Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 3 Do you believe in the future?

……

Do you believe in the future? Do you think you'll still be in Girls' Generation next year? How about the title of sunglasses fashion designer? How about the brand name Blanc? Does it sound familiar? Do you think I stole your idea, or do you choose to believe in the future?

……

After more than two months of continuous comeback schedule, Jessica originally thought that she could finally have a few days of vacation to rest, but she received a call early this morning saying that there was an urgent advertising photo shoot that required her to take part in.

Jessica has encountered this kind of trouble more than once or twice since her debut many years ago, so even though she was angry, she just postponed it to the afternoon.

Then he slept until noon, looked at the messy drawings on the desk, sighed, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Then she simply put on a pure white sweater and tights, and put on a tweed coat on the outside before going out.

The company's nanny car had already been waiting in the parking lot downstairs. After picking up Jessica, it went straight to the studio where the photo shoot was taking place.

After getting off the car, Jessica frowned slightly as she looked at the inconspicuous photography studio sign. This was completely inconsistent with her current identity.

But even so, she didn't say anything, but she roughly understood that this so-called pictorial shoot was probably another private arrangement by someone in the company.

She felt helpless, but she also knew that both she and the group needed all the publicity and planning. It would not be good for anyone if things got awkward, so she just regarded this half-day break as a contribution to this boring shoot.

But the eyes under the sunglasses became even colder, and he didn't want to talk at all.

Soon, Jessica came down the stairs to the photography studio. She first greeted some of the studio staff in a very official manner, left a few cooperation notes and signed a few autographs, and then quickly walked into Studio 2.

Following behind her was a slightly plump female photographer, her face flushed with excitement.

Then came the makeup and changing process, which took more than an hour. Jessica finally finished everything, walked in front of the camera, and saw a boy standing under an umbrella light.

His appearance is not common among boys in the peninsula. His delicate facial features are very recognizable. The only thing is his messy long hair, which makes him look a little sloppy.

Originally, Jessica didn't care about this, but she soon discovered that the other person's eyes were fixed on her, and there was a certain uneasy aggression in his eyes.

As an idol, Jessica is already accustomed to all kinds of stares.

But at this moment, the boy's eyes were a little too sharp, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Try as she might, she couldn't ignore the discomfort.

This is a natural instinct of the body, and she can't control it.

All she could do was ignore the look, remain professional and continue filming.

Fortunately, apart from the other party's somewhat fiery eyes, he did not do anything excessive at work, so Jessica breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when the filming was over and Jessica was getting in the nanny car to go home, the situation took a dramatic turn.

She found a note in the pocket of her woolen coat. When she took it out and looked at it, her face instantly became stunned and shocked.

The note said "Future", "Sunglasses Design", "Blanc..."

These words were like a sword piercing her heart.

From disgust to astonishment, to shock, disbelief, and so on, various small expressions began to take turns to appear on her charming face, performing a big drama of changing faces. At this moment, Jessica can definitely bid for the Best Actress acting skill.

She had just dismissed the so-called future as a joke.

But the following sentence about the sunglasses design and the brand name that only appeared in her mind completely confused her.

Especially the brand name, Jessica didn't even tell her closest family member, her sister, because it was all just an idea.

She never expected that on such an ordinary day, she would appear on a note handed to her by a "caring person".

Faced with this situation, Jessica had to think more.

The little hand nervously grasped the note, and his eyes scanned it again and again, lingering on the sentence longer and longer each time.

Finally, he took a deep breath, turned the note over, and saw the address and time left by the other party.

She was very familiar with the address, near an apartment building in Gangnam District.

Time: 7pm.

Now the choice is up to Jessica. It's up to her to decide whether to go to the appointment or not.

At the same time, Jessica began to frantically recall her memories of the photoshoot, trying to find the person who left the note for her.

This thought stretched from the afternoon to the evening, when a figure slowly emerged in her mind. Seeing the other person clearly, Jessica suddenly stood up, grabbed her coat, and headed for the door, ready to go out.

Behind her, Krystal, who had just returned, looked at her and said, "Ouni, where are you going?"

“Go see the future.”

……

……

The darkness of night fell quickly.

At 7 o'clock, Lin Xiuyuan, who had just finished dinner, crossed the road and came to the vicinity of his apartment complex, standing at the side door of the park waiting.

Soon, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of him, the window lowered, Jessica looked at him coldly, with a hint of provocation in her tone: "It's you, what do you want from me?"

"I'd like to invite you back to my apartment."

Faced with Jessica's straightforward statement, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything more and directly expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Jessica's brows furrowed and her eyes instantly became alert.

If it weren't for the hint on the note, she would have stepped on the gas and left, maybe even cursed.

Lin Xiuyuan, understanding the other party's concerns, pulled out a thick industrial rope from his pocket and handed it to him. "I know what you're worried about. How about you tie me up and go over with me? The evidence to prove what I said is right inside the apartment."

In the driver's seat, Jessica stared at Lin Xiuyuan for a long time. The other party's action of standing at the car door with a rope in his hand also attracted some passers-by to look over.

Fortunately, no one realized that the woman in sunglasses and a mask in the car was Jessica, a member of Girls' Generation, otherwise the evening news and the Internet would have been in an uproar.

After a while, Jessica pressed the unlock button on the car door and said, "Get in."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much. He walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat, continuing to hand the rope to the other party.

"No need, address." Jessica responded coldly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan pointed directly to the apartment across the street and said, "It's right inside."

Jessica looked at Lin Xiuyuan with some surprise after taking a look at the apartment complex across the street. According to her understanding, the rent there was not cheap, let alone buying a house.

The latter smiled slightly, as if seeing through her thoughts, and then gave the answer in one sentence, "Haunted house."

This sentence made Jessica's hands tremble slightly while driving, but she quickly adjusted her mood and breathing, and turned the car in the opposite direction.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the apartment building where Lin Xiuyuan lived.

As Jessica parked the car, Lin Xiuyuan asked again, "You really don't need to tie me up? Aren't you afraid I might be a bad guy?"

Jessica's answer was direct. "Blanc, I've never mentioned this to anyone, let alone written it down, but you still know about it. In the face of this surreal phenomenon, what difference does it make whether I tie you up or not?"

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

"say what?"

"Honestly, I don't know if I can give you evidence. Let's go up and take a look first."

After hearing the words, Lin Xiuyuan folded the rope he bought on the roadside and put it in his pocket.

His words made Jessica's eyes burn with anger as she got out of the car. While following in his footsteps, she kept her lips tightly pursed and put her little hand in her pocket, holding the electric baton tightly and not daring to let go, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Soon, Jessica took the elevator to the door of Lin Xiuyuan's apartment and saw him looking back at her in front of the door.

It seems to be asking itself whether it is really okay not to tie itself up.

After realizing that Jessica still ignored him, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything else, opened the door and walked in.

Jessica stood at the door, looking nervously at everything behind the door. After making sure that no one else was lying in ambush, she remained silent for a long time. Until the excitement and mystery of the words on the note prompted her to take a step forward and follow into this strange apartment.

Inside the house, Lin Xiuyuan, who had entered earlier than her, was already standing at the door of the storage room, looking at the entrance with some anticipation.

When he saw Jessica finally follow in, his eyes instantly became determined.

Then he decisively grasped the brass handle, opened the door, and made an inviting gesture towards Jessica, "Please, everything you want to know about the future is behind this door."
