Chapter 133: Boss Lin who needs a time management course (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Outside the private room.

Lin Xiuyuan, leaning against the corridor wall, was saying somewhat amusingly to the other end of the phone, "Sunny teacher, your call is a bit insincere, right? Who makes an appointment when it's time to eat?"

"I also couldn't find anyone temporarily."

On the other end of the phone, Sunny's tone carried a bit of helplessness.

As a former member of Girls' Generation, not being able to find a dining companion in a place like Seoul made her depressed to the extreme.

She originally wanted to find Kim Taeyeon, but the other was in class and had a tour rehearsal in the afternoon, so she had no time at all.

Turning to find Park Xiaomin, the other was also rehearsing for the upcoming fan meeting and couldn't spare time. Finally, she dialed Lin Yun'er with hope, but the other's answer made Sunny want to flip the table directly, "Unnie, I've already eaten, you can't find anyone to accompany you to eat?"

After hearing this, Sunny hung up Lin Yun'er's phone immediately and turned to call Lin Xiuyuan.

Can't find anyone? Then I'll find your little friend.

That's how this call came about.

It's just that she didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to also be eating, adding a bit more irritability to this "unlucky person" who was already in a bad mood.

And Lin Xiuyuan, hearing this answer from Sunny teacher, smiled, "How about you come over and eat with us?"

"You? Who are you with?" Sunny's tone changed, becoming curious.

"Jessica, and Krystal."

"Hmm?"

Sunny was silent for a second on that end.

A moment later.

Lin Xiuyuan, who reopened the private room door, looked at the two at the table, pinching his phone, standing at the door and asking, "A friend is coming over, should be no problem, right?"

Facing this, although Krystal was curious, she didn't refuse, "Sure, who, Xiuyuan."

She knew Lin Xiuyuan wasn't the type to call people randomly regardless of the occasion; since he could bring them, they were naturally acquaintances everyone in the circle knew.

But Jessica didn't know, so she immediately frowned, although she didn't want to say those harsh words anymore.

But she didn't like this kind of temporary addition to the meal.

Until Lin Xiuyuan gave that person's name, "Sunny, she just called me, saying she couldn't find anyone to eat, what do you think."

He hadn't agreed on that side yet.

Ask first, if the two in the room felt it wasn't good, then... he would say bye-bye to these two and go have a meal with Sunny alone.

Anyway, Krystal wouldn't blame him, as for Jessica, who cares about her.

Fortunately, upon hearing it was Sunny, both nodded almost simultaneously.

Especially Jessica, her reaction was faster than anyone's, because she also hadn't seen Sunny for a while.

Since leaving the group, their schedules had been different, and the chances of meeting could be said to be few and far between.

Having received confirmation, Lin Xiuyuan turned off the phone's silent mode and put the phone back to his ear, "Then I'll send you the location in a bit, come over yourself. Do you want to order something first? I'll send you the menu, you pick in advance, and you can eat when you arrive."

"OK~"

Sunny on the other end of the phone responded with a light laugh.

Lin Xiuyuan, after hanging up, returned to his seat, looking at the two sisters opposite, "How about ordering first? If it's stir-fry, it might take some time."

"Sure."

"Hmm."

When ordering, Lin Xiuyuan didn't interrupt, leaving it entirely to Krystal and Jessica.

Krystal had long figured out what he liked to eat.

It was just that this point made Jessica feel more and more wrong; she seemed to have underestimated the intimacy between these two.

So as the ordering ended, Jessica's gaze focused on Lin Xiuyuan again, looking him up and down, finally stopping on his blonde hair.

Suddenly, she remembered the last time they met, she seemed to have told him that "yellow hair" didn't suit him,

but she didn't expect that this time they met, he came to her with a little blonde hair.

You know, the other party was still black-haired just two days ago.

If there wasn't a bit of emotion or resistance psychology here, Jessica wouldn't believe it even if she died.

But honestly, setting aside prejudice, this kid dyeing his hair blonde really had a sunny and clean youthful feeling.

And Krystal, noticing Jessica's gaze, laughed out loud, "Unnie, what do you think of Xiuyuan's blonde hair? I didn't expect him to run off and dye his head, I was a bit surprised when we met yesterday."

"I think he's demonstrating against me, I just told him last time that yellow hair didn't suit him."

Facing Krystal's question, Jessica hesitated for a moment, then leaned into her ear and whispered this sentence.

Krystal, who didn't expect this situation, was slightly stunned, and also remembered that time when everyone met at the coffee shop, and then the look she gave Lin Xiuyuan was even funnier.

Because with Lin Xiuyuan's rebellious personality, it was really possible that after beating that man, he ran off to dye his hair blonde to demonstrate against Jessica.

However, Krystal didn't ask the reason for dyeing her hair in the end, it looked pretty good anyway.

The look she gave him when she looked up last night, the blonde hair under the light seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warm golden honey, sweet enough to make her whole person restless.

And Jessica suddenly started interrogating Lin Xiuyuan's background information:

For example, where in Huaxia are you from? Who is in your family?

Studies, work, and what he wants to do in the future, she asked them one by one.

A series of questions made Krystal look speechless, and then she blocked Jessica's mouth for Lin Xiuyuan, who was listening to the annoyance, "Ah, Unnie, what are you doing, what's the use of asking these?"

"Getting familiar." Jessica's excuse was very reasonable.

Krystal, knowing what Jessica was worried about, sighed again, "Who uses this information to get familiar, Unnie, don't guess randomly, play with your phone quietly, we don't have the relationship you think."

Jessica looked deeply at her sister after hearing this.

This is called no relationship?

If "fighting in blood" and "running a red light" is called no relationship, then is it only considered a relationship when you have a big belly and come to me for a dowry?

Thinking of this, Jessica looked at Lin Xiuyuan opposite; she wanted to hear how the other party planned to answer her question.

And the other party, noticing the gaze, slowly raised his head and smiled lightly, "Inconvenient to answer."

These four words, brief and restrained, made Jessica, who was already very tolerant, explode instantly, staring with eyes almost ready to flare up on the spot.

But just at this moment.

The private room door was pushed open from the outside.

Sunny, wearing a shirt and jeans, stepped in, laughing loudly, "Hi, everyone, long time no see."

3"

"So fast?"

Lin Xiuyuan, hearing the voice, checked the time; it seemed to be only ten minutes or so, and the dishes hadn't even been served yet.

Then Jessica and Krystal also stood up one after another to welcome Sunny; they hadn't seen each other for a long time, "Unnie, really long time no see."

"Shun Gui~"

The atmosphere at the dining table finally warmed up.

After a while.

The dishes in the private room were all served, and the aroma wafted in the air.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the three chatting happily opposite and coughed lightly to remind them, "Can we eat now? All the dishes are served."

"Eat, eat, I haven't eaten anything since morning, my stomach was hungry long ago."

Sunny, upon hearing this, jumped up from her seat immediately and sat down beside Lin Xiuyuan, completely unaware of Krystal's slightly narrowed eyes and Jessica's surprised gaze.

Krystal actually knew Lin Xiuyuan and Sunny knew each other; he had mentioned eating with Kim Taeyeon and Sunny before, and also said Sunny was there when he attended the birthday party of a T-ara member.

But what she didn't know was that the birthday party was a swimsuit party.

Nor did she know the outrageous "teacher-student" relationship between Sunny and Lin Xiuyuan.

And she didn't expect that after experiencing that party, the relationship between the two progressed by leaps and bounds.

Compared to Krystal who had some reference for news, Jessica really couldn't figure out the situation.

She couldn't understand how this young man, who seemed to have no background, knew everyone around her, and was quite close to them?

With this doubt, the sisters had to listen to the three opposite chatting, reminiscing, talking about schedules, and discussing the status quo while eating.

Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be deliberately invisible, basically not interrupting, and the three of them chatted about everything.

As they chatted, Sunny suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan beside her, "By the way, Xiuyuan, are you going to Taeyeon's tour? She said she left us tickets, I've been too busy recently, I guess I can't go."

Once these words were out, Jessica's eyes tightened again.

Even Kim Taeyeon is familiar with this kid? And familiar to the point of leaving tickets in advance?

Krystal's chopsticks picking up food also paused lightly, but she didn't speak.

And looking up at Lin Xiuyuan opposite, he shook his head, "Tour? Not going, I have no time next week either."

"Are you going to Jiyeon's side? No wonder Xiaomin said Jiyeon is already preparing to book a room for you."

Don't know if it was intentional or on purpose, Sunny started her journey of revelations.

Sure enough, this sentence directly ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

If the name Kim Taeyeon just made the sisters listen, then this situation with Dalongzai finally made the two unable to hold back, and they spoke one after another.

"Hmm? Jiyeon? That one from Tara?"

"Hmm? Xiuyuan, didn't you say you were going back to the country next week?"

Compared to Jessica asking Sunny, Krystal went straight to the protagonist, because Lin Xiuyuan told her yesterday,

that he was going to Nihon with Sulli next week, but now that a Dalongzai popped up, she was a bit unhappy.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan explained in time, looking at Sunny and shaking his head again, "Ah, no, I'm not going to Jiyeon's side either, I'm going back to the country in a few days."

"Ah, Jiyeon doesn't know?" Sunny was a bit surprised.

"Decided just yesterday, I was thinking of telling her later."

After saying this, he stood up, preparing to go out to make a call, intending to explain the situation to Dalongzai.

Lest the other party really booked the hotel, that would be troublesome.

Seeing him get up and leave, Krystal turned to look at Sunny with interest, "Unnie, how do you know so clearly?"

Sunny smiled, "Chatted about it on Jiyeon's birthday, Xiuyuan was there too, it's just that he was grilling and didn't hear it."

Behind him, Lin Xiuyuan's footsteps suddenly paused, looking at Sunny.

Then Jessica's voice appeared first, "Ah, were you all there on that birthday party?"

"Hmm, it was so fun, hahaha, next time I'll have a swimsuit party for my birthday too."

"Wait a minute..."

"Swimsuit party?"

Lin Xiuyuan and Krystal's voices sounded at the same time.

Then came Sunny's surprised sound, "Ah, Jiyeon didn't tell you? Didn't she say she invited you, but you didn't have time to come?"

Krystal raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Xiuyuan with a smile, saying meaningfully, "Said it was a party, but didn't say it was a swimsuit party."

That look, no matter how you look at it, had some meaning.

Lin Xiuyuan, seeing the situation was bad, quickened his pace and "slipped" out of the private room directly.

After the private room door closed gently, Krystal turned to look at Sunny again, "Unnie, was it fun that day?"

"Ah~"

At this time, Sunny, who realized she had pitted her "good apprentice" after the fact, hurriedly laughed a few times, "It was okay, actually Xiuyuan went there to be a grill master for us, he was just busy grilling and didn't get to eat."

Krystal laughed lightly, "Hmm~ Unnie, then you should have seen his figure, right?"

"Cough cough—" Sunny almost choked on a grain of rice, hurriedly lowered her head and coughed twice, awkwardly looking up: "Saw, saw... it's pretty good."

She secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately, she didn't say the thing about the "birthday cake," otherwise..."

Wait.

Sunny suddenly realized that Krystal's teasing tone just now was wrong, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart: Could it be that Xiujing has a thing with Xiuyuan?

If that's the rhythm, isn't Xiuyuan stepping on two boats?

That won't do, no matter what, she has to "destroy relatives for righteousness" a bit.

After all, Krystal and Dalongzai were closer to her than Lin Xiuyuan, this newly recognized "apprentice."

After a shudder, she immediately raised her head, staring at Krystal, "Xiujing, that tone of yours just now, wouldn't it be you and Xiuyuan—"

"No, Unnie, hahaha." Krystal laughed innocently, "We don't have that kind of relationship. Just purely felt he got familiar with Jiyeon too fast, and you might not know, he used to be Jiyeon's fan, they actually haven't known each other for long."

She said, and even pulled Jessica along, telling the story of Lin Xiuyuan and Jiyeon's first meeting on the day the tavern opened vividly.

However, in the bright smile on her face, there seemed to be a hint of sharp edge.

Outside the door.

Lin Xiuyuan was leaning against the door frame, holding his forehead with a bitter smile, as if hit by a heavy blow from reality.

If he had known this "teacher" Sunny was so good at digging holes, he would never have called her to this meal even if he died.

But actually, Sunny was also a bit wronged; she thought Dalongzai said Krystal knew about the swimsuit party, so she mentioned it casually, who would have thought it would "pit her apprentice" instead.

Sighing helplessly, Lin Xiuyuan simply took out his phone, preparing to deal with the Dalongzai problem first.

Following the call, after two rings, Dalongzai's laughter came over, "Hello, Xiuyuan, how did you know I was looking for you."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned and asked back casually.

Sure enough, the next second Dalongzai answered, "I just wanted to ask you for your identity information, our group is going to Lion City for a performance in two days, let's go play together."

Facing this reply, Lin Xiuyuan didn't make it difficult, but told Dalongzai directly that he was going back to the country in a few days and might not have time.

"Ah, such a coincidence?" Dalongzai was a bit disappointed on that end.

"Hmm, suddenly have something to go back for, was thinking of telling you later, didn't expect that just now when I was eating with Sunny,

she chatted about this, so I hurriedly called you."

Dalongzai, after hearing the answer, was a bit depressed on the other end of the phone, but her mood adjusted quickly, "It's okay, then you go busy with your things. When you finish and come over, our performance will just be over, we'll gather then."

"How about, see you tonight?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked in a low voice, although only a few light words came from the other end of the phone, he heard a bit of wrong meaning, and as a young man, he was also a bit addicted to the taste.

Even if he had just unlocked the faint "boundary" of Krystal, different flavors, tasting them would still be addictive.

Sure enough, Dalongzai's laughter, which had just been retracted, overflowed from the other end of the phone again, "Hmm, see you tonight. But I have to wait until I finish practicing, is that okay, Xiuyuan?"

"No problem, I'll wait for your call." Lin Xiuyuan nodded.

Dalongzai, hearing this answer, laughed happily twice, "Hee hee, then let's do that, see you tonight."

"Hmm."

After the call ended, Lin Xiuyuan stood at the door with his phone, looking a bit dazed.

Dalongzai agreed, Krystal's side... how to end it?

Just a month ago, he was just a working cow, working every day, but now he suddenly became a man who needed a time management course.

This rapid leap in identity made him a bit unable to adapt for a while.

He took a deep breath, sorted out his mood, then pushed open the private room door and walked in again.

Lin Xiuyuan, who entered the door, originally thought he would be greeted by a series of questions from Krystal, but instead, he only saw a smile from the other, "Why are you standing at the door like a fool, sit down and eat."

And Sunny also followed up: "How is it? What did Jiyeon say?"

Lin Xiuyuan walked over and sat down, picking up his chopsticks while responding, "She happened to want to ask me this too, I called first, and we made an appointment for next time."

Opposite, Krystal smiled like nothing happened, "Fortunately I didn't go that day, swimsuit party, pfft, going there wouldn't it be asking for trouble? Xiuyuan, is the figure of Jiyeon and the others good?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who saw that smile when he looked up, subconsciously licked his lips, "Finally fulfilled the dream from my teenage years."

Krystal continued to throw out a sentence lightly: "Hmm, must be much better than when you knew them ten-plus years ago, right?"

"Cough cough~"

Lin Xiuyuan, who had just shoveled a mouthful of rice, was choked in the blink of an eye.

Sunny didn't know what encrypted conversation the two were talking about, just added a sentence normally, "But I think Jiyeon after divorce has more charm. Compared to her in '11, she seems quite attractive now."

"Unnie, how could it be good. If Jiyeon in '11 saw her now, she would probably scold 'old woman'."

Krystal pouted.

Sunny was choked and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Eh, Xiujing, what you said—is not unreasonable.

I guess each of us would want to scold ourselves ten-plus years later."

Krystal suddenly became interested, turned to look at her own sister, "Jessica, if it were you, how would you scold yourself now?"

Jessica was wandering in her thoughts, hearing herself being called, looked up, "Ah? Me?"

"Hmm."

"Don't know, don't guess randomly about this kind of thing."

Jessica, who responded casually, lowered her head to eat again.

Still that familiar answer, Jessica had always avoided talking about questions involving the "past."

She knew very well that she had long ago turned a corner at some intersection and stepped onto another strange and irreversible road.

No need to look back, nor willing to look back.

However, at this moment, compared to memories, her attention had shifted to the boy opposite.

Having known him for less than a month, this kid could actually mobilize everyone around him to be as close as old friends, and they all got along very naturally and happily.

Something's wrong, very wrong.

Originally didn't care much, now Jessica was really interested, her eyes looking at Lin Xiuyuan from time to time, the frequency of looking becoming more and more frequent.

Until Lin Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold it, feeling creepy from being stared at, simply raised his head and grinned, "That, how about adding contact information? Whenever or whenever you want to see me, make a video call, I'll answer anytime."

"Hahaha~" *N

The next second, Sunny and Krystal's laughter exploded.
