Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 13 "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner back there"

【Old Time and Space】

Krystal, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the bedside phone.

She squinted her eyes drowsily at the caller ID, then picked up the phone and answered it. Her voice still carried the laziness of someone who had just woken up.

"Hey, unnie~"

"Xiujing, you haven't gotten up yet?"

There was an extremely contagious laugh coming from the other end of the phone, as if it could make people feel better even through the microphone.

Krystal smiled and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Yeah, not yet, what's wrong, unnie~"

"Why don't you come down and have lunch with me? Shirley and I are near your apartment."

"Huh? Don't you have an event?"

Krystal sat up suddenly, her tone full of curiosity.

"Listen, it's raining, so in order to accommodate fans, the show has been postponed to the afternoon."

At Victoria's reminder, Krystal finally noticed the sound of the rain outside the window, which was not loud but long.

At this time, another cheerful voice came from the phone, "Xiujing, come down quickly, we are waiting for you."

The two people's calls made Krystal smile even brighter.

"Yes, right away."

Knowing someone was waiting for her, Krystal prepared herself extra quickly. After washing up, she quickly applied some skincare toner, put on her glasses and hat, and headed out.

Then she looked at the restaurant address Victoria left for her, went downstairs through the back door, walked through an alley, and arrived at the door of the stone pot bibimbap restaurant.

This restaurant is a frequent gathering place for the members of their group. Although it specializes in bibimbap, they also do quite well in barbecue and tteokbokki. It's located in a remote area and isn't very popular, but the food is delicious and it has many repeat customers.

For example, Krystal who came in at this time, and Victoria and Shirley who had been waiting in the box inside, are considered regular customers here.

After coming in, Krystal greeted the proprietress familiarly, then walked from the corridor to the door of the box, turned the lock and pushed it open.

When the person inside heard the lock sound, he immediately cast his gaze towards the door, and smiled happily when he saw it was Krystal.

"Come on, come in."

"Xiujing, I envy you so much. I also want to sleep until now."

The two people talking were Victoria, who was wearing a light and elegant spring outfit, a beige draped trench coat, a light blue shirt and high-waisted beige trousers. The overall tone was soft and clean.

One is the smart and sweet Peach Shirley, a floral chiffon dress with cherry pink and lavender as the main colors, fresh and full of girlishness.

Krystal, who walked in, was in a hurry to go out, so she simply put on a loose gray-blue hooded sweatshirt and a khaki baseball cap on her head, but she also had a kind of unpretentious relaxation and freedom.

After entering the private room, she glanced at Shirley with amusement, "You make it sound like you didn't sleep enough to wake up naturally yesterday. When I returned to the dormitory, you were still sound asleep."

Shirley leaned on Victoria's shoulder and acted coquettishly, humming softly, "Then I want it today too."

Victoria smiled and patted her hands. "Okay, I remember you'll be able to rest in a few days. Then you can slowly get enough sleep."

"Huh huh huh~"

"Haha, Xiujing, take a look at what to eat and order. Sulli and I have already ordered some in advance."

"Okay, unnie~"

……

……

"Okay, unnie~ I know, it'll be fine. I'll just go out for a walk and be back soon."

【New Time and Space】

In the evening, Krystal finally finished her work and although she had agreed to go out with Lin Xiuyuan, her good sense of security made her explain the situation to Jessica before leaving.

If something really happens, it would be good to have a direction for investigation.

Then Jessica on the other end of the phone started talking about her, describing Lin Xiuyuan as a monster and asking her not to be stupid.

But Krystal today is no longer the little Crystal who appeared on variety shows with her back then.

She is in her early thirties, independent, mature, and has her own judgment and bottom line.

So she just smiled and said a few perfunctory words before hanging up the phone, her eyes falling on Lin Xiuyuan who was not far away.

At this moment, he was sitting at the door of the RV, under the tent, with a relaxed expression.

So she walked over and shouted, "Let's go, we can set off now."

"Wouldn't you like to cover it up a bit?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Xiuyuan gestured with his hand.

Because at this time Krystal was still wearing the clothes of the character in the play. The neatly tailored all-black suit made her slender yet well-proportioned figure look sharp and exquisite, and her posture was straight and picturesque.

The silk low-necked vest slightly reveals the collarbone line, and the subtle sexiness is hidden behind the cold aura.

She raised an eyebrow at him and asked, "Are we going to a crowded place?"

Lin Xiuyuan thought about it and shook his head.

"That's fine, anyway, go back quickly and have some rest early. You still have work to do tomorrow."

Krystal spoke again, actually hinting to Lin Xiuyuan not to think too much.

Lin Xiuyuan understood what he meant and without saying much, he took her to the black Mercedes-Benz GLS.

When Krystal saw the brand of the SUV, she burst out laughing. "Wow, Mr. Lin, is this what you call down and out? Honestly, you really tricked us the other day."

Lin Xiuyuan unlocked the car door, stood in front of the driver's seat, raised his eyebrows, and shrugged helplessly, "I won't explain too much about what happened that day. Anyway, you will know everything in a while."

"This again, Mr. Lin, do you know which character in the DC universe I dislike the most?"

As she spoke, she sat in the passenger seat, and a faint fragrance lingered in the car.

Lin Xiuyuan gripped the steering wheel, lost in thought for a moment before smiling, "I know, the Riddler."

After discovering that the other party could pick up on her joke, Krystal's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth raised, "Yes, that's right."

At the same time, the vehicle started and drove from the studio in Yeouido towards the villa in Gangnam District.

Along the way, the two people in the car didn't chat much.

Krystal leaned slightly against the car door, keeping a subtle distance from Lin Xiuyuan.

Not too far, not too close, neither too intimate nor too distant.

It wasn't until she saw a restaurant she liked outside the window that she turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan and asked, "How about we have dinner first? Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was concentrating on driving, glanced at her and replied softly, "Fortunately, I have already made a dinner appointment for tonight. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

After hearing the answer, Krystal pursed her lips and instinctively thought that this "rich man's son" was going to take her out for a candlelight dinner or something.

But when she followed Lin Xiuyuan into the stylishly and luxuriously decorated villa, but found the house and living room empty, she realized she was wrong.

So he turned his head and looked at the other person, "Didn't you say to have dinner first?"

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan had already stood in front of the door with a brass lock. He reached out and gently pulled the door open.

Smiling at Krystal who was speaking, he said, "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner back home."
