This photo has also been reprinted on many media headlines and various forums, becoming the best proof that SM has suffered Mercury retrograde, the atmosphere within the EXO team is not good, and the members are in a bad mood.

Even Chi Jingyuan couldn't laugh. Doesn't this prove anything?

…

"Are you okay over there?"

"It's hard to avoid a member quitting the group. Didn't we also encounter it before? Don't worry, it will subside after a few days. Just work harder next time when you come back (laughs) (come on)."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the message received on his phone and pursed his lips with a smile.

This was sent by Zheng Eunji. The first one was sent when the news first appeared in the morning. Chi Jingyuan was on the plane at that time. I saw it later but never replied.

Later, I just sent another one to comfort Chi Jingyuan. She used herself as an example to give her own explanation, which is indeed very convincing.

The news today was so exciting that everyone in the Peninsula music industry knew it immediately. Therefore, after Luhan’s withdrawal from the group was exposed, many of Chi Jingyuan’s friends all sent messages to express concern and condolences. Familiar

There are some unfamiliar ones.

But because he was in a bad mood and didn't know what to say at this time, Chi Jingyuan never replied and even didn't open some of them.

However, most of them are polite greetings. Some of them are closer to each other and more concerned about them, such as Zheng Eunji. When they see no reply, they will try to send two messages after a while.

"So free and easy? But I remember that you had a drink with me because Hong Yu-kyung quit the group. If I remember correctly, you looked extremely uncomfortable at that time, as if Apink was about to disband.

.”

Chi Jingyuan sat cross-legged on the floor, smiling as he quickly typed out a message on his phone and sent it back to her. At this time, Park Chanyeol came over and handed over a glass of iced drink.

"Thank you." He raised his head and took it, thanked him, turned it away and took two sips.

At the moment, they are in EXO's practice room, seizing the time to rehearse many songs and dances. Luhan's departure has not only affected XO's reputation, image, and fans, but also has many more intuitive effects.

of.

For example, most of the dance moves had to be rehearsed, some songs even had to be re-choreographed, and his previous parts had to be assigned to other people.

Several big hit songs, such as "Roar", "Addicted" and "Wolf and Beauty", had to be rehearsed in many places.

For example, in "The Wolf and the Beauty", Chi Jingyuan paired it with Luhan in the shape of the tree of life. The two of them stood in the second and third positions in the queue, holding each other's hands and relying on each other's strength to lean down and pretend to be branches.

Now that Luhan has left, he has no one to help him, and he can no longer place the tree of life. He has to wait for the dance teacher to arrange someone else to coordinate with him.

Especially for the M team stage, Luhan is the main member, so he has the most parts and C positions. The dance moves of six people to five people are completely different. It will be a big job to practice again after suddenly vacating the space.

quantity.

However, the workload is heavy and they have to practice again. Although EXO's group activities have been temporarily suspended, the next concert is on the 27th, so there is only one week for them to rehearse.

After the previous meeting, lay and tao, who had been left alone for about half an hour, came back. They went back to the practice room and said hello to the others without saying anything else.

Soon, Lee Seung Hwan and the company's management also went to the practice room to announce the temporary results. EXO's group activities are temporarily suspended, and personal schedules will not be affected.

It will be like this for the next few days, and will be adjusted accordingly based on the response from the outside world.

After this incident happened, the atmosphere in EXO's team obviously changed. The two Xia Guo liners were preoccupied and kept silent no matter where they were, without much desire to communicate.

Others don't know whether it's because of anger or irritability, but their overall mood is not very good.

It didn't take long for the dance teachers responsible for helping them to arrive quickly. Everyone began to seize the time to re-arrange. The most important thing now was to play through all the songs in the concert again.

After practicing for several hours, it was time to rest. The members all sat on the floor against the wall. They were not in a good mood and were not interested in talking much. A few people were communicating in low voices, and the others were doing their own things.

.

Park Chanyeol handed him the drink and nodded without saying anything. He went back to get a few bottles and handed them to the others. Then he sat back in his seat and fiddled with his phone without making any sound.

There was an uncomfortable heavy feeling permeating the entire practice room.

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, shook off the sweat on his forehead, picked up the drink and took two sips, and Zheng Endi's reply came.

"You are really annoying. You want to comfort you and expose my scars, right? (Roaring) Don't think that I will care about you anymore the next time one of you quits the group (curls)."

After watching it, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh, put the drink aside, and quickly went back: "The next time someone quits the group... curse us, right? Then I also congratulate you on the new drama's ratings exceeding 6%.

Kwan, I have forgotten to congratulate you before. It is an honor like a milestone. It will soon surpass that of "Reply 1997". You are worthy of the young actor Jung Eun Ji nim!"

"Ah! Chi Jingyuan, do you want to fight? Next time..."

The speed of this reply was very fast. Chi Jingyuan could picture Zheng Eunchi grinning and pressing the phone angrily through his cell phone.

After probably taking a look, they didn't have time to reply. When the break time came, the dance teacher clapped his hands and signaled them to continue contacting each other. The members stood up and walked to the middle to start a new round of practice.

In the evening, the members dispersed for a hasty meal and then returned to the practice room. They practiced until about one o'clock in the morning before disbanding and returning to the dormitory.

For rehearsing the concert, a week is barely enough time. If it only lasts for a day or two, it may be too late to stay up all night in the past few days.

After returning home, the atmosphere in the dormitory was obviously a bit dull. No one was in the mood to talk. Enough was said last night and this afternoon. It would be useless to say more.

This time the nature of the love affair is completely different from that of the previous love affair.

When Luhan's incident came out, EXO's foundation was really shaken. The group's originally bright future suddenly became a lot blurry. Each member also had different ideas and had many things on their mind.

And even if Chi Jingyuan was not told face to face, it was obvious that many people had a lot of opinions on Y, the two members of the Xia Guo line who had known about this matter before.

Although it is not considered isolated, the gap has clearly arisen.

Before, when Wu Saike ran away, they could watch the fun happily, but now it's Luhan, and they all became prosperous after running away. The one thing they have in common is that they are all members of the Xia Kingdom.

So who's next?

Anyone who has gone through these months of turmoil will be tempted to question themselves like this.

After queuing up and washing up, we went back to our rooms. Do Kyung-soo didn't go to the set today because of this incident.

"It's Okay, It's Love" in which he stars will premiere soon. The amount of filming done before is almost enough. The filming tasks in the past few days should not be so heavy.

The trio in their dormitory were each playing with their mobile phones, looking at various comments about Luhan's incident on the Internet, and chatting about one thing or another.

"Didn't you call the girl today?" Chi Jingyuan sat cross-legged on the bed and leaned against the wall, fiddling with his phone and looking up at Wu Shixun.

"What time is it? How can I be in the mood..." Wu Shixun rubbed his temples speechlessly as if he had heard a joke, and shook his head: "I sent her a message during dinner in the evening, saying that I won't call her for the next two days."

"Two days? If only this matter could be over in two days."

Do Kyung-soo, who was on the upper bunk, put down his mobile phone and sighed: "I'm afraid it's just the beginning..."

He didn't finish his words, but both of them understood what he meant.

There was a brief silence, and they chatted about some other lighter topics.

After saying a few words, Chi Jingyuan's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was from Pei Zhuxuan.

"What you said yesterday was about something today?"

Chi Jingyuan found that since Bae Zhuhyun was selected into SM's new girl group project, her contact with him has gradually become more frequent. Especially recently, after becoming a four-member group that is confirmed to debut, she likes to contact him from time to time.

Just sent two messages.

I don’t know if it’s because I want to share my feelings or for some other reason.

Chi Jingyuan didn't care. He lowered his head and replied quickly: "Nai, I was eating with Brother Luhan when I was talking to you."

"Jingyuan, why are you silent?" Do Kyungsoo was on the upper bunk opposite, his sight was blocked and he couldn't see what Chi Kyungyuan was doing. While chatting, he suddenly couldn't hear his voice, so he couldn't help asking in confusion.

"He was texting a girl over there."

Before the principal could speak, Wu Shixun glanced at him and spoke directly.

"Then go ahead, business is more important." Do Kyungsoo chuckled and stopped talking.

"How did you know it was a woman?" Chi Jingyuan looked at him.

"Who do you look down on? Is it a man?"

Wu Shixun glanced at him angrily, shook his head and stopped looking at him. Instead, he stared at his mobile phone and said with a determined look: "Although I haven't seen you on the phone, you send text messages endlessly every day. How can I be an ordinary friend?"

There are so many things to talk about...and you’re not the only person you’re talking to, right?”

"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow at him with a smile, and looked down at the reply message on his phone.

"We've all seen the news, and we've seen the photos from the airport, um... you guys, are you okay now?"

He had received countless similar text messages of concern today. Although he was very grateful, he was indeed a little tired. The corner of his mouth twitched and he casually replied: "I can't tell whether it's okay..."

After sending it, Chi Jingyuan threw the phone to the side, didn't bother to sit down and just lay down, looking at the wooden board on the upper bunk in a daze.

But before he could think about all the things that had happened in the past two days, the phone next to him began to vibrate again. Chi Jingyuan reached out and fumbled twice to take the phone over, and clicked on the message sent by the other party. The screen suddenly

One light.

Bae Zhuhyun directly sent a selfie.

In the photo, Bae Joo Hyun is still in the brightly lit practice room, with her bangs in front of her forehead a little messy. She must have just finished practicing and there is obvious sweat on her face and forehead. Her face is red and it seems that her body must be quite hot.

The head and face take up more than two-thirds of the entire photo. She seems to be trying to make a scrutinizing expression, but the slight sweet smile at the corner of her mouth breaks the serious atmosphere she strives to create.

At this moment, she was half squatting on the floor, staring at the camera with her big eyes open, and the reflection of her cell phone and hand that she used to take pictures could still be vaguely seen in her pupils.

There is also a line below the selfie: "If you can't tell, then I'll take a look for myself."
Chapter completed!
