Chapter 52: 51

In the apartment.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was eating breakfast, glanced at the dialogue box on the screen, then looked up at the opposite side. "Ever since your sister learned about the future, she's been holding her breath. The reason you gave her last night, I can only say that Jin Xiaoyuan really hit the jackpot."

"She deserved it."

Krystal, who stayed at the villa last night, returned to 2013 with Lin Xiuyuan after waking up, and even specially packed a portion from the breakfast shop in her memory.

On their way back to the apartment with breakfast, they happened to catch Zheng Xiuyan throwing a tantrum in the practice room.

By the time the two entered the apartment, Zheng Xiuyan had gone to find Xueli.

Now, the two were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and Zheng Xiuyan also told Lin Xiuyuan the ins and outs of the matter via text message.

"Then it can be considered as venting some anger now."

Just as Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, he was denied by Krystal. "Still not enough, because I think Unnie's matter, she has to take some blame. Although the choice was Unnie's own, if it weren't for her matchmaking, the choices would definitely have been more."

"I'm just a passerby, I don't understand."

Lin Xiuyuan took a few bites of breakfast and continued, "On the contrary, is there really no problem with you staying out all night? I'm really worried that when the tavern opens over there tomorrow, Jessica will come with a knife."

"What are you thinking? I'm not a 20-year-old girl anymore, I've been living on my own for a long time. I have my own house, Jessica doesn't know whether I go back to live or not."

After explaining the situation, Krystal turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her. "By the way, your tavern at my place opens tomorrow, do you want me to help you call some people to support the scene? It can't be that there's not a single person at the opening."

"Aren't you a person?" Lin Xiuyuan asked back.

"Just me and you? That would be too deserted."

Looking at Krystal's irrepressible expression, Lin Xiuyuan expressed, "Didn't I tell you before? This isn't a real tavern, just a contact point. Having too many people coming and going is more likely to cause problems."

Speaking of this, he gave an example. "Think about it, if Zheng Xiuyan was sitting in the tavern over there like last night, and then suddenly someone else walked in and ran into her, and the video news on the phone was reporting Jessica's overseas activities at this time, how would you explain that?"

But even though Lin Xiuyuan gave such an example, Krystal still insisted on her point of view. "That's a matter to consider after opening. It can be lively at the opening. Besides, when you opened here, YoonA Unnie and Tara and the others came, didn't they?"

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan also heard a hint of strangeness in her tone.

"Something's not right, Krystal, are you thinking of something bad?"

"No bad things, only good things."

Krystal gave a shallow smile. "I just think I need to introduce some friends to you in 2025."

"Ah? Why?"

Lin Xiuyuan remembered very clearly that she didn't want him to make friends before, just take that love-brained girl he met earlier as an example.

Every time Krystal saw him chatting with her, she would tease him a few times.

And Krystal, when asked, didn't talk nonsense and gave the reason very straightforwardly. "Haven't you noticed that you've been staying in this space-time more and more lately? In 2025, you either play games or rest, basically never going out. Only here do you go out shopping and eating."

Without social interaction, there are no stories, and even fewer bonds.

Thinking of this, Krystal felt that her idea of hiding this boy had to change.

Lin Xiuyuan, who didn't expect Krystal to say this, couldn't help but laugh. "I'm originally a person from this space-time, so I'm definitely more familiar with this side."

"So I'll introduce a few friends to you over there, so you can go out and shop over there too. And don't you like mature women with curves? 2025 is full of this style, guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Hiss~ Krystal, you're a bit like..."

"Shut up! If you can't talk, just eat your breakfast properly."

"Hehe~"

The next afternoon · The tavern in 2025

Lin Xiuyuan was unpacking takeout bag after bag, all of which were fruits and snacks.

Yesterday, he couldn't resist Krystal after all and could only do as she wished.

At the same time, in order not to lose face for her, he specially ordered some snacks in advance, at least making it look like something.

Otherwise, how to entertain guests with just a few drinks? It would be a bit of a lack of hospitality.

And Lin Xiuyuan always had a feeling that Krystal would give him a big surprise.

Sure enough, just as he had finished setting up the fruits and snacks on the bar and was about to sit down to scroll through some videos, the tavern door was gently pushed open from the outside.

The resulting airflow shook the small wind chime that Liu Zhimin had given him.

It tinkled, crisp and pleasant.

Lin Xiuyuan looked up and saw Krystal, who had left the villa last night, slowly walking into the tavern with two beautiful figures.

Then, seeing Lin Xiuyuan, she greeted him from afar. "Good afternoon, yo, you even got some fruits and snacks, looks like you've put your heart into it."

But Lin Xiuyuan didn't answer, just stared at the two behind her, slightly dazed.

He never expected that Krystal would still be in contact with them, and it looked like the relationship wasn't shallow?

"What's wrong, surprised?"

Krystal over there saw his shocked face, laughed first, then turned to introduce, "Come, let me introduce you to the small boss of this tavern, Lin Xiuyuan, Huaxia person. Although his bartending skills are still being honed, his ratio control is very accurate, and the taste is very good."

"Boss is boss, can you not add a 'small' word?" Lin Xiuyuan said speechlessly.

Krystal over there completely ignored his complaint and asked with a smile, "I don't need to introduce these two beside me, right? You should know them."

Lin Xiuyuan, when asked, clicked his tongue. "It's hard not to know them."

After all, one was Xian Enjing, whom he had just seen the day before yesterday, although it was the long-haired lady version of 2025.

One was Xian Enjing, whom he had just seen the day before yesterday, now with long, gentle hair.

Compared to the girl with short, sharp hair and early edge in 2013, she now had a more mature charm and was full of style.

The other was Pei Xiuzhi, the "National First Love" who was popular in 2013.

More than ten years later, she was no longer the girl with spiritual energy back then. She had a little less purity and liveliness, but a little more composure and confidence after the precipitation of time.

When Lin Xiuyuan looked at the two opposite, Xian Enjing and Pei Xiuzhi were also examining this young boy.

Because this was the first male Krystal had introduced to them since they had known her for so long.

When they heard the news last night, they were still a bit surprised, thinking what kind of mature man it would be.

However, looking at it now, daebak, it was actually a sunny-style little puppy with an age difference of more than ten years.

Especially Pei Xiuzhi, when she saw Lin Xiuyuan's clean and neat features and clear eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

Then Krystal, as the middleman, took the two of them to sit by the bar, sipping small wine, eating fruits, and getting to know Lin Xiuyuan properly.

During the period, Lin Xiuyuan wanted to ask Krystal several times, is this what you call mature women with curves?

Xian Enjing counts, but Pei Xiuzhi...

But before he found a chance to ask, the wind chime at the door rang again.

Jessica walked in with her friends. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
