Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 49 "Peaches, they really are a perfect match for me~" (Please read on!)

Back in the afternoon.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was busy behind the bar, suddenly heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Park Jiyeon with a big smile on her face.

"Oppa, let me help you."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and casually replied, "Then just take whatever you want to eat from the freezer, heat it up and you can eat it."

Faced with Lin Xiuyuan's statement, Park Jiyeon couldn't help but laugh and walked behind the bar, "Oppa~ So all the food in the bar is pre-made and then heated up in the microwave?"

"Pretty much, some are boiled or mixed. But I'm too lazy to make anything. Just eat whatever you like. We're here to drink, not to eat, right?"

As he said this, Lin Xiuyuan pointed towards the door and said, "If you really want to eat something, just tell me and I'll go out and buy it for you. There's a food stall right next door, it's very close and quick."

He spoke without any hesitation and in a loud voice, so Park Hyomin and Sulli on the other side of the sofa could hear him clearly.

Shirley paused slightly, while Park Hyomin burst out laughing. "Mr. Lin, shouldn't you be saying this behind our backs? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say it to our faces?"

In response to Park Hyo-min's shouts, Lin Xiuyuan replied with a smile, "Oh, this? It's alright, these are all qualified products, I've tasted them myself, so don't worry. Also, you don't need to call me boss, just call me by my name."

After Park Hyomin and Lin Xiuyuan exchanged a few pleasantries, Sulli, who was sitting next to her, gently nudged her arm and asked with a hint of doubt, "Unnie, is this guy really the owner of this bar? He's so young, is he some kind of rich kid?"

"I don't think so. I don't really know. She's Zhiyan's friend, I think she's from China."

Park Hyomin knew far less about Lin Xiuyuan than Park Jiyeon did. "However, this bar is members-only, and non-members are not allowed to enter. Right now, only Jiyeon and Jessica are members."

"Then we..." This statement left Shirley momentarily stunned.

“Ji-yeon can bring people in, and he told me yesterday that he wanted to get to know you, which is why I contacted you. But now it seems a bit strange; he doesn’t seem to want to pay any attention to you at all.”

At this point, Park Hyomin glanced at Lin Xiuyuan again, thinking that he was perhaps a little embarrassed to face his idol.

As it turned out, Lin Xiuyuan, who was behind the bar, was chatting enthusiastically with Park Jiyeon, laughing non-stop.

Seeing this scene as well, Shirley couldn't help but laugh. "It is indeed a bit strange. If you didn't know better, you would think that he likes Jiyeon instead of me."

After a while, Lin Xiuyuan brought over two drinks and a fruit platter and placed them in front of them.

Looking at the fruit platter, Park Hyomin subconsciously glanced at the other person.

Lin Xiuyuan immediately understood and then laughed, "When you open the door, buy the frozen fruit in advance at the fruit shop around the corner. I don't have such good knife skills."

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you have quite a lot of pre-made dishes here."

"It's alright, the most important thing is that the wine isn't pre-made."

Park Hyo-min agreed with Lin Xiuyuan's point, saying, "Indeed, as long as it's not prefabricated, it's fine."

After saying that, she looked at Shirley again, "Try a couple of sips. The drinks that Boss Lin makes are much better than those from other places, both in terms of taste and texture."

Upon hearing her words, Shirley also picked up her cup and took a sniff; a refreshing aroma of tea wafted into her nostrils.

Take a sip, and the aroma of tea and the flavor of pine nuts intertwine in your mouth. It tastes slightly bitter at first, but it is quickly neutralized by the sweetness of peach, and the lingering sweetness of peach is unforgettable.

The taste was indeed a pleasant surprise for Sherry, who had been drinking quite a bit of alcohol recently, and she looked up at Lin Xiuyuan.

Park Hyomin chimed in from the side, "Isn't it pretty good?"

“Yes, it tastes much better than the ones outside.” Shirley wasn’t lying.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan smiled slowly under Park Hyomin's incredulous gaze and said, "Then, Shirley, why don't you get a membership here? You can come and sit down anytime you want to drink."

"Huh?" Shirley was a little stunned, not expecting to be invited.

Although she had a good first impression of Lin Xiuyuan, she wasn't exactly close to him, so she hesitated for a moment.

But Park Hyomin couldn't stand it anymore and started yelling, "Wow, Mr. Lim, you're so biased! Is this what you call 'pleasing to the eye'? Yesterday, Eunjung, Yoona, and I were all here, and you didn't mention the membership once, but today Sulli just arrived and you've already invited her?"

Sulli, who was initially hesitant, immediately brightened up when she heard Park Hyomin say that she, Im Yoon-ah, and Ham Eun-jung had not been invited by Lin Xiuyuan.

The woman's self-esteem and pride were completely ignited by this sentence.

He chuckled softly, "It's my honor."

As Park Hyomin watched Sulli follow Lin Xiuyuan to input her fingerprints and iris scans, she angrily complained to Park Jiyeon, who was bringing over snacks.

Park Jiyeon couldn't stop laughing at her rambling, and then looked at the two people over there.

She understood perfectly why Lin Xiuyuan had invited Shirley, and was even more delighted that Lin Xiuyuan was in this timeline, giving her the opportunity to avoid so many regrets in advance.

Just then, she heard Shirley ask Lin Xiuyuan, "Mr. Lin, what was the name of the drink I just had?"

name?

Why does everyone seem to like asking about the name of the cocktail?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her, "White Peach Oolong Gin & Tonic."

Shirley chuckled softly after getting the answer, "Peach, huh? Haha, she really is a perfect match for me."

……

……

early morning.

Krystal was stunned for a long time before she slowly came to her senses after learning that Sulli had been there that afternoon.

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan had already prepared a 'White Peach Oolong Gin and Tonic' for her and brought it to her. "Here, this is the drink I made for Sherry this afternoon. Want to try it?"

Jessica Jung, who had been holding Krystal's hand the whole time, went straight to the point with Lin Xiuyuan and asked, "Lin Xiuyuan, did you register Sulli as a member?"

"Yes, it's only a matter of time, and I think it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

Lin Xiuyuan, without denying it, glanced at Krystal and said seriously, "If Krystal is ready, I plan to take her there for a stroll in a few days. Because recently I've seen some comments at night saying that this 'human peach' seems to be the one who's encountered those scumbags recently."

That's why Lin Xiuyuan decided to speed up the arrangements and have Park Jiyeon introduce him to Sulli.

Hearing Lin Xiuyuan say that, Krystal finally unearthed a long-buried memory from over a decade ago. She quickly opened her eyes wide and looked at Jessica Jung with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Unnie, when you get back, could you warn Kim Hyoyeon in your team? Sulli doesn't want to go to the dinner party, so don't force her. She wants to build connections herself, why use other people as stepping stones for her?"

After hearing Krystal abandon honorifics and address Kim Hyoyeon by her first name,

Jessica Jung was taken aback, her brows furrowing. "You mean Hyoyeon is involved in Sulli's matter?"

"Perhaps there is no direct connection, but there is an indirect connection. Even if she were beheaded, she couldn't escape."
