Chapter 132: Krystal who

With Krystal's arrival, Lin Xiaolu had one more teacher.

Actually, judging from the acting skills shown so far, Krystal was even slightly better than Lin Yun'er, it's just a pity that her resources had been lukewarm all these years, so she didn't have a better development opportunity.

And Lin Xiuyuan, after finishing the topic, drove out to pack a pile of food and brought it back. In the evening, the few of them had a meal together.

Only then did he send Lin Xiaolu back to 2013, then watched Lin Yun'er leave the villa, and finally slowly returned to the living room under Krystal's gaze.

"Why, Krystal, your gaze makes people feel a bit creepy."

The time now had reached around 8 o'clock in the evening.

Krystal heard this and smiled lightly, "Only guilty people are afraid of being stared at. Xiuyuan, have you done anything guilty recently?"

At this moment, she had changed out of the capable and cool outfit she wore earlier, and her whole person had retreated from the state of "urban cold beauty" and entered the relaxed atmosphere of the night.

She was wearing a loose white T-shirt, the neckline drooping naturally, faintly revealing her collarbone and one side of her shoulder line, the fabric soft and light, draped casually on her body, carrying a bit of laziness.

And the lower body was a pair of black-gray shark pants, wrapping her pair of straight and slender beautiful legs just right. The curves were faintly visible.

Actually, if Lin Yun'er and the other weren't there before, she would have worn something cooler.

"What guilty thing, none."

Lin Xiuyuan was indeed right; the two weren't dating, at most they were partners, so saying "none" was also a fact.

After all, in these two days, he had at most gained one more partner.

This matter wasn't guilty.

"If there's none, then good, let's go, time to sleep."

Krystal, who had just casually thrown a stick, didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to have gotten together with Dalongzai in just two days.

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

And Lin Xiuyuan, upon hearing her words, was shocked, "Now? Sleep? It's only past 8."

"Hmm? Can't I? Who said you can't go to bed after 8." Krystal turned back and smiled, her eyes hiding a trace of provocation.

This smile made Lin Xiuyuan understand her meaning in seconds, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "No, aren't you in your period?"

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's answer, Krystal didn't rush to answer.

She just stepped barefoot on the wooden floor of the living room, her long and clean toes wiggling, taking advantage of the coolness of the early summer night, walking slowly toward him, the corners of her mouth hooking into a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Why, can't I go to bed during my period?"

She spoke slowly, her tone containing a bit of teasing, but her eyes were like piercing through the heart, staring at Lin Xiuyuan until his throat tightened.

"Just take it as a reward... for you fiercely beating that disgusting guy for me."

As the words fell, Lin Xiuyuan's breathing became heavier involuntarily, and he swallowed several times.

And Krystal looked at these little expressions of his with a smile, suddenly reaching out to gently stroke his clean and sharp jawline, continuing in a tone that was half-true and half-false.

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

After saying that, a few slender fingers slid slowly to the Adam's apple on Lin Xiuyuan's throat, sweeping it lightly.

"What question?" Lin Xiuyuan's voice was a bit hoarse, obviously having entered a certain state.

"Are you sure you don't have any special relationship with Yun'er Unnie? The way she looks at you is a bit different."

Once these words were out, Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

But he still shook his head, "Really none, could it be that you saw it wrong, Yun'er's energy is all spent on Lin Xiaolu now."

Krystal stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then smiled, as if putting down something, "Hmm~ maybe I'm too sensitive."

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

Then she didn't continue to force the question, just smiled lightly, turned, and walked toward the sofa.

As she walked, she wrapped her fingertips around her hair tips, whispering as if casually, "Let's go, go upstairs to sleep."

The words were very light, like a night wind blowing by.

And Lin Xiuyuan's gaze also involuntarily fell on her long and straight legs, and the curves faintly visible under the shark pants.

Then he subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple, took a step, and followed silently.

Although the moment the two stepped into the master bedroom, the light sprinkled softly from above, there was a faint fragrance in the air, it was the scent of Krystal walking in front, cold with a bit of cedar and clean soap.

She looked back at Lin Xiuyuan, the corners of her mouth raised, suddenly approaching in an extremely close distance, whispering, "You're very nervous, Xiuyuan."

Lin Xiuyuan just wanted to respond, but in the next second, he was pushed by her, and his whole person fell onto that soft big bed.

The mattress made a light sound, and before he could come back to his senses, Krystal had walked over slowly and stopped by his legs.

Krystal didn't rush to make more moves, just slowly squatted down, her elbows resting on his knees, tilting her head slightly to examine him, her gaze as deep and cunning as a cat.

"First, declare one point, the reward can be given to you, and depth can also be tried. But... you can't move your hands."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her, his expression fluctuated several times, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and finally, he couldn't hide the fire ignited in his eyes, nodding lightly.

Krystal saw him nod, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if finally mastering the initiative.

Then she slowly raised her hand, her fingertips sliding all the way up along the outside of Lin Xiuyuan's thigh, stopping at the hem of his clothes at his waist, lifting it gently, revealing the tight waist and abdomen lines.

Leaning down, soft hair swept across his abdominal muscles, itching as if provoking his self-control.

Lin Xiuyuan's breathing became heavier, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he never reached out, as if carefully guarding the "rules" she set.

Krystal, like a cat certain that the prey couldn't escape, slowly approached, gently rubbing against his jawline, the tip of her nose brushing his skin, whispering, "Very good, continue to be obedient."

That pair of slender hands had now wandered to his chest, fingertips tracing circles lightly against his skin, each movement precisely teasing his nerves.

The floor lamp in the corner of the master bedroom cast a soft but not strong light, hitting the side of the bed obliquely, stretching the shadows of the two between the curtains and the wall.

The curtains were off-white, the fabric a bit thick, but couldn't resist the layers of surging when the shadows swayed on them.

Lin Xiuyuan sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, his shoulder lines slightly tight, his palms pressed on the mattress.

In the shadow, those hands seemed to be deliberately pressed, pressing down on some desire.

And Krystal's figure was half-squatting in front of him, the silhouette smooth, the curves distinct, her head slightly raised.

Long hair hung down on her shoulders, like strands of black lines flowing quietly on the shadow of the floor.

The distance between her squatting figure and his sitting posture was only a few inches in the projection, but it looked more like an entanglement of each other, ambiguous like a prologue being silently peeked at.

On the floor, the shadows of the two's feet were also restless, very close. Krystal's pair of naked toes curled slightly on the wooden floor, the direction the light swept across happened to project this detail clearly in the corner, like some kind of tacit provocation.

The room slowly became much quieter, leaving only the sound of the two's breathing, the sound of slurping, and the light sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside the window.

The next day.

Inside the villa.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning slanted in through the gap in the curtains, passing through the floating dust particles, and fell on the slightly messy bedding by the bed.

The air was filled with the temperature and scent remaining from last night, carrying a bit of fresh laundry scent and the subtle aura after skin overlapping.

Lin Xiuyuan was already awake, leaning against the head of the bed, his hair tips a bit messy, his eyes still carrying a trace of fatigue that hadn't completely faded.

He looked down at Krystal beside him; the other was currently curled up against his chest, her whole person curled up like a cat, one hand still lazily resting on his waist.

Sunlight swept lightly across Krystal's cheeks, making her fair skin take on a faint halo.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if disturbed by some discomfort.

After humming, she slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand to messily push her hair, and then rubbed against Lin Xiuyuan's chest with her eyes half-closed.

"Hmm..."

Her voice was a bit hoarse, the corners of her eyes still red, muttering casually, "Xiuyuan... my mouth... is so sore, as if I had a stone in it all night..."

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice carrying undisguised lightness, "Your adjectives..."

Krystal turned over, reached out to gesture beside her cheek, the corners of her mouth slightly raised but with a bit of anger, "Even my gums are numb, Xiuyuan, I remember we agreed last night that you weren't allowed to move your hands."

Lin Xiuyuan coughed, wanting to answer but not knowing where to start, so he simply kept silent, raising his hand to rub the back of her head.

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

Krystal glared at him with narrowed eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

Afterward, the two lingered in bed for a while, until Krystal suddenly remembered that she still had an appointment with Jessica today, so she sat up abruptly and pushed Lin Xiuyuan off the bed.

"Terrible, forgot the time I made with Jessica, quick quick quick, get up and wash up, if we drag it on, it'll be noon."

"Then let her wait, didn't we say we set the time and place?"

Lin Xiuyuan just opened his mouth, and was kicked off the bed by her mercilessly.

He shook his head helplessly with a smile, turned, and walked toward the bathroom.

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

"See if there's a bakery, just get me a red bean one." Krystal leaned against the head of the bed, her tone lazy.

"Okay."

After Lin Xiuyuan left, Krystal sat up from the bed, the quilt on her shoulders sliding down, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

Then she yawned lightly, stepped barefoot on the floor, and walked toward the bathroom with a bit of laziness and fatigue from just waking up.

After pushing the door and entering, she went to the sink for the first time, leaned slightly toward the mirror, and prepared to check the results of last night's battle and "physical examination."

At first, she didn't find anything different, so she blinked, and then leaned closer to the mirror.

At this time, Krystal discovered that her face...

seemed to be brighter than yesterday.

That kind of luster wasn't oily, but a moist and firm feeling from the bottom of the skin.

Some small pores on both sides of her nose also seemed to have been quietly smoothed out, and it even felt unbelievably delicate to the touch.

She tilted her head and looked closer at her cheekbones.

The pigmentation left by long-term makeup also faded a lot, the color was no longer heavy, as if overnight, it had been refreshed by some "natural repair program."

"Is this for real?"

Krystal whispered to herself, raising her finger to gently tap her cheek.

The skin was firm and elastic, and even the slight puffiness under her eyes was less than usual.

This situation made her stare at herself in the mirror for several seconds, the corners of her eyes suddenly lifted, and the corners of her mouth floated with a smile, not sure if it was surprise, or some "as expected" pride.

"Tsk, this effect seems to have appeared only after that time without a raincoat, last night was..."

She muttered in a low voice, thinking of the scenes from last night, even as a cold big sister beauty, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a bit hot.

But in the next second, her eyes in the mirror suddenly became certain, even carrying a hint of eager light.

If it really requires direct "intimate contact" to have this effect, then next time, maybe it's not impossible to come again.

Worried about getting hit?

Hmph, at worst, swallow it again.

……

……

Inside an apartment somewhere in Seoul.

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

"Hello, Xiujing... what time? Okay, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up, she looked up at herself in the mirror, plain-faced.

Although without the modification of makeup, her eyebrow shape was still neat and clean, but she lacked the sharp exquisiteness of the past.

Her skin was still fair, she was someone with a good natural foundation, and her features hadn't gone out of shape, her nose was straight, her lip shape was beautiful, but fine lines at the corners of her eyes had quietly climbed up, like strokes of time falling quietly.

Especially the corners of her eyes that were once the most charming when she smiled, now even without emotion, one could faintly see those few shallow lines.

The skin tone below the cheekbones was slightly uneven, seemingly the dullness brought by years of makeup and makeup removal, and a bit of faint fatigue appeared on her chin.

Making the whole face look no longer like the translucent flawlessness of a young girl, but traces of the coexistence of fatigue and calmness from a mature woman.

She stared at herself in the mirror and suddenly laughed low, "Tsk, hehe."

As if mocking herself, or as if some helplessness.

She picked up the face cream and patted it on her face, looking focused at the almond eyes in the mirror that were still beautiful but no longer shining with the light of a young girl.

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

Then she went downstairs, got into the car, and headed toward the restaurant she had made an appointment with Krystal, during which she also received a call from Quan Ningyi.

The content was very simple, even if the other party didn't intend to stay in Seoul, asking her when she could finish the things here.

Regarding this, Jessica rolled her eyes very helplessly.

Jessica rolled her eyes, but couldn't help sighing in her heart.

If it weren't for the thing a few days ago, she should have flown back to Los Angeles or Lion City long ago, how could she still be stranded here.

But her tone still gave a clear answer, "Tomorrow."

Not long after she hung up, the car arrived at the entrance of a restaurant in Mapo District. After parking the car, Jessica got out.

As soon as she entered the door, she told the waiter the room number of the private room, and then, under the guidance of the other party, stepped into the room.

Just after entering, her gaze subconsciously swept over Lin Xiuyuan on the side, and then fixed on Krystal's face.

At that moment, she was obviously stunned.

Krystal was glowing, her skin delicate and smooth, her eyebrows and eyes revealing softness and brightness, looking like a different person from when they parted yesterday.

"You're here, Unnie, come in and sit."

Krystal, upon seeing Jessica, also hurriedly greeted her to come over and sit down, then said, "This is for stir-fry, you see what you want to eat?"

Jessica, who was a bit distracted, sat down and said softly, "Just bring something."

At the same time, her gaze fell on Krystal's face again, her expression carrying a bit of disbelief, finally suppressing her emotions, and turning to look at Lin Xiuyuan opposite.

Lin Xiuyuan was also looking at her at this time, their eyes met, he smiled slightly, his tone and demeanor were very decent.

Seeing that smile, Jessica was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "If you had been this polite that day, how good it would have been."

However, Lin Xiuyuan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong that day, so his answer was quite open.

"Don't say that, all my reactions that day were just passive defense. Personally, I think I was quite polite."

Jessica pursed her lips lightly upon hearing the answer.

This time she came, originally she wanted to lay her cards on the table with Lin Xiuyuan and talk about Krystal, wanting Lin Xiuyuan to be sensible and leave her sister.

Even if she didn't say it like this to Krystal yesterday, even if Krystal would be angry after hearing it.

But there was no way, she, the older sister, couldn't watch her sister fall into this boy.

No matter the age or identity, the two were very incompatible.

It's just that Jessica didn't expect that after only one night, Krystal's state would undergo a visible change.

The aura, complexion, and even the light in her eyes were different.

Then she instantly understood that it was too late for her to say anything today.

This kind of transformation from inside to outside could never be explained by the word "play around" mentioned before.

If there wasn't real emotion surging inside, how could there be such a youthful transformation overnight?

In Jessica's view, her intuition had never been wrong.

Especially the "sense of happiness" brought by this subtle change almost overflowed the surface of the skin.

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

She thought she understood.

Because she was like this back then too.

However, it was okay for now; from the current situation, that kid didn't seem to have interfered with Krystal's work, and he didn't scam money, which was probably the only point Jessica could be slightly relieved about for now.

However, Jessica didn't understand Lin Xiuyuan; this guy was a "magical creature" outside of common sense.

And at this time, Lin Xiuyuan happened to receive a call.

So he got up and left the private room.

Jessica just happened to have time to interrogate Krystal properly, and her first sentence was, "Xiujing, have you finished your period?"

Krystal was stunned, "Ha? What stuff, no."

"Then why are you so anxious, fighting in blood is very bad for the body." Jessica frowned, looking at the other with some blame.

"Fighting in blood?" Krystal's face was full of confusion, "Jessica, what on earth are you talking about?"

Jessica scanned her, her tone meaningful, "Look at your glowing face, if you didn't do anything, I'll go swallow that stinky kid Lin Xiuyuan alive right now."

Krystal, upon hearing this, was stunned for half a second, then her eyes lit up, smiling with anticipation.

"Really, Unnie!"
