Chapter Thirty-Six: Personal Hobbies

tching Chi Jingyuan get on stage are all getting excited, with screams going back and forth."Chí Jǐngyuán! Chí Jǐngyuán!""Chi Jingyuan! Chi Jingyuan!"Unlike meals, classmates call him by his real name...After a moment of bickering, Ji Jingxu took out two boxes and opened them, handing one to Ji Jingyuan. He said smugly:

"Well, here's your gift. I had it specially made at the neon shop. You can't find anything like it anywhere else in the world."

As soon as Chi Jingyuan opened it, his eyes lit up.

This is a figurine of the classic anime Pokémon. It's the latest large-scale figurine of the fifth generation box art legendaries, Black and White Kyurem.

About 400 cm tall, the image of the two mythical beasts spreading their wings to fly is vivid. The color painting is very good, and shadows have been added to the required parts. There are no obvious dividing lines, which shows that the workmanship is very fine.

Chi Jingyuan has a wide range of hobbies. When he was bored in the past, he preferred playing some Japanese console games and watching anime. Among them, his favorites are "Blue Fat Man" and "Pokémon".

Although I'm getting older and time seems to be flying by, my love for this hasn't diminished much.

The joy brought by childhood hobbies is the most sincere.

"Thanks." Chi Jingyuan nodded and thanked his brother.

It's not something very expensive, but it takes some thought to have it custom-made. And giving this as a gift is exactly what they would appreciate.

Only you would like this kind of thing that only kids like.

Brother Two, Ji Jingxu, complained: "When did you start liking things that adults like Have you started dating recently"

After saying that, Ji Jingxu's face showed curiosity.

"No." Chi Jingyuan pouted.

"Are you serious With your looks and charisma, you've been debuting for over a month and haven't dated anyone yet Not even a female idol has shown you some interest"

"If other idols debuted for a month and fell in love, they would be frozen out by the company."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at his brother disdainfully and then said, “I did receive some kindness, but I haven't been in the mood lately.”

Of course, you're different from ordinary idols.

Chi Jingxu replied as expected, then asked, "Because of your combination"

The combination situation is average, and their debut wasn't very smooth.

"Ah, jjia, I feel tricked by Lee Xiu Man. He told me back then that this group was ** Entertainment's most ambitious boy group of this generation, with each member being the cream of the training system, definitely going to be a hit. Now look at this."

Chi Jingxu frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"What Teacher Li Xiuman said is not wrong, the members of the group are all quite good, they are obviously much better than the members of other small company boy groups, and their average appearance is also quite high. It's just that the debut song wasn't chosen well, and there were problems with the image style design."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, summarized the problems of recent losses, and finally added: "Let's see how the next album will perform. I plan to actively participate in the production of the next album. It can't be like this time again, all the planning from big companies is not reliable."

"Mmm." Chi Jingxu nodded. He didn't care about these things, as long as Chi Jingyuan was satisfied himself.

"By the way, I've already talked to Lee Hwa-man. In a few days, Park Jae-hyun will join ** company and work as your personal assistant exclusively. Besides taking care of your schedule, he will also help you connect with some resources in the film and television industry."

Chi Jingxu recalled the main point and added, “My relatives have a wide network of contacts in the film and television industry, which can provide many opportunities. However, you are a newcomer in this field. Although they can offer opportunities and some help, it ultimately depends on your own efforts to seize them.”

After all, resources are also finite, and people won't give them away for free. If you really want to get them, we need to make some kind of exchange.

"Got it." Chi Jingyuan nodded.

Family will provide help, but he also needs to work hard himself.

After finishing the serious matters, the two brothers chatted for a while longer. Unable to bear his older brother's relentless questions about his relationship, Ji Jingyuan went back to his room to sleep early.

After more than a month away, sleeping in my own bed felt a little strange.

…………

One night passed, and the next morning, sunshine streamed through the window directly into the room.

Chí Jǐngyuán woke up sleepily from the bed and walked to the bathroom to wash his face. After waking up a bit, he frowned at himself in the mirror, his mind feeling a little muddled.

Yesterday he had auditory hallucinations while sleeping.

In his dream, he dreamt of a scene where a group of boys in suits and school uniforms danced in an abandoned factory, singing "Hungry Dragon, Hungry Dragon."

The key point is that all the faces in the clip are people he knows, they're all EXO members, including himself.

The dancing in my dream looked very interesting, and the melody was also very touching.

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, committing the melody to memory and planning to make a demo of it sometime.

This song sounds really good, definitely much better than "MAMA".

Maybe this could help EXO turn things around.

It should be so.

I quickly packed up and took the car back to the company. I still have a case for an ad shoot today.

Advertising shoots are already a piece of cake for Ji Jingyuan, there's no challenge at all.

Compared to having to get ready early in the morning and rush to the TV station for music show recordings, filming commercials is really relaxed, easy money, and fast. No wonder so many artists want to switch to this path.

……

By the evening of May 15th, Ji Jingyuan arrived outside a small apartment building in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam District. After sending a message, he began to wait.

This is the address Sunny sent him yesterday while filming a commercial. It's her own property outside.

Chi Jingyuan looked around. The location of the housing complex was quite good, with high-rise apartment buildings inside. The price must not be cheap.

I wonder if Senior Sunny bought or rented their property here.

Before long, Sunny ran down. She was wearing bright-colored short sleeves and shorts, her short hair styled in braids, her bangs neatly combed, and her makeup was also delicate. She wore a pair of white slippers on her feet, looking full of energy.

"Jingyuan!"

Upon seeing Ji Jingyuan, she broke into a smile and waved him over. After the two greeted each other, Sunny led him into the residential complex. They took several turns before entering a high-rise apartment building.

Walking into the elevator, Sunny pressed the button for the 15th floor. Then, she turned her head back, crossed her arms and leaned against the elevator wall, sizing up Chi Jingyuan from head to toe before nodding in satisfaction.

"You look nice."

"Ugh..."

Ji Jingyuan chuckled, "This sister just loves to talk nonsense. What he wears doesn't matter, he looks good in anything."

Even the bizarre outfits from MAMA can't hide how much

"Does Nuo usually live here by himself" Chi Jingyuan glanced at the well-decorated elevator and asked casually.

"Ani, I usually still live in the dorm. I only come here when it's inconvenient at the dorm."

"Sunny tilted her head and replied, “The other members are the same. The kids are all grown up now, with a lot of private things going on, they definitely need their own space.”

Saying that, Sunny patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder: "I also called a few friends, not all of them are entertainers. I'll introduce you later. Don't leave in a hurry after dinner, stay and chat for a bit."

"I'm not leaving tonight," he said, his voice laced with anger. "If you don't want me to go, I won't." Chi Jingyuan seemed taken aback by her words, a hint of something else lurking beneath the surface.

"Alright, then don't leave. It's just a bit lonely living alone." Sunny senior wasn't afraid at all, looking straight up with a challenging gaze.

Chi Jingyuan laughed out loud and shook his head.

Speaking of which, the two of them really hit it off. They get along very casually and effortlessly, without much formality.

They stood together, Sunny in slippers, a full head shorter than him. Despite her stature, she exuded a powerful aura, not intimidated at all.

Chatting casually, we quickly reached the 15th floor. After stepping out of the elevator and turning left, we arrived at Sunny's apartment in a few steps.

The door was ajar, so I just walked right in.

As soon as I stepped inside, a deep, gravelly voice boomed out:

"Oh my goodness, Sunny, where did you find such a handsome guy when you went out"
