Chapter 11: I Am Jung Soo Yeon
Inside the restaurant.
Jung Soo Yeon looked at Lin Xiuyuan’s smiling face, but she couldn’t feel happy no matter what. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows and continued, “What exactly are you thinking? First you took me from now to the future, and now you want to bring someone back from the future to the past. You’re ignoring the time paradox, right?”
Ever since learning about that parallel future time-space, this woman who usually didn’t read books much had, under the shocked gazes of the members, started flipping through various books on time-space theory.
So when she heard Lin Xiuyuan’s plan right now, she was really worried… worried that this man going back and forth would mess up the two time-spaces completely.
“I didn’t think that much.” Lin Xiuyuan shrugged indifferently. “I just felt like doing it, so I’ll do it.”
Hearing this casual response, Jung Soo Yeon twitched the corner of her mouth.
And Lin Xiuyuan’s expression was also very calm, clearly already knowing the possible problems existed, but not thinking about the consequences at all.
Young people, recklessness is an instinct.
“And do you know, those little moves you told me about a week ago were already exposed by them. So embarrassing, Jung Soo Yeon.”
“No way.”
She instinctively refuted, but after seeing Lin Xiuyuan’s disdainful gaze, she immediately pouted and said, “So what if exposed? Anyway, you’ve already gotten close to them. No matter the process, at least the purpose was achieved, right?”
“Feeling embarrassed for you.” Lin Xiuyuan laughed like an onlooker.
However, Jung Soo Yeon snorted coldly, “I don’t think so. They’ve lived more than a decade longer than me, so they’re definitely shrewd adults. It’s normal they wouldn’t fall for it. After another decade or so, I’ll definitely be better than them.”
“The current you does have that confidence, so you can’t take all the benefits. At least let the future Krystal come back to see her old friend.”
His answer was very vague, leaving Jung Soo Yeon, who didn’t know much future information, confused. “Then since you want to do it, why consult me?”
“Need to trouble you a bit.” Lin Xiuyuan said.
“What now?”
“For Krystal’s identification, see if you can get me a copy. To avoid trouble if the other side comes over here and gets checked without any identification.”
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, Jung Soo Yeon couldn’t help but complain, “Then when I went over there before, why didn’t you get me one? You weren’t worried about me getting caught, right?”
The scolded Lin Xiuyuan laughed haha and waved his hand.
“That was before contacting Jessica. Once I settle things with the Krystal over there, I’ll have her copy Jessica’s identification for you too.”
After the anger subsided, Jung Soo Yeon pondered for a moment.
“Copies are easy to expose.”
“So if convenient, you can give me the real set. Then make an excuse like it was lost or missing, and have your family member reissue a set. That way there will be two sets of real identification.”
Lin Xiuyuan said it casually, as if he was already very familiar with it.
After all, his iron box at home already had three household registration books and two ID cards.
But for Jung Soo Yeon, this operation was simply outrageously clever.
She stared at Lin Xiuyuan, curiously narrowing her eyes. “Wow, impressive. Lin Xiuyuan, were you really a student before? Where did all these messy routines come from?”
“What benefit do I get from deceiving you? Even without deceiving you, I can still ask you for money. No need to deceive, right?”
These words were infuriating yet very reasonable, leaving Jung Soo Yeon unable to refute.
After a long while, she mumbled, “I’ll go back and see. No guarantee I can pull it off.”
“It’s fine, I believe in you.”
“Get lost.”
After cursing him, Jung Soo Yeon looked at him seriously. “Seriously, Lin Xiuyuan, have you ever thought about what you really want to do? You can’t just guard that door and keep messing with us every day, right?”
“No particular ideas for now, but recently reading a book, I suddenly think being a behind-the-scenes boss who solves problems sounds fun.”
As he said this, Lin Xiuyuan reached out and patted the book placed in the corner of the table.
Jung Soo Yeon glanced sideways, and even though the big characters 《Solve Worries Convenience Store》 were in Chinese, she could read them.
Although she hadn’t read many novels, she happened to have read this one.
Recalling the plot in the book, she suddenly felt that this man who controlled the time-space door was really suited for this kind of thing.
Just then, Krystal returned from the bathroom and sat back down, her gaze drifting back and forth between Jung Soo Yeon and Lin Xiuyuan.
At the same time, the dishes began to be served.
Soon, dinner began.
Because Krystal was present, and after learning of Lin Xiuyuan’s plans, Jung Soo Yeon didn’t want to say too much, so during the meal, the conversation revolved around the plot of the book next to Lin Xiuyuan.
Krystal didn’t understand much, but occasionally chimed in, though most of the time she observed the subtle relationship between the two.
Eating the cod in front of her, Jung Soo Yeon said while looking down, “Anyway, if you have nothing to do now, why not learn from the book and find a place to open a shop? Save yourself running around everywhere, impossible to find you.”
Next to her, Krystal, who had been listening attentively, lowered her head even more, shock appearing in her eyes.
This was said a bit too bluntly. Ouni, what exactly is your relationship with him?
But what shocked her even more was Lin Xiuyuan’s next words.
“No thanks, I don’t like staying in a shop all day. And even if opening a shop, I’d rather open a small bar, wait for people like you to come in for drinks, ten million per glass of alcohol, with added value of solving problems service.”
So Krystal jerked her head up, full of disbelief.
Ten million per glass of alcohol? You’re robbing money.
But for such sky-high priced alcoholic beverages, her ouni, her own sister, nodded in full agreement. “If it’s really as you say, with solving problems included, that price isn’t expensive at all. You could even raise it higher.”
They’re crazy, both of them are crazy. Why can’t I understand a word they’re saying?
And her inner thoughts continued until the end of dinner, when everyone got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving the restaurant after the meal, seeing Jung Soo Yeon proactively go to pay the bill, Krystal was completely numb. This was the first time she’d seen ouni dining out with a man, and it was ouni who paid.
And as they walked out the restaurant doorway, preparing to go their separate ways, that guy suddenly asked a question she completely didn’t understand.
“By the way, Jung Soo Yeon, why did you choose the name Jung Soo Yeon instead of Jessica?”
What? Isn’t Jessica ouni’s English name? It’s the same person.
But her ouni answered his question very seriously. “Because Jung Soo Yeon is my real name. Jessica isn’t. I am Jung Soo Yeon.”
So by that logic, I’m not Krystal either?
Krystal was dumbfounded.
