Chapter 894 You Think

"Are you done with practice today?...Don't drink so fast, don't you feel uncomfortable with such cold water~"

Chi Jingyuan walked Ming Jingnan and the other two to the elevator and helped them press the elevator button. Before leaving, he looked at his girlfriend who was sipping a drink and asked casually.

"One day is not enough. Although everyone knows how to dance to "Meet Again", there are too many people to work with, so from today until now we have only divided the parts and rehearsed the movements. We will have to come to SM to practice again in a few days, and then we will have to practice together before the official performance."

Mingjing Nan shook her head and answered his question first, then she licked her upper lip with her tongue and smiled beautifully: "Because it tastes good~"

“It’s really delicious!”

Son Chaeyoung, who was gulping down orange juice through a straw, also chimed in with a look of agreement, saying with some regret, "It's a pity that we don't have such a delicious beverage store inside our company."

"Then just come here often. It's not far away anyway...Okay, I'm leaving now."

Smiling and winking at Son Chae-young, Ji Kyung-won reached out and gently scratched Ming Jingnan's face as a farewell, then prepared to turn around and leave.

But just after taking a step, he remembered something and turned back to tell Ming Jingnan: "By the way, I've been a bit too busy lately. I'll take you to the gym when I'm free in a few days."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Nai Minami waved her hand softly, then looked at her boyfriend with concern, "Gen-chan... take care to rest."

As the girlfriend who knows most of Chi Jingyuan's recent schedule, she knows best how busy Chi Jingyuan is recently.

"Got it...bye."

"Goodbye, Oppa"

"Bye, Oppa..."

Sun Caiying and Minatozaki Sana also hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Jingyuan, and after watching this oppa stride away, they turned and walked into the elevator that just came down.

As soon as they entered, before the door was closed, Minatozaki Sana asked curiously in a low voice: "What gym?"

Mingjing Nan pressed the floor button and then explained: "When I was talking to him on the phone before, I casually complained that the gym where I'm working out now is not very good, the equipment is not complete, there are a lot of people, and sometimes there are illegitimate fans..."

She took a sip of her drink and said with a smile, "Then Yuan-chan told me to go to his place to work out... He found a new private gym some time ago. It seems that his brother recommended it to him. It's in a high-end club and not open to the public... He said the environment is very good, the space is large and there are not many people, and the coaches are all very good female coaches. They are very professional whether it's muscle building or fat loss..."

"Besides, he knows the president there, so it's very convenient for him to do anything without having to worry about privacy or troublesome situations."

Mingjing Nan's eyes sparkled with happiness, and he gestured with his hands: "And it's in Gangnam District, very close to our company... Yuan-chan said that when he's free these few days, he'll take me to have a look, and if I think the environment is good, I can go there to work out in the future, and he'll introduce me to a coach..."

“Wow, Unnie!!”

When Sun Caiying heard this, she didn't even bother to drink her drink. She just put her arm around Ming Jingnan's waist and begged in a rather envious voice, "Is it so good? I want to go too~"

The core competitiveness of an idol is appearance and figure, so the gym is a place that all idols, regardless of gender, go to frequently, and everyone has their own fixed fitness place.

There are so many gyms in Seoul, which leads to varying quality. It also has something to do with spending power. Many idols actually have average fitness environments.

...Although the company also has a cooperative gym, the facilities and coaches are just so-so. Moreover, many idols and even trainees from the company are there. It's crowded and has many different opinions. There are also sasaeng fans from time to time, so it's not a very good environment.

Sun Caiying herself was not very satisfied with her current environment, and she immediately became envious when she heard her say that... If she could be as good as Ming Jingnan said, then going to the gym would be a real pleasure, and maybe she would have abdominal muscles soon.

"I'll talk to Yuan-chan later, it shouldn't be a problem..."

Feeling the strength on his waist, Mingjing Nan smiled and patted the second youngest member lovingly: "Sehun oppa is also over there. It was Yuan-chan who recommended him there."

"Wow, unnie is the most Zzang!"

Listening to the two people's excited discussion, which was also a topic that had been bothering her recently, Minatozaki Sana's heart suddenly moved.

She opened her mouth but seemed unable to say anything, so she paused, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Looking at the smiling and happy little sister on the left, she held the cold drink against her chest with both hands and bit her lip unconsciously.

"But, Ernie..."

Soon they arrived at their floor. The three of them walked out of the elevator and into the hallway. Thinking of what had just happened, Sun Caiying suddenly asked in a worried voice, "What Jingyuan Oppa said just now...Are you not angry?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, the smile on Ming Jingnan's face faded a little.

She knew that Sun Caiying was talking about Ji Jingyuan's remarks just now, that he had called and texted Bae Zhuxuan many times.

Because of the joyful mood just now, Ming Jingnan didn't pay much attention to what Chi Jingyuan said later... But now when he thinks about these words carefully, Ming Jingnan will certainly feel a little uncomfortable.

No girl would not be angry when she hears her boyfriend say that he is still in contact with his ex-girlfriend, especially from what Ji Jingyuan said. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it felt like it was Bae Joo-hyun who proposed the breakup between them at that time?
Why do you do that?

And you mentioned breaking up, but you still had that expression when you saw us just now? What are you lingering on about?

After connecting this news with the recent situation, Ming Jingnan was very unhappy.

But... after all, so much time has passed. No matter what happened before, Bae Joo-hyun is just an ex now.

This was announced in person by her boyfriend just now, holding her hand.

Just as Chi Jingyuan expected...compared to other details, what she cared about most was the stance.

After Chi Jingyuan answered Bae Zhuxuan's question without any hesitation in front of others just now, she didn't care what was said next.

"I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Recalling the touching feeling in his heart just now, Mingjing Nan pursed his lips and said something in a low voice, but then shook his head and chuckled: "But...it's all over."

…………

"Wow, I never thought Jingyuan...XI would be with..."

"I knew he would definitely be busy and would definitely have a new date, but I really didn't expect it to be Twice's Mina..."

"I've seen Twice backstage several times before, and I feel Mina xi is pretty nice, a very gentle girl... I didn't expect that, how long has Twice been debuted? It must be someone that Jingyuan xi hooked up with again."

"It's true... it's hard to change one's nature!"

After saying goodbye to Yoona and Ji Kyung-won, the three members of red vevlet also took the elevator upstairs.

Sun Shengwan kept talking non-stop, and in the end he couldn't help but wave his fist, harshly defining his former good friend.

Then, perhaps because she had said too much and felt thirsty, she bit the straw with a little breath left in her mouth, took a few sips of the sweet drink, and then burped happily: "It tastes quite good."

Jiang Shuqi next to her glanced at her without leaving a trace.

Sun Shengwan held the drink that Chi Jingyuan offered him, but he kept complaining about Chi Jingyuan mercilessly.

She always felt that this scene was weird and a little funny.

"Ouni..."

After taking a few sips of the drink, Sun Shengwan remembered something and pulled Bae Zhuxuan, who had not said much since they separated, to remind him, "Can't you see that he said that on purpose just now?"

She understood best the conflicted, pretentious and hesitant thoughts in this sister's mind.

"..."

Pei Zhuxuan, who was in a daze, was suddenly pulled by her. She was so scared that her whole body trembled and the drink in her hand was almost dropped.

Pei Zhuxuan quickly steadied herself and came to her senses. She glanced at her sister unhappily, curled her lips and wrinkled her nose: "Of course I can tell. How long have I known him? As soon as he narrowed his eyes, I knew what he was going to say! I thought I could just say a few nice words like before. I'm really ￥#..."

Seemingly feeling somewhat indignant, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but utter a series of Daegu dialect words at the end, which even Son Seung-wan couldn't hear clearly.

However, although Bae Joo-hyun's expression and tone were very determined and contemptuous in front of her sister, but... she had already finished almost half of the cup of hot drink in her hand in less than two minutes.

Although she felt very uncomfortable when she saw the intimate actions of Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan just now...but the tension in her heart finally relaxed.

Chi Jingyuan really did have a new girlfriend... Some of her previous thoughts were really naive and childish.

No one would stay there and wait, let alone him.

Now, facing the concern of Son Seungwan, although they have a close relationship, it is difficult to tell Son Seungwan and the others some private words and thoughts.

...And Bae Joo-hyun herself doesn’t know what she is thinking, it’s very confusing.

But it was enough to know who replaced her... As for the rest, she didn't know yet, so she should just let it go.
"correct……"

As the elevator arrived at the station and several people walked out, Son Seungwan suddenly realized that there were clearly three of them, but one of them seemed to have not spoken from just now until now... She turned her head and looked at Kang Seul-gi who had been playing the invisible person.

Jiang Seul-ki paused when she was suddenly locked in the gaze. Facing Son Seung-wan's sharp gaze, her cheeks puffed out, revealing a silly look as if in a protective color.

"Jiang Seulgi!" Staring at her closely, Sun Shengwan asked a soul-searching question: "Have you known about Jingyuan and Mina's affairs for a long time, and deliberately concealed it from us?"

"Ah? Haha... hehe... hehe~"

…………

“…Wow, unnie, you have no idea, it was just like a TV drama. I was so nervous…”

"Jingyuan Oppa is so awesome..."

In the practice room, Zhou Ziyu sat cross-legged on the floor, lowering her head to look at the patterns on the wooden floor, but she kept her ears perked up, listening closely to the ups and downs of Sun Caiying's gossip next to her.

Just now, after the Mingjingnan trio came back, they chatted with Lin Nayeon, who had come back a long time ago and was doing nothing, and they talked about the exciting situation that happened just now.

They were chatting over there, and Zhou Ziyu was listening here. She didn't interrupt, but just pursed her lips from time to time and scratched the floor with her nails.

...I always feel that since that time when they were angry, the connection between her and Chi Jingyuan has suddenly become blank. She had the closest relationship with him before, but now she has to go through other people to know about Chi Jingyuan.

And some things suddenly seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she couldn't participate in them... making her feel a little empty.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise coming from the door. Zhou Ziyu stopped what she was doing and looked up. The door of the practice room was pushed open.

The protagonist of the story that Son Chae-young just told, Bae Joo-hyun, walked in with Kang Seul-gi and Son Seung-wan.

As soon as Pei Zhuxuan came in, she turned her head slightly and looked over here...

Although there were many people in the practice room at this time and it was very noisy and chaotic, Bae Joo-hyun's sight instantly penetrated the crowd and locked onto Ming Jingnan sharply and directly.

Ming Jingnan, who had just been listening to the story with a smile on his face, also looked over as if good fortune had come to him.

The two of them stared at each other across most of the practice room, with faint smiles on their faces.

A second later, they seemed to have tacitly shifted their gazes at the same time, and looked elsewhere, as if it was just a coincidence.

...This brief moment was so sudden that others might not have noticed it, like Lin Nayeon, who was waving her hands and chattering.

But Zhou Ziyu, who is very good at observing people's expressions, witnessed the whole process with her own eyes.

Then suddenly there was silence.

...In the afternoon, the short senior came over to say hello to her. Although her attitude seemed very enthusiastic, Zhou Ziyu always felt that she had some bad intentions, and there was even a hint of temptation and dominance in her tone.

She didn't know why at the time... but after hearing the gossip about Son Chae-young just now, she roughly guessed something after connecting the dots.

And now, Bae Joo Hyun obviously reacted. After coming back, she looked at Ming Jingnan and ignored her directly.

Although that short senior didn't come over to pretend to reminisce about the past, Zhou Ziyu felt that she should be more relaxed without having to deal with these troublesome things.

...but she found that this was not the case.

Because Bae Joo-hyun, who had been paying attention to her before, now directly ignored her and looked at other people... made her feel very uncomfortable for a moment.

It made her feel as if she had become a complete outsider in this matter...as if Chi Jingyuan had nothing to do with her now or in the future.

Zhou Ziyu suddenly felt unhappy. She gritted her teeth and poked the floor hard with her fingers twice.

Are you just going to ignore me like that?
Why are you ignoring me?

Who do you think I am?

…………

"I thought I could see a good show, or at least make you anxious, but I didn't expect..."

In a high-end private room, Lin Yuner, who was eating Western food attentively, manipulated her knife and fork while sincerely praising Chi Jingyuan who was sitting opposite her: "...You are really amazing~"

After leaving the company, the two found a western restaurant nearby. While eating and chatting, they naturally talked about what had just happened.

"No way! Stop insulting me, Noona."

Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't know what he remembered, but he also sighed: "They have only been in the industry for a short time, and they haven't come into contact with enough people and things in the circle, and they haven't experienced these things, so they are still relatively green in this kind of thing..."

Even though he seemed to have resolved the crisis with just a few words... Chi Jingyuan was actually sweating at that time.

After taking a sip of his drink, Chi Jingyuan sighed, "They are nothing like Yoona and Nuna... If they had half of Nuna's skills, it would be really hard to end today, and we wouldn't be able to sit here and eat now."

"Ah..." Lin Yuner's expression changed when she heard this: "Why doesn't it sound like a good thing to me?"

What is my power? Who are you?
"How can it not be a good thing?" Chi Jingyuan put down his fork and waved his hand to refute, saying sincerely: "I am sincere, like... uh, Nu Na's mature and generous temperament, and calmness in dealing with things, really requires a lot of experience to cultivate... and is also very charming."

He paused for a moment, because Chi Jingyuan originally wanted to mention Bae Suzy's name, but he immediately took it back.

And he was indeed telling the truth. Compared to Yoona, or Bae Suzy... Mingjingnan and the others seemed a little immature.

But it’s not that they are not as good as Yoona, or not as smart as her, or have high EQ... It’s because everyone has to go through things before they can grow.

When Yoona Lin first debuted, she was not much better than them. She could not speak a word on the show and even blushed when she saw handsome male seniors.

...She has also been working in the circle for nearly ten years, and has experienced countless breakups and reunions, from TVXQ to SJ2PM, and has had various scandals, both openly and secretly, and the 14-year-old century exposure, and suffered unknown setbacks and betrayals, before she could become the graceful senior today, with the mature charm that allows her to play with many people and things.

Bae Joo-hyun and Ming Jingnan are not stupid people, but no matter how smart they are, they always need to accumulate some experience and knowledge. They have to go through breakups and reunions, or a heart-wrenching failed relationship, or a person who makes people nostalgic and can never forget.

...I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but Chi Jingyuan seemed to have acted too early on these two people. They obviously did not have much experience in relationships before, and seemed immature and at a loss in front of Chi Jingyuan. In some things, they were obviously not as free and easy and refined as Lin Yuna.

However, the carefully polished luxury goods are naturally bright and beautiful, but the unpolished jade that has just begun to show its tip actually has its own charm...

At least...Chi Jingyuan can help them grow up with his own hands.

In every sense.

"Oh, don't be so proud."

Lin Yuner curled her lips in disbelief and said with great understanding: "Let me tell you, women mature very quickly in this regard. As long as they have experienced it, they will be able to learn many things without a teacher in the future."

"After a while, or after one or two more experiences, your methods will probably be useless."

“…Nuna, what kind of tricks are you using? You say such harsh words!”

Chi Jingyuan knew that what the senior said was right, and he agreed in his heart, but he argued hypocritically: "I always exchange sincerity for sincerity."

"puff……"
