Chapter 210: [Xiuyuan, are you asleep?] or [Asleep] (Seeking subscriptions)

~23 min read 4,405 words

In the end, the three of them didn't go swimming.

Because according to Li Juli, that swimming pool wasn't in Seoul, but in Gyeonggi-do.

A car ride of more than an hour directly made Lin Xiuyuan dismiss this idea.

However, although they didn't go swimming, they still found a similar way to pass the time, which was—bubble bath.

That's right, July, the dog days of summer, going for a bubble bath, and by the way, steaming a sauna.

According to Li Juli, soaking the body during this period is even more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring in winter.

Although Lin Xiuyuan didn't study medicine, he grew up in the South China region, and because he was influenced by it since childhood, he still knew some common sense about body dampness, deficiency, and cold.

Sunbathing in the dog days, applying dog days patches, soaking in hot springs, soaking feet, etc., are nothing more than supplementing Yang energy.

And he really didn't lack Yang energy.

However, despite this, he still decided to follow.

The address was very close, in a spa hall in Gangnam, there was a separate private bubble bath, and next to the bath there was a small house for steaming sauna.

Pushing open that hidden glass door, the heat rushed toward him, as if announcing the laziness and relaxation of this afternoon in advance.

As a VIP area of a high-end spa club, it was not only soundproof but also extremely luxurious.

The indoor light was gentle, and the sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows like gauze curtains, slanting onto the clean marble floor.

Outside the window was a meticulously trimmed green landscape, adding a bit of quiet atmosphere to the whole space.

Lin Xiuyuan, who had changed into a bathrobe, glanced at the empty room and walked into the bubble bath without hesitation.

Soft steam floated on the water surface, and in the lingering heat, even his hair tips were slightly curled.

The warm water gently wrapped around him, and his body and mind were completely relaxed in an instant.

A few minutes later, footsteps sounded.

Li Juli walked in, the white bath towel on her body only made the minimum coverage, curves exposed, waist slender and straight, chest even more unreservedly standing, every step carried subtle ups and downs.

Under the high-bunned long hair, the slender and fair neck was exposed, as well as the smooth collarbone, the whole person carried an undeniable female charm.

"Xiuyuan~ how does it feel?"

When speaking, her voice carried a smile, carrying a hint of self-evident teasing.

Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes slightly, his gaze swept over her, seemingly carrying a bit of unintentional appreciation, but soon closed his eyes again, leaning against the side of the pool, his tone lazy.

"It's okay, it's just normal boiler water, compared to hot springs, it still lacks a bit of feeling."

Then the Great Dragon Cub also walked in behind.

Her bath towel was wrapped even more casually than Li Juli's, the half-open neckline revealed a large area of collarbone, her cheeks were flushed with a hint of redness, and she was holding a glass of lemon water, drinking and laughing.

"Are you saying it lacks a bit of sulfur smell? Hahaha~"

"You should soak for a while and see."

Li Juli replied with a smile, then her fingers hooked the bath towel and lifted it gently, revealing the black thin-strap swimsuit.

The swimsuit clung to her skin, perfectly outlining her figure, both sexy and stylish.

Then she stepped into the water without any scruples, the pool water just reached her chest, her skin looming in the heat and water vapor, like a lotus in the water.

"Plant essence and skincare oil were added to this water, you'll know after soaking for a while."

As she spoke, she leaned back.

Half-closing her eyes, an extremely relaxed expression appeared on her face, and she didn't forget to add, "And according to the old doctors on your side, Xiuyuan, if you don't force the dampness out now, it will be very uncomfortable in winter."

"Yo, you know so much?"

Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes, his gaze fell opposite her, just in time to see two beauties lazily stretching their bodies in the heat.

Li Juli's slender neck and slightly raised chin outlined fatal lines, the pool water floated, her chest looming, making people imagine.

And the Great Dragon Cub had already sat into the pool, complaining, "Juli Unnie, you're lying, it's so hot, and you say it's comfortable."

Although her mouth was unforgiving, her moist swimsuit clinging to her skin still outlined that graceful figure, a pair of calves floating elegantly on the water surface, as if swimming freely in the water.

The Great Dragon Cub had also been invited by Li Juli several times before, but she never came once, after all, she was most afraid of heat.

If it weren't for Lin Xiuyuan being here this time, she probably wouldn't have come.

And the three of them just leaned against the triangular position of the circular bath like this, not deliberately arranged, but just happened to form a certain subtle tension.

"Xiuyuan."

Li Juli suddenly leaned closer, her shoulders lightly sticking to the side of the pool, her whole movement as smooth as a water snake, the warm and fragrant water vapor gently wrapped around her body and stuck to Lin Xiuyuan's side.

Then she tilted her head slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of heart-moving smile, and asked in a low voice, "Is your body hot?"

"It's okay." Lin Xiuyuan didn't move, letting her lean over.

"Let me touch and see?"

Under the light words, it carried a bit of small probing.

But it wasn't probing Lin Xiuyuan, but probing the Great Dragon Cub over there.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the Great Dragon Cub slapped the water surface fiercely, water droplets splashed, and she glared at the two with that knowing, feigned anger.

No, it was glaring at Li Juli, "I'm saying, we're here for a bubble bath, can you stop for a moment, Ju! Li! Un! Nie!"

"Oh my, so stingy."

Li Juli just smiled, turned her head slightly, her eyes turned, and her palm silently stuck to Lin Xiuyuan's arm.

That warm touch with water vapor spread on his skin, lightly sweeping his nerve endings like feathers.

Then Lin Xiuyuan laughed lightly, "Stop messing around, if Jiyeon really gets anxious later, I can't help you."

"Scumbag~"

Li Juli snorted coquettishly, as if complaining, and as if enjoying being reminded.

After taking back her hand, she slid back into the pool water, but her eyes still glanced over here from time to time.

Diagonally opposite, the Great Dragon Cub seemed to be sweating, her cheeks pink and red.

Thinking of something, she suddenly straightened her legs and leaned back, as if releasing a certain signal.

So Lin Xiuyuan, who had just closed his eyes, noticed a slippery jade foot under the water the next second, which touched his knee as if nothing, and then climbed up his thigh nimbly.

This bath was big enough, even if two more people sat, it was more than enough, but this foot could accurately step on his leg, this...

Lin Xiuyuan looked down, sure enough, a white and slender ankle was lightly rubbing on his thigh, like a fish swimming in the water, both flexible and clingy.

And at the same time, on the other side.

A cool little hand also slid to his abdomen, her fingertips gently tracing lines on the bottom of the water, as if playing some "ant climbing a tree" game, and as if lighting a thin fuse.

At this moment, the world under the water seemed to have become another silent play, the surface was silent, but the water was surging.

Lin Xiuyuan closed his eyes and leaned back against the pool, enjoying all this with a calm surface.

But his heart was like a furnace fire being lit little by little, slowly rising in the warmth.

After a few seconds, that foot rubbed back and forth more boldly, even touching his waist, and that hand had quietly pulled his pants belt.

Now Lin Xiuyuan finally had to open his eyes, glancing at the two figures who seemed to have done nothing.

Li Juli was turning her head to play with the water surface, the corners of her lips lifting a light smile.

And the Great Dragon Cub was tilting her head and leaning against the pool wall, looking at him with a smile, as if asking: "Is it fun?"

"Can you guys just take a bath properly?"

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh, his voice low but carrying a bit of teasing.

"Who said I didn't take a bath properly?" Li Juli smiled at him, the smile looming, lingering in the air like water vapor, seductive but difficult to grasp.

The Great Dragon Cub muttered in a low voice, "Exactly, exactly, isn't it soaking properly now, Xiuyuan, what are you talking about."

As soon as this was said, the three of them didn't answer, but the ambiguous atmosphere between heart-moving and seriousness permeated the entire bubble bath like steam, airtight.

As the hot water gradually faded, the three came out of the bubble bath, their bodies slightly flushed, and their whole bodies exuded a moist and warm breath.

Li Juli slowly wiped the water droplets on her body, bent down slightly, and the bath towel slipped, revealing perfect curves.

She didn't rush to put on clothes, but gently wiped away the sweat with her hands, as if every drop of water sliding down was releasing a certain tension and suppression.

"Alright, ready to steam sauna?"

She looked up, a hint of playfulness between her brows, her gaze swept over Lin Xiuyuan and the Great Dragon Cub, seemingly waiting for some response.

"Let's go, go steam for a while."

Lin Xiuyuan replied unhurriedly, his eyes still gentle, as if nothing had happened.

There was only a dim yellow light in the steam room, the three sat side by side on the wooden long bench, wrapped in towels, and the air was filled with a faint mint fragrance.

Lin Xiuyuan sat in the middle, with two sweaty bodies on both sides.

One was Li Juli, leaning quite close, and occasionally turning her head to lean on his shoulder.

The other was the Great Dragon Cub, her legs naturally crossed, but she accidentally touched the back of his foot, and didn't hide after touching.

No one spoke, only the sound of steam spraying was heard, and the occasional breathing sound gradually became slow and deep.

Lin Xiuyuan closed his eyes, but his nerves were extremely tight, although they were all intimate partners, this so-called vague physical contact didn't feel like anything.

But that was in the 1+1 scenario, now it was the 1+2 scenario, which made him feel a bit nervous.

But fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

Until they came out of the steam room, Lin Xiuyuan rushed to the bathroom quickly, hold on a little longer, his pants were about to burst.

After that, the three showered again, changed into clean bathrobes, and walked into the nursing room under the guidance of the staff.

In the nursing room, the masseur had been waiting for a long time, and the fragrance of lavender and cedar mixed in the whole room.

Three beds were lined up, and after the three lay down, they started full-body care.

From back essential oil massage, to arms, calves, and then shoulder and neck soothing, every inch of skin was gently taken care of.

For a whole afternoon, it slowly passed in such an atmosphere.

From the scorching sun to the twilight light through the blinds, the skin of the three was glowing with the soft light of steam and essential oil, and even the voice became lazy.

This hot spring trip in the dog days was much more exciting and lingering than the original swimming pool.

Only Park Xiaomin, who went home early, was sitting on the sofa in the apartment watching TV, a bit dazed, until evening.

When walking out of the spa hall, Lin Xiuyuan, who had slept soundly during the nursing period, stretched comfortably, then turned to look at the two people beside him, "How about it, go home separately or eat a meal before leaving."

The Great Dragon Cub and Li Juli looked at each other and smiled slightly, Li Juli took the lead.

"I won't go to eat with you guys, I stood Xiaomin up at noon, I have to make up for it at night, but I need Xiuyuan to send me home."

Then it was the Great Dragon Cub's, "Xiuyuan, you send Unnie back first, I'll go to the mall to buy something, and then go to the restaurant to wait for you, you can come over directly later."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't think much about it, just nodded.

However, when he sent Li Juli back to her apartment and was about to drive away, he was pulled by the collar, "Where are you going?"

"Go find Jiyeon." Lin Xiuyuan replied.

Li Juli smiled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of meaning, "Park the car, accompany me up."

"Ah?"

Just like that, it took less than 20 minutes to send Li Juli back, but it took more than an hour to leave Li Juli's apartment.

When Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the private room of the restaurant under the location given by the Great Dragon Cub.

The other party who had been sitting inside smiled at him, "Come, Xiuyuan~ I got you something delicious."

Lin Xiuyuan looked down at the table, seeing geoduck, kidneys, sea cucumber, and even seahorse stew.

This made him couldn't help but laugh, looking up at the Great Dragon Cub, "What does this mean?"

"Nothing, just wanted to eat, and ordered some of the signature dishes here for you, Xiuyuan." The Great Dragon Cub smiled, looking up at Lin Xiuyuan, her eyes full of innocent brilliance.

"Is it really delicious?"

"Really delicious~"

Later, in the apartment, the Great Dragon Cub kneeling on the carpet looked up at Lin Xiuyuan above her head with moist eyes, responding softly.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xiuyuan, after spending some effort to settle the divorced wife who had been hungry for more than a week, finally walked out of the master bedroom.

What he was wearing was the pajamas that the Great Dragon Cub specially bought at the mall when he was rolling around with Li Juli, and other clothes were also casually placed in the closet.

Lin Xiuyuan, who came out to the living room, first drank a glass of water, then glanced at the clock in the early morning, and then looked down at the text message sent by Lin Yun'er.

Then he sat on the sofa and scrolled through videos for a while, and after the fragrance on his body dissipated a bit, he walked into a secondary bedroom of the Great Dragon Cub's apartment, grasped the bathroom door inside, pushed it open... and walked into the 2013 apartment.

Then he glanced at the living room where the main light had been turned off, leaving only some secondary lights, thinking that Sulli should have rested, so he didn't disturb her, pushed open the time gate again, and jumped into Lin Yun'er's home.

Unlike the dim light in his own apartment, the living room in Lin Yun'er's home was brightly lit.

And Lin Yun'er, who had just been on the hot search of the newspaper because of her rejuvenation a few days ago, was lying on that sofa, dozing off.

An old romantic movie was playing on the TV, the picture frozen in a warm scene.

Lin Xiuyuan, who laughed, walked forward slowly, just as he was about to reach Lin Yun'er, the figure with light sleep suddenly looked up in his direction, her eyes just like a panicked Bambi.

Until she found that it was Lin Xiuyuan, she let out a long sigh of relief, raised her arms, and muttered, "You're here."

"Hmm, why don't you go in and sleep."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and stepped forward to pick her up, holding her in his arms, and the two snuggled on the sofa together.

Lin Yun'er, who buried her head in Lin Xiuyuan's neck, smelled the fragrance, snorted with thickened breathing, and then hugged the man in her arms tightly again.

"Waiting for you, I thought it would be midnight, it seems you're not a scumbag, didn't make me wait too long."

"..."

Lin Xiuyuan, who knew he was in the wrong, had learned to be smart now, keeping silent was the right thing to do.

According to what the beauty in his arms had said before, that is, big sisters would generally regulate their emotions, and he just needed not to add fuel to the fire.

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan didn't speak, Lin Yun'er also complained, "Comfort me, Xiuyuan xi~"

"Didn't you say before that at this time, I should learn to be silent?" Lin Xiuyuan laughed cautiously.

Lin Yun'er, who heard this, was also angered to laugh, rolling her eyes at this guy, "I'm not really angry, as long as the girl is not really angry, you have to coax and comfort her."

"Then how to distinguish fake anger and real anger."

"See if they are still talking to you, who is really angry, and will still talk to you?"

Lin Yun'er pursed her lips, looking at him with a smile.

Lin Xiuyuan was amused by her eyes, "Alright, I finally learned a new skill, I'll change it next time."

"You idiot."

After scolding Lin Xiuyuan with a smile, Lin Yun'er left his embrace and said, "Want to drink something."

The next second, Lin Yun'er, who just wanted to walk fast, was pulled back into his arms by Lin Xiuyuan, "No need, hug a little longer, thinking that I was praised by the media as a goddess returning to her 20s yesterday, and I can hold her in my arms tonight, why do I need to drink water."

Listening to this primary love talk in her ear, Lin Yun'er, who couldn't help but laugh, turned her head and tapped his head,

"Really? I'm afraid someone has eaten and drank enough at someone else's house, so they don't need my moisture replenishment here."

"How could it be, YoonA, don't slander me."

Regarding this aspect, Lin Xiuyuan was very much like a man.

That is, the kind of dead duck with a hard mouth.

Denying is fine, everyone knows it.

Admitting is miserable, who would provoke face to face.

This is not, when Lin Yun'er finished listening, she laughed out loud, "You, you, you can't learn the good ones, but you learn the bad ones quite quickly."

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged and changed the subject, "By the way, you said today that Xiaolu has something to find you, what are you two going to talk about."

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just discussing her next drama."

Lin Yun'er smiled and stretched out two fingers, and then under Lin Xiuyuan's gaze, they touched each other's fingertips.

"There are no good dramas in 2014, I think we can go to Huaxia, or try some literary films, it doesn't matter if the results are poor. She thinks that after acting in a good drama, she can't waste popularity, so we agreed to sleep in the same bed tonight to see who can convince whom."

After listening to Lin Yun'er's answer, Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, "Understood, then do you want to go over now? There should be no one at her house."

"We agreed, there should be no one." Lin Yun'er indicated.

Just before Lin Xiuyuan was about to get up, Lin Yun'er pressed his shoulder hard, looking at him with burning eyes and asked, "Xiuyuan, have you brushed your teeth."

This sentence sounded unrelated, but Lin Xiuyuan understood in seconds, smiled, although he didn't answer, he nodded.

So the next second, Lin Yun'er hugged his face and kissed him fiercely.

Early morning.

In Lin Xiaolu's apartment in 2013.

Lin Xiaolu, who had just returned home from work not long ago, had just come out after showering, and then glanced at the clock in the living room, not knowing when the person over there would be able to come over.

If it was later, she would really go to sleep.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolu turned her head to look at the secondary bedroom door next to her, as far as she knew, this was Lin Xiuyuan's positioning door.

And just as her thoughts drifted away, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yun'er walked in under her shocked gaze, crossing the door.

"Why so shocked, haven't you seen it?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who closed the door after entering, laughed.

Lin Xiaolu came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth lifted, pretending to be calm, "It's the first time I've seen it in my own home, you guys are a bit late."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yun'er spoke first without waiting for Lin Xiuyuan to open his mouth, seemingly pointing out skillfully, "Look at your wet hair, you must have just showered, someone who just got off work says we are late, let us come over here early to daze?"

"Long-winded." Seeing this, Lin Xiaolu didn't refute, just pouted.

Lin Xiuyuan, seeing that the two were about to 'scold' each other, turned around and said, "Then you guys talk first, I'm going back, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning, YoonA."

"Hmm, go, don't let people wake up and find no one by the pillow, then someone will blame me."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Xiuyuan, who heard this, subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaolu over there, and the other party really showed a surprised look.

So Lin Xiuyuan, who threw down this sentence, turned and ran away immediately, not wanting to stay to explain, or suffer Lin Xiaolu's eye attack.

And watching the secondary bedroom door close again, Lin Xiaolu immediately asked Lin Yun'er, "What do you mean by that sentence just now?"

"What do you mean."

Lin Yun'er smiled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Just literally, you guys don't need Xiuyuan, that doesn't mean Jiyeon and the others in 25 don't need him. Xiuyuan at this time is comparable to Tang Monk in Journey to the West, you guys are really wasting resources."

Before Lin Yun'er finished speaking, her eyes swept toward Lin Xiaolu's legs, smiling.

"If it's physical therapy like this, it will take a long time, right? When it turns on, I remember the first scene is a short skirt, beach fresh style outfit."

Lin Xiaolu, hearing this, clenched her little fist tightly, gritting her teeth and looking at the woman opposite.

That annoying face, why is it so punchable.

And if her thoughts at this time were known by Sunny and others, they would probably also laugh and ask Lin Xiaolu: You just know you are punchable.

But in the end, Lin Xiaolu loosened her fist, let out a long sigh of stuffiness, turned her head to the side, and said a bit unhappily, "Go wash your face."

"Wash face? I was done before I came over, pajamas are on."

Lin Yun'er didn't know why Lin Xiaolu said this, but she explained it.

Until she watched Lin Xiaolu point at herself, and then squeezed out a sentence very depressed, "Your mouth is full of traces, full of moist reflective lipstick, are you sick."

As soon as this was said, Lin Yun'er laughed.

After touching the moisture at the corner of her mouth, she laughed out loud again, and then came a sentence with tea-like air.

"Oh, sorry, forgot that I couldn't help myself with Xiuyuan just now."

"Lin! Yun! Er!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to wash my face, I'm going to wash my face."

On the other side.

Lin Xiuyuan, after sending Lin Yun'er to Lin Xiaolu's house, also returned to the apartment, but didn't leave to return to the Great Dragon Cub's apartment in 25.

Instead, he picked up the phone he put on the coffee table and looked at today's news.

Nothing special, except for a few tags in the group, no one was looking for him.

Except for the interaction with Zheng Xiuyan and others, Lin Xiuyuan was still a small transparent in this world.

Even his parents didn't look for him often, just occasionally sent an emoji on WeChat, and then Lin Xiuyuan replied to indicate that he was still alive and didn't hang up.

Then there was no then.

After reading it once, Lin Xiuyuan just put down the phone and prepared to return to 25, but the screen suddenly lit up.

Looking down at the message, it was actually sent by Kim Taeyeon.

Kim Taeyeon: 【Xiuyuan, are you asleep?】

Lin Xiuyuan stared at this message, and a thought flashed in his mind: Kim Taeyeon is interested in him.

To be honest, this was not Lin Xiuyuan's four major illusions of life.

Mainly because according to what the Great Dragon Cub said before, if you don't miss Lin Xiuyuan very much, how could you send a message or call Lin Xiuyuan in the middle of the night.

And in her opinion, a woman sending a message or calling a person of the opposite sex in the middle of the night, her favorability in her heart has exceeded the category of simple friends.

And the result is nothing more than two kinds:

Either grew up playing together~

Or preparing to grow up playing together~

These two, one is a noun, one is a verb.

At that time, Lin Xiuyuan didn't understand it at first, until the Great Dragon Cub whispered in his ear, he took a breath, "Is it so dirty, Jiyeon, where did you learn these things."

After the recollection, looking down at the text message Kim Taeyeon sent him, Lin Xiuyuan pursed his lips, and for a while didn't know how to reply.

Recently, he was practicing the scumbag persona, and suddenly returning to this pure love scene, he was a bit confused.

So after being dazed for a long time, he replied foolishly.

Lin Xiuyuan: 【Asleep.】
