Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tears Flowing

in the air over the past two days.Qi Jingyuan, taking advantage of these few days of free time, also organized his opinions on the song "Roaring" and printed them out on the computer after returning t..."Good god!"

Celebratory music and confetti erupted simultaneously, sending the fans below into a frenzy of cheers.

"Ahhh!!!"

As EXO's comeback date approaches, the number of fans at their music show stages is increasing. In the recent two program recordings, their fan support could be heard clearly, surpassing other groups in volume by a noticeable degree.

As soon as the result was announced, all the members' faces were filled with disbelief, followed by wide smiles. Several excited members clapped their hands excitedly, while others seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, controlling their expressions while tears welled up in their eyes.

After a year and three months of debut, having performed on dozens of music stages and had dozens of hands-on experiences, for the first time, I won first place. After so many failures, finally achieving my wish was like being pulled out of an abyss and seeing the sun's light, such excitement!

Chi Jingyuan was actually very touched in his heart, but he made a great effort to control his expression and stood on the edge of the team smiling and applauding.

But before he could put on a show, Wu Shixun and D.O. from his sides rushed over with excited smiles, grabbed him from both sides and started shaking him vigorously, shouting celebratory cries in his ear while unrestrainedly expressing their joy.

Chi Jingyuan, who was being attacked by two people, directly lost his composure and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He grabbed the shoulders of the two people and shook them together.

At this time, all the artists on stage around were beaming with congratulations. Under the scrutiny of the cameras, they kept clapping their hands incessantly. Those closer even nodded and bowed to the EXO members, looking genuinely happy for them.

Chi Jingyuan's gaze swept across the crowd. As the camera focused on them, several artists standing in the back row were peeking through the gaps in the crowd, clapping their hands and nodding their heads.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, as if he saw himself from the past.

Please give your acceptance speech.

MC stepped aside, making way for all the EXO members in the center of the stage. He also handed a trophy and microphone to Kim Jun Myeon.

"Firstly, I sincerely thank you for receiving this prestigious award. Thank you...to Teacher Lee Hyo-ri...Thank you...to the ** staff....Me...."

Kim Jun-myeon just said something and the whole person's emotions got out of control, he couldn't help but start to choke up.

As the leader, his popularity within the group wasn't very high. During that previous period of decline, he had to worry about his own popularity while also being concerned about the state of the whole group. He also needed to maintain relationships between the members in life. The pressure every day was immense.

These days, he hasn't been able to get a single win, and the team's atmosphere has been really bad. He's actually in a very low mood himself, but he still tries his best to comfort others.

In Ji Jingyuan's heart, Kim Jun-myeon as a leader is really doing a great job.

When Kim Jun-myeon spoke, he choked back several sobs. His words were also very disjointed and incoherent, his voice clearly trembling with crying, and his face was contorted in pain, as if he was about to burst into tears. His expression was completely out of control.

Thank... friends... Thank **Town...

He was just wearing colored contact lenses on stage today, so his tears couldn't come out. So no matter how ugly his expression was, there wasn't a single tear on his face, which looked a bit comical. It made people feel both touched and amused at the same time.

"Brother, you look terrible right now. Don't do this, calm down..."

Park Chan-wook chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, whispering a teasing remark.

The intermittent speech finally came to an end, and under MC's concluding remarks, the accompaniment of "Wolf" sounded, signaling the start of EXO's encore stage.

Before all the other artists had left the stage, EXO turned around and bowed to them as they said their goodbyes.

Ji Jingyuan turned around and saw Zheng Eunji squinting with a wide grin, clapping her hands and smiling at him.

Her collaboration track "Short Hair" with her company mate Xu Ge has also been on the music show schedule these days, and the two have met several times on a few music shows.

As close relatives, Jung Eunji understands the EXO situation and knows how excited Ji Kyungwon must be right now. She is genuinely happy for him. Seeing Ji Kyungwon looking over, she took the initiative to extend her hand with a bright smile: "Congratulations."

"Heh." Chi Jingyuan also reached out and gave her a firm clap, smiling at her.

On stage, Zheng Eun-ji couldn't say anything else. After clapping her hands, she waved and left the stage for the backstage area.

After that, there's an encore stage. This stage doesn't need to be as standardized as the formal one with set choreography. It's mainly for giving back to fans and sharing this joy with them.

"

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

All the members of Encore stood in a line, there was no division into parts at all, they sang together throughout the whole performance with great effort and volume. Each person had a bright smile on their face, enjoying this moment to the fullest.

"Woof…"

"Awoo..."

"Hello there..."

"Hello there…"

The fans below cheered throughout the performance, and for every line EXO sang, they repeated it along, harmonizing with each other. It seemed like the fans were very excited and happy for their idols.

Encore stage ended, the members and fans bowed and said goodbye to each other before returning backstage.

Before, the stage was filled with excitement and joy, with cameras capturing every expression. Now, backstage, the excitement has faded, leaving behind a mix of sighs and bittersweet memories. As soon as I entered the waiting room, a few people broke down in tears.

As soon as Kai entered, he retreated to the corner usually occupied by Chi Jingyuan, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably. He lowered his head and buried his face in his hands, sobbing bitterly. As one of the company's main players on K-Team, he was also the one who was attacked the most online.

Just moments ago, Lay was smiling and waving goodbye to fans. Now, he is full of tears, with Luhan and Tao comforting him by patting his back.

The managers and assistants were also comforting the members. Several assistants crouched in front of Kai, whispering to him.

Chi Jingyuan stood beside him, his smile had vanished, his face was expressionless, while his thoughts were in turmoil.

When she debuted, she was mocked by black fans and even at her meet-and-greets, there were fewer fans than staff members. She spent months with no success on music shows, participating in programs as if she were invisible, recording for hours but only getting less than a minute of airtime after editing.

During performances, there weren't many fans cheering at the bottom of the stage. Whenever a bunch of artists were together, they would always stand in the back row, blocking all the cameras. They could only smile and wave for a few seconds when the camera panned to them, trying to squeeze in through the gaps.

Until today, they finally achieved their first number one hit. They have come a long way.

Feeling a bit of soreness in his eyes, Chi Jingyuan tilted his head back and rubbed his eyes twice, stopping the urge to cry.

He looked around at the members, each with their own distinct expressions, and let out a relaxed sigh.
