Chapter 62: 61 Park Jiyeon's Hide-and-Seek Contest~

"It's so strange, sitting here, I always feel like it's still 2013, completely unaware that it's already 2025."

In the tavern.

On the sofa, Park Jiyeon suddenly laughed. "Oppa, are you deliberately creating this feeling, or are you just too lazy to change the decoration drawings?"

"Since you've already said it, why ask me."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was over at the bar, casually took a bottle of drink for Park Jiyeon, and was too lazy to even mix the wine.

Park Jiyeon took the drink, looked up at the TV diagonally above.

Looking at some real-time news playing inside, her expression was thoughtful. "Actually, I really want to go out and walk around, to see what this space-time has become."

"If you want to, then go out now. Drive around, if you want to get off the car, you can, as long as you don't go to places with too many people."

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan who was talking after sitting down beside her, Park Jiyeon shook her head.

"Forget it, although I love to play, I also understand what crisis is. If I really want to walk, wait until I go back to 2013 to walk. Over there, at most I'll be surrounded by fans. If I'm exposed here, I guess it won't be that simple."

"Indeed." Lin Xiuyuan nodded in agreement.

Just as he was speaking, "Ding-dong~"

A doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation.

This sudden movement startled Park Jiyeon, and the drink in her hand almost spilled, then she grabbed it firmly again.

Then she looked at Lin Xiuyuan and asked in a low voice. "Who is it."

"Should be some passersby again."

Lin Xiuyuan said while walking towards the bar, preparing to watch the monitor.

But when he glanced at the monitor screen, his whole person froze instantly.

In just one breath, he waved at Park Jiyeon. "Damn, something big is going to happen, Jiyeon, look for a place to hide, something big is bad, it's going to be finished."

Park Jiyeon also hurriedly stood up, walked over to look at the monitor screen, and was struck by lightning.

Just because under the lens of the monitor, there was a woman who was almost exactly the same as her standing outside the door, and beside her were Park Hyomin and Li Juli whom she had seen this morning.

And that woman who was exactly the same as her, wasn't she the "old woman" she often complained about recently?

So Park Jiyeon was a bit panicked. "What to do, Oppa, where should I hide."

Toilet? No, if someone goes in, they will find it.

But besides the toilet, this small tavern of several dozen square meters had no place to hide people at all.

In a hurry, Lin Xiuyuan thought of something.

Pulled Park Jiyeon and walked towards that side.

Outside the door.

After a while, looking at the big dragon cub who pressed the doorbell again, Park Hyomin remembered what she had said before. "Didn't you and Enjing say it was membership-only here, it wouldn't really be that you can't enter without membership."

"Not necessarily." The big dragon cub recalled, there was indeed such a statement that day.

"I told you to make a phone call first." Li Juli complained from the side.

"I..."

Before she finished speaking, the wooden door creaked open, Lin Xiuyuan stood inside the door, looking like he was "busy just now", and the water stains on his hands were also explaining everything for him.

"Sorry, I was busy just now."

The big dragon cub outside the door smiled. "It's okay, we came to disturb you, is it okay."

"It's okay, it's okay. You guys came to visit, my small tavern is simply shining, welcome welcome, please come in, please come in."

While speaking, Lin Xiuyuan welcomed the three in, just frowned slightly after looking up at the sky.

But when he turned to face the three, his face changed back to a standard smile.

And as he closed the door, the big dragon cub who had already entered took the initiative to speak. "Didn't I say before, next time I'll bring people

"Hyomin and Juli, there's basically no one among the fans of the Korean Wave in our country who doesn't know you two."

After a sigh of admiration, Lin Xiuyuan politely and enthusiastically stepped forward to greet the two, introducing his own name and status.

After a few pleasantries, he intended to arrange for the three of them to sit on the sofa to continue chatting.

As it turned out, Park Hyomin walked to the front of the bar with a smile and patted a barstool, "Coming to a tavern to drink, sitting on a sofa is boring; barstools are better."

Behind her, seeing this scene, Lin Xiuyuan winced.

The next second, he returned to a normal smile and said, "No problem, then sit here, it's all fine, sit wherever you like."

He then walked into the bar area, stood in front of them, and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Do you have a menu?" Park Hyomin raised an eyebrow and smiled, the charm of a newlywed inadvertently flowing out.

Although Lin Xiuyuan's heart wavered for a moment, the panic he felt at this moment far outweighed the enjoyment, so he quickly shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately, not yet."

"Then just make whatever. I heard from Jiyeon that your bartending skills are quite good, so don't let your idol down."

Regarding Park Hyomin's remark, Little Dragon Cub hurriedly pulled her arm, "Unnie, stop teasing. That was just because I was young and ignorant back then."

Li Juli, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and added, "You still like him, don't you, Lin Xiuyuan-xi~"

However, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't answer that this time; he could only force a laugh, nod while bracing himself, and lower his head to start mixing drinks.

But to mix a drink, he needed to constantly move around, grab bottles, measure, shake the shaker...

This resulted in Park Jiyeon, who was hiding under the bar, being incredibly embarrassed.

She pressed her knees tightly against her chest, trying to shrink herself into the smallest volume possible, not even daring to breathe too heavily.

Watching this young man walk back and forth in front of her, stopping right in front of her from time to time.

The proximity and the perfect alignment of height made her face and ears flush red.

Feeling the other person stop directly in front of her several times, the gap between them was so close she could almost feel the subtle movement of air caused by the friction of his clothing.

This situation scared her into subconsciously holding her breath, fearing that her own breath would "puff" out and create some unspeakable misunderstanding.

But as her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing grew heavier, unable to hold her breath any longer, she finally had to let out a long, hot sigh, which hit the "south wall" directly.

And then...

When Lin Xiuyuan above handed a cocktail to Park Hyomin and stood still at a certain spot at the bar, he suddenly felt a rhythmic puff of hot air hit him; the breath coming toward his nose almost made the hot-blooded young man lose his composure.

Terrified, he straightened his body, reached his hand into the ice cabinet nearby, and grabbed a handful of ice cubes with his bare hands to fiddle with.

This situation left Park Hyomin and the others stunned, "What is this? What are you doing?"

"Oh, this is to ensure the drink reaches the best taste. A bartender's hand temperature cannot be too high, so I need to use ice cubes to cool them down, otherwise, contact with the glass wall will affect the temperature and appearance of the drink."

The quick-witted Lin Xiuyuan, once asked, immediately began his straight-faced nonsense.

These words sounded so convincing that even Park Hyomin and the others were taken in by him.

Of course, this was what Lin Xiuyuan assumed.

In reality, the thoughts in Park Hyomin and the others' minds were: Where did this silly kid come from? How can he say such nonsense?
