Chapter 46

On the sofa, Xian Enjing, who was playing the guitar, and Park Xiaomin on the side, suddenly looked at each other sideways, and then looked at the boy and girl at the bar with great tacit understanding.

And the arc of the girl leaning over was almost stuck in front of the boy.

What concerned them most wasn't how intimate this posture was, but that the boy seemed to have no interest in their little dragon cub.

This point truly made them a bit unacceptable.

Suddenly, Park Xiaomin noticed that the boy and girl who were talking actually looked towards her side together, as if the topic was revolving around her.

This immediately aroused the curiosity of the gossip little screen girl who was a master of the Gossip Sect and under Sunny's tutelage, making her heart itch terribly.

As for the bar side.

Lin Xiuyuan, who heard Park Jiyeon's later sentence, flicked his finger on the wine glass, and the crisp sound attracted Park Jiyeon's gaze back, "Jiyeon, although I don't chase stars much, I still understand basic news and knowledge."

"Ah?" Park Jiyeon felt a bit guilty.

"In terms of bridging the gap, how could finding Park Xiaomin be more convenient than finding you? You and IU are best friends, I'm not wrong, right? And that person also has a close relationship with IU, so I don't believe you don't know the other party."

Now Park Jiyeon's little face was completely red, and the guilt and panic of telling a lie made her speechless all of a sudden.

And Lin Xiuyuan, who seemed to see through her thoughts, continued, "Let me guess. Let me find Park Xiaomin, and then find Goo Hara. One of these two didn't have a good time later, and the other passed away."

Speaking of this, he looked at the little girl in front of him with a flushed face and dodging eyes with interest, "I can understand the latter. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, this is indeed true. But Park Xiaomin's life is quite good. What do you want to do?"

Being hit in the heart one after another, Park Jiyeon was finally a bit panicked, so she hurriedly explained, "Oppa, I don't have too many thoughts, I just want to introduce unni and the others to you, and try to get familiar with them. If I encounter any problems in the future, I can pull unni."

And she added very seriously and earnestly, emphasizing that she absolutely didn't mean to let Lin Xiuyuan bring Park Xiaomin in, really not at all, just wanted to take this opportunity to let him get familiar with a few unnis.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her deeply after hearing the answer, his gaze as if he could see through what she was thinking.

Until Park Jiyeon's little head hung lower and lower, almost lying on the bar.

Only then did he respond softly, "Jiyeon, if you have any thoughts, just say them directly. Don't beat around the bush next time. I was willing to observe the development of things, so if you tell me directly, I won't disagree. On the contrary, circling around like this will make people feel uncomfortable."

"I'm sorry, oppa~" The little dragon cub who knew she was wrong apologized without ambiguity.

However, Lin Xiuyuan, who was also a young person, wasn't angry. After all, he was just as reckless before.

As long as the starting point wasn't bad intentions like calculation or scheming, everything was easy to talk about.

And Park Jiyeon, who apologized, looked up at Lin Xiuyuan cautiously again, and after seeing that he still had a smile, she asked, "Then oppa, how do you want to get to know Sulli?"

"Your idea is quite good, just follow yours. Besides, Park Xiaomin's figure is indeed quite sexy."

"Mm??? Oppa, do you really like married women?"

2025.

After finishing the promotional interview in the morning, Krystal rarely finished work early and was planning to go back to the apartment to have a good rest.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the house, she was called out by a phone call from Jessica, saying that they had to have dinner together no matter what.

Although she wanted to refuse, Jessica's attitude was even tougher, "No, you have to come over, otherwise I'll tell Mom that you're keeping a little puppy."

This sentence made Krystal laugh and cry, but she really had no reason to refute, so she had to turn around and go out again.

The evening breeze was cool. Stepping on the point of the lights coming on, Krystal arrived at the agreed restaurant and sat in front of Jessica.

Then she complained helplessly, "Ah, unni, what on earth do you want to do? It's so rare for me to get off work normally once."

Looking at this sister in front of her, Jessica suddenly had the illusion that a grown daughter can't be kept at home.

"Ya, Zheng Xiujing, when you ran to that person's side as soon as you landed that day, why didn't you say you could rest? And you were smiling so happily. Now that I'm calling you out for a meal, you can complain about it, right?"

"I'm not complaining about eating, it's just that what you said earlier about keeping someone, that's a bit too much."

When Krystal said this, she actually didn't have much confidence, because her act of blindly transferring money and sending gifts to the door was indeed no different from keeping someone.

It was just that Jessica didn't know, so she naturally wouldn't admit it.

And Jessica, who was told this by her, looked funny, "This isn't what I said, it's what spread from your crew. Seriously, Xiujing, this news has already reached the ears of many people."

"It shouldn't be that bad." Now Krystal had to be a bit serious.

"It's just gossip for now, but I sincerely hope you don't turn it into reality. I always feel that that kid approaching us has some purpose and is ill-intentioned."

Looking at Jessica still holding a 'suspicious' attitude towards Lin Xiuyuan, Krystal couldn't help but think of the topic they discussed about her unni before, so she exhaled softly and sighed secretly in her heart.

Jessica, who saw Krystal's silence, was a bit worried, "Ya, you wouldn't really have taken a fancy to that kid, would you?"

"No, unni, I just feel that he is quite easy to talk to. My feelings are not that cheap, and I won't send them out so casually."

Krystal wasn't joking about this sentence. Although Lin Xiuyuan was quite good, he also held everything from her past that she was thinking about.

But compared to falling in love with the other party, she would rather let the other party take a few bites like a cabbage.

After all, as she gets older, feelings are more sensitive than the body.

Hearing that Krystal's tone didn't sound fake, Jessica felt a little relieved. Wasn't calling her out tonight just to probe this question?

But right now, Krystal became a bit emotional after she mentioned Lin Xiuyuan, and various thoughts surged wildly in her mind.

Looking at Jessica in front of her, thinking of the last call with the young unni, after a while, she actually asked the other party an unexpected question, "Unni, you say if there was a chance for you to go back to the past, what would you do?"

"Go back to the past?"

Not understanding why Krystal suddenly asked such an outrageous question, Jessica still thought about it, "I don't know. If it were a few years ago, I would consider this kind of question. But now I just feel it's a joke. It's impossible, why waste thoughts on it?"

She said this lightly, but it was meaningful.

It made Krystal, who understood her words, look at her unni with some heartache.

Because Jessica's subtext was very clear—a few years ago, she hadn't fallen so deep and still had a chance to turn back.

Now? She couldn't get out.

Jessica, who noticed Krystal's look, waved her hand very relievedly, "Don't look at me like that. Why did you suddenly ask like this? Did you think of something?"

"You could say that." Krystal nodded.

"So what did you think of doing if you went back?"

"To see someone."

As soon as these words came out, Jessica fell silent, because she knew who this person was.

Even everyone knew who this person was.

And Krystal, who answered the question, still wanted to try one more time with her unni, "Unni, if, I'm saying if, what if there really was a chance to go back, would you be willing to go back and change it?"

Although Jessica didn't know what was wrong with Krystal tonight, this question did touch some of her deepest thoughts, so after being silent for a moment, she nodded slowly.

"If there really was such a chance, then who would be willing to give it up, right?"
