Chapter 812 Repaying kindness with hatred
"You are his girlfriend, he will only agree if you say so~"

Minatozaki Sana giggled and gently hugged Naito Minami.

"..." It was obvious that Ming Jingnan liked to hear this. He observed the situation around him first, and was no longer shy as before. Instead, he licked the corner of his mouth happily, nodded, and whispered: "I'll talk to him when he gets back to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you..." Minatozaki Sana nodded, then she thought of something and added with a serious expression: "But I still have to find a chance to thank Jingyuan Oppa in person, after all..."

She pursed her lips, and when she saw Ming Jingnan smile and nod, she didn't say anything more. She took her things and left quickly. Halfway through, she stopped, turned around, and waved to the little sisters.

Then she said hello to her agent and walked out quickly with him. Where no one could see, the smile on her face quickly disappeared and she bit her lips as if she was struggling with something.

In fact, after exchanging contact information during the production of "Cheer Up", Minatozaki Sana would occasionally take the initiative to chat with Chi Jingyuan. After all, he is a top-level senior oppa, with a look that suits her taste and an obvious background. Minatozaki Sana, who is good at socializing, would certainly not miss such connections and opportunities.

It's interesting to just chat with a handsome guy, okay... Besides, Chi Jingyuan is a very interesting person.

But it was just normal communication between friends and even seniors and juniors, and it was very restrained.

But after knowing that Mingjing Nan and Chi Jingyuan were together, Minatozaki Sana took the initiative to reduce the communication with Chi Jingyuan because she was very concerned about Mingjing Nan's feelings, and it was also a small way to avoid suspicion.

Now that she suddenly had a special need, she felt a little conflicted and hesitant.

…………

A few hours later, Chi Jingyuan's examination at the hospital was about to come to an end.

"When I encountered it just now, I tried to move around a bit, and there was obviously nothing wrong with me."

"This kind of bruise may not seem like a big deal at first, and the pain may not be obvious, but it will swell up very quickly afterwards... You have been dancing for so many years, you should be very clear about it."

"Ha ha……"

Faced with the professor's questions, Chi Jingyuan put on his clothes and smiled awkwardly.

This kind of injury is common when dancing, so of course he knows it...but the stage is about to start, what can he do.

"Jingyuan, you're lucky this time. Although it looks like a large area of ​​bruises, the bones are fine... Go back and take the medicine on time, both externally and internally, and it will be almost healed in one to two weeks."

As he spoke, the professor gave a special reminder: "By the way, don't do strenuous exercise in the first few days, especially don't dance. Try again after you have recovered a little."

This kind of minor injury actually doesn't require the treatment of a professor of his level, and any licensed doctor can treat it... But Chi Jingyuan basically goes to him for treatment whenever he has a similar injury, and he has long been used to it.

"Got it, thank you professor."

Chi Jingyuan stood up and thanked him sincerely. After seeing the patient, he did not leave immediately. He stayed and exchanged a few words with the professor. Ten minutes later, he left the hospital with his assistant.

"boom."

The car door closed with a muffled sound, and Chi Jingyuan got into the nanny car. He gently moved his right arm, which had been coated with medicine, and felt the stinging pain. Although his expression was a little painful, his mood inevitably improved.

It was pretty much the same as he had expected at the beginning. Fortunately, there was no serious injury. He had long been accustomed to this kind of injury. A few days of rest would be enough... Anyway, there were no stage performances in the next two days. However, the rehearsal and MV shooting for the advertising song would be carried out soon. He would have to arrange the time depending on his recovery.

"Jingyuan, I'm glad you're okay..."

Cui Zhichang, the assistant in the driver's seat, also put down his phone at this time. He had just finished communicating with SM and responded to Chi Jingyuan's injury immediately.

Looking back, he was quite relieved. After relaxing, he joked, "It's really lucky that such a big person fell on me from such a high place and only left some injuries... Jingyuan's female idol shouldn't be heavy, right?"

"Weight?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about it. He had no idea about Minatozaki Sana's weight, but he had the impression that this girl used to have a chubby face and her legs were not very thin.

He denied his assistant's statement and clicked his tongue: "It should be quite heavy. I think it's about 120 kilograms."

"Haha, how can a female idol be so heavy? I think Sana xi is pretty slim too."

During the conversation, Cui Zhichang started the car and asked, "The company asked us to go back... Jingyuan, do you have anything else to say?"

"No more, brother, just drive back to the company."

"Ok."

The car started and drove out of the hospital, and drove into the bustling main road under the caress of the moonlight. Noticing the night and the hustle and bustle outside, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to check the time.

It's almost ten o'clock at night.

I was checking my condition and didn't look at my phone much. When I unlocked my phone, all kinds of unread text messages popped up. I took a quick look and saw that there were more than a dozen unread messages.
Because the reason for Ji Jingyuan's injury has not been made public, the members of EXO don't know it yet. Only the captain Kim Junmyeon sent a text message and @ed him a few times in the chat group to show his concern about the situation. The rest were all sent by members of Twice.

Maybe because the person who was saved was Minatozaki Sana, the other members were probably very grateful to Ji Kyung-won. Basically, most of the members sent text messages to ask about him, and even Lim Nayeon pretended to ask about his injuries.

As for Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu, they posted several messages, especially Ming Jingnan, who sent five or six messages in total. It can be seen that this girl is really worried and concerned about her boyfriend.

However, I didn't see the text message from Minatozaki Sana...

Chi Jingyuan flipped through the dozen or so text messages and did not reply directly. Instead, he read the text messages sent by Ming Jingnan again.

"I heard that you were injured, Gen-chan. Where were you injured? Is it serious?"

"..."

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"(Penguin pouts)"

"Yuan-chan, if you see this, please reply to me quickly."

After browsing back and forth several times, Chi Jingyuan blinked and felt the obvious impatience and concern of his girlfriend. It was really useful. The image of Ming Jingnan frowning and holding the phone anxiously waiting appeared in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a little emotional and suddenly wanted to hear her voice.

After thinking for a while, Chi Jingyuan replied: "Do you have time now?"

……

At this time, a group of members gathered in the living room of Twice dormitory. Minatozaki Sana, who had just returned from the hospital not long ago, was being asked by others about her injuries and the whole story of today's accident. After omitting the various twists and turns in the middle and the incident involving Ji Jingyuan, she also picked out some things that could be said and did not need to be kept secret to tell other members.

But after removing these wonderful parts, the overall story becomes a little bland...

Ming Jingnan sat quietly listening, but his mind was not entirely focused here. He kept holding the mobile phone in his hand and glanced at it every once in a while. His lower lip unconsciously curled up, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Just when she finished reading and raised her head to continue listening, her hand suddenly shook. Ming Jingnan's heart moved, and she lowered her head to take a look. When she saw the text on the message, her eyebrows raised.
However, she did not leave immediately. She put down her phone without leaving a trace and did not reply. She sat there with her legs crossed for a few minutes. Then, after saying something casually, she walked into the room and closed the door gently.

No one else paid attention...only Minatozaki Sana obviously noticed something, and when she stood up to leave, she glanced at him casually.

Walking straight to the balcony, Ming Jingnan called Chi Jingyuan directly: "Hello~"

"What took you so long?" Chi Jingyuan's deliberately dull voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mo Xi Mo Xi!"

She knew her boyfriend's character very well and knew that he was being childish again. However, she didn't get a clear answer at this time and she didn't have time to play around with Chi Jingyuan. With a little complaint, she asked quickly: "Why did you reply to me so late...Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? Is the injury serious?"

"I was in the hospital the whole time and didn't see it... I just came out of the hospital and I sent it back to you directly."

Chi Jingyuan leaned back in the back seat, and felt better after hearing Ming Jingnan's familiar voice... and Cui Zhichang, who was driving, immediately understood something when he heard his tone and instantly turned into a quiet driving tool.

"Have you finished the examination? What's going on?"

"It's nothing serious, just can't do strenuous exercise for a few days...but there is really a large purple bruise, it's super scary, do you want to see it?" Chi Jingyuan said simply, his tone was relatively relaxed.

He listened to her rapid breathing and her obviously anxious tone on the phone, and whispered, "Are you worried about me?"

"Of course! It's been so long, can you please take the time to reply?"

I don’t know how many times I have looked at my phone during this period. Ming Jingnan complained very dissatisfiedly, then was silent for a second, and then said firmly: "I want to see it!"

As he said that, Ming Jingnan couldn't help but mutter, "How could we be so unlucky that something like this happened suddenly, to you and Sana too... Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

At the end, she sighed as if relieved, and her soft voice came through the receiver clearly. Her little appearance made people feel touched.

"I'll send you some photos later..."

Chi Jingyuan responded at first, then his tone changed, and he spoke seriously about the situation at that time: "Actually, I didn't want to pick her up at first, but then I looked up and recognized it was Sana, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to be a good friend of my girlfriend, so I reached out to pick her up, and ended up taking her to the hospital... If it was someone else, I wouldn't have cared at all."

He blamed her with a sense of grievance: "So it's all your fault!"

"really?"

Listening to Chi Jingyuan's serious nonsense, Ming Jingnan's long-held worry was relieved. His eyes curved with joy, and after laughing twice, he snorted crisply: "Liar!"

"real!"

"Liar is a puppy!"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything... puppies are not cute at all."

"Why do you say that..."

After knowing that Chi Jingyuan was fine, Ming Jingnan also became much more relaxed. After chatting for a while, he remembered something: "Well, I was sitting next to the members just now, and my phone suddenly vibrated and scared me... Why did you call me suddenly?"

"Because I suddenly miss you so much."

Chi Jingyuan glanced out the window, looking at the colorful lights and reflections flying by, and said the truth in a gentle voice: "I don't know why, but I suddenly missed you a lot after leaving the hospital."

At this point, he suddenly had an idea and asked with suppressed excitement, "Do you want me to come see you now?"

Ming Jingnan on the phone suddenly became quiet, his breathing became a little rapid.

Chi Jingyuan seldom said such straightforward love words. Usually, whenever she was emotional, he would say some love words, but Chi Jingyuan would remain calm. Unexpectedly, he suddenly hit her with a straight word that made her feel hot all over.

She was very happy in her heart, but she looked back at the direction of the living room blocked by the curtains, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "No... I can't go out now."

Her tone sounded slightly guilty, and she seemed to be blaming herself a little.

"It's okay, maybe next time."

Although he felt a little itchy in his heart, Chi Jingyuan certainly would not force his girlfriend.

"it is good!"

Mingjing Nan responded softly and became quiet, as if she was recalling the love words just now. Chi Jingyuan also looked at the street scene outside the window, opened the window a little, let the cool night breeze blow on his face, and felt the lingering echo of this tacit understanding.

After two minutes, she suddenly remembered what her sister had told her, and quickly said, "By the way, Sana said she wanted to treat you to a meal to express her gratitude, after all, you helped her so much today... She also asked me to come along."

"Thanks, it's what I should do, but..." Chi Jingyuan was not surprised to hear that, but after thinking about it, his tone was a little reluctant: "But just say it, forget about the meal."

"Why?"

"I only have one day off next week, and you happen to be free too, but didn't we agree to go together that day?... What's the point of her coming along?"

Chi Jingyuan complained somewhat unhappily...When they were texting a few days ago, they found out that they were both free one day next week, so they just agreed to go out on a date that day. Chi Jingyuan even asked someone to clean up the apartment. Who would be willing to go to a thank-you dinner with Minatozaki Sana?
"It's just a meal..."

Mingjing Nan immediately understood the hint and purpose of her boyfriend's words. Her heart was warmed and her face turned red. She mumbled in embarrassment, and finally whispered shyly: "It's not like she will always follow me..."

"I should have known not to pick her up earlier. She's repaying kindness with hatred!"

“I hate it…”

…………

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan leaned back in his chair and looked at the roof of the car, not knowing what he was thinking. Then the corner of his mouth raised and he suddenly laughed.

He sat up and picked up his phone, flipped through a few photos he had just taken in the hospital and sent them to Ming Jingnan, then prepared to reply to the text messages to the people who were concerned about his injuries.

Just as he started typing, Chi Jingyuan suddenly shivered and reached out to close the window... The temperature has dropped quite a bit recently, and his head hurts a bit from being exposed to the wind for too long.

Just at this moment, a ringing sound came from the front. Cui Zhichang's cell phone rang. He slowed down and picked it up directly.

After hanging up the phone two minutes later, he drove while relaying the content of the call: "Jingyuan, the company called. Several live shots of EXO's DMC stage tonight have been released. The company just found that there are a lot of black fans in your live shots and forums constantly spreading the news that you were slacking off on stage... Now it seems that the heat is getting higher and higher."

"Seunghwan asked you to take a quick look and then talk to them about whether to suppress it or what to do."

"Oh?"

Chi Jingyuan paused when he heard this, and looked at Cui Zhichang with a strange expression. Then everything on the screen started to log into the forum, and he sneered helplessly: "So fast?"

He is very clear about how he performed on the three stages today. Although his expression management is a template for all idols and scored full marks, his right-hand movements throughout the whole process were not up to standard, and each choreography was just casually done, which really looked like he was just slacking off to people who didn't know the situation.

He is very aware of his popularity, and all the live shots of his public performances will be uploaded by fans as soon as possible, so Chi Jingyuan had anticipated that something like this might happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

How many hours has it been?

Chi Jingyuan went to the forum and browsed around. Sure enough, he soon saw the messages that Cui Zhichang mentioned:

"Yuan, isn't this just paddling? His right hand barely moved at all the whole time, right? It was like this from the beginning to the end of DOPE... I don't know how those fans who went to the scene for him felt. If it were me, I would definitely be disappointed."

"Disappointed? The people upstairs can hardly hold back their laughter now, right?"

"Isn't it obvious at a glance whether he's paddling or not? In the iconic eye-covering part of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Yuan didn't even raise his right hand, but just placed it on his chest. Isn't that obvious enough?"

"Are the haters really too impatient? They just kept shouting 'it's not worth it' when they didn't do a few moves properly? Look at how much effort Oppa put in on stage today and how much sweat he shed. It's just that his right hand probably felt a little uncomfortable... The haters have been holding it in for too long and finally found something. Are we going to set off firecrackers to celebrate tonight?"

"As an idol, are you so perfunctory about your performance on stage? It seems that you have forgotten your original intention after becoming popular."

“@GD, someone is calling you.”

"These new generation idols are really not talented enough, and they are not dedicated at all... Look at the second generation groups we used to have. Over the years, we have rarely heard of any news about them slacking off."

"Idiot, you thought you had never heard of it before because you didn't have straight-shots before, and your various filming techniques weren't up to par... And aren't most of your Five Poison Sticks' stages just about sticking your head up there and then raising your arms to clap and roar? Is it really necessary to slack off on something so simple? My grandma could do it."

Various messages and posts are intertwined. Many of the posts have a purpose, but some seem to be passers-by attracted by the topic. However, EXO fans are certainly not pushovers. They are very powerful in defending and refuting, and spare no effort to whitewash Chi Jingyuan. They can be seen under every post.

However, the popularity of the topic of 'Yuan paddling' was visibly increasing rapidly. In just a short while, Chi Jingyuan saw several new posts that had just been published.

If you just read most of them, you can feel the strong smell of anti-fans between the lines... Chi Jingyuan is too familiar with this. If he hadn't done a good deed today, he would have suspected that one of them might have been sent by Lin Nayeon.

As an Ellie I saw before said: The haters have been holding it in for too long.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what they happily said about him "slacking off" on stage, because if physical factors were not taken into account, his movements on the stage today were indeed not up to standard, in other words, he was just slacking off.

"Jingyuan, what do you say?"

After waiting for a while, Cui Zhichang in front asked again: "Many people have asked about this under the official account, and this topic is getting more and more popular. Does the company need to suppress it?"

"Well...brother, tell the company."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the phone and pondered for a while, shook his head, and said slowly: "Don't respond yet... and don't suppress the heat."

"Ah? Do nothing?" Cui Zhichang was a little surprised when he heard that.

If he responds, he will most likely have to make today's events public. However, if this kind of thing is made public, it will not be good for MBC or Sana Minatozaki. It will only allow him to gain a reputation of being "helpful" and "dedicated" for performing with injuries.

But to be honest these things didn't help him much.

If it was dug out by the fans themselves, it would be icing on the cake. However, if they revealed it themselves, it would not be appropriate and would be a disservice.

The second reason is because...

"Artists, it's not enough for fans to just keep praising you. You need people to praise you and people to criticize you. Only by pulling each other together can you gain popularity."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged and smiled as he liked a post that he had seen that was slandering him:
"If we just brag about it, the image will be too boring. It's not good to be too great and glorious..."

…………

After finishing the call, Ming Jingnan did not go back to the living room directly. She half-lay on her bed, hugging a fragrant pillow, recalling the flirting with her boyfriend just now, as well as the embarrassing topics they talked about. She could not help but cover her face with the pillow and rolled back and forth on the bed, from left to right, and then from right to left. The bed made a creaking sound under her torture, mixed with a hint of joyful laughter that she tried hard to hold back but still accidentally revealed.

In the end, she sat on the bed with her feet in the air, flapping and kicking her legs non-stop, leaving two afterimages of her little feet in the air, just like a penguin that fell down and couldn't get up and struggle... Whenever she got excited, she couldn't help kicking her feet.

At this moment, the phone vibrated. Ming Jingnan quickly picked it up and saw that it was Chi Jingyuan who sent a few photos of his right arm as agreed.

Looking at the scary large purple bruises on her boyfriend's shoulder and right hand, even though she knew it was nothing serious, she still pursed her lips in distress. She frowned and read it carefully, then pouted her lips and carefully wrote a few text messages like "Be careful".

Then she got up from the bed and went back to the living room... There were still a lot of people in the living room at this time, but Minatozaki Sana's story seemed to have been finished, and now the speaker became Lim Nayeon. This sister seemed to have watched a bloody romance drama that she liked recently, and now she was dancing and introducing the touching plot in the drama to others.

Mingjing Nan looked around, then walked over and sat next to Minatozaki Sana. Facing the curious eyes of the little sister, she lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "He replied to me. The injury is not light, but there are no broken bones..."

"I also told him about the meal..."

After hearing the news she wanted to know the most, Minatozaki Sana nodded to indicate that she understood. Many people around her didn't say anything more, but just smiled at Mingjing Nan, then stuck close to her and continued watching Lim Nayeon's performance.

As she watched, her attention unconsciously focused on the little sister beside her...

She had a happy face, licked her lips from time to time, hummed a vague melody, and her feet were raised on the crossed legs... All these habitual movements showed that Mingjing Nan was in a very good mood at the moment, and Minatozaki Sana, who knew her very well, of course understood that she must have just had a phone call with Chi Jingyuan.

If it were yesterday, she would have been happy for her little sister, then acted helpless and complained about her love-brained thinking when facing Chi Jingyuan, and finally asked about what happened out of curiosity and gossip.

However, now... there are some small changes.

Feeling the lightness and happiness coming from the fragrant body beside her, Minatozaki Sana unknowingly began to become absent-minded.

Finally, when Sister Lian was thirsty and had nothing to do, everyone began to disperse and prepare to wash up. Minatozaki Sana returned to her room, sat on the bed, looking at the mobile phone between her fingers, feeling a little confused and hesitant.

Whether it was falling from the elevator or being forced to apologize, all the scenes today were deeply engraved in her mind.

In these two experiences that allowed her to grow sufficiently, Chi Jingyuan participated in both of them, and they were like a ray of light, shining into her originally dark heart.

It can be said to be bright, and it can be said to be profound.

Of course, she felt that she naturally developed a complex emotion towards her senior, Chi Jingyuan. It might be gratitude, dependence, love, or something else...

When she noticed this emotion and questioned herself about her feelings, Minatozaki Sana was very frank... Just about what happened today, just about the way he redeemed me today, and the words he said, let alone me, it would be the same if it were anyone of you.

But Ji Jingyuan is a good sister. Minatozaki Sana, the boyfriend of Minami Nai, knows very well how much affection Minami Nai has poured into this oppa and how much she likes him.

When she thought of this, she felt extremely uncomfortable and had a strong sense of betrayal.

She has her own bottom line, and it is impossible for her to do such disgusting thing as stealing her best friend's boyfriend... She may like someone, but no one is indispensable. There are many things in life that are worth devoting and investing in, such as career, friends, and family. No one can live without a man.

...But in her opinion, Mingjingnan seems to really have a tendency to develop in this direction.

amount……

She has returned to her senses, and she is very career-oriented, ranking at the top of the entire group. She knows very well what she needs and what she doesn't need at this stage.

No matter what, I will never do anything to let my good sister down!
Minatozaki Sana bit her lip and roared in her heart to spur and urge herself on.

But as she looked at the names in her phone's address book, various fresh scenes from today kept appearing before her eyes, and there was another voice in her heart, not too loud but not too small.

But, there shouldn't be any problem if we get a little closer, right?

After all, it was like this before...

"Oppa, have you finished the checkup at the hospital? Are you okay?"

　April is coming! I wish all my friends good health!

　　Take a day off tomorrow
