Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 36 [Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to...truly live?] (Please read)
Walking up a sloping alley along the Han River, you will soon see a small platform across the middle of the slope. On one side of the platform is a low-key Korean barbecue restaurant.

This is the destination of Lin Xiuyuan and Zheng Xiuyan tonight, and it is also the restaurant where they came with Krystall last time but failed to have supper.

Lin Xiuyuan parked the car, got out, glanced at the sign, and asked, "Is the food here so good? You and Krystal both recommended it here."

“There are few people and the environment is quiet, so many people in the circle use this as a gathering place.”

Jessica Jung got out of the passenger seat and walked over to him, taking a deep look at the shop. "And you've heard from Soo Jung that this shop will be gone soon. Come a few more times and keep some memories."

"It's all right. I'm not the one paying for it anyway."

"Didn't I give you money?"

"Save it."

After saying this, Lin Xiuyuan followed Jessica Jung into the store.

As mentioned before, this place is located in a remote area and is only open to friends and artists. Therefore, even during meal time, there are only two or three tables of guests sitting inside.

Those guests seemed to be familiar faces in the circle. When they saw Jessica Jung come in, they all nodded in greeting.

But when they saw Lin Xiuyuan following closely behind, their eyes instantly became meaningful, and their curiosity and questions could hardly be hidden.

It was not until the two of them entered the box that those gazes slowly withdrew and they began to talk in low voices.

On the other side, Lin Xiuyuan, who had entered the private room, looked at Jessica Jung and asked, "Do you know her?"

"Some staff members of the TV station's variety show production."

Jessica nodded, skillfully took out the menu and tableware from the small cabinet next to her, and set them up herself.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was sitting down, looked at her with amusement, "Aren't you afraid of causing any scandal if we show up like this?"

Jessica Jung paused as she was pouring water. The insults from last night were still lingering in her mind. She snorted coldly, "Let's not talk about whether it's possible yet. Even if I really do have a scandal with you, it's better than being scolded so harshly by fans in the future."

"Scandals and love are two different things."

Lin Xiuyuan muttered something, picked up the menu and checked a few dishes he wanted to eat, then returned the menu to Jessica Jung.

The latter took a look, ordered a few more, and finally rang the service bell and handed the menu to the waiter who came in.

After the waiter left, Zheng Xiuyan looked at Lin Xiuyuan again, "By the way, where are you planning to open that pub you mentioned earlier?"

"The last time I went back, I saw there was a coffee shop downstairs in the complex for sale. I looked at the space and it seemed okay to me—not too big, not too small, but more than enough."

It might not be clear if it's just words. So Lin Xiuyuan took a lot of photos that day and wanted to show them to Zheng Xiuyan now.

After all, they are the investors and they have to know where the money goes.

However, Jessica Jung was too lazy to look at it and pushed his phone back. "Let's not look at the photos. Wait until you're done and then go experience it in person. But are you sure you have enough money?"

"That's enough. It's not like we're a dozen years from now, and prices are skyrocketing. I've already set aside a budget for 8,000. You gave me a small goal, so how could it not be enough?"

Lin Xiuyuan thought about how he asked Zheng Xiuyan for 80 million here, and she gave him 100 million.

I asked Krystal for 100 million yuan, and she transferred 150 million yuan to me.

These two sisters are really more generous than each other.

Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan really didn't want to continue digging into her coffers, Zheng Xiuyan shook her head with amusement. If it were some man with ulterior motives, she wouldn't have any coffers left and would probably have to borrow money.

Thinking of this, she became more concerned about Lin Xiuyuan. "You can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter how you spend it. It doesn't matter if you are extravagant. As long as he is fine, that's all that matters."

Lin Xiuyuan was delighted when he heard this. "Spend as much as you want? Even ask a woman to do it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pack of tissues was thrown at him accurately.

"Ah, are you that horny? I've already told you that you have to be alright." "It's okay even if you scream."

Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan was still stubborn, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, "Aren't you afraid of getting sick? I told you not to."

Not wanting to provoke this person anymore, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

Later, when the waiter brought the dishes, he seemed bored and suddenly found that another mobile phone from 2025 was left in the car, so he went out to get it back and play a game.

Because mobile phone systems are generally backward compatible, even if you go back more than ten years, that phone can still connect to a hotspot and play single-player games.

For example, the game Candy Crush, which was only released in August this year, has almost 8 levels after more than ten years. It is so fun.

But when he walked out of the box and passed through the hall, he saw two unexpected figures, so he stopped where he was.

After a while, he continued to walk forward, but his eyes kept glancing at Park Ji-yeon and Ham Eun-jung who were sitting over there, and he muttered in his heart: No way, is this such a coincidence?

The two girls over there obviously noticed his gaze and looked up with their eyes shining slightly.

"Unnie, that's the one."

"Well, it seems so."

Park Ji-yeon was a little moved when she heard Ham Eun-jung's answer. She looked straight at Lin Xiuyuan who opened the car door outside, "Ouni, do you think it's possible that he and Soo-jung are really together?"

Facing Park Ji-yeon's curiosity, Ham Eun-jung explained from her own perspective, "I don't understand. It feels a little off. After all, Soo-jung has just become an adult, and the group has just gotten on track. Logically, she wouldn't be dating so early."

"How about I go and ask?" Children's greatest curiosity is gossip.

But Ham Eun Jung stopped her, "Stop it, you don't even know me, you're asking me questions like that, how presumptuous. And there are questions about Krystal, what are you going to do when she comes to you?"

Just as the two of them were chatting together, Lin Xiuyuan had already taken his phone and returned to the box.

When passing by the two of them, he 'unconsciously' made eye contact with them.

So the first thing I said after returning to the private room was, "What a coincidence, Tara's Park Ji-yeon and Ham Eun-jung are eating barbecue outside."

"Huh? Really?"

Jessica Jung, who was replying to the message, suddenly looked up and was also a little surprised.

"What's so fake about this? They're right outside. It's amazing. I was discussing them with you last night, and Krystal also talked about Park Ji-yeon this morning. It's a small world."

Jessica's eyes turned slightly, and she looked at him with interest. "How about I invite them over to eat together and introduce them to you?"

"Ah? No need."

"Before you say no, could you please stop smiling?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was being ridiculed, laughed heartily and stopped Zheng Xiuyan who was about to stand up. He found a pen and a piece of paper and quickly wrote a few words before handing it to her. "No need for introductions. I suddenly want to do an experiment. How about you help me pass this paper to Park Jiyeon?"

Jessica Jung took the paper and looked down.
