Chapter 51

The only TV in Jin Yunho's house was on the first floor, used for guests during the day and by the family at night.

Jin Yunho's room had no other entertainment items, only books. And these books were all from a long time ago, used for his preparation for the judicial examination.

Out of sheer helplessness, Jin Yunho had to revisit these books and pick up some forgotten legal knowledge.

Surprisingly, Jin Yunho really got into it.

Actually, he wasn't reading the content, but rather the memories of the past.

Each book was filled with extensive notes, the fruits of his diligent efforts over more than a decade.

Seeing these again after many years, he couldn't help but be deeply moved, recalling his past.

"Brother, do you have guests? Why didn't you hear me calling you so many times? ... Hey? You're still reading?" Jin Yunxi burst in, shouting.

"Um, I'm just looking through the books I used for my exams. What's up? Who's here?" Jin Yunho explained with a smile.

"Hehe... Brother, it's a beautiful lady? Haha, I'll interrogate you later." Jin Yunxi lowered her voice, speaking mysteriously.

"Crazy girl, go let the guest in." Jin Yunho laughed and scolded her.

A few seconds later, his smiling expression suddenly changed to one of surprise.

Xu Xian and Lim Yoon-a!

"How did you two come here?" Jin Yunho couldn't help but blurt out.

This question made Xu Xian and Lim Yoon-a feel quite awkward.

Xu Xian, feeling extremely guilty, had promised to treat Jin Yunho to ice cream in a moment of excitement, but after calming down, she felt embarrassed and reluctant to see Jin Yunho again.

Lim Yoon-a, on the other hand, had more thoughts.

In recent days, there had been a lot of media coverage about Jin Yunho. Initially, she and Xu Xian had received some attention in the mainstream media for helping Jin Yunho.

However, once the initial wave of interest subsided, public attention shifted to the sex offender case, and the media coverage of Jin Yunho, as well as Xu Xian and Lim Yoon-a, decreased significantly.

Throughout this process, apart from a few words of praise from the media and the public, they hadn't gained much, nor had it brought any significant changes to the Girls' Generation group.

Although this was all arranged by S/M Entertainment, Lim Yoon-a felt guilty towards Jin Yunho. She had taken the initiative to leak information without his consent, which seemed too eager and self-serving.

So, today, she and Xu Xian took a day off to visit Jin Yunho, to explain and apologize.

S/M Entertainment, upon hearing their reason for taking leave, fully supported them. They realized that they had indeed overlooked Jin Yunho's feelings in their haste to leak information, and it was appropriate for Lim Yoon-a to apologize.

Moreover, S/M Entertainment understood Lim Yoon-a's social skills. If she could successfully befriend Jin Yunho, the prosecutor, it would be a significant boost for Lim Yoon-a, Xu Xian, and the entire Girls' Generation.

With S/M Entertainment's support, they appeared at Jin Yunho's house today.

Understanding their purpose and accepting their gifts, Jin Yunho smiled generously and said, "It's no problem, it's a small matter. I don't mind. You didn't have to go through so much trouble to come here. Let's just put it behind us and not mention it again."

"Hehe, thank you, Prosecutor Uncle." Lim Yoon-a felt relieved and her mood improved. She reverted to her usual playful self, calling Jin Yunho by his online nickname without thinking.

"Are you calling me 'Uncle'? I don't think I'm that old, right?" Jin Yunho subconsciously rubbed his chin, surprised.

His two lifetimes of experience made him more mature than his peers, even though he didn't have the mindset of a middle-aged man. His occasional display of a weathered demeanor reflected this maturity.

Especially in the online photo, his mature and manly aura was very strong, which is why netizens called him 'Prosecutor Uncle.'

Seeing Jin Yunho's surprise at the nickname, Lim Yoon-a widened her eyes and exclaimed softly, "You didn't know? That's how everyone on the internet calls you."

"I don't usually go online much." Jin Yunho replied, genuinely unaware of his online nickname. He continued, "Also, don't keep using 'you' and 'you' (formal). I'm not much older than you, so let's use informal language. It makes me feel old when you use formal language with me."

"Hehe, okay." Lim Yoon-a happily agreed. Using informal language not only made communication easier but also brought them closer. She had deliberately mentioned his nickname to bridge the gap between them.

Hearing Jin Yunho's words, Xu Xian smiled but didn't nod. In her worldview, she always respected people older than her and used formal language.

"Please make yourselves comfortable. The room is a bit small, so I apologize for the poor hospitality." Jin Yunho pointed to the cushions in the room and politely invited them to sit. After they sat down, he asked curiously, "By the way, how did you find this place?"

Seeing Xu Xian shyly lowering her head, Lim Yoon-a answered, "This morning, we went to the hospital and found out you had been discharged. Later, our company helped us get your address."

As she spoke, Lim Yoon-a was deeply moved. She hadn't expected Jin Yunho's home to be so poor. She thought, "No wonder he was so frugal before. The reason was here." Her previous disdain for Jin Yunho's frugality dissipated.

After that, Jin Yunho and Lim Yoon-a chatted back and forth, while Xu Xian remained silent, almost invisible.

Soon, a sweet and clear voice interrupted their conversation.

"Brother... Hello, come and have some fruit. I just bought it from the market, it's very fresh!" Jin Yunxi entered with a plate of washed fruit and placed it in front of everyone.

Lim Yoon-a and Xu Xian thanked her and chatted politely with Jin Yunxi. The three of them formally introduced themselves.

After a while, Jin Yunxi said, "Yoon-a, Xu Xian, stay for dinner. My mom told me to make sure you stay. She's cooking right now."

Lim Yoon-a and Xu Xian politely declined, but Jin Yunxi finally convinced them by mentioning her mother.

In Korea, only very close people would eat at someone else's house. Zheng Daqin mistakenly thought that Xu Xian and Lim Yoon-a were close to her son, so she invited them to stay.

Seeing Xu Xian and Lim Yoon-a finally agree, Jin Yunxi showed her little tiger teeth and smiled happily, "Brother, you chat. I'll go help Mom with the cooking."

"Then... we'll go help too." Xu Xian, who rarely spoke, rolled up her white T-shirt sleeves and volunteered, taking Lim Yoon-a with her.

"Ha ha, no need, you wouldn't be a bother. Just keep my brother company; he gets so bored at home. Chat with him." Jin Yunxi said and quickly left, giving Jin Yunho a 'behave yourself' look before she went.
