Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 24 "You're like this again, you're always like this~"

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, pouring into this elegant French afternoon tea restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The warm yellow light fell on the white tablecloth and exquisite porcelain, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of black tea and the sweetness of strawberry mille-feuille.

In a corner of the restaurant, a woman wearing sunglasses and delicate makeup had already taken a seat. She was wearing a champagne-colored trench coat, her hair neatly draped over her shoulders, and she exuded a cool aura.

At this moment, the wind chimes at the door rang and Krystal pushed the door open and walked in.

She is dressed casually today, wearing a loose sweater with jeans and her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking fresh and natural.

After entering the room, she quickly saw Jessica's position. With a smile on her face, she turned around and called out to Lin Xiuyuan behind her, "Hurry up, and stop looking so cold."

Lin Xiuyuan followed and whispered, "Do you need me to fight back with a smile?"

"Don't fight back, just coax her a little, so I don't have to be nagged by her every day in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but glance at her and laughed, "That's not what you said before you came."

To this, Krystal replied without any psychological burden, "I lied to you."

hiss~
Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath and realized that the Krystal in front of him was several levels higher than Jessica Jung in 2013.

Time is a really amazing thing.

Just as the two were about to reach Jessica, Krystal finally said, "I'll give you a gift when I get back to make up for it. It's okay for you to help me, right? It's an equal exchange."

Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, "Deal."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them came in front of Jessica.

Krystal greeted him naturally as always, "Ouni~"

Jessica slowly took off her glasses, glanced at Lin Xiuyuan in front of her, then looked at Krystal next to her, and said calmly, "Sit down, why are you standing?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Krystal, then took a seat first, and then Krystal followed suit.

This is a small round table with four stools.

Lin Xiuyuan chose to sit opposite Jessica, and Krystal sat between the two of them, but the moment she sat down, she subconsciously moved her chair towards Lin Xiuyuan.

This subtle movement was immediately caught by Jessica, who suddenly widened her eyes and stared at her sister in disbelief.

No, it’s only been a short time since we two sisters last met. Are you planning to play the love at first sight game with me?
Krystal noticed that something was wrong with her gaze and realized that she was a little anxious, so she quickly moved the stool away and sat between the two of them, neither too far nor too far.

However, this act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell left Jessica speechless, so she turned her gaze to Lin Xiuyuan and looked at him again.

The boy in front of her was completely different from the one she first met.

On the day we first met, he was wearing a loose, old-fashioned suit, and his messy medium-length hair almost covered his entire face. The ends of his hair were frizzy, and he looked like a decadent intellectual who had just walked out of the ruins.

And now, in less than ten days, the messy long hair has turned into a neat and clean short hair, revealing the forehead and eyebrows, with the hair ends slightly curled up, with a bit of unruly and relaxed feeling.

What caught Jessica's attention most was Lin Xiuyuan's almond-shaped eyes.

If these eyes were previously obscured by thick hair, now they are like the morning mist just dispersing, sharp and deep, with the corners slightly raised. Just looking at people calmly is enough to bring a strange attraction.

Compared with his eyes, his pretty face seemed rather ordinary.

Especially at this moment, he was smiling, with a natural charm between his eyebrows, and his eyes were like the warm spring sunshine, which made Jessica's heart ripple slightly.

It's not like she's never seen a handsome guy before, but this "contrast" boy is really unfair, and it completely overturned her first impression. Looking at his clothes, he has changed from his old tacky suit to a simple and refreshing sweatshirt and casual pants.

Clean, youthful, and sunny, it reveals a relaxed youthful feeling without losing confidence and tension.

After being amazed by Lin Xiuyuan's new look, Jessica didn't hesitate to turn to Krystal and ask, "Xiujing, have you changed your taste?"

She remembered clearly that her sister liked the kind of sexy men with a slim body and a bit of wildness.

Although the puppy-like boy in front of her is likable, he doesn't seem to be her type.

In response, Krystal quickly explained, "Ouni, we don't have such an outrageous relationship. We are just ordinary friends."

"Friend?" Jessica smiled, her tone meaningful.

"Ah."

Seeing Krystal nod, she said, "You don't even believe what I said."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was sitting opposite, stayed very quietly, staring blankly at the two sisters who called him over but started to fight with each other. All the words he had prepared in his mouth were suddenly useless.

Fortunately, after Krystal bit her for a few words, Jessica quickly turned her attention to him and said, "Mr. Lin, you didn't lie to me about that IOU just to get closer to Krystal, did you?"

Very straightforward and sharp.

However, Lin Xiuyuan said calmly, "You should know better than me whether it was written by you. If you feel it is inappropriate, I can return the money to you immediately. After all, I was still young at the time. You have to ask my uncle to determine whether it is true or not."

Ask your uncle? Isn't your uncle dead?

Jessica thought to herself and immediately wanted to curse. This guy must be cursing himself to death.

Krystal, who was standing by, also understood this pointed answer, and she knew the origin of the IOU better than Jessica, so when she looked at Lin Xiuyuan, there was a hint of smile and eye roll in her eyes.

"That's not what I meant. I just heard some news recently, so I wanted to know more."

Facing Jessica's words, Lin Xiuyuan raised his head slightly towards Krystal without hesitation and said, "I'm just an errand boy. This person pays me, so if you want to ask, it would be more convenient to ask her than me."

Krystal, who had just laughed secretly, didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to do this and sold herself out in the blink of an eye.

Hearing this, Jessica raised an eyebrow and looked at her sister, "But Xiujing rarely acts like this."

Then Lin Xiuyuan's answer was even more interesting. "I also think it's a bit strange. Maybe she wants to play a trick on me. So, for safety's sake, I've already resigned from her. Don't worry about that."

"Ah, Lin Xiuyuan~"

Listening to Lin Xiuyuan's nonsense answer, Krystal finally couldn't sit still anymore. She turned her head and shouted at him, "Can you please speak properly? You are like this again, you are always like this."

You're like this again~
You are always like this~
These two sentences, filled with dissatisfaction and complaints, became Krystal's rare act of coquettishness when they fell into Jessica's ears.

So he looked at the other person in shock.

I just wanted to chat with each other before, but why did these two suddenly start showing their affection in front of me and make it public?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Fellow godfathers, we're still a few hundred votes short of 2,000. I wonder if we'll ever have this opportunity.
