Chapter 113 Come on(1/2)
…………
When the autograph session was about to end, another female fan appeared in front of me.
In the past, the number of places for EXO's nine-member autograph sessions was usually around 200. This time, Chi Jingyuan signed more than 100 by himself. In addition, everyone had to chat and give some feedback based on what the other person said. To be honest,
I was actually a little tired by now.
"Aniha Saiyo~"
However, Chi Jingyuan still maintained a just right smile and completed his work very well.
"May I ask your name..."
After seeing the fan sitting down, he took the initiative to take the album and autograph book, and at the same time raised his head and glanced at her.
She is also a woman in her twenties, with a fresh and beautiful face, especially her long eyes, which are very distinctive. However, she looks a bit older than him, maybe in the second half of her twenties.
Seeing this very distinctive appearance, Chi Jingyuan felt inexplicably that this female fan seemed vaguely familiar, as if she had seen her before.
But it was just a little bit, maybe he met her by chance during a certain interaction, and he really couldn't remember it.
"Anihasay~ My name is Li Zhizhi."
The female fan sat down and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile. She didn't look nervous. It was obviously not the first time she had faced Chi Jingyuan at such a close distance.
"...Perhaps we have met before?" Chi Jingyuan asked casually as he quickly wrote his name on the album cover and couldn't help but look up.
The name is very common. There are not even 10,000 but 8,000 girls with this name in the peninsula. I really can’t think of anything through the name.
"ha?"
Hearing that Chi Jingyuan had an impression of her, the female fan named Li Zhizhi seemed very happy and laughed directly. She looked at Chi Jingyuan with relief, nodded and said, "Maybe it's because I've been to XO twice before.
There was a book signing event, so Jingyuanxi still has some impression on me."
"Oh? Have you been to two XO autograph sessions? Let me tell you...which two were they?"
He said that he must have met her before. When he heard what she said, Chi Jingyuan understood. He lowered his head to sign and asked with a smile.
However, although he asked this, it was actually just out of politeness and he didn't really care... Because EXO has held too many autograph sessions over the years, and the number of fans who have signed autographs from him is countless.
Qing, so even if Li Zhihui said it, he probably wouldn't be able to remember it.
However, it is rare for him to feel that he has seen Mian Shan before and leave such an impression.
"I have bought XO autograph albums every time they come out over the years, but after buying hundreds of them over the years, I have only been able to get autograph quotations twice. Oh, and today is probably the third time...
…”
Li Zhizhi's eyes were locked on Chi Jingyuan. Although his voice sounded very happy, he didn't have much nervousness. Unlike many female fans who were too excited to speak before, he looked a little like he thought Chi Jingyuan was.
A good friend of many years:: "The last time was when "E" came back last year, and XO was at Yeongdeungpo."
"Was it there? What about the other time?"
Chi Jingyuan nodded in response, and his tone sounded somewhat understanding... But that was all it was. He really couldn't remember the autograph session. He only remembered that it was around the time of "Call Me Baby".
Sure enough, as he thought before, he had no impression at all.
"If it's the first time..."
Speaking of this, the female fan's voice suddenly became distant, and she recalled with an inexplicable color: "It was on May 11, 2012... I remember it very clearly, it was near the station in Jiangnan.
…”
"So early...12 years?"
Chi Jingyuan originally responded habitually, but after reacting, he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something from this date.
If we say that because he has held so many autograph sessions over the years, Chi Jingyuan's memories of many autograph sessions have been mixed together and become blurry. Even the autograph session for EXO's last comeback was a bit unimpressive.
But there are exceptions. After so many years since his debut, there are still a few memories of autograph signings that have a very special impression in his heart.
The most profound anomaly is what this female fan just said, about the scene on May 11, 2012...
Because that was the first autograph session held by EXO after their debut, and it was also the first autograph session that Chi Jingyuan attended.
And it's different from today's overcrowded autograph signings, because the autograph session when EXO failed to debut was extremely bleak. It was a public autograph session, but less than fifty people came during the whole process, and there were no assistants or assistants nearby.
There were many security guards, and XO, who had just debuted, was sitting in the deserted seats but forced to keep a smile on his face. The cold wind blew by made everyone feel cold, and his heart felt cold. He deeply realized the cruelty and indifference of the music industry.
Although his memory at the time was somewhat blurry, Chi Jingyuan was still deeply impressed by that autograph session.
After hearing the date and reacting, Chi Jingyuan looked at Li Zhihui in front of him with surprised eyes.
The female fan in front of me actually attended his first autograph session. In other words, she has been a fan of EXO since they first debuted? Even before their debut.
A true midwifery powder!
"Is it... our first autograph session?" Chi Jingyuan couldn't believe it, but asked tentatively.
"It's that scene."
Li Zhihui nodded with a smile and replied: "Jingyuanxi seems to have no memory, but I still remember it very clearly, because I went there just for Jingyuanxi. The way you signed your autograph for me at that time still reminds me of you.
It’s still fresh in my memory… Then, I’ll bring it over.”
As she spoke, she dug twice in the bag on her lap, took out an album and handed it over.
Chi Jingyuan quickly took it, and after taking a look, his heart suddenly shook.
This is a version of their EXO debut album "MAMA". The cover design looks a bit old-fashioned compared to today. On the cover, he has just debuted with scattered visual style hair and is wearing a black suit.
I put on a cool face, but now I look full of the atmosphere of the times and memories.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are also a few large words written in black oil pen on the cover of the album.
"Thank you for coming, it brings me great encouragement and support.
We will definitely continue to work hard.
I also wish you all the best
From Yuan."
Seeing these words, Chi Jingyuan suddenly couldn't help but feel a little lost.
He recognized that these words were written by himself...his former self.
Different from the freehand and skillful handwriting used when signing today, he had not signed many names at that time. His handwriting was very fair and youthful, and now he has been specially designed to write a beautiful and fashionable signature.
'Yuan' is different. The signature on the back cover is straight and straight but a little crooked. It has a youthful feeling of 'I want to sign more handsomely but I'm nervous because I haven't signed it often so I can't write it out'.
But this simple signature instantly filled Chi Jingyuan with memories and made his heart surge. At the same time, the eyes of the fans in front of him couldn't help but become eager.
This signed debut album is in excellent condition. The cover has lost its luster but has no scratches at all. It is obvious that it was taken out and looked at very carefully.
Moreover, Li Zhihui has come to sign autographs three times in the past few years. He has been fond of him for many years and has never stopped... Obviously, this is the most loyal and precious fan who has supported him since his debut.
Even though he and EXO have countless fans now, and they are "ten-year-old fans" on the Internet every day, Chi Jingyuan himself knows very well that at that time, EXO had just debuted and there were not many fans at all, and they were all criticized.
Fans who have been able to follow him from his debut until now are really rare, and each one of them means something extraordinary to him and is extremely precious.
Different from the previous business, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to chat this time, asking her about her hobbies, her thoughts on this return, and if she had any suggestions.
"that……"
The two talked animatedly for a while, and when the time was almost up, the assistant came over to give a reminder, but was stopped by Chi Jingyuan with a wave of his hand.
Seeing this, Li Zhihui seemed to hesitate for a moment, took out his bag again, took out a small notebook, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked tentatively: "Can you please Jingyuan Xi to write a blessing for me?"
I...I'm getting married."
"marry?"
Chi Jingyuan paused after hearing this and immediately smiled: "Really? That's such congratulations."
He glanced back and asked curiously with a smile: "Is the groom-to-be here today?"
"No, even though he bought two albums to please me, a lucky thing like signing the album won't happen to that unlucky guy~"
Li Zhihui shook his head and scolded the boyfriend who was not present angrily, but the smile on his face shone with warm happiness.
"Hehe, because it's actually thanks to you Jingyuanxi, and thanks to your song "Loved Before"..."
She smiled softly, with a look of reminiscence on her face, and said in a daze: "Although we were together, it was not very smooth. We have been separated and reunited over the years, and we always encountered some problems... We had actually broken up at that time.
, I was really in a bad mood those days, and I was thinking about letting it end like this... But on the 10th, you released your solo album. Of course, I listened to it immediately, and then I heard "Loved It"
"This song."
As she spoke, she seemed to be inspired by something, and after a short pause she hummed softly:
"We once loved each other, when we met."
"It becomes an unforgettable memory."
She eloquently told her little love story and softly hummed the chorus of "Loved Before". Although the word order and logic were slightly confusing, and her voice was trembling and slightly off-key, Chi Jingyuan listened.
Very serious and focused.
"When I heard the lyrics of this song, I really... felt sad and complicated, but also a little sweet. I always thought of some things in the past. There were the words 'The curtain fell quietly' and '
I loved you and that's enough', which made me wonder, 'Is this the end?'"
