"Aniha Saiyo, Chi Jingyuan is one meter~"
After the opening credits of the third episode of the variety show, the screen flashed and Chi Jingyuan appeared in the center of the camera.
The first two episodes were in a very orthodox variety show shooting format, telling some matters about the preparation of this solo album from a third-person perspective, but the perspective of this episode was obviously different at the beginning. The lighting was a little dim, and it looked like it was in a bedroom indoors. There was no one else around except Chi Jingyuan. It looked like he was filming it by himself with a handheld camera, a bit like a VLOG format.
Chi Jingyuan in the camera is completely without makeup. You can clearly see the condition of his skin from a close distance. He wears a pair of black-framed plain glasses on his nose. Even his hair is not carefully groomed and hangs down casually. He looks like he is at home after get off work and does not look like a business person. He looks very different from the radiant idol style on the stage.
However, although the lighting was a bit dim, this shot instantly brightened the eyes of many viewers and fans who watched it for the first time.
After seeing so many faces full of powder and exquisite makeup, suddenly seeing this kind of natural face without any makeup, which is inherently handsome, not only makes people feel surprised, but also adds a lot of reality.
"Omo, this is completely without makeup... Oh, right, Lin... Ouni." Seeing this opening scene, the Lin sisters all paused for a moment. The younger sister stared at the screen with greed, and then remembered something and asked curiously: "Didn't you say before that most of the male idols in the music industry rely on makeup, and there are only a few who are really handsome, right?"
At the beginning of the video, after seeing the first shot, Lin Nayeon leaned forward and unconsciously squeezed a little towards her sister, but was pushed back without any hesitation. She pursed her lips and was about to sneak a little back when she heard her sister's question. After thinking for a while, she nodded: "Yeah, that's about right."
Although there are many idols in the circle, their appearances are actually uneven. Most of them rely on makeup to make a living. Regardless of gender, there are actually very few who are really good-looking.
Thinking of the male idols who asked her for her contact information to express their affection, Lin Nayeon said with a little disdain: "Many people only look okay when they are lit on camera, but they look really weird when they are not lit... They are like this with makeup, and I dare not look at them without makeup."
"Have you ever seen anyone who looks like Jingyuan Oppa without makeup? How would he rank among male idols with his looks?"
"Hmph..." Hearing this question, Lin Nayeon blinked, looked at the person on the screen, thought for a few seconds, and said insincerely: "It's okay."
Chi Jingyuan, who was discussed by the sisters about her bare face level, greeted the audience and seemed a little nervous: "Well, this is my first time making a personal vlog video. I wonder if it will be a bit boring."
"I'm going to LA tomorrow. I got off work early today, so I came back to prepare my personal belongings." As he said that, Chi Jingyuan put the camera aside, pointed the lens at himself, and walked to the bed to pack his things: "Because XO has no group activities recently, the members have all gone home, so I'm not in the dormitory either."
"If I'm going to take a plane tomorrow, I have to wear a hat, a mask, and sunglasses..."
There was an open suitcase and his shoulder bag on the bed. As Chi Jingyuan was talking, he put a few common things into the bag, but suddenly found that there were no sunglasses around: "Hey, where are the sunglasses?"
He looked around and found nothing, so he walked directly to the cabinet next to him and opened it. All kinds of sunglasses appeared in his lens, filling up the front wall. The black light was flashing and the variety was dazzling. It was like a fashionable sunglasses exhibition hall. Some of them even had the GUCCI logo vaguely visible, and one could tell at a glance that they were very expensive.
Lin Nayeon was envious when she saw it.
"These are all gifts from sponsors. Every once in a while they send me some new products of the season. They are very enthusiastic... But actually I don't wear sunglasses very often. I picked a few to give to friends and they have been left here... It's a bit embarrassing to talk about it."
Chi Jingyuan explained casually, took a quick look, picked out a style that he liked, put it into the glasses case and put it in his bag.
"Then there are clothes..." At this time, LA is much warmer than Seoul." After packing up all the small things, he opened a cabinet next to him, but this time his body blocked the camera, so many things could not be seen.
Chi Jingyuan just looked in front of the closet for a long time, holding his waist and seemed a little hesitant: "As for clothes...it seems that there is nothing to bring, forget it."
After saying that, he closed the closet.
why?
Many viewers couldn't help but ask themselves.
Chi Jingyuan seemed to have anticipated the doubts in the fans' minds and answered his own questions: "Because I will be staying at my own home in LA this time, the clothes at home are ready, so I don't need to bring any."
Chi Jingyuan spent a long time packing the suitcase. When he was almost done, he remembered something, slapped his head and quickly walked aside: "Oh, right, I forgot the most important thing."
Many people thought that he had left something important behind, but they saw him take out a game console from the side and put it into the bag. The solemn look on his face when he put it into the bag made many people laugh.
"If you're going on an offshore trip, you can go without other things, but you must bring a game console." Chi Jingyuan seemed to be relieved after putting the game console in, and started chatting casually: "Did you watch Nintendo's new product launch conference some time ago? The new generation of game consoles is called Swich, and pre-sales will be open soon. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
When he said this, his eyes seemed to be shining, like a little child looking forward to his favorite toy, which made many fans smile lovingly.
But having said that... In fact, Chi Jingyuan's brother had already used his connections to get him a switch that hadn't been officially released yet, and he had even played "Breath of the Wild" for a few days.
But he certainly wouldn't expose himself and cause trouble.
The preparations are finished and the scene changes to boarding time.
The more than ten hours in between were all omitted. When the camera switched again, the clear sky of Los Angeles was in the camera. The weather was very good, with blue sky and white clouds interlaced. The sky was covered with a gentle blue-purple color, which was intertwined with the outline of the mountains in the distance, like an elegant watercolor painting.
Through the thin clouds, the spectacular view of Los Angeles International Airport gradually came into view. The huge runway was like a silver ribbon, shining with a charming silver-gray color under the afterglow of the sunset.
"Well, we finally arrived at our destination."
After getting on the bus, Chi Jingyuan moved the camera to the side, pointed the lens out the window, and said lazily, "We're already on the bus, and now we're going to where we're staying."
Then the scene began to switch rapidly, showing the busy streets and scenery of Los Angeles in a quick glance.
Although the camera was still the same and the people were still the same, the atmosphere seemed to have changed dramatically from when they were in Seoul, and the fans' feelings had also changed.
When the picture returned to normal again, the vehicle slowly drove along the road into a quiet and high-end villa area.
It is somewhat different from the previous hustle and bustle. From the moment you enter the gate, it seems as if you have crossed the boundaries of time and space and arrived at a secret and noble paradise. Looking out from the window, the soft sunlight filters through the treetops and sprinkles on the winding road. In the interweaving of light and shadow, one high-end villa after another is scattered on the distant mountain. The color of the exterior wall that can be seen through the shade of the trees seems to tell the luxury here. It is surrounded by lush greenery and the light blue mountain shadows in the distance, creating a private and fascinating environment.
"Where is this? It looks like a high-end villa area."
Lin Nayeon looked at the scenery in the camera and wondered: "Aren't they going to the hotel?"
Twice has also been to LA for activities. According to convention, the first thing a large group of people do after getting off the plane on an overseas trip is to settle in the hotel.
How come the camera suddenly turned here, as if it were a trip?
And these villas...look so impressive.
“Didn’t Jingyuan Oppa just say that he would stay at his house in LA this time?”
My sister was also attracted by the scenery on both sides, but she remembered Chi Jingyuan's casual words just now and guessed: "We should go to his house."
"I guess he just said it casually... There are dozens of people in their team. Can his house accommodate them?"
Lin Nayeon curled her lips and said, "I don't believe it. I guess he rented a house here."
The two sisters did not argue for too long, and soon the picture in the camera changed. On the top of a mountain not far away, a large villa appeared in the camera. Between the shade of trees and the mountains, the outline of the villa was lightly outlined. The contrasting exterior walls of creamy white and gray-black were pieced together to present a minimalist luxury style. With the mountains in the distance as the background, just by looking at the outline, you can feel the large area of the building. In the shadows, it seems to be silently showing its own style and luxury.
Judging from the direction of the camera and the language, the bus Chi Jingyuan was riding in seemed to be heading here.
"It's so beautiful, they won't want to go there." My sister's eyes lit up after taking a look at the outline. She felt that this building was much more beautiful than the ones she had passed by before.
"How do I feel..."
Lin Nayeon frowned: "This villa looks so familiar..."
All the audience also widened their eyes. This was not a TV drama. Many people would never have the chance to see such a high-end villa in real life, and such a shot was even rarer to see in an artist’s VLOG.
And through the exterior shots just now, some people have already recognized that this seems to be a very famous high-end residential area in LA.
As the car got closer, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, the gate opened and the bus slowly drove in.
"Well, here we are."
Back in his familiar home, Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel a little more relaxed. He picked up the camera and casually took some pictures of the surrounding environment: the broad green lawn, the exquisitely built garden, the tennis court, the door curtains that looked like works of art, the walls made of top-grade stone and glass curtain walls, the seamless swimming pool upstairs, all kinds of things that existed in TV dramas were casually displayed through the lens in the casual shooting.
Is this a TV series? Why do I feel like I've seen this villa somewhere before?
Where is this? Why not stay in a hotel but in such a luxurious villa? Are the conditions in SM so good?
Yuan just said that he would live at home in LA. Could this be his home?
At this time, the number of messages in the comment area began to increase rapidly. Many fans and viewers were very curious when they saw this scene. They couldn't help but start discussing it before they finished watching it. They also wanted to continue looking at the surrounding environment of this villa of such a high level that was rarely seen in TV dramas. They also strongly wanted to know what the relationship between this place and Chi Jingyuan was.
However, they did not get what they wanted. There was no overly detailed filming. They just simply took a few shots of the villa environment and then the scene changed, ending this section directly.
In fact, the variety show production crew initially suggested shooting the specific scenery and luxurious interior of the villa in detail to highlight Chi Jingyuan's royal status.
However, Chi Jingyuan still took into consideration the mentality of some fans and viewers, and there was actually no point in showing off wealth so blatantly, so he did not adopt this suggestion. He just simply shot the exterior and the general idea, and he deleted some other details later.
But even though it's just a rough outline, it still aroused strong curiosity among fans, as can be seen from the crazy number of comments under the video.
And in order to avoid trouble, except for his casual remark "living at home" at the beginning, there was no clear statement in the entire variety show to indicate his relationship with the villa.
What is concealed is what makes people most interested... For example, Lim Nayeon and her sister couldn't help but chatter about it.
At first, Lin Nayeon didn't believe it and thought that this place must be rented by SM. Although her sister supported Ji Jingyuan at first, after seeing the jaw-dropping environment and the appearance of the villa, she became a little unsure.
“This is where we’re going to live from now on.”
The scene changed, and Chi Jingyuan was sitting lazily on the bed. He looked very tired, holding a camera, filming the big bed in the bedroom and introducing: "I estimate that I will live here for about a week."
"I will have a dinner with the staff later, but I won't take photos of the meal this time. I'm a little tired today..."
'what is that? ’
'Look at the bedside table.'
In the comment section that he couldn't see, the number of messages suddenly increased sharply.
"Well……"
Just as Chi Jingyuan was about to say goodbye to the audience and end the recording, he belatedly discovered that there seemed to be something on the bedside table that his camera was facing.
He walked over and took a look, and immediately couldn't help but laugh softly.
There were three photo frames on the bedside table, one of which was a photo of him and his parents, and the other was a photo of him and his brother and sister, but both photos had been blurred.
The first photo is still very clear. It is a photo of him in high school. He is wearing a neat suit and school uniform, smiling at the camera. Although his face has not changed much, his vigor at that time is particularly memorable.
"Oh, this was taken when I was in school." Chi Jingyuan picked up the photo frame and explained briefly, then wiped it gently with a smile.
There was not a speck of dust on the photo frame, obviously someone had taken care of it. Chi Jingyuan smiled at his past self, put the photo away and put it back to its original place at the bedside.
This simple yet natural action has already made a very obvious hint.
"Is this really Jingyuan Oppa's home?"
…………
Just when Ming Jingnan was thinking about how to introduce Chi Jingyuan to her mother, she was suddenly interrupted by such an exclamation. She couldn't help but look at the source and found that it came from her eldest sister Lin Nayeon and her younger sister.
If it was just an ordinary noise, she wouldn't care, but although her mother couldn't understand the Korean that Lin Daiyu screamed in just now, Ming Jingnan heard it clearly.
It was about Chi Jingyuan, the house and stuff like that.
She rolled her eyes, and after a brief chat with her mother, she stood up and walked over. She stood behind Lin Nayeon and the other person and asked curiously, "Ouni, what are you looking at?"
Lin Nayeon found that Mingjing Nan suddenly appeared in front of her. After thinking about what she was watching, she suddenly felt guilty for some reason. She even suppressed the shock in her heart for a moment. She looked at Mingjing Nan embarrassedly and smiled calmly.
Before the elder sister could speak, the younger sister spoke directly: "Jingyuan Oppa's personal variety show."
There was still surprise and surprise in her voice, but if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a hint of pride.
And from the tone of her voice... her sister Lim Nayeon didn't seem to tell her that her Jingyuan oppa was dating the Twice member in front of her.
"Is it beautiful?" Ming Jingnan asked with a blink.
"It's really beautiful... not beautiful, it's..." The younger sister didn't know how to describe it for a moment: "This episode exposed Oppa's home in LA, it's really super luxurious."
"His home in LA?" Ming Jingnan became interested when she heard it. She didn't even know that her boyfriend's home was in LA.
After briefly chatting with Lin Nayeon, Ming Jingnan quickly walked back, talked to his mother, picked up his phone and started logging into YouTube impatiently.
"Personal variety show? Oh, did that kid shoot this thing?" Sachiko Nai also became interested when she heard it.
There's nothing else to do anyway, so it would be nice to get to know my daughter's boyfriend a little bit now.
Although she didn't want to interfere, she was still quite curious... She could see how much Mingjing Nan liked the boy.
Mingjing Nan quickly logged into YouTube. The variety shows uploaded by SM also thoughtfully have subtitles in multiple languages to choose from. Even if her mother does not understand Korean, she can still get a general idea through the subtitles.
…………
After putting the photo back in place, the screen slowly turns black, heralding the end of the day. When it lights up again, it is accompanied by a burst of noise-like music.
"ring dingdong~ring dingdong~"
A shrill alarm sounded. This song "ring dingdong" by SHINEE may sound noisy at ordinary times, but it is perfect as an alarm sound to wake people up.
Just when the alarm sound was making people feel upset, an arm stretched out from under the quilt and turned off the sound with force. A few seconds later, Chi Jingyuan slowly climbed out of bed.
"Um... good morning..."
He sat on the bed for a long while, looking like he hadn't slept well. Then he just remembered that there seemed to be a camera filming him. Looking at the camera in the distance, he forced a smile and greeted with a hoarse voice.
Although there was a camera filming, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have no intention of doing business at all. He sat on the bed for a while before getting down.
He was wearing a pair of grey cashmere pajamas with a clear cartoon pattern on them, which made him look both cute and very homely. After putting on a pair of slippers, he walked directly to the bathroom next door as if he had not woken up yet. He took out a toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste on it, but did not brush his teeth in the bathroom. Instead, he put the toothbrush in his mouth and walked out.
He opened the bedroom curtains to reveal a huge floor-to-ceiling window. He stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery in the distance, brushing his teeth quietly and slowly, while the camera faithfully recorded his every move and the moving scenery outside the window from the angle behind him.
He didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and didn't have the slightest sense that this was a variety show, but the audience was watching with gusto. Although these shots and actions weren't very funny, they were full of life, which is something a dazzling idol like Chi Jingyuan would never normally show.
As they watched, many people gradually quieted down, feeling as if a strange emotion was rising in their hearts.
At this time, the sun was just rising, and the sunlight shone through the gauze curtains, sprinkling on the mirror-like marble floor. The golden light and the exquisite decorations in the room complemented each other.
Chi Jingyuan's villa is located at a very high position. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, everything within sight can be seen clearly. In the near distance, the prosperity of Beverly Hills is in full view. Villas with unique designs and different styles are scattered among the lush green trees, and each one looks like a carefully crafted work of art.
The blue skyline in the distance connects with the endless mountains, and the sea horizon in the distance connects with the sky, blurring the boundaries and making it difficult to tell where the sky is and where the sea is.
The fine sand, a few seagulls flying over the sea, and the rising sun create a vibrant scene.
Mountains, villas, sunshine, sea, everything shows infinite vitality and beauty, making many people living in the downtown area look at them with love and novelty.
And in front of all this scenery, a figure in pajamas was bathing in the hazy sunlight in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the clear and vast skyline, he was brushing his teeth lazily, again and again, as if he had not woken up yet, and seemed to have long been tired of this ordinary scenery.
It's like a god standing high above, overlooking all living beings.
I lost half my hair because of this chapter
