Chapter 73: It's a long story, so let's make it short

"I'm quite curious about him."

Krystal, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look at Lin Yun'er opposite her with an amused expression.

And Lin Yun'er, who was startled by this look, hurriedly added, "Hey, Xiujing, don't get the wrong idea. The curiosity I'm talking about isn't the kind of curiosity you're thinking of."

"Then what kind of curiosity is it, Unnie~"

Lin Yun'er, who was suddenly counter-attacked by Krystal, found that she had lost the initiative, which wouldn't do.

So she hurriedly changed the subject. "You're amazing, Xiujing. But I'd rather be curious about you. You've always liked boys with lean muscles and a good figure. It's rare to see you so attentive to a young little milk dog. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were Taeyeon Unnie."

"Oh, you're gossiping about Unnie, I'll tell her right now."

Krystal made a move to pick up her phone, but seeing Lin Yun'er opposite her looking calm, she pouted and put it down again.

But in her mind, the image of that little milk dog taking off his clothes last night appeared unconsciously.

Don't look at how he usually looks thin in clothes, making people think he had no figure or muscles.

As a result, after taking off his clothes, those abs, which were clearly defined even without sucking in his stomach, stunned her.

And the shark muscles on the side also let her feel the explosive power of the young man's hormones last night; it really wasn't a joke.

Thinking of this, Krystal, who rarely had the desire to share, this time rarely wanted to clear Lin Xiuyuan's name to Lin Yun'er. "Besides, Unnie, don't you know the saying 'dressing thin, undressing with meat'?"

Lin Yun'er, who was eating, looked up sharply, shock revealed in her eyes.

Is this still the little crystal she knew? When did she become so "wild"?

But the next second, Krystal burst into laughter. "Unnie, you wouldn't really believe it, would you? I'm joking with you."

"I believe it."

Lin Yun'er looked at her meaningfully, her tone firm. "I believe you're not joking."

And Krystal didn't explain anymore, just blinked, and teased with a shallow smile, "Then Unnie, you rarely find me today, not to chat, but to ask about that boy, right?"

"Both."

Lin Yun'er didn't lie to her about this.

Being curious about Lin Xiuyuan's identity was one thing, and she also indeed hadn't seen Krystal for a long time and wanted to meet and chat properly.

And Krystal, after listening to the answer, pondered slightly. "Let me see how I should tell you about that boy, Unnie. Actually, it's quite interesting. My first meeting with him was thanks to Jessica."

"Eh? There's Jessica Unnie's business too?"

Hearing that there was Jessica's story here, Lin Yun'er couldn't help but think of the time she met Liu Zhimin, who also seemed to mention this point, and became even more curious.

And recalling the recklessness of Lin Xiuyuan when they first met, Krystal still laughed out loud.

Using that story to deal with Lin Yun'er was also quite interesting.

Sure enough, when Lin Yun'er finished listening to her explanation, the expression on her face was the same as the JK sisters back then.

Surprised, incredible, strange, suspicious.

After a long while, she muttered, "What the... are you guys filming a TV series?"

Now Krystal laughed even louder. "Haha, hahahaha, I thought so too at first. But the evidence is right in front of me, and it's not a big problem, so I didn't care too much."

"Then how did you guys get familiar?"

"That's a long story."

Looking at Krystal's playful expression and her relaxed state.

Lin Yun'er suddenly felt that contacting her today, the feeling she gave people seemed to have put down a lot of burdens compared to before, with more freedom, and she looked younger.

She felt a bit puzzled in her heart, but still teased, "Then make it short."

……

……

2013.

Apartment entrance.

Unlike the continuous drizzle in 2025, the Seoul here was sunny and warm.

After lunch, Lin Xiuyuan planned to go back to the tavern, mix himself a drink, and rest for a while.

As a result, when he arrived at the tavern entrance, he found that there were already people inside.

He pushed the door in with some surprise, looking at Sulli, who was standing inside the bar looking around curiously, and couldn't help but laugh. "Sulli, you weren't that familiar with me before yesterday. We've only met twice before. After yesterday, you've become so self-familiar."

Hearing the voice, Sulli welcomed him happily, her hands behind her back, smiling like a flower.

"Hee hee~ It's mainly because of the things experienced yesterday. After waking up from a beautiful sleep last night, I suddenly realized that life only happens once. I can't be like before anymore. Let's see if I can make some changes, see if I can live out the true self."

"Good idea, then make me a glass of juice."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and took the initiative to sit on the high stool.

Then he watched Sulli messing around inside without disturbing her, just asking casually, "By the way, have you eaten?"

Sulli shook her head. "No, I came to find you, oppa, as soon as I got up."

"Then should I go to the snack shop opposite and get you some snacks?"

This made Sulli's eyes light up, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "I want to eat stir-fried rice cakes, oppa~"

"Got it, tell me next time you come for a meal, I'll bring you a meal."

Lin Xiuyuan stood up, muttering as he walked, and turned to leave the tavern again.

Sulli was left alone here, looking at this tavern she didn't feel anything about the first two times she came. Coming again this time, there was an unusual familiarity and relaxation, more comfortable than staying in the dormitory.

Soon, Lin Xiuyuan, who went out to pack, brought back the stir-fried rice cakes and some snacks she wanted to eat, placed them on the bar, and ate with her.

While eating, Sulli had a curious idea. "Oppa, why did you only find Xiujing over there? She told me yesterday that Jiyeon over there thought you would find Big Jiyeon."

"People who are older have too many concerns. When there are too many concerns, thoughts become messy, and when thoughts become messy, there are more small actions. How dare a young man like me play with them?"

When saying this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of Krystal last night.

Damn, in that kind of thing, he, a man, couldn't even play with the other party, let alone others.

So he couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't have a hot head back then and rush to find the Big Dragon Cub over there.

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's statement, Sulli couldn't help laughing when she heard about older people. Yesterday, Lin Xiuyuan would also be glared at or directly hit by Krystal when he said these words from time to time.

Thinking of Krystal, she continued to pursue, "Then in that case, why did you find Xiujing?"

As a result, Lin Xiuyuan, who bit down on a piece of chicken, looked straight at her. "Isn't this obvious? You're here. As long as you're here, it's steady for me to handle that little shrimp."

Sulli laughed, and just as she was about to retort, her peripheral vision suddenly swept to the surveillance screen, and she was startled.

"Eh, oppa, Yun'er Unnie is here."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan also looked at the screen. Sure enough, Lin Yun'er, dressed casually, was standing outside the door, looking up and down at the tavern entrance and the surveillance camera on the top.

Finally, she looked at the "Member Warning Sign" nailed up by Lin Xiuyuan and waved her hand at the camera a few times.

"We don't seem to have the light on for business, Unnie seems to know we're inside. Should I open the door, oppa~"

"Open it. I suddenly thought of the fact that Zheng Xiujing asked me if I was in the tavern just now. I guess it's what she said."

Sulli, having received the answer, nodded gently, then turned and walked out of the bar to open the door for Lin Yun'er.
