Chapter 9

2013, this year the world stage was surging with clouds and winds, and many major events followed one after another.

By comparison, the peak of Girls' Generation seemed insignificant.

But some things, even if they are just a light stroke to the whole world, when they fall into someone's life, they are the turning point of destiny, an honor and opportunity that cannot be ignored.

For example, at this moment, the Girls' Generation members waiting to go on stage in the temporary backstage built in the mall.

The mountain-shaking cheers outside were all for them. This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo, 𝘁𝘁𝗸. 𝘁𝘄, very complete, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

This is the fanaticism of fans, and also the best annotation for them standing at the peak at this moment.

And the members who were at the peak of their popularity at this time were chatting easily about recent interesting things, or lowering their heads to deal with their own affairs, their expressions confident and composed.

Among them, a figure suddenly leaned into Zheng Xiuyan's ear and asked with an excited gossip tone, "Sica, how are things progressing with Ning Yi oppa lately? I heard that oppa seems to have broken up with that Hong Kong actress. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Hearing the voice, Zheng Xiuyan turned to look at Kim Xiaoyuan, who had spoken, and a picture couldn't help but appear in her mind—

……

On the day she handled the IOU incident, at noon, she returned to the old space-time and prepared to say goodbye to Lin Xiuyuan and go home.

It was just that before leaving, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"Lin Xiuyuan, I've handled the matter for you, now we can be considered partners, right?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to know when you can completely open the other side of the door to me."

"Let me think about it."

Lin Xiuyuan's answer, Zheng Xiuyan could understand.

Because if it were her, she might even take this secret into the coffin alone, so she, who got this answer, didn't continue to pursue it.

And she was also very generous, leaving Lin Xiuyuan a check for the same amount as that IOU.

He hadn't opened his mouth yet, and she had already prepared it.

Don't know if it was because of that check, or some other reason.

Just as Zheng Xiuyan opened the door and prepared to leave, Lin Xiuyuan stopped her, his tone carrying a hint of a joke, yet seemingly containing some meaning, "By the way, the boyfriend who will drag you into the pit in the future is named Quan Ningyi. I heard that the member who introduced him to you later became a domestic abuser."

……

Recalling this, Zheng Xiuyan looked at Kim Xiaoyuan and asked coldly, "Xiaoyuan, do you think you will commit domestic violence in the future?"

"Me? Domestic violence? Ya, Sica, what crazy talk are you saying?"

Kim Xiaoyuan, who wanted to come over to explore some gossip, was left crying and laughing by these words, "I wouldn't do that, but I also wouldn't let others commit domestic violence against me. Oh my, why are you saying this now? I don't even know where my boyfriend is, unlike you, who has already..."

"No, I have nothing to do with him."

Zheng Xiuyan interrupted her calmly.

"Ah, didn't you chat quite happily with oppa before? Why are you suddenly like this?"

"No, we've always just been friends, you thought wrong yourself."

Her tone was flat, but carried an undisguisable alienation.

And after saying this, she lowered her head even more, unlocked the screen, and looked at the dialog box inside.

In the dialog box, she had sent many messages to someone else, but the other party had never replied.

So she couldn't help but move her mouth and muttered a few words lowly.

Kim Xiaoyuan on the side originally wanted to ask again, but finally stopped.

Because the other party's expression had already told her that this topic ended here.

And at the same time, Lin Xiuyuan, who had never replied to Zheng Xiuyan, was in a space-time more than ten years after her, staying with Krystal, the younger sister who was older than her.

"So this is the work you said you'd give me."

Lin Xiuyuan, carrying takeout and fruit, suspiciously sized up the bustling staff around the set, no one noticed them.

A week had passed since the day he met the other party.

Lin Xiuyuan, who hadn't waited for a call, wasn't in a hurry, just going back and forth between the apartment and the villa, familiarizing himself with the situation in the new space-time.

Until this morning, he hadn't waited for Jessica's call, but he had waited for Krystal's call.

Said there was work to give him, then told him to go to a designated restaurant to pack fast food, and buy some fruit to find her.

After arriving, Krystal told Lin Xiuyuan directly that this was his future job.

Which left Lin Xiuyuan a bit dazed and even harder to understand.

On the contrary, Krystal, who took the food and fruit, smiled, "Isn't it good? A delivery job with free time. Only responsible for my lunch and dinner, occasionally afternoon tea, you can arrange the rest of the time yourself, how relaxed."

"This belongs to part-time, right?" Lin Xiuyuan said.

"Doesn't matter if it's part-time or full-time, anyway, I'll pay you enough, won't I?"

After saying this, Krystal looked up at this boy, her eyes flickering with unclear meaning, "Besides, you want this job, isn't it just to get close to me or Unnie? As long as I give you this opportunity, it doesn't matter if there's work or not."

"Ah?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, not expecting the other party to point out the situation from a few days ago in one word.

Looking at this green boy's uneasy reaction, Krystal laughed even more happily.

"Who can't see through your little thoughts? Although I don't know what you're thinking, that IOU saved for more than ten years isn't hard to see, you and your uncle are both quite good. So there shouldn't be any bad intentions, then what's wrong with giving you a chance."

Lin Xiuyuan, in his early 20s, didn't have such a good calm mentality, so his first thought after discovering he had been exposed was to ask back, "How did you know?"

Completely didn't think about whether it was possible that the other party was bluffing him.

"Is it hard? Although I didn't pay much attention at the cafe at the time, I was fooled by you. But after going home and thinking about it carefully, whether it's the clothes or that little thought that went from me to Unnie, it's not hard to see through at all, just don't know what you want to do."

She opened the lunch box while looking at him, "If I ask, will you say?"

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head.

"Is it a bad thing?"

Shook his head again.

Krystal smiled, lowered her head to eat, "So I'm too lazy to ask, as long as it's not a bad thing."

The short Q&A ended, Lin Xiuyuan, standing on the side, watching Krystal bury her head in eating, couldn't help but think of Zheng Xiuyan in the old space-time who swore "absolutely no problem."

Couldn't help but slander in his heart: This is what you said was no problem? Zheng Xiuyan, I really believed your ghost talk.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Krystal curiously, "Since you saw through it, why did you still look for me?"

"Just bored. You don't know, filming is too stuffy, having someone to relieve boredom, letting the brain move is also quite good. And I do need someone to run errands for me. Before, this job was always done by an assistant, but she's on vacation lately, you happened to appear, it's not bad to substitute."

"Doesn't the set have lunch boxes?" Lin Xiuyuan was still puzzled.

Krystal, who was poking fruit, heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, "Life in this world must be lived happily. Want to eat what, want to drink what, want to play what, all must be enjoyed in time. But can't delay work, so I need someone to run errands for me."

On the side, Lin Xiuyuan, who had been held by Krystal since they met, suddenly found a turning point.

Because the words the other party just said made him hear some of her flaws.
