Chapter 729 What a Coincidence

After seeing the figure in front of him, Chi Jingyuan turned his attention to the other side, and did not notice that Ming Jingnan next to him suddenly became unusually stiff... He thought that the middle-aged passionate fan of Ming Jingnan he saw before had sneaked in at some point. Faced with such a crazy move, he took the initiative to step forward and tried to block the other party's sight.

This kind of thing has happened to EXO many times. During activities, they often encounter some powerful fans who sneak in to chase stars without knowing how, and even break into the lounge directly.

But soon Chi Jingyuan found that the middle-aged woman's sight seemed a little abnormal. She did look directly in the direction of Ming Jingnan at first glance. When she saw the other party, her eyes stayed for a while, and she also showed a smile. She waved her hand gently, looking very familiar, without the fanaticism of fans.

And after recognizing Ming Jingnan, her eyes did not stop at all. Instead, she focused on Chi Jingyuan at a very fast speed, looking up and down at him with a scrutinizing look, from the hat to the bridge of the nose, from the head to the calf... and she seemed to frown when she saw that he was wearing a mask.

Feeling this penetrating gaze, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Ming Jingnan next to him suddenly make a coquettish and excited voice: "Mom~"

Before the voice fell, she slid, two white legs supported her body and twisted like a penguin and trotted towards the middle-aged woman. When she got close, she took a small jump and ran to her side in less than a second, then hugged her right hand, and arched her head very intimately, showing an enjoyable and admiring smile.

The woman also smiled intimately, also hugged Ming Jingnan's head, patted it twice, with a face full of doting, a family close, a warm and harmonious scene of mother and daughter.

When Chi Jingyuan heard Ming Jingnan blurt out the name, he knew he was wrong... and the name "Mom" made him pause again.

Then he observed the appearance of the middle-aged woman carefully, and after recalling it, he seemed to remember why he felt that she looked familiar...

It was not because he had just met her, but it seemed that he had seen her once in a shopping mall. At that time, Ming Jingnan and her daughter happened to take the same elevator with several EXO members.

It was just because it was too long ago and the impression was not deep, so I couldn't remember it for a while...But after knowing the result, he could still recall the vague memory.

This...

Chi Jingyuan was a little dumbfounded. If it was someone else, other friends, even the parents of the girl, he would not care, anyway, it didn't matter...But Ming Jingnan was indeed a little more than an ordinary friend, and when the two of them walked side by side just now, they talked and laughed and seemed very close, and it didn't seem like they were just acquaintances.

He also understood where the scrutinizing look just now came from...It seemed that she seemed to have noticed that her precious daughter was being teased away.

But the script is not written like this...

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, and the eyes that swept towards him from time to time, Chi Jingyuan's heart was surging.

But he quickly came to his senses...It was not the first time he encountered such a thing as a female friend's parents. He had encountered it several times when he was in school before. Although the number of times was not large, he had some experience, so he was not as helpless as a beginner and could not say a word.

Just like Wu Shixun...long illness makes a good doctor.

After being surprised and nervous for a short time, Chi Jingyuan quickly calmed down. In fact, he was just a little surprised by the other party's identity and the encounter again. If it really escalates to other levels, to be honest, he is quite frank.

...After all, he and Ming Jingnan are still friends, and there is no further relationship. The lady in front of him is just a friend's mother at this time, not a mother-in-law or other awe-inspiring identity.

Feeling that the time is almost right, Chi Jingyuan smiled and walked forward. At the same time, he took off his mask, bowed slightly and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, auntie."

The smile is sunny, the etiquette is in place, and the soft facial features make people friendly.

"..."

When Ming Jingnan's mother saw Chi Jingyuan take off his mask, she nodded secretly in her heart. When she saw his face, her eyes lit up slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized that she heard the familiar hometown dialect. She looked over with some surprise: "... Can this person speak Japanese?"

"..."

Ming Jingnan, who had been smiling all the time, leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered something. After seeing her mother nod, she looked at Chi Jingyuan, smiled with her lips pursed, and then amplified her voice. She didn't stick to her mother's shoulder anymore, and stood up and took the initiative to introduce: "This is Chi Jingyuan, I know him, um... good friend, I was thirsty just now, let's go out to buy some drinks."

As she said, she shook the half-drunk Coca-Cola in her hand, and then put her head on her mother's shoulder, smiling very beautifully.

As she said that, she smiled at the person beside her: "This is my mother, she just came from Neon today."

When she and Chi Jingyuan met her mother just now, she was indeed stiff and obviously a little nervous, as if she was caught having an affair on the spot... But she soon relaxed, and her heart was more filled with joy and excitement at seeing her relatives, and the previous nervousness quickly turned into a feeling of embarrassment.

Mingjing Nan has always had a very good relationship with her family, especially with her mother. When she first came to be a trainee, her mother fully supported her so that she could be happy and fulfill her dream. She had to fly over from Neon to take care of her, and Najing Nan also said everything to her. The relationship between mother and daughter was very close, so she didn't think it was a big deal.

...Even if it’s a boy you like, if it’s a mother, there’s nothing wrong with saying it.

"Hello……"

After Mingjing Nan's introduction, her mother showed a gentle smile and nodded towards Chi Jingyuan. After a few glances, she felt that this face was somewhat familiar.

Her eyes flickered, as if she had remembered something, and her smile suddenly became brighter, with a touch of kindness: "...We met again, what a coincidence."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded, and stood aside without saying anything. Although the etiquette was in place, he seemed a bit low-key.

Experience tells him that he doesn't need to say too much now, and he doesn't need to express himself too much when they meet for the first time, even if the other person may find him quite pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, and he is not suitable as an outsider to join in the fun. Just an introduction is enough.

I just don’t know if the ‘what a coincidence’ this lady meant was that we just met once in the lounge, or if we met in the elevator two years ago.

It's probably not the latter, it's been so long...

"Jingyuan's neon language sounds really good. Daily conversations should be no problem..."

"No problem, because I have studied systematically with the teacher before."

"That's great... Do you and Mina usually talk in Japanese in private?"

"Sometimes..."

"Are you also a JYP artist now..."

After a brief exchange of greetings with the daughter, Mingjing's mother's attention turned to Chi Jingyuan next to her. She smiled and took the initiative to chat with him in an extremely gentle manner. She was just making insinuations, and there was no lack of inquiring about the news. .

"Kasan, go back first..."

At this time, Najing Nan took the initiative to pull her, interrupting her mother's rising interest.

return

This place is at a connection point, and there are a lot of staff coming and going, so it is not very suitable for staying. After a brief exchange, the three of us started walking back.

Mingjing's mother seemed to sense her daughter's thoughts, and smiled at Chi Jingyuan and said nothing more. Mingjing Nan held her mother's arm and talked happily, while Chi Jingyuan followed behind.

"Why are you here, Kassan?"

"Didn't you text just now that you were done? I came in to look for you but your assistant said you weren't here..." As she said that, she glanced at Chi Jingyuan beside her casually: "I happened to bump into you when I came out. ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a drink?"

Mingjing Nan did not avoid Chi Jingyuan. She was coquettishly coquettish with her mother. This was the first time Chi Jingyuan saw her speaking in this tone... I always felt that this mode of getting along with mother and daughter seemed to be... Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

"You've already become an artist, why do you still drink Coke every day?"

"Hey, mom, do you want to drink?"

"..."

The mother and daughter were whispering, but Chi Jingyuan couldn't get in a word. After a while, they came to a fork in the road, and he said goodbye with a smile: "Auntie, I'll take my leave now."

His lounge is not in the same place as Twice's artist lounge, and it's on a different road, so it's most appropriate to leave here.

"Okay." Najing Xinzi nodded.

She didn't react when she first saw Chi Jingyuan, but she felt slightly familiar.

But noticing her daughter's unusual reaction, her daughter-in-law Mo Ruomu immediately understood. Then she looked at Chi Jingyuan carefully. A boy with this face and temperament is not something you can usually meet. As long as he Having seen it, I should be very impressed.

Still looking back from the results, the past memories suddenly came back to her. She remembered that they had indeed met once in a shopping mall. That time they seemed to have met while taking their daughter to dinner...

But she also remembered that her daughter seemed to have a crush on her at that time...

She didn't expect that after such a long time, there would actually be development... Although she didn't know the specific relationship yet, she could tell that these two were obviously not ordinary friends.

Seeing the boy in front of her who was handsome, polite, and made a good first impression, she smiled and nodded.

The situation was not right now, and it was inconvenient to talk about many words and questions. Moreover, she did not understand the situation, so she left a special message: "Jingyuan, you go and do your work first. We will talk next time when we have a chance."

Next to him, Mingjing Nan narrowed his eyes and smiled beautifully at Chi Jingyuan, gently waved goodbye, and raised a Coke, which seemed to be hinting at something.

Chi Jingyuan smiled and was about to leave. Even though he was calm in his heart, and this aunt had an elegant temperament, easy-going tone and politeness, which showed her extraordinary tutoring and gave people a good feeling, but to be honest, she stood with the mother of a girl who was close to her. Together, it’s quite stressful.

But at this moment, a burst of light footsteps suddenly came from the source, which was not too far away. It was in front of them in an instant, and then stopped suddenly.

Looking up, Zhou Ziyu was standing not far away.

Her black hair was draped over her shoulders, she was wearing sports jeans, her short face was still so innocent, and her big round eyes were just staring at this side, her expression and body seemed to be a little stiff.

Seeing the youngest member she met by chance, Ming Jingnan, who was smiling just now, paused, and a sense of grandeur and even a little panicked in her heart... This was a feeling she had not had when she met her mother with Chi Jingyuan just now.

Since she met Chi Jingyuan, she never took the initiative to tell others. Every time she had time to play games together, she would choose when there was no one around. When the members talked about Chi Jingyuan in private, she rarely participated, but just stood aside quietly, except for Minato Saka.

The reason for this was mainly because she didn't want to make this matter public. This secret and ambiguous relationship made her enjoy it and had a special mood.

At the same time, she was actually avoiding someone, a member who had known Ji Jingyuan for a long time and whose relationship was obviously far more than that of an ordinary friend...

And it was normal to meet anyone backstage at this JYP family concert. She could just smile and brush past other people...but she didn't expect to meet the person she had been avoiding.

I don't know if it was bad luck or if it was written like that. .

"Tzuyu~"

She was nervous and her thoughts were flying, but she didn't panic. Mingjing Nan smiled quickly, her eyes curved, and waved to Zhou Ziyu very naturally, as if it was just a greeting between ordinary members, as if Ji Jingyuan next to her didn't exist at all: "Why did you come out."

Zhou Ziyu felt extremely confused at this time. She just came out to use the bathroom, but she didn't expect to meet her own sister who had just come out, and her mother...The most important thing was that he was also there, and it was obvious that the three of them were in the same group.

What are they doing...

For some reason, she instantly thought of the game console she saw at the bedside of this sister two days ago...

Her eyes swept back and forth between the faces of the people in front of her, and then stopped at Chi Jingyuan next to her...but she found that his expression was natural, he looked up and pursed his lips at her, as if he didn't feel anything wrong.

Just when she was a little anxious and confused, Zhou Ziyu, who was suddenly called, came back to her senses and stammered: "Ah, I'm going to the bathroom..."

After saying that, she seemed to have reacted a little, took the initiative to come over, forced a smile and greeted: "Hello, Auntie~"

Obviously, she had met Ming Jingnan's family, and Mina's mother also greeted Zhou Ziyu enthusiastically and pulled her to chat.

Chi Jingyuan, who was about to leave, stopped for a while, leaning against the wall, his eyes wandering on Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu's faces, especially through the change in Ming Jingnan's tone just now, he seemed to have noticed something from it.

Although Zhou Ziyu was talking to Mingjing's mother, her eyes would occasionally drift over, as if they could speak, but her bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.

"Then I'll leave first."

Chi Jingyuan looked at her twice, but didn't communicate much. He just repeated his farewell just now, smiled and greeted her, and then turned and left, leaving Mina's mother and two teammates with smiles on their faces but with their own thoughts.

But when he returned to the lounge and chatted with his second brother casually, he took out his mobile phone and put it aside.

Sure enough, about five minutes later, the originally quiet mobile phone suddenly vibrated, and the expected text message came. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the sender, sighed in his heart, and walked out again.

It was still the same place as before, but Mingjing Nan and her daughter had left, leaving a beautiful little girl wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with white letters and denim shorts standing against the wall, with her legs together and her feet turned inward.

Although the girl is pretty, her expression is not pretty. She clenched her hands in front of her, staring blankly at the front, and her mouth was pursed. It was obvious that she was not in a good mood.

A lot of people had just passed by, and she didn't react to the footsteps. But at this time, Chi Jingyuan had just approached, and I don't know how she heard it, Zhou Ziyu raised her head and looked over.

Then her cheeks puffed up and wrinkled her nose.

I'm a little tired from writing these two days, and I'm a little stuck.

I think I'll have to take a day off tomorrow
