Chapter 142 Why do they laugh at you? Why do they laugh at me?
On the day the show was broadcast, the person who was most hurt was Taeyang, who was not present at all.
He poked at the barbecue in his bowl, looked at his childhood sweetheart and sighed, "Now everyone laughs at me for walking on my shoulders. When will you change your habit of exaggerating stories?"
Quan Zhilong finally looked up from his phone and glanced at Yongpei, with a smile in his eyes, "Oh my god, how could I have exaggerated anything? That's exactly what you told me back then."
Da Sheng and Jin Duxuan were grilling meat and glanced at the sun. It was also the first time they heard this nickname and their eyes narrowed.
It has been three years since their debut, and they each have their own focus in development. Taeyang and Kwon Ji-yong focus on music, Daesung is developing in Japan, Do Hyun is also thriving in variety shows, and TOP has even entered the entertainment industry.
This time he was unable to attend the dinner due to movie shooting.
Kwon Ji-yong sent another message to Ye-eun, but suddenly he saw the message from his mom. He raised his eyebrows in confusion. Ever since Yien accidentally answered my mom's call the last time he and Yien were in America, my mom had ignored him for a long time.
"Ye-eun is indeed smiling..." Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but curl his eyes. It seemed that his mother sent him a message after watching the show.
"And the candy was left for you by Ye-en, you didn't bring it yourself!" Han Ji-lan shook her head helplessly while sending the message, "You two kids have a messed up memory."
She turned to look at Li Zhen, "You once asked me who was the one who suggested taking Ye-eun to elementary school."
Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh. "Wasn't it Duomei who brought it up in the beginning? Did they think it was each other?"
"Yes." Han Jilan sighed helplessly, and then couldn't help laughing again. Although Zhilong is the captain of the team, he is the youngest when he returns home. Even though he is three years younger than Yien, he is just as childish.
Suddenly remembering what Li Zhen had said recently, she turned to look at him: "You're going back to China, right? Let's go together. We've got our visas ready."
"Oh?" Li Zhen was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly laughed again. They knew what he was going to do, and they were probably afraid that he would be in a bad mood. "Alaso, then you can go with me. I will take you to play for a while."
The four adults packed up and headed straight to China to deal with Ye-eun's biological father and travel at the same time. However, Ye-eun didn't know the specific details. After finishing her last concert of the year, she started preparing for the MAMA at the end of the year.
Even though it was severely affected by various controversies last year, even though some Trot singers refused to attend at the beginning of the month, S/M directly announced that all S/M artists would not participate this year, and even a small company called Pledis implicitly said that some artists would not participate due to schedule reasons, MAMA is still the most important year-end celebration in the Korean music industry.
Ye-eun looked down at Quan Jiahu and Li Zhuli who were pulling at her, and asked, "Are you sure you want to take them with you?"
Quan Zhilong squatted beside Yien, raised his hand and touched the two puppies. When he looked up at Yien, all three pairs of eyes were bright and clear. "Yes, otherwise, are you going to leave them alone at home?"
Both of their parents went to have fun. Although this year's MAMA was held in Macau, China for the first time, it is impossible to let the parents take care of the children while having fun.
My friends are all in the same circle and they are also very busy in the last two months of the year.
Yien sighed, and finally compromised as she looked at the two little darlings who were pulling at her calves with expectant looks on their faces.
I often keep them at home because of work, so I try to spend more time with them as much as possible.
"When the time comes, let Brother Xiaopang and Brother Nanguo help watch backstage." After all, the music in front of the stage was too loud, which was not good for the little dog.
She finally agreed. Quan Zhilong's eyes curved and he picked up the two excited dogs, "Okay! Jiahu Julie, thank Yien quickly!"
The two dogs hummed and barked twice, as if they really understood.
However, on November 19, at MAMA, in Macau, China, Ye-eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong, who was holding two puppies, with a worried look on her face: "Can you do this?"
"Sure!" Kwon Ji-yong vowed. Two dog leashes were tied to his wrists. Because Ye-eun had to walk the red carpet with 2NE1, it would not be convenient to bring the dogs with her.
Quan Zhilong decisively took on the task of walking the dogs on the red carpet. He even said: "If only Jiahu walks the red carpet, our Julie will be sad! As the older brother and sister of the two children, we can't be partial!"
The look he gave Yi-eun at that time was as meaningful as if he was looking at a wife who favored boys over girls: "You are not that kind of person, are you?"
Yeen held her forehead helplessly, wondering if it was possible for her to walk the red carpet without them?
However, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't suppress his desire to show off his outstanding children. Now Ye-eun got into 2NE1's car worriedly and watched Kwon Ji-yong take Jiahu and Julie to another car.
"Don't worry." CL adjusted the black and white metal hairband on her head in the small mirror in her hand, "What can go wrong walking on the red carpet?"
Ye-en thought about it and thought that it should be fine to walk on the red carpet... their two children are so well-behaved.
Minzy took the black mask in her hand and looked at it, occasionally bringing it up to her face to take a look, because this year's MAMA was held in China, and their stage also had many Chinese elements.
For example, Chinese drums, gongs, cymbals and the like, their styles also have some Chinese elements.
Ye-eun lowered her head and turned the black wristband, waiting to walk the red carpet according to her order.
At the Cotai Arena at The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, the cars in front slowly stopped one by one. Because of the cold weather, the artists would get out of the cars only when it was almost their turn on the red carpet.
It was not until the staff knocked on their car window that Ye-en and the others opened the door and got out.
A cold wind blew over, and many artists shivered, but 2NE1 didn't feel the cold because they were all wearing coats. The camera was already aimed at the artists getting off the car and started the live broadcast. Ye Eun turned her eyes slightly and glanced ahead, and sure enough, she saw Kwon Ji-yong walking forward on the red carpet with Jiahu and Julie.
He was wearing a tight grey suit, his eyes were indifferent, one hand was placed at his side, and the other hand was holding two leash ropes. With his blond hair, he looked extremely unruly.
However, his eyes softened when he looked at Jiahu in a black suit and Julie in a red skirt.
Very good, both children are very well behaved! Yeen breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped herself in her black coat, and followed the staff's guidance to the waiting area on the side of the red carpet.
There are already many artists waiting here. Among them, the boy band Beast, which debuted last month, has also been nominated for the Best New Male Group. Ye Eun couldn't help but turn her head and look at Jang Hyun-seung, and both of them smiled.
haven't seen you for a long time.
Jang Hyun-seung stood in the crowded waiting area with a slight gleam in his eyes, and he was finally standing with everyone again.
The fans behind her suddenly burst into laughter. Just when Ye-eun was about to say hello to Jang Hyun-seung, she turned back curiously and saw that Julie and Jia-hu, who were originally walking and stopping normally, suddenly turned around and jogged towards her.
Quan Zhilong, who was posing, became panicked. He pulled the leash and whispered to comfort him, "Be good and move forward first."
However, the two children who had already smelled Ye-eun's scent were not willing to move forward. They took two small steps amid the fans' laughter and barked twice in that direction. They were very confused as to why their brother, who was always more excited to see his sister than themselves, did not move this time.
As they trotted, they turned their heads to look at Quan Zhilong, "Come here!" Their excited movements even pulled Quan Zhilong to turn around.
The fans were still some distance away from the red carpet. They laughed at GD's rare flustered look, as he always looked cool when walking on the red carpet. At the same time, they were curious about what was behind that attracted the puppy's attention.
They all stood on tiptoe to look back, but the distance was far and the fans could only vaguely see the artists standing and waiting at the back. Eventually they put down their tiptoes, thinking, I don’t know if there are any cameras filming that side, I should go back and watch the replay.
Yien helplessly raised her hand in front of herself and waved at Jiahu and Zhuli, making a serious NO gesture, indicating that they should not make trouble at this time.
Seeing Yien's serious expression, the two puppies stood there aggrievedly, and feeling Kwon Ji-yong's helplessness, they finally walked forward again, looking back every few steps.
Seeing Kwon Ji-yong leading the dogs who had become well-behaved again forward, Ye-eun breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye she found that all the artists waiting in line were looking at her. When she looked back, they all looked away and pretended to chat with their friends.
CL held her forehead helplessly and said, "Everyone should pretend to be more realistic." Although every time she finished a performance, she would look around in the underground garage to see which idols were in love.
Even for celebrities, curiosity and desire for gossip are terrifyingly strong. When Jang Hyun-seung heard his teammates whispering, "Are GD senior and Ye-eun senior really in love?", he couldn't help but smile, "I don't know. They were not in love when I left YG."
Hearing the other party eagerly asking for his opinion, Zhang Xiansheng tilted his head and said, "I'm really not sure. They have always been like this."
The members of Beast sighed, is it true that there are people who are not in a relationship in this state? GD senior’s dog listens to Ye Eun senior, they are definitely in love! However, thinking that these two seniors did grow up together, they began to question themselves again. Could it be that they found it incredible because they didn't have a member of the opposite sex who grew up together?
Thinking about netizens repeatedly analyzing the “love details” of the two, the idols present couldn’t help but start thinking frantically in their minds, whether they are in love or not! There's no love, the intimacy is scary. They are in love, why has no media captured any private date between them so far?
For a moment, some curious artists even wanted to take secret photos themselves.
But Ye-eun didn't know what everyone was thinking. After Kwon Ji-yong finished the interview on the red carpet and signed autographs, he walked into the venue.
The two managers who were already waiting inside the venue each led a puppy to the backstage, while Ye-eun, who was outside the venue, walked forward with the other members.
CL walked in the front, smiling and waving to the fans on the side. Some fans also smiled when they saw them.
What attracted Jiahu and another dog he had never seen before, turned out to be 2NE1.
To be precise, it’s Ye-eun.
They looked at Ye-eun who was standing behind Dara. Today they were both wearing crisp black suits, but the design of each person's clothes was different.
She was wearing a long black dress with Chinese-style wrist guards on both wrists and her hair tied into a high ponytail. Ye-eun has long legs, and the designer seemed to want to highlight this feature of hers. The black leather skirt was actually divided into two parts starting from below her hips.
On the left side, the skirt reaches her ankles, while on the right side, it turns into pants that tightly wrap around her long legs.
Under the black shawl coat, the left and right sides present different styles, with both the elegance and neatness of a Chinese martial artist and the cuteness of a female artist.
All members of 2NE1 walked forward in black clothes, with similar yet different high boots firmly stepping on the ground. At this moment, it seemed that what was under their feet was not a red carpet but a battlefield.
Several people faced the media cameras with expressionless faces. Countless flashes flashed, but their expressions remained unchanged. After the filming, they turned around and left like real heroines.
The movements are graceful and neat, a domineering style rarely seen in girl groups.
Looking at 2NE1's powerful aura, several fans couldn't help but sigh, not to mention the two puppies, when no one is around, GD would probably rush to Ye-eun and act coquettishly.
Sure enough, as soon as 2NE1 entered the venue, some audience members noticed that Kwon Ji-yong, who had been sitting bored in the guest seats, suddenly smiled.
Ye-eun looked at him. After SM was no longer present, the guest seats suddenly became much emptier. She sat down next to Quan Zhilong and turned to look at the conference hall. The huge conference hall seemed a little deserted.
Quan Zhilong lowered his head and complained quietly, "Jia Hu and Zhu Li scared me to death just now."
He had already planned on walking calmly and confidently on the red carpet with his adorable children, but who could have imagined that before they even started walking, Jiahu and Julie would lose control?
However, he took a look at Ye-eun's outfit today, his eyes full of smiles: "Can I play with this for a bit?"
Ye Eun couldn't help but look at him. This guy is really playful. He was photographed many times by fans taking pictures with his mobile phone at various award ceremonies. Everyone is afraid that they will be caught distracted by the camera, but Kwon Ji-Dragon just arrogantly posted updates at various ceremonies.
He even gave fans likes while posting...
She sighed, looked at Quan Zhilong with curious eyes, and took off the wristband on her left hand.
The metal wristband was made completely in accordance with the ancient Chinese style. Quan Zhilong turned it around and tried to put it on his wrist.
However, his wrist was a circle bigger than Yien's, and after putting it on, a gap the size of a finger was exposed at the bottom of his wrist. In the end, he had to take it off regretfully and hold Yien's hand again to put the wristband back on.
"It's pretty good." Quan Zhilong muttered softly, holding his phone and taking a picture of Ye Eun's wrist, "It's just too small, it will be better if you gain some weight."
Yien couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I gained some weight just so you can wear my jewelry, right?"
She took a look at Quan Zhilong's small suit and couldn't help asking, "Is the suit you are wearing today from Chanel?"
Most guys who choose suits would pick a shirt that fits them perfectly and a jacket that is one size larger, but he was unique and chose a small-sized jacket to wear open casually. However, it did not look weird at all, and instead, it looked very much like his own unique style.
Quan Zhilong's eyes curved, "Yes, didn't I attend the Chanel party last month?"
Both parties have the intention to cooperate. It is not an explicit endorsement. Chanel just hopes that Kwon Ji-yong can help them open up the Asian market and wear more Chanel.
Ye-eun didn't ask any more questions. After this man had gone through so many turmoil this year, some brands had actually terminated their contracts immediately. However, Chanel went against the crowd and approached Kwon Ji-yong at this time.
According to his personality, as long as Chanel doesn't backstab him, he will probably cooperate with the other party for a very long time.
Quan Zhilong's eyes curved, and he propped up his chin as he watched MAMA finally begin and sighed, "It's finally starting."
This year's MAMA was not held in South Korea, and all S/M artists were absent, so the atmosphere was not very good.
When 2NE1 went on stage to receive the "Best Female Group Award" and "Best MV Award", they quickly finished their acceptance speeches and left the stage.
The same goes for other award-winning artists. They were obviously not as excited and active as last year. The atmosphere was cold and even the winners seemed to say few words.
However, when 2NE1 came out to perform, the whole place became lively.
When Ye-eun listened to the Chinese-Korean segment "At the beginning of the universe, there were five gods. They were legends that existed somewhere in the world", her toes curled up while she stood on the stage.
So embarrassing! And this embarrassment was doubly endured by her, who could understand two languages.
"brrrr!" In the mysterious and dark musical atmosphere, CL's tongue-clicking sound appeared first. The stage instantly became brighter and the audience below could vaguely see the four girls on the stage.
One person is missing! ? They were curious and excited because the disappointment of having too few artists today disappeared, and they cheered and shouted "2NE1!"
When the camera pushed towards Dara, who represented the "Blue Dragon", Dara lowered his head slightly with an expressionless face. When the camera froze in front of him, he looked up with a sharp look in his eyes.
Blue Dragon Dara, White Tiger Minzy, Black Tiger Bom...
Until we heard about the nine-tailed fox Ye-eun. Ye-eun, with a few red feathers on her head, sat on a big red drum, with her legs crossed, making her legs look thin and long. She supported her hands behind her back and looked at the camera with a firm gaze. She did not have the charm of a fox but instead looked more ferocious like a demon.
Although she had such a fierce expression, it seemed that all the Chinese audiences were laughing. Ye-eun tried hard to control her expression.
Illusion, illusion! She comforted herself. Although she also knew how outrageous it was for China to suddenly add a nine-tailed fox to the four sacred beasts...
Kwon Ji-yong was originally looking at Ye-eun on the stage with tender eyes, but when he heard the sudden burst of laughter behind him, he turned his head and looked at her in confusion. Why was she laughing? What a great stage!
He glanced at the stage. There were girls standing in four directions on the dim stage. Performers were standing next to the big drum, gong and even many instruments he had never seen before in the middle. The masked performers were holding drumsticks and tapping them. The whole venue was filled with the mysterious sound of the instruments.
What a perfect stage! Quan Zhilong looked at the audience around him who were still laughing in confusion. What was so funny?
CL, representing Suzaku, descended from the sky with her arms spread out. Her huge red cape fluttered with her movements, setting the stage ablaze like flames.
On the big screen behind her was an image of a Vermilion Bird with its head raised proudly and howling. Everyone was so shocked by the scene that they stopped laughing and started cheering instead.
"Follow me, follow me, just like this." CL's voice slowly descended from the air. Ye Eun breathed a sigh of relief. She finally passed this part and started singing.
The red stage turned blue when "Clap Your Hands" was played, and the blue curtain floated on the stage. Ye-eun's eyes were serious and determined, and Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but raise his mobile phone to the stage with a smile on his face.
From time to time, the camera cuts to the artists' reactions and points to Kwon Ji-yong. Hearing the cheers from the audience, Kwon Ji-yong's eyes curved, but he didn't put down his phone. Instead, he continued to hold it up and film without any concern.
The five people on the stage were covered by a blue curtain. When they came out, they were wearing another set of silver armor, like female warriors of the future. In the middle of singing, their green fluorescent flashlights swayed along with the lights.
When Ye-eun changed her clothes and returned to the guest seats, Quan Zhilong couldn't help laughing, "Why did everyone laugh when you came on stage just now?"
Yien glanced at him, thinking that he was really bringing up something that was irrelevant... Why else could he do that? Because it was funny!
"Why were you laughing at me on the red carpet? Why are you laughing at me here?" She turned her head away from him and listened to the host announcing that "I" and "You and I" were nominated for the Best Digital Single Award. Her eyes curved, "Please pretend you didn't hear that laughter, okay?"
Quan Zhilong thought about it for a while and nodded seriously, but he couldn't help but think, no, I have to go back and search why everyone was laughing so exaggeratedly.
But soon his attention was drawn back to the sound on the stage.
"Congratulations to the winner of the Best Single Award - Lee Ye-eun for "I"."
He raised an eyebrow and smiled again at Ye-eun's slightly shocked look.
The camera was pointed in this direction, specifically freezing the frame on 2NE1 and Kwon Ji Yong, and everyone's cheers were incredibly loud.
Although Yi-eun was a little shocked, she still stood up and hugged Quan Zhilong openly in front of the camera. Quan Zhilong curved his eyes, hugged Yi-eun back, and said softly: "Come on stage."
It was the first time that Ye-eun received the year-end trophy by herself, and she was totally unprepared, after all, it was always CL who gave the acceptance speeches!
She held up the trophy, thinking that they had thanked everyone they should have thanked for the two awards they had just received. "As a member of 2NE1, I never expected to be standing here alone today."
Ye-eun looked at the members who were smiling at her, her eyes curved, "Thank you for your support along the way. All of us in 2NE1 will work hard to become good singers. In the end, I was able to win the Best Digital Single, thanks to my..."
She paused and looked at Quan Zhilong. A fan who had been to her first No. 1 scene shouted out, "Thank you my producer G-Dragon xi!"
The voice that sounded like it was holding a microphone was incredibly loud, and everyone around laughed. Ye-eun also nodded with a curved eye, "Thank you, my producer."
"G—Dragon xi."
The camera turned to Quan Zhilong in the guest seat at the right time. He touched the tips of his ears which were a little hot, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
