Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 57 "Ding-dong~" The doorbell rang!
Let's rewind to a short time ago.

In 2025, a door next to the living room of a villa was opened, and the sounds inside entered this space-time before the person did.

"I'm saying, are you two sisters a little crazy? One wants to go back to 2013 to drink, and the other wants to come to 2025 to drink. What's wrong with you? Does the taste of alcohol from the past and the future suddenly become much better, or what?"

"Enough with the fuss, we've already paid."

"An additional fee will be charged for each door opening. Thank you, boss. How can I pay?"

As Lin Xiuyuan walked out, he glanced back at Zheng Xiuyan behind him, his face beaming with undisguised joy, as if he were about to make a million dollars.

"I have no money, and I won't even give you my life."

Jessica Jung, who followed closely behind, retorted irritably, while rolling her eyes as a greeting gift to this unreliable "gatekeeper."

After saying that, he handed over the suitcase he was pulling, saying, "Here you go, pack your things yourself."

"what?"

Lin Xiuyuan thought it was her personal belongings that she had brought to stay the night, but he didn't expect it to be for him.

Jessica Jung replied simply, "Some clothes and watches."

"mine?"

Then he saw Lin Xiuyuan's slightly embarrassed expression. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Lin Xiuyuan, holding his suitcase, shook his head. "That's definitely not it. Let's leave it here for now. Didn't you want to check out the taverns around here? Why don't we head out first?"

He should keep the things Krystal gave him a secret for now, otherwise he felt things might get a little bad.

But in Jessica Jung's eyes, his clumsy ability to change the subject was definitely problematic.

So what are you hiding?
You can't hide it from me.

A few minutes later.

Standing in the master bedroom walk-in closet on the third floor, Jessica Jung glanced at the situation inside, paused for a moment, and then turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan.

With 90% certainty and 10% doubt, a name was thrown out: "Soojung?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan nod, she turned and went downstairs without saying a single extra word.

Soon after, Lin Xiuyuan, who had caught up with Jessica Jung, said, "Um, the walk-in closet in my apartment is still empty."

Jessica Jung paused, then turned back a few seconds later to look at his smug face, and chuckled, "Hey, why don't you go buy some clothes when you have time? Why are you telling me this?"

"Okay, let's go tomorrow, let's go tomorrow. Right now, shall we go to the tavern?"

"let's go."

……

As mentioned before, this villa is only about a hundred meters away from the tavern, and it's just a straight alleyway away.

So when Jessica Jung stood at the alley entrance and looked back at the villa, she thought of the situation there in 2013 and couldn't help but complain, "You're so lazy that you can't even walk a few more steps and just drive it right in front of your house."

"That's only one reason. Another reason is that there are always few people in the community, so they can better cover for you."

Lin Xiuyuan, standing about ten meters away at the tavern entrance, said as he opened the door, "Come in, don't just stand there like an idiot."

Jessica Jung glanced at him and said, "Oh, you're here."

She responded and walked quickly over. Just as she reached the entrance of the tavern, a black van sped past from the side of the road.

Not noticing anything amiss, Jessica Jung walked into the bar and, looking at the decor and layout that were almost identical to her own place, grumbled again, "You're really lazy to the extreme, Lin Xiuyuan. How did you manage to find two stores that are almost the same size and have similar layouts?"

"It's luck, I guess. What would you like to drink?" "I don't need you to serve me anything, just pour me some whiskey, on the rocks."

Lin Xiuyuan was happy to have some free time. He walked over to the bar to pour drinks and didn't forget to make a conversation, "By the way, you didn't just come here to drink, did you?"

"Well, there's something else I'd like you to help me with."

Lin Xiuyuan handed over the wine and asked curiously, "What's up?"

"I've been thinking lately that in the future, I might break ties with my company because of issues with a fashion brand. So, what if I find someone to collaborate with and provide them with some of my future design sketches? Would that work out?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan looked up at her and asked, "Still can't let go of this? Do you want to make money, or do you want fame?"

"Both. Before, I wanted to make money, but now that I've learned about this place, I also want to leave my mark."

Jessica Jung spoke frankly, "When I was a trainee, all I wanted was to debut. Now that I've become an idol, I want to establish myself in the fashion industry and gain some status."

Lin Xiuyuan gave the woman a deep look and shook his head. "Then you shouldn't ask me. You should consult Krystal. I don't understand your circles."

After saying that, he turned around to pour himself a glass of water, but his gaze happened to catch a glimpse of the surveillance camera screen, where the woman's figure appeared in the corner of the screen. He was so startled that he almost threw the glass away.

Then, just as Jessica was about to say something, she quickly rushed over and covered Jessica's mouth with her hand, saying, "Holy crap, don't talk, be quiet, be quiet."

Jessica Jung, whose neck was being hugged and mouth covered, felt uncomfortable with her chest pressed against the bar counter, so she subconsciously pushed him a few times, but couldn't move him at all.

The words she heard made her frown, and she followed the other person's gaze to the monitor screen placed at the far end of the bar.

The next second, she was also stunned.

It was because one of the surveillance camera's shots showed a woman leaning against a car window, a few stray hairs framing her face, quietly gazing towards the pub.
Her medium-length straight hair was slightly wavy, and her makeup was light but more composed than it had been ten years ago.

"Why is she here?"

Lin Xiuyuan, staring at the screen, frowned and muttered to himself as he looked away from the screen and towards the doorway.

I was afraid that person would knock on the door and come in at any moment.

We've all forgotten about the threshold of the door lock.

Fortunately, the car outside slowly drove away and disappeared into the night streets after a short while.

As the car disappeared from view, Jessica Jung quickly pushed Lin Xiuyuan away and began rubbing her chest with both hands, disregarding her image. "Hey, couldn't you have just told me? You had to do it yourself, didn't you?"

He glanced at Lin Xiuyuan across from him, apologized first, and then coughed, "The situation is urgent, so we're treating it specially."

hiss~
After massaging for a while, Jessica Jung asked, "Did you get in touch with Yoona here?"

"No, that's why I'm so surprised. How did she know I was here? Oh, Jessica Jung, could it be that she saw you outside just now?"

Faced with Lin Xiuyuan's question, Zheng Xiuyan frowned and thought for a moment, "Impossible, it was less than two minutes, and there was no one on the roadside just now, only a few cars passed by."

"You should wear a mask next time, I'm starting to panic."

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at his sweaty palms. If he had just passed by and seen her, it would be easy to explain. It was just that they looked alike, and there was no problem at all.

What I fear most is a sudden face-to-face confrontation; if that happens, I'll really be sliced ​​into pieces.

Jessica Jung also thought of this, so she nodded and said, "I understand, I'll be more careful next time."

A few minutes later.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rings!

　No, I'm asking for monthly votes!
