Chapter 60: 59 Attend 'your' funeral

~7 min read 1,269 words

"What a coincidence, Jiyeon."*2

Looking at Park Jiyeon who entered the door, Xueli's first reaction in her mind was to look at Lin Xiuyuan's side.

As a result, when she met his gaze, she only received a smile from the other party, and didn't notice anything wrong.

At the same time, Park Jiyeon had already walked to the sofa and sat down. "Xueli, aren't you busy with the comeback? How come you have time to come here to sit."

Xueli, who was asked, repeated the reason she had just told Lin Xiuyuan, and asked back. "Then what about you, Jiyeon, how come you are so free?"

To this, Park Jiyeon's answer made the two silent.

"You guys don't know the situation of our group, I'm very free at the moment, basically staying here every day playing games with Oppa."

Tara's situation, everyone knows.

This made Xueli, who wasn't intentionally lifting the scar, a bit regretful for asking that sentence just now.

Fortunately, Park Jiyeon didn't care much, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and pulled out a chessboard from under a cabinet beside the sofa. "You guys are just in time, play a game of flying chess with me, Oppa complains that I'm childish every time he plays with me."

"I'm not complaining that you're childish, it's that you're a rascal."

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan, who brought over a glass of juice, smiled helplessly. "How can anyone play a game and lose and then play a rascal, and then let the winner retreat several steps, giving you a few more chances to start over."

"Ah~ Oppa~"

Park Jiyeon, who was exposed, was a bit broken, and turned her head to be a coquettish whine.

At the same time, it also made Xueli and Zheng Xiujing, who understood the situation, laugh out loud, and they all teased Park Jiyeon one after another.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

And after this small episode, the three girls on the sofa really started to play flying chess, chatting about some interesting things recently while playing, and occasionally pulling Lin Xiuyuan to complain about some comments on the internet together.

Just like that, after playing about three games, Park Jiyeon, who took another sip of juice, looked at the empty plate beside her. "Oppa, is there anything to eat?"

"Nuts and fruits are all there, other things, have to wait."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was playing with his phone on the high stool, raised his eyebrows and answered.

"Is there anything I want to eat? I want to eat rice cakes and fried chicken, Oppa~"

"No."

Hearing this answer, Park Jiyeon grabbed Zheng Xiujing in the next second. "Xiujing, let's go. Let's go out to buy fried chicken, it's right next door."

"Ah, I'm not hungry." Zheng Xiujing was slightly stunned.

"But I'm hungry."

After Park Jiyeon said this coquettishly, she pulled Zheng Xiujing and got up to go out, leaving Xueli alone here, who was confused.

Until she saw Lin Xiuyuan's smile looking at the gate, she asked belatedly. "Mr. Lin, is there anything you are looking for me?"

And her question made Lin Xiuyuan a bit surprised. "Mm? Why do you ask that."

"Just feel like you called Jiyeon to branch off Xiujing."

Hearing Lin Xiuyuan's question back, Xueli knew she guessed right, but she was also more confused. "But if there's anything, just tell me directly, don't we already have each other as friends."

Seeing his idea being exposed, Lin Xiuyuan didn't hide it either, laughed. "So smart."

Then he added. "Mainly thinking that since you've come, it would be better to talk face to face. And also a bit worried that Xiujing would be uncomfortable after hearing it, so I branched her off."

Besides that, for some words about 'secrets', Lin Xiuyuan still didn't dare to leave messages on the internet.

Face-to-face communication is the best way to keep secrets.

"What is it?"

Now Xueli is even more curious.

Lin Xiuyuan pointed to this small tavern with a smile. "It's been on trial for a few days, I'm thinking of holding a formal opening party here in two days, but only inviting tavern members to come. So if Xiujing is here, it's not easy for me to tell you."

Xueli nodded, obviously understanding Lin Xiuyuan's concerns, but also more curious about this party. "What kind of party is it?"

Because not long ago, she participated in many parties under Jin Xiaoyuan's 'invitation', so she thought this time Lin Xiuyuan's side was also like that.

As a result, the other party was slightly upright. "A funeral party."

Bang~

As Lin Xiuyuan said this sentence, Xueli's brain shrank instantly, exclaiming. "What? Funeral?"

"Mm, funeral."

Lin Xiuyuan, who said this, thought of the suggestion Zheng Xiuyan gave him a few days ago.

"What method?"

"Isn't it YoonA's birthday at the end of the month? You can say you're having a birthday party at the tavern, and then call Xueli over, and when you get there, say the birthday party is in another place, and let her follow you."

"Ah, Lin Yun'er's birthday? Will she be willing to help cover?"

"She will."

"Are you sure it's not forcing her?"

Zheng Xiuyan's idea was actually quite good, but it wasn't what Lin Xiuyuan wanted. He felt that since he wanted to apply medicine to the girl in front of him, he should apply strong medicine directly.

The style of being hesitant and dragging feet is not what he wants.

So after considering for a few days, he thought of inviting her in the way of a 'party'.

And Xueli was shocked by the word 'funeral' for a while, trying to clear her thoughts, but couldn't react immediately. "Really didn't say it wrong? Is it really a 'funeral' party?"

"Mm, so the attire on that day needs to be as serious as possible."

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan's serious expression, Xueli, although puzzled, although confused, still nodded gently, indicating she knew.

After another while, Park Jiyeon and Zheng Xiujing, who went out to buy food, returned to the tavern.

Zheng Xiujing, who felt a bit strange after going out, asked Xueli as soon as she entered if anything had happened.

Xueli shook her head and denied it, then Zheng Xiujing felt relieved, but her eyes still swept towards Lin Xiuyuan suspiciously.

Always feel like something is wrong.

Later, the three played many games, until the lights were on and the night fell, and they got up to say goodbye.

Park Jiyeon proposed without hesitation to have dinner with Lin Xiuyuan, while Xueli and Zheng Xiujing needed to rush back to the company to rehearse, busy with the comeback work.

And before leaving, Xueli still couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Before saying goodbye, Xueli couldn't suppress her curiosity, and walked to Lin Xiuyuan's side under Zheng Xiujing's gaze, and asked softly. "Oppa, can I ask whose 'funeral' that party is going to attend?"

Nothing 'Mr. Lin', something 'Oppa', these girls are always so interesting.

Lin Xiuyuan laughed first, then thought for a while, and whispered a sentence in her ear.

"Actually, there's nothing to hide from you, it's just taking you to attend 'your' funeral."

As soon as this was said, Xueli was stunned, and walked out of the tavern blankly, until she returned to the company before she came back to her senses.

Zheng Xiujing saw her stunned all the way, and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say just now?"

Xueli hesitated for a moment, and laughed lightly. "Nothing, it's just that I have to go shopping for clothes tomorrow." ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
