Chapter 32: “palm” And Dao Heart
In front of the computer.
Zheng Soo Yeon’s brows were tightly furrowed, her lips pursed, and her fingertips were faintly pale on the mouse.
Her eyes were fixed on the screen, news after news flooding in like a tide.
Familiar names, difficult realities to accept.
Her whispers began to become increasingly intense.
Lin Xiuyuan leaned by the doorway, silent.
Even when she had questioned him earlier, he had only gently shaken his head.
So in the entire room, aside from her voice, only the low hum of the computer fan could be heard.
He didn’t interrupt, nor did he approach, just gazed at her, his expression complex.
Time seemed to stretch in the silence until a loud noise erupted.
“Bang~”
Lin Xiuyuan jolted, looking up to see Zheng Soo Yeon slam the mouse and then abruptly stand up, reaching for the keyboard.
The scene startled him, and he quickly rushed forward to stop the woman, repeatedly exclaiming, “What the fck, sister, big sister, don’t be impulsive, this computer of mine isn’t cheap. It’s the latest 5090 ROG full set, even with a custom water cooling system, I wouldn’t have dared to imagine this back in 2013.”
“Don’t stop me, move aside, these fcking things are slandering me. Mongrels @&……! It’s one thing to insult my judgment, but they actually said I sent Soo Jung to bed for my future, @……%#@, don’t hold me back, I’m really angry.”
Seeing Zheng Soo Yeon still struggling, Lin Xiuyuan quickly scooped her up and carried her out of the room.
Clang~
The moment the room door was closed, he finally let out a sigh of relief and gently set Zheng Soo Yeon down in his arms.
And from the moment she was picked up, Zheng Soo Yeon had become surprisingly quiet.
She didn’t struggle, just allowed him to easily carry her out the door, only looking up at him when they were on the ground.
“Do you think of me this way too?”
Seeing Zheng Soo Yeon about to get caught up in her thoughts, Lin Xiuyuan quickly spoke for her, “You haven’t done anything yet, why would it be any of your business.”
“Oh, right.”
Zheng Soo Yeon, having regained her composure, still asked with a hint of unwillingness, “Then what if the one asking is me, from this side.”
“I don’t know, but I think my older sister, who used to throw dictionaries at people, wouldn’t be someone who would do something like this. It’s probably some extreme fans talking nonsense after you left the group. Don’t get too worked up, my computer was almost gone.”
As he spoke, Lin Xiuyuan’s eyes subconsciously glanced at his right palm.
Just now, due to the emergency, he prioritized his beloved computer and didn’t bother with propriety, directly scooping Zheng Soo Yeon up by the waist.
Thus, he grasped it with one hand.
The soft touch, though obstructed.
But its size was still measured, seeming to fit perfectly in his grip.
As soon as his gaze flickered, Zheng Soo Yeon immediately noticed.
Even with her strong personality, she pouted with annoyed rebuke, “What are you looking at? Isn’t it enough to have taken advantage and enjoyed it? You’re even showing off so openly, do I have to accuse you of sexual harassment?”
“Sorry, sorry, instinct, instinct.”
Looking at the smiling boy apologizing, Zheng Soo Yeon shot him an embarrassed and angry glare, “Hoo hoo~ So, in your opinion, that computer is more important than me, isn’t it.”
“Who would argue with a computer? It’s just that I don’t think it’s necessary to waste money. Mainly, if the computer is broken, you wouldn’t have a place to check the news anymore, right? And buying an identical computer would cost a lot of time and money, it’s not worth it.”
Looking at Lin Xiuyuan explaining with a serious expression, Zheng Soo Yeon was still a little happy after hearing the first two sentences.
But who knew Lin Xiuyuan would pivot the conversation to the computer, making her both angry and amused.
So her gaze shifted slightly, and she suddenly sneered, “So in the end, the computer is still more important. How much is it? I’ll buy you a new one, I have money.”
Lin Xiuyuan cautiously glanced at the room door behind him, then turned back to Zheng Soo Yeon, “It’s not about the money. The data inside is very important. For example, the tavern plan from yesterday, and the passwords for the newly registered accounts, are all recorded in the system. It would be very troublesome if it broke.”
Now Zheng Soo Yeon understood, and her gaze lingered meaningfully on him, “Heh heh, are those really the files you’re worried about? Or is it data like JK high school students stealing things at convenience stores late at night, female subordinates on business trips forced to stay at hotels in the rain, or married female neighbors alone at home?”
“Hiss~ You have a lot of experience, Zheng Soo Yeon.”
“Scram.”
Looking at Lin Xiuyuan with bright eyes, Zheng Soo Yeon cursed with a laugh, then pushed him away, intending to re-enter the room.
Startled, Lin Xiuyuan reflexively reached out to stop her, and his hand, by chance, landed on her chest again.
Then they looked at each other, and Zheng Soo Yeon raised her shoe to kick him, “Get lost, are you addicted? Go away, I won’t smash your computer, I want to go back and watch the news.”
After saying that, she shoved Lin Xiuyuan away, opened the room door, and strode back inside.
But as Lin Xiuyuan tried to follow, she turned back and stopped him, “Right, as a partner, it’s not too much to get some food for the investor, is it? I didn’t eat dinner at all tonight and rushed back, is there anything to eat here?”
“Takeout,” Lin Xiuyuan’s mind immediately went to this.
The invention of this app was simply too convenient and awesome for a lazy person like him.
The only dissatisfaction was that in Seoul, there were fewer Chinese restaurants, and even fewer authentic ones.
Zheng Soo Yeon frowned, “We’ll have to wait, right?”
“About half an hour.”
Choosing the closest restaurant, that’s roughly the time it would take.
“I don’t want to wait. Isn’t there any food at home?”
“Chicken roll.”
“That works too.”
And so, while Lin Xiuyuan went to the kitchen to heat up the chicken roll, Zheng Soo Yeon sat back down in front of the computer.
She glanced at the still intact mouse, took a deep breath, and began to browse the news and comments again.
However, her eyes swept over the area that had been touched moments ago, her expression changed, and she lightly smiled and rolled her eyes.
On the other side.
Lin Xiuyuan stood at the kitchen doorway, watching the chicken roll slowly rotate in the microwave, uncharacteristically not watching videos, but gently rubbing his right palm.
Although the action was a bit perverted, the touch just now was undeniably tempting.
As the ‘ding’ sounded, the microwave signaled its completion, startling him from his reverie.
It also made Lin Xiuyuan realize something was wrong, and he gritted his teeth, muttering, “Damn, I need to find time to go out and wash my feet soon to break this spell. There have been too many temptations lately, my Dao heart is about to become unstable.”
At the same time.
Upstairs, Zheng Soo Yeon closed the aggressively refreshing news threads and opened a chronicle of Korean entertainment from the past decade.
Tonight, she was prepared to fight this post to the end.
And the first sentence of this post was.
“The decline of the Second Generation began with the downfall of Tara!!!”
