At night, in a bar in New York, the second floor had been wrapped up at this time, and the tables and chairs were arranged in an oval shape, and there was a lot of food and drinks on it, and many figures were shuttling back and forth in it. The ground floor is still open, with intense DJ music, a crazy dance floor, and dynamic lights, and this night is destined to be extraordinary.

"Happy birthday. ”

Walking up to Jessica, looking at the woman in front of him who was looking at him with some amusement, Lin Xi also smiled a little embarrassedly, and then handed over the gift in his hand.

"I really didn't expect you to remember my birthday, and I forgot to give you an invitation. But what surprised me the most was that you actually found Xiujing by yourself, why, you want to eat back grass. Taking the gift, Jessica looked down at the package, smiled, and teased the bastard in front of her.

"I happened to meet on the street, and then I knew that it was your birthday, so I ran to the door with a thick face. For Jessica, who has always aimed to scare herself, Lin Xi simply let her say. After all, people are the protagonists of their birthdays today, so they can't touch each other like they did that night.

This answer made Jessica smile happily, "Come on, I'm not joking with you, I'll greet other friends first." After speaking, he looked at Krystal who was standing next to him, "Xiujing, you can help me greet him, anyway, here, you are familiar with him." And you brought him here, so you can do it yourself. ”

"Ernie. In the face of this not very obsessive Jessica, Krystal is also very helpless.

In the end, the two stood together and watched tonight's protagonist go to the other side, and then continued to have a happy conversation with some of her friends. Seeing this, Krystal glanced sideways at the food on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat something, or drink something?" ”

"I'm not hungry yet, let's have a glass of juice to moisten my throat first. Krystal's voice made Lin Xi also look at the dining table, and then gave an answer.

Then, Krystal brought two cocktails from there and handed one to Lin Xi, "Drink cocktails, juice or something, it's for seeing, not for drinking." ”

Lin Xi, who took the wine glass, looked at Krystal very amusedly and nodded, "Okay, this is the first time I've heard of your crooked reasoning." After speaking, the noise in his ears also made Lin Xi walk to the railing on the second floor, lie on it, look at the madness on the dance floor on the first floor, and take a sip of wine.

"Why did you suddenly come to New York, I heard that you just went back to China last month to take up a post?" Similarly, Krystal also followed Lin Xi's footsteps, leaned his back against the railing, turned his head to look at Lin Xi and asked, "Even if your working hours are relatively free, you won't be able to take over all the work in the new place so quickly." ”

"I didn't finish taking it over, but Li Ran took the rest. In addition, the teacher in New York called me to come over and help, so I had to make a trip. Smiling, Lin Xi withdrew his gaze from the dance floor and looked sideways at Krystal next to him. That pretty face is still no different from when I knew each other, the same beautiful and moving, but it has become more mature in terms of expression and gaze, "By the way, why did you suddenly come from Seoul." When I was chatting with Jessica two days ago, I didn't hear her talk about your coming. ”

"I only came here yesterday, and there is no work at the company anyway. With his head held high, Krystal answered Lin Xi's question softly after drinking the wine in his glass. In the end, under Lin Xi's eyes, who were very surprised that she was in such a bold drinking posture, she asked, "What about you, are you tired lately?" ”

A pun, ystal's question, and the voice with a slightly different tone also made Lin Xi's eyes tremble slightly. Then he quickly retracted his gaze and looked down at the cocktail in his hand, "It's okay, with my sister and Li Ran at work, I'm very relaxed." I was playing for the first half of the month, and now I've only been in New York for two days, and I have nothing to do. ”

"You know what I'm asking. For Lin Xi, Krystal's mood was complicated, so when he heard Gu Zuo's answer on the other side, he simply spread it out and asked directly. Anyway, the previous friendship and relationship between the two of them is nothing that they dare not ask or can't ask.

Helpless, all he asked about this point, Lin Xi was left with a wry smile, "Anyway, how did you see it." Even her members probably haven't figured out the situation yet. ”

"With your character, if not a big problem. I really can't imagine what reason could make you actually leave each other in Seoul for more than a month without seeing each other, and even on their birthdays, they didn't even accompany each other. In the face of Lin Xi's inquiry, Krystal naturally told his guess. Finally, he looked straight at Lin Xi, "Moreover, I asked Sohyun, and she told me that your parents went to Seoul in February." If I'm not mistaken, that's the problem. ”

"Xiujing, do you know what I said to Jessica two nights ago?" Glancing at Krystal in some surprise, Lin Xi shook his head and said helplessly.

"You know, you told Ernie 'Women don't be too smart' and got scolded by Ernie. Speaking of this, Krystal didn't know if he remembered something funny, and his cold and arrogant little expression finally smiled, "When I met Ernie last night, she told me about this situation, and then said that you are a straight man with cancer. ”

Straight Male Cancer ...... Poof, when did Jessica understand the internet language of our country?

Listening to Krystal's answer, Lin Xi almost vomited blood without internal injuries and died, "She really said that." ”

"Well, really. Nodding, Krystal confirmed very seriously. Then, just like Jessica that night, she ignored Lin Xi's method of transferring the problem and continued, "It's not the first day I've known you, do you think this method will work if it is used on me again?"

Come on, Lin Xi is going to cover his face now. Finally, he sighed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, maybe it's a little useful in the face of others, but you really use it too much for Xiujing, and you're immune to it." ”

"Let's talk about it, you can't keep it in your heart all the time. Your personality has become more and more like your former girlfriend lately, which is not good. I don't think you're in love now, you're in love. Actually, Krystal didn't want to meddle in Lin Xi's emotional problems, she just didn't want Lin Xi to keep all her thoughts in her heart alone. This kind of Lin Xi is not the Lin Xi she knows, but a little bit towards the character of Kim Taeyeon in the past. This situation is unacceptable to Krystal, which is why it is so abnormal, and asks Lin Xi urgently.

Among them, the last sentence is even more powerful, and it hits the nail on the head. One is active, and the other is passive. At this time, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon are really passively accepting everything.

Perhaps, ystal's sudden comment made Lin Xi, who was lying on the railing, tremble, and a pair of originally dull eyes suddenly showed a frightened look.

It seems really, as Krystal said, after falling in love with Kim Taeyeon. In addition to the fact that Lin Xi was very comfortable in the first few months, after the two sides were busy at the beginning, the position and mood gradually changed.

Scandals, car accidents, terrorist attacks, travel incidents, and more recently, the case about his own parents. This series of problems also made Lin Xi suffer from gains and losses. Even before, he defined himself as great and cheerful. But when reality really came to him, Lin Xi realized that he was also a mortal, and he used to think about the answer that was taken for granted, but now he has also slapped himself in the face.

Now, listening to Krystal's words, Lin Xi finally seemed to see his own funny and self-deceptive life like a coward and an ostrich in the past two years. When I first came to Seoul, I don't know where he abandoned myself.

"The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and I have been told this before. I didn't expect that after so long, I still haven't seen through it. Thinking about it, Lin Xi, who had been silent, finally spoke. The first sentence made Krystal next to him look at him with some curiosity, "Who said you." ”

"Brother Jun, I didn't see through Taeyeon's love at first, but I only found out when he broke it. Lin Xi didn't hide it, and gave a natural answer.

"Oh, it turned out to be the director. Lin Jun, when Lin Xi mentioned him like this, Krystal also recalled Lin Jun, who had not seen him for a long time, and then sighed. However, he didn't plan to continue to remember the past, but looked at Lin Xi again, "So you haven't told me what the situation is now." ”

At this time, Lin Xi was no longer silent. After a deep sigh, he glanced at Krystal, who was already lying on the railing like himself, and finally whispered about the incident in February.

……

Behind them, Jessica, the protagonist, is entertaining her friends who have come to celebrate her birthday. However, the attention has never left the two figures on the side of the railing not far away.

She smiled when she saw the two of them chatting there, and then raised her eyebrows happily when she saw Krystal smile, and then raised her glass to toast with her friend next to her.

Although Krystal is in love and has a boyfriend. But there is still that thorn in Jessica's heart, even if the two of them have untied the knot now, Jessica still can't put it down. Because she knew very well that the criteria for the boyfriend Krystal was looking for at this time were all based on the standards of the man over there.

However, she didn't say anything about this problem, and she didn't plan to break it. Jessica, who had already done something wrong, didn't plan to continue to get involved with those two of them. All she could do was stand as quietly as possible and see if things could move in the direction she wanted.

However, for her own idea, I guess even Jessica herself knows that there is very little hope.

……

While Jessica was thinking about it, the story was over on Lynbrook and Krystal's side.

And after listening to this story, Krystal did not express any thoughts immediately. Instead, he was very eerily silent for a long time, and it wasn't until Lin Xi finished drinking the cocktail in his hand that he said a word. Just this sentence shocked Lin Xi's whole body, turned his head to look, and asked with an incredulous face, "What? Xiujing, you say it again, Xiujing, I heard it right just now." ”

"You heard me right, I think, why don't you break up. Shaking his head, Krystal was very firm in his thoughts, even though Lin Xi in front of him was very shocked. Although she has been with Lin Xi for a long time, she also understands the saying 'I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage', but this time, at this time, she gave this answer very firmly, which shows how much shock Lin Xi said just now shocked her.

However, after saying that, Krystal may have thought of something, and lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But you don't have to worry, I already have a boyfriend now." So calling you to break up doesn't mean what I want to do with you, you can rest assured of this. Even if you're single again, I know there's no possibility between us. ”

"No, that's not what I meant. I'm just surprised, why Xiujing would think of letting me break up with this. Quarreling and breaking up, the two meanings are too different. After pulling the corners of his mouth a little embarrassed, Lin Xi did have this idea just now, but it was only a flash. After that, the bigger doubt is the one asked now.

"Lin Xi, aren't you tired like this? here you have to protect your girlfriend, and over there you have to find all kinds of reasons for each other, and then you have to adjust your mentality. With such a tense spirit, do you really want to see what you will look like after you collapse one day?" Krystal frowned at the man in front of him. Say she doesn't care, that's impossible. And as early as the end of last year, after experiencing the incident in Hong Kong, Krystal wanted to say this to Lin Xi. It's just that she really couldn't find any reason to say it at that time, and seeing that Lin Xi still cared about Kim Taeyeon like that, she understood that it was useless.

But this time, after the incident of the family's parents, Krystal really didn't want Lin Xi to continue like this. Therefore, the mood that I have endured for a long time has finally been completely expressed in the form of 'persuasion' at this moment.

In the end, Krystal, who also knew Lin Xi's character very well, hesitated again. sighed and said, "Breaking up doesn't mean that you can't get back together, I just think that it's not good for both sides to go on with a cold war like this, and it should be more appropriate to be separated for a while." It may be good for everyone to give both parties a little space and time, as well as a real psychological distance to be quiet for a while. ”

This time, Lin Xi was silent.
