Chapter 53: 52

"Jennie, are you in Seoul?"

"Seoul? Yes, Unnie, what's up?"

"Xiujing's friend is opening a tavern today, do you want to go over and sit for a while?"

"Xiujing Unnie, sure."

Inside the tavern.

Looking at the figure who followed Jessica in, Lin Xiuyuan's reaction was even more shocked than when he saw Xian Enjing and the other two earlier. He widened his eyes, looked at Krystal, full of disbelief, wanting to ask what was going on.

But Krystal at this time had no time to pay attention to him, because the other party had already stepped forward for him in advance, getting up to welcome Jessica and the others.

"Hi, long time no see, Jennie."

"Jessica, you're late."

Jennie looked strangely at Lin Xiuyuan, who hadn't moved behind the bar. Her expression was subtle for a moment, but she quickly restrained it, smiling and greeting Krystal. "Indeed long time no see, Unnie, the last time we met was last Christmas, right?"

As for Jessica, she glanced at Krystal, then swept a glance at Lin Xiuyuan behind her. She originally wanted to complain about why he didn't come to greet her personally, but she couldn't care about that now.

Because Xian Enjing and Pei Xiuzhi had already stood up and nodded to greet her.

Jennie also politely bowed to greet the two.

Behind the bar, Lin Xiuyuan watched this scene, the initial shock having been replaced by a certain helplessness and weariness.

Although he had worked in Seoul in 2013 for more than a year, he had always been uncomfortable with this kind of social etiquette where the young and old are in order and seniority is supreme, and he had always looked down upon it.

So as long as he was off work, he almost never participated in any social engagements.

But even so, he still walked out of the bar while silently complaining about these red tapes in his heart.

Under Jessica's gaze and Krystal's introduction, he had a brief meeting with Jennie.

He looked at the petite girl in front of him, and Jennie also looked at the sunny and handsome boy. Both of them smiled at each other.

Immediately after, Lin Xiuyuan took them to the sofa area and also greeted Krystal to "call" Xian Enjing and Pei Xiuzhi over together.

Jennie, who sat down, looked at Krystal, who was running around like a hostess.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Jessica. "Unnie, what is that handsome guy to Xiujing Unnie?"

"Nothing."

Jessica denied it without any hesitation.

At the same time, Pei Xiuzhi was also chatting with Xian Enjing.

"Unnie, do you think the relationship between Xiujing and this person is a bit too close? Someone who is usually too lazy to move, today actually helped act as a waiter."

Facing Pei Xiuzhi's curiosity, Xian Enjing, with long hair, also looked at the two by the bar strangely. "I don't quite understand. If it's true, this little brother Lin should be post-00s, hiss, then Xiujing is robbing the cradle too hard."

Pei Xiuzhi's eyes brightened again after hearing Xian Enjing's answer, and she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "I also like young little puppies with eight-pack abs."

"If you like it, Xiuzhi, can't you just choose anyone around you?"

Xian Enjing, who knew very well what kind of personality her friend had, laughed at Pei Xiuzhi's words, because she basically didn't lack handsome guys around her.

And regarding Xian Enjing's complaint, Pei Xiuzhi didn't feel anything. She liked handsome guys openly, and the whole internet knew it.

But at this moment, she watched Lin Xiuyuan's clear and smiling eyes from afar, and the joy in her eyes was no longer hidden. "But I've never seen this style. Enjing, have you ever seen a boy with such clean eyes?"

Xian Enjing looked at Lin Xiuyuan, and after a few seconds, shook her head gently. "It's indeed rare. I don't know how he maintains his eyes; after using them for so long, there's not a single impurity. I kind of want to learn from him."

The few were chatting lively when Krystal sent the drinks Lin Xiuyuan had mixed by hand to the table in front of them, smiling. "Try it, it's quite good."

"I haven't seen you so busy at home, Krystal, what, does this small tavern have your shares?"

As Krystal just sat down beside Jessica, the other party's cold snort followed, making Xian Enjing and the others laugh out loud.

Krystal immediately waved her hand. "No, just friends helping friends, I'm helping him out, it's very normal."

"Xiujing, my house hasn't been tidied up for several days..."

"Out, call the cleaning lady yourself."

Pei Xiuzhi's joke hadn't even finished when Krystal reached out a hand and pressed her gossiping face back into the seat, causing everyone to laugh.

Pei Xiuzhi, whose face was being pressed, complained, "Xiujing, you're too double-standard."

At this time, Jennie also noticed Lin Xiuyuan's youth and asked in a low voice, "Unnie, how old is he?"

Krystal, hearing the question, took a sip of her drink before answering, "Lin Xiuyuan? He's 21, he hasn't had his 22nd birthday this year yet."

Just as she finished speaking, Jessica remembered a certain conversation before. "Wait a minute, isn't he 18?"

18?

Krystal, who was questioned, thought of something and immediately turned her head to give Lin Xiuyuan behind the bar a white eye, but soon laughed and looked back at Jessica. "No, he was just joking with you, Unnie."

Pei Xiuzhi beside her understood the fastest and immediately couldn't help but hug Xian Enjing's arm, her shoulders shaking.

And as the oldest person in the sofa, who doesn't usually surf the internet much, Jessica still can't understand this 'joke' until now.

But it's true that she's unhappy.

"This can be a joke too."

Hearing the anger in Jessica's tone, what else could Krystal say? She could only continue to clean up the mess for Lin Xiuyuan. "I can only say that our generation gap is a bit big, Unnie, more than ten years apart, you just have to understand."

"Tsk tsk tsk, hey, Zheng Xiujing~"

"I'm here, Unnie."

Just after responding to Jessica, Krystal noticed that Lin Xiuyuan was answering a phone call over there, and thinking of something, she immediately got up. "That, you guys chat first, I'll go over."

Jessica, watching this scene from behind, felt a sense of being abandoned, so she issued a complaint toward that side. "Hey, Zheng Xiujing~"

Everyone laughed together.

Behind the bar, Lin Xiuyuan had just hung up the phone when he saw Krystal walking over.

"Your sister seems to be calling you."

"Ignore her." Krystal ignored what was behind her and asked him, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Lin Xiuyuan laughed this time. "You're a bit overstepping, Krystal."

Facing this, Krystal just raised her eyebrows. "Unnie is here, are you sure you want S. M people to come over?"

And Lin Xiuyuan smiled again and shook his head. "No, they just knew I was opening today and called to congratulate me, they don't have time to come over."

Krystal, having received the answer, first grinned, then snorted again. "Cut, what are you pretending for. I haven't been an idol, I could squeeze out time for death schedules ten years ago, the little girls now are just pretentious."

Just as she was speaking, Xian Enjing on the sofa behind her received a call and shouted to Krystal, "Xiujing, Jiyeon is here."

Jiyeon?

Park Jiyeon?

A married woman? ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
