Chapter 652 Very Beautiful

…

When Twice and their fans were celebrating their first song, Chi Jingyuan, who was far away in Neon Tokyo, followed the EXO members and did not go back to the hotel directly after the rehearsal, but found a local hotel. We gathered together for a late night snack at a specialty restaurant.

"How many years does this store say it has been passed down?"

Chi Jingyuan looked at the plate that the waiter had just put in front of him. There was only a small skewer covered in sauce on the delicate plate. He sniffed it lightly and asked curiously next to him. arrive.

Nine members sat around a square table at a large table, and two waiters were needed just to serve the food.

"Seventy years." Do Kyung-soo had already started eating, and replied somewhat vaguely.

"Didn't you say eighty years?"

Byun Baekhyun retorted, picked up the roasted bird and smelled it for a long time without eating it. He smiled and looked at Jin Junmyeon next to him and asked, "How many years is it?"

"a hundred years."

Jin Junmian said casually and happily ate the kebabs in his hands.

Jin Junmyeon found this shop online. It is said that it is an old shop that has been passed down for many years. It specializes in roasted birds and fried tempura. It has a history of 70 or 80 years and is very famous in the local area.

I don’t know the specific time. After I came here, the decoration was more modern and not so historical. But anyway, that’s how it was said. At least the style has been created.

Chi Jingyuan took a bite of the roasted bird and tasted it carefully.

It's okay, a little sweet, but the taste is good. Although it doesn't reach the level of "eighty years", it can be regarded as a meal that will make him think, "I will come again next time."

However, this store has a drawback.

It's just that the food is served a bit too slowly. They are all freshly grilled. Every time they are brought out, they are eaten within a second, and then you have to wait for a while before the next round is served. .

After eating one round, it was boring time again. Chi Jingyuan took out his phone and started browsing while listening to the members' chat.

The hot searches in the entertainment section on the peninsula are still #AOA Ahn Jung-geun, #EXO return, #I.O.I debut, these are the hottest terms today, and the most popular one happens to be #Twice.

In fact, through the results of the first week of "Cheer Up", they achieved PAK in just three days, and the other two groups who returned at the same time completely pulled off the strong performance. Many people, even fans, had already had a premonition that they would win today. One person.

However, when I actually got a singer from my group after their debut, the joy of watching my idol grow and finally getting something was beyond words. After browsing casually, Chi Jingyuan saw that now Obviously, the number of onces has increased and they are having parties online excitedly.

In fact, if Twice hadn't gone to a small station to play songs two days ago, with the performance and popularity of "Cheer Up", he might have won it long ago.

What’s interesting is that in addition to the hot search of #chuyiyi on twice, Ming Jingnan’s name also appeared inexplicably on it. She appeared in "M!" today. The close-up shot with tears in his eyes but a knowing smile in "Countdown" seemed to surprise many people. After the show was broadcast, it aroused many discussions among viewers and fans. As more and more people saw it, at this time, Just relying on one lens to become a hot search can be regarded as a small break out of the circle.

"Ah ah, not only is she beautiful, she also has a great temperament! The way she raised her head and smoothed her hair really attracted me. It was my first love."

"Is this Mina? I know the group Twice has not noticed that she is so good-looking for so long! I didn't think so before. I always felt that only Tzuyu and Nayeon were good in the entire group."

"When I was watching "Sixteen", I discovered that Mina was very beautiful. She stood out among everyone at that time. In the group episode, the fairy cried so beautifully..."

"After my comeback, I changed my look and my appearance immediately improved. I feel that Mina in Twice can now compete with Tzuyu for top appearance. Before, it was because her debut style and look were not very suitable for Mina. Her sticky hair stuck to her scalp. No one can handle kelp hair, let alone burgundy hair. I dare say no one in Kpop can handle this kind of hair color.”

"You've only been chasing idols for a few days and you dare to say that? No one can surpass Yuan's red-faced look during the "DOPE" period in 2014. When the MV and first stage came out at that time, I knew how amazing the fandom was. Yet?

If you are good-looking, you will look good in any style. If you are not good-looking, then you are not good-looking. When people talk about appearance, just say other things. You have to boast of some temperament. It makes me laugh... There is also this hot search, it must have been bought by JYP. This company is the best at this. When I saw the scene, I was crying and laughing so much that it was so artificial. And I didn’t see anything good about it. The female idol was just average... but maybe it was the people next to me who were setting it off. All right? "

After filtering out some highly prejudiced negative comments, Chi Jingyuan casually liked a comment that boasted about Jing Nan's rainbow fart.

The shot today was indeed quite beautiful, and he certified it.

The waiter served another round of dishes, and while eating Chi Jingyuan, he checked his Instagram with his trumpet.

He has too many large fans, but he only follows very few people. There are many people checking in all the time. Whether it is a like or a message, it will be seen instantly. It can easily cause misunderstandings and bad effects, so Chi Jingyuan registered a small account very early. When he usually browses Instagram, he usually uses a small account.

I don’t know if it was because he had just read a lot of discussions about Mingjing Nan, but he was browsing and suddenly found a very interesting account, which uploaded a lot of photos about Mingjing Nan, and there were all kinds of them. The photos are all beautiful, and in addition to the public photos of the event, there are also some photos that seem to be private. It looks like the account of a big fan girl.

Chi Jingyuan casually clicked on it and found that this account was not exactly a fan account. In addition to uploading many photos of Ming Jingnan, the owner of the account would also occasionally post some pictures of his own dishes, which were basically all neon. The cooking, each dish is quite exquisite, and it can be seen that the account owner is running this account very carefully.

Cooking pool Jingyuan is not very interested, but this account gives people a good feeling, and the quality of Mingnan's photos in it is very high, and he seems to be a very loyal Mina fan.

After quickly scrolling through it a few times without reading the message below, Chi Jingyuan clicked "Follow" and the waiter served the food again. He picked it up and fed it into his mouth. He looked at the members chatting lively next to him, put down his phone and joined in. Go in.

…

After returning to the dormitory, Minami, who was at the back of the queue to take a shower, sat on her bed.

Although she had a very busy schedule today, she did not feel too tired at this time. On the contrary, she was still very energetic, because what happened today had accumulated a lot of joy and excitement, and she knew that it was still lingering in her mind.

First of all, of course, Twice won the first place as a singer in their debut. This is the most exciting thing. Many members in the living room outside are still noisily cheering for it.

And the other one is that she accidentally became a hot search because of the scenes during the broadcast.

She looked at her hot-searched video with a little narcissism, looking at her beautiful appearance in the video and the rainbow fart that many fans praised in the comments below. She couldn't help but laugh at the message in her heart. Being noticed and favored by so many people was an experience she rarely had after her debut.

Looking at her, she remembered the emotional changes on the stage. After knowing that twice won the first place, an uncontrollable emotion surged into her heart at that moment. She actually burst into tears due to the excitement and mixed emotions. It had already leaked out. She was someone who cried easily. She probably couldn't bear the situation at that time.

But when I lowered my head and wanted to wipe my tears, I suddenly remembered a joke I made with Chi Jingyuan a few days ago:

Cry nicely.

Then for some reason, the crying in her heart was diluted, leaving only the joy and happiness from the inside out, and this emotion was also shown through her smile and eyes, along with the remaining tears in her eyes. , infected and amazed many people.

Does this count as fulfilling the agreement?

Hey.

Najing Nan took another look at his video and thought a little bit.

But I don’t know if Chi Jingyuan watched the broadcast...

Even if he didn't watch it, it's still very popular now, so he should have seen it...

She didn't know why, but an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.

Her legs that were swaying gently stopped, and after she pursed her lips and pondered for a while, she clenched her fists, picked up her phone, put on her slippers, and walked out.

…

After eating the late-night snack, they returned to the hotel without running around. There were two fan meetings tomorrow and they had to go to rehearsals early in the morning. It was not a good time to run around at night.

He had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed, chatting with his roommate. The cell phone on the bedside suddenly rang. Chi Jingyuan reached over and fumbled twice and took it over. He saw that it was Ming Jingnan calling.

Chi Jingyuan paused for a second, a little surprised, and then quickly connected: "Hey, don't worry."

"Gui..." A soft voice came from the phone, a little quiet.

There was just one tone, then silence. Chi Jingyuan thought there was something wrong with his cell phone, so he took it out to check the call status.

It was obviously you who called me, why didn't you say anything?

Chi Jingyuan complained in his heart. He didn't feel unfamiliar at all when we called him for the first time. He even pretended to have a strange tone and asked: "Mina Xi, why don't you speak? Isn't it because you didn't receive my congratulatory text message that you specifically asked? Call me to congratulate you on winning one, right?”

"Ani oh..."

Najing Nan was amused, she quickly denied it, then bluntly, and started to groan a little: "I want to say, um..."

Making a phone call is easy, but when talking at a really close distance, I suddenly feel speechless.

Although I sent many text messages and turned on the voice chat together when playing games, the number of phone calls was very few.

She was obviously not very used to it. After saying the beginning, she seemed to suddenly not know what to say.

The feeling of chatting via text message is completely different from talking on the phone.

After listening to the breathing sound twice, Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel that Mingjing Nan on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed at this time.

He took the initiative to take over the topic and spoke very naturally, as if he knew what Najing Nan wanted to say:

"very beautiful."

"..."

The other end of the phone suddenly went quiet, leaving only the faint sound of breathing.

After a while, she asked in a sticky tone, "Do you know what I want to ask?"

"I don't know."

Chi Jingyuan laughed and replied honestly: "But no matter what you say, I will say 'very beautiful.'"

"Ha, hehe." Ming Jingnan couldn't help but chuckled when the laughter came out of his mouth, and there was some satisfaction and vanity in his voice from being praised.

Without repeating the previous awkward silence, Chi Jingyuan laughed and asked proactively: "By the way, you won the first place. Did you all cry ugly? Did you celebrate with dinner tonight?

"No, you cried...very beautifully!"

She giggled, borrowed Chi Jingyuan's adjective, and then continued in a slightly faster tone:

"Many people held back on stage, but when we got backstage, they all couldn't hold back and cried for a long time... Especially Jihyo, who cried from beginning to end and didn't even sing the encore stage. Later, she accidentally dropped the first place trophy on the ground, which scared her, haha.

"We just had dinner together, which was considered a celebration... After the TV station ended the broadcast, we went straight back to the company and did a thank-you live broadcast..."

You two really like live broadcasts.

Chi Jingyuan complained inwardly and then asked:

"Are there many people watching?"

"A lot more than before... hehe."

After Chi Jingyuan began to take the initiative in the topic, Ming Jingnan on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the nerves that were tense because of embarrassment just now also relaxed suddenly. She just didn't like to talk on the phone for a while and didn't know what to say, but if someone took the initiative to guide her, she would become much more relaxed.

She enjoyed this feeling of being guided.

After a few simple conversations, Ming Jingnan became relaxed listening to the tone of the other party. Her soft voice became much clearer, and she took the initiative to mention what Twice had discussed before: "Later, when we were in the nanny car, the members also discussed that they wanted to treat you to a meal together..."

"Why?"

"'Cheer Up' performed very well, and we got the first place. Thank you producer Chi for your help."

"Haven't you sent a thank you text message before? And having a meal with you, I feel, a little uncomfortable..."

Hearing this news, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while and hesitated.

"Who are you not used to being with?" Ming Jingnan's tone changed slightly, a little strange.

When Zhou Ziyu came back at night some time ago, she quietly heard her tell Son Chaeyoung that she was "going to dinner with friends". After she took a look at Zhou Ziyu who was dressed up beautifully, she immediately knew who the "friend" she was talking about.

"It's not that I'm not used to it. Okay, wait until I'm not busy for a while..." Although Twice's sudden popularity has more to do with themselves and JYP's operation and promotion, Chi Jingyuan, who wrote "Cheer Up", naturally contributed a lot to it. He felt that it was normal for him to be thanked by these girls.

When Lin Nayeon gave her speech today, she also brought him along, which means they still have a little gratitude...

"Are you in Tokyo now?" After no longer being nervous and embarrassed, Ming Jingnan took the initiative to ask. She saw that there was a news report reprinting the airport photos of EXO leaving today, and knew that Chi Jingyuan and the others were in Japan now.

"Well, there are a few activities... I just went to a yakitori restaurant with other people that is said to have a hundred years of history." After the atmosphere was relaxed, everything could be discussed. Chi Jingyuan casually mentioned the midnight snack session that had impressed him.

"Haha, so long? How did it taste?"

And Mingjing Nan is also very interesting. Sometimes she may not be very good at finding topics, but as long as you ask questions, she can pick up your words very well. Moreover, no matter how boring the topic is, her voice is husky and soft, and she hums with a cute accent from time to time. The key point is that her tone can also show a kind of "she is very interested in what you say", which makes people who chat with her feel very comfortable.

"It's OK, but maybe because I had high hopes, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't too amazing in the end..."

"Don't be disappointed. Next time if I have a chance, I'll take you to eat some delicious food in Neon. I know a lot of old restaurants with great taste, which can't be found on the Internet!"

"Oh, I remembered that you are a local in Neon... What do you like to eat?"

"Well... I like to eat raw beef, especially the raw beef made by my mom is really great."

"Uh, raw?"

"Yes." Ming Jingnan was keen to hear that Chi Jingyuan's tone was a little strange, and asked softly: "Don't you like to eat raw food?"

"Well, I'm a little uncomfortable."

"But my mom's cooking is really delicious..." Ming Jingnan repeated it, and it can be seen that she has a very good relationship with her mother.

"I wonder if I'll have a chance to try it in the future..." Chi Jingyuan, who was not very used to raw food, responded perfunctorily, and then casually brought up another matter: "By the way, when I was browsing Instagram just now, I saw an account that should be your fan. It basically saves all the photos of your activities, including many photos that I haven't seen before. I don't know how it got them. It's really operated very carefully, but there are also some photos of cooking, but it looks delicious.

Mingjing Nan listened to Chi Jingyuan's narration. She originally thought that he was talking about an account operated by one of her fans. When she was happy that she had such a loyal fan, she felt something was wrong the more she listened.

After Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Well... Is this Instagram account called 'Sachiko'?"

"Sachiko? It seems so."

When Chi Jingyuan heard the name, he paused for a moment and recalled it for a while. The ID of the account seemed to be called 'sachikomy'. After translating, it seemed to mean Sachiko.

Mingjing Nan licked his lips and felt that it was very interesting. After laughing, he reminded her in a small voice: "That ins account... is my mother's."

"Ah?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"Sachiko is my mother's name... She uploaded a photo of me and her. Didn't you, um, see it?"

"Uh, I didn't look at it too carefully... I was wondering why there were so many private photos. It turns out... Haha. "

Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt a long-lost embarrassment. He tried to explain it a little, but he couldn't say anything more. He ended with a brilliant laugh.

"Haha..." Feeling something from Chi Jingyuan's tone, Ming Jingnan laughed suddenly, sounding very happy.

After a second or two, she said softly with a smile: "My mom's Instagram is not famous and has few fans. You can find this and follow her. Ha, it's really..."

Fate.

Ming Jingnan's voice was much smaller at the end, and the last two words were almost inaudible, but Chi Jingyuan could still understand what she meant from her tone and laughter.

He couldn't help but look up and think about the time when he accidentally brushed Instagram and came across her mother's account, thinking it was a fan and then followed her.

It's true.

At this time, Ming Jingnan seemed to remember something important, coughed lightly as if he was preparing, and asked after a pause:

"By the way, are you free on the 13th?"
