Chapter 314: Dinner for Zheng Xiuyan and Jessica??
After a long while, Zheng Xiuyan, who had reacted, looked at Lin Xiaolu's departing back and muttered in confusion.
"No, rejuvenation is one thing, but can it also cure all diseases? Can it also maintain a figure?"
She tilted her head slightly, her fingertips unconsciously curling the hair falling on her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief, "No, eating that guy Xiuyuan, can it really make one immortal?"
But this thought was truly too absurd, making even herself couldn't help but pout, but a trace of indescribable ripples was gently stirred in the bottom of her heart.
Then she turned and sat back in front of the makeup mirror, the face in the mirror was still exquisite, but the fatigue of consecutive days of rehearsal could still be seen a point or two.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Zheng Xiuyan suddenly remembered Lin Xiuyuan's eyes that were always calm and smiling.
So, by some strange coincidence, she took out her phone and clicked on the chat box with Lin Xiuyuan.
The chat history inside stopped a few days ago, she asked the other party if it went smoothly when arriving in Tokyo, Lin Xiuyuan only briefly replied "Arrived, everything is well," and she replied "Pay attention to rest."
A typical turn-based chat.
This information in her eyes made Zheng Xiuyan have an indescribable feeling, just looking at those few lines of dialogue, she gently bit her lower lip, leaving a shallow tooth mark on her plump lips.
Then, very quickly, as if she had made some kind of determination, she flipped through the address book to find that name, and her fingertips pressed the dial button.
As the regular and long "beep—" sound came from the receiver, until it automatically hung up, there was still no answer.
This situation made her frown, and she dialed again without much hesitation.
The result was the same.
After two consecutive times, Zheng Xiuyan probably guessed the situation, which was that Lin Xiuyuan was definitely not on this side, otherwise he would rarely not answer the phone.
So she found Sulli's number and dialed it.
Similarly, no answer.
After confirming the situation, she exited the call interface and clicked on the group chat named 【Jieyou Small Garden】, her fingertips hovering over the input box, thinking about whether to @ everyone and ask about the whereabouts of Ham Eunjung and the others.
And just when she was hesitating, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and the caller ID was exactly Sulli, who hadn't answered just now. This situation made Zheng Xiuyan almost immediately press the answer button, her voice carrying a trace of lightness she hadn't even noticed, "Feed~ Sulli."
"Hmm~ Unnie, you're looking for me." Sulli's lively and crisp voice came from the other end of the receiver.
Zheng Xiuyan, who heard the voice, steadied her mind, "Hmm, I originally wanted to find Xiuyuan, but his phone couldn't get through, where did you go."
Sulli heard this and seemed to laugh in a low voice first, the laughter carrying a bit of small interest, "We just came back from over there, Oppa is right next to me.
Then, her voice moved a bit further away, clearly having moved the phone away, "Here, Oppa, Xiuyan Unnie is looking for you."
Then a subtle sound of clothing friction and footsteps moving came from the other end of the phone.
Two seconds later, Lin Xiuyuan's magnetic and gentle voice clearly entered Zheng Xiuyan's ears, "Feed, Xiuyan, what's wrong?"
Hearing his voice, Zheng Xiuyan's inexplicable irritability just now suddenly calmed down a lot.
Holding the phone, her tone tried to appear as casual as possible, "Nothing much, just wanted to ask when you're coming back."
Although the excuse was a bit stiff, Zheng Xiuyan didn't care much anymore, after all, the person on the opposite side should understand her meaning.
This wasn't it, Lin Xiuyuan listened and didn't expose anything, but answered seriously, "It's estimated to be in these two days, Hara also has to be busy."
"So fast?"
This made Zheng Xiuyan somewhat surprised and blurted out.
Although she asked casually earlier, in her heart she had actually defaulted that Lin Xiuyuan might stay on that side for a few more days, after all, Goo Hara's situation was more complex and needed some time to accompany and adjust.
But she didn't expect this guy to plan to return so quickly.
And facing her surprise, Lin Xiuyuan's explanation was very calm, "Just myself, Zhenli is still accompanying Hara over there for a while, anyway, their two-person world, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."
This made Zheng Xiuyan slightly stunned, then knowingly.
Yes, for this guy, the distance of space might never be a problem.
So she gently said "Oh," and her tone returned to the calmness from before, "That's right, anyway you can go over at any time."
"Right." Lin Xiuyuan responded over there, his tone carrying a trace of a smile.
Just when Zheng Xiuyan was pondering what to say next, whether to ask about Goo Hara's situation or chat about something else, Lin Xiuyuan took the initiative to speak.
The voice came through the radio waves, clear and definite, "By the way, let's have a meal together after I come back. You've also been busy for a while on that side, right? Take advantage of having time now, it's rare to sit down and rest, chat, and drink something?"
Zheng Xiuyan, who was pondering, was surprised by this active invitation from Lin Xiuyuan.
The fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, and her heartbeat missed a beat.
However, very quickly, a light and sweet emotion quietly permeated, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly upward.
"Sure." Zheng Xiuyan tried hard to make her voice sound like she could maintain that appropriate composure from before, "Then give me a call when you come back, anyway, I've only been rehearsing at night recently, there's nothing else."
"Good, then it's a deal." Lin Xiuyuan over there seemed to smile as well.
Afterward, the two of them said a few simple words, and the call ended.
Zheng Xiuyan, who put down the phone, gently rubbed her fingertips on the smooth screen.
The complex mood originally brought about by speculation and Lin Xiaolu's words was now replaced by a bright sense of expectation.
As if the dark clouds had dispersed, the sunlight had sprinkled down, and her mood had become brilliant again.
And on the other end of the phone, inside the hotel guest room.
Lin Xiuyuan, who ended the call, was handing the phone back to Sulli, who was looking at him eagerly, and before he could even speak, he was met with two pairs of bright, inquisitive eyes.
Among them, Sulli tilted her head, her smile as cunning as a small fox.
And Goo Hara next to her also pursed her lips, her eyes full of curiosity that wrote "tell us quickly."
This made Lin Xiuyuan smile helplessly, reaching out to rub his eyebrows, "Why are you both looking at me like this? Your eyes are a bit wrong."
"It's you, Oppa, who is wrong." Sulli immediately took the conversation, her tone firm, "Did you chat about anything after going over to see Jessica Unnie? It's been such a long time, it's rare to see you take the initiative to invite Xiuyan Unnie on this side."
Sulli, who deliberately emphasized "on this side" and "take the initiative," was because she could see the somewhat strange interaction between Lin Xiuyuan and Zheng Xiuyan.
Goo Hara on the side didn't speak, just blindly cooperated and nodded hard, indicating agreement.
Her face was written with "I don't know anything, so I'm even more curious."
Looking at these two pairs of eyes flashing with gossip light and full of desire for knowledge, Lin Xiuyuan laughed and shook his head.
Then he stepped forward and reached out both hands, gently pressing on the heads of the two girls, one on the left and one on the right. The soft hair made his movements lighten a bit, but the force of pushing forward didn't decrease.
"Alright, you two don't be so gossipy." He said, while carrying a bit of unquestionable meaning, pushing the two toward the door of the room next to them, "Hurry up and wash up and rest, didn't you just shout about coming back to sleep over at the villa just now."
"Oh my, let's chat for a while, Oppa~" Even though her head was being pressed and she was being stuffed into the room, Sulli still protested with a smile, her voice full of joy.
At the same time, Goo Hara also echoed in a low voice, carrying a bit of the mischievous image she rarely revealed, "That's right, Xiuyuan, we can give you ideas, such as which restaurant is better to choose, what gift is better to give."
"What are you thinking about blindly."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't dare to accept their "good intentions," his hand movements didn't stop, until he safely stuffed both girls into the room.
"Keep the ideas for yourselves, good night."
After speaking, he closed the door, isolating the protests and laughter that might come from inside.
However, the moment before the door closed, he still heard the "haha" laughter from Sulli and Goo Hara inside, which carried a sense of success, clearly laughing together while looking at each other.
Standing outside the closed door, listening to the faint laughter inside, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but shake his head.
But the corners of his mouth also unconsciously pulled up a tiny arc that carried indulgence.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting bright, Goo Hara got up lightly, quickly packed up, and went out to work.
——
Leaving a piece of quiet for Sulli, who was still sleeping, and Lin Xiuyuan in another room.
By the time Lin Xiuyuan slept until he woke up naturally, the typhoon day in Tokyo had finally emerged with sunlight today, which was spilling into the room through the cracks in the curtains.
Afterward, he took Sulli, who had also slept enough, out, found a family restaurant with a good reputation in the nearby street full of life, and ate a rich and authentic breakfast.
Then, the two of them, like ordinary tourists, first went to Ginza to pick out some skincare products and limited snacks as souvenirs for the ladies in the group who were waiting to be fed.
Then they turned to Akihabara and purchased some interesting anime peripherals and small gadgets.
The main task in the afternoon was to help Sulli change hotels.
Checking out from the hotel originally located near the T-ara dormitory, dragging their luggage, they came to another hotel near Goo Hara's dormitory to check in.
This could facilitate Sulli's coming and going in the days to accompany Goo Hara.
After handling all this, the sky was near dusk, night fell quietly, and the lights of Tokyo lit up one after another.
The two drove the car to the vicinity of Goo Hara's workplace, met with Goo Hara who had finished her schedule, and found a restaurant with a nice atmosphere to eat dinner.
During the meal, it was mainly Sulli and Goo Hara who were chirping and sharing the interesting news and work experiences of the day, while Lin Xiuyuan mostly listened quietly.
Occasionally interjecting, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After the meal, he accompanied the two to walk a few steps, until he safely sent them back to the vicinity of their residence, and then he took the subway alone, returning to the hotel next to the T-ara dormitory to rest.
The schedule for the second day was similar to the previous day, still a leisurely Tokyo tour, but with a well-behaved and hard-to-hide-excitement little tail by his side: little assistant Lee Shaoxi.
According to Park Jiyeon's entrustment on the phone, Lin Xiuyuan took this person to the Skytree, which the other party had been talking about for a long time, to overlook the panoramic view, experienced the traditional Japanese atmosphere at Senso-ji, and ate various street snacks, which could be considered as treating her well for a day.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
After getting up, Lin Xiuyuan neatly packed his simple luggage, checked out, and headed to the airport.
While waiting for the flight, he didn't forget to send his flight information to the 【Jieyou Small Garden】 group, but didn't specifically @ anyone.
However, as the plane landed steadily at Seoul Incheon International Airport.
Before Lin Xiuyuan could check any information, the phone in his pants pocket vibrated immediately.
The name jumping on the screen was none other than Zheng Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyuan, who answered the phone, immediately heard the clear and slightly imperceptibly soft voice of the other party in his ears.
The content was very simple, Zheng Xiuyan reported a parking space area and number.
Hearing this situation, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile, and while walking toward the exit with the crowd, said, "No, Xiuyan, aren't you busy?"
"It's okay, I have an interview in the afternoon and evening." Zheng Xiuyan at the parking area replied, her voice coming through the radio waves, the background was quiet.
"Then why did you run over, I can just take a taxi myself." Lin Xiuyuan's tone carried a bit of helpless gentleness, with a light backpack on his back, following behind the crowd getting off the plane one after another, walking at a pace that was neither slow nor fast.
"Just came out to get some air."
Zheng Xiuyan's reason sounded a bit willful, and carried a bit of taking it for granted, "Every day is either stage or rehearsal, my brain has become mechanized, just happened to see your flight information, so I came out for a ride, and picked you up by the way."
This "just happened to" was used quite cleverly.
But it also made the smile in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes deepen a bit, and he didn't nag anything more, "Fine, then wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After ending the call, Lin Xiuyuan looked at the crowd that was still moving slowly in front, simply adjusted the backpack strap, and quickened his pace.
His tall figure cleverly wove through the passengers, walking toward the exit direction Zheng Xiuyan mentioned quickly and without losing composure.
It took about ten minutes or so.
Lin Xiuyuan, looking at the sign, appeared in a quiet corner of the parking lot, there weren't many cars in the surrounding parking spaces, and there was only one that was started and had its lights on.
That familiar overseas trident made Lin Xiuyuan find it a bit funny, and he went up to meet it.
And Zheng Xiuyan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also saw Lin Xiuyuan and drove down.
As soon as they met, Lin Xiuyuan said, "Thank you, Ms. Zheng, for picking me up in your busy schedule, if you don't mind tonight, can you give me a chance to treat you to dinner."
Zheng Xiuyan, who had just stood on the ground, felt even happier listening to the voice in her ears, but her expression was deliberately raising her head in a pose.
"Hmm~ if you say so, then I have to go back and see if there's time in the schedule. But looking at your sincerity, fine, I'll agree to you."
"Ah, I was thinking if you said you didn't have time, then I'd treat Jessica."
"Lin Xiuyuan!!!"
Didn't expect this guy to be serious and handsome for less than two seconds, and in the blink of an eye, he started to be annoying again, which made Zheng Xiuyan's mood really go up and down.
So, unable to hold back, she gave the other person a fierce, indignant glare.
To this, Lin Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention and smiled, then came to Zheng Xiuyan's side, and hugged her with his small hand.
Hugging her shoulder and pushing her half-willingly to the passenger seat, he opened the door, "Beauty, please get in the car."
Zheng Xiuyan, who had been tough for a while, immediately softened again, gave this guy a charming glare, and sat in.
Then she watched the other party go around the front of the car and sit in the driver's seat, only then asking, "Is it really eating tonight."
"Eat, but have to add one person."
"???"
"Jessica."
