Chapter 094 Tickets
"I won't quit." Ji Qifeng's answer was resounding.
The mother in front of him seemed not to hear his answer, and kept talking to herself: "You haven't graduated yet, this experience can still be concealed, deal with it as soon as possible..."
"Mom, I never thought about quitting." Ji Qifeng repeated again.
Ji's mother looked at him and continued, "Show the contract to your father, he will handle the subsequent formalities..."
Realizing that he was being completely ignored, Ji Qifeng lowered his eyes to the ground and emptied his mind. When both his parents stopped talking, he spoke again: "Mom and Dad, I have made up my mind. No matter what you say, I will not quit."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole living room became quiet and even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.
After a long while, Ji's mother said, "Do you understand what you are saying?"
Ji Qifeng said seriously: "I understand, this is my choice."
"If you continue like this, it won't help your future life at all." Ji's mother spoke faster: "The entertainment industry is not the one you should choose. It's just a waste of time in a place like this. There's no point..."
"It's just that you think it's meaningless. In my eyes, this is what I want to do." Ji Qifeng raised his head and looked directly at the two of them: "In the past, I never had anything special I wanted to do, so I always followed the path you arranged for me, but this time is different..."
"What's the difference? Won't you be harassed by that crazy person?!" Ji's mother couldn't stand it any more: "If you choose someone else, your parents won't say anything, but the entertainment industry is so chaotic, what should you do if you encounter this kind of situation again?"
As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly: "Can you let your father and I rest assured and not..." It was more of a plea than an objection.
"Mom... I'm sorry." Ji Qifeng finally realized that his parents' opposition was not just because they disliked the entertainment industry, but also because of their worries and uneasiness. He felt a little guilty: "I have always wanted to say sorry about that matter. I made you hurt and worried."
Then, Ji Qifeng changed the subject: "But I won't give up because of this reason. I have decided to go on with everyone. This is not just my own business. If continuing to live here will cause trouble to you, I will move out immediately, but I will not quit no matter what."
"Why? Do you know that there are many people making malicious speculations about you online?" Ji's mother never said anything, but that didn't mean she knew nothing.
After that incident some time ago, I also began to learn about Wax&Wane’s experiences over the past six months. I have been involved in several scandals, and although they were all resolved properly, it does not mean that the malicious words spoken when the truth was not known will disappear.
Although they are not from a wealthy family, they are unwilling to watch Ji Qifeng endure all this for the sake of a glamorous career. It’s just that at this age, his father and mother are busy with their own careers and neglect to pay attention to him, so he doesn’t know how to express it.
Ji Qifeng was very calm: "I know all this, but is there anything that doesn't require a price to be paid?"
Ji's mother said: "You can live a more normal life, and you will never be misunderstood and hurt like you are now."
"Mom, why did you insist on working on the clinical frontline after encountering a medical dispute? You said at the time that you could choose to be transferred to an administrative position." Ji Qifeng mentioned something that happened a few years ago, when Ji's mother encountered a serious medical dispute.
The patient's family members did not agree with the diagnosis and treatment process, so they rushed to the hospital with a knife the next day to retaliate. Although they were not Ji's mother's patient, they were accidentally injured because the other party was emotionally agitated and out of control. Fortunately, no important organs were damaged and the patient was rescued in time, so he escaped the disaster. The whole family was frightened for a long time.
Mother Ji was stunned and said subconsciously: "Because there are many other patients who need me, and the hospital later installed security checks, so this kind of thing has become less common."
"In the end, it's because there are more important things that make you want to persevere, right?" Ji Qifeng said seriously: "For me, it's the same with idol work. Because there are more important things I want to do, I can endure these and continue to persevere."
Ji's mother retorted: "This is different. I am curing illnesses and saving lives. This is not a joke."
"The job of an idol is no joke. Many people will feel happy and joyful because of our efforts. This cannot be replaced by anything else." A sentence suddenly appeared in his heart. Ji Qifeng said as a matter of course: "Some people need the existence of idols, need us, so we must continue."
Initially I just wanted to express my thoughts to my family, but during this process I realized why I wanted to persevere. Yes, he is needed, Wax & Wane are needed, and this is something only they can do.
Ji Qifeng couldn't suppress the eagerness in his heart and smiled slightly.
Mother Ji looked at his expression and sighed silently, not knowing what else to say.
Father Ji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "You are no longer a child. As an adult, you must be responsible for the choices you make. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Ji Qifeng nodded vigorously: "I'm sure."
"Find time to move out." After saying that, Ji's father stood up, turned around and left without saying anything else.
Ji Qifeng was stunned. Does this mean he agreed? Then he looked at his mother beside him.
Even though Ji's mother was worried, when she saw the passion in Ji Qifeng's eyes that she had never seen before, she realized that she could no longer stop him as he had already grown up, so she had to compromise.
Seeing his mother's concerns, Ji Qifeng repeatedly explained that the current security measures were very good and that the previous situation would not occur again, hoping that she could be more at ease.
Finally, Ji Qifeng took out two expired Wax&Wane fan meeting tickets from the room and handed them to her.
"This is..." Ji's mother looked at the ticket. The ticket was a little wrinkled, probably because it had been held tightly and put down countless times.
Ji Qifeng pursed his lips and said, "I didn't give you the event tickets before. You can come to see me next time...if you want." His voice was a little low at the end.
Ji's mother looked at the two tickets quietly and took them.
On a quiet night, everyone has different feelings in their hearts.

The next day, as soon as the work was finished, Ji Qifeng was pulled aside by An Juesui to ask about the situation.
"What's going on?" An Juesui seemed to be more anxious than Ji Qifeng.
Ji Qifeng thought for a while and said, "In the end, it can be considered as an agreement." Although he couldn't completely eliminate their concerns at the moment, as long as he took the first step, he would prove himself.
"Huh... that's good." An Juesui patted his chest and said, "Uncle and aunt are usually very serious. I was worried that they would object."
This was completely guessed by An Juesui. Ji Qifeng smiled bitterly: "Besides, I'm going to move out of my home."
An Juesui blinked: "Huh? So sudden?"
Ji Qifeng nodded: "I don't want to cause them any more trouble."
"That's true... Actually, I've had this idea recently." An Juesui suddenly had an idea: "Qifeng, how about we rent together?"
Before Ji Qifeng could reply to him, he saw Jingxing suddenly appear from behind.
"What do you mean by sharing a house?" Jing Xing heard the word as soon as he came over, and his eyes swept between the two of them: "Didn't you live at home before? Now you want to rent a house together?"
Shen Xun and Jiang Hechu also came over.
"What are you guys talking about? The car is about to start. Let's talk in the car."
An Juesui then noticed that the agent had been waving them over from a distance, and they got into the car while chatting casually.
"Captain, you live near the company now, right?" An Juesui decided to collect some useful rental information.
"Well, it's usually quite convenient to live here." Shen Xun replied.
"Ah, I also wish I could live closer to here so that I can sleep a little longer every day." Jingxing rubbed his eyes. As the release date was approaching, his schedule was too full recently. Even though he loved staying up late, he still had to honestly and every minute counted to find time to sleep.
An Juesui also sighed: "I haven't been sleeping well at night recently. I think it will get better if I get more sleep."
Shen Xun looked at him. After removing his makeup, he did have two faint dark circles under his eyes. "Did we practice too late yesterday? We should get some rest."
Wu Wen turned around upon hearing the voice and said, "By the way, Chen Xun, here's the script for you." Then he took out the script of "The False Detective" and handed it over.
Shen Xun took the script and put it away carefully, thinking about the parts where he didn't perform well yesterday and planned to practice it again in the evening.
Without him saying anything, An Juesui made an agreement with him: "Captain, let's continue tonight." An Juesui, who was full of energy and never felt sleepy during the day, actually yawned twice in succession at this moment.
"Don't stay up too late. You'll have to attend several offline events in the next few days before the release date, which will consume a lot of energy." Wu Wen saw that he looked sleepy and remembered the topic they had just talked about: "It is indeed more convenient to live near the company. If anyone wants to move here, I will help you find a house together."
"Qifeng and I will definitely move here." Anjue counted the ages: "Jingxing, what about you?"
The temptation to sleep a little longer was so great that Jingxing agreed with a yawn.
Jiang Hechu thought for a while and said, "I'll move here too." Although he could drive to and from get off work, the traffic conditions in City A were really unbearable, so it would be more convenient to live closer.
"In this case, all five of you will live near the company..." Wu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Does it feel convenient to live in this house now?"
This time, the place for the training camp was still chosen not far from the company. Wu Wen had specially inspected it and found that the security facilities were very good. There were staff on duty in the lobby 24 hours a day and the management was stricter.
The five people all had good reviews about this place. Wu Wen and Lin Chi Ran contacted each other and decided to just make a deal, changing the short-term accommodation to long-term stay. It just so happens that the members all have their clothes and belongings here, so there’s no need to rush to pack them up, they can take their time to sort them out and move them over.
After getting used to the dormitory life, the members adapted to living under the same roof, or rather, they enjoyed it, and thus welcomed the release date of the second single.
Early in the morning on a weekday, everyone was taken to the event site.
