Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 16 "Xiujing, leave it to her"

It’s still the same bibimbap, the same signboard, and the same alley.

Everything is still so familiar.

Under the umbrella, Krystal leaned closely against Lin Xiuyuan, standing at the door of the restaurant, her eyes full of nostalgia, her body trembling slightly with excitement.

Only Lin Xiuyuan didn't quite understand her emotions. He felt her excitement and thought it was...

"Are you too cold, or what?"

The windy and rainy weather made the temperature much lower than usual, and the damp and cold air penetrated into the bones, so Lin Xiuyuan asked this question.

His words successfully brought Krystal out of her memories. She looked at him and smiled, "I now believe you are the little boy from the past in 2013."

"Ok?"

Krystal sighed softly. "Huh~ This restaurant was our group's base after debut. We would often come here to eat whenever we had free time. But after 2016, it disappeared."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan said, "Is it being demolished?"

According to his stereotype in China, if a house is gone, it is most likely because it was demolished and the rich have become rich.

"No, they closed down. Because this place is too remote and they can't make much money, the boss and his wife went back to their hometown."

After explaining, Krystal looked at Lin Xiuyuan and smiled very gently, "Come on, go in. I'll treat you to this meal. It's really delicious. You and your sister are both Chinese. She likes to eat it, so it should suit your appetite too."

"Fortunately, I'm not picky about food."

After saying this, Lin Xiuyuan followed Krystal's footsteps and walked into the restaurant.

Because it was raining, there were no customers in the restaurant at the time, so when the two walked in, the proprietress saw them at once, recognized Krystal, and greeted her warmly.

"Oh, Krystal, didn't you just come over for lunch? Why are you here again in the evening?"

Krystal froze at the sudden greeting. She knew the other person had mistaken her for someone else, but she still responded, "I haven't eaten enough yet. Madam Boss, your food is so delicious."

This sentence seems perfunctory, but it actually reflects her true feelings.

After so many years, the taste of this store still lingers in her heart and she can't forget it for a long time.

The lady boss sitting at the counter laughed happily a few times and then said, "Sulli came over this morning and said the same thing. Thank you so much for your continued support."

——Sulli!
As soon as this name came out, Krystal next to her froze in place again, her lips tightly pursed, and if you looked closely, they were trembling slightly.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan noticed her abnormality in time, and then took a step forward to stand between her and the proprietress, blocking her view, and asked for a private room.

The proprietress was not suspicious when she heard the words. She just looked at Lin Xiuyuan with some curiosity, then led the two of them into the private room for lunch and told them to call her in and order whatever they wanted to eat.

As she went out and closed the door, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Krystal who was standing beside him in a trance. He knew that she must be in a complicated mood at this moment.

So I didn't disturb the other person. I got up and poured some water into the kettle next to me, and poured a cup for the other person.

After a long while, Krystal's voice finally rang out again. It was a little hoarse, and it was the first time she called him by his name. "Lin Xiuyuan, did you bring me back here to heal my regrets?"

"I can't do it for you. Just do whatever you want. I just want to find a financial sponsor." Lin Xiuyuan gave his own answer.

Seeing that Krystal didn't quite understand what he meant, he continued, "On your side, I have a villa and a luxury car, but in my bank account, there's only the 2000 million your sister gave me."

"So you want to get me for free?" Krystal understood.

"How could that be? You can just consider it as an entrance fee." Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Faced with this statement, Krystal frowned and looked at him, "Then if you tell me the situation like this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to some departments?"

Hearing the familiar question, Lin Xiuyuan said, "Your sister told me the same thing not long ago. As for you, do you think you can give up this time and space?" The latter sentence directly touched Krystal's heart, but she also had doubts about the first sentence.

"My sister? Unnie? Jessica?"

"No, it's Jessica Jung, the Jessica Jung over here."

Listening to Lin Xiuyuan's words, Krystal's mind quickly connected various clues. From the moment they met each other, everything quickly pieced together into an answer. "Oh, so that IOU was written to you by the unnie here, and she asked you to bring it to us in 2025, right?"

"Well, that's why I told you before, this matter can't be explained clearly, you have to come and see it yourself."

Krystal finally understood. She looked up at the box before her, which she hadn't seen in a long time and only existed in her memories. "Indeed, this ability only appears in movies and TV shows. Who can explain it clearly? I'm still a little dizzy and still find it hard to believe."

"Let's order first. I'm hungry."

Lin Xiuyuan, who didn't eat much at noon, reminded him.

Krystal nodded, called the proprietress over, and turned around to introduce the local signature dishes to Lin Xiuyuan.

But she was still the same, she wanted to taste it again to see if the taste was the same as she remembered.

Soon, two large plates of steaming hot bibimbap were brought to the two of them, along with a large number of side dishes and some snacks.

After taking the first bite and tasting the familiar flavor, Krystal looked at Lin Xiuyuan again and said, "After dinner, will you go out for a walk with me?"

"I don't mind. It's mainly you. If you get caught, you'll be in real trouble."

As he spoke, Lin Xiuyuan told her about the matter he had discussed with Zheng Xiuyan yesterday, and asked her to do the same thing in 2025. "It should be no problem. Jessica can get a new certificate anyway."

"It should be fine, but we have to wait for Unnie to come back. She's busy overseas right now."

Krystal nodded while eating.

"That's fine, just don't let Jessica go there for now."

"Why do you keep calling Ernie's name in different ways?"

After hearing this strange behavior many times, Krystal finally couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xiuyuan laughed and said, "To distinguish them, two identical people should be called differently. What about you? Do you want the name Krystal or Zheng Xiujing?"

Krystal understood Lin Xiuyuan's idea and did not reply to him immediately.

Because some memory images began to emerge in her mind, that was the name called by a delicate figure.

……

"Xiu-jung."

"This is my little Crystal, hehe."

"Xiujing, I'm hungry."

"Hey, Krystal, you stole my food."

……

Finally, the picture faded to black and white.

Then a self-deprecating sigh escaped Krystal's lips. "Haha, forget it. Just call me Krystal. Xiujing, leave it to her over here."
