Chapter 173: Language of Flowers(1/2)
In the second half of 2019, the female trainees under S.M experienced a particularly obvious change.
Kim Sung Kyung opened his personal Instagram shortly after leaving the company. As we all know, trainees under S.M who have not yet debuted are not allowed to have public SNS accounts. Kim Sung Kyung’s operation caused quite a stir in the fan circle. Although it is unbelievable, many fans and passers-by
I have to admit that she has probably left S.M.
As the most popular female ROOKIES second only to Jung Eun-rim, Kim Sung-kyung’s departure from S.M caused a lot of speculation on the Internet. Many people thought that this was a sign that S.M was about to launch a new girl group. Kim Sung-kyung probably did not fit in with the new girl group.
Only then will the concept of girl groups be wiped away.
However, no matter what, Zheng Enlin still stayed, and there is a high possibility that she will debut with the new girl group.
This is good news for the fans station sisters who have been following her for many years and have been accompanying her growth.
There is a lot of discussion from the outside world, and various information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false is emerging in the external discussion forum.
Unlike some netizens and fans who have firmly speculated, Zheng Enlin, who is still in the company, is very clear that S.M has no idea of starting a new girl group at this stage.
Recently, many familiar people have been around her, not only Zheng Enlin, but also Ning Yizhuo and Jin Wenting. They are all very affected. They can't help but hold her and cry when they are in the dormitory at night.
"Enlin, I feel so uncomfortable." "Why did Gao Eunni leave?"
"Can we really debut later?"
"Onie, you won't leave, will you?"
"Even if I can't debut in the end, we should always be good friends."
Zheng Enlin has heard too many words like this.
"We went to Busan yesterday and brought you some specialties."
"What specialty?"
“Packaged seafood and some handmade small ornaments.”
In recent days, Li Dinu and Luo Jaemin have often contacted Zheng Enlin. Mark Li has been following NCT 127 activities. Even when he was busy, he also did not forget to send text messages and call Zheng Enlin, sharing a lot of daily life tenderly.
Zheng Enlin knew that they all cared about her and had good intentions.
They did not want Zheng Enlin to be depressed for too long because of Gao Eun and others' departure from the company.
"Isn't Busan's Haeundae BBQ very famous? I ate it with Jun Yong. Their kimbap rice sausage ramen here is also delicious, but it's a pity that I can't pack it up and take it back to Seoul."
"Yeah." Zheng Enlin held up her mobile phone in one hand and lowered her head to look at the rabbit ears used as decoration on her slippers. "The canteen in the company building has recently launched a lot of new snacks, including my favorite chocolate chip cookies."
In addition to the convenience store outside the S.M building, the company has an internal cafe on the first floor. In the past two years, a convenience corner was also opened in the building. It is the kind of completely open convenience store that you can see when you walk out of the practice room.
arrive.
"Chocolate biscuits? That sounds good." Mark Li on the other end of the phone took over the conversation, "I haven't touched chocolate for a long time. My agent brother thinks the calories are too high and he won't let me eat it. Is chocolate higher in calories than meat?
?!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Mark Li unconsciously raised his voice.
Except when he was in the dream team, he has always been a protected and cared for younger brother. However, facing Zheng Enlin and Luo Jaemin, Mark Lee is both mature and reliable. Now he suddenly shows this slightly childish appearance. In fact,
Weirdly cute.
Her angry tone sounded like she was being coquettish.
"It seems so." Zheng Enlin said seriously while holding her mobile phone, "Hangyu is beef, and the calories of beef and fish are actually lower than some fruits and vegetables. The calories of pork belly are slightly higher, but they are still not as good as chocolate."
"Mo? Really??" Mark Li, who was caught off guard by the popular science, was shocked.
"Not only chocolate, snacks such as potato chips and nougat are also very high in calories." At this point, Zheng Enlin couldn't help but sigh, "They are all my favorites."
Mark Li on the other end of the receiver laughed out loud.
"There is no way." He said with emotion, pretending to be mature: "Life is so difficult..."
"Mo." Zheng Enlin covered her mouth and smiled. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said seriously: "Brother Mark, thank you."
Mark Li on the other end of the phone did not respond immediately.
"Are you feeling better these days?" Mark Li asked after a few seconds.
"Of course, because there are still many good people around me, including Brother Mark," Zheng Enlin said.
"I will definitely persevere, Oppa. After I make my debut successfully, I will be able to stand on the stage with you, right?"
"Yes." The simple but sincere response contained too many things in his heart that could not be expressed at the moment.
In the end, it was a gentle reply.
"I too...have been looking forward to that day."
…
From the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020, Zheng Enlin lived a step-by-step practice life.
Ordinary daily life is occasionally embellished with some warm and pleasant flashes.
In late April, Zheng Enlin celebrated another birthday.
NCT DREAM is about to come back. The six of them are all busy. Li Dinu tried his best to squeeze out some time to meet each other, and then deliberately lied to Zheng Enlin and said that he was busy and really had no time to choose a gift for her. He couldn't
Celebrated her birthday with her.
After the girl reluctantly accepted this fact, she made a surprise attack a few days before her birthday and secretly made an appointment with Zheng Enlin.
"Di Nu!" When the day came to meet, Zheng Enlin finished her dance class and ran to see Li Di Nu without stopping. Her whole body was full of joy.
The boy wore a simple striped T-shirt today. He had thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, and the corners of his lips were raised in a nice arc, making him look completely distant.
"My gift!" Zheng Enlin giggled and stretched out her hands. Li Dinu looked down at her, the smile on his face becoming more obvious.
"Hey Yigu... we haven't seen each other for several months, right?"
"Inside!"
"Then you don't miss me at all?"
"Think about it!" Zheng Enlin nodded her head several times like a chicken pecking at rice, but her eyes were not on Li Dinu, and she was fixated on the gift bag in his hand.
"Mo." Li Dinu was depressed and funny. He couldn't help but reached out and knocked Zheng Enlin on the head, and then handed over the bag.
"We are adults today, our Enlin."
"Yeah." Zheng Enlin responded while lowering her head to open the gift. It was a luxury brand perfume with exquisite design. The smooth round bottle was filled with light pink fragrant liquid, which showed a beautiful dreamy luster in the sun. The bottle neck was decorated with the same color.
The polka-dot ribbon is thinly outlined with silver thread on the edge.
The design of the perfume bottle alone is too much like a work of art, not to mention that the velvet box containing the perfume is also decorated with a small rose sprinkled with gold powder.
"The coming-of-age ceremony must have perfume, roses, and kiss. Now that we have the first two, we are just missing the last kiss." With that said, Zheng Enlin put away the perfume bottle and raised her head, "Li Dinu,
Do you want to kiss me?"
"Mo, Mo!" His cheeks began to heat up rapidly. Li Dinu took two steps back in a panic, looking at a loss. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you a crazy girl?"
"Pfft!" Seeing the other party's performance, Zheng Enlin laughed mercilessly.
"Hey Yigu, I was just kidding, why are you so excited?"
She spoke calmly, as if the culprit who had upset Li Dinu's heart with just a few words was not her at all.
"It's my birthday today, you can't argue with me!" the girl said confidently.
"...Your birthday is only two days away."
"I don't care, you are not allowed to be angry anyway!"
Li Dinu said nothing.
He looked at Zheng Enlin searchingly for a while, and finally sighed tiredly.
"Okay." It seemed like he was compromising, but like he was helpless, Li Dinu took a deep breath, and finally raised a hand as if to vent his anger, deliberately messing up Zheng Enlin's hair.
"There's really nothing I can do against you."
…
Shortly after Jung Eunlin's birthday, NCT DREAM officially returned to the music scene with their fourth mini album "d".
The new album contains a total of five songs. As soon as the title song of the same name was released, it immediately landed at No. 4 on the music chart, and then quickly secured the No. 1 spot on the chart, setting the best record for the entire NCT team.
The album's initial sales exceeded 400,000 copies in the first week, and it only took 15 days to pre-sale, breaking the album's first sales record.
The combination's performance was outstanding, coupled with previous accumulations, and the combined efforts of both internal and external parties, the company was finally willing to let go.
During the return period of "d", S.M officially released an official statement, announcing the cancellation of the graduation system, Mark Lee returning to NCT DREAM, and the group will be fixed to a seven-member model from now on.
The abolition of the graduation system and the return of Mark Lee will be of great benefit to the group, the fans, and the members themselves. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After NCT DREAM members were fixed, the take-off mode was successfully launched.
Coincidentally, when the group finally ushered in a new beginning, Zheng Enlin also successfully obtained a new opportunity.
In early May, S.M launched a new girl group project again. A total of seven female trainees, including Jung Eun-rim, Ning Yi-joo, Kim Min-jeong, and Ryu Jimin, were selected into the debut preparation group.
A month later, three female trainees were eliminated, and Japanese trainee Eri Uchinaga was selected. The reserve group was fixed to five people, and busy and fulfilling training began.
Eri Nainaga entered the company through the Saturday draft at the beginning of this year. She has only practiced for less than half a year, and her overall strength is obviously not as good as Zheng Enlin and others.
