Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 27: Bar, maybe a good choice
The next day.

It is still the same restaurant location, but the time has changed from afternoon to 8 am.

A Mercedes-Benz GLS slowly pulled up to the roadside, and then a short-haired girl who had been waiting there walked up, opened the passenger door, and got in.

As the car door closed again, the GLS picked up speed and left this side as quickly as possible, heading towards the highway intersection.

inside the car.

Liu Zhimin got in the car and glanced at Lin Xiuyuan, who was concentrating on driving. Compared to the patterned sweatshirt he wore yesterday, he looked simpler today.

Although it is still a sweatshirt style, it does not have any patterns. It is a pure black design and is paired with a white T-shirt, creating a clean layering effect.

The lower body is a classic pair of washed retro jeans. The overall outfit looks simple and elegant without losing stability, giving people a sense of comfort without being cumbersome.

His face is still handsome, but his simple and capable temperament makes people involuntarily feel a sense of reliable security.

Lin Xiuyuan noticed Liu Zhimin's look and relaxed a little after the car turned onto the main road. He then looked to the side and said, "Seriously, we first met yesterday, right? How dare you get in my car and drive straight to a city hundreds of kilometers away? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"Bad guys won't say they are bad guys." Liu Zhimin replied softly.

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and continued, "What if I guessed you would think this way, so I did the opposite?"

"what?"

Liu Zhimin didn't react at once.

Although there is a Chinese person in her group, she didn't understand the statement at first because it requires a certain Chinese literary background.

It was not until Lin Xiuyuan's explanation that she shyly turned her head to look out the window, feeling a little embarrassed.

After a long while, he calmed down and replied, "The main reason is that I know that you are friends with Krystal and Jessica, and you are going to visit Sulli, so I think you are not that kind of bad person."

"Is this reason enough for you to trust a man?" Lin Xiuyuan asked in surprise.

“It’s not just that.”

Liu Zhimin, who was sitting, looked ahead with a dazed look in his eyes. "Senior, what do you think of my short hair? Does it look like a hairstyle that Sulli once had?"

Ok?
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, because he did have this feeling, so he thought of going there.

Liu Zhimin continued, "Actually, the teacher who did this hairstyle for me was the same teacher who did the hairstyle for Sulli. So when she was doing it for me, she casually talked about Sulli and said that she wanted to visit her when she was free, but she was too busy with work and never had the time."

No wonder they feel so similar.

Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself, but was still a little confused. "So what does this have to do with you? It's the teacher's problem, right?"

"It's not directly related..." Liu Zhimin exhaled softly, "I just suddenly wanted to take a look. It can be regarded as a reminder and a warning to myself."

When she said this, her eyes were no longer as confused as usual, but instead were exceptionally clear and firm.

This concludes the topic.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at this top Kpop girl group member with some surprise. It seemed that even with such popularity, she could not escape some troubles from the outside world.

And her reasons were more than enough.

The car was still moving and soon left the city streets, drove onto the highway, and headed straight for its destination.

After the conversation ended, the car fell into a brief silence. Liu Zhimin secretly glanced at Lin Xiuyuan and felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull. So, taking the opportunity to overtake, he asked, "Senior, I don't know your name or what you do?"

Hearing the question, Lin Xiuyuan laughed again, "You dare to get in the car without knowing it? Is Krystal's face so valuable? Does it give you such a sense of security?"

"I have a feeling you don't look like that."

Facing Liu Zhimin's statement, Lin Xiuyuan thought of something and asked him in return, "By the way, how old are you?"

"25."

Liu Zhimin reported it directly. At her age, she was still young and did not hide anything.

Lin Xiuyuan chuckled, "You are older than me, but I won't use honorifics to address you. You don't have to call me senior either. My name is Lin Xiuyuan. I know Krystal and the others, but I'm not part of your circle."

"Ah, really?"

Liu Zhimin was stunned when he heard this. The person he had been calling "senior" since yesterday turned out to be a younger man?

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her reaction and continued to smile and added, "Why, do I look old?"

Turning his head, Liu Zhimin looked at the other person's pretty face and extremely eye-catching eyes.

He shook his head slowly. "That's not the point. I'm just a little surprised. I thought that anyone who could be with two seniors would be around their age, just looking a little younger."

"No, I'm only 22."

Lin Xiuyuan was thinking about dropping out of college and then coming here to work for a year. Now he is just the age for a fresh college graduate.

This time he didn't fool the fifth-generation girl next to him like he did to Jessica yesterday. After all, chatting with a sister who is ten years older than him can be considered a joke, but talking to someone of the same age is sexual harassment.

As soon as Liu Zhimin heard Lin Xiuyuan's age, she immediately became excited, "22, then you have to call me Nuna."

To this, Lin Xiuyuan replied again, "No, I just said that I won't call you by any honorifics. Oh, and I'm Chinese, just like Ningning from your group, so you should know that we're not used to this over there."

"Yeah, I see. It's true that Ningning wasn't used to the rules here at first, but she gradually got used to it later. But I don't mind. I don't really care about it. On the contrary, I feel more comfortable chatting without honorifics."

After saying this, Liu Zhimin began to wonder how Lin Xiuyuan got to know Krystal and the others.

This question made Lin Xiuyuan silent.

Because no matter which world it is, it is always difficult to explain these relationships to outsiders. You can't tell the other party about the time and space gate.

So after a few seconds of pausing, Lin Xiuyuan finally answered, "Because I opened a small bar, I met Krystal and the others by chance when they came over for a drink."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes, it is like that."

As he said this, the book "The Convenience Store of Sorrow" once again came to his mind, as well as the conversation and thoughts he had with Jessica Jung the other night.

Perhaps, opening a real bar is a good choice.

Whether it is used to conceal relationships and identity, or to have something to do, opening a bar is a good choice.
