Chapter 46 Who's prettier, me or her?
Chapter 46 Who's prettier, me or her?
Li Yuanzheng and Song Yuqi were chatting when a man pushed the door open and barged in.
"Get ready, you can go back to the car to rest in a bit." The person who came in glanced at the members in the room, "Then prepare for the morning's itinerary. There are a few announcements to attend, so time is tight. Try to get some sleep in the car."
The person who came was (G)i-dle's agent.
"Lee Won-ssi is here too?" The manager saw Lee Won standing in the crowd and immediately switched to a cautiously enthusiastic expression.
It was Li Yuan who sent Song Yuqi to Cube Entertainment. The manager only knew that Li Yuan went to the president's office alone and talked for a long time. Then the president came out and announced that Song Yuqi would be the next member of the girl group.
At that time, (G)I-DLE's project was still in its infancy, and even the group's name had not been decided.
This demonstrates the immense energy of the young man before us.
What puzzled the agent was that Li Yuan seemed to be Chinese, and he didn't know what his background was.
"You guys are busy, so I'll be going now." Li Yuan got up and prepared to leave.
He's never stayed up this late before, and he's already a bit sleepy, only keeping going thanks to his physical condition.
"Then we'll see you off!" Tian Xiaojuan also stood up.
"Yes, I'll see you off." Song Yuqi, unusually, didn't object and stood up as well.
Li Yuanke stayed up all night to watch their performance, so she had to be enthusiastic.
She hopes there will be a next time.
"No need, you all need to rest." Li Yuan waved his hand somewhat apologetically as he looked at the members who had all stood up.
"It's okay, we're leaving soon anyway." Zhao Meiyan even ran over to open the door for him, holding the doorknob and making room for him, like a proper hostess.
Li Yuan walked to the door with a smile, then his smile froze instantly.
In the corridor outside the door, Tian Jizhen was passing by from the other end.
Because of the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously glanced in this direction.
Then she saw Li Yuan, who had just come out.
No!
Li Yuan screamed inwardly, then shook his head almost imperceptibly, signaling her not to come any closer.
To everyone's surprise, when Tian Jizhen saw him shaking his head, she first shook her head in confusion, and then walked over anyway.
She stood gracefully in front of Li Yuan, her face slightly tilted upwards:
"Oppa, thank you for coming to our show today!"
Li Yuan instantly felt a heat on his back, as if several infrared beams had precisely locked onto his back. The feeling of being watched made Li Yuan's back feel a little cold.
"It's alright, the stage performance was great today." Li Yuan's voice remained at a normal volume. "Go ahead and get back to work."
"Yes." Tian Jizhen nodded obediently, her gaze curiously passing over Li Yuan's shoulder to look at the people behind him.
These people seem to be the predecessors of (G)i-dle?
"Oppa is amazing, he knows so many people." She thought to herself, then bowed slightly and turned to leave.
After Tian Jizhen left, Song Yuqi's voice drifted over softly:
"I knew it! Why would you be so kind as to come all the way to see our show?"
It's worth noting that Lee Won didn't even come to (G)I-DLE's debut stage.
"So he has a pretty girl outside," Ye Shuhua added.
The others remained silent, only gazing at him with resentful eyes.
Minnie, who was meeting him for the first time, had a blank expression on her face.
After all, they only met once, so her position was more like that of an audience member.
"I was watching your performance, so I thought I'd check them out while I was at it," Li Yuan said, turning around and trying to explain. "I ran into them in the hallway, so I couldn't just not support them, could I? They're new to the industry and need our support."
"By the way... isn't that a member of LOONA, who just debuted?" Jeon So-yeon blinked. "Their popular visual, Jeon Hee-jin? Oppa has good taste."
Although LOONA only officially debuted a few days ago, both the individual members and sub-units have already been active in the public eye.
One of the most popular members was Jeon Ji-jin, who had just left.
"I heard a lot of people are comparing her to Mi-yeon unnie." Tian Xiaojuan turned her head to look at Zhao Mi-yeon, a mischievous smile on her lips.
"Xiao Yuan, who do you think is prettier, me or her?" Zhao Meiyan didn't look at Tian Xiaojuan, but looked at Li Yuan instead.
"You..." Zhao Meiyan's face lit up with joy, and the corners of her mouth were already about to turn up.
"Your beauty is different." Zhao Meiyan's smile froze, as if it had been paused.
"Oh dear!" Zhao Meiyan's voice echoed in the corridor. It was unclear whether Tian Jizhen heard it or not. "Why are you carrying water like this? Can't you just say... never mind?"
"That's a strange question," Li Yuan said, putting his hands in his pockets. "If I asked you and Yuqi if you fell into the water, who would you save first? What would you answer?"
"I'll save you." Zhao Meiyan said without hesitation.
"Hey, Zhao Meiyan!" Song Yuqi was displeased.
"So straightforward?" Li Yuan was also taken aback, not expecting her to answer so quickly.
"Yuqi can swim," Zhao Meiyan said, staring at Li Yuan with a puzzled look. "Didn't you know?"
"That's not how it's calculated. If that's the case, then I can swim too." Li Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
"Then I won't save anyone, and I can't swim either," Zhao Meiyan said matter-of-factly, spreading her hands.
"Fine, I'm not talking to you guys anymore." Li Yuan gave up struggling. "I need to go to sleep."
I had class yesterday and didn't sleep last night, so I'm very sleepy now.
"Let's go, let's go." Song Yuqi waved her hand. "Remember to come see us this afternoon to get first place, don't be late!"
"I will definitely come," Li Yuan said.
I was resting at the TV station, so of course I went to watch it.
After saying goodbye to Song Yuqi and the others, Li Yuan went straight back to the lounge he had been in before.
Once the door closed, the noise in the corridor was shut out, and the world finally became quiet.
He slumped onto the sofa, letting out a satisfied groan.
That feeling of lying down in bed after staying up all night and quickly starting to lose consciousness is really great.
My body was tired, but my mind was relaxed. There was no anxiety or insomnia, only a pure feeling of drowsiness.
Li Yuan just closed his eyes...
"Crash!"
A notification sound rang on my phone.
"Who is it?" Li Yuan picked up his phone.
It is Pei Zhenshuai.
She sent a message saying, "Are you there, Oppa?"
"Ah~" Li Yuan was a little conflicted.
Knowing Pei Zhen's personality, if he simply replied "yes," she would definitely chat for ages. But he was exhausted and had no energy to deal with it.
"Should I pretend I didn't see it?" Li Yuan thought.
This is the time she goes to school, so it shouldn't be anything serious.
He held his phone to his chest and closed his eyes.
Three seconds later, he opened his eyes again.
No. What if something really important happens?
He sighed, unlocked his screen, and typed a few words: "Yes. What's up?"
The reply came quickly, as if they had been waiting for his message.
Bae Jinsol said she would be arriving in Seoul that afternoon to sign a contract with JYP.
"Great, that's a big deal." Li Yuan typed a few words and sent them over.
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Haven't you lied to me enough times, Oppa?" was followed by an eye-rolling emoji.
Li Yuan looked at the words, smiled, and did not refute them.
"Message me when you arrive." He replied with the last message, then locked the screen and put his phone on the coffee table.
This time, there was no more notification sound.
