Chapter 824 Unrequited Love

Chapter 824 Unrequited Love

The smell of dog food in the car made Minatozaki Sana feel very uncomfortable, and also felt a little strange. She half-squinted her eyes and glanced at Naito Minami.

Why does it feel like this girl has suddenly become bored with her boyfriend, even though they were...

"Oh, Sana~"

At this time, Mingjing Nan seemed to remember Minatozaki Sana behind her, and turned around to ask with concern: "How was the variety show recording last night? When did you get up in the afternoon?"

Do you still remember I'm here?

After mumbling a few words in her mind, Minatozaki Sana smacked her lips and said, "It's OK. There were some minor accidents in the middle and we had to re-record a few parts, which resulted in a few hours of overtime.

"After I came back, Sangmin Oppa kept talking for a long time, and I didn't get much sleep..."

"Then you're all set tonight, right? Go back and rest early after dinner."

"Mina-chan, do you want to sleep with me?"

"Hehe, don't~"

Maybe she felt that it was not appropriate for her and her boyfriend to be so affectionate in front of Minatozaki Sana, so Mingjing Nan obviously restrained herself a little along the way. She kept chatting with Sana in the back row. Although her voice was not loud, she talked a lot, which showed that she was in a good mood.

While Chi Jingyuan was driving with ease, he would occasionally interject. Although it was the first time for him to meet with the Sakura girl in private, the atmosphere was very good and there was no sense of strangeness at all, as if they had been friends for a long time.

The dining place chosen by Minatozaki Sanaka was very close to Cheongdam-dong, and they arrived there in about ten minutes. Although Chi Jingyuan, who had been here several times and was very familiar with the place, did not interfere, and followed Minatozaki Sanaka into the private room she had booked.

"If Jingyuan Oppa has been here a few times, would you like me to order some food later?"

"An Di, every time we came here before, the members always ordered the dishes... and this time it's not you who's treating us, so of course you order."

Minatozaki Sana took the lead and walked into the box. She glanced at the square table in the middle, walked to the left side, pulled out a stool and sat down, while Chi Jingyuan sat down at the angle opposite her while talking.

Minatozaki Sana, who had just come out of the sour environment of dog food, was in a better mood. However, when she was about to say something, she was suddenly stunned. She stared blankly at her little sister Ming Jingnan who did not sit with her, but walked directly to the right side of Chi Jingyuan, pulled out the stool next to her and sat down naturally, looking like a husband and wife following each other.

A two-to-one seating situation was formed instantly, making her suddenly feel out of place.

"Mina~"

Minatozaki Sana stared speechlessly at Mingjing Nan who was helping Chi Jingyuan set the tableware: "You, don't you want to sit over here?"

Even if you are a couple...can you please consider other people's feelings? Besides, since we two are out to have dinner with Jingyuan Oppa, shouldn't we sit together?

"Ok?"

Ming Jingnan, who had just helped Chi Jingyuan put the chopsticks away, was stunned when she heard the words. Seeing the look in Minatozaki Sana's eyes, she immediately reacted. She immediately narrowed her eyes, laughed, and looked at the little sister playfully and cutely: "Do you want me to sit over there?"

I want you out!

Before Minatozaki Sanaka could complain in her heart, Mingjing Nan turned around and gave Chi Jingyuan a tacit smile, then stood up and ran to the opposite side of Chi Jingyuan, sat next to Minatozaki Sanaka, and moved the stool to be closer to the little sister, smiling at her with his little white teeth showing his beautiful smile.

"..."

In the face of Mingjing Minami's flattering smile, Minatozaki Sana wrinkled her nose with her mouth pursed, then exchanged a few glances and laughed herself.

The dishes were served shortly after they ordered. The group ate and chatted. During the conversation, Chi Jingyuan even secretly observed the two Sakura girls while they were eating.

Ming Jingnan's expression and movements are very gentle when she eats. She takes small bites of food and doesn't chew too much. Sometimes she would put her hand in front of her mouth because her movements were too big. She would also take the time to push the ends of her hair behind her ears, looking quite elegant like a lady from a noble family.

However, her pink little tongue that occasionally popped out and touched her mouth was very lively, adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her calm temperament.

Minatozaki Sana seemed to be a lot more generous and chewed very quickly. Maybe she was hungry. Sometimes she ate so fast that her cheeks bulged like a hamster.

She had just stuffed a spoonful of food into her mouth and was chewing it contentedly. However, she seemed to notice the gaze from the opposite side while she was eating. She paused and immediately became less carefree than before. She frowned, covered her mouth and looked over complainingly: "Oppa, what are you looking at?"

He had something in his mouth and his voice was a little murmured.

"No……"

Chi Jingyuan retracted his gaze reflexively and took a bite of the rice himself. Then he couldn't help but glance at Minatozaki Sana, whose cheeks were still puffed up: "It seems that you are eating very happily..."

"We're coming back soon, and we have to strictly meet the standards for body shape and weight." Minatozaki Sana certainly understood what Chi Jingyuan meant. She chewed quickly with her hands, complaining, "I haven't eaten like this for a long time."

"Sana-chan really works hard."

Ming Jingnan next to her also interrupted and said, she glanced at Minatozaki Sana and pursed her lips with a little pity: "Her weight has actually reached the standard set by the company, but she has been insisting on body management... She has never stopped since her debut."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan took a look at Minatozaki Sana's jawline and nodded in agreement: "Then eat a little more today... it doesn't matter if you have this meal anyway."

He had always thought Sana was fat because she had a deep impression of her round face and knock-kneed legs... Now she looks a lot narrower than when she debuted last year.

Although... she is not considered very thin among the female idols with curly bodies.

"Ok!"

After eating diligently for a while, Minatozaki Sana swallowed the rice in her mouth and put down her chopsticks. Feeling that the time was almost right, she cleared her throat and looked at Chi Jingyuan: "I have always wanted to talk about what happened a few days ago, but I didn't have the chance until now."

Looking at the oppa who was also looking at her, Minatozaki Sana's eyes were a little strange, and she said in a serious tone: "When I fell from the elevator that day, my head was really blank, and I thought I was dead... I really want to thank oppa for saving me that day, and for your help afterwards...

At this point, she paused slightly, pursed her lips, and omitted the following words: "Anyway, I'm very grateful."

Seeing her serious look, Chi Jingyuan also understood her emotions. He did not smile and say that she did not care. Instead, he nodded seriously: "I understand..."

He really helped Minato Saki Sana a lot this time. Not to mention that he helped her with MBC later, just catching her when she accidentally fell was a life-saving grace. The elevator was so high, who knows what would have happened to her if Chi Jingyuan was not there, maybe she is still lying in the hospital now.

Although Chi Jingyuan didn't take it too seriously, Minatozaki Sana was different. If she had a stronger sense of morality, carrying the favors of others would make her feel heavy in her heart, and it would feel like a burden over time.

Faced with this gratitude that has accumulated for a long time, Chi Jingyuan's equally serious attitude is the best response. In this way, although the gratitude in Minato Sana's heart will not disappear, it will at least make her face Chi Jingyuan more natural and without so much burden.

"Don't take it too seriously... The important thing is that nothing happened."

After exchanging a glance with Minatozaki Sana's bright eyes, Chi Jingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then continued with some reminiscence: "In fact, later on I was very glad that I happened to be there, and I just reached out to catch it reflexively..."

"..."

Looking at the sincere smile on Chi Jingyuan's face, Minatozaki Sana pursed her lips, obviously recalling the scene at that time.

The scene gradually became quiet.

But just when she was moved, Chi Jingyuan fed her a mouthful of food, and his tone changed, and he began to lazily preach: "But you still have to remember to watch the road when you walk next time, there may be another unlucky guy waiting for you downstairs next time."

The touching atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant. Mingjing Nan, who had been watching from the sidelines, laughed softly, while Minatozaki Sana looked over with dissatisfaction: "Oppa, how can you say you are an unlucky guy?"

She felt that Chi Jingyuan was really spoiling the mood, but seeing this oppa's expression of "that's it" she couldn't do anything about it. However, after formally thanking him, she did feel like something was let go and she felt a little more relaxed.

After pursing her lips and taking a few bites of rice, Minatozaki Sana looked at the person next to her very gently. After Chi Jingyuan's face was accidentally splashed with oil, she immediately put down her chopsticks and handed him a tissue. Mingjing Nan, who looked like a little girlfriend, suddenly sighed as if she remembered something:

"Oh, I never thought Jingyuan Oppa would be with Mina-chan now... I still remember the first time I met Jingyuan Oppa, and at that time I never thought it would be like this now."

"Oh? When did you first meet me? What was your impression?"

Chi Jingyuan became interested when he heard it, and asked while wiping the oil stains on his face... But he didn't seem to find the right place. After wiping twice, Ming Jingnan immediately stood up, leaned forward, took the wet wipes and wiped his face carefully.

"Let me think... I actually knew Oppa a long time ago. I knew EXO when they just debuted because it was a new boy group launched by SM. At that time, the trainees in the company were all talking about it..."

Recalling the scene when several Japanese lines discussed who was handsome and who was ugly in EXO, Minatozaki Sana chuckled twice and then said: "But the first time I saw it in real life was the trainee showcase in 13. I don't know if Oppa still remembers it."

"It's this one. Of course I remember. I have a deep impression of this showcase."

Ji Jingyuan held his girlfriend's hand for two seconds before letting her go. He then nodded and said with reminiscence, "I remember that it was a showcase held by trainees from SM and JYP. I took time out to go there just to watch Seulgi and the others perform."

Then, he asked curiously, "Was that the first time you met me? What's your impression?"

"What's your impression? At that time, EXO was already a big hit, a legendary popular boy band. There were trainees all around, and suddenly an EXO member showed up. At that time, I was like, 'Wow, they are so dazzling, they are indeed EXO~'"

Coming out of her memories, Sana Minatozaki looked at Ji Jingyuan opposite her, as if comparing him with the extremely dazzling and popular idol in her memory. After comparing, she still felt that the Ji Jingyuan in front of her seemed a little more handsome.

Chi Jingyuan blinked. Although he had been praised too many times, Minatozaki Sana's tone was so sincere that he felt a little refreshed.

After taking a sip of the drink to moisten her slightly dry lips and teeth, she said leisurely, "I even performed on stage at that time... but I guess Oppa doesn't remember much about it anymore."

"You know what? There were so many trainees in JYP at that time, but I only remembered two of them."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to correct him: "One of them is Sana. I remember that I didn't know your name at the time, but your performance left a deep impression on me because you winked a lot during the performance, but it was not artificial or annoying. This trait is really rare. I still remember it clearly."

"qingjia?" The more Sana Minatozaki listened, the brighter her eyes became. She had never expected that such a thing would happen at that time. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

After looking at Sana, Mingjing Nan's eyes flickered and he asked curiously, "Who else does Yuan-chan remember?"

"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips and did not hide it: "The other one is Lin Nayeon. She was really eye-catching among so many JYP trainees at that time, and her rabbit teeth were very recognizable."

"Nayeon!" The two looked at each other in surprise.

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, took a sip of water and looked at Ming Jingnan: "But I didn't seem to see Xiaonan at that time..."

"Mina-chan hadn't joined the company yet..."

Minatozaki Sana responded first, glancing back and forth between Chi Jingyuan and Mingjing Nan: "The first time Mina-chan met Oppa was probably at the club... Oppa, how did you feel when you first saw Mina-chan? Did you think she was beautiful?"

"..." Ming Jingnan also looked at Chi Jingyuan with an expectant and curious look.

This was one of the most unforgettable memories she had after coming to the Peninsula, and it was also the most important chapter in the fate of her and Chi Jingyuan.

"Well, to be honest... the impression is pretty average."

Although his girlfriend stared at him with sparkling eyes, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and decided to tell the truth. This kind of precious memory is real and unforgettable, so there is no need for too much beautification and embellishment: "I have seen many trainees who follow some debuted artists and idols to get opportunities and resources, or for vanity. When I first saw you in the box, I thought you were the same, so..."

He shrugged and didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Without waiting for Ming Jingnan and the other two to explain, Chi Jingyuan continued, "But later I realized that I seemed to be wrong... But I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. As for the impression Mina left on me that day... Well, she loved to cry too much, a crybaby. She was always wiping away tears at the police station, and her crying annoyed me to death..."

"Because when something like that happens, it's really scary."

Ming Jingnan interrupted him unwillingly and stared at Chi Jingyuan sullenly: "That person is really scary... This is the first time I have encountered such a thing. You don't know how sad I was at that time."

"Didn't I tell you it's okay?"

"But I was still scared... and I didn't know you at that time..." Thinking of the grievance and embarrassment at that time, Mingjing Nan pouted and muttered: "Because I was very grateful for your help, I contacted you later and wanted to exchange contact information, but you said 'Mi nai', which is too much!"

"Is that really a thank you?"

Although she is his girlfriend now, Chi Jingyuan still can't let her age go by. He sneered at Ming Jingnan who was digging up the past and said, "I thought you wanted to pursue me... You can't just give me your phone number to any girl, right? Do you know what the coolness of TOP idols is?"

"Gen-chan!"

Mingjing Nan shouted in embarrassment, her voice obviously much louder, while Minatozaki Sana laughed: "Hahaha... Oppa, did you guess it..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt the murderous gaze next to her. She paused and changed her words instantly. She looked at Chi Jingyuan curiously and asked, "I never had a chance to ask you. Oppa, why did you suddenly help Mina-chan out? Didn't we have any communication before?"

Ming Jingnan also pursed her lips gently, looking at her boyfriend with love and emotion in her eyes... When she was in despair at that time, she would probably never forget the hand of Chi Jingyuan on her shoulder and the figure standing in front of her when she slowly stood up.

It’s just…even though there was actually another person present at the time, none of them mentioned Bae Suzy’s name very naturally.

"Actually, I kind of forgot..."

Chi Jingyuan looked up and recalled, but it had been so long that he could no longer remember what he was thinking at the time. He said uncertainly, "Maybe he felt that Li or Jin was a little too arrogant and excessive... or maybe he felt that Xiaonan was too pitiful..."

"Now that I think about it, it's really a coincidence. I didn't even know that Li Shengli and you guys were here that day. I was already preparing to leave when I suddenly met... met that person?"

As he was talking, Chi Jingyuan forgot the man's name.

He actually didn't take what happened that day to heart...not as deeply as it did for Ming Jingnan.

For different parties, the meaning is completely different.

"It was Lee Junho oppa." Minatozaki Sana helped him remember: "At that time, the three of us participated in the filming of his MV for his hit song in Japan. He said that day that he would take us out, um, to relax."

"Yes, it seems to be him..."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, not really caring who it was. Thinking of the whole incident at the club that day, a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart, and he exclaimed in amazement: "It was really a coincidence that we met at that time... And to be honest, with my personality, if I don't know him, I rarely care about such trivial matters..."

"So many coincidences come together..."

He looked at Ming Jingnan who was staring at him, and saw his reflection clearly in her sparkling eyes: "It can only be explained by fate..."

"..."

A man and a woman looked at each other, and a sour and smell filled the air.

"..."

Minatozaki Sana instantly felt the atmosphere. Looking at the two bored men and women around her, she remained calm on the surface, curled her lips with an expression of disgust, and naturally continued her previous liveliness.

However, my heart suddenly darkened, as if I had been hit by something, and I felt stuffy and breathless.

But in addition to this, a small, suppressed impulse also gently emerged.

Really?

So this is fate?

But I seem to have encountered it...more than once.

…………

Twice still has work to do tomorrow and can't go home too late. After dinner, there are no other activities planned, so Chi Jingyuan drove them home directly.

"Gen-chan, do you have a morning flight tomorrow?"

Ming Jingnan was still sitting in the passenger seat. Halfway through the journey, he thought of Chi Jingyuan's recent schedule and asked with concern.

"Yes, the flight is at six in the morning." The traffic was dense and it was drizzling. Chi Jingyuan looked straight ahead and drove attentively: "The crew is waiting for me. I have to fly over earlier."

In fact, if Chi Jingyuan hadn't been going on a date with Ming Jingnan today to do some long-awaited embarrassing things, he would have flown to Canada last night.

"How many days will it take?"

After today's close contact, it is obvious that his girlfriend is very attached to him.

"Four to five days, it depends on the progress of the filming." Chi Jingyuan thought about it and was not sure: "By the time I come back, you guys will probably be back. I'm also going to prepare for the subway song activities soon. Maybe I can meet you at the TV station."

"That collaboration song, Jeongyeon said the MV and style are very cool."

"of course……"

The two of them were chatting leisurely, but Sana Minatozaki, who was chattering when she came, didn't know if she didn't get enough rest after filming the variety show all night last night, so she was a little tired now, and seemed a little quiet sitting in the back seat.

"Let's play a song..."

After driving for a while, feeling that the environment was a bit monotonous, Chi Jingyuan reached out to turn on the car music and prepared to listen to a song. However, just as he stretched out his hand, someone overtook the car next to him, so he quickly grasped the steering wheel and turned the direction.

"Let me do it!" Seeing this, Ming Jingnan took over his job. He slid his fingers across the screen a few times, and soon a familiar melody slowly sounded.

The song that Ming Jingnan played was the one that Chi Jingyuan had just told her he liked listening to recently.

"Unrequited love"

Following the soft accompaniment, the clear female voice spoke slowly and lingered in the ears of everyone in the car, including Minami Naito who was humming along, and Sana Minatozaki in the back seat.

She half leaned against the door, looking out the window calmly. The colorful reflections of the street kept flashing across her calm face, and her pupils brightened and darkened accordingly. While she was slightly absent-minded, she listened to this new song that she had clearly heard before, but it seemed like she was hearing it for the first time:

"My heart has always been in love with you."

"I don't know what to say to you..."
