Hey so i saw someone asking if anyone knew lip reading in regards to the chnlx new year's video. I do, and tbh they didn't say anything interesting, but their actions/body language is where it gets really weird.

You can't outright see it, but at the start of the vid I'm pretty sure that they were side hugging for a bit after the initial group hug (cuz of how they were swaying together),and when flx looks at chn you can see him smile a little mischievously(?) first, he then leans in a bit (at first i thought that was only because he wanted chn to hear him Better, but I'm not so sure anymore). I'm assuming that he then says hny (he was covered behind sngmn so I couldn't see his lips) but I'm pretty sure he said that because chn looks at him and then instantly says hny in response.

Strangely enough, it seems that wasn't the response flx was looking for, cuz he leans more into chn's space and says hny again, smile widening (perhaps hinting at a new year's tradition that they have or something) chn seems to have caught on what flx meant the moment after he responded with hny back the first time, and without even looking looking at flx this time he says no in English and then "aniya" a couple of times while shaking his head, with a twist of mouth closer to a grimace than it is to a smile. Flx actually gets close to him teasingly for a third time, I'm assuming still hinting at something. But chn literally wouldn't humor him after that, he just sighs with that same odd expression and looks straight ahead. Flx then gets the hint and stops.

the thing that flx was hinting at could be anything, it could be an inside joke that chn thought wasn't appropriate for the occasion, it could be a refrence to the mini speech that chn gave while they were having their group hug, or it could be something more. Idk man, chnlx have such an intriguing dynamic.

I'm sorry if this was too long, lip reading / body language stuff take ages to explain, cuz you gotta do a play by play.

BTW this is the tweet I'm talking about.

omg thank u so much for this !!! i did catch onto chn saying aniya but couldn’t get anything else so thank u heheheh
and also god bless u for being able to read into their body language 🥹 this is making me so insane hello??????
so so sure they have some type of HNY tradition that they can’t say in front of cameras, and it’s so much more obvious bc why would chn say no to flx saying hny 🤨 theyre so sus and so secretive, it drives me insane and i love them sm for it 😭😭
