Chapter 329

Shancheng.

Park Jiyeon, who was sitting in the car at this time, was exceptionally happy because she had no schedule pressure and could go out to forage with the members, so she pulled Park Hyomin, who was sitting next to her, like an excited little dinosaur, and the two of them leaned their heads together, constantly taking selfies with their phones.

"Unnie, look here, smile!"

"Zhiyan-ah, lower your head, my face is completely blocked by you!"

"Hahaha, this one is so silly, delete it, delete it!"

The two played and made trouble, and from time to time pulled Li Juli or Quan Baolan next to them into the frame, and then greeted everyone except Xian Enjing, who was driving, to squeeze together, facing the camera with bright smiles, and took group photos with the other party as the background.

Until Xian Enjing saw that they were about to get on the elevated road, she shouted with a gentle but irresistible tone, "Alright, Zhiyan-ah, Hyomin, you guys hurry up and sit properly, fasten your seat belts."

Only then did the two finally calm down a bit and sit back in their seats, but their faces were still filled with relaxed smiles.

And Park Jiyeon, who adjusted her sitting posture, looked at Xian Enjing, who was in the driver's seat, and asked curiously, "Unnie, where exactly are we going to eat? Is it far?"

Xian Enjing looked down at the navigation on her phone, the corners of her mouth bent into a gentle arc unconsciously, and she spoke softly.

"Xiuyuan just said that it would be a pity if we came to Shancheng and didn't take a look at the night view of Hongyadong, so he recommended us to go to a shop called 'Shancheng Paoge Black Tea Hot Pot', which is near Hongyadong. I heard that the shop has a great location, sitting in a private room by the window, you can directly see the best night view of the Shancheng riverside. And—"

Speaking of this, her voice also carried a hint of anticipation, "I heard that there is also a traditional Sichuan opera face-changing performance to watch at night, eating hot pot while watching the performance, it has a lot of local characteristics."

Upon hearing this, everyone became interested one after another, and expressions of anticipation appeared on their faces.

"Hongyadong night view? I've seen photos on the internet, it's so dreamy."

"Being able to watch the night view while eating hot pot, this arrangement is not bad."

"And a face-changing performance? Then we must take a good look."

Even Park Hyomin, who was originally a bit unhappy because Lin Xiuyuan "read but didn't reply," had her eyes lit up after hearing this thoughtful arrangement, and the resentment in her heart dissipated a little bit.

It's just that her gaze looking at Xian Enjing's phone became more complex, and the resentment that had just dissipated a little bit rose again.

This bastard has been chatting with Enjing for so long, is he still unwilling to reply to her?

Just when Park Hyomin was secretly sulking because of Lin Xiuyuan, Park Soyeon, who was in the passenger seat, had been relatively quiet along the way, just listening to everyone chatting with a smile, suddenly spoke.

Her voice was very gentle, carrying a hint of pure curiosity, and her gaze swept over the faces of the members in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is that 'Xiuyuan' that you guys often mention in your topics lately? It feels like every time we chat together, this person's name appears with a high frequency, when will you introduce him to me?"

This statement by Park Soyeon was not a joke, but she was truly a bit curious.

After all, it was truly rare to see a man who could make these younger sisters in the team, whose standards were not low, repeatedly mention him, and whose evaluation seemed very special.

"Unnie, you are actually curious about this?"

Park Jiyeon, who was in the back seat, laughed immediately upon hearing this, her tone carrying a hint of surprise and teasing, "I thought Unnie, you didn't have any thoughts about other men except for your brother-in-law, and only cared about falling in love."

You know, Park Soyeon was a well-known love-brained attribute, and once she fell in love, she easily hid away to live a loving life.

"Zhiyan-ah, how could I—" Park Soyeon denied with a bit of shyness, although she was immersed in love, she wouldn't have no interest in other things.

"How could you not, Unnie. Every time we want to have a party on vacation, we can't find you, even if we want to introduce you, there's no chance." Park Hyomin also added, her tone carrying a bit of small complaint.

"That was before." Park Soyeon smiled embarrassedly, "Now I have a little more free time."

With her controversial relationship recently having gone through a public storm, she finally didn't have to hide and seek for secret dating locations and time like in the past.

She also had more time and space to participate in the collective activities of the members.

However, none of the people in the car chose to believe completely what she said.

Everyone exchanged a tacit look, and their faces carried a kind smile of "you're lying to ghosts."

If it weren't for the fact that the dining location this time was far away in Shancheng, and they were unfamiliar with the place, Park Soyeon wouldn't have been easy to act alone.

If it were changed to Seoul, it is estimated that the other party would have already made other arrangements and disappeared.

Mainly because everyone knew too well this Unnie's tendency to value sex over friends.

But fortunately, at this time, everyone tacitly didn't dismantle Park Soyeon's stage.

Only Xian Enjing, who was driving, looked at Park Soyeon from the side and said in a joking tone, "That's good, next time we have a chance in Seoul, we will officially call you along. By then, don't say you don't have time, or have something more important temporarily."

"Rest assured, I won't." Park Soyeon nodded and agreed readily, and then pulled the topic back to the initial curiosity, "So how much charm does that boy you mentioned have? Is he really handsome?"

Opposite sex, naturally, was interested in the most intuitive standard of "appearance" for the first time.

"I personally think he is more handsome than many men in the circle!"

Facing Park Soyeon's question, Park Jiyeon almost gave a positive answer without hesitation, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and her tone carried undisguised liking.

Park Hyomin pursed her sexy red lips, and her tone was slightly more complex, "He is quite handsome, his facial features and physique are impeccable, but I personally prefer the indescribable temperament on that guy."

She tried to find a suitable description, "It feels quite different from those greasy, deliberate, or packaged male stars around me, more natural, and more elusive."

"A sense of mystery." Park Soyeon summarized.

At this time, Quan Baolan, who was always quiet but had keen observation, also rarely spoke.

Her voice was soft but hit the point, "Sunny, friendly, makes people feel easy to approach. But if you feel it carefully, there is a sense of blurriness that is detached from the layer, looking very familiar, and giving people a sense of alienation."

The word "layer," which was slightly abstract but very vivid, was something Quan Baolan thought of after spending a lot of time.

Because the trait of Lin Xiuyuan's mysterious sense of distance indeed made her feel pulled.

Immediately after, Li Juli also gently propped her chin with her slender fingertips, and gave her impression thoughtfully.

"You guys have all said it, let me talk about it too, although I haven't seen the other party a few times, I always feel that the other party has a very dashing sense of casualness. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, but it also seems that everything is under control. Like the wind, you can feel it, but it seems you can't grasp it."

"Yes, that's it." Li Juli's slightly literary and emotional description instantly hit Park Hyomin's heart, and she nodded and shouted.

"So exaggerated—"

Park Soyeon, who might have just asked casually, after listening to the descriptions of the members in the back seat from different angles, was finally aroused with real interest.

She widened her gentle eyes slightly, "After listening to you guys, then I really should see this 'magical' Mr. To be evaluated by you guys like this, he is definitely not an ordinary person."

During the conversation, the car also arrived safely at the entrance of the shop named "Shancheng Paoge Black Tea Hot Pot" under Xian Enjing's steady driving, passing through the overlapping streets of Shancheng.

Everyone, who had already made a reservation for a private room through the information phone given by Lin Xiuyuan, was led by an enthusiastic waiter the moment they got off the car, passing through the antique shop front full of Bayu customs, and walked into the booked riverside private room.

As soon as the private room door was pushed open, everyone was instantly attracted by the scene in front of them.

Outside the window facing the door, it was the famous Hongyadong night view.

The golden stilt building complex was built along the mountain, layer upon layer, brightly lit, like a brilliant palace suspended in the air.

The entire building complex was reflected on the sparkling river below, light and shadow intertwined, dreamy and illusory, super feeling.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Look! That angle must be great for taking pictures!"

"It's worthy of being a recommended shop, this view is great!"

Seeing this, several people took out their phones one after another and started taking pictures of the invincible night view outside the window.

Then order food, serve food.

Soon, a beautifully shaped nine-grid copper pot was brought up, with a bright red and spicy beef tallow pot base rolling inside.

The rich aroma instantly filled the air, and various fresh ingredients were also placed on the table one after another.

After everything was ready, everyone who was queuing up to take pictures in front of the window finally sat down contentedly, surrounded by the steaming hot pot, and officially started the long-awaited Shancheng hot pot feast tonight.

And when everyone was dipping ingredients a bit unfamiliar, enjoying the refreshing feeling of spicy and fresh fragrance exploding in their mouths, Park Jiyeon, who was sitting by the window, suddenly turned her head to look at Park Soyeon, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

She asked a sentence in a childish but unusually serious tone.

"Unnie, speaking of which, how long do you think you can date your brother-in-law? It's been more than three years now, so amazing."

"How long to date?"

Park Soyeon, who heard the sound, had the chopsticks holding a piece of tender beef pause slightly in the air, as if she didn't expect the youngest to ask this suddenly.

Then she put the beef into the oil dish to dip, and then thought about this question seriously.

A few seconds later, a gentle smile appeared on her face, "I really didn't think too much about this, because I'm aiming for marriage."

Park Soyeon said this sentence naturally, as if this was the most natural thing in the world.

Although she was privately teased by everyone as love-brained, Park Soyeon's "love-brained" was not the type who loved one after another and invested blindly.

But rather the type who held a very pious, loyal, and idealistic attitude toward love, and once identified, hoped to bear fruit and spend a lifetime together.

"Marriage, such a strange word."

Li Juli, who ate a piece of soft and glutinous brown sugar glutinous rice cake, shook her head with some emotion upon hearing this.

As a "player" and "non-marriageist," she basically never had the thought of "marriage."

She was more inclined to that kind of dramatic, impulsive encounter and acquaintance.

Immediately after leaving a passionate and beautiful memory in each other's lives, she would dashingly go their separate ways and pursue the next wonderful segment.

The constraints and longevity of marriage lacked attraction for her.

At this time, Park Jiyeon asked again, "Then Unnie, how long do you think you have to date before you can reach the point of talking about marriage? Is there a rough time feeling."

"How long to date before considering marriage?"

Park Soyeon's expression became more serious this time, thinking carefully, "I really haven't thought about a specific number of years, I feel that it is more important for things to come naturally. When two people feel the timing is right, and the feelings are stable and deep enough, they will naturally consider that step."

"As for now, we just feel that dating is quite good, enjoying the sweetness and companionship of the present, and temporarily haven't specifically discussed marriage."

After speaking, Park Soyeon also looked at Park Jiyeon with some amusement and confusion.

"Zhiyan-ah, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly so curious about these things? You didn't care much about these things before."

In her impression, the youngest Park Jiyeon was more lively and cheerful, focusing on dancing and acting.

Although she was gossipy about topics like relationships, she rarely asked about details so directly.

As Park Soyeon's voice fell, others at the dining table also cast their gazes at Park Jiyeon, who raised these questions, with the same curiosity in their eyes.

As a result, the youngest, who had always been known for her 4D, lively, and careless image in the team, was now supporting her chin with her palm, giving people a deep illusion.

Her gaze didn't look at anyone, but tilted her head slightly to look at the golden Hongyadong night view outside the window.

That incomparably exquisite side face looked unusually gentle under the reflection of the lights outside the window, even carrying a hint of confusion and longing that didn't quite fit her usual temperament.

Then, in the atmosphere that gradually quieted down in the private room, under the gaze of everyone, Park Jiyeon opened her mouth and said a king bomb in a tone that was like talking to herself but incomparably clear.

"I just want to get married a little."

??

???

"Pfft!! Cough cough cough!!!"

"Ha?? Zhiyan, what did you say?!"

"Zhiyan-ah, are you confused by the spiciness?!"

Once this was said, everyone in the private room, whether they were eating or drinking, almost choked to death or choked to death there.

After a burst of crazy coughing and exclamations, even Xian Enjing, who had always been the most steady and gentle, had to look at Park Jiyeon with an extremely shocked look.

Almost shouted out, "Zhiyan-ah! Are you crazy???"
