"And I won't be like him, giving so many nonsense reasons, bullying and the like... We can tell what's going on when we look at those so-called photos, and that's why his fans are willing to believe him.

…”

Pouting his lips, Luhan seemed to hate Wu Saike and seemed to be displeased with his behavior.

Then he sighed softly, drank the beer in one gulp, and after reminiscing, he looked at Chi Jingyuan with a serious expression: "I've actually always envied you Jingyuan... It's not jealousy, it's envy."

"I also want the company to consider my ideas in everything, and those directors and directors can greet me with a smile when they see me; I also want to have a lot of privileges...whether I use them or not; I also want to be sick as soon as possible

I didn’t even have to say it myself, the company took the initiative to give me leave, for fear that I would be too tired and it would be bad for my health; I also wanted to be the most important and dazzling person..."

"It's really not jealousy, it's envy."

Maybe because he drank some wine, or maybe because if he didn't say anything today, there might be no chance in the future. Facing Chi Jingyuan, Luhan said all the things he had been holding back for who knows how long, and his tone seemed a little excited.

, obviously he has been brewing these ideas for a long time.

After talking about it, he seemed to feel a lot smoother. He poured a glass of wine and held the quilt in his hand to look at it, but did not drink: "These are things that I can't get in EXO no matter how hard I try, but this is not

It's not because of you, Jingyuan... Judging from your background and position in the company, Jingyuan, you are really good at dealing with people, and you have never been lazy at work because of your background.

On the contrary, sometimes you are much more tired than all of us."

"I really don't dislike you. On the contrary, I think it is really lucky and happy to be your teammate."

Speaking of which, Luhan raised his glass: "By the way, here's a toast to you. If it weren't for you, without the song "Roar", EXO wouldn't be as popular as it is today. Even if I came back, the treatment would definitely not be as good as it is now.

good."

"Thank you. This is a good compliment and proof of my own cultivation and creative talent."

Chi Jingyuan clinked his glasses and drank it all in one gulp, smiling and thanking him.

Then he looked at the new dishes on the table and sighed softly: "However, if you leave, brother, it will really have a big impact on us. It will definitely be more serious than Baekhyun's love."

Already."

It's a big deal for any group to have a member leave the team. This year's kara, bts, etc. are all examples of this.

Not to mention a popular member like Luhan.

"Of course, I'm Luhan, the captain and ACE of Team M. Even among the entire team, I'm ranked second in popularity, second only to you, Jingyuan."

Mentioning this, Luhan nodded of course, with a little pride on his face. As a Xia native, he has reached a position close to the top of popularity in the peninsula group EXO, which is also an excellent proof of his talent, strength and hard work.

If his departure has no impact on the team, then he has no shame in saying so.

"It's said to be second only...but there's actually quite a gap between second and first..."

Chi Jingyuan looked at him mercilessly, curled his lips and told the truth: "Brother, my popularity in the group has been cut off a lot."

"Hahaha, why do you have to point it out specifically? Why do you want to hit me before leaving?"

Luhan laughed twice, shook his head, looked at Chi Jingyuan and said helplessly.

After laughing, he fell into silence again without realizing it.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. Luhan has obviously already planned and prepared everything. This choice of deciding his life path cannot be persuaded in just two sentences.

And Chi Jingyuan himself had no intention of persuading him.

After a while, he thought about it, looked at Luh who had probably not spoken for a long time, and said with a serious face: "I thought about it, and I think the first sentence of the two sentences just now is more appropriate."

Luhan nodded slowly, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Brother, I'll go back first. If I go back too late, Brother Chenghuan will cause trouble... Although I have privileges, I don't necessarily have to use them, right?"

Chi Jingyuan took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, smiled, stood up and said goodbye before preparing to leave.

"Jingyuan..." Luhan suddenly stopped Chi Jingyuan, who had turned around to leave. After hesitating for two seconds, he unknowingly switched to Korean: "fighting!"

Chi Jingyuan turned to look at him, smiling with squinted eyes, still speaking in Chinese:

"Thanks, I will."

Finally, he nodded. Chi Jingyuan quickly left the restaurant without hesitation and gradually walked away. Until he left the night market street and turned into the avenue, the noise behind him suddenly became too weak and inaudible as if it had been cut off.

Too clear.

The previous hustle and bustle was replaced by the sound of car engines and horns on the road, making people feel as if they were in two different worlds.

After walking for about ten minutes, he returned to the hotel, opened the door with his card and walked into the room. Wu Shixun, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, glanced at Chi Jingyuan and continued to stare at the screen, but asked: "Why are you back so early?

Come on, did you guys eat so quickly? I thought it would be a while longer...Brother Luhan is back too?"

Chi Jingyuan went to the bathroom to wash his face, rubbed it vigorously twice and took a long breath. After drying it, he lay half on his bed, looked at the light on the ceiling, and said lightly: "

he's gone."

"gone?"

Hearing this, Wu Shixun couldn't help but put down the phone in his hand and turned his head to look over.

"Wu Saike." Chi Jingyuan didn't explain, he just said his name.

Wu Shixun was stunned for a moment and understood instantly. He sat up immediately, and the laziness he had felt immediately disappeared: "jinjia?"

"..." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said nothing.

"Then why don't you tell Brother Chenghuan and the others quickly?"

"So what can I do? They have been prepared before, and now no one knows where they are going." Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and checked the time, then threw the mobile phone next to the pillow: "

Brother Seunghwan should probably find out later.

Wu Shixun, who was originally a little anxious, frowned for a while after hearing this. He seemed to be sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. After two minutes of silence, he looked over and felt confused: "He... then why are you calling you to eat when he has already left?"

?”

"have no idea……"

Chi Jingyuan looked at the blazing white ceiling light and smiled: "Maybe he thinks I'm good-looking?"

Although he said this, he actually understood some of the other person's thoughts.

Luhan seems to have quite a lot of affection for EXO. After all, he has worked hard for it for so many years. The countless sweat he has shed in the practice room over the years has not evaporated and disappeared, but has been integrated into it bit by bit unknowingly.

into one's own heart.

Although he has made up his mind to leave, he does not seem to want to leave as a completely disgusting and despised traitor like Wu Sike. He also wants to leave a mark in the eyes of other members who have been with him for so long.

Not bad, not a bad final impression.

Or in Chi Jingyuan's eyes, maybe for Luhan, Chi Jingyuan is one of the most recognized members of the team, and even if he leaves, he still wants some understanding from him.

Maybe doing this will give him some comfort.

The room fell into silence, both of them seemed to be thinking about this matter.

After a while, people from the company finally discovered that Luhan was missing. After searching several rooms, Li Chenghuan came to Chi Jingyuan and the others. After a knock on the door, Wu Shixun went to open the door for him and let him in.

"Jingyuan, where did Luhan go after you had dinner with him just now? I can't get messages or make calls..." Li Chenghuan asked anxiously as soon as he walked in.

"he's gone."

"Leaving?" Li Chenghuan was also stunned for a moment, his expression changed as if he was thinking of something bad: "What do you mean?"

"It's what you think, brother." Chi Jingyuan looked at him and pursed his lips, and then briefly told what happened just now, without mentioning the specific content of the chat.

"This..." The manager didn't know what to say, but he guessed that SM had made some plans before. After a brief hesitation, Li Chenghuan walked out of the room and took out his mobile phone to start contacting the company.

The members living in other rooms also saw that something was wrong and walked out one after another. They met in the corridor and chatted for a few words before converging on Chi Jingyuan and the others.

"What's going on? Luhan suddenly lost contact. I called him but no one answered."

"Gone? Why?"

"Tao, do you know? You usually have such a good relationship with Luhan..."

"Why is it so sudden? I didn't feel it at all before."

A group of people gathered in the room to discuss, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Not long ago, Wu Saike Zhuyu set a good example in front of them, which made it difficult for them not to make malicious associations.

Faced with the members' inquiries, Xia Guo and Lin, who had known about it beforehand, didn't know how to speak. They half-leaned against the wall and stared at the ground in a daze.

Chi Jingyuan sat on the bed and leaned on the mattress at the head of the bed without speaking. Although he had already had a little premonition in his heart before, it still felt a bit sudden after the member ran away, and it was uncontrollable after that.

Irritability and a lot of mixed emotions.

In fact, he does understand the other party's thoughts in his heart, but understanding is understanding. It cannot change the fact that the other party left the team within the contract, nor will it reduce the huge negative impact that his withdrawal from the team will have on EXO.

He fiddled with his phone casually, scrolling around without paying much attention to what was displayed on it. He had no desire to reply to the messages that Jiang Seulgi and Son Seungwan sent just now telling Ji Kyungwon that they would debut early.

Chi Jingyuan also noticed that the two of them almost didn't speak during the whole process, and they looked very worried.

Everyone has left, and the company has been trying to see if they can contact him to try to dissuade him. After a boring discussion, the other members returned to their rooms with their own thoughts. Tonight

It is estimated that not many people can sleep well.

The next morning, just as EXO 11 and the team were preparing to board the plane back to the Peninsula with the team at the airport, the latest news exposed by the Peninsula media immediately aroused public opinion:

"At 10 a.m. on July 20, EXO's popular member Luhan submitted an indictment to the Seoul District Court by his attorney because 'the company was unable to provide a suitable future development plan, and his body was overwhelmed with illness due to high-intensity work pressure, etc.'

The application for a contract with SM Entertainment is invalid."
