Chapter 279: Diplomatic Relations Party
Just as the three of them were chatting animatedly, San E suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
He was obviously unwilling to be overshadowed by Jin Qixuan, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Erin, we should go to rehearsal."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.
She felt that San E's attitude was a bit too much, but it was inconvenient for her to get angry, so she could only force a smile and said to Jiang Seulgi:
"Then let's go to rehearsal first and talk later."
Jiang Seulgi nodded.
Front desk scene.
Kim Ki-Hyun, Bae Joo-Hyun and San E stood together, preparing for the final rehearsal.
The rehearsal went fairly well.
Jin Qixuan demonstrated his professional dialogue skills and ability to control the situation.
Whether it was the interaction with Bae Joo-hyun or the cooperation with San E, he seemed to be at ease.
Bae Joo-hyun also demonstrated her demeanor as a senior MC, with excellent performance in facial expression management and control of lines.
As for San E...
Although he has stage experience, he seems to be lacking in coordination and expression management.
Especially in his interactions with Bae Joo-hyun and Kim Ki-hyun, he always seemed a little stiff and unnatural.
However, this does not affect the overall rehearsal effect.
After the rehearsal, the three returned to their respective waiting rooms.
Jin Qixuan sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the official performance to begin.
He was in an unusually calm mood, as if everything was under his control.
Bae Joo-hyun also returned to her waiting room and began to make final preparations for the upcoming performance.
She looked in the mirror, carefully checking her makeup and hairstyle, making sure everything was perfect.
However, there was an indescribable feeling of strangeness in her heart.
She found herself always thinking of Jin Qixuan involuntarily, thinking of his calm temperament and deep eyes.
Bae Joo-hyun shook her head, trying to put these distracting thoughts behind her and focus on the upcoming performance.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the time for the official performance finally arrived.
Kim Ki-hyeon, Bae Joo-hyun and others stood on the stage again.
"Hello everyone, I am Jin Qixuan."
"wow~"
“Ahhhh!!!”
As soon as Jin Qixuan opened his mouth, the scene immediately became lively, with cheers and applause rising one after another.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan smiled and waved to everyone around him.
Then, Pei Zhuxuan also smiled and said:
"Hello everyone, I am Red Velvet Irene. I am honored to be here today as the host of the Korea-Vietnam diplomatic event."
Then, San E also introduced himself.
I don’t know if it’s his rap habit, but he’s always swaying from side to side as if he has ADHD.
He even deliberately touched Bae Joo-hyun's arm with his elbow.
This also caused Bae Joo-hyun to unconsciously move her body closer to Kim Ki-hyeon, and even glanced at Kim Ki-hyeon.
This subtle sense of distance.
It even made San E feel that every strand of Bae Joo-hyun's hair seemed to be deliberately covering the gap between him and her.
But San E doesn't care.
Because he is about to perform on stage, returning to the field he is most familiar with.
When the time comes, he will show his most handsome side to control Bae Joo-hyun.
As San E steps down, he changes his outfit.
Bae Joo-hyun seemed to have unloaded some invisible burden, and looked a lot more relaxed.
She tilted her head slightly and tucked her hair behind her ear gracefully.
This action undoubtedly made her delicate facial features more clearly displayed in front of Jin Qixuan.
"Qixuanxi."
Pei Zhuxuan suddenly called softly.
Jin Qixuan turned his head and looked at Pei Zhuxuan's shining eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Hmm? Ailinxi, what's wrong?"
Pei Zhuxuan blinked and said mysteriously: "Do you know? There is a little-known historical origin between our two countries."
Jin Qixuan pretended to think, and said:
"Oh? What is the historical origin? I don't seem to know it clearly."
Pei Zhuxuan smiled, as if she had anticipated Jin Qixuan's reaction:
"About 900 years ago, in 1127, a Vietnamese prince settled in Cheongju, Goryeo, and has lived on the peninsula ever since. This history bears witness to the deep friendship between our two countries."
Jin Qixuan showed a surprised expression after hearing this:
"Really? I didn't know that. It's really touching that the two countries have such a long history."
Pei Zhuxuan nodded and continued:
"Yes, it is precisely because of this historical background that our Korea-Vietnam diplomatic relations event today is even more significant. But Qixuanxi, do you have any special feelings about this?"
Jin Qixuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think this history is not only a testimony to the friendship between our two countries, but also the cornerstone of our future cooperation. We should cherish this historical origin and work together to create a better future. However, compared to this, where did San Exi go?"
Pei Zhuxuan chuckled and said, "Ah~ Let's try to summon him."
The two smiled at each other and shouted at the same time:
"1, 2, 3--San E!"
Following this call, the lights on the stage began to change and dynamic music slowly sounded.
San E walked out from the side stage.
Although his appearance is not outstanding, even a little wretched.
But once he stood in the field he was familiar with, San E seemed like a different person.
He quickly livened up the atmosphere and drew the audience's attention back to the stage.
However, Kim Ki-Hyun and Bae Joo-Hyun paid almost no attention to San E's performance.
The two of them lowered their heads at the same time, concentrating on reciting the next words silently.
I don’t know what he was thinking when he was originally showing off in the middle of the stage.
The position gradually moves from the center of the stage to the host desk.
As the sound got closer.
The two of them had no choice but to follow the festival and take photos to show their support for him.
What’s funnier is that San E originally wanted to run and jump onto the podium.
Stun the audience with a handsome pose.
But it may be that he usually neglects leg training.
After the run-up, he did not jump onto the podium.
I had to go up the stairs from the back awkwardly.
Jin Qixuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter after seeing this scene.
But I don’t know what this guy was thinking after he came on stage.
She pointed her little finger at Bae Joo-hyun and sang the shocking lyrics: "Looking at your photo makes me stand up like a conditioned reflex..."
"You look very pretty, and I want to have sex with you."
"Who is your mother? I want to meet her."
"Even if I know I'll regret it tomorrow, I still want to touch you."
…
His lyrics are explicit and direct, filled with inappropriate innuendos towards Bae Joo-hyun.
Bae Joo-hyun was stunned by his actions and the lyrics.
To be honest, Jin Qixuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
So she forced her way between the two of them and used the microphone to block San E's teasing.
Seeing this, San E, with an upset expression on his face as if he couldn't attract any girls, had to retreat to the center of the stage in disappointment.
At this time, Bae Joo-hyun gave Jin Qixuan a grateful look.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan shook his head slightly, indicating that she didn't need to take it too seriously.
…
After the little episode, the performance on stage was not affected too much and continued in an orderly manner.
At this time, there were fans in the audience shouting at Jin Qixuan.
Jin Qixuan turned around and saw that it was a female fan from Vietnam who sent him flowers.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan smiled, walked off the stage to receive the flowers, and chatted with them in broken Vietnamese.
At this time, San E returned to the host seat after finishing his performance.
I saw Bae Joo-hyun's eyes were moving on Kim Ki-hyeon.
I don't know what he was thinking, but suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder.
Bae Joo-hyun was startled.
Turn around and look.
San E was sticking his tongue out at her with a lecherous look.
“…”
Fortunately, Jin Qixuan came back at this time.
Stopped Bae Joo-hyun's clenched fists in time.
After that, Jin Qixuan stood in the middle position.
Pushed Bae Joo-hyun to the side.
Her little face remained tense until the end of the show.
Even Ending's smile when taking photos was not as happy as she usually showed.
After the show ended, Bae Joo-hyun went backstage to pack up her things.
"Oh, today is such a bad day..."
Bae Joo-hyun rubbed her brows tiredly.
Just then, she suddenly noticed a bouquet of flowers next to the bag.
"Um?"
If I remember correctly, this bouquet of flowers seemed to be what Jin Qixuan just received from his fans.
Bae Joo-hyun took a closer look and saw a purple card sandwiched between the flowers.
I picked it up and saw: [Irene xi, please don’t pay attention to those evildoers, keep shining, you are the best. PS: put the flowers in a nice vase, and do your best. ]
Bae Joo-hyun looked at the flowers and cards, as if she saw Kim Ki-hyeon writing seriously.
"Tsk, you're not sincere. You should buy the flowers yourself..."
Although she said that, the corners of her mouth still curled up.
Just then, the other four girls returned to the backstage waiting room.
Receiving flowers is a common thing for them.
However, staring at the cards in a daze is obviously not a common thing.
So the four girls came forward curiously.
"Ouni, who sent this?"
Pei Zhuxuan's thoughts were interrupted and she came back to her senses.
Looking at the four pairs of eyes flashing with gossip.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Jin Qixuan gave it to me."
Hearing this, the four girls immediately revealed meaningful smiles.
Jiang Seqi even joked directly:
"It seems that our unnie is really charming. Even the national boyfriend is bewitched by her."
"Yeah, it seems like no man can resist Unnie's beauty."
“kkkk…”
…
Facing the chattering and teasing of my younger sisters.
Bae Joo-hyun's pretty face blushed slightly, and she could only briefly explain the little incident that had just happened on the stage.
"He just saw that I was in a bad mood, so he sent flowers to comfort me."
"Oh~ So that's how it is~~"
Son Seungwan's last syllable took eight turns, his face full of mockery.
Bae Joo-hyun is a little overwhelmed by her younger sisters.
I didn't want them to see my shyness, so I had to put on a serious face.
Seeing this, they stopped chattering.
Just pack your things honestly.
But when they were packing up, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was full of smiles.
late at night.
Bae Joo-hyun hid in the quilt, the light from the mobile phone screen in her hand shining on her face.
Just like other idols.
She also likes to search for news about herself in her free time.
So she tapped the screen and typed in the keyword "Irene".
Suddenly, an entry called "Irene and Jin Qixuan" caught my eye.
Seeing this, Bae Joo-hyun began to feel conflicted.
Ahhhh, is this really okay? However, in the end, she couldn't resist her curiosity and gently clicked on the entry.
The latest photo of "Irene and Kim Kye Hyun" shows Kim Kye Hyun squeezing in between San E and Bae Joo Hyun.
Bae Joo-hyun covered her face with the script, and there seemed to be a special light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Kim Ki-hyeon.
The emotion revealed in that look surprised even Bae Joo-hyun herself.
Scroll down to see all the sweet comments:
"Jin Qixuan is so manly, standing right in front of Irene!"
"Ah, this is too sweet! Is Qixuan Oppa protecting our Irene?"
“Wow, Irene’s eyes are so gentle when she looks at Qixuan. I’m touched!”
"Jin Qixuan knows how to take care of people. With him around, Irene shouldn't be sad today."
"Sure enough, you have to hold the script to cover your eyes when watching Jin Qixuan, otherwise you will be moved."
“I think Irene is already moved~”
Bae Joo-hyun read through the comments one by one and her face suddenly turned red.
"Oh my god, what am I doing? Looking at the sweet stuff between me and Jin Qixuan?!"
Bae Joo-hyun muttered to herself, then threw her phone away and rolled over in the quilt.
However, although she tried to divert her attention in this way, Jin Qixuan's figure still lingered in her mind.
"Ahhh, I don't want to think about this anymore!"
Just at this moment, Jiang Seqi happened to push the door open.
Her eyes fell on the quilt that was twisting and turning on the bed. She saw it rolling to the east and moving to the west.
Seeing this, Jiang Seulgi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Ouni, what are you doing? Are you practicing some new dance moves? Or has the quilt become your stage and you want to perform a big drama on it?"
Hearing the sound, Bae Joo-hyun's body instantly stiffened in the quilt.
He carefully exposed his head, put on a serious expression, and explained to Jiang Seulgi:
"Ah, Seulgi, you're here. I was just...looking for my phone. Yes, I was looking for my phone."
Jiang Seul-ki looked at Bae Joo-hyun's obviously guilty look, and an expression of "I don't believe you" appeared on her face.
She glanced at Bae Joo-hyun's cheeks that were as red as a tomato, and then noticed the phone with the screen on the bed, and she instantly understood about 70% of the situation.
Then, he said meaningfully: "The next time we meet will probably be at the SBS year-end stage."
"SBS year-end stage..."
Jiang Seulgi walked to the bed and sat down. Looking at Pei Zhuxuan's expectant look, she couldn't help but joked:
"It seems like you're looking forward to the year-end performance. Is it because you can see Kim Ki-hyun?"
Pei Zhuxuan's blush deepened when she heard this. She waved her hand and denied it:
"Hey, Seulgi, don't say that. I just think it's a very happy thing to be able to perform on the year-end stage with everyone."
Jiang Suqi couldn't help laughing when she saw Bae Joo Hyun's attempt to cover up her secret.
But she wasn't joking. She just turned around and raised her eyebrows before leaving.
"Ouni, don't stay up late looking at your phone."
"ah……"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on her face.
Although the interaction between her and Jin Qixuan made her mood fluctuate a little.
But she also knew that this was just a temporary emotion.
She can't let this affect her work and life.
Besides, she has a lot of things to do and can't be distracted by these things.
Then, Bae Joo-hyun gently turned off the lights, lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
The other side.
After returning to his residence, Jin Qixuan made a video call with Li Zhien on time.
"How was your concert today?"
Li Zhien showed a helpless smile on the screen and said: "It's so cold that I have a runny nose."
"Hmm?" Jin Qixuan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Lee Ji-eun sniffed lightly and explained, "Inna-unnie said she has a lot of schedules today and may not be able to come to my concert."
At this point, Li Zhien couldn't help laughing and continued:
“I didn’t expect that Unnie actually brought a box of cantaloupe and ice cream to the concert. She seems like an elderly person who doesn’t know how to surf the Internet and doesn’t even know the hot memes, kkkk…”
(This meme originated from a message a wife sent to her husband that was mistakenly sent to a courier, and the courier actually brought the items as per the message. Then this meme became popular on Peninsula.com.) "Ah... then what?"
"Then I ate the ice cream in the cold wind, and ended up shivering when I got on stage..."
As Lee Ji-eun spoke, she shivered slightly, as if she could still feel the cold.
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan felt both distressed and amused:
"You two are really... one dares to give gifts and the other dares to eat, hahahaha... Was this concert a success?"
Li Zhien nodded, a smug smile appeared on her face, and said: "Of course, what about you, do you have any interesting things over there?"
"Well... I played the role of a flower protector."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Afterwards, Jin Qixuan recounted to Li Zhien what happened on the stage today.
Hearing this, Li Zhien pursed her lips and said, "You did a great job. You deserve praise."
Seeing that Li Zhien was not sincere, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but shook his head and laughed:
"Can you please be more careful when praising me? Why do you have such an expression?"
"As a woman, I applaud your chivalry. But as a girlfriend, I am a little jealous of your actions."
"envy?"
"Yeah, of course I would be jealous when I saw you being nice to other girls. I guess you stole her heart at that time."
Lee Ji-eun on the other end of the video pouted and said sourly.
"Oh, that's normal, after all, I'm so charming~"
As he spoke, Jin Qixuan lifted his hair in a very showy manner and said.
Hearing this, Li Zhien's eyes widened and she scolded: "Hey, Jin Qixuan, it's been a long time since I last beat you up."
“…”
"Hey, just a joke."
"So how is your relationship with Irene now? Does she have any special feelings for you?"
Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and replied:
"As for the relationship, it's just an acquaintance. As for the special feelings... I don't know about that. After all, feelings are something I can't control."
"Humph, you'd better control yourself." Li Zhien reminded: "Don't forget what I told you before, if you dare to cheat, I will chop Xiao Qixuan off."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan suddenly felt a chill in his lower body and subconsciously covered Xiao Jin.
"Ahem, if this situation really happens, my uncle will first take action to eliminate me who has ruined the family tradition... So, you can rest assured."
Li Zhien kept making threatening gestures with a knife in the video and said, "Hehe, it's better this way."
Seeing that the conversation was becoming more and more dangerous, Jin Qixuan changed the subject in time.
"By the way, I saw on the news that Suzy is dating Uncle Suema???"
"Yes, there is such a thing. I heard from Suzy that they didn't talk about it at first, and then after it was reported by D agency, the two of them discussed it and decided to give it a try first."
Jin Qixuan couldn't help but sighed: "Wow, really... 6, you can try this..."
"Haha, that's really bold. But come to think of it, they're a good match."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan imagined it for a moment, shook his head, and said slowly: "Are they a good match? I think Dongxu and Inna have a stronger sense of CP, as if they are a destined couple. As for Suzy, well... it's a bit like an old cow eating young grass, haha."
“Tsk, no way! Inna-unnie is mine, no one can take her away from me!”
Jin Qixuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He shook his head and said jokingly, "Hey, Xiao Li, you don't want Sister Inna to be single for the rest of her life, do you?"
"Of course not, I'm just saying that. Inna is such a good person, she will definitely find someone who is truly suitable for her."
"I hope so, but when do we rehearse?"
"My last concert will be over on the 10th. I'll invite you then."
"OK."
The conversation between Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
After hanging up the video.
Jin Qixuan lay on the bed, resting his arms on his head, staring at the starry sky liquid wallpaper on the ceiling in a daze.
Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated.
Jin Qixuan picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Bae Joo-hyun.
【Thank you for the flowers you sent me. They are very beautiful. 】
Jin Qixuan took a look.
I didn't want to go back.
But this "read" system is really a bit stupid...
So, he simply replied: [You’re welcome. I hope you feel better soon.]
After sending the message, Jin Qixuan put down his phone, closed his eyes and began to rest.
On the other side, Bae Joo-hyun looked at Jin Qixuan's reply and curled the corners of her mouth.
In fact, she had indeed closed her eyes and rested just now.
But... I can't sleep.
So I just sent a message to Jin Qixuan.
She didn't expect him to reply.
After all, it's already late.
Even though it was just a simple “You’re welcome, I hope you feel better soon.”
But for her, that was enough.
I saw that the other party had no desire to chat anymore.
Bae Joo-hyun put her phone aside, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Although there are still some thoughts in my mind.
But she still tried to calm herself down.
