Chapter 2 Encounter on the Street
After everything was done and Pani's practice life was on track, he found out that the two did not exchange numbers when they wanted to contact Lin Xiyan.
Lost contact! Pani looked at the screen of his phone in a daze.
"Pani, what's wrong?" Sika noticed Pani's strangeness.
"Ani, didn't you say that it was a very handsome oppa who sent me? We didn't leave a number!" Pani was a little discouraged.
"That's what you've been talking about these days?" Xika thought for a while.
"There is really no dead corners inside!" Pani showed an ugly smile on his face.
Coincidentally, the two were friends in the United States, but since Sika returned to China with her parents, she gradually lost contact.
I didn't expect to meet again in South Korea.
"Don't be sad. Anyway, the oppa you mentioned has opened a store in Seoul, and maybe you will meet it," Sika hugged Pani from behind, putting her chin on Pani's shoulder. "Let's go shopping together when you rest this weekend, and Yu Li will go together."
"Ne," Pani responded weakly.
......
On March 25, the sun is shining.
In a week, Park Min-kyung had already basically understood his president nim.
The body belongs to the appearance association, in addition to the elegant male temperament, it also has some funny attributes.
The affinity is first-class. The mental state of the other waiters in the store was visible after a few minutes after arriving on the first day.
"So, President nim, have you decided not to hold the opening ceremony?" Park Min-kyung looked helplessly at Lin Xiyan's back standing by the window on the second floor.
Lin Xiyan did not turn around, "Anyway, I don't know anyone here. It's better to invite you to have a cup of coffee if you have the money to hold the ceremony."
"Forget it, President Nim's coffee is so good. What should we do if we get used to it?" Park Min-kyung shook his head with a wry smile.
Park Min-kyung is telling the truth. When he received the freight signing information, he thought it was just an ordinary coffee bean.
After opening it, I found that it was almost all the world's top coffee beans.
Such as the rosia coffee produced in Ethiopia, Panama, and Colombia, Mantenin coffee in Indonesia, and Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica, etc.
At that time, I had questions about whether the price of coffee was too high. When the store was renovated, half of the questions in my heart were gone, and when I received the coffee beans, I eliminated my other half's doubts.
In this way, the "traveler" located on the streets of Myeongdong, Seoul, South Korea opened in a low-key manner.
There were no customers in the first few days, and most of them were persuaded to withdraw from the store at a high price. However, the decoration style carefully designed by Lin Xiyan's mother, a top designer who won the IIDA International Design Award, still opened their horizons.
Therefore, in the initial stage, travelers gained a considerable reputation in the Seoul circle with their top decorations.
It was not until a professional coffee tasting expert visited the shop and revealed that the coffee beans used were one of the world's top batches, which caused a stir.
Some citizens believe that it is just to start a hype of store fame, but after the store manager Park Min-kyung came up with strong evidence, the doubts disappeared instantly.
Travelers have become a benchmark for coffee shops. Although the prices are high compared to other shops, the prices seem to become more affordable due to their own quality.
For those who are passionate about American coffee culture, authentic coffee makes some people feel that this elite life is more convincing.
Lin Xiyan carried a small bag every day, radiating his travel map little by little to the outside with the store as the center.
Every day, I go out early and come back late, and learn the living habits of Koreans through constant observation.
More than a month after the store opened, Lin Xiyan walked towards a square near Myeongdong with roller skates on his back.
A few days ago, I accidentally heard that there was a fancy skating and extreme skating competition. As a senior enthusiast, of course I should not miss it.
"?????????????????ha, (What I want is to look like you have confidence)" The soft music came from the square not far away, and it should be about to start.
When he heard the music, Lin Xiyan couldn't help but speed up his pace, and his appearance order was the fifth.
When Lin Xiyan ran to the waiting area, he saw several dance performance teams in front of him packing up their equipment and preparing for the midfield performance that would be waiting for a while.
Lin Xiyan also quickly removed the roller skates, checked that there was no problem and put them in place, and did several sets of warm-up movements.
When the fourth contestant came on the court, Lin Xiyan also stood at the appearance position in advance and made final preparations.
At this time, at the other end of the square, Tiffany was hanging out with Jessica, who also returned from the United States and her newly-know trainee friend Quan Yuli.
"Sika, how long hasn't we met since you returned to China? I really didn't expect you to be a trainee at SM company." Tiffany said happily.
"It means you two are destined to be together!" Quan Yuli said with a smile. She didn't expect that the trainee she had just met met Jessica, who had been practicing in the company for several years. Both of them were born in the same hospital.
After hearing Yu Li's words, Jessica nodded in agreement, and then focused on the gadgets on the street. She hadn't come out for a long time.
"No, that's right!" Tiffany said happily, then with his iconic smile again, "But it's a pity that I didn't keep the previous phone number of Xiyan Oppa. I can't introduce you to my first friend who met me in Korea!"
"Un, we have heard this many times during this period. Is that Agassi really so handsome?" Quan Yuli said helplessly. Although Jessica was not focused on chatting, she rolled her eyes after hearing Tiffany's words.
"Super handsome!"
"There are so many people gathering in the square over there. Is there any activity? Let's go and have a look!" Yu Li saw the crowd in the square and the faint music, and suddenly wanted to join in the fun.
"Let's go!" Yu Li and Tiffany ignored Sika's resistance and dragged them towards the square.
By the time the three of them found a suitable viewing position, Lin Xiyan had already started playing. He performed the moves of the KSJ player winning the Kwang in 2003
The whole set of movements was elegant and powerful. At the end, Lin Xiyan was already breathing a little.
This set of movements has not been practiced for a while, and some of the connection movements are directly completed by one's own control and are not connected in place. Wipe the sweat from the face and thank the audience around.
Tiffany looked at Lin Xiyan's back and felt a little familiar. When Lin Xiyan turned around, he blurted out: "Xiyan oppa!"
"mo?" Yu Li and Xika were stunned for a moment. Such a coincidence?
"That's right, it's him. I'll take you to find him!" After saying that, Tiffany squeezed towards the other side excitedly.
Since the last time she separated at the door of SM company, she wanted to contact Lin Xiyan on the weekend and went out to visit Seoul, she found that the two did not leave any contact information.
In the backstage waiting area, Lin Xiyan is tidying up his equipment and clothes, preparing to rest and wait for the final ranking to be announced.
"Lin Xiyanxi, these girls say they are your friends and I have something to come to you." A staff member brought Tiffany and the other two over, but Tiffany hid behind Yu Li.
"Hmm?" Looking at Yu Li standing in front, Lin Xiyan showed a confused look. It seems that he had never seen this little girl after coming to Korea, right?
"Hello, Lin Xi, Lin Xi!" Yu Li was a little shy. As expected, Lin Xiyan was as Tiffany said, and her appearance was a perfect man.
"Well, hello, is there anything you need to ask me for?" Lin Xiyan still didn't understand the situation, turned around and looked at Xika who was standing next to Yu Li, but he didn't know him either!
"Agassi! Do you still remember me? Hahaha." Tiffany suddenly jumped out from behind Yu Li.
"Oh, Damn!" Lin Xiyan was startled by Tiffany's face when he appeared and leaned closer. He said a word about national treasures. He couldn't help but hide back and almost fell to the ground.
Yu Li and Xika, who were standing in front, couldn't help laughing.
"Haha!" Tiffany was even happier when he saw Lin Xiyan who was frightened.
"Tiffany is you! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Lin Xiyan came to his senses.
"Yes, yes, I wanted to find you to play with, but we didn't exchange contact information!" Tiffany nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "You won't find Xiyan Oppa!"
"No, I thought of this later," Lin Xiyan pulled the corner of her mouth with difficulty, and was trying hard to think of a suitable reason in her mind. "Later I thought I could go to find you, but considering that you might be busy, I didn't go."
"Oh, then I'll forgive you. I'm really busy practicing. I don't have enough rest time every day. Today, it's the rest day specially approved by the director for all trainees!" Tiffany didn't pay attention to Lin Xiyan's expression.
Yu Li, who was on the other side, looked at Lin Xiyan's expression, guessed something, and covered her mouth and chuckled twice.
Hearing the sound, Lin Xiyan remembered that there were two people standing beside him, and stood up embarrassedly, "Sorry, I forgot you when I chatted with Tiffany."
"It's okay, Lin Xiyanxi, you can talk to Tiffany. We just went shopping. I didn't expect to see someone who Tiffany has been talking about for so long!" Yu Li waved his hand and said he didn't have to care.
"Then you wait for me a little bit, and I'll wait for the event here to end. Please go to the store for coffee!" Lin Xiyan looked at Tiffany and the other two and invited.
"Okay, I've heard Tiffany say you are the president of the coffee shop." When Sika heard the coffee, she suddenly came back to her senses from her empty state.
Then, at the invitation of Lin Xiyan, the three of them followed Lin Xiyan along the road and slowly walked towards the "traveler".
Along the way, Tiffany was talking to Lin Xiyan about life as a trainee in Korea and headaches when learning Korean, and also about the loss after discovering that the two did not exchange numbers.
Compared to Tiffany's busy days, Lin Xiyan is much more comfortable. He doesn't have to worry about the matters in the store, and he just goes out to let go every day. It can be said that Lin Xiyan may be familiar with Sika, a person who has been in Seoul for several years.
I envy such days, and the three of them showed a look of yearning for each other.
Traveler's doorstep.
Looking at the signboards hanging and the decoration with a full sense of design in the store, Tiffany and the other two felt that their minds were not turned around.
"Dafa, is this Xiyan Oppa's store? I have seen an introduction online and said that they are all the most authentic top coffee beans! There are also great desserts!" Tiffany turned around and asked, "It's just that the price is too high for our trainees who don't have income, and I haven't had the chance to taste it."
"Well, thank you for your blessings from netizens, your business has been good recently, which is completely different from what I originally thought." Lin Xiyan was a little helpless. At the beginning, he only wanted this coffee shop to open quietly, but now it completely deviated from his original intention.
"President nim, you are back! What's the game today?"
When he opened the store door, the clerk in charge of the reception asked with a smile, as if he was very close to Lin Xiyan.
"It's okay, fourth place! Just a little bit, I can come back with a sign!" Lin Xiyan nodded seriously, but the words in his mouth were filled with a relaxed and close smell. Then he turned sideways and pointed to the three people behind him, "The three of them are my friends, arrange a seat for us."
"You go with Zhiyou first. Please order what you want to drink yourself. If you don't know, please ask Zhiyou. I'll go upstairs to wash up." Lin Xiyan signaled Tiffany and the other two to follow the clerk and prepare to go to the small room on the second floor to wash up to avoid failure.
"What are you drinking from Xiyan Oppa?" Yu Li asked. When he came back, Yu Li and the other two also communicated with Lin Xiyan as Tiffany's name.
"Yiyou know, let's see what you want to eat first. I'm all signs here!" Lin Xiyan said proudly, and went upstairs directly.
When Lin Xiyan went downstairs, he saw three people attacking against a few cakes, and were still discussing what taste was good.
Girls still like desserts! Lin Xiyan thought.
At night, after tiffany and the other two said goodbye to Lin Xiyan, they walked slowly along the street, preparing to take a walk and then return to the dormitory.
The moonlight is beautiful, and the gorgeous lights on the streets of Mingdong are also illuminating one by one. It is still some time before the nightlife of office workers begins.
Lin Xiyan stood in the second floor studio, watching the three of them gradually leaving, and at some point he had already picked up the brush.
Under the street lights, the shadows of the three people gradually lengthened, and the three people also ended the rare rest day.
Tiffany seemed particularly happy to contact her friends again and jumped all the way.
Chapter completed!
