age You ever met someone like that"Jung Eon-ji waved her hand and explained for a moment.She's right, as a nation with a strong drinking culture, the peninsula, although there are regulations prohibit...Even at night, the floors of ** company were still brightly lit, as if it were daytime. But when I turned a corner, I suddenly came across a figure which startled me.

Isn't this person walking silently

Qi Jingyuan's body froze for a second, then he frowned and looked at the figure lingering there so late, like a ghost.

As soon as his eyes caught sight of her, they flickered.

A light yellow long-sleeved shirt was layered under a dark coat, paired with gray sweatpants and light-colored sneakers. A bag hung on her right shoulder. The standard practice outfit of an athletic trainee wasn't particularly noteworthy.

But the white baseball cap with a duck pattern on top was very noticeable.

This ghost pool scene knows, a girl who hasn't seen a few times, but is quite familiar, Pei Zhuhyun.

Because she was selected into ** Rookies, her hopes for debuting increased significantly. Lately, she had been practicing until very late before ending her day. Irene was just finishing practice and preparing to return to the dormitory. Since there weren't many people around, she was a little absentminded, lost in thought. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly darted out from beside her and bumped straight into her.

She was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of Chi Jingyuan, jumping back two steps in surprise and even jerking her body, looking much more exaggerated than him.

After being startled, her eyes quickly looked over. In that instant, Park Chae-young recognized Ji Kyeong-won, and her eyes lit up visibly. The panic on her face immediately disappeared.

"Anihasaiyo..."

Pei Zhuxuan bowed politely and greeted in a low voice, glanced at Ji Jingyuan once, then unnaturally lowered her head slightly.

"Anihasaiyo..."

Pool Geon-yeong also nodded in response, he glanced up and down at the bowed Bae Joo-hyun, his gaze lingering on her hat for a few seconds, but he didn't say much. After greeting her, he tightened his crossbody bag and walked towards the door.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

This sister can walk now, she was making noise. I didn't know what was going on just now.

At first, he didn't pay attention. After turning a corner, he realized the footsteps were still behind him. Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but stop and look back.

...And Pei Zhuxuan immediately stopped walking, glanced at him briefly, and then looked down at the floor, starting to study the direction of the floor patterns.

"Senior, are you also leaving the company"

After a few meters, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to speak.

"Back to the dorm..."

Pei Zhuxuan responded softly, her hat covering her forehead and eyes, making it unclear. After speaking, she hesitated for two seconds and added: "Jingyuan xi debuted before me, you should be my senior."

"Mi ah nei, called used to it…"

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, didn't ask anything more, turned his head and continued walking towards the door, taking an face mask from his bag as he walked.

He wore a loose sweatshirt and sweatpants for practice because he had to rehearse dancing in the evening. He felt sweaty and hot while dancing, but this month's temperature was already lower, especially at night when it got a bit chilly.

He walked ahead, while Bae Joo-hyun silently followed behind, her eyes blinking as she gazed at Ji-yeong's back, her heart seemingly pondering something.

Stepping out the side door, a gust of cold air hit him. Chi Jingyuan stood there, taking a deep breath and pulling his collar up slightly to cover his chin.

Interestingly, Ji Jingyuan stood still. Pei Zhuhyun followed him out the door and also stopped, rubbing her hands and shifting her feet, as if waiting for him to go first and lead the way. Ji Jingyuan found this very amusing.

After being stunned for two seconds, Pei Zhuxuan seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit ridiculous. She hurriedly lowered her head and pressed the brim of her hat down a little, nodded slightly at Ji Jingyuan, and was about to take a step away. However, just as she had taken one step, with her other foot still in the air before landing, Ji Jingyuan's voice suddenly came over:

"Hey... Soohyun xi, if you don't have anything important to do back at the dorm... Want to just wander around a bit I'm free right now anyway."

When Pei Zhuxuan heard this, she was surprised and turned back. She saw Ji Kyeongwon smiling at her with a slight nod, as if he had only made an ordinary suggestion.

池 Jingyuan could be considered a spontaneous person. Besides frequently hearing about this girl from Jiang Sheqi, which piqued his interest, he also found that the two of them were quite fated. He had already encountered her several times by chance since starting at the company. Today, when he was practicing alone until so late and preparing to go back, he actually ran into Bae Suzy again. He didn't know what bad luck he had incurred.

As for the homework I was originally planning to review, it's alright to delay it a little.

"Ugh...inside."

Pei Zhuxuan seemed clearly flustered by this sudden invitation. She hesitated for a long while before nodding and softly agreeing.

After a moment's silence, Ji Jingyuan gestured towards her. Pei Zhuxuan silently walked to Ji Jingyuan's side, slightly behind him, and followed him forward.

Although they were previously unfamiliar with each other, the two somehow found themselves walking side by side in a strange way. They didn't say much along the way, only the sound of their footsteps echoing continuously in the moonlight-drenched alley.

After walking for a while, they reached the riverside path next to ** Company. Chi Jingyuan remembered why he had such an impression of this senior trainee who he hadn't spoken to more than two words with – because he had seen the other person crying here last time.

The atmosphere wasn't awkward, just a little weird.

Ji Jingyuan would occasionally glance back at her, but Pei Zhuxuan was like she was afraid of him. She met his gaze for a second then quickly looked away, not knowing what she was afraid of.

After turning back once more, Ji Jingyuan couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke up: "Chuhyun xi, I feel like you're very afraid of me. Did I do something that scared you this much"

"Annie, it's not like that...."

Pei Zhuhyun shook her head quickly and waved her hand, but she didn't continue speaking.

"It's not fear, it's just another aspect..."

Chi Jingyuan looked her up and down. When his gaze fell on the duck, he suddenly smiled: "Isn't it because of this hat"

“…………”

Like something from a heart-to-heart conversation, Bae Joo-hyun bit her lip and remained silent.

After that chance encounter by the river, Bae Ju-hyeon got this Pokémon collaboration baseball cap from Ji-yeong. She's had it ever since and treasures it, often wearing it.

When she's feeling down, she'll just stare at the silly little Plucky Duck for a while. At that moment, she can't help but burst into laughter.

Sometimes she would stare at the hat blankly, lost in thought, and inexplicably remember some past events.

After that, she unknowingly grew to love the hat very much and it became something very important to her.

But Bae Joohyun remembered very clearly that at the time, Ji Kyungwon had only worried that she would be seen with a runny nose and tears when she went back and lent her the hat. Now, she felt a sense of guilt as if it were rightfully hers, and she was also worried that Ji Kyungwon would ask for it back because Bae Joohyun really didn't want to part with it.

This caused her to always be a little timid when facing Ji Jingyuan, unable to look him in the eye, afraid that he would remember and take back the hat.

This will hear the other party think of it after pointing out, Pei Zhuxuan became a little nervous, pursed her lips, looking somewhat downcast.

Just then, Chi Jingyuan chuckled lightly and casually said:

"Here you go."
