Chapter Four Are you pushing and pulling?

s major productions this year. The male lead is Soo Ji-sub. But the main roles are already cast and filming has started. It will be released on May 30th. However, we can arrange a small role for you a...,Peninsula Asteroid

These kids who live in the city every day have gone crazy, especially after Chi Jingyuan officially joined in. The twelve of them were a riot, pushing and shoving each other, all very lively.

While Chi Jingyuan's actual combat strength is the strongest, due to being the youngest member, he has to yield to the other members on camera, preventing him from fully displaying his abilities. Moreover, he was tricked and ambushed several times by the older members, leaving his lower body completely soaked.

Members were thrown into the waves one by one. In a short while, everyone's pants and shoes were soaked, but no one cared. Excited shouts echoed through the beach as joy filled the air.

In the end, it was like Kim Jun-myeon, Kai, and a few others who directly took off their clothes. They went on stage in short sleeves on such a cold day, sweating profusely but not feeling the chill at all.

We went wild for a while, running and playing until everyone was exhausted. It wasn't until then that the chilling dampness of my lower body hit me. We all rushed back to the van, changed our shoes, socks, and pants. Then we filmed a few short games. This beach scene is temporarily over.

Then they got into the nanny van and arrived at the specially reserved homestay for this program.

This guesthouse is quite large, with two bedrooms, three halls, and its own small garden. It's a good place for both relaxing and entertaining.

As soon as they get back to the dorm, some people might be too tired from playing and just flop onto the couch or bed with their clothes still on. Ji Jingyuan is one of those people.

He hadn't played so crazily with his peers in ages, he was really into it just now.

"Brother, turn off the lights, let's take a nap for a while." Chi Jingyuan lay on the sofa, catching a glimpse of the figure beside him mumbling.

"Oh, we're filming, don't sleep! We still have things to do... Members, everyone come to the living room!" Jiyuan ah, wake up!"

Kim Jun-myeon looked at Jiyeong with a speechless stare, yelled out to the surrounding people a few times, and then walked over to pat the maknae who was about to fall asleep.

"There's no way, work still comes first. Chi Jingyuan helplessly stood up again and walked into the living room with the others."

"We are planning to have a barbecue together tonight, but we need to make the rice and soup ourselves. The important thing is that we didn't bring anything, so someone needs to go to the market to buy things."

“We should send a few people to the market to buy groceries, and the others can cook in the dorm...Suho oppa, Chanyeol, and Yuan should go shopping.”

"So it's decided then! Remember to bring your wallet."

Don't forget to bring back some snacks!

Okay, you all stay safe…

Members quickly divided into groups: those who would buy groceries and those who would cook. Ji-seong sighed, bid farewell to the others, and followed Kim Jun Myeon and Park Chan Yeol out the door toward the market.

When the van arrived, they got out and then Chi Jingyuan realized it was a bit different from what he had expected.

I originally thought that "market" referred to a supermarket, but it turned out to be more like a traditional vegetable market or bazaar. A narrow stone path lined with shops on both sides was bustling with activity. Stalls and carts were set up along the pathway, selling local specialties and snacks everywhere. The constant flow of people created a lively atmosphere.

To be honest, Ji Jingyuan rarely attends such events. Seeing this, he immediately perked up. Under the camera's lens, he and the other two brothers excitedly began to explore, finding many things novel and interesting, proactively going forward to inquire.

At this moment, a street vendor sitting at her stall saw the few people being filmed and out of curiosity, she spoke up: "What are you doing And why are you filming"

"We are singers," a few replied with smiles.

"Singer What song are you guys singing" The auntie saw that the several handsome young men were obviously in a good mood and persisted.

"We have sung 'The Shout'."

“The Roar…I've seen you guys on TV, Ai Yu is really handsome! Oh my God, isn't that Jin Tan”

The auntie first pondered for a moment, seeming to have some memory of the outburst. After politely complimenting him, she suddenly recognized Chi Jingyuan standing behind him, her eyes widened in astonishment as she exclaimed aloud.

"May Kang Sang Mi Da, Kang Sang Mi Da."

Before the three people could even speak, they quickly bowed and thanked the old woman before leaving her stall.

Although my aunt is very enthusiastic, I estimate that if I stay any longer, my aunt's loud voice will attract the attention of everyone around. Then it will be difficult to leave.

"What do you think other people are doing in the dorm right now" Park Chan-yeol suddenly asked as the three walked along, looking at the lively market on either side.

"Still thinking about it He must be asleep, " Chi Jingyuan glanced at him with a sure tone.

If it were him, he would be sleeping in the guesthouse right now.

"I agree." Kim Jun-myeon nodded in agreement.

They sleep in the dormitory, we worked so hard to buy groceries, it shouldn't be too much to ask to have a quick bite first, right

Chi Jingyuan suddenly saw a stall selling "Yuanzu Guazi Tang Pie" with a long queue beside him. After watching for a few seconds, he pursed his lips and suggested.

"Of course, no problem, let's go!" The other two people's eyes lit up.

Three people ran over and joined the queue, but it was quite long. After waiting for several minutes, Park Chan-yeol suggested, "Jingyuan, you stay here in line. We'll go buy the meat and vegetables first, how about that"

"Okay, no problem."

"Then, let's split up and meet back here in a bit. The money is here; remember to buy three." Park Chan-leek handed the money to Ji Kyeong-won and then waved goodbye to him and Kim Jun-myeon before going off to buy meat separately.

This time, the budget is provided by the program group, and there is a limit, so we can't spend it randomly.

After the two people left, Chi Jingyuan was alone in the queue. Because there was a VJ filming him, he was very noticeable. He is quite popular and well-known, so many people recognized him and took out their phones to film him.

Several girls, who looked to be in their teens, ran over with expressions of surprise on their faces. They stared at Chi Jingyuan with disbelief, seeming extremely excited.

Chi Jingyuan, surrounded by onlookers like pandas, smiled in response to them. He waited for about ten minutes before buying 3 'Yuanzu Guazi Tangbing' that looked delicious.

After he packed up the other two guys' pies, he picked up his own pie, not afraid of the heat, and ate it directly without hesitation.

The taste is decent, similar to ordinary sugar cakes, but with some melon seeds mixed in. The combination is quite delicious.

"Yuanxi, wouldn't the other members be upset if the three of you ate everything yourselves and didn't bring any back to share"

At this moment, VJ zoomed in with the camera on Chi Jingyuan who was eating, and then provocatively asked.

“…………”

Chi Jingyuan winked at the camera, puffed out his cheeks and chewed a few times before swallowing. Then he looked at the camera and VJ, asking with confusion: "Isn't it enough to not tell them If they don't know, won't they be angry"

That self-assured look and nonchalant tone, coupled with the lingering sheen of oil on his lips, seemed quite comical. The VJ couldn't help but burst into laughter, shaking the camera a few times.

Next, Ji Jingyuan and Kim Jun-myeon, who had just bought meat and vegetables, met Park Chan-hyeok. The three of them finished their mission and didn't go back directly. Instead, they decided to browse the market.

The other two didn't know, anyway, Chi Jingyuan himself felt it was quite interesting and refreshing. Then he took the initiative to taste fish cakes, fried chicken nuggets, pig intestines and some other snacks, and even challenged the so-called healthy goji berry juice.

After strolling through the entire market and feeling satisfied with his haul, Chi Jingyuan, who felt this trip was worthwhile, returned to the guesthouse with the other two.

As expected, the other members besides Bian Baekhyun and the one who was diligently cooking were sprawled all over the sofa and beds, looking like they had been sleeping for a while.

Park Chan-hyeok and Kim Jun-myeon went to call the others, while Ji Kyeong-won came to the kitchen to check on the cooking team's progress. He opened the rice cooker and was immediately stunned.

"Bro, who cooked this" Chi Jingyuan pointed at the rice cooker and asked incredulously to the person beside him.

"It was me and Bo-hyun who did it, what's wrong" He seemed confused.

"No, brother, we have twelve people here. You only made half a pot of rice, and it's probably not enough for the two of us. Why don't you make a little more"

Seeing such a pitiful amount of rice left in the rice cooker, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say.

"...because Beixian said that if you do too much, the moisture control wouldn't be good, so..." She also glanced at the rice cooker and felt a little embarrassed. She tried to explain herself for two sentences, wanting to redeem her image."

"Annie, that's great, everything is fine."

Chi Jingyuan gazed at him with genuine admiration and gave him a thumbs-up.

Anyway, he didn't expect these guys to cook a good meal before. Besides, he was almost full already.

After everyone was called, they started preparing the evening ingredients, setting up the grill, and cutting meat. By the time all that was done, it was almost dark. The twelve members huddled together in the backyard of the rented house, excited to start their long-awaited barbecue party.

As expected, that tiny amount of rice was not enough at all. Twelve people each only got a mouthful of rice. Making the meal and Bian Borxian were madly attacked by others.

First, the two tried to defend themselves, but seeing no point, they simply started back-talked, blushing and retorted with harsh truths like "Who told you to slack off and go to sleep Want to eat it yourself"

Amidst the laughter and shouting, the barbecue party came to an end. After the cameras stopped rolling, the program crew summarized today's filming results, then outlined tomorrow's shooting schedule before calling it a day.

……

Early the next morning, before sunrise, everyone got up and drove to the beach we had just visited yesterday.

This is the last process of this period's variety show shooting, watching the sunrise.

Back on this beach in the East China Sea, it was pitch black now. The darkness of twilight had reached a tipping point, and the whole world seemed to be under a heavy weight. Exo's members stood in a line, waiting silently.

After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of dawn appeared at the horizon where the sea met the sky. The warm and gentle sunlight gradually rose, casting dazzling rays that pierced through the darkness over the ocean in a very short time, painting the entire sky with a breathtaking golden hue.

Even watching sunsets countless times on television, nothing compares to the awe-inspiring experience of witnessing it firsthand.

Seeing this scene, the members were also filled with emotion, and some couldn't help themselves.

Starting with Kim Jun-myeon, everyone took turns saying a word of blessing and expectation.

"...Hope exo has more development in 2014..."

"I hope all my friends can be happy……”

"I will speak more this year and become more cheerful..."

"I hope I can become more handsome!"

“... "

Chi Jingyuan witnessed the entire scene. With his hands in his pockets, he quietly watched the sun steadily rising. He felt that the previous fatigue and restlessness within him seemed to be healed, and his whole person became warm and peaceful.

He smiled and watched the sunrise in the distance, sending his blessings.

Here's the translation:I hope we all stay healthy.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After the sun had fully risen, all the members lined up again and struck the group's signature pose in front of the camera:

"1, 2, 3."

"EXO's Showtime!"

After shouting slogans back and forth repeatedly, this nearly day-and-a-half shoot finally came to an end.

This trip was really different from the other busy schedules before. Everyone looked to be in great spirits. The previous pent-up and suppressed emotions seemed to have been perfectly released, and everyone felt as if they had gone through a baptism.

This week's program team really put in a lot of effort.

Chi Jingyuan also felt that this group trip was quite meaningful. It seemed to leave a deeper impression on him than playing games in the practice room.

Although going on a trip to watch the sunrise with EXO members was pretty fun, he always felt that something was still missing.

Next time I have the opportunity to travel again, if it's possible, Chi Jingyuan probably won't come with a male companion...

…………

"You feel like you belong to me, but you don't."

I belong to you, yet I don't belong to you.

"What kind of relationship is this"

"..."

In JYP's music room, Park Ji-sung and Suzy Bae were each wearing headphones, standing in front of a microphone. They sang passionately to the accompaniment of music. During the chorus, the two looked into each other's eyes, and the atmosphere noticeably heated up.

Today is January 6th. After filming the variety show in Gangwon-do, Ji Kyeong-yuan returned to Seoul and nervously started preparing for his collaboration single with Bae Soo-ji again. These days, he spends a lot of time practicing with Bae Soo-ji every day.

"It's just the end of a song. Ji-yeong went through the recording he had just made, and after listening to it for a while, she frowned, pondered for a few seconds and organized her words before commenting to IU: "

“The same problem remains, Tzuyu's singing technique has been polished very well, but her voice and tone always feel a little lacking in flavor. I can't hear that kind of teasingly ambiguous feeling I want. The essence of this song lies in this aspect.”

After hearing the comment, Bae Suzy nodded lightly without speaking.

This issue has been raised several times since the duet officially began two days ago. The problem is that she doesn't excel in singing or expressing emotions, even though Ji Jingyuan and the vocal coach have pointed out this issue and offered some solutions. However, until just now, there haven't been any particularly good ideas.

Actually, she's very good at creating ambiguous feelings, it's just that she hasn't quite figured out how to apply them to her singing.

"In that case, Jingyuan is right. This is a duet, and if the emotional expressions of the two sides differ greatly, it's very easy to tell. That's exactly what Sooji lacks now."

Their vocal coach, who was there to guide them today, also chimed in with agreement.

"It's about time, I'll stop here for today. Let's continue tomorrow."

Park Jin-young isn't here, even if he is the producer. Ji-yeong looked at the schedule and announced that work for today was finished.

"Kamsahamnida, you worked hard." Ji Jingyuan and Bae Suzy bowed to the dance teacher and said goodbye. After seeing him off, they tidied up their things, put on their bags and walked out.

"Jingyuan, can you tell me how to make the emotions in my voice fuller"

Pei Suzy walked beside Ji Sung, hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to speak.

"It's easier to find problems with singing technique, but emotion is something you have to feel for yourself."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head. "Singing is a matter of personal talent."

Like Taeyeon, who at less than twenty years old was called a singer with emotionally rich vocals, like someone who had been married several times, is truly gifted.

And Chi Jingyuan, who is also less than twenty years old, can express this ambiguous feeling between men and women very well in his voice and singing style. He is very skilled and has extraordinary talent.

In comparison, Bae Suzy looks a lot worse.

But...

Before Park Soo-ji could be disappointed, Ji Kyeong-won thought for a moment and added, "I think the ambiguity in our song is still pretty easy to express. At least I think it shouldn't be much of a challenge for Soo-ji xi."

Onigiri and reading

"I'll take that as a compliment then..."

Pei Suzy didn't feel embarrassed either. She smiled playfully at Ji Kyeong-won and asked, "Then why can't I express it"

"It's probably because Tzuyu isn't very close to me yet, or maybe it's because someone is around so she's a bit hesitant. Just act like you normally do with me privately, just a little more natural and relaxed."

"Is there a feeling from spending time together privately that's even stronger What kind of feeling is that"

Pei Suzy seemed not to understand, like a novice she tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, staring at Ji Kyeong-won in confusion and asked.

"Hee hee……"

Chi Jingyuan watched the other person's reaction and found it very interesting. He chuckled softly.

Then, just as he seemed to hesitate for a second, he suddenly took a quick step forward and got right in front of Suzy. He leaned in at an angle, his upper body almost touching hers, bringing their faces extremely close together in the blink of an eye.

Their faces were very close, their noses almost touching, as if only two centimeters forward and their lips would collide.

They could clearly see each other's pores, hear each other's breathing, and they could also sense the other person's heartbeat seeming to accelerate slowly.

Ji Jingyuan's eyes met with Bae Suzy's, and after a long moment of gaze, he felt the heat rising in her body. He smiled, taking a step back to a safe social distance, and then gestured at Bae Suzy with his chin: "This is it."

"Inside, I felt…"

"This feeling is pretty good."

Pei Suzy didn't seem surprised at all. She wasn't frightened by Ji Kyung-won's sudden close proximity, instead, she smoothed her hair back and gave a charming smile. Her eyes, like the moon, crinkled at the corners as she smiled sweetly at Ji Kyung-won, and she even theatrically reached out with her right hand to fan herself across her cheek.

"Next time we practice together, I'll try to really immerse myself in it. But if there are still gaps at that point..."

Then I'll think of some individual methods. In any case, we need to speed up our progress.

Qi Jingyuan also tilted his head, smiling as he looked at her.

That's the best.

They looked at each other, and continued walking forward while chatting.

"Jingyuan xi and the others, is everything alright Want to go have a meal together There's a French restaurant nearby that does pretty good food."

While in the elevator, Bae Suzy took the initiative to invite him, and after speaking, she pursed her red lips, looking expectantly at the other person.

"Mi ah ne, today I already have an appointment."

But Chi Jingyuan didn't respond as she expected, instead he laughed and declined her invitation.

"Jǐngyuán xi..."

Pei Suzy heard this reply, her eyes narrowed for a moment, then she smiled at Ji Kyoung-won, her tone strange and suggestive, asking: "Are you playing hard to get with me"

I also hope so....

"Pool Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders, looking indeed somewhat regretful: "But it's a pity, I really made an appointment with someone today."

Then next time.

Pei XiuZhi gently tucked the bangs out of her forehead and behind her ears. She didn't question him further, but simply nodded and smiled at him: "Even if it's a way to manipulate things, you can't keep using it consecutively, right I think based on Jingyuan xi's style, he wouldn't do something like that."

Of course, next time.

Pool Jingyuan didn't argue and agreed.

Then, goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

As the two walked out of the elevator and into the parking lot on the first floor, they waved goodbye to each other. After watching Bae Suzy get into her car and drive away, Park Kyung-won smiled and shook his head, then pulled out his phone from his shoulder bag and sent a message.

It hadn't even been ten seconds since he sent it, and the reply came back almost immediately. After reading it, Ji Jingyuan put on his mask and waited for five minutes before walking out of the building.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw Zhou Tzuyu standing under the street lamp across from me.

She wears a baseball cap, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. A light-colored down jacket paired with warm and casual pants, and white short boots on her feet—she's clearly dressed warmly and full of youthful energy.

It was completely dark outside, but under the lights, Zhou Tzuyu saw Ji Jingyuan who had just walked out immediately. She smiled and waved at him quickly.

"Sorry, I'm ending a bit late today."

Chi Jingyuan walked over quickly, stopped in front of Xia Wen, and switched. He first apologized proactively, then asked with concern: "Are you hungry"

It was already agreed at the beginning of the year that we would have dinner together with Zhou Tzuyu. After coming to JYP these days and getting used to work, Park Jin-young today also messaged her to make an appointment for this evening.

They just got a little carried away with work and lost track of time. By now, it was over an hour past the time they were supposed to meet Zhou Tzuyu.

... Hehehe ...

Hearing from Ji Jingyuan's concern, Zhou Tzuyu didn't answer, just grinning there.

Originally, Ji Jingyuan felt quite guilty for being late. However, the moment he saw Zhou Tzuyu's somewhat silly smile, he couldn't help but want to tease her a bit. He really didn't understand how such a pretty girl could act so clueless every time she faced him:

"No, if you're hungry, you're hungry, and if you're not, you're not. What are you laughing at Am I that funny"

He looked at Zhou Tzuyu, frowning and interrogated.

"..........."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But to his surprise, Zhou Tzuyu laughed even harder after hearing his complaints. She looked at him with a sweet smile, showing her pearly whites, and even her dimples popped out.

"I really..."

Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and covered his forehead, speechless. He sighed and raised his head, directly insulting him: "Stop laughing! With your big, ugly teeth, you look terrible."

As expected, Chi Jingyuan's malicious slander made Zhou Tzuyu stop smiling and couldn't help but hit him: "You're the one with buck teeth, my teeth are very neat."

"Neat, neat…"

Chi Jingyuan said something perfunctory, then motioned for Zhou Tzuyu to lead the way, adding at the same time: "Let's go, you must be hungry. I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant. What do you want to eat"

Zhou Tzuyu took two steps, then stopped in her tracks when she heard his words. She stood there motionless.

"What's wrong"

Chi Jingyuan turned back, looking at her in confusion.

"Didn't we agree that I would be treating you this time"

Zhou Tzuyu's big eyes looked at him, her lower lip slightly curled up, appearing somewhat wronged.

“…………”

池 Jingyuan racked his brains, thinking about where Zhou Tzuyu's grievance came from. After vaguely understanding something, he explained: "It's said that way, but it's definitely not appropriate for a little girl to invite you to dinner."

But Zhou Tzuyu remained unmoved, still stubbornly staring at him.

Chi Jingyuan opened his mouth, helplessly nodded: "Alright, alright, okay, you treat, you treat. Don't just stand there, let's go!"

Zhou Tzuyu only then caught up, walking side by side with Ji Jingyuan.

"You really don't know a good heart when you see one. You're all alone on the peninsula, and I'm trying to help you save some money on living expenses!"

Pool Jingyuan shot a sly glance at Zhou Tzuyu, who was secretly giggling. He said in an irritated tone.

"Who told you to save me money I have plenty of living expenses."

After being attacked for so long, Zhou Tzu-yu finally reached her goal and fought back with a tough response.

"So Tzuyu xi is still a little rich girl" Ji Jingyuan took a good look at Zhou Tzuyu. Her clothes were all student-like, you really couldn't tell what her family was like.

"My mom is super caring, she gives me a lot of living allowance every month. I don't really like to spend it, so I just save it all."

Chou Tzu-yu first explained it with a little bit of pride, then immediately changed her face, frowning and glaring at the other person: "Why do you call me Tzuyu xi again Be respectful to me, Jingyuan xi!"

"You're such a child..." Chi Jingyuan scoffed, then before the other person could retort, he quickly changed the subject. "Where do you want to eat"

There's a Chinese restaurant nearby, I've been there a few times. The food isn't too adapted to local tastes, it's very authentic. Let's go there to eat.

Zhou Tzuyu was indeed distracted, and began introducing the place where they would be eating later:

“This is a summer intern from our company who recommended this to me. I’ll take you to try it, and see if you like it.”

"It's Tzu-yu's recommendation, still Chinese food, then I'll definitely love it."

"Hee hee…"

First release on Traditional Novels Networknths, they didn't perform on stage once. Although there were occasional news reports, it was just a drop in the bucket to quench their thirst.During the lull, many fans who used to vote together every...
