Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 72 Krystal's "Special Reward" (Third update, please vote!)

slap~
The door closed softly.

After sending Jessica Jung, Sulli, and the others back, Lin Xiuyuan and Krystal returned to the villa in 2025.

As soon as she entered the house, Krystal quickly walked to the sofa, then suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan and asked softly, "Are you going to sleep?"

"what?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

Then, seeing that Krystal seemed a bit off today, he half-jokingly and half-probingly said, "What's wrong? What else can you do if you don't sleep? You're not thinking that you're so happy that I brought Sherry back to you that you'd offer yourself to her, are you?"

He thought his words would earn him a glare from Krystal, but to his surprise, she stopped and looked directly at him.

His gaze held a hint of seriousness, but also a touch of inexplicable emotion.

She looked at the boy who had helped her resolve her long-standing inner conflict. He was sunny, frank, and good-looking, and a smile slowly crept onto her lips.

"If you insist, I won't refuse."

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned and stared at her blankly for a few seconds.

He then waved his hand, pretending to be relaxed, and turned to walk upstairs.

"Forget it. You must be in a daze when you suddenly see Shirley. I'm not going to take advantage of you."

Krystal remained standing there, arms crossed, watching his retreating figure with a faint smile.

Ahead, Lin Xiuyuan had just stepped onto two steps when he suddenly stopped, and his right hand, gripping the handrail, tightened involuntarily.

Tsk~
With a soft click, he turned around and stood in front of Krystal again in a few steps. His gaze passed over her eyes, which held a hint of provocation, and he began to scrutinize her without any attempt to hide it.

Krystal did not flinch, but stood calmly in front of him.

She wore a white shirt, Jessica Jung's, with the top two buttons undone, revealing her delicate collarbones and graceful neck. She paired it with high-waisted light blue jeans, which accentuated her slender waist and long legs.

Although she wasn't wearing makeup, her skin was so fair it was almost translucent.

Her eyes and brows carried an innate coolness, yet concealed a subtle, almost imperceptible softness.

Her hair fell naturally, and the slightly curled strands slid over her shoulders as she tilted her head slightly, adding a touch of languid sexiness.

Lin Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze, his throat slightly dry, and said softly, "Krystal, you don't think I wouldn't dare, do you? Don't provoke me, or you'll regret it when something goes wrong."

Upon hearing this, KKrystal smiled and raised her eyes slightly.

"Sure enough, young men talk too much. Let me teach you another lesson: sometimes, you don't need to say too much; actions speak louder than words."

Before she could finish speaking, she had already kissed Lin Xiuyuan before he could even react.

Lin Xiuyuan's pupils dilated violently, as if he had been struck by an electric current, his nerves instantly tensing up.

Krystal's lips were slightly cool, but the moment they touched Lin Xiuyuan's lips, they ignited into flames, burning into the depths of his reason like wildfire.

And her actions were without the slightest hesitation, without the expected probing, and without any girlish shyness.

Only that unwavering, clear impulse and control.

He grabbed the back of his neck with both hands, stood on tiptoe, and pressed closer and tighter.

It was as if all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for years were being poured out in this kiss.

Lin Xiuyuan almost forgot to react at first, letting her take the initiative.

He didn't even dare to close his eyes, but just stared closely at Krystal's trembling eyelashes.

A few seconds later, he finally lost his composure.

He gently placed his hand on her waist, first tentatively grasping it, then as if a string had snapped, his hand slid down her back, pulling her tightly into his arms.

His response was no longer lukewarm, but swift and fiery.

It's like a wildfire spreading, with no way out.

Krystal breathed slightly, but instead of retreating, she advanced, almost crashing into his arms.

The corner of her white shirt billowed up with each movement, revealing a soft line at her waist, alluring and captivating.

The next second, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly bent down and picked her up.

Krystal gasped softly, then immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, her cheek close to his ear as she chuckled, "The third floor is hard to climb, isn't this place just fine?"

Their breaths churned at that moment, and their turbulent emotions spiraled out of control.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Krystal's long-suppressed emotions, tenderness, and desires were finally released tonight.

……

……

The next morning.

The sound of drizzling rain seeped into the room through the half-drawn curtains.

The air still held the warmth of last night; the sheets were disheveled, and the blankets draped to the floor, as if the storm of passion had not yet subsided.

Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes groggily, a strange tension flashing through his mind, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Then she suddenly opened her eyes wide and turned her head to look to the side. Beside her was nothing but an empty bedsheet, still warm from the previous night's events.

His brows furrowed instantly, but the next second he heard the sound of rushing water.

A moment later, the sound stopped, followed by light footsteps approaching from afar.

Lin Xiuyuan looked in the direction of the sound, and the next second, Krystal's figure appeared in his line of sight.

She was only wearing a light gray bathrobe, her hair was wet and hung over her shoulders, with water droplets sliding down, outlining the beautiful lines of her collarbone.

As she walked in, she casually dried her hair with a towel, her steps languid yet exuding an undisguised charm.

Then she walked to the bedside, smoothly loosening the belt of her bathrobe at her waist, letting the soft fabric slip off her shoulders. She didn't avoid Lin Xiuyuan's gaze, displaying the composure and languor of a mature woman as if it were perfectly natural.

Then he bent down and casually picked up the white shirt from the ground, putting it on with ease and naturalness.

The oversized shirt covers the upper thighs, revealing long, fair legs, and the swaying hem adds to the sexiness.

The cuffs covered the knuckles, revealing only a few slender white fingers.

"You're awake."

Standing by the bed, Krystal raised her hand to brush her wet hair aside and raised an eyebrow at him. "Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not going to take responsibility. Consider yesterday's incident with Sherry a reward for you. Don't think anything else about it."

Lin Xiuyuan's Adam's apple bobbed as he propped himself up against the headboard, his voice slightly hoarse, "So this is the demeanor of a mature woman, truly an eye-opener."

Krystal chuckled softly, as if amused.

She then strolled over to Lin Xiuyuan, giving him a lazy glance. "Eye-opening experience? Xiuyuan-xi, you've never seen black stockings, a T-back, or big waves before. What kind of mature woman style is that, right?"

Looking at Krystal's damp hair and the shirt that barely concealed her allure, Lin Xiuyuan paused slightly. "So what are you trying to say?"

"So I mean, I have to go now. Don't get too excited, hahaha."

Krystal teased the young man in front of her a few times, then bent down to pick up her clothes, waved to him, and turned to leave.

Just before disappearing from the other's sight, she stopped and hesitated for a moment before looking at Lin Xiuyuan.

Or perhaps he'd glance at a certain spot on him and say, "By the way, your talent... is amazing. Remember to practice more in the future."

With that, she smiled and left, as free and easy as the wind.

Lin Xiuyuan was left sitting on the bed, still a little dazed. The passion of last night and the carefree attitude of this morning were in stark contrast.

However, one thing is undeniable: he was completely manipulated by Krystal.

the other side.

Krystal spent some time tidying herself up after returning to her room on the second floor. When she came downstairs, Lin Xiuyuan was already waiting for her on the first floor.

However, it wasn't because she was angry, but because she asked with concern, "Didn't you say you were off today? Where are you going so early? It's raining outside."

After drying her hair, Krystal tossed a strand of hair aside, looked down to check that her clothes were dry and in good condition, and then answered Lin Xiuyuan.

"Are you still half asleep? It's already past 11 a.m. Last night, I had a phone call with Yoona unnie and we arranged to have dinner together today. If we go any later, we'll be late."

"Oh, yes."

Reminded, Lin Xiuyuan then remembered this incident. It seems that last night was too blissful, and much of his memory has been erased.

Krystal, seeing this, didn't tease him. She simply instructed him, "Remember to order your food. Also, I've arranged for a cleaning lady to come and clean the house. Remember to open the door for her later. Do the same for the pub."

"Okay, go ahead."

Lin Xiuyuan waved to him, and after watching her leave, he returned to the sofa in the living room to rest for a while.

But before he could even sit down, he remembered that the scene of the incident last night was right here on the sofa.

Looking at the messy embrace and the wrinkles, Lin Xiuyuan finally felt a sense of reality. He had really slept with Krystal, the goddess pursued by millions of fans.

No, it should be said that Krystal slept with him.

Half an hour later, the housekeeper arrived and quickly cleaned the areas Lin Xiuyuan had specified, and replaced the bed sheets with new ones.

Then he went back into the tavern and cleaned up some dust and debris.

After the housekeepers left, Lin Xiuyuan opened the door and returned to 2013.

I need to get things done with Shirley as soon as possible.

And since Krystal gave me an extra reward last night, I can't pretend nothing happened.

Meanwhile, in the timeline of 2025...

Krystal, who had gone out earlier, was sitting face-to-face with Yoona in a restaurant, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, Yoona brought up the topic of the bar's members, "By the way, Krystal, I heard from Jiyeon and the others that you took them to the 'Relief Bar' when it opened, right?"

"Hmm, what's wrong, unnie?" Krystal, who was eating fish, gently raised her eyes, some of the things they had talked about last night flashing through her mind.

Yoona's voice continued, "May I ask how you met that guy?"

Krystal feigned surprise, blinked, and asked, "Unnie, what's this?"

Seeing Krystal looking at her with some 'surprise', Im Yoona didn't hesitate, laughed twice, and answered calmly.

"I'm quite curious about him."
