Chapter 1401 Is it cold?
"It's snowing~"
Although it was only three words, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be able to feel the vibrant joy in them.
"go home."
After getting into the van, Ji Kyung-won told his assistant his destination and, without thinking much, immediately sent a video to Chou Tzu-yu.
The video call was connected after just two beeps, less than five seconds later.
After a brief loading period, the blurry screen instantly became clear, and Tzuyu's face appeared in sight. She was wearing a down jacket with a high, fluffy collar, and her short face was completely buried in the down jacket.
Half of her face was visible, revealing only a pair of round, bright eyes that looked like a pair of black grapes. The corners of her eyes were still red from laughing. Below that was half of her nose, which was red from the cold. Her mouth was wide open, forming two deep dimples.
However, upon connecting the video call and seeing Ji Kyung-won, Chou Tzu-yu took the opportunity to remove the hood of her down jacket and pulled down the zipper and collar a little, seemingly wanting Ji Kyung-won to see her more clearly, and also to show off her stunningly beautiful face.
"Put your hat on!"
Before she could even bask in her own glory, Chi Jingyuan threw out an imperative sentence of dissatisfaction: "Are you crazy? It's so cold."
Upon hearing Ji Jingyuan's words, Zhou Ziyu immediately stopped what she was doing. After a half-second pause, she obediently put the hat she had just taken off back on, zipped the zipper all the way up, but pouted and sweetly said, "I wanted to show you my look today~"
"What kind of look haven't you seen before?"
Chi Jingyuan retorted somewhat dismissively, paused for a second, and then casually asked, "What? Is she pretty?"
"The members all said it's especially cute."
Chou Tzu-yu blinked her big eyes.
"Well……"
He gave a vague, noncommittal reply, then said indifferently, "Then you can look at it when you get back to your dorm."
"Hehe~"
Chou Tzu-yu laughed heartily, though it was unclear what she was laughing about; her eyes narrowed into slits.
After laughing, he observed Chi Jingyuan's background, noticing his slight swaying as if he were in a car, and asked curiously, "You're still awake?"
"How can I sleep if you're not asleep?"
“We’re in our comeback period, we just finished today’s schedule, and you’re not…” Chou Tzuyu wrinkled her nose and retorted, “What were you doing just now?”
"Didn't I tell you before? I was having dinner and a party with friends."
Chi Jingyuan lay lazily on the back of the nanny van. He had just come out of the gate and felt quite energetic after being blown by the wind and snow. But as soon as he got into the car and turned on the heater, he immediately felt sleepy.
"You didn't tell me. A party? It's with Taeyeon unnie and the others again? Were you drinking?"
As she spoke, Chou Tzu-yu leaned closer, her large face pressed against the camera, sniffing lightly as if she could smell the alcohol on Chi Kyung-won from afar.
"if not?"
"Hmph, didn't you say last time that you'd call me when you drink next time?"
Seemingly anticipating Chi Jingyuan's response, the dark-skinned woman immediately feigned anger and accused him, "Liar!"
"Heh, Chou Tzu-yu, you're getting more and more arrogant." Chi Jing-yuan was amused by the black girl's righteous indignation: "Then if I call you now, can you come? I'll call them all back and throw another special event for our Chou Tzu-yu?"
"Hehe~"
Of course, Chou Tzu-yu knew she was just saying it casually, and that she was too busy to go at all. She shamelessly pretended to be stupid: "If I can't go this time, there will be a next time. Just remember, take me with you next time."
"Forget about remembering, I'm not bringing it!"
"Bring it!"
"Without!"
"Take it, take it, take it!" Chou Tzu-yu was practically right in front of the camera, tilting her head and swaying her body.
"Neuropathy."
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips... When it comes to childishness, who can compare to this black girl? He felt like his IQ had been lowered.
"Just finished?" Chi Jingyuan asked casually.
"Yeah, I just finished recording a variety show and came out of SBS. Look." As she spoke, Tzuyu raised the camera and pointed it at the SBS building behind her. "But my manager and a few other members still have some things to do, so we came out and waited here. As soon as we came out, we saw that it was snowing."
"Oh?"
Such a coincidence?
When Chi Kyung-won heard Chou Tzu-yu's words, he blinked slightly. He had just stepped outside when he saw that it was snowing.
There's a magical sense of synchronization between the two sides.
"Who took that photo just now?" He asked, recalling the atmospheric photo.
"The picture I just posted of you? Of course, I took it myself~" Chou Tzu-yu said shamelessly.
"I don't believe it... The silly-looking one in the back might be your photo, but the first one definitely isn't." Chi Jingyuan bluntly exposed her vanity.
"Hmph~" the little black girl snorted lightly, "It was Dahyun unnie who took the picture for me~"
"Duoxian?" Ji Jingyuan asked curiously upon hearing this, "Where is he?"
“He’s right next to me.” Chou Tzu-yu pulled the camera a little to the left and sure enough, she saw a short figure standing to the side with his hands in his pockets.
"So you just left it there..." Before Ji Kyung-won could finish his complaint, Chou Tzu-yu jogged a few steps to Kim Da-hyun's side, the camera pointed at her: "Unnie, he's calling you~"
"Huh?" Kim Da-hyun was quite surprised.
The two of them were watching the snow when Chou Tzu-yu suddenly received a video call. Kim Da-hyun knew who she was video chatting with without even looking at her, but the other person spoke entirely in Chinese, and she couldn't understand a single word.
Although she was curious, she could only stand there blankly.
Unexpectedly, Chou Tzu-yu suddenly turned the camera towards her, and upon seeing Ji Kyung-won on the screen, Kim Da-hyun quickly greeted him, "Oppa~"
At the same time, she was also somewhat happy, feeling that she hadn't been ignored.
"Da-hyun ah"
Ji Kyung-won greeted Kim Da-hyun with a smile, then, looking at her face on the screen, raised an eyebrow and praised her with some surprise, "Aigoo, kiyo~"
Kim Da-hyun looks adorable in the video, wearing a hair clip and appearing quiet and gentle.
"Qingjia?" Ji Jingyuan's reflexive praise immediately amused Kim Da-hyun, who shyly touched her hair.
"I gave Dahyun unnie this hair clip as a gift, isn't it pretty?" Tzuyu suddenly squeezed in half her face, shamelessly showing off.
Ji Jingyuan ignored her and continued chatting with Kim Da-hyun: "We were just talking about you. That photo was really good. Chou Tzu-yu didn't even tell me you were right next to me."
Before Kim Dahyun could even speak, Chou Tzuyu's head, which had just retracted, suddenly popped back out, slanting into the frame and blocking her view, while she went about stealing the spotlight: "Dahyun unnie is really good at taking pictures."
"Do you need to tell me?" Chi Jingyuan impatiently patted the girl's head twice from a distance, as if trying to push it back down.
"Haha~" Kim Da-hyun was amused by the two of them and covered her mouth with laughter.
"..."
In the video, Ji Kyung-won chatted briefly with Kim Da-hyun, but didn't say much. After checking the time, he said goodbye.
"It's so late, take care and get some rest. Let's hang out sometime sometime."
"Okay, Oppa~"
Kim Dahyun waved goodbye to the camera with a smile, and as the screen went black, Chou Tzuyu put down her phone, looking somewhat reluctant to leave.
But then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly perked up and pulled Kim Da-hyun into the snow: "Unnie, take a few more pictures for me, the last one was really nice."
After chatting with Ji Kyung-won for a while and feeling quite happy, Kim Da-hyun obediently agreed, while asking curiously, "Is Kyung-won oppa still awake so late? Are you busy with your schedule?"
"No, that's not it." Chou Tzu-yu pouted. "I was just having drinks with friends."
"A gathering? Are they friends from Kyungwon's circle?"
"Yes, he was talking about Kim Tae-yeon unnie and her friends from SM Entertainment."
"Oh……"
Kim Da-hyun nodded slightly. Although she was relatively quiet in private, she was actually a little envious of this kind of lively atmosphere.
"Tzuyu, move over a little more..."
The two started taking photos again in the snow, with Kim Da-hyun directing Chou Tzu-yu to pose.
"OMG, it's snowing!!"
However, after the two had been filming for a short while, the other Twice members also came out one by one. They had all looked listless, but they immediately perked up when they saw the snowy sky.
The happiest of them all was Lim Nayeon. She had been walking out with her head down, looking like she was about to fall asleep. But when the cold wind blew and she looked up to see the snow, she screamed "Ah!" and stomped her little boots on the ground a few times. Then she excitedly ran into the snow and started jumping and skipping around.
Everyone else also took out their phones to take pictures. Seoul's first snow of the year is indeed a meaningful event for some people who value rituals.
However, they didn't play for very long. Soon everyone got into the van and returned to their dormitory.
However, as the car started moving, Chou Tzu-yu noticed that Minatozaki Sana next to her seemed a little off.
This unnie sat by the window, looking out while occasionally glancing down at her phone, which was always nestled in her hand.
She didn't seem to be in good spirits; her tired eyes seemed to hold not only exhaustion but also a deep-seated worry and sorrow.
"Unnie, what's wrong?" Chou Tzu-yu leaned closer and asked in a concerned whisper.
"Ok?"
Sana Minatozaki, who was lost in thought, was startled awake. But when she came to her senses, the first thing she did wasn't to look at Tzuyu. Instead, she reflexively glanced at her phone, as if she was worried about something.
After finding the phone silent, she looked at Chou Tzu-yu again and pursed her lips slightly.
Chou Tzu-yu was right; Minatozaki Sana wasn't in good shape.
Besides the heavy schedule and physical exhaustion, the main problem actually stems from what happened starting yesterday.
Yesterday, she inexplicably received an abusive text message. At first, she thought it was sent to the wrong person and ignored it. But after the recording ended, she received several more messages, each one filled with extremely offensive language and specifically naming Sana.
She forced herself to read through the text messages and realized that it was all related to that senior, Park Yoochun, again.
Although Park Yoochun stopped harassing and pursuing her after she made things clear, the news of his pursuit somehow got out and reached the ears of Park Yoochun's fiancée.
This person, having heard secondhand information from somewhere, probably thought that Sana Minatozaki was being shameless and seducing her fiancé. She got her phone number and started hurling insults and profanities at her.
Since yesterday, I've sent more than a dozen text messages and even made a phone call.
Sana Minatozaki tried her best to explain, but her explanations seemed to only further enrage the other party. It seemed that her attempts to defend herself were not allowed in the other party's eyes, but were a kind of provocation, and the other party began to insult her more and more.
Sana Minato couldn't hold back any longer and simply blocked the number.
While this made things much quieter, it was only a temporary solution. If the other party could get her phone number, how could they not get a new one, or even come knocking on her door?
She was worried all day, suddenly hearing bad news, receiving new threatening text messages or phone calls, and her nerves were on edge all day.
She also secretly checked the other party's information and found that she seemed to be a woman with a bad reputation but a very powerful family.
It's really a burden for her to have inexplicably provoked such an unreasonable woman.
Deep down, there was even a hint of worry and fear.
She felt truly innocent.
But how can I tell others about something like this?
………………
"If I meet you, tears will well up in my eyes."
"I'm so stupid I can't say anything."
When Ji Kyung-won finished his trip to Seoul and returned to the film set in Gangwon Province, he heard Kim Ji-won humming this song as soon as they met.
He recognized the tune instantly; it was one of EXO's early songs, "First Snow."
Why are you singing this song?
After greeting the others, he found a seat and looked at Kim Ji-won with a curious expression.
"When I checked the music charts today, this song was the fastest rising in the rankings. I thought it was by your group, so I gave it a listen..."
Kim Ji-won took off her headphones and waved them at Ji Kyung-won, her expression slightly amused: "I didn't expect them to sound so good... Your voice sounds so young in them."
"What do you mean by 'young inside'? I'm young now, okay? 24 years old!"
Somewhat dissatisfied, Chi Jingyuan corrected the woman's choice of words and took out his phone to open Melon. He was somewhat surprised to see that their song "First Snow" had risen directly to fifth place on the Melon chart, and the data was still rising.
However, Ji Kyung-won was not surprised. This was not the first time. In the previous years, it was fine, but starting last year, whenever it snowed in Seoul, their song "First Snow" would instantly become popular... People from the Korean Peninsula really like to listen to songs according to the seasons and a sense of ritual.
Has it snowed in Seoul?
Kim Ji-won took the coffee her assistant handed her and casually looked at Ji Kyung-won, asking him a question.
"Down."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, took out his earphones, connected them to his phone, put them in his ears, and started playing "First Snow."
"...If I meet you, tears will well up in my eyes."
The familiar music rang in my ears; it was his own voice. I have to say, Kim Ji-won was right; he did sound younger, or rather, a little more youthful.
Listening to his own voice, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have returned to 2013.
"Are you cold?" Kim Ji-won asked again.
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at the gray sky:
"cold."
…………
I was fully immersed in filming "The Spy," and time flew by on set. Before I knew it, it was the 18th.
Having just finished filming a scene, Chi Jingyuan walked to the rest area, about to sit down and chat with the people next to him.
Suddenly, the phone in my pocket rang loudly.
