Chapter 3: Family

tructor and stage effect planner from the company, stood beside the twelve members, explaining important matters:“This coming November, we from XO have been warmly invited to perform at both award cer...After the two had finished talking, Ji Jingyuan said goodbye to the members and got into Park Jaehyun's car that came to pick him up. He returned to his villa in Longshan District. 。Before leaving, Chi Jingyuan and the other members also gave a brief hint, implying that he wouldn't be forced in the company, but they didn't say much. 。

It's still best to follow your own opinion, whether or not to adjust is your own choice.

Some people do feel that they may not be very good-looking and hope to become more handsome, which can also increase their self-confidence. 。

Some people also hope that they can be more popular, with more handsome and delicate faces to attract more fans and earn more money.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it's understandable and nothing to be ashamed of. 。Of course, with Qi Jingyuan's conditions, it would be completely unnecessary to force him into anything. The company wouldn't do that either. I estimate that Li Chenghuan realized this and after casually mentioning it, he never brought it up again. 。After sending Ji Jingyuan back to the villa, Pu Zhe also took his leave. He was also given a holiday by Ji Jingyuan to go home for the New Year, and the holiday time coincided almost exactly with EXO's holiday. 。When Chi Jingyuan got home, there were only the nanny and maidservants. His second brother and elder sister were both out. 。He briefly chatted with his second older brother on the phone and knew he would be back home for dinner together in the evening before hanging up. 。He tossed his bag onto the couch, went upstairs to change his clothes, and then sat back on the couch and turned on the television, flipping through channels at random. 。The show is quite boring. Lots of artists are on holiday nearing the new year, and there haven't been any big news stories recently either. 。Feeling unmotivated, Ji-sung went on his phone and scanned through recent news about Girls' Generation's comeback. 。After their return on January 1st, they began performing on music shows, but recently Music Bank and Inkigayo have both stopped airing due to certain reasons, leaving them with only M Countdown and Music Core as available stages. 。The first week is a warm-up, and from the second week onwards, Girls' Generation took over one spot on each of the two music shows. Based on their scores, online trends, and recent competitors, Girls' Generation should be able to easily win both music shows for the next two weeks. 。However, this result is very normal for Girls' Generation, who are making their comeback after more than a year. It's not news for them to achieve first place with their popularity. Not getting first place would be the surprise. 。However, there are also hidden dangers, and they are very obvious. Currently, many people online on the peninsula have expressed their opinions about Girls' Generation's comeback this time, and many of them do not approve of the title track "I Gotta Boy," even some of Girls' Generation's own fans are like this. 。This song was also listened to by Chi Jingyuan, how to say, a standard **-produced patchwork song. People who don't like patchwork songs might not get it at all. 。

The highlights weren't many, but the dance was pretty good.

When the audio source of this song was first released, it was directly pushed to the top of major music charts by fans of Girls' Generation and passersby. This reflects the popularity of少女時代.

But the aftertaste seemed a bit lacking, and as time went on, the ranking of the title song also kept dropping. 。Overall, the results are average. This comeback for Girls' Generation wasn't very successful. The song didn't really boost their popularity, instead it feels like they are carrying the song. 。Although they are currently in a position of less prominence and popularity, as the main group returns formally at the end of the year, it is certain that they will be able to win some awards. 。

Using his phone, he watched a stage performance of "Igotaboy" and then sent a message to Sunny laughing: "Nuna, the stage was really good. At first glance, your pink-purple hair stood out the most."

When No. 1 returned as a child, Ji Jingyuan had already sent congratulatory messages to several familiar sisters. However, except for the first stage, he hadn't had time to watch the subsequent singing stages. 。"Oh, did you just watch our stage performance" Sunny's message came back quickly, seeing through Ji-yeong's pretense at a glance. 。Seeing the reply, Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh and started chatting with Sunny. 。

Maybe Sunny is doing something else and hasn't responded for half the day.

When he was waiting for a reply, Ji-seong thought about it and sent another message to Taeyeon: "Taeyeon nunna, your styling on this comeback stage feels very charming." 。He's telling the truth, Sunny's powder puff is eye-catching, but it's not very beautiful. 。While Jiyoung thought the most memorable part of this comeback was the choreography, Ji-yeon felt the outfits and makeup were what really stood out. Particularly for her, Yoona and Taeyeon’s looks were the most impressive, with Pani and Seohyun also doing a good job. 。

Taeyeon's reply was very quick, she opened it and sent a selfie directly.

In the photo, Taeyeon is wearing a stage outfit and has a blue butterfly hair tie on her head. She tilts her head and smiles at the camera with a 'yes' gesture, showing off her white teeth. 。After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan learned that Girls' Generation was having a comeback this year and wouldn't be taking any time off for New Year. They would be busy with schedules and music shows almost every day from January 1st to the 20th, truly deserving the title of "workaholics." 。After chatting for a while, they didn't say anything more. Girls' Generation still had to go record a show. 。Qi Jingyuan also put down his phone, sprawled on the sofa, his eyes vacant, staring at the television ahead, enjoying this unaccustomed leisure time. 。It wasn't until nightfall that the second brother returned to the villa. 。

Seoul has been snowing since yesterday, and it hasn't stopped today. Instead, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, covering the entire city in white.

Chi Jingxu was wearing a high-end brown wool suit. Even though his assistant was holding an umbrella for him when he got in and out of the car, some snowflakes still landed on his shoulders when he entered, making him look windswept.

The second brother's height was about the same as his younger brother, but unlike Chi Jingyuan's softer features, his were more rugged. His appearance might not be as stunning as Chi Jingyuan's, but he was still a handsome guy.

Chi Jingyuan estimated that even without the support of family factors, his brother, with his theoretical good looks alone, could still become a pure player like he is now.

After entering the door, he took off his suit and handed it to the nanny. Seeing Ji Jingyuan looking at him, the usually serious expression on his face softened into a smile. He raised his chin slightly towards Ji Jingyuan, pointing with his finger towards the dining room. 。After Chi Jingxu returned, the servants began to serve dishes. The two brothers sat at the dinner table, eating and chatting. 。"Big sister went to America, to Mom and Dad's place" Chi Jingyuan ate a mouthful of food and asked. 。Chi Jingyuan's parents have lived in the US for many years, managing their businesses there. However, in recent years they have entrusted much of the work to their elder sister and younger brother, and are starting to enjoy their retirement. 。

Elder sister Chi-Ching flew to the United States a few days ago to discuss some business matters with her parents and spend time with them during the Lunar New Year.

"How about them"

Ji Jingxu glanced at his younger brother, instantly seeing through his thoughts.

There is a bit of... 。We haven't seen each other since we celebrated the Lunar New Year together last year. We only chat on the phone occasionally, and I have no idea how they're doing now. 。Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, not denying it. He did miss his parents. 。He was the youngest child and considered a late blessing to his parents, so he was always very much cherished. 。"

Don't be fooled, the old couple just dumped their problems onto us. Now they're living a carefree life, much easier than all of us who work so hard every day.

" 。"Chi Jingxu let out a light hum, muttering a complaint before glancing at his younger brother: "Just find an opportunity to fly to America and visit sometime. There's no need to be so melancholic." 。After chatting about some family matters, Ji Jingxu suddenly had a sly look on his face and stared at his younger brother, asking, “I heard you found a girlfriend. How is it going”" Hwang Mei-young suddenly realized, remembering the unusual relationship between Jiyeongwon and Bae Joo-hyun she had heard about at Taeyeon's birthday party last time. After nodding in understanding,...
