The complaining magnetic voice came into Ming Jingnan's ears through the receiver and flowed into her heart like a surging hot current, making her feel like she was soaking in a hot spring, and her face turned a little red.
The aggrieved feeling I had just had because of Chi Jingyuan's complaints about the ring disappeared instantly, and the only thing left in my mind was the words "engraved with your name".
She felt like she was on a roller coaster, going up and down. The fluctuating emotions not only did not annoy her, but she seemed to be immersed in it.
Of course she knew that this was a love talk, and she could even feel the technique behind it. She realized that Chi Jingyuan said this deliberately, specifically for her to hear.
But such words have different effects when said by different people. If it was Chi Jingyuan... Ming Jingnan would fall for it.
Love is about being full of passion and fantasy, with strong emotional fluctuations. You have to laugh brightly and cry beautifully.
If Chi Jingyuan was right next to her, she probably wouldn't be able to resist and would just hug him.
"..."
When Mingjing Nan was surrounded by a huge feeling of happiness, the voice of the phone continued to come to her ear: "What a scheming... Did you expect this to happen when you engraved your name on the ring? Scheming Mina!"
"Pfft..."
I couldn't help laughing at Chi Jingyuan's childish words, and the soft laughter filled the dark balcony.
But she was not completely carried away by the passionate love words. After she finished laughing, she changed her tone, snorted, and asked in a sour tone: "Huh, you said it so nicely, but you still can't bear to part with me... Then will you take off the ring when you are filming?"
Mingjing Nan knew it was impossible. How could she wear her own jewelry while filming?
But even though it had never been mentioned before, she felt so sour at the thought of Ji Jingyuan acting opposite that damn woman Bae Suzy.
"Forehead……"
Standing at the curb and swinging his legs casually, Chi Jingyuan's originally relaxed tone suddenly paused. The loophole in his sweet love words was found right after he said it. Ming Jingnan actually asked him the question by saying this.
However, this kind of question still did not stump him. Chi Jingyuan did not even think about it. He laughed and blurted out, "The person who was reluctant to part with you is called Chi Jingyuan...but I was not called that name when I was filming."
"Cuckoo..."
"Tsk~ you're the only one who can say that"
A gentle and happy laughter sounded, and Ming Jingnan couldn't help but laughed out loud. After laughing twice, she covered her mouth as if she was worried that others would hear it. The deliberately suppressed laughter sounded like a whisper, which made people feel a little itchy.
At the end, in order to make herself seem less easy to please, she even pretended to complain with dissatisfaction...but her soft voice sounded no different from being a spoiled child.
She is really a little bit repressed, with very rich inner emotions. She likes to hear him say sweet words like "I can't bear to leave you".
The phone call obviously made Ming Jingnan feel better. Chi Jingyuan looked at the time and it was almost time, so he prepared to say his final goodbye: "Okay, let's talk tomorrow when we are free. I will come to you after I finish my work these few days."
He glanced at the makeup car not far away: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go change my clothes first. The agent over there has waved at me several times..."
"Wait a moment……"
Hearing that Chi Jingyuan was about to hang up, Ming Jingnan paused for a moment and interrupted him.
She bit her lower lip on the balcony, seeming a little hesitant.
In fact, up to now, she has completely gotten rid of the initial entanglement and worry.
She is very smart and perceptive, and can sense Chi Jingyuan's intentions from his words and tone.
Sometimes pretending is also an attitude, and Chi Jingyuan was not just pretending. Although he originally hated wearing jewelry, he actually kept wearing the ring that Ming Jingnan gave him.
Just like Chi Jingyuan said, 'If it were someone else, he would have taken off the ring long ago...'
For Mingjing Nan, this is actually an answer.
But... because she was the girl chasing the boy, she was basically the one who took the initiative in the development of the relationship, and Chi Jingyuan had never made a formal confession. Whether she had a girlfriend or not was too important to her. If there was no clearer answer, she would feel uncomfortable every time this topic came up in her mind.
Or... give it a try?
However, Ming Jingnan would not ask about such things without thinking. After Chi Jingyuan asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?", she hesitated for two seconds and talked about something else that seemed unrelated:
"Today during dinner, Sana said that dating couples have nicknames for each other. She asked me how we call each other... I said I call you by your name and you call me Mina, there's nothing special about it. She laughed at us for being so rigid and not intimate at all..."
After laying enough groundwork and hearing Chi Jingyuan's "hmm", Ming Jingnan asked in a soft voice: "Should we also think of a name for couples?"
Sana Minatozaki did talk to her about this topic in private, but they talked about it when they were chatting last week, and Sana Minatozaki didn't make fun of her, but showed concern... Minami Nai made some artistic processing on some details.
When she mentioned it before, she actually thought it was nothing.
But now, this thing suddenly becomes important.
The meaning of this topic was actually very clear. She even deliberately mentioned the word "couple in a relationship". If Chi Jingyuan was willing, he would actually answer her question from the side. But if she was too lazy to think of a nickname...
Ming Jingnan's tone sounded a little soft, but the fingers of the hand holding the phone were already clenched and squeezed tightly. She was nervously waiting for an answer but did not wait too long. Less than two seconds after she finished speaking, Chi Jingyuan's voice came over.
"Okay... Actually, I think the name Mina is pretty nice. It's much better than those middle-aged names like 'darling' or 'honey'. It sounds cute when you call it."
Chi Jingyuan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and he agreed very naturally: "But it's also good to think of a nickname... Just like Sana said, just calling by name does not seem very close..."
In the end, Chi Jingyuan became interested and started gossiping out of curiosity: "Tsk tsk, she really knows a lot? Does she have a lot of experience in love? I heard that she was a popular person when she was a trainee, and she was very popular?"
"call……"
Upon hearing this, Ming Jingnan felt relieved instantly. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt his whole body become light.
The last bit of worry was completely put to rest, and the whole person felt relaxed, and the body felt warm. Ming Jingnan smiled unconsciously, and as Chi Jingyuan chattered on, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, and the whole person seemed to become brighter.
When Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, she held up her phone and made the softest and most charming voice of the night: "It's not rich at all... and the trainees' words... are not as exaggerated as you say."
But he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: "Your girlfriend was also a popular girl when she was a trainee... and she's not bad now either!"
"Isn't it?"
Hearing Ming Jingnan's denial, Chi Jingyuan's tone sounded a little disappointed, but he didn't dwell on the topic and asked a little to himself:
"Let me think about what I should call you. Forget about those cloying names...Minari? Don't you like hearing people call you that?"
Minari was the nickname that the girls in the Japanese line used to give to each other. They added a suffix to the end of their names to show intimacy, such as momolin, minari, sata, etc., which was full of the cute and interesting nicknames between Japanese girls.
Later, as the group debuted, these nicknames became known to fans, and Minari became Minami's most well-known nickname... Minami also likes people calling her that.
"do not want!"
However, Ming Jingnan, who usually liked this name, did not agree. She hummed twice and acted coquettishly: "That's what the members and fans call you. You are different from them..."
"Then shout something different..."
If you don't want to, then change it. Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment and smiled: "Then just call her Celery?"
He said this word in Japanese.
The reason for this is that the nickname 'minari' is pronounced exactly the same as 'celery' in Korean.
But when it comes to the pronunciation of vegetables, Chi Jingyuan's mind slows down, and he suddenly thinks of another girl whose name is also pronounced like vegetables...
"Vegetables..."
Mingjing Nan's tone was a little hesitant, as if she was not very satisfied: "It feels a little awkward... not cute enough."
She prefers a cuter name.
"Celery is so cute, in Korean it's called minari..."
Chi Jingyuan gave her a name directly, and then after a moment of hesitation, he continued, "Your name is Nan. According to the logic of Chinese, you can call her Xiaonan, which is a very close and intimate way of addressing her... Isn't this cute enough?"
"Xonan?"
The arrangement was very standard as she muttered the word. Ming Jingnan didn't understand Chinese, but she liked Chi Jingyuan's explanation: "It's better than celery."
"Celery is good, too, right, Xiaonan." Chi Jingyuan didn't give Ming Jingnan a chance to hesitate. He just laughed and called out, "I'll call you that next time when I think of anything else."
"Well...then call me." Ming Jingnan asked with some anticipation.
"Celery, Xiaonan."
"The one at the back."
"Xonan."
"Ok?"
"Xiao Nan!"
"hey-hey……"
She was so happy that her gums were showing when she laughed. After listening to him for a few times, Mingjing Nan said in a sweet voice, "Then I will give you a nickname too..."
"Yaobu, Danna, or Bishi are all fine..." Chi Jingyuan felt that there was no need to think too much about it, as there were simply too many intimate names to address him.
"What are these? You said you didn't want a name that was too disgusting."
She complained in dissatisfaction... Although she actually wanted to call him "dear" or "husband" directly, it was quite embarrassing to actually call him that, and it was different from what she had planned.
She likes cute names.
Mingjing Nan's voice suddenly became charming, and she asked tentatively: "What do you think of calling me Yuan-chan? Is it cute?"
"..."
Hearing this nickname full of neon girl style made Chi Jingyuan laugh a little, especially because he felt that this name was somewhat familiar: "It's cute enough...but why does it sound a little familiar to me?"
After thinking about it for a while, he quickly remembered it, and his expression became a little tense. He asked speechlessly, "Is your dog's name Ray-chan?"
"Haha..." Ming Jingnan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard it. She didn't expect Chi Jingyuan to instantly think of the dog at home.
"Do you have a logic and style for naming nicknames?"
Hearing the helpless and blaming tone in the receiver, Ming Jingnan chuckled and his voice became soft: "Because... I like you guys very much."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was kicking his legs, paused as he heard the whispering voice in his ear. The soft voice created ripples in his heart. He was quiet for a few seconds, then said in a tone that didn't seem to care much, "It's up to you. It's you who shouted it anyway. It's okay as long as you think it's cute."
"Gen-chan." Ming Jingnan immediately shouted with a laugh.
"Ok?"
"Gen-chan."
"here I am."
"Su ki da yo"
(I like you)
After two seconds of silence, the soft, baby-like voice and the gentle moonlight were sent into Chi Jingyuan's ears by the radio waves, causing Chi Jingyuan to raise his head and glance at the moon in the sky.
Then he listened to the sound on the phone, blinked and smiled.
……
The other members were still eating fruits in the living room and enthusiastically exchanging gossip about a certain idol, while Minatozaki Sana was sitting on Naito Minami's bed fiddling with her phone, but her attention was obviously not very focused, as her mind was on the balcony separated by a door with the curtains drawn.
Ming Jingnan was on the phone there.
The soundproofing was not very good. She had just vaguely heard a few words whose meanings she could guess, as well as some sudden laughter. This made her even more curious, and she wanted to run over and put her ear to the glass door to hear it clearly.
Unfortunately, after a little consideration, she decided not to do such a tasteless eavesdropping action. If she was discovered, Mingjing Nan would definitely be angry... and Mingjing Nan would tell her when he came out, it would just be that he would know it a little later.
But if the result of this phone call is not good, Mina-chan will probably be very sad and upset. Will she be crying with tears all over her face when she comes out later?
"But I am always attracted. Why am I always attracted~"
Just as she was daydreaming and imagining some not-so-good scenes, the glass door of the balcony was suddenly opened, and the sound of a strange little tune humming came into her ears, followed by a shake of the curtains, and Ming Jingnan pulled open the curtains and walked out, humming softly and smoothing her hair that was messed up by the curtains. Both her melodious singing and her pretty face were filled with the words "I'm very happy".
After getting closer, Minatozaki Sana heard clearly that she was singing a part of their new album's title song "TT".
This is an excellent song...but no matter how good a song is, it will become annoying if sung too often. They are almost sick of singing this song after practicing it every day for a while. Most of them have developed a rebellious mentality and will never listen to or sing it again after work.
Mingjing Nan is actually humming this song at this moment. How good must she be feeling?
Before he went in to make the phone call, he was clearly preoccupied with thoughts and looked lost.
"Done? How was it?"
Sana Minatozaki looked at the happy-looking Nan Mingjing and asked blankly.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she had just talked nonsense... Looking at Ming Jingnan's expression, there was no need to ask what the result would be.
"Not bad..." Ming Jingnan smiled at her with his eyes bent and his teeth bared.
Seeing the huge change in the little sister's expression, Minatozaki Sana, who had been concerned about her just now, suddenly couldn't accept it. She looked at Mingjing Nan, frowned and muttered: "Did he confess to you or something? How did you change so quickly? I remember you were in a bad mood before you went in?"
"Even if he said it... he wouldn't be so happy, right?"
"No, that's not it~"
As if she felt that she had changed too quickly and was not reserved enough, Mingjing Nan realized that the happy expression on her face disappeared, and she quickly waved her hand and explained: "I'm not very happy... In fact, I still feel a little bit..."
Mingjing Nan seemed to feel unconvincing. She wrinkled her nose, pouted her red lips, put her hands beside her cheeks, made a 'T' sign and shook them vigorously, muttering tenderly, "I like TT!"
"Forehead……"
I really can't tell that she's sad, but she's really cute... She's cosplaying the title song, and she's still in a bad mood? Who are you kidding? She's still TT, damn!
Chi Jingyuan is not here again, who are you acting cute for?
Feeling that she was being treated as a mentally retarded person, Sana Minatozaki's eyes widened and she tilted her head. She was speechless and at the same time, she was extremely sighing.
Although she knew that Ming Jingnan was a little love-sick when facing Chi Jingyuan, this sister was usually very smart and had her own opinions.
But just one phone call, and the mood of such an outstanding girl like Ming Jingnan changed so much...
That oppa... is he so powerful?
……
Meanwhile, Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone, felt the slightly hot temperature of the phone, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought of, or anticipated, that Ming Jingnan might call him.
Because the topics they talked about during dinner were indeed a bit too unrestrained. If it were just other people from line 94 who were there, it would be fine, because everyone knew each other very well and knew each other well.
But there is one more person, Yu Jeongyeon. Although Chi Jingyuan is very familiar with her, it is not as close as Wu Shixun and the others...
With such a hot topic, Yu Jeongyeon would most likely not be able to resist telling her sisters about it after returning. If she talked about Chi Jingyuan's love history or love concepts, Ming Jingnan would definitely have a lot of mixed emotions in her heart after hearing it.
Chi Jingyuan did not blame Yu Jeongyeon for being a big mouth, because they were very casual when they were chatting at the table, which easily gave Yu Jeongyeon the feeling that "it was not an important matter". At the same time, he did not specifically tell her not to talk nonsense, so it was normal for her to reveal some information after returning.
And Chi Jingyuan is actually a bit indulgent.
During the meal, Wu Sehun was talkative and casually talked about Chi Jingyuan's ex-girlfriend... In fact, according to his personality, if there were outsiders around, he would never talk about anything involving Chi Jingyuan's private matters.
I guess he saw the conversation between Ji Kyung-won and Yu Jeong-yeon and thought that the two were very familiar with each other. There were people around him who were familiar with him, so he didn't pay much attention. Plus, he was a little high after drinking, so he just started chatting about it.
However, if Chi Jingyuan didn't want to talk about this topic at that time and gave him a look, he would definitely end the topic immediately and even smooth it over... They had this tacit understanding.
But Chi Jingyuan did not do so. Instead of stopping him, he was a little indulgent... He had never intended to hide these things and his own personality. He also thought that it would not be a bad thing to let Yu Dingyan go back and talk about it, let Ming Jingnan listen and get to know him.
It's not about making any preparations for a future breakup, Ji Jingyuan is too lazy to do such a thing...but it's something he will know sooner or later, and instead of saying it from his own mouth, which would be more hurtful, it's better to say it directly through Yu Dingyan's mouth.
At the same time, you can also lower your expectations. After the threshold of perception becomes lower, the effect of doing things or saying things for Ming Jingnan in the future will be more obvious. The emotional impact and emotional value provided will far exceed the original estimate, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Obviously, the effect was good in the end. At the end of the call, he felt the girl's sincerity. Chi Jingyuan still feels a little itchy in his heart. He knows that this is the feeling of being moved.
It was also different from the last fireworks festival, where the atmosphere was the main reason.
And at this moment, this part of the feeling comes only from her as a person.
In fact... this is a reflection of Chi Jingyuan's increasing attention to Ming Jingnan.
If it was just an ordinary one-night stand, he wouldn't bother with all these calculations. He didn't want it to last long, so it didn't matter whether he worked on it or not.
...After his wholehearted and sincere first love suffered a heartbreaking failure, Chi Jingyuan realized that when getting along with girls, it is useless to just be nice to them blindly because of your love and sincerity and rush forward.
Falling in love requires skills...
………………
The phone call wasted a lot of time, but it did not affect the progress of the filming... because the scene of Lu Xingcai that was being filmed did not seem to be going smoothly. When he finished putting on makeup and changed into costumes and walked over, this part had not yet been finished. Li Yingfu was pulling Lu Xingcai and talking about the scene crazily.
But Chi Jingyuan's late arrival was noticed by some people. He had just greeted the familiar staff and was standing nearby watching the filming when Bae Suzy walked over, glanced at him a few times and asked curiously.
"What were you doing just now? It took you so long to change your clothes. I saw the director was about to ask someone to question you..."
"Just now? You were busy dating." Chi Jingyuan looked at her and told her the truth.
"Cut~"
Pei Xiuzhi rolled her eyes directly. She knew Chi Jingyuan's character very well. He was really a bit childish... He knew that such words would affect her mood, so this person always liked to use such words to disgust her: "If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was attacked by the white eyes, shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little innocent... To be honest, no one believed it, and there was nothing he could do.
After chatting casually for a few minutes, Bae Suzy got down to business: "By the way, I heard from the director that you will be leaving the crew the day after tomorrow. Are you going to participate in this year's fashion week?"
"Yeah... didn't I tell you before? You're asking even though you already know the answer?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her. He knew this woman very well. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Don't forget to bring me some gifts."
Pei Xiuzhi grinned, pretending to be kind and innocent, and smiled innocently at Ji Jingyuan. She pinched her right hand and scratched her cheek cutely: "I like GUCCI bags very much."
Seeing her trying hard to act cute, cosplaying as Ji Eun-tak, and looking like she was fighting for the gift, Ji Jingyuan didn't refuse and nodded casually: "OK, I'll bring you some good-looking ones when I see them."
But he certainly didn't think that Bae Suzy's intention was just to ask for luxury gifts... This woman was a wealthy woman and had no shortage of expensive luxury goods. She even had so many bags that she couldn't even carry them all.
It’s just that sometimes offering help and making others feel needed is also a way to bring people closer together… Chi Jingyuan is not the only one who uses this little trick.
Hearing that he agreed directly, Bae Suzy stopped acting cute and looked at him strangely: "So good?"
Based on her understanding of Chi Jingyuan, this man would at least say a few childish words to her, which would be consistent with his character.
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows at her: "Didn't I tell you? I was just in love, and I'm in a good mood now! It's not a big deal, so I'll agree to your small request."
"Axi..."
…………
After working non-stop all night, they continued filming after a break. It was not until the third day that Ji Jingyuan said goodbye to Lee Eung-bok and others and left the "Goblin" crew for a short time.
After a good sleep and rest, he rushed to the company at the appointed time and started recording "really really" with Kang Seul-gi and Yu Jeong-yeon who were already waiting there.
Needless to say, Chi Jingyuan designed the style of this song. In addition, he has always had excellent singing skills, so his recording progress was very fast with almost no delays.
Kang Seul-gi has always been very strong. She is good in dancing, singing, and expressiveness, and is very balanced. However, she does not have many opportunities to perform in Red Velvet, and fans do not often notice her.
This time, "really really" is an opportunity for Kang Seul-gi to show herself. It can be seen that she is very serious and hardworking, and she is unexpectedly very suitable for songs of this style. Both her voice and emotions make Ji Kyung-won very satisfied.
As the main vocal line of Twice, Yu Jeongyeon is also OK. There were some problems at the beginning, but after Ji Jingyuan corrected them and gave them some time to adapt, it became much smoother, although there were still some mistakes...
But at least she's much better than Lim Nayeon!
As for Wu Se-hun...
This clownish guy usually can't sing a few lines in EXO. He acts like a backup dancer every day, holding the microphone as a decoration. There is a reason for this. His natural electronic voice sounds like a child. Although his style is very suitable for this song, there are always problems in some places, and he even sings off-tune occasionally. Chi Jingyuan feels that recording him is simply a torture.
Why did you act like a senior in front of Yu Jeongyeon? You don't seem to be much better than her.
Until the very end, there was still a little bit of recording work to be completed...but Chi Jingyuan was running out of time as he had to rush to the airport later, so he could only postpone the rest of the work until he returned from Italy.
The necessary luggage had already been taken into the car by Park Jae-hyun. After saying goodbye to everyone, Chi Jingyuan did not return to the dormitory, but got directly into the nanny car and set off for Milan.
