Chapter 22: Sister-con and sister-con (Seeking follow-up reading)

At the elevator entrance, Zheng Xiuyan, who had just gotten out of the car, also noticed the Mercedes-Benz driving over, so she turned back to look.

The familiar sedan made her shout immediately, "Taeyeon?"

Then a small figure got out of the Mercedes, looked at Zheng Xiuyan in front, and smiled. "I thought you had arrived long ago, Xiuyan."

"No, I went out to do something. Did you go back to Jeonju last night?"

Zheng Xiuyan explained, looked at the car, and turned to ask the other party.

Seeing the other party nod, she said again, "No wonder you were late too. Let's go, hurry up and park the car and go in."

"Hmm, who is this?"

Kim Taeyeon nodded gently, but her head tilted to the side, slightly squinting her eyes, and she saw a boy sitting in the driver's seat of Zheng Xiuyan's car through the rearview mirror.

This was also the first time in so many years that she had seen a male sitting in the driver's seat of Zheng Xiuyan's car.

It wasn't that no one had sat in her car, but they were basically passengers, and had never held the steering wheel. The one in front of her was the first.

So just now, when Kim Taeyeon saw Zheng Xiuyan actually getting out of the passenger seat of her own car, she was a bit curious and went straight to the rear of the car, intending to see who was driving.

She didn't expect to really see this rare scene.

And Zheng Xiuyan, hearing Kim Taeyeon's voice, looked at Lin Xiuyuan through the car window. The latter was also looking at Kim Taeyeon at the rear of the car through the mirror.

Zheng Xiuyan, who patted the car door to remind the other party, introduced, "A newly met friend, just let him help me send the car back."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled, followed the sound, gave Kim Taeyeon behind him a friendly smile in the mirror, and waved his hand, which counted as a greeting.

Kim Taeyeon also very politely nodded gently and returned the greeting.

"Oh, hmm."

The two interjections at the same time couldn't hide the deeper curiosity in Kim Taeyeon's eyes.

Because Zheng Xiuyan wouldn't introduce the other party to her, so it looked like there was something to investigate.

However, in front of Lin Xiuyuan, she didn't say much, and after chatting for a few words, she sat back in the car and skillfully started to reverse into the parking space.

Zheng Xiuyan took the opportunity to lean on the car window and look at Lin Xiuyuan. "Drive carefully, I don't want to lose my door-opener."

"Alright, going."

After making an OK gesture, Lin Xiuyuan didn't talk nonsense, stepped on the gas, and left.

Next door, Kim Taeyeon, who had parked the car, sat inside, watching the car leave, and then thinking of Zheng Xiuyan's posture just now, a trace of curious gaze flashed in her eyes.

However, soon, after getting out of the car, she immediately returned to her normal expression, walked to Zheng Xiuyan's side, and entered the company together.

A few days later.

In the villa on the 【2025 New Space-Time】 side.

Lin Xiuyuan, who woke up from his nap, was sitting at the computer desk scrolling through Douyin, laughing from time to time, and nodding from time to time.

Completely the behavior of an old man.

But there was no help for it; who told him to be someone who really hadn't seen the world, even more of an old man than the '25 old men.

Suddenly, the phone ringtone on the side rang, and Krystal called him.

"Lin Xiuyuan, where are you?"

"In the villa."

"Wait for me, I'm almost there."

He, who heard this reply, looked at the sky outside the window, sunny and bright. "It's broad daylight, don't you have to shoot today?"

Although in the past few nights, the two had made appointments to eat, sometimes on this side, sometimes back to 2013.

But it was all limited to the night, because the other party still had to film during the day.

And Krystal's answer was also very direct. "Today's scenes are scheduled for the night, so I came out to find you for something."

"Then okay."

Ten-plus minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Lin Xiuyuan, who opened the door for Krystal outside through the whole-house smart butler, also got up and left the room, walking downstairs.

When he came to the stairs, Krystal had already walked into the living room and looked up at him coming downstairs. "You've been staying at home every day and not going anywhere lately?"

"Hmm, I'm looking at the world. The development of the world in these ten-plus years is too exciting, how could I finish watching it in a few days?"

For Lin Xiuyuan's answer, Krystal didn't deny it, because this was an undeniable fact.

And Lin Xiuyuan, who walked to her side, asked, "You just said you came to find me for something, what is it?"

"Unnie is back." Krystal first paved the way.

Lin Xiuyuan was still puzzled. "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"She wants to see you."

"Hmm?"

Now he was dumbfounded. "See me for what? I'm clear with her on money, we have no relationship anymore. You wouldn't have told her about the door, would you? You wouldn't, right?"

"I'm not that stupid, why would I tell her?"

Krystal, years later, wasn't that naive. With a clear cognition, she knew very well what the positioning of herself and the man in front of her was.

Especially the primary and secondary relationship, which was particularly distinct.

Hearing that it had nothing to do with the door, Lin Xiuyuan asked, "Then why does she want to see me?"

"She thinks you're coaxing me, and wants to make an appointment for afternoon tea, chat, and so on."

"Chat?"

Lin Xiuyuan repeated these two words, and the "do you believe it" look in his eyes made Krystal laugh out loud, shaking her head. "I certainly don't believe it, I guess she wants to interrogate your background."

Faced with Krystal's explanation, Lin Xiuyuan only had one sentence left. "A real sister-con. You're already 30, making a friend or something, she still has to manage this?"

Women were already allergic to age, and after returning to the past once, Krystal was even more sensitive.

Before, teasing her could be taken as a joke, but now if you mention it, she would break her defense. "Hey, you can just talk about her, why attack my age?"

"It's a fact."

After glaring at Lin Xiuyuan very angrily, Krystal snorted through her nose. "I don't know about her, anyway she asked me to call you, I guess the news of you running to the set every day these few days has also reached her ears."

"Scandal?"

Krystal's statement made an adjective pop into Lin Xiuyuan's mind.

For this, Krystal also couldn't help but laugh. "Can't count as one, but there have indeed been many rumors spreading in the set these past two days."

Lin Xiuyuan, who got the answer, just gave up.

"Then I won't go tomorrow, you can order takeout yourself."

"If you don't send me, what will I eat?"

For this, Krystal wouldn't agree, hurriedly shouting unhappily, "They can say what they want, you aren't an artist or a star, anyway it won't affect you, I'm not worried, what are you avoiding suspicion for?"

Lin Xiuyuan indicated, "I just want to sleep in."

"You have plenty of time to sleep, but let's talk about this topic later. Let's go now, Unnie is probably waiting anxiously."

Looking at Krystal, who was winking at him, Lin Xiuyuan curled his lips. "Can I not go? If I go and get sarcastically mocked by Jessica, my personality can't take it, I'll definitely retort."

"It's fine, I support you, you scold yours, I'll definitely be on your side."

"Outrageous, Krystal, aren't you a sister-con?"

"Only when she's single."

"???"

What kind of tiger-wolf words are these?
