Chapter Sixteen: I Am Your Meal

t 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 w..."...Hearing Sunny's words, Ji-seong couldn't help but fall silent for a moment. He sensed her feelings of affection and helplessness towards the members, as well as her pride and self-assurance in the name 'Girls' Generation'.

"

Sunny's words made Ji-seong ponder. From them, he seemed to grasp that "Girl's Generation" represents more than just the honor of being the most successful girl group on the peninsula. It's a deeper emotion connected to keywords like "joy," "contradiction," "growth," and "return."

A sudden silence fell over the private room. Sunny seemed lost in thought, and Ji Jingyuan felt a strange sense of empathy for some reason. Although they didn't speak, their hands kept moving, each holding tongs and flipping the barbecue constantly. They were engaged in a silent understanding, one flipping this side, the other that.

Until Ji-yeong proactively clipped the first piece of grilled beef to Sunny's plate, Sunny glanced at Ji-yeong with an appreciative look in her eyes and said, “EXO is doing pretty well now. Although there are conflicts, they get covered up because you’re all about to debut. If after your debut you become popular and successful, that’s when things will truly become dangerous.”

Chi Jingyuan lightly nodded, the reason was simple, he knew.

"Most people wouldn't dare to voice their discontent with the company's favoritism towards you, but judging by your expression, I don't think you care much anyway. Well, let's talk about something else..."

Sunny didn't press the issue further, not wanting to put pressure on Ji Jingyuan. Instead, she shifted the conversation to lighter topics.

She talked about some things to pay attention to after entering the entertainment industry, as well as many scandals in the entertainment circle. This included several couples of "wild mandarin ducks" among ** company trainees, as well as how members of Girls' Generation and other popular girl groups were pursued by many men, etc.池景源 listened with great interest.

“With your looks and that smile, you'll see for yourself after your debut. If EXO becomes really popular, it’s hard to imagine how many female idols would be into you…” Sunny glanced at Ji-yeong, then rolled her eyes with a discontented expression. She seemed reluctant to even picture the scene.

"Taking a bite of the grilled meat and chewing, Chi Jingyuan suddenly chuckled and said: 'To be honest, senior, when you first invited me to dinner, I was really taken aback. I thought you were hitting on me.'"

What then

“When I walked into the private room and saw my senior, I knew it wasn't going to be what I thought. My senior wasn't dressed up at all, their makeup was messy, and they clearly weren't trying to flirt with me.”

"I... you don't understand now, you'll understand when you debut and encounter a devilish schedule. Even like this, I'm the result of careful grooming."

Sunny rubbed her dark circles, her mouth twitching before she said that adults were plentiful and grabbed a piece of grilled meat to wrap in lettuce. "What next You're disappointed that I wasn't hitting on you, aren't you Feeling so heartbroken you want to cry"

"Ah, then of course I'm relieved and let out a long sigh."

"Oh!"

Sunny's eyes instantly turned into an AK47, she glared at Ji-sung with murderous intent and said, "After knowing you couldn't be approached by Girls' Generation members, you finally let out a sigh of relief. How come, are you afraid of dating Girls' Generation Do you feel burdened when I approach you"

"Ani, of course I love Girls' Generation, especially the seniors. I'm still your fan."

Chi Jingyuan completely ignored Sunny's murderous gaze, calmly eating barbecue and chatting.

"Jia Are you my dinner" Sunny, seeing that the murderous glare wasn't working, stopped caring and instead asked curiously.

Even with her experience and discerning eye, the external qualities of the person in front of her were exceptional. Upon closer inspection, she realized their skin was truly excellent, beautiful even without makeup. If this person were her client, Sunny would naturally be delighted and could boast about it to others afterwards.

"Of course, I won't comment on your positioning in Girls' Generation...But your acting is something I really want to learn from. Your performance as the maid in "Tae Hee Hye Kyo Ji Hyun" was amazing, no one could say it wasn't believable."

Chi Jingyuan gently closed his eyes, as if savoring Sunny's performance in the TV drama. After a few seconds, he extended his thumb: "Simply top-notch acting."

"Oh, Asi, Chi Jingyuan, is this how you show respect to your seniors"

Sunny shouted angrily, and as soon as Pool Jingyuan opened his mouth, she realized he was mocking her. Sunny looked at Pool Jingyuan with an angry expression.

"Mi ah-ne!" Ji Jingyuan quickly wrapped a piece of barbecue for his senior and sent it over, showing his appeasement and apology.

Sunny took the barbecue, and she didn't know if she was thinking of her cameo in this TV show. She let out a 'poof' laugh, shaking her head and sighing:

"Oh Jia, how could I not see that your personality was like this And you can be so venomous! You smile so beautifully...I really made a mistake. I thought we were similar before, Axi, what a blunder."

Listening to Sunny's self-deprecation, Ji Jingyuan smiled and accepted it wholeheartedly. Then, after a moment of thought, he took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and handed it to Sunny. After withdrawing the smile from his face, he looked at the other party and said softly, "Facing different people, naturally showing different sides is a common thing. I wonder if I have the honor of forming an 'airdropped Le' with my senior in ** company"

"...".

Sunny looked at the increasingly serious Chi Jingyuan, who didn't have much expression. She understood something in her heart and smiled faintly. She took over Chi Jingyuan's phone, entered her own phone number, returned the phone to him, and said, "This group name sounds very hateful, but I quite like it."

"Well... to the formation of **'s most hated group, cheers"

Chi Jingyuan took the phone, a smile flickered across his face again, but his eyes were wide awake and bright. He picked up his iced coffee and raised it in a toast.

Cheers!

"Jiang!"

"This meal was a celebration, I paid for it this time, but next time it's your treat." Sunny drained his beer in one gulp and slammed the glass on the table.

"Inside..."

"Sunny is angry."

…………

Two days later, at the MV filming set.

"Other people's positions don't need to change, Yuan should try to blend in naturally when joining the team formation. I just watched your rehearsal, and there are basically no problems. You've already filmed this MV once before, take a 10-minute break, and this time we aim for one take."

As the MV shooting team's PD finished explaining, EXO members who had just finished dancing sat down to rest one after another.

Chi Jingyuan sat on the side, drinking pure water, thinking about the problems he encountered during the shoot just now.

His personal debut teaser video was already completed yesterday. It's a very simple video, just over one minute long. When facing the camera, he performed very naturally, and PD also praised him for having acting talent, so the progress is very fast.

And today, all of EXO's members were brought to the set to reshoot the MV. This time, the task was extremely challenging, with practically no time off. They had already prepared themselves for an all-nighter until the early morning hours.

When Chi Jingyuan was drinking water, a few strips of cloth fell from his arm when he raised the water bottle. He frowned and glanced at the clothes he was wearing, feeling helpless.

This is the costume specially prepared by the company for his MV shoot. It's a sequin jacket on top and gray ripped jeans on the bottom. That would be fine, but the costume designer had to wrap several meaningless strips of cloth around his arms and hang some ornaments on the clothes, making it look messy.

The designer claimed it was meant to showcase their charm and style, and fit the theme song "MAMA." But from this outfit, Ji Jingyuan saw nothing but dirt and mess, no reflection of anything else.

But it doesn't matter anyway, they are professionals after all. Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, though he felt that this outfit wasn't as good looking as any random hooded sweatshirt he could throw on.

After finishing his water, he put the cup down. He opened his mouth and blew air onto his forehead, as the newly cut bangs were making it a little itchy.

This is also the hairstyle designed by the company's dy for him.

Originally, he was supposed to have the same style as the other team members, going for a slightly metallic-looking long hair look. However, although Ki Jeong-won's hair isn't short, it's not very long either. Now that it's too late to grow it out, he can't maintain the same style as the team. Plus, wearing a wig while dancing would be too obvious, and Ki Jeong-won refused.

Finally, after some styling from the designer, he ended up with a head of black hair that was medium-length and slightly shorter on the sides. A messy fringe covered his forehead, always itching him to no end.

However, compared to his clothing, Ji Jingyuan was more satisfied with the hairstyle design. It looked better than his previous hair that hadn't been professionally trimmed, which also gave him a little more confidence in ** company's image design.

Shaking his head to disperse some sweat, Chi Jingyuan looked around and then suddenly remembered something. He patted Jin Junmian, who was not far away:

"Jun Mian ge."

"What's inside"
