Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 183 The Evolution of the Time-Space Gate—Anchor Point (Please Subscribe and Vote)

two days ago.

That was the day I went to Yoona's house to make bread.

Because Lin Xiuyuan and Krystal had gone a bit too far the day before, he slept until noon that day before waking up.

After waking up, he first heated up the breakfast that Shirley had prepared to fill his stomach before lazily returning to the villa in 2025.

Then, he was "taken" by Lim Yoona to make bread.

The whole process was smooth, and the bread was fragrant and soft.

However... during the process, under the "intimidation" of the stick, Lim Yoona began to complain repeatedly.

As Lin Xiuyuan prepared to leave that evening, Lin Yun'er jumped into his arms and suddenly clamped her legs around him, holding him tightly in place.

Lin Xiuyuan then realized that something seemed amiss.

So one time when I was in the bathroom, I suddenly thought of the apartment there in 2013, and then I pushed the bathroom door open.

What appeared before my eyes was... the apartment from 2013.

Lin Xiuyuan was almost speechless with shock. Fortunately, after his recent adventures, his resilience had greatly improved, so he quickly calmed down after a moment of stunned silence.

What remains is exploration.

So he simply stepped over it and closed the door.

Then, looking at the closed portal, he remained silent for a moment before pushing it open again.

But this time, the place opposite turned out to be a 25-year-old villa.

But Lin Xiuyuan smiled, turned around and went back to the apartment in 2013, closing the door again.

After taking a slow breath, I gripped the doorknob and opened it again.

The space opposite changed again, and it became Yoona's house.

This situation excited Lin Xiuyuan, and the excitement quickly spread from his limbs to his head. He then began to experiment in and out, once, twice, three times... having a great time.

Until Yoona came looking for me.

Actually, she had noticed it when she saw Lin Xiuyuan come and go a few times.

When I noticed they were still going on, I got a little curious and thought something was wrong with my bathroom door, so I came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, stepped aside, and opened the door again. "Take a look for yourself."

On the other side of the door was the apartment they both knew from 2013.

Then, just like he had before, Lim Yoona's pupils contracted and she froze.

"What...what is this?"

"I don't know. I was just thinking of running away and going home when this happened. But I tried several times and I couldn't get back to the villa, but I can get from the apartment to the villa. It's strange."

As Lin Xiuyuan explained, he closed the door again and then opened it again; it was still the same apartment from 2013.

This time he stepped right in, and Yoona followed closely behind.

Then, after watching Lin Xiuyuan stand silently in front of the door for a moment, he opened it again. This time, it was no longer a villa or her home, but a familiar living room.

"This is?"

Lin Yoona stood in front of the door, frowned and carefully examined it for a moment, then gave the answer almost at the same time as Lin Xiuyuan.

“At Taeyeon’s place.”

"At Taeyeon unnie's house?"

Having confirmed what she saw, Lin Yoona's eyes lit up. She immediately walked past Lin Xiuyuan and went inside. After looking around, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Xiuyuan, your portal has evolved! It's become an Anywhere Door?"

"Obviously not."

As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, he pondered for a moment, then pulled her to a random room, pushed open the door, and they went inside together.

The next second, they were back in their apartment in 2013.

“Look, I can go back to the starting point in 13 from any door in 2025.” Lin Xiuyuan pointed around to Lin Yun’er and continued, “Come on, let’s try again.”

These words were meant for Lin Yoona. After saying them, Lin Xiuyuan opened the door again, this time returning to the villa in 2025.

Then he turned to look at the portal, pondered for a moment, and then grasped the doorknob and opened it.

Im Yoona, who was following behind him, exclaimed again, "This is..."

"That's the door to my room in the apartment," Lin Xiuyuan explained, turning around before closing it again and opening it once more.

This time, the scene inside has changed again, now showing the hidden door of the 13-year-old tavern.

Looking at the changing scene, Lin Xiuyuan smiled knowingly, "I think I've figured out the logic behind this change."

"What's going on?" Im Yoona was still in a daze, her face clearly saying, "I need an explanation."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much this time. He first returned to his apartment in 2013, and then returned to Lin Yun'er's home through the time portal there before slowly beginning to explain.

"It's actually quite simple. I've found that only when I think about 'places I've been' before pushing open a door will the door lead to that location."

"Moreover, each time period has an 'anchor point.' The 13-year period is an apartment, and the 25-year period is a villa."

“Anchor point?” Lim Yoona murmured. “Yes, I guess it’s to prevent time distortion. For example, if I want to go to a place I know in 2025, I have to start from the apartment in 13. And if I want to go to the scene in 13, I have to go through the villa door in 2025. There is a starting point on each side, just like a base portal.”

At this point, Lin Xiuyuan demonstrated it to Lin Yun'er again, holding the doorknob and gently pushing it back to the apartment.

Then, with Yoona by his side, they pushed open the time portal again, only to find themselves in a storage room.

“Look, I was just trying to push open a door that leads to the Eiffel Tower, but I’ve never been there and have no recollection of it, so I couldn’t open it.”

Having finally grasped the logic, Lim Yoona nodded and replied, "So, as long as you've been to a place, and there's a door, you can use these two time-space anchors to get there?"

"That's pretty much it." Lin Xiuyuan smiled, then led Lin Yun'er back to her apartment. "It's a bit like an exploration map in a game. Once I've walked through a place, it will light up, and then I can teleport quickly."

However, Lin Xiuyuan was thinking about games.

But Yoona was thinking about more and further possibilities.

"So according to you, Xiuyuan, you can just take us with you when you go out to play in the future. You won't need to take a car or a plane anymore; you can just teleport there."

Her eyes shone. "And also, if someone from 13 wants to come here, or if we want to go back, we don't have to worry about any special circumstances anymore. You can just find any door to send us off, and we won't be afraid of being blocked at the door anymore."

"Yes, that's right. The margin for error and the degree of freedom have both increased a lot." Lin Xiuyuan nodded, his tone calm but with a hint of accomplishment.

"Then why did the change occur?"

Yoona tilted her head and looked at him with the curiosity of a cat.

When asked, Lin Xiuyuan shrugged innocently, "How should I know? I was just thinking about running away as fast as I could, and then the door opened, click, and that was it."

"So it's due to the intensity of emotions?"

Understanding why Lin Xiuyuan wanted to run away, Lin Yoona raised the corner of her mouth, gave him a flirtatious glare, and smiled brightly.

Lin Xiuyuan continued to shake his head. Honest as he was, he didn't understand this logic either. He could only casually say, "I don't quite understand. It could also be that there are more spacetime factors."

The result was that once it was mentioned, Yoona's eyes lit up as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

"More spacetime factors? Does that mean it's more effective?"

With her bright eyes sparkling, Yoona, who originally wanted to rest, was now completely unable to do so after hearing this.

Clock it in! Clock it in!!!
Lin Xiuyuan's face stiffened. Was this a trap he had set for himself?

But this time, it was his turn to laugh, while Lim Yoona cried.

……

……

Back to the present.

When Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the 2013 apartment from the Maldives, Shirley, who had already learned about the changes in the time portal in the past two days, greeted him. Upon seeing his casual attire, she immediately perked up.

"Oppa, so you're in the Maldives now."

"Okay, I'll come back and grab a pair of swim trunks to go for a swim." Lin Xiuyuan nodded as he walked towards the bedroom. "I think I have some."

“Yes, Soo-yeon unnie bought it for you when we went shopping last time.” Sulli nodded.

She paused after speaking, her eyes full of anticipation, "Then oppa, can I go over there and have some fun? I really want to go to the Maldives, but I have no one to go with."

"Next time, with Qri there, I don't want to scare her, and I don't plan to let her know about this."

Lin Xiuyuan explained with a mix of helplessness and amusement, and as he passed the sofa, he gently patted Shirley's head, "Now that the time portal has been upgraded, it will be much easier for us to go wherever we want to play next time. I guarantee you'll have a blast."

Shirley, whose hair had been ruffled, wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled with a look of enjoyment. "Hmm, I need to work harder to make money and try to buy a few properties around the world so I can travel there for vacation anytime, anywhere."

"I'm afraid that one day I'll be reported and told that I have no entry record."

Lin Xiuyuan chuckled and teased as he walked into the bedroom and began rummaging through his swimming trunks.

He quickly found his swim trunks and returned to the living room.

Sulli remained seated on the sofa, hugging a cushion, and said slowly, "Then oppa, let's find a secluded vacation spot, so we can just relax by ourselves and avoid going out in public. Besides, can't it be someone who looks similar?"

"We'll see when the time comes, but the idea is really appealing, as it can be seen all over the world anytime, anywhere."

Lin Xiuyuan, somewhat tempted, clicked his tongue, then turned to say goodbye to Shirley, "Alright, I'm going now. Don't stay up too late, get some rest."

"Hey~ oppa, have fun~" Sulli waved her hand and smiled sweetly.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan gripped the doorknob, preparing to open the door and leave, Shirley's soft chuckle came from behind him, reminding him, "By the way, oppa, remember to wear a condom, otherwise if Qri unnie finds out, you'll have another job."

Lin Xiuyuan turned around and looked at her with amusement, "Then why do you think the other person would invite me to the Maldives alone?"

Shirley was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything more, and with a smile, stepped back onto the land of Vela Island in the Maldives in 2025.

Then he took off his jacket, put on his swim trunks, and quickly looked down at the tight but somewhat restrained fabric, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Jessica Jung... just how much do you underestimate me?"
