel room, leaning against the bedside while casually watching TV and playing video with Pei Zhuhyun: "I failed to choose a place to eat today. I said it was very bad." There are special seafood, but the taste is average... It’s better to follow my advice and eat Sichuan food.”

"oh every time I see you~~"

While he was talking, the online TV in front of him was also playing a TV series. Coincidentally, it happened to be "Descendants of the Sun" that was being broadcast simultaneously in China and South Korea. The OST that was playing happened to be "Everytime" sung by EXO member Jin Jongdae.

This song is really nice, Chi Jingyuan hummed it smoothly.

Listening to Chi Jingyuan's humming, Pei Zhuxuan smiled beautifully. She could tell that although the boyfriend was complaining about the unpalatable dinner, it actually made him feel good.

"Where's Sehun? Are you the only one?" After quietly listening to Chi Jingyuan hum the chorus, the young lady asked with blinking eyes. She knew that when such an overseas trip required staying in a hotel, Chi Kyung-won would always share a room with Oh Se-hun, and occasionally with Do Kyung-soo, but rarely because Do Kyung-soo smoked.

"I went to Brother Junmyeon's room to play cards." Chi Jingyuan withdrew his eyes from Song Hye Kyo's face on the TV, locked on Bae Zhuhyun's plain face on the phone, and explained briefly.

He still felt that Song Hye Kyo's appearance was not to his liking, but on the contrary, the second female lead, Kim Ji Won, felt outstanding.

"Why didn't you go?" the young lady asked.

He tilted his head and replied casually: "Because the cards are not as good looking as yours."

"Ha..." Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and laughed, and then she started chatting with her father with a smile: "What do you think we are doing at night?"

"Um?"

"Today is Yilin's birthday. We went to celebrate her birthday... The company didn't organize any birthday activities for her. She was actually quite unhappy at first, but she is still young and her temper went down very quickly..."

"Maybe I'm complaining in my heart."

"Why do you think of Yelin like this? She's not that old... She was very happy during the meal, and she even complained to us that before you guys from EXO made fun of her on her birthday before she debuted, what are you doing? It was a birthday surprise, and she was not allowed to wear shoes and was made to stand, which made Yelin cry so sadly..."

"Is there still this thing? I don't know, it probably happened before I joined SM."

"That's you XO! You must have a share."

"Well... that's okay, but now I'm not interested in teasing her. I want to tease her captain."

"Humph..." The young lady rolled her eyes at him charmingly and wrinkled her nose.

After chatting in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere for a while, Pei Zhuxuan asked again: "When will you come back?"

"I will go back tomorrow. The crew still has filming duties. Others will have to transfer to Bangkok. There are several brand platforms and autograph signing activities there..."

"'Signal' was really successful, it should be finished soon, right?"

"Well, it's only been the past two days." Chi Jingyuan nodded, and while he was admiring Pei Zhuxuan's face like a junior high school student, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, are you free on the night of the 9th?"

"It should be true. Apart from a few promotional photo shoots, I haven't had any other work lately. The comeback activities won't officially start until the 15th. What's wrong?"

"It's Taeyeon Noona. She holds a small party every year on her birthday. When she called me two days ago, she asked me to ask you to come with her."

Chi Jingyuan said briefly, and then added a few words with a slightly disgusted tone: "Actually, it's not interesting. Let's invite a few close friends to have a meal together to chat and celebrate. They are all artists in the company. I heard that she I won’t go to restaurants this year. I plan to cook it at home. I don’t know how unpalatable it will be..."

Listening to Chi Jingyuan's tone and some rambling words, Pei Zhuxuan looked at the father in the video, smiled, and felt something in his heart.

Although Chi Jingyuan didn't say it, the two of them must have gone together as husband and wife, so it would be made public in a small area.

Although many people among red vlevet and EXO members know it, but even so, I am still very happy.

"good."

The young lady responded very gently, and then asked softly: "Shall we go together that day?"

"I have a schedule to run on the 9th, and I'll probably arrive a little later. I'll ask Taeyeon Noona to send you the address of her apartment later. You go there first, and I'll take you back in the evening..."

"good."

…

"CUT, good."

"That's it, I announce that "Signal" is finished!"

After finishing the filming of the last scene, Jin Yuanxi was surrounded by all the actors and staff in the center. He glanced left and right, especially the three closest actors. After a while and a smile, he finally took the He announced loudly through the loudspeaker.

After the concert in the Mainland, Chi Jingyuan did not participate in the Bangkok event with the group, and returned directly to the crew in Seoul to shoot "Signal". After the last three days of hard work, the crew finally came to the end of filming. .

As Kim Won-seok's words fell, a burst of joyful applause erupted from the surroundings two seconds later. Chi Kyung-won stood next to the director, smiling broadly, and looked at each other with the two leading actors, Kim Hye-soo and Zhao Zhenxiong, and shook his head. Applause.

At the opening ceremony a few months ago, the three leading actors took turns worshiping God together, and Kim Won-seok performed a dance scene that is still vivid in my mind. In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and "The Signal", a TV series with high hopes, has also It's finally almost time to end.

Of course, just because the crew is wrapping up filming doesn't mean Chi Jingyuan has nothing to do. He still has some dubbing work and a series of activities to do with the TV station after the ending.

There are still two episodes left for the finale of "Signal". Both the crew and tvN actually have the ambition to increase the ratings of the final episode to see if they can reach the level of "Reply 1988", but they have also given Several leading actors arranged some related publicity work.

The completion of filming means that Chi Jingyuan no longer has to stay on the set from morning to night every day, and his time suddenly becomes a lot freer.

But Chi Jingyuan is actually pessimistic about the ambition of the crew, because the last few episodes of "Signal" are inferior to the beginning in terms of the tightness of the rhythm and the sophistication of the case design. At the same time, from the suspense of the serial murder reasoning, Slowly transforming into exposing the darkness of society and officials, this subject matter is a bit too depressing, and is actually unpalatable to some viewers.

But even so, it does not hinder the success of this show.

A successful TV series is a very good qualification for all the actors and staff involved. At the final moment, everyone on the crew smiled and said goodbye.

For example, the three leading actors, Kim Hye Soo and Zhao Zhenxiong, took the initiative to pat Ji Jingyuan on the shoulder. He also smiled shyly and complimented the two seniors.

He had also exchanged the contact information of the two leading actors a long time ago. Although they may not have much contact in the future, the relationship was preserved anyway.

Finally, after chatting with Jin Yuanxi for a while and making an appointment for dubbing, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to him and left.

When the nanny car stopped at the door and Chi Jingyuan was about to get in the car and leave, he took one last look back at the police station building that was specially built by the crew and where he had stayed day and night for several months. Feelings welled up in my heart.

He finally looked at the simulated police badge in front of the building and smiled knowingly, then turned around and got in the car and closed the door.

There's nothing better than saying goodbye to hard work and perfect results with a bright smile.

…

On March 9th, when Chi Jingyuan was on a brand promotion trip, SM also released the official DVD of EXO's second neon tour, but the company seemed to pay little attention to it and did not promote it vigorously.

But many Ariels who had nothing to do because their idols didn’t come back still made purchases. That’s how the general trend is. As long as their names are mentioned, many things are very easy to sell.

When Chi Jingyuan was approaching evening, he finished his favorite trip and rushed towards Kim Taeyeon's apartment, it was already getting busy there.

"Irene, forget it, don't be busy, it's too much trouble, I've already ordered takeout."

Kim Taeyeon lay down on the sofa in relief and yelled in the direction of the kitchen.

Huang Meiying smiled, sitting next to her and looking at her beauty in the small mirror, and said with a prophetic face: "I have warned you a long time ago to either go out to eat or order takeout, but you still have to cook it yourself, plus Irene, we are busy After waiting for a long time, I finally ordered takeout..."

"Ah, we are busy even if we are busy. What did you do?" Kim Taeyeon, who has her birthday today, became angry when she looked at the members next to her. Her big feet came out of her slippers and kicked Huang Meiying unceremoniously. He slapped his butt, but received a burst of indifferent smile from the other party.

After a while, Pei Zhuxuan came out and sat next to him with some unfinished thoughts: "Unnie, why don't you finish that dish..."

"I don't want to do it. It's too much trouble... Don't do it either. When Jingyuan comes, you'll be the only one cooking and claiming my responsibility."

"How could it be possible..." Pei Zhuxuan smiled sheepishly, her legs in white slippers put together, looking very well-behaved.

"Hey Yigu, it turns out that Irene is really dating Jingyuan... I didn't believe it when I heard the rumors before."

Key, who was sitting on a stool on the side, looked over at this time, and his tone still contained some of the surprise when he learned the news: "Yinyin CP is actually real, I said how can you act so similar? We The PD of the "M! countdown" program team also held a special meeting to discuss whether to imitate Yinyin CP's hosting style..."

Kim Ki-bum's tone of voice was always exaggerated, and his small eyes were darting, making Bae Joo-hyun cover her mouth and laugh.

Jin Heechul also nodded and clicked his tongue, "But that's okay. Our company's unspoken rule is to support romance within the company. Regardless of Irene or Jingyuan, it would be a waste if such high-quality male and female resources go out."

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Upon hearing this, Kim Taeyeon interjected disdainfully.

These senior seniors who have been in the industry for who knows how many years talk about this topic without shying away, which makes Bae Zhuhyun actually a little uncomfortable and seems a little shy.

Kim Taeyeon has a rather nerdy personality, and her social circle is not very large. She doesn’t have many close friends. Even some members of Girls’ Generation are not close to her. In addition, due to privacy issues, there are some non-artists. It's not easy to invite friends, so including Chi Jingyuan who didn't come, these are the only people today.

Sunny and Yoona were originally going to come, but one of them had something to do and the other was not in Seoul.

If Ji Kyung Won knew about it, he would be very disappointed. He lost an opportunity to meet his idol. He was also planning to personally praise YoonA sunbaenim for his subway song "Spring on Deoksugung Stone Wall Road" after seeing him. Very good.

Half an hour later, the takeout ordered by Kim Taeyeon was delivered. After several people packed it up, they did not eat it. After waiting for about ten minutes, the doorbell rang again.

"jingle……"

Chi Jingyuan pressed the doorbell, and soon there were faint footsteps inside. Soon the door opened, and Pei Zhuxuan appeared in front of Chi Jingyuan.

I looked up and down at my father with a smile. Today, the young lady was wearing private clothes, the usual white plain long-sleeved shirt with jeans. The dyed black long hair was tied into a ball behind her head, and the scattered air bangs were rubbed from her forehead. The sides are spread out, the clothes are very ordinary, and the hairstyle is very homely, but the combination on her looks particularly fresh and vivid.

The makeup on her face was light, and her face was white and tender. Pei Zhuxuan, who always cared about her appearance, obviously dressed like this deliberately today. First, she didn't want to steal the limelight from Kim Taeyeon, the protagonist who was celebrating her birthday today.

Second, she knew that Chi Jingyuan liked her style of dress and makeup.

"Are all the people here?"

He reached out and lifted the bangs on the side of Pei Zhuxuan's forehead, and Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at him, and said softly, while bending down to take a pair of slippers from the side and put them at his feet, which were obviously prepared before: "You are the only one missing."

"Ah, why are you here so late?" Before Chi Jingyuan replied, Kim Taeyeon's dissatisfied voice came from inside. She smiled for the next year, looked at Pei Zhuxuan, and took her in.

"It's already very rushed, and there is still a traffic jam on the road... Nuna's hairstyle is good today"

Chi Jingyuan greeted several people after coming in, and then praised Taeyeon.

But it was the truth. He always thought that the short hair style of this sister's song "Rain" was very suitable.

Everyone present was familiar with him. They had eaten together many times, so there was no taboo or unfamiliarity.

Only the young lady might be more familiar with Chi Jingyuan and Jin Taeyeon, but the atmosphere around her was very good, and the others did not treat her as an outsider, so she could easily integrate into the group.

"Good vision!"

"... Let's talk about it later... Let's eat first..."

Jin Taeyeon just complained and didn't get entangled. After chatting for a while, he stood up and beat his hands for a while, then took the lead and walked towards the dining table. Several people also stood up from the sofa and followed behind.

Chi Jingyuan found a seat at the side of the dining table and sat down. Pei Zhuxuan pulled out a stool and sat next to him very naturally.

First, Jin Jifan brought out a cake, and a group of people sang a blessing song together. After Jin Taeyeon pretended to put her hands together and made a wish and blew out the candles, they started to eat and chat.

"... Jingyuan, you went to Milan Fashion Week some time ago. It seems that you are sure to get the title?"

"I think so. Maybe this year."

"Tsk tsk, this is GUCCI. There is no idol in the whole Kpop with such a title. Our company's fashion resources have always been mediocre. How did we get in touch with them?"

"Well... Actually, they took the initiative to contact the company."

"…………"

"By the way, if I had known you were going to Milan some time ago, I should have asked you to help bring back some things. Many seasonal clothes and bags there are not available here... What a pity."

"Well... It's a bit of a pity. Maybe next time."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, then looked at Bae Joo-hyun next to him in a tacit understanding, and the two of them smiled together.

"..."

"Yi~ I should have brought my girlfriend here too." After seeing Bae Joo Hyun pick up a dish that Chi Jingyuan couldn't reach, Kim Ki-Bum frowned and seemed a little sour.

"Ah, why did you bring your girlfriend when I don't know her? Irene came because she has a good relationship with me. Do you think it's because of Jingyuan?" Kim Taeyeon was a little unhappy when she heard this. She frowned and glared at Kim Ki-Bum, then stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a dish for Bae Joo Hyun.

"Thank you, unnie."

"Yes, Taeyeon is the big sister of SM now, and we are all hanging out with her." Chi Jingyuan immediately echoed and praised.

"Well...hahahahaha...don't say that, BoA unnie is the big sister." Kim Taeyeon couldn't help laughing a few times, and then quickly waved her hand to correct Chi Jingyuan's words.

"..."

"Speaking of which, the signal is really hot. Is the finale coming soon?"

"Yes, it will be aired this week."

"The cable TV station has really high ratings... It's a pity that Yoona didn't come today, otherwise you two actors would have something to talk about."

"..." Chi Jingyuan sighed and nodded, "What a pity."

...

Because he had to drive later, Chi Jingyuan didn't drink. Everyone had dinner together and chatted in the living room for a while. After playing games for a while, everyone left one by one. Chi Jingyuan took Pei Zhuxuan and other friends to say goodbye, and the two took the elevator down to the parking lot of the apartment together.

"Does Taeyeon invite people to get together every year?"

"Yes, for several years."

"The atmosphere is really good, and several seniors are very interesting..."

"The profession of an artist is originally stressful and has a lot of privacy. People in the circle can be less shy."

The two walked side by side and talked while walking. Pei Zhuxuan obviously liked the atmosphere of the chat just now. She was in a good mood and walked with a twist.

Soon, the two walked to Chi Jingyuan's car, opened the door, and got in.

As the car door closed, the sound of gentle chatting just now suddenly disappeared. After a short silence, the two people in the driver's seat and the co-pilot looked at each other, and then hugged each other very naturally, one hugged the other's neck, and the other hugged the other's waist.

I don't know how long it took, after a rustling and panting sound. Pei Zhuxuan's face was flushed and she was breathing, while Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Are you going back to the dormitory later?"

Hearing this, the little sister looked at her tenderly, then smiled suddenly with a pursed mouth, raised her head and leaned close to Chi Jingyuan's ear, and blew a breath gently, and the warm air flow made Chi Jingyuan tremble slightly:

"We have a day off today."
