Chapter 30: Is it possible she hoarded a box

~8 min read 1,423 words

At 6:00 PM, the sky in Gangnam District was dyed with a layer of pale gold, and the sunset passed through the gaps between the high-rise buildings, slanting on the streets and eaves, plating the whole city with a layer of soft brilliance.

When Lin Xiuyuan pushed open the villa door and walked out, Krystal had already sat in the passenger seat. The car door was open, she was leaning against the car, looking down at her phone, a strand of smooth long hair hanging in front of her shoulders, swaying gently with the breeze.

Hearing the door sound, she looked up at the person coming, with disgust in her eyes. "A bit slow, no, Lin Xiuyuan, why do you always like to go to the bathroom first when you go out."

Having known each other for half a month, it was basically like this every time, which made Krystal really disgusted with this guy.

Lin Xiuyuan coughed lightly. "This is called marking the position, you don't understand."

He muttered while walking over, closed the car door for her, and then walked around to the driver's seat and sat down.

With a low roar of the engine, the car started, and then returned to calm.

Accompanied by the light sound of the air conditioner, Krystal's fingers slid on the navigation page, looking quiet and familiar.

"Go to that Japanese restaurant in Cheongdam-dong."

"Hmm."

While nodding, Lin Xiuyuan drove the car out of the villa and into the main road of Gangnam.

And Krystal in the passenger seat began to be sarcastic. "Yo, I only took you to eat once, and you turned around and took another woman to eat."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was driving, finally confirmed that someone's behavior was a bit improper, glanced at her sideways, smiling but not smiling. "First of all, the address of this restaurant was not booked by me. Secondly, Krystal, you are a bit wrong."

Outside the car window, the light signs on both sides of the street lit up one by one, and cafes, galleries, and small theaters began to gather the flow of people at night.

Krystal, who heard Lin Xiuyuan's words, looked out the window with a restless heart. In fact, she also knew in her heart that her actions just now were a bit excessive, but this was not any liking, saying liking was too looking down on her feelings.

That was just the unwillingness in her heart, just a bit unable to accept that she had finally found a little toy, but hadn't used it for a few days, and was stared at by others.

In other words, it was the pride of a beauty, not allowing her things to be touched by others.

Not to mention it was a junior, and it was the kind that was pried away in front of her face.

This made her self-esteem a bit unacceptable.

That's why the scene before appeared.

At the same time, she also responded to Lin Xiuyuan's teasing with silence.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her, seeing that she didn't answer and didn't say much, just reached out and pressed the play button on the center console, and a piece of soft jazz music slowly sounded in the car.

The light melody flowed in the air, and carried the faint perfume of Krystal.

It was a citrus-scented fragrance, which was surprisingly compatible with the spring night.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Xiuyuan took Krystal into the main door, and under the guidance of the waiter, came to the private room that Liu Zhimin had already booked.

As the sliding door opened slowly.

Liu Zhimin, who was sitting inside, turned her head to look, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had only climbed up for two seconds before it froze there instantly. 【30-2

Then she quickly stood up and bowed ninety degrees, her tone filled with both shock and suspicion, "Hello, Senior Krystal."

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze swept over Lin Xiuyuan, who had followed Krystal in.

The latter revealed a slightly awkward smile and gave Liu Zhimin a look with an extremely apologetic expression.

At the same time, Krystal's voice rang out, her tone natural, "I was originally with Xiuyuan, but then I heard you two had plans for dinner. Since I didn't have anywhere to go, you wouldn't mind if I sat down and ate with you, would you?"

Xiuyuan?

This unusual form of address left not only Liu Zhimin but even Lin Xiuyuan himself stunned.

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Liu Zhimin was no fool; hearing this, she immediately understood that Lin Xiuyuan was also a victim, so she quickly shook her head.

It was just that the look she gave Krystal was somewhat complicated.

After spending the entire day yesterday with Lin Xiuyuan, she could tell from their conversations that this guy didn't have any overly intimate feelings for Senior Krystal.

Yet now, just one day later, Krystal had appeared right in front of her, giving her a fierce slap in the face.

After the pleasantries, the three of them took their seats one after another.

As the waiter replenished the tableware and explained the menu, Liu Zhimin glanced at Krystal, who had sat down right next to Lin Xiuyuan. Gritting her teeth, she finally looked at Lin Xiuyuan and said, "By the way, Lin Xiuyuan, this is a thank-you gift for the trouble of you driving me over there yesterday. It's not very valuable, so please don't mind it."

As she spoke, she took out the small charm she had prepared beforehand and handed it to Lin Xiuyuan opposite her, under Krystal's slightly narrowed gaze.

"A gift? I'm a bit flattered."

Lin Xiuyuan took the gift box without declining; after all, Krystal was still there, and declining would have made things awkward for Liu Zhimin.

But just as he intended to set it aside, Krystal spoke up, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Liu Zhimin pursed her lips, but instead of fighting back, she smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, see if you like it."

Facing this kind of situation for the first time, Lin Xiuyuan dared not refuse and very obediently opened the gift box, taking out the small, exquisitely packaged charm inside.

"A wind chime?"

Recognizing the object, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Liu Zhimin.

The latter smiled, "Mm, it symbolizes happiness and freedom. Aren't you opening a tavern? This would be perfect hanging at the entrance."

"Indeed, a perfect atmospheric piece for a small tavern."

After hearing Liu Zhimin's explanation, Lin Xiuyuan nodded gently and placed it back into the gift box.

Because of the extra 'light bulb' Krystal, Liu Zhimin couldn't make any progress with Lin Xiuyuan that night.

They just had a very simple dinner, chatted a bit about the tavern and her personal work, and then she hurriedly paid the bill and left, citing a tight schedule.

Leaving the private room to the two who had arrived later, the whole situation was somewhat topsy-turvy.

And with Liu Zhimin's departure, Krystal, who had been quiet for most of the dinner, finally saw her chance. She immediately looked at the gift box beside Lin Xiuyuan, her tone meaningful, "Lin Xiuyuan, do you know what the meaning of a wind chime is?"

"Didn't she say happiness and freedom?"

Lin Xiuyuan, whose mind didn't have that many twists and turns, replied.

"You believe everything you're told?"

Krystal scoffed and continued to tease, "But she wasn't wrong; wind chimes do have that meaning, but their greater significance is actually longing. Do you even know what longing means?"

So when Lin Xiuyuan heard this answer, he took a deep look at the small charm by his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"That's a bit of a stretch, we only just met for the first time."

"Is it possible she bought a whole box and just gives one to anyone she finds pleasing?"

"???"

2013.

"Help me change my flight to the evening; I have something to do and need to rush back by dawn."

"Are you in such a hurry, Unnie? We can fly tomorrow at noon, it's fast too."

"Mm, I'm in a hurry. A huge matter is waiting for me."

Small charm, hahaha, hahaha, haha, ha
