Chapter 870 Why

The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the slightly silent atmosphere, but after seeing the name 'Yuan-chan' on the phone screen, everyone suddenly perked up.

Although some people think this name is boring...but since the relationship between these two was exposed within the team until now, and it is mentioned from time to time, other members also know that this is the nickname that Mingjing Nan calls his boyfriend.

"Oppa Jingyuan is calling!"

After a brief silence, Sun Caiying instantly became excited. Her little hands kept pulling at Ming Jingnan's sleeves. She seemed to be much more excited than her: "Ouni, answer it! Answer it! Answer it right here!"

"Hurry up and pick it up, I'll hang up soon!"

"Let's not talk!!"

I just heard the love story of these two people, about the fireworks festival, the anniversary, and the collaboration song. Everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts, full of envy and jealousy.

Compared to Ming Jingnan, they are actually more interested in another protagonist, Chi Jingyuan, who caused all the events today.

The eyes of other members also lit up. The envy and jealousy in their hearts were temporarily suppressed. Curiosity and gossip took over. They also became excited, and followed suit with great curiosity and expectation.

When she suddenly saw her boyfriend calling her, Ming Jingnan was of course very happy because she had so many things to say because of the touching moment just now. But before she could say anything, the abnormal enthusiasm of the members next to her made her embarrassed.

Of course, she didn't want to answer the phone in front of other people, and it was inconvenient to say anything.

But, after sharing and showing off just now, feeling the gazes and looks coming from all directions...she is now a little overwhelmed.

While hesitating, looking at the vibrating phone in his hand, feeling that the vibration and ringing could stop at any time, Ming Jingnan gritted his teeth and answered the call directly.

"Xiao Nan, are you done with your work?"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the phone, the male protagonist who had ignited the envy of these young girls without even showing up, although he appeared calm on the surface, he suddenly became inexplicably excited in his heart.

...Except for Zhou Ziyu who had a pouty mouth.

Even Lin Nayeon, who had been silent for a while, felt the same way. Although she felt sad, the scene of eavesdropping on the phone call quickly ignited her deep-rooted passion and talent for joining in the fun.

"Shhh!!"

At the same time, Yu Jeongyeon and Son Chaeyoung looked at each other with bright eyes and raised their index fingers to indicate silence...

Mingjing Nan held the phone, feeling the perked-up ears and piercing gazes of the people around her. The phone call with her boyfriend, which she used to enjoy the most, became a little nervous now: "Well, I've finished practicing... just now..."

Ming Jingnan insisted on not turning on the speakerphone... Although everyone was trying to keep quiet in this environment, Chi Jingyuan's voice could be heard clearly even without turning on the speakerphone.

But just when she was about to talk about peace, something unexpected happened on the other end of the phone.

"Darlin, has your dream come true..."

"Hmm, Xiaonan, wait a minute, a work call suddenly came in..."

The Twice members who were eavesdropping nearby blinked their eyes and heard a soft music coming from the receiver. It was the background music of "Unrequited Love" and it seemed to be the ringtone of Chi Jingyuan's other phone.

Then, several people held their breath and listened intently as they heard Chi Jingyuan discussing work with someone:
"...The cover design you just gave me has a lot of problems. Although this song describes the emotions after a breakup, the main idea is that after breaking up with a girlfriend, although there is regret, but more cares about letting go of what you once had. The lyrics are a bit sad, but the melody is still relatively light, and the main theme is also more about relief and healing. Although it describes a breakup, it makes people want to fall in love after listening to it. You need to have this feeling..."

“…The version you just made looks like a painful and tragic love story where a man and a woman break up and never talk to each other again. It’s very gloomy… Did you really read the information I gave you? JYP doesn’t make songs of this outdated style anymore…”

"...Director Li, this is not a problem you need to worry about. Just follow my instructions... I'll take care of Mr. Lee Soo Man, OK?"

Hearing the voice coming from the headphones, although it was incoherent, Twice and the others roughly understood that Chi Jingyuan seemed to be discussing work with someone.

...But many people stared with their eyes wide open. Some were surprised that the voice and tone of this oppa were slightly different from what they usually heard. It was unexpectedly strong, yet full of confidence...even more profound than the memory they had when they made "Cheer Up".

"… Let's talk about it later when the meeting starts. I'm hanging up now."

After talking for two minutes, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have hung up the phone. Then a noisy voice came from Ming Jingnan's phone: "Well, that's really troublesome... Wait for me to put on headphones."

After listening quietly for a while, until Chi Jingyuan's voice became clear again, Ming Jingnan asked in a low voice, "...Yuan-chan, did you just finish the meeting?"

"Well, it's been going on since lunch, and it's been giving me a headache... Especially the producer meeting just now, those musicians were smoking the whole time, and I didn't know what to say..."

Chi Jingyuan complained a little from the other end of the line: "There's a production meeting later. I'm going to buy a drink and some food to eat...Xiao Nan, what did you say just now?"

"Well... I heard... the song 'Fireworks'." Looking at the members who were concentrating beside him, Mingjing Nan suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke intermittently.

“Oh, your company notified you?”

Chi Jingyuan laughed when he heard it, and then he seemed a little childish and proud to take credit: "Do you think it sounds good?"

When Ming Jingnan heard her boyfriend's warm and smiling voice on the phone, her nose suddenly felt sore.

In fact, she had a lot of things to say to him in her heart. She wanted to act coquettishly, say some sweet words, and even cry...but it was not easy to express these in front of other people.

She already regretted being urged to answer the phone directly.

Finally, Ming Jingnan responded with a trembling nasal voice: "Hmm... sounds good."

"That's good... a glass of orange juice, thank you..."

Chi Jingyuan seemed to have arrived at the coffee shop on the first floor of the company and started buying drinks. After a series of sporadic noises and the sound of liquid sliding through the straw, Chi Jingyuan's voice reappeared: "This song "Fireworks" is the first time I have written lyrics in Japanese. I was worried about grammatical problems and looked up a lot of information... But it's okay as long as you like it."

"…Speaking of which, your company is quite interesting."

As he was speaking, he seemed to remember something, and his tone became a little strange:
“When I first sent you the demo and proposed a cooperation invitation on behalf of the company, your company actually hesitated for a long time. Can you guess why…

I heard from Jinyoung later when I called him. He said that it seemed that because Jeongyeon’s popularity had skyrocketed due to that collaboration, it had deviated from your company’s original plan and design for Twice, plus some other reasons, so your operations team said that they would start to carefully consider the personal resources of each Twice member…”

"That is to say, your company doesn't seem to be planning to open up any personal resources to you in the near future..."

"Ah? How can it be possible this time..." Ming Jingnan was stunned when she heard that. Although she had already received the invitation to collaborate on a song, she still couldn't help feeling anxious when she heard Chi Jingyuan say that.

The other members were also shocked when they heard this and looked at each other in surprise. They had been happily listening to gossip, but when they heard the news from Chi Jingyuan, their gossiping mentality suddenly dissipated a lot and they became worried instead.

"Of course you are different. I called Brother Zhenying directly. How could he refuse..."

Chi Jingyuan said this casually on the phone, but then he clicked his tongue and complained a little:

"But to be honest, it's quite annoying to do this... I was thinking of introducing you to her during the fashion week at the beginning of next year to see if there's any chance for collaboration... Well, there's also Pabo Chou Tzu-yu..."

After hearing this, Ming Jingnan couldn't hold back his emotions any more, and didn't want others to listen to it anymore, so he stood up suddenly and ran out quickly with his cell phone in hand before the other members could react.

The other members nearby seemed to be still immersed in the last conversation with Chi Jingyuan. They just stared blankly at Ming Jingnan who rushed out of the practice room.

Then the atmosphere in the room became quiet again.

Originally, they were just shocked by the romantic love just now, and suddenly received Chi Jingyuan's call and wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation, but they didn't expect to hear an unexpected news afterwards, which made some members fall into deep thought.

Isn't it wrong to fall in love? As an idol, it is a disqualification to do so. The company is also very opposed to it, and they even signed a dating ban.

But why... Nana Naoi seems to have no impact at all after falling in love. On the contrary, she seems to be getting better and better. In terms of love, there are fireworks festivals and 100-day anniversary collaboration songs. She is so romantic that makes people jealous. And her career has not been affected at all.

What went wrong?
Some members felt that their worldview seemed to have been impacted... Especially Park Ji-hyo, who originally thought that after she reported the matter, the company would severely punish Mingjing Nan.

Noticing the subtle changes in the attitudes of other members recently, she suddenly felt that she was neither here nor there... At the same time, she also felt deeply envious, and suddenly wanted to have a relationship like Mingjing Nan.

The expressions of some other members are actually quite interesting as well... As members who spend every day together, they don't have any filters for Minami Nagai like her fans do, thinking that she is some kind of angelic beauty... As members of the same group, everyone is equal in mentality and even status.

At this time, when you see this member of the same group, who is equal to everyone else, being so sweet that people envy him, so happy that people envy him, and receiving treatment that no one else can get, it is difficult to maintain the original peace in your heart, even if the relationship is good.

Even deep in my heart, I can't help but have some dark but reasonable thoughts like "Why does she have the right?" and "Why not me?"

No one would be indifferent when seeing members who are similar to themselves, or even younger sisters, who are so enviable in every aspect.

It's like... he knows everything about what happened today, he understands everything about that song, he has witnessed and experienced almost everything that happened, except that the protagonist is not his own Sana Minatozaki.

However, these thoughts are just normal psychological instinctive reactions. Although they pop up, they will soon be buried deep in the heart under the efforts of reason.

"Jingyuan Oppa is really... amazing."

After a moment of silence, Yu Jeongyeon spoke again. She looked at the direction where Ming Jingnan left, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No wonder I heard from those sisters in the circle that many seniors like him. I really saw it this time."

"Tsk, what anniversary is this, what collaboration song is this, it's like filming a TV drama, what does he take his career and work for granted?"

"What a snot... who cares!"

Lin Nayeon next to her was not like her. She glared at Yu Jeongyeon angrily, pouted her lips and muttered softly with a very sour look, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end even she could hardly hear it clearly.

"By the way, what Jingyuan oppa said just now... was it true?" Kim Dahyun thought of the key point and asked with some concern.

"I don't know... I haven't heard of it."

"But...if it's him, the news should be accurate..."

Other member Zhou Ziyu didn't say anything. She stared at the reflective floor in front of her in a trance...

Originally, when she had been listening to Ming Jingnan pretending to talk about his love experience, she felt really uncomfortable and upset, including when she later heard their intimate tone on the phone. She could hardly bear it and could not help it.

But at the end of the phone call just now, she suddenly heard her name from Chi Jingyuan's mouth again. When she heard that he was actually thinking about introducing resources and brands to her next year, she was suddenly stunned. Her heart, which had been so depressed that she wanted to cry, seemed to be broken into a ball, as if a ray of light suddenly shone in.

It turns out that no matter whether he was in a relationship or had a girlfriend, no matter how angry she was, no matter how long she hadn't contacted him... no matter what happened, it turned out that he actually still cared about her, and she always occupied a very special place in his heart.

Hate it... Do you think this is enough? I’m not a child anymore!
Among the many girls with different thoughts, the one with the best mentality, besides Yu Jeongyeon and Kim Dahyun, is probably Son Chaeyoung. She grinned and looked in the direction where Ming Jingnan left, smacked her lips as if she was still savoring the romantic love and gossip she had just felt.

Of course, she was not stupid, and she had some fluctuations in her heart... But she was very close to Ming Jingnan and had a good relationship with him, especially towards Chi Jingyuan, and she didn't have any strange thoughts. On the contrary, it was because of Ming Jingnan that she became friendly with him, so she didn't bother to think about anything else.

Even from the perspective of her sister and friend, she thinks this couple... is really good to watch, just like watching a TV drama.

Looking left and right, secretly taking in the expressions of other members, Son Chaeyoung said nothing, just smiling as she watched.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and pulled Minatozaki Sana, who was in a daze, to talk to her. After she came to her senses, she looked at her with doubtful eyes and whispered:

“In that case…Mina-unnie won’t go with us to get a manicure later…right?”

I guess this section will end in the next chapter.
