Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Detention and Blockade
Since arriving in Kagoshima, it has been like a paradise for the four of us. Every day we think about what delicious food to eat, and then we just look at the sea, drink wine and daydream. It has truly become a vacation trip, and we sleep up to 15 hours a day.
Quan Xingai was even more fond of sleeping, and he was so drunk that he didn't know what day it was.
Until one day, she was woken by the persistent ringing of the phone. It was like thunder and lightning disturbing her sleep. She picked up the phone angrily and yelled, "What are you doing?"
"Hey, is Quan Xing Ai Ni still in Japan?" Wu Xianhao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, what's wrong? I'm here..." Quan Xingai said weakly.
"Have you seen the news? The epidemic in South Korea is getting serious. For 30 days, people from severely affected areas will be banned from entering the country, including Japan. You're not still in Kagoshima, are you?"
"Oh, I'm in Kagoshima. What epidemic?... No, there isn't one..." Quan Xingai was still confused and didn't know the seriousness of the situation.
"Ah! Wake up!! All Star Loves You can't go back to China! Still sleeping!" Wu Xianhao shouted on the other end of the phone!
Quan Xing Ai woke up now, took off her blindfold and sat up. "What??? You, you, you, tell me again, why can't I go back?"
"You can check it out online yourself. The epidemic in Japan is more serious than that in China where you can't go back! Are there any cases in Kagoshima? You, you, you are really making me anxious to death." Wu Xianhao called Xing Ai in the office for 2 hours before the other party answered. He was so anxious that he was fuming, and the child here was still sleeping!
"Hey, Lei Xuete! I, I don't pay attention to this kind of news every day here! Let me check." She just woke up from a dream. She only heard Wu Xianhao say that there was an epidemic. She was instantly awakened. She rushed downstairs in her pajamas and knocked on Park Jin Li's door. "Ouni, Jin Li, He La Ouni, we have an epidemic here??"
Then everyone in the room was awakened by the news.
"Hey, Jeon Seong-ae is not alone? Who else? Park Jin-ri? He-ra? Are you with them?" Wu Xianhao was chattering on the other end of the phone, but Jeon Seong-ae had her hands hanging down and didn't notice him at all. After waking up the two unnies, she ran to the third floor to find Kwon Ji-yong, and then she hurriedly remembered that she was still on the phone with Brother Hyun-ho.
"Sorry, sorry, brother, let me ask about the situation here first. Don't worry, I'm in good health now and I'm fine."
"What's wrong? Why is it so noisy?" Quan Zhilong was awakened by the noise. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door with a depressed look on his face.
“!!!! Why is there a man’s voice?!” Wu Xianhao collapsed.
"...Sorry, brother, let's talk later." Quan Xingai hung up the phone and said to Quan Zhilong, "It's good that you're awake. Hurry down and go downstairs. Big news!!"
Fifteen minutes later, four sleepy-eyed guys with messy hair sat in front of the TV with computers and tablets beside them.
Quanxing loves to watch reports from local TV stations. Fortunately, she had heard it wrong. There were no cases in Kyushu, but the epidemic in Tokyo was serious. The TV station was calling on citizens to reduce going out and reduce gatherings.
"Fortunately, the epidemic in Japan is indeed very serious, but not in Kyushu. We are temporarily safe across the Seto Inland Sea." Quan Xingai looked solemn.
"I found the official announcement from South Korea, which was released last night. All incoming people will be subject to compulsory quarantine for 14 days, and people from areas with severe epidemics will be prohibited from entering the country within 30 days. Japan is included..." Park Jinri and He La searched the Internet for the news and started talking.
"Special personnel can report for entry when returning to the country, but I'm afraid it's not suitable for us artists. The target is too big and will cause public dissatisfaction." Kwon Ji-yong said after searching the complete policy on his mobile phone.
"Yeah...if you say you've returned from Japan now, you'll be drowned in saliva..." Quan Xingai sighed.
"Then let's stay here for the time being. The number of cases in Seoul is increasing every day. Maybe it's safer here." Park Jin-ri comforted the two.
"More than that, I have to explain to the company that I'm with you guys. More importantly...Oppa, I also have to explain that I was supposed to go out to relax and find inspiration, so why did I come out to play with you..."
Quan Zhilong touched his nose and said in a low voice, "There is a scandal anyway, so it's better for the innocent to be cleared."
"Fortunately, you didn't post on social media and didn't say that you were also in Japan..." Quan Xingai remembered that just a few days after she won the right to post on social media, her fans found out that she was on vacation in Japan. Now, the whole world knows that she can't return to China.
Park Jin-ri and He-ra covered their mouths and laughed secretly. It seems that these two people are arguing with each other again. After spending the past few days together, Park Jin-ri has discovered that don’t mind Quan Xingai’s classmate’s disrespect and outspokenness. You see, Brother Zhilong is enjoying it completely.
After reading the news and sorting out their current situation, the four of them felt a little relieved. Quan Xingai knelt on the mat and made a voice call to her agent.
"Finally you called back and found a good reason to explain?" Wu Xianhao was in the conference room, accompanied by Chi Mingzhen, and both of them were wearing masks.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't come out alone. I made an appointment with Park Jinri and Hara. We are now in the suburbs of Kagoshima. You can rest assured about the epidemic. There are hardly any people here. We are the only ones living within a few kilometers. Don't worry." Quan Xingai explained with a well-behaved look on her face.
"What's with that man's voice?" Wu Xianhao crossed his arms.
"Oh, that's... she's a good friend of Park Jin-ri and Ho-ra, so she came here together."
"Good friends? You only mention others, but what about yourself? You are so secretive. Are you also an artist?" Wu Xianhao and Ji Mingzhen became more and more curious.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I just happened to be coming to Japan so I came here with Xing Ai. Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Quan Zhilong's voice sounded from behind, and he said to the agent on the other side of the video with a smile.
"G...GGGD? Remember to get out of here? Am I seeing right..." Wu Xianhao's eyes suddenly widened, "You...could it be, hiss, could it be?" He remembered seeing Jeon Seong-ae and Kwon Ji-yong standing together on New Year's Eve. These two really were having an affair.
"No, don't worry, senior. No one knows I'm here. It won't have any impact on Xing Ai."
Jeon Seong-ae nodded vigorously. Park Jin-ri and Ho-ra also came over and said together, "Sorry, seniors, we can't return to our country for the time being, so we asked Seong-ae not to tell anyone that we are in Japan."
When Wu Xianhao saw Park Jin-ri and He La, he sighed. Ji Mingzhen knew that they had a good relationship, and that Jeon Xingai was safe in Japan and had friends around her, so they were relieved.
"Be careful in Japan. Wear a mask and use disinfectant when you go out. Also, your fans all know that you are trapped in Japan. The company has approved your application to open a Toktik account. You should run your own account this month. And don't forget the songs from the new album. The seniors are also learning from them." Wu Xianhao nagging like an old father.
Quan Xingai felt warm inside because they cared about her.
"Arasso, don't worry, bro. Are Eunmi, Jinwen, and Yeonjin all okay? How's the situation in Seoul now?"
"Hey, everyone is working from home. There are not many people in the company right now. It's just that you are staying in Japan and can't come back. In China, you just stay at home and don't go out. It's all the same." Wu Xianhao shook his head.
"Okay, then we'll contact you again when we have new news."
After hanging up the video, Quan Xingai sighed. She was finally reborn and had planned to restart her music journey, but how come the new coronavirus outbreak suddenly broke out all over the world... She just checked online and saw that the whole world was in chaos, with lockdowns everywhere and everyone was locked up at home.
"Why are you sighing? The company is just worried about your tone, and they don't blame you." Park Jinri asked.
"I'm sighing about the unpredictability of life. How could an epidemic break out suddenly? It seems like the whole world has stopped and everyone is locked up at home." Quan Xingai slumped his shoulders and changed from kneeling to sitting like a duck.
"Fortunately, there are four of us in the girls' dormitory," Hela said happily.
"Ah, there's one more." The three of them looked at the only boy.
"Then please take in a poor little boy like me." Even in front of three juniors younger than him, Quan Zhilong still acted as if it was natural. The more familiar they were, the more natural it was. He even sat in the same duck position as the girl next to him. The delicate Quan Zhilong tilted his head and looked at Quan Xingai. Sitting side by side with her, the two looked particularly harmonious.
"Our Zhilong is such a baby." Quan Xingai imitated Quan Zhilong's smile and teased him.
Park Jin-ri smiled secretly, and then couldn't help but take a picture of the two of them looking silly with her mobile phone.
"Let's go to Dacai to buy some food to store, and then live in seclusion here. There is no one living nearby anyway." Hela suggested.
"Okay, okay, I like shopping in the supermarket!" Jeon Xingai was the first to raise her hand in response, followed by Park Jinri who also raised her hand excitedly. During the week she lived with Xingai in Seoul, she also fell in love with shopping in the supermarket.
After a quick discussion, the group changed clothes, donned masks, and headed to a large supermarket in the suburbs. They didn't dare venture into the city. Fortunately, Kagoshima is sparsely populated, usually a cruise ship port. Now, during the off-season, the tourism industry's darkest hour, there were even fewer people here. The entire supermarket was filled with only a handful of people shopping.
The four of them had to stay here for a month, and they went shopping almost once a week. They all tacitly chose a lot of simple and easy-to-make barbecues and seafood, and moved several boxes of wine. They felt like they were going to indulge themselves to the fullest this month.
In the living area, Quan Xingai saw a guitar and a complete set of camping equipment. She thought about her own video account and felt that at this time when everyone's time was stagnant, she could post some videos of music, the sea, and camping, to report to her fans and to increase her exposure.
Seeing Quan Xingai lost in thought over her guitar, Quan Zhilong took down the best guitar on the wall without saying a word and said, "This is a small city. This Yamaha is the best one. If you want to create music, you can make do with it for now."
"Oppa, how did you know I wanted to create music?"
"When you saw the guitar, your expression already expressed the words 'I long for music'." Kwon Ji-yong, who hadn't shaved for a few days and had once again become a decadent artist, strummed the strings of the guitar.
"RIOT DOLLS is preparing a new album and has mandated songwriting for everyone, but being stuck here and living in seclusion has made me want to write only country music."
Quan Zhilong raised an eyebrow. "As for your RD positioning, you still need to be market-oriented. It's not the time to express yourself yet. But who says country music can't become mainstream? You can give it a try. Guitar is a great way to express your tone."
The four of them returned to the villa by the sea. The first thing Quan Xingai did was to move out the camping equipment and set it up on the beach. He also hung up strings of colored lights and ambient lights, and took pictures with his mobile phone to see the quiet sea in the blues moment, the warm lights, and the swaying electronic candlesticks.
"Star Love You, hold the guitar and move forward a little, this is the position, okay, I'll shout 123action——" The one holding the mobile phone to film was Kwon Ji-yong who volunteered. He wanted to be the first director, and then the next time it would be Park Jin-ri, and then it would be He Ra, and everyone would take turns filming.
The theme of the first video is Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" played on a beach guitar. The song's title was "Wake Me Up When September Ends", but it was changed to "Wake Me Up When February Ends" by All Star Love during the performance.
In Kwon Ji-yong's lens, Jeon Seong-ae is simply wearing a long skirt and sweatshirt, with no matching outfit to speak of. But her confidence and natural aura make her full of charm. She sings with her guitar, getting more and more excited as she sings. Even shouting at the deserted beach and sea can create the momentum of a beach music festival...
"...When my memory becomes silent, I will never forget what I have lost. Please wake me up at the end of February." Quan Xingai's voice became slightly hoarse while holding the guitar, and the penetrating power when it burst out at the end made this video vlog look like an unreachable poem and distance in the silent lockdown.
[My dear girl, you are locked up in Japan and can't go back, yet you still have such a good attitude! ]
【Ahhhhhhh baby, pay attention, wear a mask! 】
Is Dao 2 in Japan with her teammates? Can anyone tell me where she is? The temperature in the coastal city doesn't seem too cold.
[No, my teammates are in Korea. All three have updated their social media photos. Eunmi is in Jeju Island, and the other two are in Seoul.]
Someone is filming Jeon Seong-ae, so who is she with? Could she be her romantic partner? Are Song Kang and Cha Eun-woo in Korea?
[No updates yet. I don't know where those two are. Song Cang even interacted with Dao 2's social media, so he didn't go with them.]
[Let's not talk about who Quan Xing Ai is with, but a clip of her video has gone viral on short videos. YouTube has the full 5-minute version, but the 30-second clip of her singing to a non-existent audience toward the ocean has already received over a million likes and has even become a trending topic.]
Her cover video is really good. It's not only popular on short video platforms, but also on YouTube. Several reaction bloggers commented on her cover. I can only say that everyone is bored being locked up at home.
This woman singing with a guitar seems to have changed her style again! She's changed every month since her comeback, becoming more charming every month. Ahhhh, help me, I think I've fallen in love with her! She looks like a sweetheart, but her singing is so powerful. Her face is amazing, her voice is amazing, and her stage performance is even better!
[This shot was actually taken with a cell phone. The camera movement is very good, it feels very professional, and the picture is beautiful.]
[I’m a country bumpkin, so I’ll say it first: Wife! Wife! My wife!!]
[“Wait till the next morning, can you please give me the photo you secretly took of me watching the sea last time?” Sorry, this is the lyrics that came to my mind.]
[When my wife turned her head with her long hair blowing in the wind, her nose turned red. So cute, kawaii!]
[Xing Ai baby will be staying in Japan for a month. During this month, can you often see our baby updating vlogs?]
Bao's short video account has already amassed a million followers in just three days! It's terrifying!
