After things were temporarily settled, it was almost three o'clock when we returned to EXO's dormitory, but what was interesting was that more than half of the members were still awake. As soon as Chi Kyung-won came back, he was surrounded by Kim Jun-myeon who was sitting in the living room watching a horror movie.

Kim Min-seok discovered it.

The two brothers each hugged a pillow tightly. They seemed to have seen the critical moment. They just said hello to Chi Jingyuan and ignored it.

The past few days have not been very busy, each member has quite enough energy, and there are usually some special activities in the evening.

However, there are also a few local Seoul members who have gone home to live in the past few days... According to the news heard by Ji Kyung-won, it is estimated that SM will no longer force EXO members to live in dormitories next year. Normally local

Members who have an apartment and a place to live can go back and live on their own. Only during the return period or when there are team activities are they required to live in a collective dormitory.

This is also a normal trend in the development of groups... It is said that in Girls' Generation, no one lived in the dormitory very early. At that time, there were only one or two lonely otakus living in the huge dormitory.

For Chi Jingyuan, living in a dormitory and living at home have their own advantages. The latter has better accommodation conditions and more free time, which is especially convenient for falling in love or dating.

But the dormitory is actually not bad. At least it’s very lively with so many people living together. It’s really interesting a lot of the time... I woke up early in the morning and saw two people there because of toilet arrangement issues or snoring last night.

Quarreling, you exposing each other and me ridiculing, made Chi Jingyuan wake up from his sleep. This kind of fun is something you can't experience if you live alone.

After washing up and returning to the room, he found that his two roommates, Oh Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo, hadn't slept either. They were lying on the bed playing with their mobile phones.

"Why did you come back so late?"

After seeing Chi Jingyuan come in, Wu Shixun glanced at the time on his phone: "Didn't you go on a date with Irene? Does it take so long to get back together?"

"Who told me to get back together?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, changed his clothes and sat down on the bed, lying straight down, resting his head on his arms and looking at the ceiling above.

So many things happened tonight. He just drove back and forth in Seoul for an unknown amount of time. He didn't feel it just now, but now he feels a little tired after going here... But he is still in good spirits, and there is nothing in his mind.

Consciously thinking about the scenes tonight.

"you will not……"

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Wu Sehun seemed to feel something, and blurted out reflexively, but stopped mid-sentence, sat up from the bed, and looked at each other with Do Kyungsoo, exchanging glances.

He seemed to see that Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan really had problems and separated this time, but at this time Wu Shixun did not try to persuade them to reconcile from the side like before. Instead, he was quiet for a while, and then looked over and offered to

: "Would you like to go out for a late-night snack? Have a drink or something to relax?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan came back to his senses. He understood what this person meant and looked at him with a strange look: "Hey, you are so loyal... Why didn't you look so enthusiastic when we broke up several times before?"

"How can you call the few times you dated in the past? You just dumped them after you were done playing with them, and you were so comfortable with them that there was no emotional fluctuation at all. I don't even bother to talk about you..."

Hearing what Chi Jingyuan said, Wu Shixun curled his lips disdainfully and said with a very understanding expression: "But you and Irene obviously feel different this time, right, Kyungsoo hyung."

Do Kyungsoo also nodded and agreed: "Well, Jingyuan seems to be in a bad mood."

"Look... do you want to go? Drinking some wine is the best effect when you are in a bad mood like this. After all, I'm still a little hungry..."

"Well……"

Chi Jingyuan puffed out his cheeks and exhaled.

This guy's eyes are really sharp... he is indeed a good doctor after a long illness.

But even though he complained in his heart, Chi Jingyuan still felt the kindness of his teammates, which was quite useful to him.

But after thinking about it, he still declined: "Forget it, I have something else to do tomorrow."

If he was in a very irritable mood just now, Chi Jingyuan would have really wanted to find a few friends to have a late-night snack and drink some wine or something, but now his mood has improved a lot, and there is no need for this.

And although there may be some problems now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

After hearing what he said, the two roommates didn't force it, nor did they say anything else. They seemed to have created a quiet atmosphere.

Chi Jingyuan, who was lying on the bed, felt sleepy. He took one last look at the dazzling overhead light, reached out to turn it off, and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.

He doesn't know if Pei Zhuxuan and Zhou Ziyu, who have disturbed him these past few nights, are asleep at the moment...

…………

Chi Jingyuan got up very early the next day, went directly to the company to sort out yesterday's songs, and then rushed to the recording studio to record a demo himself.

Although some parts are not yet completed, at least the melody and lyrics are already there, and you can already hear the quality of the song.

Because he sent the message in advance, after recording the demo and having lunch, Chi Jingyuan went directly to Li Xiuman to listen to him. Kenzie happened to be there too. She was also very interested in Chi Jingyuan's new song, so she listened to it together.

Checked it out.

"We once loved each other, when we met."

"It becomes an unforgettable memory."

The melody that had just been released less than 24 hours ago was played from the memory with Chi Jingyuan's voice, and several people listened attentively.

"It's very good. The whole thing is very complete. The beginning and chorus are very catchy. Especially the melody is really great. You can sing along after listening to it once. It's also a rare style in Kpop... but the arrangement

Isn’t it a little too simple?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to it twice in a row, before Li Xiuman said anything, Kenzie couldn't help but nod and praise. It seemed that he liked the demo of Chi Jingyuan, and he commented at the same time.

While asking questions:

"Nuna, it's just a first version now, and the arrangement hasn't been perfected yet."

"Well, I think so... I think it would be more appropriate to use more keyboards and percussion instruments. You can think about it then..." As she said that, she seemed to think of something again, and reminded: "Also, Jingyuan, you

Have you checked for repeats? I think one of the chorus lines sounds familiar."

"I checked it last night. The melody of one sentence is somewhat similar, but the rhythm is different in comparison. Only a few syllables are similar and are not repeated. Moreover, this sentence is the only one that sounds similar. The other differences are obvious and have no impact.

big."

Chi Jingyuan said seriously, even if there is no subjective plagiarism, there are often very similar songs with similar inspirations, so after a song is created, the first thing to do is to check whether there is duplication or plagiarism.

"That's okay." Kenzie nodded and gave Chi Jingyuan a thumbs-up with a smile: "Remember to listen to me after this song is finished..."

Li Xiuman didn't say much. After chatting for a few words, the two left the music room first. After saying goodbye to Kenzie, Chi Jingyuan followed Li Xiuman to his office. After taking the initiative to pour the water, the two chatted.

Got up.

"Teacher, what do you think of this song?

"I think it's pretty good. It would also be good to be the title song of your solo album..."

Li Xiuman pondered for a moment and then adjusted his glasses. First he gave a positive evaluation, but then changed the subject: "But I think there is a difference in quality compared to the few songs the company prepared for you before and some songs collected from outside.

It’s not that obvious.”

As he said that, he laughed again: "Of course, as I said before, Jingyuan will let you control your solo this time. If you decide on the title song, of course the company will support you..."

"..."

Chi Jingyuan looked at Li Xiuman who was smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and blinked.

He could tell that Lee Soo Man was actually a little dissatisfied with the fact that his solo album had been delayed without any progress. This also represented some of SM's attitudes, because as the TOP of EXO's popularity gap, his first solo was the whole company's

One of the most important projects in the second half of the year, or even the entire year, is related to SM's planning and adjustments for the personal development of EXO members.

As a result, there has been no progress since the solo project was established at the beginning of the year. In fact, the company is a little anxious and has already urged him several times. If it were not for the fact that he is Chi Jingyuan, the song would have been planned by the company's producer if it were another person.

alright.

...But Li Xiuman seemed to just complain a little, and was still very satisfied with Chi Jingyuan.

Ji Kyung-won understood Lee Soo-man and the company's urging and complaints, but he somewhat disagreed with his evaluation of the song.

The company provided him with a lot of song resources, almost open to him to choose from, which can be called preferential treatment. There were also songs of excellent quality and title song level, but after he listened to them, none of them made his eyes light up.

It's a song that's very appetizing and will definitely be a hit.

Kenzie nodded immediately after listening to this new song. Chi Jingyuan also felt that this kind of melody was catchy, and it was rare to find a song that matched the style and lyrics well. However, when it came to Li Xiuman, he thought it was just okay, and it was in line with the company's music library.

There's not much difference between those.

Ji Kyung-won now feels that Lee Soo-man's song appreciation ability seems to have some problems in the past two years. Not to mention that his evaluation of "Cheer up" last year made Twice a hit this year. It doesn't matter that he is not particularly optimistic about "Love Scenario". This year

Which songs from the debut junior group NCT can one choose?

Fortunately, Chi Jingyuan has enough say in his solo album.

"After the whole song is perfected, I will show it to the teacher...but if there are no accidents, this should be the title song."

Chi Jingyuan first said it tactfully, and then explained his thoughts seriously.

"Well, let's settle it. Now that the title song is confirmed, Jingyuan, you can officially start preparations for your solo project... As for the included songs, have you already considered it?"

He nodded. He had actually thought about this matter many times. He counted it with his fingers: "This time we are not going to have a double main song. In addition to the title song "Love Scenario", "Music Box" will be added.

Entered, originally if there was no "Love Scenario", I would have used this song as the main song... "Butterfly Effect" will also be added. I like this song very much."

“‘Save Me’ and ‘I’m Fine’ are matching twin songs. If included, they can echo from beginning to end, and the interpretation of the concept of youth in this album can be more complete.”

"Then there are several songs that have been released before, including "You=I" from the first tour, "Answer" from the third tour, and "Rooftop Room" from last year's Song Festival, but the sound source of "Rooftop Room" has already been released.

If you want to include it, it’s best to make a REMIX version..."

To elaborate on his thoughts, Chi Jingyuan frowned as he spoke: "Besides these few songs, there are actually some candidates... But this makes the number of songs a bit too much. For a mini album, six or seven songs are enough."

enough……"

The original solo project was to release a mini-album, but Chi Jingyuan may be a little excited about his first solo, and wants to express and show more things, and he happens to have enough song resources, and it seems that he has included songs.
To be continued...
