Chapter 1374 Oppa
When Chi Jingyuan and Minatozaki Sana walked over, they were slightly taken aback when they saw each other, while Woo Jiho and the others who were chatting noisily fell silent instantly.
Yu Zhihao stopped mid-sentence, as if the second half of his sentence had been swallowed. His attempt at a cool smile was still on his face, but it looked somewhat stiff. His face, which was a mixture of laughter, surprise, and fear, looked rather comical under his short, yellow-green hair.
"Oppa~"
A clear shout quickly broke the silence. Lim Nayeon greeted everyone sweetly, waving from a distance of several meters.
The burst of joy and energy made Yu Zhihao, who was standing next to her, turn his head to look. This girl with rabbit teeth had been smiling the whole time they were chatting, but her smile seemed much brighter now.
"Nayeon~"
"Onie~"
After quickly scanning the faces of Woo Ji-ho, Kang Daniel, and the others, their gazes settled on Lim Na-yeon's face. Ji Kyung-won and Minatozaki Sana, who had been walking side by side in silence, both smiled and greeted Lim Na-yeon, while quickening their pace slightly as they walked over.
"Oppa, are you and Sana going to rehearse?"
She smiled and touched Minatozaki Sana's cheeks, then looked up at Ji Kyung-won who had walked up to her and asked.
"Yes, the stage manager just came to inform us."
"We're going there right away, we'll be right behind you."
While Lim Nayeon, Ji Kyung-won, and Minatozaki Sana were exchanging casual greetings, Park Jihyo also came over and greeted them with a smile, but unnoticed deep in her pupils was a hint of stiffness and helplessness.
It seems they have some reservations about seeing Chi Kyung-won suddenly appear.
But it wasn't that she hated seeing Ji Jingyuan... it was that she hated seeing Ji Jingyuan when her boyfriend was around.
because……
"Senior Annyeonghaseyo~" A very respectful voice came from behind. Park Jihyo didn't even need to turn around to imagine her boyfriend bowing to Ji Kyungwon at a 95-degree angle.
The restrained and slightly nervous tone seemed to reflect the difference between the two, and their previous ease and dashing demeanor were immediately suppressed.
When they first started dating, Park Jihyo actually thought that Kang Daniel was pretty good. He was a top member of the most popular boy group at the time, and she didn't think he was much worse than Mina's ex-boyfriend and Tzuyu's lover.
But ever since that chance encounter at the concert the day after tomorrow... Park Jihyo has never had that thought again.
She was still very concerned about her image, and from then on, whenever Kang Daniel was around, she would reflexively avoid Ji Kyung-won.
Although it's normal for juniors to bow to seniors, this kind of comparison makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"What a coincidence..."
Ji Kyung-won smiled and nodded at her, then his gaze swept back and forth between Park Ji-hyo and Kang Daniel's faces, and he repeated with a playful smile, "You guys...hehe, what a coincidence~"
He could tell at a glance what the two of them were doing; it was nothing more than the usual idol couple talking about their relationship.
But Chi Jingyuan didn't feel there was anything to criticize, because he himself was the same way back then. When he was dating Mina, Minatozaki Sana was his personal wingman.
Putting himself in their shoes, he not only had no objections, but seeing this idol couple secretly meeting under the guise of being wingmen even brought back a few memories.
After exchanging greetings, Chi Jingyuan naturally looked back, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and looked at Yu Zhihao at the very back.
Although the gaze seemed very gentle and calm, Yu Zhihao felt his legs tremble slightly, and sweat instantly poured out of his body.
...Because deep in his memory, when Chi Jingyuan hit him with a wine bottle, he had the same smile and expression.
devil!
Even though so much time has passed and his injuries have long since healed, the moment Yu Zhihao sees Chi Jingyuan's face, he can instantly recall the scene of him grabbing a wine bottle and smashing it on his head.
Occasionally, when he dreams about going to a club room, or even when he sees Ji Kyung-won or Chou Tzu-yu on TV, he will occasionally recall those memories.
'Boom~'
When Yu Zhihao and Chi Jingyuan made eye contact, the moment the other's gaze swept over his head, he felt as if he had been hit on the head again.
Besides that, what humiliated him the most was not Ji Jingyuan, but Zhou Ziyu... This female idol, whom he had previously treated as prey, ended up pouring a bottle of wine over his head from a superior position, and he didn't dare to put up any resistance.
He genuinely regretted what happened that time, and even felt somewhat wronged.
With such a powerful background and such influential people behind you, just say so, why pretend to be a helpless innocent flower?
Yu Zhihao has been in the industry for so long and he's certainly had his share of setbacks, but that one was truly the biggest Waterloo he'd ever experienced in all his years in the business.
He was so badly beaten that he ended up in the hospital, had to stop his activities and recover from his injuries for a long time. But afterwards, he didn't dare to say a word. He kept quiet about everything, whether it was to his fans or his friends. His company even warned him several times to stay away from Ji Kyung-won and Chou Tzu-yu.
This kind of old fox is best at bullying the weak, but he is incredibly docile and sensible towards those who are stronger than him.
Afterwards, Yu Zhihao didn't even dare to hate her. He kept in mind what Ji Jingyuan had casually said. Whenever he encountered Zhou Ziyu at events, he would deliberately avoid her.
Even after all this time, he remains the same.
He was just casually chatting with some younger guys and female idols he knew. He had even glanced around and asked a couple of questions, and only felt relieved after learning that Tzuyu wasn't there, and then he started showing off.
Unexpectedly, before she could even finish pretending for two minutes, Chou Tzu-yu hadn't actually run into anyone... but then, by sheer bad luck, she actually ran into the person in question!
Is he going to hit me?
Yu Zhihao and Chi Jingyuan exchanged a glance, their hearts skipped a beat, and the same thought reflexively popped into their heads.
“Jing… Jingyuan-xi, what a coincidence, haha.”
Yu Zhihao pursed his instantly dry lips, felt Chi Jingyuan's gaze, forced a smile, and greeted him somewhat haltingly.
As he spoke, he bent down slightly, his tense posture surprising people. But he really had nothing to say to Chi Jingyuan, and even a second in front of him would intensify his discomfort. After greeting him, he tentatively said, "Well, I'll be going now."
He really didn't want to stay a second longer.
But after he finished speaking, Yu Zhihao didn't dare to leave immediately. Instead, he kept watching Chi Jingyuan's expression.
His behavior was observed by Lim Na-yeon, Minatozaki Sana, and the others. They roughly knew the reason, but seeing Woo Ji-ho, a senior, behave so awkwardly after seeing Ji Kyung-won, they were all shocked and had their own thoughts.
The most surprised person was Kang Daniel, who was quite astonished. In his eyes, Woo Ji-ho was a very savvy guy who was usually arrogant and had the style of a rapper. He was also very experienced and had a wide network of connections, making him the kind of artist that Kang Daniel had always aspired to be.
That's how it was just now. Just standing to the side, he exudes a senior aura. Even with his blond hair, he doesn't look out of place at all; on the contrary, he looks very unique.
But now, Kang Daniel noticed that the guy's facial expression was stiff, his smile was forced, his body was tense, and his blond hair seemed to have collapsed.
Why do they look like mice seeing a cat?
All of this was because... Kang Daniel glanced at Ji Kyung-won.
As for what?
He couldn't quite understand it. Although Wanna One and EXO were competitors, and he himself had some unspoken opinions about Ji Kyung-won, after several meetings, he felt that Ji Kyung-won's personality was quite good, at least he had no problem with politeness.
Meanwhile, Chi Jingyuan saw Yu Zhihao's expression clearly. After hearing his words, Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, casually curled his lips, and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Sana Minatozaki stood to the side, watching Ji Jingyuan's actions. Unlike Yu Zhihao, who was on high alert and tense all over, Ji Jingyuan was very calm and did not care at all, as if he was just shooing away a fly.
Seeing Woo Ji-ho bow quickly as if he had received a pardon and then turn and leave, both Minatozaki Sana, Lim Na-yeon, and Park Ji-hyo felt a very special feeling.
It's one thing to deliberately avoid Chou Tzu-yu when you see her before, but it's another thing for Chi Kyung-won this time.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore."
For others, Woo Ji-ho's reaction was shocking, but for Ji Kyung-won, it was just an ordinary thing. After Woo Ji-ho left, he didn't stay long. He exchanged a few words with Lim Na-yeon and the others, and then continued walking towards the front.
Sana Minatozaki told the other members and quickly followed.
"..."
Lim Nayeon watched the two figures disappear into the distance, her eyes darting around.
"Jihyo, go call them for rehearsal. I'm heading over now!"
After greeting Park Jihyo, before she could even reply, Lim Nayeon skipped and hopped after her.
Even after she turned the corner and couldn't see him anymore, Park Jihyo heard a crisp voice say, "Oppa, wait for me~"
Feeling a bit nauseous, she glanced helplessly at Kang Daniel in front of her. Since her wingman had left, the two of them couldn't stay there any longer. After exchanging glances, Park Jihyo turned around and went back to the lounge to call for help.
"Oppa, Sana~"
She quickly followed, and after observing for a moment, Lim Nayeon naturally walked to Ji Kyung-won's right and asked curiously, "How's your stage practice going?"
Before the two could reply, she continued to say to herself, "We haven't even seen your stage performance yet, we've just seen Sana practicing alone every day."
The arrival of Lim Na-yeon actually eased the awkwardness and cold war between Ji Kyung-won and Minatozaki Sana. After hearing her voice, the discomfort between the two of them instantly eased.
"You practiced quite well, and the overall stage design is relatively simple," Chi Jingyuan replied with a smile.
"There's not much dancing on the stage for 'Uchiage Hanabi,' but there's definitely a lot of interaction. I'll definitely check it out later. Hey... why isn't Sana saying anything?"
"Because I wanted to hear more from you, unnie~"
With Lim Na-yeon around, the atmosphere couldn't be tense even if it wanted to, and Minatozaki Sana even chatted and said a few words to her with a smile.
As they walked and chatted, just as they were about to leave the backstage area and enter the front stage, Lim Nayeon seemed to recall the scene from earlier and suddenly asked with great curiosity, "Oppa... ZICO sunbaenim, why are you so afraid of me?"
Although the scene was brief and the two sides barely exchanged a few words, it left a very different impression on them, given their sensitive nature. Upon hearing what Lim Nayeon said, Minatozaki Sana's smile faded slightly, and she focused her attention on Ji Kyung-won.
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Chi Jingyuan gave Lim Nayeon a strange look and asked in return, "You don't know?"
He remembered that Tzuyu had mentioned this to the other Twice members before... because she had run into Woo Jiho at the TV station, and he was so frightened when he saw her that he turned around and left, which surprised the other members.
That incident completely satisfied the black girl's vanity, and she even told Chi Jingyuan about it. After that, every time she met Yu Zhihao, she would mention it with relish.
He didn't believe Lin Na-yeon didn't know.
"I heard Tzuyu mention a little bit, but she didn't go into details."
Lim Nayeon gritted her teeth and looked at Ji Kyung-won eagerly, clearly having been piqued by what had happened before: "I still want to hear what Oppa has to say. I felt like he was really scared of you. He said hello and then turned and ran away."
"She's already said it, and the reason is probably just that, what else is there to say..."
"Oppa~~~~"
Another sweet, coquettish voice rang out. Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan glanced at Lim Nayeon; her bunny teeth and goofy appearance were undeniably endearing. His gaze then fell on Minatozaki Sana, who was secretly watching him. After a moment's hesitation, under their expectant gazes, he pursed his lips and casually said:
"What else could it be? I beat him up before, of course!"
"How did he beat you up? How did he beat you up?" Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon's eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Kyung-won.
"Why are you so interested in this kind of thing?... To put it simply, it's like opening the bottle and pouring it all over his head, then smashing all the bottles over his head, something like that."
"But the one pouring the wine in front wasn't me, it was me in the back."
Ji Jingyuan recalled and corrected his statement, then looked at Lim Nayeon, who was staring with her mouth agape, a look of 'I can't believe it,' and even a hint of longing in her eyes. He was speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes, and glared at her with feigned indifference: "Want to try it?"
"what!"
Such an expression and voice startled Lim Nayeon, who was lost in her daydream... She was genuinely startled and jumped back. After regaining her senses, she scolded him playfully, "Oppa."
Before she could finish speaking, she leaned forward again, grinning with her big front teeth and asking, "Oppa, you said you weren't the one who poured the wine... then who was?"
"Who else could it be?"
Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and glanced at her, then gestured with his lips without saying anything, but it was clear that both Lim Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana knew.
Seemingly imagining the scene, a brief silence fell over them. The group walked to the side of the stage, and just as Ji Jingyuan was about to greet the on-site PD, Minatozaki Sana suddenly spoke up:
"Oppa~"
Chi Jingyuan, who had been called to a stop, turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Oppa, why did you hit him like that?"
Sana Minatozaki looked at Jingyuan Chi and asked softly.
The other party asked the question with some seriousness, but Chi Jingyuan felt that the question was boring and seemed like a rhetorical question.
He glanced at Sana Minatozaki and exchanged a casual remark, then turned and walked straight towards the on-site PD.
"Because his hairstyle was so ugly it made me cringe."
