on's insights and numerous script revisions, finally began to shine with its own unique brilliance. >>Episode 7's ratings were 16.9%, and Episode 8 was 17.5%.Every episode has been steadily improving,..."Here you go."

Ji Jingyuan took in all of Pei Zhuxuan's expressions, chuckled lightly, and waved his hand. "I reckon this duck has long since rebelled. It'd be better off staying there with you than being brought back."

The duck in the middle of the hat is covering its head and tilting its head, completely unable to understand what these two people are saying.

"Nei, Kang Sang Mi Da…"

After hearing that, Pei Zhuxuan let out a long sigh of relief. She felt like a pressure in her heart had suddenly vanished. She stood up and smiled brightly at Ji Jingyuan, looking much more cheerful and relaxed than before.

This knowing smile truly took Ji Jingyuan by surprise. At this moment, the gloom on Pei Zhuxuan's face had completely dissipated, and even under the surrounding yellowish lights, she appeared very radiant.

"I really like this hat, and thank you for Jingyuan xi's comfort that day... However, I feel that the duck on this hat doesn't quite match Jingyuan xi's temperament. If I have a chance, I'll send you a more suitable one."

Pei Zhuhyun gently pulled back a few strands of hair that had slipped out, shaking her fringe lightly with her forehead. She tilted her head and looked at Ji Jingyuan, her small white teeth quite prominent.

"Does Joohyun also like Pokemon" Ji-seong asked curiously.

"It's nice, but I haven't had it for very long…"

Pei Zhuhyun nodded, not saying that she had searched online while looking at the pattern on the hat and liked it after watching a few episodes.

"What a coincidence…………"

Qi Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he became quite interested in chatting with the other person. They began to discuss this "children's cartoon" that others talked about, one sentence at a time.

He didn't notice, but as the two walked, Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Ji Jingyuan and unconsciously straightened her chest, straightened her legs, tilted her head back, occasionally even tiptoeing.

She usually wears flat sneakers because she practices in them, but standing next to Ji-seong at this moment made her look noticeably shorter. This suddenly made Bae Joo-hyun feel a little awkward.

Two people walked slowly along the riverbank, blowing on the cool wind and smiling. They seemed to be having a great conversation.

Pool Jingyuan saw that Pei Zhuxuan was new to the game, and her knowledge of Pokémon wasn't as deep as his. But it didn't matter.

The two felt a strange sense of familiarity as they chatted, as if the other person understood them well, despite barely having spoken before.

"I feel like I've known Jingyuan xi for a long time."

Pei Joo-hyuk blinked and looked at him.

“I feel like that's true for IU too, it's because if a friend keeps mentioning someone to you, you'll start getting familiar with them as well……”

Ji Jingyuan shrugged and winked at Pei Zhuxuan.

It seemed like they had a telepathic connection, both shouting out the same name at the same time:

"Shiqi!"

"Haha…"

Both of them shouted out the name Jiang Sheqi, and then they simultaneously burst into laughter, looking at each other. A sense of unspoken understanding brewed around them. Plus, they both had a mutual relative, making them feel closer all of a sudden.

"It seems like Joohyun xi is in a better mood recently, you don't look as stressed as before."

Chi Jingyuan tightened his collar and asked.

The two stopped at the railing, looking at the river surface and the night view on the other side. Bae Joo-hyun tidied up her hair blown by the wind and asked curiously: "How did Jingyuan xi know that I was under a lot of pressure and in a bad mood back then"

“Senior, do you think I'm a pab Of course, I see it with my eyes.”

Chi Jingyuan wore an expression of being underestimated as he glanced at her. "Back then, your crying face, if you think about it a little, you'll understand. I'm not blind. I really should have filmed it back then and shown it to you, senior. Thinking about it now, I regret forgetting..."

"You...actually, I don't really like crying. That day, I don't know what happened, I just couldn't control my emotions."

Talking about that day, Pei Joo-hyuk seemed a little unnatural. She tried to defend herself while subtly glancing at Ji-won's direction.

She couldn't speak at all. That day, it was because she saw Ji Jingyuan that all the negative emotions she had been holding inside her erupted and she cried uncontrollably.

As if not wanting to continue this awkward topic, Bae Joo-hyeon quickly changed the subject: "Besides seeing that I'm under a lot of pressure, what else did Kyung-won xi notice"

She stared intently at Chi Jingyuan, her eyes flickering with anticipation.

"It's obvious that Hyuna is very pretty."

"Who asked that Let's talk about something else! What else do you see"

Pei Zhuxuan glared at him playfully, saying something else with her mouth, but her expression was beaming with delight. It was clear that she was very pleased to be praised and seemed like a rather vain person.

Actually, whether at work or in life, she's often complimented on her looks, and she's become a little tired and worn out by it.

It's just that when different people say it, the weight of their words changes naturally. The praise from Chi Jingyuan before her eyes gave rise to a genuine sense of joy within her.

But this joy did not last long.

"Other aspects..."

Pool Jingyuan sized up this happily smiling older sister, hesitated for a moment, then decided to be honest: "You can tell that Joo Hyunxi is not very tall, probably no more than 160 centimeters. Her body proportions aren't great either, her head seems a bit large, and she might have been controlling her diet recently without paying attention to her nutrient intake, which has caused some acne…"

"Oh! Oh!"

Just now, when she was still smiling happily, Pei Zhuxuan's entire being was stunned. The beautiful and gentle smile from just a moment ago vanished in an instant, her whole person went crazy screaming twice, stomped her feet on the ground, extended her right hand high up, as if she wanted to slap Chi Jingyuan.

Her hand paused in mid-air, as if she had suddenly remembered that the two of them were not actually very familiar. Given her personality, this was a bit out of character.

But in the end, she couldn't hold back. Bae Joo-hyeon brought her right hand down and slapped Park Jin-young's left arm quite forcefully. Then, it seemed like she wasn't satisfied, or perhaps she liked the feeling of hitting him, she continued to slap him several times before letting go.

"This was actually something Tzuyu asked herself... " Ji Kyung-won seemed to not feel the pain at all, lazily smiling at Rosé with an expression that said 'Since you asked, I'm just being honest'.

"Aiya, I didn't believe Shiqi before, but now I do. Jingyuan xi's personality is really different from his appearance, it's truly..."

She wore the expression of someone who had just met Chi Jingyuan for the first time. Because she had used a lot of energy from the continuous attacks, her chest rose and fell as she gasped for breath. She shook her head and sighed in dismay.

"Inside, Qi actually understands me pretty well."

"Oh my goodness, ha ha..."

Remembering the litany of flaws the other party had just mentioned, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but laugh. Covering her face, she looked quite embarrassed, and it took a long time for her to recover.

"Jing Yuan xi, you guys EXO are really on fire recently, your news is everywhere, and there are always EXO fans camped out at the company's doorstep."

After cracking a joke, the two seemed to get along more naturally. They unconsciously began to talk about each other's careers. When talking about EXO's recent developments, Bae Joo-hyun said with some envy: "If I could debut in the future and reach the popularity of EXO now, even half would satisfy me."

"It's really hard to be truthful. We ourselves didn't expect the popularity to be like this. At first, I felt that "Roar" could become popular, but I never imagined it would be this popular. The company also didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Ji-yeong felt a pang of reluctance to shatter Bae Joo-hyun's beautiful fantasy. EXO's fiery success in the second half of the year was truly something no other group could replicate.

EXO debuted over a year ago but has not been cared about much and is not a popular group.

But from the release of “The Roaring” to the end-of-year award ceremony shortlist, XO became a fan favorite among most student groups on the Peninsula. They only took less than three months to achieve this.

This kind of speed is really unbelievable.

"Of course I know how difficult it is to reach the level of XO, just thinking about it is enough, and I haven't even confirmed that I can debut yet…"

Pei Zhuhyun wrinkled her nose and glared at him with a hint of displeasure. After getting to know him, she wasn't as unfamiliar anymore, and her expressions were much more varied than before.
