Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 56 Lim Yoon-a: "Turn around up ahead"

As the guests left, the once bustling tavern was now empty except for Lin Xiuyuan and Krystal, who were sitting on the sofa chatting.

"Little Jiyeon is really bold and decisive. Let alone that certificate, those autographed photos alone are enough to make Jiyeon here look at you differently. Add that certificate on top of the first impression, and you've hit the jackpot in one step."

At this point, Krystal gave Lin Xiuyuan a meaningful look. "Well, now look at her. She kept turning back to look at you as she left. Tsk tsk, Lin Xiuyuan, you don't actually like married women, do you? That's so perverted!"

A deep impression + overflowing curiosity = a perfect start.

"appreciate."

After squeezing out those two words, Lin Xiuyuan leaned back on the sofa and stretched. "Besides, I told her there was no need to do this, that we could just let things take their course, but Zhiyan said we should plan ahead first. But judging from her aggressive demeanor, I suspect she's more interested in venting her frustrations in my name."

Krystal laughed again when she thought of that line of text, "Just like Eunjung unnie said, just like her personality. Young and hot-blooded, can't stand the slightest thing."

Faced with Krystal's statement, Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat puzzled. "You're young and hot-blooded, aren't you? How did you put up with Kim Hyoyeon, who was scolded by your sister? She's the kind of woman who dares to abuse men."

"It's different. If it were just a case of bullying and oppressing the weak, she would definitely dare to fight back. But since she has a legitimate reason to retaliate, she still dares to fight back. The rules will truly teach her a lesson. In that case, it might not be her who leaves the group early, but her."

Krystal, who had long understood the rules of the game on the Korean Peninsula, sneered, "Besides, daring is one thing, doing is another. Super Junior's seniors are rebellious enough, but with Heechul oppa standing there, who would dare to lay a hand on them?"

"I don't understand, and I'm too lazy to understand."

Lin Xiuyuan sighed and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, what about what I told you before? What have you thought about?"

"what's up?"

"About Shirley."

The moment that name was mentioned, Krystal's expression became subtle.

After a moment, she sighed softly, "I don't know. When I first learned that I could go back in time and see her again, I was very excited and happy."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her, "Isn't it different now?"

"I'm a little timid now."

Krystal did not deny her state of mind, saying, "I have a feeling of not daring to see her. So many years have passed, and when we think back on what happened back then, we all feel more or less guilty towards her."

However, Lin Xiuyuan's response after listening to her words was exceptionally clear.

"We are all adults and should be responsible for our own lives. There is no question of mistreatment or guilt."

"That's true, but there's a bit of guilt in it. If the person were still alive, that little bit of guilt would pass quickly, but..."

Krystal wasn't in the mood to say anything more, but Lin Xiuyuan understood what she meant.

Ultimately, it boils down to this: you didn't do something well enough at the time, and the more you think about it, the more regretful you become. You can't find a way to make amends, so your emotions get out of control.

However, Lin Xiuyuan could not truly empathize with these emotions; he could only listen and then speak.

“Then I won’t wait for you. Although your sister can protect her for a while, what if she’s out of her mind and jumps into trouble again? I still think it’s better to do it sooner rather than later. Some things can only be truly changed if she faces them herself.”

After listening to Lin Xiuyuan's words, Krystal remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"Maybe you're right, then let's do it your way."

Lin Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Actually, it's not that fast. She seems to be very busy lately. When I try to chat with her, she only replies with a single sentence."

Krystal burst out laughing: "She probably thinks you're going to pursue her."

After saying that, he thought about it seriously for a moment, "No, it seems like it was about preparing for a comeback. Recording, choreography, schedules, that year was indeed very busy, everyone was extremely busy at the time."

In response to this explanation, Lin Xiuyuan stood up and yawned.

"Never mind her for now, let's go and get your fingerprints and iris scans taken. Don't bring so many people next time, they all eat and then run away, and no one helps me clean up."

"Okay, okay, I'll hire a few hourly cleaning ladies to come and clean for you, alright?"

"Thank you, boss, you're very generous." "What are you saving that money for?"

"I'm a hamster enthusiast, thank you."

the other side.

Ham Eun-jung, who hitched a ride to the bar with Krystal today, naturally got a ride back with Park Ji-yeon, saving her time and effort.

And we can also chat about the big gossip from our experiences.

It's safe to say that today was the most exciting day Ham Eun-jung had ever had in a long time.

"Ji-yeon, you really don't remember who that little boy was?"

"I remember someone offering me a certificate like this at a signing event, but I ignored it, and the staff told me to leave. I think you guys had something similar, right?"

Park Jiyeon, gripping the steering wheel, was still trying to recall the past, but her activities in China were actually more numerous and varied than in Seoul, so she couldn't remember how she met Lin Xiuyuan.

When asked the question, Ham Eun-jung tossed her hair, letting the ends fall to her chest. "I can remember what you're talking about, but I really don't know anything about Lin Xiuyuan. You seemed quite friendly with her when you gave her the autographed photo. You really don't remember him at all?"

"I really don't remember."

"This is really a bit strange."

Seeing Park Jiyeon's troubled expression, Ham Eunjung pondered for a moment, "Why don't we ask the others and see if they remember us?"

"Qri Unnie"

When it comes to other people that can be mentioned right now, the first person Park Jiyeon can think of is Lee Qri.

"Yes, you can ask Hyomin too."

As soon as Ham Eun-jung finished saying the name, Park Ji-yeon laughed, "Hyomin unnie isn't in Seoul, is she on her honeymoon?"

"I'm just asking, she doesn't need to come over. Besides, I took a picture, let's see if they recognize her."

Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon almost slammed on the brakes. Luckily, there were no cars in front, and she swerved slightly before continuing to drive forward. "What? Unnie, when did you take a picture with him? Before I arrived?"

"No, I didn't take a photo with him."

"Then how do you have their photos?"

Park Jiyeon was even more confused now.

Ham Eun-jung gave a sly smile. "It was taken secretly."

Before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

Having returned to Seoul from China some time ago, Yoona was unexpectedly invited by a brand from China to open a branch in Seoul. She was busy from morning until the early hours of the morning before finally finishing her work and returning to her apartment.

Although she looked a little tired, she was still talking quietly with her assistant who was driving.

As the car drove along an unfamiliar street, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure turning into a tavern.

The familiar face of that person made her turn around abruptly, her neck stiffening, her gaze fixed on the receding figure.

A moment later, he patted his assistant's arm and said, "Turn around up ahead."

A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tavern called "Relief".

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lim Yoona frowned and stared at the store for a long time.

Finally, he slowly rolled up the car window and said, "Let's go, it's alright now."
