After all, where have I seen you

After returning from Daegu for a few months, Song Zhiyi was not seen all day long. I sent him a message the day before and received his reply the next day.The kid didn't like playing with his mobile phone at all, and he probably didn't bring his mobile phone to the company during practice. He used to play mobile games occasionally, which seemed to be a habit left behind in the New World.

Song Zhiyi said that when playing mobile games, he seemed to be back at home in Beidao. He was lying on the sofa playing games, Taehyung was in the study, and Zhengyu was doing housework.

"Is this a pyramid scheme? Or sold to the company as a slave!" Xie Lei lay on the bed and looked at his phone. On it was Song Zhiyi last night... No, it should be said that he replied to his message at three o'clock in the morning today:

"Sister, I won't be back this week either."

Today is the weekend, so Xie Lei asked him yesterday if he would come back, "It's really sold to the company! It's been like this every week for several months." Xie Lei threw away his phone and planned to go back to sleep again.

When he woke up again, he heard voices outside. He got up and walked to the living room, where he saw three people sitting on the sofa.

The three turned to look at him at the same time, "Morning, Xie Lei..." Apart from Zhang Yongji and Cui Zhiyu, the third person called him, and that person was actually wearing sunglasses indoors.

Xie Lei was in a daze for a while before he recognized who that person was, "Dong Xu?" He seemed to look different from before, but he was similar to before.

Xie Lei walked over, "Dongxu, you're back. How are you doing? Has the debut date been set? Are you tired from training?"

Hearing this, Jiang Dongxu smiled wryly, while Zhang Yongji and the two on one side winked at him vigorously. Xie Lei knew that maybe he had said something wrong.

Jiang Dongxu turned his face to face Xie Lei, "Look at me, is there any change?"

After looking carefully for a while, Xie Lei said: "It seems...it's slimmer, especially the contour of the cheeks, the jaw line is much clearer than before, and the nose... the nose is also more delicate, oh... the corners of the lips... ..." Xie Lei himself loves beauty, so the more he talked, the more he became more energetic, but seeing Zhang Yongji's eyes behind him was not good, he stopped talking, "Well, he is more handsome than before."

Then Jiang Dongxu took off his sunglasses, and Xie Lei clearly saw that his eyes were still a little red and swollen, probably because of an operation.

Jiang Dongxu put on the sunglasses again, "The eyes have also been widened."

"But your eyes are big and beautiful."

"That's why it's just widening, not cutting the corners of the eyes, saying that it's for the sake of being on camera, widening the eyes is more suitable for me."

"It's all to show fans the best when they debut..." Xie Lei said while looking at Zhang Yongji and the others, but the two of them pouted and shook their heads.

Jiang Dongxu said helplessly: "I was brushed off." He lowered his head, "Obviously my face was done, but I was brushed off again, I worked so hard! So hard!" He clenched his fists.

"Dongxu..."

Everyone doesn't understand the situation of idol's debut screening, and they don't know what to say to comfort him.But they all know that Jiang Dongxu has paid too much along the way.

Cui Zhiyu said: "Dongxu, did you tell you the reason when the company recruited people?"

Jiang Dongxu shook his head, "There is no warning at all. Whoever is asked to leave will leave. We practice every day, and we lie in bed exhausted at night, and worry about whether we will be able to debut." Tears flowed from behind the sunglasses. "People will leave every month, and people will come every month. There are also seniors in high school...the college entrance examination will be in more than ten days. No matter what, we must appoint people and let those who have lost their chance take the college entrance examination. , The company is too divided! It doesn't take our future seriously."

"Is it possible to find out what the company likes and then re-enter?" Zhang Yongji said.

"Who knows what the company's preferences are? It doesn't even have a sound source yet, and the plan is changing every day. The company doesn't have the money to hire a big producer to make an album. It's been half a year. We haven't even entered the recording studio once. , and didn’t hear any demos.”

Hearing this, Xie Lei thought for a while and said, "Are the ST family artists good at composing lyrics and music?"

Jiang Dongxu shook his head, "It's not JYP, artists are packaged by only training in dancing and singing."

Xie Lei was lost in thought.

Jiang Dongxu continued to complain, "I have been postponing the time of debut, isn't it because there is no good sound source, we pick and choose among our trainees! Why don't we pick and choose good composers. Good sound sources are given to the hottest groups. , I just don’t want to give up money to get good resources for newcomers, then even if we debut, we won’t be popular..."

Choi Zhiyu suddenly said: "If the company really postponed the debut plan because of lack of music sources, then if you can write lyrics and compose music, will you be able to debut soon?"

"Theoretically speaking, if we can hand over a few songs of good quality, the people in the company can produce them so-so, and then the group can make their debut, but if the company doesn't care..."

Zhang Yongji said: "That's right, if the company doesn't vigorously promote the group, what about the children in the group?"

Everyone comforted Jiang Dongxu by saying "the company doesn't do anything, maybe it's a good thing not to make a debut".

In the following days, Jiang Dongxu stopped going to the company, and stayed at home all day, sleeping in the house during the day and drinking in the living room at night.He didn't dare to tell his parents that he was dismissed by the company.

On this day, Song Zhiyi returned to the apartment for the first time since he joined the company for five months.It was already November at this time, and in more than ten days, South Korea's annual college entrance examination, that is, the college entrance examination, was about to be held.

When Song Zhi came back, Xie Lei was still working in a convenience store. Since he stopped taking Korean classes, he found a part-time job to earn living expenses just like other students.On the other hand, Zhang Yongji and Cui Zhiyu went to the library in order to cope with the final exam.

So when Song Zhi opened the door, none of the lights in the room were turned on. At this time, Jiang Dongxu was sitting on the balcony alone, drinking wine facing the moon outside.

As soon as Song Zhi thought that there was no one at home, and he didn't have the habit of yelling at people, he turned on the light and sat on the sofa alone, took out his small notebook, and planned to write songs while waiting for Xie Lei and the others to come home. He still has a few lines of the song written in the studio.

Jiang Dongxu drank all the cans of beer that he carried out, and his mind was still clear. He felt that his drinking capacity had increased recently, and he would not get drunk no matter how much he drank.He just heard that someone came back, and the lights in the living room were turned on, but he didn't intend to see who it was.He planned to go to the refrigerator to get some more cans of beer. When he came to the living room, there was a person sitting on the sofa with his head tilted back and his shoulders rising and falling as he breathed. He seemed to be asleep.Judging from the body shape, it is not any of Zhang Yongji, Cui Zhiyu, and Xie Lei.

Xie Lei walked over curiously.
