Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 76 "Ji-yeon, are you thirsty?" (Third update, please vote)

……

Earlier in 2013, in the bar, when Sulli was taking Yoona to get her car, Lin Xiuyuan was chatting with Park Jiyeon, who had just woken up.

Suddenly, the little dragon cub over there said, "Oppa, do you know where my most sensitive spot is?"

"what?"

"Hehe, I'll tell you."

Lin Xiuyuan asked in shock, "Jiyan, you're getting more and more ruthless to yourself. You're too cruel."

The little dragon's answer was even more audacious: "That's an old woman, not me."

"9!"

That's incredible, this little dragon cub!

……

Let's go back to the tavern in 2025.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the little dragon cub who had just stepped through the door, and his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Krystal.

But this time it really wasn't her fault.

Krystal was having a nice meal with Yoona, and although they were talking about Lin Xiuyuan, she didn't need to come over to find him.

Midway through, Da Longzai suddenly sent her a message, roughly asking Krystal if she had Lin Xiuyuan's contact information.

Did you think that the last time Da Longzai brought Park Hyomin and others to knock on the door was because he didn't want to make a phone call?

That's because she didn't exchange contact information with Lin Xiuyuan.

With two unnies present, how could Daeyong-zai possibly speak up?

I still have to save face.

It wasn't until today, looking out the window at the heavy rain that had lasted for two days, that I felt a bit bored staying at home alone, and that's when I decided to go out for a walk.

I was already tired of other places, but the little bar that my 'true fan' had just opened was quite interesting, so I went to find Krystal.

When Krystal saw the message, she was a little surprised, so she jokingly 'bragged' to Yoona, "It seems that besides you, Lin Xiuyuan has someone else on his mind."

"Ok?"

Im Yoona was taken aback, so she leaned over to take a look at the message.

Then Krystal laughed and said to Da Longzai, "Why don't we get together at the bar? I'll call Lin Xiuyuan out to open the shop."

And just like that, Lin Xiuyuan, who had just come from 2013, was 'sold out' by Krystal in the blink of an eye.

However, he wouldn't agree to "sell" it to Lin Dajun, but if it were to be "sold" to Dalongzai, then Lin Xiuyuan would definitely have something to say.

Not to mention the baby dragon today, who is in even better shape than before.

She was wearing a black flared-sleeve shirt with a slightly open neckline; the fabric was soft yet structured.

The fabric is perfectly tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, highlighting a slender waist and long, beautiful legs.

Those long legs were exposed to the air, and even under the dim yellow light, they were still dazzlingly white. As they walked, their knees bent and straightened, and the smooth lines carried an unpretentious tension.

Then, carrying a faint fragrance and an understated yet inexplicably tense aura, she approached Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yun'er.

She laughed lightly, "Unnie, what are you guys talking about? You're laughing so happily. Do you mind if I join in?"

Lim Yoona smiled, then moved aside to give her some space. "Long time no see, Jiyeon. Let's go. I came here to ask him how to become a member."

"Huh?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at her with some surprise.

This isn't the problem he expected. Wasn't Lin Dajun here to consult about 'Jessica Jung'?
No, she's trying to infiltrate the organization and investigate the case herself.

Asking questions is unreliable; this woman only believes what she sees.

After figuring things out, Lin Xiuyuan wasn't as panicked as before. After all, he controlled the number of people who could join the sect. If he didn't agree or say anything, no one could change his mind.

Upon hearing Yoona's words, Da Longzai turned his gaze to his 'true fan', "Xiuyuanxi, I'd also like to know the answer to this question. Aren't you my fan? How come even I can't get in, but Xiujing did?"

"Didn't we discuss this before? Um, Jiyeon, would you like something to drink? I'll go get it for you."

Taking advantage of the arrival of the big dragon cub, Lin Xiuyuan quickly made an excuse to distance himself from Lin Dajun. This woman was much more difficult to deal with than Lin Xiaolu from 2013.

Indeed, that was the case. After Lin Xiuyuan asked the question, Da Longzai smiled and ordered a drink.

Im Yoona chimed in from the side, "Jiyeon, do you know there's a saying on his internet: 'If a younger woman doesn't call you 'older sister,' she's got a wild side.'"

Upon hearing this, not only Da Longzai, but even Krystal, who had come over and sat down, smiled and looked at Lin Xiuyuan at the bar.

Three people, though older, still possess stunning good looks, even more so than before, all staring directly at one man. I doubt many could resist such a sight.

Lin Xiuyuan, who also heard this, felt a little guilty, because he had indeed had some outrageous thoughts.

There's no way around it; when faced with such an opportunity and situation, which man wouldn't be tempted?

Not to mention that Lin Xiuyuan is a young man in his early twenties, full of youthful vigor.

But since he was being stared at, and he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard, he had no choice but to look up at the several beautiful women on the sofa, each with their own unique charm.

"It's not that I don't want to call you that, it's just that calling you 'Nuna' here doesn't quite come across to me. If you really want to hear it, then I'll just call you 'sister'."

Sister is long, sister is short, sister smells sweet, sister is close, isn't this better than that "Nuna"?

Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, Krystal laughed and said, "Forget it, if you really want to call me that, I'm worried you'll have even more ideas. Just call me by my name."

This seemingly joking remark was actually meant to help him out of a difficult situation.

"Haha, it's okay, you can call me by my name, it makes me sound younger." Da Longzai laughed along, easing his embarrassment.

Seeing that the two of them were like this, Lim Yoona became even more curious. What was so good about that young man in front of her?

However, as soon as Lin Xiuyuan brought the juice to him, Da Longzai gradually realized that something was wrong.

Although she was chatting with Yoona and Krystal, the 'die-hard fan' next to her remained completely silent.

But why does that look in my eyes make me... feel hot all over?

Especially his burning gaze, which had barely left her jawline since he sat down, traveling down her throat to the elegant curve of her collarbone.

Like a scalding electric current, it traveled along her skin. She subconsciously swallowed, feeling her throat dry. The glass of juice that had just been served was already empty in just a few minutes.

My body started to feel hot, as if tiny insects were crawling under my skin, making me restless.

Im Yoona suddenly noticed her odd behavior and looked at her with surprise. "Jiyeon, are you very thirsty?"

"Kind of."

She responded softly, her voice slightly hoarse.

He then swallowed, as if that would alleviate the burning sensation of being stared at.

Her little hand involuntarily rose up and touched her Adam's apple, trying to use this gesture to block someone's gaze.

This action made Lin Xiuyuan, who was standing to the side, cry out for help.

……

“Oppa, my sensitive spot is in the throat area, specifically the small section of the neck from the Adam's apple to the collarbone.”

"Oh, then this is useless."

"No, oppa, I'm very sensitive to that area, and I'm not used to staring at it for too long, so..."

"You get a feeling just by staring at me? Jiyeon, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, oppa~ I was talking about an old woman."

"It's hard to imagine, it's a bit outrageous. Besides, if you look at it for too long, your gaze will become lewd and disgusting."

"It's not the kind of disgusting feeling that comes from staring; it's a different kind of feeling."

"Ha~"

"Anyway, you'll know once you try it. If she touches it with her hand, then it means I'm right."

"Ok."

"Okay, oppa~ Fighting! Consider this the interest on my membership fee that I owe you, and I'll pay you back slowly."

……

Oh my god, the sensitive spot that Jiyeon mentioned is actually true!

Lin Xiuyuan initially thought Park Jiyeon was joking with him. After all, when it comes to sensitive spots, kissing and cuddling to get some effect is one thing, since there is physical contact involved.

But to feel something simply from sight is a bit of a fantasy.

I can't believe it, it's actually true.

As Lin Xiuyuan was lost in thought, Krystal suddenly called out, "Lin Xiuyuan, what are you doing? What are you spacing out for?"

Lin Xiuyuan was taken aback when he was brought back to reality. After regaining his composure, he looked at the people opposite him and asked, "Ah, what's wrong?"

“We said, why are you staring at Jiyeon like that? Can’t you see she’s not used to it? Even if you’re a fan, you can’t do that.”

As she said this, Krystal felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards Lin Xiuyuan. She had just given him a harsh lesson last night, yet he was still able to be so easily seduced by someone else today.

Okay, okay, young people are just like that, falling in love with every girl they see, huh?

Just as she finished thinking about it, Lin Xiuyuan apologized to the little dragon, "Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night and I was distracted."

Ok?
Krystal's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared intently at him.

Last night? You mean you "didn't sleep well" anywhere last night, right?

Lin Xiuyuan, who had been glared at, realized that he had probably given the wrong reason, so he gave a dry laugh and remained silent.

“It’s nothing,” Da Longzai smiled. “By the way, Xiu Yuanxi, let’s add each other’s contact information or become friends.”

After accepting the apology, the little dragon felt much more relaxed as he was no longer bothered by that burning gaze.

Then he said, "Since I can't get into your little bar as a member, I can sneak over for a couple of drinks and a rest when no one's around, no problem, right?"

"Of course, um, would you like to add me on Kakao?"

"Ah."

And so, Lin Xiuyuan and Dalongzai added each other as friends, oblivious to everyone else, leaving Lin Yun'er stunned and turning her gaze to Krystal.

In her opinion, this little puppy should be Krystal's exclusive possession, so why isn't she reacting?

Since that's the case, then she'll add fuel to the fire.

Then she took out her phone, opened the app, and looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a grin, "Xiuyuan-xi, can I join too?"

"Of course, it would be my pleasure."

Anyway, I'll just add you; whether we chat or not is another matter.

He usually watches videos and chats with Krystal and Yoo Ji-min on TikTok, and rarely uses Kakao unless it's for video calls or file transfers.

So when Krystal saw that Lin Xiuyuan and the others had added each other as friends, she asked, "Is today's business settled? Let's go out for dinner."

"Where should we eat? It's raining so hard."

Yoona glanced at the still drizzling rain outside the window and asked.

Da Longzai chimed in, "Xiujing, do you have any recommendations?"

"no."

Upon hearing this answer, the two—no, the three—suddenly exchanged glances.

then.

"That……"

"Let's order takeout." *3
The three of them burst into laughter in unison, and just as they were about to get up, they sat back down.

While Yoona and Jiyeon were looking for a shop, Krystal walked over to the gramophone and played a piece of melodious light music.

In the tavern, laughter and music mingled, and the atmosphere quietly warmed up at that moment.

　Are you thirsty?
