t he took a year off school because of his debut. This year, he officially enrolled."Do Kyung-Soo is quite knowledgeable and speaks eloquently to the camera."Wow! I've never heard of this before. I be..."Don't look any further, some of the comments online are saying some really outrageous things..."

Jeong Seo-jeong walked over to Ji Kyeong-won and sat beside him. She reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder, pursed her lips, and said something concernedly.

After a morning of intense filming, it was lunchtime. Chi Jingyuan didn't have much appetite and just shovelled in a few bites of rice before taking out his phone to browse the forum. He looked at the many posts attacking him with a blank expression.

Jung So-jung was secretly watching from afar while eating lunch. After a while, she gently put down her lunch box, wiped her mouth, and walked over.

Her eyes clearly showed worry, and her expression seemed like she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if afraid that Chi Jingyuan's mood would be affected by the negative comments, but she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"Care about me"

Qi Jingyuan put down his phone and looked up at Zheng Xiujing's worried eyes. His expressionless face suddenly smiled, and he winked at her.

“…………”

Their eyes met, and Jung Seo-jeong gave a slight nod. Then she extended her hand as if wanting to move Ji-gyeong's phone further away, muttering, "Stop looking."

Ji Jingyuan didn't resist, willingly letting Zheng Xiujing move his phone to the side.

Seeing her goal accomplished, Jeong So-jeong's mouth twitched into a slight smile. But before she could relish her victory for even a second, she heard Ji Kyung-won say, "Senior, it seems like you didn't wipe your mouth properly."

"Oh!"

The atmosphere immediately felt ruined. Jung Soo-jeong frowned and slapped Ji-gyeong hard, then quickly turned away to hide her face from him. She grabbed a tissue and frantically wiped her mouth.

Afterward, she turned back and met Chi Jingyuan's playful gaze with a frown. She said in an annoyed tone, "I was just trying to comfort you, how can you act like this"

"Thank you for your concern, senior. Mi ah-ne, actually I'm fine." Ji Jingyuan shrugged.

"Well, as long as you're not angry... Today should be an earlier finish, FX doesn't have anything scheduled, how about we go for dinner together tonight"

After waiting for a while, Jung So-min took the initiative to invite him.

"Tonight... Sorry, I already have plans."

Chi Jingyuan looked up for a moment, then shook his head.

"Who would ask you out at this time What about your girlfriend Do I know her"

Upon hearing the response, Jung Soo-jeong's expression immediately became serious. She puffed out her cheeks and stared intently at Ji Kyeong-won, firing a barrage of questions from her lips.

Seeing her this determined, like she's going to pry something out of him no matter what, Ji Jingyuan felt a bit amused. A sudden impulse arose within him.

He did it, right away extending his right hand and giving a slap to Jung Soo-jung's forehead.

"Ah! Oh! Chi Jingyuan!"

Jung Soo-jeong, who was suddenly attacked, covered her head and stared at the other person with wide eyes, gritting her teeth.

"Thanks for your concern, senior. But this time it's not my girlfriend, it's a relative, and... you should know them too."

"Who is that"

"I won't tell you."

"You…"

…………

"I heard you've been really tired from filming, and you barely took a break even after finally getting some time off. You even made a special effort to treat me to dinner to comfort me Don't be so kind."

Chi Jingyuan and Yi saw him and immediately grinned, running small steps to Cui Xuerli who was at the front and clapped her hands. Then, in a somewhat exaggerated tone, he said something, but the smile on his face was very gentle.

He didn't lie to Jung Se-jeong either; he did have an appointment, and the person who made the appointment was Choi Soo-ri.

Cui Xueli was recently recommended by ** company to star in the movie "Pirates," playing a role of moderate importance. For an idol actress who had a flop in her last TV series, this is a pretty good opportunity.

Before, when they were chatting on their phones, Cui Xueli even complained to him that filming this movie was really tiring. It was hot weather and she had to wear thick costumes, filming for a whole day, it was simply torturous.

And the news that Park Ji-won's new drama "The Heirs" had a poor premiere couldn't be kept hidden. His close friends have been keeping tabs on it, and in the past few days, Park Ji-won has received many encouraging calls and text messages of support.

Choi Seol-ri, having two days off from filming, immediately called him after returning to ask him out for a meal together. Her words and actions clearly showed her concern and desire to comfort him.

Although he actually doesn't need it that much, to be honest, I was really touched.

Chi Jingyuan finished work early today and the two met directly at ** company.

"We're practically childhood friends, how could I not care and comfort you when you're feeling down"

Choi Seol-ri wore a simple bat shirt paired with casual pants and flat shoes. She stood beside him, looking at him with an air of entitlement, then specifically reminded him: "If I'm in a bad situation in the future, don't forget to help me out."

"Of course not, I won't forget,"

Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded.

"Come on, I've already reserved a table. Senior, you're treating me to barbecue today!"

They looked at each other, smiled, and walked side by side out of the company. As they walked, Choi Se-ri began to say some comforting words.

She also looked at the comments online over the past two days about "The Heirs" and Park Seo Joon. Some of the negative comments were really harsh, and she felt angry when she put herself in their shoes. She was feeling very agitated.

At this moment, she put a lot of effort into easing Chi Jingyuan's emotions.

Choi Se-ri actually used herself as an example, citing her previous work "To the Beautiful You" and how she dealt with the negativity. She explained how she ignored the online hate comments and ultimately stood strong.

That's really inspiring.

Chi Jingyuan looked at Cui Xueli's serious expression, feeling amused and somewhat sentimental.

Although this girl can be a bit self-centered sometimes and not everyone's cup of tea, her genuine care for her friends is truly endearing.

We took the elevator to one floor, chatting all the way. The atmosphere was very good.

Just as she was about to leave, a sudden ring came from Choi Se-ri's bag. She took it out and saw the caller ID, not bothering with the presence of Ji Kyeong-won beside her, she answered the call loudly and directly:

"Hey, Oppa What's up"

"...."

"Hey, the crew is on holiday, how did you know But I already made plans to have dinner with friends today... You probably haven't met them, they're close relatives of mine from the same year."

“…………”

"I have to go back to the set tomorrow afternoon, next time then."

"...."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You're right next to the ** building Let's meet later then, but I definitely don't have time today."

“…………”

"See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Choi Se-ri put her phone back in her bag and turned her head to look at Park Ji-yeong, as if waiting for him to ask a question.

Only Chi Jingyuan blinked, meeting her gaze. He seemed to have no intention of discussing her private matters at all.

"Aren't you curious"

Choi Seol-li asked a question.

I'm curious about your private life. What do you do

Chi Jingyuan replied silently, but when he saw the other person's face fall and become unhappy, he sighed: "Yes, Senior Xueli, I'm just curious, who called just now"

"What a shame, not even a bit of concern from family..."

"Choi Se-ri pouted her lower lip and muttered, then began to explain: 'He's a senior I met during an event before. We've been in touch ever since, and every time I have a break, he often invites me to eat together or go out.'"

"Senior In the music industry"

"Do you know Jaeho, a member of the hip-hop duo Dynabssp; "

"I don't know him, I think I've heard of him...I'm not very interested in hip hop, I haven't been exposed to it much."

"Cut... You guys EXO are really popular, not even knowing seniors I debuted in 04, released several albums, and am quite famous in the Korean hip-hop scene."

Choi Se-ri seemed somewhat displeased, and she shot a glance at Ji Kyeong-won.

"Wow, wow, he's very famous, very famous.... This senior is chasing after you"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chi Jingyuan perfunctorily nodded and asked with concern.

"Judging by his expression, he must think so. After all, I am quite charming."

Cui Xueli clearly understood the other party's intentions.

"Debut in 2004... How old is this senior"

Chi Jingyuan suddenly reacted, turned his head and asked with a frown.

"She's from the year 1980, which makes her 14 years older than us."

Choi Seol-ri casually replied, seemingly completely unconcerned.

Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips, savoring the age gap, and his eyes narrowed slightly:

"That senior, he's truly big enough…",
