Chapter 4: The Family Banquet (I)

The night in February came so quickly, but after a bus ride, the sky became completely dark, and countless lights lit up brighter than the stars in the sky.

"Do you get off at the front? Xiaoxian. Yuna patted Seo Joo-hyun's arm, who had been staring out the window, leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Yes." Xu Zhuxian withdrew his gaze from the window, nodded, and replied, "Brother Shengyuan will be waiting for us at the station." ”

Thinking of seeing that old-fashioned "uncle" who had a headache again, Yun'er couldn't help but flatten her mouth. Although she met Kim Sung-won through Seo Joo-hyun when she was in elementary school, Kim Sung-won's personality is almost completely opposite to her, so even if they have known each other for so many years, the relationship between the two is not very close, and only Hyun-chan can put up with his old-fashioned personality!

"I saw Brother Shengyuan." As the stop sign approached, Xu Zhuxian's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted softly.

"Where? Where? Show me! After Xiuying heard this, her expression, which was originally a little embarrassed because of fatigue, suddenly perked up, leaned over, and asked Xu Zhuxian against the window glass.

"Isn't that handsome guy standing straight like a pine tree?" Without waiting for Xu Zhuxian to answer, Xiuying said again.

"Hmm." Xu Zhuxian nodded and said.

Yuri and the other girl couldn't help but look out the window, but Yuna ignored it.

"Standing straight like a pine tree? I can't imagine that guy is still as old-fashioned as before. Yuna muttered quietly.

"Good temperament and good spirit." Yu Li also nodded, and commented, "It's not really standing straight like a pine tree, but it's a temperament, and it feels like this." ”

"Hmm," the other girl, who had rarely spoken, nodded in agreement.

"It's here! Let's get off the bus quickly, it's not clear here. "Xiuying is even more anxious than Seo Joo-hyun.

"Sister Xiuying, you should be careful to frighten Brother Shengyuan like this." Yoona smiled and patted Suyoung's arm as she adjusted her mood and stopped using the title "that guy".

Kim Sung-won spent the afternoon getting acquainted with Seoul National University under the guidance of Mr. Park Sang-won (the Chinese language teacher at Seoul National University), until he received a call from Seo Joo-hyun, and he used the excuse of having something to get rid of the overzealous teacher.

After Kim Sung-won hurried back, he only had time to process the haode ingredients he bought for a while, when he received a text message that Seo Joo-hyun was about to arrive, and put on a coat and came to the station to wait.

"Brother Shengyuan," a crisp voice with a hint of childishness sounded from the door of the car.

"Xiaoxian." Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took the bag in Xu Zhuxian's hand.

"Brother Shengyuan (senior) Hello." Yuna and three other equally immature little girls walked behind Seo Joo-hyun and said at the same time.

"Hello." Kim Sung-won had already received a text message from Seo Joo-hyun, so he was not surprised, and took the bag in Yun'a's hand with a smile.

"Why is Yuna here too? You should wish you could get as far away from me as possible. Jin Shengyuan led the five people to his residence.

"Hehe......" Yuna didn't know how to answer, so she could only let out an embarrassed laugh. Since they met, she has been looking at the "Brother Shengyuan" in front of her with curiosity, who does not match the image in her memory.

Because he has just retired, he has a head of hair, a little messy, but he looks extraordinarily energetic. Suddenly growing to a height of more than 1.8 meters, slender but not thin, the exposed skin presents a healthy bronz. Thick eyebrows, straight nose, ports, and the iconic deep person, one by one, there is not much change from before, but the original very ordinary facial features, but now with a trace of inexplicable temperament, it looks ...... Well, it's very flavorful.

Seo Joo-hyun introduced the other three to Kim Sung-won one by one: Choi so-young, the tallest, Yori with slightly dark skin and braces, and Jessica, who looked a little indifferent.

Although Xiuying was very cheerful before, she is like everyone at the moment, quiet and elegant and polite.

"What a beautiful house!" A few minutes later, a small two-story building with a milky white and red roof appeared in front of everyone, and a small courtyard in front of the door, surrounded by a white fence.

"The owner here has something to do abroad, so I rented it." Jin Shengyuan explained simply.

Xu Zhuxian's eyes sparkled at the house in front of her, although the area is small, but it is elegant and exquisite, which is completely in line with her aesthetics. …,

"Let's go in first, it's dark and cold outside," Jin Shengyuan said with a smile, "I'll give you a key in a moment, and you can come over at any time." ”

"Yikes!" Suyoung's eyes widened in surprise, and she quietly stabbed Yuna in front of her, pointing at Seo Joo-hyun and Kim Sung-won.

Yun'er's mouth narrowed slightly, and she didn't explain to Xiuying, but said to Jin Shengyuan: "Brother Shengyuan, Weishenme only gave Xiaoxian the key?" I want it too! ”

As soon as she spoke, Yun'er showed a slight look of embarrassment, looking left and right to divert her attention. Although she and Jin Shengyuan have known each other for more than five years, the relationship between the two has always stayed at the shallowest level, and these words are like children competing for candy.

Jin Shengyuan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Yun'er, who had been calling herself "uncle" behind her back, would actually behave so familiarly, was it because a friend came with her?

"Is Xiaoxian different from you? You're all in this together. Besides, I think Xiaoxian is more reliable than you, don't I? Jin Shengyuan looked at Yun'er, who was a little flustered, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a smile.

"Hee-hee-......" The other three girls let out a chuckle when they heard this, and they all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Yuna's personality is like a little boy, jumping out and lively, compared to Xiaoxian, who is a year younger, she is calm and more trusting.

"Humph!" Yuna snorted slightly, but she couldn't defend herself.

"You can sit down and use this as a dormitory." Entering the house, Jin Shengyuan casually threw his coat on the sofa and said to the five people, "I'll go and prepare dinner for you." ”

"We're here to help, too." Jessica said hurriedly, pulling Yun'a, who was sitting on the sofa unceremoniously.

Jin Shengyuan rolled his eyes, looked at Yun'er, who didn't say anything, and said, "The kitchen is too small, and there are too many people to get in the way, so it's good for Yun'er to come and help me." You and Xiaoxian just wait, there is a computer in the upstairs bedroom. ”

"Me?" Yun'er was still recalling the situation just now, but she suddenly won the lottery unexpectedly, and nodded to herself in disbelief.

"Why are you half a master, do you want the guests to help?" Jin Shengyuan said unceremoniously.

"Okay." Yuna said a little dazed, she didn't know when her relationship with Jin Shengyuan became so close.

"Xiaoxian, tell me honestly what is the relationship between you and Shengyuan seniors?" As soon as Kim Sung-won and Yun-a left the small living room, Xiu-young hooked Seo Joo-hyun's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Yun'er is not honest, and she also said that her relationship with Sungwon's predecessors is not good, and she has become half a master." Aren't you the real master of this place, Xiaoxian? ”

"Yes, Xiaoxian's personality is not the type that can be easily approached, let alone accept the key to the other party's house!" Yori nodded and said, even Jessica, who had always been quiet, looked at Seo Joo-hyun with curious eyes.

"Brother Shengyuan is like a brother to me." Xu Zhuxian explained softly as always, "Brother Shengyuan was alone when he was a child, working and studying at the same time. Brother Shengyuan used to study piano at my mother's school, and my mother liked Brother Shengyuan very much. Brother Shengyuan had been living in my house before he became a trainee. ”

"Oh." After Xiuying and the three of them listened, they understood.

"But Shengyuan's predecessor's figure is so good, but his complexion is a little dark, and it's just right to be a good pair with Yu Li." Xiuying's eyes rolled and she said suddenly.

"Yikes! Sister Xiuying, what nonsense are you talking about! After hearing this, Yu Li was so embarrassed that she reached out to screw Xiuying.

"Brother Shengyuan was sunburned like this." Seo Joo-hyun didn't seem to allow others to say a little about Kim Sungwon's shortcomings, and explained, "Brother Sungwon served in Dokdo for two years before he became like this. ”

Seo Joo-hyun said, and also told the three of them about Dokdo that he had found on the Internet.

"No wonder the Shengyuan seniors are so temperamental!" Xiuying exclaimed.

Before, Jin Shengyuan just stood at the stop sign at random, and did not deliberately raise his head, but he felt like a pine tree standing proudly, even in the bustling crowd, it was like standing out from the crowd, which was very obvious.

"Didn't Brother Shengyuan say that there is a computer in the bedroom upstairs, let's go up and have a look, it's convenient to talk." Yuli whispered.

Although the small building where Kim Sung-won rents has an elegant appearance, the space inside is very limited, the living room and kitchen are connected, there is a separate bathroom, and then there is the bedroom on the second floor. …,

Xiuying and the others tried to keep their voices as low as possible when they spoke, so as not to be heard by Jin Shengyuan, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

Xu Zhuxian also came here for the first time, and after thinking about it, he walked upstairs with the three of them.

"Wow! Wow! Yuli, who was the most curious, walked in the front row, pushed open the hidden door of the bedroom, and couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? After Xiuying heard this, she pushed Yu Li hard and rushed in.

"Wow! That's a lot of books! ”

Compared to the simplicity of the first floor, there is only one bedroom on the second floor, so the space is very rich. The first thing that catches your eye is the sky-blue curtains, and a large bed large enough for four adults to sleep side by side, which is clean and clean, and the futon must be placed in the cupboard above the bed.

Next to the queen bed was a desk, no chair, on which lay a laptop and a few stacked books. Next to the desk is a delicate piano and a guitar hanging from the wall.

In addition, there are bookshelves clinging to the two walls, which are densely packed with books, and there are vague categories.

"Xiaoxian, the personality of the Shengyuan predecessor is even more exaggerated than yours." Suyoung said to Seo Joo-hyun, whose eyes were shining.

"What is this word? I don't understand it at all. Yu Li had already come to the desk, picked up a book and flipped through it, but helplessly found that she couldn't read a word.

"I'll see!" Xiuying was suddenly overjoyed, leaned over to take a look, and then deflated like a deflated tire: "I don't know either." ”
