Chapter Eleven: The Lovely Little Crystal

  Li Shenglin still appreciates Han Shengyan's work attitude, optimistic, enthusiastic, and serious about work. Unfortunately, she often needs to leave, and her working hours are intermittent throughout the day.

  Due to the popularity of "Coffee Prince 1st Shop", this coffee shop still attracts a lot of TV drama fans, and business is not bad. As it mainly sells freshly ground coffee, when there's only one person left, it's really busy. Suddenly, an idea struck, and it turned into a DIY coffee shop, providing only coffee beans, requiring customers to roast and grind them by themselves. It was actually a lazy move, but unexpectedly attracted a large number of young people...

  Before long, it was late October 2007. Li Shenglin's life had not changed much except that Xiaohu had grown up a bit and become more difficult to serve.

  At this moment, it's around 8 o'clock in the evening, but the coffee shop has already closed. There's no way, Hwang Seung-hyun has been coming less and less frequently lately, and his schedule is getting more and more unpredictable. He himself also has to take the college entrance exam in mid-November. Although he's full of confidence, he still needs to adjust his state of mind. If he fails, he can't bear to wait another year, and his family is a scholarly one, how can he face them?

  Suddenly, someone came in. Li Shenglin looked up and saw a pretty little girl of 13 or 14 years old, who was not short at all, probably almost 1 meter 6 tall already, curiously looking around everywhere.

  "Sorry, we're closed and not open for business!" Li Shenglin said while teasing the little Huhu in the stroller.

  "Is this the coffee shop where 'Coffee Prince 1st Shop' was filmed?" Another fan who came to worship.

  At first, Li Shenglin thought it was pretty good, with more fans and more earnings. However, two months have passed and it's still like this, which makes him unhappy. After all, it's not because his own stuff is memorable that he's being remembered, it's really frustrating.

  "Whatever!" Li Shenglin wasn't interested in explaining to her either, although his goal was to find a young and beautiful stepmother for Xiaohuhu, so that his biological mother could roll far away, but he hadn't become a beast to take a liking to a 13 or 14-year-old little girl.

  Then it was silent...

  Li Shenglin took a look and saw that the little girl was staring at Xiao Huhu with wide eyes, her eyes full of stars, "Too cute!"

  Yeah, bragging about his son makes him happier than anything else. Unbeknownst to the little girl, their affection level has already risen to friendly.

  "Thank you!"

  Suddenly, a "gurgling" stomach sound came, looking at the little girl's blushing cheeks, Li Shenglin couldn't help but smile, "Hungry, right? Today I'll make an exception and treat you to a meal!"

  Jung Soo-jung, an SM trainee for just over a year, was also hooked on Korean dramas by her sister, especially the recent hit "Coffee", and has always wanted to come here to experience it in person, but unfortunately, the life of a trainee is too tough and she never had the time.

  I didn't expect that I finally had time today and it's closed, what time is it now? Is this laid-back boss uncle capable of doing business at all...

  Helpless, I had to use the trick of praising BABY, she could remember that when she was a child, every time someone praised her for being beautiful, her parents' smiling mouths couldn't close.

  But I didn't expect that my stomach would growl with hunger, how embarrassing! Damn old man!

  The little girl's resentment is inexplicable. Hum, if the food doesn't taste good for a while, I'll go online and brush you to death, making you completely close down...

  Li Shenglin may not know that this lovely little girl has such an idea in her heart, and is making a cheesecake. However, he might be a bit anxious, and knows that it's not done very well this time, but it should still be passable, after all, you can't let the child go hungry.

  ......

  "Well, the coffee is okay, but the fire timing was a bit off when stir-frying, there's too much cheesecake, some of it didn't melt, and it's too sweet..."

  Hey, since you're speaking so badly, do you need to be so rude?

  Jung Ji-hyun has already decided, after going back will go online and scold this uncle to death...

  "Ah, I was a bit anxious and didn't do well, next time I'll come back and definitely make the best food for you!" Li Shenglin didn't expect that little girl to be so young yet quite a foodie...

  Well, his attitude is pretty good, I'll decide whether he's okay or not after eating with him next time. Zheng Xiujing was a bit hesitant.

  Finally full and satisfied, Zheng Xiujing patted her pocket, only to realize she had left her wallet behind. "Uh... sir, do you need someone to wash dishes here?"

  Li Shenglin immediately understood that he had never intended to take the money, but teasing the little girl and adding some fun to life was not bad, "No need!"

  "Can I have it on account?" Zheng Xiujing really wished she could find a place to hide.

  The result looked at the sloppy old man opposite him with a straight face and said, "Who are you?"

  "I'm a trainee from SM Entertainment. I'll definitely become a big star in the future. If I don't pay you back, you can expose me later, ANTI me!"

  Looking at Xiao Yaotou's serious face, Li Shenglin was laughing in his heart, still with a dark face, "As for the future, let's talk about it later. I've always been a person who only cares about the present!"

  The little girl got angry and said some unkind words, "My sister is Jessica from Girls' Generation, she's a big star!"

  Come on, bro, don't pay attention to these things, huh? SNSD, seems like I've heard of them before, whatever, too lazy to think about it, "Don't know!"

  Sister has always been Zheng Xiujing's pride, although she just debuted, but isn't a young girl group supposed to be the favorite of such an uncle fan? Didn't expect to run into a pervert, "Hey uncle, can I use your phone? I'll get someone to pay for it!"

  On the surface, she seemed fine, but in reality, the little girl had already made up her mind. After a few days, on a dark and windy night, she would definitely go to his house and smash all the windows...

  Li Shenglin also decided not to play along, "No need to make it so complicated, as long as you agree with me on one thing, this meal is on the house!"

  Then, Zheng Xiujing felt that the uncle in front of her had transformed into a sly uncle who lures little girls to catch goldfish with a lollipop, and she was so scared that she took a step back. "You'd better not try anything funny, my dad is a boxer, and I've practiced it too!"

  Li Shenglin was speechless, and instinctively gave Xiaoyu a slap on the head, "You're not big, but your thoughts are so dark. I just want to know what your name is, so that next time you come, I'll know how to address you!"

  Rubbing her slightly aching head, Xiaoshui also felt that she might have overdone it, but still couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, and asked timidly, "Really?"

  "Fake!"

  The little girl was relieved, but her dark personality acted up again. "Huff, uncle, you scared me to death! You have to compensate me for my mental loss, otherwise I'll go back and report to the police that there's a perverted big uncle who wants to take me to catch goldfish..."

  "What kind of person is this? Li Shenglin was speechless, 'I didn't, did I...'"

  "Who do you think the police will believe?"

  I'm off then! Nowadays, even little girls are so formidable, it's not my fault anymore. "Hehe, since that's the case, I won't blame myself, let's just go catch goldfish together!"

  As she watched the grotesquely smiling creature approach her, Zheng Xiujing forgot to punch and forgot to run, only feeling a wave of heat rush towards her, then...

  Rubbing her little head, looking at the silly girl's dazed expression, where was the clever and mischievous look from just now? "Hurry back home, or else more monsters will appear if it gets any later!"

  Jung Soo-jung doesn't remember how she left the coffee shop, only that she seemed to be in a daze and said her name was Krystal, also known as Little Crystal.
