Chapter Seventy-Six I'm sorry, I made a mistake

.Even though he wasn't familiar with this girl, he could keenly tell from her crying how upset she was and how much pressure she was under."…"Ji Jingyuan stopped in his tracks, watching Bae Joo-hyun w..."Seniors, didn't you guys have a gathering after the FX activities ended"

As soon as he sat down, Ji Chang-wook looked at Jung Soomin who had been staring at him since he entered the restaurant and asked a question.

"What's it to you"

Jung So-min said angrily.

At this time, Zheng Xiu-jeong had changed into a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts. Her fair legs were wrapped around the table, wearing a pair of pale yellow canvas shoes. Her long black straight hair was smoothly draped down, with one side tucked behind her ear and the other covering her temples.

A t-shirt and jeans outfit may seem simple, but it's actually the most challenging to pull off. Jung So Min looks like she's got it down pat.

"Waiter!"

Ji Jingyuan greeted with a voice, then took the menu and pointed at several items, ordering quite a few dishes. Zheng Xiujing was also looking at the menu and softly said something to the waiter.

After tapping, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the receipt handed over by the waiter. He frowned and looked at Zheng Xiujing across from him, letting out a sigh:

"Senior, you only ordered a bowl of white rice porridge. Are you really hungry"

“…………”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips and gave him a withering glance. She picked up her phone and tapped it angrily a few times without saying a word.

Chi Jingyuan immediately understood and didn't ask any further.

He was really hungry, but the other party wasn't.

This place wasn't very busy, the food came out quickly. Ji Jingyuan wasn't being fussy and started eating right away. Although he ate quickly, he still maintained good posture.

And Zheng Xiujing lowered her head, stirring the porridge in her bowl with a spoon. From time to time, she would raise her eyes to look at Chi Jingyuan eating, and a smile would appear on her lips.

As Qi Jingyuan was about to finish his meal, he glanced over and noticed that this senior's bowl of plain rice porridge was still full despite him having taken only a few sips.

"Have you eaten yet"

With a knowing smile that seemed rather malicious, Chi Jingyuan asked his question.

”…………“

Zheng Xiu-jing wrinkled her nose, looked at him, and said nothing.

"Looks like you're full, then go back. It's getting late and we have an early shoot tomorrow."

Ji Jingyuan wiped his mouth, stood up and walked out. Zheng Xiujing also got up immediately, picked up her bag beside her, and quickly followed behind, step by step.

The two people walked down the hotel hallway towards the elevator.

Do you think the food at the hotel restaurant is good

It's okay.

"If you're hungry again tonight, I'll call you"

"Senior..."

At the corner of the hallway, Ji Jingyuan suddenly slowed his pace and turned to look at Zheng Xiujing. A faint smile graced his face, his deep eyes still captivating in the dimly lit corridor.

"Senior, do you have a boyfriend"

His voice was clear and his tone natural, as if he were just asking a very ordinary question.

"Ah..."

Ji Chang-wook's sudden question startled Jung So-min, her eyes blinked rapidly, her pupils shaking crazily. She avoided Ji Chang-wook's sharp gaze and looked in another direction: "I don't, what's wrong"

"It's nothing, just asking."

Ji Jingyuan let out a light chuckle, turned around and continued walking forward, with his back to Zheng Xiujing, and suddenly threw another sentence: "It's probably unbelievable if I say it out loud, but I actually have a girlfriend."

Originally, Jung Se-jung was a little confused because of Cheon Geum-won's question and quickly guessed what he might be thinking.

But when she heard the next sentence, she immediately became anxious. The steps she had just taken stopped abruptly, and she tugged at Chi Jingyuan's clothes, stopping his stride. She frowned and looked into Chi Jingyuan's eyes:

"What are you talking about You guys just debuted a year ago, and you're already this busy. How would you even have time to date The company wouldn't allow it anyway."

She wasn't sure if she was questioning Chi Jingyuan, or if she was trying to convince herself.

My treatment at the company might be a little bit looser than others, so...

Chi Jingyuan turned to look at her, shrugged, and said, "Besides, it's not the first time. I broke up with someone before."

Actually, Chi Jingyuan doesn't have an official girlfriend right now, but he frequently contacts and flirts with several girls on his phone. Basically, as long as he makes a move or hints at something, he can instantly escape singlehood.

Saying that, Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and looked at Jung Soo-jung up and down before slowly opening his mouth: "Senior, you're so beautiful. I'm sure a lot of people have expressed their affections towards you over these few years since your debut, right"

"That's funny, I kind of feel the same way too."

His tone was very natural, as if he were recounting a very ordinary and common occurrence. But listening to it, Jung Soo-jung felt a churning in her heart.

But after thinking for a while, she looked up at Chi Jingyuan with a suspicious expression: "Cut the crap, I don't believe you. Do you think I'm an idiot"

She said, pointing to the phone in Chi Jingyuan's pocket, with an air of experience: "You've been on set for so many days, and when you're not playing games, you're just looking at news and forums. I've never seen you call or message often."

"Let me tell you, junior, I've seen a lot of idols dating. Every single one who is in a relationship is glued to their phone whenever they have free time. As soon as they have a moment to spare, they call or text their partner. That's what it means to be in a relationship."

Jung Soo-jeong seemed to grow more confident as she spoke, finally giving Chi Kyeong-won a look of disdain: "You're unlike anyone I know. You just spend all your time playing video games. It's so childish."

Finally, she crossed her arms and stared at Chi Jingyuan's face with wide eyes, as if trying to see through him.

Chi Jingyuan curled his lip: "If my seniors don't believe me, it's fine. I just wanted to let you know, so that..."

Finally, he collapsed and without finishing his sentence, turned around to continue on.

"Oh."

"What are you trying to avoid Be specific!"

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Jung Soo-jeong called out. Seeing Ji Seong-won keep moving, she ran over and grabbed his clothes, frowning with her lips slightly pouted, and said in a somewhat resentful tone: "If you're really dating someone, then call her. If she picks up, I'll believe you."

She knew that her affections for Ji-yeong had definitely been noticed, but before anything could develop, the other party directly said that he had a girlfriend he was currently dating. To Jung Soo-jung, this was a clear rejection of her.

She is a little confused right now. On one hand, she's sad because Chi Jingyuan's apparent refusal seemed so polite. On the other hand, she wants to confirm if he's really in a relationship.

If it were true, what should she do If it were false, what should she do She actually didn't know.

"Okay, then."

Chi Jingyuan sighed and took out his phone from his pocket. After unlocking it, he quickly dialed a number and then relaxed against the wall, waiting for the other party to answer.

Jung Seo-jung stared intently at Ji Kyeong-won throughout the entire scene, her two hands clenched tightly together. Although she didn't show much expression, the nervousness and slight panic in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

Whom did he call What if it's really his girlfriend What should I say if I answer

All sorts of thoughts swirled in her mind like porridge, her entire train of thought seeming to have stalled. She could only instinctively stare at the phone being held up to make a call.

"Breathing is always quick, you come towards me..."

Just when Jung Soo-jeong's heart was pounding in her chest, and she was most anxious, a sudden ring came from her bag.

This is the first verse of "Roar," which happens to be Ji Jingyuan's part.

She was stunned for two seconds, then quickly pulled her phone out of her bag. Seeing the caller ID on the screen, she seemed to be struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Zheng Xiujing's phone screen clearly flashed the three words 'Ki Jung-won'.

"Maybe I got the wrong number, Ma'am."

Chi Jingyuan patted his head, saying with a hint of annoyance, then picked up his phone, swiping his finger across the screen while saying, "She's on the peninsula, there's a time difference between us, I don't know what she's doing now, so..."

But before he could finish, Zheng Xiujing in front of him directly grabbed his arm, pulling his face towards the girl. Then she took a step forward and threw herself into his arms, her right hand around Chi Jingyuan's back of the head, she stood on tiptoes, her light red lips aligned and pressed directly onto his.
