Chapter 165

The night in Seoul in June, the temperature is just right, even the evening breeze carries a gentle taste.

Lin YoonA's car drove slowly on the main road of Gangnam, the car windows were tightly closed, isolating the noise outside, but couldn't stop the city neon from spilling on the faces of the two through the glass.

The neon on the street flickered, like jumping notes, sweeping past row by row outside the car window, and was thrown behind by the speed of the car.

The traffic lights ahead flashed orange light, and the lights of the cafe on the roadside were warm and soft, which also happened to be reflected on Kim Taeyeon's face in the passenger seat, quiet and soft.

There was no music in the car, but it seemed a bit quiet.

Lin YoonA held the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand rested casually on the gear lever.

But for some reason, from the moment she hung up the call Lin Xiuyuan made to her, to driving the car out of the parking lot, and until now, she would look at Kim Taeyeon in the passenger seat from time to time.

Once, twice, three times... until the Nth time, Kim Taeyeon finally couldn't help laughing.

"YoonA, why do you keep looking at me like this?"

Kim Taeyeon, who turned her head, asked with a curious tone, carrying a bit of relaxation, "Is there something on my face? I've been looking at it since just now."

Lin YoonA shook her head and said softly, "No, just want to see your expression now, Unnie, so I can make a comparison later."

"What are you talking about." Kim Taeyeon raised her eyebrows amusedly... oh, no eyebrows.

"Hmm, nothing."

Lin YoonA, who said this, withdrew her gaze, looked at the traffic ahead, but changed her tone and asked suddenly.

"Unnie, what do you think is the most 'fantastic' thing you have ever seen in your life?"

This sudden question made Kim Taeyeon stunned.

The car was quiet for a short time, only the sound of tires sliding gently on the road could be heard.

Kim Taeyeon, who turned to look out the window, saw a familiar dessert shop, the sign was still the old blue and white neon from that year, as if time had never gone far.

A few seconds later, she slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at YoonA, and her tone carried a bit of smile.

"The most fantastic thing... many are very outrageous, but if I really have to choose one... then I think it should be the thing you said you like Xiuyuan, how long have you known each other, and still so serious."

Lin YoonA didn't rush to respond, just chuckled, "You'll know in a while, Unnie."

Kim Taeyeon blinked, the corners of her mouth raised a strange arc, "Then what about you, YoonA? What is the most fantastic thing you have ever seen?"

Lin YoonA didn't answer, just stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the car accelerated through a bright intersection.

"Wait until dinner tonight to ask me, Unnie." Then she chuckled and answered, "If you still want to ask by then, I will answer you again."

Facing this answer, Kim Taeyeon was really looking forward to seeing what there was.

The two chatted while the car continued to move forward, passing through the high-rise buildings and mottled lights.

The night wind brushed the car window, bringing a cool breath, as if driving into an unrevealed future.

And at the same time.

In the apartment in 2013.

Zheng Xiuyan, who had already placed the small decorations on the shelf, looked at the tightly closed door and frowned, "That guy has been over there for a while, why hasn't he come back yet."

"Don't know, it is estimated that he wants to wait for people to come over together."

On the sofa, Lin Xiaolu leaned on the cushion with her legs crossed and watched TV, the rare leisure time made her very relaxed.

"How long to wait, Zhenli is almost done with dinner, right."

"Not so fast, Unnie, you just sit down and rest for a while, didn't you get up very early this morning, aren't you tired?"

Facing Zheng Xiuyan's statement, Lin Xiaolu pulled her to sit beside her with a smile, and then handed her a peach, and asked curiously, "By the way, Unnie, what do you think will happen if we develop like this in the future?"

"How can I think of this, Xiuyuan has a sentence that is very right, from the moment he opened that door, all this has become an unknown."

Zheng Xiuyan hesitated after sitting down, first answered this question of Lin Xiaolu, and then continued, "YoonA, are you worried about anything?"

"I'm not worried." Lin Xiaolu shook her hand, "Everything is too smooth at present, and the future won't be bad if it is drawn according to the mold. Compared to that side, at least we have the right to choose, I am very content."

The four words "contentment brings happiness" have never disappeared from Lin Xiaolu.

"Contentment brings happiness."

Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help laughing after hearing it, "This is quite good, at least we won't have any regrets, can always walk toward the dream we want, and become the person we really want to become."

Halfway through her words, a picture appeared in her mind.

That was the picture of the two standing on the top floor blowing the wind when she followed Lin Xiuyuan to 2025 for the first time.

Suddenly, her interest came again, thinking of going over there to blow the evening wind and chat with him again in a while.

At this time, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Sulli poked a small head and asked, "Unnie, when will Oppa and the others come over, I am thinking about whether to stir-fry vegetables. If it is later, I will wait, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

Zheng Xiuyan, who heard the voice, thought about it and replied, "Didn't you say there is soup, don't worry, Sulli, you come out and rest for a while."

Hearing this, Sulli walked out and sat on the other side of the sofa, "The soup is already boiling~"

"Thank you, little snowball."

Lin Xiaolu hugged her with a grin, rubbed her face against her face, and then turned to look at Zheng Xiuyan, "Unnie, look, is Sulli's complexion getting better and better recently?"

Zheng Xiuyan nodded gently, her tone soft, "Hmm, solved the knot in her heart, didn't consume herself internally. People naturally became much more energetic, and then they would be radiant."

"Radiant?"

This word made Sulli think of the "magical phenomenon" that Lin YoonA and Krystal said last time, and then she secretly looked at these two Unnies, she still didn't dare to mention it to them, for fear that her Oppa would also be squeezed into a dry person here.

Just when the three were sitting around chatting in the apartment, on the other side of 2025, Lin YoonA finally drove Kim Taeyeon to that familiar alley.

When the car stopped slowly, Kim Taeyeon subconsciously looked out the window, confirmed the surrounding environment, and then turned her head sharply to look at the alley entrance on the car window side, her tone carrying a trace of surprise.

"Eh? Isn't this the alley next to the bistro?"

"Hmm, yes, Unnie."

Lin YoonA picked up her phone while turning off the engine and responded with a smile, "Let's go, Xiuyuan's house is here."

"His house is here?"

Kim Taeyeon got out of the car suspiciously, looking around, until she saw Lin YoonA standing in front of the villa surrounded by high walls, and a trace of shock appeared on her face instantly.

"Wait, this is... Xiuyuan's house?"

"Right? Can't you imagine it at all?"

Looking at Kim Taeyeon's appearance, Lin YoonA couldn't help laughing, because the other party's expression was almost exactly the same as when she first came.

And just when Kim Taeyeon was still stunned, she had already skillfully completed the fingerprint verification and iris recognition, and gently pushed the villa door open.

"Wait a minute, YoonA." Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses, couldn't help whispering, "You and Xiuyuan, what step have you developed to? How can you enter and exit his house at will?"

"This question, you think about it yourself in a while~ now go in first." Lin YoonA pulled Kim Taeyeon, who was still stunned, in.

The moment she walked into the courtyard, Kim Taeyeon's mouth almost opened into an "O" shape.

This villa was far more amazing than the appearance, super large floor-to-ceiling windows, marble-paved courtyard, warm lights inside revealing exquisite and elegant decoration style.

All this was far from her impression of Lin Xiuyuan.

She followed Lin YoonA into the house with an expression that was half-shocked and half-scrutinizing.

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan had already stood up from the sofa, greeted with a smile, first greeted Lin YoonA, and then moved his gaze to Kim Taeyeon beside her.

It seems that everyone who knows he lives in this villa will show a similar expression.

But interestingly, even Lin Xiuyuan himself couldn't say how much money this villa cost.

Not that he didn't care, but he really didn't know.

Soon, Kim Taeyeon, who stepped into the living room, reacted with an exclamation, "Daebak~ it's more luxurious inside than outside, Xiuyuan, you wouldn't be a chaebol second generation, and then playing some experience life with us here."

"What if I say yes?" Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, and countered easily, "Do you want to consider hugging my thigh, Taeyeon? I guarantee I won't let you down."

Looking at the situation where the problem was pushed back to Kim Taeyeon, Lin YoonA beside her also laughed.

"Sigh, forget it."

Kim Taeyeon shook her head gently, her tone joking but slightly self-deprecating, "I'm almost semi-retired, I don't want to fly too high anymore. This state is just right now, occasionally singing, going on a show, and resting for the rest of the time."

"Isn't that just right?" Lin Xiuyuan also followed with a smile, "I just happen to lack someone who has time to accompany me."

Just when Kim Taeyeon wanted to say something, Lin Xiuyuan continued, "Eh, zero, didn't YoonA say you took it out for a walk just now?"

"Oh, I sent it to the hospital, let the doctor check it, and take a bath by the way."

Kim Taeyeon explained, although the situation in the afternoon had passed, she was still a bit uneasy.

"Hmm, okay."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything about this, nodded and looked at the time, "Then let's go, everyone should be waiting anxiously, we should go over for dinner."

After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan beckoned to Lin YoonA and Kim Taeyeon, and brought the two to the time and space door together.

Lin Xiuyuan and Lin YoonA looked at each other tacitly, and then, gently opened that door.

"Go, Unnie~"

Lin YoonA smiled and pushed Kim Taeyeon, who was still stunned, in.

As a result, Kim Taeyeon, who was caught off guard, stumbled and stepped into the door unsteadily.

The next second, her footsteps landed, and the picture in front of her seemed to have been adjusted in color suddenly.

Kim Taeyeon originally wanted to turn around and complain to Lin YoonA, but the moment she turned her head, her body seemed to be pressed the pause button by an invisible force.

She felt the air suddenly stagnate, several strange and familiar gazes were falling on her, and even the light seemed to slow down by half a beat.

So Kim Taeyeon instinctively withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead.

This time, she saw clearly the figure sitting on the sofa, biting fruit, familiar and familiar.

Long hair, bright eyes, thin lips, and that face that had existed in her memories since many years ago.

It was the person who had long since passed away in reality...

It was Sulli, it was Zhenli, and it was that cute little snowball.

At this moment, the air suddenly solidified.

Kim Taeyeon felt as if she had been hit heavily by some invisible emotion, and her soul trembled violently.

She stared blankly with wide eyes, her lips slightly open, but she couldn't say a word.

She didn't even realize that she had already taken a step back subconsciously, as if to escape, or as if she couldn't believe what she saw was real.

Not a photo, not a dream, let alone an illusion.

The girl who only lived in memorial articles, bouquets, and her tears at night was sitting on the sofa not far from her at this moment.

Wearing a home-style white T-shirt, her hair was tied into a ponytail casually, and she was holding a bitten peach in her hand, looking at her with a somewhat dull expression.

"Taeyeon Unnie?"

It was Sulli who spoke first, her voice soft, revealing a trace of doubt, but so real.

This "Unnie" was like a knife cutting through Kim Taeyeon's deepest defense line.

Her eye sockets turned red instantly, and tears surged.

Her lips trembled gently, but she still couldn't say a complete sentence, she could only stare at that face, fearing that it would disappear from her eyes again in the next second.

"What's wrong... you... why don't you move?"

Kim Taeyeon murmured, her voice trembling violently.

Lin Xiaolu, who was still laughing and talking, was startled by her sudden appearance, and it took several seconds to react, "No... Taeyeon Unnie? Why are you here?"

"Taeyeon."

At this moment, Zheng Xiuyan finally came back to her senses from the shock, walked two steps toward her, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She looked hesitantly at this Kim Taeyeon, whose dress, appearance, state, and even figure were obviously different from the Kim Taeyeon she saw yesterday, her mouth moved, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

And Kim Taeyeon was still frozen in place.

From the appearance of Sulli, to the young Lin Xiaolu, to the Zheng Xiuyan who hadn't seen for a long time in front of her.

The emotion that originally came to the appointment with a bit of relaxation and teasing completely collapsed at this moment.

Countless possibilities flashed in her mind like lightning, but they were finally shattered by Sulli's "Unnie".

The tears in her eye sockets suddenly fell unconsciously.

"Sulli..." she called out softly, with hesitation, with probing, "Why are you... still here? Why are you all here."

Just then, Lin Xiuyuan and Lin YoonA crossed the time and space door one after another.

The door closed with a "click" behind them.

And Kim Taeyeon, who heard the sound, looked back subconsciously, her gaze fell on them, especially when she saw Lin YoonA, her pupils shrank suddenly.

Because on the sofa not far away, there was another "Lin YoonA".

So the clouds in her heart exploded at this moment, Kim Taeyeon moved her gaze to Lin Xiuyuan fiercely, as if all the mysteries were gathered on him.

And Lin Xiuyuan just smiled slightly, his tone relaxed as if nothing had happened.

"Taeyeon, do you remember the thing you asked me to dinner this afternoon?"

"Hmm..." Kim Taeyeon nodded mechanically, like a puppet being led away.

"Then look at this situation now, and think about how many meals you need to invite me to in the future."

He paused, then added meaningfully.

"By the way, this is — 2013."
