Chapter 134: Lin Yun'er: Cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness!!

The rhythm of lunch slowly quieted down as several people put down their chopsticks one after another.

Finally, as Jessica finished paying the bill, the few of them left the private room one after another.

Outside, the sun was just right, pedestrians on the street in the afternoon were sparse, and the air was filled with a kind of tipsy leisure and laziness.

Jessica and the others, who were chatting happily in the private room, were now preparing to start the next itinerary.

And before setting off, Krystal looked at Lin Xiuyuan and asked, "Xiuyuan, where are you going next?"

"Going home to rest for a while, and by the way, take a look at the little things from back home."

Lin Xiuyuan said while unlocking the car door, preparing to get in.

Actually, he was still worrying about how to arrange time, but didn't expect Jessica to help him a lot, pulling Krystal and Sunny to continue the afternoon session in one sentence.

She even specifically mentioned to Krystal that she was flying overseas for work tomorrow, saying she wanted to sleep in the same bed with her tonight and chat properly.

Don't know if this little action was intentional, or if she didn't want Krystal to stay with Lin Xiuyuan.

Anyway, regardless, her accidental idea helped Lin Xiuyuan a lot.

If Jessica knew that her move to separate Krystal had unintentionally given Lin Xiuyuan a gap to find other women, she would probably be furious.

And this "back home" had long become a code word in everyone's mouth, so Krystal understood it immediately, "Fine, then I'll find you tomorrow."

"Hmm, then I'll go first." Lin Xiuyuan nodded.

"Bye~"

"See you next time, Xiuyuan."

"Goodbye."

It's just that after saying goodbye to the three, Lin Xiuyuan didn't go straight back to the villa, but drove to the downstairs of an apartment building, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Hello, I'm downstairs at your apartment, come down."

About ten minutes later, Lin Yun'er, dressed in a refreshing outfit, opened the passenger door and sat down lightly.

"Phew, why did you come so fast, I thought I had to wait a while longer."

"Left after eating."

Following Lin Yun'er getting into the car, the engine sound started again, Lin Xiuyuan stepped on the gas and left the scene, the car driving toward the villa in Gangnam District.

At the same time, he asked casually, "By the way, if you have nothing to do, just rest, why follow me over there?"

"Just have nothing to do, so go back with you to stroll around."

While speaking, Lin Yun'er tied a meatball head with a hair tie on her wrist, her movements casual, her hair slightly messy, but with a special beauty.

"I'm just going over there to confirm with the renovation team about opening up the apartment, actually there's nothing to be busy with."

"Then when you're done, take me out for a ride."

Lin Yun'er turned to look at him, her eyes shining, like a little fox who had planned the route in advance.

As soon as the words fell, she naturally took off her shoes, crossed her legs, and sat on the passenger seat.

It was said earlier that she was dressed exceptionally refreshingly today.

A white hollow lace top, under the sun, looked like light gauze, reflecting the soft light on her collarbone, faintly visible.

Below was a pair of high-waisted denim shorts, outlining straight and slender legs, sitting cross-legged at this moment, the curves overlapping subtly, the arc between the legs teasing the eyes of others faintly.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her while driving, but found that his gaze couldn't be taken back.

Until Lin Yun'er leaned sideways, her sunglasses sliding below the tip of her nose, revealing a delicate little face, the corners of her mouth holding a few teasing smiles, "Xiuyuan, look ahead, I know I'm beautiful, but don't crash the car."

Lin Xiuyuan swallowed, the corner of his eye really couldn't ignore those faintly visible long legs, "I'd like to hold back from looking, so can you put your legs down."

"Hmm? Didn't Xiujing show you last night."

Lin Yun'er, who was shaking her toes while speaking, had ankles that were fair and slender, carrying a kind of youthful playfulness and aura.

Don't know if it was intentional or a hint, she added with a light smile, "And I think my state is very good today, my skin is super shiny, my hair is obedient and not split, do you think my luck is rising recently?"

"From the moment you met me, your luck has been rising, right." Lin Xiuyuan responded with a light smile.

"Tsk, if you said this a few days ago, I definitely wouldn't believe it. But now, you're amazing."

Lin Yun'er leaned back on the seat, but the corners of her mouth hooked into a cunning arc.

Her words just now, said lightly, but carried a bit of hidden seriousness.

Because for her, this "time gate" was indeed a magical existence, enough to subvert all her conventional cognition and refresh her worldview.

But thinking about it carefully, such a door, for people in the past, might have extraordinary significance.

But for her in 2025, it might not necessarily have much substantial help.

Unless she really intended to flip gold or rare resources in large quantities, using information asymmetry for arbitrage.

But she had long been financially free, this little material demand was no longer the point, no need to take risks to do these things.

So this door was more like some kind of spiritual sustenance to her, although it couldn't be said to be chicken ribs, it couldn't be said to change fate either.

However, with some small details she secretly discovered recently.

If those outrageous magical things really existed, that would be called rising luck, changing fate.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun'er tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the blonde boy in the driver's seat.

In the sun, Lin Xiuyuan's outline was clear and bright, those phoenix eyes carried a bit more youthful feeling under the light, clean and carrying a bit of indescribable tension.

So she stretched her waist lightly with a smile, her arc-shaped arms reaching out from the white hollow sleeves, her movements carrying a trace of charming laziness.

"By the way, Xiuyuan, have you told Xiujing and Jiyeon and the others that you're going to disappear here for a week, don't let anything happen."

"Just now when eating, I already notified them. Speaking of which, Sunny teacher really gave me a few backstabs, if I had known, I would have let you take her to eat."

Lin Yun'er, hearing there was a story, immediately became interested, "What happened, what happened."

Then Lin Xiuyuan didn't hide it, and told her about what happened in the private room just now.

As a result, Lin Yun'er laughed until she couldn't straighten her waist, sitting in the passenger seat laughing

"Who knows, I'll have to keep them further apart next time," Lin Xiuyuan replied nonchalantly while watching the road ahead.

"If that's the case, I can help you, Xiuyuan." Lin Yun'er tilted her head against the car window, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "But to be fair, after I help you, you have to come help me renovate my house."

??

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her, somewhat puzzled.

Renovate a house?

These words sounded wrong no matter how he heard them.

Seeing his guarded expression, Lin Yun'er laughed even more happily. "Not the kind you're thinking of, don't worry. I just like tinkering with little things—assembling, disassembling, painting walls, that sort of thing—and I just need someone strong nearby to help."

"Ah~ sure."

The two chatted as they returned to the villa. Lin Xiuyuan parked the car in the garage, and as he got out, he suddenly remembered something. "By the way, should we call Lin Xiaolu too?"

Lin Yun'er walked around to stand in front of him, arms crossed, her deer-like eyes staring at him, watery and bright. "You're kidding, right? You want two beauties to accompany you for a drive? Is one not enough? Xiuyuan, being greedy isn't good, you know."

Her mindset had become increasingly relaxed lately, and her words and actions were growing bolder.

"Just a passing thought." Lin Xiuyuan shrugged. "You've been a bit wild lately, Yun'er. Tell me, do you not have any schedules recently?"

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's curiosity, Lin Yun'er explained, "Apart from endorsements and some GG, I've been resting and recharging lately. If I hadn't met you, I'd probably be traveling overseas by now."

With that last sentence, Lin Yun'er pointed a finger at him. "So, Xiuyuan, you mustn't let me down."

"Ah, let you down? What should I do then?"

A confused Lin Xiuyuan was a bit bewildered; he didn't know what Lin Yun'er was referring to.

"You don't need to do anything, just let things take their course."

Lin Yun'er gave a meaningful smile. "Let's go, let's see what Seoul was like ten years ago. I've almost forgotten what it looked like back then. We might as well call Lin Xiaolu too; having us twin sisters accompany you for a tour will be enough to make you die of happiness."

After saying this, the two walked into the villa, headed straight for the Time Gate, and in the blink of an eye, returned to that old apartment in 2013.

As soon as they arrived, Lin Xiuyuan casually picked up the phone on the table to check it, then said to Lin Yun'er, "Wait for me a moment, the people from the renovation company are already downstairs. I'll have them come up to talk."

"Actually, I have a question." Lin Yun'er raised a small hand.

"What is it?"

"Will it really not damage the Time Gate? Although I don't dislike 2013, I don't want to be unable to return to 2025."

Hearing Lin Yun'er's concerns, Lin Xiuyuan laughed and pointed directly at the bedroom door next to them. "See that? I used this door for an experiment a few days ago. Even after I smashed it apart, the Time Gate was fine. You can put your worries aside."

Lin Yun'er glanced at the door and nodded gently. "That's good. Then I'll go into your bedroom to rest. I'll come out when you're done."

Otherwise, if Lin Yun'er of Girls' Generation, currently at her peak, were to inexplicably appear in an obscure apartment, and it became known, she would be on the front page of the entertainment papers by the afternoon.

After Lin Yun'er went into the room, Lin Xiuyuan called the renovation company's designer to come upstairs, waited at the door, and took the opportunity to dial Lin Xiaolu's number.

After about ten seconds, the call was answered. "Hello~"

The slightly breathless voice—if Lin Xiuyuan hadn't known it was Lin Xiaolu, he would have thought he'd dialed the wrong number and reached the sister-in-law next door. So he asked, "Are you busy?"

"Yeah, rehearsing, but I just finished. What's up?" Lin Xiaolu asked, adjusting her breathing.

"Your teacher is here, dressed very beautifully, and wants to invite you out for a drive. Do you want to join?"

The latest novels are first published here!

"My teacher?"

In the practice room, Lin Xiaolu listened to this somewhat strange explanation, and after two seconds, she realized. "Ah, ah, ah~ I see, I understand. But why did she come over today?"

"I don't know. Do you want to join us?"

At this moment, the designer, who had been waiting downstairs for a while, arrived upstairs.

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan on the phone, he stood quietly to the side without disturbing him.

Lin Xiaolu on the other end was silent for a moment. "Fine, then come pick me up in a bit. I'll go back to the dormitory to tidy up first."

"Sure." Lin Xiuyuan nodded and added with a smile, "Don't lose, she's very exquisite today."

Lin Xiaolu was silent again. "Tell her to just wait for me."

She hung up the phone directly, leaving Lin Xiuyuan full of smiles.

He put away his phone, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the designer, then led him into Quan Baolan's room to the wall adjacent to the next apartment to start discussing.

The general idea was simple: if it could be completely demolished, do it; if not, just open a door.

In any case, this was the top floor, so there shouldn't be any structural issues.

Afterward, just a simple layout change, a fresh coat of paint, and a new set of soft furnishings would suffice.

There wasn't much to do; the main issue was the lack of time. From the time Lin Xiuyuan went to Nihon with Xueli until he returned, he had at most one week to get everything done.

Although paying extra would make a full renovation possible, it wasn't necessary.

He didn't intend to make a huge fuss; the hard furnishings of these two apartments were already quite good. The main task was to connect the two layouts and rearrange the functional zones and atmosphere.

In that case, one week was just enough—not too much, not too little—without needing to rush or do a sloppy job.

The designer, following Lin Xiuyuan as he walked back and forth between the two rooms, nodded while asking for more details.

The communication with the designer regarding the renovation process lasted about half an hour, and finally, the designer concluded:

"Alright, Mr. Lin. I will draft the plan as soon as possible and notify you for confirmation. But is there really no way to extend the time?"

"One week at most, no delays, I'll pay extra if needed." Lin Xiuyuan's tone was firm. "Materials must be eco-friendly, and the process must follow the contract."

"Understood." The designer nodded in agreement.

Just like that, Lin Xiuyuan watched the designer enter the elevator before returning to the apartment.

He pushed the door open softly and, seeing that Lin Yun'er still hadn't come out of the bedroom, subconsciously walked to the door and took a peek.

The room was quiet, as if the air had frozen.

A sliver of pale yellow sunlight slanted through the gap in the curtains, falling just right on that familiar bed.

And Lin Yun'er was curled up quietly in that patch of light, sleeping soundly.

"She actually fell asleep?" Lin Xiuyuan's footsteps faltered. He stood at the door, holding his breath involuntarily.

She was lying on her side, facing the door, her long black hair scattered on the pillow, a few strands clinging to her cheek from static, delicate and soft.

Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing long and steady, her lip color faint, like peach blossom tea that had been steeped.

She was sleeping very deeply; she hadn't even noticed him opening the door.

What she was clutching tightly in her arms was the very quilt he had used the night before, like a little animal seeking comfort, holding it firmly, her cheek pressed against it, her breath warm.

In that instant, a complex emotion welled up in Lin Xiuyuan's heart—a sense of dazedness he couldn't quite name, and a touch of inexplicable softness.

He even noticed her legs were slightly curled, one resting on the other, a fine crease pressed into the edge of her shorts.

Her exposed knees and calves were almost glowing in the sunlight, so clean it was impossible to look away.

The sunlight seemed to be spotlighting her specifically, softly enveloping her, making her look transparent and serene.

A K-pop blood cow, truly living up to the name.

Lying there quietly, she still looked like she was at the center of a lens, as radiant and flawless as a television drama heroine.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan was involuntarily drowning in the scene before him, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. The sudden ringtone not only startled him but also woke Lin Yun'er on the bed.

She slowly opened her eyes, her expression still a bit drowsy, and blinked.

After seeing that it was Lin Xiuyuan standing at the door, she was slightly stunned, then spoke vaguely, "Are you done?"

"Yeah, just finished. If you're sleepy, do you want to nap a bit more?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who had looked down at the caller ID, first muted the phone and then asked Lin Yun'er.

"It's fine," she said, stretching, her voice soft. "Since you're done, let's go."

Only then did Lin Xiuyuan answer the call. "Hello? Oh, I just finished here. Are you ready?"

Lin Xiaolu gave an answer on the other end. "Fifteen minutes."

"That's perfect, the time it takes for us to head over there will be about the same."

After hanging up, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Lin Yun'er, who had already sat up and fixed her hair, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Xiaolu is ready too."

"She's actually not busy?" Lin Yun'er was stunned, recalling the rehearsal schedule from back then. "I remember we were busy as hell at that time."

"She was busy, she had just finished rehearsal when I called," Lin Xiuyuan replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yun'er smiled slightly. "Then she must be in a hurry. I hope she doesn't see me looking disheveled; that would be too embarrassing."

Lin Xiuyuan, thinking of the hint he had just given Lin Xiaolu, smiled. "I don't think so."

As they spoke, Lin Yun'er briefly tidied her makeup and hair, then followed Lin Xiuyuan downstairs, got into the Land Rover, and headed straight for the Girls' Generation dormitory.

About twenty minutes later, the car smoothly entered the underground parking lot; the pre-registered license plate made the entire entry process smooth and unobstructed.

Soon, that familiar figure at the elevator entrance came into their view.

Lin Xiaolu was standing there, wearing a high ponytail, with wisps of hair naturally curled at her forehead.

She was wearing a denim jumpsuit with a striped sleeveless tank top underneath.

The hem of the skirt was just past her knees, revealing slender calves, and she was wearing clean canvas shoes, looking full of youthful vitality.

She stood with her hands behind her back, head tilted slightly, the overhead lights reflecting off her sunglasses in circles, as if she were winking mischievously.

Looking at Lin Xiaolu's outfit, Lin Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Lin Yun'er in the passenger seat. "Oh ho, Xiaolu seems to have found her strengths, Yun'er."

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's laughter, Lin Yun'er didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile. "Xiuyuan, it's been so long, don't you understand that 'cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness'?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned. Of course he understood that, but...

???

You?

Sexy??
