Chapter 24: You're doing it again, you're always like this

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, spilling into this elegant French afternoon tea restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling glass, the warm yellow light falling on the white tablecloth and exquisite porcelain, and the air was filled with the faint scent of black tea and strawberry mille-feuille.

In a corner of the restaurant, a woman wearing sunglasses and exquisite makeup was already seated. She was wearing a champagne-colored trench coat, her hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, and her aura was cold.

At this time, the wind chime at the door jingled, and Krystal pushed the door and entered.

Today's her was dressed casually, a loose knit sweater paired with jeans, her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking fresh and natural.

And after entering the door, she quickly saw Jessica's position, and while raising the corners of her mouth, she didn't forget to greet Lin Xiuyuan behind her. "Walk faster, no cold face allowed."

Lin Xiuyuan, while following, replied in a low voice, "Is it required for me to smile and counterattack?"

"Don't counterattack, just coax her a bit, so I won't be nagged by her every day in the future."

Lin Xiuyuan, who heard this, couldn't help but look at her and laughed. "You didn't say that before you came."

For this, Krystal replied without any psychological burden, "I lied to you."

Hiss~

Lin Xiuyuan took a light breath, only then realizing that the Krystal in front of him was several levels higher than Zheng Xiuyan in 2013.

Time is truly a powerful thing.

Just as the two were about to walk to Jessica's side, Krystal finally said, "I'll give you a gift when I go back, just to make up for it, it's no problem to help me, equivalent exchange."

Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows. "Deal."

As soon as the words fell, the two also arrived in front of Jessica.

Krystal greeted as naturally as ever. "Unnie~"

Jessica slowly took off her glasses, her gaze swept over Lin Xiuyuan in front of her, then looked at Krystal beside her, her tone unhurried. "Sit down, why are you standing?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who heard this, glanced at Krystal, then sat down first, and then Krystal followed and sat down.

This was a small round table with four stools.

Lin Xiuyuan chose to sit opposite Jessica, and Krystal sat between the two, but at the moment of sitting down, she subconsciously moved the chair toward Lin Xiuyuan.

This subtle movement was immediately captured by Jessica, who instantly widened her eyes, staring at her sister in disbelief.

No, how long has it been since we sisters met, are you planning to play love at first sight with me?

Krystal, who noticed the wrong gaze, realized she was a bit impatient, so she hurriedly moved the stool away and sat at the distance between the two, neither favoring one nor the other.

It was just that this self-deceiving move made Jessica speechless, so she turned her gaze to Lin Xiuyuan and re-examined the other party.

The boy in front of her was completely different from when she first met him.

On the day they first met, he was wearing a set of wide, old-fashioned suits, a messy medium-long hair almost covering his entire face, the ends of his hair were frizzy and unbearable, looking exactly like a decadent literary youth who had just walked out of the ruins.

And now, in less than ten days, that messy long hair had become fresh and neat short hair, his forehead and eyebrows were fully revealed, the ends of his hair slightly curled up, carrying a bit of unruliness and relaxation.

What Jessica noticed most was Lin Xiuyuan's phoenix eyes.

If these eyes were covered by thick hair before, they were now like the morning mist clearing, sharp and deep, the corners of his eyes slightly raised. Just looking at people calmly was enough to bring a wonderful attraction.

Compared to his eyes, his delicate appearance seemed a bit plain.

Especially at this moment, he was smiling, his eyebrows carrying a natural charm, and the flow of his eyes was like the spring sun falling, which actually made Jessica's heart ripple slightly.

She hadn't seen handsome guys, but this "contrast-type" little boy was too foul, completely subverting her first impression.

Looking at his dress again, it had also changed from the earthy suit before to a simple and fresh sweatshirt and casual pants.

Clean, youthful, sunny, revealing a relaxed sense of youth, but not losing confidence and tension.

After being amazed by this Lin Xiuyuan who had changed his skin, Jessica didn't be vague, and turned to look at Krystal in front of the other party and asked, "Xiujing, did you change your taste?"

She remembered very clearly that her sister liked that kind of lean, slightly wild, sexy man.

And the little milk-dog-type boy in front of her, although pleasing, didn't look like her dish.

For this, Krystal hurriedly explained, "Unnie, we don't have such an outrageous relationship, we're just ordinary friends."

"Friends?" Jessica smiled, her tone meaningful.

"Hmm."

Seeing Krystal still daring to nod, she said again, "You don't even believe it yourself when you say this."

Lin Xiuyuan, sitting opposite, stayed very quietly, looking blankly at these two sisters who called him over, but they started fighting each other first, and all kinds of words brewed in his mouth suddenly had no place to be used.

Fortunately, Jessica, who had pinched a few sentences after Krystal, quickly aimed her spear at him, and the opening was a sentence, "Mr. Lin, that IOU of yours before, didn't you cheat me, and then approach Krystal?"

Very straightforward, and very sharp.

However, Lin Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Whether it came from your pen, you should know better than me. If you think it's inappropriate, I can return the money to you immediately. After all, I was still young at the time, whether this is true or false, you still have to ask my uncle."

Ask your uncle? Isn't your uncle dead?

With a turn of her brain, Jessica immediately wanted to scold. This kid was cursing her to die.

And Krystal on the side also understood this answer containing guns and sticks, and the depth of her eyes looking at Lin Xiuyuan added a few smiles and eye-rolls.

"I didn't mean that, I just heard some news recently, so I wanted to understand it."

Faced with Jessica's words, Lin Xiuyuan raised his head slightly toward Krystal without hesitation, indicating, "I'm just an errand runner, this one pays my wages, so I think if you want to ask, it should be more convenient to ask her than to ask me."

Krystal, who had just finished laughing secretly, didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to do this, and sold herself in the blink of an eye.

Jessica, hearing this, raised her eyebrows and looked at her sister. "But Xiujing rarely does this."

Then Lin Xiuyuan's answer was even more interesting. "I also feel a bit suspicious, maybe she wants to play with me, so for safety's sake, I've already resigned from her, you can rest assured about this."

"Hey, Lin Xiuyuan~"

Listening to Lin Xiuyuan's nonsense answer in her ear, Krystal finally couldn't sit still, turned her head and shouted at him, "Can you speak properly? You're doing it again, you're always like this."

You're doing it again~

You're always like this~

These two small tones with dissatisfaction and complaints, when they fell into Jessica's ears, became Krystal's extremely rare coquetry.

So she looked at the other party in shock.

Before, she just wanted to chat with the other party casually, how did these two suddenly start showing affection in front of her and go public directly?

Not right, very not right.

Esteemed godfathers, still a few hundred votes short of two thousand, I don't know if I can have this opportunity~
