Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 137 Lin Yoona's Trick on Lin Xiaolu (Please Subscribe and Vote)
At the elevator entrance.

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's car slowly approaching, Lin Xiaolu immediately stepped forward, deftly opened the car door, and climbed inside.

As soon as she sat down, she took off her sunglasses, smiled at Yoona in the passenger seat, and greeted her in a soft and sweet voice, "Hello, teacher~"

When Lin Xiuyuan heard that tone, his grip on the steering wheel tightened, and he felt something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, as the word "old" was emphasized and drawn out, Lin Yoona, who had just been talking to Lin Xiuyuan about her charm, suddenly froze and turned her head to look at Lin Xiaolu in the back seat.

No, I didn't have that kind of offensive power when I was young.

But there wasn't time for her to think too much about it now, so Yoona returned a smile to Lin Xiaolu and casually glanced at her outfit, "Oh, little girl, why are you dressed so... youthful today?"

"Eh? Really?"

Lin Xiaolu stared at that incredibly familiar face, blinked, and looked down at her clothes as if she was genuinely surprised. "23 years old, isn't that the prime of youth? I should dress more youthfully so I can look as young as Xiu Yuan."

Upon hearing the specific figure of "23 years old," which was down to the single digit, Lin Yoona in the front seat fell silent instantly, while Lin Xiuyuan, who was driving, chuckled and his shoulders twitched slightly.

"Oh dear, teacher, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about your situation."

Lin Xiaolu looked as if she had suddenly remembered something, her voice as sweet as candy, and said, "Let's not talk about age next time, after all... 23 is a bit old, right? What do you think, Xiuyuan?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiuyuan decisively changed the subject. "Let's go for a drive."

"Drive first," Lim Yoona said curtly, her tone tinged with coldness.

Then Lin Xiuyuan didn't waste any more words. He very tactfully stepped on the gas and left the parking lot, randomly choosing a direction and driving onto the avenue bathed in the early summer sun.

The atmosphere inside the car was subtle yet lively.

Lin Xiaolu, sitting in the back seat, quietly leaned forward, looked at Lin Yoona's profile, and began her "attack plan" again.

"Teacher, your outfit today is really mature. I was just thinking about whether I should change into a long dress. But then I thought, forget it, I can't pull off your style, so I chose this one instead."

Mature and sophisticated!
These two words, like precision-guided missiles, struck directly at Lim Yoon-a, who had just said "incredibly sexy."

She narrowed her eyes, and although a smile still lingered on her lips, her fighting power had already been secretly activated.

Although she toned down her sharpness in 2025, it doesn't mean she won't fight back.

“Your outfit is pretty good too,” she said slowly, glancing back at Lin Xiaolu. “It’s quite youthful, and your calves have nice lines… It’s just a pity you can’t show any more skin.”

In response, Lin Xiaolu in the back seat immediately chimed in, "It's alright, teacher~ I can have corrective surgery on my leg. I don't know, at your age... what else can be done?"

When she said this, her little expression and eyes were very lively, not at all like the clumsy girl she was in class before.

The air froze instantly.

This direct and blunt statement silenced the carriage for three seconds.

Lin Xiuyuan stared intently at the road ahead, as if he were no longer in this world, only occasionally stealing a glance at the two people in the front and back seats through the rearview mirror.

But the suppressed smile on his lips couldn't be hidden no matter what.

The car continued to travel through the streets of Seoul, the hustle and bustle slowly being left behind, and the outside world gradually became quiet, with a tranquil park built along the river nestled among the greenery.

Lin Xiaolu twirled the sunglasses in her hand, her usual innocent smile making her hard to read, and continued her offensive towards Lin Yoona in the passenger seat.

"Teacher, do you think there's anything wrong with this dress? I do feel that I look a bit... well, like a tomboy in a long dress. I want to look like you did in a dress last time, alluring, charming, sexy and mature."

After she finished speaking, she blinked, clearly waiting for Yoona's reaction.

But this time, Yoona wasn't going to play along and just said, "Hey, that's enough. Yoona, what's gotten into you today? You're just babbling on and on. Who upset you?"

Lin Xiaolu retorted, "Didn't you start it? Dressed like this, you came over and asked me to come out for a drive. You just wanted to show off your figure."

"I didn't have that intention. It was Xiuyuan who asked you to come along," Lin Yoona retorted.

Lin Xiaolu paused, "Huh? Did Lin Xiuyuan say you looked beautiful and particularly elegant today? I thought you were here to show off."

After briefly checking the accounts, the two fawns, Bambi, quickly exchanged glances and soon discovered the 'traitor'. They immediately turned their attention to Lin Xiuyuan, who was driving.

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan's forehead began to sweat. "Well, I was just... telling the truth. I didn't expect you guys to be 'competing for attention'..."

After hearing the explanation, Lin Yoona chuckled and said, "Tsk tsk, Xiu Yuan, I really underestimated you. It's a pity you're not in public relations with that kind of relaying ability."

Lin Xiaolu chimed in, "This guy was clearly stirring things up. I saw him smirking just now; he was obviously watching the show. No wonder he suddenly said those things to me; now I know what it was all about."

"I didn't, Lin Xiaolu, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Xiuyuan dared not admit it, so he adopted a stubborn and defiant attitude.

Meanwhile, the car silently accelerated, and under the cold gazes of Lin Yoona and Lin Xiaolu, it drove through a residential area and finally stopped at the parking lot of a riverside park in the suburbs.

Unlike the bustling parks in the city, this place has a tranquil coolness, and you can occasionally hear the sound of the river lapping against the shore. The air is fresh, giving you a sense of peace and tranquility, a temporary escape from the hustle and bustle.

This also marks a brief pause in watching this "in-car confrontation".

"arrive."

After saying this, Lin Xiuyuan quickly got out of the car; the atmosphere inside was quite oppressive.

Lin Xiaolu got out of the car right after him, opened the door and stepped out, stretching and enjoying the fresh air.

"To be honest, I've been going back and forth between the company and your place, Lin Xiuyuan, lately. It's been a long time since I've had the chance to relax and enjoy the breeze and sunshine like this."

Next was Yoona in the passenger seat. She slowly got out of the car, looked up at the open scenery, and said with a slightly unfocused look, "This park will be gone by 2025 and turned into residential buildings."

"How did you know."

Lin Xiuyuan, who originally planned to stay far away because of the 'stirring up trouble' incident, had no choice but to turn around and come back when he met Lin Yoona's ambiguous smile.

"I used to come here for a walk when I was dating, otherwise how would I know about this place? Unless you come here specifically to have fun, basically no one stops in this little park."

Faced with Lin Yoona's explanation, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly realized what was going on and looked around at his surroundings.

This park is neither near residential areas nor commercial areas; it's just next to a highway, far from any village or shop.

After reading it, he said with some emotion, "No wonder. I was wondering how you knew about this place. So you came back to reminisce about the past?"

"Missing you my foot, I just wanted to come over and get some fresh air."

Lin Yoona chuckled, then lightly kicked Lin Xiuyuan as a small punishment for his earlier instigation and misspoken words.

Lin Xiuyuan jumped aside, laughing as he said, "Going back to 2013 from 2025 to feel the wind, Yoona, you are the most romantic person I have ever met."

In response, Lin Yoona pointed to the side and laughed, "Forget it, Xiu Yuan, you stay here and keep watch for us. Don't talk to me anymore, you're getting more and more annoying."

Lin Xiuyuan was delighted with this, so he quickly moved away from the two, but he didn't forget to look around and keep watch for the two Bambi fawns.

Although he was also very curious about what they were going to talk about.

As he left, Lin Xiaolu, who had already sensed something, turned to Lin Yun'er and asked, "You came here specifically to tell me something, right?"

"Well, I was thinking of having Xiu Yuan call you over, but I decided to come over myself and do some sightseeing while I'm at it."

Yoona nodded slightly. Besides going for a drive, she did have something to discuss with Lin Xiaolu this time.

"What is it?" Lin Xiaolu asked curiously.

Then she saw Lim Yoona take out a phone, pull out a photo, and hand it to her.

Looking at the figures in the photo, Lin Xiaolu first focused on Jessica. "Hey, Jessica unnie doesn't seem to have changed much, except her hairline is a bit higher, hahaha."

"I didn't mean for you to see her." Lim Yoona said, somewhat annoyed.

"Is that Sun-kyu unnie? Her face looks a little stiff, is it a side effect?" Lin Xiaolu looked at the person next to her.

Yoona rolled her eyes in exasperation, then grabbed Lin Xiaolu by the neck and whispered in her ear, "Look at Krystal, look at Krystal, didn't you notice that she looks a little different today than when we saw her yesterday?"

"Was this filmed today?"

The voice in her ear made Lin Xiaolu whisper, then she took off her sunglasses and squinted at Krystal on her phone screen.

After a moment, he replied, "It doesn't seem to be much different. It's probably just my personal condition. I look better than yesterday. I guess I slept well last night."

Lin Xiaolu's words made Lin Yoona roll her eyes. She swiped her finger to open a buffered video and handed the screen to Lin Xiaolu again.

Two minutes later, through the dynamic video, Lin Xiaolu noticed a slight difference. "My skin looks so good! Has 25 years of cosmetics made it this smooth? My dark circles aren't as heavy, and the concealer shade looks great too."

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona sneered, "That's because Krystal only wore BB cream, while she wore a full face of makeup yesterday. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Xiaolu didn't understand before because there wasn't enough information.

Now that Lin Yoona had revealed her hand directly, Lin Xiaolu suddenly realized and turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was stretching his limbs, "You mean him?"

"Besides Xiu Yuan, I really can't think of a second answer. This change in state is too exaggerated. I've tried sleeping for a whole day before, and it wasn't this exaggerated."

Lin Yoona put her phone away, her eyes gleaming with intense light as she looked at Lin Xiuyuan.

"This is too outrageous!" Lin Xiaolu was still reluctant to believe it.

"Could there be anything more outrageous than a time portal?" Im Yoona said.

Lin Xiaolu was speechless, but then a curious voice asked, "Then why are you telling me this? Why don't you just go and try it out with him? Didn't you say before that it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, or a friend or acquaintance?"

Lin Xiaolu, realizing that Yoona wanted to use her as a guinea pig, directly asked her a question in return.

Then Yoona spread her hands and said, "I would like to, but I don't have time. I'm going overseas tomorrow and I'll be busy for a while. There are a lot of fan meetings and events before and after my birthday, as you know."

"What a coincidence?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened.

In response, Lim Yoona said, "This is something I've postponed time and time again."

They talked as they walked slowly along the riverbank until they saw a small pavilion.

Yoona suggested, "Let's sit and chat in that pavilion over there, it's cool there."

Lin Xiaolu nodded, and then didn't forget to call Lin Xiuyuan along.

The three of them then walked unhurriedly to the small pavilion near the water. After sitting down, a gentle breeze blew by, making the atmosphere even more peaceful and relaxed.

Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, enjoying this moment of peace while also looking around to keep watch for the two people behind him.

Behind the pavilion, Lin Yoona and Lin Xiaolu sat very close together. Lin Xiaolu tilted her head, as if she had been holding back for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice, "Why do you have to make me try?"

Lin Yoona did not answer immediately, but instead let her gaze fall on Xiu Yuan, who was leaning against a pavilion pillar in front of her.

After a moment, she asked softly, "Have you looked closely at Xiu Yuan's eyes and his physique?"

"Ah, no."

Lin Xiaolu was taken aback by the question. She blinked and shook her head hesitantly. "Although we've talked a lot, I don't think I've ever really looked into his eyes. It's the same with his physique; I've never seen him take his clothes off."

"That's a real shame, Xiu Yuan has a really amazing physique."

Yoona rested her chin on her hand as if recalling something, a familiar smile playing on her lips, a smile that was somewhere between playful and serious. "As for the eyes, you'll know once you take a look. Those eyes are truly clear, incredibly clear."

She paused, then continued, "It's like it's been washed clean, unrealistically so, like eyes with a 'protagonist filter'."

"So what?" Lin Xiaolu still didn't understand what this had to do with her.

Yoona gently raised her head and looked directly into her doe-like eyes. "I was thinking, if you could have eyes like that, you'd probably have a lot of leading lady roles on your desktop."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration."

Lin Xiaolu, having figured out the situation, found it somewhat unbelievable.

It's just mugwort, how could it transform?
"I don't know either, I'm just explaining it to you."

Yoona shrugged lightly and said calmly, "The reason I suddenly came to talk to you about this today is mainly because some photos and videos that Soon-kyu unnie sent me shocked me, so I wanted to talk to you about it. If you don't believe me, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Faced with Yoona's statement, Lin Xiaolu rolled her eyes, "Do you think that's possible? You've already said it, and even showed me the evidence, and then you expect me to pretend I don't know anything?"

Then, seemingly having figured something out, Lin Xiaolu immediately looked at her future self with immense frustration.

"Oh, I see. You're blatantly trying to seduce me with something. Hey, Yoona, that's not very fair of you. After all, I'm still you."

"That's why I'm doing this for your own good," Lim Yoona said with a faint smile.

"Thank you so much."

After making a comment, Lin Xiaolu stopped talking and followed Lin Yoona's gaze to the boy who was leaning against the pavilion pillar.

Her thoughts suddenly drifted far away, and she pursed her thin lips tightly before letting out a soft sigh.

Beside her, Yoona, who had been watching the situation closely, smiled slightly. It wasn't that she was unwilling to go herself, but she wanted to see if the effect was really that significant.

Hmm, let me take a look.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who you cheat, cheating yourself is the least stressful thing.

……

……

In the evening, after strolling around the riverside park for a while, the group drove around Seoul twice.

The 'drive-by' finally came to an end as the sun began to set and the city lights came on.

Since there was still rehearsal that evening, Lin Xiuyuan first took Lin Xiaolu back to her dormitory before taking Lin Yun'er back to 2025.

"Xiuyuan, shall we have dinner together?" Lin Yun'er suggested immediately upon returning to the villa.

However, Lin Xiuyuan said that he had already made plans with Dalongzai for the evening.

"Hmm?" Yoona narrowed her doe-like eyes, her smile deepening. "The two of you?"

Lin Xiuyuan quickly replied, "Friend, friend, don't overthink it."

"Haha~"

Lin Yoona, who had just been criticized by Lin Xiaolu for using this word, was surprised to hear it again from Lin Xiuyuan's mouth, so she rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

However, she wasn't a little girl, and she wouldn't throw a tantrum just because she was rejected.

She even stepped forward to help Lin Xiuyuan brush the dirt off his sleeves, saying, "Then drive carefully. I'm starting work tomorrow, and I need to go back and pack my things tonight."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with curiosity. "Oh, you're working? How many days will you be busy?"

"It'll take 3 or 4 days, but I also need to promote the new drama, so I'll probably have to fly to 3 or 4 places. It'll probably take more than a week after I'm done, about the same time it will take you to get back from Japan."

The two, still chatting, left the villa, got into the Mercedes, and sped off again through the familiar streets of Seoul.

However, this time it's 2025, not 2013.

After dropping Lin Yoona off at her apartment, Lin Xiuyuan turned the car around and drove towards the place he had arranged to meet Da Longzai on the way.

However, when he arrived at his destination, he did not see the dragon cub, but Ham Eun-jung.

Slightly surprised, Lin Xiuyuan pulled up in front of her, rolled down the window, and said, "Good evening, Eun-jung."

When Ham Eun-jung saw Lin Xiu-yuan, she smiled first, then said softly, "Good evening, Xiu-yuan. Ji-yeon isn't here; she's somewhere else. I asked her to call you to come pick me up so we can go together."

"Oh, you could have just called me directly. I thought she was here."

After understanding the situation, Lin Xiuyuan quickly unlocked the car door and let Xian Enjing sit in the passenger seat.

The person who had just sat down twitched their nose slightly, as if they had caught a whiff of something, and turned to look curiously at the boy in the driver's seat.

Faced with that look, Lin Xiuyuan explained without hesitation, "I just took Yoona back to her apartment. It must be that her perfume scent hasn't completely dissipated."

Upon hearing the scent of Yoona's perfume, Ham Eun-jung's eyes lit up, and she laughed, "Looks like Xiuyuan, quite a few girls have ridden in your passenger seat."

These words made Lin Xiuyuan silent for a moment. After counting the number of people, he looked at Xian Enjing next to him with some surprise.

"Oh, you seem to be the fourth one."
