Chapter 74: Overseas Activities
ips herself."Maybe everyone feels differently, forget it..."Chi Jingyuan endured the dizziness and glanced outside for a while. He was still a little uncomfortable, so he drew the curtains shut. Then..."Oh, how coincidental. I didn't mean it literally."
Chi Jingyuan let out a sneer and glanced at her before replying.
He could tell that the senior had good intentions. Whether it was because of the casting decisions, his family background impression, or simply because he thought he was handsome, Jung So-jung seemed to have some feelings for Park Ji-won.
However, her way of expressing herself and her appearance are somewhat contradictory.
"Oh, you... "
Upon hearing this answer, Jung Soo-jeong couldn't help but curse, frowning and glaring at him.
Chi Jingyuan acted as if he hadn't heard, turned his head and looked her up and down, his expression strange: "Senior, you wouldn't be too into the script lately, would you Why are you starting to act like Li Bao Na in the script, becoming a little arrogant I heard you were pretty aloof"
"Who's being aloof Who's imitating Lee Bo-na That's just my personality. I just don't like talking to strangers much, don't you do the same You only give polite smiles when you're not familiar, and then you talk more after you get to know each other."
Jeong Seo-jung let out a light hum, looking displeased at Ji Kyeong-won.
"You have a sharp eye, as expected of a senior."
Ji Jingyuan gave a thumbs-up and praised her, his eyes lingering on Zheng Xiujing's face for a few seconds. When the latter felt awkward and wanted to turn her head, he suddenly said: "Smile more."
"O"
"I'm saying, senior, when you smile, it looks really good. It's much more charming than when you have a cold face."
Chi Jingyuan looked at her and nodded, his eyes sincere, as if he was genuinely offering advice.
"Hey"
Jeong Seo-jeong did not avert her eyes. She stared directly into Ji-gyeong's eyes and asked with certainty.
"Inside, at least from my perspective, it seems that way."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged and didn't continue looking at the other person. Instead, he turned around and looked back at the crew members.
"Hmph, who asked you to look."
Jung So-min let out a dismissive snort, quickly turned her head and looked towards the direction of the staff.
But as soon as no one was looking, the little expression on her face vanished. She smirked sweetly with a raised corner of her mouth and narrowed her eyes into a slit, like a student who had been praised by their teacher.

"With such high temperatures, aren't you hot dressed like this"
Ji Jingyuan, looking at the EXO members whom he hadn't seen in over a week, jokingly quipped.
LA's climate is pretty good, usually around 25 degrees Celsius in the summer. But lately, it's been unusual with the sun out constantly and temperatures rising significantly. Especially in crowded backstage areas, even with the air conditioning on, you can't help but sweat.
"Oh, what are you bragging about Are you so proud just because you don't have to go on stage or wear a performance outfit"
Wu Shih-hsien walked over and stopped Ji Jingyuan, grabbing his back and the nape of his neck.
Today is August 29th. Because this episode of M! Countdown will be held in LA as an overseas special, EXO flew to LA yesterday to prepare for this event.
Besides stage performances, a series of promotional activities will be held, such as signings, interviews, and meet-and-greets.
Like FX, Henry, and several colleagues from ** Entertainment companies will also be participating in this event. They arrived yesterday on the same plane as EXO.
Jung Soo-jung, who didn't have much filming for the drama, has already taken leave from the production team and returned to her own schedule. For this stage performance, she and the members practiced hard for over a day.
Pool Jingyuan, who has the heaviest workload, doesn't have this opportunity. His filming tasks these days are very heavy. Today, he specially moved up his shooting time to finish filming most of the day's quota by afternoon before taking a leave from the crew to meet with the members here.
Today's M!C is being held at the LA Memorial Sports Arena. This time, it's more like a concert than a music show. Each performing group performs several songs based on their popularity.
After arriving, Ji-yeong was immediately escorted backstage by ** staff. He hadn't been in the waiting room for long when EXO finished their rehearsal and came to greet him.
After a few days apart, Ji Jingyuan saw that the members were still quite friendly. He scanned his eyes around and noticed that many people looked tired. He guessed that their recent schedule must have been pretty demanding.
Although they were all tired, the high popularity kept everyone in good spirits.
"Jingyuan, how does it feel to be filming here Is it very hard"
Looking at Ji-hyeok, Seon and Shi-hoon having a good time together, Jin-myeon smiled for a moment before asking with concern.
"Well, the director and screenwriter have been pretty good to me. Filming is going smoothly, and I estimate that the shooting tasks here will be finished in a few days. Then I can return to the team."
Qi Jingyuan nodded at Kim Jun-myeon and gave a brief introduction.
"No, no! If you return to the team, I'll be missing a C-position member. Lately, I've been in charge of leading the fan chants during the introduction part. The cheers from the fans are simply addictive."
Wu Shih-hsun immediately pulled a long face upon hearing this, feeling that the blissful time had passed too quickly.
After Ji Chang-won's absence, most of his parts were given to Woo Se-hoon, allowing Woo Se-hoon, who had always been given very few parts, to truly experience the feeling of being the center.
“I guess your fans probably imagine me to be like you, otherwise there wouldn't be such a loud cheer for me.”
Chi Jingyuan patted his shoulder and ruthlessly gave him a piece of his mind.
"Hey, what do you mean! I'm really popular right now."
Before Wu Shixun could finish speaking, FX, who had finished the interview, walked into the resting room. Choi Se-ri, who was second in line, immediately saw Ji Kyeong-won and a smile appeared on her face. She skipped over and pulled him closer.
Because it was a temporary backstage setup, they used the large break room. Several artists shared one room, and all of ** Entertainment's participating artists were together.
"Jǐngyuán!"
"
Inside, senior.
"
"Don't call me senior!"
"Snap."
Ji Jingyuan saw Cui Xueli running over and reached out his hand directly. After Cui Xueli walked in, she came over with a high five and looked at him with a smile.
Behind her, Victoria, and a few others who had followed her, clapped their hands and greeted each other.
Even Jeong Seo-jeong, who was walking at the back, imitated them. She seemed like she wanted to say something, but after scanning the surroundings, she winked at Ji-gyeong and remained silent.
After chatting with EXO's members and FX, Henrry for a while, manager Lee Seong-hwan finished his business and entered the resting room. Seeing Ji Chang-wook, he smiled brightly, walked over and patted his shoulder, asking about his well-being with concern.
Then all twelve EXO members found a spot and lined up, facing the camera together to give a thumbs-up for an overseas reunion certification photo ready to be posted on SNS to show their camaraderie.
After chatting for a while, several more combinations were called out. Ji Jingyuan just sat in the lounge playing video games, waiting for the game to start.
When it was around six or seven in the evening, and the sky had turned completely dark, the M!tDownLA special edition "What'supLA" officially began. Ji-seong Kim sat in the back center, watching the screen with gusto, cheering on his group and friends.
After a round of opening music and VCR, the first to take the stage was FX.
