Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 244 Kim Sung-kyun Caught in the Act

"Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing. Dad's inside. He just had something to talk to Shuyu about, and they're talking about it now. I'll wait for him outside."

Deok-sun explained.

"Your father? Oh! Is he our Deputy Minister Cheng Dong-il?"

Kim Sung-kyun said in an exaggerated tone, then asked curiously.

What was he doing in there?

Deok-sun shook her head.

"How long has he been inside?"

Kim Sung-kyun continued to ask.

Deok-sun shook her head at first, then thought about it for a moment.

"Hmm? ~ It's been about ten minutes."

Deok-sun turned her rusty brain and tried to recall something.

"Oh!"

"Is this guy drinking in there?"

"Good grief, here they are again, coming to Shuyu's house to freeload on drinks!"

Kim Sung-kyun looked at Deok-sun as if he had just realized something and said.

"I'll go and drag him out for you."

Deok-sun's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily, placing her hopes of getting home quickly on Kim Sung-kyun.

However, she seemed not to notice that Kim Sung-kyun was muttering something before he turned to leave.

"You didn't even invite me to join you for drinks..."

..........

Let's rewind to 10 minutes earlier, inside the room.

After everyone else left, only Cheng Dongri and Liu Shuyu remained.

Looking at Cheng Dongri's smiling face, Liu Shuyu couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

"Uncle..."

"Book......"

Liu Shuyu was about to ask when he didn't expect Cheng Dongri to be so tacit.

"You go first, you go first~" x2

"Haha~"

"Haha~"

They exchanged an awkward smile, and Cheng Dongri slowly put away his smile, looking at Liu Shuyu with a rather serious expression.

"Um, I'll say it."

"Shuyu, I've come today because there's something I want to ask you."

Somewhat embarrassed, Cheng Dongri turned his head to glance behind him, then looked around to confirm the surroundings before leaning forward and whispering.

"Deok-sun's mom, your aunt, she's going to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."

"but......"

"She told me there was a lump under her chest."

"Uncle wants to ask you, do you think you know so much about this alley?"

"Will there be any unexpected events?"

After Cheng Dongri finished speaking, he looked at Liu Shuyu with a solemn expression and a hint of expectation.

Liu Shuyu finally understood. Sigh~

Seeing how serious he was made me nervous too.

I thought it was something terrible, like the sky falling down.

So that's what happened. It was just a false alarm, and Liu Shuyu hadn't taken it to heart at all, almost forgetting that this had even happened.

However, for Sung Dong-il, it was truly a devastating event.

Seeing that he seemed to be distracted in thought, Cheng Dongri felt a pang of anxiety and quickly asked.

"Shuyu, will you be alright?"

People tend to ask questions in the direction they want to be asked.

Hearing him ask that question, Liu Shuyu could already sense his worry for Li Yihua.

"Don't worry, uncle."

"It'll be fine, it's probably just a lump."

"Even if something happens, with me here, there won't be any problems."

Liu Shuyu patted his chest and nodded solemnly to him.

Seeing that he said that, Cheng Dongri felt a little relieved.

But after a while, I noticed that he still looked rather serious.

Liu Shuyu got up, walked to the wine cabinet, took out two glasses, and picked up a bottle of wine.

I poured him a glass.

"Since you're already here, Uncle, have a drink before you go back."

"Have some drink, it'll help you sleep better tonight."

Liu Shuyu raised his glass in invitation.

"Never mind, I won't drink tonight."

Although Cheng Dongri's concerns had lessened considerably, they were not entirely gone.

He remained anxious until he received the results, and he even lost his appetite for his favorite drink.

"Shuyu, thank you."

"It has put my mind at ease."

Cheng Dongri smiled again, looking at Liu Shuyu with a grin.

"Okay, Uncle, I'm free tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital."

Liu Shuyu spoke up.

"That's so embarrassing!"

Cheng Dongri said he was sorry, but his hand was already tightly holding Liu Shuyu's hand.

"It's nothing, it's nothing anyway."

"Then thank you!"

"Oh, you're too kind!"

Just as the two bowed humbly to each other, clasped hands, and prepared to usher in a new era...

Bah~

Just as we were getting into a touching moment, an untimely voice rang out perfectly at the right time.

This interrupted the awkward and touching moment that was about to unfold between the two men.

"Aigoo~!"

"President Cheng!"

"President Liu!"

Kim Sung-kyun pushed open the door and shouted loudly.

Cheng Dongri suddenly turned around and looked towards the door, and Liu Shuyu also turned his head to look.

Jin Chengjun took three steps at a time, and in just a moment, he stepped forward and pushed open the living room door. Looking up, he saw Cheng Dongri with a bewildered expression holding Liu Shuyu's hand.

The two men bowed humbly to each other, and there were wine glasses on the table.

"I'm saying, I know you guys are as close as brothers, but do you have to be so close that you're holding hands and bowing to each other?"

"And what's this? Is it a toast?"

The word "交" was drawn out, and Jin Chengjun continued to tell his dry jokes, which were half cold and half cheesy.

Cheng Dongri released Liu Shuyu's hand and looked at Jin Chengjun with indignation.

"Hey! You're such a character!"

"How to talk!"

"Really!"

Sung Dong-il raised his right hand and made a backhand slapping motion.

Kim Sung-kyun, who had just approached, smiled and dodged.

"Oh, just kidding~"

"Shuyu, I could smell the alcohol from far away. I'm not late, am I?"

Kim Sung-kyun said without any awkwardness.

"No, no, you've come at the perfect time."

Just as Liu Shuyu was answering him, Cheng Dongri kept cursing at Jin Chengjun without making a sound.

Turning around and seeing Sung Dong-il's resentful expression, Kim Sung-kyun pushed up his glasses and said with a grin.

"Hey, President Cheng, when we drink, we drink together!"

"Shuyu has no objections, so why do you seem to have so many?"

Kim Sung-kyun joked.

"Oh, right, Deok-sun is still waiting for you at the door."

"Why do you keep quiet when you drink?"

"Are you guarding against me?"

Kim Sung-kyun thought of Deok-sun and asked curiously.

He really didn't understand this.

"Oh! Deok-sun!" Sung Dong-il suddenly remembered, his mouth agape.

"Um, Shuyu, thank you for today."

"I'll leave first."

Cheng Dongri bowed again in thanks, and Liu Shuyu quickly returned the bow.

"Hey, President Cheng, aren't you drinking anymore?"

Kim Sung-kyun shouted.

"You drink it yourself, I'm not drinking it."

Cheng Dongri said without turning his head.

"Oh my god, this is insane, absolutely insane."

Kim Sung-kyun stared in disbelief as Sung Dong-il scurried away like a crab.

"When did President Cheng stop drinking?"

"The sky has fallen?"

Kim Sung-kyun suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

Then he lowered his gaze and looked at Liu Shuyu.

"Uncle Cheng doesn't want to drink today, let's drink instead."

Kim Sung-kyun immediately rubbed his hands together with a broad smile, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Who cares about Sung Dong-il when there's alcohol to drink?

He looked energetic and didn't seem to be in any trouble.

Besides, after drinking, you can just ask your wife when you get home and she'll know everything.

In this alley, there aren't many secrets between neighbors.
