Just as Lin Xiaolu was roaring in the master bedroom, a peaceful and warm atmosphere prevailed in the living room of the 25-year-old villa on the other side of time and space.

Lin Yoona was lying lazily in Lin Xiuyuan's arms, scrolling through her phone and eating fruit, her movements light and carefree.

But the next second, she suddenly looked up as if struck by lightning, staring at the other person, "By the way, Xiuyuan, did you wash the blankets?"

"Wash the blankets? What blankets are you washing?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was chatting with Da Longzai about Taekwondo, was completely bewildered by Lin Yun'er's sudden question and subconsciously looked down at her.

"Hehehe~"

After hearing this, Lin Yoona paused for a moment, then gave a meaningful smile, "Then it's fine. Just wait for Lin Xiaolu to see us next time, and then just swing a baseball bat and chop people up."

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan finally reacted a beat too late, his eyes looking away from the conversation, and he suddenly realized, "Oh, we're doomed, you're talking about the Little Deer Apartment, we had our fun and then ran away."

"Haha, what you said is absolutely right. I give you full marks for the summary."

After hearing this, Lim Yoona laughed so hard she almost fell over, and slapped his leg. "I thought you went to take a shower, so I didn't come into the room afterwards."

"After leaving the room and coming to the sofa, I haven't gone back in. I roughly patted the sofa, and then the room..."

Lin Xiuyuan paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and seemed to finally realize the seriousness of the situation. "Forget it, next time I'll just stick my head out and let her hit me."

"I'm just afraid she won't hit you," Yoona laughed while eating fruit. "When she actually bites you, you'll know what it means to be completely wrong."

"..."

The words in his ear made Lin Xiuyuan unconsciously reach out and pinch Lin Yoona's little teddy bear, startling her. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Lin Xiuyuan withdrew his hand and gently rubbed her cheek. "Speak properly. I've noticed that Yoona, you're starting to resemble Jiyeon in your evolution. Don't follow her example."

However, Yoona laughed and said, "What's wrong? I think Jiyeon is great. She can say whatever she wants."

"Yes, you can get married whenever you want and divorce whenever you want. Do you want to learn that too?"

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and put down his phone, his tone joking with a hint of provocation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yoona suddenly sat up straight, moved closer to him, and looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"If it's Xiuyuan, marriage isn't out of the question. As for whether or not to get a divorce, that's hard to say."

Yoona's tone was light and casual, as if she were joking.

But she knew in her heart that although she could never bring herself to say the word "true love".

But she really grew to like this humorous, interesting, considerate, and handsome 13-year-old Lin Xiuyuan more and more.

Not to mention, there's that secret bonus that belongs only to them.

So if she were to suddenly get married someday, she wouldn't be surprised.

I'm even a little excited.

"Don't make trouble."

Faced with Lin Yoona's bright, big eyes, Lin Xiuyuan pressed her back onto his lap, not wanting to continue the conversation.

I don't know why, but every time we talk about this kind of topic, I always end up being teased back and left speechless.

As she laughed and lay back down, she continued to snuggle up to him, "So, what are we going to do for dinner? Order takeout again?"

What would you like to eat?

I'm a little full.

As soon as Lin Xiuyuan asked, Lin Yun'er's answer came out naturally, making him laugh out loud, "You're full after eating just a little bit of stuff? Yun'er, you're so easy to feed."

"How about... we eat again?" The other person's eyes flashed, and the corners of their mouth turned up.

"I……"

"Ling ring ring~"

A video call came in. Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the contact name, sighed softly, then reached out and pressed Lin Yun'er's head, pushing her to the side a little before answering the call.

The next second, a figure appeared on the screen.

"Xiuyuan, what are you doing?"

A bright voice came from Kim Tae-yeon's side, her smile impossible to hide.

"Uh, I'm just spacing out at the villa," Lin Xiuyuan replied truthfully.

"Want to go out for dinner?"

Lin Xiuyuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Then we'll have to bring someone along."

Kim Tae-yeon's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had sensed something, and her tone suddenly changed, "Don't tell me Yoona is with you."

No sooner had she finished speaking than another playful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hehe, unnie, how are you so smart~"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiuyuan's phone was snatched away by a soft little hand.

The camera then pans to Yoona nestled on his lap, smiling and greeting Taeyeon at the camera, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous look in Taeyeon's eyes on the screen.

The two chatted and laughed, the atmosphere light and natural, as if they were exchanging some kind of ambiguous spoils.

After chatting for a while, they agreed on a place for dinner that night: a small restaurant specializing in braised dishes.

By the time Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yun'er left the villa, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

A cool evening breeze brushed past the car window.

The atmosphere inside the car was relaxed. Lin Yoona leaned back in the passenger seat, looking out the window, occasionally turning her head to exchange a few playful glances with Lin Xiuyuan.

"Xiuyuan~ Do you think Unnie is envious and jealous of me? The way she looked at me just now was like she wanted to kill me!"

Yoona asked the questions with a grin, her tone full of smugness and a hint of mischief.

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You got yourself into this mess."

Then he glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't drag me into this."

"Oh, what's wrong? You want to distance yourself now that you've had your fun?"

Im Yoona immediately raised an eyebrow and said in a half-jokingly fierce tone, "Xiuyuan~ You've been here for 25 years just to learn these bad habits? Let me tell you, being a scumbag is not a good profession."

"I'm not denying it. I'm just saying that you were the one who provoked Taeyeon."

After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan thought of something and glanced at Lin Yun'er next to him, "Also, when can we finish that little episode we agreed on before? If we keep dragging it on, it'll be almost Chinese New Year."

"What little incident? I don't know, I'm not clear on it, don't ask me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yoona instantly lost her composure, her cheeks flushed, and she glanced at Lin Xiuyuan with a fleeting look.

I guess he remembered something terrible.

"Isn't this cheating?" Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile as he pressed on.

Hearing this, Lim Yoona pouted, snorted, and looked out the window. "I didn't go back on my word. Just you wait."

"A time-difference tactic? How long am I supposed to wait? Tonight? Tomorrow? Or... the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xiuyuan continued to tease him with a smile, his tone relaxed.

"..."

The car drove through the city streets, the lights reflected off the windows, and the passengers joked back and forth until they arrived at the little shop.

The atmosphere gradually calmed down once we arrived at the parking lot.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.

Pushing open the wooden door of the small shop, you are greeted by warm yellow light and the rich aroma of braised dishes filling the air, warm and tempting, with a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.

Led by the waiter, they went up to the second floor and arrived at an elegantly decorated private room.

Kim Tae-yeon was already waiting at the round table.

As soon as she saw the two enter, she immediately stood up, beaming, "You finally decided to come, Xiuyuan~"

Then his gaze turned to Lim Yoona, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he pursed his lips slightly.

"But Yoona... you don't seem to be here to eat, do you? Your complexion is so good, why don't you pay the bill later?"

"If that's how you put it, then Xiuyuan and I will go back and order takeout," Lim Yoona replied with a smile, not backing down at all.

"Stop fooling around," Lin Xiuyuan said with a helpless smile, pulling out a chair and sitting down. "Let's finish our meal first."

As Kim Tae-yeon sat down, she turned her gaze to Lin Xiu-yuan and asked in a light tone, "Aren't you full either?"

Lin Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand, trying to interrupt her, "Order, order."

His interruption temporarily halted the escalating "confrontation."

But Kim Tae-yeon's gaze towards him became even more intense.

Yoona, meanwhile, had already started flipping through the menu without any hesitation, muttering to herself, "I need to order a lot of dishes, I've burned so much energy today..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kim Tae-yeon chuckled, her tone meaningful, "Yes, I can see that."

Lin Xiuyuan silently lowered his head and drank water, feeling that tonight's meal might be hard to digest.

Thankfully, Yoona didn't continue her battle of wits with Taeyeon. After ordering, she looked at Taeyeon and asked, "Unnie, did you go to participate in a variety show? Why did it end so quickly?"

"Ok?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was looking at the menu next to him, was a little puzzled.

Then Yoona explained, "Unnie said that before."

"How did you know it was today? I didn't say a time."

Kim Tae-yeon had told Im Yoon-ah about the situation, but didn't mention the specific time, so she was also a little surprised.

It wasn't until Yoona pointed to her hairstyle that she said, "Your hairstyle doesn't look like you came from home, and your skin is so dewy, it's always like this on TV shows."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh and muttered a complaint, "You guys like this, don't you, Yoona?"

"I used to, but I don't anymore."

Yoona raised an eyebrow at Taeyeon, who had just laughed out loud, then looked at Lin Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "So Xiuyuan, you should eat more, don't go hungry."

This seemingly casual expression of concern caused Kim Tae-yeon's face to turn from sunny to stormy. Her lips twitched, and she was about to retort when she suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, Yoona."

Kim Tae-yeon's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled meaningfully, "I remember you were supposed to come to our variety show to promote your new movie, weren't you?"

As he spoke, his eyes shifted, and his smile became somewhat "wicked."

Clearly, this little Thai girl has already started plotting, planning to "teach" this audacious maknae a lesson on the show.

Before she could even retaliate, Yoona's barrage of criticism came crashing down on her: "Yeah, I'll try to go out without makeup that day, unnie~"

"Oh, it's Im Yoona."

"Yes, unnie~"

Yoona retorted innocently, and the two bantered back and forth like sisters bickering.

Watching the two bickering, Lin Xiuyuan clearly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, occasionally adding fuel to the fire while also ordering the dishes.

Soon, the dishes were served one by one, and the aroma of braised pork ribs wafted over. Lin Xiuyuan saw Lin Yun'er pick up a piece of pork rib with anticipation and couldn't help but say something.

"Yoona, didn't you just say you weren't hungry? You're eating faster than me."

Yoona glared at him irritably, still stuffing food into her mouth, "Try rocking the rocking horse for half an hour and see if you get hungry."

Next to her, Kim Tae-yeon had just picked up a piece of pork rib when she immediately put down her chopsticks, saying, "Oh dear, I can't eat anymore."

"Hahaha."

And so the three of them continued their banter, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

As dinner progressed, laughter and conversation filled the air, and it quickly came to around 8 p.m.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan was putting down his chopsticks and finishing his dinner, a message appeared on his phone screen.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Kim Tae-yeon and the other woman who were chatting happily over there, but didn't disturb them. He unlocked his phone and looked at the letter.

He was surprised by the message's sender.

Bae Suzy: [Xiuyuan-xi~ Are you free tonight? Want to meet some new friends?]

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but recall something; the tone and wording were somewhat familiar to him.

He looked up at Lim Yoona and Kim Tae-yeon, who were chatting enthusiastically across from him, and immediately felt a sense of certainty.

So he quickly typed a reply on the screen.

Lin Xiuyuan: [?? Are you short of male models?]

……

the other side.

Bae Suzy, who was also eating, or rather sitting in a restaurant, burst out laughing when she saw Lin Xiuyuan's reply.

This relaxed and slightly teasing tone is much more interesting than those serious responses, and she likes it that way.

Opposite her sat a woman wearing a pure white T-shirt with long black hair.

Looking at Bae Suzy laughing, she gently asked, "What's wrong? You promised to introduce me to your friends."

"I didn't say anything about introducing anyone. You said to just find someone to go with, and I was thinking that since we're going to play baseball later, it would be better to find a guy."

Bae Suzy looked up at the opposite side and smiled slightly.

"New boyfriend?" Upon hearing Bae Suzy's words, the other party immediately became interested.

However, Bae Suzy shook her head, "No, he's a really fun little boy."

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded slightly and smiled, "A young man, huh? Haha. Someone you value must have something special about him."

"Ah."

"what."

"Very young, in his early twenties."

The woman sitting opposite Bae Suzy was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Oh my, Suzy, you're getting funnier and funnier. You're like an old cow eating young grass, aren't you?"

"I learned it from you, unnie," Bae Suzy said innocently.

"Find a fight."

……

A while after the text message was sent, Lin Xiuyuan received Pei Xiuzhi's reply again.

Bae Suzy: [We need a male model to accompany us. Xiu Yuan, how much do you charge? I'll see if I can book him for an hour. I'll test his quality first, and if he's good, I'll book him for the whole night.]

Lin Xiuyuan had just finished reading the text message and started to laugh when Kim Tae-yeon next to him spoke up, "Xiuyuan~ what are you doing? You won't answer when I ask you a question."

Looking up at Lin Xiuyuan beside her, she was a little confused. "Huh? Did you ask me anything? What did you say? I wasn't paying attention."

"I just asked you when you dyed your hair back to its original color."

As she spoke, Kim Tae-yeon pointed to his head.

Lin Xiuyuan ran his fingers through his hair and replied, "Yesterday, I went to a spa with Zhiyan and the others. They said my natural hair color had started to show, so they suggested I change it. In the end, I decided to dye it back to black."

"Black is more timeless than gold," Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

"Well, it was Jiyeon's birthday, so I just went along with her."

Hearing Lin Xiuyuan say that, Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but look at him with a hint of jealousy, "Then why didn't you show up earlier on my birthday?"

Lin Xiuyuan simply shrugged. "Back then, I was still working at a youth hostel."

Then Yoona spoke up from across the table, "We've almost finished eating, should we head out now? Should we go home and rest or something?"

What are your plans?

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes fell on the two ladies, clearly waiting for their decision.

After all, in terms of closeness, Bae Suzy isn't ranked higher, unless these two "release" her first.

"Either go home and rest, or go sit in a pub."

However, as a homebody, Kim Tae-yeon has never been very interested in late-night activities and drinks very little alcohol, mainly to protect her voice.

Lin Xiuyuan nodded and then looked at Lin Yoona, "Yoona, what about you?"

"Go back and rest. We have a promotional event to do tomorrow. Xiuyuan, do you want to come with me...?"

Before Yoona could finish speaking, Taeyeon interjected, "Xiuyuan, go back and keep Xueqiu company. Yoona, I'd like to come over to your apartment for a bit."

Im Yoona was taken aback for a moment, but then she laughed and said, "Okay, unnie, I'll ride in your car then."

"Well, I'll take you back."

The two of them, who had figured out the situation in the blink of an eye, immediately isolated Lin Xiuyuan. However, he didn't say anything, but simply typed a word on the screen.

Lin Xiuyuan: [No fees charged during trial operation]

……

……

It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

Following the location sent by Bae Suzy, Lin Xiuyuan quickly arrived at a baseball stadium located in a corner of a sports center.

After parking the car safely outside, I followed the signs, went around a few turns, and pushed open a few doors before finally reaching the depths of the venue.

However, without a member to guide him, he was eventually stopped at a door, so he had no choice but to take out his phone and send a message to Bae Suzy.

A few minutes later, a light footstep came from the side door.

Lin Xiuyuan looked up and saw Pei Xiuzhi walk out from behind the door.

She wore a white spaghetti strap top; the soft fabric clung to her figure without being ostentatious, exuding a casual gentleness.

She wore a dark blue baseball cap with the brim slightly lowered, covering half of her face, which only made her soft profile even more charming.

Then, standing at the end of the corridor, she waved to him, a familiar and playful smile on her lips, "Xiuyuan, this way."

Seeing this, the security guard at the entrance nodded to let him in.

As Lin Xiuyuan approached, Pei Xiuzhi greeted him with a smile, "I was worried you wouldn't be able to find your way, but it turns out you were stopped?"

"It's a membership system, you know." Lin Xiuyuan shrugged and smiled.

“It’s similar to your little pub,” Bae Suzy replied lightly.

The two walked side by side through the dimly lit corridor, talking as they made their way to the open batting area at the back of the stadium.

A cool night breeze blew, and several tall pole lights illuminated the entire batting cage as if it were daytime. In the distance, the crisp sound of metal bats hitting baseballs could be heard, along with occasional bursts of laughter.

On a bench in the rest area, a quiet figure came into view.

The other person was wearing a clean and neat pure white T-shirt, paired with a black baseball cap, and their hair was simply tied into a low ponytail, with loose strands falling to the side of their neck.

He was looking down at his phone, his expression focused, as if a quiet barrier separated him from the noisy environment around him.

Even if she just sits there quietly, she is still a beautiful sight.

Time seems to have lingered around her face; the face that once appeared on countless Korean drama posters shows no obvious signs of aging, but instead possesses a calm and gentle quality.

With smooth skin, soft features, and bright, determined eyes, one can only possess the composure of someone who has truly stood at the forefront of the storm.

When Lin Xiuyuan saw the other person's face, his eyes widened immediately, and he glanced at Bae Soo-ji next to him with some surprise.

No, this is the person you wanted to introduce to me?
