Chapter 893 What to do

"...or hot drink..."

Seeing Pei Zhuxuan and the other two walking in, Ji Jingyuan paused, felt bitter in his heart, and was speechless for a moment.

Is this drink shop so popular? Why are all of them here?
While Bae Joo-hyun was warmly recommending hot drinks to her sisters, they walked into the beverage shop with smiles on their faces. They immediately saw Chi Jingyuan and others in front of them and stopped immediately.

The young lady walking in front was the most surprised. Her eyes naturally focused on the drink that Chi Jingyuan was handing to Ming Jingnan. She was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face became stiff.

"Onie~"

"Senior Aniha Saiyo~"

However, because of the presence of Lin Yuner, after a brief moment of shock, Bae Zhuxuan still managed her expression and greeted Lin Yuner with the other two people first, and Mingjingnan and several Twice members also hurriedly followed suit... No matter what, with so many people around, they still had to maintain politeness on the surface.

But then, several people looked at each other...or rather, Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan looked at Mingjingnan, and the three girls from Twice looked at Bae Joo-hyun.

They have been separated for almost half a year, and through clues from the last contact, Bae Joo-hyun actually knows that Ji Kyung-won has a new partner. Although she feels empty, uncomfortable and lost inside, she doesn't blame him because she understands him... She is more of a complainer and self-pity.

...At the same time, I still regret the choice and decision I made at that time, and because of some recent events, I can't help but have some other emotions and thoughts in my heart.

But she had always guessed that it was Chou Tzuyu... this black girl who has been haunting Chi Jingyuan since 13, who looks like a good girl but she can see at a glance that she has ulterior motives, took over her job. She never expected that it was the MIna in Twice, Minami, who she always thought was not very eye-catching.

And she hadn't expected to see his new girlfriend here today.

...She knew Chi Jingyuan very well. Not to mention the familiar drink, just from his intimate actions, Pei Zhuxuan understood everything in an instant.

But after she understood it, her heart sank, and then became uncontrollably confused. She didn't know what she should do... She had never encountered such a situation, which she had only seen in TV dramas.

Should I rush up to her, grab her hair, slap her in the face, and teach this disgusting thief who took advantage of others a lesson?
It's impossible. Not to mention whether she can do it or not, Chi Jingyuan and Lin Yoona are right next to her. Doing this will do nothing but make people hate her and look inferior.

...The most important thing is that as an ex-girlfriend, she doesn't have the position to do so.

Or should I be more polite, cross my arms across my chest, be reserved and arrogant, and taunt her with a nonchalant look on my face: "These are things I've played with before, and I don't want them anymore, so I'm giving them to you. Keep them"?
It's impossible. Saying these words in front of Chi Jingyuan is simply destroying one's own life.

Moreover, her acting skills could not support such a vivid performance. Instead, people could see through her fragile heart that would break at the slightest touch... Even after so much time, even though it was the other party's fault at the beginning, her love for Chi Jingyuan had not diminished at all.

Should I just pretend nothing happened, just smile, say hello and then pass by?

Reason told her that this was the best choice, but Bae Joo-hyun was somewhat reluctant... Although she was an ex-girlfriend, she still took the initiative to withdraw, but why was it that the more she thought about it and saw Ming Jingnan's face, the more uncomfortable and angry she felt.

And...what is Chi Jingyuan's attitude?
Son Chaeyoung and Minatozaki Sana, who were a few meters away, could not hide the surprise on their faces. They looked at Bae Joo-hyun opposite them with their mouths slightly open, and glanced at Mingjingnan with some worry... Through Yu Jeongyeon's gossip, they all knew that the beautiful Bae Joo-hyun in front of them, who was impressive and even a little stressful, was Ji Kyung-won's ex-girlfriend.

And it is said that she is not just an ex-girlfriend after a simple breakup. According to the whistleblower, the relationship between the two is quite deep and unusual.

This kind of meeting between the former and current boyfriend was somewhat unexpected for them...but no matter what, they were of course on the side of Mingjing Nan.

Ming Jingnan, who had a sweet smile on her face a few seconds ago, also quieted down at this moment. As one of the protagonists, she instantly realized the current situation. Her sweet smile gradually faded, and she still had that gentle face, but she no longer looked furtively as if she was afraid of being discovered like she did in the practice room in the afternoon.

Now facing each other, she just slightly bent her eyes and looked directly at the other person without any avoidance. Although the drink she had just taken was icy, she had no intention of putting it down, but kept holding it in her hand.

Although her appearance, personality, and even body are all soft, there are always things she will never give in to. When it comes to matters related to feelings, she is much tougher than others.

There were three people on both sides, looking at each other. Although no one spoke at all, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense. Both Bae Joo-hyun and Ming Jingnan seemed to be brewing something. At this moment, if a needle dropped randomly, it would seem that the atmosphere would explode.

As a senior, Lin Yuna's dark round eyes turned around, flashing with surprise and expectation. As a senior who was in the know, not only did she not have any intention of stopping it, but she glanced at Chi Jingyuan from time to time with a playful smile.

It's amazing to see such a wonderful scene just when buying a drink.

...My fans, what will you do?
Among all the people, only Kang Seul-ki, who was standing behind Son Seung-wan, looked left and right, then looked at Ji Kyung-won with a worried look, and kept winking at him.

I felt the gaze of my good brother Jiang Seqi. Although I didn’t know what she wanted to express, I could feel the concern and it touched my heart.

Although he was not in the confrontation, as the real protagonist, others were actually secretly observing him, and his every move was the most important.

Facing such an embarrassing situation, Chi Jingyuan actually felt a little bitter. He was inexplicably nervous when he saw Bae Joo-hyun just now.

But... he didn't panic.

Although it is embarrassing for everyone to meet the ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend, this is not the first time that Chi Jingyuan has experienced this situation... When he was in school, he encountered this kind of thing from time to time because the space was too small.

Not to mention the inherently unequal confrontation between the ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend... He has even experienced the most difficult meeting between his two current girlfriends.

Although I didn't handle it well that time...but I have learned some experience anyway.

The most important thing at this time is not to panic like a novice, not knowing what to say or which side to stand on, and then watching anxiously from the side as a spectator, allowing conflicts to arise between the two sides and the situation to escalate.

You have to know that even if they quarreled or even fought, it was all because of him, so he had an inherent advantage in his position.

And they actually have no experience, have never encountered such a thing, and don’t know what to do now. To a large extent, they are following their emotions and instincts...so they must take the initiative and seize the initiative.

Under Jiang Se-ki's worried gaze and the tense stare-in between the two groups, Chi Jingyuan suddenly took the initiative to speak, breaking the almost frozen atmosphere: "What are you looking at? Don't you know any of them? Didn't you practice together in the afternoon?"

The sudden sound was like a needle, instantly piercing the atmosphere that seemed to be a balloon that was getting bigger and bigger, and directly interrupted the spellcasting and chanting of the girls on both sides.

Although no one else spoke, the atmosphere obviously became less tense.

"I'm here to buy drinks again...Have you eaten yet?"

Then Chi Jingyuan asked again... He knew who he should find for cooperation at this time, so he looked directly at Jiang Seqi behind him.

"We just came back after finishing our meal, and Unnie said she wanted to treat us to a drink~"

Jiang Seqi responded immediately and cooperated to ease the atmosphere around them. Then she puffed up her cheeks, showed her signature silly smile and took the initiative to talk to Mingjingnan: "I just happened to run into Jingyuan and you guys, Mina xi Sana xi, you just finished your meal too."

"Unnie, Ernie."

"This is your first time here, are you eating nearby?"

"us……"

Faced with Kang Seul-ki's enthusiasm and that very deceptive smile, Nai Minami and Minatozaki Sana immediately struck up a conversation.

"Haven't you seen it before, Seungwanxi? You've been staring at this side..."

When the three of them were talking, Ji Jingyuan turned his attention to Sun Shengwan again, and said as if he was introducing them to each other if he didn't know them, pointing at Minatozaki Sana and Nai Minami, "This is Sana, and this is...Mina~"

"Ah! I told you last time at dinner not to use honorifics. Don't shout like that..."

Sun Shengwan, who was originally staring at Ming Jingnan with a frown, suddenly looked over and his attention was diverted. His anger seemed to be transferred to Chi Jingyuan at the same time. He stared at him angrily: "If you keep yelling like that, I will really be angry!"

As expected of Sun Seungwan, the cooperation is so good!
Chi Jingyuan sneered in his heart, but raised his eyebrows at her in a sly manner, which made Sun Shengwan even angrier and he screamed with his eyes wide open.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Don't bully Sheng Wan like this~..."

Pei Zhuxuan, who had been silent all this time, could not remain silent any longer. She first complained to Chi Jingyuan in a reproachful manner, then pursed her lips, tried to keep a smile on her face, pointed at Ming Jingnan in front of her, looked at him and asked softly: "Mina xi... is your... girlfriend?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone around him suddenly became quiet. Chaeyoung, Sana Minatozaki, and Seungwan all looked over.

No matter how the two girls fight openly or secretly, the most important thing is Chi Jingyuan's position... If he is vague and unclear, Ming Jingnan will instantly become a clown.

At this moment, Ming Jingnan's heart suddenly tightened, and he turned his head hesitantly to look at Chi Jingyuan.

She was also worried about what her boyfriend would say. She also felt that this ex-girlfriend in front of her was not simple, and she felt a little uneasy...

But before she could look over, less than a second after Bae Joo-hyun's voice fell, Chi Jingyuan's voice followed closely, coming over without any hesitation.

"Yup!"

He nodded without any intention of hiding anything, and naturally nodded towards Mingnan.

Chi Jingyuan's experience told him that when it comes to things like the Shura Field between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend, he should deal with them differently depending on the situation.

But the most important point is...if you don't care about your current girlfriend's feelings at all, but are quite satisfied with her and have no intention of breaking up or dumping her, you must make your position clear.

No matter how much feelings you still have, no matter how many other ideas you have, your ex is still your ex after all, and the girl who is with you now is you, so no matter what, you must give her enough face at this time, without any ambiguity or hesitation.

...For most girlfriends nowadays, everything else can be forgiven, but this is the only thing they care about the most.

"We've been dating for a while..."

As Chi Jingyuan spoke, he reached out and gently pried open Xiaonan's fingers, and placed the drink she was still holding on the table, while complaining: "Your hands are frozen and stiff, but you're still holding it and won't put it down. Are you a pabo..."

Sure enough, when Chi Jingyuan touched Ming Jingnan's fingers, the girl trembled suddenly, and then her whole body seemed to soften, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him suddenly became rippling. It seemed that if they were in another place, she would have pounced on him with her whole body.

Son Chaeyoung and Minatozaki Sana in the back looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement and surprise.

But that side was happy, and when Pei Zhuxuan heard Chi Jingyuan's answer, the gentle smile that she had deliberately maintained before was obviously unable to be maintained, and the whole person seemed to pause.

But she still tried to maintain her smile and forcefully defend her self-esteem... No matter what, she didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of Ming Jingnan.

Even on the surface.

She pursed her lips reflexively, and then showed a smile that became even brighter and more beautiful. She looked at him with her neck stiffened, with an expression that congratulated him: "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

There was even some blame in her tone, and it sounded like a complaint between old friends.

But unexpectedly, facing Pei Zhuxuan, who seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind at any time and whose momentum suddenly weakened, Chi Jingyuan did not comfort her at all, but complained.
"Hey, I called you so many times and sent you so many text messages, and you didn't even reply once, and you're blaming me? We're just strangers now that we're apart, right? You're making me act like a dog... Am I that kind of person?"

Chi Jingyuan frowned, looking very angry.

But actually...he felt a little distressed and reluctant when he saw the young lady like this.

Others might not be able to see it...but Chi Jingyuan saw through the disguise that the young lady forcibly created out of her stubbornness and self-esteem at a glance.

She...is just that kind of person.

And the third point of this kind of thing...if you have no feelings or thoughts about your ex-girlfriend anymore and just treat her as a stranger, then of course it doesn't matter.

But if you still have attachment and feelings for her, or still care about her feelings, you must find a way to comfort her, at least not to embarrass her in front of her current girlfriend. You must maintain her self-esteem and give her a way out.

Chi Jingyuan looked at Pei Zhuxuan unhappily, venting his resentment: "...It was only after the traffic accident last time that I could contact you...I found that if I didn't need you, Irene xi, you wouldn't answer my calls at all. Isn't it a bit too realistic..."

As he said this, he glanced at Lin Yuner who was not far away: "Yuner Nu is not as arrogant as you."

"Forehead……"

Bae Joo-hyun paused, and the slightly deliberate smile on her face suddenly froze there.

Chi Jingyuan's tone was not very good, even sarcastic and a little aggressive, but... Pei Zhuxuan didn't seem to be angry at all after listening to it. In fact, the extremely sad and aggrieved mood just now seemed to have eased a lot for some reason, and she was not so sad at once.

Because what he said... was all true.

Although they have contacted less recently, Chi Jingyuan did send her text messages and call her frequently before, but she rarely answered the calls due to her self-esteem and the discomfort in her heart, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.

But the last time she and Kim Ye-rin had a traffic accident, when she was in the hospital in shock, Ji Jingyuan called her immediately. The nervous and concerned tone in his voice and the full of peace of mind when she heard his voice at that time are still deeply engraved in her heart...When it comes to this, Bae Joo-hyun really finds it hard to blame him.

He really has always cared and taken care of himself...

And she knew Chi Jingyuan very well... With his personality and excellence, isn't it extremely normal for him to have a new girlfriend?
The two of them had broken up a long time ago, and she was just an ex-girlfriend, and she even withdrew on her own at that time...

So...she really had no right to blame the other party.

Pei Zhuxuan's face looked much better, but she was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. In the end, she could only frown and complain like Son Shengwan just now: "It's not like what you said... and what's the point of calling me xi? Are you excited?"

"Ha ha……"

Chi Jingyuan curled his lips, seemingly noncommittal.

But when I heard the young lady's tone, I suddenly felt relieved.

Lin Yoona, who had been watching the show for a while, had her eyes flickering with surprise, but after receiving Chi Jingyuan's look, she was amazed and finally couldn't continue to be a spectator.

Senior Yoona stood up with a smile, walked over and took Bae Joo Hyun's arm, and took the initiative to greet a few people.

"Don't just stand here and make a scene... Irene, aren't you guys going to buy some drinks? We just happened to meet, unnie, please... No, let Jingyuan treat."

As she said that, she looked at Mingjing Nan and the others: "Mina, do you want to buy another cup? Or bring some up for your members?"

“No need, unnie~” Mingjingnan and the others waved their hands quickly, and at the same time they understood what Lin Yuner meant: “Then unnie, and...senior, we will leave first..."

"Okay, since we have exchanged phone numbers, we can talk privately." Lin Yoona nodded with a smile, waved goodbye, and then pulled Bae Joo-hyun and others towards the counter.

Chi Jingyuan escorted Ming Jingnan and the others to the door. He could clearly hear the voices of Lin Yuner and Bae Zhuxuan behind him:

"Irene, what would you like to drink..."

"I'd like coffee!"

"...Well, I'd rather have a hot drink..."

Hearing that the scene became much more harmonious later, Chi Jingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

A conflict that was about to break out was easily resolved by him.

Everything is under control!
Chi Jingyuan was thinking with some pride in his heart, but suddenly good fortune came to him. He seemed to sense something and turned back to look.

But he found that Lin Yoona had just turned her head and was looking at him, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Senior Yoona smiled playfully, with a playful expression and surprise in her eyes, and she raised her eyebrows slightly at him.

Then he stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up without leaving any trace.
