Chapter 71: Sulli paying the

In the evening, the rain that had been falling all day finally stopped.

On the villa's sofa, Lin Xiuyuan woke up from a nap, his first reaction was to look down at the blanket that had appeared on him.

Then he turned to look at the few figures sitting around the coffee table, half-closing his eyes and teasing, "I say, you guys have been playing games all day, aren't you tired?"

"It's okay, the game is just an attachment, mainly chatting and gossiping, not tired at all."

It was Park Jiyeon who spoke. Although she didn't like gossiping, under the influence of Park Hyomin, the inner disciple of the Gossip Sect leader, she was somewhat influenced by some bad habits.

Lin Xiuyuan sat up and picked up a piece of watermelon to bite into. "Then are you planning to chat all night?"

"That won't do, I have to get up early tomorrow to catch a flight."

Park Jiyeon immediately waved her hand to refuse, then added with a smile, "Fortunately, oppa, your 'funeral' party was held in time, otherwise I would have really missed this gathering, that would be too regrettable."

"Where are you going, Jiyeon?"

Sulli blinked, asking curiously.

"Going to LA, the company's section chief is going crazy, wanting to see if we have any popularity over there. I really want to print out our pile of data from here and smash it directly on his head, letting him see what is called wishful thinking, fantasy."

Watching Park Jiyeon, whose tone was filled with indignation and who was waving her arms, everyone followed suit and laughed.

Krystal looked at her, but her gaze fell quietly on Sulli.

She actually hoped that Sulli could be like Park Jiyeon, even if occasionally irritable, but always maintaining outward emotions, and not sinking into internal friction again.

For Sulli, this mental state might be the best healing.

"Just follow along and run. Actually, Jiyeon, your future isn't considered very bad. You earned enough pension in those two years in Huaxia, so there's no problem with work even if you don't change. As for private life, that has to come slowly, can't be anxious."

As Krystal, who had witnessed everything, she was very authoritative when saying this.

So even though Park Jiyeon was born earlier, in the face of this "younger sister," she was still very obedient. "Mm, I know."

Just as Krystal wanted to continue saying something, Lin Xiuyuan interrupted her with a smile.

"Time is still long, don't be in a hurry to explain everything. Whenever you guys have time, come find me to open the door. Then look at the future development and design the path you want to walk yourself. What others point out is ultimately others'. What you want yourself is your own."

Following Lin Xiuyuan's opening, Krystal, although somewhat unconvinced, just pouted without refuting his words.

The following time was much more relaxed. The group played for a while longer, until the clock pointed to 12:00 midnight, and this first gathering of the "Jieyou Sect" leader and followers, named "Funeral" party, was officially and perfectly concluded.

However, before leaving, these idols, who were like goddesses in the hearts of fans, were "forced" by Lin Xiuyuan to throw the trash into the trash can before they were allowed to leave.

And when Lin Xiuyuan was preparing to open the door leading to 2013, he looked back at Krystal, who was still holding Sulli's arm. "Are you going over too?"

"Mm, I'm going to send Sulli off."

Krystal's answer was very direct, so direct that Sulli laughed. "I'm not a child, Xiujing, you don't have to be like this. It's too late, you should hurry back and rest too."

"No need, I'll sleep here tonight. It's fine, let's send you guys over first."

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Sulli and Park Jiyeon both looked at Lin Xiuyuan.

And he indicated, "5 guest rooms, you guys can divide them and stay however you want. I live on the third floor, you guys can toss around however you want with the others."

Then Zheng Xiujing also followed with a smile, "Mm, I also claimed a room here. You guys can claim one when the time comes. If you're too lazy to go back, it's quite convenient to stay here. Anyway, as long as you don't go out, there's no problem."

This made the two girls look at each other, revealing expectant expressions one after another.

But it would have to wait until next time; they had to go back first.

And Sulli, who hadn't seen this magical "space-time gate" with her own eyes because she was blindfolded, stood by Lin Xiuyuan's side this time, her eyes flashing with curious light, wanting to witness it.

To this, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and let her try first.

As a result, she tried several times, but what opened was just an ordinary storage room.

Finally, he reached out and grasped the old brass door handle and pulled it gently.

The scene behind the door changed, actually turning into another place.

Sulli looked at the sudden change, her eyes wide, her expression full of amazement.

Krystal beside her looked at her cute little expression, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was even happier. "Stunned, right? I was scared out of my wits the first time I saw this too."

Park Jiyeon and Zheng Xiujing behind her also nodded one after another, but now they could cross this door back to the 2013 space-time very calmly.

Sulli, returning to 2013, looked at this apartment and suddenly had an idea. "Oppa, is there any empty space in the house next to yours? How about I buy it and move over to live here with you?"

"Ah, I didn't ask about this, there should be, right?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who hadn't expected Sulli to say this, looked to the side, and then found that the two were also feeling a bit eager to try.

This scared him into shouting, "Don't mess around. One is enough, no problem. If you all come, this building won't be surrounded by fans as a check-in spot? By then, Krystal and I won't be able to go out."

And this statement made Zheng Xiujing and Park Jiyeon withdraw that idea, revealing expressions of regret in unison.

"Hee hee, I brought it up first, Unnie, then I won't be polite."

Sulli smiled like a successful little fox, and Krystal was also happy beside her.

Because if she really bought the house next door, then Sulli could go to her side with Lin Xiuyuan at any time, and even then she could hug Sulli to sleep at night.

Thinking of this, she immediately helped plan. "Ask if there's any vacancy first, and it's best if it's the one next door. Then we can open it up and use it as one set, otherwise walking back and forth is easy to be discovered."

"Mm, that's right, then I'll ask tomorrow." Sulli nodded, then curiously visited the apartment here.

Lin Xiuyuan, while watching them busy, said, "I'll ask for you. I added the agent as a friend when I bought the house, I'll just ask him directly here."

Hearing this, Sulli smiled gently. "That's great, then I'll trouble you, oppa, to handle this problem. Also, didn't you just say you were worried about fans blocking the door? So how about you handle the purchase? I'll pay, and this house will be under your name, and then I'll move in."

"Ah?"

Lin Xiuyuan was astonished, and the others also looked at Sulli with some surprise.

However, Sulli pointed to the space-time gate. "Oppa, didn't you say you wanted to pay the 'membership fee' before? I'm afraid of trouble, so I'll just pay an annual fee at once. The value of a house should be enough to mooch for about a year, right?"

"Hiss, no need, I was joking." Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat dumbfounded.

"That's settled."

Krystal indeed nodded in agreement. "She's right, it's safer and more secretive for you to handle the purchase than her."

"Ah, then fine, I've made a fortune again."

Watching the few people chatting over there, Park Jiyeon suddenly found that it seemed like only she hadn't paid the "membership fee" yet.

So her brows furrowed slightly, and the figure of that "old woman" in 2025 flashed into her mind.

Need to speed up the progress. As a model student, she couldn't default on her debt.
