ion."After Jingyuan came back, we restarted our album project, and we'll resume filming v from tomorrow.""The set for 《dope》 is finished, and the professional camera company needed for filming has als...Chi Jingyuan read this fan's long comment from beginning to end.
Although the entire text lacks any rhetorical devices and narrates in a straightforward, almost diary-like manner that feels slightly disjointed, it allows him to deeply feel the profound and enduring affection he has for this meal towards EXO, and for himself. 。Ming Ming Chi Jing Yuan, they only did what was within their duty, simply completing the work of their idol. Yet, they are able to receive so much unwavering support and unrequited pursuit from fans. 。An idol, or artist, is truly a magical profession. Though it's tiring, demanding, and fiercely competitive, with most un-popular figures earning little to no money, the presence of fans imbues it with an intoxicating allure. 。Chi Jingyuan liked the post and quietly withdrew, putting his phone into his bag. He sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while. 。He also couldn't be bothered to look at the reactions after they won the award yesterday, that post already told him everything. 。Before long, they boarded the waiting flight and took off directly for Xia Guo. 。After several hours of flight, Ji Jingyuan's plane landed at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. He was surrounded by his team and walked off the plane behind Park Jae-hyun and his assistant. 。"Our partners in mainland China have made all the arrangements for our reception at the airport and booked hotels. We'll go there first to freshen up, and then we'll have three interview activities after an hour or so. Then there will be a brand endorsement event." 。"Pu Zhixian simply told Chi Jingyuan about the itinerary for a while, Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, just nodded to indicate that he knew. " 。The cooperation plan between s and domestic companies has been finalized. After Pool Jingyuan arrives in China, he will first rest at the hotel before immediately starting work. During his time in Xia Guo, he basically won't waste a single minute. 。"Do you want to take the passage" Park Jae-hyun asked. 。"Do you have fans picking you up" Ji Jingyuan thought for a moment, then looked up at him. 。"There's definitely going to be a welcome party. Your itinerary was released by the company a week ago, and with your popularity here, there's bound to be tons of fans coming to greet you." 。“Since there are quite a few fans here, they probably came to see me, so I won't go through the back entrance. I don't really want to disappoint them.” 。After thinking it over, Chi Jingyuan made a decision. 。Okay, I'll let them know. 。Pu Zai Xian nodded, after communicating with the reception staff for a while, he led Chi Jingyuan and his team towards the outside of the airport. 。"No way..." After more than a month away, I returned to the mainland. I wanted to make a good impression on my fans, so I didn't use the VIP channel. However, when Chi Jingyuan walked out of the arrival gate with a smile, I was completely taken aback. The calmness in my heart instantly vanished like clouds. 。At this moment, all he could see was a dark, oppressive void. He had lost count of how many people were surrounding him. A dense crowd of pick-up attendees filled every corner outside the arrival gate, leaving him completely trapped. 。Dozens or even hundreds of security personnel who have worked at the airport for a long time stood nervously, maintaining order. They held hands to form a human wall, their expressions tense and ready for anything. Sweat constantly streamed down their foreheads. 。When they saw Chi Jingyuan walk out from inside, the entire crowd instantly went into a frenzy. All sorts of voices erupted at once, like thunderclaps. 。 。There were those shouting "Yuan," those shouting "Jin Tan," and others who screamed unconsciously, their voices blending together to form a colossal roar that instantly left Chi Jingyuan's eardrums ringing. 。Chi Jingyuan was really a little scared. He knew that he was quite popular here, having experienced it during his last trip to the mainland for an event, but this time was more exaggerated than before. 。When Chi Jingyuan appeared, the people picking him up became somewhat uncontrollable. The crowd surged towards him incessantly, making the security personnel's human wall seem shaky. 。At this time, the reception personnel from the mainland partner hurried up to greet them. After a brief exchange with Park Jae-hyun, everyone formed a circle, firmly protecting Chi Jingyuan inside, and slowly moved outwards step by step. 。Even smiling and greeting, these simple interactions, he was hesitant to do with fans for fear of stimulating their already uncontrollable excitement and causing something bad. 。He regretted not taking the back door, but it was too late now. All he could do was step out carefully under the watchful eyes of his manager, assistant, and driver, bumping and jostling his way into the car before finally letting out a long sigh of relief, feeling like he had been reborn. 。Even Ci Jingyuan, who has a lot of fans himself, rarely sees such a massive gathering. This level of enthusiasm is usually only seen when EXO holds an open-door signing event in the peninsula without tickets. Those events attracted so many people that they blocked traffic and caused quite a stir. 。"Bro, how come there are so many people" Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Jae-hyun who was getting crowded onto the car, feeling a mix of fear and being flattered. 。"What do you think" Park Bo-gum gave him a displeased glance, took a breath and adjusted his clothes which were quite rumpled from the meal. He explained, "You're already popular here because of EXO and 'The Heirs', your previous activities here have also increased the heat..." 。"Also, the company has been investing resources in promotion during this period. After news spread that you had the opportunity to perform at several TV New Year's Eve parties, it caused a sensation. Then, some more mainstream media outlets went down to do some positive publicity for you, shifting the trend and naturally causing the heat to explode." 。"That's it," Chi Jingyuan nodded, also a little breathlessly leaning back in his chair. After thinking for a moment, he added: "Although I don't think it will be of much use, let the company tell the fans through some channels, so they don't need to pick us up, and at the same time pay attention to safety." 。"It might not be of much use, but I will have s issue a statement." 。"Pu Zai Xian smiled and nodded in agreement. Soon, the nanny car started and slowly drove towards the hotel amidst the congested traffic." 。This airport pick-up from Chi Jingyuan's appearance to leaving lasted less than ten minutes, in order to see him, fans and the airport paid some price. 。Afterward, I learned through the news that many flower pots and decorations at the airport were knocked over and trampled. The glass doors were also almost shattered, and some fans were injured in the crowd. 。The mainland fans are really crazy, even more so than the fans on the peninsula, and Park Seo-joon's popularity is evident. 。After connecting with the cooperating companies in mainland China, Chi Jingyuan started his schedule in Xia Guo. Various interviews, site visits, fan meetings, endorsements, and variety shows were lined up one after another, keeping him constantly on the move across Xia Guo's vast territory with almost no downtime. 。Wherever he goes, fans flock to see him, making every event he attends a packed affair. His popularity is truly enviable. 。Learning from the previous pick-up experience, the cooperating companies in mainland China and each brand party involved in the event have prepared a considerable number of security personnel. This to some extent prevents the possibility of untoward incidents occurring. 。Although his schedule is very packed and he hasn't had much time to rest, Chi Jingyuan doesn't feel tired at all. He finds the activities here quite comfortable. There are no stages or rehearsals required; most of them are interviews, filming, and promotional events. 。Some brand booths only need to be present for fifteen minutes, smile at the camera, and they can get rewards far higher than those on the Peninsula side. 。Compared to the Peninsula itinerary, this one is already very relaxed, and the returns are not of the same level. 。Besides these activities, some popular variety shows have been constantly inviting him. After screening by the company, he chose to participate in recording several programs with high popularity and relatively great influence. 。"Jingyuan is an old friend of ours. He has been on our show before with his EXO members, and they were already incredibly popular back then." 。"Yeah, that's right, when I first saw him, I was really taken aback. He was so handsome, and his figure and charisma were amazing. Really, I'm not lying. At the time, Jingyuan was still a newcomer, and the moment I met him, I knew he would definitely become popular. " 。"Chi Jingyuan is currently standing on the stage of a very popular variety show at Xiangnan Television, participating in the recording of the program. The seats below are already filled with viewers who came after hearing the news. Because this episode's guest is him, there are many people here, and at a glance, even the aisles are full of extra chairs." 。And several hosts were taking turns praising Chi Jingyuan beside him, and their tone was very familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time. 。They weren't wrong, after all. EXO had participated in this program not long after their debut last year. However, the main focus of that episode was EXO, and Ji Chang Wook was just there to add some excitement, a supporting role, if you will. He just briefly greeted a few hosts. 。Hearing all the compliments flying around, Chi Jingyuan flashed a bashful smile, looking somewhat embarrassed. This expression caused another wave of screams from below. 。"I heard that Jingyuan's summer writing is very good, I wonder if it's true" The male host blinked his eyes at this time, and asked with some suspicion. 。Completely aware, Chi Jingyuan just chatted with Xia Wen and the others backstage for a while. They went over the script for a long time. 。But this plot point is very necessary. When participating in activities within China, Xia Wen's ability to speak Mandarin really is a huge advantage. It makes many people feel naturally close to him. Since Chi Jingyuan lived in China for a long time as a child, it further allows the audience to feel a sense of identification with him. 。Actually, the news that he speaks Chinese and has lived in mainland China isn't a secret. It was exposed a long time ago. However, the information didn't spread widely before, only reaching his fans. Many latecomers who weren't familiar with him had no idea. 。And now, due to various reasons, his popularity and attention have risen again. In order to allow new fans to understand him better, this program is taking advantage of the current situation to promote him. 。It should be true. 。Under the camera's follow shot, Chi Jingyuan blinked and said clearly into the microphone, in very standard Mandarin. The many people below who were hearing this news for the first time gasped. 。"Oh, that's great! It's really standard summer writing." 。“He said it better than we did. When we talked about Xiawen, we still had a bit of dialect in our pronunciation, but Jingyuan’s pronunciation didn't have any of that at all, it sounded completely like a local.” 。"The two hosts beside him gasped in surprise, covering their mouths with their hands. They looked shocked and a bit over-the-top." 。To be honest, Ji Jingyuan isn't quite used to their way of making shows, but he'll definitely go along with it and participate. 。"Can it only hear and speak" the male host asked again. 。"Read and write are no problem" 。"Chi Jingyuan shook his head, explaining and popularizing science at the same time: “I lived in Xia Guo for many years when I was a child. I only moved away during middle school.” 。"Really Wow, I didn't know Jingyuan went to school here before! This is the first time I'm hearing about it!" The female host's exaggerated tone almost made Ji Jingyuan believe she had just found out. 。"Did the audience just find out about this news too" She held the microphone up to the audience and loudly asked. 。"Yes!" The audience was very face-saving and responded in unison. 。"Having lived in mainland China for so long, what's the most impressive thing Jingyuan has found about our side" The host asked a question that many viewers were very interested in. 。"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment, as if organizing his words, then said seriously: "When it comes to memorable impressions, I think it's probably the food and culture." 。“When I hear about delicious food, there are just too many options! After transferring schools, I wasn't used to the food for a long time. Later on, whenever I arrived in a new place, I would specifically go to the most famous Chinese restaurants there to try them out, hoping to taste authentic Xia Guo cuisine and find that feeling from my childhood.” 。With a microphone in hand, Chi Jingyuan smiled as he recounted his thoughts, a clear look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. Many watching couldn't help but smile with warmth and a touch of pride. 。"What about the cultural aspect" The host promptly followed up with a humorous response. 。“This one is a bit hard to express…” Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, seeming a little stumped. After considering for two seconds, he continued, “I feel it’s an indescribable feeling. Everything here, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, reflects a unique and ancient culture. Being in this land, you clearly feel how small you are, and it makes you realize that there is still so much you need to learn.” 。“Applause……………….” After Chi Jingyuan's voice fell, the audience erupted in thunderous and enthusiastic applause. 。Chi Jingyuan didn't directly flatter, but instead spoke of his own more realistic feelings. But many people really bought into it. Under his words, a sense of pride arose, and while he felt refreshed, he also had a deeper sense of recognition for the person in front of him. 。Since Jingyuan understands Xia culture so well, and speaks Xia language so fluently, I wonder if he is familiar with our country's ancient poems and songs" Several hosts also applauded, and then the conversation moved on to the next topic. 。Of course, I will memorize many ancient poems. 。“Chi Jingyuan smiled confidently and said,” 。"Really Then which one is your favorite" Several hosts wore expressions of disbelief, while the audience was also intrigued by this topic. 。"I like so many things, I can't even begin to list them." 。"Chi Jingyuan held the microphone for a long time, then let out a wry smile." 。"This answer is too sly! No, let's set a limit. Let's just talk about ancient poems about scenery. Which one does Jingyuan like the most" "Hmm..." He looked up and thought for a moment, then smiled at the camera: "As for scenery... I have two that I like very much. The moon was bright back then, illuminating the colorful clouds returning" 。"And also, the “Falling-Willow Pavilion Preface” has 'The setting sun and the lone wild goose flying together, autumn water sharing the vast expanse of the sky with one color' " 。Let's just say these two lines. 。"Oh..." When Chi Jingyuan recited two lines of ancient poetry in a proper and elegant manner, a burst of admiration arose from below. 。Although some viewers in the audience were initially skeptical of what he had just said, hearing Chi Jingyuan recite two poems effortlessly using Xia Wen's voice made them nod in agreement. 。This kid really didn't exaggerate. 。Jingyuan actually knows "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" This article is very difficult to memorize, and it's really hard to understand. Like Atao, I know he definitely wouldn't memorize it 。"The host exclaimed in surprise, then pointed to another male host beside him, using him as an example." 。The host who was called immediately wore a bitter expression and nodded sheepishly. 。"The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng is okay, it's not that difficult." 。"Chí Jǐngyuán blinked, seemingly not understanding the host's surprise. His tone was a little puzzled: "It's in high school Chinese textbooks, isn't it I learned it myself back then." 。“Self-taught...” The several hosts looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a long silence, they couldn't help but laugh along with the audience. 。"Jingyuan, I watched your performance just now. You have a great stage presence. You weren't timid at all on such a big stage. You truly live up to being my younger brother." 。"Did you see that too" "Of course, but only the part where you appeared." 。Hearing his elder sister's words, Chi Jingyuan smiled a little embarrassedly. He wouldn't feel any nervous emotions when performing in front of the audience and fans, but he couldn't help feeling a bit awkward when performing on stage in front of family. 。Today is January 31st, at dawn, the traditional Lunar New Year's Eve in the Xia Kingdom cultural circle. 。No, that's not right. Even after midnight, it would still be New Year's Eve. Chi Jingyuan's performance was already finished, he had just come out of the New Year's Eve party venue and was preparing to return to the hotel for a rest. At this moment, he was on the nanny car, using his phone to video chat with his older sister, Chi Xianjing. 。He had originally planned to call, but since he hadn't seen his elder sister in a while, he turned on the video chat at her request. Seeing his sister after days apart, Ji Jingyuan felt very happy inside. 。This year, I didn't go home for the New Year but was instead running around on a schedule. To be honest, he's not really used to it. Before, when he told his second brother that he wouldn't be going back this New Year, he got a lot of teasing and complaints from him. 。Chi Xianjing was obviously missing her most beloved younger brother as well. The usually composed and serious businesswoman, in front of outsiders, spoke to him for half a day, showing concern and asking about his well-being. 。"By the way, your second brother told me that your final exams in college weren't very good. What happened" As they chatted, the elder sister brought up a topic that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to talk about at all. 。"I..." Faced with his second brother's incessant chatter, Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes helplessly. He started to explain in a somewhat awkward manner: "Nuna, my final exam results are pretty good, I reached the target." 。But the overall evaluation of the school also takes into account your regular performance throughout the year. Things like classroom participation and group activities all have points assigned to them and are factored in. You know, I don't have time for that stuff usually..." Ji Jingyuan sounded innocent, giving the impression of "I've really tried my best, but the school's grading system is flawed." 。"Oh You have time to date girls, you have time to stay overnight at our family's property, but you don't have time to go to school" The elder sister looked at Ji Jingyuan with a smile on her face, but her words left him speechless. 。He could figure out that his older sister knew about his relationship just by thinking with his rear end. He was speechless, no, as your brother, Chi Jingxu, how could you be so talkative 。"Hahaha..." Seeing her younger brother's face as if he had touched something dirty, Ji Hyun-jeong laughed happily. Her brother's embarrassed expression was really amusing. 。After laughing, Chi Xianjing waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's just your job. Your second brother will go to communicate with the school over there, there's no problem... By the way, when can you go home" "After this party, I remember I don't have much of a schedule, probably in these two days." 。"After a moment's thought, Chi Jingyuan replied," 。"Okay, then let's talk when you get back." 。"Well, nuna goodbye, and by the way happy new year." 。"Our Jingyuan is really considerate. Happy New Year!" 。Waving goodbye with a smile, he ended the video call. After that, Chi Jingyuan saw several blessing text messages from his friends. He opened them and replied to each one in turn. 。This year, EXO did not take a holiday for Lunar New Year like they did last year, but continued their schedule. 。The peninsula doesn't treat Lunar New Year as much as China does. It's just considered one of the more important holidays, and it's normal that there are no days off. Plus, EXO's popularity is skyrocketing right now, so they have even more invitations during this time. 。At this time, the other members of EXO should be at Wanyi. They are going to participate in TV's Super Star Red and White Arts Festival today. This is a New Year's Eve party there. 。A few days ago, when I was communicating with my manager, Li Cheng Huan, he said that TV Taiwan invited the whole EXO to perform and offered a very good fee. 。But as the team's most popular member, and because Park Seo-joon, who became a sensation across Asia thanks to "The Heirs," couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts, the organizers were very unhappy. They communicated with S agency several times, hoping that Park Seo-joon could find time to attend the event, even if it meant increasing his performance fee. However, after consideration by S agency, all requests were rejected, leaving the organizers quite dissatisfied. 。And also, the Idol Sports Championship side is scheduled to air a Lunar New Year special on January 30th and 31st yesterday and today, both of which have invited Park Bo Gum and EXO. 。The fact that Ji Jingyuan himself is a major attraction of "Odd Sports Meet," many people are very interested in his dominance in archery. Every time he appears, the viewership of this variety show reaches its peak recently. Coupled with Jin Tan's popularity, the "Odd Sports Meet" program team has long been hoping that Ji Jingyuan can help them create another ratings peak in this episode. 。It's a shame that the recording time for this New Year's special issue coincided with Ji Jingyuan's flight from the Peninsula to Xia Guo. The company attaches great importance to Ji Jingyuan's schedule in Xia Guo, even though the "Idol Games" program team was very sincere and invited him repeatedly, he was rejected by the company. 。The other EXO members participated in the recording, but according to Kim Junmyeon, they didn't even make it past the first round of the men's archery competition without Ji-young. So EXO missed out on a three-peat in ’s archery event, which is really unfortunate. 。However, this also reflects the true archery skills of the other members of XO. In the previous two episodes, 池景源 brought them to a level that was completely beyond their reach. This time, they have shown their true colors, which is beneficial for them to recognize their true abilities. 。Unknowingly, it was another year's Spring Festival. Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the nanny car by the window, lowering the window halfway. He looked at the street scene outside which was still a bit lively, feeling the piercing cold wind blowing past, his Liuhai flying up messily on his forehead. For a moment, he felt a little sentimental. 。Last year during Chinese New Year, it snowed. He remembered walking in the garden at his home at that time, chatting with his older sister from Girls' Generation. 。Time really flies by……………… Chi Jingyuan is still somewhat optimistic. The promise he made to his older sister that they could go home in two days is probably going to be delayed. 。After the Lunar New Year, the impact of his recent participation in activities and variety shows, as well as the effects of the gala, caused his popularity to skyrocket. He received numerous invitations for various events, with offers getting more and more outrageous, almost overwhelming him. 。Faced with huge profits, s and this side discussed it and then temporarily changed the plan, delaying Chi Jingyuan's return time, and taking on many more itineraries, each of which was carefully selected, and the invitations were extremely generous. 。Although Chi Jingyuan was somewhat dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. 。His income from the Xia Guo side is not shared with XO members, and his share with the company is much higher than the peninsula's side. Although he is not short of money, he wouldn't complain about having more. 。And the fans here are really too enthusiastic, making him a little overwhelmed and surprised. He feels guilty if he doesn't reciprocate by showing his face more often. 。His over half-month trip to Xia Guo finally came to an end after being postponed for a week. 。Originally, I was a little reluctant. But on one hand, JYP was urging me very strongly, and his collaboration with Suzy was about to begin soon. 。The second reason is that Qi Jingyuan has been quite popular here these days, which has caused some dissatisfaction. After all, he's an outsider who's come to take what others have worked hard for. It's better to know when to stop. 。Moreover, EXO's comeback plan has been underway for a while now, and many things require participation from Park Chanyeol in the preparation of the new album. 。After making the decision, Chi Jingyuan took a plane on February 8th morning and returned to the peninsula with his team. 。
Chi Jingyuan read this fan's long review from beginning to end.
Despite the lack of any rhetorical devices and a straightforward narrative that reads like a diary, somewhat messy at times, he deeply felt from it the profound connection this meal held for EXO and himself, a feeling that was deep and lasting. 。Mingming and Chi Jingyuan, they only did what was within their duties. They were just completing the work of their idols, yet they received so much unwavering support from fans who relentlessly followed them without expecting anything in return. 。Idols, or entertainers, are truly a fascinating profession. While it can be incredibly demanding, tiring, and fiercely competitive with most lacking popularity and earning little, the presence of fans imbues it with an undeniably captivating allure. 。Chi Jingyuan liked the post and quietly backed out, putting his phone into his bag and sitting on the sofa for a while in a daze. 。He was too lazy to look at the responses about their winning the big prize yesterday, that post had already told him everything. 。Before long, they boarded the waiting flight and headed straight for Xia Guo. 。After several hours of flight, Chi Jingyuan's plane landed at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. He was surrounded by his team as he walked off the plane behind Park Jae-hyun and his assistant. 。"Our cooperating companies in mainland China have already made reception arrangements at the airport and booked hotels. We'll go there first to freshen up. In over an hour, there will be three interview activities, followed by a brand endorsement." 。"Puk Jae-hyun simply told Chi Jingyuan about the schedule for a while, Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, just nodded to indicate that he knew." 。s and the domestic cooperating companies have already made a complete plan. After Chi Jingyuan arrives, he will first rest at the hotel before immediately starting work. During his time in Xia Guo, every minute of his time will basically not be wasted. 。"Do you want to go through the passage" Park Jae-hyun asked. 。"Are you being picked up by fans" Ji Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at him. 。"Of course there will be. Your itinerary was already released by the company a week ago. With your popularity and hype here, there's bound to be fans picking you up at the airport, and a lot of them." 。"Since there are quite a few fans here, they probably came to see me, so I won't go through the back entrance. I wouldn't want to disappoint them." 。“After some thought, Chi Jingyuan made a decision.” 。Okay, I'll let them know. 。Park Jae-hyun nodded, then communicated with the receptionist for a bit before leading Jiyeong and her team towards the airport's exit. 。"No way…" After more than a month, he came back to mainland China. He originally wanted to leave a good impression on his fans, so he didn't use the VIP channel. However, when Chi Jingyuan walked out of the arrival gate with a smile, he was taken aback by the scene before him. The calmness in his heart instantly vanished. 。At this moment, all he saw was a pitch-black darkness. He had lost count of how many people were around him. A dense crowd of people had filled every corner outside the arrival gate, leaving him completely surrounded. 。Scores of airport security personnel, who had been on duty for many hours already, nervously maintained order. They stood hand in hand, forming a human wall, their faces etched with tension as they waited anxiously, sweat beading on their foreheads. 。When they saw Chi Jingyuan emerge from inside, the entire crowd instantly went wild. A cacophony of sounds erupted like thunder. 。Those who use Chinese names and those who use Korean "oppa." 。There were shouts of "Yuan," cries of "Jin Tan," and some indistinct, unconscious screams. A cacophony of sounds converged into a deafening roar that momentarily stunned Chi Jingyuan's eardrums. 。Chi Jingyuan was really taken aback. He knew he was quite popular here, having experienced it during his last trip to the mainland for an event, but this time was even more exaggerated than before. 。Seeing Chi Jingyuan appear, the guests who came to pick him up seemed a little out of control. The crowd started surging towards him non-stop, making the security guard's wall seem shaky. 。At this time, the personnel responsible for receiving from the inland partner rushed up, exchanged a few words with Park Jae-hyun briefly, and then a group of people formed a circle, firmly protecting Ji Jingyuan inside, and slowly moving outward step by step. 。Even smiling and waving, these simple interactions, Ji Jingyuan was hesitant to do with fans, for fear of stimulating their already out-of-control excitement and causing something unpleasant. 。He regretted not taking the back entrance, but it was too late now. He could only squeeze out step by step under the close protection of his manager, assistant, and pick-up staff, stumbling and bumping all the way before finally heaving a sigh of relief as he got into the car. It felt like he had been reborn. 。Even Pyo Ji-seong wouldn't see this level of fan gathering. It's comparable to the few times EXO held ticketless fan signings on the peninsula before, where so many people showed up that it caused traffic jams and a huge stir. 。"Bro, why are there so many people" Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Jae-hyun getting on the crowded bus, feeling a mix of apprehension and flattered. 。“What do you think” Park Bo Gum glared at him, took a breath to compose himself and smoothed down his clothes that were rumpled from the meal. He explained, “You already have high popularity here because of EXO and ‘The Heirs,’ and your previous activities here also increased the heat.” 。"During this period, the company has also been investing resources in publicity. Especially after the news that you had the opportunity to perform at several television station year-end parties spread out, it caused a sensation. Then, several more formal media outlets interviewed you and did some positive publicity, shifting the trend, and naturally, the popularity exploded." 。"That's it..." Chi Jingyuan nodded, slightly out of breath as he leaned back in his chair. After a moment of thought, he added: "Although I don't think it will be of much use, it's still better to let the company tell the fans through some channels that they don't need to pick him up and to pay attention to safety." 。"It might not be of much use, but I'll have s issue a statement." 。"Puzai Xian smiled and nodded in agreement. Soon, the nanny car started up and slowly drove towards the hotel through the congested traffic." 。This airport pick-up from Chi Jingyuan's appearance to leaving lasted less than ten minutes, and in order to see him, fans and the airport both paid some price. 。Afterward, I learned through the news that many flower pots and decorations at the airport had been knocked over and trampled. The glass doors were also nearly shattered, and some fans were bumped on the head and injured in the crowd. 。Domestic fans are really crazy, even more so than fans on the peninsula, and Park Seo-joon's popularity is evident. 。After the collaboration with domestic companies was finalized, Chi Jingyuan began his itinerary in Xia Guo. Interviews, site visits, fan meet-and-greets, endorsements, and variety shows followed one after another, keeping him constantly on the move across the vast expanse of Xia Guo. There was hardly any time to rest. 。Wherever he goes, fans flock to see him, making every event a packed house. The heat surrounding him is truly enviable. 。Learning from the lessons of previous pick-up experiences, the cooperating companies in mainland China and the brand partners for each event have all prepared a considerable number of security personnel. This has helped to prevent potential problems from arising to some extent. 。Although the schedule is very packed and he barely has any time to rest, Ji Jingyuan doesn't feel tired at all. He finds that the activities here are quite comfortable; there aren't any stages or special rehearsals involved. Most of it consists of interviews, filming, and fan meetings. 。Some brand booths only need to be present for fifteen minutes, smile at the camera, and they can earn rewards far higher than those on the Peninsula side. 。Compared to the itinerary of the peninsula, this one is already very relaxing, and the returns are not of the same level. 。Besides these activities, some popular variety shows also constantly invite him. After the company's screening, he chose to participate in recording a few programs with high popularity and relatively large influence. 。"Jingyuan is a good friend of ours. He has been on our show before as part of EXO with his members, and back then their popularity was already sky-high." 。"Yes, you're right. When I first saw him, I was really stunned. He was so handsome, and his body and charisma were incredible. Seriously, I'm not lying. At the time, Jingyuan was still a newcomer, but when I met him for the first time, I knew he would definitely become famous." 。Chi Jingyuan was currently standing on the stage of a very popular variety show at Hunan TV, participating in a recording. The audience area below was filled with viewers who had come to see him after hearing the news. This episode's guest was him, so there were many people who came to watch, and even the aisles were filled with extra chairs. 。And several hosts were taking turns praising the pool scene nearby, and their tone was very familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time. 。They weren't wrong, either. Exo participated in this program shortly after their debut last year, but the protagonist of that episode was Exo, and Ji Chang Wook just came along to stir up the excitement. He was just a supporting character, chatting briefly with some of the hosts. 。Listening to the flattery flying around, Chi Jingyuan revealed a shy smile, looking a little embarrassed. This expression caused another wave of screams from below. 。"I heard that Jingyuan's summer writing is very good, I wonder if it's true" The male host blinked at this moment, questioning with a hint of doubt. 。 。But this plot point is very necessary. When it comes to activities in mainland China, Xia Wen's ability to speak the language is a huge advantage. It makes her naturally relatable to many people. And because Chi Jingyuan lived in mainland China for a long time as a child, it will further create a sense of identification for the audience. 。Actually, it's no secret that he speaks Chinese and has lived in mainland China. This information has been exposed for a while now, but it didn't spread widely before. It only reached his fans, and many newcomers who started following him later were completely unaware of it. 。And now because of various reasons, his popularity and attention have risen again. In order to let new fans understand him better, this program is a good opportunity to promote him. 。It should be true. 。Under the camera's follow shot, Chi Jingyuan blinked and said to the microphone in clear Mandarin, a standard pronunciation. Hearing this news for the first time, many people below exclaimed. 。"Oh, that's fantastic! It's really quintessential summer writing." 。"He sounds more natural than us. When we talk about Xiawen, we still use some dialect, but Jingyuan's pronunciation doesn't have any of that at all; it sounds like a native speaker." 。The two hosts beside her gasped in surprise, covering their mouths with their hands, looking shocked and exaggerated. 。To be honest, Ji Jingyuan wasn't quite used to the way they made their show. But he was going with the flow and would definitely cooperate. 。"Can you only listen and speak" the male host asked again. 。"Read and write are no problem" 。“Chi Jingyuan shook his head and explained, “I lived in Xia Guo for many years when I was a child. I only transferred out when I was in middle school.” 。"Really Wow, so Jingyuan went to school here before I had no idea!" The female host's exaggerated tone almost made Ji Jingyuan believe she was just finding out. 。"So, are the audience members just finding this out right now too" She then held up the microphone and loudly asked the audience. 。"Yes!" The audience responded politely and in unison. 。"Having lived in mainland China for so long, what impression does Jingyuan have of our side" The host asked a question that many viewers were very interested in. 。"Well..." Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment, as if organizing his words, then said earnestly: "Speaking of what impressed me, I think it would have to be the food and culture." 。When it comes to good food, there are just too many delicious options. After transferring schools, I wasn't used to the food for quite some time. Later on, whenever I arrived in a new place, I would specifically go to the most famous Chinese restaurants there to try their signature dishes, hoping to taste authentic Xia Guo cuisine and find that feeling from my childhood. 。"Chi Jingyuan held the microphone and smiled as he recounted his thoughts, a clear look of reminiscence in his eyes. Many watching couldn't help but smile with warmth and pride." 。"And what about culture" the host chimed in with a timely quip. 。"This aspect is a bit hard to express..." Qi Jingyuan pursed his lips, seeming a little stumped. After considering for two seconds, he continued, "I feel it's a feeling that can't be put into words. Everything here, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, reflects a unique and ancient culture. When you're in this land, you'll clearly feel how small you are, and you'll realize that there's still so much you need to learn." 。“Applause……………” After Chi Jingyuan’s voice fell, there was a thunderous and enthusiastic applause from below. 。Chi Jingyuan didn't directly flatter, but instead expressed his more genuine feelings. Surprisingly, many people were taken in by this approach. Under his words, a sense of pride emerged, bringing him both comfort and a newfound respect for the person before him. 。"Since Jingyuan understands Xia culture so well, and speaks Xia language so fluently, I wonder if he is familiar with our country's ancient poetry and prose" Several hosts also clapped along, after which the conversation moved on to the next topic. 。Of course, I'll memorize a lot of ancient poems. 。"Chí Jǐngyuán smiled and confidently said, " 。"Really Then which one is your favorite" Several hosts wore expressions of disbelief, while the audience members were also intrigued by this topic. 。"I have too many favorites, I can't even begin to list them." 。"Chi Jingyuan held the microphone for a long time, then let out a wry smile." 。"This answer is too sly! No, let's limit it. Let's just talk about poems about scenery. Which line does Jingyuan like best" "Um..." He raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled at the camera: "When it comes to scenery... I have two lines that I particularly like. One is: 'The bright moon was there in times past, illuminating the colorful clouds returning.'" 。And also, in "The Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" by Wang Bo, the lines: "Falling crimson clouds and a lone wild goose fly together, autumn waters blend with the vast expanse of the sky as one color." 。Here are those two sentences. 。"Oh..." When Chi Jingyuan recited those two lines of ancient poetry in a clear and melodious voice, there was an immediate wave of applause from the audience below. 。Some viewers still didn't believe what he had just said, but when they heard Chi Jingyuan recite the two poems effortlessly with Xia Wen's voice, they couldn't help but nod in agreement. 。This kid really didn't brag. 。"Jingyuan actually knows 'The Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion' That article is very difficult to memorize, and it's really hard to understand. Like Atao, I know he definitely wouldn't be able to recite it" 。The host exclaimed in surprise, then pointed to another male host beside him, using him as an example. 。The host, immediately called upon, grimaced and nodded sheepishly. 。"The Preface to the Teng Wang Pavilion is okay, it's not that difficult." 。"Chi Jingyuan blinked, seeming to not understand the host's surprise, his tone a bit puzzled: 'It's in high school Chinese textbooks, isn't it I taught myself back then.'" 。"Self-study... " The hosts looked at each other, unsure what to say. After a long silence, they couldn't help but laugh along with the audience. 。"...Jingshen, I watched your performance just now, you were amazing on stage. You weren't nervous at all despite the size of the stage, truly worthy of being my brother..." 。"Have you seen it too" "Of course, but I only watched the part where you appeared." 。Hearing his older sister's words, Chi Jingyuan smiled a little awkwardly. He wouldn't feel any nervous emotions performing in front of the audience and fans, but he couldn't help feeling a bit awkward when performing on stage in front of his family. 。Today is January 31st, in the early morning. It is traditionally the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar in the Xia Guo cultural circle. 。It’s not right, after midnight it's already the first day. Chi Jingyuan's performance is already finished, he just came out of the New Year's Eve party venue and was preparing to return to the hotel to rest. At this moment, he is on the nanny car, using his phone to video chat with his older sister, Chi Xianjing>>> 。He was originally going to call, but since he hadn't seen his older sister in a while, he turned on the video at her request. Seeing his older sister after many days, Chi Jingyuan was very happy inside. 。This year, I didn't go home for Chinese New Year but was instead busy with my schedule. To be honest, it really felt strange. Before this, when I told my second older brother that I wouldn't be going back for the holiday, he gave me a bunch of complaints and nagged me about it. 。Chien-ching was also clearly missing her most beloved younger brother. The usually composed and serious businesswoman, who rarely showed emotion in public, talked with him for ages, asking about his well-being and chatting affectionately. 。"By the way, your second brother told me that you did poorly on your final exams in college. What's the matter" As they were chatting, elder sister brought up a topic that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to discuss at all. 。"I..." Facing his brother's incessant chatter, Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes helplessly. He felt a little awkward and began to explain: "Nuna, I did well on my last final exam. I met the target." 。"But the school's overall evaluation still considers your performance throughout the year, things like classroom participation and group activities are all scored and added in. You know, do I have time for that kind of stuff..." Qi Jingyuan sounded innocent, giving the impression of 'I really tried my best, but the school's grading system is flawed.' 。"Oh You have time to date girls, you have time to stay overnight at our family's property, but you don't have time for school" The elder sister smiled sweetly at Ji Jingyuan, but her words left him speechless. 。He knew, with his butt, how his older sister knew about his relationship. He was speechless. Seriously, you, Ji Jingxu, as a brother, how can your mouth be so loose 。"Hahaha…" Seeing her younger brother's face contorted as if he had touched something disgusting, Ji Hyun-jeong burst into laughter. It was really amusing to see him so defeated. 。After the laughter subsided, Chi Xianjing waved her hand: "It's nothing, your profession is like that. Your second brother will go to communicate with the school side, there shouldn't be any problem... By the way, when can you go home" "I remember after this party, I don't have much of a schedule, it should be these two days." 。"Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, then replied:" 。"Alright, then we'll talk when you get back." 。“Well, nuna see you later. Oh, and Happy New Year.” 。"“Inside, our Jingyuan is really sensible, Happy New Year” 。Smiling and waving goodbye to his older sister, after closing the video, Chi Jingyuan saw several congratulatory text messages from his friends. He opened them and took a look, then replied to each one in turn. 。This year, EXO didn't have a holiday for Chinese New Year like last year, but they continued their schedule. 。The Korean Peninsula doesn't place as much importance on Lunar New Year as countries in summer, it's just considered one of the more important holidays, so not having a holiday is normal. Plus, EXO's popularity is sky-high right now, so they have even more invitations coming their way around this time. 。At this time, the other members of EXO should be at Wannee. They are going to attend the "Super Star Red and White Entertainment Awards" on TVBS today. This is a New Year's Eve party there. 。The other day when I was talking to my manager, Lee Seung-hwan, he said that TV Taiwan invited the whole of EXO to perform and offered a very good fee. 。But as the most popular member of the team, and because Park Seo-joon, who became famous throughout Asia thanks to "The Heirs", couldn't attend due to scheduling conflicts, the organizers were very unhappy. They communicated with s several times, hoping that Park Seo-joon could make time to attend this event, even offering to increase his performance fee. However, after consideration by s, all requests were rejected, leaving the organizers quite disappointed. 。And also, the "Idol Sports Championships" side is scheduled to broadcast a New Year's special edition on yesterday and today, January 30th and 31st, which also invited Ji Chang-wook and EXO. 。The highlight of "Oddly Fun Games" itself is Chi Jingyuan, many people are interested in his dominance in the archery event. Every time he appears, it becomes the highest peak of ratings for the show in recent periods. Coupled with Jin Tan's popularity, the program team of "Oddly Fun Games" has been looking forward to Chi Jingyuan helping them create another ratings peak this episode. 。It's a shame that the recording time for this New Year special coincided with Ji Jingyuan's flight from the Peninsula to Xia Guo. The company attaches great importance to Xia Guo's itinerary, even though the "Idol Games" program team was very sincere and invited him several times, the company declined. 。The other EXO members did participate in the recording, but as Kim Jun Myeon mentioned the other day, without Ji Chang Wook, their male group archery competition didn't even make it past the first round of qualifying. This means EXO couldn't achieve a three-peat win in the archery event at It's truly unfortunate. 。However, this also reflects the true archery skills of other members of XO. In the previous two episodes, 池景源 brought them to a level that didn't belong to them at all. This time, they've shown their true colors, which is beneficial for them to recognize their own true abilities. 。Unconsciously, it's the Spring Festival again. Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the nanny's car by the window, rolled down the window half way, and looked at the bustling street scene outside. The cold wind blew past, making his bangs fly around chaotically. For a moment, he felt a little sentimental. 。Last year's Spring Festival, he remembered it snowing. At that time, he seemed to be walking in the garden at home, chatting with his older sister from Girls' Generation. 。Time really flies... Chi Jingyuan is still somewhat optimistic, his promise to his older sister that they could go home in two days is probably going to be delayed. 。After the Lunar New Year, the influence of the activities and variety shows he participated in recently, as well as the effects of the gala, caused his popularity to skyrocket. He received invitations for various programs, with each offer more outrageous than the last, almost overwhelming him. 。Faced with immense profits, s and this side discussed and then temporarily changed the plan, delaying Chi Jingyuan's return time, and taking on a lot more itineraries, each one carefully selected, paying extravagantly for the invitations. 。Although Qi Jingyuan was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything. 。His income from his activities in Xia Guo is not shared with the XO members, and his company's share is also much higher than on the peninsula. Although he is not short of money, he would not say he has too much. 。And the fans here are really too enthusiastic, making him a little overwhelmed and flattered. He feels guilty if he doesn't reciprocate by showing his face more. 。It was not until a week later that he formally concluded his more than half-month trip to Xia Guo. 。I was a little reluctant at first, but on one hand, JYP was pushing really hard and his collaboration with Suzy is about to begin. 。The second reason is that Chi Jingyuan has been quite prominent here these days, which has caused some dissatisfaction among people. After all, he is an outsider who came to take food from their bowl. So it's better to know when to stop. 。And EXO's comeback project has been underway for a while now, and the preparation for the new album truly wouldn't be complete without Park Chanyeol. He needs to participate in many things. 。After making the decision, Chi Jingyuan boarded a plane on the morning of February 8th and returned to the peninsula with his team. 。
