Chapter 79: Ten million, oh ten million (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets)

The camera cuts back to late night in 2025.

Inside the bistro, the lighting is soft and warm.

After happily sending off Lin Yun'er and the Little Dragon Cub, Krystal turns her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who is cleaning up the aftermath. With a smile on the corner of her lips, she hums softly.

"Hey, that move you just made was sexual harassment, do you know that?"

"Didn't I apologize afterward? It was a moment of urgency; I couldn't just watch it fall to the ground."

"Are you sure it was a moment of urgency, and not taking advantage of the situation because of her beauty?"

Krystal walks toward him with a smile, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing light. But before he can explain, she adds another sentence.

Her tone is caring, "Take it easy. Even though she's divorced, it's been less than half a year. If someone else had filmed that move of yours just now, Zhiyan would be in trouble."

By then, news about cheating in advance, or keeping a 'little milk dog' lover, would surely emerge one after another.

This makes Lin Xiuyuan, who has finished listening to the reply, give a wry smile, "I really didn't have that thought; it was truly just a subconscious action. I'm not that desperate."

"Oh, really?"

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken; once he did, Krystal got energized, "You just said you didn't sleep very comfortably last night. Was it me who made you uncomfortable, or what?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

"Slip? So you like that, do you?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who is lifting the charcoal stove, turns his head to look at Krystal. The other party stares straight into his eyes, even raising a smile to provoke him.

Lin Xiuyuan knows he is being teased, yet he is too cowardly to make a move.

Who knows if Krystal was just in a mood last night and gave him a 'gift'.

If she is sober today and he throws himself at her only to be rejected, that would be embarrassing.

It would be better to go out later for a foot massage and an oil rub.

Thinking of this, he turns around to continue putting away the charcoal stove, only muttering to himself: next time there's a chance, he must give her a taste of her own medicine.

The freshly 'broken' Chu Nan is like this; cowardly, with only his mouth being sharp.

Behind him, Krystal, watching his little actions, has her mouth blooming with a smile, while also feeling a bit emotional.

This guy is clearly a 'wolf dog' type in his bones and physique, so why is he so cowardly?

And if her thoughts were known by Lin Xiuyuan, he would definitely explain: this isn't called cowardly, this is called risk management!

Later, when Krystal joins in the cleaning process, the two of them quickly get things mostly tidied up.

As for the remaining trash and hygiene, just hire a domestic helper tomorrow.

Before leaving, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly looks at her, "Are you going back to rest tonight, or what?"

"Then do you want me to go back, or stay the night?"

For some reason, ever since last night, Krystal has been very fond of teasing Lin Xiuyuan; it's quite amusing to see the look of restless desire in his eyes every time, knowing he doesn't dare make a move on her.

Lin Xiuyuan chooses to ignore her directly and walks toward the main door.

"Hey hey, don't be in such a rush. You haven't answered my question yet."

"Suit yourself."

"Lin Xiuyuan, do you really plan to go play golf with Zhiyan in two days?"

"Mm, just going over to play."

"You wouldn't have taken a fancy to Xiaomin, would you? She just got married, don't be so impulsive."

"Krystal, you'd better go home and rest."

"Hit the nail on the head? Getting anxious?"

The next day at noon.

Still waking up on that super luxurious big bed in the villa, Lin Xiuyuan looks at his own naked body, thinking about the scene of being taught a lesson again last night.

He feels a bit secretly happy, but soon thinks of something else and grabs his hair in frustration.

"No, is she 'P-ing' (manipulating) me?"

After saying this, he picks up the phone nearby and takes a look. Sure enough, ten million has arrived.

He raises his eyebrows, rises to wash up, feeling both amused and helpless.

Then he prepares to go back to 2013 for a spin, and by the way, find something to eat there.

Recently, he has eaten a bit too much '0-natural-pure-additive' takeout; he still wants to go to a restaurant to eat something freshly stir-fried and chilled.

And by the time he returns to 2013, it is already past one in the afternoon.

Then, looking at the series of missed calls on the phone screen here, he can't help but grin awkwardly and gasp, "Something big has happened."

However, this 'big thing' is just something he says with his mouth; he has absolutely no intention of calling back Zheng Xiuyan, even though she has been frantically naming names in the Kakao small group, making both Sulli and Park Ji-yeon laugh.

But sometimes, trouble still finds its way to the door.

For instance, take Lin Yun'er and Sunny, who suddenly appeared across from her at the dining table.

"Is it such a coincidence? I just wanted to come here for a meal."

Lin Xiuyuan, who has just ordered his meal, looks at the two figures in front of him in shock, "Are you following me, or did you also come here to eat?"

"Both, I suppose."

Lin Yun'er looks at his bewildered expression and laughs exceptionally happily, "I originally wanted to find you after eating, but I didn't expect to run into you here. I can only say that Seoul is indeed too small."

"Is this shop that famous?"

Lin Xiuyuan looks around.

The bibimbap restaurant he came to is exactly the one Krystal brought him to before.

Lin Yun'er nods, "I heard Xiujing and the others mention it, so since I happened to have nothing to do today, I thought I'd come over to taste it, and then we ran into each other."

As she speaks, she hurriedly introduces Sunny, who is staring at Lin Xiuyuan, "By the way, let me introduce you, Sunny. You should know her, right?"

"The 'Vitality Element' of Girls' Generation; there shouldn't be many young people in Seoul who don't know her."

Lin Xiuyuan smiles politely, nods slightly, and reaches out his hand to her, "Hello."

Sunny shakes his hand and also smiles generously, "Hello."

As soon as the hand is released, Lin Xiuyuan immediately looks at Lin Yun'er, "What did you mean just now when you said you'd find me after eating?"

"Just those things we didn't finish talking about yesterday."

"Ten million?"

Lin Xiuyuan, reminded, suddenly mentions this amount, which leaves Lin Yun'er and Sunny across from him confused.

But Lin Yun'er still nods and says, "Cool, I'll transfer it to you in a while."

Looking at Lin Yun'er, who hesitated for a moment across from him, Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously thinks of Krystal's prompt transfer this morning; it seems he is no longer short of this ten million.

Then...

"How about you ask someone else, Yun'er-xi? I'm a bit worried that if I mess up your rice bowl and development, I won't be able to afford the compensation."

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's statement, before Lin Yun'er can react, Sunny speaks up first, "How about we go over there in a while to talk about this issue? It's not very convenient to talk here. How about we eat first?"

"Yes, yes, yes, eat first, eat first."

Afterward, during the checkout, Sunny even rushes to pay the bill, letting Lin Xiuyuan have another free meal.

However, Lin Xiuyuan isn't just freeloading; after eating, he returns to the bistro and gives Lin Yun'er and Sunny two drinks.

Well, this can be considered a return of courtesy.

Then, sitting on the sofa with them, he starts chatting about the script issue.

Originally, Lin Xiuyuan didn't intend to get involved, but while eating, he thought of Zheng Xiuyan and Sulli's opening.

So in the end, he gives the name of the drama "The Heirs," but after saying it's a good script, he doesn't have any other good suggestions, leaving Lin Yun'er to choose for herself.

At this moment, Lin Yun'er speaks up, "That, if I pay, can you provide me with 'acting guidance' in this regard?"

Lin Xiuyuan is stunned and points to himself, "Me? Acting guidance?"

At the same time, Lin Dajun, far away in 2025, suddenly sneezes several times in a row.

Who is thinking of her behind her back again?
