Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 134 Krystal's "Battle Record" Based on Physical Examination (Please Subscribe and Vote)
With Krystal's arrival, Lin Xiaolu had one more teacher.

In fact, judging from her current acting skills, Krystal is even slightly better than Yoona. It's just a pity that her resources have been lukewarm over the years, which has prevented her from getting better opportunities.

After finishing their conversation, Lin Xiuyuan drove out and brought back a bunch of food. In the evening, the group had a meal together.

Only then did they send Lin Xiaolu back to 2013, then watch Lin Yoona leave the villa, and finally slowly return to the living room under Krystal's gaze.

"What's wrong, Krystal? The way you're looking at me is making me a little creeped out."

It's already around 8 p.m.

Krystal chuckled softly, "Only those with a guilty conscience are afraid of being watched. Xiuyuan, have you done something wrong lately?"

She had changed out of her previous smart and capable street outfit, and had stepped out of her "cold urban beauty" persona, entering the relaxed atmosphere of the night.

She was wearing a loose white T-shirt with the neckline hanging down naturally, subtly revealing her collarbone and one shoulder line. The fabric was soft and light, and she casually draped it over her body, giving off a slightly lazy vibe.

Her lower body was clad in black and gray sharkskin pants, which perfectly hugged her long, straight legs, revealing glimpses of her curves.

Actually, if Yoona and the other person hadn't been there, she would have been dressed more lightly.

"I have nothing to be ashamed of. No, I don't."

Lin Xiuyuan was indeed right. The two were not dating; they were at most business partners, so saying "no" was a fact.

After all, in the past two days, he has simply gained another business partner.

I have nothing to hide about this.

"That's good. Let's go to sleep."

Krystal, who had only casually struck him with a stick, never expected that Lin Xiuyuan would get together with Da Longzai in just two days.

So after hearing Lin Xiuyuan's answer, she immediately waved to him, preparing to take advantage of the free time to test whether her idea was correct.

Lin Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard her words. "Now? Sleep? It's only a little past 8 o'clock."

"Hmm? Is that not allowed? Who said you can't go to bed after 8 o'clock?" Krystal turned around and smiled, her eyes holding a hint of flirtation.

That smile made Lin Xiuyuan instantly understand what she meant, but he couldn't help asking curiously, "No, aren't you on your period?"

Krystal didn't rush to reply to Lin Xiuyuan's answer.

She simply walked barefoot on the wooden floor of the living room, her long, clean toes dangling slightly. Taking advantage of the cool early summer night, she slowly approached him, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"What, can't we have sex during menstruation?"

She spoke slowly, her tone slightly teasing, but her gaze seemed to pierce through to the heart, making Lin Xiuyuan's throat tighten.

"Consider it a reward for you beating that disgusting guy up for me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan's breathing became heavier involuntarily, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Krystal watched his little expressions with a smile, then suddenly reached out and gently stroked his clean, sharp jawline, continuing in a half-serious, half-joking tone.

"Xiuyuan, if you can answer one more question for me, I'm not unwilling to let you mine this place once more."

After saying that, a few slender fingers slowly slid down to Lin Xiuyuan's Adam's apple and gently brushed it.

"What's the problem?" Lin Xiuyuan's voice was a little hoarse, clearly indicating that he had entered a certain state.

"Are you sure you don't have any special relationship with Yoona unnie? The way she looks at you is a little different."

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

But she still shook her head, "Really not. Could you have seen wrong? Yoona is currently focusing all her energy on Lin Xiaolu."

Krystal stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then smiled, as if relieved of something. "Hmm~ Maybe I'm being too sensitive."

But she didn't expect that she had asked the wrong question.

Then he didn't press further, but just smiled and turned to walk towards the sofa.

As she walked, she twirled the end of her hair with her fingertips and said in a low voice, seemingly casually, "Let's go upstairs and go to sleep."

The voice was very soft, like a gentle evening breeze.

Lin Xiuyuan's gaze involuntarily fell on her long, straight legs and the curves that were faintly visible under her shark trousers.

Then, he subconsciously swallowed hard, took a step, and silently followed.

Although the moment the two stepped into the master bedroom, soft light shone down from above, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, the scent of Krystal walking ahead, cool with a hint of cedar and clean soap.

She glanced back at Lin Xiuyuan, a smirk playing on her lips. Suddenly, she took a step closer and whispered at very close range, "You seem very nervous, Xiuyuan."

Lin Xiuyuan was about to respond when she suddenly pushed him, causing him to fall face-first onto the soft bed.

The mattress made a soft creak, and before he could react, Krystal had already slowly walked over and stopped beside his legs.

Krystal didn't rush to do anything more. She simply squatted down slowly, rested her elbows on his knees, tilted her head slightly, and looked him over with a gaze as deep and cunning as a cat's.

"First of all, let me make this clear: I can give you the reward, and you can try to go deeper into the subject. But... you can't do anything."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her, his expression fluctuating several times, his brows furrowing slightly, but in the end he couldn't hide the spark that had been ignited in his eyes, and he nodded gently.

When Krystal saw him nod, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she had finally taken control.

Then he slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing up the outside of Lin Xiuyuan's thigh, stopping at the hem of his shirt at his waist, gently lifting it to reveal the taut lines of his waist and abdomen.

She leaned closer, her soft hair brushing against his abs, a ticklish sensation that seemed to challenge his self-control.

Lin Xiuyuan's breathing became heavier and heavier, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, but he still did not reach out, as if he was carefully guarding the "rules" she had set.

Krystal, like a cat certain its prey couldn't escape, slowly approached, gently nuzzled his jawline, her nose brushing against his skin, and whispered, "Good, keep being good."

Those slender hands had now moved to his chest, their fingertips gently tracing circles along his skin, each touch precisely teasing his nerves.

A floor lamp in the corner of the master bedroom cast a soft, yet not intense, light, slanting across the side of the bed and elongating the shadows of the two people between the curtains and the wall.

The curtains were off-white, and the fabric was somewhat thick, but it couldn't stop the shadows from swirling around them.

Lin Xiuyuan sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, his shoulders slightly tense, his palms pressed on the mattress.

In the shadows, those hands seemed to be deliberately held down, tightly suppressing some kind of desire.

Krystal's figure was half-squatting in front of him, her silhouette smooth and her curves distinct, her head slightly tilted back.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders, casting shadows on the floor that resembled quietly flowing black lines.

The distance between his crouching figure and his seated posture, though only a few inches on the projection, seemed more like an intertwined whole, ambiguous like the prelude to a silent, spied-on event.

On the floor, their shadows were restlessly close together. Krystal's bare toes curled slightly on the wooden floor, and the direction the light swept across clearly cast this detail in the corner, like some kind of tacitly approved provocation.

The room gradually quieted down, leaving only the two of them breathing, slurping sounds, and the soft rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window.

The next day.

Inside the villa.

The first rays of morning sunlight slanted in through the gaps in the curtains, passing through the light dust particles and landing on the slightly disheveled blankets beside the bed.

The air was filled with the lingering warmth and scent of last night, carrying a fresh laundry fragrance and a subtle aroma of skin touching skin.

Lin Xiuyuan was already awake, leaning against the headboard, his hair slightly disheveled, and his eyes still carrying a trace of lingering weariness.

He glanced down at Krystal beside him. She was nestled against his chest, curled up like a cat, with one hand lazily resting on his waist.

Sunlight gently swept across Krystal's cheeks, giving her fair skin a soft glow.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he had been awakened by some discomfort.

After letting out a soft hum, she slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand and ruffled her hair haphazardly, then half-closed her eyes and rubbed against Lin Xiuyuan's chest.

"Well……"

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still slightly red. She mumbled something casually, "Xiuyuan... my mouth... it's so sore, like I've had a stone in my mouth all night..."

Lin Xiuyuan was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice filled with undisguised lightness, "Your adjective..."

Krystal rolled over, held up her hand to her cheek, and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "My gums are numb. Xiuyuan, I remember we agreed last night that you weren't allowed to hit me."

Lin Xiuyuan coughed, wanting to respond but unsure where to begin, so he simply remained silent and reached out to rub the back of her head.

"Hmph, now you know how to comfort me? Who was it that wouldn't let me move my head last night? I slapped your thigh, didn't I?"

Krystal squinted at him and glared at him, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

The two lingered in bed for a while until Krystal suddenly remembered that she had an appointment with Jessica that day. She then sat up abruptly and pushed Lin Xiuyuan off the bed.

"Oh no, I forgot the time I made with Jessica. Hurry up, get up and wash up, or it'll be noon."

"Then let her wait a bit. Didn't we agree to set a time and place?"

Lin Xiuyuan had barely opened his mouth when she kicked him off the bed without any mercy.

He smiled helplessly, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the restroom.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiuyuan, who had finished washing up, poked his head in. "I'm all done. I'm going out to buy some breakfast. What do you want to eat?"

"Let's see if there's a bakery nearby. Just grab me a red bean one, whatever." Krystal leaned against the headboard, her tone languid. "Okay."

After Lin Xiuyuan left, Krystal sat up in bed, the blanket slipping off her shoulders to reveal a large expanse of her fair skin.

Then he yawned softly, stepped barefoot onto the floor, and walked towards the bathroom with a touch of drowsiness and sleepiness.

After pushing open the door, she immediately went to the sink, leaned slightly towards the mirror, and prepared to check her performance and 'physical examination' results from the previous night.

At first, I didn't notice anything different, so I blinked and then moved closer to the mirror.

It was then that Krystal realized her face...

It seems brighter than yesterday.

That glow isn't oily; rather, it's a hydrated and firm feeling that emanates from deep within the skin.

The tiny pores on the sides of my nose seemed to have been smoothed out, and they even felt incredibly smooth to the touch.

She tilted her head and leaned closer to look at her cheekbone.

The pigmentation that was originally caused by long-term makeup has faded a lot, and the color is no longer heavy, as if it has been refreshed overnight by some kind of "natural repair process".

"real or fake."

Krystal murmured to herself, raising her finger and gently tapping her cheek.

My skin is firm and elastic, and even the slight puffiness under my eyes is less than usual.

This situation made her stare at herself in the mirror for several seconds. Suddenly, the corners of her eyes lifted, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips. She wasn't sure if it was surprise or a hint of smug satisfaction.

"Tsk, this effect seems to have started after that time I didn't wear an umbrella, last night was..."

She muttered to herself, and even though she was a cool and aloof beauty, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot when she thought about the scenes from last night.

But the next second, her eyes in the mirror suddenly became determined, even carrying a hint of eagerness.

If direct 'intimate contact' is truly required to achieve this effect, then perhaps it's not impossible to do it again next time.

Worried about getting infected?

Hmph, at worst, I'll just swallow it again.

……

……

Inside an apartment in Seoul.

Jessica, who had just woken up, was leaning against the window answering Krystal's call.

"Hey, Soojung... What time is it? Okay, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up, she looked up at her bare face in the mirror.

Although there was no makeup, the eyebrows were still clean and neat, but they lacked some of the sharp and refined look they used to have.

Her skin was still fair, the kind of person with naturally good features. Her facial features hadn't changed either; her nose was straight and her lips were beautiful. It was just that fine lines had crept up at the corners of her eyes, like strokes of time quietly falling.

Especially when she smiles, the corners of her eyes, which used to be the most charming, now show faint lines even when she's not showing any emotion.

The skin tone below the cheekbones is slightly uneven, seemingly due to years of makeup application and removal, and there is also a faint trace of fatigue on the chin.

The face no longer looks like the flawless clarity of a young girl, but rather the traces of weariness and composure that come from a mature woman.

She stared at herself in the mirror and suddenly chuckled softly, "Tsk, hehe."

It sounded like self-mockery, but also like a kind of helplessness.

She casually picked up the face cream and patted it lightly on her face, her gaze fixed intently on the almond-shaped eyes in the mirror, which were still beautiful but no longer shone with the light of a young girl.

When everything was ready, it was already 11:30 when I went out.

Then she went downstairs, got into her car, and headed to the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Krystal. During the trip, she received a call from Kwon Ning-il.

The content was very simple: even if the other party didn't plan to stay in Seoul, ask her when she could finish her work here.

Jessica rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Jessica rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it weren't for what happened a few days ago, I would have flown back to Los Angeles or Singapore long ago, instead of being stuck here.

But the tone still gave a clear answer: "Tomorrow."

Shortly after she hung up the phone, the car arrived at the entrance of a restaurant in Mapo-gu. Jessica got out of the car after parking it.

Upon entering, I told the waiter the room number and then followed their directions into the room.

As soon as she entered, her gaze subconsciously swept over Lin Xiuyuan beside her before settling on Krystal's face.

At that moment, she was clearly stunned.

Krystal looked radiant, with smooth and delicate skin, and her eyes shone with gentleness and brightness, making her look completely different from when they parted yesterday.

"You're here, unnie, come in and have a seat."

Upon seeing Jessica, Krystal quickly invited her to sit down and then said, "We eat stir-fries here, what would you like to eat?"

Somewhat absent-minded, Jessica sat down and said softly, "Anything will do."

At the same time, her gaze fell on Krystal's face again, her expression filled with disbelief. Finally, she suppressed her emotions and turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan opposite her.

Lin Xiuyuan was also looking at her at this moment. Their eyes met, and he smiled slightly, his tone and demeanor very appropriate.

Upon seeing that smile, Jessica paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly, "If only you had been that polite that day."

However, Lin Xiuyuan did not feel that he had done anything wrong at the time, so he answered quite frankly.

"You know what, all my reactions that day were just passive defense. I personally think I was pretty polite."

Upon hearing the answer, Jessica gently pursed her lips.

She originally came here intending to have a frank talk with Lin Xiuyuan about Krystal, hoping that he would be sensible enough to leave his sister.

Even if that's not what she said to Krystal yesterday, even if Krystal would be angry if she heard it.

But there was nothing she could do; as the older sister, she couldn't just stand by and watch her younger sister fall for this boy.

The two are very mismatched in terms of both age and status.

Jessica didn't expect that Krystal's condition would change so visibly after just one night apart.

The person's aura, complexion, and even the light in their eyes are different.

Then she instantly realized that it was too late for anything she said today.

This transformation, from the inside out, cannot be explained by the word "just playing around" mentioned earlier.

If there weren't genuine emotions surging within, how could one undergo such a youthful transformation overnight?

Jessica believes her intuition is never wrong.

The "happiness" brought about by these subtle changes almost overflows from the surface of the skin.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that when a woman starts to "age in reverse" around a man, it's not just simple liking, but being completely and utterly infatuated.

She felt she understood.

Because she herself fell headlong into that same pit back then.

For now, things are alright. Judging from the current situation, that guy doesn't seem to have interfered with Krystal's work or cheated her out of money. This is probably the only thing that gives Jessica a little peace of mind right now.

However, Jessica didn't understand Lin Xiuyuan; this guy was a "magical creature" who defied all logic.

Just then, Lin Xiuyuan received a phone call.

So he got up and left the private room.

Jessica, having some free time, could finally interrogate Krystal, and her first question was, "Krystal, are you done with your period?"

Krystal was taken aback. "Huh? What is it? There's nothing here."

"Then why are you in such a hurry? Fighting a bloody battle is very bad for your health." Jessica frowned, looking at the other person with a hint of reproach.

"Fighting a bloody battle?" Krystal's face was full of confusion. "Jessica, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Jessica glanced at her, her tone meaningful, "Look at you, all rosy-cheeked. If you don't do something, I'll go and devour that brat Lin Xiuyuan right now."

Krystal paused for half a second upon hearing this, then her eyes lit up and she smiled expectantly.

"Really? Unnie!"
