half an hour ago.

After Lin Xiuyuan was left with two more fresh hickeys on his body by Jessica during the live stream, he practically fled back to his bedroom, seeking a moment of peace and lest any more accidents or live stream mishaps occur.

Back in his bedroom, Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the headboard and listlessly scrolled through short videos on his phone, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He didn't know how much time had passed when his phone suddenly vibrated in his hand, and the incoming call display on the screen surprised him.

It's Krystal.

Looking at the photo, Lin Xiuyuan swiped his finger across the screen and quickly answered, "Hello, Xiujing~"

Krystal's voice, clearly cheerful, came through the phone immediately, "Um, Xiuyuan, when are you coming back?"

"I guess it'll be another two days. What's wrong? Missing me?" Lin Xiuyuan replied with a smile, his tone very relaxed.

Krystal's tone rose slightly, carrying a hint of mystery, "Hehe, guess where I am right now?"

The other person's tone startled Lin Xiuyuan at first, then he paused, and asked with some uncertainty, "Huh? If you're asking like that, you wouldn't happen to be in Shanghai too, would you?"

“No, not at all~” The next second, Krystal’s laughter became clearer, “I’m here at the villa, you know?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan immediately understood what she meant, and smiled, "I understand. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

“Okay, sure,” Krystal replied.

Then, less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, Lin Xiuyuan appeared at the villa through the Anywhere Door.

And I spotted Krystal sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room right away.

Today she wore a well-tailored suit with a light-colored turtleneck sweater underneath, which was both warm and made her look capable and stylish, showing her personal fashion sense.

Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan appear, Krystal's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up from the sofa to greet him.

Then, without saying a word, she hugged the man she hadn't seen for several days tightly.

She buried her face deep in Lin Xiuyuan's neck, like a little animal seeking security, breathing in his reassuring scent.

She let out a soft, satisfied murmur tinged with a hint of coquetry, "Hoo~ What's wrong with me? Lately, I feel like I'm missing you more and more, Xiuyuan~"

Hearing the tender whispers in his ear, Lin Xiuyuan's heart softened, and he smiled as he gently stroked her back and teased her.

"It's like we haven't seen each other in ages, it feels like it hasn't even been a week yet. And didn't you say things would get easier after this busy period? Just a little more hard work, please."

Krystal nodded in his arms, but then twitched her nose and sniffed carefully, as if she had noticed something.

Then she suddenly lifted her head from Lin Xiuyuan's embrace, her eyes narrowed slightly, scrutinizing the man she had just told she "missed" him.

"Xiuyuan~" she said, her tone tinged with suspicion, "This scent on you... it's very familiar."

Faced with this woman's keen sense of smell and skepticism, Lin Xiuyuan didn't try to hide or deny it. He simply spread his hands helplessly and asked in return, "What do you think?"

“Jessica~” Krystal immediately and accurately gave the name, then found it a little funny, rolled her eyes slightly with a hint of exasperation, and continued to ask, “Where is she?”

Lin Xiuyuan pointed in the direction he had come from and explained, "I was live-streaming from my apartment in Shanghai. I was just resting in my room, trying to find some peace and quiet, when you called."

Upon hearing this, Krystal nodded, indicating that she understood.

She then stepped forward again and hugged Lin Xiuyuan tightly, burying her face in his neck once more, as if trying to use his scent to cover up the fragrance that belonged to someone else and bothered her.

However, this time, because her eyes were open, her gaze fell directly on the area below Lin Xiuyuan's neck, and then she keenly caught a strange trace at the slightly open collarbone of his T-shirt.

The shape of that mark brought back a familiar image to her mind.

So Krystal straightened up again, and before Lin Xiuyuan could react, she swiftly and suddenly lifted the hem of his T-shirt.

Suddenly, the strawberry field, even more "horrific" and "densely packed" than the one she had previously created, was exposed to her without any concealment.

Looking at this "touching" picture, Krystal's mouth dropped open. This shocking scene left her speechless for a moment.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she finally managed to squeeze out a shocked and incredulous sentence through gritted teeth, "Is Jessica crazy?!"

A feeling that was hard to define—whether it was jealousy, competitiveness, or simply a sense of absurdity—surged up.

Without further ado, Krystal grabbed Lin Xiuyuan's hand and started walking towards the time portal. "Come on, take me there to find her. I need to have a serious talk with her."

Lin Xiuyuan was amused by her reaction. He then used a little force to steady her in place, while reminding her, "Xiujing, you know you should argue, right? When you did the same to me back then, why didn't you think about the situation?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiuyuan paused, and under Krystal's angry gaze as she turned around, he pointed to the "strawberry patch" on his body and asked a question that made her blush slightly, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

"To be honest, Krystal, do you two sisters share any special interests in this area?"

Krystal, speechless at the question, blushed instantly, glared at Lin Xiuyuan in embarrassment and annoyance, and did not answer directly.

He simply shoved the man in front of him and urged, "Stop talking nonsense! Open the door!"

Finally, with Lin Xiuyuan's reluctant cooperation, the two traveled through a time portal and soon appeared silently in the bedroom of the apartment in Shanghai.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Krystal's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like a detective's.

The slight disarray of the bed, the faint, ambiguous scent in the air mixed with the aromas of Lin Xiuyuan and Jessica... all allowed her to instantly glean a wealth of information.

However, she just pursed her lips and said nothing, then asked Lin Xiuyuan to bring her the phone to see if Jessica's live stream had ended.

It turned out that the live stream room had just displayed "Live stream has ended".

Just in case, Krystal had Lin Xiuyuan refresh the page several more times.

After confirming that there were no unexpected situations, she took a deep breath, grabbed Lin Xiuyuan's hand, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked into the living room.

Then, the scene that had previously shocked and stunned Jessica unfolded. Looking at Jessica's expression—still slightly languid and satisfied after finishing her live stream, yet completely dumbfounded by his sudden appearance—it was astonishing.

Krystal's complex emotions—a mixture of jealousy, amusement, and the satisfaction of catching her husband cheating—reached their peak.

So she raised her chin, a playful smile on her face, and greeted Jessica slowly in a unique, slightly cold yet provocative voice, "Jessica~ I can tell you're not exactly welcoming of my arrival."

Hearing Krystal's meaningful "Jessica~".

After the initial shock, Jessica quickly calmed down.

She let out a soft breath, her calm expression returning to her face. "No, Xiujing, when did you get here? You didn't make a sound."

When asked, Krystal immediately turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was following behind her, before turning her head back and answering him with a smile.

"When did I get here? Hmm... probably while you were busy giving Xiu Yuan hickeys. What's wrong, Jessica? Were you too engrossed in your live stream, or too engrossed in giving him hickeys? Didn't you notice?"

This answer accurately guessed Jessica's "crime scene and method," and also made a barely perceptible blush instantly appear on her fair cheeks.

He immediately turned his questioning gaze toward the culprit, Lin Xiuyuan.

She knew Krystal definitely wasn't here, so it must have been this guy who told them. Traitor, bastard.

Completely unexpectedly, Krystal had just guessed correctly off the cuff.

Lin Xiuyuan had already skillfully turned his head away, perfectly avoiding any possibility of meeting her gaze, and turned to walk towards the refrigerator.

While opening the refrigerator door, she forcefully changed the subject in an incredibly natural tone, "Soojung, would you like something to drink? Juice or water? The fruit here is really good, fresher than what you can buy in Seoul, would you like to try some?"

This familiar figure, who always tries to hide and run away when "war" is involved, made Krystal laugh out loud, and her mood inexplicably improved.

"Sure, I'll just have water."

So after answering Lin Xiuyuan, he didn't press the matter further. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and looked at Jessica, changing the subject to a more normal one, "So, Jessica, how does it feel to be live streaming here compared to when you were in Seoul?"

"the difference?"

Upon hearing this question, Jessica relaxed and leaned back on the sofa to think about it.

"Actually, the live streaming format is pretty much the same. The only difference might be the language of the comments. Here, most of the comments are in Chinese, with some Korean and English mixed in. If it were a live stream in Seoul or back in LA, it would be the other way around, with mostly Korean and English, and some Chinese mixed in."

"Oh, it's a different region, right?" Krystal nodded in understanding, then asked curiously, "Can you understand those Chinese comments?"

As soon as I finished asking, I saw a hint of pride on Jessica's face. She nodded and said, "It's alright. I've really been studying Chinese seriously lately, and I've learned quite a few characters. I can actually understand the general meaning of simple conversations and a few random comments."

Having received the answer, Krystal then thought of a practical question: "Why not find an assistant to help you keep an eye on the comments or translate them? That would be more convenient and comfortable, saving you from guessing randomly."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Jessica pointed directly at Lin Xiuyuan, who was still "busy" in front of the refrigerator, her tone tinged with helplessness.

“I did look for him. I was hoping to count on him, but this temporary assistant ran away at the crucial moment. What could I do?”

Upon hearing this answer, Krystal immediately recalled the few strawberries she had seen at the villa earlier, which were brighter red and fresher than the others, and couldn't help but tease them bluntly.

"Don't say that, Jessica~ If Xiu Yuan really is your assistant, then what you did to him before, wouldn't that be considered 'workplace sexual harassment'?"

Faced with Krystal's sharp teasing, Jessica was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she said confidently, "He enjoys it too, so how can it be considered harassment?"

After saying that, as if to prove herself, she deliberately raised her voice and shouted towards the kitchen, "Lin Xiuyuan~ you tell me yourself, don't you like it?"

The shout made Lin Xiuyuan, who was selecting fruit in front of the refrigerator, tremble and almost drop the grapes in his hand.

Originally intending to hide here, he had no choice but to peek half his head out of the refrigerator, his face clearly saying, "Please let me go."

"Ladies, please keep talking. Can you please stop dragging me into this? If I were to actually say something from the bottom of my heart, you would definitely team up to call me a pervert again. After all, you two are sisters, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to say anything like that."

Sure enough, Krystal was immediately amused by his words.

Jessica glared at Lin Xiuyuan with annoyance.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan quickly withdrew his head. "See? I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already reacting like this. If I were to say something honest, you'd probably go crazy. Never mind, you guys talk, you guys talk."

Just as the atmosphere eased slightly, Krystal suddenly remembered something, and then looked at Jessica seriously in a tone that sounded like a doctor admonishing a patient.

"Jessica, I have a question. It's okay to implant, but don't use too much force when implanting into an artery. If you use too much force, it can cause problems; it's very dangerous."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jessica heard this, she immediately seized the opportunity to retaliate, then looked at Krystal meaningfully, a "I understand you" smile playing on her lips.

"Soojung~ Do you think I'm like you? Xiuyuan told me that the area where you committed the crime last time was much worse than mine."

The next second, it was Krystal's turn to complain playfully towards the kitchen, "Xiuyuan!! Why do you tell her everything?!"

Lin Xiuyuan, who had just taken the fruit out of the refrigerator, smiled helplessly upon hearing the complaint.

This time, however, he didn't try to hide it and explained directly, "Soojung, I didn't tell anyone. Jessica guessed it herself. Besides, you always said that you should be responsible for your actions."

Lin Xiuyuan's gaze swept between the two Zheng beauties, and he couldn't help but laugh as he summarized, "But seriously, you two really are sisters. One of you is only focused on the neck 'plant,' while the other is licking and... oh crap! Don't smash it, don't smash it!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jessica and Krystal grab the cushions next to them almost simultaneously, and with embarrassed and annoyed smiles, throw them accurately at him.

In this situation, Lin Xiuyuan quickly turned sideways and hid behind the refrigerator door, still muttering "appeals".

"Hey~ you guys insisted on dragging me into this discussion, I was just telling the truth. Damn it... Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, alright?"

While complaining, Lin Xiuyuan quickly grabbed some fruit and hid in the kitchen, also dodging two more cushions that were thrown at him.

In the living room, Jessica and Krystal, who had been at odds, exchanged a glance after seeing Lin Xiuyuan's disheveled and dodging manner.

Then, without prior arrangement, they all burst into laughter, completely losing their composure.

For the two sisters, all the competition and bickering was just a source of fun!
